I was using the Liquidsmooth ROM, I think 3.1, when on the update menu a new release (3.2) popped up. So I decided to perform the OTA Uptade. Rom downloads itslef, then the Phone reboots himself and remains stuck on the Moto logo...After one hour I resetted the phone via power+vol key combo and I finally met the infamous AP fastboot screen.
I have bypassed the low battery issue by buying a moto factory cable, so now the AP Fastboot screen says "battery ok" and "can program".
That being said, the situation is now as follows
1) If I try to load a ROM via SBF Lite I obtain the following errors:
a) trying to install the stock EU JB rom results in the following "1/10 phone returned fail"
b) trying to install both Cyanogen 11 or Liquidsmooth 3.2 results in SBF rejecting the ROM i.e. it doesn't even start to upload them into the phone
2) If I enter into recovery mode and try to install the Cyano 11 or Liquidsmooth 3.2 which are store in the micro sd cart, the install fails after the integrity check
So, now I'm stuck with a phone which could be programmed, thanks to the factory cable, but which cannot be programmed in non of the ways I've reported.
p.s.
AP Fastboor versione is 0.77
Thank you in advance for every bit of help you would mind to share

Edit: I have solved my problem.
I was able to Flash fastboot back to stock using RSD Lite.
I rooted using my original method and used Boot Menu Manager (Google Play Store) to install a custom ROM.
Worked like a charm!

The problem with this device is that it is almost impossible to find relevant information. The information that seems relevant may be outdated or wrong.
Here is my problem:
my xt910 is running stock 4.1.2 OTA Fido. I successful rooted using this method.
I attempted to install CWM Touch (here)
but due to a lapse in judgement I installed the APK and ignored the following warning in that thread.
"[Razr xt910 using Bootstrap BootMenu]
***do not install CWM Touch or uninstall hjack and BootMenu completly first.***
***If you install over BootMenu this cause black screen on Boot recovery***
***Boot Menu is advanced system of dual Boot and recovery***"
Then, when i loaded CWM, touching "backup/restore" didn't open up a different menu, I was stuck at the CWM main menu.
So I turned off the device, and booted it up normally to check things out. Then I get stuck in the "Encryption Unsuccessful" Boot Loop. I tried to boot into recovery and to no avail... I see the dead Android symbol.
I googled to figure out how to fix Encryption Unsuccessful, and saw a bunch of people mention RSD Lite and AP fastboot to fix Encryption Unsuccessful. I installed RSD Lite 5.7 and attempted to flash: 9.8.2O-124_SPUL-18_Fido_P006_A007_S1FF_CFC.xml (most recent I could find)
RSD Lite got hung up on step 14 "authentication" or some similar word). I rebooted the phone. Now my normal boot is stuck at "AP FastBoot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)
I realized I was following out dated guides, and that the different versions/information were causing me a ****load of confusion, and leading me towards possibly permanently bricking the phone.
My current Boot Menu
Normal Power - Flash failure (as mentioned above)
Recovery - (Broken, as mentioned above
AP FastBoot - Functional (afaik)
BP SPF Flash - Functional (afaik)
BP Only - Motorola Logo after 5 mins
BP HW Diag and Boot AP - same as below.
BP Tools - Boots into android (all user data wiped - SD Card had to be reformatted)
If anyone could please help me sort out the BootLoop and install CWM. I want to get CWM running so I can install a custom ROM. This is my friends phone, and I am currently in a really tight position to get it to him... in working order.
I know a lot of you guys spend your free time helping idiots like me, and often expect nothing in return. I'd be more than happy to throw a few bucks, PayPal, towards anyone who wants it, and is able to take their time to solve my problem.
Thanks,

I have a problem with one of my Lenovo A830 phones.
I bought it from Etotalk, so it came rooted, and with their custom version of the Lenovo Stock ROM and their custom version of CWM 5.5 installed.
I tried formatting my SD card and then doing a factory data reset from within the operating system. (I was intending to install MIUI V5 after rebooting into recovery).
However, on rebooting, the device is now caught in an infinite boot loop, and I am not able to boot into recovery mode (by holding down power and both volume keys). It loads the initial splash screen, then shows a few seconds of the Android character and some whirring cogs before rebooting.
I am able to boot into Factory mode (power and volume up) or Meta mode (power and volume down). Factory mode has a number of options, but they are all in Chinese characters, which I am unfortunately not able to read.
I did notice that my SD card seemed to be write protected when I tried to format it in my computer and to copy on the new ROM - I solved this by putting it in a different phone and reformatting it. I wonder whether the factory reset process has write protected something it shouldn't have?
Does anyone know how I might best proceed? I've been digging around on the forums, and tried a few things, but there's nothing which seems to provide a coherent solution for this problem.
I've got the latest Android SDK Tools, MTK Droid Tools 2.4.8, SP Flash Tool 3.1312, some additional ADB drivers (120827 v3.7) that I'm not sure how to install, the latest MIUI V5 ROM (3.8.16), and the latest stock Lenovo ROM (S118 from Need A ROM, just in case I need it).
Maybe different SP Flash Tools version?
I had trouble using SP Flash Tools v3.1312 with A830. Once I switched to v3.1304.0.119 I was able to flash both the original ROM and the custom MIUI one without serious issues. I'm unable to post the download link but google it.
One other thing is that when connecting the phone, it usually loads the something something Preloader driver, which is no good (even if it gives you Download OK). When attempting to flash either ROM, try pressing both the power and volume up buttons while connecting the phone (after pressing Download), only way it worked for me.
Good luck!
I managed to sort this out quite simply in the end!
On the Lenovo A830 (and presumably other Lenovo Android phones?), you enter recovery by pressing power and then pressing volume up / down together after a short pause. The short 1 - 2 second pause is important, because if you try and press them at the same time or in quick succession it doesn't seem to work.
I then installed MIUI V5 from the SD card followed by Google Apps after a reboot. In order to get MIUI to install, I had to remove the assert check at the top of the update script, because this seems to erroneously check for the A820 (even though there isn't currently a port for this device?). It's working excellently with two exceptions - I am unable to select the SD card as a storage device, and Google Play store is not searchable (it causes a Force Close).

Hi I had similar "reboot loop" problem this morning after a phone factory reset.
I have no idea how I solved that but the following was the steps I tried:
1. Install the MTK6589_PdaNET_ADB_VCOM_Drivers. Skip the USB connection during setup. Start the PdaNET after setup finished.
2. Insert battery inside the phone and connect the phone with the computer by USB
In my case, the phone reboot loop once, and the lenovo screen appeared in the second restart. The phone hanged. I unplugged the cable, took out the battery, insert the battery again and start the phone normally again and it is working now.
I recommend installing the recovery rom after you have fixed the phone.
Goodluck
Hello, yesterday while trying to encrypt a folder in the internal memory in the beta program, I discovered to my horror that the entire internal memory(sdcard) have been erased. I do not know how or why. After reset, the overhang on the logo. I have uploaded JB o2, retail Europe, does not start up the phone. Overhang on the logo or bootloop. I try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505254. In the end I took the tutorial in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194825&highlight=unbrick&page=4, phone starts up but after a reboot bootloop. After re-uploading the Blur files phone starts, but after a reboot bootloop again. Does anyone have any ideas?

First of all stay calm and relax all can be solved....
The best way for flash again the rom is use rds lite
For flash a 4.1.2 you have to use rds lite 6.0 (google it)
Also you need to install the usb drive otherways your razr will not connect perfectly
If you have the 4.1.2 europe try another one like the german retail or the franch one
SO:
Turn off (power botton and vol -)
Let it charge a little bit (half battery will be ok)
enter recovery mode (power vlo- vol+)
go in ap fastboot using vol - and power for confirm
decompress the file you want to flash (in a folder and rename as you like)
launch the rds (remember install mototrala driver)
search the folder where you extract the rom and double click on .xlm file
plug the phone in pc,wait few seconds (10)
click on start
wait
done

Anyone have any idea? I ran out of ideas. I had installed BBM and Retail JB slot 1 if it has any meaning.
So I have a droid razr that has (Safestrap 3.73 with TWRP 2.7.0.0)
I flashed a custom rom onto it; a 4.4.4 version and it was working fine for a few days. The phone died overnight, and I charged it to full battery yesterday. After doing so it will no longer boot to the operating system.
The phone can boot to recovery, and the options can be fiddled with there, however I cannot get the phone to get past the blue logo with the spinning arrows. It will stay there indefinitely...
I do not have an external SD card for the phone, and my pc will not recognize the phone in spite of having the drivers for the phone installed before hand. I have tried to wipe/factory reset multiple times and yet it will always get stuck at the blue logo. The option for the stock rom is greyed out in the boot section, and I really need my phone to get some functionality back to it.
I do not have any other image for recovery installed on the phone, only the current rom and gapps are on the install section. I have wiped and tried to reflash but I always get the same result.
Where do I proceed from here? I am very confused and could use some help as to what to do to restore functionality... personally id prefer to go back to stock image but am having a hard time locating the us verizon factory image online, not that I can even get it onto the phone.
How I bricked (and unbricked) my tablet SM-T820 due to OEM Unlock setting and battery drain - I hope this is useful for someone making the same mistake! I successfully rooted my Tablet S3 T820 with TWRP 3.2.1-1 and Magisk and installed SM-T820 Tweaked without any problem the moment I received it - it's a great daily driver!
While fiddling to fix an app crashing due to safetynet issues, I unchecked OEM-Unlock and forgot about it. The tablet ran out of power and upon reboot gave an FRP boot error "Security Error: This device has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support...". Any attempt at booting into TWRP was FRP blocked I guess because of the locked Bootloader. I immediately tried doing a stock firmware restore etc. via ODIN which failed at about 65%, probably due to a low battery (which I didn't know as there was no way of seeing the battery status). Upon reboot I had a screen saying "use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software". When I tried reflashing stock firmware through Odin again, the tablet connection kept disconnecting/dropping out every 10 seconds or so and restarting always going back to the same “use smart switch” error message. The same happened in Download mode. I now know this was due to a drained battery. I couldn't power off the Tablet in order for it to charge as it always switched on as soon as power was connected.
The fix: I noticed when in the error boot screen "use smart switch to recover" it didn’t charge at all (I had it plugged in for 8 hours) and always cut out and rebooted to error msg. every 10 seconds. The first time I managed to stop it cutting out was by booting into Stock Recovery Mode with "Home & Vol+ & Power" buttons while plugged into the wall socket (stock recovery must have installed just before Odin failed the first time I tried to unbrick). I had it plugged into the wall socket in Recovery Mode for about 2 hours where it very slowly charged a tiny bit. In stock recovery I booted into "Reboot Bootloader" where it went directly to Odin Mode saying “Downloading... Do not turn off target”. I then reflashed my firmware without any errors. After first boot the battery was still only on 1%! I again have a brand new, functional Tablet! Now back to Rooting . . . and never touching oem-unlock again!
Hello i hope you can help me, same mistake but i cant find the correct firmware. originaly it has the android 7.0 ara2, but later i flash the SM-T820 TWEAKED Based on latest stock BRJ1 firmware, and have to flash the oreo bootloader. i tried a uk BRJ1, ARA2 and others from mexico where i buy the tablet but it fails. i dont want to waste more battery so any suggestions are welcomed
