So I have a rooted, unlocked atrix 4g running nottachtrix 1.3.1 (which is based off of 2.3.6 and the 4.5.141 OTA). anyway, the phone worked fine for a couple of weeks after i bought it. SOOOO I bought a lapdock just to use for long car rides and stuff (big screen movies). after about three days with the lapdock the phone started acting up so I wiped dalvik/factory restore/wipe data and reflashed Nottachtrix. Then it would boot up to Motoblur registration and after 2 seconds, shut off. So I did the restore process again and now the phone will only boot to the M logo.
I can pull up the "fastboot" menu but it won't actually open those options. For example, if i choose android recovery, the phone will stay on the M logo and say "starting android recovery" but it won't ever get to the recovery. This applies for all the fastboot options and also for just booting up normally (just stays on the M logo forever).
I read somewhere ( i think it was here) that some people are having a similiar problem and it can be fixed by using RSD and flashing an sbf (would that be alright with my unlocked 4.5.141?) and the problem originates from a problem in the webtop partition (which makes sense considering my recent use of webtop). However, as I can't get into rsd can someone help me? has anyone else had this problem?
Sorry didn't mean to thank you. My hyper kitten did that.
one of the thread i read earlier about a problem similiar to mine, someone did the same thing (accidentally thank someone)
Needs to be a way to unthank. Lol. Hope you get your problem fixed.
bumpo
I would try flashing the 2.3.6 sbf using rsd lite. That would at least get you back to stock, and you could start over.
I also use nottachtrix and I have no troubles, so I do not think it is your problem.
After flashing, if that doesn't fix it for you, you are ready for warranty, and they are being very generous with replacement at the moment. But go straight to Motorola, not where you bought it. If you bought it used, don't offer that info, they don't even ask that question.
Good luck.
Have you tried going to fastboot mode directly while booting up. (Volume up)
I faced similar issue while flashing a rom (no dock though).
Deleted the data (fastboot -w), wiped the caches, and luckily it worked. Then I could go into recovery and flash another rom.

except i can't get into fastboot or rsd. it will show that option and say "starting Rsd protocol" but it won't actually start the rsd protocol (atleast my computer doesn't recognize it)
i can get into CWM recovery, though i have to turn it on, selecet android recovery, and then plug it into the lapdock.
DO NOT USE RSD UNLESS UR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.
if u can get to recovery and fastboot then do this via fastboot.
All CRAP REMOVING
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase preinstall (not required)
fastboot -w (redundant, wipes userdata and cache)
and if possible reflash ur recovery too (might be the problem maker.
and then re-download ur favorite ROM and flash again.
I had such problems in gobstoper (bell stock) and this trick helped me a lot.
now i do this all the times.

I have searched and searched and searched.....nothing seems to work.....
I was messing around with my phone (latest update and rooted). I was messing with rom toolbox and was trying to change the theme...
Bottom line, phone is stuck on the M screen (dual core screen)
I tried to do a hard reset but it didnt work... Just goes back to the same screen.
any ideas are greatly appreciated!!!!
Thank you in advance
Is your bootloader unlocked? Do you have CWM installed by any chance?...
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
nope neither
from what you've said it would appear that you've changed something whilst in rom toolbox and as such it won't boot up.
You say you've got the latest update and I am wondering if this means your bootloader is locked now? When did you update your phone? when you start up the phone are you able to get in recovery? (volume down when starting up).
Anything I could suggest is going to be full of dangers (sbf flash for one).
Barry, the phone was updated a few weeks ago. I believe it was running 2.3.6
Any thing that can be done like sbf i am willing to give a try....and yes i messed up in rom toolbox
Soft Bricked my phone
I did the same to my phone as well. I had updated my phone from neutrino 2.7 to 2.8 through CWM. When I booted up for the first time, it worked fine but when I did a factory reset through neutrino, it booted up and then got stuck on the boot screen.
The phone was unlocked and rooted but for some reason usb is not being recognized in the pc, CWM is not loading up and RSD lite wont recognize phone because it is not running Blur. I tried using various commands on fastboot and adb such as fastboot devices and adb device but I dont get anything back..the device seems to stuck in perpetual bootloop. I can get into fastboot and RSd but it is stuck on starting fastboot protocol suppor..
The one bright spot is that LED comes on when i plug in USB without battery meaning the phone is being charged by USB just not being recognized. I tried installing all the drivers and reinstalling them but I usually get a device error on computer which is a 64 bit Windows 7.
I think I am F#Cked..can somebody help me..
theoretically, since I can get into fastboot cant I just go to recovery and wipe the data and then install a update from the SD card?
I would just need to unlock the bootloader right?
it was running the 4.5.141 update.
I can get RSD to show up on the phone and it does connect to the computer.....
FastBoot does connect to the computer

why not give it a try? if it does not work, flash the 4.5.141 update via RSD Lite, if you get into bootloop, push clockwork recovery via fastboot, then boot into recovery wipe cache, wipe davlik cache, wipe data/factory reset, then reboot. if you really can't get it to work you can send it to me so I can try fix it, that is if you would trust me. Just pay for return shipping, you can use usps flat rate box with signature confirmation so you'll know i have received it. I have previously helped a guy in Dell Streak Forum and I have lots of positive feedback in XDA Market place, i just love helping other out, flashing ROMs and fixing broken/bricked phones. Just PM me if you are interested.
I have made progress!
I have managed to unlock the bootloader with the following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
I am still stuck on the same M screen still, it just says unlocked now.....
Where do I go from here?
Looks like all I need to do now is find a way to get the rom onto the sd card so that I can flash it with clock work recovery.....
I tried to mount my external 2 gig card and do it that way but it didnt work....
Any other ideas?
Hello, im coming from Defy to Atrix, mine is Brazilian 2.3.6 Retail, and just unlocked the bootloader using Bell SBF. After installing RomRacer CWM (recovery-atrix5.img) using the fastboot method, my phone went in a continuous bootloop. Fastboot mode shows me an error something like FAILED TO EXECUTE COMMAND %e (a0cccx) that repeats and scrolls down the screen in red lines. I have to pull battery to stop this. RSD mode reboots the phone. Android Recovery shows me "Entering Android Recovery Mode" and after that phone hangs. To have the things worse, battery drained down.
After charging the battery using an universal charger, phone started, but when Android loaded, it hanged everything. I had to pull the battery. After that, phone went in bootloop again. I got into fastboot, wiped everything. After that i was able to get into Android Recovery, wiped everything again and tried to start the system, no luck. It went in bootloop again and the message in fastboot mode came on again.
One more point is, when the battery in on the phone, the phone is getting really hot.
I was using the phone for about 5 hours before messing the whole thing up, if i have it working again, i will stick with original firmware. No more customizing on this Atrix as long as its really easy to hardbrick. Im afraid that i did this to mine.
Defy is almost impossible to hardbrick. And its bootloader is locked. I see no goodness on having a phone that is that easy to kill... Please help me................
look into flashing an sbf on your atrix. puts it back to stock firmware.
if youre only soft bricked this will fix it. or try going to android recovery ( if it still has the original) and do a factory data wipe.
hope i helped!
I recommend you to download again RomRacer CWM
enter fastboot mode and flash again CWM (in case your download is corrupt)
type "fastboot devices" Press Enter.
type "fastboot erase recovery" Press Enter.
type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img"
if this didnt fix it
perform a full fastboot wipe

and then try to reflash the recovery. if u cant fix it this way flash a sfb!
Well I got myself into it this time. I have a Rogers Canada XT910 razr. I installed the Arctic rom and lost all my data connection, and all my apps and could not reload them from google play because it says they are already installed. So I did a wipe and reset and decided to try to use RSD to reflash the ics leak. The flash failed, and my phone is bricked. What's guy to do.
Thanks
John

That's the leak you need I guess.
There's just one Problem. You need an patched Boot. Img and the system signed of the necessary GB Rom.
I've not searched this Thread for an boot. Img. Maybe someone posted one.
I'm not sure, if you can flash the European Fastboot Files, to get an working RazR, till there's an solution for you.

Thanks man. I had already side loaded the leak that you had linked to so I was on ics before I tried the arctic. I will try tonight to install the European version. I'll let you know how it goes.
Well I am at my wits end.
I eventually got my phone to reboot back into the Arctic rom I loaded, but can't figure out how to update this rom or load another. I have tried with RSD to flash a different flashboot files, but they all fail. I have down loaded a few different custom roms and loaded them on my sd card and tried updating my phone from external storage through the Android system recovery utility but action is always aborted. I can't load any apps like rom manager, file manager, or anything for that matter. When I go to the play store and look at my apps it says i already have them all installed and can't load any. What can I do?
Well I can't seem to leave well enough well enough. tried a few more things and now the phone won't boot. It gets to the Motorola logo and turns off. So can I can get to fastboot and recovery or off. Brutally expensive paper weight.
Can help

I bricked my Rogers RAZR too and was able to fix it. It's a matter of finding the correct signed img and flashing it using the fastboot (when starting phone press power and hold volume up if I remember correctly). Will check what the name of the image is and get back to you. I flashed three or so different images before it would finally boot, then I was able to re-root it, install CWM and get back on my feet.:good:
The rom I loaded is European from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1760702
I have been bricked before and fixed the issue, but after loading this custom rom the flash I used the first time with RSD does not work. I appreciate any help and I am willing to try what ever. I did not impress my wife with this one.
flash this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1634223.html
then reboot....it will work
Thanks I will try it after I get home from work today.
[TUTORIAL]
1. Download the empty_radio.img
2. Turn off the Razr
3. Power On the Razr and select Fastboot Mode AP
4. Open the command prompt CMD
5. Go to the folder where the radio is empty
6. Make flash the radio with the following command and then type "fastboot reboot"
7. Rest assured I tested on my Razr this command does not erase the radio
8. This command will only restart the fastboot
9. Now then turn off the Razr holding vol - and power
10. Plug the Razr holding vol + vol - and power and have it start normally
11. Now restart the fastboot screen will not show more ...
This stuff is over my head. I don't know how to do steps 4,5,6. I don't know what to do in command prompt, I can't find the folder where the radio is empty, and I don't know how to flash the radio. I am totally lost.
Does any body have any other Ideas?
Have you tried fastboot with rsd lite?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Yes I have tried flashing several different XML files from different ROM's With RSD lite 5.7. The flash always fails. In RSD it says that my phone is connected, but it does not show my IMEI it just has N/A in that box. When I hook up my wife's phone which is totally stock it does show her IMEI. Could this be part of the problem?
There's a TL;DR at the end !
Hi - I hope you will be able to help me !
I have a XT910 Motorola Razr from Rogers in Canada.
I've had a Nexus S for a long time and I guess I wasn't prepared for a phone that wasn't as friendly to modding and flashing.
Before trying to flash a version of CM10 found here in the forums, I installed CWM Touch and made a nandroid backup - standard stuff.
What I didn't realize until it was too late is that booting into recovery DOES NOT boot CWM Touch - but rather the regular android one - the one that does not allow you to do much other than to factory reset.
I found out about RSD Lite but not until my battery wasn't charged enough and couldn't do anything about the phone.
I searched for the longest time on a LOT on different forums about how I could fix this and resorted to getting a factory cable - which works.
So, now, I can flash stuff using fastboot. Great, right ? Well, I still can't get things working.
RSD Lite doesn't detect my phone, and I believe that's because ADB doesn't detect it as well - so I tried that alternative way to flash fastboot files provided by the eternity project.
I've tried various fastboot packages but to no avail.
The best I can do is to get past the motorola logo - then black screen. Otherwise, I get boot or flash failures and get sent back to fastboot.
When the phone is on the black screen and that I plug a USB cable to my phone, Windows sees the device but it doesn't recognize it - I assure you I've tried all the different drivers to try and get it to work. Nothing.
Worth mentioning - I often get errors "Preflash validation failure" when trying to flash stuff.
I really feel I could fix this issue by flashing an IMG version of CWM touch or some other sort of recovery so that I can recover using a nandroid but they are no where to be found ! I can't believe that all recovery options are installed by APKs.
Any ideas ?
TL;DR, XT910 went boot looping after trying to flash CM10 - resorted to getting a factory cable and even then, can't get the phone back into working condition. Phone is detected by fastboot but not ADB.
Thanks !
first... the battery is the problem

How to Boot your Phone on Low Battery with Fastboot Flash Failure
To boot your phone on low battery where you get stuck on fastboot flash failure, hold down Volume Up and Volume Down then plug in “AC” USB charger to your Droid Razr. This will give you the bootloader menu upon where you can choose “Normal Recovery” to boot. If your phone doesn’t boot here, it will at least re-charge the battery normally instead of being stuck on fastboot flash failure which will re-charge your phone “very very slowly”.
So I bought myself an Atrix last night, its completely mint. Except the phone is bricked.
I've done basic flashing on my Samsung Nexus i9250 and on other LG's and HTC's so I understand the surface level stuff.
Now, the Atrix powers on and hangs on the Motorola Logo says "UNLOCKED" in the top left corner, (I'm assuming bootloader is unlocked)
And I get a modem did not power up (0) shortly after it hangs for a while.
I've read on another thread that this is a hardware issue and it can't be fixed via flashing.
I'm hoping that's not entirely the case, the only thing I can do is boot into Android (no BP), and it restarts after a minute or so.
And I can boot into recovery, this phone has TWRP, which I did not put on, and am not used to.
Anyway I've been trying to revert to a stock rom, (assuming bell because I'm in canada) but I can't get my fastboot to go.
It just stays on "starting fastboot protocol" and RSDlite doesn't recognize it. (battery at full charge)
That is about the jist of it.
I'd like to see if a stock rom, recovery and radio image will get this guy up and going again.
Hopefully I can switch TWRP for CWM, or back to stock with fastboot and RSDlite, I don't totally know the process.
Thanks for any and all help in advance
I've got CWM now,
I think I maybe having a hardware issue.
Everytime I try to flash radio's through CWM or RSD, I get some sort of failure.
I can flash radio's through fastboot but it doesn't seem to help my situation.
Currently I'm flashing with RSD, first time around my device was an NS Flash Olympus and it failed at writing BP.
Now its an SE flash Olympus And I'm trying the same SBF.
It seems to fail when it switches to BP Pass through mode.
:/
Edit: In RSD everything is N/A
I can boot into Android on the no BP setting.
And flick threw a few menu's then the phone would die.
Baseband is unknown, I managed to get there in settings.
Anyone have any idea as to what is wrong here?
I'd like to know if I'm SOL so I can let the atrix gather some dust on the shelf.
Yep, it sounds like somwthing is messed up on the modem Hardware
