its not letting me to recovery. I keep holding the volume down and power button but nothing happen. When I turn on the phone Motorola logo and qual core technology come and after 1 min its say Failed to boot 4 starting RSD mode.

when you hold vol down and power the moto symbol should pop up first but if you keep holding it should say fast boot, then you use volume down to cycle to recovery. press volume up to enter recovery and when you see the triangle with the ! symbol press volume up and volume down at the same time to get to the screen with the options to wipe.

This should work. I had constant reboot cycle. To get into RSD I had to time holding the volume up button for when the reboot cycle started, before the green LED came on so that I could get to RSD. If you press the volume button at the wrong time it will reboot again.
could it be that you flashed a SBF to a ME860 and not a MB860?

Hey bor , you mean if I hold the volume up before the "Green LED " show up
I could get to the RSD mode ?? "Starting RSD protorcal....."
but I have been tried many many time ... no matter when I hold the volume up button ... It still reboot again and again ... ><
I think the problem is that Atrix "can not " get into RSD mode before it reboot ...
so that Atrix "can not" flash another SBF from computer ...
Does anyone have any idea for this problem ??

Pull the battery, put it in, hold volume down, power on and continue holding volume down until you see Fastboot on the screen. Then you can go into RSD and then you should be able to use RSDLite to flash.

Try holding volume down instead of up. If that doesn't work try it with the power button. Then you can get back to RSD protocol and flash the correct sbf to get you back working.

[Q] LOW Battery fastboot, SOL. Right?

I messed up flashing a ROM, so it gets stuck on the M logo screen. When I tried to fastboot it, it says low battery. Am I out of luck? Been looking around and couldn't find anything that was helpful to my situation.
try leaving it pluged in with the original charger and cable for a while to see if battery status changes.

I've considered the Factory Cable method for a while, and thought it was too much of a hassle.
Try going into the motorola recovery (power+both volume buttons) and then do a full wipe.
Then Reboot and (if you installed it) you should boot back into CWM recovery.
From there do a backup restore. Reboot. The phone will still boot into Flashboot, but if you turn it off it should charge normally.
I had the same issue as you and somehow these steps allowed me to get the phone charged again.
I then used RSDlite and Fla**** to bring me back to the last OTA
Turn off the phone. Press power button and volume + and volume - the same time, hold 3 sec it will show up a menu.
Use volume - to navigate down to "recovery" then press volume + to choose.
When the phone shows android robot with a triangle, press volume + and volume - the same time.
You will enter recovery menu.

Yup, I've seen and done all of this. All I see is
Reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache partition
Should I put the fastboot file sd card and select the second option? I have yet to try that

I cant turn my phone of

My Phone is stuck in a bootloop after installing the artic rom...its still looping and won't turn of.
I installed the thing where after you install a rom you boot into recovery but the rom skipped it even tho i installed the zip after i flashed the rom aswell..
I managed to get into AP Fastboot flash mode but i don't know how to flash my phone back to stock...can someone please help??
You can turn off the phone by pressing simultaneously
power and volume down (-) buttons about 5 secs.
Then yuo can think about what i can to do next ;-)

My phone is in boot loop right now and when I hit power and vol down, my phone with continually vibrate for about 5 seconds and then the screen goes out... but then it just boots up again
You can try push volume down button (and keep it pressed down)
at the same moment that screen goes out, maybe you can reach
AP Fastboot-mode in this way?
Well I can get to the menu for AP Fastboot
But im at work.. i dont have the file or RSDLight here at work.
But I can get to the recovery and it gives me the option for "factory reset" or "apply update from SDcard".
If I have a backup from bootstrap, can I use that file under the "apply update from SDcard" option?
EDIT: No you cant apply from SD (a recovery)
I think that yuo can't use backup from bootstrap via Motorolas recovery...
Maybe only way is install correct OFFICIAL Motorola ROM via AP fastboot.

Here is also good RSD alternative for flashing:

you close but it goes against what he just said. Once ur device powers.of press the volume keys then hold the power button ...it'll put u in recovery. You then need to scroll down twice I think to fast boot and press the up key to select....
You can only go down in this recovery. When you press up it selects. You will then need to follow a.vid on YouTube called how to restore Droid RAZR

Update to ics and recovery gone?

Any ideas regarding this?

Had to root my phone to install ezboot which gets me into recovery.
No such luck with the stock three button initialize. Can select recovery but it just hangs at motorola sign.
Me too....aaarrrgg :-( what to do????
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
While you're at the M logo, hold power and volume down key as if to do a hard reboot. This somehow simulates a "battery pull". As soon as the M vanishes (the reboot starts) IMMEDIATELY press and hold the volume down, volume up and power buttons at the same time and hold them at least until the M comes up, possibly longer. This should at least get you back into the recovery mode. You need to basically be holding the power plus both volume buttons BEFORE the M comes back which is why I say start pressing them immediately after the "STUCK" M-logo disappears.
Wipe cache
I had an issue when the update wouldn't install from sd card. I suggest all that do this update wipe cache and restart

enter recovery manually

ok I made a back up of the stock rom and did a complete wipe and flashed a rom and it wouldn`t even boot so I tired a few different button combinations to get back to recovery to do a restore, and i can get fastboot mode but tried to use the volume up and down to select recovery and I can`t , what sequence of buttons do you use to get you in to recovery ?:silly:

thanks, yeah I just figured it out, its weird that when the phone is completely shut off I do the volume up then press power button on, it takes me to fastboot, but if I keep holding volume up and release the power and push power button for the second time then it enters recovery every time, kind odd to me but it works
ok I was playing around again entering recovery manually and now I can`t everytime I hold volume up and power button and goes to fastboot, then I did the second press of the power goes right to fastboot again, is there something jack up with my phone?
hmm that kinda odd... what ROM are you trying to flash?
From bootloader screen use vol up twice then power, or vol dwn twice then power.
