Unlocked Atrix bootloader... something weird happened - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok so i unlocked the bootloader and it rebooted the phone. well after reboot it pulled up the motoblur setup screen. I was confused so i skipped it then went to look at my apps and apparently my phone has reseted itself. I also dont have superuser so no root... i tried to get back into fastboot to root and the screen only says unlocked at the m logo. it doesnt let me select any options. I dont know what happened. Can any one help me at least figure this out? And can i reroot???

Did you try pressing the power and the volume down button at the same time on boot?

Rerooting shouldnt be a problem. Fyi the phone resets itself upon unlocking the bootloader... try oneclick or whatnot for rooting it again.

The device resetting itself is OK. Just restore your apps with Titanium Backup.
No superuser does not mean no root, you just need to reinstall.

You will have to be more specific than this...
Have you tried wiping Cache Partition and/or Dalvik Cache
When i boot the phone it never fully boots, when it finally gets to my lock screen the android system does not load. I can't do anything at all. I havent tried to root or anything. it just started and there was no reason why
the phone has finally booted to where my homepage would be but its a black screen that says android system on it and thats all. i can get to no apps or anything,
Im going too take a wild guess and say you either tried too install cwm without being rooted or u did not properly unlock your bootloadeR. Which is the case? Because this would not just happen did u read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423

You might have to use rsd lite to flash a stock rom. If you look thru the posts in the dev section you will find what your looking for. I believe the post is labeled but don't quote me, how to root after sbf flash. I know it's something like that.
Read up on using rsd lite it's very easy once you read about it.
Best of luck to you.
If I can be of any further help feel free to pm me and I'll do my very best.

i can honestly say that i did not try to install anything on it. the phone was running a little slow as i was installing an app so i turned it off after it was done downloading and when i went to start it back up this happened. i was not trying to root or anything

Sounds like you should factory reset.
Turn off phone
Hold volume down and press power
Continue holding volume down until it says fastboot in upper left corner
Release volume down
Press volume down until you get android recovery in upper left corner
Press volume up
Find factory reset option ( not sure where since I don't have factory recovery anymore)

[Q] Mobile goes to Pamper and stops

I rooted my Sprint HTC Evo 4glte and everything went fine, but I then I just installed 3DChainfire app without thinking.. installed it and when the phone restarted. My Phone would go to the Pamper page and after that it goes blank.
I would turn the power on and it would make my buttons flicker and then goes back to the pamper (HTC brillantly quiet) and shutsdown or goes black.
Is there anyways to reset the phone or somehow to get the phone back to the stock settings? Thank you for your help.
Looking on Chainfire3D on Market need Root which you have but S-OFF is also needed on HTC devices. After root did you also unlock bootloader? I am certainly novice but this might be the problem?
You can run the ruu it will take you back to stock, if you made a backup nows the time to use it.

After trying to run the RUU, it is stuck at reading the bootloader. After a minute or two it will say that the port or USB is not plugged in right. I plugged it in and everything is okay. It errors. My Phone screen will load and stay at the screen saying HTC.

Unfortunely I did not unlock the bootloader.
anyone able to help me? If there is any other solutions let me know? I also wonder if I bring it back to the store will they give me a new phone or no? Thank you.
Did you relock the bootloader before trying to run the RUU?
Through fastboot:
fastboot oem lock
Thanks everyone for helping me, I was able to find the solution to fixing my HTC EVO 4G LTE. I just had to load up the bootloader (by pressing power button+volume down button+ camera button) on my phone and reset it back to factory settings. Everyone works again now! Still ROOTED so good to go!

Custom Unlock Icon on Boot, what does it mean?

I have what I think is an unusual booting splash screen. It is the first thing to show up after turning on.
I also booted in to the Odin menu just to see the status and took a picture of that.
I just got my phone today and have done nothing other than install normal applications, I haven't tried to root or flash anything.
I watched a video of some other verizon SGS3 owner turning on their device and that unlocked lock icon and custom do not appear.
Anyone know what this means?
What I believe is normal boot up image (5:13)

You will probably get a better response if you post this in Q&A. I don't know the answer to your question though. I am curious what they answer is.
it comes up once you've flashed something using odin
if you'll notice on the third image, next to "SYSTEM STATUS:" it says "Custom" this means something other than something official has been flashed to it
i'd really like to know how you did this
me too
Like I said, I haven't done anything. I have actually not even plugged it into my computer yet via usb cable.
Maybe it came rooted

Its not rooted
I suspected that and tried to just download superSU and it doesn't work, says phone isn't rooted.
Assuming you bought yours brand new from the store, I'd go back. But first I'd try removing the microsd card and booting up. Then try the SIM card, then boot up again. If its still the same, something is up with your device. It keeps booting up into download mode. :S
I don't think he was saying it boots into DL mode on its own, just that he went into DL mode to confirm he's not running anything custom, which it appears he is not.
Strange that it would show the custom boot image when you're running the official ROM. I don't know that that's a bad thing, or that it's worth returning the phone. Might be worth calling Verizon and talking to them about it. At the least you then have a record that your phone was doing that from the beginning, so if you have to return it later on after installing custom ROMs, you can say it was always like that

We need a dump. It might help with Root.

James is right; whatever you do, DO NOT return your device to the store. You might have the golden ticket in your palms.

Please please don't return to VZW. See if a dev can help you to get dump. You could be holding the key to save tens of thousands of us.
This is very interesting. Subscribing to thread!
Although yours isn't rooted and perhaps not unlocked, the devs can check out what's different in your device through a dump and it could assist them in achieving root and unlocking the bootloader. I don't really know a whole lot about developing, so maybe that's not possible

You can Hard reset with press vol-, home and power at time
or put on the USB cab then press vol+ and power button to start S/W Update , in the Computer using KDZ update to reinstall SoftWare for LG L9
I was thinking about trying to root the phone but seems like I might mess it up. A lot of steps.

You've not even tried and your phone is bootlooped? How do you it will clear booting after a hard reset, have you tried? Does it bootloop again once youve restored your apps?
No I haven't done anything to the phone conceive gotten it back in January. I am running jellybean tho. For two straight days if I restarted my phone after the hard 're s st it would stick either on the t-mobile 4g screen or load all the way up and the screen would switch from" android is updating" "loading apps" to my home screen. But phone would finish. I Let it sit for two hours like that. And nothing happened so I just hard reset it and it has worked fine since then. And I have restarted it since then. I was thinking it was my dad's cheap car charger doing it?..

Unresponsive screen, dead PC connection, more.

Hello people, I really hope you can help me out on this one. I own the Sony Xperia U, which I had succesfully bootloader unlocked and rooted months ago. It had been runing ICS smoothly and everything was working great, until two days ago, when the screen started ocasionally missing/ignoring taps/sweeps. It was a real pain to type since it would miss a letter or more in every word I typed. I decided to do a factory reset, and so did I. The problem was not fixed. Now, I'm dealing with more: My computer does absolutely nothing when I connect the XU, and the phone itself only recognizes a charger. The same in debugging mode. Superuser does not work (can't get root access despite it says it has granted the rights), I can't even uninstall Superuser. What are my options? Can I somehow flash some things and do a full reset of the phone? I have CWM Recovery installed!
Thanks in advance!
PS: The main ambition is to get rid of everything but the screen problem. I'll probably replace the digitizer after that.
Anyone? Sorry for second post!
Proberly hardware problem. But you unlocked your bootloader and your pc is now as good as nothing. Just pay for the repair :-\

Well, I would recommend to flash stock again to remove root and relocking the bootloader and if the problem gets solved, root it again.
