RSD vs Fastboot - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im trying to root my Atrix running 2.3.6 with the latest firmware. Whenever i attempt to fastboot the only thing that shows up is "starting rsd protocol support". No matter how long i hold the buttons this is the only thing that shows. Can someone help me? Is that the same as fastbooting or am I doing something wrong?

To get into fastboot, hold power and volume down then release. when it says rsd, press volume down till fastboot shows then volume up to select.

The instructions are a bit unclear. You have to hold down Vol-, then hit power, and then CONTINUE HOLDING Vol- until you see a menu. Then use Vol- to find Fastboot and Vol+ to confirm.

This should work. I had constant reboot cycle. To get into RSD I had to time holding the volume up button for when the reboot cycle started, before the green LED came on so that I could get to RSD. If you press the volume button at the wrong time it will reboot again.
could it be that you flashed a SBF to a ME860 and not a MB860?

Hey bor , you mean if I hold the volume up before the "Green LED " show up
I could get to the RSD mode ?? "Starting RSD protorcal....."
but I have been tried many many time ... no matter when I hold the volume up button ... It still reboot again and again ... ><
I think the problem is that Atrix "can not " get into RSD mode before it reboot ...
so that Atrix "can not" flash another SBF from computer ...
Does anyone have any idea for this problem ??

power device off. hold vol down & power button it will load into fast boot use vol down key to you see android recovery press vol up to enter. Now to will see an andriod with an exclamation point press and the bottom right (its hiddin on top on the search key)
of the screen to bring up options and then vol to wipe data/factory reset and press the ok button to select.

Pull the battery, put it in, hold volume down, power on and continue holding volume down until you see Fastboot on the screen. Then you can go into RSD and then you should be able to use RSDLite to flash.

Try holding volume down instead of up. If that doesn't work try it with the power button. Then you can get back to RSD protocol and flash the correct sbf to get you back working.

How to fix atrix after putting android 2.3.4 on it??

pr
I would probably say you might have to do a fresh flash of 2.2.1, but the good thing is your phone will still be unlocked.
Pull the battery.
Before you put the battery back in, hold down the volume down button. Then, while still holding down the volume down button hit the power button. That will get you the fastboot prompt. You then just have to keep hitting down to get to RSD so you can reflash the 1.8.3 SBF.

That is incorrect. In order to get into RSD you have to press [volume up] and [power]. Let go of [power] when the screen turns on but keep [volume up] pressed. The screen will say something like [starting rsd protocol support] after a few seconds

Think you are thinking of recovery.
RSD Boot is vol up + power button.
Recovery is vol down and scroll.

You can get to it from down too. You just have to scroll through options until you hit RSD, then hit volume up. I totally forgot about the volume up + power to go directly to RSD support. Been doing to much CWM lately!

[Q] Droid RAZR Stuck...

I can't flash my rooted Droid RAZR because the phone goes on and off... I am trying to flash it before I send it over to Verizon... I don't know how to fix it! The phone's power button is slightly jammed or broken... I am not too sure. It just doesn't work... I don't know what to do... Fastboot isn't consistent some reason.... Any advice???

Do you know how to access Ap Fastboot menu?
power + vol up + vol down for 8s.

cheers

I do that but it doesn't go immediately to the next part after selecting Ap Fastboot. Then once I get it there, I try to use RSDlite and flash it, but then the phone will turn itself off or it some reason just blacks out for a while, then comes back on. When that happens, sometimes it goes a little further in the flashing, but usually stops. There's 18 steps and I usually get stuck at the 2nd step, sometimes at 5th, and 12th. Because it has tried to flash and stopped at those random steps, I can't turn the phone on anymore. Can only access the black and white menu...
I'm not sure, but i think that's because you don't have enough battery to flash it.

Cannot boot into fastboot and get a boot animation loop. Anything to do?

Hello guys.
I installed CyanogenMod 7 but I forgot to wipe cache and dalvik cache (I guess that's what caused the problem). Now I get a loop in the cyanogen boot animation. I cannot go into fastboot (by pressing power on + vol down) nor RSD mode. Is there anything I could try to save my phone? (Atrix 4g; I installed this ROM atrix-dev-team - Development of CyanogenMod & other fun stuff for the Motorola Atrix - Google Project Hosting )
Thank you so much.
Wrong forum. Should be in Q&A!
You tried Vol - with power button?

He already said he can't get into fastboot like that.
OP you sure you can't get into fastboot or recovery? Are you trying to do it when bootlooping? Try pulling battery, then replacing it. Hold volume down, press power button and then let it go keeping volume down pressed. Or try the same but press volume up to go right to fastboot.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Hello guys. Yes, I have tried that, many times. I have pulled the battery several times, recharge it completely, things like that.
But, it still gets stuck in the "Unlocked Fastboot" screen or bootlooping in the cyanogen splash screen.
Any other ideas? Thank you so much.
Nevermind!
So you get the Fastboot unlocked message. And? Thats pretty much all you see on fastboot. Does the PC not talk to it at that point? Does it show "Starting Fastboot protocol support" after tapping volume up?
Are you instead trying to boot into recovery? Hold volume down and press power on to start. When the fastboot message appeares, release volume down, then tap volume down until you see Android recovery, then press volume up.
Thank you Genomerio. I was able to do an Android Recovery... I didn't know there were more options than Fastboot and RSD. I restore my previous backup and all is working now.
Thank you so much...

[Q] Recovery Menu

Hi All.
I might be missing the obvious here but how do you get into recovery on these things?
I've read loads of posts and tried various combinations with Vol+/- and Power, Wait for the light then do the same..... Nothing!!
I've put root on it it but left the bootloader looked. The device says I can unlock it if I want. It's the 16GB Wifi model (UK)
Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
Thanks

Maybe you;re mixing the fastboot method and cwm method on your head..
if you're question is how will you get to recovery then my answer is VOL UP.
power on your xtz and when the "SONY" shows up simply spam the vol up and you're good :good:

Thanks for the reply. If I'm reading what you put right, it's:
Hold Vol up
Press Power
Wait for Sony logo then ? Not sure what you meant by "when the "SONY" shows up simply spam the vol up"

Haha, Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
I'm laughing because I still haven't got a clue what SPAM VOLUME means so I'm going to go for HOLD VOLUME.

LOL, I even ended up on the Urban Dictionary... I'm thinking..Oh no, it's one of those young people phrases again!!
Thanks again for the help though, I'll get that dual recovery installed I think. I'm not even planning on flashing it. I just want a good backup.
Hello Zach181,
have succeeded in holding the vol up ?
I have the same trouble and can't access the recovery mode.
press power on
wait for the sony logo to appear
hold the vol up button
but nothing happens, it boots in the normal way.
thanks
Let's try to make it clear.
The device does not come from factory with any button combination that can get you into any recovery.
You need to flash a custom recovery first.
The process for "XZDualRecovery" is to wait a second after the sony logo appears and then when the notification light turns green hold Volume Up for CWM, Volume Down for TWRP.
Might be different for other recoveries, but at least try this method.
Let me clear it too...
its NOT HOLD
but SPAM or KEEP PRESSING
:good::good::good:

What works for me is HOLD the correct volume button, but not from the start, but from the time the LED turns green.

I must admit that I have put it in fastboot but only if holding from the power on and not pressing repeatedly. I've been too engrossed with my new toy to try much but I will sort recovery today.
So what we are saying is...
No recovery Installed
Power and hold Vol up = Fastboot
Recovery Installed
Power (Wait for light) Vol up = CWM ---- Vol Down = The other one (Forgot the name)
That still leaves us with fastboot mode with recovery. Would that be as I said at the beginning of this post... Power on and hold Vol Up straight away (Don't wait for the light)
