Hi all.
I'm in dire need of help...
I was glad to see the gingerbread update popping up on my atrix...so i got home (better internet) and did the update. Everything seemed fine until i tried to put the phone to sleep (pushed the power button). The thing just rebooted. Tried it again and the same thing happened...next time it turned on i just waited for it to go to sleep mode by itself and again it booted.
Searching the forums, the answers pointed me to the direction of a factory reset...and away i went...to no new results. It just kept on booting. So i decided to do a rollback do the previous version and that's when it got ugly. RSD gave me a FAIL in the flashing process and now i cant boot the phone.
Thing is...it gives me the black and white screen saying it couldn't boot, but as soon as the RSD mode msg shows up it just turns of. I can't get it to stay on for the usb to pick the phone up...
how am i supposed to retry to flash it again?!
ANY help would come in handy...i'm about to loose hope.
Thanks in advance!

are you getting a screen with just...
(SVF message: 105:1:2 failed to boot 0x1000)
or something like this?
No OS detected, going to rsd mode in 5seconds press a key to stop count down available modes are:
1)rsd
2)fastboot
3)NvFlash
4)Bp HW Bypass rsd
5)BP HW bypass QC Dload
6)BP HW diag & Boot AP
7)BP HW Bypass BP only
8)BP SW Bypass RSD
9)Android recovery
10)boot android (no BP)
11)Device UID
12)console=tty50,115200n8
13 Early USB enumeration
14)BP tools
Did you not read the WARNING thread? It's stickied and is called WARNING for a reason.
[WARNING] Hard Brick with Official 4.5.91 Update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160408
If the error is indeed (SVF message: 105:1:2 failed to boot 0x1000), you are SoL.
Defnow...i keep getting the first msg. followed by a REALLY quick one about RSD and then the phone shuts off...to the point where i need to take the battery out so i can look at the msg again. Edgeicator was right on target with the link.
Edgeicator, you got it right...unfortunately i didn't read the post...the shock of loosing a phone like this (specially living in Brazil) was enough to have me trying everything i could...i did read a couple of posts where people was being told to try the rollback...i was stupid and unlucky...a dangerous combination.
So i guess there's no solution in sight? should i just prepare myself psychologically to buy ANOTHER phone?
Thanks for the answer guys.
hard brick man. Sorry.

if u can somehow get the phone to stay on and be recognized in RSD u could try to flash the pudding sbf then fast boot and load the system and boot.img files from the fruitcakes thread. Otherwise ull be buyin a new phone if u cant get a warranty replacement.

I believe if its still under warranty you call up the ATT guys which will direct you to the Moto guys and they will ask you to ship your phone to them to fix since its a software related issue.
And how the hell do you manage to HARD BRICK your phone even with all these threads and warnings.
One question though, when you boot up the phone does the computer recognize it? I believe if it does you still can fix it.
Yeah i thought so...it sucks, but its good learning.
As i said before, searched around the web and got a couple posts, all pointing in the direction of a rollback, even if already updated to 2.3.4 ...bad luck for me.
I already sent msgs to those threads so they post a big ass red warning so no one will follow the same path.
...time to ponder my next buy...should i go for a replacement Atrix...should i try the galaxy 2s...should i get a crappy phone and wait for Atrix2?

Hi XDA, been lurking for a while and today decided to start posting, beginning with a relatively urgent question.
My brother's been marveling at the ability to flash custom ROMs onto my Galaxy S2, and decided he wanted to root his Atrix today. Rooting process went well (he used Pete's Motorola Root Tools) and then flashed CWM through ROM Manager, but did NOT unlock his bootloader. After CWM was purportedly done, he put a ROM onto his HDD, turned the phone off, and attempted to boot into CWM. He was greeted with an error message, "Failure to Boot 2, Starting RSD Mode", which pops up whether he tries to turn on the phone normally or by holding the volume button down. Taking out the battery doesn't help.
Now, my assumption is that because he didn't unlock his bootloader, he's getting this error, but my experience with Android dev is limited. So, how would I go about fixing this? My only concern is getting the phone back to a working state, we don't care about the data on it.
Thank you for the time taken to read and answer this question, any and all help is appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Leo
EDIT: Just want to make sure, I did a fair amount of searching before I made this thread and found a bunch of answers, just not sure which one I should do. One thread champions just unlocking the bootloader, others suggest flashing an OEM ROM, which I'm not sure how to do without CWM. Essentially I'm just looking for some guidance and would deeply appreciate any help I can get.
EDIT 2: Forgot to add - he was running 2.2.1 stock. Root was successful. Feel free to ask any questions if necessary.
UPDATE: I've been trying to use these instructions to unlock the bootloader, but I'm stuck on the step that asks you to reboot your phone into RSD mode. The phone doesn't boot without being plugged in, and gives me the following error when I do:
Failed to Boot 2, Starting RSD Mode
"Battery is too low to Flash". Right now the phone's plugged into the wall with this message displaying,
It also goes without saying that RSD Mode, in fact, is never started .
Added some more information (apparently new members aren't allowed to post links, so added the information as UPDATE in the original post).
Again, thanks for your help and suggestions.
Bump, somebody please weigh in.

You are correct in just trying to unlock the BL. Unfortunately, you will need a charged battery to do so. If you don't have access to a different battery, you can go to an AT&T store and they should charge it for you.
The OEM you're referring to is a full .sbf, instead of just the smaller "unlock" .sbf. That is an option, but in all honesty, unlocking the BL should be the quickest way to fix your situation.
If you run into any problems, let us know.
Thanks for the advice, it's immensely reassuring. He went to an AT&T store and they were unhelpful, refused to charge it for him I'm going to order a battery charger off Amazon and charge it that way, and will post here when I have results.
In the meantime if anyone else has something to add it would be quite appreciated.
Thanks,
Leo

Alright, we've run into a problem.
The screen never gets past the error message "Failure to Boot 2, Starting RSD Mode". We turn it off, hold power and up at the same time, and it still boots to that message. I press the power button and hold the volume up button, nothing changes.
The battery is charged.
Is there something I'm missing here?

The .sbf's are flashed while your phone is in RSD Mode
in order to charge your battery (to fix the "Battery is too low" message) you will need to sacrifice any USB cable, cut it open and tape the red and black wires to the battery. (Red goes on +, Black goes on -)

Yep, I realized that. I thought "Starting RSD Mode" would at some point subside, and it would say something along the lines of "In RSD Mode" or something. But he flashed an unlock SBF and got it unlocked. He now has a beautiful Atrix running ICS MIUI.
Thank you all for the help.
Same problem but the solution does not work for me
I am in the same boat. I downloaded RSD 5.9 and used the file in pudding.rar. After I loaded the file, RSD said it passed with 100% load but the phone is still stuck in the same place. Can anyone help?
Hello, I have been a member of the forums for a while and read up on the posts, but I haven't been doing any modding for YEARS. I was on an OG EVO rooted with MIUI rom and I have been running that. So I recently saw a photon on Ebay for peanuts, and they said that it kept rebooting. Thinking myself clever I bought it saying they probably just screwed up trying to flash it.
I got it 4 days ago and I have been making the situation WORSE since I got it!! When I first got it, it booted to the sprint homepage. I got a "no signal" red indicator. I tried to activate it, but couldn't. called sprint, they couldn't and said it's probably because of the no signal. I read a few hundred posts and decided to try to flash. I DL'd RSD lite and flashed the electrify USC file. Now it boots up as US CELLULAR, and I still have no signal. Anytime I insert an sd card it reboots. It reboots randomly often. (5-10 times per hour) WIFI works though, (I can use it as an Ipad Micro.) I have downloaded files, tried a lot of fixes, with no luck. I think it's safe to say I bit off more than I could chew being out of practice and pretty noobish, but any tips would be greatly appreciated... The last thing I tried was moto fastboot to flash the boot img and recovery img. I keep getting an error (windows could not find moto fast boot). I can go into recovery by holding power and vol down, and RSD by holding power and vol up...And here I am...
I also get the flash failed error (phone failed to re-enumerate) ever since flashing the electrify file
what version of GB does it have on it?
if you mean by GB android (just a guess, I have no idea what you mean!) It's 2.3.5
There were certain photons that would randomly reboot for no reason. I had one and exchanged it for another one and have been fine since.
Unfortunately there was a hardware issue that caused the rebooting. Nothing software related can fix it.
Could try a sprint store.

Read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798145
You flashed a sbf and now you have US Cellular, but there are more files to flash to get back Sprint service. It's outlined in the thread. I soft-bricked my phone (bootloop that I couldn't get out of) followed the directions and I'm back up. You'll need to know how to root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1819660) and install Bootstrap (can't find the link but it's probably in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393519)
thanks a lot!! but am not out of the woods yet. I followed the instructions from the link and using bootstrap I was able to flash back to Sprint, so I am back where I started. The phone boots up, I have a sprint startup and home screen, I flashed the 2.3.5 modules through bootstrap But I still have the no signal red icon.
##786# shows me I have a wimax mac id, Wimax chipset version, Wimax Channel Plan, but mobile number is blank, MSID is blank, SW Version Version.45.4.13.MB855.Sprint.en.us, OS version 2.3.5, Radio is Blank, HW Version unavailable, PRL Blank, PRI Version 1.3, life timer 2233, life calls 1237, Recondition Status unavailable, ESN Unavailable, MEID Unavailable, Activation Date Unavailable
Have you tried fast boot -w command?
Edit: It will wipe your data, might be able to activate afterwards

have you flashed the 2.3.5 ota unbrick sbf? and if youve flashed all the files and are on the stock sprint rom you could try ##epst# and do a data reset which will take you to reactivate the phone
Hi guys, I'm new to the forums. Didn't need to use it befor so here's my first post:
Some months ago I dropped a box over the phone, the surface of the screen got a little broken but it still works anyway. Thing is that after I let the phone discharge completely and tried to power on again a message appeared, not allowing the phone get past that:
Unlocked
Modem did not power up (3)
Starting RSD protocol support
Battery is too low to flash
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
From that, I can infer that there is some problem that can be fixed flashing the firmware again through RSD or fastboot (I'm not sure), but for some reason, the battery remains "too low" even after leaving it plugged for hours in that screen.
BTW, the bootloader is unlocked and, the phone rooted and CWM Recovery installed. Also, I think installing a ROM through Recovery doesn't work. Any help? I saw a post about some similar error "Modem did not power up (0)" stating that modem chip is disconnected for some some reason. It could explain how my error was triggered (dropped a weight over the phone). However I don't want to mess opening the phone as long as I'm not sure of anything.
Hello everybody! I need help with my Moto e5 play XT1921-3 the problem that I have been facing is that the phone won't turn on like it used to. It still, charges, but I can only get it into ap fastboot mode and it does not let me access any of the features like recovery mode, because when I select it, it just turns the phone off and flashes a charging logo over and over again. I have never rooted my phone or have done anything riskful with it. It is very difficult to get it into ap fastboot with the battery inserted in the phone, but it is possible. This problem happened out of nowhere. All I did was take out the battery of my phone, after Shutting it off all the way. Then when I put the battery back in, this is when this problem started happening. This has happened to me before and I have fixed it before, using rsd lite, but now when I try to use rsd lite, I get a failed error everytime saying "failed partion gpt.bin/32" I also tried to fix that error, but I just keep getting an error after error message, I even took it to the T-Mobile store and they told me to keep it charged overnight. This is starting to get very stressful because I need my phone. If anyone can please help me, that will be very appreciated. Thank you.

Use lenovo moto smart assist to flash your device, something that will fix the problem.
I tried that but lenovo smart assist does not recognize my phone And I cant get past the apfastboot screen

Try flashing the device using fastboot, maybe it will work.
