Soft Bricked Atrix 4G - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was flashing a new rom in CWM on my AT&T Atrix 4G, unlocked bootloader, running CM10. I was going to flash CM9 because there was a bug in CM10, and when I went to wipe my dalvik cache, I hit the wrong menu option somehow and wiped an internal partition that must've been the one that CWM was on, so now I get the screen shown in the picture. Any ideas guys? Thx.

I should have mentioned, that doesn't work. I get the error in the following picture.
Please help me! I forgot how awful using a feature phone is! lol

are you familiar with fastboot? What happens if you select fastboot? I am just thinking that you might try reflashing the recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) but I am not great with fastboot but worth a look?

I'll give it a try. Thanks man! I was looking at SBF files, which I really wanted to avoid. I'll let you know what happens.

Nothing. The fastboot command line tool couldn't see my phone. I'm going to look for another guide. Maybe there's something I'm missing.

Driver issues. When I click yes to the error on the first button, the error in the second screenshot pops up.

By the way, I just want to say I appreciate the help and the quick replies.

Found the drivers and successfully flashed RomRacers Recovery through Fastboot! Thanks guys! She lives!:victory:

It's odd though, I just flashed cm10 and I'm having frequent random reboots and the screen calibration is off.

It looks like the trick here is a pds partition fix. I'll give it a try tomorrow and report back.
The pds partition worked.

I am a RAZR user and have it all rooted and running great so I am fairly competent but a co-worker has the ATRIX and it was in a bootloop. I offered to help and find myself practically where you were except I have no OS on the phone and can not seem to get recovery on it.
Can you share where you found the right drivers, recovery, and a good OS? Basically I need someone to hold my hand through this because I do not have the time to keep looking for the right things since I have a kitchen remodel underway and a wife who....need I say more?
Thanks

I got exactly what you did. But even in fastboot mode I can't get out of this screen after flashing the recovery. Actually it does not get into CWM or another recovery but each time I Vol and Power Down it gets into this screen again. Looks like flashing does not help at all. If I select Boot Android it powers up in the last ROM I flashed before all this. The problem is that I cannot operate any soft button at the bottom: the screen looks not calibrated so I need to push on areas lower than actual buttons are, and I don't know how to get out of that either. No Back, neither Home or Search buttons are unreachable.
What can I do? How to reflash this phone?

If you activate the RSD mode you can flash your stock rom with RSDLite. There is a superthread with the original firmwares, you will lose root and unlock but it will restore completely your device

Wipe data/factory reset is the correct next step. Select that line using the vol buttons, then press the power button. You will see text appear that confirms the wipe was completed. Then your phone should boot.
Next go to the second guide that BROKKANIC posted for you (first link in my signature) and follow the steps. Feel free to ask if there is something you don't understand.

I would personally suggest against that. Just use odin to flash a gb custom kernel. Then flash one of the better ICS firmwares we have available in the development forum.

That's your call, of course. I'd recommend against it. If you really want stock ICS I'd at least install stock plus root, and install a custom and known safe kernel. See this thread in development.
Or, install the custom firmware of your choice from the forums here. For a popular stock ICS rom, there is Semi by AJ Newkirk.

[Q] Bricked Prime...Tried everything

I feel like i've read every thread and tried everything.. hope some one can help?
The Problem:
I had a semi working JB rom and i tried to flash a new rom due to lag and stutter from the one that was on it now I cannot boot past the EEE Pad (asus/nvidia) screen - just sits here with the text on the left corner "AndroidRoot 9.4.2.28r01
The Hope:
I can access CWM, fastboot, ADB etc :silly:
The Attempt:
Almost everything i can find, erasing through fastboot, cwm, installing different roms etc. I've tried flashing a new blob from the official asus download through fastboot but i get an error when putting it through....
Any one have ideas on what it might be, is there hope? or is this money down the drain?

I believe you tried to flash a JB rom without the JB boot loader. If you have nvflash enabled then that's you're only recovery option. Other than that it's dead. Asus can fix it for a fee.

He says he can access Cwm fastboot and adb so he is not dead.

I am not talking about androidroot number but the one in the long line with bootloader in it.

It looks like I have the exact same problem but my number starts with a 10. I would be eternally grateful if someone could help. I have searched for hours and have had not luck ;(
---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------
How I did this...
I was running CM 10 with the jb bootloader and I figured I'd update before going on a trip.
I decided to try AndroWook but couldn't get it to boot. I couldn't get it to work or figure out why. When I recovered CM, no problem. So I decided to give it one more go and downloaded AndroWook 1.3 and installed as if I was updating the bootloader.
Been in ruins ever since ;(
I can get to fastboot and adb but can't boot into recovery! I tried flashing a new recovery through fastboot. I am either missing something or it is not working.
Thanks for anyone that can point me in a direction.

Just install the regular version of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34937936&postcount=6210 . put a Jellybean rom either Androwook 1.51 or nrgz latest from the developers thread on a micro sd card. And then use this to flash a new rom. Do not forget to wipe cache, dalvik and factory reset. You can actually wipe anything EXCEPT FOR EXTERNAL SD.

[Q] Followed tutorial, Unlocked Bootloader, Pda net, Superuser, still no root access?

Good morning guys,
Im not even sure where to start because im just getting into programming. I just tried to root my HTC rezound last night, so I followed the tutorial to the letter. Everything went very well by all accounts, except after unlocking bootloader, pda net, installed superuser, but yet when I try to verify that I have root access the phone does not recognise the root. Does anyone have any ideas why this could be? Ill be more than happy to post whatever information you might need in helping me figure this little problem out.
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure about a stock Rom, but I did a custom recovery and haven't touched s-on or s-off yet. I did unlock the bootloader and pda net using the walkthrough found at the htcdev.com /bootloader site. I don't know if I just need to find another walkthrough to finish the rooting process or if I'm way off here. The phone itself still works as good as ever so at least I didn't brick it. I feel like I'm close or at least on the right track.

pull your battery and re insert it.
hold vol down button and power until you get the white bootloader screen
The top should say unlocked in pink
if you have a custom recovery it will also say tampered in pink
since you are new and not sure, to continue we need to verify this
what does it say?

No, it really doesn't.
I was just trying to get you familiar with it since this is all new to you
and give you a walkthrough for the recovery you installed.

I think maybe you are in the fast boot mode which is not visible. Try 2 clicks on vol down and hit the pwr button. that should get you into recovery
good luck

You will need to be sure the phone is powered off, not just screen timed out. Then press volume up and power at the same time, the options to get into recovery should be visible if you did alt. teenybin.
Dude!! you are a Life saviour

Just download cwm zip and flash in twrp then choose reboot recovery and you will be in cwm.

This the one I am using now, sk8ers also worked fine and there is a third cwm that has a ton of extra features but haven't tried it yet.

You are welcome, I have had the phone since it came out so it is easy to point someone in the right direction. The search function only works if you know what to search for, our forum isn't as large as some but it is still a lot to take in if you just got the phone.

[Q][SOLVED]Bricked phone

Help me anyone.
Today i wanted to update twrp on my z2
When rebooting the twrp-light (green) went on, i tried to access it, but it skipped.
Then i tried to flash a CWM-recovery to reflash and restore the backup.
Now i cannot acces that recovery either. It skips, goes to boot-logo and bootloop.
Hope anyone has a clue what happends and can help me. @Envious_Data, do you have an idea?

1. Bootloader is unlocked (needed for twrp)
2. Use flashtool and a FTF to recover your device

This one is to be flashed to boot and is for unlocked bootloaders

OMG, sorry for the early outburst.
I just kinda panicked.
Seems like you and I had the same way of thinking, cuz I just did so, and now restoring.
Hope it works.
EDIT: IT DID.
Yet again, sorry for panic. Just me worried about my phone.
