while flashing the phone crashed and turned off and wasnt possible to be turned on again. connecting to USB only turns the LED solid green while plugging directly into the wall will turn onto the motorola screen with boot failed 1. any help would be nice. thanks!

Can you get into recovery by holding Vol Down and hitting power and then pressing Vol Up to cycle to "Recovery"?

negative. phone will not respond at all. when not plugged into the wall outlet, it will not even turn on the display

Have you taken out the battery for a bit and then put it back it to see if that works or tried a different Atrix battery?

i was able to force boot into fastboot by powering up and vol up but not recovery. the battery was died even after a whole day of plugging into the wall charger. while trying to follow some recoveries while in fastboot, i hit the wall with error 0x180004

Two things to consider
If you're able to get into fastboot, are you not able to press "Vol Down" again to cycle the different boot modes and to get into RSD?
And, if you can still get into fastboot, what recoveries have you tried? There's at least 3 different ones available.

i am only able to get to fastboot via power button and vol up. power button and vol down will just flash the screen then goes blank.

What he mean is after you press vol up + power button and the phone display unlocked with fastboot menu, cycle with vol down to see the other menu.

Volume up and power button goes straight to fastboot. Volume down and power button goes to fastboot as 1st option, and from there you can use volume down to cycle through options and volume up to select.

fixed the problem by fastboot-w then force fastboot via power button + vol up and RSD lite 4.5.141

Dont hold power take out battery plug in the usb to a computer hold both volume keys down while putting in the battery or turn off the phone hold volume keys while plugging in the usb
Yeah, sounds like you are doing it indirectly is all man.
My signature has a link to a noob guide. It has detailed steps, and a video (s).

What if the phone hangs and can't pull battery off?

I'm thinking of buying this phone but What if the phone hangs and can't pull battery off?
and what if u're flashing rom throught the recovery and it hangs?
Hold the power and volume down rockers at the same time.

I had no problem with it, if it hangs just pushing the power button for long time reboot the device.

This is what I do.
Same here, my phone wouldn't wake up, power, vol down for about 5 seconds forced reboot.
The manual says to force a reboot by holding down the Power key and the Volume down key.
Anyone know how /if that's different from holding down just the power key or the Power key and both the Volume down and up keys, two other things I've read mentioned?

holding the power key by its self doesnt always work. It just is a hard power down. The power + vol down is essentially the same as a battery pull.

Holding power and down volume key at the same time is a forced re-boot, and you'll automatically go into a power on situation, with the boot animations starting.
Holding just the power down button should only power off the device, and not re-boot, so you have to re-press the power button to start again.
Sometimes, though, if the phone recognizes the power down by holding the power button, once it turns off, it recognizes the power button a separate time, and you re-boot. This is actually an error, and "shouldn't" occur, but does because of the system resetting.

Get out of "download mode"

This may be a noob type question, but how do I get out of "download mode" if I accidentally did the "volume down + home + power" trying to get into recovery? I've tried pressing buttons and even launched ODIN again to see if it had an obvious option to reboot (without downloading a file). I'm afraid to pull the battery unless I hear that it's okay to do so. Please help!
You can simply hold the power button for 5-8 seconds until the phone turn off. You can also do a battery pull, but only if you're not flashing anything.
If you don't have the usb cable plugged in. I don't think it will go into Download mode.
Remember to release the Power button after you feel the phone vibrate once.

You can go into download mode at any time.

Atrix boot loop

I got an Atrix from a friend who was having problems with it.
I tried turning it on and it stays tuck in a boot loop with the "Dual Core Technology" screen.
I tried a couple of key combinations to see if I could get to fastboot but nothing works. So far I've tried the following combinations:
1. holding the volume up button while powering on
2. holding the volume down button while powering on
3. holding volume up + volume down while putting the battery in and then pressing the power button
4. holding volume up + volume down while putting the battery in and then letting go of volume down and pressing the power button
5. holding power and volume up button while putting the battery in
I also tried this. After holding down the volume up button and pressing the power button, i tried hitting the volume down button once and then hitting volume up, hitting it twice and then volume up, 3 times and volume up, etc. etc. and then plugging in the phone to the computer, just in case the fastboot menu was there but I couldn't see it, but that doesn't seem to work either.
As it stands right now, all I'm getting is the boot loop. The phone had been sitting around for a while so I'm not really sure what the history is so all I have to go off of is what I have in front of me.
I'd appreciate any help in the matter.
Can you tell more history of the phone?
Is it rooted?
Is the bootloader unlocked?
Which ROM is it running if it's running one?

I'm pretty sure its not rooted and almost certain its the stock rom but I have no idea about the bootloader. My friend is not very tech-savy so I'm guessing that the bootloader is locked.
I have no way to verify any of this. All I have at this point is the phone that sits looping at the "dual core technology" screen.
If you have any ideas about which way to proceed from here, I'd greatly appreciate it!
What exactly is happening (down to the last detail) when you boot while holding Vol(-)?

When I have the volume down button pressed while booting, the green led stays on for 4-5 seconds, then the phone boots to the dual core screen, it'll stay there for about 5-7 seconds, then go to the M logo with the ripples and then the screen goes black for a second and then it loops back to the dual core screen. Only, this time, there is no delay between the 'dual core technology' screen and the M logo with the ripples.
Try this:
1) Remove battery
2) Replace battery while holding volume down button
3) Navigate to recovery
Should get you out of the loop.

Maybe the easiest way to get make it work again would be to flash the original stock rom with RSDLite.
It's very easy, you just need to connect your phone via fastboot ( when powering on hold vol(-) key until it says fastboot), then press vol(+) and the computer will detect it.
Just remember to flash the correcto sbf for your phone, otherwise you will have another bootloop.

Where do I get the stock rom?
How about you do some searching on your own for a change?
This time search for fruitcakes. That's the stock ROM.

help phone died and will not power on

please give some advice. my phone died while receiving a text and i plugged it in to charge it displayed the red light that it was charging and then i pushed the power button to turn it on and it will not boot and it will not display the notification light that it is even charging. i was running the google edition 4.2.2 and had used htc unlock about a month ago and i haven't flashed anything since. if this helps i was using firefox a few days ago and it froze so i held the power button to turn it off and it took a good ten minutes and multiple times of holding the power button to turn back on. is there a power reset or something i can do since you cant remove the battery in this phone?
Plug phone into charger
Try holding down power and volume down until
Keep holding down, you'll see the back and home buttons light up. The screen should go black and then eventually go into hboot
From there you can reboot or go to recovery and reflash or do whatever
