[Q] Is My Atrix Fixable?

My apologies, as I wasn't sure where to post this.
For a long time now I've been running CM7 both the nightlies and the weeklys with no issues. Yesterday I decided I would try Neutrino ROM and installed GT 2.5. After that I noticed I had no data connection so I attempted to patch the ROM using Notorious's recommendations to no avail so I installed 2.2 and the Google addons, Sync, etc..
All was working great, however everyone said 2.5 was better in the forums so I installed it again today and attempted to patch as explained and this time was successful. I had data connection again and all was well. About an hour later I went to use my phone and it was completely black.
I attempted to power it up and nothing happened. I finally had to pull the battery and was able to get it to boot up properly, however my data connection was gone again. I ran the sysctl -p command in terminal again and rebooted it to no avail. I finally decided to go back to 2.2 which worked properly last night, however after installing from the zip and the addon zips it went to the 'Dual Core' screen and then rebooted back to the 'Dual Core' screen and keeps doing that.
I attempted to go into Recovery Mode, however when it says 'Entering Recovery Mode' it just goes black and I can't power it back on. I then have to reseat the battery before I can get it to work.
I guess at this point, is there anything I can do to get my phone back? I've seen the hard brick messages and I don't have that (yet), but I am not sure, because I apparently can't get that far. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Sounds like a hardware problem to me. I recommend taking it to a service center ( for me ATT has one I use.) and sometimes they can boot it up. Or they can maybe give you ideas.
Just to confirm you can't boot anything right??

Thanks for the response. I was unable to boot into Android Recovery, however I hadn't tried the others. After numerous searches I found information on how to use moto-fastboot to install RomRacer's Recovery image and after doing that I was able to get into Recovery (phew!). I did a complete wipe on the phone (Dalvik, system, etc) and installed Neutrino 2.2 with Lite gapps, United States (GPS), Sync, and Gtalk (for video) and shockingly it finally booted into the rom. I think at this point I'll leave it alone after restoring my apps via Titanium Backup.
My phone is now working again. Hopefully I can keep it that way.

[Q] Rebooting Defy (in a whole new level)

Hi, I've searched my problem but came up only with "regular" reboot answers. Let me explain:
I was using the newest CM10 builds by Quarx as they were coming, and once in a while my phone rebooted/freezed. I was using nightlies so I was ok with that kinda of thing. But after flashing the last nightly (07/03), my phone was rebooting whenever I pushed him harder than opening the app drawer.
After wiping data, cache and everything else without any results, I've decided to flash an official SBF - Then the phone rebooted in the middle of the RSD flash process. I've started it again and it went ok... but now my phone is rebooting at the Moto logo, when I try to wipe the cache or factory reset through bootloader. I can't do anything with him.
Can someone give me any expectation? Something new to try? Or, hell, even a confirmation that my Defy is dead and there's nothing I can do?

SBF
Hi,
draw the battery,
wait a time,
put the battery inside,
start the steps to flash sbf,
after the flashing is finish make a factory reset in stock recovery,
install 2ndint ( i wrote something on the beginning like: After install 2ndinit restart, deactivat usb debug,and restart again),
Then install one of the beautiful CMs here.

You just have to flash another rom using RSD lite, It will work.
Or just flash the official ROM which u had before installing the CM 10

Thanks for the attention, but I have tried flashing both his original SBF (Retail 2.3.7 from Brazil) and the Chinese one, both causing reboots when I try to wipe data/cache in recovery. If I let it turn on normally it reboots in the first steps (wifi and account configuration), so I can't even install 2ndinit or wipe data through the system. Any other ideas?

[Q] [HELP] A very weird problem with X5 Pro

Have searched the forum and couldn't find any discussion about a similar problem to what i'm having with my phone. This is super weird.
I'm on an official B928 rom. It started some time ago. Whenever i reboot my phone it "resets" to a particular state. Which means - everything i do with my phone before a reboot gets reversed back to a particular state at which my phone "froze". If i delete sms, they come back, if i install programs they are gone, if i uninstall programs - they come back and so on..
I've tried to flash B928 and B552, but i always get an error at the second stage (have tried all possible combinations - with/without the battery, formatting the card). Pink screen is blocked - can't unblock it, because my phone deletes the necessary files after reboot. Can't install CWM for the same reason.
Is that it? I'm out of ideas. If anyone can throw any idea at me or direct me in the right direction i would be very grateful.
Thank you

reboot recovery
advance menu
format /data
take a look if it help

I only have the standard recovery, not cwm, it doesn't have advanced menu.
But even if i try the wipes in it, it does nothing, meaning it doesn't even delete my data.
Thanks

I'm having the same issue with my u8800-51. My thread is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2331209 but no suggestions therein have helped, yet.

Ok, i see. I've seen some people restoring their phones with Acronis, but for this you need a working pink screen, which is a no-go for me..

Is my phone defective?

Hello guys,
I was using my phone with DN5 ROM, and today it started to freeze. I tried to clear Dalvik cache and cache, but the TWRP was also freezing. I did a full wipe, and tried to reinstall DN5, but installation also crashed. I installed back the Stock ROM via Odin, the installation was a success, but after the phone reboots, I got a message saying “Installing updates” then “Erasing…” then “No command”. Phone then started, initialize and all, but after a minute of use it crashes and reboot. Im out of ideas here.
My question is: Is there anything else to do before taking it to the assistance?
Phone Model 910C
Actual ROM N910CXXU1COI4

Just restore with Kies

I did that, no luck

Suddenly stuck in boot loop (official rom, unrooted)

So i was simply updating youtube through google play, and messenger through messenger it self and suddenly the phone went into boot loop and can't get it out.
opening recovery mode is hard but when i managed to do it, it simply shows the android icon and installing system updates then restarts again. (tried it ~4 times). thanks to that i can't try clearing cache or any of that stuff on the list that is supposed to appear in recover mode.
trying force restart also does nothing.
trying to remove memory card and sim also didn't work.
i read that flashing HOME_CSC from a rom could fix it but the rom websites i know offer limited sizes and speeds and i don't have a strong internet which ends up timing out, can someone help me out? G935FOJV2ERGE is the one i need.
if you have any other ideas that can help, i would also greatly appreciate it, i really don't want to have to buy a new phone atm, and don't want to lose all my data because i don't used backup services cuz they ate up data .
edit: I am on latest official rom, only used OTA updates, haven't rooted the phone.
edit 2: i managed to get a different region's rom and flashed it's home_csc file, and force restarted it and seems to have worked booted, then it started doing it again just 1 second after that. i didn't even have time to unlock it.
edit 3: managed to get into recovery mode list once, wiping cache didn't work. couldn't get into recovery mode again after that. then i gave up and tried flashing a full rom. still the same problem.
