[Q] Atrix 2 Stuck on Dual Core Technology Rooted - Motorola Atrix 2

Hey guys I didn't find any useful posts for this device with the same problem.So I started a new thread. Well I was googling and texting and all of a sudden my phone reboots. I thought well it's nothing and put my phone down, 15 minutes later I was hoping for it to be on and ready to be used and all I saw was Dual Core Technology. I rebooted it countless times to see if it'll come alive and no luck. I did root the phone awhile back and never had any problems with it until now.
I did try to go to recovery and all it shows is the android with an exclamation mark. I can get into fast boot and everything but I am a noob with fast boot so I don't exactly know how to wipe the phone by using that.
So I am counting on you guys to help me out. I don't even know if my phone is charging atm I just have it plugged into my power port and all it shows is Dual Core Technology and the battery is dead for letting it sit on that screen for about 30 minutes. I hope you guys can help.
Thanks,
Mike

Have you tried to fxz back to stock using RSD Lite? If not make sure your battery is charged before doing so. That should do the trick. If you have a back up try the recovery. When the Android with the exclamation comes up hit both the up and down volume keys at the same time.

Couple things we need to know mate. What firmware are you running? 2.3.5? 2.3.6? Or ICS?
These all play into how you are going fix your phone. And frankly your stock recovery is not going to do you any good with this issue. You WILL have to FXZ back, UNLESS you have a backup made in a different recovery system, IE: bootstrap, or bootmenu. Once again all dependent on what firmware you are on. If you can answer those questions, we can help you with the right procedure.
A good thread to start with is this one: Noobs guide to Android and the Atrix 2
It will give you all the info you need on the FXZ and fastboot.
More info and we can fix ya! :highfive:
EDIT: just saw your battery issue. Pull your battery until you are ready to flash in Fasboot. You need to conserve. How much battery do you think you have? Or is it dead? Flashing in FB and having your phone die due to low battery is a SURE way to hard brick your A2.

Oh and do you guys know what exactly caused this to happen?
Mike

It could've been caused by a number of things. The A2 is an unpredictable phone. Somethings that happen to one person may not happen to others. From my experience.
Did you make any changes to any system files or anything of the such? I see you was rooted, but did you have a custom ROM or custom recovery? I'm assuming since you tried to get to recovery and got the android on its back, that that you didn't have a custom recovery installed..
If someone knows the exact reason this happened, let us know. This is twice I've come across someone with this problem.
FXZ should work for sure though. All is well.

No I don't think I modified anything except rooting and installing cheesecake but I didn't use it. I don't remember having a recovery installed either.
What I did was use android recovery by pushing vol up and down and I reset it. Works fine now I lost root though so I'm going to reinstall it and reset my server on cheesecake because I can't add a motoblur account right now then uninstall it again Lol.
I really appreciate the help. I almost hate the A2. 2 phones 2 unique problems, like you said some people experience a issue that no one else has.

Hard brick?

I successfully flashed to att ICS using Jim's method. Then I decided to roll back to 2.3.6 and used Jim's ICS back to 2.3.5 fxz fix zip file. The RSD stopped at 5/19 reboot bootloader for a long time and the screen was off. I hit the power button trying to turn on the screen without thinking. Then I realized that I was flashing! It was too late and I saw FAILED on RSD. My A2 cant turn on anymore. I did not unplug or pull the battery. Any help would be appreciate!

DId you replace ALL of the files and then point the RSD to the xml?
Can you boot into fastboot by holding power button and vol down.If can you just reflash it using rsd lite.Tell me more detail about your atrix 2 current rom and which version of rom you are flash with rsdlite.

Exact same problem has occurred to me as well.
I did replaced the files Jim created to FXZ back to 2.3.6 from ICS
My Battery was fully charged at the time of flashing. Flashing stopped at 5/19 reboot bootloader for 15 mins then tried rebooting it manually but it didn't started.
Now I've tried everything but it is not even starting in Fastboot
Please help me with this, I don't want to start any new thread so posted my problem here.
EDIT: I think this is a common problem as the OP here also have the same problem

I only flashed ICS when Jim confirmed that it was possible to revert back to 2..3.5
I think there is a problem in reverting back to 2.3.5 once applied ICS update and people should be aware of that.
Everyone should stop flashing ICS leaks otherwise they might end up bricking their phone forever.
100% same to me.
Up to ICS ok, back to Fxz with RSD and stuck at 5/19 reboot-bootloader step, I disconnected cable and phone black forever.
A lot of people they failed when flash with RSD but no problem, just take battery out and return, boot again to fastboot to re-flash. I think wrong file in Fxz not makes this problem, main cause I still don't know ! Maybe we are unlucky man ?
FXZ is not wrong one as I did used it when I had to flash back to stock from lithium Rom last week. I think phone is dead because it is not even booting into fastboot.. I've tried even booting to our stock recovery by pressing 3 buttons but no luck so far.
Its just very bad few hours back I was running ICS and now my phone is not even booting up.
OMG man!! I should have make a thread about this yesterday, but maybe nobody would of paid attention. I didn't really want this to happen to anyone, when flashing from 4.0.4 back to 2.3.5 it will get stuck at 5/20, something like that saying "rebooting loader". Now my phone with a blackscreen is getting hot when I insert the battery and when I plug it without a battery into my laptop or wallcharger and I dont have warranty. I call it white LED of death, when I plug it in to my laptop without a battery hehe , so I guess i'll be paying maybe 200$ dollar for it to be repaired, well if they repair it though, they charge so much here.. But i'm still trying to look what I can do, before I take it to a repair shop.
I heard about this problem when leak ICS for China/HK market 1 month ago, from xda man, and Jim he warned everybody here take care when coming back GB from ICS leak should make your phone bricked.
Now ATT ICS leak was released and all trusted Devs here confirmed that we can turn back to GB without problem, so I thought that it was safe to do with. Next day Jim posted new thread with new patch file. So sad ... I'm too late, we're too late ...

So this is the point that I'm very confused, I think that even failed flashing phone still powered on normally : wrong boot.img --> just jamed at boot logo, wrong bootloader --> screen turn on and shows errors; need to be flashed again by RSD or script. Some man here even not flashed anything, just root then reboot and phone dead without any reason.

I just talked to a Motorola service person he was saying in some rare cases a inbuilt ROM(read only memory) chip which stores bootloader files gets corrupted and in that case it might not even be possible to boot into fastboot.
I don't know how far he is right but one ting we are sure that our hardware was perfectly ok before flashing FXZ.
For me I even made sure that my battery was fully charged before starting FXZ.

yes its getting heated when connected to a wall socket or on a battery.
Did anyone upgrade RSDlite to 5.7 before trying this by any chace?
That might be an issue.
Also, this could be something that was introduced to later model phones. My a2 was able to fxz back, but it ws made in SEPT 2011. Just another thought.

I did not. It is 5.6. That may be the reason. I got my A2 from att in Nov 2011, so I guess it is the same earlier version, right?
To those with the issue, can you not get back into ap fast boot? Either hold both volume buttons down with power, then select it from the menu, or i have found that holding up with power will boot you right into fastboot.

Nope they can not even power on anymore. This is what we all feared. The hk leak had this same thing in it...
Looks like moto will be warrantying a bunch of phones.
I am just not sure why I can still do it...
We have had way too many of these now for it to be user error or an accident.

Bricked

Just picked up my G3, rooted and unlocked bootloader as soon as i got home. Downloaded one of the jelly bean roms and cwm, did a backup then flashed the rom. Everything looked fine but the screen went dark after the boot animation then nothing. Wont power up or reset using the power home volume combo. What the heck do i do now, thanks for any help.
Might be a stupid question, but have you pulled the battery?
Be more specific.
VZW GALAXY S 3 4G LTE
Do YOUR homework first
How about reading all the threads about unbricking. It certainly seems you did not read all the threads about rooting the phone. Do that too.
Finally, and I know this is not that helpful. Don't screw with a new phone. Use it at least for a month to make sure there are no problems with it.
That being said, there is plenty of information about how to handle your problem here in xda. Read all that and try what has already been posted before asking people to solve your self inflicted problem.
BTW when you do ask for help specify exactly what you did, with what script. I.E. don't ask someone to solve your problem without you taking the time to be very specific about how you got there.
pull the battery and go into recovery or odin and fix it.
Dead battery?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Skubacb - Don't be a douche buddy. If you do not have any thing to add then shut the **** up.
With that being said I have been rooting phones for years, never had an issue when I couldn't get the phone to at least go into recovery. The phone is dead. Battery was fully charged and I have done a battery pull. It is a Verizon G3. I have read the unbrick articles but none explain if the phone will not boot into recovery. If someone could could just point me in the correct direction I would greatly appreciate it.
How did you actually do the flash? Odin? Some other way? As noted, more details are needed.
I flashed the new rom using Rom manager, went in to revovery and flashed it

I don't believe rom manager is supported for our phone yet. U need to flash straight from recovery. That said I'm sorry I'm not sure where u go from here.

If you can't get into either recovery , or download mode you maybe SOL. However I would take this to IRC and see if someone can help on there. #verizons3 channel.
If the phone is under warranty, one other alternate solution is to take it into a VZW store and say it won't start. Of course I'd only go that route if I couldn't get it going any other way. On the plus side, your could at least confirm that battery didn't die on you.
Looks like you forgot to flash the insecure bootloader, buddy.

I'm gonna go with this one (possibly). Did you unlock the phone? Sorry, did you say it won't boot into anything? Download/Odin mode? Recovery? Anything at all when you do the vol up/down, home key, and power button?
Idk if this would help but I'd order a downloader jig off ebay for a couple dollars and use that to see if it'll boot to recovery

I went to turn on my Verizon SGS3 on this morning and nothing happened. I have not even rooted it yet. It was charged when I turned it off 5 minutes before that and even did a battery swap. Phone is completely dead. Will not turn on. I have had it since it first came out, so I called Verizon and they are over-nighting me a "like-new" one. I hope I don't hear more of these stories.

I had a similar issue. If you do the volume/home/power combo (try both volume buttons separately, i forgot which one worked) and hold them through the initial Samsung logo it should put you into download mode, where you can Odin back to stock. I used PureMotive's Unbrick method in the Dev section (I think) and it took all of 20 min. Just make sure to follow the directions carefully.

Atrix 2 ics leak #2 stuck on cm10 boot!

Okay, so here's a long story short. I flashed AT&T ICS leak #2 when I first got my replacement due to a brick. I ran SCV7 for a week or so and decided to try out CM10. I restored my backup of stock/rooted backup. Uninstalled highjacks, packages and app (bootmenu) itself. I then installed our OG A2 bootstrap, installed fine, installed CM10, played around with it for awhile. Realized I didnt reinstall the OG A2 Bootstrap so went ahead and did that. (without booting into recovery yet) I then later in the day decided to REBOOT my phone to only find me stuck on the CM10 boot animation. I battery pulled, plugged in to see if any recovery would show, none, just the battery charge percentage. I then battery pulled again, got into stock recovery, tried a data and cache wipe to no effect. My problem is, there is NO FXZ for the AT&T leak #2, I have no recovery besides stock and the only thing I can do is take my 32GB SD card out and add/delete files/everything. I saddly did not make a copy of the system.img but was wondering if anyone else possibly did? This would be greatly appreciated as I am stuck with a soft brick until then or a new FXZ to work with AT&T leak #2. Any suggestions or help is very much appreciated. Thanks all for reading and I'm praying for a miracle in my phone right about now lol!

Hey, and sort of welcome back...
But I hate to be the bearer of bad, bad news... you have a softbrick, and there is NOTHING you can do.
Next time, read everything in an OP... LOL, look who I am telling this to....
The CM10 installs come with their own CWM built in, and flashing bootstrap is what bootlooped you, so after you get another warranty replacement (yes, you HAVE to do this), I would install leak #1 ONLY, then flash cm10 with bootstrap, then do not reinstall any boot hijacks or CWM "like" recovery (bootmenu), because all you have to do it hit the vol down button right as you see the blue led flash during the M dual core logo.
Or enter the CM10 recovery menu and so on and so forth.
This is how I got out of a cm10 boot-loop.
I just restored from bootmenu backup via adb.

I will get with alteredlikeness and see if we can possibly think of something together on this one. The first thought would be to try an mearet/searet fxz for 2.3.6 since they can fxz back with out any mods to thier 2.3.6 or 2.3.5 fxz from thier ICS leaks, but I am thinking that will still brick you, but interested to see anyhow.
So I will see if alteredlikeness and I can think of some other way to try. He or I will PM you either way.

[Q] unbrick blaze

Hello,
I'm truly hoping someone can help me. I spent all night installing new roms on my phone. Ok let me back up. This is bout the tenth phone I've rooted. I rooted my blaze about 2 months ago using a one step(I think can't remember.) I never really installed a custom Rom until last night. The first Rom I installed was cm10, which I liked. Only problem was I couldn't mount my sd card because I am no where near a computer. So I decided to install the baked Rom. I was ecstatic to find that everything worked. However, the cm10 Rom seemed to be running at the same time. I found that very weird. So I tried to figure out a way to get the cm10 off my phone. For hours I tried wiping and reformatting different things from recovery. My problem is the last time I rebooted my blaze out wouldn't go past the Samsung screen. I've tried all combos of the volume up down and power key and it never goes past Samsung. I'm assuming I've bricked my. It will show the battery charging screen. 1st it'll show the stock screen then the baked screen for charging. Please help me. I've searched xda for help and can't find anything to help.
Ps. I'm not at a computer now but please list help for when I'm able to get to one. And yes I've only gotten about 3hrs of sleep in the last 20hrs from messing with my phone.
Sorry for posting in development first meant to post here.
Odin to stock uvlh5. From sammobile.com/firmware
Edited... because I speak without thinking
^ what he means is download the stock ICS ulvh5 firmware from sammobile.com/firmware for the blaze/sgh-t769 and flash it on Odin.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
Thats why I have the sammobile firmware and odin on a backed up. I've tried to learn from my mistakes well that's what I have learned a lot here hahahaha
Oh i remember reading you are not around a PC a lot... you need a PC for ODIN sounds like you can't get into recovery so PC only other way I know of. If I helped push thanks

Glad to hear that

Getting into TWRP from soft brick

Greetings. I found myself in a situation of being stuck at Alcatel splash screen after rebooting following a flash. Phone wouldn't respond to adb/fastboot commands, or upgrade tool. I kept powering off, and rebooting holding combo of power, vol up, down, and both. Finally after several tries, it booted into TWRP! I wish I could say it was a particular combo, but it was just repetition of power off, and combo of power/ vol buttons. Was able to do this twice with this "method". I have 60450 (Cricket). This Phone doesn't respond how I am used to getting into download (power+vol down), or recovery (power+vol up) Hope this helps if you find yourself in a similar situation.
I've developed an issue as well. I can get into twrp just fine and all is fine there but any combination of ROM or kernel even stock makes my phone reboot every 2-5 minutes. Last night after messing around with a few cm builds and then going back to stock after I couldn't get the phone to cool down..... Stock no longer wanted to cool down either. It's been running way to hot so I turned it off for the night. Turn it back on today and same issues. It even restarts on the powered off battery charging screen , I took it a step further and deleted system, data, cache, and internal storage as well as removing my external sd so no ROM or files was on it at all and it still wanted to reboot at the charging screen! Only place it doesn't is in TWRP. I'm not sure if it's a battery safety issue because it's noticing how hot the device is but I was proven wrong with that too, put it in the freezer for 3 mins and it rebooted then too lol. I'm not sure what to do as even download mode reboots. Wtf. Idk if maybe there's some stock files I could attempt to flash through adb? Can anyone help?
have you tried to flash some stock rom? there is a thread around here which has some twrp backups on stock roms. maybe it helps to get into download mode and repair the phone with the Q.

Just did. Damn i thought for sure it was the answer, but nope, the phone has rebooted 3 times since i just restored the backup from that thread 20 mins ago. It feeezes for a sscond and then will reboot. Whats even worse is it soemtimes doesent let me charge the phone when powered down. Instead of showing the charging battery screen it just boots up into Android. Its highly annoying. I can get into download mode, it just won't stay there.
that suxx. did you unlocked the bootloader? maybe you should relock it.... it's just an idea, really don't have any more idea

Thanks. Unfortunately it didn't work. No matter what I do the phone reboots out of DL mode during the process and ruins it. I'm at My wits end with this phone. Have never had this many issues before. I've done everything. I even used the backup from that old thread to restore stock for 6450. All should've been well but I got reboots even on stock at 90% charged. What's very strange is the only thing I can do to keep this from rebooting is use YOUR kernel from the latest Flyme ROM. No idea why but reboots are minimal with it. They still happen but a lot less. All other ROMs and kernels have issues.

I found him a flashable stock that he got to work. Part of, if not all, of his problem is I think he only has access to a sub-par pc or tablet or something. Anyway, I remember when I didn't know how important it is to have patience and not freak out, and quite a few people had the patience for me , and guided me. I learned. Perhaps this is where he is at. I post things that I have run into, and figured out to try and repay the kindness shown to me. He was trying on his own to figure it out, and that is WAY better than people who don't even try to search, and expect others to do everything for them. This is a community, and just like life, people are at different places. As long as someone is trying, I will try to help if I can. You can't send a rooted phone running CM for warranty.
EDIT: Turns out the reason the upgrade app wasn't working is because i didn't have enough space for the update to download on the PC . I didn't realize because the app never stated why it was restarting my phone or disconnecting so I just assumed it was related to why my phone kept restarting on all ROMs. Wow lol I feel so damn stupid for not thinking of this 2 days ago. Its installing now and hopefully this fixes my reboot issues. Thanks to everybody here for helping and answering my 1000 question's on every post. Really appreciate it.

Hey......we all get flustered and forget the basics sometimes. Plus, for me, this phone doesn't respond like all the HTC, Nexus, and Samsung phones I've rooted and modded. That, and the insistence for every carrier/region to have their own variant, even on these cheaper phones. The T-Mobile Note 3 and 4 were even different depending on whether you had the black or white one! Hope this gets you back to normal, and if you don't have an SD card, at least get a cheap 8gb, and keep a stock backup on it. I've had that be a lifesaver more than once. Good luck my friend, and maybe stick to stock rooted? Lol

All is back to normal, no reboots. I do have an SD card and did have a backup the thing is though I accidentally saved another back up over the original with custom kernel so it was useless lol. And oddly the reboots sort of stopped happening right before but I was using the custom kernel from Flyme which is the only one that seemed to be working. I'm hoping that the issue is with root and not a hardware one from the phone getting to hot flashing things.
