[Q] Can't start fastboot mode - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, as the title says I can't start de fastboot mode. After some problems trying to root my Atrix 4G and changing the firmware (to brasil retail) I decided to unlock the bootloader. First I flash the unlock.sbf without problems, but for the next step I need to start the fastboot mode to use the raiden's script. I tried holding power button & vol- but it starts in rsd mode. I also tried to remove and put the baterry and holding the volume buttons, quickboot app, reboot widget, root reboot, release the vol button when the led turns on or the motorola logo appears, I tried everything. Any solution? Thank you and sorry for my english.

I "T!"ink I know you...
Have you tried turning on the phone, release power button and then hold vol- button? Works for me (althrough i dont have problems if i hold both buttons)

This should work. I had constant reboot cycle. To get into RSD I had to time holding the volume up button for when the reboot cycle started, before the green LED came on so that I could get to RSD. If you press the volume button at the wrong time it will reboot again.
could it be that you flashed a SBF to a ME860 and not a MB860?

Hey bor , you mean if I hold the volume up before the "Green LED " show up
I could get to the RSD mode ?? "Starting RSD protorcal....."
but I have been tried many many time ... no matter when I hold the volume up button ... It still reboot again and again ... ><
I think the problem is that Atrix "can not " get into RSD mode before it reboot ...
so that Atrix "can not" flash another SBF from computer ...
Does anyone have any idea for this problem ??

Pull the battery, put it in, hold volume down, power on and continue holding volume down until you see Fastboot on the screen. Then you can go into RSD and then you should be able to use RSDLite to flash.

Try holding volume down instead of up. If that doesn't work try it with the power button. Then you can get back to RSD protocol and flash the correct sbf to get you back working.

I installed the thing where after you install a rom you boot into recovery but the rom skipped it even tho i installed the zip after i flashed the rom aswell..
I managed to get into AP Fastboot flash mode but i don't know how to flash my phone back to stock...can someone please help??
You can turn off the phone by pressing simultaneously
power and volume down (-) buttons about 5 secs.
Then yuo can think about what i can to do next ;-)

My phone is in boot loop right now and when I hit power and vol down, my phone with continually vibrate for about 5 seconds and then the screen goes out... but then it just boots up again
You can try push volume down button (and keep it pressed down)
at the same moment that screen goes out, maybe you can reach
AP Fastboot-mode in this way?
Well I can get to the menu for AP Fastboot
But im at work.. i dont have the file or RSDLight here at work.
But I can get to the recovery and it gives me the option for "factory reset" or "apply update from SDcard".
If I have a backup from bootstrap, can I use that file under the "apply update from SDcard" option?
EDIT: No you cant apply from SD (a recovery)
I think that yuo can't use backup from bootstrap via Motorolas recovery...
Maybe only way is install correct OFFICIAL Motorola ROM via AP fastboot.

Here is also good RSD alternative for flashing:

you close but it goes against what he just said. Once ur device powers.of press the volume keys then hold the power button ...it'll put u in recovery. You then need to scroll down twice I think to fast boot and press the up key to select....
You can only go down in this recovery. When you press up it selects. You will then need to follow a.vid on YouTube called how to restore Droid RAZR

Cannot boot into fastboot and get a boot animation loop. Anything to do?

Hello guys.
I installed CyanogenMod 7 but I forgot to wipe cache and dalvik cache (I guess that's what caused the problem). Now I get a loop in the cyanogen boot animation. I cannot go into fastboot (by pressing power on + vol down) nor RSD mode. Is there anything I could try to save my phone? (Atrix 4g; I installed this ROM atrix-dev-team - Development of CyanogenMod & other fun stuff for the Motorola Atrix - Google Project Hosting )
Thank you so much.
Wrong forum. Should be in Q&A!
You tried Vol - with power button?

He already said he can't get into fastboot like that.
OP you sure you can't get into fastboot or recovery? Are you trying to do it when bootlooping? Try pulling battery, then replacing it. Hold volume down, press power button and then let it go keeping volume down pressed. Or try the same but press volume up to go right to fastboot.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Hello guys. Yes, I have tried that, many times. I have pulled the battery several times, recharge it completely, things like that.
But, it still gets stuck in the "Unlocked Fastboot" screen or bootlooping in the cyanogen splash screen.
Any other ideas? Thank you so much.
Nevermind!
So you get the Fastboot unlocked message. And? Thats pretty much all you see on fastboot. Does the PC not talk to it at that point? Does it show "Starting Fastboot protocol support" after tapping volume up?
Are you instead trying to boot into recovery? Hold volume down and press power on to start. When the fastboot message appeares, release volume down, then tap volume down until you see Android recovery, then press volume up.
Thank you Genomerio. I was able to do an Android Recovery... I didn't know there were more options than Fastboot and RSD. I restore my previous backup and all is working now.
Thank you so much...

Quick way to enter bootloader?

i keep seeing tut vids with everyone holding buttons down till you see the flashes etc. however if power down completely then just hold the vol down for 1 - 2 sec, then give the power button a quick push (no need to hold it down at all. just press it like you are turning it on) while continuing to hold vol down you'll go straight into boot loader (release vol down when you enter bootloader).

Erm, no disrespect intended, but isn't this how we've always gone into the bootloader? I didn't realize there was another way, outside of an APM in a ROM or through ADB.
Nite sure if this is what you're looking for but I use "quick boot" from the market.
One click for reboot, recovery, bootloader or power off.

I forget the button combination. But you can always do

HELP!!!

Hello, I'm new on this site, and already I need help.
Here is problem:
I rooted my Xperia S, and I regret for that (it's kind of slower, and I hate that) but beside that, I was trying to find solution to speed it up. U flashed the kernelV2, I mean that I think I was xD And then my wifi didn't work. So I googled up a lil bit, and find the kernel named "DooMKernel". I followed instructions and nothing, so I shut down my phone, actually reset it (holding POWER buton and VOLUME UP until it vibrates 3 times), and after that nothing, my phone wont turn on. As I remember my phone was at 35% of battery. And only hope that I have is, when I plug USB in my laptop, it makes a sound of connected device, and install SEMC Flash Device . I'm very afraid that my phone is broken, cause, I have it about 10 days, and I'm new android user. Don't take me too noob, I read lot of forums, tips, solutions, but in the end, I'm new in all this.
So, please does anyone have any solutions, what can I do? Please! (P.S. my phone is plugged in charger for about half of hour, without any response or light)
Thank you all, anyway.
Are you on ics rom? If yes doomkernel wont work
Connect phone to pc in fastboot mode by pressing power and vol up hold it till the first vibrate now release only the power button if the led turns blue flash the xsx kernel (example)
If you are on gb rom try to reinstall the system using pccompanion enter flasode by pressing power and vol up till the first vibrate now only push vol down and flash

Thank you for response.
I tried that, to put it in fastboot mode, nothing. My phone doesnt show any kind of led light in any situations (red when is in charger, blue in fastboot mode, green is flashmode). Only when I connect my phone on laptop it makes a sound of new device connected named SEMC Flash Device. I was thinking to fall apart my phone, to put out battery, maybe that would help.
It helped!!!! I didn't see your answer very well. Thank you!!! Is there anyway to put phone back unrootet, cause I don't like it, its kind of slowy

try this:
hold the power button + volume up then wait till it vibrates 3 times, your phone will power off,
1. install flashtool
2. download ftf
3. paste the ftf on c:\firmwares\
4. open flashtool then click the lighting icon, choose fastmode, choose ftf and wait until it says (power off phone then connect via fastmode), since your phone is power off all u need to do is to connect the phone and then hold the power button+ volume down.
5. then it will reinstall your firmware.
6.after installing unplug your phone then power it on.
voila its working now
