[Q] Looking for assistance on flashing the bricked Atrix (alry searched) - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
This issue is a little bit different. I already searched for any thread that might fix my issue but no luck yet.
Issue started when trying to reformat the internal partition to 4096mb using Tenfar's CWM recovery. After that I rebooted the Atrix and got RSD err 1?? or something. I searched for solutions and tried to flash using the [GUIDE] Flash SBF to Motorola Atrix 4G from "kennethpenn. It failed half-way and stuck @ "swith BF mode failed" and giving the failed message.
Now the phone is out of battery and it's not charging at all. Not sure if RSD mode isn't allowed to charge or something.
When I connected AC Adapter to the phone and these are messages i have:
"Modem did not power up (2)"
"Starting RSD protocol support"
and with M logo in the center.
It will not do anything if i connected the Atrix the computer. Anyone knows how to fix this issue, please show me. I really really appreciate it. thanks in advance.
Daniel T

after 3 tries, I finally flashed the Atrix and got it working again. But i got odd screen issues. The Menu, Home, Back, and Search buttons are not working anymore. When I tap on something (button or letter from keyboard), I have to tap below the actual position (about 0.2 inch below) to work. Any suggestions on to how to fix it. thanks very much in advance.

I also tried that too but it's same issue. I think the issue is the screen itself. Got it replaced at AT&T store.

which sbf did you try to flash?

I heard of this happening with reformatting of the internal memory, but sadly I didn't see a resolution....

Lol I think tenfar should update hes thread underline that partition option will brick your phone...
Anyway you formatted your psd partition, so no buttons and no screencalibration.
Search the thread used tenfar recovery...
You need the psd.img dumped from github and push in your phone using adb dd command.
http://dev.gitbrew.org/~dasmoover/android/atrix/atrix-devkit-fs.tar.gz
Just take mmcblk0p3.img from atrix engeneering dump and push it
from a terminal (win or linux commands are the same, just remember usb debuggin on and that you are typing commands from the adb folder, place the file in the same folder)
adb push mmcblk0p3.img /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/mmcblk0p3.img
dd if=/data/local/tmp/mmcblk0p3.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
Reboot
I learnt it the hard way...

Try turning it on with the power button and the second you see any life hold down home.
I don't think this will work but it might be worth a try.
its already in recovery,you have adb debugging enabled before update?
Try this in a CMD Window..
adb devices
if it works you could be ok

copy ra_hero recovery onto the root of your sdcard
then...

or​adb shell flash_image recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.1.img
I cant remember which soryy, but one should work!
device not found
Hi! I am in the same s..t so I tried it all
some people managed to do this and get it working again :
-On the PC, i ran the command 'fastboot boot recoveryimage.img'.
-At this point the command says 'waiting for device' (or something like that).
-I removed the battery.
-I Connected USB.
-I inserted the battery.
-I booted the phone while holding the HOME key.
-The phone still froze at the first splash screen, but then suddenly, the waiting fastboot command detected the phone and booted the recovery image! Yay!
MINE IS EXACTLY LIKE THE YOUTUBE VIDEO and it didn't!
Any other sugestions?
[email protected]
yea i think u have different problems,his goes to recovery.yours is doing the same as my Sapphire which is being collected by HTC tomorrow for repair pressing HOME+POWER will not get to fastboot! it will take you too recovery
and finaly the FIX
finally some one knew how to fix my HERO!
a guy with a lot of electronics knowledge and a device that connected directly to the matherbord and wiped the rom and rewrote it!
rom gets stock if you are smart enough to flush it with the wrong update (CMDA ta a GSM phone)!
so that's the only solution for this kind of situations!
Thanks for all answers. But only kind to solved this is with JTAG to Motherboard.
Thanks!
same issue here
Hi everyone
I've got the same problem showed in that video. Could you guys help me out? Is JTAG the only way? My mobile simply can't be recognize on Windows and ADB just doesn't list the device...
I've tried every key button combination, but all I got is that Out of the Box image (seems like it's the background of the recovery mode or smthg)
I got my phone charged from USB (from my notebook) but windows doesn't recognize it, even if I dloaded the drivers for it.
Any suggestion would be of great help
Thx a bunch

Bricked my TF201 by changing build.prop

I have changed the build.prop of my rooted TF201 to play the gameloft games.
After changing the TF201 got stuck in a bootloop. I tried the hard reset but it is still not starting.
I read that it is possible to push the orginal build.prop to the TF201 via APX-Mode but i dont now how to do it.
My computer recognizes the TF201 as a Asus Transformer Prime APX mode or in MTP when i start it regular. Unfortunatly i can not get any access to the Data of my TF201.
Is Asus able to see the root and that i changed the build.prop if i sent it to RMA?
Would be so happy if anybody could help me.
Thank you.
(And i know it was stupid to change the build.prop but didnt expected to brick it http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gif)
Hi there.
I had a week of the same problem. I hadn't deleted anything but mine was in the boot loop too. After trying everything I managed to reinstall the OS by:
1. Downloading firmware from Asus site (it must be same or later version as installed already and must be the one for your region - if you don't know your current version, the small text described in step 4 below will tell you and step 4 can be done multiple times)
2. Freshly formatting a micro SD card with FAT
3. Placing the ZIP file (the zip inside the zip that Asus provide) in the root of SD CARD
4. Restarting the tablet by holding power and volume down until small text appears at top of screen at which point press volume up
Your tablet will boot from the SD card and reinstall your OS.
ALL DATA WILL BE LOST but you'll have a working tablet.
Cheers.

Can't you push the original build.prop via ADB Shell when it's almost booted up?
Code:
adb mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
adb push c:\...\build.prop /system/

Mine shows up, but only when "Camera (PTP)" is selected instead of "Media device (MTP)" in the "Settings >> Storage >> USB computer connection" section.
But of course, that won't help you in this case since you can't change this setting.
I can't find anything about having to switch to PTP for ADB to work so you may want to post a question about it in the Q&A forum.
A guy had the exact same problem here last week after changing the build.prop for the exact same reason. He was able to recover his problem using the same method that the root scripts use for writing to data. Let me try and find the thread and you can try to contact him.
EDIT: Here you go.

I actually dont know what version is on my Prime. I did the official update two weeks ago. So it is probably V9.4.2.11.
I have a app called "adb made easy" on my pc and this on can not find my device.
Does your device constantly reboot or does it stay at the boot animation?

It stays constantly in the boot animation.
and adb made easy doesn't have your device listed?
What if you "open CMD for ADB commands" and then in that window type "adb devices" without the quotation marks?
Also what does windows device manager show with regards to android devices?
EDIT: unplug and plug back in a couple of times, does windows make it's usual connection noises?

adb made easy and cmd dont show any adb devices.
the devices manager shows
mobile devices: Asus Android MTB Device (could not be started)
windows is always making the pluggingsound
Wierd, ADB should still see the device as it seemed to when the other guy screwed his build.prop
If I reboot, ADB picks up the device during the boot animation and lets me start interacting straight away.
EDIT: Unfortunately, without ADB, I'm not gonna be able to help any further. Hopefully the guy how recovered his from this state will pop in and be able to help you out.
When and where did you get the device from. If you're still in your return window and feel like being dishonest, then you could take it back to the shop and ask for a replacement. However, if it has to go back to ASUS, I'm fairly certain that they would pick this up straight away, I could be wrong though. They may just look at it see it doesn't boot, reflash it and then test it and send it back.

Any news Black Screen dont show download mode?
It's likely that you overwrote the partition that contained the download mode firmware.
You will probably have to send the phone to LG to get it fixed.
I have tried to contact the author of that article with information to fix it and a warning about how he's caused a bunch of people to hard brick their phones, but who knows if he even cares.

[Q] help with unlocking bootloader

I have read many times over now jcase method and have tried it twice now without success- clearly I am doing something wrong. I have working adb on my pc and all the prerequisite files in the correct directory. I seem to be going wrong at the "adb restore backup.ab" point- it says allow it to restore but in my terminal that process is very quick and the phone does nothing. Am I not waiting long enough?...and appears as if nothing else happens so I go to first terminal and stop it as directions say...but after that the next important 5 code steps say failed or file not found-is that what is supposed to happen?...I finish the remaining steps and then head to htc un unlock but it comes back FAILED Anyone with success have any tips?? I'm stumped...but not bricked...yet!
are you connected to the internet during that time ?
Allowing it to restore means to acknowledge it on the phone itself. Touch the appropriate button on the phone.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Unlock your phone and click the allow button.

And after touching the "allow" button,, be prepared to wait several minutes. That command is restoring a 300 mob for. It takes awhile.

Appreciate the help guys! So I should see a message on my phone that requires me to allow? That I did not see or do...sounds hopefull. I have been thinking my adb version was not supporting restore as when I did the restore step all I see is like a help screen, with no direction to allow, or continue or yes/no.....and yes I was connected to internet...should I not be? Won't be able to try this again till tonight but really appreciate the help!
After using the adb restore command, you should turn your phone screen on, and there should be a message waiting that is asking you to confirm that you want to restore.
If you aren't seeing that message after turning your phone screen on, then it sounds like your adb might be too old, our you got a bad download of backup.ab

Will check all this stuff out, all sounds like it's pointing me in the right direction and I am a bit complsive so I will get there sooner or later, any other thoughts will be greatly appreciated and investigated...I think my files are where they are supposed to be BUT I will check and re-check
try it and let us know dude ..do not proceed until you are sure backup is done
Ok...some success, did it in win 8 but I think it was my version of adb that was the problem..not version of windows or files-however I had a zillion files and shortcuts on 7 and I was getting confused so I switched.
I did now get the backup to run, unlocked and allowed on phone...let it finish and all seemed great but last step before reboot...the "adb shell dd if=/sdcard/CIDBLOCK.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5" code returned something like permission denied? Anyway I did reboot and did try for the hell of it, to unlock at HTC...but of course It FAILED. I did not factory reset this time so I am thinking maybe that's the problem and will try again later. Any other thoughts on this demise?
Maybe windows 8 is the problem

Could be except that it did work up to that (almost) last step...I did read to factory reboot before trying again but I did not...mostly because I was lazy...but also because the image files were already in my phone storage anyway and that,s what the first few steps do...I started from backup.ab code part so I will do the whole deal over...later-burned at the moment.

However it didn't boot properly,i.e. only the grey logo showed up, then black screen. No bootloop.
Then I thought factory reset would fix it?
no. now the pc doesn't recognise it. Please help! Same grey logo stuff but no PC recognition.
Edit:
No luck yet, but I remember a way I did before.It's not quite the same situation but...
I left the kindle on for a long time, and pressed the power button beyond the point from where it showed out of battery screen. It had like no batterypower at ALL. Yhen i plugged back up to PC and...

Man any ideas?
Thanks
Hashcode and I have talked about it. There IS a working fastboot, but you can't get to it with a fastboot cable, and it's very buggy and not too useful. So it sounds like you are SOL. Sorry. :/

Hi,
I was in the same situation. Luckily, the Kindle was semi-recognized with Linux (adb devices shows ??????? with no permissions), I just had to add the udev rules to allow the device listed in lsusb and then I was able to chmod build.prop to get everything back to work.
Hope it helps

I didn't, though you should try my solution (I'd got a black screen after the grey logo).
I'm sorry but I won't try the factory reset to see if it works

Connect your device to your computer.
By typing "adb devices", you should get this output :
Code:
List of devices attached
???????????? no permissions
Then type "lsusb" and note the ID of the Google Device (Should be 18d1:0001, but I'm not sure you will get the same).
Edit the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules" and add the following lines (If the file doesn't exists create it). Replace 18d1 and 0001 with the values you get in lsusb :
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1",ATTR{idProduct}=="0001",SYMLINK+="android_adb"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1",ATTR{idProduct}=="0001",SYMLINK+="android_fastboot"
Run "sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules".
Restart your computer and you should be access your device using "adb shell".
Follow this post to restore your device : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53388919&postcount=23
