[Q] Softbricked Motorola Atrix 4g

[JCNouel]

Hi, I need some help with my smartphone. This was my first try to change a ROM, I did a lot of things... What I remember is that I downloaded the ROM and I tried to install it with the Stock Recovery (I did the "Wipe data/factory reset" and "Wipe cache" then the "Install update from zip")...I did'nt have the phone unlocked at first... Now the phone doesn't go further than the motorola logo. I've tried a lot of fixes and I can't get it done, I got the bootloader unlocked after, and after that I could install a nice recovery (It was really hard) I really don't know where it got bricked. I've downloaded some sbf files but none of them worked and some "automated fixes" but still did'nt work.

AT&T version
Was running on GingerBread 2.3.6

Thanks in advance

do you get the white text "unlocked" at the top left of the screen while you turn on the phone?
If you have a custom recovery you can flash any rom you download from the dev section.

Yes, and i've tried as you say to install a ROM but it fails. I tried to install CM7 (The last version, a nightly) and Atrix-MROM... Oh and is there a difference in flashing and installing a ROM?

No flashing is installing a rom, can you elaborate more on the error you get (if you get one)?
what recovery are you using (twrp, cwm, ...)

When I turn on my phone I don't get any error it just stucks on the logo screen, sometimes when I try to install a ROM I get that the file doesn't work or something like that but right now I tried again to install Atrix MROM and according to the recovery it installed succesfully, but when I reboot the cellphone to see if it works I get the same thing it won't pass the logo screen. The recovery that I use is one that has some chinese green words and it say "goapk.com" it also says on the top "Atrix 4G Recovery v4.0.0.2 GOAPK.COM" (It's not the stock recovery) and the options are in blue... I tried to instal CWM but I couldn't, I never saw it, it never worked, so I got that one from an automatic script. I'm sorry if didn't helped enough, just ask me anything that you want to know. I apologize for any typo I'm from Dominican Republic english is not my native language. Ohhh And the last time I tried to install a sbf with RSD Lite (It had like 500 mb) and after all the process fiinished It said "Fail. The pone did not re-enumerated..."

Thanks for replying

ok let's try to install cwm. I hope you have the fastbootdrivers installed
copy moto-fastboot.exe to download folder
then download this file.
then open up a cmd window (type it in start menu and open)

cd %userprofile%/Downloads/
moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.8-olympus.img
moto-fastboot reboot

hold down the volume button while it is rebooting
then select recovery by pressing the volume down button untill it is shown on your screen en select it by pressing the volume up button

let's first see if this works

Now I can't flash it... -_- I get the error "The phone is to low to flash" and I can't get it charged, I'm seeing if I can charge it.

try turning the phone off, pull the battery out.
Then connect the charger to your phone (use a wallsocket, not usb from pc) and after a few seconds insert the battery, let it charge for a couple of hours
If that doesn't work i think you need to use someone else's battery or charge yours with another atrix.

Hi, sorry for the time, I got it charged and I did as you said, now I have the CWM Recovery v5.8.1.8

What should I do now?
