First off, all 3rd party ROMs will require root to "flash" (the android term for installing). You'll find a lot of information about all the ROMs, themes and kernels currently available for the NS here but the short answer to your question is that a deodexed rom is one which can be themed. If it has Voodoo, Netarchy, Trinity, or Honity listed what is being referred to is a custom kernel.

I'm also assuming you're not currently rooted and on that previous link you'll find a list of almost all of the rooting methods currently available (save for SuperBoot...I think I omitted that one by accident). Basically, all of the info you need is on that thread and if you have other questions I'm happy to help you but for now I think I've answered most everything.

OK my Atrix just rebooted 2 times today. This is getting pretty annoying.

I saw few Threads on the forum about reboots already but couldn't find an answer weather or not replacing the phone fixed the issue for people who had it. And thought the pool will be useful to see what the current situation is. Should i replace mine or it is software related and all phones have same issue??

Some of the reboots are can be missed bu user as they happens when phone just idles the good way to check is to: do dial

*#*#4636#*#* and go to "battery Information" -> Time since boot:

If you see that this time is less then what you think it should be(you know when you last rebooted).

On the side note i saw few threads where people where complaining about the battery life, an it might be connected as those reboots do reset the battery timer.

Was it completly random, or you where installing something/playing game/using app etc.

I'll check some more this weekend, but I did have an issue while in the music player in car dock mode. Music would stop playing, the phone appeared to lock up, then it rebooted itself. Happened a couple times in this situation. I thought it might have been tasker (as that was the last thing I installed). I did a factory reset, loaded up pretty much the same stuff as previous, minus tasker. It did the same thing once. Hasn't done it again. Will know more later this week when I have time to force the issue, if it's going to occur again.

So, this wasn't really random, as it occurred during a specific activity (car dock, music player). Right now, too many variables to pin it down.

My reboots have only occurred during music playing...ive done numerous searches to find a fix to no availe...i'll give it til the end of the week, do a factory reset, see how it does and go from there...what the hell i'll keep it until the 20th and take it back if it still occurs

Interesting, vote break out almost evenly, as half of the voter have reboots and the other half doesn't.

Is it software or hardware???

Mine rebooted also today while I was using the music player and the last app that I installed was an app killer watchdog lite. this is the first time I've seen it but it might have rebooted by itself without me noticing it

I got my Atrix on Friday night and had it reboot several times, before finally freezing, then crashing while running an app. I took it back to AT&T the next day and switched it out for a new one totally free. With the second I have been having no problems at all, so I think it is just a problem with certain, random, handsets rather than a problem for all of the phones.

Atrix random reboot

Have had my Atrix for one week. The first 24 hours it rebooted 2X, the second day it rebooted 6X. I have been reading these and many other posts. Uninstalled Advanced Task Killer and phone stayed alive for a day. Opened the back and double-checked the insertion of the SIM card and it's been up for 44 hours without a reboot. I will be near an AT&T store on Sunday. Think I'll try a new one. I love the phone otherwise.

SIM Card

So... After complete insertion of the SIM card I'm up 66 hours now without a reboot. Others should check their SIM card and post if it helps.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaaji1359:
I haven't had a single reboot until today; it rebooted twice on me. I've had the phone since Feb 22nd.

The only thing that's changed is that 2-3 days ago my 32GB SD card came in. I'll do what the above poster said (reinsert SD card) and see if that fixes it.

EDIT: Maybe it is due to heat? I've noticed that, since I got my car dock, anytime I remove my Atrix from the car dock (while in the car dock I use Slacker Radio, Navigation, and a car dock application) its always around 58-60C. I have a SetCPU profile where it underclocks after 60C, but still that is extremely hot.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimammx:
I thought SetCPU doesnt work on atrix. Or it just cant overclock it?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Holy crap, I usually put the thing down when it gets to 40C
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkamikaze:
lol.. having reboot problems.. and saying you have SetCPU...

lol......maybe i'm out of line loling.. but really...

In other news.. try to make sure you have the proper data plan for your phone.. and making sure everything inserted within the phone is securely in place.

I personally got me one of the new sim cards.. the one that end with a different number.. Don't think it should matter but hey, haven't had a reboot since... ever.

Hi,

Bought the atrix on Feb, 28th.

Experienced one Random Reboot during a call (not sure if it is the cause but it happened after having Qik and Tango installed few hours before).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csshea:
re-insert the SIM card. It might have gotten loose when you put the sd card in. I'm up 138 hours now without a reboot. Good luck
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaaji1359:
Grammar yesprz??!

Anyway, I haven't had a single issue with SetCPU whatsoever; when my SIM Card came in is when the issues started. I re-inserted the SIM card and haven't had an issue since (or I haven't noticed it).

As far as my CPU goes, it only gets above 50C when it's charging. If I'm gaming then it will approach 50C. I guess I'll set my profile to underclock when at a lower temperature if you guys think 60C is way too hot. I'm extremely surprised that I haven't heard of anyone else having an Atrix that has seen 50C+ temperatures...

Had my first "reboot" problem in the middle of the night last night. I put it in quotes because it didn't actually turn back on after crashing, and I ended up being late to work because my alarm didn't go off. Guess it's back to setting my old SIM-less iPhone's alarm clock...though with my luck I'll have a problem with the notorious Clock app. Anyway, my phone was not plugged in last night, and I just had another random reboot problem, this time plugged in and it actually rebooted. Is anyone having their Atrix just crash with no reboot? Very annoying...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimammx:
Yes 1 time, also missed alarm because of that :mad:

It's very interesting to see how many people haven't exchanged the phone yet.

30 days return period approaches are you planing to exchange it?

Also it is kind of strange mine phone worked without reboot for 6 days, blindguyinanorgy reported that his phone worked without reboot for 5 days, unity311mu 180hours without reboot. And then all of the sudden we get reboot within 12-14 hours. Don't you find it strange?

PS was running catlog 24/7 for 6 days to see what happens before reboot. As soon as i turn recording off, reboot :confused:

Also thinking about exchanging it but, it looks more like a software bug. almost all reboots are completely random and not connected to battery level, state, CPU load.

Like the person above I missed my alarm tonight because I guess the phone crashed. I use it for my alarm clock and when I woke up late tonight I check the phone and it was non responsive. Power button did nothing, I pulled the battery and when I plugged it back In the phone is showing the dual core boot screen for a min. Then it went to a black screen, I thought maybe the battery is to low to finish booting so I plugged it in and get the big battery icon on the screen showing its at 60% and the power button is not doing anything when pressed. After about a min I get the boot screen again and the phone finally came back up.

I have had my Atrix since release day and this is the first problem I have seen. No other issue so far. I am now wondering if I should get it replaced or just take it back before my 30 days is up. I really like the phone alot, better battery life and volume than any other android phone I have seen so far. :confused:

Atrix is great phone but reboots and no answer from Motorola about the issue is not acceptable. Also Inspire looks very promising in terms of custom roms.

Well, mine started rebooting randomly yesterday. Did a battery pull, and restarted to a "Scanning SD Card for errors" notification. It went away last night after i formatted the card, and copied back my music/videos on it.

Happened again today so I reboot and notification game up again.

Took my microSD card out (wintec 16gb supposedly class-10), put it in again.

Only this time it constantly reboots after the phone starts up for a minute (like a loop).

Took it out, and it stopped doing that since. So far.

Do note I did not have this issue last week, it started yesterday and today when I started playing music off that external microSD to burn in a new headset I bought.

At least for me, it was a bad microSD that was causing random reboots.

EDIT: Ok just realized I lost half of my stuff in the internal data. FTL

atrix reboot fix- thanks to xda devs and flashing

Hello

Just thought I would post my solution to the atrix constantly randomly rebooting.

After trying EVERYTHING countless system restores, running the phone with no apps, reflashing I finally found what works. Phonias had an up time of 192 hours and counting.. 8 days. Before this flash I was lucky to get 12 hours of up time before a reboot.

Anyways just search xda for the OLYFR_U4_1.5.2 and read instructions of how to flash..seriously worth it. I now have a reliable phone!

Thanks again guys at xda for making all these resources available.. btw this is my first post so I hope I have done it ok.

Hope This helps

Few days ago I got a new device ...that one came already with 1.8.3.

It is not rooted (yet) and still no reboots...if it starts again I will update here.

I had a device I purchased few weeks ago and after few days it started rebooting, I honestly didn't note what I did to it before it started, however, I did go and flashed it back with "OLYFR_U4_1.5.2_SIGNED_OLPSATTSPE_P012_HWolympus_1g_1FF.sbf" and did the updates all the way to 1.8.3 with the "Motorola software update application"

I did this few times and tried different combinations:

1. I rooted the original and upgraded on a rooted device...

2. I rooted after the upgrade...

3. I did not root at all...

4. I rooted and installed the "att_radio_1_8_7.sbf" radio version..

I noticed changes on frequency and how long it has been before it started rebooting.

I noticed that this happen faster or more often with certain applications.

I noticed that this did not happen while the device was plugged in to power

It almost always rebooted after I used the phone for something and, put it down for few minutes.

It almost always rebooted while WIFI was connected

It seemed to be happening more often with desktop widgets that update periodically such as weather and feeds.

No matter how many applications I removed from the phone and how many times I did a factory reset – the reboots came back …

Hope this helps someone….

I didn't read through the entire thread but I thought I'd throw in my two cents. I've had my Atrix since March 28th. When I first got my phone I had the random reboot issues. I still have the same phone but after I flashed a clean SBF to my phone and rooted it I haven't had any issues with random reboots. My phone normally goes 5+ days before I manually reboot it.

I have no specific suggestions just some general ones.

If you have random reboots try to flash a fresh SBF and root the phone, if that doesn't work maybe try freezing bloatware.
