I think i have ****ed up my Phone.
I've flashed 1.8.3 on my AT&T Atrix and then updated to 2.3.4 with the official patch from Motorola. ( From here http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=9098bc50a569f210VgnVCM10000081bbb00aRCRD )
It worked all without problems.
After this i've tried to flash this sbf: "Full 2.3.4 with preinstall root and pudding bootloader unlock, full sbf" ( from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15023030 )
At the end i got a error in RSD Lite:

I tried to flash the 1.8.3 again but got the same error.
When i start the phone now it shows "SVF:105:1:2 Failed to boot 0x1000" and turns off after two seconds.
What to do ?

If it doesn't give you any options to enter fastboot, RSD, recovery, etc then you bricked your phone
If you took the time to read in the dev section it would have told you not to flash to 2.3.4 from Motorola. Reading is important, could have saved your phone

When it gives the error and shuts off...it's hard bricked...no fix.
You have to send it in for repair. Same thing happened to me. :/

these guys don't know what they're talking about. google the error you got, go to the thread on "atrixforums" and follow the instructions. there doesn't seem to be anyone on xda that knows how to fix this for some reason. the same thing happened to my brother's atrix a few weeks ago and it's up and running now

I googled it and only found a recovery-solution for a SOFT-BRICK. Please be so kind and post the link to the thread that has the solution for a HARD-BRICK.
The thing that was done wrong here was first flashing up to GB, then down to FroYo again to RECIEVE THE OTA!!! After an OTA he first tried to flash pudding and ended up with error - that can happen, no big deal.
The capital mistake was to flash 1.8.3. AGAIN!!!!
If you had read this thread (it´s A STICKY for good reason!!!!) this would never have happened.
So yes, the guy bricked his phone and if he does not have the Motorola equipment needed to fix that, he has to send it in for repair...
No need to be pissed off with someone who bricked their own Atrix. The playground visciousness of our Atrix forum on XDA is absurd.

Me? Not really pissed but a little annoyed. The Q&As are full of people posting problems they simply could have solved by reading the instructions carefully and/or using the search. SBF is something to be handeled with greatest care!
What annoys me big time is people who say XDA doesn´t have the solution, claim that it´s written somewhere (just google it...) and don´t provide the link!
The poor guy hard-bricked his phone for sure and I´m sorry for that!

Care to link this thead for us?
If you get the message the OP got you are hard bricked. If you get the message the OP got along with a menu displaying options such as RSD, fastboot, recovery............you have a soft brick from which you can recover.
Hi there, Forgive me if there is a thread already for this. But I have a T-Mobile UK Motorola Atrix and i want to reinstall the firmware that came with the phone. I was unable to do a backup of the stock rom and Currently have a Stock French rom on the device. Is there a way to put the original rom on it and lock the bootloader?
Thanks Adam
Ill second this request too.

This is SBF file which will get your mobile to stock and also will lock your bootloader (it's not going to be locked again but it will remove "unlocked" from top left corner).
In order to use sbf files you need to download RDS lite and have moto drivers installed. (If you are already unlocked then you will have all this tools)
This is link to original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944
REMEMBER this is an SBF file and it's not the safest way to go back to stock (but the best) and can brick your mobile if your pc is going to stop working/freeze/resboot while applying sbf...
Hope this help
P.S I did go back to stock this way and gave my phone for warranty without any problems.

This will only get you back to stock but you still will have "unlocked" on the top left corner. Just FYI
Thankyou
Thankyou for all your help I have the T-Mobile stock rom back on it now. I had to do a hard reset to make it work though. Just a note to anyone thinking of doing this. Does anyone know how to make the Atrix boot faster? It takes ages on the t-mobile screen. I have rooted it and was thinking of Freezing some parts of the OS but im a bit worried incase it messes up

i have the t mobile uk 2.3.4 sbf save on pc
I really need the t-mobile uk sbf. How can I get it from you Ashley, can you upload it somewhere? thanks
did you ever upload the stock sbf file in the end because im looking for it aswell and all the links i find are dead :-s
Any help would be great
Hi, Can someone please re-upload the SBF from the start of this thread, I need to remove the unlocked and back to stock.
Thanks
I'll try and do it later this evening, check Sam Cripps Atrix Reboot Project thread at the top of this section, that's where I'll put it.
Done, it`s here http://samcripp.com/files/. I haven`t ever flashed this myself, but it`s straight from moto thro their updater SW so should be intact. I`m sure you`re aware there may be risks involved flashing an SBF, that said, enjoy!
Thanks.

So I rooted my phone about 3 days ago using a not so popular method i think. I rooted my phone without using a computer or a dock and pushed the tmp file with terminal emulator. That's not my issue though. My issue is that I attempted to install cm9 but I F**cked up because i am new at this kinda stuff. Now My phone is bricked and all it says is "failed to boot 2 starting RSD mode" I cant do anything though. I am downloading 1FF sunfire user 2.3.4 zip i have RSDLite 5.5 I cant seem to find the SBF for it.
If someone could help me by giving me step by step instructions it would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
I need Urgent Help as I am leaving out of town this weekend and I need my phone working by then. PLEASE HELP
Thanks,

Mario did you do the OTA to 2.3.5? If so you have a expensive paper weight. The new OTA doesn't allow flashing.

No worries, you'll be fine. Sounds like you're having the same problem as another gentleman we've been helpin for the past couple days. You've flashed a rom that you can only use while having an unlocked bootloader. Please refer to my post in his thread right here for a link to an sbf and video directions. This will only work if you rooted while you had 2.3.4. If you took the recent ota update from moto that put you on 2.3.5 then I can't help you.

You can root 2.3.5 just fine. You just can't install custom ROMs if you had it. No you're not bricked, it would have just been an easy fix if you tried this while having 2.3.4 installed. If you had 2.3.5, you just made it extremely difficult on yourself. Hope isn't lost, your just out of my area of expertise. Should have read around the forums a bit more, the 2.3.5 issue is common knowledge round here.

I just performed this on my Atrix 4G that was running 2.3.6 Stock exactly 7 days ago. It was the first time I had ever done anything to my phone since the last AT&T update. I had root before the update, but it was taken away when I applied the update. Since Motorola doesn't want to do a major update for my phone (Boo to them!), I decided to try flashing CM7 Olympus, and now I wish I had done it sooner!
I didn't check the links above, but I followed these instructions to the letter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
The process made me nervous, but it worked perfectly!
EDIT: Those are the closest instructions I could find to the original ones I had. I found the ones I actually used on Atrix Forums' website. The article is called "[TUT]Unlocking Bootloader and Installing Custom ROMs" (I'm too new to link to an external site due to forum regulations.)
Unlocked same version from ATT
I had to flash 4.1.83 sbf. The regular unlock process. But be careful as it could brick your phone. I experimented and luck was on my side.
Thanks,
Jinesh

Followed those instructions as well. I feel like I am very close to having my phone back to where it needs to be for me to consider the mission a success I am only experiencing an issue adding Google accounts and getting into the android Market. I did a titanium backup restore and got all of my apps back and restored system settings, but Gmail crashes every time I try to open it and the Market opens a white window then goes away without any warning or error info.
I haven't flashed a custom rom so I am still in the stock Gingerbread ROM.
Trying to add a Google account gives me the message "Can't Establish a reliable connection..." If I followed this guide, am I fine to do a hard reset, as that is the only solution I have found online to the Can't Establish connection error?
Original Post Deleted: Oops moment
If your intentions were to flash a custom rom, I would perform a nandroid backup and then flash away following the instructions you've been using.
If you unlocked the bootloader, your phone was probably returned to stock just like performing a hard reset. Google Play (or Market) usually needs a very good connection to run its first update, so if you're not on wifi, connect to that first. If you still have that problem, try clearing the data for that app (from the home screen > Menu > Manage Applications > "Market" > Clear Data)
If you were trying to flash a fruitcake (to return it to stock after flashing a custom ROM), still try clearing the app data and, if that doesn't work, try flashing the fruitcake again.
I'm sorry if this is the wrong section to post this in.
I've searched all over several different forums and this entire section and can not find a SBF file for my USCC Electrify to go back to 2.3.4 so that I can take my phone in for repair without locking it forever with the 2.3.5 SBF.
All the SBF links I've found were from the mophoforum.com and are broken links, seems like the site isn't even online anymore.
So if anyone can please help me find the USCC Electrify 2.3.4 SBF file I would be very pleased!

It isn't a contract device I brought it to USCC from a previous USCC account so I doubt they'll do that. Plus I'm not sending it in for repair I'm just taking it to a tech to help diagnose a duplicate sms messages issue.
Btw, thanks for the link! Figured that since it is for flashing the phone it wouldn't go in Q & A.

If they switch it out for an Electrify that shipped with 2.3.5, he can still unlock. My Electrify will attest to that, as it shipped with 2.3.5 as well. Team US Cellular's forum has an "electrify.zip" in their downloads that contains all you need. I don't know if this is here on XDA as well. Now if they OTA upgrade it to 2.3.5 he's indeed stuck locked, and that would be unfortunate, and if I were OP I'd raise seven hells over it. Especially since US Cellular probably doesn't have any Electrifys left to just exchange it...
