[HOW TO] Use RSD Lite to Flash a SBF File - Motorola Atrix

[gk141054]

Hi guys, bringing this thread back from the dead somewhat but hopefully there are still some knowledgeable atrix owners around.

I have just flashed the T-Mobile UK SBF to my Atrix using RSD Lite and got to the point where it said "Please manually reboot the phone"... when I did so, I got a boot look where the Morotola logo would come up but then it just black screens and restarts infinitely....

Canyone anyone help me get my Atrix back to working please?

Welcome to the forum! I'm not a technician, so I can't answer your problem/question. Can you hang on for awhile until we can find a knowledgeable person?

Hi, managed to fix the problem now, thanks anyway.

Not sure what fixed if as I was tinkering and trying a few different things but I think it was a wipe with Fastboot that did the trick.

Cheers

I have an Atrix that won't boot past the "Rethink Possible" screen. It is not rooted. As far as I know it does not have Gingerbread. I have tried multiple times to do a hard reset/recovery but I am not getting the screen that I am supposed to get. I am attaching a picture. When I hold the volume down, then the power button, I get nothing at all until I let go of the power button. Then I get the Fastboot Flash Mode screen. No matter what I do it will not go beyond this screen and I cannot navigate anywhere on that screen using the volume buttons. I have tried using volume up, volume down, the power button, volume up and down at the same time, but I cannot get beyond this screen. I have to pull the battery to start over. I have tried starting the phone using volume up and both buttons, but the screen showed is the only one I get. Do you have any ideas what I need to do? (I just realized I have the Atrix 2. But everything I've read says the hard reset process is the same)

I do not know much about the Atrix 2, so the best I can do is point you in the right direction. I would do some reading up here...

Off hand it sounds to me like you will need to reflash your firmware, but you should ask someone more knowlegable than I. When you would do it will be helpful to have all of the information for your phone and how it got to where it's at.

Condor97 thanks so much for the info. I found my problem! Although I had used every combination of buttons, that was after I got the screen pictured above. The Atrix 2 recovery boot is different from the Atrix. The Atrix 2 requires both volume buttons plus the power button to enter recovery. Thanks so much for your help. I have now been able to reset my phone and it is working!

No problem! Glad you got it figured out.
