As the title says, is there a way to turn off the phone that is stuck in bootloop? Only thing I can think of would be to let the battery drain but I just wanted to know if there were other options that I didn't know of. I need to do this so I can safely attempt to get into fastboot without potentially bricking the phone.
Hold volume up and power to get to recovery. You should be able to do this while it bootloops

I forgot to mention that I'm in stock rom. Doing that just gives me the stock recovery.
I got my phone working again. Can a mod close this thread please? Much appreciated.

I bought this phone a couple weeks ago, already rooted and on a stock rom , the radios and everything else is flashed for cricket.
My question is, how can I find out if I have an unlocked bootloader and a recovery installed?
May sound like a stupid question, but I'm still new for Motorola, so I'm not used to having a locked boot . My thinking is that it must be unlocked if the phone is fully flashed to cricket.
Turn the phone off and turn it back on. At the top it will say unlocked if it's unlocked. To find if it has a custom recovery turn the phone off and hold the volume down and power until you see fastboot. Then use the volume down button until you see android recovery then press volume up to enter recovery. If it goes to recovery you're good if not then it doesn't. But it will only have a custom recovery if it was unlocked before.

If you have CWM recovery you shouldn't have to hit up. You should be able to just hold power and volume down and it'll boot straight into recovery. :]
I want your phone

I have to hold down the power button while inserting the battery for the phone to boot. Does anyone have a fix for this?
What comes up when it does boot
And what did you flash?

I flashed derpunlock.spf with RSD Lite.
When I get it to boot it will go into android as normal. The power button functions perfectly once I am booted into android.
Strange. Well it doesn't seem like a big deal if it boots and your unlocked.
But if you want wipe all flash stock sbf and then unlock... And see if that solves your problem.

Yeah, I ended up flashing a stock sbf and it's back to normal. It must have been a bad flash with derpunlock. I'm going to flash it again and see if my power button breaks again. Thanks for the response.
For some reason when I flash the the unlock sbf, it turns my phone off instead of restarting it. This is what breaks the power button from functioning.
Has anyone experienced something like this?
Yeah, Olegfusion, for what I know. And he got it repaired, with the RSD Lite hack method of unlocking. But it's not so easy and a little dangerous, if you do not do the steps right. And that method was tried only by me and Olegfusion. And we both are stuck unlocked. I think, you don't want to do this.
My first problem was the flashing battery icon and battery draining fast.
I tried to fix that (without any success), one way was to unroot and then root the phone.
Now I am on rooted phone with AT&T stock rom but I can't go into recovery mode, the device will only boot to download mode.
Does anybody know a way to fix this or is there a way to flash roms through odin or not using recovery mode?
Thanks
What combo are you using to get into recovery
Sent from Team Pirate! Using Tapatalk 2
I tried volume up+down+power button with no success, but i managed to go into recovery mode after i noticed that there is a CWM app icon.
At least now the phone is as before, but I still have the battery charging problem. Nothing seems to help.
Thanks for the help, I would appreciate if someone has a new idea to solve the battery problem. I think I tried every method that was discussed in the forum.

Yer probem with not booting into recovery was u weren't holding down the buttons for long enough. Turn the phone off. Hold volume up volume down and power until it reboots into recovery. Its not rocket science. I don't know what u mean by flashing battery icon but if u have a problem switch roms. If the problem persists after doing a FULL WIPE and flashing a different rom its a hardware problem.

So I was running my ROM, no trouble, and I decided that I wanted to change it. I hold the power button, click reboot, then I choose recovery. It shows the Samsung Galaxy Note II image, then flashes the CWM logo for three seconds then goes back to the GN2 logo and loops. I'm currently on CWM 6.0.4.3. How can I fix this?
Can someone please help?
Can someone please help? I know this thread only has one view so I'm trying to bump it up.

Try powering off. Then hold volume up, home and the power button. That will get you into recovery. If recovery is corrupt or bad.....I would think flashing back to stock and starting over is a good move. Can't hurt anything by doing that.

Unless you remember all the apps you froze, which is unlikely, go into recovery mode and factory reset your device.

Oh. Thank you. I have tried it. But I don't know.. Is it possible that I froze something that is required for the recovery?

If you can get into recovery then no, are the any custom Roms for your device? I suggest you try flashing one. They normally have all the bloatware removed already. Either that or flash your stock ROM again using Odin. Which device do you have?

It's an LG L7 p705 sir. It's rooted but I haven't flashed any custom roms yet.
I really think I froze something that has to do with the recovery. I can't access it.

If you prefer stock ROM then use Odin to flash a stock ROM on your device. I don't see any other way out of this

Can you acces Emergency Mode my friend. Pull out battery. Insert it back then Hold Volume up + Volume down + power button tell me if you see a yellow screen.
I doubt you can use Odin as you say you have an lg device. Many lg devices have fastboot access via bootloader if yours is on then you should be fine. I doubt you froze anything that would keep you from booting to the recovery as you can't freeze your kernel so keep trying to get there. But a factory reset will doubtfully help as you probably removed some system apps that don't return when doing a factory reset, but still worth a try
If you can get into recovery and a factory reset doesn't help then wipe all and then flash a custom ROM.
If this won't work than hope you have fastboot access and or another method such as nvflash or whatever

Ok. Thank you so much for your replies I really appreciate it. I guess that recovery is my only hope.. I'll try to get to it. I was nervous that I think I froze something that have to do with the recovery. I'll try to be more careful now, I'll just post if it's working fine now.
