[Q] weird menu - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It tells me that: os will boot in 5 secs.......and I see rsd,fastboot,and others on the screen and its really just a nuisance...any fix?

It said that to me after flashing a recovery. Flash and unlock a new bootloader? I didn't really bug me but the way i got rid of it was when i flashed a completely stock bell rom then unlocked my phone again and yeah. but i think flashing a new bootloader will fix it.

If all you're missing is the boot logo...

[Q] Problems unlocking bootloader, RSD Lite Failed

I bought my Atrix not too long ago and it came with android 2.2.2 and fully upgraded. Anyways I searched all over the forums and google and found nothing.
I followed these steps shown in a guide at briefmobile but the flash always fails because mine shows up as "SE Flash Olympus" and not "NS Flash Olympus". Does this mean I cant unlock the bootloader to instal 2.3.4? or is there something I'm doing wrong?
In the early atrix days it was rumored that NS meant non-secured and SE meant secured. Sadly, all our devices were indeed running a locked bootloader. Perhaps try flashing pudding , the preinstall sbf or the hktw leak? Maybe in your case you have an unlocked device already (not really i guess but your phone is different)
It looks like you're right. My phone has already been unlocked. Thanks for the reply!
Sorry To Resurrect
I am in USA with ATT
I bought my Atrix 2 weeks ago
I downloaded the OTA upgrade so I was running 2.3.4 from ATT
I downloaded the FULL 2.3.4 SBF and RSD Lite from the development thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
When flashing the SBF my process FAILED to flash and I now have the following message locked on my phone's screen (See abbreviated screen below):

I was able to fix this issue.
I chose FASTBOOT during the the first 5 seconds of the boot up.
I pressed UP on the rocker switch to activate FASTBOOT mode
I UNLOCKED the bootloader
I loaded the recovery image
I loaded AURA custom ROM...
phew... hardbrick avoided...

Your notes on how you fixed this saved my phone (and my sanity!) Thanks for taking time to post it.
Note, what I used to unlock and load the recovery image is on atrix4ghacks (it won't let me post the link) but it is labeled How to Unlock Bootloader and Install Permanent Recovery!
Looks like it lost everything and reverted to 2.2.2 but that's much better than a brick any day

[Q] Need Help!!!!

Hi All,
I have an ATT Atrix and I flashed the 2.3.4 beta from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159385 and forgot to unlock the bootloader. I already have the 1.8.3 radio. Right now the phone froze on Dual Core Screen. I guess this has something to do with not unlocking the bootloader. The phone can still boot to fastboot, the original Android recovery and RSD. But, It won't flash all roms I downloaded saying the signature validation is incorrect. And I tried to flashed the unlock sbf and try to unlock the bootloader. And the RSD lite kept saying unable to retrieve interface and thereby failed.
What do I need to do on this case?
Thanks for you help!!! Sincerely!!!!!!

I would get it into RSD mode (Press and hold power button and volume UP key at the same time, hook it up to your computer, run RSDlite and flash the stock 1.2.6 located HERE!
since you have not unlocked your bootloader AND you used keneths ROM I do not think you can HardBrick your device flashing backwards considering you weren't successful in flashing forwards.
But just in case.... You are responsible for using any dumb ideas I might have!
Next time, please post in the Q&A section as no one likes to see this stuff in the Developers section
Thanks for replying so quick, I will try it out!!! Thanks very much!!!!!!
The flash to 2.3.4 would not work without unlocking the bootloader. Try a factory reset/wipe then RSD as stated above if the wipe doesn't work.

Hard brick if he didn't use the cwm method.

Ok would say wrong section but I got time to maybe help.
Just boot into CWM and flash fruitcake 1.8.3 zip. Wipe before flash, this should boot.
I cannot boot to CWM somehow...

OK, I think you guys "Failed" to read is whole post.... Please read before you comment.
He said he has "the original Android recovery"
did booting to RSDLite work?
The flash back did worked. Now phone boot up and live again!!! Thanks very much guys!!!!!

Note: Once you unlock your bootloader you can never use the method that I outlined for you when flashing back or forward. Just uninstall RSDLite and forget all about it or you will HardBrick your device leaving you with a very expensive paper weight

( Q ) Help on unlocking bootloader and installing CWM.

hi guys,
I just got my atrix, its a nice and fast phone (even before flashing custom rom), i have a few enquiries, hope sifus here can enlighten me on:
1) How do i check whether my phone's bootloader is unlocked or not?
2) I have read the threads in XDA developer, followed the steps and i only manage to get i rooted, on the bootloader unlock part i have used few ways in XDA but i am stuck in the place where it requires u to enter a device unique key in the cmd. ther is no unique key shown.
3) I guess with locked bootloader i am not able to install CWM rite? so i guess i have to settle the bootloader ssue before the CWM ones.
Anyone can help me in this? Thanks in Advance.

1) Screen will say "Unlocked" in the top left corner, at boot screen.
2) For unlocking see Pudding Thread in the Dev section. Install instructions in the OP, along with fastboot commands to enter.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
3) No, you can not install any ROM without first unlocking.
1. To know if you have an unlocked BL, you will read it in the top left corner of the Boot Screen with the M Logo.
2. BY FAR the easiest way to do this is to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 . All you have to do is install the MotoHelper driver from the motorola website(link in forum), download the package in the forum, and open one file that will guide you through the whole process. There is almost NO WAY you can mess up with this.
Believe me, I just unlocked my BL yesterday and it took so long because I tried ever other method first.(Stupid)
3. The above link will automatically install either a stock CWM recovery or Tenfar's version. I know that this can be used to install the Alien ROM, but cannot be used for CM7 or The DarkSide ROM's. to install these, download RomRacers Recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500 , move it to your sd card, and flash it as you would a ROM.
Congrats, after all of this you should be set, just make sure to do backups along the way.
I have managed to unlock the bootloader, but i am facing another problem now, i flashed iblur (rom) and now i am stucked in the "M logo Dual Core Tech" screen.
Does this mean i have softbricked my device?

What recovery are you using. Did you get the one I suggested?

[q] magic value mismatch?

Has anyone ever seen this before? I have reflashed stock recovery to the phone and before i could switch options in the boot menu i was stuck to only rsd or fastboot. I am on 2.3.5 I sent rdl3 to the phone it restarted in bootloader or fastboot just a moto logo i sent the fastboot oem unlock command, peices of derpunlock and also a system.img. now i can choose android recovery in my boot menu but system still wont load.
Did u try doing factory reset from boot menu
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Yes i did try that along with every other option given system still not booting up... but another strange thing ive noticed is that the android recovery is now letting me choose what zip i want to install from my sd card although i cannot because everything keeps failing the signature check. Has anyone been in this same situation?
I think i flashed the ap20bl.img with sv1 but i havnt flashed the microboot because i didnt know what command to issue in fastboot mode. for the bootloader i typed something along the lines of "fastboot flash rdl3.bin rdl3_unlocked.smg" then i think it restarted to only the moto logo was there and i typed fastboot devices it showed my phone so i took the cg file from derpunlock and typed a command like fastboot flash boot cg42_000somthing.smg it said ok finished... ???

are you saying you're on 2.3.5? if you are, your bootloader is permanently locked. it won't do any good to try and unlock it, unless you don't mind bricking. otherwise i have never seen this error before.
if you are on 2.3.5 i'd recommend flashing the electrify 2.3.5 sbf method to hopefully unbrick and return to stock.
Thanx for the reply na7q but I am pretty sure when software says unrecoverable error you have just killed it. When you torpedo root doesnt that kill the xorg server? as soon as its dead BAM!!! your rooted lol i would really like it if some very knowledgeable people on this subject would take a look at this and if they all tell me to do the same thing then 2.3.5 electrify here i come, However, i am not concerned of getting my phone in working order if my phone remains dead for the next few days i dont mind as long is it contributes to this bootloader being unlocked.

with 2.3.5 you aren't unlocking anything. can almost guarantee it! it's going to take a miracle! i'd say just restore it with the SBF if possible and continue on with life haha. i rooted like a year ago so i don't remember anything about it at this point haha. the only thing that was important was unlocking the bootloader! we need a breakthrough on that for these locked users. that miracle hasn't happened yet. or even gotten close.
Try flashing signed boot.img. This seems to me like failed to boot 2 in other words.
You can flash almost anything into the phone, the signature is checked after reboot, so "flashing ok" in fastboot is normal feedback, sometimes even if it's not ok (radio).
Also with recovery, you can choose whatever zip you want, but when you hit install, signature is checked.
Well you see i receive no failure to boot 1-4 i just get stuck at the moto dual core screen with nothing written at the top. Is it possible that i flashed the bootloader sucsessfully and did not flash the microboot? i didnt know the command to issue to flash microboot. The unrecoverable bootloader error seems interesting to me how would i find out what kernal i should/can flash and what would be the command would it be in fastboot? can i install a system.img via recovery or install bootstrap through fastboot or stock recovery?

[Q] Bootloop after Bootloader Relock

I am returning my HTC One, and am trying to put it as close to stock as I can. I have followed other peoples advice, flashing a stock rom and recovery, then relocking the bootloader through fastboot, but once I do that, it wont boot into the rom anymore. It will only boot into HBOOT. Once I unlock the bootloader again, it will boot right into the rom again. What am I doing wrong?

Looks like after relocking you need the Stock ATT RUU to flash it before you can boot the phone which is currently not available . So at this point you wont be able to relock the bootloader , i learnt about it just yesterday when i was trying to exchange my phone.
