Hey, this is my first post so be easy!
I rooted my One X a while back and it has been fine and only now I decided to install a ROM.
I went for Cyanogenmod 9 and followed the instructions to install it on my phone.
IT went smoothly and runs okay as far as I can tell apart from Recovery Mode.
Everytime I go to boot into recovery it just starts the phone as usual. It doesn't get stuck on the boot screen or anything, it starts just like normal but it doesn't start in recovery!
I have tried doing to through the Power + Volume Down method and through CLockworkMod app, no luck.
I have also tried to reflash Recovry but it still doesn't start.
This is frustrating as I can't even restore my phone to an earlier backup due to this.
Any ideas??
Cheers!
Try using ADB. The code is
su
reboot recovery

Sorry for my complete 'noobness' but whats that adb?
Cheers
ADB is short of android debug bridge. It comes with the android sdk.You can google it. Once ypu install the sdk you can google how to set up and use adb.Also don't forget to put ypur phone in debugging mod via Settings> Application>Developmemt

I have tried that, using adb reboot reovery, and it will doesn't load. Just boots the phone like normal. :/
Any other ideas?
Whats about refalshing a stock rom via odin
Go to the download mode and flash the stock because it includes stock recovery
if your are on this point youre full resored and could go on flashing roms ==)
Riiiight I've managed to get into recovery (by clicking factory reset in bootloader) and Ive restored a backup which I did before installing the ROM.
But now It's bootlooping!
I think I need a new boot.img.
Help..again? haha

Thanks for your reply. Ok i was rooting two phones one with succes and the other Iam stuck in a bootloop. I used Z4root 1.30 to root . Installed rom manager etc. Made a copy of the system. But the second phone cant restore my nandroid it says its there and does the whole process, But when i turn on the phone it doesnt present the factory bootloop its just get stuck with the rom it flashed. The phone thats working I flashed the axura rom the other was simply amazing 2.5 that got stuck. I can access the clock -recovery menu I have tried to install the rom and restore my nandroid, but none work. What can I do thanks?
Ps Is there a way that i can access the internal phone memory to put a new rom to flash to?

odin back to stock re root and flash again. Have you tried using the toolbox?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
So you CAN enter Recovery Mode? If Yes, you can try to flash another rom, or factory reset it, which usually works. If that doesn't work theres 1 more thing to try and this will work.
Download mode.
Odin.
Stock JFD
Off you go to flashing 600 more roms daily

Hi, I was rooted and tried to add some ringtones to my system/media folder. Instead of saving it to my SD card and then using a file explorer to move the files like I usually do, I tried to use droid explorer and do it from my PC. Now my phone won't get past the motorola logo when I start the phone. I'm not really sure what to do, can someone help me?

I doubt that adding some ringtones to your /system/media folder from your PC would result in a non-boot condition. Sounds like you may have messed up some system files when you were doing what you were doing. Are you sure you did not inadvertently move/delete/alter any other files?
Do you have an unlocked bootloader?
I figured that was what I did... I dont have an unlocked bootloader. Should I?
I'm going to assume that my phone is bricked...
Will this work?

Its too early assume your bricked...I don't think your bricked. Have you tried to access your recovery? You can try a factory reset from there.

turn on your smartphone, and when apear logo press volume up, go into recovery CWM and make a factory reset, or ... get one rom and put in your sd card and make a factory reset and wipe cash, dalvik and flash new rom, and try to boot ....
stuck at boot screen

I have a similar problem and I know I am not bricked but can't currently get out of my jam. This is the process I used so far:
I unlocked bootloaders and rooted with an automatic script program
I installed superuser and CWM from the market
I placed the cm-7.2.0-olympus and gapps .zip files in my root of internal sd
I wiped with moto-fastboot followed by wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and Dalvik
Then I installed the CM7.2 and Gapps zip files from the sd - and now I'm stuck at the M boot screen with Unlocked at the top.
I can boot into recovery and at the top of the recovery screen it reads Atrix 4G Recovery v4.0.0.2 goapk.com so I am thinking that the script I used initially installed a different recovery program and I am not actually using CWM. Also when I get into fastboot mode it says my battery is too low to flash and I don't have an indication that the battery is accepting a charge when it is plugged in...
I can get into recovery but even if I wipe and reinstall the zip I can't get past the boot loop - any suggestions?

I think that tenfar recovery that you flashed through automatic script. You can just get rom racer recovery flash it through fast boot or Just download this recovery and flash it like any ROM and reboot.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659890

Try to flash your phone with your stock firmware using rsd lite
here a list of firmwares ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1125944
WARNING! : flash it with YOUR stock sbf !!!
OR
Flash the latest sbf for your phone. I've done several with no problems. Yes, you do lose the unlocked bootloader though.
This will return you to stock. I used the same files.
You can avoid bricking your device by not flashing any over-the-air updates to Android 2.3.4. Instead, try flashing the 2.3.4 zip over here. Or, flash the pure stock images from here.
Worked!

Not sure why the other recovery wasn't working but your solution worked swell! Thank you for the assistance. I think it is communities like this online that make Android superior to other mobile OS platforms. It is a highly customizable experience but without these forums I'd be lost.
Many thanks,
Ok there, guys.
Before I start, yes I'm an idiot, yes I'm a huge noob, no I don't know what I'm doing.
Basically, I have a SGS2 and I was trying to install Cyanogenmod 10.1.
I used Heimdall to (flash?) install ClockworkMod Recovery and it worked.
I realised that I hadn't put the Cyanogenmod .zip on my phone before I installed CWM.
I got up to rebooting my phone so I could transfer the zip but after the Galaxy splash screen nothing happened.
The screen just stays black and doesn't do anything.
I can access Download and Recovery mode so that's good.
I only have access to a Mac at the moment so I have to use the Heimdall command line.
If anybody could help it would be great, thanks!

Put your forgotten .zip on an sd card put it in your phone. Boot to recovery and install. Then do full wipe and you should be good to go.

How can I access my phone's storage through recovery/download mode?
Thanks for the reply, by the way.
Edit: Oops, sorry. Didn't read your reply correctly. Unfortunately I don't have a SD card. Is there a way I can restore my phone COMPLETELY to stock?

Flash a stock rom and start from scratch. Get stock rom file from xda or sammobile (NOT A 4.0.4 ics rom tho.) flash via odin/Heimdall in download mode. it will boot up when done turn it off and reboot to recovery and do full wipe. redo your flash with missing .zip.
good luck

I flashed a 4.1.2 stock rom onto my phone but it still doesn't work.
I flashed the phone, it automatically rebooted, when the Samsung logo came up I took out the battery, went to recovery mode, wiped cache and full wipe, hit reboot and now it just stays on the Samsung logo, pulsing blue and what not.
I also did the same thing and instead of taking out the battery I just left it in there after the first reboot and the same thing happened.
How can I fix this?
Hum....I9100?
flash lsj (only phone, code abd csc).

I guess I am confused on where you are at with this then. Typically when someone says they have a nandroid, they completed a full back up via their custom recovery. First thing to try when this happens is to restore the nandroid backup via the same recovery. Are you not able to boot into CWM anymore as well?

K, well if it does boot up into the OS, then you should be able to use the command: adb reboot recovery - and see if that will kick you back into it to restore.
If that doesn't work, then you'll have to do a full restore probably.

This is a soft boot due to the fact you still have the ability to access recovery and such what i would suggest you do is get factory files and restore phone back to stock and start over this should fix your problem. If you look around XDA you will find the files you will need ODIN being the main tool you will use to flash your phone.

You have flashed a stock firmware with stock bootloader etc. using odin and still stuck in a soft brick ? remember to wipe the phone a rule of thumb i use is to wipe the phone 3 times before i flash and 3 times after i flash. during the first boot up it may take a little time to boot as it must rebuild the cache. I dont think it is a motherboard issue i think you may have just flashed a wrong file that needs to be wiped out before continuing on. i have had this problem in the past with a galaxy s2 when i was developing custom roms for it. it took me a couple of wipes and factory firmware reflashes but i eventually got the phone back in working order. look here for the factory files you will need to re flash your phone with odin ----> https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G925I/ also make sure you are using the latest version of ODIN you will to put your phone in download mode instead of recovery
Hi, could you fix it ?? I am facing the same issue.
