[Q] trouble booting up CM 10.1 - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed CM 10.1 and gAPPS(using cwmr), (I noticed that it took a LOT shorter than usual), and followed the instructions flawlessly, and when I was done with everything, I rebooted the phone, and nothing happened it went to the motorola logo and stayed there. I let it sit for a half an hour, and nothing happened. So I pulled out the battery, and loaded up CWMR again, I tried flashing it again making sure I did every step on the instructions and the same thing happened. After that, it wouldnt even boot up if I held down the power/sleep button, So I plugged it in to my computer, and it went to the motorola logo after about 2 minutes of a dark screen with the green LED on. I'm at a point where the only way I can power on the device is plugging it in to the charger. What would I have to do to install it successfully? Should I just go back to CM 10? and if so do I use a Micro SD card?

Did you wipe everything down properly? Did you use the correct gapps version for 4.2.2? Did you have a fully charged battery?

I'm sure I did, yes. Yes I used the same one that was on the page I downloaded it from ( linuxmobile.org/atrix/cm10-1 ) and I'm sure I was at least at 50% I'm not sure if it was fully charged though.

How can I find that out? The file is called "cm-10.1-20130826-UNOFFICIAL-epinter-olympus.zip" if that's what you were looking for.

I have not.. Is there another one I could try that actually works? also, I'm not having to wait ten minutes for the phone to boot up anymore. It boots, and sits at the "dual core technology" screen.

Is there a specific one that works(for you)? If so, which one? (I need to get this fixed ASAP.)

When it comes to ICS/JB ROMs, don't ever ask for "one that works". If you need a quick fix, go back to GB.

Personally, I've had no issues booting up on any ICS/JB ROM so far. the only thing that has been an issue is the touch screen. I made an error back in July/Aug to flash an alternate kernel, thinking that it would help. in the end, it killed half of my touchscreen.

How do I make my Fascinate more efficient?

Four words: I hate my Fascinate. Is there any way I can make my Fascinate faster, more responsive, and just work better? I've used Com rom, Cyanogenmod, & MIUI and none of them work for me. Community rom seemed to work best for me but about a month of running com rom, it just started forceclosing everything and I lost everything. Then, I went to Cyanogenmod. It was amazing, but I noticed it deleted things off of my SD card by itself. For MIUI. It was just a little to buggy. I just gave up and went to stock and installed OCLF. For some reason, my phone isn't very responsive, it constantly freezes, crashes all the time, the camera app doesn't want to open sometimes, and just today it started not opening up my apps and showing a black screen. I'm sick of it!!! How do I make my Fascinate work better? I'm stuck with it for 2 years and I can't stand it!? Any suggestions??? Ill do whatever it takes to make this thing work better.

Im not sure how to respond to this...I mean my fascinate is running cm7.1 w/ glitch v13 and is ****ing AWSOME! Super responsive, gps locks instantly, no lag, no fc's... Im going to go out on a limb and say you must be doing something very wrong or have a bad device.
Suggestion:
back your sd card up, odin dl09 eclair w/ pit and repartition checked, reformat your sd card, then flash rom of your choice. If that dont help, call verizon and have them send you a replacement.
I've never flashed a "pit" thing. I've just flashed the froyo file and called it a "restore." Also, I got a 16gb card withmy phone and it won't flash any CM7 roms, so I bought an 8 from eBay. Did the same thing... I have an old 4 gb that is the only card that will flash a cm7 based rom. Also, if I put my 16/8gb on a cm7 rom, it'll say damaged or unreadable.

I notices you said something about using the factory USB. Well, there's something wrong with that cord. My computer won't reconfbize my phone with that cord. When I try to charge it with my wall adapter, my phone wants me to connect USB storage. I've been using this cord that came with a crappy archos tablet. I've been using that 1 for months. Is that OK?

Try removing the battery completely, then hold down the down volume key and plug the USB cord in and don't let go until it's in download mode. Then replace the battery into the phone. This method has always worked for me. Hopefully it does for you too

Usually takes 10 seconds lol yeah make sure the computer has Samsung drivers installed and try the OEM USB cord. Although I have used non OEM cords before and worked just fine... I'm very very surprised that taking the battery out, then holding the down key and plugging in simultaneous didn't work.

Help please, think I killed it!

Hi.
I was plaing with the CM9 A4 release and decided to go back to my regular setup. Well my nandroid some how got wiped so that left me doing it all from scratch.
I done all the prorper steps of goning back to 2.3.4, rooting, upg, and flashing Eclipse.
Sigh...
Well now when i try to open an app in my phone it FC's immediately. Worse thing is the settings / file manager does this as well. I tried shutting down and booting the Android Recovery and doing a factory retore / data wipe and when it came back up and I get it setup (still in eclipse) I get the same thing.
I thought about ADB to the phone with BSR and see if I could get that to boo but ADB doesn't see my device or I am not doing something right there. (I can switch the USB modes) I am thinking it doesn't see the phone because I can't get into Setting to enable Debug and Third Party Installs.?
Please, any and all help is appreciated as I am at a lost here.
Thanks, Slim!

Phone bricked? Need help!

I just got my rezound today as a replacement for my tbolt. Everything was fine until I updated the software for ics. The phone just turned off after I pressed ok to install. Now, even after a hard reset, I get stuck at the splash screen. Was gonna run to verizon tomorrow but wanted to exhaust all of my options which would not void the warranty. Thanks!

[Q] Bricked?

Stock ROM, Rooted and Unlocked.
Phone did the OTA update from today (5/2/13), rebooted to the green android, progress got to about 3/4 done and the screen goes black, battery was full charge.
Phone will not come on now, no button combinations work, computer (odin or toolkit) does not see the phone.
Are there any other options that I can try?
Did you do a battery pull?

Stated that in the OP, battery was full when I started the update. Only took it about 5 minutes before it went black, so I know the battery isn't the issue.
You may have bricked your phone. You're not supposed to run the update if you're rooted and unlocked, something about it not being able to update with a custom recovery. I almost made the same mistake.

Yeah, is kind of pointless now, but again, the keyword was should have a replacement, knowing Verizon, I will likely get screwed. But if I can somehow get this one back up and going, I can tell them to cancel it.

Same exact thing happened to me . Chk this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249146
Only way to recover is a RIFF / JTAG . I even tried the 300 KOhm and 301 KOhm jig to get it into Download mode and nothing ...... So its def a *REAL* brick that needs expert equipment or a factory service.
