Hello All I am stuck in a soft brick I believe. I was in rom toolbox and tried to change my gps icon and the start up boot screen and it send the phone in to a bunch of force closes. Either way I am running 2.3.6 on 4.5.141 ATT. I am able to get to the recovery screen and I have already wiped user data and did the format from the recovery screen and that didn't help. With fast boot I did a wipe command which showed successful and then rebooted and I am still stuck on the dual core moto screen. So I have now I am following this tutorial [HOW TO] Use RSD Lite to Flash a SBF File - Motorola Atrix I have downloaded all of the drivers and files. I power on the device and put it in fast boot mode and it says starting fastboot protocol support. My device model shows up as fastboot port #1 usb and status connected. nothing in device properties. I get to the c drive where i located the file and hit start and it says "failed flashing process. Unable to retrieve interface handle. (0x7027) phone connected. result fail. obviously. any help would be appreciated. Would a good idea to be just copy an update zip to an sd card and install from the recovery. sorry i'm a noob in a little over my head. thanks in advance

I would try flashing the latest Atrix-CWM-based recovery, then either FruitCake (2.3.4 is stable) or NottachTrix's ROM via recovery. before flashing, however, wipe cache/dalvik cache, and factory data/reset.

Ok so I have tried connecting through RSD Lite to run 1.2.6, 1.5.4 and 1.8.3 with the process always failing. I noticed that RSD Lite doesnt even recognize the device just that is says "flash".
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have looked through these forums and Google for answers with no luck...
I assume you pulled your battery and tried to put phone in RSD mode to flash again. Also did you flash .26 or .83 from the OTA 4.5.91? This results in a hard brick.
Im not sure...I had GreyBlur installed and went to install cherryblur. While in recovery I deleted all cache, davik then installed to bring me to this loop.
Can you get into recovery? And is it tenfars recovery for unlocked bootloader? Try to wipe again and flash cherryblur again.
Did you try this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015564 This is for gingerblur 4.0 / 4.5 which is what i think you have. Try to wipe data/factory data reset from the recovery.
or this one?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160649 This requires an unlocked bootloader.
Also try to reinstall the drivers for Motorola Atrix http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers. Make sure you have them all up to date. And i'd use rsd lite 5.3.1. Do not flash anything if you on the gingerbread update Official OTA 4.5.91 android 2.3.4. You will brick your device. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160408
I can get into recovery fine but it will not open the internal sd card which is where I have the flash rom at. If I had a sd card and tried to flash do you think that would work?

I would think that would help but don't know why you cant access internal through recovery.
I updated my post above about RSD lite drivers etc. I would try that before i went out and bought a sd card.
Hi There
I was using GingerBlur on my Atrix until I decided to go ahead and try out CherryBlur.
I downloaded the MEGA pack as suggested by the developer, booted into CWM recovery, "Installed zip from SD card".
After about 2-3 minutes, it said: Installation Successful.
From the menu options, I chose, Reboot.
From then on, I cant boot my phone. It just says, "Failed To Boot 4" and goes into RSD mode.
I cant get it to fastboot or anything.
Question:
Which SBF do I flash now? I heard flashing too old an SBF can hard brick my phone because apparently later versions of Android set a fuse somewhere on the phone?
Could please someone help me by telling WHICH sbf will save me here?
Hello!
I own an Atrix which is rooted on stock froyo 2.2.2 from Brazilian carrier Claro.
I tried to install CWM with Rom Manager but after my device rebooted I got the Failed to Boot 2 error message, so I flashed to bootloader with IHOP_bell.sbf (didn't unlock it) and it booted again but now the phone only recognizes 373mb of ram and I cant enter Android Recovery, it shows the Failed to Boot 2 error message again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time!
Fixed.
If you have a similar issue after trying to install CWM with Rom Manager:
(YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA)
1. Acquire a full sbf of the rom you have installed.
2. Download RSDLite 5.5.
4. Open RSDLite 5.5, click "..." and select your sbf.
5. With a full charge, plug your phone in and reboot your phone holding volume up.
6. Wait for RSDLite to recognize it.
7. Click start and wait.
Everything should be fine now
At this point is good to mention CWM is not to blame for this AFAIK since I can install it from the APK just fine. Rom Manager was the one who screwed up big time.
Things went from bad to worst, I fixed my market update and had the utlities on the device i needed to i tryed flashing the Neutrino Rom.
After it was done it rebooted and said "failed to boot 2 starting rsd".
So I downloaded RSD Lite and found the unlock SBF which I applied. Now I can get into the FastBoot menu's and go to Android Recovery and try to do the back to stock option, it says it completes then reboots...
Then it just sits and sits and sits on the motorola Dual core logo.
Can someone please help me here. I cant seem to find any of my backups i made with system recovery or rom manager. I also didnt load RomRacers Recovery (which i just now noticed)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
So, did you unlock the bootloader before trying to flash the ROM?
Does it say "Unlocked" at the boot logo now?
Get back into fastboot and flash romracer's recovery and then try to mount the storage and get another rom on there.

i unlocked the bootloader after the update failed (i panicked) and yes it does say unlocked at the top now
Well, you mentioned you can get into fastboot so that's a start. You can try to flash a proper recovery and try to boot into recovery and see if you can mount the storage, or if you have a card reader you can just put a ROM on your sd card and then flash. If you can't get into recovery but you can get into fastboot you can flash a rom that way. You'll have to search for the procedure but I'm almost certain it can be done. If all else fails, you can install the unlocked "Full" SBF through RSD Lite, but it is not really recommended but should work.

Thanks so much. I got radracers on there and reflashed the neutrino rom again. Everything appears to be working. Now to just figure out the rest.
Thanks again.
Look tke the sd card and load the rom and google apps. Then go and fastboot wipe and re install the rom and try to boot honestly it just sounds like you got a corrupted rom
I decided to flash a factory image since the GPS was not working anymore with whatever ROM I tried, plus random problems. The phone was previously set up with CM10.1 and BMM.
Installed RSD Lite, Moto drivers, downloaded several stock ROMs.
From the factory recovery mode I cannot flash any of those zip files so I proceed with RSD lite. I flashed "9.8.2O-124_SPUEM-14_S7_USASPDRICS01O2UKE1007.0R_USASPDRJBO2GB_P013_A012_p2b_S1FF_fb.xml.zip" which is a retail UK JB image. The phone shows the very first boot screen (red logo) and then the screen goes blank. The computer still sees an MTP device, though only in device manager.
I've tried installing other images but they are an older type (ICS I guess, 01.6.7.2-180&01.6.5.1-167) and RSD shows an error while trying to flash the first file from the archive.
Oh, I still have the "Customer error: contact dealer" on the first boot screen, I think this was from a ICS to JB upgrade with CID deletion(?).
I've already flashed twice using RSD, deleted cache+data, rebooted and left the phone to start up for ten of minutes, don't know what to do. RSD lite reports that flashing was ok.

Did you erase CID?
if you did yo need to boot in a different way
U did a factory reset in stock recovery? U cannot flash a ics image after flashing jb via rsd. Try again jb EU image than go to stock recovery and perform the wipes
Tapped from my RazR
Got it "fixed", finally. I had to go back into the stock boot/recovery menu and choose "BP Tools", last option from the menu and then it booted normally.
I still have to do this after each reboot because it boots to the black screen: hold the three buttons together until it flashes (which means a hard reboot), let go of the power button, press power button again while the other two are still pressed.
On the plus side the GPS started working again after factory reflash which it was kind of expected since the same chip is providing also WiFi and bluetooth which were running fine.
I have a root question: the device was rooted with the virtual machine procedure but after a factory reset the root was lost. I had saved it using Voodoo RootKeeper and the app shows: superuser installed, device rooted, /system supports root protection, protected su available. The "root permission granted" checkbox is disabled though and no application is able to retrieve the root. The su binary is in both /bin and /xbin so I don't understand how it can not function.
Edit: ok, got it, the su binary has -rwsr-sr-x and the owner is root so random users cannot execute it. I also cannot change the permissions so I probably have to root again and figure out a way to keep the root after a factory reset. It makes sense to install BMM since it can take care of permissions.
