I had an atrix that was rooted. All was working well with the stock rom running (Bell). It then rebooted itself all of the sudden and now its stuck at the moto logo scree with the error "Boot error 2; starting RSD."
I did the research and tried the hard reset (power and vol. down). Tried to do the Motorola update but it doesn't connect to any computer via its usb. Tried putting the appropriate .zip on a micro sd. PLEASE HELP
Try the pudding.

Do you have any recovery installed? And check the pudding thread that may be can be helpful
This happened to me when i tried to install CWM using rom manager when i didnt have my bootloader unlocked. You can flash the SBF and restore that way. Or you can flash the pudding zip using rsd lite and it will return you to stock but w/ easy set up for root and unlocking bootloader. Pudding is really easy. Check out the thread. Basically just download the file and flash it using RSD lite. Problem will be solved.
I fixed it the long way. Telstra SBF flash then unlock and away I went. Still can't install gobstopper said bad file regardless of how many times I have download it.

I get the message failed to boot 0x1000 Entering NVFLASH RECOVERY MODE.
I had installed Cyanogen Mod 2.3.4 and didn't like it at all and tried to flash the sbf to 2.3.3 . Now that I am reading it seems like a dumb move.
This message comes up when I turn it on and disappears quickly to remain at a black screen.
Is there anything I can do?

Yes, it was a dumb move. You should have read all the warnings that said NOT to sbf flash after bootloader unlock.
Anyway, now you need to SBF flash 2.3.4 with pudding and you should be good to go.
How can I flash sbf 2.3.4 if RSD Lite doesn't show anything? Or should I be using a different program like fastboot?
Do I just redownload the 2.3.4 cyanogen and install with the program you suggest? I am unsure how this will work because the computer doesn't beep or anything like that when I connect it.
Thanks for your help.
We don't have the program to nvflash our devices. You can try to get motorola to replace it but but otherwise i believe you're screwed

the only two sbf's that are safe to flash for people who installed the OTA update to gingerbread is the 2.3.4 sbf and the pudding sbf.
any others have the possibility of hard bricking your device, and nvidia hasn't released the nvflash program; therefor we're stuck at this step. no way to recovery from it.
What about these people I read about hacking up a usb cable ?

That is to rsd flash without a battery, in case you flash when your battery is too low and the phone dies mid flash

We don't have the program to NVflash an atrix. If you can get into rsdlite mode to flash an sbf you can fix it, but if
nvflash is your only option then you are hard bricked

Nvflash may never be released...
Rooting should never give you any problems. Unlocking the bootloader and putting on a custom rom just requires some reading and more reading beforehand but isn't too hard if you follow the instructions.
Atrix 2.3.4 - 4.5.91
First off, I've done like 10 hours of researching today so please bare with me.
I thought I had unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone in the past. I'm able to tether so that was a sign I did it.
Today I attempted to install romracer cwm based recovery with rom manager. When i tried to install Rom from the sd. it restarted and said "failed to boot 2" after doing some research it said it was possible my bootloader was not unlocked. Now I think i did the right steps back when.
How do I find out for sure if my boot loader is unlocked.
I'm doing all this because Im attempting to get my phone back to stock as can be. I want to get it back to warranty for the following reasons
1) my video play back is all messed up on my recorder. (will a sbf fix this)?
2) when i insert a external sd card to my atrix, my screen sometimes turns black when it wants to).
So this is where i'm stuck. I read the newbie threads. Thanks for all the info. But man this "failed to boot 2" scared me. Luckily it didn't brick my phone. Took out battery and it started back up.
Help please
If your unlocked it will say unlocked in red letters at top of screen when turned on. If you aren't unlocked its possible you have just rooted your phone I think not positive that a factory reset would unroot your phone. Just go into recovery hold volume down when turning it on cycle down with volume down and choose with volume up in recovery both volume rockers are used to navigate and power is choose.

Use pudding thread to unlock your bootloader, install Rom Racers CWM via fastboot after you are unlocked. If you want to make sure you are rooted after that, use the Moto root, stuck at top of the General section.

You can flash to stock if your bootloader is locked. I did it and worked like a charm.

Hi,
Could someone please help me? I'm trying to get back to full stock (well as close to it as possible) to either eliminate my problem or send back under warranty...my problem is detailed in this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500220&page=3# ...basically my Atrix just will mot stop randomly rebooting/locking up with the screen off (needing a batter pull).
I have tried running RSDLite 5.6 in exactly the same way I unlocked the bootloader but nothing seemed to happen...RSDLite went all the way to 100% but all my phone did was reboot normally. Weird thing was, I didn't get a reboot for nearly 24 hours....and then they started again, quite regularly. Did I do something wrong? I though that SBFing it through RSD would just reflash completely back to stock.
Also, in case I cannot get rid of this REALLY annoying problem, I want to hide the 'unlocked' text at boot ...how would I go about doing that?
Thanks,
Mark

How could I tell? I have the IHOP _Bell file and the SBF file is just titled SBF_Flash
It worked a couple of months ago when I unlocked the bootloader
If you're trying to go back to stock then you have to find the official SBF. It sounds like you're using the same files that you used to unlock it in the first place.

Use a Fruitcake or you will brick
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Please don't spread misinformation. Using RSD does not automatically result in a brick. I have used it numerous times flashing Official (AT&T) SBF builds and I am still using the same phone.
With that said, it is not recommended to use RSD (which I agree) but it can be used with caution and some knowledge/research in tow.
One precaution, do not flash previous builds (SBF).

Im really scared. I have an atrix rooted and unlocked. I had neutrino 2.7gt on it and due to being buggy I chose to flash ee, but did so as an update. It worked but then I had to format my sd card and re flash the addons and when i did i got stuck in a bootloop. so i tried to get into android recovery mode and now I just have a blank screen please help me.
Try flash a SBF Rom via RSD Lite. Take care, you must be careful. This is not a hard brick, so there is a solution. Tell me when you do it
How do i do that
This exact same thing happened to me with the blank recovery screen and boot loop, what I did to fix it was wiping my recovery via fast boot then flashed neutrino2.7 again using rom racer. It turned out that notorious posted a bad link to the rom that resulted in this.

Its recommended not to sbf flash, but seeing as you offered no alternative method, perhaps you should delete your post. I also have used sbf flash to recover from a soft brick and confirm it works. You will need the last firmware you use for stock.

Don't forget to wipe all you can . You can find Stock SBF Versions and how to do it easily here
If you're not comfortable with rsd you can use fastboot as well.

The same thing happened to me. I used fast boot and erased the recovery in fast boot and then fast boot flashed cwm recovery using the zip. File from their website

Both of you:
Just because you flashed a SBF after unlock and didn't hard brick does not mean it's OK to do it. There are warnings all over the forums about flashing a SBF after unlock. You should NOT flash a SBF, plain and simple.
I won't delete my post. My post stands, The post prior to it recommends flashing a SBF. I need offer no alternative to tell the OP that this is bad advice!

Warnings against unlocking bootloaders.. did you stop at those warnings? Warnings about flashing custom ROMs, did you heed to those warnings as well? The only reason they SUGGESTED not to use rsd is because it runs the most risk! Your phone loses connection from your computer, you get hard bricked. Phone loses power during flash, hard bricked. Cwm is the quickest and safest (as is fastbooting) but doesn't mean you can't use rsd. Stop being a troll.

Hi.
Please help.
I need to reset my phone to factory defaults. (as im sending it back to orange for a replacement).
I have rooted my phone, but havn't unlocked the bootloader. (rooted using peet's tools)
Its running stock orange UK 45.31.0.MB860.Orange.en.GB. (have never applied a rom to the phone).
I installed the CWM manager(months ago, as i was looking at the roms) from the play store, which installed the clockwork mod Recovery on my phone.
(however this i know wont work as i havnt unlocked the bootloder !)
Now when i try and perform a factory reset, (on button and vol down button).
I get the option for Android recovery.(as well as a shed load of other options).
When i select this with the vol up button, it errors with the following.
Failed to boot 2
Then when i press the vol up button the following is displayed.
Starting RSD Protocol Support.
I dont want to unlock the bootloader, i just need to ability to run android recovery and return the phone to its original state.
(So Orange accept the phone under the orange care agreement).
Please can you advise...

Thankyou so much for your help...
I found the correct sbf file for my stock Orange uk GB 2.3.4 phone.
and managed to flash it, all be it with a couple of heart stopping moments.
(whilst the phone restarted into different modes, windows started searching for drivers !!!. even though i had installed them already..
This caused it to fail early on !.. after the main download.
However a restart later, and another issue. the phone has now been flashed back to the correct stock image..
Note to self, ensure windows is never set to auto install windows updates....
flippn thing caused the usb drivers to reload for the atrix phone.
still. one happy atrix customer..

This has a load of sbf files..
Specifically, the one i needed was.

This worked a dream, putting the phone back.
(ive now got this replaced by orange).
Good luck....
and remember, before you do it, ensure windows is set to not auto update windows updates !!!!....
