Guys I need help now please! I rooted, unlocked bootloader and followed a guide to install 2.3.4 on my Orange UK Atrix. First off it woiuld just flash the boot screen. But then I found out that i hadn't flashed a boot img and didn't know what tegra I was so I flashed both witha reboot ebwteen. Now it doesn't flash. I can access rsdlite and fastboot and have tried flashing an sbf I used in the root guide or whatever. EUGH THANKS
Fixed. Flashed a rom/kernel from recovery. Access it by holding volume down and power, then scrolling through options with down. Then press up on recovery.
Im assuming you already know this but make sure with every ROM flash / recovery change / kernel change you wipe things properly or things from the previous ROM could bleed through. And that will cause problems. Good luck, and have fun
I'm in the same boat , i installed the French SBF 2.1.1 , then rooted , and then i tried to go back to stock bell 2.2.2 but wont install
Well I'm now stuck on the boot screen again after trying getting Alien on there, but now trying something different and not even able to get that! Also, what's this fruitcake thing? It doesn't seem to help. Going to flash completely stock and start over after work! Flashing a 2.2.2 UK Orange sbf should be fine right? Thanks.

Now what to do ?
I have managed to get back to Aura ROM
now will try to go back to stock.
Booting Aura rit now (y it is taking forever to boot )
Finally out of CM7
Now trying to go back to stock
Well, not sure what happened there, you can apply the ihop_bell again to see if that fixes it.
Cheers!
I managed to get back to Aura ROM and tried to flash bell 2.2.2 zip and process aborted i think that zip only works with tenfar's unlocked CWM only that managed to fully flash the rom but stucked with boot loop.
Now going to flash Alien rom (personally Aura removes blot and adds his own crap)
Nop bell stock 2.2.2 is giving error in all 3 recoveries

Hi,
If you backed up your pds partition, try restoring that. Probably some sbf you tried modified it, changing the signature maybe.
Cheers!
I didn't backed-up any thing (no need of backup)
if u have any then let me have it
Nop dont have any backup, didnt bothered to keep any backup. now i am thinking i was so wrong
Hi,
I just threw that out there, it's the only partition that I don't touch, but sbf files can modify it, since I got my replacement phone I have never used a French/Orange/ATT whatever sbf, so that's probably the difference. My backup is the 2.2.2 Gobstopper really, I also have a pds backup but it's useless for other phones.
Only other idea would be to change the radio first, there are radio only sbfs out there, go for the .15P one for Bell. Once on my previous phone when going from Telstra and French there were issues due to the radio if I recall correctly.
Cheers!
hi there i have been flashing roms on my atrix for a while now but i came along a rom called honey rom which made me use a special version of clock work mod recovery .after using the rom it would keep crashing so i decide to sbf it back to original which it did but then found the clock widget didnt work when plugged into the dock.and when i put clockwork mod recovery on it from the market and tried booting into it ,it would reboot and say fail to boot 2?so i have been trying to flash the original stock tmobile sbf on it and now rsd lite gets 100% of creating the image then says fail to process can anyone help or have got a properly bricked atrix and if so any suggestions on how to get it fixed .im on contract so worried on how to approach tmobile with the said problem
i am on att and i got this same error when i rooted and installed cwm... i had to flash back to a stock sbf then root then unlock my bootloader then recovery worked... not exactly how it works on a tmobile version. but maybe try it again. if not.... you still may be able to get warranty... a few people have been able to use warranty through carrier or motorola... even with root and unlocked bootloader. never hurts to try all options.. good luck!
after flashing rsd light
i have read your comments about you flashing stock rom through rsd lite. just a little suggestion that might help, maybe your battery is to low to flash any rom because i know that atrix has a cap for flashing rom when battery is low. Meaning if your in a certain batter percentage you are not able to flash any rom whether rsd or cwm.
Hey guys, i think i bricked my Atrix. I was trying to flash CM7. The phone is rooted, SIM unlocked, and was running the stock 2.3.4 ROM on ATT 4.5.91. It was fully funtional (well aside from endless reboots, hangs, crashes, etc) until this evening. it wont get past the dual core screen. i need this damn thing for work. preferably by tomorrow.
heres exactly what i did, in order, and with whatever versions i was able to remember.
I snagged the latest CM7 ROM, Dec 10.
Also snagged ATT latest radio ROM.
had Clockwork Recovery installed already
-DEVICE IS ROOTED, BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED AND SIM UNLOCKED-
batch backed up all user apps
attempted to boot into CWM recovery with power+vol down
-kept getting android exclamation point icon
-plugged phone in and went via CWM (when it boots, if its plugged in i get into recovery mode)
went to backup and restore, made backup of internal SD card to external SD card
installed CM7 ROM from EXTERNAL sd card (just noticed it says to install from INTERNAL SD card)
did NOT data wipe/factory reset, was rushing through and totally forgot
DID wipe cache partition
installed latest radio ROM
attempted to reboot
all i get is the dual core screen.
can i reflash, wipe, or reset it via RSD lite, or some other way? NV flash? any help would be great; i have an old HTC tilt i can use but good god who wants to use THAT nowadays?
...and btw i am not so much a noob as much as i am impatient; i rushed through this (i have screwed with this phone and others a lot, and should have paid more attention. i JUST finished building 2 home server rigs tonight, including manually recovering files from some fools RAID0 arrays and got cocky
Have you tried redoing the process? Doing proper wipes and then installing cm7? Also, how long did you wait until you decide it was no good?
let's say if you can still go into CWM recovery, you can try factory reset, and then do the installation form the zip again. don't forget to wipe the data this time, but according to what you've written, you only see triangle with exclamation mark (default android recovery??), then may be you can choose RSD mode at the start-up and flash a stock ATT Rom first, then, follow the correct footsteps. Don't worry, Atrix is really hard to be bricked totally.
i cant get past the dual core screen, but i do have access to RSD lite and it sees the atrix, so im waiting for the same stock 2.3.4 rom to download, flash, and retry (correctly this time). thanks so far! i have NEVER been able to access recovery via vol down and power for some reason on this phone.
EDIT/UPDATE
well, attempting to flash the original SBF via RSD lite 5.6 didnt help; now i get the dual core boot screen, but i cant enter RSD protocl support OR anything via power/vol down, and upon turning it on, the screen no longer says 'unlocked'. awesome.
i get to 99% flashing the stock SBF, and get this message. RSD lite is no longer recognizing the phone, vol up and power does nothing, basically i have the dual core screen and thats it.
'Error switching phone to BP Pass through mode'
...thoughts?

DO NOT take this advice! Flashing SBF after unlocking bootloader can absolutely be the fastest way to brick your phone. Also, it is very easy to brick your phone!
Can you get into fastboot?
Try a full wipe per below:
reboot to fastboot
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
fastboot reboot (to recovery)
flash ROM
If you can't get into recovery, you can flash the ROM through fastboot, and also flash romracers recovery.
This will give you the cleanest install. After flashing CM7, leave your phone sitting until it boots into the OS, which can take 15 minutes. I believe the long first boot times after flashing are due to the kernel being flashed with the ROM. Then leave it another 10 minutes before flashing the radio, (latest radio for ATT Atrix is 36P radio found in the Fruitcake thread).
yes USE FASTBOOT

ok things have now gotten VERY strange. First off, my Atrix was SIM unlocked, bootloader unlocked, and rooted on 2.3.4 4.1.91.
for over 5 hours i tried everything, figuring it was hard bricked. i went to sleep, with the intent of heading over to ATT to get it replaced under warranty.
...power it on just for the hell of it, and IT BOOTED. stock 2.3.4. does NOT accept the t-mobile sim (NO LONGER SAYS UNLOCKED ON BOOT SCREEN), and apparently is not rooted OR bootloader unlocked from what i can tell. i had left the battery out the whole time, but left it plugged into the wall charger.
so now i guess i root, BL unlock, SIM unlock, and CORRECTLY flash CM7... FUN!
UPDATE
Rooted, bootloader unlocked, SIM (still) unlocked, and running CM7. thanks to everyone! i still have NO IDEA how it went from a hard brick to a stock boot, with locked BL and no root.
Your bootloader won't lock again and when you do a stock sbf it will get rid of root.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
i am aware the BL cannot be locked again, i went through the process mostly because i wasnt sure, my phone no longer said unlocked in the top left, so i also checked to make sure it was SIM unlocked. i have NO IDEA what/how i did what i did, but im up and running CM7 now, so no worries.
I got myself a bricked Vibrant from someone and trying to fix it.
I'm guessing the dude tried to flash captivate stuff on it, because the boot image is AT&T.
Anyway, I was able to odin back to stock 2.1, which seemed to make the power button work again because it would start up and show the AT&T logo but that's it.
Then I tried odin'ing a vibrant bootloader, which got me to replace the AT&T logo with a green andy logo, but same thing, stuck.
So I tried reflashing 2.1 with odin again. Now the boot logo is back to the stock i9000 > Vibrant, but then it stops here. I can't seem to be able to enter the 2e(or 3e?) stock recovery.
Any idea on what else I can try flashing to it?
Update: I tried flashing the froyo bootloader, which did get me to the stock recovery, but again - i can't seem to get this phone past this stage, doesn't boot into the OS.

So what is your desired ROM after flash?
I suggest that you should flash it to LidDroid with Vibrant bootloader. From that, you can upload the phone to 2.3, 3.0 or ICS 4.0 ROM.
On mobile now so I cannot giive you the download links for needed files. If you need them, just post a reply in the thread.
Thanks, I tried LidDroid
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058802
And flashed Froyo and GB bootloaders, nothing is working. It just shows boot screen then still shuts down.
Update: Well I'm not sure what the issue is, I was able to get it to boot to the lock screen once, but then it shut down right after. Now I can only get it back to boot image before shutting down.
The thing I noticed is that the phone gets hot really fast, so maybe it's drawing too much power somewhere and its shutting down as a protection. Also the stock batteries don't seem to work for it, just this particular battery that it came with, which the contacts on the battery are flush with the edge of the battery instead of indented like the stock ones.
What you should do is take out your sim card and external sd card if you have one, use odin to flash back to stock rom (either 2.1 or 2.2), wait for it to load up as it might take a few minutes after you see the Vibrant logo (just be patient). If you get this far and you see the operating system, flash clockwork recovery on it.
If you can get this far, let us know then we'll talk about custom roms. The main purpose now is to get it running stock, we can worry about the custom stuff later.

Sorry I'm a noob at all of this. Successfully rooted my phone today thanks to Honsoon2000's excellent tutorial and toolkit. Then I went to install Android Revolution, which appeared to go successfully and then after I flashed the kernel the phone wouldn't load and just hangs at the quietly brilliant screen. I followed Honsoon's tutorial to the T (or so I thought) and everything went perfectly until right at the end when I flashed the kernel. I can make it back to the bootloader screen though it says "failed to load usb master mode". I can still make it into fastboot and recovery mode...tried recovery, and the process seemed to go sucessfully, but the phone still wouldn't load after...tried reinstalling ARHD-- it's still on the sd card and the install procedure still goes off without a hitch, but the phone still won't load. I've searched around and tried everything I can, to no avail. Any help would be muchly appreciated, and I apologize in advance for being a noob wasting people's time.
Edit: For example, when I follow the steps outlined in the FAQ it asks me to enter the command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' , but when I do it says 'error: cannot load boot.img'.
Edit 2: So I put my boot.img file from Android Revolution into the data directory of the rooting toolkit and was able to complete the above flashboot command. I was also able to install the ROM off my SD card...however the phone still hangs on the Quietly Brilliant screen...I can't even power the phone down...whenever I try it just reboots...frustrating...really hoping someone can help me...cheers.
Before you begin, make sure that the drivers for the One X+ are installed.
Place the boot image being used on the computer's hard drive.
Boot in to recovery and flash the ROM.
When that is done, boot in to bootloader and connect the phone to the PC via a USB cable.
If the phone isn't in fastboot mode already, use the volume keys to highlight the word "fastboot", then press the power button.
Now, there should be text at the bootloader screen that says "Fastboot USB".
Finally, use the toolkit or command line and flash the kernel with the fastboot command.
This should successfully flash the ROM and the kernel. Make sure you full wipe before flashing a new ROM. If you can't seem to get the new ROM booting, the final choice is to relock the bootloader and run a RUU.
Which phone version you do own? International or AT&T / TELUS?
Did you flashed the correspondant boot.img? Did you cleared the cache? ( fastboot erase cache)
I'm trying to run an RUU but it keeps saying the battery isn't charged enough to flash anything...and this after it's been plugged in all day. Oh dear I think my phone might be done...really sucks :/
Also, it won't let me power the phone down-- every time i try it shuts the phone off briefly and then opens back up to the bootloader screen.
Fixed thanks to sarcasticphoenix. Cheers.
OK so I've tried 3 times to flash a new ROM onto my phone (Android Revolution twice and Eleganzia once) using Honsoon's toolkit...I've followed every instruction to the T as far as I can tell and all 3 times the process has gone perfectly right until the end when I flash the kernel...after that when I reboot the phone it just hangs at the Quietly Brilliant screen. I know how to relock the bootloader, flash the custom rom and get my phone back...but I really want to know what I'm doing wrong so I can install a custom ROM. I know I'm using the right ROM for my phone and am wondering what gives. Being driven crazy here...any ideas what's going wrong here would be helpful. BTW on the last attempt right after I finished and the phone hung I went into the boot loader and followed the instructions in the FAQ for fixing a bootloop...still nothing.
Edit: Solved my problem-- I managed to successfully load eleganzia...the only thing i did differently the last time was flash the kernel BEFORE installing the ROM off the SD card.

That's usually what I do first, flash the kernel and then install the zip via recovery
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
Which kernel are you referring too? Actually there is one or two kernels available but only for the International version, not the AT&T/TELUS which you seem to have.
I strongly suspect that your boot looping was because you didn't flash the boot.img file correctly or not at all. And you don't seem to install the good ROM version for your phone.
Elegancia has two ROM versions one for International and one for AT&T/TELUS users.
ARHD is for International users.
Please read Q12 of the FAQ.

Lol...yeah I don`t know how I missed that. I ended up getting elegancia successfully flashed and loaded so all is well. In retrospect this was a good experience because there`s nothing like having to get yourself unforked from a bad situation to gain an understanding of what`s going on. Cheers.
I have a couple questions and since I`m not allowed to post yet in the elegancia thread I'll try in this thread first:
1) An elegancia question: Is there a way (widget) to toggle data roaming on and off in this ROM?
2) Is there a way to tweak settings (transparent pull down, selection of launcher etc.) without wiping and reflashing the ROM?
3) What are people's favorite launcher for that ROM? I tried Atom but it was just a guess because I hadn't heard of any of them. I like it so far but am curious about the others.
