Hi,
My problem is somewhat similar to many posts.
The fastboot is not working.
Here is the issue:
I have rooted the phone.
Removed the SD card w/o unmounting.
Some of the apps turned out to be not working.
I decided to restart the phone.
It seemed to be doing so but repeatedly cycled after "Rethink Possible" having passed the M logo.
After numerous cycling, now the phone is starting but stuck ad red M logo "Dual Core Technology" screen.
Trying to enter into the fastboot mode via volume down (or even up) and turning on simply do not give any effect.
Interesting enough, I have also the Motorola Factory Cable and that does not heal my problems either; the computer simply does not recognize (though all my drivers are intact) the phone in RSD...
So the most obvious question to one I guess is: "Is this piece of technological advancement now a scrap?"
Thanks,
have you try this.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871

hi mate,
thanks for the prompt response, i appreciate.
this thread is giving instructions for a phone that is capable of going into the fastboot mode.
however, my case is somewhat tricky i guess; the phone stays still at red M dual core technology screen despite my attempt to power up via holding volume down button.
any further suggestions?
thanks,

Make sure you have root, install Quick Boot from the market. Open Quick Boot, click on the Bootloader reboot option.

hi xploited,
good advice but there is a small problem here
the phone does not turn on but stuck at red M logo dual core technology screen nor goes into fastboot mode.
i feel it is lost somewhere in the bermuda triangle or neo of matrix between the real world and the machine world...
so, the situation is simple as it can be; turning on attempt sticks at M logo or fastboot attempt sticks at red M logo... both show the same door...
i hope i was able to better clarify the status this time
what do you say?

Something definitely got screwed up in your land
What's your current setup? OTA 2.3.4? And you have flashed pudding already? An SBF flash would fully restore your system partitions to default. But if you have updated to official 2.3.4, you can't sbf 2.2.2 cause the phone will hard brick.
I would do a full sbf of 2.3.4 with pudding included. If you flashed pudding already this should be safe. If you haven't flashed pudding yet, you need second thoughts on this.

This might be obvious, but... have you tried official hard reset instructions? -
If that doesn't work, or if your phone is frozen:
Turn the power off. If your Motorola ATRIX 4G is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
Press and hold the Power and Camera buttons
Release the Camera button when prompted
Press and hold the Volume Down key
A yellow exclamation will appear on the display
Select Factory Reset and press OK

with all due respect, i don't wanna sound idiot but if my eyes do not play any game to me, there is no camera button on atrix
is it possible that this hard reset script is for milestone?

Crap! My bad, the article I found provided false information and I copied it without reading through it.
Have you tried doing a battery pull though?

yes... maybe all possible way outs... all failed...
i guess the only solution for me is to somehow force the pc and the phone to speak...
i am not sure if that is still possible, but there could be a physical alternative, i.e. test point, etc. like the old phones...
i am sure there is a definitive cure to this problem but i am still seeking for

Alright man, good luck. Unfortunately, this is beyond my knowledge.
You might wanna PM one of the devs and ask if they know how to fix this (kholk, sam, faux, etc.)

Have you tried holding down both the the volume up and volume down buttons at the same time and then powering up?

it's very odd... could potentially be the hardware (volume buttons) are broken...
Take the Battery our and leave it out for a while. Leave it unplugged and power it back up while holding either up or down to see if you get a result. If not then it sounds like your volume rocker is fubared. No matter what you should be able to get into fastboot or rsd. The only instance that i have seen where the phone is dead is going back to an older build after ota gb, even then it gives an error.
Hi, I've had my new atrix for about two weeks. I've rooted and unlocked it. I was wondering if there was a way to get rid of the unlocked screen at boot. It lengthens my boot time and just plain. Any help is much appreciated.

I don't believe the boot logo lengthens your boot time, however if you're worried about boot time, then you can disable the boot animation by editing the build prop (system/build.prop) and change this value
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
if it's plainness you're worried about then you can check out my tutorial on making and changing your boot logo

Thank you so much for this. What I mean is since I unlocked the bootloader it seems to stick on the stupid red M longer, and in the upper left hand side it says unlocked. But the M is boring so i'm going change it to something else, maybe droid killing apple . Again, thank you!

You know, now that I think about it, it did seem longer after I unlocked lol maybe you're right anyways, anytime
I have unlocked the bootloader before with the instructions in XDA. However, the booting screen is quite ugly that many letters on the screen. I have seen that some guys got an unlocked Atrix with a red logo "M" at the middle and "unlock" on the top left hand corner. What makes the different and how can I unlock my Atrix with less words on screen?
Sorry for my bad English and my Atrix is HKTW version.
Sounds like your boot logo was deleted. Search for logo.bin in the Themes section and it will fix you right up.
Sorry for my bad language... What I want to describe is that, there will be two different displays after unlock bootloader by two different method. One is cleaner and one is quite messy. Just like the attached photos. What means the different and how can I unlock my bootloader with the output of and red "M" in the middle and unlock on the top left hand corner?? Thx...

What he said
Check the unlock Bootloader YouTube videos. One of them I remember was a four part video where the guy appeared to have the same issue as you and the video even explains how he fixed it...

I'm rooted (w/ an unlocked bootloader) but the Google splash screen doesnt show it.. kinda odd, anyone else notice this? I'm running LRX21L.
I noticed it too and i like it. Clean interface upon logon now.
Probably or its because its using HTC's bootloader
Anyone have an N5 or N7 that's running LP w/ an unlocked bootloader?? I'm wondering if it's an N9 bug or intentional.
Yeah, but when you relock it, it flashes "This is a development device not intended for production use" in big fat red letters at the top of the screen on boot. I've got to return mine for warranty... we'll see how that goes. I guess it does have a tamper bit.

I can confirm it was because of the HTC bootloader. The symbol is available on my Nexus 6

The unlocked lock shows up on the N5 during boot.
OK.. Thanks everyone.. Seems like it's just the Nexus 9.. I'm unsubscribing.. (The moderator can lock this thread if they lock Q&A's.)
So what is Bump? I understand its a "bootloader workaround", but i just dont see how it works? If you were to boot into the bootloader, would it say ***UNLOCKED*** or ***LOCKED***? I really don't get it, how do you simply bypass it? lol, is it worse than a full unlock? If so, then how? Someone explain this to me, I cannot find anything on Google and the lack of information is driving me insane considering I'm going to be doing this tomorrow and usually know exactly what I'm getting into.
To rant on a bit more....I really just don't understand it, I'm big on my personal thought of how my phone is so the potential of it being "LOCKED" still really disturbs me for unknown reasons. But I realize that isn't really the important thing, still just wanna know what it is. I also don't understand how you can do things and still have a locked bootloader to begin with, so if someone could explain that to me (in the case its still locked), that would be fantabatastical!

Since LG and Verizon both lock their bootloaders there is no "Official" way to unlock the bootloader. You can't even boot to bootloader. There is just no such thing. Bump is a work around to get TWRP installed without unlocking the bootloader.

I found the thread for the devs and now I understand it, basically allows you to sign images that the BL will allow, so its pretty much just as good as a BL unlock. Neat!
