I need help trying to figure out why my phone will not factory reset. I unlocked the bootloader and installed stock gingerbread a few months ago. I was planning on selling the phone to a friend of mine, so i needed to factory reset. Any time I would try to factory reset it, the exclamation mark would come up after it restarts.
I tried factory resetting with a new rom, but all my apps and my motoblur account would remain after loading the new rom. the last thing I tried was the Stock ATT 2.3.4 SBF.
After using SBF if booted fine until the lock screen came up with no initial startup guide. and it keeps telling me that " The application LauncherPro (process.android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" when I press force close, it just pops up again, giving me no time to access the home screen, let alone the menu.
if anyone can help me access and get rid of this program from outside Android, it would be a great help, thanks!
fastboot -w
Im sorry but please bear with me. i also need help setting up ADB for the atrix in order to do it. for some reason I can't access my phone.
There are be a couple of ways to do a factory reset.
1. Using the fastboot (maybe it was moto-fastboot), you can put the phone in fastboot mode. Phone off, press and hold down volume key then press the power button. When the screen says "Fastboot", press the volume up key. Then as mentioned above, do "fastboot -w reboot." This will erase user data and cache then reboot the phone.
2. If you have one of the CWM recovery images installed, do as above, but when "Fastboot" is displayed, press the down volume key until "Android Recover" is displayed. Now press the volume up key. In a few seconds, the recovery menu will be displayed. Select "Wipe data/factory reset".
3. With the phone fully booted, Settings->Privacy->Factory Data Reset
Good luck
yeah my problem now is accessing my phone with adb. it wont find fastboot. saying that fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Is there some kind of package here I can use/find?
Edit: Got it working! thank you guys for the help!!!!
I have searched and could not find an answer to my problem.
I have not rooted my Atrix 4G. It is stock. I am selling for a friend on ebay and cannot complete the hard reset.
When I attempt to go into recovery mode by holding the down vol button and power button, it allows me to select Android recovery, however, once the Yellow Exclamation mark pops up and I try to tap bottom right corner...nothing happens.
I cannot seem to get the following menu to pop up so I can complete the reset. I have tried multiple times and no success.
My goal is to wipe the phone to Factory.
Any ideas?

It was my understanding that Gingerbread changed the menu location; instead of tapping the corner of the screen, you press volume up and volume down simultaneously to get the recovery menu. (I've replaced mine with romracer's recovery so I can't double-check, but pretty sure I read that somewhere here.)
That Worked
thanks for the help. Since I was locked out of the phone because I did not have the original SIM, this method worked.
I wanted to factory my device. It asked for samsung password. I entered wrong password by mistake. Now I cannot do factory reset. I have already changed the password through samsung dive but the one on device cannot be changed. Please help. Thanks.

Factory reset via recovery mode should work without Samsung password:
1. Shut down the phone.
2. Press Volume UP + Home + Power key as long as recovery menu appears.
3. Select wipe data / factory reset (you can go up/down with volume up/down) and select with home or power button.
4. Confirm wipe data / factory reset.
Good luck !

So when i did the reset to factory reset the device restarted but stuck in recovery mode but i cannot select any option because power button is not working. though i can scroll through the option using volume buttons.
Experts help me how to get back my system. Though i have the firware backup.
thanks in advance
Hello,
this is my dad's phone and it started rebooting by itself. When phone boots you can use it for 30 seconds and then it reboots again. I tried to factory reset from settings but nothing happens when I press ok on the last menu. So i tried opening menu when phone is booting (power button + volume down) and selecting factory reset with power button. Phone then showes red triangle with exclamation mark. After 2 minutes phone reboots itself without doing factory reset.
