[Q] Is it bricked, please help. - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
Help needed.
I followed the guide to unlock the Atrix MB860 running on froyo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
After flashing the sbf file, it restarted and showed "failed to boot, entering in RSD mode". As it was given in instruction that this would happen and is called soft brick. So I restarted the phone trying to go in fastboot, but its not entering in fastboot, Screen gets on and it gets off immediately and nothing happens. Thought if powered on it shows:
SVF:108:1:2
Failed to boot 3
Starting RSD mode.
Please guide me out of this situation.
Thanks

Need Help. Soft bricked phone

Hello,
I have a rooted and BL unlocked atrix.
Tried to use rom manager to install CWM. Tried to go into recovery but now it is saying: "Failed to boot 2" and under that "Starting RSD mode".
I have pulled battery and no luck.
Please help
Well cant enter fastboot either. Was going to try to flash tenfar's CWM but when i hold down the power and vol down key it it displays the before mentioned error and turns the phone off a millisecond later.
Good news however is that RSD still picks up the phone. I will go home and try to flash the pudding sdf again and see if i can get it to boot up that way. If anyone else has any ideas, let me know please.
flashed pudding using rsd lite and it booted up. Lost root but apps stayed.

Need help to recover phone (SPB Lite failing to re-enumerate)

Hey guys, I just got a Motorola Photon that I was trying to install the Photon Laser P.ROM
I think I messed up trying to install the SBF file with RSD Lite. (Was following these intructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202666 but I forgot to restart the phone into RSD mode the first time I did it).
I proceeded to install the CWM Boostrap loader and boot into recovery and try to install the Photon Laster P.ROM. The ROM had appeared to install fine, but when waiting for it to boot for the first time it got stuck in a boot loop where it hung at the Motorola Logo (After the Dual Processor screen).
I went back and re-read instructions and realized I didn't boot into the RSD mode when installing that part, but when I went to try it again I get a "USB device not recognized error" when RSD Lite tries to re-enumerate. The screen on my Photon also gets glitchy... it's a black screen with a bunch of still noise (kinda like a bunch of polluted snow).
Can anyone point me in the direction of how to fix it?
I've tried pulling the battery and trying again. I've booted into Android recovery and whiped Data and tried again, but I'm still stuck.
When I boot the device into RSD mode and I try to run RSDLite with the SBF file from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202666) it creates the image then just keeps giving me that glitched screen look. I've tried other USB ports, other cords, other laptops.
edit: I can't seem to boot into CWM either, if I have my phone plugged into the wall and turn it on it either stalls at the Dual Core screen, or the screen after that with the pulsing logo.
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250697 and watch the video about un-bricking your device. you just have to flash the stock sbf file.

Video points to this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202666 I had already tried this sbf file yesterday. When I try to flash to it, the phone reboots after creating the image and just goes to a glitched looking screen. RSDLite then failed to re-enumerate.
The video suggests trying different cables or usb ports. I did both of those and even tried a different computer.
edit: Also, the XDA thread linked above has a broken link to its sbf file.
Getting the same issue. Tehxno where u able to fix?
edit: error fixed by downgrading to 154 and then updating from there.
I'm having the same issue although my phone has now been hard reset (with some unfortunate signs of root/rom) and is trying to go thru intitial setup (touch the android) AND IT WILL NOT GO PAST THAT POINT. Just keeps force closing every app in the book.....an fix? other than rsd and sbf

[Q] Help with unlocking Atrix Bootloader

So I attemptted to unlock my bootloader for the Atrix, 2.3.4, and it was already rooted. I was using this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 and using the following video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6a0BWquqAc.
Now I was at the screen where it said that the Boot Failed and I took out my battery and put it back in. Now I am stuck on this screen.
SVF:105:1:2
Failed to boot 0x1000
PwrReason: PWT_KEY_PRESS
Starting Fastboot Protocol Support
It has been on this screen for a while now and I am very confused on what to do and how to do it. Any Answers? Did I brick my phone? How do I unbrick? I have tried to take out the battery and did a lot of combinations but nothing is working. I'm sorry, I am a noob at this. Thanks, any help would be appreciated

[Q] Failed to boot 4 Starting RSD Mode. Please, please, please help!

So, yesterday I got my Atrix 4G, everything stock, tried to install GreyBlur, which is actually a froyo skin and my Atrix was running 2.3.4, so it didn't work. I got stuck at the "dual core technology" boot screen. A member here gave me this:
"There is a one click batch script created by Alaq to revert phones back to stock 2.3.4."
So I tried that and now, because I didn't unlock my bootloader (or so I've been told), I'm stuck at the screen
Failed to boot 4
Starting RSD Mode
So I was told to use RSD and to flash an SBF file, a 2.3.4 SBF (My phone was running 2.3.4 when I got it.
I can't access fastboot or RSD. But since the error says "Starting RSD mode", I decided to try and connect my phone from there.
RSD lite saw my phone as SE Flash Olympus. In a guide on this site, I saw that it's supposed to be NS Flash Olympus, but I tried to flash it anyways. It failed and now I'm still on Failed to boot 4/Starting RSD Mode.
Now I don't know what to do. The phone was running 2.3.4 last time it worked and the boot loader is still locked.
Please help me. I'm a complete android n00b. My parents got me this phone as a gift and I feel absolutely awful. Please help me so I don't have a $250 paperweight.

Cant get into RSD mode

I think I bricked my device big time in an effort to return to stock. I flashed 4.5.141 and later got a system update while bootloader was unlocked. I got Failed to boot 4.
Later, I tried to relfash the same 4.5.141 sbf and it failed to flash and I got "Failed to boot 1".
Now, I thought I will try to flash again using RSD lite and tried to get into RSD Mode using Vol Down+Power. I am supposed to see options to navigate to RSD and press Vol Up. The first option appears for half a second and the screen turns off.
I am not sure what this behavior is. However, it stays on if battery is low. It stays in NV Flash mode with a message "Battery too low... blah"
I tried to put into fastboot mode and did "fastboot reboot-bootloader". It rebooted but it does not get into RSD Lite mode. It just shows Failed to boot 1. I know how to fix Failed to Boot 1 issue. But this failure to enter RSD mode is killing..
Any one encountered this? Any help here please?
I got out of this problem by using sbf_flash and unlocked the bootloader (with pudding one). That unlocked my bootloader and my Vol Down+Power menu was accessible. And, I went to recovery, performed a wipe and rebooted.
Voila.. It booted very well. I am now in the latest stock. I went all the way from 2.3.6->4.1->4.4.4->Mokee 5.0 and then back to sweet old stock 2.3.6.
My experience with Atrix had been awesome from 2013 where i installed CM 10. It is a great phone and now it works as a music player for me.
