I tried to flash a firmware via odin and it stucks to factoryfs.img.now i cant open my phone.When im flashing every firmware va odin it stucks at factoryfs.img.i tried to wipe everything from the stock recovery and retry but i had no success.when im flashing kernels i have no error.so i was wondering if i could flash cf-root and then when i will be into recovery push files via adb to internal sdcard.is this possible?if yes tell me how.If not tell me other ways to unbrick my device
Which firmware did you try? Try to flash a stock firmware. Go here and pick up the latest ROM and follow the instructions it is very well explained

i flashed a stock firmware.i tried this and i had no result.if you can answer this i told about cwm and adb i would be very happy
try another cable.
I had similar problem because of a poor cable ordered from e-bay.
even if you are using the stock cable, try another one as it might be damaged.
gokhan thanks for your help but it didn't work.if i format the /system partition will i be able to get into download mode?
I don't see how you could get Odin to recognise your phone in order to format the system partition if you weren't able to get into download mode.
So I guess I'll play Captain Obvious...Can you get into download mode ?
If not, does Odin recognise the phone when you hook the phone up to a PC via a USB cable ? (a long shot I know but I'm trying to think of anything that might work here).

You really need to start giving more information.
Excactly what rom did you tried to flash? And yes, you can just flash CF-Root and start flashing from recovery. If it is possible to push the files true adb, I don't know. But you will have adb for sure in recovery.
And why are you flashing? It looks like you have really no idea what you are doing.
the problem is solved.i flashed a cwm 9 rom via odin and now im ok.now im flashing chechrom.i had checkrom and i undervolted too much.the phone closed but accidenatly i had ticked the set on bot button.my external sd is broken and i didnt have a checkrom backp into my internal sdcard.so i decided to flash an official firmware and then flash again checkrom.this is the story but now my problem is solved so you can lock the thread.thank you all
Hello, I am Stelios. I am a new owner of Motorola Atrix although I have already encounter my first serious problem. I will describe the story from the beginning:
I was trying to recover some old sms using Titanium backup but after the sms restoration the system messaging application was crashing after reboot so I decided to restore a previous Nandroid Backup.
I start the restoration but suddenly the process stopped giving me the message: “Error while restoring /system!”. I tried more than one times but every time the procedure stops at the same time while it restores a specific file of the /system. I also tried two different Nandroid backups that I had previously made from the same ROM but the result was exactly the same:
Code:
CWM-based Recovery v5.02.7-atrix5
Checking MD5 sums…
Erasing boot image…
Restoring system…
Error while restoring /system!
I also tried to format /system before restoration but nothing happens again.
Any ideas that could help me to solve my problem?
Please help I need this device, I don't have a second one.
Maybe it is possible to restore through RSD Lite. I believe you'd lose all of your data on the phone though, I'm not sure. You could always copy it over through CWM and then try RSD Lite.

Do you mean that I can restore .img archives through RSD Lite?
Hi, what's your recovery ? (from ROM Manager, Tenfar or Romracer ?)
First of all, I hope you know what RSDLite (or sbf_flash if you're Linux/Mac user), fastboot, ... etc.
Try flashing RSD file into your Atrix by RSDLite/sbf_flash. You can access RSD mode by booting with volume down pressed.

Sorry but I am not an advanced user yet and I don't know too much.
I have only one time used the RSDLite (I am a windows user) when I flashed the recovery.
I know that RSDLite is a motorola tool for flashing the original ROMS to the phone and I have also read that it is a too dangerous procedure that may cause hard-bricks.
Can RSDLite recovers .img archives from the Nandroid Backup I have made or do you propose me to flash the sbf archive of my official rom? Is it a dangerous procedure?
I now have a new bigger problem:
The phone can't go in fast boot by pressing the main key and the volume down.
When I plug the charger the Motorola logo or an battery image with a "?" instead of the battery image with the % percentage is appeared
When I disconnect the charger only a black screen appears and I can't boot the device by pressing the booting key.
After trying a lot, I found that the only way to go to fastboot is to put the changer holding simultaneously the volume down. After that, the fastboot loads and I can go to CWM recovery.
But I can't stay a CWM recovery if I disconnect the charger.
I think that I am out of battery and my battery can't be recharged in this state...
HELP!!!
Try formatting /system through CWM and then run restore.
^
And if it still doesn't work, download any ROM, plug your Atrix in your PC and then boot into recovery mode, go to mounts and storage, and finally select mount USB storage to put your ROM on your Atrix. Then flash this ROM to let your charge Atrix.
I think that recovery is corrupted or recovery did a wrong backup, it already happened to me.

I tried to do that but the only way to boot at flashboot is to have my phone connected with the power cable.
If I connect my phone with my pc I can't boot but there in only a black screen.
So there no way to put another rom in the internal sd card.
A solution could be to put another rom in the external sd card but CWM can't see my sd.
I can't flash ROMS from external sd card because it is not visible by CWM.
So what else could I do??
Please guys help, I have totally despaired...
Romracer CWM based recovery (yours) can see files on internal/external memory, is there any message when you try to search a ROM in your external memory ?

Yes, the message is:
E:Can't mount /sdcard
Then go to mounts and storage and select mount /sdcard, it works ?
When you're on recovery, can't you plug in your Atrix on your PC ?

1.There are the options "mount /sdcard" and "mount /sd-ext".
I think that my external card is the /sd-ext and the /sdcard is the internal one.
Selecting mount /sd-ext gives me the result : "Error mounting /sd-ext!
Selecting mount /sdcard gives me the result : "Error mounting /sdcard!
However, CWM can normally see the Nandroid backups at internal storey but it just can't restore the /system.
2.No, if I plug in my atrix on my pc that recovery closes due to energy lack. The battery has run out so the only way to boot to fastboot and then to CWM is to have the phone connected to the charger.
So what could I do?
if a flashable .zip of a custom recovery is in your internal memory storage you can try to flash it.
Otherwise, in recovery mode select reboot to recovery from advanced menu and while the time it takes to boot into your recovery, plug in Atrix on your PC. And if it still doesn't work you can try to charge your Atrix with MacGyver method, i'll explain you.

Thank you for your answer.
1.No, unfortunatelly there is no a .zip with a of a custom rom in my internal memory, That's the reason that I am trying to find a way to put a custom rom in the internal storey or make CWM to read the external sd.
2.I have already tried this. If I disconnect the phone from the charger it directly closes due to lack of energy so I can't plug it to the pc.
3.What is this method??
I bought a new micro SD card that finally was recognized by CWM.
I successfully installed this ROM but the phone still can not boot in the new ROM.
It can only boot in fastboot..
I thought that the boot inability was caused by lack of any ROM.
Now having install a new ROM why I still can't charge my phone????
What could I do to charge my phone????
If all were normal and I had forgotten for days to charge Atrix I would have encountered the same problem?
edit: I also tried a "wipe battery stats from CWM" but nothing changed.
You can charge the battery with universal charger

Do you mean that this is not normal?
The phone should be able to be charged under this state?
Why should I format the system? I have just installed a new rom.
Can someone explain me how the charging of Atrix works???

I was formatting my phone's internal storage in TWRP recovery and I accidently wiped my ROM instead of formatting data.Now there's no OS on my phone i.e it's soft bricked.Odin won't detect my phone on my winXP PC,I got the samsung drivers installed and I made sure no kies process is running.I tried mounting the storage in recovery but when I click on it on my PC,it tells me ''please insert a disk''.I wanna try flashing stock ROM using ubuntu but I just don't know how.I know it's by using hemidall but I'm not very experienced with linux.I just need the codes that I have to put in the terminal.
Can you boot in to TWRP recovery? If you can, you could just flash another rom from there. If not i just did a quick search of google for "i9300 flash stock firmware heimdall ubuntu" and came across this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1947975

Yes I can boot into TWRP but the problem is I don't have any ROMs on my device or even a nandroid backup.I will try with the link you provided and post results.

You can always put a rom on your external sd card (if you have one) just plug it in to an adapter (again, if you have one) and pop it back in the S3. And i bet in future you'll make a back up
Good luck.
Didn't work and I don't have an external SD.Well I guess I'm f***ed :/ NOPE.As I was typing this,I thought about trying to boot my phone while it's connected to the PC and while it was stuck at ''galaxy s3'' logo,it installed additional drivers(I thought all of them were installed) and odin detected my phone.I just saved myself a visit to my other house where my main PC is which I used to do all the flashing stuff before moving here Thanks for your help

There's a program called HeimDall. You can use that to re-flash stock firmware or you can install VirtualBox and Windows on top of that, then you download the stock firmware to the virtual machine and Odin and you can set it to read/write to and from the USB ports
Hope I could help!

Im newbie superuser i already root my device
and i tried to install xposed framework but not working.
This made me decide to go recovery mode

1--Via odion and flashing file to my phone?
What files i needs for this!
2-- via downloading files to my external sd card
and flash them directily? What files i need for this?
Please help guys the phone was gift from my bro.
Btw i have macbook to use not windows, but not a problem i can borrow Windows
@Alrubaie, both method would work. You can install a firmware for your device using Odin. This would bring it back to life. And also, you can download a custom ROM (from development section here) and install that using TWRP, this will also do the trick. Though, you must be able to transfer files from PC to phone from recovery mode -- do enable MTP in Mount menu of TWRP for this.

Hi everyone,
I've been searching how to boot in sd card for a week and tired and hopeless. I stumbled up here.
I know there are custom roms out there (TWRP, CWM)but my problem is I don't have access to usb cable to connect odin since my port was busted and the technician wasn't able to repair it. It only charged but no data data...
The problem is the android OS was corrupted. I can only access the recovery mode and I have tried to reset factory settings but with no success. I just need to know if I can boot on SD card alone to install an OS or install TWRP or CWM recovery without any sort of cable. Thanks...

Get someone with your same device and is rooted to pull a debrick.img from their device using terminal emulator app and have them upload it for you.
Then follow these instructions in the link below using the debrick file you get from them, ignore the device files linked in the thread, you only want the PC tools from the thread, then using your debrick.img follow the instructions.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166
You will see the instructions mention debrick.bin and debrick.img, they are the same thing, when you see it say one of these it it is talking about the debrick file you get from whoever helps you if they pull a copy for you. Use that file when it mentions doing something with either .bin.or .img.
After you get the device booted there are instructions to return your sdcard to normal use.
