I installed an app to change the boot animation on my Atrix 4g and when I rebooted to see it, all i get is the m logo with dual core technology under it. It is rooted and i didn't flash any new roms or anything. i wiped the cache partition from the recovery menu and also " wipe data/factory reset" but it still doesn't boot up.
its on android 2.3.6 build 4.5.141
please help me :crying:
Do you have recovery software?
Fervi
Just restore the system partition from the backup you SHOULD do before any modification and you will be good to go.
Otherwise, delete the faulty bootanimation and restore the original via adb on recovery and reboot.
There is also a no bootanimation option on build.prop, althrough I'm not sure if it's avaiable on 2.3

i don't have any recovery software or backups made.
If you have fastboot option, you can install TWRP (or CWM) and then install other rom (like Motorola Atrix ICS [4.0])

So I got fastboot and everything working. I think flashing the sbf with rsd lite might work, only problem is that whenever I try to download the sbf files it takes me to some ilivid download manager. Soo anyone know where I can download the actual sbf?

and when I try to put it into fastboot my phone comes on says something and it turns off to quickly for me to see what the text says.

Really? the mini sbf that I'm referring to is not a full sbf. it is a 1 MB file that you should get and do to obtain root.
Where in what you have said in this entire thread did you unlock the bootloader?

Then I would highly advise that you unlock your bootloader before any more help is given to you. I don't say that in a mean way, I say that in a strong recommendation way. Without that bootloader being unlocked, there is little help we can do to get you back up and running.

I was trying to flash my phone with Cherry blur. I was going from Gingerblur to Cherry blur. I probably done something very wrong. After flashing the phone wouldnt boot. It just stuck at the motorola dual core logo with the "failed to boot 4 starting RSD mode" message on the top left side corner. Anyone know how to fix it this? thanks in advance.
I had the same problem (not by doing the same thing, but the same message message anyway), don't worry it is just a "soft brick", you can use RSD lite (5.10) to flash a stock SBF (or another one).
You should search this forum. Stock SBF can be found in the dev thread.
If I am wrong I hope someone will correct me.

Bump. Should i flash with or without pudding?
If you were on GingerBlur that pretty much means that you did not update to 2.3.4 via OTA updates.
And since you did not update via OTA, you will NOT hard brick your phone
Same thing happened to me... GinglerBlur to CherryBlur = Failed to Boot 4

I meant Bootloader Unlocked. Gingerblur is a P-ROM so looks like you didn't unlock the bootloader to use it.
If you have the failed to boot error, i would do rsf flash of 2.3.4 with pudding.
If you can boot into Gingerblur, i would first flash a pudding sbf for your phone, do the unlock bootloader commands, installed CWM, and from there modding is a breeze.

Unfortuately for us, the not so bright people who designed the motorola flashing interface designed it so that the device will not charge unless booted into an OS. To get past this screen, you must find another user with an atrix, and place your battery into that phone until it is charged and try again.
If this is not an option, try the display model at the AT&T store (what I did ) or try purchasing a Dev-cable that will charge the device.

UPDATE: I got my phone back to life and unlocked bootloader/rooted with cherryblur. Thanks everyone that helped
I tried to update my MB860 with Motorola Software Update soft, but the process failed. Now I have the:
"failed to boot 4
Starting RSD mode"
I tried to reiniciate the process with Motorola Software Update again and - after 3rd attempt, it communicated a successful update. Anyway, phone doesn't start and I got the same "failed to boot...".
So, I went for RSDLite 5.6 and tried to flash 1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-31-release-keys-signed-Orange-GB (phone was originally Orange UK). RSDLite finished successfully (due to the status information in the program", but the phone, after rebooting, is... "failed to boot 4
Starting RSD mode". I tried again "Motorola Software Update", it communicated me successful flashing and... nothing changed. So, whatever I do, I got the same boot failure.
The phone is not rooted nor the bootloader is unlocked. I bought it used and it was working ok. Anyhow, when I simunlocked it (yesterday) - the next day after buying - and installed several appz from the market, it started freezing (tens of times, mainly during booting or screen unlocking) and each time I had to pull the battery off to get it back to life.
That's why I tried to update it though - hoping it'd help.
What can I do now?
I googled everywhere and the same problem comes up for the Axtrix 4g. Says something about use SBF to flash a stock rom. how do you do this for the Photon??? Can someone list the step? thanks
what happened? homebasephoton1.5 rom. I tried to install it but after I reboot I got failed to boot message........
It just means that the phone is unable to boot and is starting the fail-safe RSD mode... basically allowing you to use RSD Lite to flash a new SBF (basically phone image) to the phone to restore it. Are you rooted/unlocked?

Sorry that I didn't reply any sooner. This is what I did, since when the phone is with that problem won't charge the battery nor with charger nor with USB, so, I ran out of juice... I had to get an universal charger to charge the battery and then I flash it with RSD. I've flashed this file 154_5 sbf, once I got in, I flashed the updated one. It worked pretty good.
Let me know, regards.
when I am flashing sbf I have to remove my external sd card otherwise it wont work at all.
I changed to Alien Rom.after changing to alien rom I was facing a lot of FCs.So tried RSD lite with latest SBF.Now I am stuck at "Failed to boot 4 starting RSD mode"
From what I read from forums my phone is soft bricked.
"Failed to boot 4" is when a filesystem is missing a signature
The solution is to flash 154 sbf using RSDlite 5.5 version with a fully charged battery using the usb at the back of your computer.
Once you are successful flashing 154 you can update with latest SBF.
The important points are below.
1. Fully charged battery. (use an external battery charger as Photon does not charge batery in boot mode.
2. Used RSDlite 5.5 version
3. Use USB at back.
4. Use 154 not the latest version of SBF.
5. Make sure the process is not interrupted until the process is completed
Failed to boot 2
Im having the same problem and reflashing 154-5 doesnt work. Instead phone says "SVF:106:1:2

I have a motola photon that I believe is bricked due to and attempt to flash the electrified 2. 3. 5 without doing my research. The bootloader is unlocked but every attempt at a fastboot command freezes at waiting for device. I've flashed every sbf under the sun threw rsd with failure at the phone "re-enumerate" stage.

If you flash a 2.3.4 Locked sbf via RSD after the flash failure what does the wcreen on your phone say?
I think I am in a similar situation but found a way to unbrick.
Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. Phone [0000] "The Secure_Motorola_Flash" Interface could not be found. The super-file is secure and for re-flash; the phone needs a super-file that is not secure and not for re-flash. (0x7066)
The rsd fails at 98% when the phone attempts to switch to a BP passthrough.

Guys of course I tried to boot the phone afterwards. It just sits at the Motorola logo, says unlocked in the upper left corner with 0 animation to the logo. I cant get into recovery either.. its back to the stock exclanation point one.
Anyone have an idea of what could be wrong? How am I supposed to do anything to the phone if Rsd continues to fail and I don't have access threw fastboot? Also the phone model in rsd is listed as NS Flash Sunfire, it lists my bootloader as ver v0x000007 but everything else is listed as N/A

What happens when you try to force the phone into fastboot mode by pulling the battery, putting it back in and holding the VOL down and POWER buttons?
Well it let's me get into fast boot with no problem after some fooling around today. however when I try to erase my data threw fast boot it says I don't have a product name. The device is listed in fastboot though as TA00.. (don't remember # off hand). I know the values for this is changeable but is it necessary or is that minor in this large issue.
From what you are telling me this should work...
Make sure that your phone says UNLOCKED at the top left corner..

Well!!! did you wipe before you had flashed the 2.3.5 SBF ????
If running in Win 7 make sure that you opened up the command prompt as administrator. Also make sure that you put the system.img in the fastboot folder/directory. So you should be doing:
1. fastboot erase system
2. fastboot flash system.img
3. fastboot reboot
Still wouldnt let me because the system image was too big.
But i managed to flash clockwork threw fastboot and was able to boot that up. I did a factory reset in clockwork rebooted and it was still frozen. But i was able to flash redROCKO 1.1.1 and then it booted and is now working flawlessly.

Hello Leroy
I have a problem with my MB860. It was locked and rooted but i used RSD lite and lost root.
After rsd the phone is not stock. I have some software in preinstall i think as after a clean instal( factory data reset) it cam up with NFS swift, 7Digital zLingo reader preinstlalled..
I just want everything removed. The person who initially rooted missed smtf...
The biggest issue is that the phone seems not to have a recovery as i was never able to get in there( tapping 30 min in the bottom right corner in Android recovery triangle and droid pic screen)
do I need root access to execute those fastboot commands?
If I erase system will my phone boot again ? Rsd worked for me 2 times out of 4, see attached text.
Thank you for the time to investigate my issue.
Best Regards,
Alex
Since the Gingerbread update you have to press both volume up and down at the same time to enter recovery when you see the triangle.

If you don't have a problem using RSD and you are just looking to return the phone back to stock you can maybe flash an official, signed SBF with RSD.

Progra Files/Mototola/RDSLite
Thanks
I heard someone went over to Motorola's update website and did a clean OS update through the website and it got rid of the "unlock" text and it didn't brick the phone and the phone was back to stock. You might want to try that and let us know if it works.

Are you doing the "automated update" method ? If so, try doing the manual way where you download the file and place it in your sd card.

You can try re-rooting the phone using this method:
http://www.android-advice.com/2012/root-the-motorola-atrix-4g-running-4-5-141/
NOTE: Switch steps 5 and 6 around in the instructions and use the command "fastboot devices" to see if the device is recognized.

Thank you Sir,
I am familiar with this thread.
My RSD flashing experience is kind of odd. I did not manage to flash with sim and sd card out of my phone ! I get an error somwere when "swiching to BP pass through" .
Still it works 2 out of 4 tries, using rsd lite 5.3.1
But this did not erase preinstall. is this normal??
How can I erase preinstall?
Thanks for your help

Thanks for the advice. After root i may be agbe to clean my phone.
I did not realize you were still on 2.3.4. Either way, the method I linked to is the "preinstall" method that has worked for quite some time. One-click Root might work but I'm not familiar with the "EU" version.

Do you think I shoud try that? I have an international Atrix, not AT&T
3.Your phone is on the latest Android 2.2 software (Blur_Version.4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US) or the latest Android 2.3 software (Blur_Version.4.5.91.MB860.ATT.en.US)
Not sure it is safe to do so...
Thanks for the link any way

I honestly have no idea. If you are not sure, don't do it because you never know what might happen. I don't want you to brick your phone if you are not sure what you are doing.
If you decide to do it, let me know if it removes the "unlock" text at boot.
Hey! I were about to flash cm11 4.4.2 via a guide, I did everything as it said but when he restarted the motorola logo came up and then after that it all went black, can't go in cwm.
Yes, I am rooted.
Yes, I had cwm recovery.
I had version 4.0.4 before flashing.
I followed every step it said and then it screwed up.
Any help?
I've never worked with motorola devices so I don't know how to use the RSD etc.
I can access the Bootloader and then go inside recovery and AP Fastboot but it says it's locked. I can also access stock recovery from that. I tried to another rom from that recovery but it says Signature verification failed.
Download the right Fastboot files for your phone and then use RSD lite to return to stock
Edit: Locked means that your Bootloader is locked which is normal because the Droid RAZR bootloader cannot be unlocked.

Okay, I got an European 4.0.4 firmware. Now what?
(Blur_Version.672.180.41.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU)
I don't know what firmware I should download either..?
I were on 4.0.4 before trying to flash.

Basically you can download every firmware for the XT910 model which is the same version or higher than you was before
Okay, now what? What do I do with that zip folder?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Open it with RSD Lite
Power up your phone in AP Fastboot
Connect your phone to PC
Rsd should recognize it
Then press start
