[Atrix 4G General] upndwn4par:
The purpose of this thread is to hopefully limit the number of repeat questions / calls for help in Q&A.

(if I see one more request to help fix a boot loop I'm going to strangle someone! :))

The first place you should always look for information is the Beginners Guide. Tons of good stuff there.

If anyone has any additional helpful information, post below and I will add it to the OP.

If you find that any of the links are broken, please let me know so I can fix them.

If files are not available at the linked resource, they are available at the bottom of this post.

And always remember xda rule #1:

"Search before posting: Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news."

ADB not connecting to / can't find device:

Check to make sure you have the correct drivers installed on your PC.

Try disconnecting then reconnecting USB cable from PC.

On your PC open task manager, kill all instances of adb.exe, then start again.

Battery won't charge to 100%

1) Pull battery while charging

2) Wait for the question mark, then replace battery

3) Let battery charge for 1-2 hours

4) Wipe battery stats in CWM

Or try ravilov's Battery Fix app.

Battery too Low to Recover from Problem

Charge your battery with a wall charger, or use a USB cable.

Boot Loop

1) Pull battery

2) Replace battery while holding the volume down button

3) Use volume down to navigate to either recovery or fastboot, then press volume up

Once in:

Recovery - restore your backup or re-flash ROM

Fastboot - flash newer version of recovery or re-flash ROM

Fastboot Information

See post #2

Hard Brick

Consider using your device as a paperweight or doorstop. :) (or donate it to a dev)

Maybe if you are really lucky, something here might help.

Ram Low After Bootloader Unlock

Ramfix

Recovery Not Working (Just Rooted & Unlocked Bootloader)

You most likely followed a guide or used an automated tool with an outdated version of recovery.

Download the most recent version of CWM, then flash with fastboot (see post #3).

Return to Stock

The best and safest way to return to stock is by restoring the nandroid backup you made when you first installed CWM.

The next best way to return to stock is by flashing a fruit cake with CWM. Fruitcakes can be found here, and at the two links on the bottom of this post. There are some international fruit cakes available at the Atrix Reboot Project.

The third option is to fastboot flash a boot and system image (see post #4) from a fruit cake (links below). Or, fastboot flash a stock nandroid backup.

The least safe and least desirable method is to flash an sbf. This should only be used as a last resort (see entry for Hard Brick).

Rooting

The easiest way to root: Link

The way that you will learn something: Link1 Link2

There is not an established method for rooting the newest OTA (4.5.145). Exiting methods are hit or miss.

Sleep of Death (SOD)

Some users have had success with doubling the minimum CPU clock speed.

With CM7/9/10 you can adjust the clock speed in settings. Otherwise, try SetCPU.

This problem is not well understood, and usually the only real cure is returning to stock.

Soft Brick (Failed to boot XXXX)

Read this post, install software (Iinked below), select option 3.

Soft Keys not Working

Try Button Savior from the Play Store
