Okay, ive had my milestone for approx 6 months. Havent had any problems and have been keeping up with all the latest mods, etc. I was running 2.2 CM6.1-RC1 and after a few days my touch screen started going out. Recovered to an older Nandroid, and still had touchscreen problems. I rebooted and went into recovery mode, and now, no matter what, even if i reboot the system using the reboot option in any recovery menu, it just restarts the phone and goes back to the orange exclamation mark. I've attempted flashing the GOT2.2 service SBF to the phone and it is still doing the same thing.
Any ideas?
Are you using Open Recovery? Are you saying that you can't reach the default recovery menu at all after pressing camera + up?
I figured it out. The camera button thinks its being held down. If i hit it on something hard, set the phone down and turn it on, it boots up fine.
Only now is that the touch screen is act sporadic, i can hardly even unlock the phone, sometimes it takes 10 tries just to get it to unlock. (was doing this before the recovery issues)
Hopefully you guys can help me with my problem. Recently, I downloaded the new Marshmallow app drawer from Android Pit's "Here's how to get Android Marshmallow's new app drawer on Lollipop". It was successfully installed and seemed to be working fine. However, Google Now gave me a message saying that it was not connected to the microphone and that I should reboot my device. Thinking that the actual reboot key combo was power and volume down, I did this and this brought me to the fastboot page. I selected and entered the power up normally option on the top, which the booted my phone to a completely black screen, from which only the "power off" option would show if I held the power button down. I was confused and concluded that the app drawer somehow soft bricked my phone. After reading up on the web, I went into recovery in the fastboot screen, then selected clear cache. Two lines of orange text appeared at the bottom saying that the cache clear was starting and that it was finishing. I hit the power button, tried to boot my phone up, then, recieving another black screen, brought back up the fastboot menu and tried to enter the recovery screen again so that I could factory reset my device. The recovery screen gave me messages about how it could not load the cache, and since then has been flashing on a set interval on my screen (going black, showing the broken Android with "no command" then going black again).
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this problem?
note: (I have not rooted my phone)

What is the actual model of your phone. Did you have an unlocked bootloader with TWRP?
The black screen problem can only be fixed by doing a factory reset. After you get into the screen with the dead android and an exclamation mark. You need to press power and volume buttons to make a menu appear. Then choose factory reset. Unfortunately you will lose your data, but this will fix it.

I have solved the issue... I believe it was stuck in some sort of loop with the revovery mode, because that was flashing periodically on the screen. I was eventually able to get the recovery screen to actually stay on the screen and then reset it. Thanks for the quick reply!

I have solved the issue but the actual model is the Moto X 2nd Generation Pure Editon without the bootloader unlocked for anyone with similar issues. Thanks for helping out!
I'm having the same issue today with a Moto X Gen 1 after accepting Verizon's OTA upgrade to Lollipop. Only I can't boot to recovery.

I'm still having the problem that you were facing and cannot get out of that loop sequence. I've booted over and over, tried to launch recovery and nothing... I see some yellow text at the bottom only briefly staying that something couldn't load, then back to the dead-droid/red triangle (no command) for a split second, over and over... I am stuck.

I'm having this exact same problem too! The 'dead droid' just constantly flashes over and over, so I am unable to do anything. There was one time when I held power and the low battery icon showed up with a yellow exclamation mark triangle, but I haven't been able to get that screen again. I contacted Motorola and they told me to try and go to settings and do a factory reset... I just told you I can't turn on my phone! What the hell man. I have tried so many things online and none of them worked. From what I'm reading the only was to fix this is to flash a blank bootloader, but those files haven't been released yet.
The worst part is that I have only been using this phone for ONE DAY!:crying:

How did you get the screen to eventually stay on?

okay so after several guides and steps, i finally got my Moto X (1st Gen) working again using the tutorial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWDwyqUF6k4
Essentially i flashed a custom recovery like the PhilZ Touch recovery here http://www17.zippyshare.com/v/40132571/file.html by renaming the "philz_touch_6.58.7-ghost.img" file to "boot.img" in fastboot mode and rebooted after that.
And that was it, phone rebooted and is working fine.
My phone is completely unrooted, I just did a quick weak sauce root back on 4.4 which was patched with 5.0 I Uninstalled weaksauce2 and my phone has been unrooted and locked ever since. Suddenly I got a restart message in the middle of using my phone and my phone started looping yesterday.
When I try to enter the bootloader I can't do anything. The second I try to scroll down it splashes the HTC logo and then restarts.
Turning off the phone and turning it back on and attempting to enter bootloader doesn't fix anything, I can't access recovery. The closest I can come to operating the bootloader is mashing the power button to select fastboot, which just causes the screen to go black instead of splash the HTC logo before looping again.
Is there any way to fix this (or at least get the data off of it) or is my phone officially hard bricked?
Bump.

If your bootloader is unstable there not much you can do. Are you able to post the output of "fastboot getvar all"? Does "fastboot oem rebootRUU" brings you in RUU mode?
I have been trying to root my phone and now my Fastboot screens black. No longer shows the options to boot into recovery, power off and etc with the volume button toggles and power button as select. How do I get that option back? Or is there another way to boot into recovery? Thanks.
I am having the same issue, it seems.
Rooted my phone when I got it a year ago, but messed up with the DRM-keys.
Was running some Lollipop stock-ROM until recently, but decided it was time to update.
Flashed the stock 6.0.1 ROM and, from what I can tell, also successfully flashed TWRP 3.0.2. But I've not been able to get into recovery (tried "fastboot boot recovery.img" but I get a completely black screen at that point, although "backlit").
Fastboot has never shown anything (the LED just turned blue, but the screen is completely black, but not "backlight").
Didn't mean to hijack the thread, but it seems we have the same problem.
PS. The phone boots fine, and works as it should.
Wait shouldn't the fastboot screen always be black? I have never unlocked the bootloader,but my fastboot screen always showed the blue LED and a black screen
Got this phone with black screen and stuck on logo issue.
When I turn it on it shows the first startup SAMSUNG M31S powered by android logo.
And the problem is that it stays like that the whole time. The letters darken a bit when its close to the final boot up of the system which is normal but it should show SAMSUNG animation not this screen whole time.
The screen stays frozen like that. When I press the power button the screen turns off and it doesn't come back when I press the power button again. I have to force restart it by power + vol down or just turning it off the normal way by touching turn off on the screen but of course the screen is always black until I power it on again from powered off state. When its plugged into the charger(powered off) it shows that its charging just fine.
The touch works. I hear things when I plug it in. I turned on talkback and when I touch a part of the screen it tells me what's happening but the screen is black the whole time.
Download mode works. KG state is Prenormal I have no idea why, its on stock rom. I flashed correct stock didn't help
Recovery also works. I noticed that when I clear cache or wipe data while it does wipe just fine it also shows this message before the wipe "pdp no scenario"
In the recovery logs I noticed this error as well unable to set property ro.boot time.init.mount.cache so that might be a clue.
Can someone help me with this one? Its on android 11. I can't flash combination file because of the error "please get approval to use factory binary(PIT) "and when I give it PIT file it says the same but at the end its (bootloader) instead ( tried patched odin same thing unless there exist a way to bypass that security.
Thanks!
EDIT2:Added one more image(recovery logs error message)
I was able to unlock it even though its black screen. Will OEM unlock allow me to flash factory binary?
EDIT: I checked OEM option and long pressed in download mode. The phone's screen is now frozen on the "this device has unlocked bootloader...." screen. It boots up just fine but it stays like that until I press the lock screen and it doesn't come up again..
EDIT2: I tried combination firmware it didn't want to flash same please get approval message...
EDIT3: I was able to install twrp. What now? I can see some green color does this indicate display damage? I also noticed this greenish tint on the stock recovery too but in download mode and at the first startup logo no green is present. Why would the display work on recovery and download mode and bootloader is unlocked on this device screen but not work past that????

I've uploaded a YouTube video. I replaced logo.jpg from param.bin with my yellow image to test the colors and as you can see it shows some green, same green as in twrp so ye its the display most likely.
EDIT:
After flashing the PrishKernel the screen is stuck but after sleep I can wake up the screen and at the bottom where the navigation buttons are there is some noise type of image the rest of the screen is black. And its responsive if I press power button the bottom part turns on and off.
Brother you solved the problem??
