[Q] Urgently need help: Atrix 4G Stuck on "Dual Core" screen after flashing to CM9
My Atrix 4G was stock Gingerbread 2.3.6 on v4.5.141 - rooted and unlocked. I followed the instructions to flash CM 9- following the instructions. I used ROM Manager to make a backup of my stock 2.3.6 and the ClockWorkMod. Things did not work out after I followed the instructions.
Now my phone says, "Unlocked" at the top left and shows the Motorola logo and the dual core technology. Its not bricked- I can still access the Android Recovery menu. I even tried to return the device to default through the Android Recovery menu but that didn't work (its still stuck). I can't find the recovery files either.
Since I have unlocked 2.3.6 - I cannot flash sbf files through RSD without bricking my device. How can I return to my earlier stock configuration? Will I be able to keep root?
Thanks.
Are you saying you cannot flash your backup? Also have you tried to flash a fruitcake in recovery? Rom Manager saves to internal SD try to restore from internal and see if that fixes issue.

What is a fruitcake? I read that there is a large chance the phone
How could I flash a backup without actually accessing the application on my phone? What program would I use on my pc to gain access to the backup? I've already wiped the data and factory reset my phone through the Android Recovery menu... would this delete all I can't access my internal SD card from the standard Android Recovery menu.

You can flash your backup through the Android Recovery in the "backup & restore" option (assuming your backup was saved there)
but first via android recovery:
clear data/factory reset
clear cache
advanced>wipe dalvik cache
(that's what I like to do to ensure a clean install of the backup[if such thing exists lol])

Where can I access the backup & restore option?
I think you're talking about another menu. I can't access that menu- when I say Android Recovery, I mean the one that is actually Motorola's. To access it, I hold the power button and lower volume key down, and then find the Android system recovery menu. I get the Android guy and an exclamation point in a triangle, and then hold the up and down volume keys simultaneously. The menu shows the following options:
Android system recovery utility
>reboot system now
>apply update from sdcard
>wipe data/factory reset
>wipe cache partition

I think you have the stock recovery. You need a custom recovery to access to that menu, flash custom roms and do back ups. You can use romracers recovery which is commonly used

I think that you flashed a wrong recovery because "normal" ones have
-reboot system
-install zip from sdcard
-wide data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-backup and restore
-mounts and storage
-advanced
I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.1.8 (CWM touch recovery)
try to flash another recovery like the newest one (CWM touch recovery)

Is Romracers recovery used on the phone or computer? I can't use apps on my phone. How do I use Romracers? Yes, I am a noob to the glorious world of Android .

That's a recovery so access it by holding down the power button and volume down and then on "Android Recovery" push power up. Then you will boot into the recovery, try to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, advanced> wipe dalvik cache then reinstall the CM9 rom. It will probably work this time because you have the right recovery.

Hold the power and volume down button until you see fast boot. Use volume down button to scroll down until recovery shows and then press the volume up button. Then recovery menu should up.

I'm having the same issue I used Tenfar's cwm and now I only receive the dual core screen and when I try to go into recovery I get magic value mismatch. Something tells me the phone is doomed.

hello, i cant open my phone, after i press the power button and the boot opens, after that it just goes black, i used a custom rom, then i went to settings and wipe factory with the USB storage ( thinking that it would just clean my USB storage 11.5GB not at recovry, its in phone> settings) after rebooting it just went to boot logo with the yellow triangle, then it goes black, please help me ((
Just to make sure that I understand what you did, you selected the "wipe data/factory reset" option?
Also, can you go into recovery mode again?

yes i wipe data / factory reset and also pressed the USB storage to clean up , i did this at the phone settings, not on recovery mode.. please help, i cant go even at recovery mode
See if you can go in the download mode. If so, find your stock firmware here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 and flash it through Odin. It will all be explained in the thread anyway.
I'm pretty sure this is the only thing you can do since you can't get into recovery mode nor boot the phone.

Yep, you'll have to root it again.
I think I have messed up, I just flashed to the Cyanogen 7.2 Rom, it flashed ok and the phone works. But so far I have a few problems, I am not unable to answer calls. When it rings, I need to unlock the phone, manually go into the phone app in order to do so.
I am also missing the notification bar.... I can't see it anywhere.
Another problem is I can no longer access the phone when connected to the computer as it does not have the option to allow me to use as usb mass storage any more. When it is plugged in pc will pick it up but the drive is greyed out.
Please help.

just do a factory reset (in the first menu), than flash again and don't forget to wipe cache partitation and dalvik cache, fix permissions aswell to be sure. If that does not work you can go with the QDL-tool. It almost impossible to completely brick your phone due to software, as only the -w command in fastboot could do that but it would not even boot in that situation...

Which of the first menu are you refering to? I am confused....
I have now entered recovery and just done a factory reset, let see what happens
1) Go into StreakMod and do a factory reset.
2) Go into the main recovery menu and do a factory reset.

I did that by going into recovery then I did a factory reset, after that it will just loop at the boot up screen. I had to take the battery out as it was hung for like 20mins. Now it's bricked and it won't even boot back up....
:crying:
Both should not brick anything. Try to enter the recovery again and do the factory reset (the first one now), and flash again. If it does not work get a fresh install by doing the QDL-tool all the information is on the forum.

in this case you dont need to use qdl tool... just streakmod recovery...
install either dsc 1.0 or longhorn 2.7 and see if it helps... everything should work fine with those two rom...
once it works... install kernel test 3... but be sure to install the correct kernel.... dsc, its own kernel... longhorn, cm7 kernel... and then fastboot 366 baseband for better voice, mic and telco cell reception quality
I was trying to flash CM and made the stupid mistake of only flashing the boot.img and now my dna repeatedly restarts and won't get past the droid light thing. The rom files and gapps are not on my sd card. I can't get a connection to adb and my computer doesn't see the device. ADB will recognize the device at one part during the bootloop but says "offline" right next to it. I'm s-off (moonshine), rooted, and have CWM recovery. I've tried wiping the cache, dalvik cache, and tried a factory reset. None of those worked. If I lose this phone I'm really screwed, is there no way to get out of this?

Boot in CM recovery and there is an option to connect the phone to the computer as a USB. There you can put the rom files etc and flash it again.

I ended up fixing the problem by finding out what sideloading is and sideloading the rom/gapps. Thanks for the help though!
This morning I tried to update the phone, package was fully downloaded through "AT&T Software Update" but when it rebooted it got stock on the HTC boot logo. I could reboot the phone and bring up the fastboot menu but nothing else; phone had stock rom and not rooted.
Is there anyway to fix it? If my only option is to manually download the update, is there anyway to backup my photos first, cause the manual update will wipe the phone.
Thanks.
Are you rooted? able to go into bootloader?

Not rooted, I can go into the bootloader.
Also choosing recovery option in the bootloader, only the triangle will come up and I can not reach the recovery menu.
I think one way is to flash the recovery and for that I need to unlock the phone. Is there anyway to unlock the phone in this state without wiping it?

That's stock recovery. To flash custom recovery, you'd need to be bootloader unlocked. Unlocking your bootloader will wipe your data.
Does adb work in stock recovery? While in stock recovery, run "adb devices" from a command prompt (navigated to your adb directory). If it recognizes the device, you can do "adb pull /sdcard/dcim /path/to/where/you/want/pics" and it should pull the folder. Then you can run RUU or unlock, flash custom recovery, and flash custom ROM

didn't work:
- Went to the recovery mode, phone displayed a picture of a phone with a red triangle and no menu.
- tried "adb devices", didn't show any device.
- Then, held down volume up and power key, but no menu appeared, instead phone got rebooted to the HTC logo screen again.
If I have followed the right steps to get to the stock recovery, is there any other way to pull sdcard with adb?
All suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

When in recovery, the triangle with red exclamation point, push up volume and power and couple times until you berths blue menu. Then you should be able to do a factory reset or a cache wipe.

Thanks for the tip, got to the blue menu with "SDCard mount failed".
I tried all options except "wipe data/factory reset" and non helped.
- Is there any way to preserve the photos in this mode and then use RUU? adb not working.
- Would "wipe data/factory reset" reflash the stock rom? and would it delete photos?
All suggestions are welcomed

I believe that wipe factory reset should not wipe the picture but wait for someone to confirm as I'm never too sure with these devices. Always had phone with external sd card support.

Could anybody confirm that please? Does the factory reset in Stock Recovery wipe the sd card and photos?
Yep!

Doing so,once wiped data is gone.
