Need help! I tried running through the steps to install pre-rooted gingerbread on my dx2 and everything was going well till the reboot, now the phone won't get past the motorola M "dual core" screen. I can get back to stock recovery, I've tried wiping the phone but no dice, so I've sbf-ed back to froyo through RSD lite and then the phone starts up fine. Tried installing pre-rooted GB three times and it always ends the same :-( Probably just being a moe.ron but I have no idea what else to try. Thanks in advance for anyone taking the time to try and help!
-desperately wanting rooted gingerbread
Sbf to gingerbread and find the thread on one click gingerbread root method.

Gotta root froyo, then use the bootstrap to install that file. Now that we have the sbf for gingerbread and the one click root...you don't have to go to froyo and take all those unnecessary steps, just flash the gingerbread sbf. Just make sure you wipe data before the sbf...it usually eliminates a bootloop.

Hello, I'm in quite the pickle and my head is spinning at this point. A few days ago I received a brand new Atrix from Motorola with 2.3.4 preinstalled. I unlocked and rooted it as well as installed tenfar's recovery and a a rom by the name of aura(de-blurred). After installing aura I noticed that my wifi no longer worked. I reflashed the rom and still it didn't work. I completely wiped everything and started over, still nothing. After countless efforts I tried installing the blurred version of aura in hopes that it would solve my problem. This was to no avail. Now I have no idea what happened after that, but somewhere along the line tenfar's recovery quit working. I get stuck at the motorola logo with the "unlocked" in the top left corner. I have no idea what to do now. I can't go into recovery which in turn means I can't install any new roms. The only option I can think of is to load a pudding abf of gingerbread. Am I safe in doing so? Are there other options? I have yet to find a real answer to this question so if anyone could possibly point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated. I'm so overwhelmed with how much information is out there I just don't know what to do. Thank you in advance for the help.
I'm also on ATT
If you're running 2.3.4 you can use a 2.3.4 SBF - just do NOT attempt to flash a 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 Froyo SBF - you WILL hard brick.
Will flashing a 2.3.4 sbf completely overwrite everything back to stock 2.3.4? At this point I just want an unlocked and rooted gingerbread. No roms or anything!

If you want to erase and stay on the same fw then all you need to do us a factory reset.
If you want to unlock, then use the IHOP (AKA Pudding) method found in the Dev forum...

I've tried a factory reset and that did not solve the wifi problem. Also, if I install pudding on top of an already unlocked and rooted device will that cause conflicting errors?

If you are unlocked and it says "unlocked" during bootup, then you don't need to unlock it again. It's permanently unlocked.
Not sure about what's going on with your wifi. Have you tried resetting your router, or is happening with all wifi areas?...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
It is happening with all wifi areas.
I also wanted to try the pudding sbf in hopes that it would fix the recovery. I may not need it anymore, but it's a nice feature to have just in case things really take a turn for the worse.
For your WiFi issue. Reset your WiFi router, and 'Forget' all networks on your Atrix. Then go through the paces of setting it all back up again on the Atrix once your home Router has been reset.
You can flash the pudding 2.3.4 sbf.
its not reccomended tho .. try out the fruitcakes first..

I don't have access to ANY recovery methods though. Tenfar's recovery refuses to boot and leaves me with the motorola logo and "unlocked" in the top left corner. Is there any known reason for this?
Can you enter fastboot?
If so you flash in that.
You can even download the rom manager recovery and flash it via fastboot too see if that recovery will let you do what you gotta do.

2.3.4 SBF is fine.... its not recommended to flash anything prior to 2.3.4 - as it results in hard bricking.
I shall try it via fastboot. Thank you for all of the help everyone. I appreciate all the input.
Everything works! Oh happy day!
This is not for the OTA, this is for the prior cheesecaked build
####BACKUP your current system with BSR before doing anything!####
1. SBF or nand restore to stock 2.3.4 (if on completely unmodified and fully bloated stock 2.3.4 skip to step 2)
2. Apply 2.3.5 (412 build) in stock recovery after placing on external sd card root and renaming update.zip (reboot phone and hold down volume, press down arrow until you see android recovery, press up volume button, when on next screen press both volume buttons at same time. Wipe cache and flash update.zip)
3. Root using zergrush (with phone unpluged unzip and open zergrush program....make sure unknown sources in applications is checked and that debuggung is checkmarked. I also checkmark stay awake as zergrush recommends setting screen timeout for ten minutes. Connect your phone and then check it is connected as charge only. Hit spacebar and then the phone will reboot after the zerglings lol find a way in and your rooted)
***Rootkeeper has caused issues with some roms aborting install.***
4. Install & then boot into bootstrap
5. Wipe data, cache and dalvik
6. Flash 2.3.5 based custom rom from removable sd card & reboot when done.

Rootkeeper has caused some failed Eclipse 2.X.X installs. This method is the safest bet.
For icing on the cake here is the SBF Tutorial link if you dont know how to SBF http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1175300
Thanks this will help many including myself. Had to sbf 2 times last night and no luck. However I was using rootkeeper. I will try again tonight with zergrush.
There are now a newer set of updates to 2.3.5 to be applied over... if your gonna do it might as well do a full set..
I would put at the very beginning of the post to do a backup. People should know, but you know how that goes. lol

I know you can update via cheese cake to newer versions. I know Eclipse is off of the linked 2.3.5 which is 412 and I believe pepper's is the same. Please correct me if I am wrong.
There might be unknown issues if everyone starts flashing roms desinged for one build over other updates....is that what your refering to? Am I wrong about this?
Changed Eclipse link to Nitro's 2.0.2 12-15-11
Thanks a lot for posting this!
Eclipse 1.3 RC
mine keeps getting stuck at zegruths rooting method on "waiting for device" it has gotten farther than that before but only to "dsomething has been started"

Glad this got stickied, it's a good help
Im trying to help a friend with his droid x2. We rooted it with dooms v4 zergrush before doing anything else, hadnt seen this tutorial yet. When trying to update to 2.3.5 it aborts, last line said E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip. Do we need to unroot to do this then root again? I did this because for eclipse rom it sais it needs rooted gingerbread, but step 3 of install is to root, so it confused me, I chose to root it first.
I tried unrooting and starting over, still wont work. Its wierd that it the OP it sais to do a BSR backup before starting but then step 4 sais to install bootstrap, Ill assume BSR is BootStrapRecovery, so if you need to have it to backup before starting why would you need to install it? Im a bit confused here. I have 2 rooted, unlocked bootloader x10s with MIUI so Im not a newbie but this is frustrating.

I have never used V4 zerg...use v3 as in instructions. You dont need to unroot. Are you flashing the 412 buil update in android stock recovery? After you install the 412 update you will need to reroot....DONT USE ROOTKEEPER...If you fallow the instructionas as wrote you will have no issues that also includes using the mentioned rooting program as well.
I would suggest at this point SBF and start from step one and/or unroot 2.3.4 and start from step one using everything in the OP as instructed to the T.
If you cant get it your not following the instructions.

Which is how the directions say to do it althoughit does work if your rooted on stock...completely stock no unbloating done. Ota updates need the bloat to install correctly

yes says cannot load..pretty much im stuck because i was on 2.3.6 and messed up something in framework and it made my phone not capable of booting pass the motorola logo. i was rooted before all this but when my phone got stuck i did a factory reset before i knew it would take my phone back to having no root and also from what i read it resets the phone so usb debugging is not checked.also ive gotten the 0x1000 error no os detected too..basicall i have no os on my phone and cant root without the usb setting and cant get to that without booting up phone..ive tried pretty much everything but without root i cant seem to flash anything at all.my bootloader is unlocked.i can get to factory ndroid and recover but have nothing to recover.i think my only option is finding a way to get cwm on phone without root or being able to boot.not sure.. sorry bout the long sob story but ive tried so many things from the forum

I would try the automatic bootloader unlock tool. It has a tool in the utility for "failed to boot / no os". I had the same problem as you and this worked great. It was very easy to do. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871&highlight=automatic

download this file named "ATT-2.3.4_Pudding_preroot.rar"
the use RSD to flash this sbf into your Atix
After then, you can boot with stock recovery
Try to wipe factory reset and wipe cache
Then you could boot into 2.3.4 which already unlock bootloader and root.
Good luck!

Maggedo my buddy you my sir...are a master of your craft. now that im fixed up I see that the fix was right in front of me the entire time it was just a matter of finding good links and a decompressor to extract the .sbf from the .rar..popped it in rsd ran it and bang im no longer the owner of a couple hundred dollar pocketmirror/weight..still ironing out a few details and gotta get my root access back and try to recover some of what i lost.you saved me though. i have no warranty,couldnt do insurance swap and im pretty poor haha so i had no other options.saved my life man!!! if i could hit thanks more than once id sit here and do it all day.thank you very much.
I was stuck on the Moto Dual Core Screen as well. I used the automatic unlock MAIN program to unlock, root and install custom recovery. When I tried to flash epinter's CM10 ROM I got boot hang at the Moto screen.
You can RSD back to stock (e.g. I found the AT&T .151 sbf file and restored my phone to working condition on 2.3.6 GB).
In the end I figured out that the recovery in the auto unlock tool (both the telfar and CWM options) was borking the CM10 flash. I ended up:
1. RSD lite AT&T .151 GB 2.3.6 sbf file
2. Unlock Bootloader with automatic unlock
3. Root and install custom recovery
4. Boot into android
5. download goo.manager from play store
6. Install open source recovery with goo.manager
7. reboot into recovery
8. Make backup of everything
9. Flash JB CM10 & GApps
Phone is up and running w/o issues. A bit of googling should find you the necessary sbf to get you on your feet again.
Good luck!
Hello!
I purchased used atrix 4g. Since fingerprint scanner was not working well, I did OTA 2.3.6 update. It was 2.3.4 originally.
And I unlocked bootloader and rooted the android. And I installed recovery using autounlocker (something like that).
Yesterday, fingerprint scanner does not work well, I factory reset the phone. Unfortunately, it did not fix the problem. So I tried to install custom rom including neutino rom to see it makes better. Somehow it did not boot after installation of neutrino. So I restore my backup from stock using CWM.
However, I got so many problem after the restore, like my wifi never connect....fingerprint scanner still does not work..
So I tried to install neutrino again....And something totally went wrong, I bet you call it infinite loop on logo screen.
So I decided to use RSDlite. I downloaded 2.3.6 5.4.151 att rom. And I charged phone overnight. And try to flash it.
Unluckily on second reboot, I GOT FAILED TO BOOT 1.
I tried to RSDlite again 2 times since the phone was still recognized by rsdlite. And just in case the rom I downloaded was defecti, I downloaded same rom from from another site. But it was same result.
Could anybody please help me? I am stuck here.
Any help will be appreciated! Thank you.
