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.

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?!

Just plug the phone to the charger,that's how u charge a battery.Phone does not need to boot up in order to charge.

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

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

Hi.
I was flashing my phone back to stock gingerbread and after doing some verification and stuff my phone just went crazy.
The touchscreen clicks on everything by itself, sometimes it's so hard to unlock the pattern.
The screen is clean, nothing on it, nothing went inside the phone.
flashing back to any other ROMs wont work so im assuming that it's the hardware problem.
I was going to go to the verizon retail center and ask for the exchange but I already made an exchange from tbolt to x2, and now I'm wondering if I can get my phone exchanged for the malfunctioning.
Or any way that I can get this thing back to normal.
Thank you.
I'm sure that as long as you can reproduce the issue they won't have a problem replacing it with another X2. Just make sure you SBF before you make the exchange.
Well that's the thing.
It wont show up on rsd lite 5.3.1 with PC mode and USB debugging on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i factory reseted by using the recovery mode. This is really annoying and driving me nuts.
As long as it's on stock firmware and SU isn't there or anything that requires root you should be okay.
Alright. Thanks for the comment!

if youre trying to sbf you have to put it on rsd mode...power off the phone hold power and volume up till it flashes and it should say ready for rsd protocol or whatever, from there plug it in to the computer and it should recognize it.
Mine was doing the same thing,only it was a random ocurrence throughout the day for like two weeks and it only happened in the middle left of the screen,flashed back to stock still happened then it just stopped doing it,weird

mine does this on the atrix rom but once I sbf back to GB it works fine.
Had this happen to me one time. I accidentally flash back a nandroid of a froyo backup. I was running P3's Pre-GB at the time, phone went crazy. SBF fixed everything, I was S***ing bricks when it happened though... lol
It also happened to me too. Bit it went away after I started to mess with flashing stuff to the phone like themes. It sucked, I thought I messed something up bad haha.

any new news on ya nandroid problem greenjeans? I mean MR greenjeans ..r u from the same area as me? Near claymont boothwyn Philadelphia etc....sorry for off subject...looking for the small world lol
I have had this happen several times when flashing. Just SBF back, wipe all data and cache and start over. It will go away! It seems it happened more when I took short cuts or flat out forgot a step, but it always went away after a clean instal. Hope that helps...
same here.... i do the sbf and a wipe (3X) and it always comes back for me
Sounds like you need an exorcism!
My wife's DInc had was also possessed. With her's it was a faulty digitizer and is a problem with many DInc.
More directly related, my DX2 does this about every day at some point. I'm running Eclipse v.6 FWIW. It seems to be a software problem as I can just turn off the screen and it goes away.
This happens to me on my DX2 with some ROMs but only when the phone is plugged in to the charger or the USB cable... Unplug it and it goes away... Really random... I have thought about taking it in but cant remember if it does it on stock unrooted or not... Might give it a try this weekend and if it does I may just get it replaced.....
It works fine after SBFing to stock GB.
lol i thought i f***ed up something bad haha
I might just keep using this GB until the eclipse .6 gets fixed up or something
Well I'm currently on .7 rc1 eclipse and its the best rom I've tried yet... And I've tried a lot lol

I have heard that if the wrong voltage is coming through the charger it can make it go nuts like that which can be pretty bad for ur phone.
Are u using the stock x2 charger or a replacement of some kind?
Mine says output 5.1Volts (850mA)

Im using the rocketfish wall charger for the DroidX so I would assume it should be fine... But the voltage is interesting because it happens when the phone is plugged into my pc or my lappy also..... and that is using the stock USB cable... If it were more frequent and on all ROMs including stock I would have had it replaced already... I'll check the voltage on that rocketfish wall charger with the stock moto one and see when I get off work later....
So i have the cwm bootloader and i have a backup saved, i have just flashed jokers skinnyrom and it boots up to "failed to boot 2, starting RSD mode" ive tried getting hard reset to worl (atleast how i think you do it), and it wouldnt. all i need is to get into my bootloader to restore please help! Thank you!
You can always SBF the phone back to stock if what you have done with the phone has put you into a continuous loop. Info on this can be seen in the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202666
The gist is you will want to use RSD light have the SBF file and then flash it .
1) Fire off RSD lite, select the SBF you need 198_7 or 198_6 either or.
2) Hold down power and vol up till RSD mode comes up
3) Plug into usb then start the flashing sequence.. ( the whole process will take a while)
4) The process is done when RSD lite says manually power up the phone.. You may need to take the back off and pull the battery to restart it incase it doesnt power up on its own.
The files can be downloaded from.
http://www.holylivingfuck.com/ACS/SBFs/
These files are compliments of Shabbypenguin since he is the one who posted this repository.
Until you are ready for that SBF, pull your battery and don't use it. You need as much juice as possible, because that error causes your phone not to charge the battery. If your battery is below 50%, you won't be able to do the SBF. You will have to go to Radioshack or someplace like that and buy a charger for the battery only, or if you know someone else with a Photon, trade them batteries while you do this SBF as shown above.
I have done an sbf flash with as little as 53percent battery. I was a bit nervous about it but it went without any incident. But it could be best to air upon caution depending how you feel about it.

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.

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.

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.]

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.
Ok this one is kinda sketchy. My dad found this DROID RAZR about a year ago, I used to use it as like an ipod until it just shut off one day and never came back on. Recently I've been trying to resurrect it. When I plug it into the computer i get a white LED, but the screen will not respond. I can plug it in using a wall charger and get a charging symbol with a question mark. I can get into the menu with recovery and fastboot options. All of the options with BP just take it back to the question mark charging symbol. The recovery allowed me to wipe all data and partitions, but it still will not boot. I can get to the download update from sd card option, but I don't know the build number or really anything about the phone so flashing any updates would be risky. I'm currently downloading an update file for 4.1 jelly bean that says I need to be running 4.04 with build number 6.16.211. I'm really just doing this for fun so destroying the phone isn't a huge concern, however any feedback on how to proceed here would be appreciated as I'm not all too familiar with the RAZR.

Ok this one is kinda sketchy. My dad found this DROID RAZR about a year ago, I used to use it as like an ipod until it just shut off one day and never came back on. Recently I've been trying to resurrect it. When I plug it into the computer i get a white LED, but the screen will not respond. I can plug it in using a wall charger and get a charging symbol with a question mark. I can get into the menu with recovery and fastboot options. All of the options with BP just take it back to the question mark charging symbol. The recovery allowed me to wipe all data and partitions, but it still will not boot. I can get to the download update from sd card option, but I don't know the build number or really anything about the phone so flashing any updates would be risky. I'm currently downloading an update file for 4.1 jelly bean that says I need to be running 4.04 with build number 6.16.211. I'm really just doing this for fun so destroying the phone isn't a huge concern, however any feedback on how to proceed here would be appreciated as I'm not all too familiar with the RAZR.

I think it's Battery Death!
Because I had this question mark and when I took it to the Service Centre, they opened the phone and showed me that the strip (bus) coming out of the battery was partially teared off.
They asked me around 40$ for battery replacement. I bought one from China for 22$ and replaced myself.
And the phone is good after that.:good:
I yanked the back off and found tbag the battery connector film was torn. So basically the same thing.
