Guys, I just finished rooting my Razr, then installed custom recovery. Went to install a rom but forgot to copy it over. rebooted phone and am stuck on the darn Encryption Unsuccessful page. I have clicked reset phone, the process goes thru and phone reboots like normal but comes right back to this screen.
There is not alot of info about thisa on the net. Can anyone please herp me please

Fixed it. I leasned about fast boot, i was then able to use DROID_RAZR_Utility_Jellybean_XT912_WinMacLin.zip and make the phone brand new again. Thanks anyway. i found all my info in these very forums

OK. I have had my Atrix 4G since it first came out. I rooted it and installed apps and made customizations to it, etc.
I never installed a custom ROM since the tweaks I made fit my taste enough to not need to install a custom ROM. I have thought of it...but that is for another time.
Anyways, I recently changed fonts on using FontChanger and everything was working fine. However, last night I decided to change to another font and after rebooting my phone, I am now stuck in the ever so pleasant "Boot Loop".
I have tried wiping and restoring back to factory defaults, which appeared to work, but once I start going thru the process of setting up the phone and getting to the "home" page, the phone will suddenly automatically reboot and start to loop again. I can perform a reset which allows me to go thru the setup process again, but it suddenly reboots again after a few minutes.
I am guessing that perhaps the font is still causing problems, but I am not sure how to check to see if that is the case or not.
I have looked at other boot loop threads but I keep getting a bit confused as to what I should attempt or not attempt to do. It seemed to me that loading the 1.2.6 SBF might be my answer, but I have read that I could brick my phone doing that. Not to mention that some of the download links are dead....
Sorry for being yet another numbnutz and the long thread, but I would greatly appreciate some guidance on how to recover!
Thanks!
Ok... So after resetting my phone a few times I noticed that it goes into the boot loop cycle once the screen shuts off/or goes into sleep mode. If I keep the system from going to sleep everything appears to work fine.
My guess is still a font issue, but I thought a factory reset would've replaced the font back to default.
Anyone experience this issue or something similar to it?
And as a second thought can someone link me to the default fonts that I can try to reload?
UPDATE: well it looks like i am good to go again. It just occured to me that I can just download and use FontChanger to replace the bad font with the stock font. i let me phone go to standby mode and it didnt boot loop.
MODERATOR - Please feel free to close this thread as I believe I solved my own problem.
Hello.
I have been reading around on the forums and havent been able to find a suitable fix for my phone.
First of all- Im not a huge fan of updating apps and such due to not having the best success with compatibility after the updates. Also I am NOT a developer or anything, have never rooted my phone or flashed ROMs because I never really understood it and didnt want to brick my phone. That being said im not a idiot when it comes to technology either. I know how to use linux a decent amount tho i dont because I own a mac and havnt had a "x86" computer for sometime
Back in December I was having problems with my phone so I took it to Sprint and got a replacement. I dont usually use my phone for internet while im at home (because I use my computer) and overlooked the setting that updates apps over wifi.
So fast forward a few months- I went to Europe for the first time this winter for a ski vacation and when i connected to wifi over there, my phone just started updating everything and started making my phone act wierd. It would freeze up for a while after boot after entering my password and it would take 15-30 minutes to unfreeze. I got used to it working like that. Besides i was only using my phone for basic internet stuff and taking pictures. I wasnt making any phone calls or anything. The day before i came home I tried to connect to a wifi network and in the network settings under wifi it said "error" and then immediately shut off and rebooted. That was the last time my phone was usable. From then on it is just stuck in a continuous boot loop. I have to remove the battery to stop it. When it tries to boot it goes through the animation process to the "now" part of the "welcome to the now network" animation during boot. I have messed around with the safe mode and other boot options in the boot menu but nothing seems to work.
I DONT WANT to hard reset my phone yet because ALL MY PICs are on the Internal memory of the phone from my trip. I know now that this was a stupid idea to have them on the internal memory. My SD card was getting full and had like 7 gigs internally so i saved all my pic there. My phone was also encrypted with the pattern password (yes i enabled it).
Is there any way to get my pictures off the phone? I dont know what build version, kernel etc... or any of the other technical information is.... Please help!!!! thank you :crying:

Ok guys so, I had installed badadroid but after reading around the internet about how certain ROM was faster I decided I would try it, I flashed the uninstall zip in the badadroid thread and followed the instructions on the blog of that certain developer HOWEVER at one point I'm asked to flash a new FOTA and bootfiles with multiloader, I did that but at some point I messed up, now my phone boots up to this screen and sometimes to the recovery provided by the other ROM, following the steps to install that ROM and rebooting doesn't help at all and I keep getting stuck in this screen, my phone shuts down automatically a few seconds later and multiloader doesn't recognize it.
I still have hope because, when plugged in, it boots past this screen and into said recovery, however it seems like Bada was wiped during this process and I can't find a way to go back now (I only found out this happened right after I had already done this)
Is there any way to force it into download mode? I need my phone
Thanks
EDIT: Managed to get into download, will see what I can do, I guess I can work things out now, you can close the thread
Also, sorry for the bad image quality, I took that with my laptop's camera

In any case, don't worry, you can't break wave so easilly.
This Fota have default boot to android and not bada, and if you installed Nand bada is indeed dead.
But you still can flash full bada with Multiloader and you still can install Android with this fota/bootfiles, just make sure to follow installation procedure of your rom (by the way, this fota is compatible with ALL roms)
I have been reading everything I can find and tried to figure it out myself but the more I read the more questions I have and the less sure I am about trying any of the things I have read.
My problem is with an lg tribute from the company called Textnow. My friend ordered the phone from them and was having some issue she decided to try to fix by doing a factory reset which caused it to be stuck on the Lg boot logo. I tried booting to recovery to fix it. The recovery was TWRP. I was under the impression that Twrp was a custom recovery program that was installed after unlocking boot loader. Best I can tell is the phone was already rooted by the company. Does this sound right?
I messed with it for while but couldn't get anywhere with it because I haven't any knowledge of rooting except what I read . I noticed it kept saying something about simulating actions and figured that out but now after trying to back up and restore and poking around that it says there is no os , I was hoping someone could help me figure out where to go from here as it isn't my phone and I would hate to damage it although my friend keeps telling me to just try whatever no big loss because she can't use it like it is so.
I am not sure what the phone had for firmware because I cant get it on. I only know that it had twrp 2.8.5.0 as recover not the usual android. I can access the phone internal and external through twrp and though pc and adb. I made sure to get drivers updated. I tried to flash the stock rom from its forum but it failed,. any info would be mush appreciated
Okay so my phone randomly rebooted 2 days ago and when it got to the LG logo screen it froze. I tried to hard reset it, i went in to the hard reset menu clicked yes once then confirmed the hard reset by selecting yes a second time and the phone froze on highlighted yes. I have pulled the battery and tried to do this multiple times to no avail. So next i went to my PC and started google searches. Often i found things such as being stuck in boot loop which my phone wasn't, it was just frozen at the LG logo screen. Regardless I like to think of myself as self educated tech savvy (which now from reading all of your posts im not, im not even a little bit, in fact im tech stupid.) I did follow post through to the LGUP tool and downloaded a stock KDZ and got my phone into download mode>firmware update screen, i was able to get al the correct drivers and get LGUP to recognize the device and i loaded the stock KDZ and tried to do a Complete wipe reinstall. The program as able to interact with my device and went through the process, i thought i had fixed my phone. After a fresh install(or what i thought was a fresh install) i rebooted after the update and went to the LG logo screen and froze. The only difference is now when my phone starts, right before the LG logo appears i get the green android robot with what looks like open working "guts" real quick before it goes to the Logo and freezes. So back to the drawing board and i wanted to attempt some of the things ive seen like TWRP recovery etc but here i am getting lost. Forgive me if im posting things that have been answered but i keep getting confused. I dont know what the difference is between fastboot boot loader recovery mode or any of that is. also i kept noticing time and time again that my phone has to be in USB debugging mode and i dont know if it is. I cant turn my phone on to get it into USB debugging mode now anyways. Im okay with my warranty being voided and im okay with rooting if thats what i have to do to make it work. I have installed ADB and fastboot and some twrp recoveries etc but im clueless. Lastly know that i never Rooted my phone or anything but i was a torrent downloader. forgive me im triyng to provide as much information as possible.
PLEASE NOTE - I had to sign up to post here obviously and i loved how it said if you have an IOS go buy an android and come back LOL
