This is soooo annoying, does anyone here get this error on some websites while browsing using the default shipped Android 2.2 browser?
Andriod browser dialog box mesg:
"Data connectivity problem
The page contains too many server redirects."
Example: http://www.yelp.com just does not work for me.
I am not sure if this is only happening to build 315 Dell Streaks. I did read somewhere else that going to build 318 fixes it, but I'd like to know how to fix this on 315 without going to 318.
Thanks in advance!

I get the same thing on stock 2.2 I have yet to figure out what it means or how to fix it.
You don't even have to root your phone to install baseband 318. As long as you are on baseband 305, 309, or 315 you won't even have to connect it to your computer.
Download (here is a Dell page with the link) the 318 file with your phone or with your computer and copy to the root of your SD Card. Browse to it with a file browser (you can use Quick Office) and tap on it.
If it doesn't do anything (if it does you'll be taken through the upgrade process) then rename the file to update.pkg.
Turn your phone off. Press the power button to turn your phone on and as soon as the LEDs light up hold BOTH volume buttons down. The phone will go into recovery mode. Use the volume controls to highlight the choice to install update.pkg and then press the camera button to select it.
The 318 update will be installed and your phone will reboot.
I believe that the second method will wipe your settings, so you'll have to set up your accounts and re-install your apps. When I did this I did a factory reset first so that I was doing the equivalent of a fresh install.
That's it - no drivers to install, no cables to connect (unless you copy the file to your phone with the cable), and you are technically running a stock phone.
This will not work if you have installed a custom recovery, you need a stock recovery on your phone to use an update.pkg. So this is perfect for those who don't want to mod their phone. You won't be able to tell the difference except that the redirect bug is gone.

DELL released a fix for this problem months ago on http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/mobile-devices/f/3824/t/19353639.aspx
Download this file http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_318_12821_00.pkg from the Streak's web browser, and then follow the instructions to apply the update.
I tried both ways listed here, unable to update.

Can you be more specific as to what happen when you try to upgrade? I just did the upgrade last night and did encounter a few problem myself but I got it done at the end so maybe I can be of help if you can be a little more specific about the problem.
Btw I'm on stock 318 update from above link and server re direct problem is gone
Worked like a charm, Thank you. All I did was download the file from my phone, then when it finished downloading I clicked on it from the notification bar and a menu poped up asking me to update and so I did. Now I no longer have that error poping up.
Sent from the phone killer of ALL phone's, Dell Streak!

i am also facing the same issue
I originally flashed my atrix with the "Home Base Version #4 (EXT3) Mega ORANGE-FR-1.3: OC 4.5.2a DeBlurred - Faux's 0.2.0 Kernel (Safe for AT&T and International users)" found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242721.
Today I accidentally factory reset my phone. Now my phone doesn't have a status bar, tells me that the phone app is not installed, I can't connect to wifi or else it gives me a force close error, my computer doesn't recognize it through usb and the phone gives me a force close error.
Really I'm just stuck now, unable to connect to blur, the internet, and my computer.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks.
did u try fast boot?
HELP VIDEO FOR ANDROID NEWBIES TO HELP THEM CHANGE ROM FROM 2.2 TO 2.3 CM7
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RULPBh4cDYU
On demand of some of the very new to android users, im posting a relatively easy to understood upgrade process from 2.2 froyo to 2.3 cm7(custom rom).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfnoUB8EFOI VIDEO LINK TO THE CM7 ROM DEMO
Remember both these roms(cm7 and miui) are rooted roms.It voids the warranty.
All credits given to the respective developers of the softwares/firmwares shown in this thread.Im just here to make the process more easy to understand.As developers say, DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK
CM7 FLASHABLE FILE- http://www.mediafire.com/?f90c9utsp8luknd
GOOGLEAPPS PACKAGE- http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
COPY BOTH THESE FILES ON TO UR SDCARD(SAME FOLDER OR SEPERATE FOLDERS) BEFORE U PROCEED ANY FURTHER!
Download this file CLOCKWORK MOD- http://www.mediafire.com/?4mio3rwhhmjw5aq
steps to load cwm recovery
1-Load dell drivers on ur pc which we call adb drivers which i found on my dell mem card folder named ADB_Tethering_Driver.U will find these drivers on this forum also if you dont have it in.
2-setuo fastboot mode on your dell handset
Setting up fastboot:
Turn Device off
Move ringer to UP position
Hold down Power and Volume Down
This will show fastboot mode is on.
3-Download and install cwm
How to Install CWM?
Start recovery.exe and Extract all files
U will see file named Install CWM.bat.
Run that file and now plug ur dell venue to usb cable(venue is still in fastboot mode as we did it before)
Follow instructions on the dos screen to make ur dell venue load cwm recovery.
Your DELL Venue will reboot after installation is finished
4-Then you can see DELL logo after reboot.
Immediate you press Volume UP+DOWN
5-Once you're in the CWM recovery before you flash the ROM zip, you need to :
a. Wipe data/Factory Reset
b. Wipe Cache Partition
c. Wipe Dalvik Cache
Use vul + - key to toggle the menu and go to INSTALL UPDATE option in that menu.Again on next screen u will be asked to choose update file selection.Option name i forgot may be "INSTALL UPDATE FROM SDCARD".
Select the CM7 file which you downloaded earlier and copied to sdcard.Select and click CAMERA button to start installation.It will take about a minute or two to complete installation.
5-As installation finishes, you will see the msg - UPDATE COMPLETED.Then u need to go back to the previous menu and select REBOOT SYSTEM NOW.Finish that step.
Thats done!You are into the world of smoother, faster , interactive dell venue cm7 2.3 rom!
You wont be able to cnnect to any of google applications at this time.
To enable google account and apps, u need to follow all the earlier steps and again go into the cwm recovery mode and install the GAAP packge which u have downloaded with cm7.The process will be same...update from sdcard,select gaap file and reboot.It should not be a big deal.
option2:Also u can go to cm7 settings menu and find option to boot into cwm recovery in dell phone itself(no need of pc to run cwm).However u need the GOOGLEAPPS FLASHABLE file on ur sdcard to flash it in cwm recovery in any case...option1 or option2.
Same process needs to be followed to install another update for ussd/mmi codes.
Download this package http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/misc/USSD Fix/update-USSDfix-2.zip and flash it in same way as gapps was done.This would solve ur problem of ussd codes( * # kind of calls) as well.
NOTES:
ONE MAY FACE REDUCED BATTERY BACKUP IN THIS CM7 ROM,
I HAVE FOUND A WAY FOR IT, BY USING SETCPU application WHICH COMES IN THIS ROM AS BUNDLED.
MY SETCPU SETTINGS ARE:
1-START ON BOOT CHECKED
2-PROFILES ENABLED CHECKED. TWO PROFILES ADDED FIRST IS "SCREEN OFF" SET TO "POWERSAVE" AND SECOND PROFILE "IN CALL" SET TO "CONSERVATIVE"
*IF U GET STUCK AT BOOT AFTER INSTALLING ZIP OF CM7 FILE FROM CWM, U SHUD SIMPLE FOLLOW 2 STEPS. DO AL DATA WIPE,CACHE WIPE AND DATA RESET.THEN FLASH CM7 AGAIN WITHOUT RESTARTING PHN.THIS WILL SOLVE BOOT LOOPING PROBLEM IF ARISES.
THESE SETTINGS GIVE ME EXTRA BATTERY BACKUP OF ABT 3/4HOURS.

Super cool and simple explaination quite helpful. Will try this.
But are there any bugs in this update?
Also if possible is there any rollback method if we get stuck or mobile bricks?
I did not find any bugs in cm7 as yet...havent tried miui rom yet.
CM7 is supercool rom.You would love it.Its 10times better than the 2.2 inbuilt rom dell give.
Rollback would require stockroms(which r available on his forum i think).
Unbricking method post is also given in this forum.Check and do the diligence at ur own risk.

took it to test today
used it as normal as i always do
but battery drain observed was high than stock
half a day by 3 noon my fone waz 20 %
unplugged at 7am
on stock at this time i would be 60 %
just use opera and whatsapp
any suggestions?
will clearing battery stats help?
heard it makes things worst
here are some suggestions:
1: in stock rom when wifi is on and connected to a router, and u went away from in wifi area, it will stop searching for wifi.When u will enter in same wifi zone again, u wont get auto connected to wifi.
Whereas in cm7, after leaving wifi area with wifi on(and connected), upon returning to wifi area again, u will find venue connected to that wifi network automatically.
This means wifi is continuously looking for connection in cm7 but not in stock rom.Make appropriate changes to try and enhance battery life.
2:SETCPu application
Use this application to save battery.I used it today and felt the difference.
3:Set brightness levels to zero rather than auto.
We have to change our habits of using phones to save battery.Thats a hard fact!
Above all should help though.

Was on your settings before I re formatted my cell.
Was going okish..
But when I reformatted it, made sure the battery was full and then wiped battery stats.
Now I am onn without setcpu, goes for 10 to 13 hrs max with few calls, whatsapp always on, mails, etc.
Will go on with this for a month. Then check with setcpu if it gives any difference.
Hi there, I'm new here and I need your help.
My ViewPad7 haven't an original <3e> recovery because i get it from another and it run cooked rom.
Now i want to back to the stock rom following here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601117 but it need an original <3e> recovery.
Could you kindly help me to get it, if you have a backup of original <3e> recovery from your ViewPad7, please send it for me.
Or you can backup your stock recovery follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015005 then help me.
Thank you so much. Sorry for my English.
Anyone, please help?
For Vpad7 - do you have the "older" non-ITE or "newer" ITE (multi-touch) screen - original/stock recovery image file or whatever?
If you aren't sure - post your Vpad7's production date, which is on the printed label on the back as that should help ...
I don't know about the 'non-ITE' or ITE screen of my device. Its production date is: 28-4 2011
Please help me!
Thanks Letitride
Based on device's production date, it's "most" likely an ITE device (there is nothing certain or definitive about it ...)
Okay, calvary to the rescue for fellow XDA's.
AS - please check your PM too (you got mail ...)

Restored & working w the "alternative" *.img as referenced in PM then, excellent & enjoy the Vpad7 - only wished it's a bit faster, overclocking or whatever. But, it is what it is and loved the 7" factor, much easier to slip into a pouch, pocket, jacket, etc. to take along.
Is there anybody with original Viewsonic firmware(v3_420) and with working internet thru mobile data?
i got the viewpad7 back to original with stock recovery that i extracted it from stock rom, thanks
Hello, sorry for bumping this thread but it is relevant to what I need.
EDIT: Moving to thread for visibility.
I recently rooted my Viewsonic Viewpad 7 and put on a custom ROM. I noticed that wifi was not working so I tried some fixes, which none of them worked. One of those fixes involved formatting the sd card. After formatting, I realized I made a huge mistake as my backups are now all gone.
So I have the clockwork recovery installed (v5.0.2.6) and I think it is causing problems. I tried using Software Update Tool L3 (SUT L3) in order to restore the firmware back to normal using the .nbo from the Viewsonic site but I think I need the original <3e> recovery. Whenever I try to recover using the tool, it reboots the device into Recovery mode and after a few minutes I get the error:
Error Code: 0xc60e
Error: Download fail,
Error = SE_ERR_SUT_DETECT_DEVICE_FAIL (0xC60E).
I believe this is because it is expecting the original 3e recovery and doesn't recognize the clockwork recovery. I tried to find a copy of the original recovery.img but I can't find it online anywhere. This thread is the closest I've gotten. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to fix this. Or if anyone has a copy of the original 3e recovery, it may help me out.
Thanks!

Are you using the "correct" factory *.nbo file with SUTL3 (which ver.) as it looked like your model is likely an ITE (newer) model ?
Can you boot the device into CWM Recovery mode now? Does it start up with the VS Android boot animation?
I will have to look for my backups as I've them on a backup server somewhere and/or in cloud storage ... will look & see what I have?
Haven't flash/done any factory restoration work on the Vpad7 in over a year+ now but, as I recall, flashing the *.nbo file via the PC with the factory update utility will wipe the device clean and restore it to factory fresh, locked mode so it should NOT matter what recovery you have on the device now.
Please describe in greater details the steps you took in trying to restore ... it's still a joy to go back to the Vpad7 but hard to let go of the new Nexus 7 quad-core "toy" these days for me ...
Thank you for your help.
I am pretty sure it is an ITE model. It's HWVer is 107, and I used this thread to help figure that out.
I downloaded firmware (.nbo) v3_420 and v3_62 from here. (Under Downloads > Drivers)
Here are the steps I took in order to try and restore.
I started off by enabling USB debugging and plugging in the tablet.
I opened up SUTL3 v1.7.9 and selected one of the firmwares (both yield same result). The update option I set to Erase user data. Once I hit next, it says Updating the Phone software, please wait.
The device restarts into recovery mode. The recovery menu title says CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6 which is a custom one I changed. I do not know how to get it back to the original as I have lost the backup.
After about a minute or so, I get
Error code: 0x4000
Error: Download fail,
Error = DEVICE_NOT_CONFIGURE (0x4000).
At this point when I retry using SUT L3 without leaving the recovery mode, I will only get the error from the previous post.
I'm not sure what my options are but my goal is to get back to the original ROM or get wifi working again on the current ROM. The current ROM I am using is CleanView Ice v1.3. I tried both the ITE version and non-ITE version and there seems to be no difference.
The only thing I seem to be able to do is Install ZIP from sdcard which lets me switch between custom ROMs but it doesnt fix the wifi problem or let me go back to original.
---
Edit: I tried doing the same thing a few more times with my antivirus disabled and it's still the same.
Also, I'm not sure if this will help at all but I tried to use the Synchronization tool that shows up on the PC when plugging in the device. It gave me the error "Can't access data on handheld! Please check the connection between desktop and handheld and at least enter Contacts once if you just clear your data!" These may be related as I have accessed Contacts and even added one in to test and this error comes up every time.
Maybe some kind of driver problem?

Okay, let's see - yours is ITE (UK-based) and running the same firmware as mine (USA) and v3_62 will work too, mine is on v3_420.
You still have working CWM 5.x on your device and can boot into it (small pin hole on the button to reset, etc.)
Okay, a # of points - the SUTL3 is run from the PC together with the *.nb0 file - running Windows XP or Vista, go the Command Prompt - Vpad7 drivers are already installed, give it a try - does it work as that will restore it to factory state - it should not need the Stock Recovery to flash it (I could be mistaken as it's been a while) Unpack the Zip file so that the utility will read the *.nb0 file directly.
First suggestio, however, is that if you have working CWM - my recommendation would be to flash from custom recovery, EUv1.7-ITE firmware in Zip file format - as linked here in Dropbox account of mine, OP/developer's link is no longer accessible or available. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/64025118/EUViewpad7v1.7b-ITE.zip
Download & transfer to mSD card, reboot into CWM, wipe dalvik cache, cache & system/full reset - then, flash the zip file and it should be done in about 10 minutes, be patient and go thru the Setup - if all goes well, your ITE device is back to life again. This is my preferred ROM and WiFi works well, if necessary - do a Master Reset again from the running Rom if necessary, reboot once & then setup your WiFi again.
Turn-off Antivirus & Firewall on the PC while flashing ... let me know whether you can get into the EU Rom as it will save you the extra work of going stock and rooting, etc. if your original challenge was just trying to get a good WiFi signal.
The previous times that I tried to install the .nbo files with SUT L3, I extracted them from the zip.
Also, I got firmwares on the UK site but I am Canadian. Most likely mine is also USA-based as many of our electronics are. I just could not find the files on the USA site.
I am running Windows 7 so some drivers installed automatically. I did use Setup.exe to install some other drivers but I have noticed no difference between the two times. Running setup.exe doesn't install anything anymore.
--
Here are the steps I took after your post:
I first transferred EUViewpad7v1.7b-ITE.zip to the microSD card and after rebooted into CWM-based Recovery. I wiped Dalvik cache, cache and "data/factory reset". I then flashed the .zip file and restarted the device after it finished loading.
I noticed the new intro logo so it seems switching the new ROM was a success.
I went into wireless and network settings and I turned on Wifi in the Wifi settings. The device scans for networks for about 30 seconds, then stops and displays "Unable to scan networks" and turns off.
I know for sure there are networks in the area and the wifi was working before I swapped to another ROM.
This is where I am currently stuck.
Again, thank you for your help.

Great, that's major progress - first, let's check & verify a few things and do it step-by-step:
Go to Settings - About phone - check that the following is same or similiar (they should be identical or almost)
Android 2.2.2
Baseband PR3.7_125
Kernel version Apps_2.6.32.9
Build number 4027_3_420
Check under Mobile network settings -
Data enabled (it should NOT matter, only if you are using a Sim card for voice and/or data in Canada)
Under WiFi settings -
WiFi - enabled, cycled it OFF and ON again, does it see various open and/or secured networks nearby
If NOT, press the soft "Menu" key on the lower right (in landscape mode) - it should open up & show "Scan" & "Advanced"
Can you do a manual "Scan" - make sure you have a known working WiFi, either secured or open (McDonalds/Starbuck or public library, etc.)
Next - open "Advanced"
Wi-Fi sleep policy (mine is set to "Never when plugged in" - try to temporary set it to "Never" for this purposes
MAC address - the unique ID for your device should be shown
Tap the WiFi network that you wanted to connect to - check its setting/status for Security, Signal strength, Link speed & IP address
If it previously connected but no longer worked, press "Forget" to delete it, and when it attempt to reconnect (if it is a secured one) - re-enter the password to see if you can connect.
For your restoration purposes, you might want to use WEP or WPA instead of WPA2, or even temporary changed your router to an "Open" WiFi so that any devices including the Vpad7 nearby can connect insecurely, assuming that your router is assigning DHCP automatically and giving out its IP address.
If NONE of these steps are working still, go back into WiFi settings and manually delete any and ALL saved stored networks (named) on the device, leaving just "Add Wi-Fi Network" as the only option.
Next, run a TB backup of your Apps if necessary and boot back into CWM, and do a Backup first to your mSD card (and cover it to a PC if necessary, as you can always restore it back instead of going thru flashing & Set-up) and you will have working boot.img (kernel) saved along with system, etc.
Exit and boot back to ADB (Android) Go to Settings - Privacy setting, and hit "Factory data reset" - next go first into CWM again, wipe dalvik cache & cache again, then continue with regular Setup including WiFi - your device should be able to pickup a nearby & strong WiFi signal.
If all these are still not working, you will likely need to get to a PC or laptop, earlier users had reported having issues with Win7 OS running, I would recommend borrowing/using one with Vista or XP-SP3 running, make sure the USB device drivers are automatically installed first and that it recognize the device. Then, reconnect and run SULT3 and flash the factory *.nb0 file - as I also suspect that there might be other hidden USB device drivers on your existing Win7 system that's casuing the *.nb0 installation to fail.
Keep me posted on your progress and any error messages or crashes (FC) encountered.
(Apparently, some of the custom Roms ended up "corrupting" the WiFi settings and codes, leaving residual settings that casued it to stop connecting to WiFi's - if you look & check some of the posting under "Development" (for some of the Rom's) - you will see some discussions about it. The EUv1.7 custom Rom (non-ITE was initially done and ITE later on) is among the better ones with few WiFi issues to speak of, 15+ months later, still relatively bug-free and updated all the Apps and add-ons of my own from Google Market (Play Store) automatically, with working Flash Player patched, and Angry Birds happily running along - the CPU is slow but with App2SD helping, not too bad for a device running Android 2.2.2 (Froyo)
I checked the settings in the About section and they are identical to the ones you posted.
I left Data enabled however I haven't inserted a SIM card throughout this whole process. I have no data plan anyways with the current SIM card I am going to put in.
Under the advanced settings in Wifi, I changed the sleep policy to Never and the MAC address says "Unavailable". So far there is still no result. I will try connecting in an area where I know there are open networks later today as I live in a public house where I have no access to the router's settings.
Also just a note about cycling Wifi ON and OFF, it automatically turns off after the message "Unable to scan for networks" shows up and no networks actually show up in the Wifi Networks section throughout the whole process. It stays empty even though there are networks around.
There are currently no stored wifi networks either so Add Wi-fi Network is the only option. I recieved this device from someone recently and I completely formatted the mSD card to start fresh so losing any sort of data is no problem to me.
---
I used the backup option in CWM to create another backup and after that I backed up the mSD card through USB to keep the working boot.img and other stuff onto the PC.
Under privacy settings I selected Factory Reset and let the device do its thing. I noticed the intro looked like normal however the Android's "theme" is still like the EUv1.7. I went into CWM and did a dalvik cache wipe along with a cache wipe and reset the device.
I tried the wifi again at this point and still no change.
I also tried SUT L3 with the .nbo and I yeild the same errors as before (0x4000 first time when using from Android screen, 0xC60E after the first time when using SUTL3 without leaving recovery mode).
--
I will test open wifi later today and I will edit the result. I'll also take a look at the discussion on wifi not working around the development forum. Thank you.
---
Edit:
I tested it out on some wifi networks without any protection and still none showed up.
I also noticed that if you right-click the Setup.exe icon in the taskbar after plugging in the Viewpad 7 it gives you the option to uninstall everything that the setup installed. I tried uninstalling and running SUT L3 but there was no difference. Also no difference after reinstalling, just so you know.

I started off by enabling USB debugging and plugging in the tablet.

I re-read some of the posts about flashing & restoring factory ROM, and it mentioned turning OFF USB debugging mode (from within the device's Settings - submenu) before -
If you want are ready to give up on this donated/given to you device, you might want to try this as a last resort - then, run SUTL3 with the *.nb0 file to restore it to factory stock condition - and hopefully, get the WiFi working.
From your last description of the error MSG - MAC address unavailable, the settings are definitely corrupted / damaged. Some of the Vpad7 owners had to RMA back to Viewsonic for repairs, obviously it is beyond the warranty and not worth the expense now with this "aging" Froyo OS.
The solution, as you probably read it by now, was to wipe clean & go back to stock, root it again and then try a different custom ROM ...

KWBR V4.2 custom Rom, still available for download, will work with ITE hardware - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386469
Since your CWM is still working, give it a try by flashing and perhaps it can get your WiFi working.
I ended up fixing the problem.
I downloaded PdaNet (PdaNetA350x64.exe) and installed it. I used it to get some drivers for the Viewpad 7 when plugging it in. After that, I replaced the custom recovery menu with an original recovery menu file. Once the recovery was back to normal, I tried running SUT L3 and using the v3_420 .nbo file. It worked fine that time and my device's software was back to default.
--
Afterward, I rooted it and put on a custom recovery menu again. This time I used EUViewpad7 v1.7b ITE version and it did not break my wifi. My original cell phone broke and this device will serve as a pretty good replacement for a little while.
Thanks again for your help, Letitride.
Here is an attempt to provide a definitive answer to what to do if your phone has the Bluetooth/Wifi hardware failure.
Note that some of the links don't seem to work with the xda-developer app or the Atrix built in browser. Please blame motorola, not me
Symptoms:
1) If your phone was set to try to use Wifi by default on boot:
Your phone boots into the OS but shortly afterwards freezes and reboots - and again and again.
2) If your phone boots with Wifi turned off:
Your phone boots into the OS and a few seconds after you enable the Wifi in settings or via a widget it shows "Error" and sometimes the phone reboots shortly afterwards. Bluetooth simply fails to work.
If you have warranty return it for a repair. If not the best you can get is to disable the Wifi and Bluetooth so the phone doesn't reboot and can be used with mobile data. Instructions for both are below:
Be sure it is the Bluetooth / Wifi hardware failure:
1) Are you running a custom ROM? - if yes go to 1.1, if no goto 2.
1.1) Reboot into recovery and make a backup.
1.2) Remove your SD card.
1.3) Reflash using RSD to stock - remember to get the right one for the right country!
Get RSD and drivers here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
Search for your stock firmware using google
Use RSD to install the stock firmware file which will replace the bootloader, recovery and radio - takes about 20 minutes.
Goto 2.
2) Reboot into Stock Android Recovery and reset to factory defaults
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/60620
2.1) Reboot to Android and try enabling wifi from settings - if it reports "Error" after a few seconds and your phone may reboot shortly afterwards it is the hardware fault. Proceed to 3.
3) Check your remaining warranty here:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/82507/p/30,6720,7898
Bottom left - enter your IMEI.
Warranty left goto 3.1 else goto 4.
3.1) Return to Motorola for repair - be sure you flashed back to stock first using instructions in 1.3
4) Unpalatable options are all that is left. Either pay or do without Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Have money and the desire to fix your Atrix ($110 in the USA)? Goto 4.1 else 5
4.1) Consider paying Motorola to repair the phone anyway. Schedule a repair here https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/82507/p/30,6720,7898
5) This is a complex process. Google is your friend. Unlock your phone using the instructions below. Note you have no warranty to lose (see 3)!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
5.1) Install romracers CWM custom recovery using moto-fastboot (or Android fastboot):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
5.2) Did you take a backup earlier? If yes go to 5.3. If no goto 6.
5.3) Reboot into CWM recovery and restore your backup. Note if you are stuck in a bootloop this will be ok in a bit. Goto 7.
6) Install your favourite ROM using CWM recovery from a SDCARD or by moto-fastboot. Goto 7.
7) Reboot into CWM recovery
7.1) Plug your phone into your PC (you might have to wait for the driver to enumerate the phone first)
7.2) Find or install adb on your computer (hint - it comes with the Android SDK and platform tools from earlier):
adb shell
mount /system
cd /system/lib/modules
mv dhd.ko dhd.ko2
reboot
8) When you install a new ROM or kernel goto 7. Every time.
This little setup moves the driver linux needs to try to talk to the wifi/bluetooth chip which has failed so it can't find it. If it can't find it then it doesn't try to talk to the dead Broadcom Bluetooth Wifi chip that prevents the reboot cycle happening.

Good job. Well said.
Considering how many posts I have seen after posting this solution perhaps it could be sticky?
I promise to maintain it.

Hmmm
I think I have done that correctly and flashed the 2.8 Neutrino GT. There was no reboot up to now. But I want to ask if there is a fix for WIFI 'ERROR' and BLUETOOTH error without 'ERROR' message?
Guys please. I can try anything I don't want to lose my phone Warranty is over. How can I find the Broadcom BCM4329 wireless and bluetooth chipset for atrix? So I can find a technician to change it with mine.
If you have the failure there isn't much to be done.
Ifixit has a teardown but the chip is a very small ball grid type thing which will be very hard to fix.
What are your symptoms precisely?

When I click on 'Turn on Wifi' button, It says 'Turning on Wifi' for 10 seconds and then 'Error' message comes up under the Wifi button and when I click on 'turn on bluetooth' it says 'turning on' but does not turn on. Same as wifi but without the 'error' message.
How can I fix this? I can't use wifi and bluetooth!
Nothing to be done. There is some discussion as to why but a chip in your phone made by broadcom which handles both wifi and Bluetooth has failed.
Short of replacing it requiring sophisticated soldering tools you are stuck. See the $110 Motorola warranty repair.
Sorry,

Im stuck.
I have applied the fix to NottachTrix4G rom. I still have the random reboots. I really need help.
Do you get the wifi error message or not?
Secondly does this happen with the normal, stock Motorola rom?
Matthew

When i check wifi does show error. I have not tried the stock moto rom yet.
The best thing to do is return to stock and do a factory reset
Carry out a full backup first (nandroid or using CWM recovery).
The best thing to do is return the atrix to stock and then do a factory rest.
If the problem persists then it is a hardware problem and you can now return it under warranty without them knowing (see the thread for instructions).
Otherwise you seem rather stuck. Perhaps buy an atrix with a smashed screen and transfer the motherboard?
Matthew
Noattachtrix rom was good, but not good enough.

I ended up using RomGb instead and that fix the bootloop after using NottachTrix4G Rom.
This happened to me Saturday November 17, 2012. Rebooting did not help. Did my searches and found this thread - and was bummed to read that it is due to a hardware issue. Fortunately, I persisted. With the WiFi widget endlessly spinning, I tried the Bluetooth, which would just fail and go to an off state. I elected to do a force close on any running applications one by one, testing Bluetooth after each. I found that BlueTooth and WiFi functionality would come back after force closing some apps. I stupidly left WiFi on and rebooted the phone - this put me in an endless reboot cycle. In the midst of one I managed to enable car dock mode which I have configured to disable WiFi and this got me out of the loop. I found my issue, which has the same symptoms as the above, was caused by a recent update to WeatherBug Elite. I uninstalled the program, and am back to normal operation. Hope this helps others.
Update - it appears my problems continue. Although I can now access BT & WiFi, the problem will re-occur. Force closing Weather version 2.2.2 usually will clear the issue, but I have had a good working WiFi sessions halt to Error. Still gotta think it's software rather than hardware.
Thanks I thought it was the ROM until I found this thread
Well, I was wrong. The issue is hardware not software. In my case pressing the volume down button would change the behavior sometimes, like get bluetooth to work, press volume down it stops or vice versa. Time for a replacement.
I mount the system successfully but when I type cd /system/lib/modules I get it cant find the directory, Please help. I need to do this to stop reboot!!
Definitely Software
I have atrix 4g. Running MROM 2013 2 13. I have the error on WIFI and NO Bluetooth. No reboot, but I rarely use the wifi enough to leave it on(conserve the batt). This is a software issue as far as I can tell as well.. I can fix it by killing the mrom service in "manage applications". If I get a chance I will look further but this seems like enough of a fix to not care.. MROM is pretty great besides this issue.(which appears to happen on multiple roms. My guess would be that it started with CM, but only because that is what the roms are based off of that get the problem.

Having the same issue. Wifi died after the phone fell off my hands. I had the CM10 ROM by ephinter and everything worked great except the wifi (no reboots). Then I had the AMAZING idea of installing a new ROM and the reboot loop started. EIther with any stock or custom ROM it continues to happen. Tried everything without success.
Have anyone tried disabling wifi in the settings.sqlite and see what happens?
jaunis I found out why mine was doing the boot loop and it is funny but very weird. I wiped the phone and put my cm7 back on there and forgot to activate my gmail account or any account for that case. Now I have been running it with no problems for 40 hours. But of course still no wifi. I am fine with that. but at least I am not dealing with the reboots.
I have an unlocked AT&T Atrix 4G with a custom ROM (Cyan 9.x & ICS 4.x). I started having WiFi issues where the device would reboot anytime I tried to enable the WiFi. This all started at least 6mo after installing the custom rom so I dont think its software related. To try and fix the issue I tried doing a data wipe factory reset, at this point I couldn't get past the welcome screen because WiFi didn't work and I dont have a SIM in the phone (my kid has been using it for games). So from here I decided to try and flash the phone back to stock using RSD Lite;
Be sure it is the Bluetooth / Wifi hardware failure:
1) Are you running a custom ROM? - if yes go to 1.1, if no goto 2.
1.1) Reboot into recovery and make a backup.
1.2) Remove your SD card.
1.3) Reflash using RSD to stock - remember to get the right one for the right country!

Goto 2.
2) Reboot into Stock Android Recovery and reset to factory defaults

I downloaded the AT&T 2.3.4 / 4.5.91 Service SBF which looks like this in RSDLite: 1ff-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-att-us-gas_na_olpsgbattspe_p011.sbf
I started the flash and left my phone for 15m or so to do its thing. When I came back my phone was boot looping (shown in a video here: http://youtu.be/V9wtBNEWRPQ ).
I can't do a factory reset from Stock Android Recovery (step 2 above), I can't get the menu for it. Now what do I do? Did I grab the wrong SBF file? Currently the only place I can grab SBF files at is here: http://www.das8nt.com/sbffiles.html
