Make sure you have the lastest cwm.if you have older version it will bootloop and just because you boot loop don't mean there is something wrong with your phone its something your doing wrong.

[Q] Help?

Hello, I have a noob question that might have been answered, How ever i cannot find any thing on here or the web. So if any one can help please let me know.
The problem: Rooted and unlocked bootloader. Flashed CM7 nightly 15 got infinite loop splash screen, So i re-wiped all catches and cleared system and tried fresh install through cwm recovery 4.0.1.4 and now all that will pop up is Moto start screen. I can still access recovery and had a friend charge my battery. I have no clue on why things are not working. Again I apologize if this has been answered before. If any one can help I would greatly appreciate it!

Flash RomRacer's latest CWM Recovery (in dev section). Boot into fastboot and fastboot -w, upon reboot enter Recovery, factory reset/wipe data, wipe cache partition & wipe dalvik cache. Flash CM7, then wipe cache partition & dalvik again before rebooting... report back.
That worked great, thank you very much!!!!

Atrix not booting past logo screen after Flashing

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Hmm, well that definitely rules out an outdated recovery, which is what usually causes people to get stuck at the bootlogo.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.

[Q] Help Phone Wont Boot Past AT&T Screen

Hi,
I just bought an AT&T SGS2. I began by rooting it, flashing cwm and trying to flash MIUI. But the phone would not boot up. So I downloaded ODIN one click back to stock and flashed that, but the phone still does not boot past the AT&T screen. I've tried flashing different roms from cwm none of which boot up.
Please point me in the right direction to get the phone to boot.
Thanks
Can you get into cwm? Id bet you didn't wipe before you flashed

+1 this.
boot into cwm>factory wipe data/factory>delete cache partition>delete dalvik cache> install zip from sdcard>pick your ROM...
Thanks guys wiping the all the caches did the trick. I didn't know it was a requirement for this phone. I came from a Captivate where is wasn't required to wipe everything.

He doesn't have CWM if he used the one-click back to stock, unless it failed and didn't flash a kernel. Stock kernel has 3e recovery.

Even on the Captivate, you had to wipe whenever flashing a new ROM. Returning to stock is, effectively, flashing a new ROM (the stock one).

stuck boot screen

Hello my friends.
I unlocked the BL and install the CWM. So i try to install a new ROM at my Atrix.
I made the installation of the Neutrino V1.4 GT, but after made the installation of the .zip , my atrix got stuck at the boot screen.
So i made the restore of the backup that I already made, and the smartphone starts ok.
After that i tried install other ROM , CM7-ICS-FINAL and I got the same stuck boot screen.
I found other Thread about that same problem, and the user found a solution but he forgot to post that solution, just wrote ''problem solve''.
Anyone know what can i make to install the ROM ? Thanks for your attention

You are most likely using an outdated CWM (my guess would be Tenfar's). If it doesn't support ext4 then any ROM based on CM7 will not boot. Either use the one that comes with ROM Manager, romracer's, or TWRP.

That would be my guess, the recovery.

Be sure to let us know if it worked in case anyone else with the same issue can find the answer much easier.

Hello my friends..
I made the install of the romracers recovery.. and i installed the ROM ( Neutrino ROM ).
But Now it gets to the boot up screen that says "Neutrino ROM ... system loading" the screen will black out for a couple seconds and then come right back to that screen in a loop. its been happening for about 15 minutes.
obs : I forgot to make the backup
Thanks for the help!
Did you use the recovery for the factory data reset and wipe cache/dalvik cache? You might want to try fastboot wipe as well.

hello my friend,
i just made the WIPE CACHE AND WIPE DALVIK CACHE and the install of the ROM.
When i saw the screen NEUTRINO I was happy, until the time the ''system loading" getting black out for a couple seconds and then come right back. I knew there was something wrong.
Now I will make the process again with the factory data reset and then i will post what happened
Thanks
MY FRIEND..
thanks for all the support! I made the again the process with the factory reset and now the ROM is installed correctly.
Let me ask a question. I want to install a new kernel to try the overclock 1.3GHZ. That new kernel can be installed with the romracers ?
Thanks for the attention
**HAPPY NEW YEAR

Yes, romracer is recommended. It is the only recovery that is specifically developed for the Atrix 4G. You could also try the TRWP Recovery but romracer's recovery is proven to work well and recommended by most.
Glad everything worked out.

[Q] Help for on old Atrix user

sent my wife's rooted atrix in for repair and they sent me back one with 4.5.141 i think it is. Now ive managed to get "unlocked" where it will flash when i boot and i have CWM installed on it but i cant get any rom to boot. I know im overlooking something simple probably but i cant seem to figure it out. If anyone could help i would really appreciate it. And yes i have searched but there is so much conflicting info on here now. Thanks in advance Could someone please give an old atrix user a hand?
I need to know a little more before I see if I can help.
1) Are you on the newest CWM recovery?
2) Did you put the zip file in the root of your storage?
3) Did you remember to wipe data, cache, dalvik before flashing the ROM?
4) What happens when you try to boot the phone up after flashing the ROM?
Sent from that Atrix... Motorola, where's my ICS?!
