Hey everyone
A friend of mine played around with my Atrix 4g (unlocked from AT&T) and I think he may have accepted the OTA update, because now my phone will boot up fine - just as normal - but then when it has been on for 20-40 seconds at the homescreens, it just says "powering off" and it powers off as if I had shut it down normally. When it's shut down it automaticly tries to start again, and the whole thing starts over!
I'm not very good at stuff like this so if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it, so I can get off my horrible old Nokia back-up phone
First of all was your ATRIX rooted and had a custom rom installed?

Yes the Atrix was rooted but I never a custom rom installed.
Your best bet is to either flash sbf to 2.3.4 stock using RSD LITE, or factory reset it before it turns off on u again.

Well since it always manages to shut me down before I can reach the reset-"switch" I guess that leaves me one option
Sbf it is. But before I post link to all downloads an post steps I need to know what version u have currently on your ATRIX right now.

Www.das8nt.com/downloads.html if u have at&t it will be second green box. Click on 4.5.91(2.3.4) service SBF(stock)
Then go to first green box and click on RSD Lite 5.6. (MUST HAVE DRIVERS INSTALLED)

That seems to have done the trick! The phone now boots up normally, and all the At&t crap is back
How should I update my phone to the newest version? It's now running android 2.3.6 with the system version being 4.5.141
Thanks for all your help!
Your ATRIX is now 2.3.6 u see it worked. Now what ever u do do not downgrade back to 2.3.4 or even re-flash the 2.3.6 it will just brick your ATRIX. Now if u want to root it u would have to look if there's even a root method for 2.3.6.

Hi, i have the screen always on motorola logo... this is a hard brick? I can put right my phone?

No your just stuck in a boot loop. If you have cwm you can try a factory reset, or flash an sbf if your on an att atrix. Not sure if there is an sbf for other versions.

Do not do it if you flashed the 2.3.4 update or you will have a hard brick. I would recommend starting from 1.2.6 so you can root.

i have this problem after the installation of
[ROM] AT&T 4.5.91 ★ Gingerbread 2.3.4 ★ Beta #4
If you flashed kenns rom you should be ok flashing an sbf I think it would only brick if you used the other method. If you can get into recovery I would recommend just flashing kenns rom again though should fix it

i bought my atrix off of ebay, rooted and unlocked the bootloader, then messed up with gingerblur. maybe it was because i had the lastest updates installed on the atrix?

You were supposed to flash through the system recovery app's recovery, but anyways back to your question. If you follow directions on how to do things im sure you'll be fine off, as of now the only way to hardbrick is to sbf back when you have the ota installed,
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Are you sure that your old atrix is hardbricked? Sounds like it would be more of a softbrick unless your old atrix had Gingerbread. Eitherway, it sounds fixable.

i'm unable to root it for some reason. tried cmd method as well as superoneclick... don't know what else to do
Can I simply take my Atrix, flash the 2.3.4 sbf, and update to 2.3.6 when the OTA update window comes up? The Atrix is rooted unlocked and cwm.
I just want to be unrooted and on the official OTA track, don't care about preserving cwm, root, or unlocked bootloader.
I'm currently on
45.2.49mb860.personal.en.ar
2.3.6

So 2.3.4 sbf, then 2.3.6 sbf? What's 2.4.5?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
sorry my mistake......sent that from phone, i din notice, its 2.3.4 not 2.3.5!! was unlocked and tried almost all rom! last day i switched back to stock 2.3.4 rom (not sbf, but the moto-fastboot flash images). download it and flash everything one by one, system, data, webtop, preinstall, boot, radio... then download the official 2.3.6 update from motorola s/w update page, then flash it via CWM. after reboot your bootloader will be updated and re-locked. and the system files will be updated to 2.3.6. back to pure stock, and latest version!

why dont u try the simple moto-fastboot flash method. its safe than the rsd!! ended up bricking my device once when i played with rsd. but never after....
Thank you njarun, one last thing..where do I find these files?
download it from androidpolice.com, kennthpenn has a good guide in reverting back to 4.5.91 stock 2.3.4 gb. then download update from moto website. use moto-fastboot, not fastboot since fastboot cant handle large img files....

Looking for directions for flashing this over stock rooted .181.
I tried one I found on another site and our did not work.
I've searched, maybe not in the right places, but can't find anything detailed.
Thanks in advanced!

If you had safe strap or boot strap installed before your gonna have to fast boot and try again it works I just did this two days ago. I started over fast booted 181 again then followed directions exactly and it worked. Its not a bad idea to fast boot anyway first that way you know your setup to revert back for upcoming ota.
I had a similar issue, trying to update from GB .181 to ICS 79 leaked rom.
Had to reflash .181 all over again because I had previously uninstalled some VZW crap software from phone (and when trying to flash ICS i got the exclamation point after a while)
Afterwards, root, rom manager, es file explore - permisions, and all went ok
Tried it again. This time was a success! Thanks for all the help!

Does this ROM brings the GSM support in Network Settings????
I think the only one that has it is .206 but once flashed your stuck from returning back to GB.

Not on stock from the DND (diddle-n-drool); you have to install a leak-based ROM like Axiom or Black Widow, which include GUI tools for changing the setting.
Mine is set to "LTE/CDMA/GSM auto prl".
So...Yes, it does.
Global phone, FTW.
Haven't tested it, but it's set to that.
I bricked my photon when I was trying to install a custom rom..
I get the error failed to boot 2.
When I try to follow the steps mentioned here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540349
In the first step itself when I want my phone to be back to stock I not able to do it...When im trying to transfer the sbf file I get "Failed flashing process. Unable to retrieve interface handle. (0x7027)"
Please guide me what to do.

1st if you haven't tried it yet go to recovery and do a wipe and reset.
If that don't work...
Find the Electrify 2.3.5 USC_19 sbf file you can install to get back up and running. But its not sprint. You have to install a couple of other files to get the sprint radio and wi-fi to work. It's all here, google is your friend.
Good Luck.
The 1st reply you got has the info to get you back to sprint.

The error is actually ok just pull battery out and put it back in and turn on the phone, us cellular boot screen should come up and also it may take a little time to boot up completely to home screen.

Yes , It worked ! It has reached the home screen..Now what is the next step????
From the other thread.

After flashing this, you need to flash locked custom rom, "2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image" and some sv2 sbf radio, for working Sprint services, including 4G.
