As long as your unlocked, boot into fastboot mode & install RomRacers CWM via fastboot. And then you can boot into android recovery and flash 2.3.4 fruitcake, and should be good to go after that.

Thank you so much dude ur a life saver
Hey folks,
I'm having some issues with my ATT Atrix. The phone keeps rebooting at the "Rethink Possible" screen. I bought this phone off of somebody on CL. I actually had the phone make it past the att screen a couple times. It made it to the setup up Motoblur screen but when I clicked start it just skipped it and takes me to the "Emergency Calls Only" screen. However the phone would just restart eventually at this screen as well. When the screen timed out I could not get the screen to turn back on at this point unless I unplugged the USB cord and plugged it back in. When the phone was on the Emergency Calls screen, my computer did recognize the phone and it did launch the motorola website. While I had the phone at this screen it did say that it had to force close android.process.com. I am coming from a captivate with rooting and flashing roms so I am familiar with Android. I am just trying to figure out where the problem could be with my Atrix. I am hoping somebody can point me in the right direction. Thanks for your time!
Your best bet will be to SBF that back to stock. Have you tried that yet? If not search for RSD Lite and SBF in the forums. There are several links and guides.
Is it unlocked?
I am not sure if it is unlocked as I cannot get past the emergency call screen. However, I will search SBF and research that option of setting it back to stock. I know when I flashed roms on the Captivate I would enter into recovery mode. I see in the Atrix that I would have to use Fastboot? The only reason I am worried about flashing a rom is that the phone reboots on its own so I would not want to hard brick it if it rebooted during a flash.
If it's unlocked you should see the word "unlocked" in the upper left corner of the boot logo screen, unless it was unlocked then flashed back or fruitcake in which case it will not say unlocked.
You should not have issues flashing from recovery if you have enough juice in your battery, which you maybe don't if you have been letting it sit rebooting. The rebooting is more than likely caused by an issue with a kernel, ROM, etc. Think of recovery as being similar to the BIOS on a PC. You enter into BIOS before the OS boots, etc., and this is before all the hardware has initialized and drivers have loaded, so the problem causing the reboots should not exist at that time. I would definitely try flashing a different ROM, and also a stock kernel.
It never said unlocked when I got the phone to turn on. I am having trouble getting the phone to turn on this time. I have downloaded RSD Lite and the 4.5.91 .sbf file to flash. I am just having trouble getting the phone started. Are there any ways to force the phone on. When I press the power button the green LED stays lit but nothing comes on the screen. When I plug into the charger it shows the moto symbol then goes to the Battery charging screen. Im not sure if the battery is correct because it says BHX5 1500mAh on the battery. Thanks for your help guys!
Update: I can get the phone into Fastboot and then Android Recovery Mode when the phone is plugged into the wall charger. However when I connect the phone to the computer via USB it just shows the green led when the phone is powered on. Anyway I can get the phone to boot into Fastboot while connected to the computer via USB?
Bump. Any way to get the phone to turn on when plugged into the computer or anyone know why there would be an issue of the phone turning on when plugged into the wall charger but only showing the green led when plugged into the computer? The battery shows 100% charged. Thanks
Update: I got the phone into RSD mode and flashed the 4.5.91 sbf but the phone only goes to the Emergency Call Screen. Is there anything else that can be done?

Did you fastboot -w before flashing the sbf? (Guess you don't really need to when flashing a sbf)
What may also help is flashing the boot.img file from whatever ROM you are using via fastboot.
Don't know if this will help, but it solves an issue when flashing to a different ROM from CM7, so maybe will help for you.
I know this might sound dumb, but do you have a sim card installed? Also, try to boot into recovery and just do a factory reset. @CaelanT already pointed out that this should be unnecessary since you flashed an sbf but it wouldn't hurt to try.

EDIT: I reread the OP and realized he had already tried to bypass the start screen.
That is not the correct battery. That is actually a battery used for the Droid X/X2. It seems they have pulled a switch-a-roo on you. (Probably because the Atrix battery could be used as an "Extended" battery in the DX/DX2) Anyways, it should still work but you can find the correct battery online, it should be a BH6X and should have a capacity of 1880/1930mAH.

Thanks for the reply. I tried to get the phone into recovery mode. I get to the Exclamation Point screen but it gives me no options for a factory reset. I saw that you have to touch the lower right hand side of the screen, but this doesn't do anything for me.
As far as flashing the boot.img file for the rom that I used. I flashed the stock 4.5.91 motorola rom. How can I find boot.img and would I flash it using RSD?
Also would it help if I flashed a custom rom instead of the stock Motorola 2.3.4 rom?
Could the battery not being the BH6X rom be the issue for it not getting enough power to stay on by itself?
Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it!
No, the sim card was not installed during the flash. However, I did install the sim card afterwards but the phone boots up and goes to the big green battery charging screen and does not go any further. However when the sim card is not plugged in I can get the phone to go to the Emergency Call screen.

The following are the instructions for flashing the boot.img. this was the solution to bootloops when trying to restore to a different ROM after CM7, but as I said previously, you never know if it will help or not:
1.Open up the Zip file of your current Blur ROM (Ninja, CherryBlur, Alien, etc.)
2.extract the boot.img file and copy to the directory where your fastboot is.
3.Pull phone battery & reinsert
4.Power on phone and go straight to Fastboot mode (Power + Vol Down)
5.Type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (exclude quotation marks)
6.Once flashed, reboot phone using "fastboot reboot"
Sorry, don't know how to extract the boot.img from a sbf. Did a quick search and couldn't find instructions. Not something I have done before. Maybe someone else can help with this. I don't even know if this will work, but anything is worth a shot when you are stuck.
<edit> Which CWM are you using?
You can flash Romracers via fastboot if you are not using it. This may help you get into recovery.
Update: I got the phone to recognize the sim card and make phone calls and get wifi active. But the phone still reboots by itself. I can use all the functions of the phone except it just reboots by itself. I got into the About phone section and it says
Android: 2.3.4
Kernel: [email protected] # 2
I can get into the Android Market as well as everything else. Could this be a hardware issue that causes the phone to reboot by itself within a minute or so?
Edit: I can get the vol up and down buttons to work while the phone is working but the power button is not responsive to let me power the phone off. Could a hardware issue with the power button be causing the constant reboot loop?
Update: I got the phone to function with the OS working just fine (phone calls, texts, emails, etc..) but it keeps restarting on its own. The power button still does not work however, could this be a hardware issue? Thanks
Never thought I will write about helping, but I do it.
I got photon which is not working well with pudding.
1. I can't flash normally 154 firmware. I get stuck on "Switching device to BP pass through mode" and I get black screen in the phone, pulling battery doesn't help somtimes, sometimes helps. I didn't get when it makes sense and phone boots.
2. Same message I get when I flash pudding. Same black screen. However pudding flashes normally, I can unlock bootloader. But I get another ****! When I choose reboot device or shutdown in CWM, in CM7 or CM9, I get black screen of death again. 5-20 battery repulling helps to boot phone again.
3. After flashing stock 198_7, with stock bootloader, I never have troubles with booting phone and there is no death screen on reboot/power off.
4. if I flash no pudding, i have no black screens.
5. If the phone was dead in black after reboot, and I don't pull the battery out, it'll use (still) battery and after night it may go from 100% to 0%.
6. Changing the battery didn't help.
Please help somebody!
are you factory resetting before flashing the sbf's if you dont they have a tendency to screw up also which rsd are you using?

I bricked my phone by Flashing pudding with RSD LITE before I unlock my bootloader. Someone told me I should flash pudding to unlock bootloader. Flashing procedure has failed and I got this at the end : http://tinypic.com/r/2lfk1/6
I was on gingerbread 4.5.91, rooted ATT device. I bought it from USA and I'm in Turkey now. I cant send it to warranty.
Is that a soft or hard brick? Can I fix it?! Please say yes.
Please, Help me! I am waiting your answers.
(I'm so noob about the phone, please tell me with more informations)
Does this look like a hard brick to you?
(If you can't tell, the answer is no.)

Wait, what SBF did you use? This **** is important.
i think you can still unlock your bootloader through fastboot,
and then flash system image..
Boot into fastboot mode and use the fastboot OEM unlock code from your computer, please read all the instructions in the pudding thread before panicking

Lol! Don't panic, I just got out of the same situation a few hours earlier. Get your atrix into fast boot mode by pressing power and vol up buttons while placing the battery. Then proceed to unlocking your bootloader. Flash a boot image to get your atrix to boot into OS again, follow this http://www.android-advice.com/2012/flash-the-motorola-atrix-4g-back-to-stock-4-5-91-rom/ if you break your wifi like I did, just follow "Alaq's" Moto-Fastboot: Stock Restore. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421522 or you can just flash the 2.3.6 from this https://sites.google.com/site/motosbf/atrix-sbf-files using rsd lite, open rsd lite, turn on your atrix and connect to your computer, you'll see rsd will still recognize your atrix, then flash the sbf file.

Eek. I'm not sure if you can solve this. If holding Power+Volume Down after the green light shines displays the word Fastboot, there might be hope.
Thanks

Exactly...I too tried to flash my phone, OS got corrupted and followed the same procedure to recover my phone, without any single data loss I got back my phone.
Main thing that we want to note while flashing the phone is Version of the flash file which we are trying to flash, if it is downgraded version then there is 80% of chance for OS corruption. so before flashing check the version.
It's a softbrick
get into fastboot using volume rocker keys.
use command line on windows
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot oem unlock ################
done.

Hello everyone.
I own Motorola Atrix 4g AT&T with 2.3.4 / 4.5.91 Build.
I have read every single thread about Unlocking the bootloader yet I still cannot do it.
First I tried directly the fastboot unlock command for unlocking it but I had an error saying that OEM Unlock is not implemented. Thats OK since the stock bootloader isnt unlockable. So I downloaded RSD Lite as well as the two SBF files (the small pudding and the huge pudding (full version) of AT&T unlockable/pre root) Here is where I got stuck! I have the drivers properly installed and I tried both Windows7 and WindowsXP still i cant get past the boot logo. Here is the situation.
I connect the Phone in RSD Mode. In RSD Lite it shows as NS Flash Olympus and stays connected. When I load the SBF file and press start it gets to 100%. Then phone reboots and RSD Lites says that its waiting for phone to re-enumeration and after a while it gets the error message: Phone[0000]: Phone did not re-enumerate after RAM-downloader was sent.. Phone is still stuck on the Moto Logo untill I remove the battery. If I remove the battery Phone starts.
Am I missing something?
As far as I remember, once you flash pudding the phone will indeed seem unusable. Immediately after flashing pudding you need to go into fastboot and run the oem unlock commands, then you need to flash a custom recovery, then boot into recovery and flash a custom ROM. You miss any of these steps and the phone will very likely not boot.

The problem is that i cannot flash pudding since I get an error message after the extracting process when the phone is suppose to reboot and flash itself. It just reboots and stays with Motorola logo (RSD Lites gives me the error) and phone freezes untill I remove battery. After that when I power on the phone it just loads normally.
So the problem is that I cannot flash pudding.... simply because phone dosnt reenumerate after reboot....
Bump ...
I want to add that the phone dosnt have backlight in boot menus (ak. background light is turned off but i can still see the options in boot menus)
Also I am not able to install OTA Updates I get a triangle on the screen and phone boots into os with failed to update message.
Else phone is fully functional. I havnet done anything except rooting the phone and doing the tethering and webtop over hdmi hack.
