if u have xrecovery installed, the way to get into is by the presssing the back button when the sony ericsson logo comes on. if u havent got xrecovery installed u can do so by using flashtool

Thanks for the quick reply. She just has it stock n she locked herself out without remembering her gmail account. Anyway to reset like this? I have no knowledge of this device.

If you truly want to help your friend and she is the legal owner of the phone you/she can do one of two things.....
ask Google to reset the password for your friend using a computer or since you appear to be so kind on our phone internet connection. She can the use it to get OR
go to her service provider to help her .... any other method you seek could make it look rather suspicious .. hope she comes out right

Well, thanks for not believing. Its her loss not mine anyway. I was just trying to help her. I agree, it does sound sketchy, but whatever.
Plz lock thread. This was a waste of time.

I believe you. Keeping aside the statement, follow the instructions mentioned below:
Tell your friend to use the computer to reset the password. It is not x10 fault but hers and she has to reset her password from gmail.
If that is a problem, take x10 to SE ASS and tell them to format it and use a diff email address.

Rebirth Of A 3vO...

I have been here for a lot longer than I have been registered and I have learned a great deal...I currently have a EvO 3D and I rooted it as soon as root was available...Quite a nice piece of electronics...However, I noticed that my original Nandroid backup went missing after I flashed a battery mod...I noticed my battery life turn into absolute crap...I'm not sure if the flash had anything to do with it or not since I had installed other apps...I have since wiped everything, and I didn't reinstall those other apps...The battery mod remained after the full wipe...My question is if there is a way to absolutely wipe everything back to out of the box, which also means losing root...Every wipe I make does not bring me back to original settings...I want it all gone except for my SD card of course...Is there anyway to do this?...I have searched around and nothing I've tried has worked...Any help would be greatly appreciated...

What ROM are you running? I remember reading Synergy was having that issue for awhile, but I haven't been on that ROM in a long time so not sure if they fixed it. There is a free app in the market named Quick Reboot that should fix your problem. Give that a try.

Current information on NV FLASH RECOVERY Manang

Any solution for recovery mode NVFLASH
on the screen of my Atrix says:
SVF: 105.1:2
Failed to boot 0 * 1000
NVFLASH Entering Recovery Mode
Batery is too low to flash
what were you trying to do when this happened?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
You hard bricked. There's no fix. Either exchange your phone if you can, or buy a new one.
so no one has figured out how to fix this yet, people have figured it out with other phones using external equipment, what's so different about the ATRIX?
Erebus671 said:
okay, I am seeing this alot, but everyone else unit seems to shut off before anything can happen, mine does not, it simply stays on. That being said, I am conducting an experiment, since my ATRIX was afflicted I baught a new one because I liked the webtop idea, so im charging my new one to 100% and then im going to swap out batteries and check the results. Has anyone seen any evidence at all that might suggest a possible fix? I will update you guys on the results of my experiment once completed, hopefully I can come across something that will lead someone to a fix if not find one myself.

Not yet, I'm still searching. Thus far I have yet to find a leak of the SBK. I'm sure they're more careful with that, than they are with bootloaders and the likes.

http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-system-boot-file-sbf-leaked
would this do the job
Negative my friend. Although the sbf (single binary file, not system boot file) is essential to the phone, it will only work if the phone is softbricked (bootloop or just stuck on M dualcore technology screen), not hardbricked (nvflash screen.) You will also need a dev cable to fix this. Remember we are looking for the secure boot key, not the single binary file. Good attempt though. Keep me updated if you find anything else. Pm me if needed.

Go ahead, let us know how it goes. By the way, are you also going to tell them that you voided your warranty by rooting and unlocking your bootloader? Cause when you ask for the sbk, you wont need to tell them that, they'll know automatically. Not to be rude... just saying

So? That doesn't mean they will be pissed. They are people just like the rest of us. Im sure they don't care that some people unlock their bootloaders. We're still buying and using their hardware. Ill try to get a contact. I might apply to Motorola mobility for an internship also.

I work with a lot of motorola canopy (wireless point to multipoint and BH stuff not a lot to do with phones) but my point with this is i have talked to asked many of thier engineers a lot of simple questions for similar problems and usually get laughed at so dont hold to many high hopes for calling up there and them handing you the keys lol

Its not that they will get pissed, they'll simply tell you that you've voided your warranty, probably laugh at you for even trying to ask and then hang up on you. But hey, by all means, who knows what could happen, and if you manage to get that internship, then you could probably get access to that sbk for us. Not likely though, but still, good luck with that.

[Q] ROOTing the DNA

Hey guys,
I realize there is a lot of posts about this, but everyone I try, does not work because my phone has the latest update? I was wondering if there has been a new release and i just cant find it about how to Root the DNA?
Any help is appreciated, Thanks
You can not root your phone short of sending it to a guy to open it up and jtag it.

Agreed. It clearly states in both the s-off and unlock threads that it's not for 2.xx. And people are still getting their hands on 1.xx version DNAs, so the info is still valid and needed.

I agree completely, send it off and have it JTAG'd. Turn around time is real quick. Having an unlocked phone is that important to me too so before I buy a phone I do my research and know exactly what I'm getting into. You got lucky with the DNA though because of it having the ability to be unlocked via JTAG. I definitely recommend proceeding it's an amazing phone.
The reason that you're getting a hard time is because a quick google search, site search, or reading through one of the many threads you mentioned seeing would have answered your question. It's nothing personal, and the good thing is that people are quite forgiving around here.

People are forgiving because they're sitting around on their thumbs with 2.04 or 2.06, locked and stocked.
