Try installing a different ROM and see if you get the same problem. Maybe something is corrupt in your current ROM
Have you tried clearing your dalvik & regular cache?
Well I've never flashed a rom yet and I did wipe the cache and delvic I'm just running stock 2.3 ota should I flash a rom if so which one is most stable .

I'd recommend flashing romracers recovery then installing picrust from there. Since you're new to this, picrust should be a good place to start.
Good luck!

Well im not new to roms bootloaders or flashing I have had evo 4g I have rom racer recovery already so you guys think its a problem with the stock rom then?

Maybe the way its loaded onto your phone in particular is causing the problem. I've had the same rom on my phone and its international.

Judging by your post it seems your Atrix is not turning on. That is an issue.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Well yes its a issue lol any idea how to fix I can make if turn on by wiping caches and factory reset then restore with titanium backups .then if runs and functions fine then craps out so your opinion hardware or software im within my 30 days AT&T may get it back I hope they don't notice the bootloader is unlocked though lol.

Try fixing permissions through ROM manager, I find that when flashing a new ROM weird things happen and this usually fixes it. I'm hoping it's something as simple as that, because if not you may have a hardware problem.
you can prolly just go back to stock from a fruit cake and then start over .
Im going to try something this is getting old real quick. I want to turn my phone off sometimes just wish I new it would boot backup.

Hello, I'm in quite the pickle and my head is spinning at this point. A few days ago I received a brand new Atrix from Motorola with 2.3.4 preinstalled. I unlocked and rooted it as well as installed tenfar's recovery and a a rom by the name of aura(de-blurred). After installing aura I noticed that my wifi no longer worked. I reflashed the rom and still it didn't work. I completely wiped everything and started over, still nothing. After countless efforts I tried installing the blurred version of aura in hopes that it would solve my problem. This was to no avail. Now I have no idea what happened after that, but somewhere along the line tenfar's recovery quit working. I get stuck at the motorola logo with the "unlocked" in the top left corner. I have no idea what to do now. I can't go into recovery which in turn means I can't install any new roms. The only option I can think of is to load a pudding abf of gingerbread. Am I safe in doing so? Are there other options? I have yet to find a real answer to this question so if anyone could possibly point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated. I'm so overwhelmed with how much information is out there I just don't know what to do. Thank you in advance for the help.
I'm also on ATT
If you're running 2.3.4 you can use a 2.3.4 SBF - just do NOT attempt to flash a 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 Froyo SBF - you WILL hard brick.
Will flashing a 2.3.4 sbf completely overwrite everything back to stock 2.3.4? At this point I just want an unlocked and rooted gingerbread. No roms or anything!

If you want to erase and stay on the same fw then all you need to do us a factory reset.
If you want to unlock, then use the IHOP (AKA Pudding) method found in the Dev forum...

I've tried a factory reset and that did not solve the wifi problem. Also, if I install pudding on top of an already unlocked and rooted device will that cause conflicting errors?

If you are unlocked and it says "unlocked" during bootup, then you don't need to unlock it again. It's permanently unlocked.
Not sure about what's going on with your wifi. Have you tried resetting your router, or is happening with all wifi areas?...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
It is happening with all wifi areas.
I also wanted to try the pudding sbf in hopes that it would fix the recovery. I may not need it anymore, but it's a nice feature to have just in case things really take a turn for the worse.
For your WiFi issue. Reset your WiFi router, and 'Forget' all networks on your Atrix. Then go through the paces of setting it all back up again on the Atrix once your home Router has been reset.
You can flash the pudding 2.3.4 sbf.
its not reccomended tho .. try out the fruitcakes first..

I don't have access to ANY recovery methods though. Tenfar's recovery refuses to boot and leaves me with the motorola logo and "unlocked" in the top left corner. Is there any known reason for this?
Can you enter fastboot?
If so you flash in that.
You can even download the rom manager recovery and flash it via fastboot too see if that recovery will let you do what you gotta do.

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Stock recovery PG05IMG.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/PG05IMG-Stock-Recovery.zip
Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
I'm really scared of making things worse than they already are. I just want a working phone.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

Right. I also have a recovery zip that installs the stock recovery if anyone wants it?
It can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/OTARestoreAndRecovery.zip
(warning: I have tested it and it works but it did cause me a bootloop, and im assuming this is becuase im on a different rom - - - so not responsible for any damages)

My phone wont boot now.
It stays stuck at the 2nd Samsung during the boot up.
What happen was I updated today to offical ICS from my rooted gingerbread.
I updated via kias today to get official ICS, got it working and I noticed I didn't have cwm install anymore, so I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504218
It is pass it did it reboot thing, and never got past the 2nd "samsung" loading screen.
Anyone know how to get my phone booting again?
Flash the latest ICS kernel
I am not sure how to do that without cwm.
Before I updated to ICS when I press power + up down, it booted into CWM. Now when I do that I boots into Android System Recovery <3e>
EDIT: Good news.
Got CWM through installed though odin and then I restored to my gingerbread backup I made earlier.
Flash your roms via clockwork recovery mod from now on.
Drop the ROM .zip on sd card and then enter recovery. Wipe everything three times each then flash a uclf6 based ROM. Never touch Odin or kies again. Be happy. Ice cream sandwich is way better than ginger bread

Had the same exact problem. I "believe" the problem was that the CWM I flashed was perhaps incompatible with the official ICS?
I used Odin to flash cwm 5.5.0.4 as suggested and the fone was shut down with the hanging Samsung screen as you mentioned. I used the DL screen with Odin to the 600mb Team Objection ROM, which at least got me up and running again. I found out that CWM did in fact flash once the ROM was compatible with it. Updated CWM, then to finally get full stability, I had to do a factory reset after clearing both caches, then install the CM9 official.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Update: I installed official ICS again last night, looks like I lost my root and CWM.
I don't want to mess anything up again, so could you tell me exactly what CWM file you used to flash so it doesn't hang at samsung again?
I was having the same problems but I think I was doing it wrong. How are you flashing the root files? I upgraded from Kies, then used Odin to flash cwm touch (5.5.0.4 I think), make sure to let the reboot and that it's actually turned on and you can see your homescreen. Once you do that, THEN flash the superuser 3.0.7 in cwm. Let the phone reboot properly and it should be okay.
I was doing the same without the reboots and that's what caused me to hang at the logo, but after the above it worked well. Give it a try. For anyone who needs to flash the T-Mobile radios also let the phone reboot and then flash it because I was having issues with that which was fixed by letting the phone reboot.
Make nandroids at every step in case it does hang so you can just restore and try again instead of flashing everything all over again.

I've also tried rooting my AT&T Galaxy Note I717 which had recently upgraded to ICS via AT&T/Kies and my phone is stuck at the Samsung boot screen. While I'm no expert with rooting phones, I had no problem rooting it when it had GB installed so I figured I wouldn't have any problems rooting it again. Is flashing the ICS kernel the best way to fix this? Where do I get the ICS kernel from and how do I flash it?
Details: After my phone upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 kernel 3.0.8 (IMM76D.UCLF6), I followed some instructions to root it using Odin3-v1.85 and PDA->pda.tar. Other instructions used cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar.md5 and odin_n1717_cwm_recovery_b4.tar and I tried those but to no avail. So I have CWM v5.5.0.4 installed but I don't know what to do next.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Update: I restored my phone back to a non-rooted working Android 4.0.4 by downloading the stock ROM for my phone (I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_I717UCLF6_HOME.tar.md5) and uploading it using Odin3-v1.85/PDA. I didn't even lose any of my settings or data. Now I need to figure out how to successfully root it. But at least I'm not worried about getting stuck on the Samsung screen anymore.
Open odin , PDA cwm file, Droid in dl mode, plug in start unplug, reboot, go to cwm recovery mode and backup onto sd card.
Im learning more, as i soft bricked mine last time

You realize the reason you were stuck was because you flashed a GB kernel onto an ICS system? It would never boot. As the second post suggested... all you had to do was flash an ICS kernel to get it to boot.

This happened to me after misreading a comment.
If you put your phone into download mode, plug it in, run kies, and do an emergency firmware recovery. You'll need the serial number. My phone is stock ICS again. Works fine.

so cwm 5.5.0.4 touch is a GB kernel? Because that's all I flashed after the KIES update to ICS and I got the hanging Samsung logo.
I believe some people are trying to get ICS rooted with this cwm and are getting stuck. Of course there are ways out of it, but it'll help the learning process if we can find the problem.

Hi,
After some assistance if possible.
I have the international version of GS2. Purchased in the UK.
Yesterday flashed the new Jellybean ROM through ODIN as found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113088
Worked fine for one day then phone froze this morning. Did a battery pull and on reboot stayed on the Samsung logo. Rebooted many times but still stuck at the same point. Reflashed the Rom through ODIN again but still stuck at Samsung logo.
I can access download mode, but not any kind of recovery.
From reading on here, I think the NAND(?) may be corrupted, but not sure, leading to the soft brick. Can anyone advise what I need to flash to get the phone up and running again?
Any help appreciated.
