so I recently uninstalled safestrap and unrooted my phone because I was planning on selling it. after I did all that I booted back into the stock rom and did a data factory reset...after I need that the problems started.
now everytime I boot, the setup wizard app force closes. so I cant set up my phone by choosing my language or telling it my name...all that good stuff. and because of that problem I cant press my home button to go to my homescreen. I have to go to make settings and way for the play store to say I have updates. install a launcher and use it just by pressing the back button.
so what I was going to do was re root, install safestrap and figure out how to reflash a stock rom or upgrade to jb. but when I install safestrap and reboot. nothing happens. it skips right passed the safestrap screen and just boots normally..
so my question is, what can I do to fix this?? I need this fix bye tomorrow night and need the money for bills, so somebody please enlighten me lol

Dear all,
This is the first time I have use an android device, and I have search many forums with no solution. So, thanks for everyone's time in helping me out.
1) I have root the Atrix.
2) I install Bloat Freezer from the market.
3) Install GoLauncher from market.
4) I freeze the 'home' app or system process (I'm not sure what term to use) using the bloat freezer.
Everything was fine. Untill, I decided to give this phone to my sister and from the phone instruction, I need to erase everything to factory default in order to get rid of my market account (no sure if this is the only option, but that's what the phone reflect when I try to delete my account). then, I
1) go the settings > privacy and run the reset factory default.
2) Did not defrost the 'home' app.
After the phone get back to factory default, I manage to get back to the initial stage of Motoblur setup. After setting up, the funny thing comes. There is only blank screen with a notification bar and nothing else. The lockscreen still works and double tap on the home button startup browser and hold on the search button goes to voice command. So I think the phone works, but without the GUI.
My so call solution,
The bloat freezer developer is very nice to send me an apk to defrost everything I had freeze. So,
1) I need to install the apk without the GUI. ( I found a way which not sure if works, by using a software to sideload using PC.
2) Using a Update.zip to install the apk (which I seriously don't know how to do it as I am just starting to use android)
3) Any way to defrost using adb (which also requires USB debugging enable).
Problem: I can only do it with USB debugging enable. Which is impossible as the phone is freshly reset and I cannot enable the USB debugging using the phone without a GUI.
Help:
Is there anyone who knows how to enable the USB debugging without using the phone?
Or direct me to settings using any shortcuts?
Or any other solutions? Flashing the sbf is my last resort.
Hope my explanation of my problem is clear and thanks to everyone who has view this thread and try to help me or give me suggestion.
Flash a fresh sbf, instructions and files are in the dev forum, I'd give you a link if I wasn't on my phone

Thank you for your advise. I saw the thread in flashing sbf. but this is my last resort or is this my only option? I really hope not. First time using android, flashing sbf is kind of a big step for me
wait!!1 don't flash!!! hold down home button to bring up latest apps and click on blotware freezer and unfreeze it

Unfortuanately, I reset to factory default makes the app not there anymore. So the only to defrost is the apk from the Bloatware freezer developer.
If you already did a reset and you don't have anything on the phone I would just do the sbf since you don't have anything to lose.

In the future (hopefully it won't happen again) you can log into your market account on a computer and download any old launcher. It will be pushed to your phone and from there you can then unfreeze your prefered launcher and swith back to it.

I have the same problem, only early stage.
I just rooted my phone, for the first time, installed Bloat Freezer, Froze Moto Blur HOME which has caused an error which I can’t get passed to fix and unfreeze.
The error states Sorry, the application home process has stopped working. Please try again. Force Close.
So, what is the easiest way to fix this without going too far down the rabbit hole?
That said my disgust with Moto Blur has got me this far, I’m sure it could take me further.
Thanks for your help.
Hello Everyone.
Im having a bit of a problem. Im running the unoffifial beta 2v4 the latest one by flapjaxx. The rom to me in my opinion was running fine until i downloaded all the inverted app for this rom throu the update tools function. I was pretty happy with my choice of rom i loved it. The problem began when my phone started to jam up when looking at my inverted contacts menu, the phone would give me a quick hiptic vibrate and then restart my apex launcher..So long sory short I factory reset the phone and now i can get into the settings menu. Phone states App not installed. i wiped the cach clean and did 3 factory resets btw and It still wont let me into the Settings..The phone now says settings is blocked for security reasons.. what the heck did I do wrong

you can try titanium backup..see if settings is in there and restore it(at your own risk, but its worth a shot), OR start from scratch and re-flash ROM. (do a back up of course!!!
good luck!!!
I installed eclipse for ICS with no problem. I then restored everything using Titanium backup. When I rebooted, however, a prompt eventually come up saying something like problem with Eclipse launcher. After two more reboot attempts with the same results, I went to the startup menu, and changed it to reboot without safestrap. (I honestly can't remember why I did it, but regret immediately followed .) Now, when I reboot, it tries to start the stock ROM and gets stuck on the red electric eye. Every time I reboot now, I get to that same point and it goes no further. I can't even access the startup menu anymore. Can someone please help me?

You have to unlock bootloader to install jelly bean rom and since you have 2.3.5 its impossible to do unless 2.3.5 was on there when bought.

What i mean by 2.3.5 being already on there is if it came from motorola with it on there and not being updated to 2.3.5
Download the rsd lite, moto fastboot and pudding files from here

And then follow the photon pudding bootloader unlock section on this.

Did you try pressing the menu button? And yes once you unlock the bootliader you can install jelly bean roms and such.
So I've been running KitKat via CM11 nightlies for quite a while now and about every other week the I lose signal and have to reflash stock. I Use Razr Utility (http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...-verizon-droid-razr-and-droid-razr-maxx-only/) to flash stock, get signal, reroot, and reinstall SafeStrap. Have done it I think like 80 times or so now.
Today when I did it, when I pressed start at the Setup Wizard it said "Preparing may take a few minutes ... blah blah" then it reboots. I rebooted and tried again, over and over it won't get past the language selection, and if I leave it alone for a few minutes w/o pressing anything it will reboot on its own still; it continually reboots over and over. Also I am no longer getting service back on a fresh stock flash. I have tried 1.8/1.82/newest of RAZR Utility, all received the same result. So I tried House of Moto with 2 different VZW firmwares (2 newest JB) and still same result.
I was able to get root w/o having to mess with Smart Actions and then use ADB w/ su and PM to disable all the setupwizard BS so I could install SS and get back to CM11. (Setup Wizard is locked and no way to bypass, even tried build.prop tweaks to turn it off and nothing) Now on CM11 it is liking to randomly reboot whenever it feels like it too; that is if it even boots back into CM11 after rebooting, sometimes it makes it all the way to CM11, sometimes it doesn't.
Does anyone know WTF is going on with my device and how to fix it. I'm going to try and get a new SIM tomorrow and see my SIM fried or something (though I never received the "No SIM" error). I'm honestly about to chuck this phone through the friggin wall....
Update: Was finally able to get CM11 to stop rebooting, upgraded to newest nightly and wiped Dalvik & Cache, and Fix Permissions. Signal has sort of come back, it goes in and out; very finicky.
Update 2: Service is completely gone and can't get it back now.
