Alright, here's the deal. I had some problems with my Atrix so I ended up having to re-flash RomRacer's Recovery. Then I tried re-flashing Neutrino ROM, when it finally booted into it a windows entitled "Android System" popped up and then a message boxed popped up saying "Shutting Down". It does this for EVERY single rom I flash. I tried Neutrino 2.7 and 2.6, CM7 Ba2Tf, Jokersax's CM9, and Alien ROM. All do exactly the same thing. Can anyone help me?
EDIT: I just tried flashing MIUI and CM9 via Kitchen Sink ROM and both did the same thing. Boots to lock screen then vibrates and shuts down.
EDIT 2: If it helps, this isn't my first time flashing a ROM, I've flash all of these multiple times, so I don't really know what the issue is.
EDIT 3: I just did 3 different restores including one to the original ROM, it did the exact same thing. I also tried 2 different batteries, both of which are fully charged.

Try a full wipe from fastboot, then try to flash a fruitcake.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
etc.
There are a couple of scripts in forums which work nicely if you're feeling lazy. Best thing to try with any problem like this is just start over from the beginning properly.

I already tried multiple fastboot wipes, but I'm downloading this "Fruitcake" and I'll FB wipe then flash that and see if it works.
Alright. Did a full fastboot wipe. Flashed the 2.3.4 Fruitcake. Won't even boot into the lockscreen, just boot loops the boot animation.
May have to flash stock kernel also. Can do from fastboot.

I don't mean to sound like a noob, but I searched and I can't seem to find the stock kernel. I found a couple links, but they were all the same multiupload link and did not work. Do you have a link?
Sorry, I don't have that kernel or a link to it.
I can't see what the problem would be if you are wiping fully via fastboot and flashing a ROM, whichever one you choose. If you flash CM7.2 for example on a clean phone, there shouldn't be a problem unless something else is going on, like hardware issues.
What problems did you originally have that resulted in you re-flashing recovery? Maybe that's where we should start in figuring this out.
I was running Alien ROM perfectly fine. For whatever reason I decided I wanted to flash Neutrino ROM V2.7 and I didn't realize how low my battery was when I flashed it. I think the battery may have died either during or just after flash. So i bought a new battery and a wall charger so I could charge the battery outside of the phone. When I put the new battery in, it would not boot into recovery, so I re-flashed recovery and that's where I'm at now.
Stock 2.3.6 OS, webtop, and kernel are here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24472332&postcount=1
This version is rooted also.
Thank you very much for your help. I will flash everything back to complete stock, and hopefully that solves this. Thank you again!
Sounds like your system believes battery is low, you can try wiping data and installing CM, then power off your phone, plug it to wall charger and leave it charging for some time. If it still doesn't work, you can try pulling the battery while charging (will show a "?" battery icon) and then put it back in.
I just did a full fastboot wipe, then flash all 3 of the stock things, OS, kernel, and Webtop. It won't boot past red flashing Motorola Logo. I think I'll try what the above user says.
I'm having some issues getting the phone to "charge" If I put the battery in and then plug it into a wall charger, it turns on and starts the boot loop. If I plug it in with no battery, the battery with a "?" shows up, but then when I put in a battery nothing happens.

BUMP 2. Any last ditch effort?

Ok...I'm at a point where I had no other choice but to get another replacement. I looked just about everywhere my patience would take me, and decided to give up. I hope someone could/would have a solution for me or others like me.
I had EH03 deoxed rom and decided I wanted ICS build5. So I installed CM7, I whiped cache, DLVK, and system data. Then flashed ICSb5 and GAPPS, Rebooted and stuck on ICS splash screen.
At this point USB ports wouldn't recognize fascinate. Downloaded all Fascinate drivers from Samsung, drivers for Nexus S, ADB, Android SK. You name it I got it. Nothing worked for USB detection. I even followed YT videos on turning Vista/PC off and unplug. Nothing.
After messing with data cords,(numerous ones,trying another PC), PC ports, I happened to pull plug and battery out of Fascinate at the same time, not sure what version of CWM, it was blue, came on. Luckily I had two Nandroid backups on SD.
I flashed Nandroid back to CM7 successfully. Rebooted fine and hooked to USB but still not recognized. At this point I was able to get into recovery using ROM. So, I did something stupid...lol...I tried to flash earliest Nandroid which was performed when on EH03 deoxed. Once I did this, I wiped all needed data and rebooted. Now Fascinate shows Samsung logo. It doesnt reboot, just that the logo stays until I pull battery. Now if I have battery in wth phone off and plug in, the charging battery comes on but doesn't show battery level. Doesn't go away till I pull battery.
The funny thing is that I can get into Download mode but USB is still unrecognized/malfunction on PC/Vista. I only wish that I was able to link phone and PC just to use Odin with PIT file and stock EDO5 or EH03.
Any advice?

In the op of ics and also droidstyles guide you have to flash build 1 before you can flash build 5
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I've never flashed version 1 before flashing.build 5. In fact I've had the least amount of problems going back to stock (ED05) then flashing ICS.
I bootlooped when i went from stock EH03 to Build 5 so i did 3 first then 5.
But this doesn't help our poster here.
OP:
you get into DL mode but odin wont see your phone?
What i suggest is to try: Move the usb cable to a different port. see if your pc can see it then. Second thing try a totally different computer. Chances are your PC is trying to use borked up drivers.
Once you get odin going flash a stock image [i recommend eh03] then cwm then build 3 and now the new build 6. good luck!
if you need any links or a more detailed guide I STRONGLY suggest Droidstyles guild, it is by far the best and most up to date for the fassy!

Consider yourself lucky....going from stock to build 6 causes me problems and many others. Going from stock, to build 1, then build 6 works flawless.

TLDR = Flashed new rom, can't boot into recovery or anything, not sure where to go from here.
I'll start off by saying that I am fairly new to this, but have flashed several roms over this past year, but I have limited knowledge when it comes to problems.
The other day I decided I was going to flash from a CM9 rom back to a gingerbread based one so a couple apps I use wouldn't crash so much. Minor thing in the grand scheme of things, but didn't think much of it. So I booted into recovery, cleared my cache, wipe/factory reset, then flashed Neutrino's rom.
I am currently running, what I believe is the standard version of CWM. The rom I tried to flash states to use Rom Racers recovery, but did read in the thread that some had flashed it with the one I am using.
Flash went fine (to my knowledge), then when I went to reboot, it just boot loops at the "Dual Core" screen. So I was thinking something got messed up, I'll just boot back into recovery, try one more time, and if it doesn't work, then consider other options from there. All I have done is flash a rom, and I was thinking that it shouldn't effect my recovery in any way. Am I wrong in thinking that?
I have been unable to boot into Recovery, Fastboot, nvflash, or any other option that I am presented with. Holding the Volume up and Power results in "Starting RSD Protocol Support" and it just sits there.
Booting with the Volume Down and Power, I am able to cycle through Fastboot, and a couple other options. Once I select any of them, the screen displays "Starting such and such protocol support" and sits there the same as well.
What shall I attempt to see if I can get it back into a recovery so I can flash just the most stock based ROM for the chance to potentially sale the device?
Do you mean you flashed with the recovery that came on the phone when you say standard recovery?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
It's running Clockwork recovery version 5 something. Rom Manager said it was the latest version of it. It's one I flashed a long time ago and haven't touched the recovery portion in quite some time.
Sounds like you're just semi-bricked, search Semi brick fixes.
Thanks for the direction. I was finally able to get it running with a CM9 mod, still no luck on Neutrino's, it just bootloops and the Unlocked Dual Core screen. Not a big deal really, but it's up and running.
Ok so I rooted and RoM'd my phone a long time ago with Cherryblur which apparently is no longer supported or updated. It has been so long that I forgot what I did and did not do to get cherry on it. Yesterday I spent most of the day researching how not to brick my phone. Today after doing everything I could find, I am stuck at the motorola screen. It is unlocked on the moto screen, has fastboot and adb installed, I can get into recovery and what seems to successfully recover the cherryblur install just results in a bootloop at the custom animation that is past the motorola screen.
I was trying to flash CM7 (tried neutrino as well) non nightly when this happened. After spending all day on here bouncing around while I was at work I found a fruitcake that seems to be the only thing that will allow my phone to boot which of course I cannot send the link to. Its titled [Fruit Cakes] XDA Re-Release [feb\18\2012] if you need to see it. What am I missing, I have clearly searched and searched these great forums (I do love to research, but find I'm at an impasse now) and am not sure what I need to do to proceed. That fruitcake updated my phone to 4.5.91 and I'm pretty sure I was 4.5.2 from the Cherryblur previously.
Thanks for any help!
Update: After getting fruitcake to work, I figured maybe this fixed my previous issues and tried to install CM7 again. Same story, not moving past the first Moto screen. So I tried recovery of the fruitcake and now the M screen comes up, waits a bit, then looks like it's going to load and starts to flash for about a second on, then off for 2-3, then on and so forth. I reflashed fruitcake after this and it is still working as a new install.
You are probably only softbricked. Do you know what "recovery" software you are using? If you are using romracers or one of the better respected recovery software packages, you should be able to use fastboot (if you have a windows machine) to wipe the relevant partitions on your phone and start again. Essentially, you will want to reinstall cherryblur (or install a new ROM - Neutrino, Nottachtrix, CM9s are all excellent) from your sd card. To do this, you will boot to fastboot and run "fastboot -w" from your pc. Then boot to recovery, and wipe cache, and dalvic for good measure, then install cherryblur or another package from the zip file. This will hopefully square you away and get rid of the boot loops.
My guess is that you did not wipe your partitions completely before attempting a new install, and may be having problems with ext3 vs. ext4 formatting between rom versions. Good luck to you.
Thank you for the reply!
Originally I'm pretty sure it was CWM, through the process of backing stuff up I installed Rom Toolbox from market and that seemed to have changed something? (Not sure here...) The text changed color from what I thought was white to blue and it looked a tiny bit different. The only thing I did not do was the fastboot -w, but I did download the link from [Batch] FFW - Fastboot Full Wipe and ran the fastboot from there, which was supposed to do a full wipe from what I read. Fastboot was previously installed on the phone.
I downloaded the 1.1 version which apparently may not be able to wipe the webtop, though when watching the text during the wipe it seemed to go through. Would you recommend me going to romracers, is it possible that my recovery software is borked somehow or just not compatible with the newer roms? If I got to RomRacer will the process of doing that just get rid of the current recovery software I have on the phone or will I run into issues? As far as the dalvik and cache I did run those, though the instructions for the CM7 said to do that after the install which felt backwards....
Oh yes, and I can't reinstall cherryblur, that rom is gone - you can't even download it anymore. I am doing this because I recently purchased a lapdock and the cherryblur was not doing so hot on it so looking to install a good clean rom (with a nice GUI) that works well on the lapdock as well. Yes, I will put an OC'd kernel on it as well, battery life has never been more than a day on my current rom and I am reading that the newer ones have over 1 day life on them so you could say I'd be used to the battery drain on the 1.3 kernels.
I see...that's frustrating. I think given your situation, I would probably not attempt to go from Blur to CM (at least while attempting to get the phone running again). If I were in your shoes, I would do the following...other more knowledgeable folks may steer you in varying directions, but I have been in your shoes before, and this should work. I am assuming you have use of a PC...if not, this won't be helpful.
1. Install ROMRacers recovery using these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
2. Download Nottachtrix 1.3.1 to your SD card using your PC if necessary, and you will probably want to download the webtop 2.3.6 at the same time. These can be found here: http://www.nottachtrix.com/forum/
3. Boot into fastboot (hold volume down on power up, until fastboot appears, then hit volume up, and use a DOS prompt to do the fastboot commands through the USB on your PC), and do a fastboot -w, then fastboot -reboot.
4. This time boot into recovery by holding volume down on powerup, and hitting volume down seven times (I think) until you see the word recovery, then hit volume up.
5. Use recovery to wipe cache partition, then go to advanced and wipe dalvic cache, and then select factory reset/wipe data. Some of these steps may be duplicative, but I am a belt and suspenders kind of guy.
6. Now go to "install from sd card" and select the Nottachtrix build that you put on your external SD, and make selections using the cool Aroma installer. Once this installs, you can install the newer 2.3.6 webtop (if you need it).
7. Reboot when complete, and you should have the latest stock build in working order, and then you can repeat the process to install Neutrino, CM9 or whatever. Feel free to fire back any questions.
Good luck to you, and if this helps, please hit the "thanks" button!
Ill give this a shot when I get home, darn work blocking the download links for mediafire..... The fruitcake is driving me nuts, no notification bar (my biggest complaint) unless I use ADW launcher, which has for some reason no way for me to get into my texts..... Broken apps, and a real stock feel that is just making me grit my teeth lol.
Can't wait to have a nice ROM on my phone again. Glad the fruitcake got me back up and functional though!
So far so good! Had the notification bar problem like others with the 2.3.6 issue and found that fix (disable email notifications....). When / if I can 'thank' I will! And will keep you updated when I get the time to flash another rom.
Good news that you are back rolling again. Let the ROM flashing addiction continue
So, CM7 is pure sexy - and an OC'd kernel to 1.3 makes me so happy in both CM7 and Nottachrix. Wish I would have done it sooner, I wouldn't have been spending so much time searching for a new phone because my atrix was annoyingly laggy. Lag? What is that? Also, undervolting is AMAZING for battery life, for the first time since owning the phone I did not plug it in last night and even though my usage was in the light to medium area, im still at 66% after 22 hours off charger ! Can't wait to play with CM9.
Okay, I tried to flash the CM10 Rom on my girlfriend's Electrify that's flashed to cricKet (been flashed for a few months) last night. And it would not flash the ROM. I am rooted, I have the bootloader unlocked. CWM installed also. VERSION: will edit when i can boot
She was running CM7 which was very buggy, random reboot issues. So I decided I was going to flash the CM10 Unofficial mod, I tried to install like four or five times. Ran the "Aroma Prep.zip", then tselected install zip from SD. It kept showing the CM7 loading screen and kept bootlooping forever. So I kept pulling the battery trying to reinstall thinking I did something wrong.
NOW HER BATTERY IS DEAD!
I can't turn on the phone, tomorrow morning I am going to try to SBF the stock rom, but don't I need to be able to boot the phone in order to do so? What can I do, my girlfriend isn't very happy.
Okay, as I was typing this, it randomly booted...I can randomly get it to boot. I think the SBF would work I am scared to move to my Windows PC and try to use RSD Lite because it will take another 20-40 min to boot the f#*^@^* phone.
PLEASE HELP!
Tried RSD Lite, got the phone to enter RSD Recovery Mode....Buuuuuut
Code:
Starting RSD Protocol Support
Battery is Too Low to Flash
Does it charge in Clockwork Mod? Guess I will find out.:silly:
I thought that I broke my phone too my first time flashing CM9, Leave it on the charger overnight, and give it another shot in the morning. When I was flashing the first time I didn't have a charger, and it died on my half way through the third attempt at installing, leaving it just as un responsive as yours
My issue was just a user error, double check your files of your rom, re download them if necessary, and go over the instructions with a fine tooth comb.
It's pretty hard to brick these things, and seeing how you were still able to get to recovery is a good sign that it can be fixed.
Worst case, you'll have to start from scratch trying to flash it back to cricket once you get the rom situated.
Good to hear!
Well good news as of now, I put it on the charger and am not flashing the stock SBF.
I will let you know how that goes. I don't know why I was having trouble with the flash though. I had NO TROUBLE WHAT-SO-EVER when I flashed CM7 about two or three months ago. Really confusing why it wouldn't stick and kept bootlooping at the CM7 screen when it said installation complete.
So I am out of panic mode, and I think/hope my girlfriend will be after the SBF is done flashing!:good:
Got error at 99% in RSD Lite
Failed to boot 1
did battery pull and try to SBF again

How are you charging? Try an AC adapter and maybe a different cable
If you have failed to boot 1, your only option is to unlock it. Flash unlock.sbf.

I just purchased a new battery and wall battery charger. now I thought initially it was an issue with my battery being dead, but have two fully charged and still having issues. Issue I am having it when I try to boot it it will get to the s2 splash screen then it just repeats it. And yes I even tried odin to no avail. Same issue still persists. any idea to a solution? It appears I can only access download mode, no recovery, or normal booting.
EDIT: Fixed that issue...now trying to remember how to flash the CWR on it haha
You don't install CWR on our phone, it's included in the custom kernels.
You need figure out which firmware version you're running, such as Gingerbread, Jellybean etc. Then flash a compatible kennel and you'll have the recovery you want.
