I was on cm7, but then used the pudding unlocked sbf. Before, when I was on Alienrom after doing the pudding sbf everything was ok. But this time the update didnt finish properly and rsd lite asked to reboot mobile manually. I did as asked but now the motorla dual core logo flashes twice and reboots, this cycle continues. I also tried official moto sbfs, same prob. Is there still a chance to bring my phone from brick?
thanks in advance all for your time
If you can get into CWM just flash another ROM on the device. You can load a rom in the "mounts" section of CWM by moving it from your computer.
Wrong section. You're lucky I'm not a mod.

didnt understand what u meant, the phone's already unlocked, so what will the unlock commands do?
Boot into fastboot and use the "fastboot -w" command. If it still won't boot, then try the fastboot oem unlock command as mentioned above (yes, even if your phone is already unlocked)

After first getting my Atrix I used tenfar's recovery to install one of the first Proms. I cant remember which now.
I have since used Atrix ATTT 2.3.4 Pudding preroot SBF through RSD lite to update to 2.3.4. I would now like to go to CM7.
I have installed the latest Rom Manager and it says I successfully updated to the latest CWM. When I try to reboot into recovery - I get
"Failed to boot 2"
"Starting RSD"
The only way i've been able to fix it is to reflash the preroot SBF.
What am I doing wrong?
welcome to the club my friend. you have to unlock the bootloader and your golden
more info. if you follow the thread more. you will need to run fast boot to obtain this. once you run fastboot. type in fastboot oem unlock. it will then give you the uniquee device id.
power down remove battery if you have. restart the phone in fastboot mode. type in fastboot oem unlock plus the unique id number let it run through process. phone will say unlocked when it reboots. then go ahead and install rom manager and flash the cwm. once installed reboot using rom manager to get into cwm and flash rom

Thanks for the tip! When I do this, though, fastboot hangs on "Waiting for device." Am I doing something wrong? I'm using a Mac, so re-installing drivers isn't the issue.
It's most likely a permission problem. Run fastboot as root/administrator/whatever macs have.
It for sure is the locked bootloader problem. I had though i had unlocked the bootloader and tried to install CWM through rom manager and it put the same error up. I flashed pudding again and then made sure to do the oem unlock commands that i had apparently overlooked
Thats what i am thinking too. that it is the locked bootloader issue. i had this the other day when i attempted to cwm and rom install. thanks to Turl1 and a few others, i was able to have it taken care of in no time.

It says "Starting RSD Mode" after right? If you're trying to relock the bootloader, you should be able to flash any of the SBFs to get it locked again.
Correct - but this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281528 suggests that you can relock, get back 4G and keep UbunTop & WebTop+. If I flash back an sbf such as 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf the phone is relocked but the original WebTop is installed.

This thread (and the link to the explanation) was very helpful. Lokifish Marz, you might want to make a note in the WT+ post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17956277&postcount=2) for people to be sure to reflash the full 198_7 or 198_6 SBF and specifically not try to relock without full SBF flash (which is shown in the guide.htm in the Root-Unlock-Relock zip). Just to draw attention that the full SBF Flash is required, since I (probably like OP) tried the quickest/simplest route to relocking first.
I used the System Recovery app to flash recovery and boot into it, then I installed Neutrino ROM EE but now when I try to boot all I get is 'failed to boot 2. starting RSD mode.' help?

As terminator 1983 said, you need to unlock your bootloader. Click through the link that was posted and read up on the unlocking process. You'll see that involves being in RSD mode, and flashing the pudding .sbf. Then reflash CWM, and re-install your ROM.
Alright, I clicked the link, and scrolled down to HOW TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER. The first option, the link is dead. The second option, which seems to be easiest, the download link is dead also. Is there any other way I can get the file "Full 2.3.4 with preinstall root and pudding bootloader unlock, full sbf" ? Then using RSD Lite to flash that should be all I need.
Also, in that second option, I scrolled down to the second post since I'm not an ATT user, and tried doing the CMD commands, but when I put in the first command "fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img" it says this is not a command.

make sure you run the command from the same folder your fastboot.exe is at. Also, any file you are trying to flash has to also be in that folder.
i.e. fastboot.exe and preinstall image are in c:\atrix, then cd into c:\atrix and then run your commands.
Sorry, I can't help with the dead links.
*Edit*Btw, you can just get the pudding .sbf from here, instead of using the automatic ones.
Alright, moved fastboot and the img into the same folder, ran the commad, and it says the following:
"sending 'preinstall'
OKAY
writing 'preinstall'
FAILED (status read failed (unknown error))
finished"
followed the link you provieded to the main pudding thread, downloaded the IHOP file for international useds, flashed the SBF succesfully, but I'm just where I was before.
When following this guide http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader I type in the command in fastboot and it says OEM Fastboot Not supported.
Need help here guys.
Edit: Tried again and it gave me my code, redid the command with the code, this time it said ERROR: Failed to write.
Okay, making progress now, checked my phone and it said Your phone is not unlocked. Rebooted and not instead of saying Unable to boot 2 Starting RSD Mode, all it says is unlocked. I'm able to get into recovery mode, but it's the default android recovery in blue. What else can I do?

Glad to hear you got it unlocked. I would recommend flashing romracer's recovery. Make sure to read through the first 2 posts of that thread. There is a file you have to delete in order for it to stick. Since you're familiar with fastboot now, I would just use that method to install.
After that, follow the instructions to install your ROM of choice.

I've downloaded the Light green version, placed the img in a folder along with fastboot and the 2 dll files associated with fastboot, ran cmd to that folder, typed in the first command, and it says it's not an external or external command. Is there something else I should be doing?
Whattheheck, may as well copy what I posted on another forum for some additional info:
Hello, I've been on many forum sites looking for a fix for my problems, but nothing SO here's my story. I have a rooted Motorola Atrix on Bell. I installed the app "System Recovery" and used that to flash recovery, then booted into recovery and installed the rom "Neutrino Rom EE". The problem is, I didn't unlock my bootloader, so every time I tried turning my phone on it'd say "Failed to boot 2. Starting RSD mode." I used the guide "How To: Unlock the Atrix 4G Bootloader" on Breifmobile (can't post link) to unlock my bootloader, and from what I can see (my phone being stuck at the boot screen with a motorola logo and the word UNLOCKED in the top left) it worked. Problem is now I'm stuck here. I can access the menu by holding pwr and vol down, then I can select an option. I tried selecting Android Recovery, and this brings me to the default recovery, but there's nothing I can do here. I can still access RSD mode and Fastboot from the menu, so perhaps there's a fix from there.

Place the recovery img file in fastboot folder and type these commands on command prompt after getting to fastboot folder.
fastboot erase recovery (it will erase the earlier recovery)

The second command will flash the recovery img on your device you will have to change this portion "recovery-blue-atrix5" of the command according ur revcover img name or rename ur recovery img with this name.
Hi,
I was trying to install Cyanogenmod on my phone using the guide on the cyanogenmod wiki (I can't post the link, but it's the first google result for Motorola Atrix 4G: Full Update Guide)
I did everything in the guide, up to the point where I was supposed to flash the ROM onto my phone using RSD, but then it failed and gave me a "Error switching phone to BP Pass through mode". I unplugged it from the computer, took out the battery put it back in, and now it's giving me the
"Failed to boot 0x1000
No OS detected, going to RSD mode
in 5 seconds
...
..."
Menu. When plug my computer back in, and try to flash the same ROM using RSD Lite again, it says "Failed Flashing Process: Unable to retrieve interface handle". How do I fix this? I've never unlocked or rooted my phone or anything before. It was completely stock before I tried to do this.
Also, when trying to use fastboot and typing in fastboot oem unlock, it's just stuck on <waiting for device>
You tried to rsd a flashable rom on a locked bootloader phone. Your first error. You will need to rsd back to stock first. Then you need to root the phone. Then You need to follow the steps in the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202883 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 (the second one I used recently). Once you've done that stuff THEN you can flash cm thru recovery. Hope you didn't hard brick.

Thanks for your help, but could you be more specific on how to do all of that? As you can tell, I'm (quite obviously) a noob at this.
Also: I downloaded a file called 1FF-olympus-user-2.3.6-4.5.141-111212-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P012 , which is supposed to be the stock ROM. But when I run RSD, it gives me the error "Failed Flashing Process: Unable to retrieve interface handle (0x7027)
EDIT:: Your second link worked! Thank you very much!
Don't worry about it, it is common. All you need is the small unlock RSD file for your device found in post # 1136261 and the attempted flash that fails in the step that you described. Then you need to move on to the next step in the process. You need to get the phone into fastboot though, by holding the volume down key during the boot up / or if you get that crazy menu with options 0 though 9, use the volume up and down to select fastboot. Then on the PC continue with the process:
fastboot oem unlock
Then when that is successful, flash recovery.img or whatever recovery you have downloaded:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

flashing a sbf is the only way to return to stock. Fruitcake ROMs are stock ROMs that are flashed like a normal ROM. Which sbf did you flash?
Generally, failure to boot 1 puts you in rsd mode automatically. Flash the pudding sbf and then follow up with fastboot oem unlock. You should be good to go.

Off hand i don't know what that error means, but a simple google search will give you the answer. If you already are unlocked, then you can flash a custom recovery and a fruitcake ROM to get you back to stock without actually flashing the sbf.

ok, the full sbf returns the phone to stock. the fix sbf opens the door to unlock the bootloader. after that you need to get into fastboot and run the command "fastboot oem unlock" without quotation marks. a code will pop up on your screen. re-enter the command, followed by the code, and hit enter.
ok after that the phone turns on whit the unlocked message but still frezze in the M logo
