[Q] German Atrix totally unusable - help! - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody... Today i tried to flash my german atrix, using sbf_flash and the OLYEM_U4_2.1.1 ROM...
The problem started in Ubuntu (11.04):
I can start the flash process, but after phone-reboot sbf_flash tells me that it can not access the usb-port. (does not matter if as user, sudo or as real root!)
OSX starts flashing until it breaks at the 6th or 7th upload...
Vista (the only Windows we have here) does not even recognize the phone, so RSD Lite cannot flash it...
At the moment i have a totally unusable phone with "Failed to boot 4. Starting RSD mode"...
Tryed nearly every howto that is given, but i cant even start fastboot-mode so thos howtos are completely unusable for me...

were you trying to downgrade when you first flashed the sbf in linux? because then you are hard bricked. :'( check stickies in atrix development

Dell keepin me out of fastboot and messing with clockwork etc !!
hi there just been having the same problem for the last 2 days i was told that clock work mod wont work with dell streak ?????? look @ this line http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
to boot in fast mode hold the camera button in and press the power button in @ the same time then tap fast boot mode also i have attached a file witch help me also here is a link what helped me 2 n8 when i bricked it in some way lol
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=78
thanks for that info...i have just started reading through the streakdroid forums and QDL Tool (with drivers) sections...been at it a few hours...am really tired now...time for a rest before i do BRICK it lol......tried some other dell driver but no joy....usually always stick to my flashing in windows XP..for 32 bit and USB compatability but this is driving me nuts....thanks again....ive read read read and reread the pdf file.....
No worries i know what its like i was up till 2a, yesterday trying to do the same and 2 n8 got things working put a file on and it sort of bricked it and i have just sorted it out 20 mins ago
You have XP 64 bit? Isn't that a bit like a mythological beast OS that only exists in fairy tails and Redmond?
Hope you got this sorted out.
sorry should have read windows 7 64bit..only use xp in 32bit mode...all updates installed.
just trying again now...have uninstalled everything dell / drivers...used USBdeview to uninstall already set Android ports and old Qualcom ports from where i flashed my 3 usb stick, and the 3 drivers and software....downloading, again, the android 2.2 drivers and pc suite from dell.....will try again....i see 2.1 users and 1.6 users seem to have fastboot drivers working and clockwork mod....so will start playing all over again ..... at least the night is young!!!
oh bugger this im tired of going over things..guess the 319 version wont let you have proper drivers to "mess" around with the bootloader..ill revisit some time in the future
oh great decided to start again using a factory reset.....now all i get is process com.android.setupwizard has stopped unexepectedly. please try again..
cant get anything but a blank screen cos the setupwizard did not complete..
groan...
UPDATE 1345GMT.....downloaded Streak_319_12792_21.pkg .... renamed to update.pkg.....copied to root of sd card....booted into recovery and selected update from package.....am now back at 2.2 update and screen working...phew....now to spend rest of day setting it up again lol...wonder why doing a factory reset wont clear the caches?
I'm assuming you have sdk setup? If not give this a go great write up.

Sent from Re-Engineered dInc
no not used the sdk files...just the official update which is downloadable....no probs..
Also..update....i have managed to follow the instructions and install StreakMod even though my Android Bootloader device is still not started..Different commands there than what i was using to try n put CWM on.....ill see how that goes...at least im making progress and have saved the Official 319 update package in case i need it another day!! thanks for comments and help on this irritating buisiness...
ALL SORTED NOW..APPARENTLY TO USE FASTBOOT YOU MUST INCLUDE THE DEVICE CODE SO THAT FASTBOOT KNOWS WHAT IT IS TALKING TO!
IE THE FULL PROPER COMMAND LINE IS fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
CONSIDER THREAD CLOSED..THANKS TO ALL

[Q] Failed flash attempt, freezes at dell logo

Hello, thank you if you are trying to help me.
What did I do?
I started to with Dell Streak running Android 2.2, wanted to upgrade to StreakDroid GingerStreak 2.4.4.
So I downloaded the files referred to in the linked guide in the section
YOU MUST FLASH THE BELOW BASEBAND AND DSP1 IMAGES TO ALLOW THIS BUILD TO WORK CORRECTLY!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I installed device drivers and booted into fastboot, everything worked well.
Then I used the commands listed to flash amss.mbn ja dsp1.mbn
fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn
fastboot -i 0x413c flash dsp1 dsp1.mbn
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Everything seemed okay, device started to reboot... but it never booted.
Current situation:
Device boots sometimes (not every time) until Dell logo and freezes. I am unable to boot into fastboot or recovery mode.
When connected to PC it shows up as qualcomm device and then installs drivers and lists as USB HID device.
I can use W7 64bit and Vista 32bit to troubleshoot the problem.
Thank you if you managed to read it all through and if you have any suggestions, I am all ears. Do not want to make things worse by doing wrong moves.
If you need any extra info just ask, I might have forgotten something useful.

I also have this same problem on my other streak. I tried going back to stock att 2.2 though from streak droid 1.6 I think. Which ever one is 2.2.2. Flashed recovery and I never changed basband so it was stock still. Stuck at dell logo. Cant get into safe mode to use qdl tool

I cannot remember exactly what was said for gingerstreak but I do remember there being some quite specific instructions about the first flash and boot of the rom.
I would suggest reading the whole post and then trying to flash again.
I can remember having the same problem as you when I first flashed this rom but I managed to resolve it by reading the post thoroughly.
If I can find the stand out instructions in the thread I will post them but if you still want the rom have another good read and all should fall into place.
Sorry for not posting solution a year ago. I managed to unbrick my device using this guide: www . calazan . com/how-to-upgrade-your-att-locked-dell-streak-baseband-gausb1a111231-build-6601-to-android-2-2-froyo/
Just make sure you are on 32bit operating system. I personally did it on 32bit Vista. As I did it a year ago I cannot remember the exact details but thought it might help someone googling for bricked dell streak in the future.
Had to put spaces in link because xda does not allow posting links with so few posts.

[Q] Bootloader problems

So before you comment saying "should have searched first" I have tried every way suggested by XDA, Cyanogenmod devs, motorola and various developing websites. It has not worked once yet.
On 2.3.6 Bell Atrix
Rooted with superuser
RSD doesn't recognize my phone, but it did once upon a time (but wouldn't get the image on then either)
Fasboot commands always come up with errors or not implemented unlock notifications.
Using RSD Lite 5.7
newest moto drivers (as far as I know)
Have all my SDK tools
Have fastboot and the adb...dll files
The two computers I have tried on are a brand new HP running Windows 8 64bit and an older HP running Windows 7 64bit
I have been linked to so many threads that never worked.
Any steps, advice, link to new drivers/programs files ANYTHING would be greatly appreciated.
And yes I have the typical Wifi/BT issues as well as a messed up digitizer, but it isn't bad enough to replace yet.
there's a lot of things which can be done... I found this old link which may help? http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/85578-win-7-rsdlite-detecting-probelms-resolved.html
there's also this http://www.droidforums.net/forum/te...33-rsd-lite-does-not-recognize-my-moto-3.html . One of the main points seems to be making sure that you are running RSD as administrator by right clicking on RSD logo and selecting 'run as admin'
Actually great! Thanks!
Will try then post results.

[HELP] Softbrick which I can't use RSD (Unknown Device)

Hi,
First of all, excuse some error typing. My english is better reading than writing!
To go direct to the point, I, by mistake, erased BMM via app. Then I did a reboot and the problem occur.
The thing is: On this phone, I haven't BMM or Safestrap to do the kexec thing to load the ROM. I think with fastboot command and the right file I was able to resolve the problem. BUT, the phone in Windows is recognized as UNKNOWN DEVICE, and even on other pcs with Windows (which I installed the moto drivers to test too, either in x86 or x64) it still is not recognized. In Linux world I'm new (using Sabayon). I installed the fastboot and adb (its working), but I don't know how to install the proper driver for the razr to try in.
Today I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2047750 and after reading it and searching, I found this too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055839. I think this case is possible my situation too.
I just want a way to restore this phone. Preferably, if possible, just installing again the BMM in some way, or, at least, take it recognizable in windows to flash in RSD.
Did you solve your problem? Long time since I've been here, last time.
No! Since I was expecting to the support of the people here...
I being busy these days and don't have time to try to figure out how to solve this problem.
Thanks for your concern.
