Hello friends I have a Motorola Brick Hard SVF : 105:1:2. FAILED TO BOOT RECOVERY NVFLASH ENTERING 0x1000 and off the screen immediately goes out, and I can not enter nor in RSD mode Fastboot, eh been watching and say they can not fix, but I wanted to make sure it's so opening a new topic.
Greetings and thanks.
HelP Me please
Hard brick. Done deal!
Try a warranty return or buy a new phone.
You specifically said in your op that you had a hard brick. Think really carefully about this... what does hard brick mean?
And there's your answer. Looks like its time for you to shop for a new phone. Next time use search, and dont make a topic "just to be sure" when there's almost literally a million topics confirming what you're asking.

People on here shouldnt give up so easily, I have a solution for failed to boot brick.

Annnnnd, you will find out the reason we call it a HARD brick, it will NOT enter fastboot mode, or RSD or anything else other than Nvflash.
I'm going to come across rude, but if you have no idea, don't post rubbish.
And you should read my post; I got into fastboot mode by holding volume up and Power while inserting the battery. Using my method WILL restore your phone from the failure to boot error, as I did the same thing and Im now restored. I used moto fastboot to restore in fastboot mode.

Yes we read your post! IT DOES NOT WORK. That works with no brick or a SOFTBRICK not a hard one...
Understood.....that would mean that 0x1000 is obviously not a hard brick then. It seems to me that some of the confusion comes from a lack of properly identifying the brick status. I too got that message from accidentally attempting to flash and older file over a newer one. I used the method I described to restore my phone. Try for yourself; if it works then cool. If not then not. All Im trying to do is give insight on a common problem I encountered and how i fixed it. This site is supposed to be the best in the mobile world, I wish people would spend less time trying to be rude and insulting and more time trying to help. And thank you Alaq for helping clarify and acknowledging that my method could help some people.
Imean, at the end of the day, XDA is supposed to be a help and support site, right?

0x1000 shows up in both hard and soft bricks... It's what it says under it that separates the two, you obviously didn't read, and you confused yourself... I didn't want to be rude, sorry...
@OP the best you can do is sell it, it sells on ebay for around 100$ if it's good condition, but you have to state that it is hardbricked... Or you can donate it to a well known developer to help try to solve it...
Ignore this post, posted in error. Sorry.
Wow, lots of negativity here. I'm shocked anyone would want to help people here.
One wrong mistake and bam, insults flying everywhere.
Btw, next time, use the search feature, you would've found an answer faster.

Not negativity or insults. OP got their answer right away. I gave the OP the answer in post #3!
What we had once again was someone giving the wrong advice, and then when corrected, continued to give the wrong advice.
thank you all for your help, but unfortunately could not arrange a HardBrick, SoftBrick if the fix in the end sold the team and acquired another.

Don't know why are some peolpe saying that it doesn't work.... it works like a charm! I flashed a worng SBF file, had the boot error, followed this tutorial and had my phone back Thanks a Million Times
My experience with mcjinx216's fix procedure was entirely _positive_. I was able to unlock and to install the boot image. I was _not_ able to install the system image which returned a "file too large" indication; however when I executed "fastboot reboot" the Atrix rebooted to the setup screen!
I now have Android version 2.3.4 build 4.5.1 on the Atrix, so it is possible that the system image actually installed during the fastboot routine. I have forgotten the version which was installed before the crash.
The entire problem arose out of an attempt to install ICS on the Atrix during the course of which the Atrix failed to reboot and returned the error "failed to boot 1". I was unable to reflash the stock sbf file. RSD simply failed, even though it recognized that the Atrix was connected. I was stumped.
I cannot thank mcjinx216 enough. Great post and recommended for brickees.
I should point out that you must be careful with the syntax in fastboot. Be sure that fastboot executes and that you follow the displayed instructions carefully. I could not get mcjinx216's syntax to work so I just used e.g. "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without the "moto-" prefix.
I think we will have some good news about fixing the Atrix Hard Brick with the Riff Box. I read at other forum that the team had some major steps towards the jtag flash fix.

I flashed GreyBlur to my Atrix after rooting and had no problems and didn't lose anything. I followed the instructions off the briefmobile site after d/ling the 2.3.4 zip. Copied it to my SD card and pointed CWM to it. It appeared to install; but upon reboot I get caught in a loop. I get the moto emblem; then I see the Greyblur boot screen then it loops. I'm trying to recover the phone and I've dug thru the forums but I haven't found anything that lines up with what I'm experiencing. Any idea how I can recover my phone? I'd like to push fwd to GB but I'm kinda lost at this point. I guess it was dumb of me to make the assumption that this would go as smooth as the move to GreyBlur. Any help is appreciated; thx in advance!
Wipe and format phone then put your phone in fastboot and fastboot 2.3.4 . Then at least you have a working phone then you can upgrade to the new build by kenneth

OK I wiped and then hit the down volume button to put it into the recovery mode. I selected the fastboot option and it seems to hang. On the screen it sez:
Fastboot
Starting fastboot protocol support
and that's as far as it gets. Is there another way I should be approaching this? Damn this noobism!!
lol thats what it is suppost to do. the rest you have to use is off computer have you ever used fastboot? if not i will walk you though it.
1st go download the htkw build http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VLAKXBB3
Fastboot files for u http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138092 choose if u have
32 or 64 bit
2st make sure the moto-fastboot or fastboot (they both work i have tested )file is in your c:\
you have to cd the drive first so make sure its in c:\ .FYI make sure all the files are in one folder not the root drive
so name a folder (whatever) then cd that folder from cmd.
Dont use " " just showing you commands
one at a time and wait for them
Then go to cmd
"cd c:\moto-fastboot"
click enter
then type
moto-fastboot flash boot atrix-2.3.4-hktw-boot.img
then
moto-fastboot flash system atrix-2.3.4-hktw-system.img
then
moto-fastboot -w
click enter
Should say writing\sending
Once your done and it completes
type moto-fastboot reboot
enter
cool mang lemme roll thru this and see if I can get this going. thanks again for taking the time to help a noob out!
wait for me to upload this file u will need it to finish steps
also this is a zip file please remove the img files from the zip and place in fastboot folder
not having any luck; can you give me links for the moto-fastboot and HKTW files?
I'm running fastboot and the Gingerbread-Atrix-Beta-4-5.zip file. I've found the boot.img file in the zip but the system.img is being a bit elusive. thx again!
it is now in my first post a link like i said please extract the 2 files into fastboot folder.
I added link for fastboot if u are on windows just use the moto-fastbootwin32 one
Once you get 2.3.4 installed with fastboot let me know and then we will
go on how to install the new build and which clockworkmod did u use?
OK finally got the hktw file downloaded; moto-fastboot wasn't cooperating so I went with the fastboot command; upon attempting to run the commands provided here's the output I get in my CMD prompt:
C:\gb\atrix>fastboot flash boot atrix-2.3.4-hktw-boot.img
sending 'boot' (3358 KB)...

Flashing MBR to device

any ideas?
You will have to use mot-fastboot no way around it the files is to big for fastboot try motor again

Aight; I'm gonna do some digging; cuz when I tried to run moto-fastboot is said that it couldn't find the file. Anything special I need to do with the moto-fastboot to get the computer to recognize it's there? I really think I'm close; but this is getting frustrating. Looks like my battery died as well. Fortunately my wife has the same phone so I've got a way to charge it back up *whew*. Didn't realize how much of a hole in my life not having a phone would leave; now I know how heroin addicts feel when trying to kick the habit!! LOLz!
OK; I figured it out; knew it HAD to be something simple. Turns out I was not using the Windows verison of moto-fastboot. I'm gonna give it another shot when I get home and letchya know the results. *crosses fingers* *shakes fist* Victory will be MINE!!!

Looks like I'm going to learn more than I ever wanted to about flashing and fastboot.
OK; so I'm in the middle of moto-fastbooting the boot and system file when my battery dies; I KNOW I had 60% battery when I hooked it up; but apparently that's of no consequence now. Recharged the battery to full on my wife's Atrix (thank god she has one!!) and when I load the phone I'm getting:
"Failed to boot 4" then the next line reads "Starting RSD mode"
Jesus; this just keeps getting better; I'm guessing I'm at the soft brick point; teetering on the edge of hard bricking the damn thing. *sigh*
So did some digging thru the forums and I guess the only route I have now is to pull SIM and SD card out; boot up RSD Lite and flash the 1.5.7 SBF to the damn thing to get back to square one.
Here's the guide I'm following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065740
So I'm currently pulling down OLYFR_U4_1.5.7_SIGNED_OLPSATTSPE_P012_HWolympus_1g_1FF.sbf.gz
from briefmobile.com's site and hope that this will be enuff to get the phone back to stock working order. Unfortunately I live out in the country (I keeps it RURAL!!) so I'm working over a 4g AT&T mifi connection. I get about 3-6 Mb/s so this is going to take a while. I'll report back on any progress that I've been able to make out of this hole that I've dug myself into.
One thing I will say this HAS been a learning experience. More updates to follow...lemme know if you have any suggestions on any of the above and if ya think I'm on the right track. thx again.
Nope your on the right track all you can do is flash a rsd . Any time you do flashing battery has to be 100 flash takes alot of battery. Other than that let me know what goes on keep updated.

Hi,
I am trying to Stock restore by following the steps mentioned at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421522.
Following steps fails.
1. moto-fastboot erase boot
2. moto-fastboot erase system
3. moto-fastboot erase webtop
Please guide me how can I do that?
did you boot your phone into "fastboot" mode?
also try "moto-fastboot devices" see if it returns anything.
Yes. It is in fastboot mode. I can see my phone id when i do moto-fastboot.exe devices.
When you say those steps fail does it say anything else also what carrier are you with
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Well m on at&t carrier. script doesnot log any other error, it jumps to next step.
ok have you tried using rsdlite to reflash a stock image for your device somewhat easier than using moto-fastboot I just used that for mine as doing it via moo-fastboot for me just doesn't seem to work I will check that thread again and see if it is comparable with my phone and give it ago after all I can't make calls on mine yet im using it fine right now online lol report back tomorrow with my findings
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
maybe you just manually type these commands by yourself, instead of running the script, then probably you'll be able to see what's the error message and what's failed.
You can follow the steps here to do stock restore: http://devsrom4android.blogspot.com/2011/07/download-at-motorola-atrix-4g-android.html
or, if your recovery is still working, you can just flash a "Fruit Cake" to restore your phone to stock; see development section.
Device specs: motorola atrix running 2.3.4 rooted
Carrier:At&t
I flashed clock work recovery and it says it successful. But I can't boot into recovery to make a backup of the stock rom. Every time I try i get the android with a triangle above his head.
I've tried taking the battery out and plugging the phone into the charger as suggested here but it didn't work.I would really appreciate the help I've tried everything i could think to make it work.This is the second atrix I've had do this.Thanks in advance
go back to fastboot, and erase your recovery img and re-flash
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash revovery <recoveryname.img>
fastboot reboot
It didn't work when I try to erase the recovery this is the message I get erasing 'reccovery'... FAILED (remote: (00030003)).
I feel like an idiot but i think i figured it out. I don't think I ever unlocked my bootloader on my phone.Could this be the source of my problems.If so is there a new way to unlock the bootloader since oem unlock method no longer works.
Yes that could be your problem there and be grateful that you didn't get a hardbrick. There is always a solution but, Google should give you some nice links or search the xda thread.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Just in case someone reads this thread because they are having a similar issue, but they are unlocked make sure to delete the recovery install file. I can't remember where it is, but you need root access. It's named something like install-recovery.sh (I think) lol
edit: theres an all in one that makes unlocking simple. look for the noob sticky in the general section
DELETE a file named Install-recovery.sh
In system/etc then you can boot into recovery! :banghead:

YES!!! I got it to work by unlocking the bootloader with the script in the noob sticky.
Thanks to everyone who helped me out.
I have a motola photon that I believe is bricked due to and attempt to flash the electrified 2. 3. 5 without doing my research. The bootloader is unlocked but every attempt at a fastboot command freezes at waiting for device. I've flashed every sbf under the sun threw rsd with failure at the phone "re-enumerate" stage. I'm so stuck and very confused.. ive been using this stuff since my Android Leo, g 2 and many more.

If you flash a 2.3.4 Locked sbf via RSD after the flash failure what does the wcreen on your phone say?
I think I am in a similar situation but found a way to unbrick.
Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. Phone [0000] "The Secure_Motorola_Flash" Interface could not be found. The super-file is secure and for re-flash; the phone needs a super-file that is not secure and not for re-flash. (0x7066)
The rsd fails at 98% when the phone attempts to switch to a BP passthrough.
Im baffled
have you tried booting even tho rsdlite fails? it "fails" for me everytime nd still boots xD
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
it's supposed to fail, the phone still boots perfectly and if not try a battery pull or flashing a locked sbf
Guys of course I tried to boot the phone afterwards. It just sits at the Motorola logo, says unlocked in the upper left corner with 0 animation to the logo. I cant get into recovery either.. its back to the stock exclanation point one.
Anyone have an idea of what could be wrong? How am I supposed to do anything to the phone if Rsd continues to fail and I don't have access threw fastboot? Also the phone model in rsd is listed as NS Flash Sunfire, it lists my bootloader as ver v0x000007 but everything else is listed as N/A

What happens when you try to force the phone into fastboot mode by pulling the battery, putting it back in and holding the VOL down and POWER buttons?
Well it let's me get into fast boot with no problem after some fooling around today. however when I try to erase my data threw fast boot it says I don't have a product name. The device is listed in fastboot though as TA00.. (don't remember # off hand). I know the values for this is changeable but is it necessary or is that minor in this large issue.
From what you are telling me this should work...
Make sure that your phone says UNLOCKED at the top left corner..
Follow this: Go specifically to the ROOT instructions: and flash the system image

That sounds perfect but the link for the system file is down. Anti piracy bull**** government hoopla. GARRRR ! Anyone by any chance have a copy of the file or a mirror to where i cant find it?

Yea I tried. The file has been deleted or moved from every file site there. =\ I'm going to continue to troll the net after I escape from work tonight. Hopefully with some luck I can find one that someone else has uploaded.

Well!!! did you wipe before you had flashed the 2.3.5 SBF ????
If running in Win 7 make sure that you opened up the command prompt as administrator. Also make sure that you put the system.img in the fastboot folder/directory. So you should be doing:
1. fastboot erase system
2. fastboot flash system.img
3. fastboot reboot
Still wouldnt let me because the system image was too big.
But i managed to flash clockwork threw fastboot and was able to boot that up. I did a factory reset in clockwork rebooted and it was still frozen. But i was able to flash redROCKO 1.1.1 and then it booted and is now working flawlessly.
Alright i know that i should do research in the forums before i post, but i guess im not turning up the right posts.
I would like to know how i can access my fastboot so i can fastboot erase and start from scratch with CM9.
i am rooted.
i know to hold power and volume down button until fastboot comes up, then volume up button.
what do i go and do then...
Well first you need to make sure you have fastboot setup on your computer. You can learn how to do that here. Once you have that setup just plugin your phone through usb to your computer and boot into fastboot. Then just open a command prompt and type fastboot whatevercommandyouwanttouse
Start with the following N00B guide. Read it 3 times before you do anything!
Everything you need to get you going is in that thread.

Also, just want to let you know you can use moto-fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138092
