PC will not identify phone in RSD or fastboot. I have tried all drivers I can find, have uninstalled and reinstalled all software, the drivers install in each mode but RSDlite or the official moto software updater will not ID the phone when connected...
I have tried 64 and 32 windows and 3 different cables just to be sure....
Anyone have an idea what to do? I have locked an unlocked this thing once before the 4.5.91 update and again after. I used the official Motorola Software Updater to "update" back to locked stock and have had this issue ever since then....
Fixed: Belkin USB print and storage drivers had to be removed.

anyone??????????????
Simple question, do you have debugging turned on? I was having a similar problem, when i realized it was off I totally face palmed myself
Yesy I have tried everything I can think of... the issue is before booting into android not after... something is blocking my phone from getting picked up by RSDlite and the moto update tool... everything in android functions fine, i have turned USB debug on and off both.
I was able to root through fastboot with no issues so it is ok, but I will be d*&$^d if I can get rsd running so I can unlock... it's not like this is new to me I have unlocked this thing twice before...

You are trying to unlock the same atrix?
Once it's unlock, it remains!
Even if it doesn't show it at booting(maybe disapeared after installing a rom..)

Nope. I am definately locked again. I flashed the official motorola GB software update over my existing GB software to attempt to revert to locked and stock again. It worked but now I am unable to unlock. RSDlite AND the same Moto update do not see my phone in RSD mode.

Actually, once a bootloader is unlocked, its unlocked for good. By reflashing to stock, all that you did was copy over pudding (the SBF file that you flashed when you unlocked the bootloader). This hides the "Unlocked" text in the top corner. To reshow this text and regain access to locked fastboot features, you must reflash pudding via the "Unlock SBF file" available here:
briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader
Im not sure why you can't get into RSD mode. Try the following:
- Insure that your volume buttons work
- Unplug phone, take out battery
- wait 10 seconds
- reinsert battery
- hold down UP (not down, I made that mistake once) volume button firmly
- press and hold power button
- phone should say "Starting RSD Mode"
To enter Fastboot mode do the same steps as above, only press the down volume button instead. When the word "FastBoot" appears, press the up volume button.
I can get into rsd and fastboot on the phone. The driver in rsd installs as se flash where it used to install as nf flash. Fastboot is working fine, I was able to reroot.
The problem is rsd does not identify my device and allow me to flash. I am thinking it is in the se flash driver instead of the previous nf flash driver.
Anyone have an opinion?

SOLVED!!!
So I figured it out! As it happens I picked up a new Belkin 750 router with networked USB support a few days back for my ext drive and printer. Apperently the Belkin drivers were the culprit! After uninstalling them everything picked up and ran like it should. Some of you devs and folks creating guides should note this in the posts so we can give folks a heads up in case it happens to them. I am sure this will happen to someone else.
What's the easiest method to unlock the bootloader on the ATRIX?
Im having a hard time getting it done.

I have followed the directions to the letter and keep getting "oem unlock is not implemented"
Im so frustrated. I cant figure out what the problem is.

By the way, Im on 2.3.4. Is that the issue?
Don't skip to 13, eat your pudding first.

This seems to work for most people. You'll get a soft brick but you'll be able to get out of it and finish the process. Read through the topic until you feel comfortable enough to try it. Also you can run the DOS file before you start the process just to see what each step tells you to do.

this worked perfect for me and it seemed to be the easiest way
In my opinion the soft brick was a headache. The briefmobile method was what ultimately worked for me. I wish I had used it sooner. The DOS method worked well for rooting though.

Were you on 2.3.4?
Ok, finally! I got it done and flashed to CM7. WOW! I love it!
I did notice some differences so I will post my experience here shortly. I will highlight the differences I found that worked for my 2.3.4 Rooted Atrix. Maybe it will help other newbs like me : )

How To: Unlock the Atrix 4G Bootloader
Prerequisites
Backed up /data partition
You will lose all of your /data during this process!
Unlock SBF file [Mirror]
RSD Lite 5.3.1 or sbf_flash [Download if Atrix is Froyo]
Fastboot package [Mirror]
Also found in the Android SDK tools folder
Instructions
If you’re on Gingerbread, skip to step 13. I had to do all steps to get it to work, but I was also on 2.3.4
Power down your Motorola Atrix
Take out your microSD card and SIM card for the flashing process
While turning the phone on, hold the Volume Up button until it acknowledges RSD
Your device will say “Starting RSD protocol support”
Run “RSD Lite” on your computer
Press the “. . .” button next to the box labeled “Filename”
Load up the SBF file
The SBF file is located inside of the .zip file, you must extract it out before loading it into RSD Lite
Use WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract the .zip file on your computer
Plug your device into your computer
Use the USB ports on the back side of your computer for safety
RSD Lite should recognize your device and say “Model: NS Flash Olympus” and “Connected…”
Press the “Start” button
Be patient while the phone reboots. It will take a long time.
Open and extract the Fastboot package from above
Open a command prompt window
On Windows, press Start and type “cmd” then press the enter button
Type the following command. Your directory will be the folder where you extracted the Fastboot package.
(Example: cd C:\Users\Kenneth\Desktop\fastboot-package)
cd your directory here
Power down your Atrix device
Hold the power button and the downward volume button until you see “Fastboot”
Let go of the buttons and press the upward volume button once
You will now see “Starting Fastboot protocol support”
Plug your device into a USB port in the back slot of your computer
Front slots sometimes do not have enough power to stay connected to the device.
Type the following command:
fastboot oem unlock
You will now receive a warning along with a unique device ID
Type the following commands using your unique device ID in place of the ####:
fastboot oem unlock ####
fastboot reboot
Wait for your device to reboot. Congratulations! You now have an unlocked bootloader!

Failed to boot 4 Starting RSD Mode
The Story:
I started having issues with the phone becoming slower and slower and crash prone so i figured this would be a good time to flash an alternate rom. I have had root for some time and i unlocked the boot loader probably about two weeks ago. I had tried a few roms by Th3Bill and i kept having issues so i thought id try to re-lock the boot loader as i couldn't flash any of his roms even with is recovery in place to see if unlocking it again would solve my issue. Also i was running 2.3.4 NOT 2.3.5 so it wasn't due to that.
I just followed the steps outlined here from Link:
Relocking without Full SBF flash
Factory reset phone Menu/Settings/Privacy/Factory Data Reset DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP
Reboot phone into fastboot mode: VOL down/Power. Use VOL down to scroll though options til you see "fastboot" then VOL up to enable. and connect phone to computer
Open command prompt in the moto-fastboot folder and type the following using the <enter> key after each command:
moto-fastboot devices
moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery stock_recovery.smg
moto-fastboot reboot
Disconnect phone from computer
Start RSD Lite on your computer
Reboot phone into RSD mode: VOL down/Power. Use VOL down to scroll though options til you see "RSD" then VOL up to enable.
Connect phone to computer.
Flash nopudding4u.sbf.
Close RSD Lite and disconnect phone.
Reboot phone
Once i completed the Flash nopuding4u.sbf step it failed giving the status: "Failed flashing process. Failed Flashing process. Phone[0000]: THe "Secure_Motorola_Flash" Interface could not be found. The super-file is secure and for re-flash; the phone needs a super-file that is not secureand not for reflash. (0x7066);Phone connec"
It is not just booting to the first Motorola Dual Core Technology splash screen and showing:
Failed to boot 4
Starting RSD Mode
I've been looking for a solution to the issue for about 30 minutes and have found nothing helpful.
Nopudding4u.sbf relocks your phone, however I would recommend using the 198_7.sbf file instead. U can still unlock with pudding.sbf but you will be able to get back running.. after u flash the stock sbf u will probably need to go into recovery and do a factory reset.

It is was initially stuck on failed to boot 2 and Starting RSD mode. Then I used RSD lite to flash the stock sbf, and my computer went to sleep in the middle of the flash and failed. Now it is stuck on Failed to boot 4, Starting RSD mode, Battery is too low to flash.
I am not in the US right now, so cannot take it to the Sprint store. PLEASE HELP!!!
This is kind of different from random reboots, because no matter what I am doing on the device or if its ideal, it does reboot around every 3 minutes.
Current version is 4.0.4 and the model of the device is Verizon xt912
System version: 6.16.211.xt912.Verizon.en.US
Kernel version: wt-3.0.0
Build no.: 6.7.2-180 ....
Build date: Jun 14, .... 2012
Another thing is, under the settings, the device is showing Baseband and IMEI - Unknown. Don't know what may have caused this. BTW, currently I am out of country (US) and I have no SIM inserted in the slot (for international GSM), I don't suppose inserting no SIM can lead to base band and IMEI = unknown?
I am no idea if this Unknow Baseband and IMEI is causing the reboot or vice-versa or if there's dependence.
What I have tried:
Wiping Cache through recovery
Reset to factory settings
Option 1 of Matt's Razr Utility 1.82

Not really, but would it be any different than restoring to ICS .211 using Matt's Razr Utility?
Can you tell me where I can find the official FXZ for Razr to flash?
It will be different cause stock fxz includes every part of the firmware while matts utility can only install certain parts of it like the system, boot etc.
The RSD simply doesn't detect the device. USB drivers are installed and gets detected fine with Matt's Razr Utility.
Tried different RSD versions. I also tried replacing all the radio, system, boot img and all other files in the Matt's Razr Utility with the FXZ which I was trying to restore back to. It said it did successfully flashed to 211 but the problem is still there.
I think if there's any way to change the base band from Unknown to the original, this problem can be corrected. Any ideas for this?
I cant say why RSD wont detect your device but "Baseband unknown" could be a Bad ESN or a blocked device and a corrupt PDS partition in the worst case..
That said if you do have any of the above your CDMA.XX.XXX baseband is most probably useless what you could try is to get your device to switch to a GSM baseband N.01.XXX and make use of the device with any operational GSM service in your country.
In order to do that root your device install Safestrap and flash any of the GSM roms available.
Try that and tell me the results.

I'll try that and let you know.
While trying to get it to work, I cannot find the EFS folder. I am using Android Commander on PC to browse the files and folders of the device. Its right at the very root, i.e at the location " / " right? Where there are folders like Sys, System, Root, preinstall, preoc etc
You've installed motorola usb drivers,
When the phone is powered off, hold both VOLUME UP + DOWN buttons and press POWER button. You'll get into bootmenu. Release the buttons and navigate with VOLUME DOWN to AP FASTBOOT mode, press VOLUME UP to get into AP FASTBOOT MODE. Connect the phone to pc, launch RSD Lite ( newest version 6.1.4 )
If it detects the phone, flash stock xt912 ics rom.

I don't know why but the RSD lite does not detect the phone. USB drivers are installed and working fine because matt's razr utility detects the phone (before it wasn't).
You may need to run RSD Lite as Administrator for it to work on Win 7/8.
You need to get it to successfully complete flashing the radios in recovery after it finishes the other partitions.
It should reboot into recovery by itself and flash the BP.img and LTE.img and then reboot again normally after it has completed.
That should fix the Baseband unknown and blank IMEI issue.

That is RSD Lite 6.1.4 the latest available version. Try it and see if you have any better results.
Can you use ADB ?!
And Did you try any of the GSM roms ?!

I am uploading a zip file that is just the radio_update_211_RAZR.zip in the radio.img from the 211 FXZ.
You will need to put the file on the root of your sdcard. Since the phone isn't booting, the easiest way is to take out the sdcard and put it in a card reader on your PC to transfer the file. Then reinsert the sdcard in your phone and reboot the phone holding Vol up and down + PWR to get to the boot menu and select recovery.
The phone will boot to M logo and then blank screen briefly and then show the stock recovery with Android and red Exclamation !. Press both Vol up and down at the same time to enter recovery and chose Apply Update from External Storage option and browse to the update_radio_211_RAZR.zip and select it.
It should load lte.img and bp.img and then reboot automatically.
This should allow the phone to boot normally and display the baseband and IMEI again if everything works as described.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7632904/update_radio_211_RAZR.zip
This will avoid the need for RSD Lite if it works. If not, then you can try using fastboot to manually flash the images from the FXZ.
press all three bttn,on black and white menu scroll down and select "BP HW Diag & Boot AP" boot will boot up ,see if phone restarts on its on or not and lemme know ...

so both of us are in a same boat my phone acts the same and if i use matts utility i file gets created everytime in my phones internal storage named "update_radio.zip.failure"
If you're using BMM or SAFESTRAP 3.10 with stock ROM flashing enabled I can make you a flashable patch that will allow GSM services to work on the stock ROM itself !?
I'm only trying to help cause I've owned 2 RAZR's previously with the same condition. As I stated earlier if a radio flash or FXZ doesn't fix it then it is a corrupt PDS partition and it cannot be fixed to work on the CDMA baseband.

I tried unlocking the bootloader an atrix that was given to me about a month ago, and it had 3.4.6 (or something like that) and I couldn't find an unlocker for that version so I tried the one for the previous version, which failed at some point in the process and now it just boots to "Failed to boot 1". I've been trying every method I can find to try to fix this, I even bought the little red adapter to change any cable into a dev cable, and i know it works because if I power it on with the volume up key pressed it says "power reason: factory cable".
I've tried RSD lite when connected with the adapter, but device properties stays blank. I tried loading an image and pressing start but nothing happens. The computer is seeing the phone but it says that it doesn't recognize the device. Also, if I start it with the volume up pressed it goes STRAIGHT to the fastboot protocol thing, I never get the option to choose RSD protocol. "fastboot devices" is just blank.
I tried it on several different computers with the same results.
Is this a hard brick? Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Did you install the windows drivers?

If you power on while pressing volume-up, it should go straight to fastboot since it's the first option available. What happens when you reboot with volume-down?
Also, if the phone says "Starting fastboot protocol support" it's not hard-bricked, even if it's seriously screwed up at the moment. If it says "Entering NVFlash recovery mode," that's the point where it's toast (from the user end anyway).
With your phone in fastboot, does your computer recognize either of the SD cards? Have you re-downloaded the Motorola drivers, just to be sure? If "fastboot devices" comes back blank, then either the phone isn't truly in fastboot mode or the drivers aren't up to date.

This isn't a hard brick:good:
when you boot your phone don't hold down the volume button, then hit the volume down button right when the menu comes up. Then just cycle through and hit RSD and that should do it
here is a thread specifically talking about fixing this issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528729
also, in the future I would recommend using this tool for unlocking and rooting your phone, it's no sweat, and this tool even has an automatic fix for your current problem. if I'm not mistaken..I'm not totally sure
here is the thread where the automatic BL unlocker came from, though the link there is broken http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871

Powered on with volume-up it goes to:
Failed to boot 1
PwrReason: FACTORY_CABLE
Starting Fastboot protocol support
With power down (which I didn't know about), I see something flash on the screen really fast and then it goes blank. The computer recognizes it, but it still says "unknown device".
I recently downloaded the Motorola Device Manager from here: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
This machine is Windows 8, but I also tried it on a Windows 7 machine with the same result.
With the phone in fastboot, as above, it the computer doesn't see the internal storage, but it doesn't have an SD card in it, I will put one in it today and see what happens.
I've downloaded the above software fresh on each of the three machines I have tried this on, two Windows 8 machines, and one Windows 7.
Thanks for the suggestions, I really appreciate it.

Great, I'm glad to know it's not hard bricked!
When I boot the phone with nothing pressed, it goes straight to a single line:
Failed to boot 1
I never get the menu. Also, just tried some presses of the button as it was booting up and found that I don't need to hold either power up or down. If I power it on, and when it stops at failed to boot 1, I can press the power up once and it goes to the fastboot protocol support screen or power down and the screen goes blank.
I'll check out the links you posted, thanks!
Failed to boot 1 should be the same as rsd mode.

As I understood you wanted to unlock bootloader and failed. So I suggest you to try automatized bootloader unlock tool(@thewarhawk give you link) and then fix the "Failed to boot 1" because if you failed something now you probably hard brick your device I have experience whit one of my atrix. So I in your situation will do that:
1) manually in fastboot (better in win7) fastboot oem unlock (I just doest know command for unique device id in fastboot so it need you to search in xda)
2) then flash fully system partition whit fastboot
3) and then if device doesn't boot correctly try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528729 as you early said @thewarhawk
Hi, the problem is the windows 8 drivers,First download this. Then you need to boot the phone in fastboot mode, then go in device manager then you will see fastboot with an exclamation mark. Right click on it and select update drivers. Next do search for a driver on my computer, Then you do choose from a drivers list (or something along those lines). Select ADB interface -> Motorola -> Mot composite ADB interface. You will get a warning, say yes anyway then bang... your phone is detected by adb and fastboot.
