[Q] No fastboot menu on Atrix (when pressing power on and vol down) topic

Hello,

I've searched for an answer but no luck as yet, hence posting.

I am following the instructions to flash CM onto my Atrix using an Xubuntu computer. However, I cannot get into the 'fastboot' menu on the device itself (pressing Power on + Vol down). I have a YouTube video of the problem, but I can't post links to external sites as less than 10 posts.

Incidentally, pressing Power on + Vol up does take me to the correct 'Starting RSD protocol support' menu.

Here's the instructions that I've been following:

Unlocking the Bootloader with sbf_flash (Linux & OS X) You will need fastboot on the computer to unlock the bootloader of the Motorola Atrix 4G. Follow the Android SDK guide, to get fastboot on the computer. Download sbf_flash and the appropriate unlockable bootloader: sbf_flash: Download AT&T Atrix 4G Only: Unlockable Bootloader: Download md5: a5da47565160e0f95b84a1e769b9028b International Variants Only: Unlockable Bootloader: Download md5: f609dbc4c5842f9654e44a1980375100 Unzip the sbf_flash zipfile. Unzip the bootloader and place it somewhere easy to access. Power off the Motorola Atrix 4G. Boot into RSD Protocol Mode by holding down Up Volume and the Power button. Connect the Motorola Atrix 4G to the computer via USB. On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands: chmod +x sbf_flash ./sbf_flash <SBF File name here>.sbf It should take a few minutes to flash the unlockable bootloader, and the device may reboot multiple times. Once RSD lite reports that it's finished (or appears to be waiting for the device even though the device is booting into android), the device should be powered off. Pull the battery and power back on while holding the Volume Down button. Once you see the bootloader screen with some text options, cycle through the options using the Volume Down and select "Fastboot Protocol". If your device has "fail to boot" message, try to pull the battery and power back on while holding the Volume Up button.<<< This is where the problem occurs
