First off beware of ADW launcher on this phone when I restarted it forced closes and won't let me get into the phone. Now how do I factory restore when I can't get into settings? Ok Now I have gotten into fast boot screen by holding down the down volum arrow and pawer but then it says device locked and plug in USB cable.
So no mene screen appears as I read is supposed to.
Vol up and down plus power. Use vol down to get to recovery then select with vol up. Then press vol up and down to bring up menu. Just a guess. Its how the bionic is

hold down volume + power when the phone is totally shut down
There are a couple ways:
1) Uncheck fastboot in menu>settings>power. Then turn phone off. Hold vol down and power up.
2.) Restart the phone. Once the LEDs go out when phone shuts down, hold vol down.

while flashing the phone crashed and turned off and wasnt possible to be turned on again. connecting to USB only turns the LED solid green while plugging directly into the wall will turn onto the motorola screen with boot failed 1. any help would be nice. thanks!
Can you get into recovery by holding Vol Down and hitting power and then pressing Vol Up to cycle to "Recovery"?
negative. phone will not respond at all. when not plugged into the wall outlet, it will not even turn on the display

Have you taken out the battery for a bit and then put it back it to see if that works or tried a different Atrix battery?

i was able to force boot into fastboot by powering up and vol up but not recovery. the battery was died even after a whole day of plugging into the wall charger. while trying to follow some recoveries while in fastboot, i hit the wall with error 0x180004
Two things to consider
If you're able to get into fastboot, are you not able to press "Vol Down" again to cycle the different boot modes and to get into RSD?
And, if you can still get into fastboot, what recoveries have you tried? There's at least 3 different ones available.
i am only able to get to fastboot via power button and vol up. power button and vol down will just flash the screen then goes blank.

What he mean is after you press vol up + power button and the phone display unlocked with fastboot menu, cycle with vol down to see the other menu.

Volume up and power button goes straight to fastboot. Volume down and power button goes to fastboot as 1st option, and from there you can use volume down to cycle through options and volume up to select.
fixed the problem by fastboot-w then force fastboot via power button + vol up and RSD lite 4.5.141
ok so I'm new to this forum, was suggested to go here when i got my first smartphone.
So basically my idiot friends were messing with my phone with the pattern lock. They messed it up 15 times and now I have to sign in with my gmail. But the problem is that whenever I try to sign in, it gives me invalid username/password. I know I'm putting in the right password and right username because I've done it about a million times on my computer and tried to unlock my phone about the same amount of times. I've also tried all my other gmails that my phone is registered with but none work.
I'm still on stock ICS because im new to the android world and haven't gotten around to figuring out everything. Thanks for helping!
Okay first did you possibly have your Android debugging on? If not the only way us a factory reset. You can reset it by turning it off, hold down power and volume down. While holding volume down let go of the power. Then using your volume keys select factory reset and select with the power button.

Okay so first press down the Vol. Down button. Next press the power button firmly for 3 seconds. DO NOT let go of the Volume down button till a white screen (Your bootloader) appears. Then use the volume buttons to select factory reset (If it's not there look for bootloader or somthing like that) press the power button to select.
Volia your phone is now factory reset!

I have been able to do hard resets on droids before. This droid HTC DNA I cannot get it to HARD reset at all. Ive read a few sites, even information on HTC's website, youtube videos.
holding vol down and power does nothing but boot the phone normally and then prompts for a (forgotten') pin lock screen
Does anyone know the for sure how to do a hard reset on DROID DNA? the factory reset menu never comes on. the vol up and down keys work fine.
Hold down power. The buttons should blink. This will hard reboot the device. Once it shuts off, hold down volume also. This should send you to the hboot screen where factory reset option is available.
Be sure not to hold down volume - until the phone hard reboots.

I hold down power it gives me the 3 seconds countdown until restart, screen goes black after 3 seconds but its still booted never restarted. (im guessing this phone has fastboot enabled and I cannot disable it because pin lock is on)
Odd, I have fast boot enabled on Viper and did what I mentioned with no issues.
Edit: are you still holding power down after screen shuts off and then pressing vol down also?

Can you do adb reboot bootloader?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
just press and hold volume down and power for ten seconds or until it boots into hboot and if you are going straight to fastboot unplug from a usb cable and select bootloader
I press volume down and I hold power to enter bootloader but it will not take there. The device start normally

I think you only need to hold volume down. Works for me...

This. Just hold volume down while it is booting.
Got to settings> power > unclick fastboot
Then do power and volume down from a completely off state. Or plug into pc with adb set up and run adb reboot

Since you are locked out try holding volume up and power for ten seconds after the bottom keys start blinking. When you see the phone power off (it is actually rebooting) start holding the volume down button.
It may take a time or two but you will get it.
