Hi there guys, first of all thank you all so much for the support here.
I have a problem with my atrix, i googled a lot before posting, but i still can't find a solution:
I have a atrix 4G, unlocked, was running successfully neutrino 2,8 version.
After 2 months of being (almost) fully functional, the phone crashed(i didn't do anything particular at that time, i think that i was browsing google maps) suddenly and now i have continuous boot loop, i get only the classic red dual core logo, with the "unlocked" notification over it, and then after 10-15 sec it reboots.
I try to open it with holding volume down, to enter recovery, nothing happens. It reboots again. The computer doesn't see it, in this case.
I reboot it with holding volume up, says "starting RSD protocol suppport", and pc sees it and i get the cling-clong sound of usb.
I would do the recovery using rsd, but i read that it is not for unlocked devices, is this so? What can i do in this case? Thanks a lot!!!

You'll probably need to flash a new recovery partition. Check out this thread:

Thanks, but the problem is that this guy can get into the recovery with powering up+holding volume down button, if i understood well.but I can't!

flasing a recovery is done via fastboot so you don't have to enter recovery but fastboot (hold power and volume down till it shows fastboot, then press up) .

hello i had this problem yesterday, it happens in neutrino rom to alot of people!
and btw i could not open recovery either
ill explain what i had to do
i had to use moto-fastboot and install a new recovery, basically your recovery is dead and your rom is unbootable
heres the steps
download the moto drivers and install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1381183&d=1349549067
then download the motofastboot zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1381414&d=1349555102
and create a new folder in C: (computer) called Android and then drag the files from the moto zip into android
Then download a new recovery http://www.mediafire.com/?6ww8wrjrdqq9m97
place the recovery.img into the android folder
now you have all the files needed to reflash your new recovery and fix your phone the whole idea is to reinstall recovery so you can access it and wipe and install the rom fresh again
now you need to do these steps
1) Attach your phone to the PC via USB (use a port closest to the power supply)
2) Reboot phone while holding volume down until you see "fastboot"
3) Press volume up to initiate fastboot
4) On your PC click the Start menu, then in the search box type "cmd"
5) In the command prompt type the following commands (no quotes, hit enter after each command)
6a) "cd c:/android"
6b) "moto-fastboot devices"
your CMD promt should show something like this
C:\Users\Me>cd c:/android
c:\Android>fastboot devices
TA20703SX9 fastboot
c:\Android>
now if that has all worked type the following phrases
moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.4-maguro.img
moto-fastboot reboot
now the phone should reboot, unplug the usb and pull battery out.
put battery back in and then try to boot into recovery like you normally would (power button + Vol Down)
and your new recovery should load!
from here you can wipe your whole system which i would reccomended as your current one is corrupt and install a new rom or reflash your current on onto a clean wipe. if you dont understand how to clean wipe do all of these steps, factory reset, clear cache, clean dalvik cache then go to mounts > storage and format data + format cache + format system
now install new rom and let it boot up, should bootloop a couple of times then start! if not unplug battery from phone and ask for further assitance

Thank you for your help, the problem is exactly here, i put on the usb, i power up the phone by pressing the volume down, and the phone does nothing,doesn't show the fastboot,and after 10-15 secs starts rebooting again. This is my problem!
The only response from my phone is when powering up, and pressing the volume up, it says "starting rsd protocol support"
Is there any case that my volume down is dead?

unplug usb
remove battery, then put battery back in make sure phone off (no green light)
then hold power button and vol down at the same time for a few seconds
Fastboot should appear in white writing then press up volume and it should say starting rsd protocal or something similiar
then plug in usb and follow the steps i have written above
i do exactly what you said, but doesn't show fastboot. from switched off, if i press volume up with power button, i see the message "starting rsd protocol support" .but no fastboot option!
Is there any chance that you can access adb after bootscreen? than you can use "adb reboot recovery" to get there...

When i start up phone, the only combination possible to stop restarting is by pressing power+vol up to show that with RSD. There is no other option then selectable. Power + volume down does not work, doesn't show anything, has anyone of you experienced this thing?
If the only working option you have is RSD, then I'm afraid you're stuck with having to flash a stock SBF. I hope you know/remember exactly what stock version you had installed before any modding or flashing, because the SBF has to match exactly. Choose wisely and read up as much as you can before flashing.
I have over a year now with custom roms, and i can't remember which version i had. Why do i have to find exactly the version that i had? The latest stock version won't work with rsd? It will make it hard brick?If i manage at least to recover the fastboot menus etc it would be great!
I will later also try to open it, to see if the side button "volume down" is not working,.
I have another question, in your moto atrix, if you press on startup power+vol up, are you also seeing the "starting RSD" etc option??

Yes, flashing a wrong SBF will most likely hardbrick your device.

Can't try right now, but as far as I know, yes, that is a standard way to enter RSD mode.
thank you, so, i know that at least my phone responds to some instructions.
Is there anyone else to suggest me to do anything else?
IN rsd mode, (other than flashing a stock random rom with chance of hardbricking,)the phone can be read by usb, can i do anything there?

Sadly no. The RSD mode can only ever be used to flash SBFs. That's it. Nothing less, nothing more.
I will now try to open it to see if vol down is not working well. If it does work, i will select a stock rom 1 year old and i will flash it using rsd, and whatever happens....:good:
I disassembled the phone, the button seems to operate fine(?).
I flashed with RSDlite the 2.3.6 version, the RSD stuck to waiting for phone to restart.
The phone restarted, the "unlocked" logo disappeared.
Starts normally, passes the red motorola logo, shows the graphic of AT&T, and after ~10sec starts restarting again. Bootloop again!
At boot, pressing power+vol up, i can still get the RSD support. Pressing power+vol down does nothing, I don't see any error messages, like the ones in hard brick.
What can i do now, any ideas please!!!
try this

Yesterday I had a hard time getting my phone into fastboot mode, after loading a bad SV kernel,it only wanted to start the RSD protocol mode. I eventually got into fastboot by plugging into the wall charger, then removing and installing the battery while holding the vol button. When fastboot appears, unplug the charger to allow sd access.
Thanks for the suggestion, i tried even this,it didn't work. The funny thing is that it shows the battery charging level full screen if i connect the charger, as it starts.
I noticed also that when i press vol down now, it takes longer to start and continue to the moving red logo, it stays for a while stable red,feels like it is thinking whether to start or not lol (if i don't press vol down, on the power up the red moto logo immediately starts the classic "waving" effects)
Anyone having any kind of suggestion?I guess you don't, right?
Turn on phone - boot logo shows up, stays there for a few second, then it reboots. It never went past it. So it never enters the fancy boot animation part
What I tried :
Tried to boot into TWRP so I can restore a backup, but now I suddenly couldn't enter TWRP, it's like it doesn't even exist suddenly
Flash all sorts of boot.img, no hope
Flashtool reflash a ftf, and nope. Still stuck at the boot logo
What did I do? Well I tried to undervolt further my kernel, bad idea. Though I didn't expect the effect to be this severe. ROM was stock MM (Yes I did tried to reflash back one of my older kernels, didn't do shyt)
The phone does show signs of life i.e LEDs, vibrate.
Oh and offline charging doesn't work too now, it just reboots as if I'm trying to boot it up
Any help/suggestion would be appreciated (cuz nothing I searched in the forum seemed to do any good for me yet)
EDIT: Brought it to the shop - said was the button flex cable (like what in the hell of all the other effing parts of the phone this thing can cause such a pain of a problem?!). Didn't got it replaced (effing 1 third the price of what I bought this phone, though they got it to boot again but I'm not rebooting it for I am not really sure if it'll enter another bootloop when I reboot..)
@AndyPhoenix9879 when phone is OFF could you try to press and hold "volume down" + "volume up" + "power" button for more than 30 seconds. do in exact order. Then try to start your phone again. If not start reflash stock firmware then try again. If still not start do procedure with 3 buttons again. Repeat several times, phone should boot properly.
I have same situation with my phone during one of testings and this was only way to repair phone.

Somehow de-attaching the flex cable for the buttons did the trick... I haven't did that key combination though, will keep that in mind next time Thanks

When this happened to you, were you able to boot into TWRP though? The problem came back T-T
EDIT : Deattached it again and reattached, working again rofl
Sometimes was possible to boot TWRP, sometimes not. I reinstall Android ROM and TWRP, root it again and since then no problem. Pressing of three buttons in order do factory reset of phone and it helps. In your case if reattaching of buttons helps maybe some of them are faulty and stick from time to time.
thank you u saved my phone

it - from time to time - shows the charging logo,
then just force it to reset: power button + volume down - keep both pressed until it resets (screen off),
then keep the volume down button pressed
<-- with the usb cable plugged in all of the time
That should get you into bootloader.
Note:
the phones behaves really weird and it could be that it shuts off while in bootloader.
In that case simply disconnect the USB cable, connect it to the phone only and then - while the volume button down is pressed - connect it to PC

MAJOR EDIT: Master Reset worked, is accessed by holding vol down and power until screen goes dark, release power when the lg logo appears, count to 2, press power again until factory reset screen, say yes, should put you into twrp (provided you already have it installed of course)
Is there a button combination to do this? I'm fearing I also bricked my us998 by dirty flashing from aospx to the johnfawkes stock rom after I randomly stopped getting lte connection. Probably definitely should have factory reset but there were a few pictures I didn't want to lose and now I am really wishing I had bitten the bullet on them to save my phone. Current situation is a loop at the verizon startup screen, vol down and power can initiate a restart and from there I can hold vol up to get the initial download mode splash screen but then the screen goes dark and the device starts to loop again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Guys I need help ...this morning my phone restarted while charging and got stuck on huawei logo screen. i tried different combinations of Power + Volume up and down buttons but it didnt go to any other screen. then i installed hisuite on my PC and connected to my phone through USB cable, and holding volume down button i got to this screen which says FAST BOOT&RESCUE MODE and further reads "Phone Locked" "FRP Lock" in the end below Android logo.
i want to access my phone contents and get backup as I have important files to recover. Please I need some help with detailed step by step procedure to help me get through without damaging my phone or its content. I am hoping some nice techie can write me the steps needed to be taken considering I am a complete noob.
Try forcing your way into the recovery and clearing cache
Vol up + power without having it plugged in
Just keep it pressed for 1 min + if you have to until you see the recovery
When the phone vibrates and turns on let go of the power button so it won't cycle

hi buddy,
i tried but no luck
Any news? I got one in the same condition. When its in eRecovery and i try to update it shows "can't get update info(or something like that)", it doesn't have factory reset button available, it doesn't have wipe button available. When I put it in fastboot, it shows Phone "Locked" and "FRP Lock".
Wtf do I do with this brick?
Thank you in advance! ( Be aware guys! I was scammed with it on the internet - full box, like new, and it doesn't even get into android)

Hi,
have you tried Emergency Backup?
- Turn off your phone and connect it to your computer using USB cable. Press and hold the Volume Up and Power Button for 15 seconds, until the device restarts and enters the eRecovery mode. Select "Emergency backup" . Works on EMUI 9.1 only!
IMO theres no other way to save your data...

That sucks, I think I got exactly the same problem, have tried all kind of combinations. Only different appearing window is fastboot but that is totally useless as the device doesnt appear on Hisuite either. What happens when the batter totally drains ?

Phone does not turn off, and whatever button you press it just keeps showing Huawei start screen except for volume down and power button combination which opens fast boot window. Do you how to connect the device to laptop while in fastboot mode? We have tried fastboot commands on terminal but didnt get anywhere with file recovery...
so no solution?
U can do it, but u need dissasembly the phone, to make test point, if phone isn't hw damaged yes u can fix it in that way

Hi, I have same problem. Stuck on HUAWEI logo and power off do restart.
Phone is with last stock FW, FRP and BOOTL. locked. I tried update from SD card, but no succes. All buttons combinations not working except fastboot. But in fastboot, there is no possibility to do something due to locked btldr.
But I have one advantage, I have same phone model with same firmware working. Is there any possibility to recover bad piece?
*bump*
anyone who fixed this ?
