[Q] Unsuccessful bootloader unlocking attempt on Chinese (ME860) Atrix. Need help. - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm a n00b and I need help. I've spent lots of time reading xda forums and haven't found anything that really fits my case.
Motorola Atrix ME860. Chinese version which means that it doesn't have Google Play store or anything. Running Froyo 2.2.2.
Because it has a really ****ty Chinese OS, the ultimate goal is to flash CyanogenMod 9. Got Gingerbreak app's .apk via phone browser and successfully rooted the phone.
I'm on a Mac, so I had to use Parallels to attempt unlocking the bootloader. Successfully installed Motorola Drivers, RSD Lite, Android SDK (downloaded SDK Tools and Google USB Driver).
Used RSD Lite to try flashing the Pudding IHOP international users bootloader unlocking sbf file. Yes, I've seen the comments on that link about Chinese phones. Wasn't concerned because I've never accepted any OTA updates or flashed down to Froyo as discussed here. I don't know why, but RSD Lite didn't successfully flash the unlock sbf file.
CURRENT SITUATION:
Power + up volume = SVF: 108:1:2 Failed to boot 3 Starting Fastboot protocol support
Power + down volume = SVF: 108:1:2 Failed to boot 3 Entering nv flash recovery mode (It flashes this for about three tenths of a second and then the screen goes black.)
----------------------------------
•Have I bricked my phone?
•What's the next step? The power + up volume option seems to show some promise....
•Can I flash a 2.2.3 Gingerbread file to at least be able to USE the phone and then try unlocking the bootloader again?
Because I'm a n00b, if you have advice/directions, the more specific the better. Thank you very much.

Power + up volume = SVF: 108:1:2 Failed to boot 3 Starting Fastboot protocol support
Power + down volume = SVF: 108:1:2 Failed to boot 3 Entering nv flash recovery mode (It flashes this for about three tenths of a second and then the screen goes black.)
I have exactly the same problem, could you fix this?? could you tell me how?? please, I have been looking on google like for 6 hours now.
thanks !!!!!! I would really appreciate any advice!!

Sorry, but I never found out a solution. I gave up after spending wwwwaaaaaaay too much time on the problem I'm not sure where you're living in the world, but look into getting some help from an "Android Ninja" on Craigslist.

If you can enter fastboot mode, try flashing a custom recovery.

actually you did miss something. how about just power on. no vol up or down, just turn the device on. that should allow you to use RSD support and flash a sbf file. or you can enter into fastboot mode and flash each partition with its corresponding img file

Not so sure on what kind of Bricked, but bricked regardless...help

I had tried to flash the stock webtop on my atrix 4g, after i had done the webtop mod(due to the screen presses from the phone would not work, and it also would not allow me to have the normal functionality and so i wanted to go back to stock for webtop). Not too sure if I'm able to post the link to where i found the instructions, but i did get it from atrix forums.
But pretty much now, when i turn my phone on, it gets stuck on the Motorola screen with text saying...
Failed to boot 4
Starting RSD Mode
I did read up and saw that from my POV, the best thing would be to get the stock sbf and use RSD Lite and flash it back to the beginning. But a few things do come up,
I found a thread in XDA where it had all the sbf i could want, but they were uploaded into filesonic which will not let me download it.
Would this be the only option for me to go?
Also some background into phone, AT&T Atrix 4g, was running 2.3.4, firmware 4.5.91 and was rooted. Any enlightenment on my pridicament would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time in reading.
First, did you have an unlocked bootloader?
If not, that's your problem.
Second, is there an option to get into recovery?
If so, try to perform a "Factory Reset" within the recovery before trying to use RSD lite (not recommended).

unlocked bootloader, that would be a negative. I guess that was what happened as to why i'm in this situation. But trying to get it back to factory settings, when i turn on the phone and hold down power button and vol down, it shows the Motorolla screen, i keep holding it down...it never shows the option for fast boot or the menu to change to be able to get it back to factory. Unless I'm doing it wrong, but it goes to Motorola screen then waits a bit and then screen turns off. Any ideas? If RSD Lite is not recommended, what's a good try to take? thanks for replying back quite fast.
Just to confirm the steps:
1. Press and hold the volume down button
2. Then press the power button (note: you don't need to continue holding the power button when doing this)
3. Continue holding the volume down button until it says "Fastboot"
If that's what you did then that would be correct. Actually, try just booting it normally and see if it gives you any options while booting.

When I let it boot up without pressing anything, it just says
"Failed to boot 4"
"Starting RSD mode"
When i hold down vol down button for a bit nothing. I did notice though if i press the vol down button directly after i get "failed to boot 4" it blinks something real quick and then the screen goes black(which then i would have to take out the battery and put the batter back in). ...but what flashes, i believes says nvflash.
If i press volume up button after it says "Failed to boot 4" it gives me..
"Starting Fastboot protocal support"
So with no touch, "Starting RSD mode".
Vol down, I think it says nvflash
Vol up, Starting fastboot protocal support.
Well, when it says "Starting Fastboot protocol support" it means it is in fastboot but I don't know for sure what you could do from other than "fastboot -w" which would erase userdata and cache. Do you have the fastboot files? Have you thought about trying to flash Pudding if you can get it into RSD mode? You could then flash a custom recovery in fastboot from that point and either try to factory reset or flash a custom rom/fruitcake.

So what are the chances of me getting a hard brick if i did the RSD Lite as what was proposed in other occurences?
Also with pudding, do I need anything done special on the phone...unlock bootloader or anything else? just want to make sure, since i don't want to be in this situation again or worse lol.
Also, what do you mean by if i have the fastboot files? such as the ones i used to root the phone?
There's really no measurement of risk for using RSD lite. If used properly it should go without a hitch but there have been "rare" occurrences of things going wrong. If you can find the correct sbf(2.3.4-4.5.91 signed) and download the current RSD then you should be fine
Pudding is the unlocked bootloader.
Fastboot files is what is needed to give commands in fastboot mode. (eg. "fastboot.exe")

is it that hard to find a signed sbf for 2.3.4 4.5.91 at&t?
Also, what would be the benefits of going the pudding way versus if i just attempt the rsd way?
which one is safer? lol
Pudding, in a sense, is safer as it will unlock your bootloader and you can flash ROMs all day with a custom recovery but it would help to have the appropriate knowledge before diving in. You mentioned you had rooted your phone but what else, as far as modding, are you familiar with?
I actually tried to find an sbf to link to for you but couldn't find one.

Just in case someone else get's this error.
I used this sbf. at&t signed 2.3.4 4.5.91
http://www.4shared.com/archive/viniGE9x/1FF-olympus-user-234-4591-1106.html
and RSD Lite v5.6
From there when phone got to the motorola screen and said
"Failed to boot 4"
"Starting RSD Mode"
ran RSD with the sbf, it went through it's thing and it worked. it did revert everything that was done when the phone was rooted, and there is no root.

[Q] Atrix bootloop problem

Hi there guys, first of all thank you all so much for the support here.
I have a problem with my atrix, i googled a lot before posting, but i still can't find a solution:
I have a atrix 4G, unlocked, was running successfully neutrino 2,8 version.
After 2 months of being (almost) fully functional, the phone crashed(i didn't do anything particular at that time, i think that i was browsing google maps) suddenly and now i have continuous boot loop, i get only the classic red dual core logo, with the "unlocked" notification over it, and then after 10-15 sec it reboots.
I try to open it with holding volume down, to enter recovery, nothing happens. It reboots again. The computer doesn't see it, in this case.
I reboot it with holding volume up, says "starting RSD protocol suppport", and pc sees it and i get the cling-clong sound of usb.
I would do the recovery using rsd, but i read that it is not for unlocked devices, is this so? What can i do in this case? Thanks a lot!!!

You'll probably need to flash a new recovery partition. Check out this thread:

flasing a recovery is done via fastboot so you don't have to enter recovery but fastboot (hold power and volume down till it shows fastboot, then press up) .

hello i had this problem yesterday, it happens in neutrino rom to alot of people!
and btw i could not open recovery either
ill explain what i had to do
i had to use moto-fastboot and install a new recovery, basically your recovery is dead and your rom is unbootable
heres the steps
download the moto drivers and install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1381183&d=1349549067
then download the motofastboot zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1381414&d=1349555102
and create a new folder in C: (computer) called Android and then drag the files from the moto zip into android
Then download a new recovery http://www.mediafire.com/?6ww8wrjrdqq9m97
place the recovery.img into the android folder
now you have all the files needed to reflash your new recovery and fix your phone the whole idea is to reinstall recovery so you can access it and wipe and install the rom fresh again
now you need to do these steps
1) Attach your phone to the PC via USB (use a port closest to the power supply)
2) Reboot phone while holding volume down until you see "fastboot"
3) Press volume up to initiate fastboot
4) On your PC click the Start menu, then in the search box type "cmd"
5) In the command prompt type the following commands (no quotes, hit enter after each command)
6a) "cd c:/android"
6b) "moto-fastboot devices"
your CMD promt should show something like this
C:\Users\Me>cd c:/android
c:\Android>fastboot devices
TA20703SX9 fastboot
c:\Android>
now if that has all worked type the following phrases
moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.4-maguro.img
moto-fastboot reboot
now the phone should reboot, unplug the usb and pull battery out.
put battery back in and then try to boot into recovery like you normally would (power button + Vol Down)
and your new recovery should load!
from here you can wipe your whole system which i would reccomended as your current one is corrupt and install a new rom or reflash your current on onto a clean wipe. if you dont understand how to clean wipe do all of these steps, factory reset, clear cache, clean dalvik cache then go to mounts > storage and format data + format cache + format system
now install new rom and let it boot up, should bootloop a couple of times then start! if not unplug battery from phone and ask for further assitance

Thank you for your help, the problem is exactly here, i put on the usb, i power up the phone by pressing the volume down, and the phone does nothing,doesn't show the fastboot,and after 10-15 secs starts rebooting again. This is my problem!
The only response from my phone is when powering up, and pressing the volume up, it says "starting rsd protocol support"
Is there any case that my volume down is dead?

unplug usb
remove battery, then put battery back in make sure phone off (no green light)
then hold power button and vol down at the same time for a few seconds
Fastboot should appear in white writing then press up volume and it should say starting rsd protocal or something similiar
then plug in usb and follow the steps i have written above
i do exactly what you said, but doesn't show fastboot. from switched off, if i press volume up with power button, i see the message "starting rsd protocol support" .but no fastboot option!
Is there any chance that you can access adb after bootscreen? than you can use "adb reboot recovery" to get there...

When i start up phone, the only combination possible to stop restarting is by pressing power+vol up to show that with RSD. There is no other option then selectable. Power + volume down does not work, doesn't show anything, has anyone of you experienced this thing?
If the only working option you have is RSD, then I'm afraid you're stuck with having to flash a stock SBF. I hope you know/remember exactly what stock version you had installed before any modding or flashing, because the SBF has to match exactly. Choose wisely and read up as much as you can before flashing.
I have over a year now with custom roms, and i can't remember which version i had. Why do i have to find exactly the version that i had? The latest stock version won't work with rsd? It will make it hard brick?If i manage at least to recover the fastboot menus etc it would be great!
I will later also try to open it, to see if the side button "volume down" is not working,.
I have another question, in your moto atrix, if you press on startup power+vol up, are you also seeing the "starting RSD" etc option??

Yes, flashing a wrong SBF will most likely hardbrick your device.

Can't try right now, but as far as I know, yes, that is a standard way to enter RSD mode.
thank you, so, i know that at least my phone responds to some instructions.
Is there anyone else to suggest me to do anything else?
IN rsd mode, (other than flashing a stock random rom with chance of hardbricking,)the phone can be read by usb, can i do anything there?

Sadly no. The RSD mode can only ever be used to flash SBFs. That's it. Nothing less, nothing more.
I will now try to open it to see if vol down is not working well. If it does work, i will select a stock rom 1 year old and i will flash it using rsd, and whatever happens....:good:
I disassembled the phone, the button seems to operate fine(?).
I flashed with RSDlite the 2.3.6 version, the RSD stuck to waiting for phone to restart.
The phone restarted, the "unlocked" logo disappeared.
Starts normally, passes the red motorola logo, shows the graphic of AT&T, and after ~10sec starts restarting again. Bootloop again!
At boot, pressing power+vol up, i can still get the RSD support. Pressing power+vol down does nothing, I don't see any error messages, like the ones in hard brick.
What can i do now, any ideas please!!!
try this

Yesterday I had a hard time getting my phone into fastboot mode, after loading a bad SV kernel,it only wanted to start the RSD protocol mode. I eventually got into fastboot by plugging into the wall charger, then removing and installing the battery while holding the vol button. When fastboot appears, unplug the charger to allow sd access.
Thanks for the suggestion, i tried even this,it didn't work. The funny thing is that it shows the battery charging level full screen if i connect the charger, as it starts.
I noticed also that when i press vol down now, it takes longer to start and continue to the moving red logo, it stays for a while stable red,feels like it is thinking whether to start or not lol (if i don't press vol down, on the power up the red moto logo immediately starts the classic "waving" effects)
Anyone having any kind of suggestion?I guess you don't, right?

[Q] Droid Razr stuck on motorola red logo no boot manager

Hello,
I've searched for help on this and can't seem to find any.
Problem: Motorola Razr is stuck on the red m logo, but I cannot boot into the boot menu to flash via RSD or anything. The logo is offset to the left a little and has a small 1-2 pixel high rainbow of colors across the bottom. When trying to boot into the menu with power and vol + & - it simply boots without a logo but still the small bar of colors.
Probable cause: Phone's screen wasn't turning on and the phone wouldn't turn off so I did the reset with vol up and power while the phone was still probably on. Before when my phone's button wasn't responsive i used that to reset it and it had worked.
Info on phone and rom:
Rom - Rage rom 2.2 upgraded from 2.1 (worked for the past two months fine)
Phones base version: 98.72.16 (the april JB release) flashed via droid razr utility
Safestrap version 3.11
What I've tried: was going to try rsd flashing but i can't reach the boot menu.
Basic summary: Stuck on M logo and can't get into boot menu or safestrap, after holding vol up + power while phone was on.
Going into the boit manager and flashing via rsd lite both are different .
For flashing via rsd lite ya need to switch off ya mobile and then press both volume down and volume up at same time and press power button then.
It ll take ya into the bootloader and then using power down come till 3rd option ap fastboot and then press power up to select that now connect ya phone to pc and then flash the fastboot using rsd lite
Edit : make sure ya have installed appropriate drivers to get recognise ya phone by rsd lite
Thanks!!

I think i have the same problem
I had MIUI on my Razr and today i wanted to try CyanogenMod, so i downlaoded it and installed it with ClockWorkMod, then rebooted and struck in the big red M, and no way to access the boot manger because if i press volume up + volume down + power it reboot, show the big red M then black sceen, and if it's conneced to my pc it tryes to install some drivers bit it fail, but still black screen
Is it bricked? What can i do?

Ya can't use boot manager and cwm recovery both . If ya want to use cwm ya need to remove all the files of bmm . Its just soft bricked not hard bricked so no need to worry just flash the appropriate fastboot file using rsd lite to get back to stock
Thats it
Edit : i think ya know the flashing method
Thanks!!

Thanks for trying but I tried following your instructions to get into fast boot and the screen just goes dark. Also when plugging into my PC it pops up on windows' end saying that a USB device has malfunctioned. I think I may just get it replaced under warranty unless sometime soon I find out theres a new way to fix it. But yeah it seems its too hard to tell if I'm actually in fastboot or if its even getting there properly.
Thanks!
As far as i know ya have tried all the unbrick method , none of them seemed to work . I believe ya razr is not soft or hard bricked and its not software problem too . Its hardware problem ya need to take it to service centre because it may be LED problem
Thanks!!

How I fixed my Motorola Razr i (Intel)
Hello guys,
Since my Motorola Razr i phone is a company phone where I receive my corporate emails, I wasn't allowed to root the phone whatsoever.
My phone got stuck on the Red Motorola logo under normal usage. One day I turned it off and when I turned it back on, I had this problem.
How I solved it:
1) Downloaded and installed RSD Lite 6.1.4 which worked on Windows 8.1. Ensure all drivers are installed and that nothing is undetected in Device Manager. #important
2) I am based in Germany and I had the Vodafone Retail (EU) version. So I downloaded "CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml.zip" from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=13. This corresponds to Android 4.1.2 Retail Europe.
3) I booted the phone in Fastboot (Power + Vol down; after restart and little vibrate, release power, keep finger on Vol down.)
4) The phone was detected in RSD Lite. I chose the zip file, unpacked and flashed.
5) Done. Phone was fresh. No warranty was void, nothing was rooted. All good.
Hope that helps somebody out there!
Cheers,
Shailen.
I've got the same issue. Took the OTA (was on stock OTA, rooted). Not, nothing but moto-logo with the only working option being AP Fastboot. Tried script utility to bring back to 4.1.2, but it fails on writing system and boot (preflash validation failed FAILED (remote failure)).
Is there another way to get the stock images flashed on there?

Well, with RSDLite 6.1.6 and the most recent build from droid-developers . org I'm back in operation. Old version, wiped out, but at least I can make/receive phone calls.
How I got my Razr HD (XT925) Working! Flashed It WITHOUT LOSE ANY FILES!
I know this is a old thread, but if some one else falls here just like me, I had a problem with my XT925 too, and figured out that my only choice was to flash it up.
My phone was stuck in the red motorola logo, and it doesn't even tried to load the android.
After reading a lot of information and tried EVERYTHING, I fall here, and the comment of @shailentj saved my phone!
So I basically followed the steps that @shailentj posted in this very thread, with some differences.
1 - His link goes directly to Motorola RAZR i (XT890), but if you access ' sbf.droid-developers.org ' (I can't post links yet) you will be able to find your own model, which in my case was Razr HD (XT925).
2 - Extracted the whole firmware package (.zip file) and edited the .xml file, removing the "getvar" line. If you don't know what or how to do this, is just remove the line where you find the text "getvar". If you have trouble, just google it, there is a lot of information.
And finally, the reason I'm here. I found a way to don't delete USER DATA! My phone stuck, and I did't have any backup of my contacts (that is a lot of numbers) nor my files (photos, movies).
So I start to read the .xml file, and find a step "userdata", with operation "erase". This line says to erase the user's data partition, and in most cases, we don't want that.
Then, just remove the line in the xml written: " <step operation="erase" partition="userdata"/> ", and your files (may) not be erased!
4 - I start to flash, and then I got the infamous message "sistem_signature" failed. The solution was just download the last RSD I found (which in my case was 6.1.6).
5 - My phone restarts, with everything working great, system restored and ALL MY FILES AND CONTACT NUMBERS were there!
So very thank you @shailentj, your post really helped me a lot!
And yeah, you can flash your phone without lose any contacts or photos!
Now go, and spread the word!

[Q] Failed to boot 2, starting rsd mode

My device is: Motorola atrix 4g mb860 AT&T.
I used my phone as usual, and it seemed it went out of battery (possibly), when I tried to power it up it said:
"Failed to boot 2
Starting RSD mode" and got stuck, however, if I take out the battery and try to power it up again it will show the same issue, I cant enter the fastboot protocol support if powering it up while holding the volume up key, it just stucks, I cant either enter the selection of modes if powering it up while holding the volume down key way, it brings me to a black screen.
Ive read about this RSD Light and stuff, tried to flash 3 different sbf files, or more, after trying to flash it shows this in the device:
"Failed to boot 2
Starting RSD mode
sec_exception febe 35, 35", the phone get stucked, and in the program it says "FAILED" under the tab "Result", however, it happens only after the status of the phone in the program "Waiting for re-enumeration" changes to "Failed flashing process. Phone[0000]; Phone did not re-enumerate after RAM-downloader was sent. (0x703E)".
When i take the cable of the phone out and do a restart to it, I'm back to the first problem at the beginning, Failed to boot 2, Starting RSD mode.
It seems someone had a samiliar problem to me, but he used clocked and stuff... his thread:

Search das8nt on yahoo or something, you'll find it. Or just simply run a search for atrix sbf instead of being lazy
