[Droid 2 General] tanpatnode:
I really hope someone can help me here. I rooted a Droid 2 (not global) for a friend a while back and now we seem to have a problem. He got the main idea of how it all works but he said he tried to put a new rom on, wiped data and cache and the rom apparently never loaded. Now when he turns it on it bootloops. I figured this wasn't going to be an issue, all i'd have to do is go into recovery and flash a backup. Well problem is, it wouldn't go into recovery via power+X and then the search button. It brought me into something I had never seen. All it had was:

Reboot Phone

Install update.zip

wipe partition

wipe data and cache

After trying for two hours and not getting anything with trying to get a D2 rom and renaming it update.zip we still had nothing so stupid me wiped data and cache.

Now I don't get a boot image all it does is send me to bootloader in which I don't know how to navigate and there is nothing on this specific problem.

SO HOW DO I FIX IT?

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!!!!
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
What you saw was the stock recovery, not the custom recovery used to flash ROMs. Boot into the stock recovery and wipe data and cache from there. This should fix your bootloop. If not, you might have to SBF, reroot, and try reflashing your ROM.

If you have to, here is the guide to SBF:

And is the SBF file to download:

Gingerbreak can root this just fine. (It's universal for FroYo)
[Atrix 4G General] barry99705:
Att. It's working now. Took about an hour.
[Atrix 4G General] fsturbo15:
So just use RSD to flash this on ATT branded Atrix followed by gingerbreak?

Currently on 1.57 Gingerblur.
[Atrix 4G General] danboard:
Yup, thats all you need to do.
[Atrix 4G General] yiyo:
If I'm on gingerblur can I just use RSd lite? Is everything going to erase?
[Atrix 4G General] DannyV94:
I'm on GreyBlur 2.1. Will this work?
[Atrix 4G General] fsturbo15:
I'm pretty sure this is a complete wipe and reinstall so your phone will be just like when you first turned it on after unboxing.

Gingerblur and Greyblur are not compatible with 1.83 so your best bet is to flash and root and wait for an updated version or just wait and see if there is an easier upgrade method...

EDIT:

Just went through with it.... All my apps are still there, gingerblur theme/tweaks are obviously gone with all the stock moto stuff back like the dialer, keyboard, and some bloatware.
[Atrix 4G General] justarookie:
I flashed over clean 4.1.57 sbf. But people have flashed over gingerblur. U kill keep all apps and settings.

I suggest you read Mr. Clown's post, LancerV.
[Atrix 4G General] LancerV:
I did but it SBF and RSD are stolen software from Motorola no matter what way you cutt it ;) I suggest you learn what copyrighted material means ;)
[Atrix 4G General] ceo.mtcl:
I suggest you read the rules properly LancerV. No one its stealing any thing. No one sold rsdlite. No one signed any agreement no to sell or share that software. It was leaked. It is not like Microsoft office software that someone buys and shares on torrent. that's illegal. You sign a contract not to share it. But rsdlite no where makes you signa contact to share or not to share it.

It's a development forum. Things go wrong and you need tools to fix them. Stop whining and be happy that there are PPL here who are sharing stuff 'legally'.
[Atrix 4G General] LancerV:
9. Don't get us in trouble.

Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.

But since its not illegal I just emailed motorola links to every SBF :cool:
[Atrix 4G General] Snakeyez86:
Lol Lancer u are such a douchebag, why the hell are u even on xda forums? No one stole anything, those that were given it early just shared with the rest of us, its not like Motorola doesnt plan on releasing 1.8.3 to the public anyway, RSD can be found all over the internet, all ur gonna accomplish is making people post new mirrors, go troll somewhere else
[Atrix 4G General] Snakeyez86:
Right.. Because motorola cant do anything about it, its been downloaded by hundreds, just takes one (me) to repost and continue cycle. All u are doing is giving people a reason to flame u and making it harder for the Atrix community to get this phone to its full potential.
[Atrix 4G General] Mr. Clown:
Can you please post the link? I can't find it.(from motorola as you mention).

Thanks,
[Atrix 4G General] Mr. Clown:
I know this will be launched, but before it's not officially launched by motorola and it's under NDA will not be posted here.
[Atrix 4G General] dmdmd:
Sorry for interrupting the pissing match, and for what may be a dumb question, but do I need to pull my sim and sd to update with this?

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] Gutterball:
All those sbf's posted are from the xda site so you will also be getting this site in trouble would you not? Either way what benefit do you get from getting people in trouble? That was a **** of a move and isn't helping anybody! Just another rat trying to get some cheese well don't be surprised when the trap snaps on your own neck!

Also if motorola originally had this in an update on their site that they were allowing the public to dl? then why would this be a problem considering no nda was signed or implied for this specific file!?
[Atrix 4G General] ceo.mtcl:
no you do not need to necessarily pull the sim card out. While rooting using ginger break I got two calls, and i was a little worried. But the phone just rebooted and everything was fine.
[Atrix 4G General] Mr. Clown:
Stop the offtopic posts, with the help of the member kennethpenn he has provided me a link that this effectively has been launched by motorola (source)in their update support page.

So I will let this thread open but will be moved to general forums since isn't dev.
[Atrix 4G General] Mr. Clown:
Nothing will happen to XDA since this has been posted already and shared by motorola (as well as AT&T).

If you read my thread regarding NDA..it clearly talks about firmwares under NDA.

Cheers, back on topic please.
[Atrix 4G General] ceo.mtcl:
I agree with you.

Lets get back on topic.

Flashed 1.83 sbf, lost data connection

I flashed the 1.83 sbf using sbf_flash (ubuntu user) and it seemed to go well. The phone rebooted, everything looked good, but it seems i've lost my data connection with AT&T and my fingerprint sensor seems to have stopped working as well. WiFi works, phone calls and texts work, but again, no data.

I checked my phone status (4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US, Android 2.2.2, Baseband: N_01.77.07P), Build number: OLYFR_U4_1.8.3).

When I look under *#*#4636#*#* I get the following that looks like it might be of interest:

GSM Disconnects: =====DATA=====

State: DcInactiveState

disconnected with last try at 1:03PM

fail because Unknown Data Error

================

From here I pressed the hard menu button, then the resulting "Enable data connection", but it didn't seem to help. I've rebooted, removed the battery and SIM card, but still no data.

Any help and/or advice will be very much appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: Weird, the data connection just started working again, all of a sudden. Fingerprint sensor works now, too. Strange. Any comments on what the deal might have been would be interesting to hear.

EDIT #2: The problem came back. I've been without data for about 40 minutes. I drove about 200 miles and crossed a state line, but did maintain a data connection in the new state for awhile. I'm hoping this will spontaneously resolve again, but it seems really weird to me. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] lonestarranger:
I successfully updated with 5.0.0 as well.
[Atrix 4G General] g1g:
Quick question do you have to have your phone fully charged to flash with rsd??
[Atrix 4G General] UncleCemka:
I just had something similar. All of a sudden, no data. I went into the *#*#4636#*#* menu to try to troubleshoot. Didn't find anything out of ordinary, but by the time I exited, my data was back. I am also on 1.8.3 and right now not sure what the cause or the resolution was...
[Atrix 4G General] badnokia:
I appreciate your taking the time to post; it helps to know someone else had this, too. It has now been several hours with no data & still no spontaneous resolution. When I go to the menu area you indicate to try to troubleshoot I can see it trying to connect to my APN (this would be my custom APN	that used to work for tethering that no longer seems to work now either) & it keeps failing. I've tried using some of the other AT&T stock APNs, but they don't seem to work either. I'm stumped.

I'm starting to wonder if my flash was bad? I noticed my baseband version ends in .07P, but shouldn't it have changed to .15P?
[Atrix 4G General] dicksteele:
.LXterminal missing

Anyone try lxterminal within webtop? I can't find it anywhere after flashing.

Just flashing to 1.57 saved .lxterminal from /usr/bin and flashing 1.83 again.

I did it twice, 1.57 to 1.83 to make sure I wasn't tripping. It ain't under /usr/bin and can't find it anywhere else. Wonder what else is missing ......
[Atrix 4G General] NibblerWeather:
I am getting the EXACT same error. Did you find anything out? No data for me and when I look at the phone information I see the same "DCInactiveState"
[Atrix 4G General] badnokia:
There was a developer thread about a mod to the phone with the 1.87 radio. A guy there had problems when he flashed the radio with his SIM card in. He took it to AT&T and the SIM was bad. I (foolishly in hindsight) took my phone in to AT&T today to see if my SIM was an issue. It wasn't. I think for me the baseband of the radio never was updated properly and stayed at .07P instead of upgrading to .15P. At any rate, they "flashed my phone back to stock" and it still didn't bring back my data. They were going to warranty return my phone, but I couldn't stay to finish that step. Long story short, I ran the *#*#4636#*#* code again and saw that the 1.83 update was still in place. I decided to download the 1.57 sbf file from xda and flashed it to my phone. This got me back to a fully functioning phone (aside from having to reinstall apps). After all the hassle, I'm staying away from this update until it's official and OTA. Flashing it was nothing but a headache for me. I'm glad though that most other people had success with it.
[Atrix 4G General] NibblerWeather:
Thanks badnokia. That is great to hear that you were able to get everything back to normal. I am still downloading 1.57 Interestingly I just recently got Data to work on 1.83. I reflashed the ROM, and after it was all done, still no data. So then, just for kicks, I set it back to factory defaults. Seems to be fine now. Still on 1.83 and Froyo 2.2.2....before I the factory reset I also formated the internal SD just to make sure nothing weird was going on.
[Atrix 4G General] Bloodgod:

ok i'm trying to flash with rsd lite 5.3.1 and i keep getting Fail Internal error while programming phone. i have followed the instructions to the letter posted here http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-991072.html but still get the error. i'm currently using 1.57, rooted.

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Atrix 4G General] yhe2x:
ok it seems that it would take a couple more days for me to get the OTA update so I think I'll just go with this method but before that I would like to know if this can be flashed over GladiAtrix2 or do I have to go back to 1.26 first? then just re-root with GingerBreak?

Also, how do I re-enable sieloading (install non-market apps) and what about deodexing files....has anybody succeeded yet on this?
[Atrix 4G General] badnokia:
That is really great it worked out for you. I say if it's working, then keep it! Had my data come back to stay, I would have kept the 1.83 upgrade, too. Oh well, back to waiting...and waiting...for the OTA.
[Atrix 4G General] DJeneral2:
All,

I was having this exact same issue on 1.8.3, but found a remedy. For me, the problem was that in the process of flashing and upgrading the APNs had been deleted.

Go to Settings >> Wireless & networks >> Mobile networks >> Access point names and see if you have the requisite APN for data.

If not you can create a new one and use:

Name: AT&T

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

Port: 80

Username: wap@cingular.com

Password: cingular1

Server: <Not set>

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310 (default)

MNC: 410 (default)

Authentication type: <Not set>

APN type: <Not set>

Save that and you should have your data back instantly.

Now my only problem is that my corporate contacts aren't syncing...grrrrr.
[Atrix 4G General] DJeneral2:
Cured my own issue in case anyone else ran into it...I had to go into my Corporate Sync account, UNCHECK "Contacts" and save the account. The contacts started rolling in...then just go back, recheck and you're set.
[Atrix 4G General] jthornton71707:

Thanks you guys for all the help. Running 1.83 from the SBF with GB3. Now that the OTA update is live, I wonder if its the same as the 1.83SBF? Hopefully GingerBlur 3.1 will work with either.
[Atrix 4G General] nineismine:
I hate to have one of my first posts here be a dumb one but... Can I flash this to my phone if I have one of the Psuedo roms installed? (Grey Blur) I did the SBF flah to get to 1.5.x and I really don't want to wipe all my apps and data again. If I cannot flash this over my current rom, is there any path to 1.83 that doesn't involve a phone wipe?

You can always back everything up with the titanium back up app and restore everything once you're done.

[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
OK, i'm thoroughly confused. the RSD flash failed at 88%, and then the phone would not load into RSD mode anymore. i thought it was bricked. but i let it sit at the red moto logo for about 10 minutes and it booted! my about screen says I am a 1.8.3, and all my apps and settings are still in tact. gmail doesn't work, and i've lost root (expected). i have no idea how the hell that happened. RSD lite clearly said FAILED and did not move further, and I unplugged the phone and pulled the battery.
[Atrix 4G General] LancerV:
Which version of rsd? I my phone did the same
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
5.3.1 or whichever is the newest version. did your phone function properly afterwards?
[Atrix 4G General] LancerV:
Yep try doing it with 5.0, my phone did the same thing when the orginal 1.5.2 sbf came out I tried with 4.9 RSD because 5.0 wasnt leaked yet and than it go to about the same step as you and failed phone wouldnt do anything so the battery just drained itself to its death when I plugged it back in it started working again
[Atrix 4G General] jy1022:
I flashed the 1.83sbf . The phone was rebooted, everything looked so good. Now my problem was that the fingerprint sensor seems to have stopped working and tried to go settings/Location & security settings/change screen lock was force closed. The mobile hotspot was locked. When I tried following to fix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1057665, it doesn't work for me. I was using root explorer can't edit the file even I had tab the top that "Mount r/w". I can't lock screen also.

[Atrix 4G General] unity311mu:
I have tried this multiple times, tried reflashing, factory reset, etc. It always goes back to the same data disconnect problems with this SBF. Are people still having problems here? Nothing I do makes it work. Even when I was on stock (before flashing GingerBlur 3.1) the HSPA network still wouldn't connect, same issues. Anyone have any suggestions? If I wasn't leaving to go out of town in 2 hours I would try flashing 1.5.7 (which I KNOW works) and just update OTA.
[Atrix 4G General] badnokia:
What a bummer to be under the gun like that! As you already know, the only resolution I found was to flash back to 1.57, then OTA update 1.83. That said, the reason I flashed back to 1.57 was because the OTA wasn't available at the time. Have you considered just doing the OTA update without flashing back to 1.57? I had always wondered if that would have worked.
[Atrix 4G General] unity311mu:
You mean try updating to OTA right now? It doesn't work since I'm already on the leaked 1.8.3 :( So are you not having any issues with your OTA update to 1.8.3 from 1.5.7? I'm thinking this is the way to go for people that are having radio problems...just wish I had enough time to test. Maybe tonight in the hotel room.

***Edit*** It really is inconvenient not being able to do anything before I go out of town, and for that reason I appreciate the quick response!
[Atrix 4G General] badnokia:
Although no one ever confirmed my suspicions, I think when I first flashed this copy of 1.83 it did not update my radio properly. My radio version stayed at .07P instead of updating to .15P. Are you also having this problem? If so I had wondered if the OTA would still be available to you. If not, then I suppose you stuck with finding WIFI connections for data until you can flash back to 1.57. But just to confirm, the OTA 1.83 did restore my data, as did the flash to 1.57 before it. Good luck!
[Atrix 4G General] unity311mu:
No I read this entire forum before posting and saw that...I checked earlier and have .15P.

But how about this for irony? Travelling FIXED the problem. The towering was connected to at my house must not have been reregistering my cell correctly; as soon as I got on the road I've got a great connection (posting from my phone now). Anyone having these issues make sure to move around a bit!!

Another potential fix I thought of before it fixed itself was flashing just the new radio itself, found elsewhere on the Atrix Dev forum (I think its the HSUPA Enabled on ATT topic). It is a very small SBF and just includes the proper HSPA radio necessary for HSUPA. Thanks for the responses, and I hope this helps some people figure things out.
[Atrix 4G General] badnokia:
That it's great! Good for you. I hope the spontaneous resolution will be permanent. I was also going to flash that other radio, but decided not to once the 1.57 flash worked (& I got the OTA the next day...lol...go figure).
[Atrix 4G General] unity311mu:
Two days and counting...so far so good! I think something is amiss as my phone runs fairly hot now and battery life is degraded, but I will take the tradeoff for data connection for now and figure out the rest later.
[Atrix 4G General] DarrellRaines:
Did you let your battery drain completely and then recharge it while the phone was off when you flashed the SBF?
[Atrix 4G General] Saschwatch:
Is there a way to have it go straight into charge mode when you plug it in besides hitting the charge mode button from the recovery app once it's already booted up?
[Atrix 4G General] unity311mu:
I had it completely charged when I flashed, then drained it completely until it died and charged it overnight while on. I have never done what you said, have you had good luck with that? How do I charge it while off? It usually turns on right away when I plug it in.

***Edit*** and when I turn it off while plugged in it automatically reboots.
