Been booting into SDC Recovery to change ROMs successfully before, but recently after the data/factory reset, rom install (from zip), gapps install (from zip) and then to power off, I encounter this issue -- WHEN I SELECT POWER OFF, IT SAYS ROOT ACCESS is missing. ROTT DEVICE? AND GIVES ME AN OPTION of YES - ROOT DEVICE (/system/xbin/su).
Regardless of whether I select YES or NO, it immediately powers off. When powered back up, it says it is booting (INT BOOT) on the Cyanoboot screen, then the screen goes blank. It never gets to the blue Cyanogenmod screen now. I know its still running because I can see the very faint lit up screen before I am forced to do a press/hold power down.
I get the same reaction if I select Reboot instead of Pwer Off.

I can't post this in the development forum, so I am posting it here.
I followed these directions: http://briefmobile.com/atrix-4g-rom-installation-guide from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991595
Now my phone is in a restart loop. It will load the red Motorola logo, then the green Motorola label, gets into the "setup your phone" screens, then it waits approximately 60 seconds and restarts. I can't make it stop and I can't figure out how to access the CWM recovery from the powerbutton + volume button combinations to try and reflash.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
Make sure you're plugged in to use CWM
If you cant get into it, you should be able to get into RSD mode and flash a fresh 1.83 sbf
or get into standard recovery and wipe data/factory rest
Thanks for your input - it did help!
For anyone else that finds this thread, here is what I did to fix my phone (more or less):
Removed battery
Put battery back in
Held "volume down" button until "fast boot" appeared on the screen
scrolled (via volume down - NOT volume up) to "Android Recovery"
Pressed the Volume Up Button to "click" it
Waited for it to load and touched the bottom right hand corner of the screen (hidden button that toggles showing/hiding all of the menus)
Used that to clear cache and userdata
Restarted
Phone worked!
I couldn't get RSD mode to work, though, but this method did work.
I am running cyanmod 7 and it works ok.
I am trying to upgrade to flashback. I hit the power button and + volume at the sametime. I see text saying detect a recovery key was presses. Then it says booting a recovery image and the screen goes black. The grab is off.
I tried placing clockworksmod8 the internal and external sdcards and tried the power + volume and the screen goes black I had on the gtab and I don't know what happened to it).
I tried running nvflash but it tries to install and apx driver and goes into a found new hardware loop.
What do you suggest I try next?
Is there a Recovery option when shutting down from the menu?
I'm running Android 4.1.2 on my Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE, rooted.
I really didn't do much to the OS once it was rooted, but something caused my screen's resolution to drop from its' default to something slightly, but noticeably, lower. I didn't know how to fix it so i decided to do a factory reset since i hadn't done anything worth saving. Well, once it had been wiped, it wouldnt boot!
So here's what happens:
*Phone is in OFF state*
1. I push the power button once, nothing happens
2. I hold the power button for about 10 seconds, the first boot screen appears (the red, un-animated motorola logo) and then the screen goes black again
3. I hold the power button and volume up button until the android guy appears
4. I hold both volume buttons until the boot options menu appears
5. I clear the cache, and factory reset again
6. I reboot
Thats all that I know to do. Any ideas??

Hi guys,
I was following various guides on here to install the cyanogenmod 11.0 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-0-t2626639 and I have run into an issue.
I put the gapps zip and the ROM zip into the internal storage of the phone. I then typed "fastboot flash boot boot.img" into cmd and that went OK. When that was done, I did "fastboot reboot." The phone then showed the Sony logo screen (although it is different from the one I am used to seeing - it shows XPERIA STE at the bottom, but I assume this is normal?), then this screen turned off and on again repeatedly. I then mashed the volume up key and eventually it entered into the CWM recovery. I then selected to install the ROM zip, it did some loading and installing and stuff, as expected. The same Sony XPERIA STE screen came on again, and keeps turning on and off. This time however, I cannot get into CWM recovery mode.
If I hold the power button and volume up, it vibrates once, then the screen comes on and off again. If I hold the power button and volume up, wait for the single vibration and keep holding, it vibrates three times and is then completely off. If i plug it into the computer, the screen comes on and off. If I plug it into the computer and hold the volume up, it enters fastboot mode without trouble.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Press the power button repeatedly to enter TWRP recovery. Then, wipe everything except sd card/internal storage. Then, install the rom as usual.
Acquired a free Moto E 2015 2nd Edn. LTE Freedompop with TeamWin Recovery TWRP v2.8.7. reporting, " "No OS Installed!" A normal boot will produce a quick vibrate and then the blue earth/water M logo on a white screen with "Powered by Andorid" at the bottom, which fades to black about one minute in, and then this loops indefinitely. To get out of this loop, I hold Power down about 10 seconds, the screen goes black, I release Power, wait a half a second then press and hold Power and VOL-. This brings up "Start" and some data like "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)" and "Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3"
Pressing VOL- (or VOL+) cycles thru "Restart bootloader," "Recover mode," "Power off," "Factory," "Barcodes," "BP tools," "Qcom," "Bootloader logs".
It never had an SDcard, and when hooked up to a laptop, I get "Surnia" device, with the TWRP folder. I put ROM .zips here, but TWRP can not see this folder (I can't find it, anyways). So I put in an SDcard, copied files there, and when I try to install, TWRP fails for any ROM I've tried, such as CM 11, GApps, and XT1526_SURNIA_ACG_LTE_5.1_LPI23.29-20_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip.
Since I can't boot in to any OS, I can't set any settings beforehand.
Help? Ask me anything. Thanks!!

You shouldn't flash the Stock ROM zip in TWRP recovery. Follow this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...e-restore-moto-e-2015-stock-firmware-t3044936) and use the same Stock ROM zip to flash your phone back to stock. Once you are done with that, I can help you flash any Custom ROM you want.
