Boot Loop after unlocked bootloader

As the title says, After I unlocked the bootloader, and flashed a 2.3.4 rom, My Atrix sometimes will go up to the blur phase of the boot and then it will restart, but most of the time will just do a boot loop on the Red Moto Logo at boot, I can go into fastboot and recovery no problem...
Thanks on any help...

same thing
i get the same thing every now and then but i can get fastboot and recovery so im good i guess.

Did you wipe before you installed your ROM?
Do a fastboot -w then reinstall your ROM.

also do a factory reset and make sure your on the newest recovery

Did the fastboot -w and reinstalled the ROM and it is doing the bootloop the same, first boot goes up to the blur phase and reboots, and afterwards just does the boot loop up to the motorola dual core red logo.

Did you make sure to use tenfar's CWM instead of ROM Manager's? My 2.3.4 install also bootlooped, and that ended up being the issue.

Ok, but mine does not say unlocked right now, I did Unlock the bootloader but after I flashed the 1.2.6 SBF it does not say it!!!!

I noticed you posted that you actually have unlocked bootloader just make sure that when you turn on the phone it said in the left top corner "unlocked", if it is not that case just follow intructions on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15930466&postcount=1
download the script and select option 1 from the main menu and then option 3 and complete all the steps
so you can re unlocked the bootloader
then follow the instrucionts that I posted before here

mramirezusa Thank You.... As you stated, everything went smoothly and my phone it's perfect again, something I noticed, when it boots, it's does not say unlocked anymore shoul'd I do the procedure with the the script that you sent posted above...

It says it's for MZ602. Will this still work with our current XOOMs.
Furthermore, will it work with a 3G XOOM that has yet to be upgraded?

It says Verizon. It is the same file we updated to. Ours was the mz600, but after the upgrade it became mz602. You know of any other Verizon xoom with 4g? They are going to sell the same xoom, just has the lte card in it this time.

Well, I'm having trouble with it.
I'm using RSDLite and trying to flash the .SBF and it's saying:
"Error validating image files" under status, before I even hit start.
Then afterwards, I get:
"Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. Unable to retrieve initialization values from INI..."

Thanks... Anybody knows if I flash one of the latinamerican image into a US 4G would brick the Xoom?

I think you have to extract it or unzip it.

Extracted the .SBF from the .GZ file. It's just like.. RSDLite (v5.0) won't read some kind of .ini file. I have all the updated drivers, etc.

Great. After using this, my Xoom won't go past the boot screen.
It won't even boot into recovery. I can still access Fastboot and RSD.
Even after trying different unbrick solutions. Even after flashing back to HRI66.
Can't even get my Xoom to turn off now.

You may need the other cable to flash it in rsd mode. There is a special cable that looks exactly like the normal usb cable. It's wired different.

You may need rsd lite on your PC and USB drivers to do it with the stock cable.

Yeah.. That's what I'm doing it with. The stock USB cable included with the Xoom and RSDLite v5.4.4 with all the updated drivers.
My Xoom just sits there at the boot screen now, like I said, even after trying to flash back down to HRI66 afterwards to fix it.
I can still boot into Fastboot and RSD mode, but my Xoom stalls and doesn't enter recovery, even after trying another recovery img.
I thought I read something about needing a proper boot.img to go with the SBF file, but I even tried flashing AceXMachine's boot img and nothing.

So you guys haven't gotten this to work or are you just the lucky ones who had problems?

There is a stock version of sbf floating around that has 2 files in it one sbf and I can't remeber what the other one is. This is how they flashed ours for the 4g upgrade. It may be missing something. Can't the sbf be unpacked to the boot, system, recovery imgs? I read something along those linea in one of the dev forums. Not sure about that cable though. That's what worries me. It is suppose to activate something in the xoom so you can flash on rsd mode.

This is the issue I have. I do not have the official Xoom cable my dog ate it. Really it did. Looks like I will make a trip to Verizon and get one if necessary.

Yeah, I think you're talking about this one. I downloaded that (from a mirror, as that link doesn't work) and everything I read said the smaller file (the one you're talking about) wasn't necessary.
And I haven't seen anything about using a special cable to flash your Xoom with RSDLite. Everything I've read just says the stock USB cable with updated drivers, so I have no idea.

This should do it for you, however for good measure, I aways run a short script that unlocks, erases (boot/sys/rec/uda & cache partitions), flashes HR166 back onto the device & then relocks it. I know this is probably a waste of time; it just seems to SBF with less issues.
Here's the text out of the .bat I wrote:
(!!!Please bear in mind this will erase/format your device, so please make sure you have all personal data backed up.!!!)
If your system is already powered up and has USB debugging enabled you can remove the 1st REM statement & just execute the .bat file, otherwise reboot the device by holding down the volume up and power button > release both and then hold down the volume down button until the "fastboot" screen appears.
Copy the below text into notepad and save as a .bat file
REM adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
REM Press and hold the volume down button
pause
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot -w
pause
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
If you want to use this, you need to d/l the HRI66 build .img files from MotoDEV as well as having the
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
* you can also just REM out the fastboot commands that flash the HR166 image, so the device is completely blank and you can just load the HLK75D sbf via RSDLite, either way works........
** Remember after any OS flash, you should launch “Android recovery Mode” (press & release the down volume button after the red Motorola symbol appears when the device powers on) and reset the device to factory defaults.
Cheers,
Hat

That is the build number for our xoom. Why load the file if it can't be used to flash the xoom? There is something missing as to how it's done. I mean when the xoom came out they leaked an sbf file and it worked. This one just has to be unzipped first. Or does it?

Actually, another person in that thread said they flashed the file first, rebooted, then flashed the .SBF. So I'm not sure anymore.

Thanks a lot guy that worked and I'm now back in business. Meaning my 3G is now operational. Don't have 4G in my area but I assume it works now as well. My device was unlocked and when I go into network now it shows CDMA/LTE.

I did not have the official Xoom cable either.

Cwm recovery issues

Hey guys, i have a few weeks experience flashing and all that leet stuff, but it seems i have a problem! I started to modify my ATRIX on 2.3.4, i unlocked sim, rooted, unlocked bootloader, and flashed custom recovery. I played around with a few roms, then i decided to update my fw to 2.3.6, well before i could do that i had to undo all mods so i ended up flashing a stock 2.3.4 fw and upgraded OTA. Im pretty sure that was my mistake... i may have needed an unlocked 2.3.6 sbf.. i re-rooted, and flashed cwm with rom manager, now when i go to boot in recovery mode i get failed to boot 2 starting rsd protocol. Everything is fine i just need to know where i messed up and how to get cwm running again. P.S. ive also been having an issue with my camera! I open the cam app and i get black screen, factory reset does NOT fix! Ive seen post's saying that the module is bad if that does not work BUT, when using flashlight app the flash lights up for a sec and then shuts off. When i switch to front camera it will stop responding, i'll click wait and after a min it will show image and i can take a pic(only with front cam). If i could get both issues solved i would be very grateful! If any other info is needed ill be sure to respond asap! Thank you in advanced for reading and assisting with my issues!

Try unlocking bootloader again just to make sure ... Maybe that factory firmware closed hole on you when flashed.. Then flash cwm image ....

I had the same boot load error. You have to use 2.3.5 since you have already flashed to it once, you cannot back up to froyo.
Is your phone a boost or sprint?
Sprint can be flashed with either the sprint sbf or the boost sbf, But Boost can only be used with the boost mobile.
Reflash 2.3.5 and do a full wipe on the phone and it should fix the problem.

Is there a radio update in this?

A little help with this
So I flash this with keep data with no problem. I have a unlocked bootloader. I had twrp and was rooted. So I know I needed to reinstall TWRP. Well that seems to be my problem. I went out and download the lastest one. I must be doing something wrong at this point and just cant remember what I did before. When I boot the phone with the power and vol down. I then open the command promt and type the commands to flash twrp. My phone says it failed and then will only boot back to the same screen. I lose the whole phone. so then I start over and reflash this update to get my phone back up. I have tried this 3 times and have needed to reflash my phone each time. I know I am missing something here. Please point me in the right direction please.
It looks like it flashes but on my phone it says flash failure this is when I need to reflash over and over

Sounds like a bad download of twrp. Verify the md5 after redownloading it.

So I was trying to use twrp 2801. So I tried 2701 and it flashed with no errors. my phone went to reboot. I went back in and selected recovery to get twrp to come up. at this point when I select recovery my phone reboots and starts up normal. I can not go into recovery after flashing twrp 2701. atleast I am not reflashing the whole phone now. So your help got me this far any other thoughts? This is all I need to flash right? from all the reading I have done it looks this way, but I did read about a recovery flash but I thought this is what twrp is.
Update. I redownloader twrp2.8. there were 2 different files. I tried the second one and this time everything worked. it rebooted I went in to recovery and then exited. it asked me to root I said yes and all is good. I still wonder why 2.7 would not work.

lolol i was on vacation for a month

Thanks to everyone involved this saved my life in a major way!!!!

So, as was pointed out, these images that I got are actually one build newer than the OTA. (Oops). I'm going to leave them up but I'll be posting the proper build 23 images in a little while.

How the hell is that possible. I'm amazed we got an fxz before the update.

I'm not.

OP updated

So it appears I'm on 24 without knowing it...no issues so far.
Not sure if its worth flashing back.

Given that someone got 24 pushed to them today, I wouldn't.

I got a message from Matt on the moto forums wanting to know how I got 24 before it was pushed. I said nothing under penalty of death by samuri

Oh goodie. Yea, it's best to not mention things like this on the Moto forum. At all.

That's the weird part I never mentioned this forum or fxz. How he found out I don't know.

If you're part of the soak test they monitor your device. They know everything. Lol. As long as my name is kept out of their forum and people aren't stupid enough to mention leaked builds there it should be OK.
