How to Factory Reset the Motorola Atrix (Back to Stock)

Friday, May 4th, 2012

The Motorola Atrix 4G is still a very fast quality Android phone, the only issue is the fact that it bogs down bad after heavy use. After you have had an Atrix 4G for about six months to a year it would benefit you to do a factory reset. You can easily format internal storage but to actually get the Atrix 4G back to the condition it was the day you bought it you need to do a hard factory reset.

NOTE: This will completely wipe the entire device including all apps, photos, videos, etc. Backup anything you don’t want to lose before doing the factory reset.

How to Completely Reset your Motorola Atrix 4G:

1. Turn off your Atrix 4G
2. Turn on the Atrix holding the Vol down button
3. When you see fastboot at the top of the screen release the vol down button
4. Press vol down until you get to “Android Recovery”
5. Press power button to select “Android Recovery”
6. Once you see a yellow triangle press both vol up and vol down
7. Use Vol down to navigate to Factory Data Reset
8. Press Power to select then select Yes to confirm the same way
9. Wait for the process to complete and go back to the menu
10. Press power to select “Reboot Device”
11. Congrats once it reboots you will come to the MotoBlur screen!

If you have any issues please refer to the video above as well as leaving comments and questions below. I have completed this process more times than I can count and have never had an issue so its as safe as it gets.
