Restart Loop - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't post this in the development forum, so I am posting it here.
I followed these directions: http://briefmobile.com/atrix-4g-rom-installation-guide from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991595
Now my phone is in a restart loop. It will load the red Motorola logo, then the green Motorola label, gets into the "setup your phone" screens, then it waits approximately 60 seconds and restarts. I can't make it stop and I can't figure out how to access the CWM recovery from the powerbutton + volume button combinations to try and reflash.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Make sure you're plugged in to use CWM
If you cant get into it, you should be able to get into RSD mode and flash a fresh 1.83 sbf
or get into standard recovery and wipe data/factory rest

Thanks for your input - it did help!
For anyone else that finds this thread, here is what I did to fix my phone (more or less):
Removed battery
Put battery back in
Held "volume down" button until "fast boot" appeared on the screen
scrolled (via volume down - NOT volume up) to "Android Recovery"
Pressed the Volume Up Button to "click" it
Waited for it to load and touched the bottom right hand corner of the screen (hidden button that toggles showing/hiding all of the menus)
Used that to clear cache and userdata
Restarted
Phone worked!
I couldn't get RSD mode to work, though, but this method did work.

I tried to sbf and is not working please help.

My phone started to act up after i went from cm7 to 9, maybe i did not do it right. Today, i went back to cm7 to stop the problems, but i had the same exact problems and it only got worse. I tried to sbf back to i think 2.3.4, and i have done a sbf before and did the samething i did last time. Now, i am stuck in a boot loop. I think the problem is that when i did the sbf it had no details about my phone. Please tell me what i should do.
Did you wipe data? I have never sbf'd but I've read that bootloops are common and wiping data usually fixes it.
From Moonshadow:
17. Whether or not your phone boot loops at this time, I HIGHLY recommend performing a factory reset from the Android Recovery menu. This is also the process of fixing the boot loop.
a. Pull the battery.
b. Plug the battery back in.
c. Power up your phone by pressing and holding the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON and then pressing the POWER BUTTON until you see the words FASTBOOT (in white) at the top of the DX2’s screen. This should only take about 3-5 seconds.
d. Press the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON 7 times, or until you see the words ANDROID RECOVERY.
e. Press the VOLUME UP BUTTON and the screen will add “Entering Android Recovery” under the words ANDROID RECOVERY.
f. In about 5-7 seconds, you should see a white triangle with a yellow exclamation point in the middle and a little android down and to the right of the triangle.
g. Press both volume buttons at once.
h. The Android system recovery utility (second line of text) will come up.
i. Press the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON until “wipe data/factory reset” is highlighted.
j. Press the power button to start the process.
k. Once the wipe data/factory reset process has completed, press the VOLUME UP BUTTON until reboot is highlighted.
99% of the time I have not wiped data and cache after an sbf I boot loop and I am guessing that's the issue just pop into android recovery wipe those two and reboot it will take a few minutes for the first boot as usual but should be good after that

hatka flashed issue

i recently tried to flash hatka battery life after reading a guide, saying it was okay to flash the rom first now i am stuck with my droid dna not being able to turn off and only restarting. can someone please help me i am able to get to lockscreen and settings but the screen is black and i get android htcdialer has stopped when it opens. whenever i try to adb it says error
If your phone is frozen on a particular screen, keep holding down the power button, you will see your bottom 3 icons flash repeatedly, Keep holding the power button until it powers off (restarts), the hold time varies-sometimes you need to repeat this process. Once off (actually restarting), hold the volume down key in and it will re boot into fastboot/recovery, you can scroll to recovery and then restore (hope you have a backup)

[Q] Lenovo P780 enters Boot Loop after Factory Reset

From couple of days ago I started to get popups saying "android ____ .com" or something and every time I clicked OK the message would pop up again not letting me press anything but the OK button continuesly.. so I powered off the phone
I powered back up again and my phone wouldn't boot anymore. The screen said "Encryption Unsuccessful" and then there was a "Factory Reset" button right below - nothing happens when I clicked it
So I went on and performed a factory reset by entering recovery mode (power button + volume up + volume down) and after it didn't work I went back to recovery mode and tried "clear cache" which didn't work so I then went to factory mode (power button + volume up) and cleared data by selecting MMC or something (it was in chinese)
What happens next is, the phone enters a boot loop. It boots, shows the Lenovo logo, then turns off, then boots again, Lenovo logo, turns off, and so on. I wasn't even able to turn off the phone so I clicked that red reset button at the back
I didn't try removing the battery or SD card
How do I go from here?

HELP! Blue Wave 8 33GT tablet stuck in recovery mode with "No command" message

HELP! Blue Wave 8 33GT tablet stuck in recovery mode with "No command" message
I got my Blue Wave 8 33GT (not HD+) tablet completely bricked. First of all, I know this is not really a popular device and some of you might not have a single knowledge about this one, but I hope in any way you might help me get this device working again. Thank you in advance!
Some info about this device:
Bluewave's website: Wave 8
Android OS version: 4.4 KitKat
Device processor: Rockchip-based (RK31)
What just happened? It suddenly reboots while I'm playing and gone into recovery mode with an Android and a "No command." message. Now it won't boot the system anymore whenever I reboot, it always going into this recovery mode.
It has no volume buttons, just a reset, a hard back button and power button. Holding down the power and back button goes into the recovery mode directly. Through normal boot, it flashes the Bluewave logo twice then goes into the recovery. While the reset button immediately turn the device off. There's nothing else I can think of that I can do in this case.
My laptop can recognize it as an ADB Device in recovery mode and I think I may be able to flash it via Rockchip BatchTool, but the instructions I've read states that the device should be up and with a USB debugging enabled which I am not currently able to do in recovery mode. Device is rooted and working totally fine until this happened.
Anyone got into this kind of problem and able to go through it? Please, any help is greatly appreciated.
P.S
Just let me know if there are any additional info I could give you.

Hey! Thanks for your reply and time.
I tried every combination of either of the two keys but there is no such recovery menu showing up, and I am pretty sure that this device doesn't have a built-in recovery for factory reset.
If only I could go to its download mode stuff to be able to flash the firmware...

"Long press the power button to restart the device. If restarting fails, hard reset the tablet by poking the Reset hole using a pin. " it is from FAQ
maybe this could help.
1. Press the power button to get the option menu for
Power off
Reboot
Silence phone option.
2. on that menu you have to hold down that power off option on your touch screen while also holding down the home push button on the side of your tablet.
3. This brings up a screen to reboot into safe mode..(these are the 3 steps the company does not tell you that is why no one gets it to work.
4. HIt yes for safe mode and then hold down your power and home buttons on side of tablet till the dopo Logo appears.
5. Release both buttons and hit the power button one time and then hold only the home button down till a menu option appears.
6. Use the home button to move down to factory reset and press the power button to select. Once it says complete then use the power button to select reboot.
Problem solved. Hope this will help everyone out.
The only way is to remove the battery, attached again the battery then power it on their is no hard reset on blue wave the go to settings factory reset

Any System Update = Constant Fail - Fastboot Screen

Hi All,
I'll explain this as clearly and simply as possible and hopefully someone can help
My oem 3T ran out of power, plugged into dash charger and no led, power button held down for 10secs and entered fastboot, got to some options by holding power and volume down, but none of the recovery,wiping cache,delete everything options worked (would always go back to fastboot)
I ended up following the unbrick tutorial on here (link - https://forum.xda-developers.com/one...us-3t-t3515306)
and got it back to factory state, HOWEVER, I cannot update the OS without it going into fastboot, if I THEN turn off and turn back on holding volume down it doesn't take me back to all the options I had (wiping cache, reset system settings ect) but shows me the android logo/loading screen with something like this in yellow text:
>>>> changing to aging
then I'm back to the original state before I tried to update the OS.
Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated!
I think I've discovered the problem! - my volume button is stuck on up also!!
didn't realise this with the power button held makes the phone enter fastboot mode is any case
