What is my status?

Tried to update the FXZ from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 with RSD because the OTA update would always fail to update. RSD failed at 5/20 reboot-bootloader showing that the "No arrival message notification; phone disconnected"

My battery level was okay and charged. Phone will not boot into any mode. Wont boot period. Also no white light.

What am I looking at here? :(

Think I soft-bricked my Atrix 2.

Hey everyone, first time posting on a forum, and sorry if this isn't where this goes, or there's already a solution to my problem (even though I have searched this thread and googled my problem). So today I decided to root my Atrix 2 for the first time and it went well, I rooted it, downloaded Titanium Backup, backed up my apps to my SD card, installed Clockwork Mod, then went to backup in Clockwork's recovery interface. I then went to install the Atrix 2 version of Cyanogen Mod, forgetting to Wipe my device beforehand. I realized this as it was trying to install Cyanogen, panicked and took out my battery. I tried to start my phone back up and it went to the screen with the android symbol lying on his back with his chest open and a red triangle above him. I meddled around and got into the normal android system recovery (somehow clockwork mod had gotten uninstalled) and tried to wipe the phone that way, thinking I could just re-root it and try this again, but after factory reset it still wouldn't boot up like I thought it would. So then I went to the "wipe cache partition" thinking that would work. Still didn't.

I now think I had to of applied an update of a previous android version from THAT cache. And I'm thinking the only way I can recover now is if I downloaded the Android ICS update for Atrix onto my SD card and "applied update from external storage". I would have tried this already, but I don't know where I could find that.

Any help is appreciated.

I had Cm10 installed on my phone and tried to use Boostrap to boot into recovery and that made my phone soft brick. It gets stuck in boot animation and I have to pull battery off to shut it down. It is all the same after I power on. I performed a factory reset but still the same (yes I can get into recovery menu by pressing both volume up and down while powering the device on).

Now can someone please tell me how to fix it? Actually I want to flash Cm10.1 and that's why I tried to boot into recovery with Bootstrap but I forgot we shouldn't use it with Cm10! Can I just flash Cm10.1 from recovery menu to fix it? Someone please help! :(

Thanks in advance.

Ok after reading the previous posts I figured out that an FXZ was needed and I flashed this with RSD Lite:

Need Help

Hi Team,

Thanks for all the efforts that you guys make to keep this fellow device ALIVE. I am in a big TROUBLE as of today and need your help. I have bricked my atrix 2 I don't know if its a soft or hard brick and i am also unable to fxz back to stock. Here is what i did....

I was on the official JB leak, I used the foll fxz to get ICS fastboot-p3_edison-edison-user-4.0.4-6.7.2_GC-180-EDS-20-31-release-keys-ChinaRetail-CN_chn.tar... which worked then rooted & installed atrix 2bootsrapper and flashed the Numa.... this went smooth and i was happy with it

I flashed few flashable zips, lockscreen, restart 3, latest gpapps for ics and at the end used davicis OC 1100 and here the problem started...

After this when i restarted the phone it got stuck on Android is upgrading didnt go through tried couple of restarts but no go...

Now finally thought of fxz again to stock ICS or JB leak but its not working....

I am able to get into AP fast boot mode

RSD lite gives an error when starting to flash ..."Failed flashing process. 1/14 flash cdt.bin"cdt.bin" -> Phone returned FAIL."

After this i went to stock recovery and did a Wipe data/system and then tried fxz's but still the same error

Request you all to help me with the same. Awaiting your response

Help please Bootloop brick!!

Help please. The phone entered a bootloop forever! Install [ROM] CM 4.2.2 10.1 on ATT & T from ICS and everything ok up there, ran great. Then install the bootstraper to restart in CM recovery and out there boot anymore. Among the recovery android system and format the entire system, to reinstall the rom, but will not let me intall and I can not get out of the bootloop. How I can fix this??? Can anyone helpme, please??
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
I didn't quite understand the whole content but from what i can make out you installed CM10.1 and then installed bootstrapper.How many times does it have to be said DON'T INSTALL ANY OTHER RECOVERY ONCE YOU FLASH CM10 or CM10.1

Any how you need to fxz back to ICS now.Download and install the moto drivers and RSD lite.

Download the fxz and flash it.

phone soft bricked

Hi,

I tried installing the leaked jelly beans to my atrix 2 phone. It is an Indian phone.

I followed the instructions from the below link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2092107

It worked perfectly. I was previously using official ICS android. Then rooted the phone and installed titanium back up pro. I restore everything from it.

Then I rebooted and the phone is now stuck at the logo.

I again tried to instal the jellybeans with the help of rtdlite. It says installed successfully. But I am still stuck at the logo screen.

Kindly help me.
[Motorola Atrix 2] abc7887:
Hi guys.

I was doing a lot of research as to how I can fix my phone.

One of the solutions I found was to downgrade to ICS.

I used the following link to downgrade:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1934874

I used RSDlite to instal it. Now, I am able to move past the logo. For 2-3 seconds it asks me to select language and after that it automatically moves to the unlock slider screen where I need to select unlock, camera, messages or phn. But whichever option I select, it does not move ahead.I am now stuck on the unlock screen.

What should I do now?

---------- Post added at 04:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 AM ----------

I had taken my sim out as phone was stuck on logo from last night. Now as soon as I inserted the sim back.I am now able to move past the lock screen.

Can I now use titanium back up pro to restore my data?? I am afraid because all my problems started when I last used TBP.
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
Just don't restore any system apps

[Motorola Atrix 2] abc7887:
Thank you for the reply. really relieved that my phone is up and running. :)

Now that i have experienced jelly beans, I am getting a feeling that ICS is really slow.

Just wanted to ask, if I reinstall the jelly beans with the same method, will it again get stuck at the moto logo or will it work?

If yes, then can I also use TBP(after upgrading to jellybeans) to restore my app data without touching the system apps??
[Motorola Atrix 2] manoj.p0489:
Hi,

[*]If you can only manually boot into AP Fastboot (holding volume ↑ + ↓ + power buttons at the same time) = soft brick

ya.... i have soft brick problem which u have mentioned above.... can u please help me...?

Thanks in advance
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
A little more info s needed??

What were u on before bricking???GB,ICS or JB???

You'll need to fxz back.

See this post for the links you may need.

Also the battery is critical at this point for you as in fastboot the battery doesn't get charged and rsd won't let you flash on a low battery

PS: Avoid quoting the whole OP it just makes no sense.

May the -Mass times Acceleration- be with you...

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

If you follow the steps properly it should work.

What are the apps whose data u restored which caused the bricking??

Actually most of the apps will work but there are some which may not work properly as u made the backup on an ICS base and you're trying to make it work on JB base.

Soft to semi-hard brick & battery help

Hey guys, I require some assistance with with my stock ICS AT&T MB865 A2. My phone is currently in a soft-brick state due to flashing a mod that messed up my system so much that it would boot past BMM, in which I made a backup, to the AT&T logo. I was trying all of yesterday to fxz back to ICS but my computers have issues detecting the phone properly in AP fastboot only (it being on works fine).

When I FINALLY got it to be recognized in fastboot, I stated up RSD lite and it found the phone and everything. Just when I hoped rsd lite wouldn't reset the phone while flashing again, IT DID and caused the entire connection to be completely lost. I was unable to get the phone recognized for hours; numerous battery-pulls, driver re-installations and different cxomputer usb ports did nothing to help. All of this went on until I found out that my battery won't charge while in the soft brick state (only showed the Moto logo) and ended up dying. -_- So I could no longer turn on the phone to get into anything, not even normal booting.

I tried the wall-plug and usb but still wasn't getting any juice, so my only choice left was the McGyver method to charge it today. I tried it, was being careful and everything to monitor the battery but I noticed it wasn't getting hot-though I only charged it for 10 minutes (5 on laptop, 5 on wall charger) and the phone still doesnt start with it, only flickers the moto logo once when I plug it in the wall charger. That happened when the phone was plugged in without the battery and there were times when I saw the "?" battery symbol. How could it be so insane to make the phone system able to prevent charging regardless of its state?

Before I get the typical answers, things to note:

-I have the latest Motorolla drivers (Motorola Device Manager 2.3.9) installed

-I have the oem usb cable and was using it all along, alternating to another one at times (only have 2).

-I'm not on warranty because it's a used phone

-I don't live in the states and ordering replacements is very difficult for me right now

-I did the method correctly, using a usb cord; with the red to plus (+) and black to minus (-)

-Why does RSD lite restart my phone during flashing is that supposed to happen?

-I have all the necessary flashing backups and nandroid backups ready, but I can't turn on the phone.

Thanks in advance!:o
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
Have you installed the latest motorola drivers?

If you can't get your phone to be recognised in fastboot mode then obviously RSD won't help you.

Yes while fxz'ing RSD will reboot the phone several times, so your temporary fix of getting it detected once won't work.I suggest you try this on another computer after fully charging your battery.RSD won't flash on a low battery.

May the -Mass times Acceleration- be with you...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
That's the problem, and yes I have been using the latest Motorola drivers (Motorola Device Manager 2.3.9, is there anything newer/better?) installed, even tried Motohelper. I have tried 4 OS's and 3 computers: Windows XP 32 and 64 bit, Windows 7 32 bit and Windows 8 64bit- ALL of them have problems readily detecting the phone in fastboot mode/installing the fastboot drivers automatically, but not when the phone was on. My current issue is the battery not charging with the MacGyver method, and nothing else is working.

So can someone who has actually done the MacGyver on an Atrix 2 battery please tell me how you did it and how long you charged for? Also, does the type of usb cord really matter? I only have an old printer usb available which is what I used. Thanks in advance

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Edit/Update--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, I'm outta my despair mood because I decided to try charging the phone via computer usb while it had the white LED on. I thought the battery was done for but after an hr of charging, I tried plugging it into the wall charger and now it's back to the "Motorola; Dual Core" logo as it was before the battery died. So what charge method should I try at this point; computer usb or wall charger in this current state? I'm asking in case anyone had a similar kind of soft-brick experience as this.

What Android version were you running previous to the issues, and did your husband do a factory reset or factory restore on it? Is the phone rooted and are you running a custom ROM?

Hardbricked Atrix 2

Hey guys,

I was on stock ICS 4.0.4 and decided to flash to the newly released 4.2.2 CyanogenMod 10.1 (CM 10.1). After I could not boot it due to a known "black screen bug" I decided to use a tool developed for the RAZR called razr_bl_mbm_0a77 which completely eliminated the Fastboot capability of my phone. Now whatever combination of keys I press does not affect my phone at all. RSD Lite does not recognize it either. What should I do?

Thanks a lot
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
That sounds like a very messy situation, but you really cannot access anything related to the boot menu (recovery, BP tools, etc.)? :confused: If you can't, then I'm unsure of any other way you A2 can be helped. Don't give up hope, someone else more experienced in such an issue may assist you better. :) Just in case, are you still on warranty?

This one's confusing me

So here's a strange one for you. I've got an ATT Atrix 2 unlocked, rooted, and that until yesterday was on MIUI 5. There were a couple of programs that weren't working on the phone for some reason, so I decided to move to back to the lovely Numa rom. I had Cyanogendefy as the recovery, and did the usual factory reset/clear cache before I installed the zip from the SD card. And that's where the trouble started.

After I rebooted the phone, it got to the Numa boot screen, but then seemed to freeze. After a long time (maybe 30 minutes?) I decided to pull the battery, since it wouldn't power off. I powered it back on, and it seemed to progress a little further, getting to a screen where it said it was updating applications. It again froze during this process, and after a half hour or so I pulled the battery and tried again. I have incrementally moved it forward to the point where it says it is finishing the boot process, but it doesn't get any further than that. Just a black screen at that point, and doesn't go any further.

I decided that maybe RSDLite might be in order, so I downloaded the appropriate files to return to the 4.0.4, but my computer, with the latest version of the Motorola device drivers, doesn't recognize the phone in RSDLite.

Not really sure where I need to go from here. I'm hoping someone can help, since this is my daily driver phone, and I don't know what else to do from here. If there were a way to get this thing up and living again, that would be awesome. I don't really know what went wrong, but it went wrong in a pretty damned bad way, it seems.
[Motorola Atrix 2] iamezio:
Did turn off the phone (pull the battery out) hold volume down and turn on the phone , it should recognize it from fastboot.
[Motorola Atrix 2] theusualuser:
I edited my post the other day, but I must have forgot to post the edits. The phone seems to have lost the fastboot. My son played around with it after I did, and he knows just enough to get himself in trouble. If I had to guess, he probably went into the fastboot recovery and tried to reset to factory settings and wipe the cache. If so, I'm guessing he owes me a new phone, since RSDLite doesn't recognize the phone even though the motorola software does, and I can't get to the fastboot by holding the normal button combination. :(

EDIT: NEVERMIND. The phone seems to have the fastboot back now for some reason. Not sure what happens, but the volume and power now work to get to the fastboot. I'll just RSDLite myself back to normal from here, eh? Thanks everyone for having the best forums out there and for all the help! :)

I ment. That i went to wipe system to flash a rom and i hit sdcard instead. I wasnt really worried about the data on it. and i couldnt boot back up. but i got it.

You'll have to find the appropriate FXZ file and flash back to stock. ROM Toolbox is notorious for causing soft bricks on these phones.

Atrix 2 bootlooping need a linux solution

Hi, I explained earlier that my situation was that I installed the avatar v 2.13 version. after it installed, it rebooted and just went black and then back to the M dualcore screen "bootloop". Now just to be clear, I need a solution using LINUX since I don't have windows so I cant use RSD because it won't work even if you run it with wine. Anyone here good with linux can give me some advice so I can fix my phone? Thanks in advance!!!

Is there any way to make a full wipe amd next restore everything (widgets and others)?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethe6:
Probably, but every time I tried it (with titanium backup) it made my device unusable. Only restore Apps (and their data) but not system. Unless someone can provide valid instructions... it's not a good idea to restore all system stuff. I never got my widgets back or anything, always had to redo that manually too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karm@!:
full wipe and restore everything = not change anything.

what you need?

Hmmm ok I forgot about system but it this is not important for me.

I would like to restore user apps and widgets (but I know that Titanium Backup can't do that)

So this is better idea?

But I noticed Best Buy, today only, has a $100 deal for the SGSIII which I want, but I'm wondering if I upgrade through BB (online or in store, whatever), will I be unable to maintain the unlimited data I've had? Is it possible to do it in a way that I DO keep it?

Still not throttled. :D

I did it in-store. Took about 30 minutes, the associate told me before-hand that I would keep my unlimited plan.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thebeardedchild:
I was gonna order it online, but maybe it would be easier to do it in store then to make sure I can confirm it with the associate before-hand as well. If I'm not the primary number, I can't upgrade in store by myself though can I?

does your rom support the themechooser?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Let me guess the SystemUI is force closing?

If so you have to revert to the stock theme.. as well as the DPI and reboot. Once Rebooted apply the Tablet UI and reboot. Then once rebooted Apply one of the themes. They may or may not work. Or you could try setting the DPI to 320 (yes i know its giant) and applying the theme then revert back to tablet ui and reboot. its more than likely because the theme doesnt support MDPI which is the Tablet UI.
