he says that because you obviously havent done enough research to know what fastboot is or what it does.
my suggestion is to READ EVERY SINGLE POST OF EVERY STICKY IN THE GENERAL & DEV SECTIONS
that will be a start
We'll I had fastboot as a built in option on my htc inspire is that the same type just were your phone boots faster?

i think you're thinking about something different, fastboot on the Moto Atrix allows you to edit partitions on your phone. you can flash images over the partitions such as Recovery, which makes it really easy to flash custom files onto our phone.
i wouldn't mess with it too much if you don't know what you're doing, like already mentioned in the thread you should try reading all the stickies in the general/dev forum.
then read them again, and maybe a third time just to be safe!

no fastboot is an application run through a command line on the computer that allows you to manually flash partitions onto your phone. it also allows you to unlock the bootloader (provided the right steps are followed)
there is an option at boot for the atrix called fastboot BUT it just gets the phone ready to accept commands from the computer
Oh well I've already done this when I rooted my ATRIX, so is there a way for literal fast booting

the boot time depends on a lot of things, if you want a ROM that boots lightning fast i'd just go with CM7. i've tried pretty much every ROM in the dev forum, and it still impresses me how fast CM7 boots up. i've had my phone go from completely turned off to fully functional in less than 30 seconds with CM7, it's beast mode.

I'm using MIUI alpha ROM at the moment. A little buggy but still pretty smooth so far. Want to ask a question about it but can't because of the ten posts rule. Have been a member for over a year and have never had a reason to post anything till now.
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
mine is rooted but not unlocked I dealt with the custom roms on my og evo but I just wanted it rooted to get rid stock apps and hotspot.
I'm actually a little surprised with how comfortable I am with the stock software. With my Evo, once I learned about rooting, I rooted and flashed a new rom on that thing almost immidiately. Haven't found the need for it with this thing yet. Only thing I've changed was the boot screen.
only couple more posts yeah
came from the evo so far i like the mopho just wish we could get 4g with unlocked boot loader
Came from evo 3d,and before that og evo....and this is the better phone.only reason i rooted was because of bloat.that's it.what really make this phone for me is the dock accessories....i really feel that is the future if mobile computing! !

I am a big wuss so staying with the locked bootloader for now.
I am running Jokers4G locked rom with stock kernel. I like the minimilistic part of the Jokers rom I am very happy with the battery life in comparison.
Hmm, quick test CM9 rom indicates that the battery is discharged like on stock. So, the future of the CM9! Best rom 4 ever!

THANK YOU for this post!!!
I spent about a week reading and re-reading the 1350+ posts on the [ROMS]12/24/2011 joker roms unlocked and locked(4g) thread and a few other other developers threads about rooting/unlocking/rsd/sbf/cwm/flashing roms and pretty much everything in the developers area. My thinking was read everything until I understood it, THEN start doing everything so I wouldn't screw up my phone and end up asking how to fix things. The reading paid off. My phone is rooted, had bootstrap, is now unlocked with CWM recovery, has been flashed to Skinnyrev2-test3.5, is overclocked and undervolted, and modded with 8-finger multitouch.
I went back to the dev forums to thank the devs for their hard work (especially Joker!) only to find that because I spent my time reading instead of posting, I wasn't allowed to post in the dev forums...
So...since this thread is specifically for that, I'll use it to get my post count up to 10. Even so, it will probably take a few days because I am naturally more of a lurker than poster.

Well its either that you flash a new radio, like KB5 or try toggling flight mode. That worked for me when I had ICS.

I have never used a Vibrant before, I am doing this for a friend and I am kinda playing it by ear. This phone is so crazy, coming from a Galaxy Nexus this thing is so complicated, lol.
airplane mode thing didn't work, it cannot find network.
It is doing this with any 4.0+ ROM I try, and every time I flash a new ROM it keeps changing recoveries on me, I've gone thru like 5 recoveries...
Not only that but half the ROMs won't flash, and I cannot find a GB ROM to try out to see if I can get radio working again.
And how the hell do I get into download mode? vol dn + Power just bootloops the splash screen.
This phone is so insane.

Thanks a bunch man, here goes nothing.
I got into a bootloop of Doom in recovery, so ODINed stock 2.2, now I have to root/flash again :s will report back
sigh....
did an Odin stock flash, used the toolbox to root, then used the toolbox to "flash custom ROM" selected this ROM,
it starts to flash then reboots, then gets into a recovery mount error, and restart loop, so now my recovery is borked, looks like i have to Odin AGAIN.
Is there a better way to flash this ROM than the toolbox? I feel like it's using a bad version of CWM or something. Once i root it, what do I do?
edit: I'm going to Odin stock while I wait for reply
Usually when you get into a boot loop all you have to do is go back into recovery in reflash the rom. that should take care of the problem but if it doesent you can always just re wipe and reflash the rom again then reeboot recovery and flash again. don't forget to flash the gapps I c s version

I can't get recovery to load, it crashes and reboots. the actual recovery got borked.
maybe I'm missing something here?
From stock 2.2 I go to root -> flash custom blah, it flashes/loads cwm and I do the ROM.zip thing, then bam recovery is borked...
If you odined back it should have taken away root so you would need to reinsrall packages. Km not gonna be able to help anymore till around d four. Sorry I have band camp

Are you doing a "fastboot boot" or "fastboot flash"? You need to be doing "fastboot flash boot boot.img".

So I've recently been looking into testing tablet mode with my lapdock as webtop has been meh. I can't install anything besides GB roms for some reason. I've performed full wipes with th3Bill's wipe, with paranoid android aroma installer, with fastboot, with cwm. Paranoid android and epinters 10 both just hang on the boot animation, I've tried literally dozens of times with each of them and nothing will work. Does anyone know what's happening here?
Strange. Maybe try re-downloading the roms....

How long did you wait at the boot animation? I've had up to 10 min wait for the first boot but usually it's only a few min longer than all reboots after.

And a factory reset???????
I know its a drag, but you have to do it.
when i go to a new rom i do
1.factory reset
2.format /system
3.flash rom
4.flash gapps
One thing I didn't mention before is that I was actually able to install ICS based roms this summer, and now nothing. I used jokersax's cm9 and the leak installed for me too. I honestly can't think of any reason why this isn't working. I've tried with CWM and TWRP, Like I said, I've wiped my stuff every way I could think of. I'm stumped.
ok, how about format /cache and /osh and dalvik cache as well?

So I finally got something working with a JB rom. I literally formatted everything I could and then install MIUI.US through rom manager and CWM.

Still working on paranoid but not feeling much hope for it. I'm currently just really happy to know I can install even just one JB rom.

I believe smartflash sometimes fails to flash properly ROMs. Also, restore ROM (boot.img particularly) doesn't work. Phone just gets stuck after reboot, so needed kernel re-flash. Also, without S-Off and SCID, for example, latest radio update can't be flashed. So, I believe that's why peeps looking for S-Off.
