atrix not sending/reciving mms and fingerprint scanner not functioning properly

[Proboarder2712]

Hey guys. First I'll say, sorry if I'm wasting time making a new thread but I've been doing research and trial by error for 4 days straight. I'm hoping someone can provide me with either guidance or where to go for the information I need.
First of all I have an Atrix 4g and I installed gingerblur. Was a breeze so props to everyone's posts. I’ve been checking for 4 days and I've seen a few users having problems with receiving MMS. I’ve done the research and I know the problem lies in my phone, not AT&T. I'm not able to send pictures or videos and when I receive the message it simply says download but never will. Pulling the battery doesn’t work, nor does a hard reset or reinstall of gingerblur. I’ve also switched from ginger to gladiatrix and back but to no avail. I am also sure that the problem isn’t a messenger service because I've gone back to the stock messenger app and they still won’t down/upload. And yes... I have plenty of service because my internet, sms, email, hard tether and wifi-tether works. I’ve also switched my apns to see if the custom tethering apn is causing the issue. After I flashed ginger onto my atrix I did a factory reset which deleted my apns. However, I have created new apns set to an att stores display atrix. I cant get or recieve any mms from any network including a self message or att corporate message. And for the retard that will look at this... Yes.. my airplane mode is the O.F.F mode, and again, battery pull(soft reset) is not working.

On a side note I can’t figure out how to get the stock backup files to load and when I did my original flash to ginger, I later did a hard reset which deleted the original backup.

Next my fingerprint scanner hasn’t been functioning properly since gingerblur. The scanner will let me input my prints into the system but unless the phone is plugged into the wall charger the phone will simply say “initializing finger scanner...” and won’t even respond to any touch. The scanner is not dirty, and all the files seem to be intact as I can set up the scanner(yes I have deleted the prints and remade the profile).

Finally, my webtop has been replaced by hdmi mirroring and I’m wondering if I can somehow go back to the Motorola webdock? When I plug the phone into the TV I only get the options for entertainment center or do nothing. The Rom included hdmi mirroring but I prefer the way Motorola set up the dock since I can use the entire screen vs. a small area of the TV.

If you need any other information let me know, I'll be happy to oblige as soon as I can.
Thank you again, I really hope someone can give me some direction.

Hi Proboarder, welcome to the forums, though I hate that you've had to come for help because of all of your issues.

Unfortunately, it sounds like you have far too many different issues to easily fix your phone's ailments. To get the stock files back to your phone would be a long process and wouldn't be guaranteed to fix most of the issues.

I would most definitely recommend a full flash back to 1.26 and starting over with root/update, etc. Since you have root now you can use TiBU to back up all of your apps and restore them after the update and re-root. Don't restore system settings as that would most likely bring back some of the issues you're having.

Thank you for your help. It took me a while to flash back(problems with every program I use) but I was finally able to get there. After that I just started loading gingerblur and it looks like all my problems were caused by some bad flash software. The only thing not working properly though is my fingerprint scanner which is having the same problems as before. However I feel that this is an issue with the rom itself.

Sorry I couldn't give you better, more simple advice, but I'm glad to hear you're most of the way back up.

Have you rebooted a few times since install? I know that has solved a few issues with the scanner previously.

[Proboarder2712]

Yes and what else fixed the issues was rescanning the prints. But its not working for me.

When you flashed to 4.1.26, before hacking further, did your phone's fingerprint scanner work? If not, you'll wanna clean your phone of hacks and get a new one from the retailer you bought it from (AT&T, Amazon, Best Buy). You should have a 30 day trial period and I hope it's not expired.

Welcome to the forums,

Yes the scanner works perfectly fine before I do any type of mod.
Right now this is the only thing that doesn't function properly. Everything else was fixed with a new flash. You can close this thread. Thanks
