Moto Razr I Wont go in to fastboot. - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys I am trying to gt into fast boot to unlock the boot loader of the razr i but it just won't
when I hold them two down the Motorola logo flashes screen goes black then the logo comes back and dosnt do anything. It then continues to turn on when I take my fingers off the 2 buttons (power on and volume down). Im am on android 4.1.2 if that helps. If I have missed anything that would help just let me know.
Thanks in advance

When the phone is off hold power and volume down till it vibrates. When it vibrates take your finger off ONLY the power button. You have to continue holding volume. Then you should be in fastboot mode.

[Q] how to enter stock recovery in JB

Hi all,
My phone is EU retail, locked, unrooted. I updated from ICS to JB via manual download of the update and installation via SD card as explained in one of the more popular threads here. Now after the JB update, I want to enter recovery in order to clear the cache.
With ICS, I was perfectly capable to enter the stock recovery. Press power + vol. down for a few seconds, and the (fastboot?) menu appreaed where I could select recovery. Then the dead robot shows up, I pressu vol. up + vol. down and I had the expected options. Now on JB however, this does not work. It does not matter how long i hold power + vol.down, it always boots the system. When I press power + vol. down and keep holding the two buttons, the green LED goes on and off, then the phone vibrates, showes the red M and seemingly starts to boot. Then the screen goes off and it repeats the 3 steps (LED, vibrate, red M) but then goes on to boot up the system...
Is this supposed to happen?
Same here. It looks like there is no Recovery installed at all, so will try to flash one tonight.

I'm new to Motorola so need to ask...what is this stock recovery for? Is it the same as a typical 'custom recovery'? I've never heard of a manufacturer putting on in their ROM...so can I do a normal backup of a ROM or no? Thanks

Thanks, this releasing of the power button while still holding vol. down works reliable to get into fastboot. However, when I select recovery, the screen goes black? Something is not quite right with my phone...
Edit: I seem to get the hang of it. Now I finally get into recovery. When I select it from the fastboot menu, the screen gets black for a couple of seconds and then the dead robot appears. To get the options in recovery, I press both vol up + down at the same time twice. Initially, the layout in recovery is broken up. Just two blue lines at the top and a few characters in green at the left border. Once I press any of the volume buttons, the options finally appear.
Hmm I have not gotten into recovery on JB even once...can't get in.
help please!!
i have de same problem
when i push power button, the green led turns on for a few seconds and then the phone get off... i can not enter into recovery mode either
anyone know how to fix it or fix it already
thanks!! :crying:
The above tip doesn't work for me - either my timing is wrong or I don't understand the instuctions.
Someone else kindly explained it differently and eventually I got it working. That was posted in some other thread and I don't think it was directly related to recovery - I can't even find that post now!
I have found people saying they've got root on the RAZR M on locked bootloader Jelly Bean...but you need to access stock recovery which I can't do now.

That's the original post...I don't fully understand it.
I am grateful to that poster for trying help people - so I don't want to be misunderstood! :good:
If I were to describe the boot process to someone, nothing 'vibrates' - so I don't understand that. My phone doesn't vibrate when boot begins, and no 'i' vibrates either. Also, there are two 'i's. There is the i in Intel and in Inside. I'm guessing it's the first i. Believe me, I have tried 10 combinations like 50 times. I know it can be done, but can't do it using that post.
Nope, someone else explained it differently and I got it the first time. It wasn't a recovery thread so it's hard to find now.
Your Razr does not vibrate after boot? This is strange. Ok, let me try to describe the process based on my Razr i. (As simple as possible)
1. The mobile is turned off
2. Press and hold the Vol- button
3. Now press and hold the Power button and observe the green light. It turns on at the same time I press the Power button. The green light is on for approx. 2 seconds than it turns off.
4. Just at the moment when the green light turns off my Razr vibrates twice within 1 second.
5. I need to release the Power button before the 2. vibration and at least 0,5 seconds later the Vol- button. This is the point to get in the fast boot menu.
Without any vibration you should try to release the Power button just at the moment when the green light turns off - followed by releasing the Vol- button 0,5 seconds later.

Why did you post in Razr i forum? Wouldn'd it be more effective to post in Galaxy S3 mini forum?

[Q] razr i bricked/locked, stuck at intel inside logo

please help, i wanted to boot into cwm recovery and maybe i pressed the power button and/or volume down button too long or too short (don't know). the phone started to boot normal with the moto logo and when get stuck at the intel inside logo. that's it.
all the buttons have no more reaction when pressed, no led glowing. no button work -> no possibilty to shut down the phone.
any idea?
edit: problem solved. pressing powerbutton and volume+/- at last gave a vibration and releasing the buttons resulted in normal boot.

Maybe the volume button is stuck down. Play with it try again. I'd it goes back to boot loader try rebooting to system from menu.

your phone is physically broken ...why did you think we could help, Theirs no magic software fix for broken power and volume buttons
But button was working just before i shut it down. In fact if i hold down the power button something happens a sort of reboot to the bootloader).

That's pretty strange, most time it's working or it's not
did you try holding the phone under a bright light and holding the power down for 20 seconds
Yes and there is short black screen and then back to the bootloader

well if it stays in the bootloader you could relock and flash a RUU
I HAVE THAT SAME EXACT PROBLEM!! My HTC One M7 was working completely fine until the battery died earlier this evening. I charged and switched it on (without pressing the volume down button, just the power button) but it seemed to have entered the bootloader. But while in there, only the volume up button works, neither the power button nor the volume down button worked (though I never had any issues with them prior to today!) So now I'm stuck in this screen. Doesn't help if I shut it down or let the battery drain then recharge it. It's just stuck here...
If anyone's got ideas on how to solve this, please do let me know
BandicootUK. Did you find a solution? I'm having the same problem.

fastboot... Help

I've been charging the tablet for 4 hours. It still has a black screen that says fast boot in small letters. This didn't happen with the other one I purchased.
Does anyone have any advice? I want to give it to my daughter tomorrow!
Help!
If you've not been doing anything with it connected to a computer to install things I think you've accidentally pressed volume down when pressing the power button to turn it on.
If so press the power button until it turns off and then turn it back on with hands away from volume controls.
Hopefully just that

Help unbricking

How long are you holding the buttons? The lights will flash for several seconds before booting to the bootloader.
Have you tried doing it with the device powered off?

Hold the Power button till the screen goes black, then release it & quickly press & hold the Power button & Volume Down to get into the bootloader
im holding the power button only for as long as i can and yet nothing. The capacitive buttons blink and nothing, no vibrations black screen. Just the boot image

Well, I have no idea then.... The phone should turn off after holding the Power button for ~10 seconds while the capacitive buttons blink... For how long are trying to turn off the phone? I would suggest you to let it in bootloop over night, so the battery gets drained & then try to go into bootloader in the morning when charging [emoji4]
I'm having the same issue. My volume down button barely works and when it does it's temperamental. I've done the same and had the same issues with the blinking lights. I've let the battery drain out and tried to redo it to no avail. ADB and Fastboot commands don't work either since it doesn't boot up far enough for the adb wait-for-device commands either, so I think mine is fully bricked. I have a Nexus 4 which I'm using but it would be nice to get my M7 working again as a backup/mess around phone
