Cant boot into fastboot or recovery - Motorola Atrix HD

Hi guys, I recently tried flashing CyanogenMod 10.2 on my atrix hd which it said was successful. (I guess) But after restarting, it wouldnt boot pass the CyanogenMod spinning Logo (boot loop?) . So I pressed vol up+down and power to shut it off. It works but then it immediately boots up to the unlocked bootloader screen and goes back to the cyanmod logo again. So far I pulled the battery which worked but after pressing vol up + power, or vol down + power it goes to unlock bootloader screen then back to the CyanogenMod logo. Is it bricked? I have a back up atrix but I dont wanna use it

You pulled your phone apart to pull the battery? Try this: hold all 3 buttons to shut it off, and once it's off let go of all 3, then hold both volume buttons and spam the power button. Once you get to the menu, press volume down then volume up and it should boot into CWM. (You do have CWM, right?)

Really? Posting to help your post count? Lol he said it in his question and he's in the atrix section.. Once it turns off hold down both volume buttons then you should get to the boot selection menu. Then go into recovery and do a fresh wipe and install

Power your phone off, push and hold volume down, then hold power button as well and hold it for a few seconds. Then you ll reboot to recovery or simply boot the phone, hold the power button, choose reboot, in the next menu choose boot recovery and done.

doesnt work.
simple use SFT.
there is PBR (iirc, pseudo-boot recovery, button combo to enter recovery, cmiiw) on cm10. I think cm10.1 also has it.
turn on the phone, focus on led button, when it start blink for the first time press volume down + power button. You should press it at the right time to make it work. Tried it couples of time.
thank you, it works!

iI just saw that it work onjy on GB roms and cm10 cm10.1
I guess it is about bootloader, I don't know exactly!
I tried it on STOCK ICS 4.0.4 (Nemesis) and it dind't work for me.

Boot Failure, Battery low help.

Rooted my atrix hd, flashed safestrap, wiped, flashed cm10 and got a bootloop.
Now My battery is low, Cant get anything besides a Motorola logo and "device is locked, status code 0"
"battery low", "boot failure".
Anyway, I have tried booting into recovery with holding down power and volume up/down, no luck.
Anything I can do?
I have rsd ready with a stock sbf ready to flash. I need a working phone!
thank you very much.
And yes I have searched for answers on the net and this forum, among others. the phone won't charge. ugh
Had the same thing happen to me luckily I have insurance. Basically you need someone else with an atrix HD or to get a factory cable.

Well, my friend had same prob as u (stuck & battery low with installed safestrap in phone) and here is what i did to help her:
1. Open bootmenu (power+volume up+volume down)
2. Select BP Tools (the last choice) and it will boot the safestrap directly. I saw that in safes trap, phone could be charged normally and I let it be there until baterry was about 25% and flashed.

Open from the boot menu at what point? from powered off? Cause my phone wont turn on unless I plug it into the wall and the it goes right to
the fastboot screen.

Hold both volume down and up. I did several times and it worked, of course sometimes it went to fastboot directly, hold power button to turn off and try again.

[Q] Atrix HD softbrick

I'm new to the forums and new to all this, Problem is, I rooted and unlocked bootloader on Atrix HD. Set up SafeStrap as recovery. Everything checked and working. After letting SafeStrap install Cyan 10.3 and rebooting, phone entered CyanogenMod boot screen and become stuck. I didn't reset and wipe all stock settings and cache (yes, I know that should have been an obvious step and I'm paying for it now). Figured I could just go into SafeStrap and make the quick fix.
Seems that I'm unable to enter my custom recovery, instead I'm lead to the familiar bricked android stock recovery. No options to access stock rom or fastboot menu. Tried installing a different recovery, but fastboot on PC is unable to find device. Got the factory cable and still no fastboot.
I see in the forums that if you can power the phone up up can fix it but I seem to have the one phone that wont go into fastboot or recovery.
Can anyone help? I seem to have tried it all, am I beating a dead horse??
Literally the exact same thing. Almost word for word..

Sorry I took it You got me. I have gone through that but I cant get the phone to fastboot even with the cable, it powers up ,shows the unlocked bootloader screen then the cyanogenmod screen.
Well if you read beforehand as I said in the other thread.. Safestrap is NOT for a unlocked bootloader. And are you using an actual factory cable or the cable that came with the phone (oem) there's a distinct difference.

Can you get to the screen that shows you white options on black background? Turn the device off, then hold both volume buttons and press the power button a few times. Once you're at this screen, go down to "AP Fastboot" with volume down, and select it with volume up. Then use Myth or RSD or manually fastboot back to stock.
Maybe the safestrap thread op should put a big sign or warning telling users about not using safestrap no more.. I see noobs are the one flashing still safestrap when that is useless now. People like that search on google will find that thread and will start from there as they dont know and that was actually an old method to go around on atrix hd.

Well some people can't unlock for various reasons that's why it says for locked bootloader in the title now. But they have to realize the rom selection is minimal.
To the op are you sure your holding both volume buttons down on restart? Not letting go of one? Because if you can power it on and off I see no reason you can't get to the boot menu.

Don't want to go into the details, but if I wanted to I could run two 4.3 roms with SSR. All you really need is two roms that run the same kernel.
Yes I understand that part skeevy as I did asked myself few times about if that was possible and i find out that it was by the same parameters you mentioned. But what I mean is at the stage we are I will see safestrap as not supported anymore is useless for us since we can unlock the bootloader.
Just saying :beer:

SO, I still cant seem to pull up any menu, even with the factory cable. I see that many others made the same mistake that I did and they found a fix. My problem is the phone doesnt go into fastboot
how about press & hold the volume down button and then the power button?

I have the factory cable and when I plug it in and hold down the volume down it powers up and the shows the unlocked bootloader screen then to the CyanogenMod where it gets stuck. At first I thought the button didn't work, but if I hold all three it goes to the dead android, so to me the button does work. The phone just doesnt seem to want to fastboot.
You only hold the volume buttons and just press power.

I don't even have to do that. I just boot/reboot and hold both volumes down. That's all.
That will access the boot menu giving options to access fastboot mode, recovery, and more.

You can't flash custom roms with rsd man. You need an unlocked bootloader and to use a custom recovery to flash. You'll have to flash the stock firmware with rsd and start over.

The problem is i cant see anything on the phone at all!!! I cant see the boot menu (the black screen menu) the bootloader was unlocked at the last time but i cant say anything about it right now...
I all know is the phone power on somehow.. by looking at the device manager i see QHSUSB_DLOAD port is connected and i can see the same thing in RSD Lite too..
So when i try using RSD it says "the phone failed to switch to fastboot mode"
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Once the bootloader is unlocked, it can't be re-locked which is good.
Were you trying to install a custom or stock rom using RSD? What rom were you running?

I went through the same thing this weekend and probably bricked my phone 6 times and killed one SD card. What eventually worked for me was holding the power button down until the phone vibrates, then quickly holding the power button and both volume keys until the fast boot option came up. It took 45 tries before I got it. From there I was able to boot into my ClockworkMod recovery and flash my new ROM. ProBam Kit Kat. I hope this helps

I hold the power button down about 2 minutes but no reaction no vibrate need more time?
If it doesn't vibrate afer ~10 seconds release the button and try again. It can take several tries. As stated above, as soon as it vibrates let go and immediately press both volume buttons and the power button; this will get you into fastboot where you can choose to boot into recovery.

What your battery level at the last time you saw it? My difficulties were partly caused by low batt (I believe it doesn't charge in fastboot or recovery) I've had to pull batteries and manually wire them to a charger before.

A factory fastboot cable would probably help you in this situation. You can look on youtube on how to make one or you can buy one for about 5 bucks on eBay. It will both power your phone and force fastboot mode when plugged into the computer

If you hold the power button for 2 seconds the menu should pop up. Or try flashing a custom recovery.

4.4 is faster than 4.3 unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery and a Rom
