need help, my phone is stuck in startup loop...i followed the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167373 i got down to this part - How to flash Gingerbread 2.3.4 via CWM recovery and when i tried to install the cwm from sdcard it said installation aborted so i tried from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169409
this - moto-fastboot flash system ORFR234-system.img everything went smoothly then it started up and was stuck in the loop...any help would be appreciated.
you need to enter fastboot and enter the following command
fastboot -w
That command will clear your user data. The bootloop is due to not clearing ur user data. You might have to reflash your system partition and before rebooting wipe your user data. Give it a try let me know if u need help.

Hello All,
i tried to install SBF ATT-2.3.4_Pudding_preroot and i get a Booting loop with the Motorola logo.
before the instillation i had a Unlocked, rooted Android 2.3.4FR version with CherryBlur 1.4D.
what i did is perform a full format of the phone with factory reset and full wipe (thru the recovery). now i get this boot looping and i dont have the recovery (i get "!" sign with Android icon.
PLEASE HELP !!!
Sounds like you have stock recovery. Did you try the lower right corner of the screen with the !, or might have to hit Vol up and vol down at the same time if you were on 2.3.4.. Hope this helps..
OK .. we have some progress
I did what you told me to, and i manage to arrive to the Android system recovery <3e>, ( Android system recovery utility).
and i have the following options :
1. Reboot system now
2. apply update from sdcard
3. wipe data/factory reset
4. wipe cache partition
what I need to choose ?

which Rom I need to install
i have the RSD protocol ( and i able to flesh from the RSD lite).
so which Rom I need to install ?
Problem Solved !!!
YEAH !!!!
i was able to solve the problem by using this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163342
and use the following commands :
Use the following commands to flash the images:
moto-fastboot flash boot boot.img
Use the following commands to wipe data and reboot:
moto-fastboot -w
moto-fastboot reboot
boot.img
- morfiux,
i'm in the same boat as you i think...
where did you get your boot.img ?
I'm gonna try what you tried and hope i have my atrix back
EDIT :: NEVERMIND :: I'm an idiot...
I've been shuffling through threads for the past 2 days trying to find a fix a no luck yet so i'm making my own noob post.
yesterday after flashing CM7 to my atrix, I was trying to install the Gapps package and after that install my phone wont boot past the logo screen.
Im still able to access fastboot and get into android recovery. I've tried to wipe everything and reinstall cm7 but still nothing.
i read that some people were able to get this issue resolved using command prompt and fastboot commands, but im totally lost when it comes to command prompt and couldn't get working correctly.
any suggestions or fixes would be greatly appreciated

Just to be clear:
1. You successfully booted into CM7 after installing it? Then you went to install gapps and couldn't get past the boot logo?
2. Or were you trying to install gapps right after flashing CM7 (i.e. stayed in recovery and did not boot into OS)?
i Successfully booted into cm7 then went back into recovery to install the gapps package and after that install it wouldnt boot past the logo

Hmm, well that definitely rules out an outdated recovery, which is what usually causes people to get stuck at the bootlogo. If you can't even re-install after wiping, then I would just restore a backup and start over.
Maybe try getting a fresh download of the gapps package. You may have possibly had a corrupted download?
Are you running CWM recovery or Rom Racer's? I had a problem where I was stuck at the boot logo while using CWM (latest one) but when I switched to Rom Racer's recovery and flashed everything worked.
I ended up having to use an older CWM recovery and wiping the phone and SD card with a lot of help from a friend of mine whos knows more about this than i do

How did you prep for the CM7 and GAPPS flash? If you did not wipe correctly, there was a first indication you might have problems.
How long did you wait after the phone first booted into CM7? If you rebooted as soon as the OS was up, that's more than likely your issue. You need to wait 10 minutes to let the phone build system files after flashing.
Also, an older CWM would have, if anything, caused more problems. If you had the latest ROM Manager or Romracer CWM then that was definitely not your problem, so your friend using an "older" CWM wasn't helping any.

I have run into this issue before when flashing any apps that update an app that is already there. I have found that a Dalvik wipe is needed before the flash. It is good practice to wipe Dalvik at least when flashing anything that changes the System Files. I also wipe the cache Partition before any flashes just to help mitigate issues like this.
Figured out that I posted in the wrong section(mods please remove that thread)
Ok guys..... newbie here .... literally I'm new to Boot unlocking, root, Flashing etc.
Anyway I have followed this forum for so long that I decided to take plunge yesterday and get my hands dirty.
Here is what I did:
Unlock bootloader, root and install recovery on my Atrix 4G. Atrix was @ 2.3.4 and 4.5.91 during unlocking & root(rooting & unlock from this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871)
Rebooted the phone and everything seems to be in place. Atrix loaded like the way I bought it 7 months back. No problem until now.
Also created a restore folder on my external SD. Worked fine and was successful in creating backup with time stamp
Now here are my steps and subsequent issues that I'm facing:
1. Downloaded CM9 zip file from this thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500535) along with Gapps to my external SD
2.Entered recovery mode during bootup and tried to flash CM9 and Gapps. Flashing seem to have gone well and completed (note I did not do clear data, clear cache or clear dalvik cache under advanced options being a newbie)
3. Reboot the phone and can only see red Moto logo and unlocked on top. Left for about 5 minutes and nothing happened.
4.Did a battery pull and entered recovery mode. wiped data, cache & cleared dalvik cache
5.Went to Install zip from sdcard option and tried to reflash CM9. Flashing seems to have gone well and completed
6. Reboot phone and again can only see Moto Red logo with unlock on top and nothing more.
7.Battery pull followed by recovery. But This time I tried to restore from my external SD. also wiped data, cache & dalvik cache
8.Restore took about 3 minutes and completed.
9.Reboot the phone. Now the phone boots and goes to Rethink possible screen and get sstuck.
10. Left it for 1 hr....nothing.
11.tried steps 7-9 again and still stuck in "Rethink possible" screen during boot.
12.Entered Recovery mode to try stable Nutrino ROM, same problem (stuck @ M logo screen which says unlocked)
13. Cleared data, cache and tried restore and now my phone boots up with flashing M screen.
What did I do wrong? Did I soft brick the phone? I can still enter recovery mode and read my internal and external SD and can see all files. i hope I didn't brick my phone doing this. If I did, I would regret!
Here are my options:
1.I know there is a way to hide 'unlock' during boot up (if someone can point to it obviously). Hide the 'unlock' and return the phone to ATT and tell them that phone would not boot after 2.3.6 update and get a refurbished one
Please let me know what your thoughts are. I'm currently crapping on my pants
Hmm... I would "fastboot -w", wipe cache/dalvik/data again, and try restoring your nandroid backup. (Or was that your Neutrino attempt?)
OR, do the wipe again and flash a 2.3.6 fruitcake to see if it boots normally. Just to see if there's some issue with your rom download or if it's really the phone.
The only way to hide the unlocked text is to flash an SBF using RSD Lite, which runs the risk of bricking your phone if you flash the wrong version.
Download a Fruitcake from here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009 and put it on your sdcard.
reboot to recovery
wipe dalvik
wipe cache
reboot to fastboot
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
fastboot reboot (to recovery)
flash ROM
reboot
Let your phone sit until it boots up completely, then let it sit for another 10 minutes. Remember, your phone can take 15 minutes to boot up the first time after flashing a ROM, especially if a new kernel was flashed with it.
Yeah I would try a fast boot wipe the whole shabang fastboot -w and then fastboot erase preinstall
Then also erase boot
System
Cache
Userdata
Web top
Then go into cwm and do the wipes you've been doing then flash the rom

Think I covered all that already, and fastboot -w just wipes cache and userdata anyway, so no need to do a fastboot -w. What I have in the post before you is the cleanest way to wipe and flash a new ROM.
Thank you....I haven't tried the soft brick fix yet.
But from reading one other thread which had similar problem, it looks like after installing romracer's CWM, things got fixed.

Will be trying this tomorrow.
Hmm.. this thread seems to be dead..

Yeah i know, but what i want to know if this method is compatible with a soft bricked atrix HD becaused there isn't much info about this particular phone on the web.

No. Totally unreleated hardware. There's an Atrix HD section you can ask in over here, which you clearly already knew about because you've already asked your question in it. Why spam over here? I'm sure somebody who actually knows the device you have will answer your question, but this is not the place to ask it.
Edit: But feel free to flash an Atrix SBF/Fruitcake on your Atrix HD if you'd like to actually brick it.

You should take your question back to the HD Thread, a discussion at this one is TOTALLY off topic for this thread due to the entire device being different.
Thanks!
