Well if you're on Bell I don't think flashing to 1.26 would work because it's an AT&T SBF. I may be wrong, but that could be what's causing your bootloop. If you're on Bell, I would suggest flashing 2.1.1, and then installing CWM over that. That's what I have and it's been flawless. Hope this helps.

Its an unlocked ATT phone. Guess I should have stated that. I have no problem installing anything. Just finished the whole process going from 1.26->1.57->1.83->GINGERBREAK->CWM->webtop mod->gingerblur->steelbue theme. Lol. I wanted to know about the hard reset because I flashed a 1.83 sbf that didn't wipe. I didn't want to go all the way back to 1.26. I needed to be odexed to install the webtop mod.
Anyway, its all done now after a couple hours. Just wanted to know why does a hard reset in cwm always put me in a bootloop

Are you doing a factory reset before or after you install gingerblur? I've read that doing a factory reset before you install gingerblur can cause a bootloop.

After.... I read that too. So I did wipe right after flashing gingerblur without rebooting first. It would boot right to homescreen but after 5 or 6 seconds it dies and boots again. Cwm is unable to load after that point. Red is the only way out

That's weird. I have a Bell Atrix and have never had a problem like that. And because gingerblur is designed for the att atrix I have no idea why you be getting any of these issues.

Yep it weird for sure. Still waiting for the elites to chime in. It doesn't make sense to me. I have everything back, I would just like to know why it happens

Try installing a different ROM and see if you get the same problem. Maybe something is corrupt in your current ROM
Have you tried clearing your dalvik & regular cache?
Well I've never flashed a rom yet and I did wipe the cache and delvic I'm just running stock 2.3 ota should I flash a rom if so which one is most stable .

I'd recommend flashing romracers recovery then installing picrust from there. Since you're new to this, picrust should be a good place to start.
Good luck!

Well im not new to roms bootloaders or flashing I have had evo 4g I have rom racer recovery already so you guys think its a problem with the stock rom then?

Maybe the way its loaded onto your phone in particular is causing the problem. I've had the same rom on my phone and its international.

Well do u think it may have been the root process or unlock process what's weird is I can reboot today five time 0 issues them boom problem im just stumped but will take the advice and flash a rom is there a stock 2.3 rom avaible I kinda like stock android

Any help would greatly be appreciated and those that have helped thanks a million I have flashed red pill and restored with titanium backup and still same problems it booted up fine then I used it for about and hour then tried to power down and reboot stuck at att rethink posibble . Is there a way to remove root and lock then bootloader back for.
sent from unlocked rooted atrix.
Judging by your post it seems your Atrix is not turning on. That is an issue.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Well yes its a issue lol any idea how to fix I can make if turn on by wiping caches and factory reset then restore with titanium backups .then if runs and functions fine then craps out so your opinion hardware or software im within my 30 days AT&T may get it back I hope they don't notice the bootloader is unlocked though lol.
sent from unlocked rooted atrix.
Try fixing permissions through ROM manager, I find that when flashing a new ROM weird things happen and this usually fixes it. I'm hoping it's something as simple as that, because if not you may have a hardware problem.
you can prolly just go back to stock from a fruit cake and then start over .
Im going to try something this is getting old real quick. I want to turn my phone off sometimes just wish I new it would boot backup.

here's a tutorial on how to do it, but keep in mind that it's a factory restore. You'll lose root and other important info, you'll be back on the factory settings.

Won't really lose important info unless you need to data wipe to stop a boot loop
Sbf itself doesn't wipe data...just puts the system back to stock factory condition....
Most of time you will need to wipe data after sbf tho which of course wipes ya clean.....remember ....front to back (couldn't resist lol)

You know, I probably should've asked the op if he was able to get into the regular recovery and just doing a data wipe worked before doing a SBF.
I completely forgot to mention that.

Lol
I would have suggested sbf also
Whenever I've been stuck at m logo data wipe alone never helped...
Always had to sbf AND data wipe to get back

The worst I've had happen to me is getting stuck in a bootloop. I seriously freaked out and thought I seriously damaged my phone!! I just did a data wipe and all was good.
On a side note, the DX2 is actually my first smartphone. I originally got it out of desperation due to losing my old phone. And I always liked the look of the DX. The phone I had before was a LG enV2 on its last legs. LOL

Did you factory reset your phone after flashing? That seems like what your issue is...

Hi! I've searched on and off this forum, my husband and I are on the road all week and his phone had been rooted over a year ago by myself, no splashy roms and no problems. His screen froze so he booted, now stuck in bootloop. I have gone into recovrry but its not working. I'm hesitant to wipe data without computer access. He is active military and needs his phone. I will have computer access in the next few days. Please help!

If you can't get out of the boot loop without wiping data or sbf'ing there's nothing you can do but that. If you are in cwr you can try wiping delvik and cache but if not wiping data couldn't hurt since you'll lose everything doing an sbf anyway. Hope this helps

what do you mean, recovery is not working?
when you see android andy, you have to press both volume buttons
to continue to recovery options

Don't think she was saying that her recovery doesn't work, think she meant that going into didn't help. Although I am not sure what she thought just loading the recovery would accomplish?
Any who, GL!
sometimes wiping cache is enough to stop bootloop

This. Seems to always stop those little, alien like happenings regardless of the device.
I'm curious to know what exactly you tried to do in recovery -- did you try to restore a nandroid?

Hello, really hoping someone can help me with this. I have the locked bootloader 2.3.5 on my photon 4g. I rooted the device and installed bootstrap and tried flashing RockoDev's locked ROM. Before I did this, I did a nandroid backup of my stock ROM onto my SD card. I did a factory reset, wiped the cache and wiped the delvic cache all from the recovery menu before trying to flash the ROM. It said it was successful, however, I'm stuck at the Dual Core screen. Is there anyway I can get back into recovery to reload my nandroid backup I did?

The link to the solution you provided is for someone who is able to unlock their photon. The problem is I'm on the dreaded 2.3.5 that cannot be unlocked. I can get to the regular Android Recovery with the robot and triangle, I have tried wiping the cache partition and factory reset. I can access the apply update from sdcard option, but if I try to navigate to the clockworkmod/backup location, I see the nandroid backup I made, but it won't let me select the image. I'm assuming it's because I need a zip file. Is there anyway I can get the phone to boot up into CWM recovery using fastboot maybe?
I thought you were in a bootloop. Since factory reset didn't help, I had to follow this thread when I was in your same situation. I'm on the locked. 2.3.5 ota.
