So i purchased an atrix 4g off of eBay, and it has a few Root applications on it, but isn't actually rooted.
The android recovery mode is also broken, i get an android robot with the Attention symbol. Would post a link to one i found on the internet but i cannot since i am under 8 posts.
The phone was on 2.3.6 build # 4.5.141 when i received it. and i have done nothing to it so far.
So maybe someone applied OTA updates and killed the root or something, idk.
in the end the end i would like to root it with some ISC.
So is there anyway i can Reset everything to stock out of the box. Or to fix the problems with recovery?
Also for now it wont really be used as a phone, as i don't have a sim yet.
To cover the basics here let's make sure the phone isn't bootloader unlocked or rooted. To check bootloader, when you boot the phone, does the moto screen say "Unlocked" in top left hand corner of the screen? If not, it isn't. Then for root, check it with the app root checker basic or pro from market. Get back to the thread once you can answer those questions and then I will post something to help you with the getting ics.

Both of those come up as a no So no unlocked boot loader and no root
Try this but you know the risks of messing with the phone right??? Read EVERYTHING before you do. Your phone says a different version of firmware than the thread but if you look back in the posts of the thread in the end, it will work. You can also read the Atrix thread stickies.
Edit.... having trouble posting link ... give me sec.
Edit 2....can't post from phone. Let me post it from my computer when I get to the computer in the morning.

Have you flashed a different ROM for the time being to at least have a working phone? Like a blur or cm7 ROM?
Sent from my Atrix with XDA Premium
Thats is what i was going to try next, i havent got to it today.
Are you flashing plugged in? Try flashing the rom without having your phone plugged in.
Also, if you're at the M logo screen, I suggest waiting it out for quite a while. Be patient. I used to think when I flashed roms that I was stuck at M logo, but I just wasn't waiting long enough, especially coming from a full wipe.
Otherwise, try doing a battery pull and then putting it back in and booting it up.
You can also try using Nottachtrix with the installer? I've heard that fixes a lot of people's problems that are getting stuck at logo screen.
well right now it seems that the battery is dead and wont charge....
So im not sure what im gonna do about that
Ok so im installing NottachTrix now will report how it went when done.
Also about leaving it on to boot, i did that for 24 hours, nothing happened
Edit:
It seems to be working so far. The phone is stuck at a charging screen with a battery icon, much more than it was before.

So I'm a noob to this whole rom thing and i think that i am in over my head...
first i rooted using GingerBreak-v1.20.apk and not knowing what i was doing deleted some of the bloat (games). When I tried to do the bell gingerbread ota update i got the error. I tried to re install them but it didn't work.
So i decided to try to rom my phone.
First i unlocked using the Bell_Ihop from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261 which worked...
I then flashed a rom from ROM manager. It was ninja v0.3.4 (i think). It worked but i got a grey ? battery error... I didnt realize and my battery ran down. And while i cant be 100% sure yet i dont think my battery works any more (is that possible)
so i posted a Q on the forums and got an answer here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1251529
I borrowed a battery which let me turn on my phone but was still unknown...
I followed his answer and did a wipe. I decided i wanted alien so i flashed tanfer cmw recovery and flashed alien using that.
and I got stuck on the boot screen
so i did a wipe again and tried to reboot to bell stock2.2.2 and got an error so i did a reboot and i guess that the stock managed to reinstall the regular recovery..
and im still stuck on the reboot page...
so my question is I cant do anything cuz my battery doesnt work so i cant reflash cmw and I dont know anyone with an atrix to get a battery from (im pretty sure i outstayed my welcome in my local bell store, thats where i did all this)
Is there anyone in toronto that would fix this for me, i need this phone and i would pay for someone to do it for me cuz i cant do anything myself!! (And I'm a noob)
Thanks in advace...
first off, use this to charge your battery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDtv7qKf8tQ
after you get a charge on your battery again, go into CWM and clear Data/Cache, and then go into Advanced Options and clear your Dalvik Cache.
after that, flash any ROM and try to boot up. if you get stuck into a bootloop, post back here and let us know.
you'll need to flash CWM again using Fastboot, i suggest Romracer's which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
Thanks I will try this but I have a few questions
1. I did all this (the wipes and the flash) with tenfars, will this make a diff?
2. What tegrapart am I? (remember I cant boot into my phone to check through terminal emulator)
3. Now that I have been traumatized i just wanted to ask, on the alien site he says that it will take an unbearably long time to boot, how long should I expect to wait?
thanks for putting up with my "noobyness"
I don't know how to find your tegra part but it might take up to a few minutes the first time you boot. You'll know if you get a boot loop or not, the whole animation will do a major skip and start back from the start
And I know some people have problems with tenfar's. romracer's is just superior in my opinion.

You shouldn't, as long as all you're doing is flashing ROMs with cwm. All else fails you can just flash a different one.

I tried the battery trick and it caused the usb jacks on my computer to stop working... I also tried to charge with a different phone and it didnt work. I called Motorola and am getting a new battery...
Has anyone ever had this happen that a battery should stop getting a charge at all after a flash?

Okay I have been trying to get a CM9 rom to boot on my Atrix for about a week now. I am coming from Nottachtrix 1.3.1 on radio 37p with faux GB24 kernel. My bootloader is unlocked and I perform all necessary wipes before install. The furthest I have gotten any of the CM9 roms to boot is the screen that states Android Apps(or something) updateing. It then states starting system and boots back to the booting logo. I have tried fastboot -w. Formating data, cache, system, osh, pre install in mounts storage menu, and clearing both caches before and after install and I get the same results. This only happens with CM9 roms. I cannot get the CNA, Jokers, Turls, or Atrix tablet past the screen stated. I have tried with the latest rom racer from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500 and both recovery and touch recovery from rom manager and I get the same results. I have posted my issue in the dev section, but decided this was better as I did not want to clutter up the dev forum with my problems. Could it just be my Atrix or would the 37p radio have something to do with the bootlooping issue. Any help would be very much appreciated.
For some odd reason I decided to pull my external SD card before boot, and freaking BOOM BANG POW NO BOOTLOOP!

Did you flash twice ?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
I believe the problem is with the radio, I had this issue (on stock radio), then I upgraded to the newest CM9 Kang (0.4.4) and it went away. I then flashed the 37p radio in an attempt to fix a problem I've been having with my WiFi and bluetooth (they both don't work and cause reboots, I assume now it's a hardware problem) and the boot loop came back. I'm gonna try flashing some other radios to see if that works.
Yes flashed twice to no avail. Gonna try the 36p radio and stock to see if that fixes my issue.

No need to flash any ROM twice. Not going to discuss other than to say its not require

Trust me, the CM9 kang (not turl's version, haven't tried that) didn't work unless you flashed it twice up to version 0.4.2 (I skipped 0.4.3 and installed 0.4.4 straight without wiping and only flashed once and it worked, so it's possible they fixed the bug). I don't think anyone knows why, but it's been confirmed many times.

Gonna give it a shot soon as I get off work.
EDIT:
Unfortunately that was a no go as well. Followed everything to a tee and tried different kernels. I can only get the AOKP rom to boot, but its is currently without USB storage. Does anyone know a difference in the roms that would cause my Atrix to boot on one and not the other. I can also manage to get the MIUI to boot.

I think something is going on with the kernel. You may have a bad processor. That's where my train of thought is right now. Sorry I couldn't get you up and running!

Thanks for all you help. Finally got it to boot by removing external sd card.
[EDIT] Not sure but I believe the problem I had with m external sd is I still had an ext4 primary partition on it from when I was using Webtop2SD. Copying everything over to pc now and reformating external to see if my assumption is correct.
Looks like the ext4 partition on as was the culprit.

(SOLVED) hello neighbors. I am having an issue... my atrix will only boot if i install honey atrix on it. i have tried many other roms. many different times. i have wiped all data cache partitions, dalvik, battery stats, formatted system, dat, cache. And still i can get nothing to boot besides Honeyatrix rom.
it seems to load them from the zip file ok just wont boot past the unlock dual core screen. i have let it set for 10-20 min to see if it will boot and nothing.
i had recieved this under warranty and it was shipped with the new 2.3.6. 4.5.91 and i rooted and unlocked using the unlock tool v.4.
any help with this would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance,

Try a full wipe with fastboot before flashing. Also may need to flash appropriate kernel. What ROM's have you tried?

your recovery is the problem install rom manager from market and update cwm or try romracer recovery.
Could also be the baseband radio. If that doesn't fix, looks like its time for the dreaded sbf.

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

This is the second phone this has happened to, so I'm inclined to believe the problem resides in either the recovery package or there is no way to go from ICS to stock. Here's what I did and what the result was.
1. Initial phone was having hardware issues. I needed to return it to the warranty exchange depot, so I went to flash the no BL file that you can download from the recovery thread. Everything indicated that it flashed just fine. Phone reboots after the process and it gets the the "rethink Everything" splash screen and just sits there. After a minute, it reboots the phone again. Does the same thing. I take the phone in and get it swapped out under warranty.
2. Load CM9 on new phone and notice that GPS doesn't work. Everyone else says theirs works for the same nightly (5/22), so obviously it's my phone that's the problem or a bad flash. Flash a new nightly (5/29) and GPS still doesn't work. I want to flash back to stock to ensure that it's the hardware that's the problem, not the software. I download the most current recovery NO BL file from the recovery thread to ensure I have a good one. Flash it and the exact same thing happens. I get the splash screen then a reboot.
So now the question is, does flashing ICS permanently make it so you can't flash back? Does ICS work fine, but for some reason CM9 doesnt? Has anyone else done this without a problem? If so, what did you do because 2 phones 'bricking' like this isn't convinsing me that it can be done.

I know it works, I just used it the other day to go from ics to gb. Did you do a factory reset after flashing? Make sure you have your sdcard backed up before you use stock recovery.

by factory reset, you mean from the recovery console?

Ok. You may now mock me. I did a factory reset and it worked. Feel like such a noob.
nothing to see here folks. Move along. Red, you can shut 'er down.

No one would mock you over this. It is your experience.
Next time, when somebody hit the same or similar problem, do help them.
Friendly reminder.. If you can start your title with [q], it probably belongs in QA...
Mock mock mock!
Great to know, this may not be posted and is only available as "common knowledge". You sir have made this solution available to anyone searching for it. Thank you!
