Can't go into fastboot mode. Please help! - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I have a razr I and decided to unlock the bootloader. I tried the button combination power + volume down several times, but the phone just powers up normally (actually rhe screen flashes for a second, but doesn't go into fastboot mode. I trided using adb reboot fastboot but the device just reboots. What can I do about it?
NVM, just did it by fastboot reboot bootloader...

Ok, one more thing. It seems my device ignores the key combo, but I was still able to get into fastboot mode by using adb. However, I have tried to flash a custom recovery with no success.
I tred using the supplied installer and after rebooting I get to the open robot screen with the red exclamation mark. Then, after holding some keys (not sure if power or power + volume down I get into recovery, but it's still the stock android recovery. Then I tried flashing the recovery image from fastboot mode. It sait the recovery was flashed, but still cannot boot into recovery. What's wrong with my phone?

Just incase you need to do it in the future:
Hold volume down, then hold the power button. When it begins to vibrate release the power button and keep the volume down button pressed until you get into fastboot.

Alright. So how about the never appearing CWM recovery?

Safe Mode

Is there a way to boot on Safe Mode on our device using key combos ? (like enter fastboot)
I've managed to boot Pi-Llama clean flash without bootloops using Safe Mode, but i have no idea how to do that again.

The only way I know is to hold the power button until the menu pops up (the device needs to be booted up for sure), then long-pressing the shutdown menu-button. A message will appear to ask you, if you want to boot in safe mode.
I just found the combo by trial and error
Boot up your device while holding down Vol+ and Vol-.
Edit: Ok, after a bit of testing, the only button that activates safe mode is Vol-. But in order to not enter fastboot, you would need to power on -> wait 2 secs after the bootup-vibration and then hold down Vol-.

Weird Softbrick

So I installed a TWRP RECOVERY a Motorola RAZR i, using the Flash Tool.
It installed but I could never access it from the POWER VOLUME UP & DOWN method.
So I had to turn the phone on and enable USB Debugging then use ADB to reboot into recovery via the Flash Tool.
Then I was working on a PORT when I flashed a ROM, it went into bootflop, now I cannot get into the BOOTLOADER at all.
It never works, it will show the normal warning sign and then just go straight to the ROM.
I tried using RSD with an SBF File but it did not work, as I have to be in fastboot and I cannot be in without going into the bootloader.
Is there no hope for this device...
I have the feeling that twrp isn't flashed right. U did use fastboot?
For the bootloop. Hold volume down the whole time when it boots/bootloops, it will boot in ap flashmode (fastboot). Maybe u need to stop pressing the button after the first restart(when holding the volume down button) at the moment u get the warning.
Easily recoverable, just need some trying with the above way.

My method to come into fastboot-mode while having a bootloop:
1. when in bootloop press all buttons (power, VolUp, VolDown) and keep pressed
2. when screen goes off, leave the VolUp button alone, keep VolDown and Power pressed.
3. when phone vibrates, leave power alone and keep VolDown pressed
4. the bl-unlock-warning shows up and after a few seconds you should be in fastboot-mode
5. now you can leave VolDown alone
Maybe you need some tries, cause its a question of timing, but for me it works.
Thanks...

I am very grateful for your help. Thank You ever so much. The solution worked perfectly. You saved my phone

[Q] Unlocked Bootloader Can't Get Into Bootloader Mode

Unlocked and rooted with TWRP and SuperSU.
Ok, so I messed with framework-res.apk when I wasn't in recovery mode, and now know I should not have done this unless I was in recovery.
Phone will start to boot and begin the boot up animation but then goes blank. Adb does not recognize the device when connected to my computer, so I don't think it boots.
Problem is that when I hold volume down and power buttons together, it won't boot into fastboot mode, either.
So I can't use adb and can't get into fastboot mode. If I hold the power button down for 7 seconds, it starts to boot again but goes blank after the boot up animation begins.
Any ideas? I don't understand why I can't get into bootloader mode. I wouldn't think a system file like framework-res.apk would have anything to do with the bootloader mode.
OK, figured it out. I had to disconnect my phone from my computer and then hold all 3 buttons down - power, volume up and volume down and then release. That put me into bootloader mode.
I can now confirm that you (or at least I) should not mess with framework-res.apk even while in recovery, lol!
All I want is my custom wallpaper back, wah!
The good news is that if you can't boot into bootloader using volume down and power, you can try the 3 button reset to get into bootloader. Have to hold them all down for at least 10 seconds and you can't be connected to your computer by a USB cord.

[Q] Cannot enter recovery mode of Moto G

Hi guys,
I just unlocked my phone and tried entering recovery mode, but it won't work, it just boots normal.
Pressing 3 sec VolDown + Power
Pressing VolDown, then VolUp.
Android Logo appears and after a few seconds phone boots just normal.
Tried it now a thousand times.
Any suggestions?

Ohhh srry flash stock recovery
I have a slightly different problem, I try to get into Recovery but in Recovery no options show up at all, all I see is the Android robot laying down with the '!' mark, with no options, sometimes it also says 'No command' with the Android.
Boot menu before you select Recovery works fine. (I'm completely stock)

Similar issue here: I unloacked the bootloader, and can't enter recovery mode of the stock Motorola recovery. Recovery mode stops with same picture as described above, robot lying on it's back. Does Motorola prevent loading the stock recovery when the phone is unlocked? I did not try to enter recovery with locked phone by the way, so can't tell if stock recovery didn't work in the first place.
Hi
That's the correct behaviour. Press volume UP+power, release power then volume UP, that v then shows the menu in recovery
Sent from my XT1068 using XDA Free mobile app
Finally I found correct way to do that
To be clear I will start from beginning
1. Power off device
2. Press Volume DOWN + Power buttons for 3 to 5 sec then release Volume DOWN and then Power
3. Now select Recovery. Android with /!\ will be shown.
[Lollipop]
4. Press Power and while pressing it tap Volume Up
[KitKat]
4. Press Volume UP for 5 sec while pressing Volume UP press Power button.
(don't release Volume UP before pressing Power)
You are now in stock Recovery

Thanks, for the explanation! Only remaining odd thing: my device reboots to system OS instead of recovery when selecting recovery in the bootloader. I'm only able to go into recovery by:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery
I have the same exact problem where I could not go to recovery mode.
When in fastboot screen, I select Recovery by pressing volume up button and instead of phone going to recovery mode, my phone restarts to lands to lock screen.
When you say that you are able to go to recovery by -
Code:
fastboot boot recovery
What does it mean?
Which directory I have to be in to execute this command?

My moto g is having the same problem, let me try the method you mentioned down here

It is really odd though that you have to follow steps which are not mentioned in fastboot mode to get to the recovery mode.

My phone won't go past the android with ! in a triangle. I have tried pressing the up button for 15 secs and then the power button but nothing happens.
I have a Consumer Cellular XT1064 with unlocked bootloader which I flashed to retail Rom. Then I was able to go to stock recovery normally with pressing up 15sec and power, and manually flash the 5.0 OTA update. Now a few weeks later when I want to flash the second OTA update, I can't go into recovery.
Any help please.

I've been having this issue too. Can someone post the recovery.img for the latest stock recovery? I want to try and flash it and see if I can get into recovery then.

Worked on the first attempt. This is the correct key combination in the Android 5.0 build.

Bootloop, help!

After flashing AEX ROM phone hangs on boot screen. I can't force it to shut down, I have to wait until battery drains. Then I connect the charger, phone immediately boots up, here we go again...
I can't use newflasher.
Brick?
Use Sony Emma.
My phone is also bootlooped after i failed to flash the software.
I don't remember but maybe hold volume up and power button and the phone vibrates 3 or 4 times and after turning off.
Brick is not likely. Plug the phone into a PC, hold power button and up volume until it vibrates then hold the volume up until the blue led shows, meaning you entered fastboot mode. Then open a terminal for adb, wipe with fastboot commands and flash another rom of your choice.
I can flash zip using fastboot??
Code:
fastboot flash system rom.zip
Somehow key combo worked and I got into twrp and flashed rom
