Same thing happens to my atrix with any ROM. I always wipe and have the newest CWM but it still happens so Idk what the deal is. I installed nottachtrix 1.2.9b with the "press volume key to wake" hack and it hasn't done the eternal sleep thing. Although it still reboots from time to time so Idk what the deal is with that

Thanx for the helpful answer.

Am not totaly noob, but i asked this because there is no clear thread explaining that downgrading from stock 4.5.141 to any older versions will cause to brick your phone.
Many are saying that using the pudding will help. also other threads are saying downgrading from 2.3.4 with an unlocked bootloader will cause a brick.

Now am confused.:confused:

I just want to downgrade from a stock to a stock Rom, without unlock BL & without Custom ROMs.

If you have an idea, if downgrading from ATT 4.5.141 to an older SBF (ex. 4.5.91) Using RSD is possible without brick, please help.

Or any one can help?
Thanx.

Nothing about downgrade from 2.3.6

What i can understand is that i must only flash the version i am on (4.5.141) and can not flash (4.5.91), and i can do so only by unlocking BL and using fruit cakes.

Is That right???

Firmware Version: 1.31, JTAG Manager Version: 1.41
Selected Resurrector: [Atrix4G_MB860 V1.00]

Connecting to the target...OK
Set I/O Voltage reads as 1.80V, TCK Frequency is RTCK

Following devices are found on the JTAG chain:
Device on TAP #0: ID = 0x4BA00477, IR Length = 0x04 bits
Device on TAP #1: ID = 0x4F1F0F0F, IR Length = 0x04 bits

Test continue on Atrix 4G! Backups have been created from working model and currently working on writing data to hard bricked units. Solution expected to be available by next 10 days...
If you're not trolling and there is a solution, will we need another USB cable or will the stock be enough to bring it back?

You should know better than to question me trolling... ;)

Great news! By the way, will it be hard to solder a JTAG connector on Atrix?
Yes. The spacing is around .1mm but the most difficult part is removing the soldered on EMI shield covering the CPU and GPU. One wrong move will ruin the device for good if a resistor or the CPU/GPU are disturbed while removing the shield to access the pads...

Lol but what's the point if it's so easy to render it useless for forever? You think we'll ever get any support from Motorola for it?
