My Atrix is an International set. When I first got it, what I did was updated it to 2.3.4 via OTA. After that unlock the bootloader and rooted (still on stock).
So I thought of selling it to get HTC Sensation, so I unrooted it using SuperOneClick, did a factory reset from Setting > Privacy
Until today where I meet up my buyer, after I slot in another simcard. The Atrix stop booting up properly. It just stucked at the Dual Core screen with Motorola Logo with Green Led after that and back to the same thing over and over again.
Attempted Method:
Pull Battery and let it boot (failed)
Pull Battery and let it rest for 10 minutes, boot (failed)
I can still can access fastboot and CWM Recovery. Tried fastboot -w and CWM factory reset and still the same.
Please help?
do you have motoblur activated?
did you try the original sim card, see if the phone still boots up properly?
maybe the factory reset caused the problem? maybe you can try flash "Fruit Cake"? as long as fastboot and recovery work, your phone can be fixed
you will need the original sim card

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.

Thanks, I'll try it out and post back
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
I have searched and searched and searched.....nothing seems to work.....
I was messing around with my phone (latest update and rooted). I was messing with rom toolbox and was trying to change the theme...
Bottom line, phone is stuck on the M screen (dual core screen)
I tried to do a hard reset but it didnt work... Just goes back to the same screen.
any ideas are greatly appreciated!!!!
Thank you in advance
Is your bootloader unlocked? Do you have CWM installed by any chance?...
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
nope neither
from what you've said it would appear that you've changed something whilst in rom toolbox and as such it won't boot up.
You say you've got the latest update and I am wondering if this means your bootloader is locked now? When did you update your phone? when you start up the phone are you able to get in recovery? (volume down when starting up).
Anything I could suggest is going to be full of dangers (sbf flash for one).
Barry, the phone was updated a few weeks ago. I believe it was running 2.3.6
Any thing that can be done like sbf i am willing to give a try....and yes i messed up in rom toolbox
Soft Bricked my phone
I did the same to my phone as well. I had updated my phone from neutrino 2.7 to 2.8 through CWM. When I booted up for the first time, it worked fine but when I did a factory reset through neutrino, it booted up and then got stuck on the boot screen.
The phone was unlocked and rooted but for some reason usb is not being recognized in the pc, CWM is not loading up and RSD lite wont recognize phone because it is not running Blur. I tried using various commands on fastboot and adb such as fastboot devices and adb device but I dont get anything back..the device seems to stuck in perpetual bootloop. I can get into fastboot and RSd but it is stuck on starting fastboot protocol suppor..
The one bright spot is that LED comes on when i plug in USB without battery meaning the phone is being charged by USB just not being recognized. I tried installing all the drivers and reinstalling them but I usually get a device error on computer which is a 64 bit Windows 7.
I think I am F#Cked..can somebody help me..
theoretically, since I can get into fastboot cant I just go to recovery and wipe the data and then install a update from the SD card?
I would just need to unlock the bootloader right?
it was running the 4.5.141 update.
I can get RSD to show up on the phone and it does connect to the computer.....
FastBoot does connect to the computer

why not give it a try? if it does not work, flash the 4.5.141 update via RSD Lite, if you get into bootloop, push clockwork recovery via fastboot, then boot into recovery wipe cache, wipe davlik cache, wipe data/factory reset, then reboot. if you really can't get it to work you can send it to me so I can try fix it, that is if you would trust me. Just pay for return shipping, you can use usps flat rate box with signature confirmation so you'll know i have received it. I have previously helped a guy in Dell Streak Forum and I have lots of positive feedback in XDA Market place, i just love helping other out, flashing ROMs and fixing broken/bricked phones. Just PM me if you are interested.
I have made progress!
I have managed to unlock the bootloader with the following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
I am still stuck on the same M screen still, it just says unlocked now.....
Where do I go from here?
Looks like all I need to do now is find a way to get the rom onto the sd card so that I can flash it with clock work recovery.....
I tried to mount my external 2 gig card and do it that way but it didnt work....
Any other ideas?
Hello! My brother gave me this phone to repair it kind of. It is fully stock, and when I try to turn it on it either restarts on white screen, or restarts after when the home screen shows up. I went to rooting guides for the phone, and I only unlocked the bootloader. Problem now is that because of the restarts I can't put superuser.zip and cwm img on sdcard since I can't turn on the phone and connect with sdcard. Oh and I did factory reset twice it didn't fix it. Is there any way to fix the phone?
Well now I succeded installing new rom and recovery from SDcard because I put SDcard in another phone. Thing is even now the device turns on gets to customization screen and then it restarts and it has infinite loop. What to do?
Make sure battery is fully charged/ good
Bootloops can sometimes be fixed by flashing boot.IMG through fastboot...but I don't think that's your issue

So I have a droid razr that has (Safestrap 3.73 with TWRP 2.7.0.0)
I flashed a custom rom onto it; a 4.4.4 version and it was working fine for a few days. The phone died overnight, and I charged it to full battery yesterday. After doing so it will no longer boot to the operating system.
The phone can boot to recovery, and the options can be fiddled with there, however I cannot get the phone to get past the blue logo with the spinning arrows. It will stay there indefinitely...
I do not have an external SD card for the phone, and my pc will not recognize the phone in spite of having the drivers for the phone installed before hand. I have tried to wipe/factory reset multiple times and yet it will always get stuck at the blue logo. The option for the stock rom is greyed out in the boot section, and I really need my phone to get some functionality back to it.
I do not have any other image for recovery installed on the phone, only the current rom and gapps are on the install section. I have wiped and tried to reflash but I always get the same result.
Where do I proceed from here? I am very confused and could use some help as to what to do to restore functionality... personally id prefer to go back to stock image but am having a hard time locating the us verizon factory image online, not that I can even get it onto the phone.
