Stuck at dual core screen :( - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was previously using the gladiatrix rom and I haven't been on the developer forum for a while and I see the new alien theme so I want to try that rom. I did a few things such as unlocking it, clearing the recovery and installing a new cwm recovery which wasn't really working (it would get stuck at the dual core screen when I had it plugged into AC charger)
My phone still was getting past the dual core screen before I installed the alien rom. Now I went into clockwork and installed the alien rom zip from sd and it said it was successful and everything but when I rebooted my phone its just stuck on the dual core screen and I cant seem to do anything to get out of it. It also says unlocked in the upper left corner
Help? D:

Download and flash via fastboot Romracer's CWM from here --->
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
After this do the following:
Boot to Recovery
Wipe Dalvik
Wipe cache
Boot to fastboot
fastboot -w
Boot to CWM
Flash ROM
Wipe Dalvik
Wipe cache
Boot to OS
The problem is likely the version of CWM you are using, and your wipe method before flashing.
If you don't know anything about using fastboot go here ---->

Read, read, then read some more!

Thanks for the quick reply. I've just started using fastboot recently and I'm not 100% sure how to do everything but I've got the flashing business down. So I did as you said and flashed that cwm you linked (orange if it matters) but how do I boot to recovery (I still get stuck at the dual core screen after I reboot using fastboot)?
Edit: Nevermind, figured it out. Thanks for the help

I'm in the same exact situation, however my battery is damn near dead
and it will not charge. In usb, green lights for maybe 3 minutes then goes off, in ac charger it just goes to the red m dual core screen
I can get into recovery, but not fastboot since my battery is too low to flash.
tldr battery wont charge to get in to fastboot to flash new recovery
what do?

Try this to charge your phone, worked for me.

yeah, no
I'm not stupid, I've tried every possible combination. I've even gone as far as to wiring two usb2.0 ports into one cable for maybe a stable 5.0v but it will green light charge for a little while then quit.
my phone may be a goner.

know anyone else with an atrix? might be able to borrow their fully charged battery long enough to fix your phone.
or you can take a laptop into an AT&T store and ask to borrow the battery out of the display atrix there. if the representative is cool they might let you do it.

[Q] HELP! Phone keeps restarting

Hey folks,
I'm having some issues with my ATT Atrix. The phone keeps rebooting at the "Rethink Possible" screen. I bought this phone off of somebody on CL. I actually had the phone make it past the att screen a couple times. It made it to the setup up Motoblur screen but when I clicked start it just skipped it and takes me to the "Emergency Calls Only" screen. However the phone would just restart eventually at this screen as well. When the screen timed out I could not get the screen to turn back on at this point unless I unplugged the USB cord and plugged it back in. When the phone was on the Emergency Calls screen, my computer did recognize the phone and it did launch the motorola website. While I had the phone at this screen it did say that it had to force close android.process.com. I am coming from a captivate with rooting and flashing roms so I am familiar with Android. I am just trying to figure out where the problem could be with my Atrix. I am hoping somebody can point me in the right direction. Thanks for your time!
Your best bet will be to SBF that back to stock. Have you tried that yet? If not search for RSD Lite and SBF in the forums. There are several links and guides.
Is it unlocked?
I am not sure if it is unlocked as I cannot get past the emergency call screen. However, I will search SBF and research that option of setting it back to stock. I know when I flashed roms on the Captivate I would enter into recovery mode. I see in the Atrix that I would have to use Fastboot? The only reason I am worried about flashing a rom is that the phone reboots on its own so I would not want to hard brick it if it rebooted during a flash.
If it's unlocked you should see the word "unlocked" in the upper left corner of the boot logo screen, unless it was unlocked then flashed back or fruitcake in which case it will not say unlocked.
You should not have issues flashing from recovery if you have enough juice in your battery, which you maybe don't if you have been letting it sit rebooting. The rebooting is more than likely caused by an issue with a kernel, ROM, etc. Think of recovery as being similar to the BIOS on a PC. You enter into BIOS before the OS boots, etc., and this is before all the hardware has initialized and drivers have loaded, so the problem causing the reboots should not exist at that time. I would definitely try flashing a different ROM, and also a stock kernel.
It never said unlocked when I got the phone to turn on. I am having trouble getting the phone to turn on this time. I have downloaded RSD Lite and the 4.5.91 .sbf file to flash. I am just having trouble getting the phone started. Are there any ways to force the phone on. When I press the power button the green LED stays lit but nothing comes on the screen. When I plug into the charger it shows the moto symbol then goes to the Battery charging screen. Im not sure if the battery is correct because it says BHX5 1500mAh on the battery. Thanks for your help guys!
Update: I can get the phone into Fastboot and then Android Recovery Mode when the phone is plugged into the wall charger. However when I connect the phone to the computer via USB it just shows the green led when the phone is powered on. Anyway I can get the phone to boot into Fastboot while connected to the computer via USB?
Bump. Any way to get the phone to turn on when plugged into the computer or anyone know why there would be an issue of the phone turning on when plugged into the wall charger but only showing the green led when plugged into the computer? The battery shows 100% charged. Thanks
Update: I got the phone into RSD mode and flashed the 4.5.91 sbf but the phone only goes to the Emergency Call Screen. Is there anything else that can be done?

Did you fastboot -w before flashing the sbf? (Guess you don't really need to when flashing a sbf)
What may also help is flashing the boot.img file from whatever ROM you are using via fastboot.
Don't know if this will help, but it solves an issue when flashing to a different ROM from CM7, so maybe will help for you.
I know this might sound dumb, but do you have a sim card installed? Also, try to boot into recovery and just do a factory reset. @CaelanT already pointed out that this should be unnecessary since you flashed an sbf but it wouldn't hurt to try.

EDIT: I reread the OP and realized he had already tried to bypass the start screen.
That is not the correct battery. That is actually a battery used for the Droid X/X2. It seems they have pulled a switch-a-roo on you. (Probably because the Atrix battery could be used as an "Extended" battery in the DX/DX2) Anyways, it should still work but you can find the correct battery online, it should be a BH6X and should have a capacity of 1880/1930mAH.

Thanks for the reply. I tried to get the phone into recovery mode. I get to the Exclamation Point screen but it gives me no options for a factory reset. I saw that you have to touch the lower right hand side of the screen, but this doesn't do anything for me.
As far as flashing the boot.img file for the rom that I used. I flashed the stock 4.5.91 motorola rom. How can I find boot.img and would I flash it using RSD?
Also would it help if I flashed a custom rom instead of the stock Motorola 2.3.4 rom?
Could the battery not being the BH6X rom be the issue for it not getting enough power to stay on by itself?
Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it!
No, the sim card was not installed during the flash. However, I did install the sim card afterwards but the phone boots up and goes to the big green battery charging screen and does not go any further. However when the sim card is not plugged in I can get the phone to go to the Emergency Call screen.

The following are the instructions for flashing the boot.img. this was the solution to bootloops when trying to restore to a different ROM after CM7, but as I said previously, you never know if it will help or not:
1.Open up the Zip file of your current Blur ROM (Ninja, CherryBlur, Alien, etc.)
2.extract the boot.img file and copy to the directory where your fastboot is.
3.Pull phone battery & reinsert
4.Power on phone and go straight to Fastboot mode (Power + Vol Down)
5.Type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (exclude quotation marks)
6.Once flashed, reboot phone using "fastboot reboot"
Sorry, don't know how to extract the boot.img from a sbf. Did a quick search and couldn't find instructions. Not something I have done before. Maybe someone else can help with this. I don't even know if this will work, but anything is worth a shot when you are stuck.
<edit> Which CWM are you using?
You can flash Romracers via fastboot if you are not using it. This may help you get into recovery.
Update: I got the phone to recognize the sim card and make phone calls and get wifi active. But the phone still reboots by itself. I can use all the functions of the phone except it just reboots by itself. I got into the About phone section and it says
Android: 2.3.4
Kernel: [email protected] # 2
I can get into the Android Market as well as everything else. Could this be a hardware issue that causes the phone to reboot by itself within a minute or so?
Edit: I can get the vol up and down buttons to work while the phone is working but the power button is not responsive to let me power the phone off. Could a hardware issue with the power button be causing the constant reboot loop?
Update: I got the phone to function with the OS working just fine (phone calls, texts, emails, etc..) but it keeps restarting on its own. The power button still does not work however, could this be a hardware issue? Thanks

[Q] [HELP] Not able to boot.

Hello,
My razr xt910 had stock rom and MIUI on 1st slot using safestrap and everything was going well then today the device shutdown as the battery was low, When I connect it to the wall charger it boots just to the MOTOROLA logo "the first one.. before the safestrap menu" I mean there is no sign that its charging or so and when I connect it to the PC only the led notification goes on.
I left it for while on the wall charger then the screen goes off just after I unplug it from the charger and I'm not able to boot it up again. so I back to plug it again. after many tries I managed to boot to safestrap recovery and changed the rom slot to the stock rom as I thought the problem with the MIUI rom restarted system and same problem happens.
and when I managed to pass the safestrap menu to the stock rom the device stuck at boot animation and either it keeps animating forever or it goes off after short time. tried to boot to fastboot menu (power+ vol down) it says battery low so...
- Is it really charging when it's connected to wall charger (showing moto logo) or when it's connected to the pc (led notification on) ? I tried to press vol down on both like some tutorial said but it didn't show the battery.
- After searching for solution, I didn't find the same problem happened to someone but similar ones that all were suggested to flash using rsdlite. can I flash different version of the stock one? I mean for my region there's 2 ics frimwares and I don't remember which one was the device on so it's ok to use any? Also if rsdlite is suggested in my case could you please provide detailed steps as I didn't use rsdlite or to flash frimwares before "was just flashing custom roms using SS". And how would I use while everytime I go to fastboot menu I see battery low msg .
- Could the problem be a battery's one? As the device sometimes goes off just after unplugging it and I can't power on it even I left it on wallcharger for like 30 mins.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I think RSDlite is the solution. So if your phone says low battery. There's a way to charge it with the normal charging cable. I bricked my phone about two months ago. I know that installing something wasn't the cause of this problem but i ALWAYS still any ROM or zip file with 80% charge, no less. Assuming that u still got the stock ROM and system folder. If not then it won't work.
1. Press power + vol down + vol up at the same time.
2. Go into AP fastboot
3. Press the power button. The screen should turn off at this point.
4. Plug in charging cable, after that the Motorola logo will show up. After that I don't remember if charging battery icon came up or screen goes black. I don't think it does. Sorry. But if does, then yay???
5. Let it charge for 1 hour or more. Just so that the charge is okay.
6.Check if its charging by going in AP fastboot and checking if battery is okay.
It worked for me on my spyder. Since I still had my stock ROM and my system folder wasn't deleted. If this doesn't charge then you have to buy one of those special charging cables.
If this works for you reply. IDK if installing firmware is different for xt910 but ik how to for xt912. It fairly easy.

Thanks for your reply,
now the problem is that I can't boot it when it's unplugged and when I try to do this while plugging, it still shows the same.. Moto logo without any sign to be charging.
Just saw some solutions that require me to open the back battery cover and connect the wires to the battery, but I'm really afraid to proceed with these steps to mess with the device :/
Also a solution said that the device doesn't charge like this, so I have to get a "factory cable" and do the rsllite thingy using this cable.
Is this method recommended? isn't there any easier way to try before proceeding with this ?
The easiest way to charge it is they way I said. But if you can't do that then factory cable is your other option.

Thanks for your help :fingers-crossed:
Before taking the decision to make the factory cable I gave some tries because I'm not really experienced with this and wanted the easiest way to fix it. And I did managed to reach the safestrap menu and tried to charge it.
At first safetrap showed battery 99% after a while It changed to 5%+ I assumed it's charging that way and that actually was happening
I waited till it passed 60% and tried to reboot the system to stock slot but it I couldn't!! it stuck again at the stock rom's boot animation.
I forced to shutdown (power + vol down) then installed Liquid smooth rom that I had stored there and it was done successfully and I managed to boot into it. so now the problem is I can't boot to the stock rom but safetrap still works and I can boot to the any other slot. that means the problem I had before may occur again if the battery went low.
Now I will have to use rsdlite to flash the stock rom (unbrick it) right? If yes, Are there any steps that should be done first? I mean should I delete the other slots and keep only the stock one or it won't affect rsdlite?

If you want to get stock back then yes. Cuz I don't if installing a ROM on stock will fix it. But before you do anything,backup your files on internal storage to a computer.

Sorry for bothering you But I wanted to ask about something before starting the rsd to install the frimware.
Now as I told before I can boot to safestrap menu and can boot to other slots but not the stock one so...
- Can I install the frimware using safestrap?
- Should I try to boot the stock recovery and try a factory reset to the stock rom? if yes, will that affect safestrap? I mean if it didn't fix the stock rom will I still have access to safestrap? in other words Will safestrap will be still installed after doing a factory reset from the stock recovery?
Thanks alot for your help

Have you tried booting in to Safestrap, switching to the stock Rom and then wiping Cache and Dalvik? I would always try that before a factory reset. Also, if you are running the Xposed Framework in your stock slot the next step I would recommend is that you try flashing the xposed disabler. If you don't have the xposed disabler on your SD card you can download it from the thread that you originally downloaded xposed from.

I've just switched to the stock and wiped Dlavik and cache (by safestrap) and still same problem... stuck at boot animation
I've never installed xposed before.
Shall I do a factory reset through the stock recovery or it will delete safestrap?

I Deleted my stock slot and installed SlimKat over it and Safestrap still so I think Safestrap must insert code between the bootloader and the actual Rom. but I'm not 100% sure. Do a nandroid backup of your Miui slot and then try it. you can always reinstall Safestrap if you lose it.

Help with HTC amazed, display has no lights but the phone is on.

Hello, I have an HTC Amaze for over a year now. It was working fine, I rooted it CWM 5. and I installed Android revolution custom ROM. Until 2 weeks ago my battery was giving me some trouble, so i put away the phone for a bit, I bought a new battery then I notice the phone wasn't coming on. SO i charge for an entire day it still wasn't charging. I carried it to the shop. They said, that they don't know whats wrong with the phone.
I came home and decide am going to fix it my self i tried powering it into recovery mode, hard reset. screen is still blank, at lease that is what I thought. I look closely and then i notice the phone was in recovery mode but no lights were on in the screen. So normally I thought what anyone would of thought, the bulb in the screen or some kind of wiring went bad. The i tried wiping cache davlik install new new rom. Nothing worked. and this was defficult because I had to use a flash light to see on the screen. Lastly, i just click reboot and then the phone lights up perfectly and HTC logo comes up and then it blanks off again. So can anyone help? any advise

Find the way to install adb and communicate with the phone via adb and fastboot. If you can do that, you will be able to install anything necessary to get the phone working again.
First however, remove the battery, wait a few seconds, reinsert the battery and charge the phone overnight. Next day, try and start phone usual way--see what happens.
If NOTHING happens and you get a black screen, remove battery again for a few seconds, reinsert, and this time hold the power button in for AT LEAST 20 seconds.
See if that starts the phone.
If you get absolutely nothing again, find the "Unbricking Project" thread, but if you get any kind of screen, see if you can boot to recovery and restore anything. If you get a screen but can't do any kind of restore at all, find instructions for adb and fastboot I mentioned earlier, so you can install a new recovery and flash a new rom..
I did everything you said. Except I complete forget how to flash recovery and custom rom from my pc but when I type command in fastboot "adb devices" it was successful.
However, I charge the phone and I got into the recovery mode again and the wipe everything and then click backup and recovery. I rebooted the phone and it came on as if its a brand new HTC Amaze. I had the phone working i rejoice for a bit and then I realize I forget to put in my sim card. So i turn the phone off, put in the sim card. The same problem again. No led, no light in the screen, the phone atomatically boots into recovery mood.
One more thing. when booting into recovery mode. the phone doesn't go where I see the 3 android at the bottom and you see, fastboot, reset etc. It goes straight to cwm screen.

I think that is what you should see when you boot into recovery.
Do whatever you did before to get the phone lit up again, then change the display settings to maybe 3/4 brightness for instance. Reboot the phone normal reboot and see if it comes back with light.
If it does, maybe you are fixed enough to install the sim.
Do you possibly have a nandroid backup saved somewhere, you could put it back in the phone via recovery?
The phone is lit up again like you asked me to do. It was hard to see in recovery mode. But i used a flashlight to look on the screen of the AMAZE then i flash a new custom rom. After multiple tries I got it up. SO its up and the brightness is at its highest point. But I dont believe thats the problem. I just need to figure out how the light stays off when in recovery mood but comes on when booted normally. Its as though the recovery is broken. How do I fix it? if its broken

[Q] One S Bricked? Won't boot

So I rooted my HTC ONE S (villec2) today, and I wanted to flash a custom rom on it. I got a recovery (turned out to be a bad one, but it worked either way.... I noticed way too late it was made for HTC One M8) I got TWRP 2.7.1.0 and I got it working on my phone. I then backed up the system, and realized I messed up the recovery. In the meantime I got a CM 12.1 img on it and wiped the thing. The wipe removed the old Android system and the CM I downloaded was a bad download. If I go to recovery in the bootloader, it will just do the HTC white screen with "Entering Recovery" and the red warning logo but it won't get anywhere. It's just stuck there. So now, I'm stuck with a device that won't boot normally - just stuck on the white HTC screen, will boot into bootloader, and I want to know if there's a way of accessing the internal storage without being in the operating system. The worst thing is, there's no external SD Card, all just internal... Please god help me. I'm really stressing out about this since it's the only phone I have and if I lose it.... well I'm practically f-ed.... :crying: I know that I messed a few things up really badly and I'm not sure what state the phone is in.
Also just to add, the phone is barely loading up right now. I'm really scared since it's my only phone and it won't even boot normally right now. It's really acting strange, it was on 90% battery but now it might just be dead... i don't know.... someone please help
I honestly think I screwed it up.... All it does now is just a white flash / flicker when I hold the power button (both only power button and vol down) and that's it. I'm really disappointed right now but oh well.... Maybe just because the battery is not charged.... Also been looking around the other threads and looks like a lot of people had the same issue but with 0 replies...

I have no way of trying the stock rom. I cannot access the phone itself because I deleted the OS. There's a weird thing, that if I plug the USB to the computer, it does the connect windows sound but the phone's internal storage is still not accessible.... So as it turns out I can get to the freaking bootloader but then it just turns off with a white flicker a second later.... I have no clue what to do :crying:
try to hook your device with windows and hold the Volume Down and Power
to see if it can detect it

Alright. I slept through the night and now I'm here trying to resolve this again. Status now, is that when I try to boot it up, it just shows a white flicker and won't turn on. no matter if i try to boot in bootloader or normally. The device doesn't appear to be charging when I plug it in because it doesn't show the LED light for charging. I think it's hard bricked. I tried other threads, showing bright light to the proximity sensor, but nothing happened.
//edit// - My bootloader was unlocked, and I was on S-ON (HTC ONE S, S3 villec2) that might change on your phone and might make the process different
So I fixed it. I will leave the tutorial for anyone in the future that might be having the same issue. If you "locked yourself out" of your system, eg. no OS, and broken recovery just plug it into the computer, try somehow getting into bootloader, go into fastboot and plug the usb cable to your computer so you're in Fastboot USB. Then you can flash a recovery on the phone using a fastboot command. I believe it's fastboot flash recovery _filename_. Just google that, there'll be plenty. Then you have the recovery and you're back on track. After that you can get the rom you wanted. Just don't make my mistake, and check if your device is exactly the same as the files you're downloading for it. I messed up there . Anyway, good luck everyone!
t
yea
