I have a Motorola Atrix 4G running latest official 4.5.141 ROM & rooted.
Bootloader is still locked.
Everything works when the phone is booted up except that it takes a really long time to boot up.
It happens at the AT&T boot screen. It will stay on that screen for a good 1-2 mins transiting from dim to bright before the stock lock screen is displayed.
At first I thought it was because I enabled the device & storage encryption but my friend's Atrix 4G with same setup & encryption booted up normally within 30 secs.
What could be wrong?
Does anyone have this experience?

I think its because you use stock rom. I would suggest unlock the bootloader and flash custom rom, and you will see significant difference of speed...

Thanks for the suggestion but I hardly think that's the issue since my friend's Atrix has the exact same ROM & configuration & it's not experiencing this symptom. I've not read of other Atrix users having this problem with stock ROM.
Lastly, I'll lose device & SD card encryption with custom ROM if I'm not mistaken.

I performed a hard reset before setting up my phone.
I have not noticed the delay earlier so perhaps something in the ROM is acting up.
I've not unlocked the bootloader nor have CWM so I cannot backup the whole system. TitaniumBackup would not be sufficient to restore everything to the way I've set it up now.

Tried that but it didn't make any difference.
Thanks.
What if its something to do with the bootloader?
Reason I said that is because it stays on the AT&T Rethink Possible splash screen for a good 2 mins before loading the lock screen.
Up to this point in the boot sequence, I don't think the startup applications would make any impact to the boot time.
If its the bootloader, is there a way to reload the bootloader, assuming it is not a hardware issue.

Is your wife's Atrix running the stock ROM?
My friend has an identical model & ROM and we both removed similar AT&T apps.
However, his loads up to the lock screen in about 30 secs!

Do you know if unlocking the bootloader will cause me to lose the device & sd card encryption? I'm really dependent on that feature right now. Also, any idea which custom Atrix ROMs integrates the device & sd encryption from the stock ROM?
Thanks for your input so far.

Thats the rom. i've flashed back to stock 2.1 with the update. but im not sure what RFS is. I downloaded the one click UI for Vibrant with all kinds of options so i tried to flash the rom from there. It installed a cwm for me and i flashed the zip, went through but on reboot the cwm3's buttons are backwards and the rom wont start, keeps rebooting at the kernel screen and has wiped my internal sd. here are the instructions. thanks for any help.
~ To flash this rom you should be on RFS and then flash through recovery.
~ Once finished flashing, reboot
~ Now you should seriously just let it sit there for 15 minutes. I know, you want to play with it, but if you don't do this you will have problems. Period.
~ After 15 minutes, reboot. Don't even click through the startup screen, reboot right where it loaded.
~ After it reboots go through the startup and sign into google. Now let it sit there until google is completely done syncing.
~ Once sync is finished. Reboot AGAIN.
~ On next boot, now open your app drawer, open ext4 app and choose to convert to ext4
~ The key here is to be patient, let the conversion do its thing. It will reboot automatically when done.
~ Now when your phone boots back up you'll think you are good to go. WRONG! Give it ONE FINAL REBOOT.
rfs is the state your system files are at when Voodo (ext4) is disabled. So in other words, disable voodo before flashing this rom.
Now as to the way you should flash this, kudus to you for odining to stock. Now do it again, after so reboot to recovery. The update.zip file you had before should still be on your sd so once you enter stock recovery hit reinstall packages then the phone will reboot and either you'll face the 3e recovery or you'll have to hit reinstall again. Now once you're there wipe data then flash the rom's zip as usual.
i think i messed with the recovery before i flashed it cause i thought thered be a special kernel for it but i guess it flashes it with the rom. cool thanks man. btw which rom do you like the best so far? are you on gingerbread and whats your battery life like?

Im on MIUI now, that's GB. Battery life is good, obviously not as good as 2.2 or 2.2.1 though. But IMO it's damn worth it.
Try the two roms Dan ported on EDT they're both equally great and snappy. Especially Juwe.

i actually really like this rom, the only issue is i cant flash the kernels from sgs flasher, it always fails. is there a way i can take these zImage files and turn them into zips so i can flash them in cwm? The kernel is supposed to repair the video and camera app

Camera and video are fixed on the miui kernel. Its just that for some reason the rom refuses to play any other vid except the stock samsung one. So flashing the rainbow kernel won't fix that, hell it won't work in the first place since this needs its own cm7 like kernel.

hey xrider did you get the camera and video working on asgard? which kernel did you use and what method did you use to flash it? i tried the 1.2 rainbow(not sure what the rainbow effect is yet) and it just changed the video and camera from black to this snowey kind of screen
edit: strange i was messing with the battery and recalibrated it, tried to reboot into recovery to wipe battery stats with both the power button from the os, and then 3 button and neither worked, but on reboot camera and video work... hmph. since i solved that maybe you guys can tell me how to wipe battery stats from the OS, ive heard it can help improve battery life
The response on the touch screen for my atrix is all screwed up, I was wondering if anyone else had these issues.
I first got the phone in april and it worked flawlessly, for the last week the touch screen response has been really weird. sometimes it doesn't recognize input at all, other times it thinks i'm touching somewhere else, it often randomly selects a point on the screen completely on its own.
i'm unlocked, have a custom recovery. i started getting the issues on alien3, i flashed a new custom recovery and alien4 and i still have the problems.
i'm worried its hardware at this point, and i don't know what options i have for warranty since i got it on ebay. am i screwed?
First try again flashing everything from the start.
1. Flash the newest recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
2. Flash this radio for GingerBread ROMS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009
3. FULL WIPE - Dalvik, Cache and data. (Also internal&external SD if you want to)
4. Flash any FULL WIPE ROM you want, like Alien #4.
5. If still didn't resolve the problem and you want to try more stuff, try flashing other kernel ?
Like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156040
You can try also flashing full SBF, read more about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261

If you problem doesn't get solved by clean flashing a new ROM, then it's a hardware issues -> as in "you need to replace digitizer".

Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I have these issues to. They appeared randomly and there are random periods where it goes away, then comes back, sometimes worse than others. The SGS Touchscreen Booster app definitely helps, but it doesn't make it go away for me.
The only thing I haven't tried listed in this thread yet is flashing a new Kernel.
I've considered buying a new digitizer and replacing it myself, but the fact that the occurs so randomly and can even sometimes stop after rotating the screen, I'm very hesitant to do so.
i have tried this, but the problem still persist. I tried Optimized & Super Optimized settings, but its still the same
Even though the affects sound the same the cause maybe different. I know that sounds unlikely but I know that the Screen Booster worked for me.
There are a couple of other paths you may want to look at.
I was always convinced that the issue was not hardware based otherwise no matter what I did to the software it wouldn't have changed the fault but software changes did.
In my case before I implemented the app I would get a few hours respite by installing another base.
I have never used AT&T's OTA for Gingerbread so have been able to to SBF to what ever build I liked. For a while going to the initial Froyo build worked but as said only for a day at most. I had reached the point where I didn't care if it was Froyo or Gingerbread I just wanted a working phone.
No doubt I will get some flack for that comment however my phone has never hard bricked and I have been up and down the builds like a man possessed.
This is where I put the statutory do this at your own risk. It worked for me but I do not know the history of your device.
Then I came across this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131649 thread.
It worked ! Well for a couple of days.
At that point I started get get some respite to SBF'ing to Pudding 2.3.4 Pre-Root.
My trouble with all of this is that I do not understand the issue. I suspect it was a software glitch I created due to messing with builds. Screen Booster worked for me and if I were you I would spend a little more time before going down the other paths.
Again how I got it to work was as follows.
Install.
Set to Super Optimized, initially there was little change in the behaviour of the phone and I thought it was a bust.
Rebooted
Set to Super Optimized again and it started working.
If anyone should know why this screen behaviour happens please let me know. I am close to getting another Atrix so I can take Screen Booster off this one to try and figure it out.
My amaze used to be pretty solid, but I'm running into an issue where it reboots on a pretty regular basis, frequently when being turned on or launching something.
This used to happen when the battery got lower (like < 20%), so I bought some "Andida" batteries online which at first seemed great but quickly exposed the same problems.
Then I bought a pair of Anker batteries online, and at first things seemed ok but the problem has quickly reappeared and things are getting worse rapidly.
At this point, the Anker batteries are only maybe two weeks old, and no matter which of 5 batteries I put in (all fully charged, either in phone or in the Anker charger), reboots start appearing by 60%-70% battery life remaining, and its' getting so frequent that I can't rely on the phone for anything at this point.
Note - when plugged in, I don't have the problem.
It would be nice to have at least enough life left in this phone to get to the DROID DNA's release date in Canada, (or even a One X+) either of which look to be at least 30-60 days out.
Right now I am planning on doing a full NANDROID backup and fresh install of the ROM I'm running (ARHD 3.01). Past this, I could attempt to flash the latest Telus RUU but I doubt that's the issue, and I'm not sure if I would lose root or S-OFF if I go down that road.
Any thoughts on what the issue could be or if it's a detectable / repairable issue?
Thanks for any help!!

My phone used to do that. Just reflash an RUU. Your partitions are probably corrupted. If you want to root again, make sure you install a fresh ROM, not restore a nandroid.
I had the same exact issue no matter what Rom or ruu was flashed it still did it so I called T-Mobile and they replaced the phone under warranty and sent a new battery free of charge

Does this only get rid of root or does it get rid of s-off and sim unlock also?
Kusso - Flashing back to stock only removes root. It doesn't affect sim unlock or s-off.
That said - I am HAPPY to report that reverting to the Telus stock ROM (and getting off of ARHD and probably my slew of zillions of apps) has stopped the phone from rebooting, and battery life is also greatly increased!
The phone works like it should now, and is back to being a keeper.
Thanks for your help guys.
For thread searchers later, my process was:
-Backed up everything with titanium
-Backed up internal and external SD cards
-Formatted both SD's
-Manually copied back only core files (media and such) to the SD's
-Flashed the original Telus RUU from this site
-Flashed the OTA update
-Re-rooted and flashed back 4-Ext [Thanks Hasoon!]
-Mostly restored only core apps via Titanium, and mostly without the data unless I was sure the app was harmless
Back to a great experience.

I've gotten real pissed at my phone, for rebooting 3-4 times in a row. By that I mean, once it boots back up, it reboots again. I have no clue what's causing this issue. I'm running the ViperS rom (the one that was took down), and the faux kernel (v23 b6, since v24 won't install in my recovery) with it. I'm thinking of flashing Stock RUU again, so everything can be 'out of the box' sort of. It might be an application I installed, I have absolutely no clue. I'm also thinking of un-rooting and rooting it again, so a fresh start. Do you guys have any tips/solutions that might help out my problem, before i go berserk?
hmm im pretty sure your rom wasn't flashed properly if your experiencing reboots... but why would you want to flash a rom that isn't being supported and then post problems lols... why not go with a current stable/nightly rom lol..?

I always flash the superwipe zip right before i flash a rom, is that properly ?
and I flashed that rom because its the only one that catches my attention , but Eclipse's bulletproof is very similar to the ViperS rom, so I might try out that rom lol, and I'm more into Sense, TouchWiz, and stuff like that.

I'm not sure which one I am, I dont have system tuner or setCPU installed so the settings are whatever v24 faux kernel is.
UPDATE: Its not the kernel, because i tried it on eclipse rom and i still had the same problem
This is a total pain in the ass, my phone reboots upwards of 10 times a day, and with the Amaze's unamazing boot time, it really sucks.
I've tried everything. Stock RUU's, Custom Rom/Kernels. Everything. Nothing is working.
First I tried overheating tests. I wrapped the phone in blankets and ran a couple benchmarks with things running in the background. No fail.
Next I tried a discharge test. Charged to 100, let the phone sit idle while logcat was running, found nothing.
I've ran memtests = nada, no reboot
HOWEVER, I found that if you have only the Amaze on you, and you are on a lunch break waiting to pay for food and you need to make a transfer, the phone will crash.
I've used logcat and tried to capture what is happening, and all it shows is a cutoff, nothing happens, the battery just dies.
Something is messed up with the hardware itself, or the batteries, although I've never heard of the Dopods or Sensations (They use the same batteries) dying like this, so I don't know.
This is my second Amaze, by the way. My sister has the same problem, she is running stock.
My results: The Amaze is a ****, and all it wants to do is waste my time.

For some odd reason, batteries going bad has been a very common issue with the amaze. That could very well be the source of your problem.

Hi,
I'm having severe problems with my Amaze for weeks now. Thing is, I can't find a ROM that just works for me, nothing fancy or special, I just want to flash something and use my phone rather than flashing ROM every few hours.
First let me tell you about my phone:
It's T-Mobile Amaze 4G, S-ON and with 4EXT recovery.
My problems are that:
1) After each phone restart, most of the times phone doesn't find my SD card and as I store my apps on it, I have to restart again and again and hope for a time that it does find my SD card.
2) Whenever I tweak a ROM, even a bit, and I don't mean hack, just using the option the ROM itself provides like tweaks that Revolution does, phone crashes constantly and I have to reflash.
3) I have severe problems with ICS ROMs that seem stable and people are saying that they use regularly.
4) Even if I don't try to customize a ROM, phone gets into weird problems like crashes at startup or stuck at htc logo that leaves me into reflash.
I got this phone from my brother who was using 2.x ROMs on it but I wanted Nexus look so I upgraded to ICS with ph185.img and then been trying almost all ROMs but I'm yet to find something that I can safely put my sim card in it without worrying that it might miss a call or drain battery fast.
I first wanted Nexus pure android look but I now fell back to htc stock look and been trying all other ROMs, even though downloading ROMs is very expensive. Maybe I have to S-OFF and fall back to 2.3.4 ROMs.
Any help is highly appreciated as I'm so desperate and can't afford another phone for at least a year.
Thanks.

1) After each phone restart, most of the times phone doesn't find my SD card and as I store my apps on it, I have to restart again and again and hope for a time that it does find my SD card.
2) Whenever I tweak a ROM, even a bit, and I don't mean hack, just using the option the ROM itself provides like tweaks that Revolution does, phone crashes constantly and I have to reflash.
3) I have severe problems with ICS ROMs that seem stable and people are saying that they use regularly.
4) Even if I don't try to customize a ROM, phone gets into weird problems like crashes at startup or stuck at htc logo that leaves me into reflash.
I got this phone from my brother who was using 2.x ROMs on it but I wanted Nexus look so I upgraded to ICS with ph185.img and then been trying almost all ROMs but I'm yet to find something that I can safely put my sim card in it without worrying that it might miss a call or drain battery fast.
I first wanted Nexus pure android look but I now fell back to htc stock look and been trying all other ROMs, even though downloading ROMs is very expensive. Maybe I have to S-OFF and fall back to 2.3.4 ROMs.
Any help is highly appreciated as I'm so desperate and can't afford another phone for at least a year.
Thanks.

Tried that already.
Any other solution?
Right before I make this topic, I was happy with Revolution HD but then after like 10 days it got into a very unstable phase in which that it would automatically restart itself constantly even without me touching it.
