I wanted to go back to stock I was running the AOKP rom and I forgot to do a factory reset before flassing SBF and now I'm stuck on a boot loop .
I tried reflashing again same results.
Is there a way to fix this or I'm SOL?
Thanks for your help!
when you power on, hold power and volume down until the menu comes up. Press volume down til you see android recovery, press volume up to select. When you see the Android and yellow triangle, press volume down and volume up at the same time to open stock recovery. Factory reset from there and you should be good to go.

I got to the android stock recovery but I forgot what to do when I get there lol.
I even unlocked the bootloader again just to be able to flash CW recovery again to be able to wipe.
I will see what happens now.
Thanks a lot for your help.
I will report back when I get done

**Updating Thanks again for your help. I have succesfully flashed back to stock
Awesome! Glad I helped.

Hi,
I am looking to Reset my phone to stock again. I am using the original stock rom, but I do have several mods including a root, lagfix, mobileap, etc..
How would I go about reseting it back to normal ( Original state of a new Vibrant ) without having to flash a new rom? Thanks.
Unroot your phone, undo lagfix, then either do a master reset, or use the hidden code to do a factory format.

Everything worked fine, only thing is, I cant get into recovery mode anymore? Whats up with that. It has always been easy to do. I am wondering if it is with the Stock Rom I flashed? Or is there another way to get to recovery without power+up+down buttons?
UPDATE: I am able to get into it by holding volume+ and volume -, then holding down power, and when the Vibrant screen shows up, only letting go of the power button.
I bought this phone a couple weeks ago, already rooted and on a stock rom , the radios and everything else is flashed for cricket.
My question is, how can I find out if I have an unlocked bootloader and a recovery installed?
May sound like a stupid question, but I'm still new for Motorola, so I'm not used to having a locked boot . My thinking is that it must be unlocked if the phone is fully flashed to cricket.
Turn the phone off and turn it back on. At the top it will say unlocked if it's unlocked. To find if it has a custom recovery turn the phone off and hold the volume down and power until you see fastboot. Then use the volume down button until you see android recovery then press volume up to enter recovery. If it goes to recovery you're good if not then it doesn't. But it will only have a custom recovery if it was unlocked before.

If you have CWM recovery you shouldn't have to hit up. You should be able to just hold power and volume down and it'll boot straight into recovery. :]
I want your phone

Ok, so I got my Electrify a few days ago, rooted it and everything went fine. Worked for about a day, but then the battery died. I charged it, but now it sticks on the Dual Core boot logo, wont boot at all. I'm terrified.
Can anyone help?
I've tried running Android Recovery (I get "Failed to boot 2")
I've tried messing around in FastBoot and with RDB, but I'm getting nowhere.
I'm desperate, and as the Electrify is new, I'm not having any luck finding in-depth help.
Anyone? You may email me if you'd rather communicate that way.

Should not be in dev section. Mod please move.

I would try this first, it couldn't hurt.
Perform a factory reset using external keys
Note: It is highly recommended you use the above factory reset using the settings. If you are unable to navigate through the menu to perform a factory data reset, you can follow the steps outlined below:
Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button, press power button
Screen will come up with "Fastboot", press Vol down key to cycle through choices until you get "Android Recovery", then press Vol up key
Wait for the "triangle ! / Android" screen then go on to step 4
Press both Vol up and Vol down key simultaneously. A menu will come up
Tap on Vol down key until "wipe data/factory reset" is highlighted, and tap Power key. Another Confirmation screen will come. Tap on Vol down key until coming to Yes and tap Power key
After userdata is cleared, the "reboot system now" option will be highlighted by Default. Tap Power key
Phone will reboot to initial setup screen.
Hope this helps.
If you didnt put the 2.3.5 update on the phone (and I am assuming you didnt), then grab the Electrify SBF here and follow the instructions.
If you DID put 2.3.5 on the phone I have the SBF for that also, PM me for the link..
be aware 2.3.5 will lock your bootloader and there is no way to unlock at this time.
Thanks everyone. Got it fixed.
How did you get it fixed. I have the same problem... "Failed to boot 2" in recovery? need help. Photon on 2.3.5.... 254_3

umm... there's no SBF available for 2.3.5 users and you CANNOT use the 2.3.4 SBFs. i assume you don't have an unlocked bootloader and upgraded to 2.3.5 using an unlocked method.
give this a try... http://www.motosunfire.com/system/
it worked for another guy. so it should for you given it's only your system that's messed up. also if this doesn't work do a factory reset from the recovery if you can get into it. then try again.
Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

Hi everyone,
I appreciate the help and I'll try to make this brief.
I had AOKP ICS on my SGS2, but then my power button broke. My phone is still under warranty so I wanted to take it to the ATT store to see if they will replace it, but before that I wanted to return everything to stock.
I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659. I used I777UCKH7-CL503881-No-BL.exe.
After flashing the stock firmware using that guide, my phone boots up to the ATT logo and then keeps rebooting.
I read somewhere that I should wipe data/factory reset to fix this, but I can't because in 3e recovery, you have to hit the power button to select something and my power button is broken.
Is there any way to fix this boot loop without having to click the power button at all? And making sure not to increase the flash counter which I've taken care to keep at 0?
Really, I just want to get my phone back to stock so I can get it fixed.
Thanks very much for the help!
I don't know any way around the broken power button with 3e recovery, but it has stock on it now, even though you can't boot to it, so I'd just take it in as-is.

I only followed methods that never increased the flash counter, so I've never needed to wipe it. I tried some funky things to do factory reset in 3e, like trying to send/emulate a "power" button click using adb while the phone was in 3e, but that didn't work.
I think I'll take your guys advice and just take it in as it is (unless you can think of something I can do to get it to boot into stock!) and if they ask why it is not booting I will tell them I tried to do a firmware restore in Kies and now it is not booting or maybe just play dumb and say it was working fine before
Hope this works... I still have a year before I'm eligible to upgrade and I don't want to go back to my old iPhone! Hehe
Went down to the ATT warranty center, they replaced it no questions asked.
Guess I was worried about nothing
Thanks
Hi Guys,
Last night for some reason my GT-19100T running CM9.1.0 wouldn't lock by pressing the power button, the button itself seems to be working. I can press the button down but nothing happens. I left it for the night and came into work this morning, I thought it might be a bug with the rom, i managed to boot into recovery via the "Rom Manager" app and was going to flash to CM10. My problem is now that i am in recovery, I can't select anything as the power button is not working. I can scroll through the recovery menu with the volume buttons but cant select anything, and now soon as the phone turns on after removing the battery, it goes straight to recovery mode and i cant get around it.
I have tried leaving the battery out for about 3 hours and same thing. I can boot into download mode, But at the moment that doesn't help me.
Any suggestions on what i can do? I'm not worried about warranty so i may pull the phone apart and clean it tonight. Thanks in advance.
Update:
After much playing around with the button i can get it work, it is very temperamental and requires to be pushed in the right way. Was able to flash with Touch recovery and am now updating to CM10 nightlies. Thanks all for your help on my first post.

Hi!
First, have you tried flashing a stock firmware? If that does not help, you can try cleaning your hardware.. it may be dusty or something.. be careful! I hope you get this sorted out.
Also, i hope my suggestion will help you out, cheers!!

Okay, Flashed back to stock ICS rom, Got a little bit further but still no go. It gets the "S" loading screen and stays there, Still cant do factory reset via Android Recovery as it also needs the power button to select. Someone suggested installing CWM touch recovery but i cant find a .tar version of "recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2" downloaded from CWM website. Any suggestions on how i can install this without using recovery? Thanks.

I guess you have to flash them with odin..
1. Flash a stock firmware to get you out of bootloop
2. Flash the latest siyah kernel cause it's a touch recovery via odin as well
Do you want me to post the links or will you find it yourself?
I hope this helps, cheers!
