Am I most certainly hard bricked? - Motorola Atrix 2

1) Was on stock 4.04 ICS
2) Rooted the phone
3) Installed Bootstrap recovery
4) SOFTBRICKED by trying to install a Kitkat based rom (Liquid kitkat ) using recovery.
5) So apparently Liquid Kitkat rom was installed..........and was SOFT BRICKED
Got Motorola logo then blank screen
6) RSDLITE failed to flash FXZ Gingerbread InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285.zip
This part failed on the reboot (I understand now this was a no no)
QUESTION: Would FXZ 4.04 ICS have been fine for fixing this with RSDLITE?
........ Now nothing will come up...will not turn on.........
no button routines will turn this on.......
the only light that will turn on is the white let when the battery is removed and plugged into pc.
So is this pretty much hard bricked without a way to DIY fix it?
Thanks.

Try the following link to recover your device
Hi,
Refer this link by which you can get your device back to working....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36834775&postcount=108
It needs FXZ file to be flashed to ics again. Then root and enjoy custom roms.....
As per my very little knowledge it is safe to use boot menu manager (BBM) then Atrix Boot strap.....
Please let me know if the above think works for you... It worked for me .....

Won't work. ...... my problem is the phone won't turn on.......cannot currently enter fastboot or any boot option..........hence possibly "hard-bricked".
Thanks anyways.

By the name of the FXZ file, it seems you have an AT&T Atrix 2. Sorry to say, but your phone's hard bricked by downgrading it to GB from ICS.

Thanks for the reply. Didn't I effectively try to go from Softbricked "Liquid Kit-Kat " to Gingerbread?
Since I installled Liquid Kitkat CM11-based.......(which softbricked me after trying to boot that )................would the ICS version of FXZ worked properly?
In other words, did I need to use a kit-kat based FXZ to recover from softbrick with RSDLITE?..........or just ICS?
Thanks

There's no official Jelly Bean for our device, let alone KitKat and hence none of the respective FXZs. So, yes, you should have flashed ICS FXZ in order to recover from the soft-brick.

You might be having International version of Atrix 2 or you might be on ICS Leak or GB, and hence you could recover your phone.
Downgrading an AT&T Atrix 2 from ICS to GB is 100% hard brick. Read around and you will get information on more such cases.

You had 2 mistakes:
1/ Use Bootstrap recovery instead of BMM to flash kexec ROMs
2/ Flash GB instead of ICS when the phone (AT&T) has already been on ICS (deadly mistake)

Hi. hard brickIn this way the device is to survive

Issue Solved??
Did your problem solved? If not you could give it a try the method I told you..... Mine is an international version... I downloaded FXZ for retail asian.... My phone was not at all showing anything when I click power button..... So if you tried all options you can give it a try...

You are not hard bricked. Your battery is very low hense the white led. You will have to straight wire the battery. Red+ Black- i brought mine back like this. Make sure u are using the correct fxz to.

RSD Lite freezes at 14/21 flash system

Well, i recently installed the MIUI rom to see if the battery bug was fixed, but its not.
So, i was triyng to go back to the ics leak, as always.
But now, i don't know why, when i'm in the step 14/21 the program doesn't move.
I mean, the '>>' is still moving, but i left it about an hour and it's still there.
Any ideas?​

Wait, you installed MIUI and now you're trying to use RSDLite to flash the ICS leak? That won't work. Which leak are you trying to flash? You're teetering on the verge of a soft brick if you go down this road. Not good...

So, what should i do now?

Uh oh... you installed an OTA from 2.3.6? Do you know what the update was for? If it was for the OTA to ICS, and you tried to flash a GB .xml or something lower than the official OTA to ICS, you likely have yourself one of those fancy non-FXA'able soft bricked devices...
Edit: If you were on MEARET you may stand a chance to FXZ back to GB, and try to re-OTA to ICS, as some users have noted success with. But, I'm not making any promises in your case...
@Apex, i tried the back to GB from ICS utility and I'm stuck at the dual core screen. I can access AP fastboot however. I was on the stock ICS leak, and i deleted safestrap, and logwrapper and logwrapper.bin files, and upon rebooting i was stuck at boot screen, now after trying the utility I am still in the same position... any help??
No, no. I doesn't installed anything yet. That was the steps that i do to go into ICS Leak, but now, y cant pass throught the first the step. When i flash the .xml it freeze at 14/21.
But, my other problem is that i don't have enough battery, and i think i'm going to the warrancy service.

If you were on the first leak, and tried to FXZ back to GB, you still have a fighting chance. It's only when on the 2nd leak (as was my case) that's there's no known way out of that soft brick. I'm sure Jim or alteredlikeness will see this and figure out how to bring you back out. Sorry, I'm not much help without my knowledge of FXZ'ing back from ICS leak #1. You shouldn't worry too much, I think you're situation is 'fixable'...

Made it to ICS without looking at this thread
I ran into the same issue freezing at 14/21 and failing at 16/21. Being stubborn I continued installing updates.
When an update is ready to install and my phone restart and say flash failure, I would hold both volume buttons and press the power button, once to exit and again to reenter. Next I would scroll to recovery and the installation would continue.
First update 2.3.6 then ICS. During ICS update I had flash failure a couple time but I just redo the button combination the scroll to recovery, thinking everything would be wonderful.
Well I now have ICS installed but my ringtones and notifications won't stick. When I shut down my phone is goes back to the flash failure screen and will not charge automatically while off. These are the only issues I've noticed, I'm sure there is more...
Please help!

Yes you can use rsd lite to return to 100% stock and then try the ota..i recommend upgrading to leak 1 since you cant go back to gb if you update to ics ota

Just use the 2.3.6 FXZ through RSD lite. If you want good webtop then stay at 2.3.6, because webtop 3.0 is more like tablet mode and not ubuntu anymore.
Here is a link to get the 2.3.6 fxz:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.25_cfc_p3_APBP.xml.zip
All of the FXZ files are here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
If you really want to try ICS, then I would go for leak one from 2.3.6 just do not root or install anything while in 2.3.6.
Here are the instructions for that. Again though ICS does not have ubuntu for webtop, it is just android in tablet mode:

What do you mean you replaced the boot image? please give me a link to the thread you go that from... that is quite disturbing.
What I need you to do is to flash the 2.3.6 fxz file with RSD lite, and watch each step and make sure you get a PASS at the end, if not you might be failing in one of the steps, I think there are like 18 steps or something in the AT&T FXZ. I really need to know which step it is failing on, it should be something like step 3/18 or something like that... I really need to know that or if it goes all the way to the end and say PASS.
If you can grab a screen shot of the error or PASS that might also help as well.

Yeah not the best idea. That ONLY should apply to NON-ATT phones, all you just did was put the 2.3.5 boot image on the 2.3.6 bad flash, you are still not whole. You may not be able to get this all right, after doing that, not easily at least... those instructions were out WAY before we had an official 2.3.6 FXZ, which is what you should be using.
I still need to know where RSD is failing, that is crucial to know what is happening.
From here on, if you want my help, DO NOT do anything unless I ask you to please!!! I am one the devs on this phone and our resident expert here. I am very meticulous, but I will get you back but you need to take this one step at a time, and do only what I ask and report back.

Yeah unfortunately you are screwed, sorry to say. The white LED means it is dead, no bringing it back. That is why I was trying to figure where things were going wrong, rather than having you risk further issues.
You might be able to find an atrix2 with a broken screen cheap on ebay and just put the good motherboard from that in your phone, and get yourself back up and running, I have seen them for 50-100 USD on ebay. There are instructions on how to replace the screen in the general section.

Well, they will most likely send it back to you with a referb, and it WILL have the stock ICS on it, and you will NOT be able to get back on GB and use the ubuntu webtop.

Hello, I am sorry if I am hijacking this thread but that is not my intention. I have a similar situation here that I need help with. I just bought a used Atrix 2 yesterday and I am unable to use that.
It is running the following:
Android Version: 2.3.5
System Version: 55.11.11.MB865.ATT.en.US
Build Number: 5.5.1-175_EDFFW1-11
It was in factory reset after mode so i followed the instruction to register with google and my gmail added. But when go to contacts, it keep rotating to open AT&T address book and never comes out of it. So I cannot use my google contacts and has to dial the numbers every time (sucks). Secondly, I called AT&T about the address book problem and was told that is not their problem and asked me to update the Android. I tried updating endlessly but the phone always says 'The software is upto date and no update is necessary!" really?
I called at&t again w/o much success. Then I called Motorola and was told that the phone is running a strange unofficial (really, again?) android version that they cannot help either.
I did confirm the phone is not rooted.
Now, I have a beautiful looking phone that i cannot use. I am not familiar with rooting and all sorta things and can you please help me so i can use this phone?
Thanks a ton.

However it gets stuck on the "Dual Core Technology" screen at boot up.

Totally stuck. Any suggestions what i can do?
It's Non-AT&T purchased in Central America.
Installed using Bootstrap Recovery.
Followed all instructions at above link except cleared the caches before installing.
No errors showed during install.
Firmware is 2.3.6

Quoted from the op in the NUMA thread:
"!-!-FOR ICS 3.0.8 KERNEL ONLY-!-!
BASED ON OFFICIAL AT&T 4.0.4 ICS (but will also work on non-at&t)"
If your firmware is 2.3.6, then you didn't follow the instructions in the op. You can't flash NUMA on gingerbread. You have to be on ICS. That is why you are having problems.
Does the volume down button not work at all? If it doesn't, then I don't know what you can do. If normally it does, turn off the phone completely then press power and volume down at the same time to boot straight into fastboot mode.(what you're describing is not fastboot mode, that's the boot mode selection menu) Then flash your FXZ, update to ICS and try again. NUMA is well worth the effort IMO.:thumbup:

If your firmware is 2.3.6, then you didn't follow the instructions in the op. You can't flash NUMA on gingerbread. You have to be on ICS. That is why you are having problems.
Does the volume down button not work at all? If it doesn't, then I don't know what you can do.

Yeah, you flashed over GB, which could have even hard bricked you, but I doubt it. your gonna need to get the down button working so you can at least get into fastboot and reflash.

Damn, seems i messed that up. Itd be nice if it said something like "DO NOT USE ON YOUR PHONE IF IT CAME INSTALLED WITH 2.3.6" or something along those lines for those of us less familiar with the Kernel versions etc.
I have used a computer in an internet cafe to flash it to the leaked ICS ROM. Seems to be working okay now (phew)...
Thanks heaps for the help, you're lifesavers!
edit: how do i get the recovery console working again.. now if i try to boot into recovery i get a sick looking android with an exclamation mark in his stomach. there{s some of the menu items but i cant restore from a file on the sd card.
Hmm... so having some issues. ICS (leak) is working (with the odd bit of chinese here and there??)... but i cant get into a working recovery.
I've tried searching the forum for a bootstrap or recovery i can install, but only find the 2.3.6 version (which is what i had on there before). i tried to run it but it fails.. tried to unroot using that and it failed too.
can soembody show me a recovery i can install so i can boot into recovery and mod to Numa please?
motorola atrix2 boots up but only doesn't on
Im not sure if this is in the wrong section, I recently installed ROM Toolbox and changed the font on my phone and it asked for reboot, but now when I tried it is stuck in boot. it only boots up and motorola screen comes and does not show homescreen ... pls help me

Search for Boot Menu Manager in the playstore.

Do you have a custom recovery installed? If you do, try to get into that and restore the backup you hopefully made before you started tinkering. If not, you'll have to flash the FXZ that is for your phone's model.

Got it, but the phone is no longer rooted. I can't find a guide to root a phone that has been flashed with ICS. Any suggestions?

You can not install BMM on a CyanogenMod ROM (CM10 has another custom recovery built in). You will need to find the FXZ/fasboot files for your device and return to stock and start over (or just flash the system.img only).
Also, it helps us help you if you give more information about your device.
See here for your FXZ probably: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
Also, see here if you don't want to use RSD Lite and for the system.img only script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36834775&postcount=108 - make sure you read and edit the files for your region's FXZ (I made that based on the AT&T ICS FXZ files).
thank's .
now i have an hard brick only white led
so i sell my phone or i search a another

You sure? You should be able to if you have a white led.
Have you tried pressing vol+ and vol- and then power on?

White LED usually means hard brick on this phone..
He can try charging the battery in a wall outlet.. But sounds like a brick. How did this happen?
Sent from my MB865 using xda app-developers app
after resettlement gb suiste while I was in cm10 ereeur. there was an error during file transfer rsdlite.
I buy another atrix 2 will not install on the back of my first atrix on again.
I therefore sell atrix down
hello
my atrix has led white only if usb connected to my pc. The LED will turn off if I press power on and up / down.

That is a hard brick for sure.
It appears that you flashed a GB FXZ over ICS, you can NOT do that with this phone. Once you are on an ICS kernel (that is what cm 10.1 requires), you can NOT go back to GB. Flashing the GB image over the ICS one bricked your phone, because it tried to flash the GB boot loader over the ICS one, and Motorola set this phone up to not allow that, and will hard brick the phone.
As for your other question, you can buy a used A2 on Ebay or the like and get one with a broken screen and put the mother board into your phone case and use your screen. If you are not handy, then I would say go grab a used Google Nexus 3 (GNex), from ebay or something like that.
hello
thank you for the answer that's what I thought hardbrick.
My question is are what I just install the backup of my a2 on the new or should reinstall it all.
little do we run an ad because I have a atrix hardbrick super condition for sale for parts nickel screen no scratches and is in good condition photo on request.

[Q] Atrix 2 help!

Hi guys!
I tried searching for a similar problem that I have but wasn't able too. So I need your help here.
So I lost my CID, didn't back it up so was using bptools for it when I was on JB leak3.
1) I flashed CM11, 4.4.2 dated 14 Dec after flashing gapps, it removed my recovery and was bootlooping
2) I reflash the same leak3 which used to work earlier using RSDlite. Now the rom isn't booting i.e. it is stuck in it's "pumping logo".
3) I again try reflashing using RSDlite, only this time, it fails and status is shown as battery low in fastboot. Now I connect charger, it boots, stuck in the white screen which is expected since I lost my CID.
So, does this mean that it's charging? If not, am I screwed??

If fastboot says low battery then u cant RSD.....
Google Mcgruyver method or externally charge ur battery....( ie if you get a white led )
If your in india it shouldn't be a problem finding an external universal battery charger in any cell shop....

But it was charging even when the screen was white. So now I'm on JB leak 3. Any idea why did my recovery uninstalled automatically?

Dude if fast boot says low battery RSD wont flash it............whether or not it was charging with a white screen

And from what i know u can't flash ICS once ur on the JB leak ie u can't downgrade so u will have to flash the same leak again......

BMM can be like that sometimes. There are a few possible ways that it could've happened. As long as you make a backup before trying anything, and have RSD lite and your FXZ handy it shouldn't be too much of a problem. It's more aggravating than anything else...

If he was getting the "pumping" Motorola logo boot animation, then he was only boot looping so he was able to charge the battery. The battery would've only been an issue if the phone was booting straight into fastboot, or if it wouldn't get past the boot logo.
Also you can downgrade from jb to ICS, just not from ICS to GB.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

Hey!
IDK what was I thinking but I flashed pa 4.4.2 gapps on CM11 by altered and BOOM! Lost recovery and bootloop.
So I re-flashed leak 3 it's now stuck in boot animation("pumping"--again what was I thinking lol!) meaning a softbrick. Why is it happening? I mean is it a bad flash?
Or does it have something to do with leak 3? If so, I can't seem to find ics fxz. The superthread links are dead. My another question is-
Will I be able to us AT&T fxz? Since I've already lost my CID, it shouldn't be a problem right?
PROBLEMS PROBLEMS PROBLEMS!:silly:
Also, can anyone give me the link for asian version of ICS?
EDIT- Was able to boot! went to stock recovery, wiped data and cache partition. Thanks for help guys

If you ever want to use the JB leaks again, DO NOT flash the AT&T FXZ. Just a forewarning just in case you get stuck again and start considering it.

OMG you're right! Never thought of that! Thank God I acted patiently here. I was gonna flash AT&T ics just before trying that wiping data thing!
Thanks! Will keep that in mind.
One more question though(and hopefully the last..)
Can I flash PA Gapps on slimkat? Since both are based on AOSP right?
i guess i've a problem . by mistake while i was supposed to backup cid , i chose the option erase cid and it s deleted, no backup either. now whenever i reboot, my phone shows some error. since i've bmm i am being able to load into ics in system 1 . is there any possible way to get rid of this error message about cid during startup?? because it is really annoying.
