[Q] Atrix boots up and reboots after flashing custom ROMs - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried flashing my Atrix (MB861) with several custom ROMs (latest MIUI, AOKP[JB] and CNA 3.6[JB]).
Installation goes smooth and phone boots up. Everything works, menus, apps and etc.
But after 1-2 minutes system automatically reboots.
Anybody have any ideas or same issues?

Hi, what recovery are you using and have you carried out a full wipe?

Using CWM recovery 5.0.2.0
and yes, doing full wipe before flashing.
Every of mentioned roms restarting in about 1-3 minutes

Try TWRP Recovery it might sort your issue out. I had similar issues and after flashing TWRP I could flash fine only problem is not all ROM's are flashable. You can always go back to CWM's if need be. I tend to switch between the two

get around atrix boot loop

yes you will have either go into recovery mode by holding down the "down volume" and the power button on start up and then pressing the down button till you get to "android recovery" and pressing up on the volume button and then install "fullwipe.zip" and then the rom ".zip" of your choice... or if recovery doesn't work then you will have to flash recovery onto your phone via fastboot.

I have the similar problem on my atrix 4G att version. since yesterday I have flashed several roms including stock fruitcakes and I get reboots after phone boots up it stays for min or so and reboots. what I noticed is in all roms that I tried since yesterday when checking in Settings>about it shows baseband unknown. I suspect baseband is causing problem. question is why baseband is missing in every rom? I never had this problem. do I have to install baseband to fix this issue?
thanks

If you have issues with baseband aka radio, installing ROMs won't fix it since radio is never a part of any ROM (except stock SBFs). You might try flashing another radio (or the same, sometimes that helps too).

just installed baseband and my problems gone. would full wipe delete baseband too? why I lost it this time when I was doing exact same steps before and never lost baseband?

I don't know what you mean by full wipe. It might, or it might not.

i think he means wiping /data, /cache and dalvik chaches

Full wipe means you do a wipe cache, wipe dalvik and wipe data in CWM.

so, where can i get that baseband???

I have the same issue, and have tried installing a few basebands.
It is a Bell phone, with a Bell ROM. I tried a bell, at&t, Orange France, UK baseband. Still no joy.
Any other baseband I can try?

[Q] Experiencing random reboots

After sometime my cell phone is rebooting all times.
If it goes idle and I press the button to wake it, it reboots.
I've used some custom roms including CM7.
After I restored to my original firmware which is Claro Brazil, it keeps rebooting all time .
Anyone know what can I do? I even sent it to motorola and they don't do a thing. All they say is that it don't have any defect .
Thank you
Jayson
Did it start rebooting after you after you restored to the original firmware,
or did you restore to the original firmware to try to fix the reboots?:

I've flashed that build of ICS of dev thread and it seems to be rebooting less times.
How did you flash the rom?
Are you using romracers recovery?
Did you do a full wipe before flashing the rom?
You might make sure you have romracers latest recovery,
and then run this script for a full wipe:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421261&highlight=moto-fastboot+script
and then load a new rom and see if that fixes it.
You can also flash the Kernel and the radio too.

First I installed IHOP_Bell.sbf with sbf_flash to be able to unlock with moto-fastboot. After that did install CWM.
All my roms are installed with CWM with its cache/data and stuff wipe.
How can I know the right kernel and radio for me?
Same for me. I think this is a radio issue, where can we find lastest radio? Do we need to flash it like rom via RR CWM?
Thanks.
I get random reboots all the time. I was thinking it was a problem with wireless or bluetooth... Last time it rebooted was this morning, I docked it before going to bed, and 5 minutes later i hear the double-ding of it mounting internal storage at boot. At the time it wasn't running anything but the dock-widget clock.
I've had it reboot while on the bus listening to music with the phone in my pocket, I've had it reboot while docked and sitting idle, but youtube and flash are the real killers while actually using the phone, for me at least.
I find it reboots less if I leave wireless and bluetooth off, but what is the good in that?
I've had the random reboots probably since I upgraded to gingerbread, but even moreso after Bell 2.3.6 OTA.
I wonder if there is a way to prevent it from rebooting, so we can see what actually causes it to spontaneously reboot.
Im getting random reboots too, but figured it was from the build of CM7 i'm running (23-Nov. Was thinking of doing a full wipe then reload sometime this week. will report my results.
Hi!
Same thing happened to me. What I did was, I flashed to a different radio for it to be fixed. The stock doesn't seem to work on mine and I can't have signal reception.

I'm also getting reboots when I'm not on wifi.... Sometimes takes 15 mins once I'm not on wifi using 2.3.6 bell with latest radio.

I previously had N_01.95.00R wich seems to be an Asian Radio that probably (hopefully) doesn't work properly here.
I will tell you if it will fix the problem.
Hi there,
I also have random reboots on my Atrix.
Till now, I tried to change rom, recovery, reset data factory, use no apps, etc. But it never worked, and the reboots are still happening without any logical explanation.
I'm also thinking about a Radio problem, mine is : N_01.100.00R
I'll try changing it this evening, maybe it will fix things.
I'm trying a new radio too.
It didn't reboot yet.

Just had my second reboot in 5 minutes with N_01.100.00R...
Basically, it happens only in 3G and never in 2G, so I really think this is a radio issue, but I can't find alternatives...

Can't flash a working rom back to my Amaze

Hi guys. So here's my problem. I recently tried to update my phone to the latest version of NRG's Energy Rom using CWM. In the process I did a factory data wipe, and wiped the dalvik cache. I then flashed the rom as normal, but when I rebooted all I got was the white screen with the green HTC logo. It refuses to go any further. I can still get into recovery if needed, and I've tried a ton of different things, but to no avail. Anybody have any ideas as to what I need to do or is this thing hosed?
The phone is S-ON at the moment with an unlocked bootloader.
Any help is appreciated.

Flash the wipe script, flash the rom you wanted, when the phone boots up, let it sit for a few minutes, like 10 should be good.
Well I'll be damned. I could have sworn I tried that, but there we go. Thank you so much for the help.

Also, get rid of CWM and use 4ext recovery. It's in the dev section... And its the preferred recovery by most amaze users. I have a thread in Dev section
It allows you to flash kernel automatically when flashing ROM, that way you don't have to use a kernel flasher. Plus many other features.

Thanks for the info. I've been looking at recent posts and it seems I'm behind on a few things, including getting s-off.
Weird Problem
I had the same problem but I don't want to lock and re-unlock my bootloader. And this has never happened but my CWM Recovery isn't working. I didn't use 4ext bc this happened last time with that recovery. Is there any way to find the wipe script to use it from fastboot?
Tried kernel flashing; re-flashing recovery...second time this happened with s-on on speed rom
Had to re-wipe phone and re-flash everything...Got it working again! Weird problem though?!?!

Freezing on Me At All Times

Pretty much copy and paste, but I have updated it with latest info.
geokilla said:
So this is weird... In four days, the ROM or phone has froze on me about half a dozen times now. The first time when I was setting it up by as I had just done a flash of the ROM. While setting it up, the phone decided to suddenly slow down all of a sudden to a crawl, up to the point where everything started to get washed out and freeze on me. Force restart by holding Volume Up + Power was the only solution to fix it. Just now, my sister had it connected to her computer and was transferring music over into the internal SD when suddenly, the same thing happened. Again, only solution was to force restart. Anyone have this happen to them before? Everything is completely stock except that we're on Dorimanx 5.3 kernel. Then the other times, it would either slow down and freeze in the CWM Recovery Menu, or when she is texting, playing games, etc. There aren't that many apps installed at all. Reflash of kernel doesn't solve the problem.

Could it be that I need to flash the phone with official ICS + bootloader + PIT? I jumped straight from stock Gingerbread to custom ICS.

try doing a wipe data/factory reset as that is normally a fix to these kind of problems. Also clear cache and dalvik and that should fix the problem!

Do not use the .pit file unless you understand 100%sure about what you are doing. That's probably the easiest way to bork your device.
Edit: try flashing a different kernel. Try dark knight or fluxi. I think it would solve your issues

I would get an official rom, and flash it with odin, (no repartition is required) then install your fav. custom rom

I can't wipe data/factory reset in CWM for some reason when I first tried to install the custom ROM. Never tried again... I wonder if it's because my I9100 is brickable.
I have cleared cache and dalvik cache but no luck. It even slowed down and froze in CWM Recovery.

I know what I'm doing. Flashed with PIT many times before on my Captivate. Haven't tried PIT on her I9100 though. I haven't broken my phone with PIT yet, even though there's quite a few PITs out there lol.
I've read of others running the same combo as me, but they're fine so I wonder what else could cause this...

The ICS ROM from the Q&A Sticky should work right? Her I9100 is brickable so.... Gotta be careful.

format cache/data/system , then make all wipes , then put your phone in download mode , flash a stock ROM from samfirmware.com , then root your phone !
Running the latest Dorimanx 5.5 kernel and still getting the same problem. In fact, I noticed that if you set it to Performance under Kernel Tweaks in Recovery, the problem is more apparent. Setting it to default causes the issue too.

[Q] Borked Radio Help

I am pretty sure that I have a borked radio. I was running a "pre-flicker fix" Avatar ROM and upgraded to the 10-22 CM nightly. It worked great for about 4 hours and then lost the ability to send texts or make calls. I am trying to work my way through the steps to fix a messed up radio. I downgraded TWRP to 2.3.3 so I could apply the stock ROM, but the stock ROM hangs on the boot screen. I did apply the correct boot.img.
What am I missing?

Ok, so I am getting close to having a fully functional phone. I got it working, but it was all luck. (note: I tried each of these steps before, just not in this exact order)
a. I installed a TWRP backup of my Avatar ROM
b. flashed the appropriate boot.img
c. then flashed the Avatar ROM and gapps over the top of the backup.
It is functioning, but I am unable to access the internal storage. In ES Explorer, I can get to "/external_sd/"(which contains files) and "/mnt/sdcard"(which is empty) but if I try to click on the sd card icon it says "SD Card empty, unmounted or not present. I am unable to save screenshots and pictures because of this. This could stem from the SD swap I did.
Now that I have the radio working, I think I want to just start over with the device, without the sd storage, some of the apps are not working correctly. The factory reset I did blasted a lot of stuff. Also my download speeds are VERY slow... it says 4G but I don't believe it. Does anyone have a link to a good walk through on completely starting from scratch on a phone? What is the most stable CM ROM that does not have screen flicker?
thanks for the help guys
I had this exact same issue with 10/22. The radio died, and in the process of trying to fix it, the internal sd disappeared.
I ended up doing a full RUU following the steps at unlimited.io (ignoring the chmod step and the sudo parts of the commands since I'm in Windows). Then, HTCDev unlocking again, installing TWRP and Viper. Now, it seems to be working okay.
I'm having bad luck flashing the CM nightlies lately, not sure if it's just my phone, but I had the same issue even with the 10/18 experimental build.
I did end up getting it going. I built off of what I did in my previous post. I have to format the phone's data partition (mounded via TWRP) to get it to go.

[Q] Beanstalk Rom 4.4.275 Lots of Random Reboots

I'm using Beanstalk on my phone and I get a lot of random reboots. Mostly when I'm unlocking the phone. I press the button and the soft keys light up the phone freezes and 5 or so seconds later it reboots. It also happens during calls sometimes when I take the phone away from my face and the screen turns on and sometimes when I'm listening to music. It's also happened a few times while I was using the phone. I don't restore any data(unless you count the apps that automatically reinstall from the playstore when I boot the phone, and a few apks from blackmart) I've tried reflashing but that was only a temporary fix. I always have problems with roms being really buggy even though I always to clean flashes.
Can someone help me to fix this? I use this device to play music over a sound system for crowds of people so I really need this bug fixed. (preferably without reflashing but I will if need be.)

you can go to the Original Development thread and find the thread for the Uber kernel. pay attention cause one is for JB and the other for KK. whichever Beanstalk your running get the right kernel.
you will flash it just like you flash a rom, or more like you would flash the gapps. you don't have to start over flashing rom again, you are just flashing the kernel to it.
the reboots sound a bit off to me as if you are flashing completely clean, KK is very stable for me and most others. maybe try flashing rom twice as you can get 2 different reactions on 2 different flashes.
flash rom
flash rom again
gapps
boot and wait
reboot
go back and flash your kernel
make sure you get all your wipes in middle of all this.

I don't restore any data(unless you count the apps that automatically reinstall from the playstore when I boot the phone, and a few apks from blackmart) I've tried reflashing but that was only a temporary fix. I always have problems with roms being really buggy even though I always to clean flashes.
Can someone help me to fix this? I use this device to play music over a sound system for crowds of people so I really need this bug fixed. (preferably without reflashing but I will if need be.)

If you like beanstalk try this fix. New problem I'm getting a lot of graphical bugs now. So far just in browser but everything flickers including system ui

If you are using Beanstalk you should probably read the BeanStalk thread, both of these common problems (screen flicker and failure to wake) are solved with a Aroma package made by p0llution. You flash it in recovery and all is good. Link is in 1st post, right next to ROM link. You can also switch kernels and boot animations with same package.

Would I need to reflash the ROM to ally another kernel?

As instructed, you need to do some reading. In my last post I gave you instructions on how to add kernel.
Help yourself first, then others will be more than happy to assist.

I'll give you some slack 'cause I am still close enough to my first flash that I remember being full of questions, but at least read the OP and most recent pages in your ROM thread. You should skim through it all ideally but some are 100+ pages so....
Kernel switching in general does not require any ROM action, there are likely cases that it might be useful but I've never had a problem. You will need to ensure that the kernel is matched to your ROM; KitKat or Jellybean or whatever. I usually do it as I flash a ROM but I have gone back and installed a kernel on a running ROM plenty of times; Uber for instance was released after I had BeanStalk up and running, it is a good kernel so I switched to that.
As a more general point the Note is hard to brick, as long as you don't somehow mess up the recovery (CWM or TWRP) you are just a quick restore away from back to normal. Use the backup function in your recovery, it is your friend and savior. Keep a copy of the back-up on your PC (or Mac) and you will usually be golden.

If you are on BS Rom you should know that all you need to to know is on the OP post-the rom and the patch. The latter contains about 5 different kernels which you can switch betw. to your hearts content. The patch is n00bie proof to make your switches. Really hit BS OP.

Just like all the other kind gents adv'd, it's all in patch's OP:

He uses aroma installer, so when you flash it (personally, I did it with CWM) you don't need to wipe cache/dalvik nor wipe phone, he mentons this on patch's thread while answering questions I believe. The screenshots show you some differences between the kernels he has available, either CM, Uber or PAC.
Personally, I'm using PAC since for me it seemed to work better with the Xposed's Netflix workaround, whereas it didn't work that well with Uber.
Also, the patch provides fixes, for camera, screen flicker and such.. Give it a try, and you'll definitely love your phone more!
