Motorola Atrix 4g, BootLoader unlocked, and Recovery CMV installed, but i decide to keep in stock rom.
Don't know if it a BootLoader or Recovery cause the problem. This phone brought from used and it working for first 2days. I am not sure is it the BootLoader or Recovery CMV cause this problem. Screen can't back on after idle for 2-3min. After 2-3 idle, i press the power button to wakeup the screen, the screen can't light up. If i press more then 4-5 time on power button, it'll boot up in Bootloader and phone reboot again. Sometime i have to do a battery pull to rest the phone.
Question, it's nornal after bootloader unlocked or phone setting wrong?
Any comment or suggestions will be welcome.. thanks

As you say the phone was working for a few days, did you do anything prior to this problem (new app,rom ect). Are your settings correct (sleep,power button ect).
Stop pressing the power button - you're not doing your device any good.
If this were me, I would do the following steps >>>pull battery>prior to putting it back hold the volume down button> put battery back in (if phone doesn't power up, press power key, still holding volume down button)>you should now be in recovery>select 'wipe dalvik cache'>after wiping, reboot system.
If this fails to help, I would recommend repeating steps to get into recovery and do a factory reset of your phone.
Good Luck

So, my Maxx suffered a power button failure and I should be receiving my warranty replacement from VZW sometime in the next day or two. Other than the power button not working, the phone is functioning fine. It reboots, runs normally, functions perfectly. I'm running .215 rooted and I want to return the phone back to stock before shipping it back. Problem is I can't access Boot Loader, no matter what I try. It's like it's not there anymore and when I command the phone into it using quick boot, adb, or the built-in menu, the phone just power cycles off. Let me try to explain:
I have Quick Boot installed and I can use it to boot into recovery without a problem. If I try to boot into Boot Loader, the phones powers off and stays off.
I've tried adb shell with the same results. I can connect to my PC and command the phone using shell commands but usin the 'adb reboot bootloader' command results in the same thing: phone power cycles off and stays off.
Even though my power button is AFU, I figured out I can still access the main recovery menu (the vol down to choose, vol up to select one) by holding down the vol up/down and plugging the phone into a charger. Same thing: power cycles off and stays off.
* Funny thing is although my power button doesn't work, I can still soft reset the phone by holding the power button in and vol down - which is what I need to do to exit recovery or other menus I need to input to a prompt using the power button.
Anyone know of this happening? MY guess is since my phone starts and functions normally otherwise, the boot loader is still there in some form. I just don't know how to access it. Any help would be much appreciated.
I can confirm this app will reboot bootloader

Thanks Dave but not for me. Same result: phone power cycles off and just stays off when selecting reboot bootloader.

If there is no bootloader you won't be able to start your phone at all as its THAT what basically boots the whole hardware and software....
How about adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot recovery commands ?

The bootloader being the phone's "bios" is kind of how I understood it so I'm figuring it's still gotta be there. I just can't seem to access it or get to the "device/battery OK, device disconnceted" menu. I tried adb reboot bootloader and got the same results: power cycle to off and stays off. adb reboot recovery works fine.
Knowing this phone is going to be turned back in, is there any other way I could re-install .211 without having access to the bootloader screen?

Try the eternity project flasher or the motorola's rds lite if they will be able to put the phone to the flash mode as they do that automatically...

I posted a thread over at DroidRAZR.com and got some good feedback and troubleshooting help. It looks like the bottom line is the power button failed in the 'on' postion. One of the folks that replied to the DR thread caused his device to show the same 'AP Fastboot power-off' that I was getting by entering the 'Boot Mode Selection Menu' and holding the power button down while he vol+ to select AP Fastboot. It caused me to look a little closer at what the device was doing and that seems to be exactly what's going on - I powered th phone down using the Quick Boot app and was able to soft reset by holding down the vol- key by itself (didn't need to press power in conjunction). After it SR and i released the vol- key, the device rebooted by itself.
For your info, that thread is here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/3782-cant-access-boot-loader-menu-no-matter-what/
I tried working a thin piece of paper in around the button but no luck there.
Hi. I did http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586570 this to my phone and since then every time I turn it on the black screen with AP Fastboot flash failure appears and not the Motorola logo. Not that I turn off my phone that often, but it's frustrating. I have to pres Vol Up/Down + Power button and choose Normal boot everytime I want to turn on the phone. Please explain me how to unroot or I don't know, I have the phone for 5 days now. I want it to look like I've just opened the box
P.S. Already tried Factory reset, doesn't help, still the black screen when I press the power button to turn on.
P.S.2 My system version is 651.167.3370.XT910.AmericaMovil.en.01 if it matters.
Really? The link I posted is from this forum. Come on. I should be able to undo this flash I've made and really return to fabric settings.
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.
Simply, I flashed the xposed framework for my device (which I know works as I have done so before.) However, I may have pressed the wrong power off selection in the TWRP menu. Now, my phone boots however, at the point the lockscreen etc. should show, I jus get a black screen.
As far as I'm aware, all I need to do is power off the phone and power it back on again. However, the phone has a unremoveable battery. I do NOT want to reboot the phone (that is holding the power button / power button and volume as neither of these have an effect other than a reboot into the same problem.)
Thank you to any help!
Hey everyone (Again),
So i managed to unlock the bootloader and everything went smoothly but I flashed my recovery i can't get into it now it comes up with an error message everytime i try to get into recovery it says ' Your software cannot be checked for corruption' any way to get rid of this or do i have to re- lock the bootloader just to fix it and get recovery working.
Thanks again.
Anyone?

That's not an error message, that's the message you'll see every bit if you unlock the bootloader. Do NOT relock your bootloader after installing custom recovery. Also to get into recovery (provided you installed it correctly and it wasn't erased after it booted info Android) is to turn your phone off (or pull battery) and then hold volume down & power button, one you see the LG logo let go of the power button only (still hold volume down) for about 1 second and then press the power button again and hope (never let go of volume down). It will ask you if you want to reset your phone, select yes two times and you will enter TWRP. If it actually resets your phone, TWRP isn't installed. Usually after installing TWRP you need to pull battery then use above method to boot into recovery, mount system partition and use TWRP file manner to delete come named "recovery from boot.p". You can also go ahead and install SuperSU or magisk (use magisk if you need to be able to pass safety net). Hopefully this helps you, also next time please include what model phone you have and what steps exactly you did as it's easier for others to attempt to help you.
Mines a H850 running nougat as well but thats the only thing it wont boot to recovery because when i hold down the volume down button and the power button the lg logo shows up but then after 4 seconds that google message will pop up and that gets in the way of doing the method to get onto recovery thats my problem

You have to follow exactly what I posted earlier. If you do that, it will show the factory reset screen which is you have TWRP installed, it will not into TWRP.
1) Power off phone
2) Press and hold volume down (do not let go until you see factory reset screen)
3) Press and hold power button, when you see LG logo, let go of power button for 1 second and then press and hold again.
If you do not follow step 3, you'll never be able to boot to recovery using button combo, it will just go to that message and then boot into Android.

Thanks for that! I got it working cheers
I'm actually having a similar issue too.
To clarify, I'm using a LG G5 (h830 variant) that is running resurrection remix.
I remember getting into recovery just to flash the updated modem and bootloader zips so I can fix the issue with powering off the device.
Now I noticed after doing that, I cannot get into recovery either with rebooting or with the button combo.
Thankfully I am rooted with magisk and this is probably the first time that I encountered this issue.
I don't want to further risk anything (because my phone is set up and don't want to lose any data) but would flashing twrp through the official app work just fine?

I know this is old,Just wanted to say thank it worked for me...
Been a while since I used LG and never with official bootloader unlock so I was thrown off by resetting to recovery as at first i never had the lg screen just the bootloader warning start
For those T-Mo G5 (H830) with unlocked bootloader, you will not see any LG logo. Once you see the lcd backlight comes on, immediately release the power button and press it again, all the while holding down the vol down button.
When you see the bootloader unlocked phone is unsafe msg by LG on the screen, it will already be too late and past the stage where you can boot to recovery. Simply power down and redo in that case.
(Needed to do the above as the latest Magisk 20.0 broke root and adb on H830, thus there was no way to get into recovery other than using the physical buttons. The Magisk Canary version of 20.1 works though.)
