OK fellas. Had newest version of CM7 on the phone (phone is unlocked, rooted, etc). Keep getting random shut-offs while in stand-by. Decided to go back to official AT&T ROM.
Started flashing phone via RSD Lite. Got an error, no changes were made. Flashed again, got a different error. Stuck in boot loop. Erased cache and userdata via Fastboot, flashed AGAIN. Stuck in boot loop STILL.
Basically I can't get into the phones stock recovery, I get to the triangle screen and pressing above the search button does nothing. The phone loads up to the AT&T screen, then reboots and keeps looping at the animated "M" logo - not the M Dual Core logo. Any ideas fellas? 'cause I'm out of them. I even tried flashing a different recovery with the Atrix Fastboot Tool I found on here and got an error.

My question: Can att still tell that at one point my Atrix was unlocked/rooted?

once you unlock your bootloader, it burns a fuse that motorola can check on to see if the device has been tampered with. that's why people say once unlocked, always unlocked.
it's possible to hide the 'unlocked' text at boot, but it's not possible to hide the burned fuse.

I had one, does flashing back to the AT&T stock rom re-lock it? I thought it didn't.. regardless I'm currently flashing pudding with the version of RSDLite in his thread which is slightly different than the one I was using. (red logo vs blue)

I'm sorry to reply so much and take your time, (by the way thanks for the information, really appreciate it)
I've been having (i'm assuming) hardware issues with this phone and I only got it yesterday so I want to swap it at a local ATT store tomorrow. Can I do that without worries in my current state? Will they eventually notice and bill me? Or will I be safe?

pudding has the 'fastboot oem unlock' function built into it, the stock bootloader doesn't. so when you reflashed gingerbread, you replaced the bootloader which caused the phone to believe that it's locked again (even though it isn't)
this causes your phone to have a 'locked' bootloader in every function, except that your fuse is still burned.
after flashing pudding, you should stay away from RSDlite completely and use fruitcakes for all of your stock needs.

i personally hard bricked my first Atrix while attempting to unlock the bootloader, AT&T replaced it without any questions. not to say that they'll do this for anyone, but just my personal experience.
as far as i know, AT&T will replace your phone as long as it's a hardware malfunction, and not anything caused by flashing custom firmware onto your device.

Thanks so much man. I have a replacement phone on the way due to the random shut offs considering people have been reporting it with the stock GB rom too, and it's believed to be a hardware malfunction, I just wanted it to appear more "stock" when they received it to avoid any question asking. Would really suck if I bricked it before hand haha.
I actually like the stock ROM on this phone anyway, probably won't be going back to CM7 once the new one comes in. It's rebooting now with the pudding SBF, we'll see if she still loops or not. If it still loops, I'll flash the modified CWM and the fruitcake ROM and report back. You guys are super helpful, thanks again!
you're welcome, both of you. glad i could help, when i was new i had a lot of help from the community here and i like to give back as much as possible. since i'm no programmer, all i can do is help answer questions for people and make sure they don't screw up their devices.
i hope you get your problems worked out, this is an amazing phone with awesome developers.
also, if you enjoy the stock ROM i would highly suggest for you to check out Aura, it's simply amazing for being a moto-based ROM.

well i'm glad you got your problem sorted out! before you flash any ROMs though, be sure to do a complete backup of your phone as it is right now. it'll help you in case of PDS corruption later on.
What exactly is PDS corruption? And what do you recommend I do a backup with? I've actually never done a backup for any of my many android devices.
EDIT: guessing nandroid, lol google ftw

i'm sure you have CWM installed by now, use Romracer's and do a full backup of your device. just keep it on your phone, with a copy of it backed up on your computer.
the PDS partition is a place on our phone that holds a lot of information about our device, if it gets corrupted you can experience a lot of touchscreen issues. just better to be safe. i flash my phone every 2-3 days and haven't experienced anything, but other people have, so like i already said; better safe than sorry
Hey guys, I think I'm in trouble. Two weeks ago I got an X2, and soon after discovered the Modding and Root world. Needless to say I ended bricking with Rom Manager. Obviously a user error... Anyway, I was wondering if there might be somehow I could use the memory on the phone as an external hard drive or something. Could I install the zipped .sbf file to SanDisk, and if I find a way to get back in to recovery....you see where I'm going with this.
Thanks again

Yes I have. I rooted it initially and everything was fine until I lagged the system somehow with certain settings. The learning curve is not a big one, but its still existent. Anyway, I wiped and flashed .sbf perfectly. It was only when I rooted the second time and opted for a Mod where things went badly...I guess. No warning, the device just shuts off and comes back to the boot screen(Motorola emblem). No fastboot option or anything.

I'd be very surprised if this was truly bricked. When you rooted the second time, did you get bootstrap recovery installed? If so you can pull the battery, leave it turned off and plug it into a wall charger. It should power itself on and take you right to ClockWorkMod recovery and from there you could Use ADB to push a working rom and start off on a clean slate (or restore a nandroid if you made one before flashing mods.)
Otherwise, I would suggest continuing trying to get in the device in RSD mode. Sometimes these phones can be finicky, I know when I first started messing with Androids it would often take several times to get to the Bootloader options rather than just powering on the device.
What was the questionable mod you used?

Have you tried following my tutorial on SBF? Try holding the Volume Up button and see if you get to the "Starting RSD" (or something like that). You should be able to SBF from there.
The link is in my signature or here: HowTo: Perform a SBF ("factory restore") of your Motorola Droid X2
Ciao!
As long as the phone turns on you can fix it. SBF will fix your issue.

Sbf sbf S B F
make sure u charge ur battery full up before flashing sbf file
Like moon said power button and volume up starts rsd protocol
If that doesn't work there is also a thing called ezSBF someone can tell ya bout
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Beta-6
I've tried the fastboot(volume button) method and there is nothing. No response what so ever. I've never even heard of EZsbf, but I'm gonna try it out. Oh, whoever asked about the MOD a while ago....it was gingerbread I think. The only thing I wanted was to overclock my cpu's just a bit, but ended up getting in way over my head very quickly. The light comes on when the phone is plugged in with no battery and stays on. Other than that no change. Hey thanks guys, alot!
No not fast boot
That shows when u press power and volume down together(u need to hold both buttons down)
Instead
PRESS POWER BUTTON AND VOLUME UP AT SAME TIME and hold them BOTH for about 10seconds. U should see "starting RSD protocol..." at the top of ur screen
If u don't then u probly need to charge ur battery
Also
We have NO WAY to over clock due to our locked bootloader. You need to be able to install a custom kernel to be able to over clock and we can't do that.
I recommend not to try any mods or anything outside of this DROIDX2 development forum(don't even use stuff made for original X it will mess ur phone up. And definitely stay away from atrix, photon, etc...even if something says "universal mod/tweak/hack" its most likely gonna break ur x2 cuz the x2 is just a finnicky ass phone lol)
Good luck!

You need to reinsert the battery, keep the phone off, then plug it in to the wall charger. If you had BSR installed it'll boot into recovery.

Yeah, you're right! Still new to threading! I was able to initialize DSP Restore, but I didn't have bootstrap prior to the crash, but beca use the X2 was now recognized I could push the .sbf using DSPlite. Then, once the nano was open I just factory defaulted, because my service wasn't recognized by my carrier.... And they all modded happily ever after. I do have a question though: what do you think about trying the root again and instead of manually removing the fluff programming I get a manger to take care of it? This thing is factory pure right now. Btw, I'd like to call attention to where this is being posted from. That is called success...thanks again.

There is a list in this forum from a long while ago that has what's safe to remove and what isn't.
But the easiest thing u could do is to flash either eclipse, molten, liberty , or cm7
They will pretty much get rid of ALL the bloat that is safe to remove and cm7 will even remove ALL the blur skin along with bloat and give you an AOSP experience with your device
signature: 404 error
I'm going to try it....now!
Its pretty hard to brick these devices with the SBF file Motorola supplies. And just a suggestion for future reference, DO NOT use ROM manager with this phone. ROM manager is more for phones with an unlocked bootloader which this phone doesnt have. Some things will work but some things will mess up your phone.

But make a nandroid first!
That way if u wanna go back u don't need to flash sbf u can just restore ur nandroid and be on ur way lol

Ok, just to check my rationale: I'm going to create a Nandroid, to the SD, but I should download CM7 to my PC and install it that way so as not to lag or cause any complications with the X2. Correct?
After downloading this rom and thinking everything would be just fine when moving to CM7 on my brother's rooted Photon, I come to a boot loop! I tried to use RSDLite to flash a SBF over to the phone, it fails, I try to use Android' Recovery to flash a new rom, fails, and then I try to factory reset and wipe the phone, FAILS! I have no clue what to do here.
I am so used to my Sensation 4G and everything is so much simpler on it, but I have no clue what I am doing with this Photon. Can someone please point me in the right direction of what I need to do? I need some real answers! I've tried tons of guides here on the forums but nothing seems to work!
Normally I could use CWM to fix it all up, but I never could find it for this phone!
Help!

if you dont have cwm installed, i assume that you flashed that rom while in bootstrap recovery because you didnt state that the phones bootloader was unlocked.That particular rom is an unlocked only rom, which is why you're stuck in that loop. If I'm right and you flashed that rom via bootstrap, you should be able to get back into it by powering down the phone, holding power and volume down, then using the volume down key to cycle through the options until you hit 'android recovery', then press volume up to boot into it.
At that point, go to mounts and storage, mount usb storage while phone is plugged into your pc, and place this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648297
On your sd card. After this, go back into mounts and storage and wipe data, system, and cache. Flash the rom you just placed onto your sd card and reboot.
Again, this is all asuming you installed bootstrap recovery, if I'm wrong let me know and ill try to help you further.
I forgot to add, you're also going to need to download a stock blur kernel and place that on your sd card aswell, flashing it after you flash the rom. I can't remember where to find the stock blur kernel but give me a second and ill try to find it for ya.
I don't find that very professional. I think the best you can do is tell me which section it belongs in. At least Acvice offered help...
Thanks you so much! I knew I would have to flash the stock stuff, but I just couldn't find it! Yes, I used bootstrap as I thought it was the only means of getting into cwm. I wont be screwing around after this. Only problem is, the phone is dead! I need to charge it again lol. Thanks for helping. Ill let you know the outcome later.

Meh, you just flashed something you shouldnt have is all. It honestly happens to all of us. You learn the most by screwing up your phone haha.. Figured i would have you try that method as it would have gotten you a nice fast rom and also fixed your problem. But it looks like youre just unlucky. Were just gonna have to get ya back on stock by flashing an SBF.
1) Download the Windows Moto drivers and install them. Make sure you choose 32bit or 64bit, respectively. (quick google search)
2) Download RSD Lite (quick google search)
3) Download the SBF located here and unzip it.
Use this video to guide you through. Some of his links are outdated which is why i linked the one above. If you are used to ODIN on Samsung devices, you'll probably already know what to do as it's the same kind of program. Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

Is it possible to flash an sbf with a low battery? If not, how can I charge this thing?
I'm concerned my Photon is bricked and wanted to reach out to the community for some help. I recently came across a Photon running 2.3.5 which I know can't be unlocked with pudding. I was searching around for options and I came across this post. I was able to find the two SBF files for electrify on motosunfire.com. I know it says not for the Photon but the post I read before said it worked for them. I first tried the 2.3.4 and it failed re-emnumeration (Spelling?) so I figured I would go ahead and try the other. I used RSD Lite to flash the 2.3.5 and it failed to but I can't remember what it error message was. Now when I try to boot up the phone it hangs on the Motorola Dual Core logo. I can't get it to boot into fastboot or rsd mode. Without either of those or a normal boot I feel like I maybe screwed.... Any assistance would be welcomed!
PS I have tried Googling it and searching on XDA and nothing seems to work. RIght now I'm just letting the phone rest. I tried plugging it in to see if I can get the charging battery to show up and again it hung at the Motorola Dual Core screen. I know the battery should still have a good charge though.

I now have a similar problem. I'm a sprint User and was unlocked and rooted using Cyanogenmod 9 and needed to go back to stock. I followed QBKING77s guide on unbricking and going back to stock for your photon and it bricked my photon to rsd mode.
From there I tried flashing the other sbfs and still was bricked. I then saw that flashing another SBF file may get me out of the bootloop I was in on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849526
and now I can't get the phone into RSD mode to flash anything. The phone just hangs at the Dual core boot logo.

Have you try This: Turn if off, then plug it in an outlet, wait to power it by itseft, then wait if it will continue to boot in System. Maybe the battery
seems not to be recognized or something.
Good news people it booted on its own. It is running Stock USC but it boots!!!

The same thing just happened to me. Strange. Thanks for giving me hope and to wait it out.

This is what my phone says when it turns on! encryption was interrupted and cant complete, as a result the data on your phone is no longer accessible.
to resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. when you set up your phone after the reset, youll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your google account.
it gives me a reset button but when I press it my phone just restarts and says the same thing???
I had just rooted it using razr blade and it worked great but I wanted to have clockworkmod to be able to do any recoverys if needed. I downloaded a bootstrap recovery that I found and it worked fine. I did this because rom manager didn't support my phone, I gave it superuser access and clicked boot in recovery to make sure that it worked. it did, and looked just like clockworkmod recovery even said clockworkmod recovery. anyways I clicked normal boot to restart my phone and now im here... any ideas on what I can do??? I don't have any backups yet I didn't get that far.
Have you considered using a different recovery? BMM and Safestrap (i use the latter) are current ,proven, and reversible. As for correcting the problem, I'd just wipe the slate clean. That's what RSDlite is for.

This is for rooting, recovery, and fixing soft brick. Do your homework before you use these utilities, and make sure you know how to fix your phone before breaking it!

Somebody posted a thread that looks like a similar problem (today, as a matter of fact). There is a link in one of the replies to a fix.

im pretty sure im screwed, its cause i cant turn on usb debugging to connect to anything ive been trying everything all day and no luck so idk..
You were using RSDlite in fastboot mode, and the computer didn't recognize the device? USB debugging isn't an option when you're outside of the OS, so it's just a matter of having the right USB cable and Moto drivers installed.

i downloaded my 4.1.2 firmware and put it in rsd and then it un zipped. my computer reads my phone when i plug it in. and in fastboot it says that its connected to usb but rsd doesnt read
So after a couple days of browsing every page on the internet to find a solution on why RSD lite woudnt read my phone and still not coming up with an answer, I decided to try it on my desktop which runs windows 7 vs windows 8 on my laptop and wouldnt you know it my phone popped right up and i was able to use RSD lite to flash my phone back to stock 4.1.2. thanks to luckiestnut419, phone is good to go. Thanks for all your help man.
