Help Droid MAXX Stuck at Boot

[zorzed]

I lost my previous phone and bought a clean used one, Droid MAXX. Came nice and working, 4.2.2, OTA 12.15.15.

I first used RockMyMoto (ADB, telnet) to root successfully. Then immediately proceeded to TitaniumBackup to batch-restore about 40-50 apps with data. Seemed to finish successfully on surface (didn't run all). Rebooted to settle all changes and -- bam, a problem! The phone gets stuck at the animated boot logo (red eye).

I forced to shut it down by holding the Power key, then tried to boot into Recovery -- reboots with no prompts and gets stuck at the same point again. After many attempts gave up and agreed to do a hard reset, chose Factory in boot menu -- again reboots with no prompts and gets stuck again.

I am desperate to get back to a workable phone and ok with starting over. Is it possible to get back to what I received -- un-rooted, factory reset device? Having spent all day with this, I am at a verge of buying another phone again... Cannot believe that this phone became useless. Thank you very, very much for your help!

I think that House of Moto should get you back: House of Moto [2.0] (For Now) - SamuriHL's House Of Moto - DroidRzr.com

Since you have 12.15.15, download the second link from here: Motorola Firmwares (which is one of the steps listed on the House of Moto directions.) If you download the 19.5.3 version, it will update it to KitKat and you will not be able to root the phone (since that seems to be what you want.)

Any questions about rooting should be asked in our All things root section: Droid Maxx - All Things Root - Android Forums

Problem solved with House of Moto. Did a full restore to 12.15.15. Will root again but will be doing an incremental restoration of apps, as I'm afraid something didn't work well in the batch process.
