Messed up Flashing! Need Help!

I tried to follow all the steps but I think I screwed up and my phone just keeps resetting to the touch pro splash screen over and over again! I need to fix this. Sprint touch pro
Edit: I tried hard reset and no luck, I feel stupid but I don't want to replace the phone, sigh, I really need help!
I'm trying not to whine and I know this is my fault, but is there any fix at all?

Just flash back to Stock and start again.
you dont have to flash back to stock...just reflash to another rom...make sure that you get a cdma rom...sounds like you might have installed a gsm one...its happened to me before...
Yeah I did and thanks the advice worked and am now running a custom CDMA ROM and loving 6.5! I;ll be sure to be more careful in the future, thanks guys!

HKTW 2.3.4 Major Touch Bug!!

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.

Hi Neer, I will try that right now. If it fixes the issue, then something's wrong my flash to 2.3.4. I was hoping that I can resolve this without going backwards but I guess have no choice.

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
Successfully unbricked the phone via this guide: (just posting it in case some people encountered the same issue)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966648
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?
for the record a bricked device cannot be unbricked.

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:

Hopefully all will stay well
Thanks for all your help and suggestions guys/gals.

I Need a Froyo SBF Because I'm an Idiot.

Yep. Just got a new AT&T Atrix 4G online for a pretty reasonable price. I immediately rooted it and installed ROM Manager so I could install a better ROM instead of the stock Froyo it came with. Hadn't done an mod on an Atrix in a while, so naturally I spaced off UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER before starting. I'm such a knucklehead.
So yep... an hour after getting the phone I'm stuck with the good ol' phone frozen in "Failed to boot 2" thing (yes, I've tried pushing VolUp and also dropping out the battery and restarting).
IIRC, I might be able to fix it if I can flash a stock 2.2.2 SBF with RSDLite, but the problem is that I can't seem to find a Froyo SBF anywhere. All the links I find seem to be dead. Ideas on where to find one? Something else I can do to bring this thing back from the dead?
Any and all help appreciated.

Why Froyo? If you are going to flash an sbf might as well go GB.
All links in the post above are dead (thank SOPA and the FBI).

Can I do that? I was under the impression I needed to flash the same ROM I started with in order to fix the bootloader thing. No? If I can just flash GB, then awesome! :good:
My bad. I spaced out on the unlocking the bootloader part. Yes, Froyo183 would be best. It's in the link I provided.

OK. Thx. I can see the site from my browser, but I can't FTP in at the moment with FileZilla, so I'll give it a shot later. I'm assuming I want the 183-deodex SBF...
Really sorry dude...spaced out again...you are on Froyo 222 (sorry, it's late!). You want the file that starts with [ATT_2.2.2]. You can also access via web browser. No need to FTP.

OK. No worries... It's late here, too! :laugh:
The problem has been resolved. Thanks, upndwn4par!
Glad I could could help!
Just to be clear. Does the sbf "[ATT_2.2.2]OLYFR_U4_1.8.3_SIGNED_OLPSATTSPE_P013_HWolympus_1g_Service1FF.sbf.7z" on Sam's site have pudding? (btw, is there an md5?)
Sorry for the n00bish question. I couldn't find the "these files have pudding" sign. XD
If this file isn't pudding, would you mind pointing out the one that is?
I know that rsd is NOT (very much so) recommended but I'm comfortable using it under the proper conditions.
I also saw this thread but I'll leave my query to the above for now.
Thanks much!

sbf back to stock and do a factory/data reset (if it bootloops after sbf). then you should be good to go.
also it seems that that latest update is bricking lots of peoples phones!

I had a similar issue. Through a long list of things that I tried, I was able to get back in. However, WIFI does not work at all, and none of the fixes posted here have worked.
Did you have bootstrap and a backup prior? That would be helpful for you. Try cold booting through linux. If that alone doesn't work, here is what I did. I cold booted though linux to get in after using the us cellular SBF, then I was able to restore my backup. Again, this got me back into the phone, but no WIFI.
Not sure if that helps at all.

Sorry, I can't remember for sure. (and my wife is not letting me touch her phone, who can blame her) But I think it was vol. up and power until you get some words on the screen. Then scroll thought the options and select the correct one.
sorry, I'm a noob also, and I can't check right now.

ok... buddy....thanx for your reply....
I am going to copy/paste this.
This will recover from brick, when you are permanently locked on Photon after 2.3.5 OTA update.
Take USC_19 full sbf from 2.3.5 sv2 custom sbf thread, flash that, wipe data in recovery, root it, install bootstrap recovery.
After that, you can flash mof 2.3.5ish rom or my rom (locked).
Then install bootstrap recovery again, if it's not preinstalled there. And flash 254_13 modules. After that flash 2.3.5sv2 unbrick sbf with 254_13 boot, recovery and cdrom. If you have no radio service, flash 254_12 libmoto_ril.so.
Here is the thread he copied that from. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798145
Hopefully we both can solve our problems with that.
Thanx to u peetr_ sir..... great... help... nw my photon is perfectly workng....
