Hey all,
Awhile ago i did the bootloader unlock to install the leaked 2.3.4 rom. I thought the rom was slow so i put the phone down for awhile. Today i jumped the gun and installed the stock 4.5.91 firmware from the frimware superthread.
Is my phone still unlocked?
I tried to install CWM so i could try out CM7, but everytime i use fastboot to put the CWM on, the PC says finished but the phone shows a triangle with !.
Any help would be great
Does the phone have the word unlocked by the upper left hand corner when you turn on the phone on the dual core screen?

Is your memory for phone memory and sd card memory both mounted under storage in settings?

You need a custom recovery image download rom manager and flash the clockworkmod that way
I have done that, pressed the power and home button did a back up and rebooted the phone. Just to nake sure its working i pressed the home and power buttons again and got the red triangle screen again

Have another go at pushing the recovery image to your phone and try again.
Elelinux 7.0.0 is a nice GB rom... tweak the cpu speed n it will run fine.
I have tried that, same problem one back up then doesnt work
Is there annother way to put recovery one it ?
Thanks for that rom tho looks nice when it works gonna give it a bash

If thats the only option on the screen, maybe your recovery image is corrupt, your using clockwork right?
I use AmonRA recovery, follow the 'root and recovery' section of this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253
Its easier than it sounds, You cant use Rom manager with this recovery image tho, you will have to download your roms manually and put them in the root folder of your SD card. (roms and updates come as a zip file)
Follow the instructions for the roms you want to flash, each has slightly different prerequisites i.e wiping different parts of your phones memory.
take care, have fun...
yep, i had the same issue 2 days ago, your customer recovery isn't working, and the home+power is taking you to the base one.
FINALLY WORKED FOR ME!!!!!
Used ROM manager to flash amonra recovery and did a custom rom flash straight away, then it has worked happily since
Running Elelinux 7.0.0 atm looks really cool
I just got this Atrix, traded my iphone 4 for it. I rooted it and had it going for a week or so. then I decided I needed a custom ROM. Things when horribly wrong then. I did this
http://www.multiupload.com/C0I82IXH7V - 2.3.4 full sbf with unlocker and /preinstall root
RSD failed at 99% It says BP Pass through fail in the status part of RSD
Now I cannot boot my phone So I tried this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163342
No luck....I really like this Atrix and hope I have not trashed it. I do have a menu on the phone with 14 options to select from. At the top is says SVF : 105 : 1 :2 Failed to boot 0x1000. Any help would be awsome. This is my only phone. I really wanted to try out the Ninja ROM but Id be happy to just have my phone working.
Used this

Pretty easy... install RomRacers version of CWM Recovery. Then choose a ROM & download to phone / sd card. Boot into CWM, wipe dalvik cache (under advanced), clear cache partition & wipe/format data. Then install ROM with the install .zip option. Do all this in CWM and at the same time, in that order.

I recently was trying to upgrade from ICS Dev edition 1.2 to 1.4 and i installed it just fine through recovery..... my device is S-ON still so rebooted to the bootloader to flash the kernel and it went smooth. Allow it to load up, skip the account install info..... get to the main screen and let everything settle in then reboot, upon the next reboot i get to the main screen and try and login to my google play account to start downloading apps and my phone reboots itself after the push from gmail comes through. It does this upon every attempt at restarting the phone. I did a battery pull and cannot get back into recovery because the kernel image is still on the root....I cannot figure out what to do as i have never had this much trouble with a rom before. I know there is away to relock my device and install the latest RUU and get back to working but i dont know how to get into my bootloader to do all this. If anyone could help me out it would be great appreciated as im banging my head here trying to get a functioning phone back.
If you have an external sd card reader, use it to erase the ph98img.zip file. Otherwise you can boot phone with sd card slid partly out, slide back in when booted into recovery, takes a little dexterity.

You could use an old phone, if you have it, to rename/delete the file. As to the original problem, if you are still on GB firmware, make sure to flash the patch, too.
If you would of just flashed the old firmware patch you would not of faced this issue

To make it easier, if you're using TWRP just mount USB storage in recovery.
Whisper ROM coming soon.
Your phone isn't bricked. You have to have the SD Card slide partially out and hold the battery down hard so it still powers on. Go to bootloader and go to recovery and then you can slide the SD back in and boom you're golden. No worries

I can confirm this method works. A little tricky, but it works.
thanks for the help guys.... i couldnt ever get it to boot into amonra recovery so i just relocked and ruu'ed the latest (and most likely official) ics leak..... im back up and running. if it turns out this leak isn't the final i will just have to run that ruu when it comes out.

I can also confirm that it is likely to blank your SD card if you're not careful. Make sure you backup your SD card before trying this method.
And yes, I it happened to me.

this method DOES work. all this method does is Bypass the "PH98IMG" scanner so it wont find it because the SDcard is not inserted in Properly. so it will then continue into hboot which would allow you to access your Recovery which would then help you to fix your problems.
hi i ****ed up while i wass updating to cm10alpha2 now the phone dont boot normally but i can make it boot in recovery mod so i wass wondering is there a file i can put on my micro sd card i could runn in recovery mod to (format the phone to its original firmware) or if there is a way to fix this thanks

ok i did it but now im stuck on the activate menu ...so i cant go and change usb setting for droidx2 root 2012 to recognise the phone ... is there a way to skip the activate thing because im in canada and the call is directed to usa -_-
Turn off the phone. Hold volume down and then hold power until fastboot appears at the top of the screen. Use volume down to scroll to 'start android no bp' and press.volume up to select it.
Or starting on the top left corner of your screen press the 4 corners going clockwise.

I tried flashing the Mean Bean rom. I'm not a noob when it comes to flashing, but I made a noob mistake. I just got my phone and forgot to image before I wiped and tried flashing. The rom was stuck at "format /system" for 20 minutes. I held down the power button, and now, since I didn't image the stock, I can't start the phone (it gets stuck at the white screen) and now when I try to install the rom again, the zip is missing.
I have no idea what to do next. I am downloading all of the ruu files and I'm going to run each one until one works, but I'm not sure if that's even going to fix the problem.
Any help would be more than appreciated.

Can you expand a little bit? I went into settings and there wasn't anything there to mount. I went into mount and marked "mount SDCard," and I went back to install and nothing popped up. I do have a ROM on my SD card, but its not the same rom. Its a rom I know that works.
EDIT: I noticed it was wanting to use an internal SD card, not an external. Switched it, and bam, works. I'll let you know if it flashes properly. Thank you for the help. This forum is the best, without a doubt. Never lets me down.

Got it to flash properly. Thank you again everyone, especially gmoe65!
Do you have any data you need or can you do full wipe? if that is possible this is a easy way to flash a ruu. 1 download the ruu from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744700&highlight=how+to+root the one that is titled PJ75IMG.zip 2. you will need to put it on your external sd card somehow ( easy way would be taking it out of phone and putting it in a different one then move it using that phone, or mabye using twrp recovery if possible make sure it is the external sd though), make sure you put it on the root of the external sd card. 3. boot into bootloader and the file should be recognized and it will ask you if you want to processed click volume up for yes this will bring you back to stock ics and it will also flash a image to the phone. hope this helps
