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??
*note* Stock ROM

My phone started to act up after i went from cm7 to 9, maybe i did not do it right. Today, i went back to cm7 to stop the problems, but i had the same exact problems and it only got worse. I tried to sbf back to i think 2.3.4, and i have done a sbf before and did the samething i did last time. Now, i am stuck in a boot loop. I think the problem is that when i did the sbf it had no details about my phone. Please tell me what i should do.
Did you wipe data? I have never sbf'd but I've read that bootloops are common and wiping data usually fixes it.
From Moonshadow:
17. Whether or not your phone boot loops at this time, I HIGHLY recommend performing a factory reset from the Android Recovery menu. This is also the process of fixing the boot loop.
a. Pull the battery.
b. Plug the battery back in.
c. Power up your phone by pressing and holding the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON and then pressing the POWER BUTTON until you see the words FASTBOOT (in white) at the top of the DX2’s screen. This should only take about 3-5 seconds.
d. Press the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON 7 times, or until you see the words ANDROID RECOVERY.
e. Press the VOLUME UP BUTTON and the screen will add “Entering Android Recovery” under the words ANDROID RECOVERY.
f. In about 5-7 seconds, you should see a white triangle with a yellow exclamation point in the middle and a little android down and to the right of the triangle.
g. Press both volume buttons at once.
h. The Android system recovery utility (second line of text) will come up.
i. Press the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON until “wipe data/factory reset” is highlighted.
j. Press the power button to start the process.
k. Once the wipe data/factory reset process has completed, press the VOLUME UP BUTTON until reboot is highlighted.
99% of the time I have not wiped data and cache after an sbf I boot loop and I am guessing that's the issue just pop into android recovery wipe those two and reboot it will take a few minutes for the first boot as usual but should be good after that

thanks for the help it worked
i now have a new problem. i am trying to root my phone again but oneclick does not detect my phone
Do you have USB debugging turned on?
i feel dumb, i completely forgot to do that.
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.
After tinkering around with the developer settings i came to the conclusion that this device soft bricks when you experiment with the ART compiler, lets just say enabling it will keep you at the boot screen. I used this method on other Padfone Variants and it works on the Padfone X
If you are on the ATT boot screen and nothing is going on dont catch a heart attack
1) Hold the Volume - button on the side of the device and hold power till the phone reboots, keep holding the Vol -
2) You will be greeted with a prompt to enter or exit recovery, of course choose the enter recovery selection with the volume keys and hit power to enter
3) You are greeted with a selection screen anything from installing firmware from the phone or external sd and of course the ability to Wipe / Factory reset
4) Navigate with the vol - key to highlight Wipe / Factory Reset and hit the power key to enter, then on the next selection screen navigate down to perform the action
process takes about 4 minutes tops, afterwords the screen will pop back into the main selection screen, choose reboot phone and wait. As with all first boots this will take about 5 minutes tops, hence the ATT Logo will be visible, you will then jump into the get started screen as you did when you first bought the device.
Hope this helps with those experiencing problems
Try not to remove any bloat/or features if there is no official firmware recovery, you run a huge risk in perma-bricking your device if not careful. Wait for the DEVs to swarm in and serenade us with features
And BTW...stay away from selecting the ART compiler if youre going to enable developer mode, Stick with Dalvik if you dont want to get stuck.
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!
Hi All,
I'll explain this as clearly and simply as possible and hopefully someone can help
My oem 3T ran out of power, plugged into dash charger and no led, power button held down for 10secs and entered fastboot, got to some options by holding power and volume down, but none of the recovery,wiping cache,delete everything options worked (would always go back to fastboot)
I ended up following the unbrick tutorial on here (link - https://forum.xda-developers.com/one...us-3t-t3515306)
and got it back to factory state, HOWEVER, I cannot update the OS without it going into fastboot, if I THEN turn off and turn back on holding volume down it doesn't take me back to all the options I had (wiping cache, reset system settings ect) but shows me the android logo/loading screen with something like this in yellow text:
>>>> changing to aging
then I'm back to the original state before I tried to update the OS.
Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated!
I think I've discovered the problem! - my volume button is stuck on up also!!
didn't realise this with the power button held makes the phone enter fastboot mode is any case
