Hi all,
Gave my bro an Atrix, rooted (Superclickone), unlocked, no other custom software/firmware on there.
He is in India.
He installed an OTA update and now has an Android logo, white triangle with a yellow exclamation mark. Can fix it with battery pull but it re-appears after a while.
What other details would you need to help me out?
Appreciate your help.
Regards

First off, this is the wrong place for this post; should be in the Q&A.
Second, to answer your question, he needs to flash a fresh 1.26 sbf and then use the retain root process before updating to 1.57.

I apologize for the wrong placement.
Not being really familiar with Android, are there 'flashing' directions someplace? Where can I get hold of the 1.26 'sbf' & what is retain root process?

Will this flashing affect the unlock? I didn't have any wifi issues before unlock; so I'm guessing I should be ok after unlock as well.

Does not update or flash
Hi,
I am not able to flash a fresh 1.26 on the phone. It says Failed.
I tried to go with the Gladroot tutorial but the 1.57 update fails as well.. while re-starting (during the update install) the phone gets stuck on the white triangle with yellow exclamation point (after about 25% of install).
Any ideas?
EDIT: I have the webtop hack in there.. is that the issue?

This is my 2nd post now. Didnt get any answers on my other one. So this is the deal, i got my phone on factory .26 and used gladroot to get to .52 with my root.
Everything has been find now the new update came out .83. I try to dl and install it from my phone and it reboots on install and the green android guy and an explamation point pop up. I have to restart after that and the phone is back to normal but with no update.
Can i have detailed instructions on how to update and get the root again?
Do i have to flash? and how do i go about doing that? please give me insight. THanks

umm its normal for it to show the android guy with the ! with int he triangle. jsut let it install and get root again with ginger break. let it finish do not interrupt it while it is updating. let it reboot by it self.
There are numerous threads in development that tell you how to flash to the 1.57 sbf file. Then I went to the motorola website and did the update to 1.83 from there.

Good morning everyone. I have a major technical issue with my phone after flashing to HKTW 2.3.4 and I am in dire need of assistance. I hope someone here can help me asap since I really need to use this phone.
So here is my issue. After flashing to 2.3.4 via Flash Recovery, I was greeted with an unusable touchscreen. Everything looked fine, however when I try to "touch" anything on the screen (keyboard, icons, menus, etc) I am forced to touch the opposite side of it, which means to click on an icon on the left side of the screen, i have to touch the right side of the screen. Similarly with the keyboard, to click a letter that's on the right side of the screen, I have to touch on the left side. I think the touchscreen is mirrored, probably for the Chinese characters?
But not only that, apparently, the 4 primary touch buttons (menu, home, return, search) are also reversed, thus having me to touch search in order to access menu.
I practically can't set up the phone due to this, and I didn't make a backup of /data prior to unlocking the phone (didnt know how to do so earlier). I have backups from TiBu but it's at home right now.
Is there anything I can do? Maybe change a setting via root explorer, or maybe through Flash recovery? Please someone help me.
Thanks,
Aqua
p.s. Moderators/Admins, I know I've posted this in several threads and I apologize for "spamming" but this is very urgent, so please don't delete this thread. Thank you.

Crap!! now it's stuck in a boot loop. After flashing 1.8.3, it attempts to boot, and after passing the att screen, the screen goes black and the red led continuously blinks. Afterwards it just reboots again. What should I do?
the cwm flash method seems to present this bug to several people. Now that you have flashed to 1.8.3, try going into recovery and doing a factory reset. If that does not do it, i would then try flashing either 1.8.3 or 2.3.4 via fastboot, by manually flashing the system and boot partitions. if neither suggestion works, then this problem is beyond my realm of expertise and youll have to wait on someone who knows what they are talking about to chime in.
Well, I now can't proceed nowhere. Apparently, I bricked my phone flashing back to 1.8.3. Now another ordeal to tackle. Gonna try Designgear's guide to recovering from a brick. Wish me luck

the same thing happened to me.. charge up your phone all the way and flash the 1.2.6 SBF. it took 2 seperate flashed for me, but it worked. and then i was able to proceed flashing 2.3.4 again

Now i'm in stock 1.83 froyo. Gonna do the unlock again, and proceed from there on. Not gonna do the 2.3.4 flash via CWM, will try a different method, hopefully it wont fail on me this time
what does bricking mean?

I guess i did a soft-brick? Not to argue with you, but based on several threads here on the forum, if the atrix is stuck boot-looping with the red led flashing rapidly, then it's considered bricked, but hey what do i know. All I care is I managed to get out of the predicament and proceed with trying to flash 2.3.4.
use the fastboot flash method, very clean and works great.
Success!!
I managed to get 2.3.4 without any issues (excluding whatever bugs there might be on this release). The touchscreen works perfectly fine without the crazy reversed touch or super sensitive responses.
After unlocking the phone using the pudding guide, I went and flashed the following through fastboot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139715
And it works like a charm. I am guessing either Tenfar's CWM or his flashable 2.3.4 release is buggy and did not want to work with mine. Or maybe I simply had to start from scratch (1.83 sbf) instead of continuing from my deodexed 1.83 *shrugs*. But yeah, things are looking much better now thank god.
Now, I will try to install Tenfar's CWM and this as well:

Any way to fix it its simply the phone keeps rebooting with a red light blinking and the M sign dual core stuck
Ive tried 2 methods but they didnt work!! :'(
Rsd method
and the abd method i didnt fully understand because im still nubbish
sbf should fix this, after flash is complete if it still bootloops your probably using a service sbf so will need to enter android recovery and manually clear data etc. to do this hold volume down while turning on device, then keep pressing it till it says android recovery, press volume up, then you have to tap the bottom right corner to show the options when the android logo appears
Hi all I am in the same boat I followed the briefmobile instructions http://briefmobile.com/download-android-2-3-4-gingerbread-for-motorola-atrix-4g

Can anybody help or post a topic that can lead me in the right direction

Try fixing permissions and rebooting always works for me. If it doesnt works maybe its the rom u are using cheq on its tread for buggs and fixes
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
if you keep having problems you can always just flash one of the RUUs and start the unlock process over.
Busybox won't install if you don't have superuser, re-root via hasoon's tool then try installing busybox, the wifi issue on the other hand is gonna require you to most likely flash back a stock RUU, or just try flashing any rom, see if that solves it.
relock the bootloader.
Backup the microSD card
Put the stock rom on the root folder of the SD card.
reboot into bootloader and let it install the stock rom. (it will erase the SD card i think).
Then re-root/re-unlock bootloader....flash away

Yes, flashing a ruu restores everything to complete stock, try rooting again, then install busybox, after that, get 4EXT recovery, should be able to install any rom from then.

Unlocked or not doesn't matter, just leave it unlocked.
I unlocked my bootloader but when I try to get into recovery I get a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside/overlapping with it. Does anyone know what's causing this/how to fix it? The current root method requires recovery, so I can't get rooted until I get this worked out.
EDIT: whoops, looks like this is in the wrong section. If someone wants to move this to the troubleshooting section that'd be awesome.
