I have tried to flash my phone but have had no success due to the problems with Windows 7. While going through the flashing process, the battery died. Unlike the Samsung Captivate, the phone will not charge (not as a fact, only as I have noticed) unless it is "on". Therefore I am unable to continue the flashing process since I get the message: "Failed to boot 4
Starting RSD mode
Battery is too low to flash"
So my first question is: How do I charge the battery if I can't get the phone to boot?
My second question is: Can anybody help me unbrick the Atrix using Windows 7 IF I can get the battery charged?
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I would rather send a donation to an xda helper than have to pay Motorola to get this phone working again.

Is it an actual brick or soft brick? What is the win7 problem your referring to? Please explain and maybe I could help?
I think you may have to get a development USB cable that actually powers the unit while flashing, I may be wrong but you can make the cable. I stand to be corrected.
I don't get it could't they just pull the battery to stop the boot loop then plug it into a wall charger? shouldnt that charge it?!

Did this on my phone once, I just took my battery down to best buy and asked one of the guys to charge it in the demo unit. Went and got lunch and came back.
As stated the only way to charge it at this point is with a Dev cable
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
If you connect directly the red wire of an usb cable where the battery connects to phone, phone will think is fully charged.off course the battery must be in its place correctly inserted.
Worked with milestone and atrix, did it myself
I exchanged batteries at the at&t store. I downloaded the latest version of rsd lite and this time it it ran through the flashing process and PASSED. However, when the Atrix tries to reboot, the same thing happens:
Failed to boot 4
starting RSD mode
If I am having successful flashing, what do I do now? PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks for your replies.
Your problems aren't with Windows 7.
Was your battery charged fully when you flashed?
What sbf are you trying to flash?
Your symptoms sound like those of a flash with the wrong sbf for your phone model.
Yea if you have a buddy or go to the store you could swap them batteries if they go for it.

I flashed this sbf,
OLYFR_U4_1.2.6_SIGNED_OLPSATTSPE_P012_HWolympus_1g_1FF.sbf
and this one.
OLYFR_U4_1.8.3_SIGNED_OLPSATTSPE_P013_HWolympus_1g_Service1FF.sbf
Both had the same results, both flashed successfully, both stated that they passed the flashing process, and both times I still get the "failed to boot 4" error message.
4.1.26 should flash fine. The 4.1.83 you have there is a service sbf. Need to get 4.1.57 on there before flashing that. When you are able to I would flash the 4.1.57 sbf, then OTA to 4.1.83. No need to do 4.1.26.
Beamed in from WinBorg 4G via XDA Premium app
Just flash the 1.5.7 sbf and bring the phone to att for warranty.

I've flashed from 1.26 to 1.83 with no issues several times with the service SBF. The "service" part just means it's not wiping /data.
The 1.26 SBF is a good starting point. The error you're getting is because the signature check is failing on the device. Where did you get the phone from?
I bought the phone from the at&t store. The problem started when my son pulled the usb cable from the computer while it was in the flashing process! (a serious no no). The good news is that I called Motorola about the issue and explained that the phone is rooted. I told them that I read in numerous forums (including Motorola's forums) that rooted phones would not be covered by the warranty. He put me on hold and checked with his supervisor then told me that they would not charge me for the repair! (thank GOD!) So my Atrix is on its way back to Motorola as I type.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help, these forums are great!
Also, I think Caelan T is right, the problem is not with Windows 7. A lot of people complained about the "grayed out" start button. None of this was a problem with the latest version of the RSDlite program from Motorola. It loaded the sbf file from the directory just fine. I did not need to change the file name, move it to the C: drive, or use the drag and drop method to make it start. So anyone with the grayed out start button problem, you need to search for the latest version. The "check for update" did not detect the newest version for me, I had to search elsewhere.

When I get the phone back, I figured I would have the latest version without root. Won't I need to flash 1.26 to start the Gladroot process all over again?

Where can I pick up a developer cable?
I Googled it but nothing in particular came up...
Same problem here.
If i left the atrix plugged to the charger wont charge the battery?
Thanks
the cable that comes with the atrix supplies power as it is used to charge the phone. i just soft bricked my phone and it eventually gave me the low battery message can't flash i began to panic and jumped on xda to look for help and i read that it doesn't charge while it is in this state, i pulled out the battery to turn it off since the computer was keeping it on. then put the battery back in i and plugged it in to the computer and it started to charge but didn't turn on its acting like its charging the green light is on but the phone isn't turning on I'm guessing its because i am running vmware and i set it to ask what os to use when i plug it in i didn't pick an option just left the window open and it looks like its charging... I'm praying that it really is charging ill keep you guys posted it if works

Google how to charge any phone with no charger. You will have to take apart a spare usb cable but it works.

Hey,
I didn't feel like going through the trouble of buying the Motorola factory charger or whatever you need to charge the phone when it said *battery low* *cannot program* when trying to use the RSD program (might have spelled it wrong) to restore to factory settings. My battery must have been low and in the middle of the restore, it stopped and now Im unable to get to either recovery or charge it.
I had insurance luckily so I just got my galaxy nexus back and should be to me tomorrow. Do yall think someone will buy this phone like that? i have 2 nandroid backups on there so it's probably not safe to sale with that stuff accessible.. smh.. that's why i liked the samsung galaxy s and galaxy s 2 devices because you can use Odin which makes the phones virtually unbrickable. The phone's in PERFECT condition. Would be nice if there was a way around that man
how much? just curiosity...
That's why its always recommened to have full charge when rooting or installing custom rom. I hope someone here in the forum can help you solve this issue.
you can make one looks like here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403100
if you want to give it a go, will cost you a $3 cable if you mess it up, and will gain you a $300 phone if you do it right.

Yeah but you know when you're a frequent flasher and are sure it only takes about 10 percent batter at the most, you don't charge it to the max but I just made a boo boo by not reading the part that said *You must be running a the rom already before flashing the update portion*.. that caused the bootloop..
Thanks a lot though. You're right

Get phone in to ap fastboot and go down to bp tools and then press vol+.
Phone should reboot in to a sort of recovered state (last firmware that was on phone) and allow you to charge up.
Once 100% retry flashing.
I screwed my phone several times already and thought I wouldnt recover. Through some chat help have always recovered. Same for my Charge after a few times you figure out all the tricks.
You can recover it. I've done it twice
If you check out my post it shows you a alternative and easier way charge your phone again and make it back to stock rom and no root. Then you can sell your phone for a better price or just keep it!
Ill give you $150 for it...
Ill trade you a Samsung Charge for it. Seriously though you should be able to recover.

I get that on mine when I let it die completely (after cocking up flashing!) ... what I do is connect it to pc...get solid white light..... press up/down/power.....boots to the other screen (cant remember what its called).....gives the option for normal boot......press up to get into normal moto boot logo..... VERY QUICKLY replug to a desktop charger.... Seems to work for me! I really must try reflashing with a clean rom!
There are several ways to recover from bricked because of dead low battery. Im sure there are easier but Im just gonna post a few.

Alright So I bought this Atrix for 50 bucks. Guy was having problems and coulnt figure it out. Its rooted and unlocked. When I plug the charger into it (the stock wall charger. not to the computer) it goes to the M boot screen. I can't get to any other screen to come up. When I hold the volume buttons down, I get "Cant start RSD Battery too low to flash". also, When I plug it in, The green LED lights up for a second then turns off as it goes to the Motorola screen. I can't turn it on either with just the battery. any Ideas?

I had this problem just last night. I searched around xda and the internet, and came upon this: http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/mo...e-rsd-lite-flash-sbf-file-motorola-atrix.html
Give it a shot. If it doesn't turn on now, what's the worse that'll happen by trying this?
Just charge the battery and flash a SBF with RSDLite.
Make sure that you don't downgrade the ROM. Read sticky for more info about hardbricking risks.
Wrong section.

What SBF file do I need? Im not sure what is on the phone and I dont wanna Brick it if I can avoid it.
Go the latest SBF(the latest being 2.3.6/4.5.141 if you have an ATT atrix. Otherwise a full list of SBF files are here http://www.filefactory.com/f/89f588286a560e39/ ). Bricking occured when downgrading, so long as you upgrade or stay the same you should be fine.

Thanks, admin?
I bit the bullet and did it. All was going good till my cat jumped on my computer desk and then failed saying something about switching to BP or something along those lines. Now I cant get the phone is RSD again
Was your battery charged enough? Sometimes if your battery is low it won't complete the flash.
What directory is your sbf file located at? Sometimes it won't work unless you put it directly in the C:\ drive.
Have you got the latest RSDlite?
What SBF did you flash?
Did you use the usb ports at the back of the pc?
If you can't get it in RSD again then I suggest giving it a charge for an hour or so and trying again later. Also check the md5 of the sbf file to check that the file is correct. Sometimes the 'Switch phone to BP Pass through mode' can be fixed just from trying a different usb port or computer.

congratulations your mobile device is sucessfully bricked.
mine did[(do)will] the same, you have to take it to the assistance, i know what must be done, the assistance guys told me, but it can only be done by them.
so, you better hope you dont have the same problem as mine. [but if you got the error talking about didnt booting radio////failed to switch to BP(or some s**t like that) you probably have it, and only motorola can fix it.]
Edit: we know is the wrong section but only modetators can complain/report/warn. if we are not, lets just help the poor dude while the problem is unsolved.

Have you googled the error? If you have, you'd find that it is a common error and I haven't seen any cases where they didn't eventually get fixed. OP just needs to get back in to RSD and have another go. The guys from 'assistance' don't know what they're doing, they'll take any reason to say that 'only motorola can fix it' because they don't know any better.

I wold haVE GOOGLED IT BUT RSD lite closed on me. I would get back into RSD but I can't get the phone back into it. I power on and hold the volume buttons and it doesnt do anything.
And also now while its stuck on the Motorola boot screen, Unlocked is missing from the corner like it use to be there.
Well after just fidiling around with it, it just started working. After about 45 minutes of just sitting there on the motorola screen, it booted up. Now its time to set it up all the way and put CM7 on it im guess.
I wasn't talking to you about googling the error, I was talking to the guy who had said that your phone was bricked when clearly it wasn't. The error would have been a fail at 'Switching Device to BP Pass Through' stage which does not mean you're device is bricked.
Anyway, good to see you fixed it. And the unlocked text goes away when you flash an SBF, that's normal. Get cm10 on it
I went back through and kind of got that after the fact haha. Im glad I got it fixed also too. Not I can get rid of the dreaded Iphone 4 :\ and be back where I belong. Is there a stable CM10 for it? I havent gotten to look around much yet since I was fixing the main problem.
Hello,
I recently got a friend's old Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S) from Verizon, SCH-I500 EH03. This is the first Smart Phone I ever owned and I wanted to join the bandwagon, long story short I read xda-developers.com for a couple of days trying to absorb as much as I could and after all my faulty USB Cable messed it all up.
I was updating PIT and PDA through ODIN, Powerwashed and Atlas when my USB Cable got a little bit loose, I tried to put it back it and unfortunately it came out of the device, Odin errored out, phone froze and I got a Green Screen, not knowing what was going on and out of desperation and bad judgement I pulled the battery out.
Now I get a black pitch screen with no icons on it, Ive already researched for Soft Bricked and I do not get the Black Screen of Death, this is just Black. Computer doesn't recognizes phone at all, I've trying holding power button for a long time, removing battery or just using USB Cable but nada.
I' did some research on the Jig mod but it seems that it only works if you get at least something on the screen while all I get is a black screen.
I'm about to try to attempt doing this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206216 - The Captivate Development Platform AKA Unbrickable Mod.
Before I do so I'd like to know if there is any other alternative, I don't have much experience on electronics and I'm going to purely base my judgement and fix on the thread above me. I realized that my phone might be gone for good so why not give it a last try.
Thanks in advance for reading.

First of all you don't know nearly enough information. To have done that you always take your battery out before odining because it works better that way but none the less I will make it my goal too get you fixed. DO NOT SKIP ANY OF THIS . now first off go too the Samsung satire or whatever and buy you a Samsung USB cable made for your phone too lessen the chances of bad things happening now turn on Odin 1.3 you can find that anywhere on the web just search when you run Odin run it as admistator plug in your phone with the USB cord WITH THE BATTERY OUT and hold the volume down button it will show a symbol it can be any kind its just going too show a symbol now it will install device drivers or whatever and Odin will recognize it by showing a little yellow rectangle u deer one of the com's now put the atlas 2.2 pit in the pit section chackmark PDA put the powerwashed.tar in there AND CLICK REPARTICIAN YES CLICK IT. And now press start. Wait for it too finish it may take up too 20 in too flash factory.fs JUST WAIT IT WILL CONTINUE ITS SLOW. Now then when it says PASS unplug your phone from the USB put back in the battery hold the power button it will power up and do something release the power button it will do its thing then power up into power washed and there ya go YOUR PHONE IS UNBRICKED!!!!

Hello,
Thanks for the response.
I did try to run Odin without the battery but the phone wouldn't even turn on at all, Id like to think this was caused because the Cable I used was a generic one and not the Original Samsung one, I have ordered one Online from Ebay, one that is Branded Samsung and specially for this Phone, I will update this thread as soon as I get it and try your steps.
Once again thanks for your help.

I must admit it man, I knew you knew your stuff, but I had my doubts, Thanks a lot for your help, I'm truly grateful for your help. My phone is unbricked now.
I got a couple of questions for you if you don't mind,
Id like to have newest android but I'm not sure if this phone can support it, you seem to have the same phone number as I do.. what version of Android do you run.
And last but not least.. is it true that since the phone was vberizon and I want to use a different carrier I can only use the Voice Plan for it?, Data plan won't work on rooted phones unless I go to the original carrier, is this a myth or true?
Thanks once again for the amazing help, I'm truly happy!

Np This phone is one of the most supported phones out there and the fastest. Right now I'm getting performance as good as the galaxy s3. This phone can run ICS, jellybean, and even the new 4.2. Jellybean ROMs run the smoothest though. Just look and droidsytles guide section 4 it will tell you everything. I also have couple of ROMs up. Also it is a myth.

Np This phone is one of the most supported phones out there and the fastest. Right now I'm getting performance as good as the galaxy s3. This phone can run ICS, jellybean, and even the new 4.2. Jellybean ROMs run the smoothest though. Just look and droidsytles guide section 4 it will tell you everything. I also have couple of ROMs up. Also it is a myth.

I've followed the guide, I got Paranoid Android Jelly Bean running on my phone, The only issue I have now is that I'm unable to Activate my Phone, I need to dial a number and then select an option but when I'm calling it just keeps telling me to activate and doesn't let me use th enumber pad, is there a way to get rid of the Verizon/Phone Activation so I can use the numbers pad?

Okay, I will go to their location to complete the activation, one more and last thing, Which ROM do you run on your phone, I instaleld Paranoid Anroid JB 4.1 but I've read a few threads that it drains the battery so I was wondering if you could share what you use since you seem to know this phone pretty well.
Thanks for all the previous help, without you I would be using a really old phone right now

My phone has been activated, with a different carrier than Verizon which is the original carrier of the phone.
They have reset my Android OS back to stock... but phone finally works I guess is a good thing, if I want to go back to JB Paranoid Android 4.1 would I have to reactivate again after following Droidstyles guide? or can I just do the 4th steep and the phone will be ready to go.

If you should need to do it dial *22890 or *22891
That will get you past having to input a number option to activate

Almost perfection!.
Two more questions,
1- Is there anytihg else I would need to do, load a rom or tweak so DATA works? , I've activated my phone and Voice works perfectly fine, I can also send text messages and WIFI works.
2- Somehow my phone still thinks is with Verizon Wireless for some stuff such as Google Play Store it gives me the option to Add a Card, Redeem Code or Charge my Verizon Account?
Also when I turn on the phone the bottom of Jelly Bean Menu to unlock the phone shows Verizon Wireless, is this normal?

Hello,
I recently bought a droid x2 to use on straight talk. The stock system was fairly laggy so I rooted it and installed eclipse 2.3. That was better but still unacceptably laggy. From there I thought I would give cm10 a shot. Based on what I read I figured it would be faster. I sbf'd my 2.3.5 x2 to 2.3.4. Rooted it and installed cm10. No problems. CM10 is actually the best I have tried thus far, however I could not get certain apps to run (I know this is known with cm10) and the alternatives to the app I want do not run either. So I thought I would give cm7 a shot. I started rsd lite picked the correct sbf, turned off my phone; held the power button while holding up to get into rsd mode on the phone. Then connected it to the computer. RSD saw it and I pressed start. The program went through the first phase fine; rebooted then only made it to 30% of the second phase and failed. I've tried rebooting computer, taking the battery out and letting it sit and now I fear the phone is bricked. Also I cannot seem to get it to charge; now when the phone boots up it says boot up failed (or something like that) then underneath that text will say rsd mode then underneath that it says not enough power to flash. Besides getting an external charger, is there a way around this?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Phone will not charge without firmware, need a charged battery or fastboot cable

Thank you for the fast response man. I just ordered a cable off ebay. You wouldn't happen to have an idea as to what (if anything) I did wrong? I sbf'd the device twice now with no issues and then this happened.
Thank you again for the fast response..

bad usb cable, drivers issue, bad usb port (PC or DX2), bad sbf download, battery was too low but didn't get the warning right away, battery is old and not reliable...
verify md5 checksum for sbf https://sites.google.com/site/sdshadowscollection/home/hash-checksums
verify drivers
use rear usb ports on desktop pc, often front usb ports are not good for flashing
try a different usb cable
fully charge battery before flashing, if battery is more than 2 years old, it should be replaced
use a different RSD Lite version
use DX2 ezSBF it runs from a bootable cd/usb drive using a linux version called Slitaz (so no driver issues)
edit:
Flashing Stock 2.3.5 Firmware with moto-fastboot.exe
Hey Thanks again. I know you probably get tired of answering questions like mine, but your knowledge is greatly appreciated.
