i just did the new ota update for my atrix and now it wont get passed the motorola dual core logo. i tried many battery pulls, combinations of connecting it to the charger and then putting the battery in and also my computer wont recognize it. i only had the custom modern warfare bootup but i dont think that was what cause the problem. i downloaded the update last night and installed it this morning. is there anything that i can do??? or am i screwed...
please help
You were rooted and installed a bootanimation.zip???
This goes in /System
If any files in /System are changed the update will fail.
I had the same issue... I had to go into fastboot and run pudding, then used the FruitCake system.img and boot.img to get my self up and running. I am now on Ninja with Faux OC Kernel and loving every minute!!

Ok i was in recovery mode and i had planned on installing a ROM called Megatron(makes cpu faster). I had a bad signal on my computer so i decided to hold off on downloading the ROM. However, i remember downloading a theme and i saw the update.zip file on my desktop. I copied it to the root of my sdcard and on my phone it read,"update.zip.zip"(didnt really bother me because i figured it was STILL considered a .zip file). Anyway, I flashed it from the sdcard and i tried to reboot my phone and it went normal until it got to the Android logo. It would have the sleek light going across the logo but then it would freeze, go blank, then come back and do the same thing again. Now i tried to backup my phone before doing this but when i tried, it wouldnt let me and it told me to do it from the adb(I dont know how). Its obvious im new to this. I dont think its bricked because it turns on and i really dont know if i voided the warranty on it or not. PLEASE HELP ME!
You're bootlooping. I'm not very advanced in all this just yet, but after reading through different forums you gotta flash a factory rom.

If that doesnt work, find a .zip file of the original firmware and flash it through recovery.
Hi,
On My atrix I download latest update sent by ATT for Gingerbread, Atrix was rebooted after that and Now I am stuck at error message "Failed To Boot 2" and "Startup RSD Mode". I cannot do anything at this screen. I took out the battery and phone was started but after starting up, immediately will show message "Power off, shutting down" and it will shut down and start in boot mode with the same error messaage "Failed to boot 2". Please help what should I do to come out.
I beleive I can use Motorola PC method to update my phone but since I cannot come out from boot mode, I am not able to even us PC mode.
I had GingerBlur installed, rooted phone before updating the latest ATT update.
I had the same problem. I used rsd to flash froyo with pudding and the problem was solved. I too had tried to unlock the bootloader while on gingerblur. Hope this helps.

I used RSD to load the factory SBF ("beta" 5.9.1") and it got me working again. I was running on a stock ROM, though, only rooted.
I have the same problem as the op but wanted to ask a real quick question in regards to this topic. How did you manage to flash back to the orginal sbf? When the phone is plugged in and powered up at this screen, RSD (5.3.1) is unable to detect the phone making it impossible to flash it.
I'm not trying to hijack this post but looking to shed a little insight in case the op is having the same issue.
Thanks!

I thought it wasnt connected either when looking in the upper left pane of RDS. However, the status section under the 2 upper windows showed connected, so I went forward from that. Progress was indicated in the same lower section entry.

Thanks for the follow-up. I will give it a shot tonight and let you know how it goes. I think it was Rom Manager that screwed it up. When it forced the recovery software install, i'm pretty sure that is what caused it. I did have gingerblur installed so might not have been compatible. Just an FYI.

I had overwritten my stock recovery image as well, which is what caused me to do it this way. Should work for you.

So I came home tonight and tried it once more on my PC and nothing showed connected. I figured I would give it one more try by installing a fresh copy of RSD Lite and the Moto drivers on my laptop. I plugged in the phone with the error on the screen and it did detect it!
It's currently installing the image (1.8.3 SBF) and at about 6% the error is now gone. Going to cross my fingers and hope for the best. Thanks for all the info and Ill make one final post with the results.
interesting im in the same boat lol
so how does one find a sbf file for the atrix i have the same issue
There are links in the forum to the "prerelease" version which turned out to be the same as the released version.

I had the same problem using 01.97.00R SBF and installing the AT(HoneyComb)RIX with ClockWorkMod.
I solved with the file "ATT 2.3.4 pudding+root" and RSD 5.3.1, it installed Gingerbread plus 01.77.30P SBF
very good

Is your phone unlocked?
Do you have a recovery (CWM) installed?
Edit: I see it has to be...Please give more information about what you´re doing.
If so, just download another rom and follow the flash-instructions using CWM.
As long as you can access the Recovery/Fastboot etc., you can fix things.
DO NOT BLINDLY USE RSDlite and SBF!!! It can turn your phone into a very expensive letter-weight.
I do not know what to do anymore ...
My phone is Hard Brick, AT & T, have no guarantee of any account, and live in the EU.
Jel is worth it in the United States sent in for repair and how much will we charge??
Atrix, or to throw against the wall and forget it ....
Alright here goes
So my question is, what options do i have? I can't access any recovery options (Fastboot, android recovery, etc) and my RSD lite wont connect.
Short Story
Every time i try to boot my Atrix (after trying to update CherryPi), I get the Failed to boot 2, Starting RSD mode. Unfortunately, when I plug my phone into a computer RSD doesn't see it. It's like its not even phased.
Long Story
Okay, so I got my atrix not too long ago. Got my phone rooted at proceeded to use gingerblur. Then shortly there after, I attempted to upgrade to the Gingerbread OTA update, which got me stuck in a boot loop. (Now I'm a little confused, I don't think that I have unlocked my phone at all. I don't ever recall "unlocked" being on the boot screen at all). From this point I don't think RSD was working. I spent about a week trying to get it to work. Then I was able to fastboot flash the stock img files for gingerbread to my phone. So now I had a working gingerbread atrix. I sat stock for a little while, figgured out how to root via fastboot (again, no rsd support at this point). After I was rooted I installed CherryPi 0.3 via CWM. It worked great, a couple of days later I went to do the CherryPi 0.X > 0.5 and it flashed with CWM "successfully" got to the AT&T logo on bootup and then crashed and has been giving me the failed to boot 2.
I hope i've given you guys enough info. If any of you super hackers live in San Diego, I'd be more then willing to bring my phone over for you to figure out. So I just really need to know what my options are. If I take it back to AT&T will they likely give me a new one? (I'm good at playing dumb). I traded my phone originally so I don't know what kind of warranty is in place. Can I contact Motorola and get a new handset? Just looking for suggestions.
Thanks guys
Have you tried to reinstall the motorola driver?
Yes, when I first "lost" RSD support and since the current "Failed to boot 2" message.
It has the flash interface when I plug it in, but the motorola software dosent see it, same with RSD. just like nothing is plugged in.
Why not put it into fastboot mode when it reboots and then flash a different file?

It won't boot into any other mode, upon putting the battery in, it shows the dual core logo for about 1.5-2 seconds that pops up the "Failed to boot 2" message and starting RSD mode.
Judging by your first post u mentioned that u never unlocked your boot loader, unless I'm reading this wrong. These ROMS weren't meant to be flashed with the Bootstrapped version of CWM (The one that requires u to be plugged in to AC power) so not sure if that sheds any light on the subject or not. Again, if I read your post wrong, I apologize.

Ya, from what I can tell its Motorola locking me out for using an modified rom. But I think that I should be able to return to a stock firmware using RSD lite or the Motorola software restore from thier site, but neither see my phone connected. This leads me to belive that somewhere in the process the RSD protocol got messed up. Now I really don't know much, just enough to be dangerous. So if theres anyone that can tell me if I'm even looking the right direction.
And if I am right is there anything I could possibly do?

Hey man, I have the same problem with you.. have you some progress for that..
I find some infor from forum that this kind of hard brick can be solved by using the developping cable to reflash the sbk file, this method is pending at the SBK file is unavailable which is not released out by MOtorola.. I find a one of my friend who is working in MOTO (Tianjing, CHINA) to see my device, I hope he can help me to unbrick my phone.. when i have good news, I'll update it.
I flashed cwm via nandroid manager, got the security error and i have been trying to fix the issue since. Unfortunately, Now my phone will only go into S/W Upgrade mode. The problem is i have tried flashing the x&u boot for ICS to reflash back to normal but the phone auto exits S/W mode at 15% or 8%. Have tried with JB x&u boot, doesnt read phone for install. The version of android im running is 20h. Have tried online mode, wont restore at all.... Have flashed a stock recovery through fastboot to no avail. Phone isnt even charging now.... HELP! Please.
Update:
For some reason, the phone wants to all of a sudden work. I will NOT turn the phone off. Thanks for the guides all of you that have taken the time to make them. I dont remember all of you but thank you for your hard work and dedication to trying to make us happy. Keep up the level of awesomeness.

Hello.
I have been reading around on the forums and havent been able to find a suitable fix for my phone.
First of all- Im not a huge fan of updating apps and such due to not having the best success with compatibility after the updates. Also I am NOT a developer or anything, have never rooted my phone or flashed ROMs because I never really understood it and didnt want to brick my phone. That being said im not a idiot when it comes to technology either. I know how to use linux a decent amount tho i dont because I own a mac and havnt had a "x86" computer for sometime
Back in December I was having problems with my phone so I took it to Sprint and got a replacement. I dont usually use my phone for internet while im at home (because I use my computer) and overlooked the setting that updates apps over wifi.
So fast forward a few months- I went to Europe for the first time this winter for a ski vacation and when i connected to wifi over there, my phone just started updating everything and started making my phone act wierd. It would freeze up for a while after boot after entering my password and it would take 15-30 minutes to unfreeze. I got used to it working like that. Besides i was only using my phone for basic internet stuff and taking pictures. I wasnt making any phone calls or anything. The day before i came home I tried to connect to a wifi network and in the network settings under wifi it said "error" and then immediately shut off and rebooted. That was the last time my phone was usable. From then on it is just stuck in a continuous boot loop. I have to remove the battery to stop it. When it tries to boot it goes through the animation process to the "now" part of the "welcome to the now network" animation during boot. I have messed around with the safe mode and other boot options in the boot menu but nothing seems to work.
I DONT WANT to hard reset my phone yet because ALL MY PICs are on the Internal memory of the phone from my trip. I know now that this was a stupid idea to have them on the internal memory. My SD card was getting full and had like 7 gigs internally so i saved all my pic there. My phone was also encrypted with the pattern password (yes i enabled it).
Is there any way to get my pictures off the phone? I dont know what build version, kernel etc... or any of the other technical information is.... Please help!!!! thank you :crying:
