i've tried to set my device back to stock because of an warrenty issue. So if flashed the boot.emmc.win of an nandroid. But then i made a mistake, instand of launching the recovery i've reboted the device, now it's in a bootloop.
if i press the power and volume down button to restart the bootloader, the home and back buttons starts flashing but nothing happens. in the meantime the device switched off (battery runs low). now when i try to start to bootload the home and back buttons are flashing around 15 times but the display stays black.

the flashing buttons is good. what you need to do is hold POWER + VOL DOWN with the phone under a very bright light (not kidding), eventually it will reboot (anywhere between 30 seconds to 2 minutes) and you may have to try it several times.
Once it does reboot, keep holding VOL DOWN to enter bootloader.

Well if the device is OFF (for sure? EDIT: do you have Fast Boot checked in SETTTINGS->POWER-Fast boot?? it should be unchecked), then the lights shouldn't be blinking, you would just need to press POWER + VOLDOWN to boot up, keep holding VOLDOWN until bootloader appears.
If phone is stuck on HTC Logo, then buttons will be blinking to indicate a "simulated battery pull"; you may have to try 4 to 5 times if it doesnt work from the first, and for longer than just 20 secs, it takes me anywhere 30sec to a minute (but could take longer).
But remember to have the sensor under a bright light, it makes a big difference, can't tell you how many times this has worked for the same situation as yours. (One guy used a flash light, another went to the bathroom where the lights were brightest LOL, etc.)
Once it reboots, remember to keep holding VOL DOWN to get to bootloader.

Quick look at the usual sites, and couldn't find a 1.29.111.16 stock recovery. you could extract it from an OTA if you find one. i have to sign off for today, but I should be back tomorrow if you still haven't found it, I'll try to help. (Are you S-Off or S-On?)
Sorry got to go....

Hi all,
My phone is EU retail, locked, unrooted. I updated from ICS to JB via manual download of the update and installation via SD card as explained in one of the more popular threads here. Now after the JB update, I want to enter recovery in order to clear the cache.
With ICS, I was perfectly capable to enter the stock recovery. Press power + vol. down for a few seconds, and the (fastboot?) menu appreaed where I could select recovery. Then the dead robot shows up, I pressu vol. up + vol. down and I had the expected options. Now on JB however, this does not work. It does not matter how long i hold power + vol.down, it always boots the system. When I press power + vol. down and keep holding the two buttons, the green LED goes on and off, then the phone vibrates, showes the red M and seemingly starts to boot. Then the screen goes off and it repeats the 3 steps (LED, vibrate, red M) but then goes on to boot up the system...
Is this supposed to happen?
Same here. It looks like there is no Recovery installed at all, so will try to flash one tonight.

I'm new to Motorola so need to ask...what is this stock recovery for? Is it the same as a typical 'custom recovery'? I've never heard of a manufacturer putting on in their ROM...so can I do a normal backup of a ROM or no? Thanks

Thanks, this releasing of the power button while still holding vol. down works reliable to get into fastboot. However, when I select recovery, the screen goes black? Something is not quite right with my phone...
Edit: I seem to get the hang of it. Now I finally get into recovery. When I select it from the fastboot menu, the screen gets black for a couple of seconds and then the dead robot appears. To get the options in recovery, I press both vol up + down at the same time twice. Initially, the layout in recovery is broken up. Just two blue lines at the top and a few characters in green at the left border. Once I press any of the volume buttons, the options finally appear.
Hmm I have not gotten into recovery on JB even once...can't get in.
help please!!
i have de same problem
when i push power button, the green led turns on for a few seconds and then the phone get off... i can not enter into recovery mode either
anyone know how to fix it or fix it already
thanks!! :crying:
The above tip doesn't work for me - either my timing is wrong or I don't understand the instuctions.
Someone else kindly explained it differently and eventually I got it working. That was posted in some other thread and I don't think it was directly related to recovery - I can't even find that post now!
I have found people saying they've got root on the RAZR M on locked bootloader Jelly Bean...but you need to access stock recovery which I can't do now.

That's the original post...I don't fully understand it.
I am grateful to that poster for trying help people - so I don't want to be misunderstood! :good:
If I were to describe the boot process to someone, nothing 'vibrates' - so I don't understand that. My phone doesn't vibrate when boot begins, and no 'i' vibrates either. Also, there are two 'i's. There is the i in Intel and in Inside. I'm guessing it's the first i. Believe me, I have tried 10 combinations like 50 times. I know it can be done, but can't do it using that post.
Nope, someone else explained it differently and I got it the first time. It wasn't a recovery thread so it's hard to find now.
Your Razr does not vibrate after boot? This is strange. Ok, let me try to describe the process based on my Razr i. (As simple as possible)
1. The mobile is turned off
2. Press and hold the Vol- button
3. Now press and hold the Power button and observe the green light. It turns on at the same time I press the Power button. The green light is on for approx. 2 seconds than it turns off.
4. Just at the moment when the green light turns off my Razr vibrates twice within 1 second.
5. I need to release the Power button before the 2. vibration and at least 0,5 seconds later the Vol- button. This is the point to get in the fast boot menu.
Without any vibration you should try to release the Power button just at the moment when the green light turns off - followed by releasing the Vol- button 0,5 seconds later.

Hey, a fellow XDA member has managed to soft brick his One. He flashed a bad zip file, and his phone boot loops. He cannot access the boot loader as he has Fast Boot turned on in Settings - Power, however he can't turn this off as he can't turn the phone on. Has anyone got any advice?

No the LEDs just flash forever
put the phone under a bright light.
hold down power, lights will flash and phone will shut down in about 15-20 seconds
then hold volume down and power to get back to bootloader

hello,
actually it's my problem. thanks MacHackz for all the help he already has done for me.
I tried that with a bright light. it worked in this way that phone really turns off, but as soon as I remove the light, it turns on again. I cannot get it into bootloader.
EDIT: I flashed the phone with MAG-light from the start of charging. screen was black, but buttons started to blink. it went into hboot, and from there I went into recovery. I went to a reboot and press power off. I'll recharge it fully, and then I'll try to sideload a new ROM.
EDIT II: I tried to charge it, but it simply wont stay off. as soon as I plug the cable in, it turns on! I manage to enter HBOOT so I went into recovery and there phone is charging. so, I'll recharge it there and upload a RUU.
does anyone has right RUU? I have EU version from UK.
Did you not make a backup before flashing ??, there is a list of roms on Mikes Android Revolution Rom post - have a look at his guide
Heres another list also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194707

ADB was still responsive but none of the reboot commands would do anything. FINALLY found this, went in the bathroom, held the phone up to the light with the power button help down and 10 seconds later it's back to life. double you tee eff...
Hi
ReVolt ROM is stuck on the flash screen on second boot up.
Long press of power button does nothing but flash buttons no matter how long I hold it for!
Phone isn't showing as connected to PC either so cannot use adb commands.
Do I have to wait for the thing to die??? If so thats annoying as its at 91%
Umh, for which version of One is this rom?
However, re-try with longpress of Power button
International. CID is HTC_001.
Tried power again. Held for about 20 seconds... Nothing.
Can you share the link of the rom?
I can't see it in htc one section...

Shine a bright light at the phone and hold down power for 20 seconds Seriously
Right... Seriously... How the hell did that work???? I'm stunned. Brilliant.
its becoming a known fact that putting it under a light while holding button combo is a real solution. it has something to do with the sensors to prevent an accidental button combo while in a pocket or bag
My One is S-Off, bootloader unlocked and i have installed custom rom.
Sometimes when the phone is turned off (no matter which rom is installed, no matter if fastboot is on or off) and when i press the power button, nothing happens. Even if i charge the phone, not even the LED lights up.
The only solution is to wait for about 10 Minutes and try again to press the power button. Sometimes it turns on, sometimes not.
What is the problem here? This is weird :crying:
I just turned it off, then turned it on and now the spalashscreen apperas and then the screen gets black again. Can not acces fastboot or recovery.
Nobody knows an answer? I need this phone right now. Have no alternative...

I dont know whats the problem. The phone seems completely dead now...
But it does not even boot the rom i have installed. (if it boot anyway) After splash it turns off again
Maybe there is something wrong with the memory. Maybe the harddrive is broken. (Just works sometimes) ?

press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN, blinking light after a few seconds? yes-> keep holding under a bright light (no, i am not kidding!! bathroom lights seem to be working for many ), once the phone reboots (20 to 40 seconds), let go of POWER button, but keep holding VOLDOWN until u get to bootloader.
(repeat, if necessary, sometimes takes me 2 to 3 tries for it to work... bright light is IMPORTANT)

What if u try it again. Hold all 4 buttons, while the phone is connected to power for 10sec. After that release the power and volume up button. So u hold volume down all the time. See what happens.
Hello there, sorry for this resurrection but I have the same problem, black screen, green led on, but nothing more, no fastboot, no recovery, no logos, no vibration, nothing.
Is there any solution for this? I've tried power button + volumen down in many ways and nothing seems to work.
Thanks in advance!

You can only try to flash ifwi and dnx as I did but I also had no success and also Moto themselves couldn't fix the phone.
If your phone is still in warranty it will get replaced, otherwise you can throw it away.
i had this problem when my battery was deeply unloaded. i had to load it with an powersource with 1A and a factory cable. that worked for me...
Help ,, please emergency !!!!
my xt890 lcd screen and digitizer were broken so i changed them and the phone was working fine for a week, i then wanted to update to kitkat through oem update; everytime i tried it would give me error . i then read that since i unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone and installed cwm recovery i couldnt do an oem update and i had to do a factory reset in order to update through oem, so i did just that ; after the phone finished factory reset and booted i proceeded with oem update while the phone was charging, everything was going fine the file was downloading, i went to the bathroom and came back the display was black, but touch screen was working fine...through more searching i read that this could be from the update, and i should do another reset... since i couldnt see anything even recovery menu. i downloaded moborobo so i can see my screen on pc and proceeded to factory reset ... now i cant even see through moborobo and im stuck. Please help.
