Hey everyone,
The Motorola logo isn't coming up now when I start the phone. I originally had a partition problem and doing the pds fixed the problem but I still don't see the Motorola logo on start up.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Do not flash the sbf. Good chance you'll brick it. I might try wiping it via category first then refocusing cm7.
Whats category?

Hey everyone,
My brother was accidentally playing around in recovery and started the format data process and then panicked and pulled out the battery. Now the hard buttons on the phone don't work. Also the phone no longer displays the M symbol on start up. I've tried to restore using nandroid, fruitcake but nothing has worked. I'm thinking of using SBF but I'm not sure. Currently has CM7 if that matters.
Anyone know how to fix this? Would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks in advance!

as said before good chance for a brick. fastboot is ok though, it will do everything you want. you will be able to recover as long as you have fastboot still accessible.
What is the wipe command exactly?

If using fastboot on your PC, then:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
If using moto-fastboot on your PC then:
moto-fastboot erase boot
moto-fastboot erase system
moto-fastboot erase userdata
moto-fastboot erase cache
moto-fastboot erase webtop
moto-fastboot erase preinstall
This will clean your pipes pretty good!
Did what you posted in the post above and installed cm7. When I restart I get the following:

Seems like you might have to issue unlock command from fastboot again?
fastboot oem unlock
Can't be sure though.
Just tried it and still no luck!
young cardiac, any luck in figuring out how to get rid of that second screen you came across?
I had the problem with the pds partition as well, and now have the screen with the serial number, etc and no moto logo.
i was able to successfully unlock bootloader, was able to flash a rom successfully, used that rom for a good couple days. then i decided to try a new rom InfectedROM Eternity™ | RLS_1.5 | NIGHTLYS | 3.0 & 3.5 | XE BEATS |(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277431&highlight=stock+radio), so i went into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset, system. then i flashed the new rom, new rom loaded but stuck in that roms boot screen.
i went back to recovery wiped everything out again, installed the 1st orig rom i installed, now it just loads to the htc boot screen, & every 30sec or so the htc boot screen would go off & come back on. i went to recovery wiped everything again, did nandroid restore, same results, any suggestions?
what im using:
unlocked bootloader
s -on
hboot 1.50
using teamwin recovery v2.0
Just wipe flash a new rom. Should be good to go

Did you apply any tweaks or different kernels? was your kernal that you are on now compatible with the rom that you had put on? The recovery your on, r you on 2.0 or the second releaese of 2.0?
You could try to reflash your recovery and then try to nandroid back. Or try a different kernel and or different rom and go from there. Kind of hard to diagnose bc not sure of exactly what you have done completely. If all else fails, search for the ruu and re apply the original rom and re root.
From my guess, it sounds as something that was applied didn't apply right. Again, not sure on all the details.. I know its not much to go on but good luck on it.
Look at the bright side, your obviously not bricked and if you have to re apply the original and start over, its not that bad. Just a little time out of the afternoon.
only update i did was the rom
tried about 2 more diff roms, still same issue
hmm.. i also choose the "system format" in twrp, would that have done some damage?
Are you using fastboot to boot into recovery? If not, and you're hboot 1.5, then that's your problem.
And wiping system wouldn't cause any issues as long as you flash a new ROM after wiping the system, before you reboot.

ah ok i manually go into hboot with the down volume + power. did "fastboot reboot-bootloader" into bootloader, wiped out everything & reinstall rom, still same issue.
Try extracting the boot.img from the zip file containing the rom and flashing it with with fastboot binary. If you have S-ON, CWM can't flash the boot partition so you'll get bootloops with any rom that needs a custom initrd.gz. You need to manually flash the boot partition.

Yea, do adb reboot bootloader, and then do fastboot boot recovery.img.
You will need to make sure that you have a copy of your recovery.img in the folder that you are working out of when you issue the fastboot boot recovery.img command

Okay, I'm having the same problem. No matter what I do, I get stuck in a boot loop after installing a rom. Extracting the boot.img and flashing in fastboot doesn't do a thing. My nand backups don't work either (get stuck at restoring boot).
Don't have any problems installing recovery and gaining root. I'm at a loss here. I really want to get my MIUI on!

Are you booting your recovery from fastboot? Fastboot boot recovery.img. If not, boot.img won't flash. It's not necessary to flash the boot.img separately, just boot your recovery from fastboot and you'll be good.

Yup, definitely booting recovery from fastboot.

Pull your battery out on boot logo stuck just for 1-2 sec and put it in.
always works for me
Also,
1. Are you using the latest Romracer's recovery?
2. Did you wipe properly before and after the installation?
How long are you letting your phone sit and reboot for after flashing CM7?
You may just be not letting it sit long enough. It can take a while on first boot.

Try a full fastboot wipe:
reboot to recovery
wipe dalvik
wipe cache
reboot to fastboot
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
fastboot reboot (to recovery)
flash ROM
Helping?
yes as said above try pulling battery i had the same problem with mine and that helped also i have read on the dev forums about this and it may help be sure you have the newest rom racers and recovery, try waiting for a while after first boot it is a long one much longer than other roms i have tried, be sure to factory reset, wipe cache, go to advanced and delete the cache in there, and do a battery stat wipe (for the heck of it). Install the rom and let it load if it does get stuck just pull battery and try again it usually loads on the 2nd try on mine with some other roms as well.
Also you should try the aura roms and cm9 (although cm9 currently isnt playing music on my phone) it is based off of Ice Cream Sandwich)

Yep, I'm not having any problems.
I was just explaining to the OP that they may need to flash the ROM twice in a row for it to take. I had to do it with jokers CM9 ROM in order for it to work. Joker just posted about it last night.
Though, if you're asking the OP, Ken's Alien ROM didn't require an unlocked bootloader so that may be the problem.
I've been having a few issues with the root and rom as time has went on. First my fingerprint reader went, then I would have random crashing and shutdowns. Those errors began to get more frequent, and now the internal memory card decided it will wipe itself clean. So I'm done with what ever I had installed. According to the phone that was on April 4th.
I've read some confusing stuff on here about rooting and unrooting, and none of the information is the same. I imagine thats because of all the updates the phone has gone through.
I would like to install cm7 or cm9 since it seems much more stable.
Any help at all to even simply unroot the phone would be appreciated. I need full functionality back.

Actually, if you want the cleanest and least likely to cause problems method, you should do a full fastboot wipe prior to installing any new ROM. Just wiping data, cache, and dalvik does not give you a completely clean wipe and prep properly for the new ROM.
If you are updating a ROM from a previous release, you are usually OK with just wiping Dalvik and cache. The dev will normally state what to do in their thread.
Thanks for the replies. How would I be able to check if I've unlocked the boot loader? I did this almost a year ago so I don't remember if I also did that.

Not necessarily. If a SBF has been flashed after unlock, the word "unlocked" is not there.
So going off of what you two have said and another thread I looked at. I have time to do this sunday.
First I will unlock the bootloader
then run through these steps
boot to recovery
Wipe Dalvik
wipe cache
factory reset/data
boot into fastboot
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
fastboot reboot
From here I can then load cm7 rom onto my sd card and install it via recovery?
Also, reading further into cm7, it doesnt support he fingerprint reader or web/lap-top huh. Are there any nightly releases that have it? I've seen ONE, but I've been out of this scene too long to really know what good right now.

Download CM7.2 RC1 > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1556246. It has full FP reader support, both security and navigation. (No webtop though).
After unlocking the bootloader (assuming you will be following these instructions > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261) You will need root again (instructions also in the previously linked thread), and then you will want to flash Romracers recovery through fastboot before flashing any ROM >
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
After this you will be able to get into recovery and flash whatever you want. There is an automated script here for unlocking the bootloader also located here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871.
Been a while since I did all this myself, but I think I covered everything!
Good luck.
***Ignore this post***
So I don't need to run any of those fastboot commands??
And should I update my phone to 2.3.4?
I just updated it to 1.8.3 by flashing the sbf so I've lost root and everything.
I ended up flashing using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138204
I used the sbf that was supposed to already have the bootloader unlocked and the do some things for root.
When I went to install romracers though I was getting the error (180002)
From what I have read that means the boot loader wasnt actually unlocked?
So I'm guess I should flash the regular 2.3.4sbf. Then manually unlocked the bootloader myself and then root?
Or could I still manage with whats currently installed some how?
Again thanks in advance for any advice.

If you flashed sbf with rsdlite and text unlocked is gone, thats mean that you have relocked BL.
You can unlock again by flashing via RSDLite this:

Already tried that, the roms cant be flashed
are you using the recovery you had before you unlocked or you installed a different one after you unlocked?
I used the same recovery but now, i dont know why, cwm recovery has been replaced by LG stock recovery...
you need to flash a new recovery.. the one installed before unlocking isnt official cwm.. check and make sure you still unlock..
and how can I flash a recovery? I cannot boot my phone, and cant use fastboot
you going to need fastboot to flash recovery if its still unlocked.. if its Locked now than you will had to flash stock kdz files onto the phone and re-unlock it..
but when i type "adb reboot bootloader" in order to be able to use fastboot my phone reboot and stay stuck at LG logo and my Bootloader is still unlocked
