I was trying to install CM10 JB on my photon 4g but I had not taken a backup of my stock image. Now my phone does not boot up and hangs at dual core technology screen.
I tried to flash my phone using rsd lite to 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 but none worked.
when i try to update using zip from stock recovery it shows e signature verification failed.
i tried the fastboot method to flash a custom recovery but it showed command failed error 0x180002
So pls help me

Do you have the correct recovery? Anything except ROM managers should work. If you have the correct recovery did you factory reset? Did you wipe everything?
You say you flashed 2.3.5? Was that the electrify one? Since the photon doesn't have one. You can't flash anything via stock recovery. If you flashed 2.3.5 SBF you are now permanently locked, so say goodbye to custom ROMs forever.

I just rooted my Atrix after updating to the newly relased Gingerbread 2.3.4. I reflashed the latest recovery and when i reboot to recovery from ROM Manager, I get stuck at a screen that says failed to boot 2, starting RSD or something along those lines.... Anyone have this problem?
Yes same problem... looking for an answer!
Are you unlocked?

Did you update to official OTA 2.3.4? In that case you are no longer Unlocked.
I am running 2.2.2 Froyo with 1.77 build.
I unlocked and rooted via Gingerbreak.
I went into CWM Recovery, erased all cache and flashed Alien Rom v3 and immediately flashed the Alien theme over it (I think that is where I made my booboo). The Rom appeared to load perfectly yet when the phone restarted the Moto logo animation appeared to run then the screen would go dark. This process repeats every few seconds non stop.
I can get into Android Recovery, RSD, everything. I tried flashing the 1.8.3 sbf through RS Lite 5.3.1 and while it said "PASS" it still hangs at the Moto animation.
I have no idea what to do. I think I can get out of it as I have done A LOT of searching through the forums and google but I am terrible with CMD.
Any helpful and/or useful advice?

Thanks for the thread. However it looks like I need CWM Recovery in order to flash a fruitcake? I cant get the phone to boot past animation so this wont work...
Also I didnt create backups

Are you unlocked and flashed cwm through fastboot, or did you use the system recovery app?

System recovery app. I can access Androids recovery (obviously) but not many options...
Did you unlock your bootloader?
I ran into the same issue the first time I tried to flash Alien. Since you're flashing Alien, I assume your bootloader is unlocked (As it's required for Alien).
If you have an unlocked bootloader, do this:
EDITED: Apparently, I'm a new user and can't post links. Go to the address bar and replace the number with 1163342
Use Fastboot to flash the boot.img and the system.img files. This will give you Gingerbread/Motoblur like it comes out of the box. (It's a start!)
Thanks for the link. Will try when I get home. If I can just get past cmd...
Hello ... I hava an atrix 4g with 2.3.6 OTA update and Locked Bootloader .. I've rooted the phone and installed bootstrap recovery successfully and made a backup for official rom ...
The problem is after Flashing Ginger Blur Rom my phone stuck at "Dual Core motorola Screen " and as i read, flashing Official SBF File may cause hardbrick .. So is there any solution to enter Boot Strap recovery Using Fastboot and make a restore or anything else Safe ?
Thanks for this Professional Forum ....
Get the correct Kernel zip file, to flash over CWM.
Thanks you ... but my problem is that I cant access CWM Recovery because i Have a Locked Boot loader and there is no way to launch bootstrap recovery and reboot to CWM
You can use Android Recovery (3e) by default, HOLD down volume and shows fastboot than, Recovery. Its a stock.
Ok ... but what should I do with stock recovery I tried to wipe but the device still stuck and also i cant flash any rom using the stock recovery
You can flash stock kernel another way. By Android Recovery, with CWM.

Read OP boot loader is locked. He can't install cwm without unlocking boot loader. And I don't think flashing a stock kernel will help bring back the phone to stock.

You should have not flashed ginger blur with the locked boot loader…ill search around and look for a solution. Are you OK with unlocking your boot loader?
<edit> flashing the sbf should fix the issue. Make sure you DON'T flash sbf lower than 2.3.6 otherwise you'll brick your phone.
Rooted a atrix 4g AT&T US.
I had the stock rom running after root, then when I tried to setup a custom rom it wont get past the M logo. I can get into fastboot but when I try to flash any system.img it says the file is too large. I tried erasing system, boot and data, then got into CWM and tried to install from zip. It runs and says it finished. but still no boot. I dont know what else to try. any ideas?
did you format system, data, cache in advanced menu in recovery?

I noticed only one important thing missing from your post, did you unlock the bootloader first? Rooting is totally separate from being able to install custom roms.

So I used fastboot to flash a new recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500) Worked like charm, Roms load correctly and are loading great. (Although the one I am trying right now is stuck on the boot animation) I did have one loaded and working in only a few seconds after updating the recovery.
Hope this helps someone else.

Try to restore to the stock rom with the RSDlite method, it's the most simple.
Then check the automatic unlock and root for the atrix, it's a command line program that makes everything by itself, it must be somewhere here in the top guides of this forum

Do NOT use RSD or SBF files. Use fruitcakes.
I have a moto razr xt910 on rogers, unlocked, originally booted with the fido logo.. I've been using bootmenu manager to dual boot and try roms (mainly cm10) on 2nd system. I tried unsuccessfully to flash Wizzed bean rom in 1st sytem cause I didnt wanna lose my setup in 2nd system whcih was pretty good. I rebooted after it failed instead of staying in the bootmenu manager bootmenu and havent been able to get it back, just bootlooped for a while and tried to flash from recovery. Failing that, I got RSD lite and the rogers fastboot ICS file, but it returned an error in 6/21 "cdt.bin" phone returned "fail" or "failed". Online it seems that that using the motorola factory cable can often solve this problem, but unsurprisingly the one I tried to make didn't work. Do you think you could help me?
Thanks,
Me
