I got over confident and instead of reading I started to play with it on my own installing roms, and I manage to get into this situation:
If I press power + vol up + vol down I only see the motorola logo and then the phone shuts down.
Last thing I saw before this was a dead android with an exclamation mark saying that it can't mount recovery :S
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

I now noticed that adb detects the device but I can't push files, I can access sysrw but I can't su.

Last update, I was able to enter another recovery menu (adb reboot recovery)... I clicked on factory reset/clear all data... Now I can't even use adb, the phone boots and then shuts down itself.

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.
I got a tablet device (Omega OT107) I've rooted it using
Code:
ro.kernel.qemu
method.
Next I'm triying to flash Custom Recovery and my problems started here.
What I've tried:
1.
Code:
flash_image recovery
- no success process of flashing never ends
2. Install bootmenu to /data/bootmenu
3. Installed 2 different 2Init's
None of this worked or even had an impact on how device works (it always boots in android correctly).
I've tried to boot it to fastboot mode to flash recovery from there but there is a problem that I have.
Volume(up or down) + Power buttons starts device to Android not to bootloader (I've read you need to remove and reinsert battery to make it work, but device has a build in batery and needs to be taken apart to remove it so I did not tryed it)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
- boots to what I think is a bootloader (screen is black(no light is comming out of it)) when connected to Windows PC it is seen as Android Bootloader Interface (Android-SDK driver).
Code:
fastboot devices
does not discover any devices, clicking volume or power button does nothing.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
- boots devices it what seems to be useless recovery mode. At start there is a standing android dude with fireball on his chest, and imidietly changes to a lying position with his chest oppened and an exclamation mark comming out of it (I've red it is ok and I need to press Volume(down/up) + Power buttons to open recovery menu but it does not happen).
My question is:
Is it normal to some devices bootloader to look like mine? How to make it discoverable to fastboot?
I had this issue and I fixed with "press all the buttons!" and suddenly I sow recovery menu...to factory reset. if it doesn't work repeat with rebooting with pin
Does someone knows a way how to hard reset this thing?? ^^
about firmware
Any idea where find the firmware for this tablet?
Mine is now freeze on recovery logo
hard reset OT107
1.Turn off our tablet.
2 We press the MENU button at the same time + POWER HOUSE click and hold
3.Wait until the Android image.
4.Then VOL + button and the POWER and appears to us to Recovery Mode
5.Navigation is Vol-i + and confirmed by pressing POWER.

Hi,
I changed value in build.prop about wifi to keep it on all of the time and I changed also permission to edit it. I forgot to restore default file permission. Now tablet won't boot*. Its stuck on black screen after Sony logo.I can't enter to Recovery Mode holding PWR+ Vol UP. Tablet was rooted. Any idea how to fix it? Just stupid permission in build.prop....ech
Tablet is visible in PC in device manager but there is a problem with drivers. Strange because previously everyrhing was fine. Tablet is visible as universal MPT with yellow exclamation. Update driver won' work.
I see nobody can handle the problem
Sony firmware is really s****y. I used Samsung devices 3 years and never had problem like this.I regret that I bought SONY tablet
Did you try to recover it with tablet s flasher? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050126 and to enter the recovery try Powr + Vol up + Vol down.
I tried pwr +vol up. Should I press vol up + vol down in the same time?? Condi fladsher doesnt recognize the tablet.

First of all DO NOT FACTORY RESET.
Do you have rescue-backdoor?
Do you have root?
Do you have adb shell access while it is on the 'grey screen'?
If you answer yes then maybe I can help....
BTW I assume you did not set the permissions correctly for build.prop (chmod 644 /system/build.prop)? Or it is not named correctly? This would cause the non boot. If you have NOT FACTORY RESET then you can use 'ls -l /system' to check if you have 'build.prop' and that will tell you if the permissions are correct. rw-r--r--
Let us know

I returned XTS to get refund. Since few days I'm happy owner of Nexus 10 THX anyway for help

By the way our tablet and its accesories has Been discontinued..
I have the money now to buy the new xperia tablet z.. I'm kidding i am going with the new nexus 7
My Casio GZOne Commando will not load past boot or open boot menu at all. I have tried waiting until the phone says " Now Loading " to do the button combination " Hold the: Power Button, Volume Up Button, and Press the Menu Icon ". I cannot get the boot menu to come up so I can't factory restore it. I have downloaded the SDK tried to run ADB Reboot Recovery in the CMD prompt after installing all of the files I needed to. I cannot get my computer (Windows 10) to offically recognize my phone. By that I mean I plug it into the computer and it makes a sound indicating that it detects a device being plugged in but when I check my computer it does not show up and the Reboot Recovery cannot detect any devices either. I am stuck and don't know what to do. I am pretty sure my device is rooted but am not 100% sure.I think it might be bricked. I'm not extremely informed on how that works but since I can't even run reboot recovery with the button combination or computer that seems to be the case. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I accidently flashed the lineage 16 recovery instead of lineage 17.1 recovery. I tried to install the 17.1 update through updater but my phone stuck into recovery mode. Neither I can boot into bootloader nor to android. I can''t flash anything. Power + volume down and connect the cable also not working to go into bootloader. Even bootloader option within the recovery also brings me back to recovery mode. ...adb devices command is also showing "device offline". Any help will be appreciated.
you should start from the beginning
is your bootloader still unlocked?

I can't go into fastboot mode. Is there any other way to check it?
Thank you @stukka2006 for replying me. I guess I saved my phone. So here what I did-
1. Extracted the stock firmware (Luckily I had one but can be found in the forum) and copied the dload folder to sdcard (as I was not able to access internal storage). (@stukka2006 your hint to start from the beginning)
2. Power off the phone and pressed Both volume buttons + power button simultaneously. After the vibration I left the power button while still holding both vol buttons till software update screen appears. But software update failed. So I just touched the reboot now option. The phone rebooted to fastboot mode.
3. I installed TWRP but was not able to reboot to recovery through commands and system reboot command brings me back to fastboot mode. So I again power off the device with cable connected and pressed both vol buttons. This time phone showed recovery screen (Should have worked with normal button shortcuts also, I guess) and I flashed the rom and rebooted normally.
Everything is working fine now except that I lost the data.
Happy you got all clear my friend !!!
