Accidently updated my atrix 2 to 2.3.6. I then severely wanted root so I tried to flash back. I kept trying to install rsd lite but kept getting error 2738 when it was almost done installing. I googled for fastboot tools and found one on this forum. When i tried to flash an img, it apparently did not work even though I choose this fastboot tool because it said it was for atrix 2 and had atrix 2 img's with it. Now, my phone is stuck in fastboot mode and my computer can't recognize it.Any tips or help are greatly appreciated.
Did you take out the battery and see if it will reboot?

a lot of times, I did. Jim is doing his best to help me via pm but I have stumbled onto a small yet major issue. EDIT I have fixed this issue and found another. I have rsd lite working on my old, crappy laptop. However the usb port isn't giving my phone enough power to even turn on.It only turns on when charging through the wall.
Atrix 2 stuck in fastboot mode
I update my atrix 2 to 2.3.6. OTA when it was released. I then update my phone to Supercharged V5 update 2. I hated that my phone could not run most games other phones with similar specs can run. I decided to install the drivers for chainfire 3d, the phone then rebooted past the red moto logo onto a blank screen. Ever since that happened i've only been able to boot into fastboot mode. I tried using the modified .xml file, and replacing the boot.img, cdt, device_tree etc. I don't know what else to do, this happened yesterday. This is also a warning to be careful with chainfire3d after update to 2.3.6. I used it before on 2.3.5 and i had no problem with it.
Stuck at Moto Screen and all it says is (STARTING RSD MODE 3)
what exactly does this mean ?
have i bricked this device?
is there ANYWAY at i can do to fix it ?
also would my warranty from Motorolla cover this kinda of fix just bought it in November ?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP !
It would depend on how you got there--what did you do to end up stuck at RSD Mode 3?
Also are you stock, rooted? which OS? Need more info.
Well I am rooted and unlocked running and ICS ROM .
And so I went to CWM to restore a previous back up and it Mds M5 mismatch do selected a different back up and it was attempting it but stuck at checking m5 sums or something. So I held power and it said error imteruppted so I reboot it with power and vole and to this point where I can't get into recovery or anything !
Actually it was the same Tom which you have in your sig there
Once I got into that mode and I was sweating bullets...I just kept trying to manually reboot into recovery by trying different buttons combinations and eventually got "entering fastboot protocol" and I had to flash back the stock images from the Motodev site. You may be able to get into "android recovery" and volume up to choose it and get back into CWM, where you could flash a rom from your external sd card.
Anyway, you are not actually bricked if you have any recovery options. Do a search on RSD 3 Mode and see how others recovered.
ok after HOURS of searching i havent came accross anything that helpful to me fixing this problem . can anyone help at all ? or any great ideas

OMG...Google is your friend. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036476
And there are many more.
I've had that before, popped the back off and disco'd the battery then started in fastboot mode, I then have a batch file that stocks the device.
Hi everyone. I have been looking everywhere i can and i cannot find any existing threads explaining how to fix this.
First off I am a little bit of a noob when it comes to rooting. I rooted my phone using a one-click method yesterday and was flashing roms fine. I couldnt find anything i liked last night so i restored the backup i made. This morning i was going to flash CM9. My phone was fine this morning. I turned off my phone and went into fastboot mode. When i went to recovery it came right back into fastboot mode saying "no boot or recovery image". No matter how i turn the phone on it goes to fastboot mode. Also, i can't seem to get my computer to recognize my phone no matter what i try. I have pulled the battery and left it out for 30 minutes and still nothing.
What am i missing.
Thank you in advance for any help.
I had a similar situation, don't get stressed, basically u'll have to force the phone into recovery, delete all the files in regards to android on ur pc, restart it, same for the phone, I don't exactly remember where it is but I think is around here on the forums at XDA that explain how to force the Nexus to be recognized by Windows again, or ;look it up on Google, lessons learned!!!
Also check the posts about Nexus being stuck on Boot and similar.

Since your in fast boot try to go to recovery. From recovery try to delete data and cache. Then try to reflash your rom. Chances are if it will not work. Maybe the file you downloaded is corrupted and u need to download it again.
PS don't forget to do a nand backup before flashing any rom or update.

When I had to flash my phone using RSD Lite, I spent two problems while trying to flash. Must be verified that no program is running in the background (in my case I did not realize that the MotoCast is running) and the other was that before the middle of the process is stopped, and it was because the phone was updated to 2.3 .6, so I had to edit the FXZ. Read this guide was very useful to me. I hope help you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650.

What firmware was your phone originally running?
And does your phone have a fair amount of battery life?
stock 2.3.6 and battery is at 100
then i flashed victory rom and then does the same thing as before boots up to fastboot screen everytime!
Used another computer (another window 7) and got it working!!!!!!!
Back to fully stock 2.3.6 with everything working!
Tip
I noticed when i started opening rsdlite the firewall said it was trying to block some files called sdl.... and i went and turn off firewall and everything went thru!
So i don't know if it was me turning firewall or using another computer, but i got everything working!
My guess would be the firewall. never had a problem installing or using any programs before(odin similar to rsdlite)

Facing the same problem as you were
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....

Where is your A2 from? If it is an Indian A2 then you will need to flash the Indian fastboot files.
No it's not an Indian A2
It is an AT&T Atrix 2
I'm stumped with this issue of my Motorola Razr HD LTE XT925 Rogers version 4.1.2 being in a boot loop. It started when I did a factory reset to try and fix some camera issues that I was having it started up with the Motorola red M icon then went to proceed with the factory reset with the android icon with the spinning blue object then restarts and just does a loop I have tried some steps that I found that I will list but all are unsuccessful and I did try them several times. It is stock firmware but was rooted with one click rooting program can't remember the name I did nothing else to the firmware.
Power + volume down for 10 seconds (simulates a battery pull)
Stock recovery tried wiping data and cache and then rebooting
Tried to use the boot menu normal start up and factory options
I did however get it to boot to the Rogers logo screen once but it just froze and had to restart it
I am currently trying get ADB tool to installed and get it working to see my phone as well as RDS Lite 6.1.6 it wont show any info about the phone but when in fastboot mode RDS Lite see it as connected in fastboot but no info about the phone shows up in the top left box as it has shown before also tried Super ADB Tool it show nothing at all I will continue to try and get the tools working.
Any help in getting the phone to boot normally is greatly appreciated.
I was also wondering if any body knows a good way to completely wipe the razr XT925 and restore the stock firmware that would also help.
OK so I have ADB installed and working I think put my XT925 in fast boot mode then I put in code adb devices in to the windows command console but show nothing listed and my phone says it is in fastboot mode and usb is connected and windows sees it as well but not ADB. There is no errors ether I am so confused as to why ADB and RSD show no info about my phone? I will see if its any of my drivers that are missing.
I went ahead and tried to flash my phone with RSD lite 6.1.6 with no luck the boot loop is preventing it from proceeding with the flash is this just a lost cause and there is no fix for it. The only thing I can think of is that I have to unlock the boot loader is that even an option when I can't even get boot into android? Any one got any ideas?
I was messing a round with my phone and try to get it working with any of the tools and had turned of the phone to stop it from constantly showing the red M icon and the android icon with the blue spinning object over and over but still had the phone plugged in to the computer and was looking in device manger in windows and seen this QHUSB_DLOAD with no drivers for it and looked at the VID & PID ids (USB\VID_05C6&PID_9008
) and searched for drivers thinking that is what is missing for my phone as I have never see it before and it is Qualcomm modem flashing port I don't know what to do did really mess up my phone by just doing a factory restore?
Some help or clarification would help a lot now as it is a bit troubling that I am unable to fix the Motorola Razr XT925 and might be bricked just by doing a factory restore. :silly:
OK I am getting desperate here I will do anything to stop it from looping I have even tried house of motos way just the same thing still if I can stop it from looping I can get it to work but does anyone knows a way to wipe the phone completely or stop it from this infuriating loop???
Just as a side note I found that forcing it in to normal start up with the wall charger plugged in it will charge when done then it will show the rogers logo like its booting but does nothing.
I have searched the forms and google now for 2 days about any way to fix the boot loop but all just say to do things that I have tried many different ways many times and the tools don't work or will work like RDS but it is unable to continue do to the loop of it doing a factory restore then restarts.
If any body has any ideas at all or can at least point me in the right direction would be a life saver I will even jtag the phone if i have to, if even that's possible

Thanks for the reply, I have gone into fastboot mode and used RSD to try and flash the stock rom but when it restarts the phone its unable to countiue becuse it is uable to get past the bootloop
If your phone is bootloader locked you can always take it back to the carrier, that's it if you have guarantee. I suggest you try a earlier version of RSD lite, 6.1.4 for example, and see how it goes.

OK, not able to take it to Rogers some issues with doing that but will try RSD lite 6.1.4 besides that no other ways?
I had the same issue yesterday. Received a phone call and my phone shut off and started looping on the red M logo, but no further. I did everything in my power to get RSD Lite and ADB to recognize my phone in fastboot mode. Nothing. Then, I moved the USB port to another port on my laptop, and viola, RSD Lite picked it up, but ADB never did. Using the stock firmware available for my 926, I was able to revert back to the latest version of JB for my phone. I did also have to run RSD Lite in *administrator mode* in order to get success. Hope any of these tips helps you out.
Also, even though I was successful in flashing, I was still in loop mode until... I had to wait for the battery to die and the phone to shut all the way off. Then after powering up, it came up. I tried the volume down + power key, but it would only reset the phone, it would not completely power it off like it needed. This is not something I have seen on any forum anywhere, so hopefully it helps.

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking along the same lines as that but trying it on a freshly installed windows plus on different computer and just have RSD lite 6.0 and my Motorola drivers for my phone installed. I was thinking that it was my current motherboard that has a Intel usb 3.0 controller on it and my old motherboard did not as I manually updated my phone from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 before on my old motherboard and had no issues and will fallow the instructions to the letter and will triple check as well. I will see how this goes and hope it works as its my last option to get it working.
OK so trying to reflash the phone from a different computer with a fresh install of windows buy did not work.
I was looking though the options in the android system recovery menu and two options stood out are:
apply update from external storage
and
apply update from ADB (wont work as ADB does not see the phone)
would doing an update with an SD card with the firmware on it work or is it for some other purpose?

I'm not sure, never flashed that way. If it isn't too much to ask, can you tell me the process you are following to flash the stock rom step by step?, to see if I can somehow help you out, it's really odd It doesn't work.

Thanks for the reply, The steps I take to flash my phone is to first put my phone in to fast boot mode then connect my phone to the back of my pc then start up RSD Lite and add the latest firmware for my XT925 in RSD then let it load the firmware and it restarts the phone. it starts up to the non animated red M icon then the android with the spinning blue object in its chest comes up but then shuts off and restarts and have left it for several hours until it died and had to recharge it up.If I can I will post a video of how I flash it and what the phone does.
also is it normal for RSD Lite not to show the imei number of the phone or any thing about it in the top left box (Device properties) when you click on the modal?, all I get is N/A in Device properties box.
Yes, that is completely normal, that only appears when the flash is succesful and you get past the "select language" screen, but seeing that you're stuck in the M logo means that you haven't got there yet, in the mean time it will still appear no imei and no info.

The RSD process following the exact same instructions found there on a Windows with USB 2.0, and it is preferred you use RSD 6.1.4 (if you don't have it I can post it here if you want)
Your build to flash is found here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/
Search for the one the phone brought when it was just bought, it has to be from your carrier.
Btw: did the flashing gives you any errors at all or not? Also, do you have bootloader unlocked? Just some details I'm curious, but seeing your phone does finish the process and restarts means it probably doesn't get any errors, anyway I'm just curious.

thanks for the reply, I have just tried the the steps in the link you provided and I used RSD lite 6.1.4 and got the 4.0.4 Rogers firmware for my XT925 that it originally came with and waited an hour but just did the same thing, I don't get any errors when flashing although RSD displays to start the phone up manually and I have a locked boot loader (Device is LOCKED: Status Code: 0) I can how ever get it to go to the animated red M icon and then the rogers logo by selecting normal power up from the boot menu but doesn't boot in to android.

Ok, so I think I maybe doing something incorrectly so I will put all the steps I did to reflash my phone and will add some pics and a video if possible.It took me a few days to get another phone to use for vids and pics the phone I used to for video and pics Samsung Captivate, unbrickable ya can't kill it.
1. I have installed RSD Lite 6.1.4
2. Installed the latest Motorola drivers by down loading the Motorola Device Manager
3. Down loaded the firmware for my phone android 4.1.2 full file name ---> 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQL-12.2_CANADA_VANQJBLTEFRCI_P004_CFC_fb.xml.zip
4. Put my phone in fast boot mode then connected my phone to my netbook on the side or on the back usb 2.0 port on the PC with the original Motorola usb phone cable tried both to be sure
5. Started up RSD Lite 6.1.4 and load the firmware and selected Decompress only
6. Checked RSD Lite to make sure my phone is connected and showing up and RSD Lite shows (Fastboot VQUISH_U S USB N/A Connected)
7. I then selected start button on RSD Lite and it flashed the firmware with out issues or errors
8. phone restarts fine from fastboot left it for 1:30 RSD displays to reboot the phone manually but the phone does not do anything else but reboot constantly left the phone doing that until it ran out of battery
