Hi, i have the screen always on motorola logo... this is a hard brick? I can put right my phone?

No your just stuck in a boot loop. If you have cwm you can try a factory reset, or flash an sbf if your on an att atrix. Not sure if there is an sbf for other versions.

Do not do it if you flashed the 2.3.4 update or you will have a hard brick. I would recommend starting from 1.2.6 so you can root.

i have this problem after the installation of
[ROM] AT&T 4.5.91 ★ Gingerbread 2.3.4 ★ Beta #4
If you flashed kenns rom you should be ok flashing an sbf I think it would only brick if you used the other method. If you can get into recovery I would recommend just flashing kenns rom again though should fix it

I had that problem I realized it wasn't working because I downloaded the wrong cwm... I had an older version make sure u get the one by the screen shot that says 6/30 or it'll brick. No it isn't hard brick what I did was flash hktw with moto-fastboot and from there I installed gingerbread beta 4 and its flawless it took a lot of help from xda team but I love it I thought id extend my help

Okay, quick question. I've made a back up in CWM recovery. (Unlocked, Rooted yada yada) If I RSD the 154 SBF can I flash back recovery? It's home base ROM or would I need to reflash it? Thanks.

I think if you flash any SBF, you'll lose CWM...So you'll probably need to unlock and reflash CWM afterward.
Yeah. I did that . Knew I would have to. I also found running home base with alien theme and doing a restore after sbf I got some fc's and no service. So unless I missed something this isn't possible with the setup I'm running.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Ahhh that sucks...so you tried updating to the latest sbf and then unlocked and flashed cwm and then tried restoring? Sorry if im confused...but I think because home base was based on an older build it probably wouldn't work..just a guess...
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Tried it from the 198_7 and the 154_5 builds both failed. And yes you got it.

I remember asking qbking a similar question about alien...he said if I tried updating phone and then tried to flash alien rom there would be problems. I didn't ask for details, and can't be sure what the issues are...did u just want to keep over clock?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I wanted to keep the theme. It wouldn't work with 198_7.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
You can flash the de-odexed 198_7 stock based rom and run alien theme over it, cant you?

Tried that. Force close issues

Damn...yeah..well I wish I knew how to theme...i might read up tomorrow..it seems like such a lame thing, but I guess I really liked the menus and the dialer..the blacked out look was sick...this stock blue dialer makes me want to yack.

That is why I am on home base with the Alien theme. I like it. I agree though. The black and green is sweet.

Hey everyone
A friend of mine played around with my Atrix 4g (unlocked from AT&T) and I think he may have accepted the OTA update, because now my phone will boot up fine - just as normal - but then when it has been on for 20-40 seconds at the homescreens, it just says "powering off" and it powers off as if I had shut it down normally. When it's shut down it automaticly tries to start again, and the whole thing starts over!
I'm not very good at stuff like this so if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it, so I can get off my horrible old Nokia back-up phone
First of all was your ATRIX rooted and had a custom rom installed?

Yes the Atrix was rooted but I never a custom rom installed.
Your best bet is to either flash sbf to 2.3.4 stock using RSD LITE, or factory reset it before it turns off on u again.

Well since it always manages to shut me down before I can reach the reset-"switch" I guess that leaves me one option
Sbf it is. But before I post link to all downloads an post steps I need to know what version u have currently on your ATRIX right now.

Www.das8nt.com/downloads.html if u have at&t it will be second green box. Click on 4.5.91(2.3.4) service SBF(stock)
Then go to first green box and click on RSD Lite 5.6. (MUST HAVE DRIVERS INSTALLED)
sent from "ATRIX-BEAST" using voice commands.
That seems to have done the trick! The phone now boots up normally, and all the At&t crap is back
How should I update my phone to the newest version? It's now running android 2.3.6 with the system version being 4.5.141
Thanks for all your help!
Your ATRIX is now 2.3.6 u see it worked. Now what ever u do do not downgrade back to 2.3.4 or even re-flash the 2.3.6 it will just brick your ATRIX. Now if u want to root it u would have to look if there's even a root method for 2.3.6.

1st if you haven't tried it yet go to recovery and do a wipe and reset.
If that don't work...
Find the Electrify 2.3.5 USC_19 sbf file you can install to get back up and running. But its not sprint. You have to install a couple of other files to get the sprint radio and wi-fi to work. It's all here, google is your friend.
Good Luck.
The 1st reply you got has the info to get you back to sprint.

The error is actually ok just pull battery out and put it back in and turn on the phone, us cellular boot screen should come up and also it may take a little time to boot up completely to home screen.

Yes , It worked ! It has reached the home screen..Now what is the next step????
From the other thread.
Full
After flashing this, you need to flash locked custom rom, "2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image" and some sv2 sbf radio, for working Sprint services, including 4G.

After rooting my Motorola Photon 4g running on android 2.3.5 through Torpedo method. I am unable to enter into RSD or fastboot mode. The screen stuck at "entering into fastboot /RSD and I need to remove the battery to restart the phone.
While My phone is working fine, however, i need to install bootstrap and also worried that if something goes wrong, how, i will be able to back to normal.
Response would be highly appreciated.
About all you can do with 2.3.5
Is boot strap.
You hit volume up or down or both? Sorry it's been a while.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Really appreciated.
However, the links are broken to download bootstrap recovery which you have provided. Kindly let me know from where I can download the same and how to install it. Moreover, what are the custom roms available. I am afraid that these will be locked ROMs only.
Regards,
I have rooted the phone with Torpedo Direct ver 1.1 and then installed peetr's locked Rom. Phone is working fine but i am not able to enter into recovery and only I see is the android logo with yellow triangle.
Can anyone help me what to do?
