installed update now stuck in starting RSD - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not sure what to do, this morning I went to settings, about phone and updated it.
When the phone rebooted it said failed to boot 2, starting RSD mode.
If I pull the battery it will boot up fine, but it auto shuts off after 30-45 seconds.
I'm totally new to these phones, I know my Friend "rooted" it for me and it has superuser.
I joined this site to ask for help thought, because I'm under the impressing it is the best.

If you can enter recovery mode (Google how to do it on your phone if you don't know) just wipe cache, then enter into advanced mode & then wipe dev cache, then reflash the current rom you were using before this happened. If this doesn't work follow the wipe steps again above & also do a factory reset then reboot & this may solve your problem?
Hope this helps

I had a similar happen to my phone what you are going to need todo is flash templates recovery and install a custom rim. This is what worked for me and you can find the instructions needed on the development forum.

Because I'm a newbie I can't post an actual link.
Thanks for the input guys.
It did put it on 2.2.1 I think I was on 2.2.2, at least the phone works fine now.
But
I'm looking into the new gingerbread update...

Glad you where able to get it all worked out.

I flashed the alien 3 rom and theme and now my camera is gone

Yesterday I flashed and when I was done I realized double tapping home wasn't pulling up my cam. I checked the apps its not even there; did I make a mistake along the way? And can I get it back without flashing again? This is the first time I flashed a rom I've been rooted with bootloader unlocked for a while but never tried it til now. Also since im already bothering people is there a way to play netflix on a tv through the hdmi cable?

Have you tried a fresh reflash of the ROM? It has a camera because I have the ROM also.
Sent from my ATRIX 4G XDA Premium App
I had the same problem too, but it was because I didn't wipe data in cwm. I tried the rom that saves data so I thought I wouldn't have to wipe data. I wiped data after I installed the rom (before the theme) and the d3 camera was there, but you lose everything in data.

if you're coming from anything but alien 2 you're best bet is to wipe, and use the wipe version as well for good measure
Thanks for the input I will wipe and try again sorry I didn't answer sooner I left for vacation but im in the hotel now with a little down time so ill give it a go. Thanks everyone!

^ this. and / or use the fastboot wipe, boot the phone into fastboot mode, hook it up to computer, open a command line prompt, navigate to your fastboot folder, and type fastboot -w to wipe all. Some people claim this is equal to or better than the wipe with CWM. I do all.
Thanks for all the input and wiping through fastboot did clear it so my cameras working but now I have other issues I can't lock my phone even though my fingerprint scanner is setup it has no security it turns on with no prompt, my home button doesn't work anymore, and it seems I can't mount the drives to my pc with the Usb cable. Should I try a fresh flash again. ive realized i cant cwm cause it wont find my external sd

[Q] Nothing works, how can I flash a rom so it will?

So I wiped everything through cwm recovery and then rebooted to find that I hadnt put the rom on my device anywhere to flash... ROM Manager is gone and now I cant access the internet or use any applications whatsoever. Can I dl ROM mgr to my cpu and install it through fastboot or RSD lite?
It still says unlocked and superuser seems to be opening as well as my camera but nothing else is installed or working. My CPU recognizes it and I can drop files in it as well as run fastboot.
What do I use or how do I get a full ROM back on it so everything will work again?

1. Download ROM you like
2. Copy to SD card
3. Boot to recovery mode (ROM manager not needed)
4. Install ROM
5. ???
6. Profit
Not that hard. A quick search might have helped.
I have been searching for 3 hours to get a confirmation of how to actually do this, i was almost there. Maybe I should have posted that tid bit as well...?

Got everything working again, thanks guys. Now I need to see why this rom keeps giving me force closes...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
If your getting force closes after a new tim ibstallation I like to boot into android recovery from the boot screen then I wipe cache and wipe dalvik then wipe data/ factory reset... then reboot... the boot screen will load and you should be good to go.. I was experiencing problems after installing red pill I performed those operations after I installed red pill and it worked fine.. ****** remember the most important step is to back up your original settings to your *****external sd card*****!!! Be careful when you go to factory reset/ wipe data because I noticed the latest version of century for ATRIX gives you the option to delete the sd card contents as well. Hope this helps... if you need more help I will try to help the best as I can... I've noticed alot of people on cds are like pros... they give the technical instructions... where as newer android users need the more basic approach.

[Q] Atrix will only boot if Honeyatrix is installed

(SOLVED) hello neighbors. I am having an issue... my atrix will only boot if i install honey atrix on it. i have tried many other roms. many different times. i have wiped all data cache partitions, dalvik, battery stats, formatted system, dat, cache. And still i can get nothing to boot besides Honeyatrix rom.
it seems to load them from the zip file ok just wont boot past the unlock dual core screen. i have let it set for 10-20 min to see if it will boot and nothing.
i had recieved this under warranty and it was shipped with the new 2.3.6. 4.5.91 and i rooted and unlocked using the unlock tool v.4.
any help with this would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance,
SErooted
Try a full wipe with fastboot before flashing. Also may need to flash appropriate kernel. What ROM's have you tried?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
ive tried cherry pie, algorythm, cm7, neutrino, miui many of them, and i have never had this problem with my other atrix. just this one doesnt seem to be want todo anything but this one rom. and i have done a full wipe in moto fastboot as well. i forgot to mention it earlier.

your recovery is the problem install rom manager from market and update cwm or try romracer recovery.
Could also be the baseband radio. If that doesn't fix, looks like its time for the dreaded sbf.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
I would also use the latest romracer recovery or twrp from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400641. Also be sure to use appropriate kernel for the rom you are flashing and try the stock clocked kernels first. Good luck.

hmmmm I wondering on this one if his internal might be mal-partitioned.. I had this problem and was cured using mini tool partition wizard. Start off by making sure all's formatted fat 32 primary. Once you're assured of that, format again, fastboot - w and reinstall something like neutrino. Twice for good measure. Boot it , wait 60 seconds, pull battery and reboot.

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Stock recovery PG05IMG.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/PG05IMG-Stock-Recovery.zip
Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
I'm really scared of making things worse than they already are. I just want a working phone.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

Right. I also have a recovery zip that installs the stock recovery if anyone wants it?
It can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/OTARestoreAndRecovery.zip
(warning: I have tested it and it works but it did cause me a bootloop, and im assuming this is becuase im on a different rom - - - so not responsible for any damages)

[Q] HTC One X Plus Stuck In Bootloop ... HELP

So my HTC One X Plus is stuck in bootloop. Here is what happened. I just got the phone and the first thing I did was unlock it. Everything was fine. Next I went to root it using RootBootV5. Here is where the issue came up. At the end of the root process my phone should have loaded the lock screen. Instead it just sat on the White HTC quietly brilliant. Stayed that way for hours.
So i rebooted into bootloader and tried everything I can possibly think of to fix it, Factory Reset, Fastboot Erase Cache, even folloed this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1609190.
Nothing is working and I don't know what to do. I don't think the phone was successfully rooted so i cant simply flash a new rom. Also recovery is not working, just a black screen.
PLEASE HELP.
You can try to reflash a recovery using fastboot. If you can do that maybe you can flash another rom. Also, wern't you able to wipe cache at all because of the black screen?

Thanks! I was looking for a program like that.
Had it too this morning... I had the wrong kernel installed. I'm using this and additionally installed this
Turn your phone off and then on with the vol-down button pressed,enter fastboot,connect it to your pc (will switch to fastboot USB) and use (from sdk) fastboot-command 'fastboot boot boot boot-BLADE-CM10-201212092302.img" to update the kernel. Hope this helps.

Similar issue, details a bit different
Phone: HTC One X+
Carrier: ATT
Rooted: Never, stock phone
Previous Research: I searched the forums and found similar issues, but mostly only for rooted phones, to which this does not apply. I spent at least an hour pouring through various threads and using the fancy advance search. I swear I'm doing my very best to not be TFNG...but, I still haven't found the answer and I'm giving in.
The Problem: Random rebooting
In the last 24 hours this has happened at least 18 times that I've been able to count. It happens when I'm using the phone, and when I'm not using it. It's showing no signs of stopping, and has been seemingly getting worse. Now it's beginning to lag severely through out all apps, has trouble loading my home screen, and in addition, flashes back to home when in an app.
Troubleshooting:
Rebooting
Uninstalling all recently installed aps
Force Stop on all unnecessary apps through Task Manager
Factory Reset
Assumptions:
Likely hardware related and I have to send it back to ATT and get a replacement
Conclusion:
In your time spent in this forum and in all your readings, have you come across a resolution for the issue that isn't "send it back?"
Sincere Thanks for any and all feedback.
