[Q] Atrix wont boot

[devildogfarm]

I have searched all over the internet and have not found a problem exactly like the one i am having. My Atrix 4g will not boot. It will get to the Dual Core screen, but no farther than that. I can get to the menu by holding down the volume but and power button but when i select a menu option it does nothing. My phone was not rooted, it is factory with the lastest version on it. THe other day i pulled the phone out of my pocket at it was turned off. I wouldn't turn i so i plugged it in and that is when the problems started. Any help would be great! Thank you!

You might need to restore it to factory setting with an external method 'cause your phone wasn't rooted or unlocked. Search for the RSDlite method to flash the original rom. You will need to download a specfic sbf depending on the operator of your phone, but there's actually a post in the forum where they hold every sbf

No there isn't. SBFs have been taken down because they're too dangerous and using them often results in bricking the device. You'll probably have to look for SBFs elsewhere.

Is there any way to save the data on my phone?

 

[JPBeard21]

Doubt you can save data unless you can get it recognized through adb. Have you tried the other boot modes other than fastboot and rsd?

I tried recovery mode again and while the phone was plugged in it just said "Entering Android Recovery Mode" i unplegged it and the android guy with the explanation point showed up so i plugged the phone back in real quick (didnt want the battery to die.) With that screen i tried tapping in the lower right hand corner of the screen to access the menu, but nothing would happen from that point.

UPDATE: I was able to press both volume buttons and get into the menu. I was able to select wipe/factory reset buy pushing the power buttong. It is currently rebooting.... has been for several minutes..... Hope this works!!

i tried making a factory cable last night but, it didnt turn out to good..... Is there anyway to charge the battery enough, without the phone, to allow me to flash the device?

Would i be better off purchasing a factory cable off of ebay or something, or buying an charger to fully charge my battery and try flashing that way?
