So, I soft bricked my Rogers Motorola Razr when RSD Lite failed to flash a rom. I got into the "Flash Failure" screen. The phone wouldn't boot up as normal and after turning it off, it would turn right back onto that Flash Failure screen again. I was able to get out of this by pressing both volume keys and the power button simultaneously, where a menu would come up with a reboot option. I had to repeat the process again because it went back to the Fastboot screen.
Anyways, whenever I turn off the phone and turn it on again, I have to do the whole process again to boot normally. Is there any way to get back to the normal boot process again?
Also, could this be a method for soft bricked users to get out of the Fastboot screen? Some how I doubt it since it seems too simple. I probs just got lucky...
Thanks

Alright I need some help here. I borked my Photon this afternoon and have been trying to fix it since then by trying various things to no avail.
Now when I press the power button to turn it on I get "failed to boot 1".
When I press Vol up + power I get "Failed to boot 1 with PwrReason: RWR_KEY_PRESS Starting Fastboot protocal support".
When pressing Vol down + power I get something on the screen for a split second then nothing.
I am able to use fastboot, but can't find anything to flash without failing after sending it to the device. by rebooting in fastboot RSD will see the device. I try to flash any of the stock sbf, and they too all fail when "switching device to BP pass through mode". I am thinking that fastboot is my only way to save the device. but need the proper files and sequence to install and get rolling again.
Well the Sprint store replaced my Photon. They could not bring it back to life. Lol
On my Droid 3 i could just do a battery pull but i obviously cant do that with a Razr.
Since im stuck on the boot screen, how do i reset my phone to enter back into recovery?
FYI, I was attempting the Manual ICS install.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hold the power button and volume down button for 8 seconds. To get into Recovery, hold all three buttons on the phone. then follow instruction in the bootloader.
Thanks!!!
I tried flashing a stock Android 4.2 JB ROM that seems legit. After flashing, I rebooted my device and saw the standard Nexus boot animation. So far, I though all was well. It's not. My phone has been stuck in this constant booting state for hours. I pulled the battery after an appropriate amount of waiting and held down the power and volume down+up button. Instead of booting into Fastboot mode, it went straight to Odin Mode. All I can do with my device is boot to Odin Mode or watch the Nexus boot animation over and over again. Does anyone know the solution to my problem or some sort of utility that will help me? Thanks.
Ahh bootloops...Have you tried pressing volume down+up first, then power? Sometimes holding power, then pressing volume down first goes directly to odin mode, not recognizing the later push of volume up. I've never used odin mode..Can you boot straight to recovery, volume up+power? And do you have cwm? If you were not on stock before, then you need a factory reset before it'll boot, and perhaps even a cache wipe.
And i'd bet youd find more help if this was posted in the nexus q&a.
i recently tried to flash hatka battery life after reading a guide, saying it was okay to flash the rom first now i am stuck with my droid dna not being able to turn off and only restarting. can someone please help me i am able to get to lockscreen and settings but the screen is black and i get android htcdialer has stopped when it opens. whenever i try to adb it says error
If your phone is frozen on a particular screen, keep holding down the power button, you will see your bottom 3 icons flash repeatedly, Keep holding the power button until it powers off (restarts), the hold time varies-sometimes you need to repeat this process. Once off (actually restarting), hold the volume down key in and it will re boot into fastboot/recovery, you can scroll to recovery and then restore (hope you have a backup)
Today I was going to reboot my htc one m8. But something bad happened.Help! stuck with formatting/cache... when trying to reboot. And I have been stuck with this for like an hour...
Then it restarts and the text disappear. Only a picture of small phone with green circle is on my phone. I can press volume+ and power to turn it off or volume- and power to restart it, but the small phone comes back every time. I don't know what to do...
please help me out....T_T
Is the phone stock, or any mods (bootloader unlock, root, etc.)?
Green circle is stock recovery. You can press vol up+vol down and power to get recovery menu options, but not sure anything there will help you.
You can likely RUU to get back up and running. But personal data will be wiped.
