I installed the Dexter 1.1 eLocity 7 mod and after it told me to reboot for it to fini my screen just flashes with the eLocity logo. I've tried the reboot hole and tried to turn it off nothing works. Did I brick it or is there a fix?
That happened to me, i think i held.down the home key during reboot? Someone smarter will help ya shortly i am sure
I hope so I've only had it for a few hours. This is my first Android device so I'm kinda lost!
I'm going to attempt to download and install the factory update and see if works until someone can tell me what went wrong with the dexter mod 1.1
Ok finally found a post about doing another another factory reset after the Dexter install. Seemed to do the trick.
Mod Install
Hi Bama_Android
I'm new to the forums here and I'm also a brand spanking new owner of a Elocity A7. I was reading your post. Can you go into detail as to what steps you took to correctly install the Dexter 1.1 mod? I have not even opened my Elocity box yet and want to update it as soon as I open it
Thanks
NVM I did what I should have done in the first place. SEARCH the forums before posting a question! I'm sorry all I was just too excited about getting my new toy.
Thanks again
I Will report back with results when I unbox my new baby
OK well I finally unboxed my Elocity a7 and applied Dexter 1.1. I like what I see so far. One thing I notice is how sensitive the screen is to touch. Is there a setting to tweak that?
Its ok that was my problem too. Now I cant get the calendar app to open!!!!
Reset the unit. Using a paper clip or similar on the back of the unit. Mine did the same thing.
The preferred to fix this is from the recovery screen. To get to the recovery screen:
Power down the unit. Completely off, not standby!
Hold the power button for a second (to start power up) and release
Press and hold the button until you see "Booting Recovery Kernal Image"
You'll see an android setup screen.
Press the "Home" key
Using the Search (up) and Back (down) keys select "wipe data/factory reset"
Use the "Settings" key to select
Go down to "Yes -- delete all user data"
Use the "Settings" key to select
Reboot
Always clear Data/Cach when updating...

I downloaded squidly's new rom and then i downloaded a kangerade theme, now know they obviously don't mix. My phone will turn on and act normal and then restart and keep going through a boot loop. Is there anything I can do? Please let me know right away, I'm kind of new to droid 2 since i just switched from a D1 please help.
You will most likely have to SBF. did you do a nandroid before installing the theme?
I do, but I don't know how to sbf, I have nanadroid, but to be honest i probably messed my phone up even more because I did a factory reset (X and power button, search bar.) I get into the android set up screen and Kangerade is STILL on... It does the continuous loop again...

Try these steps first.
Code:
1. Pull your Battery.
2. Replace battery and power on while holding down the X key.
3. Wait for the android triangle to load.
4. Press the Search key (the magnifying glass)
5. Use down arrow and navigate to wipe cache partition and press OK.
6. Use down arrow and navigate to wipe data and press OK.
7. Reboot phone.
If this does not get you out of the bootloop you will need to SBF. Please see this thread:

Thanks, it didn't work, I'll try that thread hopefully I can get it all figured out still a little confused though. Thanks for the help.
im trying to get my Motorola bravo out of the motorola boot screen. i rooted my phone with superonclick. that wasn't the problem, what was the problem was that. i wanted to install a new font on the system. i changed the file name because i read this stupid artical about doing that. and now i am stuck on the Motorola screen. i have already wipe/factory reset and called at&t and they say i can return the phone and get another. but if there is anyone out there that could help with this. then i would be a verryyy happy person! cause i wanna do this and get back to my live
Out of curiosity...What method did you use to wipe data/factory reset?
I found myself in this situation a couple of times and factory reset + wipe data worked.
Just so we are on the same page, what I did is have phone completely off, press volume down and hold, then press power button till Motorola comes out, then release both buttons.
Android robot with yellow triangle comes out. Press the lower right hand part of the screen and you should see a few options on the top. Use up and down to select factory reset and wipe data, press the bottom portion of the screen to confirm, touch the OK a few times if you feel the bar isn't moving.
Then you should be prompted that your phone has been reset and you are OK to reboot.

I'm having the same problem, but nothing happens when i press the lower right hand part of the screen.
I rooted it with superoneclick. the problem arose when I tried to flash a bravoX rom. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.

Try using the volume rocker. If you press them both at the same time the menu should come up.

i did this but no robot came up. still stuck at motorola symbol. all i did was root and install bootstrap recovery. i need help since this is my only phone.
So I picked an A7 last night at compusa. I tried to install the rom so I can run the google market place after rebooting it would just flash elocity on the screen and then reboot. So I got booted in to recovery mode and went to re-flash it with the latest firmware. Now when I power it on on the screen powers on for a split second and then powers down and I can't get it in to recovery mode. Well It's going back to the store to get exchanged. Any ideas on when I did wrong so I won't do it to the next one?
Only press and hold bottom power for 10-15 seg
Press and hold the power button for 15-25 seconds till you see the robot, then touch the home to enter recovery.
search: move up
return: move down
home: enter recovery
menu: select
MAKE SURE you clear the cache before and after ROM installation. You may have to do system wipe (factory reset) as well.

I did the same thing to mine. I did not clear the old data out before i flashed the new. After I cleared data out and reflashed it was fine.
Press power like you were turning on the device until the green lights come on
Release, then press (and hold?) power until you see "Hold Power for Recovery Mode" on the screen
Release, then press and hold power again until you see the recovery menu start to boot
It will reboot to an android with an exclamation point, this is the recovery menu
Then to navigate this screen, use HOME to display the menu text, Search = Up, Back = Down, Menu = enter.
go down and wipe data/reset
it will confirm thats what you want to do
then get back to menu and apply sdcard: update zip
it will do a little bit then go up to reboot system now
and apply and it
hope that helps
So I tried for several hours last night to get in to recovery mode. All I could do was get the screen to flash for a split second then stay blank. Took it back to the compUSA store today and they exchanged it no questions asked. So I tried flashing the mod again today something on the getting to the elocity screen and rebooting. But I got it back in to recovery reset it to factory defaults and flashed it to the newest firmware update and I was good. So the newest update comes with apps that can only be bought in the marketplace.. What is up with that?

got it to work thanks.. still not sure why the first one wouldn't boot or go in to recovery.. but I'm good now.
Ok so I have been running the Dexter mod version 1.2 on my elocity, and I got brave and decided to update to v1.41. After installing I am stuck at a screen that says "Booting recovery kernel image". I have been trying to find a solution to this, but I feel a bit in over my head, as I am quite new to this. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction of a fix if there is one? I'm not exactly a tech genius but I can follow step-by-step instructions Anyone?
Make sure the file size of your .zip is 104mb
Could have been a bad download.
Re-download, make sure to check file size.
Start from scratch. Making sure to do the wipe/factory reset and clear cache.
Hope it helps. Bricks are so much less entertaining than tablets.
My .zip is showing as 110mb even after downloading again
Since I am stuck at the "booting recovery kernel image" screen I haven't been able to get back to the recovery menu...is there a way to force?

If you hold the power button in for about 15 seconds it will turn off and you can restart the process.
Hope this helps you.
After it powers back up it keeps taking me to the same screen instead of the recovery menu...
After it has turned off. Removed the SDcard...Hold the button in for 2 seconds and release...Then hold the button in again till the message about holding it in for 5 seconds appears...Keep holding the botton in...DO NOT RELAESE IT till the config screen comes up...Navigate to factory reset...choose the YES option.
That should then reset back to factory settings. I would also redownload the Dexter Mod again, just to make sure it wasn't corrupt.
That should clear it up for you.

For some reason it won't take me to the 5 seconds message (it used to before all this no prob)...it just has the same "booting" message when it initially comes up and if I continue to hold down the power button, it will power back off instead of the config screen
Follow the instructions but hold the power and press the home button at the same time i tend to get recovery that way

Ok. If you got broken recovery and broken system too - you should use hard methods to restore.
1) read this

2) Do all preparations things - install Nvidia Developer Kit, drivers, buy or find A-A cable
3) If you need any help with this - write here or use PM.
Hello All,
I've been looking on the site for hours and can't figure this out. Hopefully someone can help me.
Sorry if this is a similar post to someone else but after reading lots of post none helped me out.
I just got a Motorola Atrix 4g unlocked and tried to update the OS from the offical site using their software and when it was almost finished the Atrix rebooted and not is stuck in a boot loop where it gets to the pulsing M logo then restarts.
I'm not sure what to do and not too familar with rooting or anything i just tried to use the offical site software so i wouldn't have issues and bang i got F up. hopefully someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Exactly the same thing happened to me yesterday. I asked someone on the motorola support forums and he helped me like this: first you need to do an external hard reset. Here are the instructions but there is a small variation once you get to the triangle/android screen, because in gingerbread you are supposed to do this: "Instead of tapping the lower right corner of the screen push both volume up and volume down buttons at the same time for the recovery menu.
Then, instead of tapping "OK", use the power button to confirm."
To perform an External Manual Reset of your handset to restore to factory settings, read instructions below and then perform.
Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button, press power button.
Screen will come up with "Fastboot", press Vol down key to cycle through choices until you get "Android Recovery", then press Vol up key
Wait for the "triangle ! / Android" screen
Tap on bottom right corner of the screen (may take a few times). a menu will come up
Tap on "wipe data/factory reset", and tap OK. Another Confirmation screen will come. Tap Yes and OK
After userdata is cleared, the "reboot system now" option will be highlighted by Default. Tap OK.
Phone will reboot to initial setup MOTOBLUR screen.
I hope this will help. It saved my phone yesterday. On the other hand, welcome to the world of gingerbread bugs and glitches...
oh and never use official updates in the phones settingz it will.f stuff up k
i went to the darkside today
3.1.2 +1.4elite
Thanks for the help I some how got it back up and running and now its at 2.3.4 from 2.2.2 so i'm happy.
