Atrix 2 Home Screen doesn't UNLOCK

First time I got Wifi connected, my Atrix 2 MB865 did auto update its software and after reboot everything seem to work fine except the UNLOCK SCREEN doesn't respond or accept the slide to Left-Right-Top-Down for UNLOCK, Mail, Music ... or any among those 4 functions provide from the first log in screen.
Please someone give me idea how to takeover that home unlocking screen? any mod or ROM to flash replacing that home log in screen?
Help....

If you don't have any data to lose then just do a manual reset..............
Turn off your phone.
1.If your phone is not responding, try a quick reset. Remove the back cover and battery, then insert the battery and install the back cover.
2.When your phone is off, press and hold both volume keys together, then press Power to turn on the phone.
3.When your phone shows the boot mode menu, press Volume Down to highlight “Recovery.”
Press Volume Up to start “Recovery.”
4.Your phone reboots, then shows a green robot on the screen.
Note: If you activate the wrong prompt or run into problems, you can start over by forcing a reboot.
When the green robot appears, press Volume Up and Volume Down together.
5.The recovery menu appears. Press the volume keys to scroll to the factory reset option, then press Power to activate it. Press the volume keys to scroll to the Yes confirmation, then press Power to confirm.
6.When the reset is complete, press Power to choose reboot from the recovery menu.

the recovery doesn't show any menu beside it only show Android Cartone sleeping with Red [!] Sign.... for a while and reboot into normal.
Is that because the main ROM is not properly flashed that many the recovery module fail?

[Q] screen in black after boot in gear 2

I do not know how it happened but the screen of my gear 2 just do not turn on after boot (just after the samsung logo). Only shows the screen to restart after pressing the button and if the bluetooth connected or not.
I tried
- Change the default from the app of gear in my S3.
- Restore a backup.
- Update the software, but there was an error Bluetooth Connection
- Reinstall the app on my phone, after that would not be anymore connecting the gear to bluetooth
- Hard reset
but still the same.
Have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks for the help.
(sorry for my bad English)

There is a recovery mode, I never used it, but give it a try. Long press the home button, keep it pressed until the device reboots. Then press at least three times the home button (while rebooting). You will see a text menu with a few options. Select recovery in the menu by pressing the home button a few times. When recovery is selected, long press the home button.

Hi,
Have you tried download mode + Smart Switch Emergency Software Recovery?
Download for Windows here
1. Press Power + Volume DOWN + Home for 3 sec then release power and keep holding Volume DOWN + Home for 5 more seconds then release.
2. Now press Volume UP and your phone should be in download mode even though your screen is black.
3. Open Smart Switch Emergency Software Recovery
4. Connect your phone to your computer.
5. When connected, click on "MORE" in the top right corner, then choose "Emergency software recovery and initialisation"
6. Follow the on-screen guide.
IF you get stuck at 51%, please see THIS page
Hope this can be of any help for you

Display locked, Recovery just says "no command"

Ok here is my problem. I had a waterdamage that toasted a small part of my screen and as it seems, maybe something else too.
After the waterdamage the phone made some kind of reset.
Now the display is locked and i dont know the correct pattern.
In Fastboot Flash Mode "Factory" reset doesn't reset the lockscreen.
And "Recovery" doesnt work at all it just says "Kein Befehl" witch is german for "no command"
Any suggestions/solutions on what i could try? or is my device now a few months after the end of the warranty dead?

Solved it myself
Fixed it myself. Here if someone lost soul in the future has the same problem.
1Ensure the device is powered off.
2Press and hold the Volume Down button for 3 seconds. While still holding the Volume Down button, press and release the Power button.
3From the "Boot Mode Selection Menu" screen, select Recovery. Note Utilize the Volume Down button to scroll through the menu options and the Volume Up button to select.
4From the "Android system recovery" screen, press and hold the Power button then press and release the Volume Up button to display the menu options.
5Select wipe data/factory reset.
6Note Utilize the Volume buttons to highlight and the Power button to select.
7Select Yes -- delete all user data.
8Note Allow several seconds for the factory data reset process to complete.
9Select reboot system now.

My S7 Edge is Constantly Rebooting And Nothing Works

The problem started when I was on my bootloader that simply said "Downloading Do Not Turn Off Target" and I held the power button down to reboot since I didn't see any other way to cancel that screen. From then on, my phone kept restarting over and over again. Basically, it shows the "Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge" logo then turns off and shows a blank screen for two seconds then turns on again repeatedly. If I hold the power button, volume up and home button or just volume up and home button, the phone states "Installing system update" on the screen and goes to the menu that allows me to reboot the phone, clear cache, shut down, factory reset and so on. I tried factory resetting and clearing cache over and over again with no luck. I tried to install custom firmware by holding volume down, power button and home button and going into the bootloader and using odin but still no luck. Every guide suggested that the phone has a stuck power button but the tap methods don't work and I'd like to confirm that's the problem before I take my phone apart to replace that power button.
The thing that confuses me is that when I go into the menu with the options for rebooting, clearing cache, etc. the power button works fine. Whenever I want to shut down the phone, I can click the volume up and select the "Shut Down" option and then clicking the power button to confirm and it does shut off the phone. How would the power button be the issue if it works fine afterwards?
So would the conclusion be to replace the power button flex or is it a software issue? Or is my phone bricked after having it for three months?
(The problem's lasted for two days now)

Sorry, wrong thread.

Yea, stock firmware should do it. If you can get into recovery it's definitely not your power button.
