I am having a problem. I was trying to upgrade to Jelly bean 4.1 on this Atrix 4g. I tried to go through the steps that it gave online with the CM10 n Cyro and all. Long story short it couldn't find the rom within the zip or something of that nature. In other words, it screwed me over. I can't get back into recovery. It's been giving me this error:

SVF 108:1:2
Failed to boot 3
Starting RSD mode

Before it was giving me just:

Failed to boot 4
Starting RSD mode

I had tried reseting to factory through the moto-fastboot but of course it failed. I have been tryin like crazy to flash various SBF from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6. I was originally at 2.3.6 but for what ever reason when I try the RSD lite it gives me the error after it executes "Phone did no re-enumerate after RAM downloader was sent". (0x703e). I have been reading forums literally all day. Perhaps I am not understanding something therefore I am missing it but maybe one of you guys could help me out with this? Maybe there is a real simple fix or maybe I completely ruined it? Either way it would be nice to get some help on this. Basically when I was trying to upgrade to 4.1 I followed "How to upgrade the Atrix 4G to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean via CyanogenMod 10" off of the androidauthority website. I got to step 9 but it couldn't find the ROM, by then it was too late.

UPDATE: So I got just that and RSD was flashing it until it reached yet another error:

failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. Phone[0000]: error switching phone BP pass through mode (0x70BE); phone disconnected.

Help?

I'm no expert, you can wait for an expert response but what i couldnt understand is why you try to flash a SBF. The manual you refer to is a CWM based installation, with a zip file, not a SBF.

So do you have CWM recovery flashed? Do you have the related zip file downloaded to sdcard?

I don't have anything flashed at the moment. I can't boot into anything at the moment. I am confused perhaps with what will solve my problem.

Do you have an unlocked bootloader? Does the word "Unlocked" appear when you power the phone on? You must have an unlocked bootloader for sure. IF not, you must unlock it.

his is the guide you were following;
http://www.androidauthority.com/atrix-4g-mb860-android-4-1-1-jelly-bean-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-106639/
As said there, it requires unlocked, rooted Atrix with with ClockworkMod Recovery installed

I guess you can still unlock the bootloader and install cwm recovery. Just search and find instructions.

SVF: 108:failed to boot 3 starting RSD mode

Hi,
I have Atrix 4G AT&T, last night rooted it and from recovery mode install custom rom cm-7.2.0-olympus after reboot its not booted and showing "SVF: 108:failed to boot 3 starting RSD mode". Removing battery also not solve this problem, Andriod recovery mode also not working by pressing down volume key on restarting. RSD Lite procedure also not working for my phone. RSD Lite 5.6 or other versions (i tried most of all) also not deducted my phone when i connected to PC in Fastboot mode. I m new and have not to much information about software version of this Motorola Atrix 4G but before its bricking mode it was on Gingerbread 2.3.6.
I have also tried "cmd prompt" stock frame version and other procedures but all failed to start my Phone to normal.

Did you unlock the bootloader the right way?

ok so its telling you what to do. Since you haven't flashed a sbf, chances are you are not unlocked, so how do you expect to flash anything on a locked device?

Did you install motorola device manager for the drives?

But Moto Atrix 4G can me upset and sad.:rolleyes:
kindly help me to re-connect my self to the andriod world by this Motorola Atrix 4G, thanks

Were you bootloader unlocked before getting this message?
