I was attempting to go into CWM recovery so I could make a backup but instead my phone went into the boot loader so I did a battery pull and restarted the phone by just pressing the power button no volume buttons and the phone still goes to the boot loader tried hooking it to the pc and ejecting it then a battery pull and then powered it up went right back to the boot loader Anyone know how to fix this??
Did you ever figure this out?

No I didn't my phone is basically bricked I tried switching back to the stock recovery but it still does the same thing so I called Virgin and they are sending me a new one when they have them in stock again maybe 4 or 5 days the rep said. Thank goodness I was still under warranty.
Oh well that's good. I wonder what went wrong? I just want to avoid it if I can. Has anyone else had this problem?

First this is the wrong section for this. Second just restore the phone back to stock.
Click HERE !!!!!
Before you do this turn off your device, press volume up and power at the same time !! That should take you to Bootloader Menu !!
I recommend you to stay stock, if you have no experience rooting, flashing or unrooting don't try again BEFORE educating yourself more.
Try going into clockwork mod mount USB in advanced menu download a new rom put it on your SD card and flash it. Just so u know this belongs in q/a not development.

Install the drivers on your computer. U cand find them here somewhere and hold volume up + power and try to use fast boot to flash cwm
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Can you access recovery by holding volume + and power? If so, just wipe everything and reflash the rom on your sd.

My Atrix 2 is all of a sudden freezing up on start-up.It goes through the Motorola Dual Core screen and th At&t Screen but as soon as it gets to the lock-screen it freezes,after a few minutes the screen goes dark and wont turn back on.I've pulled the battery countless times and it still wont boot up and work?
I am running stock and did not do anything or install any new apps today.I have no idea what happened.
Please any help would be great,I really need my pictures and videos.

Pictures and notes are usually on sd card and facrory reset let sd intact. You can try first only "wipe cache" from stock recovery maybe helps.

Still cant get it to work,have been using my old phone.
How do I do a "clean wipe".
If I turn it on ,it goes to the unlock screen but wont unlock and the screen goes black but if I call the phone it goes through and the dial screen works fine.
I really need to get this working as I need the texts I have sent and received as well as everything else.
Can anyone offer any help or advice?
Biggest mistake to ever get a Motorola phone,should have stuck with Samsung.
i think ur blur launcher is having problem or u deleted it by mistake.
If any expert here makes a flashable zip of any launcher, or u can install it by adb
At this point I would recommended to reflash back to factory 2.3.5 using the fxz, and the update over the air afterwards.
Remember to always have a backup and use CWM in boot!
Follow this link and look at the instructions on how to flash the fxz: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650

Download "fxz" and "replace" files from Noob thread and flash it using rsd lite if its a software issue then it will be resolved if not i m afraid you will have to service it.
If you're using stock then you shouldn't have to FXZ your phone. With the phone OFF hold the up & down volume keys, and then press your power button. It should pop up the "Boot Mode Selection Menu" Release both the volume keys and then press the down volume once to highlight "Recovery." Then press the volume up button to start your recovery. Scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" using the volume down key and when it is selected press the power button. Then navigate to the "Yes -- delete all user data" using the volume keys (up or down) and press the power key when it is selected. After it has finished, it will show the first menu again. Then navigate to the "wipe cache partition" and follow the same steps as the wipe data/factory reset instructions. Once it goes back to the first menu after wiping the cache partition, then press the power button ("reboot system now" should be selected) and when your phone boots back up it will be like you just got it out of the box except you WILL still have all of your pictures and your videos.
Is there a way to get to my texts and call history?
I need those texts as they have numbers and things i do not have saved anywhere else.
Basically,is there a way to fix this problem without factory resetting is what im asking.
I will try anything,please.

are you rooted? if so you can reset then get all of your data back (I can explain how if you are)
If not, do you have usb debugging enabled? if so you can do a temporary root, just enough to dump your system so you can reset then restore your data the same way

Let's start here, try telling us exactly what happened and what you did to get yourself into this situation. For instance, are you rooted, running any custom roms, or are you on stock Android 2.3.6.? Which model of ATRIX 2: MB865 or ME865? Anything else you can tell us that you have done? The more information you can give, the better!

this would all be helpful. as long as he has usb debugging on he can use the root exploit to open things up enough to try pushing a launcher and if that fails dump the system so that data can be restored

100% stock.I have themb865.Only thing changed is I updated it when Motorola released that update,the one people said fixed the cam.
Here is a video of it,notice how long it takes to start up and when it reaches the screen,nothing happens.If I were to call the phone however it would work and I can receive calls.Also if I press the power button the screen wont turn back on unless I call it.It will run very hot as well.
Video of the problem.

1. Can you try bringing it up without the SD card? If you can, the card may be corrupted, may be need to put to a computer for fsck.
2. Can you connect to it via ADB? Then there are ways (google for exact command syntax: adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases ... in fact pull out entire /data/data, you can extract all your contacts, sms, call log from there) to dump/restore your data.
Like i said a few posts up bud, follow the link i provided and flash the fxz. It will fix your issue. Your pics will remain on the sd card, but yes you will lose your texts. Your contacts are backed up by your google account.

I tried to take the SD card out,same thing.The SD card I got in there now is a different one I popped in the phone so I dont misplace it.It's definitely not the SD card.
I am using an older phone,my contacts are not all there,infact most arent. I need my texts as there is numbers and info in there I cant lose.
I will try what you suggested,is there any other things I should do?
I should add,the last app I installed was that Lookout Security app.
I should have stuck with Samsung,never again will I get a Motorola phone.
Hi, I am new to the forum as a member, although i have been on here before browsing. Think its excellent and helped me alot with my old htc.
My phone went completely dead today, for some reason it wouldnt take charge from my car charger. I got home and charged the phone, it switched itself on, but wont get past the HTC ONE splash screen. I have rebooted it several times.... any ideas?

Try the factory reset option. Your data will still be there afterwards you will just have to setup the phone again.
If you haven't rooted the phone or unlocked the bootloader it's best you stop trying to fix it yourself before you blow your warranty. Try the factory reset and if it doesn't work start calling and trying to get a replacement.
Also, all questions go into the Q & A forum.
Hold the power and volume down buttons until the phone turns off and reboots itself into the bootloader. Then factory reset from here.

Factory reset in recovery? Might be worth a try putting one file on the storage and doing a reset through recovery. I doubt it though, since it removes locking and if it didn't wipe out would give access to all your photos and documents.

Hi,
I rooted my phone today and everything worked fine, I then went to CWrecovery to flash the liquidsmooth rom I downloaded. I selected to reboot device after a successful install but now it won't turn on, no screen, led, etc. if I plug into computer I get a contection noise from my computer but thats it. Can't boot into download mode or recovery... What can I do to fix?
thanks
Did you unlock and flash a custom bootloader?
I think so. I rooted/unlocked bootloader.
Did this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439&nocache=1
For Both Root and Unlocked Bootloader ***RECOMMENDED*** - Download SuperSU + Unlocked Bootloader to your SD Card
Then tried to flash LiquidSmooth from forum.

Did you wipe data factory reset prior to flashing the rom?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
no i didn't
If you forgot to wipe the phone would still attempt to boot. It just might send you into a bootloop
Anthrax unreleased towchwiz
Yeah except I can't get it to boot at all. No response to turning on, pulled battery, waited 30 minutes, then tried to boot again. nothing. not even the LED. now if I leave the battery out and plug the phone in to the computer the LED turns on but that's it. At the computer end I get the sound for plugging in a USB device, however it doesn't do anything else and there were no drivers for the device: QHSUSB_DLOAD.
Is it hard bricked?
Try getting into recovery by holding volume up+home button +power button at the same time. Hold it for a few seconds and it should vibrate and one the Samsung logo comes on you could let go. At this point I would either try re flashing or restore your most recent backup download another rom and try again.

Tried that, as well at the Vol Down+ home+ power. Neither worked, no vibrate or screen boot.
Take your battery out for at least 5 minutes than put on the charger for awhile (couple hours) than try again. If none of this works hero had a wire up on how to fix your soft brick phone that might help. If your bootloader wasn't unlocked I'm not sure what to do to fix that. I hope you get it going. I'll post that link if I find it.

My friend had this happen (not rooted), she took it in to Verizon and they got it going by holding VOL UP and DOWN, and then POWER.
I'd never heard of this technique, but it worked for her.
