I did the manual update to ics with Matt's 1.7ut and I cannot get to recovery. Just goes to M logo and hangs.
Any ideas regarding this?

Had to root my phone to install ezboot which gets me into recovery.
No such luck with the stock three button initialize. Can select recovery but it just hangs at motorola sign.
Me too....aaarrrgg :-( what to do????

While you're at the M logo, hold power and volume down key as if to do a hard reboot. This somehow simulates a "battery pull". As soon as the M vanishes (the reboot starts) IMMEDIATELY press and hold the volume down, volume up and power buttons at the same time and hold them at least until the M comes up, possibly longer. This should at least get you back into the recovery mode. You need to basically be holding the power plus both volume buttons BEFORE the M comes back which is why I say start pressing them immediately after the "STUCK" M-logo disappears.
Wipe cache
I had an issue when the update wouldn't install from sd card. I suggest all that do this update wipe cache and restart

Ok I was kinda playing around with the recovery today. I did something wrong with the button sequence and my phone booted up into the Motorola recovery menu(with white text and everything).
The only problem is, I don't remember what I pressed? Can someone tell me how to enter the Motorola recovery?
Does installing the bootstrap recovery mess up the Motorola one?
Turn phone off, hold both volume keys & press power. Then scroll down to recovery, press volume up, hold both volume keys at the following splash screen, and bam.

Yeah man! I tried finding it on my own too! Came up with the same conclusion!
I messed up flashing a ROM, so it gets stuck on the M logo screen. When I tried to fastboot it, it says low battery. Am I out of luck? Been looking around and couldn't find anything that was helpful to my situation.
try leaving it pluged in with the original charger and cable for a while to see if battery status changes.

I've considered the Factory Cable method for a while, and thought it was too much of a hassle.
Try going into the motorola recovery (power+both volume buttons) and then do a full wipe.
Then Reboot and (if you installed it) you should boot back into CWM recovery.
From there do a backup restore. Reboot. The phone will still boot into Flashboot, but if you turn it off it should charge normally.
I had the same issue as you and somehow these steps allowed me to get the phone charged again.
I then used RSDlite and Fla**** to bring me back to the last OTA
Turn off the phone. Press power button and volume + and volume - the same time, hold 3 sec it will show up a menu.
Use volume - to navigate down to "recovery" then press volume + to choose.
When the phone shows android robot with a triangle, press volume + and volume - the same time.
You will enter recovery menu.

Yup, I've seen and done all of this. All I see is
Reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache partition
Should I put the fastboot file sd card and select the second option? I have yet to try that
My Phone is stuck in a bootloop after installing the artic rom...its still looping and won't turn of.
I installed the thing where after you install a rom you boot into recovery but the rom skipped it even tho i installed the zip after i flashed the rom aswell..
I managed to get into AP Fastboot flash mode but i don't know how to flash my phone back to stock...can someone please help??
You can turn off the phone by pressing simultaneously
power and volume down (-) buttons about 5 secs.
Then yuo can think about what i can to do next ;-)

My phone is in boot loop right now and when I hit power and vol down, my phone with continually vibrate for about 5 seconds and then the screen goes out... but then it just boots up again
You can try push volume down button (and keep it pressed down)
at the same moment that screen goes out, maybe you can reach
AP Fastboot-mode in this way?
Well I can get to the menu for AP Fastboot
But im at work.. i dont have the file or RSDLight here at work.
But I can get to the recovery and it gives me the option for "factory reset" or "apply update from SDcard".
If I have a backup from bootstrap, can I use that file under the "apply update from SDcard" option?
EDIT: No you cant apply from SD (a recovery)
I think that yuo can't use backup from bootstrap via Motorolas recovery...
Maybe only way is install correct OFFICIAL Motorola ROM via AP fastboot.

Here is also good RSD alternative for flashing:

you close but it goes against what he just said. Once ur device powers.of press the volume keys then hold the power button ...it'll put u in recovery. You then need to scroll down twice I think to fast boot and press the up key to select....
You can only go down in this recovery. When you press up it selects. You will then need to follow a.vid on YouTube called how to restore Droid RAZR

its not letting me to recovery. I keep holding the volume down and power button but nothing happen. When I turn on the phone Motorola logo and qual core technology come and after 1 min its say Failed to boot 4 starting RSD mode.
when you hold vol down and power the moto symbol should pop up first but if you keep holding it should say fast boot, then you use volume down to cycle to recovery. press volume up to enter recovery and when you see the triangle with the ! symbol press volume up and volume down at the same time to get to the screen with the options to wipe.

The phone is not coming to recovery. I kept pressing the volume down and power button for more than 30 sec the phone turn off. I think my bootloader is damaged. is there any other solution?
Hi all. I was running CM7 on my photon. I need to relock it so I can have Sprint fix a headphone jack issue. I followed all the instructions on relocking via FullSBF flash. Now my phone is on a constant boot loop. It goes to the motorola splash screen and circles are coming from the Big M and then it restarts. It keeps doing this. I tried pulling battery but it keeps happening. How can I fix this???
This is an example, that something is not good. So many threads, just because people don't know how to wipe data in stock recovery.
Start the phone while pressing volume down, when you see fastboot, keep pressing volume down, until you see Android recovery, press volume up, when you see exclamation mark, press both volume buttons. The rest is the same like in CWM recovery.

I did that before I started flashing but yea I did it again and its good now. I was about to edit my threat because its working now.
So true. So many pple run into the same issue and all it needs is a reboot.
In the thread where it says how to relock this should be included in big bold red letters
