Boot Loop after unlocked bootloader

As the title says, After I unlocked the bootloader, and flashed a 2.3.4 rom, My Atrix sometimes will go up to the blur phase of the boot and then it will restart, but most of the time will just do a boot loop on the Red Moto Logo at boot, I can go into fastboot and recovery no problem...
Thanks on any help...

same thing
i get the same thing every now and then but i can get fastboot and recovery so im good i guess.

Did you wipe before you installed your ROM?
Do a fastboot -w then reinstall your ROM.

also do a factory reset and make sure your on the newest recovery

Did the fastboot -w and reinstalled the ROM and it is doing the bootloop the same, first boot goes up to the blur phase and reboots, and afterwards just does the boot loop up to the motorola dual core red logo.

Did you make sure to use tenfar's CWM instead of ROM Manager's? My 2.3.4 install also bootlooped, and that ended up being the issue.

Ok, but mine does not say unlocked right now, I did Unlock the bootloader but after I flashed the 1.2.6 SBF it does not say it!!!!

I noticed you posted that you actually have unlocked bootloader just make sure that when you turn on the phone it said in the left top corner "unlocked", if it is not that case just follow intructions on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15930466&postcount=1
download the script and select option 1 from the main menu and then option 3 and complete all the steps
so you can re unlocked the bootloader
then follow the instrucionts that I posted before here

mramirezusa Thank You.... As you stated, everything went smoothly and my phone it's perfect again, something I noticed, when it boots, it's does not say unlocked anymore shoul'd I do the procedure with the the script that you sent posted above...

[Q] 3.2 wifi only root

hi all i cant seem to root my xoom.
to start i have a uk wifi only model and have flashed the 3.2 usa wifi.
works perfectly, i have unlocked the bootloader flashed root boot and then when i give the command fastboot reboot to then try and enter the recovery it just gets jammed on motorola logo does anyone know what im doing wrong i have followed several guides to the letter know and i cant seem to get root,

You didn't explain exactly what you are doing (have done) when you get stuck at the dual core screen.
One problem that can occur when rooting is overwriting your new Clockworkmod Recovery with stock recovery. In case this is the problem, here is
some important information to help get the new CWM recovery to stick.
From a thread called "an Idiot's Guide to flashing the Xoom" with info originally by public animal:
To install recovery image (CWM)
Download the recovery image file and save it to your computer
1 Boot into flash mode with 'adb reboot bootloader'
2 Install your downloaded recovery image
C:\Documents and Settings\Anders> fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
3 Restart the device with 'fastboot reboot'. Timing is essential here, so be alert when the device restarts, or you will have to redo this process
4 Enter CWM with the following procedure: Once the Motorola logotype is shown, start counting to 3. At 3, press the Volume Down button. This should result in the text 'Android Recovery' in the top left corner. If it does not work, experiment with the timing ... 5 When 'Android Recovery' is shown press the Volume Up button. This should invoke the CWM recovery menu. If that works, then congratulations for reaching this far .
Here is a potential pitfall. If you are unable to enter CWM *before* the device boots into Honeycomb, then the newly installed recovery image will be overwritten by the system default recovery.

When it gets jammed after the bootloader unlock process it stays on the Motorola dualcore logo' if I press power and up to restart it won't boot normally at all it just stays on moto logo and then I have to reflash for it to boot up normal' I don't understand where I'm going wrong' I have followed the threads to the letter a DB and fastboot fully working but something is stopping me from getting root.

Error: Black Screen on reboot - Help.

I installed a modified home.apk to leave the dock transparent, but forgot to put the permissions, rebooted the phone and now he does not leave the black screen.
It is with the SONY logo on the screen.
I tried to restart and hold the menu button, but could not reboot.
Please, I need someone to help me: how to solve this problem?
My phone is: 2.3.4, root only, bootloader locked. Firmware 0.283.
Thanks !

I flash again. Solved.
Thanks !

Reflash with the Flashtool.

If you have ADB connected use that method to replace the Home.apk with proper permission and you can save some time

You can't connect using adb when the phone is stuck at boot which is why they'll have to reflash.

Yes you can. Use recovery and manualy mount data, system partitions. Then you can use "android commander". It makes this job fast and right. Experiensed users can use adb for pushing pulling apps. I reccomend commander because its grafical UI and easy to use.

In Recovery, wiped probably too much - no ROM

Like the title says.
I'm in recovery, I wiped it all (unfortunately even the ROM as zip I put on it) and now I don't have no ROM on it and no zip to flash a ROM.
Thought this was no problem, knowing from smartphone recoveries to mount sdcard and copying the file on it. But Nexus 7, well, has no sdcard.
What can I do?
As it is now, I don't have nothing on it and rebooting it wouldn't lead to anything useful.
I need help.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance.

If you have Android SDK installed, you can use adb push to push the zip file to your internal storage. Put the ROM zip file in your Android SDK - Platform Tools folder on your computer, reboot the N7 into Recovery (connected to computer of course!), open Command Prompt window and change directories to where ever you keep your Android SDK (for me, it's: cd sdk/platform-tools). Then type:
Code:
adb push <name of ROM zip file> /sdcard
Wait, and after about 20 - 60 seconds it'll complete, then you can flash the ROM. It'll be on the root of your internal sdcard (/sdcard).

Sounds difficult for a bloody rookie like me - is there really no easier way? Like transfering via recovery by just telling recovery to mound internal-sd so that it'll pop up on my pc? (know that from CWM and 4Ext on my smartphone)
Or could you explain the steps so that even the bloodiest rookie of them all could understand it properly :-/
aaaw **** -.-
by the way, device is still in recovery

TWRP as well. Just unlocked, rooted and flashed recovery and now I wanted to have a custom rom.
I tried to mount data and what else there was in "advanced" - my PC doesn't show me anything
Edit: not in advanced, it's the point "mount"

Restock and reroot.You can use Wugfresh toolkit for this. You just install the toolkit and if you can boot in bootloader mode you're saved. That's what I did and it solved my problem.

How'd you root/unlock, toolkit of some type?
Using the adb command mentioned is the only way that I know of to push a file to your N7. It's not as difficult to do as it sounds.

Yeah that would work, as long as you don't re-lock via fastboot. That's what probably wiped out your sdcard, was the fastboot unlock of your device, as it wipes your sdcard.

Is it important which current status I choose?
There are 2 to be chosen: Soft-Bricked/Bootloop and Device is on/Normal
If "Device is on" means, that it's turned on, then this'll be my choice, right?

This ain't even my device :-/

I've never used any of the toolkits out there, I've done it using adb/fastboot commands in a Command Prompt window.

Toolkits are probably the easiest way - and it was pretty easy - who could expect me to wipe the zip, I just moved to the storage before flashing it?...

Why does this file has to be hosted on goo.im?
Goo.im gives me roundabout 120kb/s...

I desperately hope to have the same luck...will the bootloader still be unlocked after that procedure? I understand that root definetely is gone, but that shouldn't be a problem at all.

It will remain unlocked until/unless you run the fastboot command: fastboot oem lock
If you don't run this, it will remain unlocked.

Whoaaaa I could scream!
Now that I downloaded the right one and try to flash it through the toolkit, it tells me, that there's no adb to be found. He doesn't recognize the device in bootloader.
What should I do?
OH THANK GOD! Tried it via recovery, he found it and restarted into bootloader

First of all: thank you so much guys - I was really shocked, but it all worked out
One more question before I make the same mistake again. Where should I put the zip which I wanna flash? When I have it connected to the pc, it shows me a portable device where the folders of the internal storage are (like Alarms, Android, DCIM, Download etc pp) - that's where I put the ZIP before.
Shall I keep it there?
And another question: what should I wipe in order to get it done properly?
Edit: Figured it out - got me CWM, much more familiar with that one
but thanks again for all your help guys

[Q] Factory Reset from Fastboot

Hi everyone,
My phone cannot get into recovery and I need to factory reset. Is it possible to do this using fastboot from the console?
My phone keeps going back to the fastboot screen and this is what it says:
Invalid Flash Mode (S)
10.9B(*) (sha-le9f557, 2013-05-24 14:49:34)
eMMC Info: Size 8GB
Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0
Battery OK
Connect USB
Data Cable
Failed to hab check for boot: 0x56
Fastboot Reason: Boot Failure
This comes up after I hold down the both volume buttons and the power button and try to load Recovery. I get the dead android with the red traingle.
If I start up normally I get the dead android with the red triangle again, and then it eventually goes back to fastboot, saying the reason is Flash Failure
Any help is gratefully appreciated
Thanks

when you get to Android Andy what happens when you hold volume down and tap volume up?
If you get in there I would wipe the cache partition as well... tho either of these may not help the issue... what were you doing prior to this happening? were you updating and get this upon its restart? Did it die and power up to this?... did it just randomly shut off and power up to this?

When I got to android andy the android system recovery 3e menu popped up. I wiped the cache partition and did a factory reset, then rebooted but I'm still going in circles between the dead android and fastboot. Prior to this I had tried using safestrap to set up a recovery, but when I rebooted, I got stuck at fastboot. There was one point when I got to what I think was the fastboot menu and from there I tried flashing cyanogenmod, which I'm pretty sure was a mistake. Now I cant figure out how to get back to that menu.

OK...
First, what do you mean by "set up a recovery"?
I noticed your bootloader is locked. That means no custom recoveries can be flashed, so that's probably your problem.
If you tried to fastboot the Cyanogenmod zip (!?) that definitely didn't help.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to reset to sell or return or something? Also, what system version did you have (or, if you don't know that, when did you get the phone and have you taken any OTA updates)? And were you previously rooted?
It sounds like you had a bad flash. Give me that info and I'll try to help you unbrick it...

Yeah I'm still a noob at this, sorry. By set up a recovery I mean manually installing safestrap because clockworkmod doesn't support xt907, and I couldn't flash it manually from my computer, probably because of what you said about my bootloader being locked. Really all I want to do is get my old OS back, just the stock android that I got when I bought it. I had version 4.1.2 which I got from an OTA update, and I have not been previously rooted. Thanks for being patient with me by the way, I understand people like me probably make you want to rip your hair out...

Ah OK. That clarifies a lot.
So, I'll explain a few things here since you seem a little lost
1: safestrap is not the same as clockworkmod. It's based off of TWRP, but it's not technically even a custom recovery, just a bootstrap hijack.
2. Yeah, you can't flash safestrap. It's actually installed via an app, and you do need root to use it.
3. When did you update? If you did the latest OTA, you unfortunately can't downgrade... If you didn't, we can help you unlock the bootloader, then you can downgrade at will.
4. If you do unlock, you can install clockworkmod or any other recovery. If you can unlock, I strongly advise you do it.

Ah OK. That clarifies a lot.
So, I'll explain a few things here since you seem a little lost
1: safestrap is not the same as clockworkmod. It's based off of TWRP, but it's not technically even a custom recovery, just a bootstrap hijack.

Oh ok, thanks for explaining. I'm not sure when I updated, but I know for sure it was OTA, so I can't downgrade. And do I need to unlock to fix this whole thing? Because for now I just want my phone back... I'm not exactly worried about flashing or rooting or anything.

Did you try the link I provided? I was stuck on the same screen, took me all day to figure it out.

So this might be a stupid question... but which option do I choose after typing in my phone model? RSD, Fastboot [snapdragon] or moto-fastboot [omap]?

Also, I tried unlocking my bootloader. I used this thing called motopocalype and it should have worked, but apparently it didn't Im sort of hesitant about running it again.
Here's the link: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...k-your-bootloader-atrix-hdrazr-hdrazr-m-only/

Did you get your phone back up?... if your on system version .3 or .78 you cannot unlock your boot loader build date 5/2013..

If it didn't work, you're probably already updated. Looks like you can't unlock unfortunately

Rsd. From that point you should be able to choose whether you want to erase everything or save it. Worked like a charm for me, took about 10min
