I have an Atrix 2 US at&t version unlocked.I tried flashing Asian retail image on it using RSD lite(I know I shouldn't have due to hardware difference between us and Asian version.but i didn't know this then of course).however the flashing was unsuccessful and now every time my phone restarts it goes into AP FASTBOOT MODE (FLASH FAILURE)
I can't get it to boot normally.any help would be highly appreciated.
thanks....

If you have NOT installed ICS at any time you should use rsdlite to flash the AT&T 2.3.5 fxz and go from there. If you had ICS then you should use Jim's ICS to GB script which will get you back to 2.3.5 as well.

This is happening cause the flashing failed when you tried to flash the wrong firmware. When the phone boots, it runs certain system checks, and if it fails those checks, as a safe mode, it throws itself into Fastboot. It will do this because it is unsure if the phone is safe to boot.
You can boot it normally from FB by hitting power, (screen shuts off) hold down both volume rockers, and hit the power button. Then select boot normally.
And devil is right, reflashing the PROPER fxz will fix this issue. Follow the noob guide in the stickies of this forum.
I know I have been using my Atrix by manually booting it in normal mode.I just want everything to go back to normal.will I be able to ota it to 2.3.6 once I flash 2.3.5???

This is exactly what we were warning everyone about - IF YOU WANT TO ROOT AND MOD YOUR PHONE ON ICS, STAY ON THE FIRST LEAK ONLY! There is no safety net fxz for anything higher than leak#1 yet. (Sorry, for the caps lock, but it wasn't directed only at you.)
Can you boot into custom recovery (probably not, from the sound of it)? Not sure what and how bad things are messed up, but you can't re-install the OTA through stock recovery.. I don't suppose you made a system.img before this happened? If you can't get into custom recovery, then your only hopes at this point is to flash something with moto-fastboot in AP Fastboot mode - i.e. system.img and/or radio.img - but, that probably won't help unless they are images from your own phone.
Yea everything works but the text messaging . I actually flashed the multilingual stock thinking it would fix but it didn't.

So how would I know for sure if my bootloader is unlocked can't flash any kernel but ez unlock says its unlocked
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
When your phone is powered of completely, hold the power and volume down keys at the same time. This will then bring up a white screen with a load of text. Look at the top and if it says 'S-off' then I assume you've unlocked the boot loader. If it says 'S-on' I assume not. But this isn't always the case.
Try it anyway and if this helps please leave a thank you

The simplest way to tell is if you reboot your device and if the first splash screen that appears flashes "Samsung" really quick, then you are unlocked. If you are not unlocked it will stay up for a second or two.

Actually they do work as I used 1.4 and the only thing is that it says unknown. Also once it gives you the prompt saying the phone is unlocked you flash a custom recovery to see if you have successfully unlocked the bootloader.

You probably flashed an incompatible kernel. Basically if you flash a kernel meant for ICS it won't work on jelly bean and vice versa.

It has been widely known/reported that 1.4/1.3 are non-functional. I think you are the first person I've seen to claim otherwise. Maybe it works for some? All I know is that 1.4 did not work for me I had to revert to 1.2, and this is the same for everyone else in the ez unlock thread on Rootz.

That's weird, so you have no way to access download mode? You never get a screen saying you're ready to download files?
It sounds like you aren't completely entering download mode, hold volume down, power and home button at the same time. Once you see the blue text at the top, release the power button and continue holding the volume and home keys until you're in. If your phone boots to the Verizon screen you should be able to boot into download mode.

OK so just to clarify...
You can enter Odin mode, but when you hit the volume up button to enter download mode the screen goes blank? Take a picture of what you're seeing and post it if you can, it's hard to tell what's going on because Odin mode is download mode.
If you can't enter download mode, there's no way to recover your phone in an easy way. You can try using an sdcard bootloader brick method, but I don't think it'll work because your phone isn't completely unresponsive. The only way to fix it at this point is jtag. Just make sure there's no way to get into download mode.

Good, your bootloader is still unlocked, I'll point you in the right direction when I get off work or have time.
Someone will probably get there before me though, but you're in good shape.
You need to Odin flash a stock 4.1 image, root it, and freeze sdm 1.0 and fwupdater.apk to prevent it from updating to 4.3.

OK, so simply follow section five of this guide. Go to the website linked in the op, and download the 4.1.2 mf1 firmware. Do not download the 4.3 ml1 firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
Next, use this to root your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332825
Once that's finished, download ez unlock version 1.2 and unlock the bootloader.
Once you're rooted, use a file browser (es file Explorer is free) and rename sdm1.0.apk and fwupdater.apk to sdm1.0.apk.bak and fwupdater.apk.bak. This will keep the phone from updating to 4.3 and locking your bootloader.
