Hey guys,
So I properly powered down my phone and went to go into the bootloader by holding vol down + power button. As soon as it opened up the bootloader the phone turned off. I went to turn it on and it flashes the white sprint screen for less than 1 sec and turns off. When I plug it into a charger the light turns on for a few secs then goes away.
I have s-off + cwm.
I have read that if your battery dies in the bootloader after installing cwm your battery won't charge and the phone won't boot. I am not sure if this is the case but was hoping to get some input.
I am not sure what percentage my battery was at when this happened.
Thanks!
Go to bootloader (cwm) and reinstall your back up rom that outta do it. And after download the rom you currently have but replace your old one and flash it over usin cwm

My phone only stays on for 1 second tops. I cannot go to my bootloader. My computer sees the phone even when it won't turn on witch is weird. I also cannot communicate with the phone with adb / fastboot etc. The only thing I have not tried is hacking a usb cable to communicate. Any advice would be great. I will try a battery tomorrow.
ADB
Wow hey ok so I can see the phone in ADB after all... List of devices attached
HT167HX05101 recovery
Is there a way to flash the old recovery?
Or can someone point me to the RUU.exe? Not the ZIP
Thanks!
EDIT:
Well never mind... I had adb and booted into bootloader and flashed team win recovery from fastboot and it failed - sending 'recovery' (5016 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (status read failed (Cannot send after transport endpoint shutdown))
Now the light stays on when I plug in but no longer flashes when I power button and no more adb. I'm screwed
Idk what your problem is since i do not have your phone in front of me, either you deleted an import file and are now screwed no offense and cant boot your phone my suggestion is to either call or take it to the store by gettin a new one. I would tell them your phone got hot all the sudden and just crashed that way its under warentee

can you use fastboot? Also, leave the phone alone and charge it, while off, for a bit. If you come back to a full charge phone and hold vol down and then power, it should boot into fastboot, try running a fastboot command from the PC. Also, you could download twrp 1.0.2 zip and put it on your SD card as PG86IMG.zip, same vol down/power and it *might* install the recovery from hboot. Don't give up yet. In theory if your charging light turns on, you're not bricked.
hopefully this works for me !!
Thanks

Thanks for the help.
I last time I had adb I got into the bootloader by using an adb command once in there I flashed teamwin rec. It failed during install and ever since I am locked out. I can't get any commands. I wonder if it damaged my boot loader. Ill keep trying otherwise I should be able to get it swapped since it does not boot at all

I'm stuck.
I cant get into RSD mode cause when I hold vol up it just goes into fastboot.
IF I vol down it just blinks and turns off...
What are my options.
Pull the battery then try to boot it normally, after a minute or so it goes into rsd mode

Try pulling the battery and put it back in with the phone off plug in your wall charger and see if your recovery comes up

U can't sbf if u can't start rsd protocol
my bad
wow do we have a real one?
if I remember well it would always say failed to boot 2 and rsd would be available .
Is this a Dx2?
Apparently he is getting a failed to boot 1 ..I think I remember seeing this before.
It might be in one of the.older sbf tutorial threads...myabe the one by dag425.
It would be helpful (maybe) to know what was being done that caused this to happen.
Hopefully he wasn't messing with bootloader partitions and signatures or something. I think that would he just about the only thing that could hard brick us.

If u hold power and volume up it takes u directly into "starting RSD protocol "
it is the method I have ALWAYS used when flashing sbf
I am stuck here too! I only have two options:
1: fastboot
or
2: nvflash
I have no idea what the hell eather one does so any little help is greatly appreciated for this noob. Thanks in advance...
So I take it yours says "failed to boot 1" also?
Is this Dx2 or mx2?
And you are familiar w/ booting menu: pwr on wait 1/2 (or less) sec then vol down and keep selecting w/ vol dn then vol up to select . Rsd is last.
IDNK WHAT BUT A REAL BRICK!

yeah thats what i used to get to android recovery and rsd protocol and stuff. this time i can only do fastboot and nvflash. i am also stuck at the failed to boot 1 on boot. Also, it will only turn on when connected to pc/wallcharger...thank you for helping as my problem is the exact same as his. any more info needed just ask. i will try to reply quickly and fix this for both of us
Edit: this is dx2

was messing with settings in BSR idk what it was:

or
2. partition sd card
i think it was the partition sd card part. cuz after that the option to go back went away...very odd. did a batt pull and then got failed to boot 1. i think im gonna have to take it to vzw and hope the guys an idiot
I was trying to unlock the bootloader using a guide called "Motorola Atrix 4G: Full Update Guide." I can't post links, but it should be the first result in Google using the keywords "how to unlock the motorola atrix bootloader cyanogenmod."
I tried to enter the ''fastboat oem get unlock" command, but it wasn't recognized in command prompt. I tried to flash a stock rom but that didn't work either. I have a hunch that I didn't install the drivers correctly... I was running Android 2.3.4 4.5.91.
Anyways, it gives me 14 options to choose from, is there anything I can do?
When you boot, where is it getting stuck? If it's the 14 options, can you post them?

I also have the "Failed to boot 0x1000" issue. Under it are the options.
1 RSD
2 Fastboot
3 NVflash
4 BP HW Bypass RSD
5 BP HW Bypass QC DLOAD
6 BP HW Diag & Boot AP
7 BP HW Bypass BP Only
8 BP SW Bypass RSD
9 Android Recovery
10 Boot Android (No BP)
11 Device UID
12 console=ttyS0, 115200n8
13 Early USB Emueration
14 BP Tools
As now, whenever I try selecting the fastboot option, it says "Battery too low for flash." When I disconnect my Atrix from the wall charger, it shuts off, but the notification LED comes on. It stays on regardless of whether or not I have the battery in.
If you've done the oem unlock portion with fastboot then you're fine and this happens to everyone when they unlock their bootloader. First thing, let it charge for a couple of hours and don't touch it (just let it sit with the LED on, that's normal when the battery is too low.)
In the meantime, check out post #5 here and be sure to read the rest of the thread, good info on this but ignore all of the people saying "it's dead Jim", etc. and to get to fastboot, don't hold vol up and down, just hold vol down button then when it says fastboot, hit vol up once.
What you're seeing is normal but it sounds like you did it on too low of a battery charge which is really dangerous. Always be 100% charge before you start flashing or restoring.

Hi there guys, first of all thank you all so much for the support here.
I have a problem with my atrix, i googled a lot before posting, but i still can't find a solution:
I have a atrix 4G, unlocked, was running successfully neutrino 2,8 version.
After 2 months of being (almost) fully functional, the phone crashed(i didn't do anything particular at that time, i think that i was browsing google maps) suddenly and now i have continuous boot loop, i get only the classic red dual core logo, with the "unlocked" notification over it, and then after 10-15 sec it reboots.
I try to open it with holding volume down, to enter recovery, nothing happens. It reboots again. The computer doesn't see it, in this case.
I reboot it with holding volume up, says "starting RSD protocol suppport", and pc sees it and i get the cling-clong sound of usb.
I would do the recovery using rsd, but i read that it is not for unlocked devices, is this so? What can i do in this case? Thanks a lot!!!

flasing a recovery is done via fastboot so you don't have to enter recovery but fastboot (hold power and volume down till it shows fastboot, then press up) .

hello i had this problem yesterday, it happens in neutrino rom to alot of people!
and btw i could not open recovery either
ill explain what i had to do
i had to use moto-fastboot and install a new recovery, basically your recovery is dead and your rom is unbootable
heres the steps
download the moto drivers and install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1381183&d=1349549067
then download the motofastboot zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1381414&d=1349555102
and create a new folder in C: (computer) called Android and then drag the files from the moto zip into android
Then download a new recovery http://www.mediafire.com/?6ww8wrjrdqq9m97
place the recovery.img into the android folder
now you have all the files needed to reflash your new recovery and fix your phone the whole idea is to reinstall recovery so you can access it and wipe and install the rom fresh again
now you need to do these steps
1) Attach your phone to the PC via USB (use a port closest to the power supply)
2) Reboot phone while holding volume down until you see "fastboot"
3) Press volume up to initiate fastboot
4) On your PC click the Start menu, then in the search box type "cmd"
5) In the command prompt type the following commands (no quotes, hit enter after each command)
6a) "cd c:/android"
6b) "moto-fastboot devices"
your CMD promt should show something like this
C:\Users\Me>cd c:/android
c:\Android>fastboot devices
TA20703SX9 fastboot
c:\Android>
now if that has all worked type the following phrases
moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.4-maguro.img
moto-fastboot reboot
now the phone should reboot, unplug the usb and pull battery out.
put battery back in and then try to boot into recovery like you normally would (power button + Vol Down)
and your new recovery should load!
from here you can wipe your whole system which i would reccomended as your current one is corrupt and install a new rom or reflash your current on onto a clean wipe. if you dont understand how to clean wipe do all of these steps, factory reset, clear cache, clean dalvik cache then go to mounts > storage and format data + format cache + format system
now install new rom and let it boot up, should bootloop a couple of times then start! if not unplug battery from phone and ask for further assitance

Thank you for your help, the problem is exactly here, i put on the usb, i power up the phone by pressing the volume down, and the phone does nothing,doesn't show the fastboot,and after 10-15 secs starts rebooting again. This is my problem!
The only response from my phone is when powering up, and pressing the volume up, it says "starting rsd protocol support"
Is there any case that my volume down is dead?

unplug usb
remove battery, then put battery back in make sure phone off (no green light)
then hold power button and vol down at the same time for a few seconds
Fastboot should appear in white writing then press up volume and it should say starting rsd protocal or something similiar
then plug in usb and follow the steps i have written above
i do exactly what you said, but doesn't show fastboot. from switched off, if i press volume up with power button, i see the message "starting rsd protocol support" .but no fastboot option!
Is there any chance that you can access adb after bootscreen? than you can use "adb reboot recovery" to get there...

When i start up phone, the only combination possible to stop restarting is by pressing power+vol up to show that with RSD. There is no other option then selectable. Power + volume down does not work, doesn't show anything, has anyone of you experienced this thing?
If the only working option you have is RSD, then I'm afraid you're stuck with having to flash a stock SBF. I hope you know/remember exactly what stock version you had installed before any modding or flashing, because the SBF has to match exactly. Choose wisely and read up as much as you can before flashing.
I have over a year now with custom roms, and i can't remember which version i had. Why do i have to find exactly the version that i had? The latest stock version won't work with rsd? It will make it hard brick?If i manage at least to recover the fastboot menus etc it would be great!
I will later also try to open it, to see if the side button "volume down" is not working,.
I have another question, in your moto atrix, if you press on startup power+vol up, are you also seeing the "starting RSD" etc option??

Yes, flashing a wrong SBF will most likely hardbrick your device.

Can't try right now, but as far as I know, yes, that is a standard way to enter RSD mode.
thank you, so, i know that at least my phone responds to some instructions.
Is there anyone else to suggest me to do anything else?
IN rsd mode, (other than flashing a stock random rom with chance of hardbricking,)the phone can be read by usb, can i do anything there?

Sadly no. The RSD mode can only ever be used to flash SBFs. That's it. Nothing less, nothing more.
I will now try to open it to see if vol down is not working well. If it does work, i will select a stock rom 1 year old and i will flash it using rsd, and whatever happens....:good:
I disassembled the phone, the button seems to operate fine(?).
I flashed with RSDlite the 2.3.6 version, the RSD stuck to waiting for phone to restart.
The phone restarted, the "unlocked" logo disappeared.
Starts normally, passes the red motorola logo, shows the graphic of AT&T, and after ~10sec starts restarting again. Bootloop again!
At boot, pressing power+vol up, i can still get the RSD support. Pressing power+vol down does nothing, I don't see any error messages, like the ones in hard brick.
What can i do now, any ideas please!!!

Yesterday I had a hard time getting my phone into fastboot mode, after loading a bad SV kernel,it only wanted to start the RSD protocol mode. I eventually got into fastboot by plugging into the wall charger, then removing and installing the battery while holding the vol button. When fastboot appears, unplug the charger to allow sd access.
Thanks for the suggestion, i tried even this,it didn't work. The funny thing is that it shows the battery charging level full screen if i connect the charger, as it starts.
I noticed also that when i press vol down now, it takes longer to start and continue to the moving red logo, it stays for a while stable red,feels like it is thinking whether to start or not lol (if i don't press vol down, on the power up the red moto logo immediately starts the classic "waving" effects)
Anyone having any kind of suggestion?I guess you don't, right?
Im trying to unlock my bootloader but RSD lite gets stuck at "Please manually power up this phone" even though its already in Android Homescreen. Anyone have an idea?

No its already in the OS itself ready to be used. Nothing happens at all even when I rebooted and oh I cant get into recovery because the bootloader is not yet unlocked.
Basically what happens is I boot the phone into RSD mode, start to flash it with the proper sbf, it restarts a bunch, then it boots into android and stays there, it goes 100% but says "Please manually power up this phone" and then nothing.
Can anyone please help?
The RDS lite completed all the steps, I think at one point the phone reboots not remember.
But if the RDS completes all the steps and says the process finished, restart your phone and see if when you turn says "unlocked". It happened to me (can not remember if unlocking or putting a stock rom) not restarted automatically and told me that it.
