So I attemptted to unlock my bootloader for the Atrix, 2.3.4, and it was already rooted. I was using this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 and using the following video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6a0BWquqAc.
Now I was at the screen where it said that the Boot Failed and I took out my battery and put it back in. Now I am stuck on this screen.
SVF:105:1:2
Failed to boot 0x1000
PwrReason: PWT_KEY_PRESS
Starting Fastboot Protocol Support
It has been on this screen for a while now and I am very confused on what to do and how to do it. Any Answers? Did I brick my phone? How do I unbrick? I have tried to take out the battery and did a lot of combinations but nothing is working. I'm sorry, I am a noob at this. Thanks, any help would be appreciated
So instead now I am able to choose between the modes (Recovery, Fastboot etc.) but now when I try to go into fastboot mode it says my battery is too low. It also won't charge at all. Would using someone else's Atrix battery work?
yes another battery would work no prob and i used same method to unlock. mine froze rite after and couldnt run the fix. pulled battery for 30+ seconds and was able to run the fix. another option is to find an external charger

I just tried unlocking the BL from my official AT&T gingerbread using this guide, I tried flashing the sbf file with RSD and it got stuck and now my phone stays at this with the difference that mine gives me the option to try fastboot, RSD mode, Android Recover and another pletora of options I'm not sure i want to name.
So being able to try RSD again, i tried flashing this and it was appearently working but when it tried to set the device on BP Pass through mode, the device would go back to the Infamous screen and it wouldn't move from there.
Am I screwed? Do i have option?
I'm going to try to flash the stock FW to see what happens

use the automatic unlock tool found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871&highlight=automatic
do option 1 then option 3 (only use option 3 if on gingerbread) and you're good to go
Fastboot then use fastboot oem unlock command on PC. Reboot and it should work.

I forgot to mention that my phone seems to be low on battery. Does it charge if it's not on the OS?
Noob Killed his phone
Hello, First time Poster here, please bare with me...
I really shouldn't of touched this.....
I have an Atrix w/ the newest updates to it, and attempted to unlock the phone. Everything started well, then it failed while writing to the device. Now, when I attempt to boot, I get the similar message of
SVF:405;1:2
Failed to boot 0x1000
With a 14 available options. I can get into fastboot, though I honestly am not sure what to do from there. I have the fastboot s/w downloaded, along with the gingerbread OS.
Did I just kill my phone?
I haven't still fixed mine because of the battery, I still have to find an external charger. Though, you can try the link from above.
Ok, I did the steps and now my phone is at a screen with the motorola logo with the dual core name on it and it has the word Unlocked on top of it.
What should i do?
the boot screen with motorola logo and unlock in corner will take awhile to load usually like 10 minutes but if it doesnt load for example i let mine sit for an hour and never loaded i just took the batter o and restart it and it rebooted and worked but use that as a last resort give it some time!
Omg i just fixed it!! Thx for the help!!

i think if the phone can be detected by PC, it should be a soft brick.. it is unfortunate my phone is booting loop and can not be read by PC, you're better than me..
Hey folks,
I'm having some issues with my ATT Atrix. The phone keeps rebooting at the "Rethink Possible" screen. I bought this phone off of somebody on CL. I actually had the phone make it past the att screen a couple times. It made it to the setup up Motoblur screen but when I clicked start it just skipped it and takes me to the "Emergency Calls Only" screen. However the phone would just restart eventually at this screen as well. When the screen timed out I could not get the screen to turn back on at this point unless I unplugged the USB cord and plugged it back in. When the phone was on the Emergency Calls screen, my computer did recognize the phone and it did launch the motorola website. While I had the phone at this screen it did say that it had to force close android.process.com. I am coming from a captivate with rooting and flashing roms so I am familiar with Android. I am just trying to figure out where the problem could be with my Atrix. I am hoping somebody can point me in the right direction. Thanks for your time!
Your best bet will be to SBF that back to stock. Have you tried that yet? If not search for RSD Lite and SBF in the forums. There are several links and guides.
Is it unlocked?
I am not sure if it is unlocked as I cannot get past the emergency call screen. However, I will search SBF and research that option of setting it back to stock. I know when I flashed roms on the Captivate I would enter into recovery mode. I see in the Atrix that I would have to use Fastboot? The only reason I am worried about flashing a rom is that the phone reboots on its own so I would not want to hard brick it if it rebooted during a flash.
If it's unlocked you should see the word "unlocked" in the upper left corner of the boot logo screen, unless it was unlocked then flashed back or fruitcake in which case it will not say unlocked.
You should not have issues flashing from recovery if you have enough juice in your battery, which you maybe don't if you have been letting it sit rebooting. The rebooting is more than likely caused by an issue with a kernel, ROM, etc. Think of recovery as being similar to the BIOS on a PC. You enter into BIOS before the OS boots, etc., and this is before all the hardware has initialized and drivers have loaded, so the problem causing the reboots should not exist at that time. I would definitely try flashing a different ROM, and also a stock kernel.
It never said unlocked when I got the phone to turn on. I am having trouble getting the phone to turn on this time. I have downloaded RSD Lite and the 4.5.91 .sbf file to flash. I am just having trouble getting the phone started. Are there any ways to force the phone on. When I press the power button the green LED stays lit but nothing comes on the screen. When I plug into the charger it shows the moto symbol then goes to the Battery charging screen. Im not sure if the battery is correct because it says BHX5 1500mAh on the battery. Thanks for your help guys!
Update: I can get the phone into Fastboot and then Android Recovery Mode when the phone is plugged into the wall charger. However when I connect the phone to the computer via USB it just shows the green led when the phone is powered on. Anyway I can get the phone to boot into Fastboot while connected to the computer via USB?
Bump. Any way to get the phone to turn on when plugged into the computer or anyone know why there would be an issue of the phone turning on when plugged into the wall charger but only showing the green led when plugged into the computer? The battery shows 100% charged. Thanks
Update: I got the phone into RSD mode and flashed the 4.5.91 sbf but the phone only goes to the Emergency Call Screen. Is there anything else that can be done?

Did you fastboot -w before flashing the sbf? (Guess you don't really need to when flashing a sbf)
What may also help is flashing the boot.img file from whatever ROM you are using via fastboot.
Don't know if this will help, but it solves an issue when flashing to a different ROM from CM7, so maybe will help for you.
I know this might sound dumb, but do you have a sim card installed? Also, try to boot into recovery and just do a factory reset. @CaelanT already pointed out that this should be unnecessary since you flashed an sbf but it wouldn't hurt to try.

EDIT: I reread the OP and realized he had already tried to bypass the start screen.
That is not the correct battery. That is actually a battery used for the Droid X/X2. It seems they have pulled a switch-a-roo on you. (Probably because the Atrix battery could be used as an "Extended" battery in the DX/DX2) Anyways, it should still work but you can find the correct battery online, it should be a BH6X and should have a capacity of 1880/1930mAH.

Thanks for the reply. I tried to get the phone into recovery mode. I get to the Exclamation Point screen but it gives me no options for a factory reset. I saw that you have to touch the lower right hand side of the screen, but this doesn't do anything for me.
As far as flashing the boot.img file for the rom that I used. I flashed the stock 4.5.91 motorola rom. How can I find boot.img and would I flash it using RSD?
Also would it help if I flashed a custom rom instead of the stock Motorola 2.3.4 rom?
Could the battery not being the BH6X rom be the issue for it not getting enough power to stay on by itself?
Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it!
No, the sim card was not installed during the flash. However, I did install the sim card afterwards but the phone boots up and goes to the big green battery charging screen and does not go any further. However when the sim card is not plugged in I can get the phone to go to the Emergency Call screen.

The following are the instructions for flashing the boot.img. this was the solution to bootloops when trying to restore to a different ROM after CM7, but as I said previously, you never know if it will help or not:
1.Open up the Zip file of your current Blur ROM (Ninja, CherryBlur, Alien, etc.)
2.extract the boot.img file and copy to the directory where your fastboot is.
3.Pull phone battery & reinsert
4.Power on phone and go straight to Fastboot mode (Power + Vol Down)
5.Type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (exclude quotation marks)
6.Once flashed, reboot phone using "fastboot reboot"
Sorry, don't know how to extract the boot.img from a sbf. Did a quick search and couldn't find instructions. Not something I have done before. Maybe someone else can help with this. I don't even know if this will work, but anything is worth a shot when you are stuck.
<edit> Which CWM are you using?
You can flash Romracers via fastboot if you are not using it. This may help you get into recovery.
Update: I got the phone to recognize the sim card and make phone calls and get wifi active. But the phone still reboots by itself. I can use all the functions of the phone except it just reboots by itself. I got into the About phone section and it says
Android: 2.3.4
Kernel: [email protected] # 2
I can get into the Android Market as well as everything else. Could this be a hardware issue that causes the phone to reboot by itself within a minute or so?
Edit: I can get the vol up and down buttons to work while the phone is working but the power button is not responsive to let me power the phone off. Could a hardware issue with the power button be causing the constant reboot loop?
Update: I got the phone to function with the OS working just fine (phone calls, texts, emails, etc..) but it keeps restarting on its own. The power button still does not work however, could this be a hardware issue? Thanks

Hello everyone.
I own Motorola Atrix 4g AT&T with 2.3.4 / 4.5.91 Build.
I have read every single thread about Unlocking the bootloader yet I still cannot do it.
First I tried directly the fastboot unlock command for unlocking it but I had an error saying that OEM Unlock is not implemented. Thats OK since the stock bootloader isnt unlockable. So I downloaded RSD Lite as well as the two SBF files (the small pudding and the huge pudding (full version) of AT&T unlockable/pre root) Here is where I got stuck! I have the drivers properly installed and I tried both Windows7 and WindowsXP still i cant get past the boot logo. Here is the situation.
I connect the Phone in RSD Mode. In RSD Lite it shows as NS Flash Olympus and stays connected. When I load the SBF file and press start it gets to 100%. Then phone reboots and RSD Lites says that its waiting for phone to re-enumeration and after a while it gets the error message: Phone[0000]: Phone did not re-enumerate after RAM-downloader was sent.. Phone is still stuck on the Moto Logo untill I remove the battery. If I remove the battery Phone starts.
Am I missing something?
As far as I remember, once you flash pudding the phone will indeed seem unusable. Immediately after flashing pudding you need to go into fastboot and run the oem unlock commands, then you need to flash a custom recovery, then boot into recovery and flash a custom ROM. You miss any of these steps and the phone will very likely not boot.

The problem is that i cannot flash pudding since I get an error message after the extracting process when the phone is suppose to reboot and flash itself. It just reboots and stays with Motorola logo (RSD Lites gives me the error) and phone freezes untill I remove battery. After that when I power on the phone it just loads normally.
So the problem is that I cannot flash pudding.... simply because phone dosnt reenumerate after reboot....
Bump ...
I want to add that the phone dosnt have backlight in boot menus (ak. background light is turned off but i can still see the options in boot menus)
Also I am not able to install OTA Updates I get a triangle on the screen and phone boots into os with failed to update message.
Else phone is fully functional. I havnet done anything except rooting the phone and doing the tethering and webtop over hdmi hack.

Try this automated tool. There are several options to choose from.
Download tool here.
OK. well, I originaly had my friends photon unlocked, rooted and on cm10, all was well except the only way to power it off and back on was to take out the battery for a min and put it back in while holding the power button. Well, I read somewhere that you could fix it by flashing the stock 154sbf and re-doing the whole process of unlocking. Well. I tryed to flash the 154sbf, phone was stuck in bootloops. so I tryed flashing the 198_7 sbf and now its just stuck on the bootloader and says " failed to boot 4". and I cant get into rsd mode nor can i get into fastboot..... just give it to me gently.... is it done for?
EDIT: ok so if I just let it sit for a while, it eventualy goes into rsdmode. only thing is, my battery is too low now.
