I just received my phone and noticed an odd screen issue after updating the firmware:
Notice the slight line around the screen. The odd part is that I do not see the line when I have a white screen, I also do not see it when I am in clockworkmod nor do I see the lines when the boot screen is loading.
Is my screen going out or what?
I had this problem with my first Atrix and I searched high and low with no workable solution. Some say it is a firmware issue. Honestly, there's no fix to my knowledge, without forking over some cash for a new digitizer. Only option is to get another one or another phone Lord willing. Apologies. Well, unless you can bear with it. It doesn't effect performance from what I saw, but it's annoying and no matter what I couldn't ignore it as if it wasn't there.lol

Well I can deal with it as I got a pretty good deal on the phone (off contract via ebay) but it is still very annoying. If I can deal with it till November, I am eligible for an upgrade from ATT (with some money of course).
I would definitely blame it on the firmware. If you are getting crazy lines all the way through you could probably blame it on the video. I see this all the time at my work. Try a hard reset, back up your data.

Thanks!! I will try to fully upgrade the firmware to 4.5.141 instead of stopping at 4.5.91.
How would you go about upgrading the firmware if you already unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device? If this is indeed a firmware issue, how would I go about this. I searched the forum and found a lot of conflicting answers. If you could provide me with a good link, I would appreciate it.
Thanks
I am thinking about following this in the morning when I have my phone fully charged and I was wondering if you see any issue with running this?
http://www.android-advice.com/2012/fix-bricked-motorola-atrix-after-ota-update/
My phone is not bricked but I want to revert to stock (locked bootloader, remove root, etc) to see if the issue is indeed a firmware issue. Then I can re-unlock the bootloader, enable root again and restore or reinstall CM9.
Thanks

You will not ever lock the bootloader once unlocked. All you can do is hide the unlocked text. It is a fuse that gets burned when unlocking the bootloader.

Ok, I am not worried about the unlocked text, all I want to do is update to the official firmware.

Can't help there. I'm done with crapblur. Staying on cm roms now. You could go with nottachrix, his rom is based off 2.3.6 and you can choose full blur or blur removed when installing.
Well I think I hardbricked my phone anyway --
Failed to boot 1
PwrReason: PWR_KEY_PRESS
Starting Fastboot protocol support
Battery is too low to flash

Granted the battery did run out of juice but not until I finished upgrading the firmware:

Click to expand...

I made sure not to flash lower than the original 4.5.91
Pretty much before I got a chance to install clockworkmod again, the battery died. When I went to restart the phone to go into SBF, I got the above message. I tried booting the phone without the battery in it and it says the "Failed to boot 1" (since I do not have a rom installed yet) but if I try to run fastboot, I get the battery is too low to flash.
I am not for sure if this is a hardbrick or if my battery is just dead but I have charged it for about an hour so far with the same message.
I ordered another battery before this incident so I should get another next week but I am so worried that I hardbricked my device and I will not be able to recover.
Frick!!!
I am so screwed...... I cannot get it turn on with just the battery in but I can disconnect the power cable and the screen stays at Failed to boot 1.
I am at a loss as I have read a ton of threads here on the "battery too low to flash" but none of them are same as my issue. I really do not know what I can do as I bought the phone on ebay for $200 and just received it yesterday.
Well now I have it plugged into my computer and the screen is off but now the green charging light is on again. The computer recognized it as a usb device called MOBOOT and the Motorola USB Networking driver miniport is showing up in Device Manager.
Any ideas?
I am using this method (post 2) DIY active micro-usb cable to battery posts (post #2 method) to charge the battery for a few hours:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528729
Then I will will try to continue the OP's method to recover my device.
I cannot believe it, this method fixed my issue with "Battery is too low to flash"!!!
I am now in the process of flashing the firmware via RSD Lite.
I had an issue with the Bluetooth and wifi radios on my original atrix so I bought a used one. the used one had an issue similar to yours though not as severe.
I finally got around to replacing the actual LCD with the good one and problem is gone... I don't think it's firmware related, more than likely, hardware is the culprit.

Actually the screen is really not that bad as the camera I used shows the lines much more than they appear.
BTW how much did the lcd cost and where did you buy it from?
Send my Xperia S in at the end of June for the yellow tints problem. Waited two weeks and Sony replied that they wouldn't repair the phone because of "illegal unlock"?? The phone is factory unlocked. Tried to discuss this issue on http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/34135, and 1 day later my account with sonymobile was suspended. Just feel so disappointed with Sony's customer service.
Wow.
What was your user name over there?
Have you unlocked your bootloader or sent it in rooted or something like that?
If that's the case, it's normal that they didn't touch it as you lost your warranty if you unlocked your bootloader. If you rooted it, you should have restored it before sending, because technically, rooting voids your warrantytoo.
Maybe you bought it used and the previous owner unlocked the bootloader and didn't tell you?
ditto (well i unlocked the bootloader, with a code provided by SONY, which is hardly illegal, but I guess they're really playing the voided warranty issue on this)

Had got the same problem with yellow tints, but my phone wasn't unlocked and has been repaired by Sony in two weeks.
If you had unlocked your phone even with the Sony method it's indicate that warranty is avoid in this case.
Interesting...with an unlocked bootloader it still shouldn't have been an issue. Your warranty is in theory still intact, just with CPU modifications and such afterwords that can void it (overclocking and such with custom kernels). In the terms it just says "may" so they avoid liability if you break it yourself. It appears in this case (and the other one posted above) they decided to throw that out the window and just say "meh, sorry, today, because it's cold and didn't sleep well, its your fault."
You didn't by any chance have Doom's kernel on when you sent it in?
It's almost like every center changes their interpretation of a voided warranty depending on the weather or if they just feel like it .
I wouldn't associate your account being blocked as Sony's fault though, as you picked a username that appears to be picked by bashing your head on the keyboard . It was probably what they thought was a spam account?
If you formatted the device then reflashed it with a stock GB firmware would anyone be able to tell that it had been unlocked ever?

Sony really need to sort themselves out, been going backwards and forwards for weeks. Latest issue is they are now claiming I purchased my phone in another country, it was supplied by my carrier.
Been a Sony fan since x10, but they are getting worse with cs. The phones are better, but they really need to train their staff.
My phone is not foreign, how the hell would they know in the first place? They've never seen the phone and I have never been asked for an imei number.
This is a joke now.

We over in the HTC forums have the same prob, unlock the bootloader then you lose all warranty on your phone. We have faulty WiFi antenna on the One X, the contacts don't connect the antenna correctly, HTC say that if you unlocked your bootloader you can't get the antenna fixed, no one can say how unlocking a bootloader and WiFi antenna can be connected in any way, but HTC are being dogs about it. As for the yellow tints, they are a common problem across the bord, it's only the glue sticking the screen and the glass, play some games, give your phone a good use to heat it up and you will find that,the yellow tints go after a week or so
It's odd to see that it seems all/most mobile manufactures some what lack customer service.

haha, that's interesting. I got that username because they said my normally used one has been taken. I've never done any CPU overclocking/mod, or never had any customer kernel installed. I don't know their "illegal unlock" means network unlock or software unlock. The phone was sent back to the repair centre with original GB software.
Here is the feedback from Sony UK's repair center, if this can help. I can guarantee the phone is working properly with photo evidence. I don't know why see put Display broken rather than "yellow tints".etc. Now the phone sounds totally dead at the Sony repair center.
Perhaps they tested it for so long it's run out of battery!
I'd be complaining like hell right now to Sony Customer Services!!

Hi Guys,
In the past few days ive noticed that if i dont check my phone regularly it will simply refuse to wake up (screen on). I know the phone is still working as the LightFlow settings still use the notification light when needed. I have also had situations where the phone wakes up but theres no touch functions, but locking and waking up again fixes that in 1 try. Has anyone else had this issue or am I going to have to send the phone back?
Thanks
Michael
P.S. The phone is not rooted and hasnt been updated since out the box. Any suggestions to root the phone to fix this will be ignored.
Uninstall LightFlow it has been known to cause this issue.
That is all we can suggest unless your willing to root.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had my HTC Desire rooted and this has put me off rooting my phone at the moment, but I was waiting for the Jelly Bean AOSP anyway.
Not trying to take this too far off topic, but what do you have against root? All root effectively is is an admin mode, you don't have to flash a custom rom.

I dont have anything against root. Its just that when I have a problem with my phone and people suggest to root it, if it doesnt work im kinda screwed over with warranty etc.

Yes, but u can use "triangle away" (by chainfire) to reset flash counter(found in download mode) and flash a stock rom with Odin and back is your warranty.
root...warranty...bla bla bla...why want to return just because of that? do u know that samsung software engineers sucks? i bought nexus, and i just use it for 1 week. want to know why? because it's so boring. the phone so perfect. no problem at all. nothing to tweak, nothing to fix, nothing to improve. i switch back to Samsung Galaxy because of this (before this use SGS1, now SGS3). so, if you have problem like THIS, change your kernel, or just sit and wait for update to fix it. samsung monitoring it (SLOWWWWWLYYY)

Over here afaik at least within the first period the seller has to actually prove you caused the damage to refuse the claim.
Having a rooted device will not stand as having caused hardware-damage.
So far I've yet to hear about a single case of warranty being refused in this country due to software modifications.
If it was as simple as putting a "Waranty void if removed" sticker on stuff actually having any meaning, that would be the end of democraty. Fortunately the law tells otherwise and manufacturers have to obey it (or buy their own law... at least in the USA that seems to work)
However it most certainly will make repairs far easier if the device is stock since they cannot even try to blame you for incorrect configurations or bad flashes.

Thanks for the help guys, Im on holiday at the moment so I'll see if theres a Kernal update when I get home. If not I'll check on the Jelly Bean (or something popular thats been out for a long time) rom stability and root for that. If nothing helps from those ill use the Triangle program to get rid of the root history and send it back for repairs.
EDIT: My Kernal is from May 13th. Surprised I havent had an update come thorugh yet. There isnt even a check for update button in my "About Phone"

Are you by any chance on Orange UK or Three UK? (Can't remember which of both was it)
They've removed that button in their bloatware-edition of the Samsung ROM - probably to prevent users from updating over 3G connectivity.

Just flash any Samsung- or aftermarket-ROM (I recommend CM9 or the CM9-based ParanoidAndroid) of your choice and you're good.
DXLF3 modem should work well according to what I've heard.
Hello folks, i've been rooted for a while now and i was wondering if there is any custom recovery for the verizon v10 yet? The reason is because i messed up my google apps and i need to flash them to make the market work again. Any input would be appreciated.
As of right now no, we need the bootloader unlocked first and thats gonna be a minute. So just do a flash back to stock. Theres also a option where it won't wipe your data, instead of upgrade in the programs options just select refurbished instead ( I think, you'll have to look it up).

I'm pretty decent at fixing the G4 bootloop. It's caused by the NAND coming away from the board. Have to reflow it and pray it isn't to far gone. Sometimes it works forever sometimes just Kong enough to get data from. Sad to hear that the V10 is displaying the same issue. Haven't seen any at my shop yet but then again have only seen 3 or 4 V10s.

I had to warrenty my v10 due to random issues i.e. icons would be grey blocks, apps would act as if they'd been wiped. Tried doing a recovery restore from my pc and it still did it. Literally the phone was loosing it's memory.
Well I just sold my v10 so be looking for that bootloader to be unlocked soon.
So many know vulnerabilities to try, so little time... HAHA if on 5.1.1 it's possible
After months of knowing that my bootloader can't be unlocked " bootloader unlock allowed no ", i got bored with Android MM and I'm more concerned about my security thus I'm thinking of replacing this locked motherboard with an unlockable one, there's a shop nearby that offered trading of motherboards
Do you guys think it's a good idea or I'm just hyped and excited so maybe I'm not thinking straight
I've got the same problem. I was thinking of buying Z2 with broken screen and then exchange it with mine. But I don't really feel like heating up the phone just to open it. Besides there's no guarantee that the new motherboard/phone will have unlockable bootloader. Such a shame, I like my Z2.
Have you tried unlocking it through the official way anyway? I came across a thread on reddit where guy was able to unlock Z5c's bootloader even though the service info said no. I just don't know how legit it is.
https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/4gnc99/z5c_bootloader_unlocked_allowedno/
i actually have opened my z2 a couple of times, one time for replacing the screen and i changed the speaker too, so im pretty used to it, im thinking of going to the store and and test the motherboard myself to see if its unlockable or if it has other issues, but this idea aint growing on me probably because its too much of a risk, as much as im hyped for it i dont think it's worth all that risk
I have tried the official way they gave the unlock code but when i tried the command line way it didnt work it says " FAILED <remote:Command not allowed>", flash tool didnt work too when i checked the logs i noticed a line " rooting status : NOT ROOTABLE ", after all this i was pretty convinced that theres no way i could unlock it
for the record, ive contacted the isp that locked the bootloader to see if they can give some assistance unfortunately they said " thats something we cant offer"
