[Q] Q: how to stop update-reboot-loop in atrix 4g?

---

hi guys,
my problem is that i unlocked my bootloader with nandroid/www.goapk.com's recovery, an after AT&T's OTA push from v2.3.4 to v2.3.6 i am stuck in a "boot up, shut down for applying update, stuck in update process, take battery out, restart, boot up, auto-shut down for applying update...." loop...

now i know that "somewhere" in android is a batch command to automatically shut down and apply the patch.
HOW AND WHERE can i prevent the automatic shutdown after boot-up, so i can fix this mess myself ?

thx-a-thon in advance
cheers

I am in the same mess.

Update: Reboot into recovery format the /cache partition and back to normal again.

Same problem here. Any fix?
EDIT: I think I'm going to try reflashing stock 2.3.4 via fastboot, then flash the stock recovery (I heard CWM is what's making the OTA update fail), and then try the 2.3.6 OTA again.

Ok, I managed to fix it without flashing anything. If you've got CWM recovery installed, boot into it and clear both caches. That fixed it for me.

awesome!!!!
the trick with deleting both cache's worked! wiped dalvik cache and "wipe/reformat cache partition" in my nandroid recovery. if you got a donation button i will send money your way for a beer :D

Nah, it's cool. Keep your beer money

Just pass on the solution to anyone else having issues.

Running aurora on my atrix and was stuck in the same situation after I finally got tired of the update popping up and decided to let it try and fail. I got stuck in the same cycle of boot, restart, fail update, take battery out, over and over (of course trying other things.. not insane)

Wiping cache fixed the problem. Phone rebooted and I got a message saying the update failed and to try it again, no more annoying push.

Thanks guys.

Hi Guys,

Please give me step by step procedure.

1. I did system update.
2. Phone has restarted and i'm getting aopk.com image.

I tried even removing the battery and inserted again. from this thread, I have inferred that clearing cache will work. Please help me to clear the cache and help me to bring back my mobile alive.

Thanks in Advance!

Srirammobile: please provide details, rom, bootloader locked/unlocked, rooted?

you'll need cwm recovery for atrix to be able to resolve things with less hassle. Search the dev section for the proper romracer cwm image.

Hi, I am having the same issue. Can you please tell me how to wipe both the catch? I have rooted Atrix 4G and ROM manager installed. Yesterday I got OTA update and after downloading the update when phone restarted then it stuck at 'failed to boot 2 starting rsd mode' message. Pulling the battery boots the phone again but it restarts again and this is happening in loop. After phone restart I am getting only a little time to open any application.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
