Hi there,
I followed the wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100g instructions to install CM10.1 on my i9100g (up from stock samsung 4.1.2).
It worked fine until step 6 of installing CM Recovery: A blue transfer bar will appear on the device showing the recovery being transferred.
Since the reboot follwing the install, my phone does nothing but displaying the samsung boot logo (showing the device number).
When the logo is shown, I have two options:
1. Long press power, or up+home+power, or down+home+power.
The phone will then reboot and start over showing the boot logo.
2. Take out the battery.
When I re-insert the battery, the display will first display an empty battery logo, and after a few seconds it will switch to the half-full battery logo, as if it was charging (even though no cable is attached).
I have tried the following:
1. Get into download or recovery mode.
Nope, that doesn't seem to work, it always starts the normal boot logo, when I press up/down+home+power.
Taking out the battery for minutes, or holding up/down+home+power veeerry long doesn't help either.
2. start adb reboot recovery
Nope, adb can't find the device.
Kies doesn't connect to the device either, even though windows shows the USB device when the phone hangs at boot logo.
3. Followed the un-soft-brick-my-SGS2 guide.
It doen't apply, since I can't get to download mode.
4. Reflash the kernel/ROM.
Nope, I can't get to download mode, remember?
Any Ideas?
How about just batt pull + normal power up? Did it go straight to boot logo still? Because last time I crapped a flash, it'll show the phone + PC logo instead and that's good thing because that still mean you can hook to Odin and fall back to stock fw.

No, normal power up shows the same behavior, its showing the boot logo. But thank you anyway.
Yesterday I could borrow a USB jig get the phone right into download mode. Didn't work either. So I guess my only option is to send it in.
WTF? After having the Battery removed for two days the phone suddenly showed normal behavior and allowed to go into download mode.
Strange... Maybe the hardware is indeed defective, because it often says that a cable is attached even if its not the case.
I have a rooted i777 with SHOstock rom, I haven't updated the rom for a few months so I'm not sure which version it is.
The phone was working yesterday and it suddenly got stuck so I tried to reboot it (had to take out the battery because the power button didn't respond) but now each time I try to turn it on it is stuck on a black screen with the logo "Samsung Galaxy SII" and won't progress.
I tried to boot to recovery but it shows a screen saying "CWM-based Recovery v6.0.2.7" but it doesn't go pass the screen to show the recovery menu (it just reboots after being stuck on this screen for about a minute).
I tried to boot to download mode and succeeded, but every time I connect the device to my pc, the pc doesn't recognize it
(I tried re-installing kies, but it didn't help and probably the problem is not with the pc drivers because if I connect my wife's unrooted i777 to the pc it does recognize it).
so now I don't have clue what else to try.
any advice will be appreciated.
Make sure you have Odin v1.85 on your Windows PC. Look in the Windows Add/Remove programs dialog (or Uninstall a Program dialog) to see if you have SAMSUNG USB driver for mobile phones.
Open Odin on the desktop. Next put the phone into download mode by holding down vol + and vol - while plugging in the USB cable.
If Odin recognizes your phone, flash back to stock. I would recommend UCMD8 stock firmware, which you can get from the Download Repository.
don't know what happened to it but now it doesn't even turn on.
it's stopped turning on before I had a chance to try what you suggested.
now even if I connect it to the charger it doesn't show the charging status.
is there any other "force something" I can try?

Remove the battery and leave it out. Connect the USB cable to your PC. While holding down the vol- button (also try it with both vol- and vol+) but not the power button, plug the USB cable into the phone. The computer will provide the power. If this works, your phone will go into download mode. If not... you have very likely had some kind of hardware failure.
unfortunately it didn't work.
can't get it to download mode.
I'll try to leave the battery out for a longer time and try again.
should I try ordering a JTAG usb and see if it puts it in download mode or
probably my only option is to send it to mobiletechvideos?
I had the same problem, Your battery got too low. Pull your battery and leave it out for a while 15 mins or so. Put the battery back in and connect charger. Let the battery charge for a while without trying to turn on phone. The phone will not turn on with a dead battery even if it is connected to charger.
I just solved a problem that I didn't find any help with, so I thought I would post it here in case somebody else needs help out of this situation, and this is a recent and related thread.
After I pulled the battery of my i777 to test in another phone, without remembering to power my phone off first, it would only hang at the Samsung boot logo (stock UCMD8 ROM, rooted, stock recovery). Normally the Samsung boot screen shows for only about five seconds. Pulling the battery wouldn't get it to boot right. Holding Power to force a reboot didn't solve it. After clearing the cache it would move to the AT&T Rethink Possible screen once, then reboot and then again get hung on the Samsung logo screen. Also my battery was heating up a lot as it was hung.
I could get into both download mode and recovery. I tried reflashing my ROM from the stock file in ODIN since that would save all of my data IF it worked. This still didn't get it to boot past the first logo. Finally doing a factory reset on stock recovery is what solved my problem. I had to re-add my account and reload apps from scratch, etc.
Hey guys,
I had purchased this phone awhile back in 2012 and The model is: XT912. I had rooted it and installed a Custom Rom (Black Widow). The reason why I stopped using it was because I had a cracked screen so I upgraded to a different phone but having alot of issues with my new phone. So I decided to replace my screen for my Droid Razr, but its been awhile since i've used it and been experiencing issues of my phone not booting up and looked online for multiple solutions but no luck.
Issues are:
- Phone needs a USB Wall Charger to be able to be turned on, battery is charged fully but when I unplug my USB Charger, my phone turns off. When I try to attempt to do a fastboot session, I connect my Stock Motorola USB Cable to my PC and on my phone, it shows a white light. But when plugged in to a wall charger, my phone boots up but doesn't boot anywhere besides the motorola logo.
- My phone boots up, shows the motorola logo and goes straight to battery charge and it shows 0% then 5% then 100% sits there for about 3 minutes and then reboots.
- When trying to go into recovery, it stays on the motorola and i've left it there for 24 hours abd no luck.
I've tried multiple things, but its been very aggravating since I've been trying to look up solutions for the past week but still had no luck.
Please help =(

The white light means that your battery is empty,try this:
Booting from AP fastboot to charging mode
If the Device will only boot to AP Fastboot and it says Battery Low
Connect the phone/Device ato a Wall Charger (not PC)
-In AP Fastboot Mode hold Volume down& power buttons at the same time for +10 seconds
- When screen goes black...release power button
-Then IMMEDIATELY press and hold Vol - and Vol+ to boot to Boot Menu.
- In Boot Menu scroll down with volume down to BP Tools, press volume up to select
- Device should boot to Charging Mode with battery icon
- Once battery is charged, try flashing in AP Fastboot again
This will only work if battery charging Firmware is still present and not corrupted
If Motorola Device will not boot to Charging Mode, a Fastboot cable will be needed.
You can buy it or you can make one by yourself,look at the picture.
If you can boot to AP Fastboot mode use this utility to flash stock rom,here http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr/development/droid-razr-utility-xt913-jellybean-t2861798
If nothing works maybe your battery needs replacement...

I've tried the troubleshooting steps mentioned above but no luck.
What I remember is that, back in the day when I installed the ROM, I wiped everything, incl. the Recovery partition and I believe android version it was on was ICS. When I installed Black Widow, everytime i would reboot it, i had to turn it on a certain way, sort of like safe mode. I've tried it though but no luck
Also, everytime I do plug in a charger, It does show a charge of 100% but once I unplug the USB, it turns off and the only way to turn it back on is plugging the USB back in.
I've also created the cable you've mentioned, but it still shows a white light when plugged into a PC. I've already replaced the battery and the battery is brand new. Just replaced it yesterday.
Any other suggestions? Is there a way to fastboot it so i can install a stock rom with the OTA?
Thanks.

You can't charge the phone with the fastboot cable,it is for flashing the stock rom with RSD Lite when your battery is low.
Here is everything you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3023837
Download Motorola drivers,RSD Lite,appropriate sbf file for your region and flash it.
Oh,use Windows 7,not Windows 8
Edit:
Use this utility because you have XT912

I actually got it to boot up, but turns right back off. How do you boot it up into safe mode when the phone is off?

Ok, So I was able to get to the Boot Logo usuing HW Diag. and Boot AP and my screen would show safe mode activated, then it would boot up a logo and I believe its cyanogen mod. It has a Blue Droid with a ring circling around it, but then it restarts. Maybe if i'm able to boot it into safe mode from the beginning, i could start it up.
How do I boot it into safe mode when the phone is off?
Thanks.

Power the Device Up in Safe Mode - DROID RAZR / RAZR MAXX by MOTOROLA
Hello friends, I come to report here a problem I'm having with my device.
It is not charging my battery, I thought it was a problem in the battery itself, I made the replacement for an original, but the problem was not solved. the device uses all the battery power, it stays at 0% and it does not charge, besides, it recognizes my SIM card, but there is no signal from the operator to make calls or use the 4G network, I did a lot of research I saw that it was a problem related to Software, regarding the CQA test, I saw several tutorials, where none succeeded, lastly, I would like to install a custom rom to see if the problem would be solved, but I went to do the bootloader unlock process, but when Fastboot displays the code and I enter the site of the motorola, it returns me with an error that I can not unlock the bootloader of my cell phone, and I need to unlock to be able to customize the android.
follows a video showing what is happening with my device.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17roum_XlzQ
sorry if my text contains errors, I'm from Brazil and I used the translator to write
Thank you if anyone can help me because I have the device stopped because of this.
Thank you!
Hi, had the same issue. What helped me was connecting
power cable, going to bootloader, from there navigate to recovery. When it boots to recovery, regardless if there is any, leave it for some time. After about 5-10 minutes try rebooting, and it might picked up some charge, then it should charge as normally but very slowly, cellular connection also appeared.
Last time when my phone went to 0% and after going through this procedure my phone was at 17% after charging in recovery mode but didn't charge in normal mode after reboot. I also needed to toggle some setting regarding CQA in bootloader menu. Then everything went back to normal.
I will do this procedure to see if it solves my problem, remembering that my battery is in 0% and with it connected in the device it is only displaying the lightning, informing that the battery is without load.
what settings did you make regarding the CQA?

My device does not hold 5 seconds on bootloader because my battery is at 0% I believe the power supplied by the cable in the charger is not enough to keep it powered on. and now?
Original charger is definitely more than enough to keep phone on in bootloader mode. Try to make sure that usb C connection is dust and grease free.
Regarding CQA mode setting I can't remember exactly, but that is second thing.
Maybe even 5 seconds in bootloader should be just fine to navigate to recovery.
I wish you good luck, i was almost desperate when it firstly happened to me.
i had the same problem. after lot of trial and error i found a solution.
connect to power source (wall adaptor/modo battery mod.) get into bootloader menu and wait for 5 mins pressing vol up or down frequently.
then select reboot to recovery. on red triangle screen holding power button press and release volume up button one time. you will get into android stock recovery
select option wipe cache partition. and select yes when asked.
keep charging the device upto half hour in recovery mode and then select option reboot to bootloader.
after bootloader menu appears scroll down to BPTools and select it.
Your Phone will reboot and you will get Network and Your Phone will also charge normally.
Warning: Do not let your phone discharge to 0% or you might have to perform all above steps again.
This method worked for me as well. I recently replaced the battery on my Moto z force droid but couldn't get it to charge and signal was gone, after trying several things the Bp tools worked great, thanks dude.
Hello,
New to the forum and all of this, so please go easy on me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9+ (SM-G960F).
On Thursday evening, I went to the device and it was completely dead. It wouldn't turn on and I attempted to do power key/volume down and various other button combinations I found online that would normally boot the device. Obviously, I attempted to charge the phone, but the charging light did not come on yet the phone did warm up slightly as if it was charging. After leaving it plugged in for so long, a 'Downloading... Do Not Turn Target Off' screen appeared. It also states I can restart the phone by holding volume down/power button for seven seconds. However, when I do this the phone just goes dead and doesn't boot up. After plugging in the charger again trying various buttons, I eventually end up back at the same download screen.
I've read about recovery mode, safe mode etc but I am unable to access them using the instructions I've read.
Any help would be appreciated. Ideally I'd like to be able to access my photos/videos/messages on the device and be able to use it again.
