I installed the Supercharged Atrix V5 on my Atrix 2 and it works fine for two days. Than i installed the v5 update 2 and started facing force close issues.
I read the thread and downloaded the second larger file which is said to be restored in case of force close issues. I installed that also but even than faced the force close issues regularly.
So i thought to go back to Stock ROM through Fastboot Files. I tried to restore through RSD Lite but I got an error message saying "Flashing Failed".
And from than onwards whenever I restart my Atrix 2, i got a black screen of AP Fastboot and on top written "Flash Failure".
So every time i have to turn it off and than uses Three Button Method to go to normal powerup and than my phone starts with V5 loaded.
I don't know how to resolve this problem coz even factory resetting or any other method won't work for resetting it back to stock ROM.
Kindly help me out in resolving this flash failure issue.
Thanks in advance....

When starting the phone hold the vol up+vol-down button. Select normal boot, and if that doesn't work try reflashing the fkz

I had mentioned that this vol up + vol down and then selection normal power up starts my phone normally.
But i want to get rid of the flash failure startup message and want my phone to boot with power button ....

I have the same exact issue. Flashing between roms has not solved the problem for me.

well do u guys have the right drivers installed? because i got a flash failure. but it was because my dog ate through my cord...
so went to walmart and got a cheap one and needed to install the right drivers. sadly i couldnt cause my phone was dead and i had soft bricked it. so i through it in the toilet and got a new one from best buy insurance! its bull... but whatever.
my advise is see how everything is connected and see if u have the right drivers. then flash the fxz file. also make sure u have the right fxz...
try the restore to stock script that is here somewhere, works wonders for me.
Hi man, I had the same problem but restored my phone without any problem... Can you explain in which step does the RSD lite flash say Flashing failed??? I mean, whenever RSD lite says flashing failed it'll quote the file that failed to flash. So I need you to quote the flashing failed error completely to resolve the issue
I'm using a Mac so I've been doing everything through terminal instead of using RSD. Perhaps I should find a Windows computer somewhere and do a restore from it? My phone works fine, it's just every time I turn it on it opens into fastboot but has the "Flash Failure" message across the top, and no S-off despite my phone being successfully rooted.

I posted a thread a few days ago about not being able to power off or restart my Samsung Galaxy s2 skyrocket on ATT. I am using SKy's ICS rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602216 with the newest update and I still cannot turn it off. The response I got was to use the Darkside Wipe, I tried that, loaded the base rom, then rebooted (it rebooted on its own) flashed the update, and now im back to it not being able to turn off.... I have searched every where and everyone says the issue is resolved, but its not working. Please point me in the right direction to fix this issue.

Ive lived without if i need to reboot then hold power till it reboots and if i need recovery then do the same but press volume buttons right as it shuts down

Thank you! Did't want to have to pull the battery anytime I needed to restart my phone. Holding the power button in for 10-15 seconds even when its froze forces it to restart. At least now I can put my case back on it....
I was wondering if anyone knew a way to stop it from freezing up? Or at least know whats causing it?
I had this problem too with the Ics roms. If you use the touch recovery to wipe factory data reset it should work. I used to one recommended in the sky Ics thread and had no problems after that.

Do you have a link to it? I have been looking for options and I must be missing it.
I did do the Dark Side complete wipe, and after it worked, it stopped working when I applied the update.

Just factory wipe, wipe cache, dalvik in whatever cwm you have
Ill try that again, and redownload the patch and see if that fixes it. Is there anyway to get an error log to see whats FCing or crashing?

Anyone one else experiencing a stall when rebooting using SKy ICS 4,2F-4.5A?
If I reboot either from CWM or from using the drop down or the power button, the phone hangs up with a black screen and all the LED buttons lit up? Then I have to hold the power button down to do a hard reboot.
I have reflashed numerous times and have come through numerous updates and this one issue persists.
Anyone?

No problem here. You have installed busy box, fixed permissions, and the usual stuff?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
I got the exact same issue, busy box installed, permissions fixed. Tried flashing everything again didn't solve it, kernel etc.
The only thing I didn't try is radio, are you using rogers radio as well?
Also it happens if I just try shut down the phone.
Try doing a backup in cwm, then just immediately restore that backup... often fixes that problem for me on sky ics.

I got it resolved but only by fluke. Flashed 4.2-5b as well as the CYMBALINE kernel (an attempt to resolve bluetooth connection issues) and now everything boots fine.
Thanks
I flashed the kernel without it being solved. I did the backup+restore and I think it seems to have fixed it, I'll do some more checking tomorrow kinda late here but thanks!
Btw after you flashed 4.5a you didn't need to flash b
Had the same problem after doing a fresh 4.2 R2 base install. I let the phone fully cache (5 mins or so) and I tried rebooting to CWM to flash the 5A update and the phone hung on shutdown and my cap lights stayed lit up. I realized I forgot to install busybox after 1st boot-up per the OP instructions. So I held power button for 10secs, rebooted, installed busybox and it rebooted fine into CWM to flash update. Weird, never seen that before.

Running Rogers ICS stock here rooted and busybox first, then flashed the modded UXCLF3 Kernel, hangs on the Rogers animation and the touch keys stay on whenever I try to shut down or reboot the phone, have to pull the battery all the time, trying the Backup + Restore route now, hope it works otherwise I'll have a brick and a phone that won't turn off

It worked for me, worst case you can hold the power key for 10s to turn it off.
The issue me and I think also the other guy had was black screen and touch key lights.

This has been answered in the dev thread. Here is the solution . You need to flash it with cwm touch. I have no idea why but with cwm the older cwm you get hung up rebooting or shutting down. It will also hang when fixing permissions. I have also read that twrp was working also.
Cwm touch can be found here half way down the thread.

I had it and I'm using cwm touch 5.8.1.3 .
if all else fails check the md5 checksums of all downlads, or redownload and check its md5, use touch cwm or as sean is using it now twrp recovery, and read my sig

I went from 4.5a update (fresh base install) to 5b update.
I've been having a bit of a hard time with a friend's Skyrocket tonight. I flashed CM9 for her before, and it seems to work well. In the past two to three weeks, though, she tells me that her phone's been randomly turning off. Tonight, I finally decided to install CM10 on the Skyrocket, thinking that this would fix the issue. I installed it through CWM like normal (I've flashed many a ROM, so I couldn't have messed up this process).
With everything installed, I reboot through CWM. The issue is, the phone just goes black. After pulling the battery and trying to boot again, I see the Samsung logo, followed by a black screen. The phone sort of pulsates for a bit at this point, giving me a short vibration here and there, before finally stopping. Attempting to get into recovery doesn't work either. I also, due to me not being used to the download mode feature (I personally have a Galaxy Nexus), accidentally tried to start it by holding the power and volume buttons (rather than holding volume and plugging the phone in, not touching power). The yellow triangle would show up very briefly, and then the phone shuts off.
When getting into download mode the proper way, I was able to get into Odin and flash CWM again. At this point, I should definitely be able to get into Recovery. But alas, I cannot... Same issues as before. At this point, it's revealed to me that, after the random shutoffs that my friend had been experiencing, she would sometimes also have trouble turning the phone back on. Noticing a trend?
I'd like to know what you guys think: Is this a software issue, or is it a hardware issue? For the former, what do you guys recommend so the phone could boot normally again? And for the latter, well... I don't suppose there are any easy hardware fixes I could try?
If you pull the battery and reinsert does the phone start on its own with no button pushes? If so... Stuck power button.

Nope, not at all. I need to press the power button for it to start.
It'd flash back to stock with Odin and then go from there.

I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't try flashing to stock because I figured it would work, but somehow, it did. I still feel that there's something wrong with the power button, and I'll be doing some more testing, but for now, everything's okay. Thanks for your help.
I bet you can reflash cm10 and it'll work fine. Just do a factory reset and the wipes and you'll be fine.

Wipe ALL the things, then Odin back to stock and reinstall. I'd bet that solves it

ok...so i screwed up and loaded the wrong ROM. downloaded the wrong ROM and loaded a ROM meant for 4.2.1 pn my tab that is still on 4.1.1.
So the tablet wont load of course. I tried to go back to TWRP so I can load a different ROM and get back to a ROM that I can use
my problem is now my touch screen is not responding. I have had this issue on the clean ROM and a simple reboot and letting it settle when powered back on would fix this. That it just letting it sit for a while and turning the screen off and on would do it too.
I can get to the twrp screen but cannot press anything. Maybe I am missing it or can't find it but is there a way to go back to stock and start over?

Try resetting via the small reset hole, that might fix it.
If not, there is a thread that describes in detail, how to unbrick using fastboot.
Hope those instructions will help.

It is on the same side as the volume button, more or less opposite to it.
Check the diagram in user manual, if in doubt, should be labelled reset.
You can use a paperclip to go in, but don't press too hard.
