My artix RSD/SBF Story - Atrix 4G General

hi The Atrix has been my first official Android phone, i had a HTC TILT 2, which i flashed to 2.3. But this Atrix is very confusing. The first thing i haven't been able to flash any sbf file since i have gotten the phone. I wanted to go back to stock because my webtop hack wasn't working through adb or gingerblur bloatware.zip in cwm. So extracted the SBF to the root of my c: drive,unzipped, renamed SBF, waited for connection, then it extracts 100%then fails and gives and error but it never restarted. But last night i ran rsd with the sbf from this link http://bandbinnovations.com/xda/OLYF..._1g_1FF.sbf.g[/url], and ran the sbf properly, but after it executed 100%, then started running the phone commands, but while running commands it stopped @86% and gave a error "switching device to bp pass error", i tried to flash this same file a second time but each time it stopped and gave the same error at 86%, and RDS completely stopped. so i unplugged the usb from my computer, and it was stuck at the M logo screen(all night). So i freaked out and thought it was bricked, because no sbf i have tried has worked for me, and my battery was getting low flashing SBF so many times. and almost called att warranty this morning. But this morning i turned my Atrix on and boom it was back to stock 1.2.6?Dont know how i did it,or how do it again properly, but glad im back to stock. But that was extremly confusing and frustrating!

which VERSION of RSD were you used?
RSD 5.0 or RSD 5.3.1 is OK for flash AT&T 1.26 or 1.5.7 or 1.8.3 SBF.
I flashed my ATT Atrix with RSD 5.0 many times, there's no issue every time.

Ok, so you are up and running then. The only thing i was going to suggest is flashing SBF to get you back to Stock Android 2.2 and starting the process over again. I had a similar problem and wiped everything clean IOT get what i wanted. SBF'ing is simpler then you think, all you need is 2 files (rsdlite_4.8 and VRZ MB810_2.3.15 sbf). There's lots of articles here on it and I used them when I thought I bricked my phone. I started all over and was able to receive my 2.2.1 update.....finally!!
have you done the ota update? if so use 2.3.32.sbf you can get it by google and search droid x 2.3.32 sbf and its the first result. and dl rdlite 4.8. very easy to flash. several guides on here as stated.
I got it my drivers are up to date but won't find my phone.. And I'm leary all I got to do is that file and update?

HELP! Think i bricked the phone

I tried to flash Fizzion rom and then all it would do is get stuck at the M. . Then i couldn't get clockwork recovery to come up.. I tried to sbf and it keeps failing at the very end of a long ass process.. I used sbf on this phone once before and had no problems.. Now it doesn't do anything but go to the bootloader. .It's a friends phone so im kinda freaking out..
What version were you on and what sbf versiln did you try to flash?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
2.3.15 trying to use 2.3.15 sbf
Can you boot into stock recovery? (Home and power, at triangle push search button once)
If you can, try to wipe data and cache.

Sometimes it will say it failed at the end, but it just isn't overwriting bp-passthroug. This isnt an essential file if you are already on the same version as the sbf you are using. These are radio files I believe... So if this part fails...oh well. As long as it is writing the system files, that is what you should be concerned about for the most part.
Please help...very similar situation I am in as was boredmug. I Flashed the Fission Rom...then it got stuck on the "M" boot animation...I did some research and used RSD Lite 4.8 to flash 2.3.15 sbf from bootloader... It started working fine and then right at the end of the process my bootloader said "Battery low...Unable to program". I know my battery was fully charged..
Could I just need a new battery maybe?? hopefully???

I had this happen to me before. You will need to charge your battery before you continue. I hope you did not fry out your battery as this has also happened to me. Give it a full charge as well.
There is a full 340 SBF that you can use with RSD Lite as well as a zip, maderstcok for 340. With the maderstcok update ( which works just as well as flashing with RSD Lite ) it doesn't matter which bootloader you have as long as you are on 2.3.15. It will update all files so you are on the latest version of Android.
Make sure you guys are wiping data/cache as well before SBF or installing new ROMS.
When I plug the phone into USB port and the led is green and the bootloader still says "Battery low, Cannot program." Would it help to get another battery?
It also says "NEW_MAP Blank" above the battery low message. Does that have something to do with it?

USB port charging is not enough to charge the phone properly. You will need to charge the phone with the wall charger while the phone is off or take it to a Verizon store so they can charge it for you. Usually the batteries from VZW come with less then half a charge. They can also test your battery to make sure it's still good.
I finally solved the problem by "rigging" up the battery to another USB cable wires. Crazy, but it worked. I'm all good now.. Thanks.

Make sure you put the. Sbf in the rsd lite folder, I had the same problem.

like in the install folder?
ok, i got the start button to work, but now i get an error. "Failed flashing process. failed flashing process. (0x7100); phone connected"
You have the phone in rsd mode? I had a problem where my main laptop wouldn't flash it for some reason but when I used another I had it worked.

yeah its in rsd mode. maybe if i bood in to windows with driver signing disabled?
i have the same error flashing the stock sbf and not the first leaked sbf
just found this guide. and it worked! http://groups.google.com/group/shadowmodbr/browse_thread/thread/e0a19659f5fb7683?pli=1

Freaking out here might have bricked my phone...

So I was told to install the deodexed [sp] of the GB leak, so I did on top of my rooted, non deodexed version, without wiping. After this I wiped my data a few times, as I heard it would be best to do. Well, after doing so... my phone won't stop bootlooping. I can't access the bootstrapped bootloader, only the stock Moterola one, and I cleared my data with it hoping it would work too...
Help please? How do I "sbf" back to stock or whatever?
Yeah, I don't think it was possible to go from orginial GB leak straight to the rooted one.
You will need RSDLite 4.8 or higher and 2.3.340 sbf file. Both should be easily findable with a Google search. Follow SBF instructions from there.
I hope its ok to post this link here:

this is totally being lazy AND the reason why everyone is raising their prices on insurance and why ppl like motorola are locking bootloaders. if it is too much or you're too lazy to do it. dont do it in the first place. sbf isnt hard there are a gazillion guides to sbf'ing. not trying to be rude but seriously?
Yeah, I spf'd just fine (twice now cause I'm dumb lol) so problem solved. I would like some help in my other topic though, about GB deodexed.

you have to sbf to .340 use z4 root to root then install DX bootstraper reboot to recovery flash gbrooted.zip if you get stuck in bootloop go into factory recovery and wipe data reboot download and install D2 bootstrapper yes D2, boot into recovery and flash gbrooteddeodexed.zip and let it try and boot it SHOULD bootup after a couple of minutes, if it doesnt get into stock recovery and wipe data, reboot
also it could bootloop because of corrupt downloads

I don't really talk like that,but I was trying to make it seem as if i don't know much about phones.They have to send you another phone because they will think it's a manufacturing problem...
slfdjgdkkjfh! Damnit! I've been working on this all day and just now realized that the issue was that I wasn't using D2 bootstrap, I was still using the DX one and flashing deodexed right after the rooted one.

Yes it was a problem that I caused but at that momment I got scared and wasn't sure what I was suppose to do,and because I have no internet at home because i'm never home I use wireless tether when im there and my phone was messed up so wasn't able to look at guides to fix it.....So the easiest thing I thought of is calling them.I wouldn't have mind fixing it but again I wasn't able to at that momment.
I had the same thing happen. Put the letter p at the end of the file name and move it to c:\ this worked for me on rsd lite 4.8 I just kept pulling the battery and retrying until it went through

I'd just like to point out that you don't actually need rsd lite 4.8 or higher. 4.7 has worked perfectly for me the several times I have SBF'ed

Pls help stuck

I was trying to flash a custom rom onto my sisters droid x. I'm not new to androids and have pretty good knowledge but coming from a atrix it was a bit different. Anyway I flashed the rom and the phone got stuck on the moto sign. So I tried loading back to stock via rsdlite. It finished and phone rebooted. Then got stuck again on the moto sign. Don't know where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. She needs her phone asap for work soon. Thanks.
Try SBFing again using RSD Lite, or use the Linux live cd--which is much easier.
Be sure you are using the correct SBF, also. Should say version .602.

Hey man - been there done that The SBF_FLASH utility you can download and use in LINUX (you can boot with the Ubuntu Live CD like the guy above suggested) is MUCH better. It "just works". Never had it error and RSDLITE failed so many times my battery went dead (before). I don't even bother with it now I just go straight to sbf_flash.
always remember to wipe wipe wipe... thats y u got stuck at the moto after rsd...
