So I forgot to do a data wipe/factory reset but I did a cache wipe. Now my phone is stuck on the CM loading screen. I do a Power+VolDown to force restart. Then I press Power+VolDown to try to boot into clockwork. Doesn't work.
I was told that you can boot into fastboot, and then select recovery. However, there are no options. It just said "Connect USB cable or USB cable connected"
Is Power + volume up for recovery.
For bootloader is power + both volumes

Hello!
i have an sgs that every time it powered on it goes on an error bootloop of the launcher, and when i choose force close it goes on and on...
the second problem is that the 3 keys combo for entering download mode doesnt work, i mean it just power the phone...
the third problem is that adb cant find the phone after drivers installed.
what options do i have?
sorry for bad english...
Try doing a factory reset, wipe cache and Dalvik cache...and reformat Internal SD card (first remove any importants stuff like pictures)
i cant acess anything in the phone the error deny it from me
Not even recovery mode? Power down phone. Pull battery. Put back battery. Hold down volume up + home key + power button. If this doesnt work and you cant enter download mode with 3 button combo...looks like youll be making a jig. a 302k resistor jumped across pins 4 and 5 of the micro usb. I made one before for a buddies phone and it saved him.
Hold vol_up button, power button and home button for a few secs, when the samsung logo comes up, let go; in recovery mode go into advanced - fix permissions, then after its done, go into advanced again - Wipe Dalvik Cache.
no recovery mode, the phone is unrooted and without recovery
there is really no solution?
So my captivate's power button no longer works. And I am getting system UID inconsistant and says to wipe some cache partition which is in recovery mode? Anyway I can get into recovery mode with broken power button to wipe partition cache? thnks

Do you have ADB? If so you can use a terminal window with your phone connected to your computer via usb and run a command to reboot into recovery.
One way to get to recovery is to hold the volume keys while plugging into an ac charger. Once the charging screen fully loads, you should be in recovery. Also, certain kernels don't require the power button to select in recovery; try pressing the softkeys.

Your power button is broken right? Does the power automatically turn on if you insert the battery? If yes, hold both volume buttons (+,-) and insert the battery. That works for me, I have a broken power button too.
I factory reset it via phone privacy menu and I am no longer getting the inconsistant message. And phone is rooted and everything works great.
I have just downgraded ics (germn) to gingerbread (german vfd2), everything went fine. Then it bootlooped. I waited a 2 min. Guess need to wipe data. Battery out. Battery in. Nothing. Nothing at all when I press the power button.
I flashed using Heimdall cli on ubuntu x64. I quadruplechecked the partition to file mapping.
What are my options?
Are you able to enter download or recovery mode
Reboot in recovery (Press and hold Volume up, power & home button)
Wipe cache (wipe data too)
It should boot now normally.
If you are unable to enter in recovery or download mode, then its hard bricked and you should try fixing it with USB JIG.
I just tried to install CM 10.1.3 on my Motorola Atrix HD.
I forgot to wipe data and cache before installing the ROM, and now it is stuck in the boot animation.
When I press the power and volume keys down together, it takes my phone to a black screen, and when I press them again on the black screen it gives me a brief menu that says
"Normal power up"
"Recovery"
"AP Fastboot"
"Factory"
and another one I can't recall.
This screen times out in about 3 seconds. and regardless of which item from the menu I select, it still shows my boot logo, then the CM animation. I cant boot into fastboot or recovery, and I can't find anything good online to help me.
Help! What do I do?
Hi. There's a catch about the bootloader mode (the menu you're describing). You have to press vol down to scroll down to Recovery, and then press vol up to select it. Pretty dumb IMO but that's how it is.
If you're completely sure you can't get to recovery using this method, you could try going into download mode and factory reset through fastboot:
Here's the guide to get fastboot working:

To go into download mode, shut down the phone completely, hold down the power button and volume down buttons. Then let go of the power button while still holding down the volume button and it should boot to fastboot (download) mode. The connect usb cable to your pc.
You can do a factory reset (format data and cache partitions) using fastboot -w.
Btw, is there any particular reason for going CM10? CM11 is just so much better now, nightlies are pretty good (12/20 has been rock solid for me, even with ART enabled).
Good luck!
I am getting errors on my phone and want to factory reset. What is the best method to do this? I have rooted developer edition.
There's always factory reset on the settings menu. Or use RSD Lite to flash the current firmware.
Is your bootloader unlocked?
I've never had great success with the Factory Reset in the settings menu.
I would use the option in Recovery. Turn the phone off and enter recovery by holding Power and VOL DOWN for about 4-5 seconds. Release and navigate with VOL DOWN button. If you go past an option, keep tapping VOL DOWN to cycle through again. VOL UP is "enter", power shuts the phone off.
Press VOL Down to get to Recovery and then press VOL UP to select it. Your phone will boot into recovery and you will see a dead android icon (chest open). When you see this, press both VOL UP and VOL DOWN together and release. You will then see options in recovery for performing a factory reset.

Several ways...
Settings -> Backup & Reset -> Factory Data Reset
Boot the phone in fastboot/bootloader mode, from the PC... fastboot erase userdata
Boot into recovery, and reset from there (in TWRP its under Wipe)
Thanks, had to flash stock because the other methods still left phone with issues.
That's what I always do. Wipe everything in fastboot, flash in fastboot.
