Cannot Boot after ICS to GB - Stuck at Logo / Fastboot - Motorola Atrix 2

I want to go back to GB because I was having issues with ICS. I used the correct script to go back. BUT... This is what I got, and now I cannot get past the "M" Logo. I can get into fastboot but nothing more..

PLEASE try and search your problem first before making a new thread about it. This problem has been discussed in the thread for the return to GB utility, as well as in other threads.
Try running the script again. If it still doesn't work after maybe 4 or 5 tries then go ahead and use RSD Lite to flash the .xml file located in the script's folder. You can find more information if you search.

I did search, I was probably looking at my answers and just didnt know it. Im still on a learning curve. Ive rooted and ROM'd multiple times but this is my 1st issue like this so I am really clueless....... I dont know what the RSD Lite is (never even heard of it) or how it works. But thanks I guess.:good:
And I have tried more than 10 times with the script...

RSDLite is a must have with this phone. It's a program that will help you flash stock images (FXZs) when all else doesn't seem to want to cooperate. Download it, and use it when scripts give you trouble. I used to FXZ back to stock via a script, then one day it said "nope, not doing it agsin". RSDLite worked like a charm.

I just got RSDlite. Which file am I looking for now? An image? I dont know.. lol

You are looking for the xml located inside the zip file. Please just search mate, I've seen the answer to this question in three different threads. Read the thread for the utility script.

You'll need to locate the FXZ to get back to 2.3.6 but there's a patch file that you'll need to also download and extract and place in the 2.3.6 FXZ folder (it'll ask if you want to make these changes when doing this on your PC, and you will have to) then open RDSLite, connect your phone with your USB cable, and go! I'll try to find the links to the files.

Off topic, and my bad for that. But I have to say, much as I get annoyed too by the constant posting of questions already answered, many times those of us who are new to something won't even know WHAT to search for. Many times I've searched with terms I thought ought to get me my answer, with no result. If I had never heard of things like fxz and RSDlite, I'd have no idea to use such terms in a search.
That said, I feel like the thread about the IRC Chat ought to be stickied. This sort of question is much more appropriate and welcomed there than on a post on the main page. And many thanks to Apex Strider for doing the legwork .

Do you want the fastboot files for ics (official AT&T US)?
well its all (or almost all) here!!!
Note: This is the minimal standard that is just missing the system.img and the junk apps in the preinstall partition, we should get it with the %100 OEM official .
Also: I'm not responsible if this brick's your Atrix 2!!!
And finally, the download link:
Minimal
Minimal Standard

PS: Don't flash your own system.img this WILL SOFT BRICK YOUR DEVICE.

Thanks, but it is incomplete so don't totally rely on it.
So what happens if you bork your system image? Have you tested that yet?
I do see you are looking for a system image, but I am curious how this can save you from a boot loop without that.
Nice start though.

You can grab it off the phone and use the ext4utils to package it up, there are few guides on how to do it for the og atrix, and you can figure the rest out from there.... that is similar to how I have done it.
Don't we have to worry about the certs on those missing img files? From my understanding, you can't just dd/cat those images and flash on anyone's phone.. and from some of our previous tests with mtnlion.. we've tried that.
Or, would everyone have to make their own images? Found this in a post by whirleyes (not sure how much weight it holds, but similar idea):
whirleyes said:
Next time you got it back from service, do
Code:
cat /dev/block/system > /mnt/sdcard/system.img
& put it somewhere safe.
It seems that you can restore own system partition backup from fastboot.
Condition :
bootloader won't check security certificate when restored from own backup
you must used moto-fastboot.exe & not fasboot.exe

Yes that works with moto-fastboot since it does not check during flashing. Now booting those is another issue. The boot image is the one to really worry about. System image and others not so much, even the recovery image is not signed.

Right, but whirleye's was saying the certs aren't checked only if you flash your own system.img on your own phone.. or that's what i took away from it. Plus, we flashed the ICS system and boot from your phone on mtnlion's, and he came out with new CG errors.. still stuck in fastboot.
I guess this is a good place to elaborate on all of this.. if it's not considered hijacking.
@tcf38012 - has this been tested?

Right, that is why I was saying that flashing is easy, but booting is much harder with the locked bootloader checking the signature before booting, hence the cg errors from MY image on someone else's phone.

It is the partial fastboot files for ATT US 4.0.4. Nothing like a bootloader unlock or jellybean. When you are softbricked, just use these in AP fastboot and you are back to normal
Cheers!!!
I do not understand exactly how this works, please be more explicit.
Well let me know if this would work for me, my problem was that upgrading from GB to ICS 2.3.6 Official OTA, everything worked well and use the computer all day, until it froze and reboot and get stuck in the Motorola logo and back and restarted.

This may help you since it sounds like you are softbricked. At this point you have nothing to lose and the boot.img is already there on your phone. Give it a shot and if it doesn't work you may be able to take it to AT&T since it was the official OTA that bricked ya. Good luck!!!
Ok friend, another question, as I use the files that I download, Minimal, Minimal Standard? also you do with South Africa FXZ file?

Minimal Standard. All you need from the South Africa FXZ is the system.img and flash with "moto-fastboot flash system system.img". Don't flash anything else from the South Africa FXZ.
Cheers!!!
Ok to get this straight, first put the phone in Fastboot bike, then unzip the file 4.0.4_67.21.125_edison_fxz_minimal_standard, run the file and then run flash.bat "moto-fastboot flash system system.img" with the system.img? That is so true?
if this is so I could include the system.img file in the same folder and add the file. bat line "moto-fastboot flash system system.img"?

[Q] Possible softbrick... PLEASE HELP!!!

I was running just the stock ICS on an AT&T Atrix 2. I went into Root explorer, and in System/bin i deleted both logwrapper files and the safestrap file as directed by bootmanager, then i rebooted. Well, now I get past the dual core technology screen, to the AT&T "rethink possible" logo, then nothing, no reboots, nothing. I tried wiping cache and data from stock recovery but still nothing... someone please help as this is my only phone.
My computer DOES recognize the device also. can anyone point me in the right direction to restoring my device to complete stock??

I would think as long as he was on ICS leak #1 for AT&T, then using this should fix it. Whether it be by the script or RSD.
That is if he can still get into AP fastboot with sufficient enough battery to go through the process.
HOWEVER, I'm not 100% sure on whether or not the logwrapper file will be replaced. But its worth trying.

[Q] Bootloop after flashing 5.0, 4.4.4 an 4.4.2

Hi,
I got a notification today that the 5.0 OTA update is available for my Nexus 5. I tried doing the update and Clockwork Mod complained and the update didn't work. I decided to try doing a manual install. I downloaded the 5.0 stock image, adb executable and fastboot executable. I ran flash-all.sh script included with the stock image. It seemed the ROM installed fine but I was stuck on the boot animation for over an hour. I decided this was too long and tried flashing 4.4.4 with the same problem (downloaded the 4.4.4 stock image and ran it's flash-all.sh script), boot animation kept going.
I tried installing a TeamWin as a recovery because some googling told me that the Dalvik Cache may not have been wiped correctly. I tried wiping Dalvik (and everything else) but they all errored out. I completely formatted everything (had the type "yes" for TeamWin to let me). Once again I tried installing 5.0 and had the same problem.
I did some more googling and some people suggested using ClockworkMod. I flashed ClockworkMod, wiped everything (user data, cache and dalvik) and am now stuck on the boot animation of 4.4.2. I'm running out of ideas and I hope someone else knows what's going on.
Every time that I tried running the flash-all.sh script of any of the stock images I get output very similar to the following:

Did you try turning it on and off again?
Quit using custom recoverys and root, in fact, dont even try to root after you install Lollipop. If you are in Fastboot mode/bootloader and it isnt working then you should verify the integrity of the file and try a better USB cable that is dedicated for file transfer, not the cheap stock one. I flashed mine in 2 mintues no problem 5 mintues to load
EDIT: You also have to update your fastboot drivers and adb, there is a new one
Well...I fixed it. I can't say for sure but I think I may have had a bad fastboot executable. I followed this guide and installing 4.4.2 worked perfectly.
Try extracting the .img files and use fastboot to flash them manually. It installed fine for me without errors.

Soft brick help!!

I've had my nexus 5 for awhile now and decided that I should try to root it. So I followed a guide and youtube and it worked. I then followed a guide to install the android M developer preview, just to check out what had changed. From there I decided to install Cyanogenmod 12.1 . So I was looking at this guide when all of a sudden i noticed my root was gone for some reason. (im new to all this, not sure if that was supposed to happen). So then I followed the same rooting steps I used for the first youtube guide I watched. everything seemed to go fine until i realized that i was in a boot loop. I then decided to go ahead and install Cyanogenmod 12.1 anyway. It worked and my phone was fine. Until i woke up this morning and saw that it was in a boot loop again, but now I can't even get into my custom recovery (TWRP). I dowloaded this program to completely return my phone to stock but every time it tries to flash something to my phone, it gets this "flash write failure" message. Now I'm really lost and do not know what to do. I really rather not buy a new phone.
If anyone can help it would be really appreciated!!! If you do, I will need you to assume I do not know anything, as I'm not very familiar with everything.
Can you get into fastboot mode? If so from there flash the factory images.

This is what happens when I tried to flash it.. After trying to turn my phone back on, it tries to load up with the cyanogenmod logo still there.

Got Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro (wife and me) on launch day. Both of us coming from 4 and 4 XL. Crazy how far things have come and continue to go. Love this community, and I'm sure I'm gonna love this tool too. Thanks OP!!
Great to see GUI Tool! Kudos
As soon as BB has my P7P in stock, I will then be taking this for a spin!! Thanks for making it compatible with P7P!!
Used the pre-release version without any issues. Thank you so much for this amazing tool! Let me know if you want to see any logs or anything of the process. This was also the first time I used the tool to have it actually wipe data and that worked as well, and I appreciate the double checking before the data is wiped. Good to know if you accidentally have it on wipe all data that it will prompt you before you make a mistake.

Thanks for the feedback, no need for files considering that it worked fine.
It helps to get the confirmation as I don't have a Pixel 7 / 7P device.
I managed to kill my Pixel. I went with the keep data option. Everything was good until it got to this

This sounds like a flaky communication problem.
1- Support.zip file from PF's help menu greatly helps
2- Make sure you are only using SDK 33.0.3 anything older will not work
3- Make sure your connection to the PC is solid, and the fatsboot drivers are good
4- USB 2 connections are more reliable
When you scan for devices in PF, does it detect the phone? in any mode?
if yes, what mode is that?
I'm going to step out for a little while, but don't worry, your phone is not dead, it can be revived and I'll do my best to support you along the way when I'm back.

1. do you want me to post it here or PM to you?
2. I downloaded 33.0.3 before starting
3. drivers are good
4. I tried usb 2 connection but doesn't do anything. If i use the usb c cable that it came with it shows up as port com3
I tried scanning with PF and it doesn't detect the device at, I used both usb c and usb 2 cable.
If you can help great, if not I can always do RMA since i just got device. Thank you in advance
If you can help great, if not I can start RMA process. Thank you

Yes, the pixel no longer shows up. it also stopped booting, it's just dark.
Doing some searching i think its stuck in EDL mode and there's no recovery i have to return it or exchange it.

God is that still a thing?!?!?!
LOL, I remember when I first started rooting on my Pixel 2 XL, SOOOO many people were having issues using the USB-C connection, but once they used the legacy USB-A, things would suddenly work!
USB-C connections on a computer/laptop were still rather new-ish, so I figured that was the reason. I can't believe how many years later that this advice would still be relevant!
I started RMA I’ll try this again in a few weeks when I get new one.

Sorry to hear that you have to go through RMA, the logs help in trying to see if there are any hints on what might have happened, they are sanitized, ie any sensitive information is redacted, so you can safely post it here.
Have you tried Google's Android flash tool, I know if the phone isn't detected it can't help, but maybe they can detect EDL mode.

Thanks,
It's interesting that you started with slot a, ran into the problem writing product 11/11
I'm assuming that the phone could no longer boot to slot a,
Because the next thing I see is the phone in bootloader mode with slot b being active, not sure why it would be in bootloader mode as slot b should have been intact, nothing was written to slot b yet.
I wonder if out of factory phones have both slots the same image.
Then you trying flashing again, again the exact same step of flashing product 11/11 it failed.
However unlike the first time, the phone was placed in bootloader mode on slot b.
I wonder if you were manually putting the phone into bootloader mode or it was eventually ending up in that state?
You tried yet another time, again on slot b, and again it failed on the exact same step.
After that we have no data, I suppose at that point you couldn't even put the phone in bootloader mode.
When you get your new device, I would strongly suggest that you inspect the USB cable, and also make sure the USB port is connected to the PC without a hub or anything, and preferably USB 2.
I know at this day and age it sounds silly, but the signs are failure in communication, or hardware problem.
If you search Google for similar problems, you'd find lots of cases where most of those are related to either the drivers, the cable or the USB port, here's one as an example.
Let us know how your phone goes, and best wishes.
New Release:
Oct 15, 2022 v4.3.0 release
New: You can now download and install alpha and delta Magisk versions in addition to the official stable, beta, canary and debug versions.
Bug fix: Generating support.zip file was modifying the main db file unnecessarily.
Bug fix: When patching with Magisk Manager the version of Magisk Manager was not being displayed in the boot images table.
Bug fix: MacOS downloaded Magisk had space in the file path, which was causing failed installation.
