How to boot into System Revovery/nandroid/ from a power off situation.

I was trying out a new setup on my phone when it got stuck on the Motorola M. I found that you can boot into System Recovery with out going through the app and doing a recovery boot. This is not the factory manual reboot procedure.
***Boot into System Recovery**
Steps
1. If stuck in M logo screen or Dexter's screen, pull battery
2. Insert battery and hit power button
3. As soon as you hit power button hold the Volume up button down until the unboxing logo comes up.
**Updated with info provided by 3rdstring**
And now you can use nandroid to go back to a earlier version of dexter's or what ever you have on your card.
I would also recommend to wipe the dalvik cache, and cache partition. You do not need to do a factory reset.
Hope this helps others out, no need to reflash to stock version when your phone bricks.
**Factory Reboot steps***
To Manually Reset
If there are significant problems with your device or you are not able to follow the steps above please use the following process to manually reset the phone:
Turn off phone
Press Power key + Camera Key + GalleryKey to power on the phone and bring up the recovery screen
When the Triangle/Exclamation point screen appears, press Volume Up + Gallery Key down and tap the camera key to show the recovery menu.
When the recovery window appears, use the volume up/down keys to navigate the menu and the camera key to enter your selection.
Select Wipe data/factory reset
Select Reboot Phone

You should only need to hold in the volume up button while powering on the phone to boot into OpenRecovery once it's installed either via Dexter's System Recovery app or through the directions on ModMyMobile.

I do believe that is what I said. Tested it myself. Hold the power button to turn on like normal, then just hold the volume up button down.

Motorola Motoluxe Will Not Boot!

Hello,
I have rooted my device and then downloaded CWM and tried to install Cyanogen Mod, I have tried this before and it just rebooted with nothing happening. This time the device would not boot past the motorola logo. I took out the battery and attempted to boot but again the device got stuck at the moto logo.
Can anyone help?
I am terribly sorry if this has been asked before or sounds like a nooby question, desktops and laptops are more my thing, don't know as much about mobile devices. Also there are not many helpful threads on the internet as apparently this is an underrated phone :/
Thanks for any help

The Motoluxe page suggested I do this
1. Power up the phone by pressing the VOL UP + VOL DOWN KEYtogether + PWR KEY
2. The device will start up with Motorola logo and power up to a little Androidman logo with Exclamation mark
3. Tap the HOME soft key at the bottom of the device (In between the MENU andthe RETURN soft keys)
4. The device will display BLUE Text on a Black background
5. Press the VOL DOWN key till the Wipe data / factory reset is selected andpress the PWR key to confirm the selection
6. Use the VOL DOWN key again to select YES - delete all user data and pressthe PWR key to CONFIRM
7. The device will then start performing the Factory Data Reset
8. Once the Formatting is complete , press the PWR key to confirm a REBOOT
9. The message rebooting is displayed on the phone
10. The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence
Which does not actually work

I can not enter data mode wipi DATA

I have been trying that but it wont work, do I have to hold it for like 30 seconds or 5 minutes ?
And btw if I do get into recovery mode how do I click enter (I was there before but I couldn't select things since I only have Power button and volume buttons)

You navigate with volume up and volume down and select with the power button once you are in recovery mode.
Try holding volume up and volume down at the same time and press the power button to get into recovery mode. Or try just holding volume up and then press the power button.

I tried every possibility, I don't think I can go into recovery mode. Is there a way to fix it if I connect to my computer or something ? I can turn on the Tablet and plug it into my PC but I just need a way to do a factory reset or reformat or w/e to remove everything.

You can access recovery with adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853159. Just follow the instruction!

1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL UP + VOL DOWN KEY together + POWER KEY .
2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS
3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to SELECT
Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited to long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.
4. The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark)
5. Press and hold the VOL DOWN key, then tap and release the VOL UP key.
Tip: You can try this step, holding the phone in landscape. If you are stuck on step 5, try a force reboot by pressing the power Key and Vol Down key, and start the process again.
6. The device will display additional menu options (Text will appear in BLUE)
7. Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll to wipe cache partition and the POWER Key to SELECT this option.
8. The device will then perform the partition wipe
Many thanks to motorola for this one. Getting some use today.

I have been using the phone for a while and then the device rebooted suddenly..Next time it didnt boot and i cant even wipe or factory reset the phone..Anyone please help me?:crying:

Enter the recovery mode: Press and hold power and volume - buttons until the bootloader appears on screen, after that scroll with the volume buttons throught the options until you select "recovery" and now press the power button..
Wait ubtil an android logo appear onscreen and now press and hold the poser button, then press and hold the volume + and let go both at the same time, now you can wipe your device.

Did you get it wet or drop it?
