Trying to hard reset my xt1068 kitkat phone, didn't show dead android guy at all. - Moto G 2014 LTE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone was frozen when I was taking a video,
then I forced restart the phone by pressing power button until it restarted.
However, my phone stuck at the android logo for a quite long time with the screen on, so I decided to do a factory reset.
I have tried the following steps on my friend's phone as we bought exactly same phone,
and succeded at first attempt.
1, volume down + power button goes into boot options.
2, then android logo, then about 2 seconds later, dead android guy would appear.
HERE is my phone's problem:
in this step after showing android logo, my phone would vibrate once and then just gone black,just like turning off. NO DEAD ANDROID GUY showed up. Certainly would not be able to do the rest steps.
I have searched and tried so many methods that others used when they could not get into the bootloader. NONE of them succeded.
So I need help, guys.
Anyone got any ideas.
Thanks in advanced !!!

no one ?
I guess I had to bring it to the store for repairing.

1. power button + volume(down) button
then in bootloader menu:
2. volume(down) button to goto down to 'recovery'
3. volume(up) button for selecting it
Alternative I would try this:
power button + volume(down) button
then in bootloader menu stay here connect usb and use fastboot on pc.

[Solved] Galaxy death after Froyo Flash

Hi to all,
i used this way to enter the download modus http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765703
it was the first time i could enter this modus. Then i tried to flash JPC firmware with odin. Something went wrong. Now my phone boots up (the animated "S" with sound), vibrate and the screen went black.
The touch controls working fine but the screen is still black and the phone vibrates sometimes.
Unfortunally i reach not the download or recovery modus.
What can i do, please help!
kind regards
srkonus
you have to get into the download mode
if you can not get into the download mode
then you are stuck
you can try to be lucky and see if you can reboot it into the ADB reboot download
Thanks for your answer, how made this with the adb reboot download? My Windows 7 does not see the phone.
I get this: error: device not found
You should get in to download mode because the s is after the download mode.
I never see the s when trying to get into download
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
That is my problem, i get into the download modus not yesterday, and today only one time.
I try this:
battery out and in, center button, vol up and power -> nothing
battery out and in, center button, vol down up and power -> nothing
battery out and in, vol down up, center button and power -> nothing
battery out and in, vol down down, center button and power -> nothing
I do not know how i went into the download mode nearly one hour before.
ADB and kies find not the phone :-(
1) Pull out battery.
2) Reinsert battery.
3) Press VOL DOWN - HOME - POWER and keep the 3 buttons pressed until you'll see a yellow image on the phone. You are in download mode!
If your Phone has no Problem with the 3-Button-Combo:
- Turn off your Phone
- Hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons
- While holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons press POWER Button until you reach Download-Mode
- Release all Buttons
Otherwise the only solution is to bring it back to Samsung. ;-)

How was the condition of your battery before you got into trouble. You think you have enough power? If not, let your phone rest for a while and try it again later. Make sure that when you get into download mode you have odin ready so you can flash new firmware immediately .
Nothing,
the only thing i can see is the white samsung galaxy letters, after that the phone reboots.

- Turn off your Phone

Could be a little tricky to get into download mode. ;-)
Yeah,
back to samsung...nice joke. I do not beliefe, that samsung will change the phone. It was rooted and i installed the modclock recovery before to backup the ROM.
Maybe the device was really warm from charging - is this the key?
i think your Flash was ok. You´ve only forgotten to do a Data Wipe / Factory Reset from Recovery.
Have a look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769400
AFTER FLASHING TO JPC ITS NECESSARY TO DO A DATA/FACTORY RESET FROM RECOVERY (Volume up + Home + Power).
OTHERWISE YOUR PHONE WILL DO MYSTERIOUS THINGS!!!

Reconsider the advice of Arey. To go into download mode can be really tricky sometimes.
Maybe ur battery is drained get some one else to charge it for u
The battery is full

[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?

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.

[Q] Need bootloop help

I'm trying to remotely help a friend with a Nexus 6 stuck in a bootloop. The phone is new, just out of the box. He accepted an OTA update before doing anything else, so no USB debugging (or anything else) was set. Now it's stuck in a bootloop.
Is there a step by step guide available to allow flashing a factory image in this situation. Everything I find so far requires USB debugging to be set first. Or, are we talking brick? Returning the phone would be very difficult.

If I were your friend I would put the phone back in the box take it back to the store and demand a brand new one immediately that shouldn't be happening on the stock device

Unfortunately, he bought in the US and is now far outside the US. That's why returning would be difficult.

He can do each of these steps but when it reboots after #6 it goes back to the dead robot and "no command"
1. With the phone powered off, press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time until the device turns on. You will see the word "Start" with an arrow around it.
2. Press the Volume Down button twice to highlight "Recovery mode"
3. Press the Power button to restart into Recovery mode. You'll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark and the words "No command."
4. While holding down the Power button, press the Volume Up button.
5. Use the volume buttons to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press the Power button to select it.
6. Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press the Power button to select it.

At this point, you must connect to a PC and see if you can get fastboot to recognize the device. Then we can proceed.

USB debugging does not have anything to do with being in fastboot or recovery. As long as the proper drivers are installed, your computer can recognize it and you can use fastboot in bootloader.

Nope. I have the same situation and am stuck with the test mode screen when attempt to boot the system. Recovery works fine. Tried the hold both volume buttons and plug into PC, and now have tried this. Always the same screen, nothing about selecting English, just the option to access the Options Menu. Selecting Fastboot takes me to menu where Ican select Recovery, Startup, AND "Boot to FFBM". Have wiped all but internal SD, and "Repaired" System, Persist, Cache. Have tried installing an official ROM and Lineage ROM. No combinations of these have fixed the problem.
Problem started when I was updating the official ROM and decided to try out the FFBM boot option. BIG mistake.
Now am stuck with a system that will no longer boot.

UPDATE: TWRP 3.0.3-0 saved my ass. It permits selection of booting into EDL (9008) mode, bypassed all the PC based commands that weren't working, and I reloaded Zuk factory ROM again. Got past the test mode screen finally. Discovered that I don't care for the original ROM at all, too many Google things I'm accustomed to (Like Google Play store) missing. Added a few things back in, but wasn't worth the trouble. It took me about 15 minutes to refla sh it using TWRP with the latest nightly version of the Mokee ROM for this device (Android 7.1.2) and it works GREAT. Lineage wasn't ready yet.
The only hold over from all my initial problems is that upon boot it acts of if I'm doing the up Vol button action. It goes to the screen where I can press a Vol button and go into the boot loader or just wait 5 seconds for it to carry on booting normally. I don't know how to correct this, but not really a problem.
