Boot Loop Issues

Hi all,

Came from the HTC Hero so I'm new to the Motorola Atrix 4G. I originally had the latest 1.83 and installed Tenfar's CWM Recovery, factory reset and wiped dalvik cache, then loaded the GingerBlur rom. The problem I have now is that it will go to the Red Moto logo in the beginning, then the green animation logo after that, then about 1 second in it will reboot automatically. I also tried loading the stock SBF using RSD lite and it still has the same issue, go to Red Moto logo, then AT&T animation, then 1 second in it reboots. Please help!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Doggiepoo:
I fixed the problem by unlocking the bootloader....

Hi guys, I have had this ROM on my atrix for a couple days now and have been really enjoying it. I have one question though, whenever I watch an embedded youtube video using the default browser and expand it to full screen, the browser force closes. Does anyone know what is going on here? I would like to keep using the default browser instead of downloading a new one
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dLo GSR:
this is not the thread for that. read up on the many many other threads on that in this forum
[Atrix 4G Android Development] j.v.fouts:
Ya got that, found a site.on it, next question is I have.gingerblur, can I still do the unlock or do I need to go to stock, and do u know if/or when he pushes an update if it.will include that or do.we need to do it beforehand
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 2leaponover1:
I'm getting a boot loop at a weird point, it's making it to the launcher, about 10 secs in it reboots.

Tried a battery pull no luck
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Javi97100:
This is a really great p-rom, but if i dont use my atrix in a while and i push the unlock key nothing happens. It takes like 4 or 5 pushes for it to work. Is there a fix?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dLo GSR:
if you go to 2.3.4, you do not and cannot use gingerblur.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] j.v.fouts:
Ok I figured that ill wait to see what he comes out with if he does anything? Do you have to go to stock to do the unlocking.of bootloader?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] alexcotta:
I find that this has to do with a problem with the proximity sensor and the brightness sensor next to the led light.... If you wave your finger over it fixes it momentarily.. I hate it but don't want to mess with the phone to much

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Javi97100:
Can I just flash this again over gingerblur even though I already have gingerblur installed but to get some apps back that I removed from the system?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Which apps? You can always flash gingerblur over and over again, doesn't matter. But if you're talking about the stock motoblur app that gingerblur removed, then you need to flash the bloatware.zip
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Javi97100:
No like the gingerbread keyboard and gallery app
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Yeah, re-flashing gingerblur should take care of that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Javi97100:
Should I make a backup?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
You can if you want, but gingerblur wont delete any of your files or apps... humm, replaces SMS messaging, might loose the text, but I'm not 100% on that. But your pics, songs, apps, contacts, etc, will all be fine. Always a good idea to backup (at least with something simple like Ti Backup) before flashing anything.

Oh yeah, if you use webtop, then you'll have to edit the build.prop again to turn HDMI mirroring off again too.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Javi97100:
But I never edited the build.prop
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Then nevermind that then :D

It's just a edit to get videos to play on webtop, otherwise they won't play via the Entertainment Center when using webtop... all very technical. :p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Javi97100:
Ok thanks man
[Atrix 4G Android Development] j.v.fouts:
Thx!

Any chance or ETA for Gingerbread ROM from kenneth. I am seeing HK 2.3.4 threads in the section but am holding out for a "proper" rom
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
I think we need to see what ATT releases first and then build on that. Make sense?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 2leaponover1:
So is there a troubleshooting scenario for this horrible boot loop issue. I would like to try this rom but it's unusable at the moment. I've gone back and read but there doesn't seem to be a real description of how to fix it considering all the people that are experiencing it. Does Greyblur have the same problem, cause i'll just try that if it doesn't.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
No boot loop issues over here on the 2 phones I have done.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 2leaponover1:
Must be one of the lucky ones, if you do a search for boot loop lots of posts. Did you flash with the new CWM or the old one?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
Old.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 2leaponover1:
figured that, for some reason this dev doesn't want to update any of his stuff to take advantage of the new CWM, and it would be ridiculous to go back to the old one at this point.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] frankiedizzle87:
Kenneth penn is the dev and has been doiing a ton of other stuff.for this phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 2leaponover1:
I realize that .... but what else is he doing besides a rom or a kernel. I'm sure he isn't wasting his time on hacks. I know he is a dev and doing it for free but his rom is very popular and you would think he would update it accordingly. I don't know of any rom that cannot be flashed smoothly with the new CWM.

Of course it could be the new CWM that is the problem so I don't want to misplace blame. The only reason i wanted to flash this was for the simple fact that I want my rom deodexed so i can download themes. Nobody seems to have a way to deodex the stock rom with teh new CWM. I find that very frustrating. Yes there is a link to do it for international phones, and yes the dev has a link to do it for 2.2.1 but it is not edified so it does not work with the new CWM.

CAn i fastboot flash it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cnewsgrp:
No boot loop for me either. I flashed this rom couple of weeks ago. Followed instructions in first post. no problems since.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cnewsgrp:
It does. Would be good for OP to mention some roadmap. Has Kenneth moved on to a new phone? I did read in another thread that be was experimenting on a leaked 2.2.3
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
Kenneth posted a while back and think his statement was that there would be no more work on 2.2.x and would release once AT&T released 2.3.x. Regarding CMW, version specificity for GingerBlur is like everything else. I do not recall if Kenneth made that part of his instructions or not. It is what it is and GingerBlur on Atrix 2.2 works like a champ.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] j.v.fouts:
Thats good to hear ive been trying to get a clear answer about that. Cant wait for a new 2.3.4 build from him
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rvt1000:
I've installed gingerblur flawlessly on 3 atrixes but one of them has an issue I can't figure out. I can no longer get car dock to work. I've tried reflashing and that didn't help. Any ideas?

Maybe I can just try installing the cardock apk? Is there an apk for it I can pull from one of my other phones and re-install??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Agreed. I recollect that as well. It would be great to mention that in first post.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] razorseal:
I finally figured out what's been wrong with my phone... I was blaming it on ti backup

this thing is incompatible with fingerprint scanner

the screen freezes and I can't use it.

been trying to figure this **** out for 2 days

right now the phone is rining, but the screen won't turn on.

it only happens when I install gingerblurr with fingerprint enabled...

sad... very sad...

Works beautifully on my atrix 1.8.3!!! First time ever ROMing or using recovery loader.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joyo22:
Well, you're telling big lies... Fingerprint scanner works perfectly on Gongerblur. Just make sure you follow the steps correctly.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rvt1000:
Well, I wouldn't put it that harshly, he may not be intentionally lying...it could be that he's just having issues with fingerprint reader, a few people have.

I can confirm though that the reader works fine for the majority of us including me. So why not try re downloading and reflashing (maybe a bad flash) and if that doesn't work, then how about checking your programs you've installed. Odds are one of them is interacting with fingerprint reader and messing it up.

BTW, "Gongerblur" is a pretty awesome name....KG, I vote for the name Gongerblur on your 2.3 rom!!

is this rom compatible with the laptopdock or does it mess with the connection in some way?

Is there any way to keep blur texting? I assume just removing the stock SMS in the zip would do it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Javi97100:
Is anybody else getting lock screen lag? Like when you don't use your phone for a while and it won't wake up on first push of power button?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] melodicstealer:
just bought this phone yesterday, n today i flashed GingerBlur 4.5 without any of those bugs reported...lucky me
[Atrix 4G Android Development] digitalbots:
still on Android 2.2.2?

I loaded ginger blur so that I could get on to Android 2.3 but after doing the steps listed on the site I loaded GingerBlur 4.5 with out any issue but when i go to my about page it shows I am still on Android 2.2.2 whats up with that?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rev1vaL:
This isn't gingerbread. This is a beta type rom that's meant to theme it to look like stock. It's still froyo
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
Gingerblur 4.5 is a native gingerbread like interface on Froyo. Gingerblur will be revised for AT&T's Gingerbread when it is released. The gingerblur thread is nothing to do with leaked builds or roms. It builds on stock to return the Atrix to a native feel.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rev1vaL:
Anyone know yet if I can use the stock blur messaging app with this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] barry99705:
Install the bloatware.zip.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rev1vaL:
Should I remove the stock mms and then install bloatware?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] barry99705:
Don't think it matters.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
You can delete files you don't want from the bloat file. Once you install, if there are any duplicate apps, you can delete with root explorer. I did some tests with Moto messaging on GingerBlur and I got rid of it. The only thing you gain is contact pictures but you can fix that with syncmypix to update the gmail contact pics directly instead of integrating the pics only on the phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nebneb333:
Does it change how it looks on the laptop dock or does it just look the same as it would with normal blurr filled atrix? If it does change it does anyone have a screen shot?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rev1vaL:
Personally I like the look if blur messaging more than seeing contact pictures every text
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
For those wondering what is in store next for gingerblur and/or the OP, Kenneth. He has a working ROM for 2.3.3 that includes all the gingerblur goodness; i.e. de-odexed, bloatware removed, etc. However, this will not be released until the official 2.3.3 gingerbread OTA is released. Just FYI
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Javi97100:
Thanks for the update (:

what happens if we install GB 4.5 over the 1.5.7 file system? will everything work correctly?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rev1vaL:
did anyone update the script for the bloatware? would like to flash that..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
GB 4.5 and the bloat zip are designed for a specific version of CWM. I don't believe this is on the instructions as at the time of the post it was the most current version of CWM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rjohnstone:
No... phone will get stuck in a boot loop.

This is for 4.1.8.3 only.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ahmarchi:
Gb 3.5 is ok though right?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Yeah, should be
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rev1vaL:
i sbf'd to stock 4.1.83 then re rooted, flashed the newest cwm, then install this over it. i get to the connect to wifi screen, and it just turns off and starts booting up again. happens everytime. i was thinking about re sbf'ing and trying again. any ideas from anyone?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] josuetenista:
Where can we get gingerblur 3.5?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Well, normally you could get it here:

http://gitbrew.org/android/

but the site seems to be down at the moment??

However, I don't not think you will be able to install v3.5 with the new CWM. The updater-script is properly coded... I'm taking a look at this now though. If I can figure it out, I'll report back.

**Edit**

Sorry, I'm pretty sure I figured out what needs to be updated for the older CWM .zip files to be compatible with the newer CWM, it's the updater-script in the .zip file @ META-INF\com\google\android.

However, I'm not entirety sure what needs copying from the newer .zips to the older .zip. And I'm not willing to brick (or at least soft brick) anyone's device to test it. I'm sure someone with much more experience than me can update this fairly easily... but most of these people are busy compiling custom kernels and ROMs at this point in time... And I don't blame them, b/c as soon as 2.3.3 drops this month, pretty much all the P-ROMs will become more or less obsolete. Kenneth will be releasing a new gingerbread based ROM, and I'm sure others aren't far away. But maybe someone will take pity on us in the mean time and code this really quickly.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hansmrtn:
So I just got the atrix. I will stick with nexus s. But I used to develop roms for all the phones I had. But I noticed in the OP that it says the calendar widget is broken. Thats because the atrix screen has a different res than the usual screensize. You have to build it from source and changing a couple of lines in the src/.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] d3athsd00r:
Is it possible/easy to integrate the Root Explorer fix into 3.5? I'm staying on 1.57 because of the new OC kernel.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
Delete what you don't want from the bloat zip and then flash the zip in the sane way that you did grey/gingerblur.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] downtrodn:
Thanks for the reply, just did that it worked :)

Can i still resize the widgets?

You can reflash the full gingerblur 4.5 zip and you won't lose anything. This will revert to the unbloated and keyboard mods. Hope that helps. :)

[Atrix 4G Android Development] j.v.fouts:
watch out u might get a smart a$$ answer on this question.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
GingerBlur is designed and tested for 2.2 not 2.3. Specifically with AT&T 4.1.83 at 2.2. This is not a proceed with caution disclaimer. It is a do not proceed unless you want to brick your phone warning.

sbf'ing

What is the best way to SBF back to 1.8.3.?

Do i download the full SBF or the service SBF?

The ONLY reason i want to do this, is because i am having trouble with FRING getting audio through so the other person can hear me.

FRING support stated i would need to be 'stock' before they could troubleshoot further.

Anyone having this issue? or has had it resolved?

Thanks for the help.

Baron
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
Atrix are known for having specific/special VoIP programming requirements. This was the case with Yahoo and Skype, until Atrix support was added in each. It would be easier to search for an existing thread under Atrix Applications and Themes regarding Fring. If you don't find one, create one. Once you have some other users confirm the issue, direct Fring support to it. Bottom line is that Fring won't fix their code any time soon, even if you prove it to them tomorrow.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] brandonbl79:
i think it was working at some point on gingerblur.... Can i reflash the most updated version of gingerblur and still retain apps and user info?

Maybe i will do that and test it before reverting back to stock. No need to get drastic!!!

I am on gingerblur 4

Thanks,
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
Providing you have not upgraded CWM you can reflash. Reflashing the gingerblur zip does not erase your data. I'd recommend gingerblur 4.5.

Correct, if you have the SBF for gingerbread, but I don't think that's been leaked yet. I think the only way currently is flash 1.83 then ota update. You don't need to unlock BL to flash SBF.

Does anyone know if it is possible to flash gingerblur over 2.3.4? Or will Mr.Pennington be making a 2.3.4 rom that already has gingerblur?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
Well there isn't really any point of putting this over 2.3.4 is there? since the whole point is to make as close to GB as possible, and we have real GingerBread now. kenpen is however, currently working on a full custom ROM (kernel and all) so i that's where he's going now.

i'd say that this should have the tag [Deprecated] on it now.
