Atrix stopped working - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I having big problem on my Atrix. Out of nowhere he stopped working, I've tried everything - taking out the battery (which had 40% when it happened), sim card, connecting to original wall charger. Nothing. I'm pressing the power on button and it doesn't turn on.
:crying:
If anybody have any idea, I begging you to help me.
Thank you and good day.
P.S. I forgot to mention that the phone is with me only a month, worked perfectly

Hello again,
I would like to add something that I noticed about the phone and maybe someone could use it to get ahold of the problem. Every now and then (few hours mostly but sometimes minutes) the phone turn on, get past the boot sequence but then get stuck and shut off again.
Last time I connected the phone to the pc, the pc recognize that there is a device but not past MOT ADB device to the MB860 like it did before. This time it got stuck in the "UNLOCKED" screen and shut off again.
I will be hugely thankful for someone who can point to the problem and even find way to fix the problem.

Did you install any custom rom?

[Q] Bricked phone after power off

Well this is fun. My phone had been running for a week without me installing or updating anything on it. Then today I was starting to get a few "android force close" messages on the phone so I decided to re-start it. I turned it off the regular way, but when I tried to turn it on again nothing happened. So I waited a while and tried again. Still nothing. So I decided to wait some more. After a while I noticed that the phone was starting to get very hot, and it still wouldn't turn on. So now I really don't know what to do. I could do a reflash but I don't have any recent backups so I really don't want to. Does anybody have any other suggestions?
Do you have battery? When batteries get near zero they start heating

Pull the sim and start it up without, these phones have a habit of weird behavior related to the sim card. If that helps, see what happens with an alternative sim. If no luck there I'd try a firmware repair.
It happen to me twice. My x10 mini pro only vibrate when I turn it on but it doesn't start. The first time it happens only 3 days after I buy it. I resolve it by taking it to se service center. They re flash the firmware. A week later it happens again. But after some googling, I found I can do the firmware reinstall by myself. You can use sony ericsson "update service" which can downloaded from support area on sonyericsson.com

I gave up trying to find a solution that doesn't invlove a reflash so I bit the bullet and started the process. For some reason my pc failed to download the new firmware and that somehow resulted in the phone powering back on by itself.
It works now. Yay

Phone not working properly, auto off, not able to switch on crashing many time

I am having P500 for a year and tried so many experiments on it, 2 times I got changed my PCB from LG Service but from yesterday I am facing a very different problem.
I was using cynogenmod Android 2.3.7, I notice that my phone is switched off, when I tried to ON it it comes to LG logo screen and switched off again.
After long time my phone booted successfully but unfortunately it switched off again automatically after 3-4 mins. I am unable to do anything on it.
So I finally decided to boot into recovery console and re flashing rom, but I am not able to boot in recovery also it comes into recovery and after 2-3 clicks it will restart, restart and restart again.
I notice that sometimes it automatically comes me to "Emergency mode screen"
I finally decided to Flash it using KDZ updater, I prepare and start flashing using KDZ updater in emergency mode, (Going back to stock ROM).
I flashed it successfully and phone restarted, but the problem is same, phone still having same issue, sometimes it switch off automatically while playing game, and wont be switching on, going to emergency mode etc. I have to pull battery many times to get it on.
It was working fine from last night, I open an application and it crashed again and not switching on, after 20-30 times of pressing button and pulled out and inserted battery 5-10 times it switched on and working since 2hrs.
Phone is working as normal but I don't understand that why it act like this?
Android Version: 2.3.3 (Stock LG ROM)
Built Number: GRI40
Software Version: LG-P500-V20c
Please help if there is any solution, I don't what to move LG service centre, they can't do anything just changing the hole hardware PCB.
Also I am regular visitor of XDA Forum and used it since a year, this is my First Post here, I seems there are lots of problem solved on this board lets see, if anyone can help me.
Try to change the battery with a new one or if you have a friend with an LG P500 phone ask him to give you his battery to see if it's battery fault, if it's so you have to buy a new battery. Also leave everything stock, and no Overclocking.

Yea, it is working fine since yesterday, i also removed some applications and games, let it test for more couple of days.

Phone randomly freezes

Hello everyone!
A few weeks ago my phone started freezing randomly when navigating through menus, when turning on the screen or just during stand by. It reboots almost every night and I find it in the morning in the "enter pin" screen. I have been using the Omega Rom series for a long time, and I was using v38 when this began to happen, but by that time I had already been with the same ROM for a long time with absolutely no problem. Yesterday I updated to v39 and the phone is totally unstable, it freezes every 5 minutes and I have to remove the battery.
How can I know if this comes from a hardware or a software problem? Is there any way to log what the phone does so I can check what goes on by the time it freezes?
Thank you very much.

you could try to do a logcat report.
did you try different kernels?
Yes I did, I tried the stock kernel and Siyah too, but I get the same problem. Any other recommendation?
I will get started with the logcat thing, I hope I can find something. Thank you!
My droid4 kep doing the same exact thing when I attempted to listen to my music player, and I ended up finding trojan and I didn't find it with any of the AntiVirus' that you find on Android I ended up finding it with pandas usb vaccine when I plug the phone in to the laptops usb port.. And it doesn't do it at all anymore
I tried 3 AntiVirus ' from Google, AVG + lookout+ .AND avast..!!! Nothing picked it up. :banghead:

if it is not the kernel, I would try to setup the phone from scratch with first, a stock Samsung rom, see how it goes, and if anything is ok, flash a custom rom and test again.
Usually, for me, I do not stop with just a factory reset but use a "mega" wipe to delete (not format) anything related on the phone even if some think this is not necessary.

Hi.
I've been having similar issues for over a week now. And have removed some programs and setting trying to find the cause. Eventually what has prevented freezing is when I turn the screen power saving in power saving settings on. I'm thinking the GPU might be somehow damaged or something.
I have only installed the official updates to the phone. Currently I'm at 4.1.2 NEE.
Ive been using custom roms for ages but got fed up with apps and certain not working so I wiped everything and installed stock ics via odin, I then upgraded all the way up to 4.1.2 via the Samsung upgrade utility but....... now my phone freezes sometimes ive never had this before. ...? Im on ella btu

I have been doing further investigation and I've seen that it is not that the phone freezes, it is just that you cannot have any interaction at all with it. The screen is blocked, the buttons do not respond and the phone does not make any sound, but I know it is alive! I know it because whenever an app is doing something, after restarting the phone by pulling out the battery I see that that process has been completed or if I dial my own number from another phone I get tone, although the phone appears to be completely dead...
Does this situation have a name and a specific solution...?

[SOLVED] HOX+ tragic death?

Hey guys, I have a really big problem here and I thought some of you might know what I could do. Search didn't find me anything.
So here's the situation: I've been running a rooted HOX+ for approx. 5 months now, mostly AOKP (shoutout to maxwen awesome ROM).
About a week ago, I installed ViperX+ and the EliteKernel OXP. Running fine, up to saturday evening. I was running low on battery, plugged the phone in last second. However, it shut down immediately afterwards (downanimation was shown though, so it didn't crash). Now it won't charge at all. The LED isn't even blinking :crying:
I tried plugging it in to various power supplies, also it can't be the cable (tried switchin' those too and it works on other phones). Plugging into PC doesn't work either.
I have no idea what to do or where this came from. I really hope somebody has an idea what this could be and how to solve it since i really don't want to lose my data and send it back to fix it (would that even be covered by warranty )
Appreciate your help and also, if this isn't in the right forum here, sorry mods and please move :angel:
EDIT: Mods please close

Try to just let it plugged in for a couple of hours and then keep pressing the power button for 20-30sec and it should boot up again..
Hope that ends up working for you!

TWRP (2.4.1.0 i think).

I dont think this will help you, but you could open up the device and then disconnect the battery. It is a 1s lipo, so you can charge it with a lipo charger that supports 1s lipos (maybe at your local hobby store) Then you solder it together again and you would be able to flash another Rom and Kernel. I know that this is Risky, but i think that this case is not covered by your guarantee.

Send it back for warranty. HTC wont even know you rooted it and chances are if they do, they wont even care they will just replace it. Thats what happend with my HTC One S
Ok guys, sorry for the fuss.
IT WAS THE MICRO-USB PORT! :banghead:
I stabbed around a bit and cleaned it. BAM! It works. Yaay!

[Q] 100% stock, bootloop.

Hey everybody, longtime lurker. Going to make this short and sweet for anybody willing to give their insight. I have a 100% stock, never rooted (never even tinkered with) DNA that I bought from Verizon. I've had it for under a year. Today at work I felt it vibrating constantly in my pocket, after a while I took it out to see what the heck was going on and it was just bootlooping at the HTC screen. It is currently stuck like this until it drains the battery, then just starts up again once I plug it in. I've tried searching but it appears most issues are with people who have rooted their phones and are trying to flash back to stock because of issues. Any help would be appreciated. Going to try and call Verizon tomorrow. Also, I tried to boot to recovery, it worked once. And seems to not work anymore for some odd reason.
Only thing I can tell you is try to factory reset and if that does not help try to ruu it. You can find the ruu file if you just search the forum... You will probably lose all of your data though.

Defective, get replacement.
Try, while boot looping, to plug in and save any files you can...
Thanks for the reply's. After letting it charge basically for almost 15 hours, I woke up this morning to see the green charging light which gave me a little bit of hope. I went to turn it on but it just went straight back to bootlooping Calling Verizon soon, hopefully they aren't a pain in the ass to deal with...
