Hello All,
I've been looking on the site for hours and can't figure this out. Hopefully someone can help me.
Sorry if this is a similar post to someone else but after reading lots of post none helped me out.
I just got a Motorola Atrix 4g unlocked and tried to update the OS from the offical site using their software and when it was almost finished the Atrix rebooted and not is stuck in a boot loop where it gets to the pulsing M logo then restarts.
I'm not sure what to do and not too familar with rooting or anything i just tried to use the offical site software so i wouldn't have issues and bang i got F up. hopefully someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Exactly the same thing happened to me yesterday. I asked someone on the motorola support forums and he helped me like this: first you need to do an external hard reset. Here are the instructions but there is a small variation once you get to the triangle/android screen, because in gingerbread you are supposed to do this: "Instead of tapping the lower right corner of the screen push both volume up and volume down buttons at the same time for the recovery menu.
Then, instead of tapping "OK", use the power button to confirm."
To perform an External Manual Reset of your handset to restore to factory settings, read instructions below and then perform.
Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button, press power button.
Screen will come up with "Fastboot", press Vol down key to cycle through choices until you get "Android Recovery", then press Vol up key
Wait for the "triangle ! / Android" screen
Tap on bottom right corner of the screen (may take a few times). a menu will come up
Tap on "wipe data/factory reset", and tap OK. Another Confirmation screen will come. Tap Yes and OK
After userdata is cleared, the "reboot system now" option will be highlighted by Default. Tap OK.
Phone will reboot to initial setup MOTOBLUR screen.
I hope this will help. It saved my phone yesterday. On the other hand, welcome to the world of gingerbread bugs and glitches...
oh and never use official updates in the phones settingz it will.f stuff up k
i went to the darkside today
3.1.2 +1.4elite
Thanks for the help I some how got it back up and running and now its at 2.3.4 from 2.2.2 so i'm happy.

I just got a NexusOne last night from someone who had already rooted it. So I went to erase all data on the phone and now it will not boot up. The phone will just stay at the boot animation. I do not have any of the software on my computer, nor do I know how to get it.
If someone on here can give a step by step instructions on how to fix this I would be super thankful. Also I have tried all of the volume down fixes. I just end up on a screen that says fastboot, recovery, clear storage,simlock with 3 little green droids at the bottom.

Don't panic too much.
If you can get that far it isn't bricked.
I can only assume you have some sort of recovery also?
You need to put a rom on your SD card and boot into recovery and flash the rom.
Make sure you wipe again before hand, including the dalvik cache.
All should be good then.
1. Download selected ROM (Cyan, Modaco...etc)
2. Make sure it is on SD Card (root)
3. Boot phone into recovery
4. Wipe Dalvik and Data
5. Flash ROM
6. Reboot
7. Drool over it all day long.
HTH.
Got You...

Okay, Here we go.. First press and hold down the trackball, then while doing that press and hold the power button. Now, here you should see a white screen with android's on skateboards... Choose the one that says bootloader, by pressing the power key as that selection is highlighted.
Now, Here you should see your bootloader.. Go To Cyanogen Site and thread for 5.0.3 and download the 5.0.3 rom, the gappspassion ere36b 2 file, and I once your done your good to go...
So this is how it goes. Download Files... Press Trackball and hold power.. As soon as you see the screen come up, Press the power button but assure that Bootloader is highlited in blue so thats the direction you'll go. Now after that, use the vol- button and scroll to revovery, once in blue and highlighted, press the power and your on your way to the best part...
Once here, you'll see a black screen with green letters, here choose, usb-toggle, press the trackball and you should see it come up as a disk on your cpu.. From here copy the files i told you to download.. TO THE ROOT OF YOUR SD CARD, MEANING THE WHITE OPEN SPACE, NOT A FOLDER. Once your done with that, eject the device and on the device press the trackball, this will get you out of the usb toggle.Now, scroll with the trackball to flash from sd..
Okay In this order.. FOLLOW THE ORDER...
Flash The 5.0.3 rom first, first do a wipe, (scroll to wipe/factory restore, wipe dalvik cache) now flash the rom, it's easy you'll know.. Once thats done, it'll say done... Flash the gapps-ere36b file.. once that is done... it'll say done... it will land on "Reboot" if it dosn't press the vol- unitl you do see it. Once you reboot your good...
You probably deleted the boot by mistake. Remeber this is just as sensitive as a MAC so be sure to listen to what I said.. You have one more task which is to flash the Radio, but your ok with the one on Cyanogens rom.. When ready PM me and I will continue to help you...
Okay, Here we go.. First press and hold down the trackball, then while doing that press and hold the power button. Now, here you should see a white screen with android's on skateboards... Choose the one that says bootloader, by pressing the power key as that selection is highlighted.
When I highlight bootloader and click on it I get up top in red Fastboot USB and then I get an error sound. It seems that my phone is not being read by my computer when connected via USB. Is there any other way to fix this at all? There are no actions that happen, I am unable to do anything.
Your Right.. On Your Way...

Okay, So you did the right thing.. Your not doing anything wrong.. Where it says fastboot usb in read it means your still in fastboot you haven't went to bootloader. Press the power button while bootloader is highlighted in blue, once you do that you should end up on the second screen whre you scroll down with the vol- button to highlight recovery.. once there press the power button.. From Here continue on where I left off above..
Don't worry buddy, almost there, NOTHING IS WRONG WITH YOUR NEXUS, so don't panic there little one. You'll be on your way showing everyone diff roms and riding the android wave like your stupid... LOL
It is not working. Fastboot appears in Red. When ipress the power button when bootloader is in blue it just takes me back a screen.
Huh?

Sorry, I was busy in the Modaco Section which i hope you get to it...
Alright.. Fastbootusb is suppose to be highlighted in red when first reach the fastboot screen i.e. skateboards... Here is where bootloader is highlighted in blue. Here is where you click the power button and it will take you to the next screen. *Here* if you just press the power button again it does take you back a screen to the start, but, YOUR suppose to use the vol- (down) button and scroll to recovery. Then press the power button up top. Then you'll see the screen wipe down and from there your on your way...
This section is recovery.. (the black screen Green letters) Here is where I told you flash the roms.
Wow... gotta love when people, who have no business modding their phones, leap before they look.

im trying to get my Motorola bravo out of the motorola boot screen. i rooted my phone with superonclick. that wasn't the problem, what was the problem was that. i wanted to install a new font on the system. i changed the file name because i read this stupid artical about doing that. and now i am stuck on the Motorola screen. i have already wipe/factory reset and called at&t and they say i can return the phone and get another. but if there is anyone out there that could help with this. then i would be a verryyy happy person! cause i wanna do this and get back to my live
Out of curiosity...What method did you use to wipe data/factory reset?
I found myself in this situation a couple of times and factory reset + wipe data worked.
Just so we are on the same page, what I did is have phone completely off, press volume down and hold, then press power button till Motorola comes out, then release both buttons.
Android robot with yellow triangle comes out. Press the lower right hand part of the screen and you should see a few options on the top. Use up and down to select factory reset and wipe data, press the bottom portion of the screen to confirm, touch the OK a few times if you feel the bar isn't moving.
Then you should be prompted that your phone has been reset and you are OK to reboot.

I'm having the same problem, but nothing happens when i press the lower right hand part of the screen.
I rooted it with superoneclick. the problem arose when I tried to flash a bravoX rom. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.

Try using the volume rocker. If you press them both at the same time the menu should come up.

i did this but no robot came up. still stuck at motorola symbol. all i did was root and install bootstrap recovery. i need help since this is my only phone.
I am trying to do a hard reset on my Droid X as something gets it stuck on the Eye during bootup and it just stays on the screen.
I did the hold power and home to get the exclamation point with the Android figure, but when I hit the search hard key, nothing happens, and my understanding is that it is suppose to bring up a menu that allows me to choose to factory wipe it.
Anyone seen this before? I am on the non-rooted leaked Gingerbread rom.

When you get to the exclamation point again, push the volume up and down key at the same time. That will bring up the menu. then do a wipe data/factory reset (3 or 4 times is recommended)
Did you get it??
Got it! Thanks, that was exactly right, wonder why the web was filled with so many instruction to hit the search button...
Cool! It should have been posted with whatever directions you followed to flash the GB leak.
Phone: Motorola Bravo
Permissions: Root
Method: SuperOneClick
The problem occurred when I tried to do a restore using bandroidx's bootstrapper.
I tried doing this:

[EDIT]: Nevermind. I sbfed it. Everthing is working now.
Hey guys,
So here it goes. Phone was getting really slow, so I did a factory reset on it. Worked pretty fine for a few days and then suddenly yesterday phone started freezing while starting. Just get to see the HTC Logo but thats it. I have not unlocked the bootloader since I never felt the need to root my phone.
I have absolutely ZERO experience in rooting a phone or flashing the ROM. Please provide me a dummy's guide to fix the darn thing and get it running back up.
P.S:- I have the 4GB/64GB version

hi,
press and hold volume down + power key until the phone start into fastboot mode
then chose with volume up/down the "reboot to bootloader" press power button, then a white screen with colorfull font appers
then chose "boot recovery mode" in the same way as before and press power button, then a screen with a red exclamtion mark appears,
now press and hold power button + press volume up key several times, a screen appers,
now chose "WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET" and press power key,
after this has finished maybe there is a reboot option, chose it and press power button
this should bring your phone back to life
if not, or your phone makes noise or huanging, press and hold volume down + power key until the phone goes into fastboot there you can power down
if your phone does not boot normal then your phone need to send into service...
