[Atrix 4G Android Development] android-DEP:
Should be ok, it is always the best and safest way to do a full wipe of course but you should be good as long as you do wipe the Cache & the Dalvik Cache before flashing, you shouldn't run into any problems or bootloops

Goto the Play store and download Logcat Extreme, its made by SCDEVS & it's a free log cat app and color coded with start and pause buttons to cut the log whenever you want so it doesn't keep recording and just email what you have so far in a .txt file to any email address you want. Get the app, go through the exact routine of what you were doing and make the phone go through all the steps you mentioned it goes through to cause it to bug out and afterwards when it reboots and comes back, jump into Logcat Extreme and press the pause button to cut the log so it doesn't keep recording any further and email it to me at depone@att.net. Without being able to see what was going on under hood when that happens, you can guess forever on what the issue is so let me take a look at the sequence of events that transpired to pinpoint the error and correct it. I had weird errors like this using Stevendeb25's MIUI\CM7 Hybrid rom and it was frustrating

to have the phone randomly reboot on me all day plus it was homophobic to accepting a charger cable connection and every time I would put the charger cable into the port, phone would become unresponsive and reboot within 5-10 seconds indefinitely, but I loved the rom, stuck with it for weeks until i decided to drop the headaches and make my own flavor of something like that rom but minus all the headaches and bipolar random bug outs or any future support for improvement of the rom without the dev's support

I can understand that, i know some people who are trying to do as much online as possible without using anything by\from\related to Google for various reasons they believe in and thats cool, I'm not one to argue someone's preference. You can just simply use 7zip to just open the archive without extracting it, go into the system folder, goto the "build.prop" file at the bottom, should be the only file in the list, everything else is all folders so it's easy to spot. Double click on build.prop, or you can alternatively just drag and drop it anywhere on your computer to edit it with the regular notepad or preferably notepad++. Inside the file, scroll down to the section labeled Google DNS Tweak and just remove those lines and make sure to save the file before you close out of it. Now when you flash the rom, that setting will not be present.

On the other hand, if you already have it installed and just want to remove the tweak, use the esExplorer. Load it up and goto the settings to enable root explorer and mount the system as writeble. Make the root start directory just / instead of the default /sdcard that it's set to by default. Once that's done and you grant it Superuser root permissions after enabling root explorer settings, just browse to /system/build.prop and open the file up with the note editor or GEditor or something to that name when it asks you how you want to view the file and remove the Google DNS Tweak section by removing the lines, then save the file and reboot to flush the dns cache from the system and no more google gaggle doing you're DNS work.

it does not recognize a signal so the app just starts but the dropdown list of display choices stays blank
