I'm not exactly sure what I did, but I had a CM9/ICS ROM on the Bravo, but wanted to go back to CM7/GB, so I rebooted into recovery, and used TWRP to restore my backup. I did wipe caches and Factory Reset before restoring, so the restore process was insanely quick(11 seconds). Now when booting, it just shows the Motorola logo. Power button + volume keys take me to a either a Bootloader thing, or an exclamation mark/triangle with the Android thing.
I did not root the Bravo, I believe it was rooted and had CM7 when purchased(from ebay or something), so I'm kinda new to all this.
According to this, I can actually access recovery from the triangle thing using both volume buttons: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035778, but it's not the same one I used to install TWRP.
Will renaming a ROM to update.zip, and 'updating' work? EDIT: I've tried this and it aborts due to the ROM lacking 'verification'.
How can I get my phone working again?

ok im stuck on my boot logo for my motorola droid 2. its a liberty logo, no the original M logo, ive held in x when it starts up and then it takes me to the triangle and then i hold the search button down and then it takes me to a menu saying this:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
ive already tried just rebooting it and then it does the same thing again and just gets stuck at the boot logo, so please help. thanks!
Have you tried pulling the battery out for about 15 seconds?
See if that clears it up.
with it unplugged and turned off?
Yes Sir. Unlug it and turn it off.
yes i just did that and it didnt work, its still at the boot logo, the only thing i can do is go to that recovery menu that i said about in my 1st post, but idk what to do when i get there?
Try wipe data/factory reset.
Obviously you're gonna have to tweak your settings again.
okay, is there anyway i can get my settings back like a recovery? or something
Well, you might want to head in to the Droid 2 forums to get better responses related to your phone.
Here is a link to start with.
As far as recovery goes, I don't think you have a custom recovery installed. Sounds like you have a stock phone. So, there's no way of backing your stuff up.
i have it rooted and a rom on it but nothing custom, but thanks for all your help

If you have it rooted, did you ever perform a Nandroid backup ?
Do you have a non standard recovery installed?
EDIT: Sorry re-read last few post and come to conclusion that you probably don't.
sorry but doesnt rds lite 4.8 and the correct sbf file let u flash back to stock?
If your phone is rooted then you have changed your kernal.It might be a fault with the kernal.I had a similar thing happen in an SGS.It was rooted and when i flashed the kernal againh via CWM it also got stuck on the same as you.The only way to solve it was boot to download mode and flash via odin again.
I was running full stock rom bootloader unlocked rooted and was having a problem connected to lte.. No matter how many restarts i did I couldn't get lte to work just hspa+. So I decided to via twrp install The Base rom over it since it is the only custom rom I liked for the phone and still had the same problem. I went back into recovery, wiped caches, factory reset then wiped system. Reinstalled the Base and that's when I bricked it. All of a sudden it doesn't boot. It will splash the lg logo the just go blank but still notice a faint backlight. The is somehow on but can't boot into anything....
How do I get back into the recovery? Maybe it would be a easy fix from there.
I'm also considering just going back to stock, unrooting and relocking the bootloader since I'm fed up with how unreliable tinkering with this phone is compared to any samsung device.... What is the most fool-proof method in doing this?
Any help is appreciated....
To enter recovery reboot in to the bootloader. (Volume up + Power). The you will get a black screen with some text. Press volume down twice then power. If you did it right you will be in the recovery. Now restore from a backup.
You really should learn to read. (1) Information to enter recovery manually is in the Feegee thread and (2) It says on the base's OP to NOT wipe system or you will brick.

Thanks for your info...its gonna help.....at the time I totally forgot that wiping the base would brick the phone...I guess I was being just lazy not finding the actuall method to getting into the recovery....I searched a bit and couldn't find so I decided to ask....thanks
Phone is fixed...I'm a much happier person now
Well I bought my HTC One Max and a ran out of internal memory but I couldn't move all my apps to my SD card but I needed more space so I decided to root it, so I could have superuser rights and force my apps to the SD, so I installed a custom recovery and installed superuser so everything was right so far but I wanted to remove the tampered flag to enable my fingerprint scanner, so I installed a unsecure kernel I found on a XDA developers post and my phone screen went pink then it rebooted but froze at the loading screen and I couldn't reboot it by holding the power button so I rebooted via adb reboot bootloader and selected reboot but then again froze at the loading screen and this time adb didn't deteced my phone so I had to wait until it ran out of battery then I charged it a 50% and booted into bootloader then selected factory reset but instead of doing a factory reset it took me to the custom recovery I had flashed and instead of having to wait until it ran out of battery I selected on the custom recovery to restore to a previous backup but then it said there was no backup when I remember doing one in the custom recovery so then I selected wipe and selected wipe everything so it wiped all the data on my phone and rebooted but it's still frozen at the loading screen. What do I do now?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

I'm trying to help you here. But first, did you backup your stock rom? In this case, I think your problem cause by the insecure kernel during the flash process. If your device stuck at boot screen, hold VOL UP + POWER BUTTON 10secs. Hold VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON, this will force device to boot into bootloader. If you have the backup, you can restore from recovery. That's option 1.
Option 2, you can try flashing custom kernel @ Lunar Max Kernel @
Keep me posted buddy.

Hey I fixed it by installing the stock ROM and kernels found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584231. Thanks anyway I reallly appreciate it. Now I just need to find a way to remove the tampred flag without messing it up.(But that's another story!)
Hey man, good to hear you're doing good. This thread maybe helpful removing temper banner. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549104
Suddenly and with no recent changes to my watch (unless an OTA was pushed without my knowledge), my watch screen was blank, but still on.
I pressed and held the power button on the back until it restarted.
It starts to boot up, but never finished (left on charger all day).
I've tried several times now and all I get is either a stuck LG logo or a stuck screen with the flying balls of color.
I wouldn't call it a "bootloop" because the booting process does not start over (loop)... It's more like a "bootstuck".
I am able to boot into recovery, clear cache and factory reset. Once I restart though, it immediately gets "bootstuck" again.
I have even let the battery completely drain, placed it on the charger and tried again.
...nothing...?!?!
Any suggestions?

Something gone wrong in userdata likely, or since you already factory reset, more likely in /system partition.
The last few forced OTA threads in Q&A have a mirror link for a TWRP backup of LCA43. Use fastboot boot (not flash, so you don't keep it permanently) a 2.x.x.x version of TWRP. From there, backup your broken setup, factory reset again, use adb to push my LCA43 backup files to TWRP backups (not to overwrite yours), and then restore.
That should patch you up.

Well, I think I may have messed thing up worse now...
I unlocked the bootloader and got TWRP 2.8.7.0 installed. Then I was unable to backup, so I tried wiping the data to see if something was hanging it up...
Now I seem to be stuck in TWRP recovery and each time I reboot it displays a message telling me "No OS installed..."
Also, "adb devices" returns no results, but I do see the devise in fastboot, if I am in the bootloader screen
I suspect what I need to do now is obtain an update.zip file from somewhere and flash it in twrp, but I cannot figure out how to access the file directory on the watch.
Otherwise, I guess I could reinstall factory recovery, but I can't figure out how to do that either.
Unfortunately, the LG G Watch Tool doesn't seem to be working for me either. It just says "waiting for device"
Ultimately, all I want to do is get the latest stock OS installed and go from there
Any advice?

Wait, installed TWRP? If it keeps taking you back into TWRP, then "fastboot flash boot" was used, not "fastboot boot". Read my previous post for difference.
What were the backup errors? Did something not mount? If so, then this (coupled with the original issue), may be hardware related and out of your control.
See if you can get back to the bootloader first. The boot.img can be restored this way, and get you one step closer to booting.

Helllo yes it seems your partitions are all messed up. Considering that on android wear your "data" on it is almost all on your phone aswell it seems like a waste to try and recover it.
here is a link to the system,recovery and boot images from LCA43 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347803309 just flash those to each partition correctly ie. fastboot flash boot boot.img etc
and wipe your /cache and /data partition. You will essentially have a completely stock device and if it still thosen't function correctly then it is a hardware fault
Here is a video on how to access bootloader from boot screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftSCH7qihRI
Hello folks,
This phone was lying in the drawer for years until I found it yesterday and tried updating Lineage OS. It was on OS 12.
I took a backup in the recovery and tried wiping the phone to install Lineage OS 14.1 (just update wouldn't work for some reason). I could wipe everything but not the internal storage. It kept giving an error, unable to wipe /sdcard. So I wiped every 'partition' individually and it claimed, wiping successful.
When I went back to backup screen to make sure that rest everything is indeed wiping, I saw the sizes of the partitions same as at the time of backup. So I wasn't too sure if it just wasn't getting refreshed or it indeed didn't wipe.
And thats when I got a dumb idea of rebooting the phone.
I thought I have Safestrap installed so it will reboot in recovery anyways, but no, now all I get Motorola flash screen and then black screen.
Any ideas how should I proceed?
Many thanks in advance.
Try
Power off, Hold volume buttons, Power on, release buttons at
Boot Mode Selection Menu> Scroll down with volume down button, to BP Tools, Select with Volume UP button, should boot directly to SafeStrap (if it's still there).

Thanks for a quick reply.
I managed to recover the phone using RSD Lite and the firmware but now struggling to find the rooting files to root and get Lineage on the device. All threads that I am checking have missing files.
It will be great if anyone can share their backup.
Thanks again.
Update:
I managed to install.
I used https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48392009#post48392009 to root
Installed Safestrap and installed lates Lineage build.
4th thread in the sticky had everything.
Thanks again for help.
