I was following the phone unlocking guide in a sub-forum got my unlock code, powered off, inserted a different sim, powered on. I didn't get a request for a code; phone started up fine except no network access. I got a message a short while after something like android.phone stopped working.
Turned the phone off, put original sim back in and turned the phone on. All the phone will do is flicker the backlight every couple of seconds. 3-button recovery will take me to "Downloading..." and sit there. Flashing to Gingerbread using Odin will get to the RESET and phone will power off and phone will sit there screen flashing as before.
Anything I can do to resolve this?

Hey!
Look HERE. Hope its helping!
CHEERS!
Yep, I just done that. Now the phone will not power on at all. It will show as a device in Odin and Device Manager but no power comes up. It will not even go into recovery either.

Hey!
Firstly: For me worked(not in unlock, but in some other cases, where other soft fails) the STOCK ..XXKC1. Try to flash it. Dose you put you phone in to "Download" mode for Odin?
Where you get that UNLOCK? From here?
These are the questions, what I want answers. Maybe after that I can say surely.
TIA!
CHEERS!
I was following the guide [TUTORIAL]How to Network Unlock Samsung Galaxy Ace Via ADB. Phone didn't ask for unlock code when I put a Vodafone sim in my o2-locked Ace. Shortly after putting the Vodafone sim in it said something like Android.phone force closed.
I can flash any firmware but so far the phone will not boot. The screen will just flash after flashing firmware and I can put it in Downloading recovery but nothing else happens so far.
Could it be something to do with the phone storage being screwed up? I followed the tutorial word for word and got my code and everything.

Hey!
Sorry, then. I cant answer. Dont know that. Maybe better to ask in that thread, from where you followed the TUTORIAL, how to unlock.
Go back to that thread and ask in there.
CHEERS!
I,m The owner of the Unlocking post and i feel like i need to help, Last night i was "Playing" ClockWork Recovery and i touched the "Fix Permissions" option, the phone got stucked and i waited like 10 minutes and nothing happend so i long pressed the power button for a hard reset and when the phone turned on it made the same thing that your did, it sended me a message like yours and the phone started acting weird, and throw me a lot of other error messages so i rebooted the phone and the same, so i entered the recovery again and made a wipe/data and calvik cache, turned the phone back on and problem solved, if it does not work try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071970 and you can install a custom rom wich is better than stock, i suggest FirstUA-ROM, i hope this was helpfull and im sorry that this happens to your phone.

Hi mate. Thanks for dropping in. I cannot enter recovery; the phone just does what happens in the OP - it just flashes. I can only enter 3-button recovery. So far I've tried 5 different firmware 2 Froyo (inc stock) and 3 different Gingerbreads found droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-original-stock.html. Will try a custom firmware but otherwise will try and take the phone back to o2 tomorrow.

Hey!
Dont take it back to SERVICE, before you not get flashed back to STOCK firmware or they can MAYBE, see that you not in stock firmware. Just saying it, that you DONT get in to trouble, with warranty.
CHEERS!
Yeah too it into o2 this morning. Luckily the dipshits that work there don't know anything. He just plugged it into his laptop and ran Kies. It's being sent off though. Hopefully will be sorted in warranty for free
Hello,
To solve this problem, did you activate the warranty?
I have the same problem, none of the existing ROM work, or find another solution?
I appreciate the help,
mscofield07
Yeah; I sent it back for warranty. They replaced the main PCB.
Can we unlock locked SGA? ?
XDA Rocks!
Hey Guys..
I recently received a refurbished Atrix 4g as a warranty exchange and everything was working fine for a while. Then I decided to unlock the BL and try a few of the ROMs out there. No issues with the flashing part, but now I get random shut downs maybe 10-15 times a day. I have tried multiple thing without success so far so if you have any idea what could help please let me know how to do it.. How can I adjust the CPU/voltage settings on the phone (might work..?)
The phone does not shut down/restart while I am charging or it is in use. Seems to be only in sleep/idle mode
Types of shut downs:
1. Phone shuts off and I have to pull the battery so that it will turn on (green light blinks every few seconds while it is off even without notifications).
2. Phone shuts off and I can get it to turn on by pressing the power button (same light situation as above).
3. Phone shuts off but immediately turns back on and boots up fine.
4. Phone shuts off but immediately turns back on but rather than booting up shows the red text error "Unreachable bootloader error 0x00000004" (green light lit dimly). Will restart fine once I pull battery and reboot.
What I have tried so far:
1. Flashing different ROMs with different kernels.
2. Replaced battery.
3. Read a million posts on issues somewhat similar.
Thanks for any help!
I have the same thing it's because you unlocked the boot loader I no this because if I relock it it never sod
I would use fast boot to wipe data wipe cache and dalvic and then properly flash a good working rom like cm7 or nottach trix something like that also you could wipe every thing and flash current sbf /root into it then flash rom
if the second option still messes up its a hardware issue

Hey, thanks for the suggestions.
I have tried or am currently using those ROMs .. Is there a safe way to flash the current sbf if i started off at 2.3.6 4.5.141?
My atrix did the same thing when I first flashed the neutrino rom but it was only because I wasn't using rom racers recovery. Try flashing that and then wipe everything and flash neutrino again. I'm not sure if that's your problem but flashing the latest recovery fixed mine.

you relocked the bootloader? really?
please do tell us more lol
What is the cause if you have random reboots with a fully stock Atrix? My wife has an Atrix that I'm not allowed to touch (meaning root it or unlock bootloader, etc). She has had it a few months and this past week while she has been using it, it just reboots. I have never experienced this on any of my phones. Any thoughts? I would be grateful for the insight so i don't have to do a warranty exchange.

Iglf that didn't work you should return it. Mine would just reboot and not show some error. Maybe you got aa water damaged phone? Its possible for water to just hit a price of metal to cause a phone to go bonkers

I'm guessing he means the fix that makes the "unlocked" message stop appearing, lots of people were doing it to return for warranty issues when the Atrix was newer. It doesn't actually relock it, it just stops showing unlocked at boot.
I have a completely stock atrix and do to touchscreen issues(wouldnt respond halfway throuh any function) i did a factory reset via settings menu. Cleared up my touchscreen issues so far but now my phone reboots 5-10 times an hour unless charging or during call...

Both a co-worker and myself have been experiencing random reboots for the last week. Both of ours are 2.3.6/4.5.141. Only difference between ours is mine is rooted, his not.
I wiped my Dalvik cache last night, and so far only rebooted once in the last 24 hours (Before it was almost 5 times a day). I did same wipe on his phone, and will see if that fixes problem.
It's just weird that everyone with an Atrix is experiencing this reboots.
I have the sme problem of my phone.. but random reboots appears when internal temp reaches over 38 degrees. I want to take it back to warranty but WTF am I gonna do with a new atrix that I can't touch??
So.. somewhere I read that an app called load monitor can help with this problem.. so I did.. Downloaded from market.. my cell phone has been working pretty good so far.. I created a profile on SetCPU and undervolted it 25 Mhz..
I haven't flash a sfb file just because I dont want to hard brick my phone..
If anyone wants to try what I said please let me know if that worked for you guys..
Regards..!!
I've had this twice in the past twelve hours. It happened once when I had it plugged into my computer in mass storage mode and another time when it was just sitting idle. I've always had load monitor installed on my phone. It tells me something is using a ton of resources, but I can't tell what. Task manager doesn't yield any answers either.
I was just going to send mine in, but I forgot about the new bootloader lock. F***.
I'm running the latest Nottachtrix (flashed via romracers) and the Faux123 1.45ghz kernel.
I know it's not water damage, as suggested earlier. It just started last night and my phone wasn't near water.
This issue seems to be all over the board. Some have some don't. Its very frustrating. I cant even u a case on my atrix. Anytime I use the phone more than 30 mins at a time I get either get the blue sleep or a reboot. And have to pull the battery. Have a spare unrooted atrix I'm gonna switch to til this issue can be resolved.

try using a different kernel with your roms
Reboots
I used to have the same problem, constant reboots all day long. I seem to have cured it installing 1.4.2 telstra, (im on a Bell), and then unlocked and rooted, then flashed 4.5.133 and hit it with faux's 1.45 ghz kernel, works like a charm now. This info might help..
Is is this issue with the WiFi?
I have heard that there is a problem with the Broadcom WiFi module that is inside the phone, when it dies it causes the phone to randomly reboot.
There is an ICS ROM that does not include support for this chip so it may fix the problem (provided you don't ever need WiFi or Bluetooth)

HELPPP
Please my atrix 4g just keeps turning off like every 30-15 minutes and sometimes because overheating i think and i have no warranty at all i bought of ebay at first it was okay but the i unlocked bootloader and rooted i was 2.3.6 4.5.141 and im no nottchatrix 1.31 first i was on neutrino 2.8 and allways reseted.. and i think the fingerprint sensor wont work now my phone worked like a charm when i bought it but now not help pleaseeeee
Hey there. I took a loan of my mums phone but I needed to unlock it so I went to root it.
I got Odin and it passed fine, and when I went to reboot, it said it was downloading and not to turn off. But it went on for ages so I presumed it froze so I turned the phone off and back on.
Now the phone wont turn on.
When turned off it charges fine, the charging symbol comes up and all but when I turn it on the screen goes black and nothing happens.
It's connected to USB and sounds like it gets picked up but I can't see it in my computer.
Can anybody help me and tell me how to fix this? I want to fix it before I have to give it back to her.
Thanks for any help!
EDIT
BTW I can still get into the CWM I think its called recovery menu. I'm pretty sure the phone was rooted, it just wont start up correctly.
I tried wiping dalvik cache, restoring to factory settings and fixing permissions, nothing fixed the issue however
This is the tutorial I followed: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-jelly-bean-android-4-1-14-1-2/
I'm guessing since I can access recovery and download modes it's not that bad, I just need to install something else some how? Any ideas?
Restore any back up ..hope you have one..

Neat Rom lite v4.4

once again.. if it your first rooting process then you need to unlock the bootloader.. use CF-root by chainfire..
Not quite. The bootloader on the SGS2 isn't locked.
You need a rooted kernel which has busybox & SU. CFRoot does, but you can also flash the Odin version of any custom kernel which works with the Android version of the stock rom you're running to achieve the same result, I.E a rooted phone.
Man...that's 2 threads I've read in the last 5 minutes where people are having problems with their phones after following advice from Galaxys2root.com.....is it coincidence?

I did updated my phone to ICS the day i bought it.
I used the bluetooth numerous number of times, but never had any problem,
but day b4 yesterday i used the sony factory widget to turn on bluetooth, i dont remember if i did used it before to turn bluetooth on or not.
The phone stopped responding for 2 sec, i thought its normal for android, and then it restarted.Until that point it was normal..
But then its stuck in bootloop.....
i saw various posts and have seen people have got to boot into system once in a while....
but bad for my luck i am trying from 24hrs... but no luck...
out of 10 boots or when battery is removed from phone from long time, phone shows lock screen for a milisecond and goes back to XPERIA logo and same story continues...
FYI: i had previous soft brick when used OTA update but got rid of it using "UnbrickingXperia2011.zip",

I have same problem, just wipe dalvik cache and then after reboot install this "bluetooth fix repair" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phk.bluetoothfixrepair

I think I am facing the same problem. A family member has that phone and they asked me to check it. Phone boots normally until the point you try to unlock the screen or touch the screen in general. I tried a hard reset with complete wiped data and system reboot... And then everything was going fine phone was working normally, so I turned it off took off the battery put in the sim card and turned it on again. everything seemed fine until I tried to unlock the screen. Then same thing happened, phone went off straight way. I am thinking it may has a faulty battery but I would like to explore all different options before I spent more money for the replacement battery.
Did you had any luck?
