Hi,
I installed bootstrap recovery from "Tenfar's CWM recovery for Motorola Atrix 4G".
Now I can't go in basic charge mode when plugging AC charger (phone switched off).
I tried "Charge Mode" button. I tried to remove app.
What I got is a boot looping on Motorola logo. I can see very quickly (1/2sec) charging logo (with green battery), but it reboots immediately: [green LED, Moto logo,green battery]
Recovery mode working well (when select it from the app).
I have french Orange (stock) rom (4.4.20).
I tried to search for a similar issue in original post, but with no results...
If someone have some ideas
Thank you!
Maybe consider to move on to 2.3.4 ROMS?
You will get a working charging mode also

In fact, I was moving on, and I saw my issue when trying to go in RSD mode (in some tuto, it's said: switch off your phone--start RSD lite--plug your phone... But it is not working on my phone). But since I saw we can go in RSD mode by volume_up+power_on.
So if you say I'll have a new charging mode with 2.3.4, it's all good!
Thanks!
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
Phone died last night, woke up, plugged it in.
Now whenever I turn it on, it goes right into RSD mode.....No, my volume button isnt stuck down or anything.
Also, if i try to switch to android recovery, it wont let me boot into android recovery:/
Someboody help!
Hello, which Rom are you currently running on your Motorola Photon 4G? And are you able to start the Fastboot protocol?
Hi guys,
My XT910 ran Cyanogenmod 11, Kitkat Nightly. Tonight an OTA update appeared (something called snapshot or something). Thought it might fix some thing that were not quite right in my version so decided to update. At some point during this process the screen went black then the M logo appeared than the android recovery menu (i can load it). And nothing else. I tried rebooting, wiping cache, reset to factory, nothing works. Copied several ROM on the sd card because i have the option to update from sd. Nada. I gotta tell you i'm on a Mac and i cant change that this week, no Windows till next week. And probably the battery is draining...
What to do?
This is how it goes:
I can not power down the device
It restarts periodically if no action taken
at first the M logo appears
instead of CM logo there is a robot with an exclamation mark inside a red triangle
i can get into recovery menu by pressing the volume keys
i can choose one of the options but nothing else
when applying updates from sd card (stock 4.1.2, nightly rom or snapshot rom) it goes up to "verifying update" then it abandons
Later edit:if i reboot from recovery menu and when it powers off i press pwr and vol- it goes to boot menu. No windows means no adb hence power off from that menu. when i plug in the charger, the M logo appears andstays there. Question: if it does actually charge the battery and i dont fix it before getting a windows, what kind of rom should i flash? Stock?
OK, I tried updating the M10 snapshot today over my current M9 snapshot that I had installed.
As it was updating, the screen went off and then I couldn't get anywhere past the M Logo, pressing the volume keys I'm also able to navigate to recovery etc.. but that's it.
I was not able to boot the phone off and even though the screen was off, I don't believe the phone was off. When I got home, the only thing I knew to do was to flash a stock JB rom using RSD Lite. But when I tried flashing it a few moments ago, it failed - the battery is low apparently. Putting it on charge I can now see a charging logo on the screen that is not centered, but I believe it is charging. Once I've got some juice I will try flashing it again, and then I think it's a whole process of rooting it, installing SafeStrap again, and then starting over with CM11.
I don't know if you can even get RSD Lite for MAC, but it's the only way I know that should work to get the phone back up and running.
Thanks for sharing.
There is no RSD for Mac, nor something similar. But i've managed to set up a virtual xp machine (modern.ie), installed everything, captured the usb port with the phone stating "usb connected". Unfortunately i just couldnt connect the phone to rsd, no matter what i did.
Oh gosh.
I managed to get my phone back by flashing the stock JB rom and then working from there.
Try going to the boot menu thing (hold down all keys) and then navigate to AP fastboot. RSD lite should see the phone in this mode.
But make sure the battery is OK first. I did manage to charge it to 40% and it then flashed after it had some charge. Seemed to flash it a little differently than other times. Also the phone said "Device is LOCKED", but thankfully it all worked out fine. Now I'm on CM11 09/15 Nightly.
Have you installed the Motorola drivers?
Maybe you can't do it through a VM.

"Device is locked" means that bootloader is locked in our phones,except those few developer edition models.

I'm glad you could do it. Mine seems to charge as well, it's now close to 24h since it bricked and i assume it would just die if it wouldnt charge in that particular state. Fortunately the keys on the Mac keyboard started working again after drinking beer two nights ago so i dont need to trick the virtual machine anymore, but unfortunately i just cannot get the rsd to see the phone on this VM. Probably should try a VM with windows 7 - i guess ill just do that. I have installed the drivers, the VM recognizes the phone (moto spyder adb...) but rsd wont see it, nor the adb driver installer (it needs to identify the device in order to install the proper drivers). I know that rsd is picky when it comes to usb cables, it might just not work with the original cable, but after trying 4 different cables i tend to think this is not the problem
P.S. I'm very upset on Google about killing Motorola and being disrespectful with its own customers (i mean i would have been expecting to be the first to get Android updates, not to wait one year to be able to update from 2.3 and i couldnt imagine they will not roll out RAZR updates after 4.1.2) so my next phone will be a Nokia Lumia. The coolest one, like my StarTac, my V70, my V3, my RAZR...
You maybe successful with a Windows machine
Indeed i was. It was fast and sound, no problems at all flashing stock rom. Though the phone didn't actually charged when plugged in and displaying the M logo. I had to actually sacrifice a usb cable and charge the battery directly.
I have the same problem - I updated to the last snapshot, and did a wipe in safestrap - and got bricked.
Only difference is I can't flash nothing! and in AP Fastboot mode the computer doesn't recognize anything.
Hi, Im new XDA and I signed-up mainly for the purpose of finding the solution to this very annoying bug on my Motorola Droid RAZR XT912. I've looked all over the web to find a solution but, just couldn't find one particular to my problem. So here it is. After trying to install Liquidsmooth V4.0 Nightly, it failed twice. I then rebooted the phone but it wouldn't boot back into CM11. I was then stuck in a boot loop. It would show the motorola sign then show the red triangle over the android and over again. I've tried using the rsd lite tool and the razr utility but cant continue because of low battery and i cannot charge the phone. When I put phone on charger, it shows the moto symbol then turns black. it then reboots and shows the red triangle over the android and does the process over and over again. How can i fix this problem?

When you see that red triangle,press vol+ and vol- buttons at the same time and then you choose "factory reset" option.

The factory reset went through successfully , but after a restart it just continues the bootlop.
In AP Fastboot. When it's connected to the wall charger, it says battery ok.
But when i connect to a usb cable it says battery too low, can not program.
Somehow I need to bypass the battery low problem.
Nothing can be transferred to my phone in this state.
Or is it a way to flash a zip in stock recovery?
Please HELP!!

Put the phone on the charger and charge it for a couple of hours or over night,some people reported that they was able to flash the rom after that.
Or buy the factory cable,it allows you to flash the fastboot file,without battery low warning.It's only for flashing,not for charging.
Actually,you can make one by yourself,it's easy,here's the picture what you have to do
