I had GladiAtrix installed on my Atrix and then I ran the uninstaller because I wanted to get the OTA update but when I click system update I get a message that reads:
"'com.android.settings.deviceinfo.CheckUpdate' is not available without a social networking account.
To create a new account, click 'setup' button"
Then I click the setup button and nothing happens.
Any ideas on what to do?
Please help!

Is there anyway to back up all my apps before the factory reset and then install them all automatically when its reset? Also I would keep root and CWM recovery right?
P.S.~Can I keep app settings after as well?
Use titanium backup, you'll have too have root, but out will keep your settings

I would have to have an external SD card to back up stuff on right? I'm guessing a factory restore would delete my internal SD card.

Define "lose everything". Factory reset will reset any user data, which means: all your customized settings including email and password, text/multimedia messages. It will also temporarily wipe out your contacts list and calendar, but when you enter your email and password again it'll automatically restore those. Google backs those up automatically.
Any photos and music and such will be stored on your SD card so those will not be wiped out.
There is NO other choice in order to bypass the lock pattern.
Apps will still be on there, just lose the apps' settings (reset to default).
If you have any concerns about anything else in particular just ask and I'll tell you whether it'll be safe.
Actually, factory reset deletes all of that apps as well. However, after initializing your phone after the first boot of a factory reset, when you go into the market the first time and go to the "downloads" tab, all of the apps that you had installed - free and paid - will be there. Install everything that you want back without leaving the market - only the paid apps that you did not install the first time will probably be there after that.
Can't you change the pattern with the gmail account?

Have you tried a flashover of your rom? Not sure if that will help though.

I installed the update yesterday and got the following problem:
After updating wireless is stuck and won't either turn on or off.. in settingsmenu on the wlan activate button it just says "error" in the second line. on push it says "activating" for some time the drops back to "error".
So my question: Does anyone have a copy or I don't know what of this update so I could try to intall it again? But I only want the original one..
Or if there's a way to correct it without installing the whole update again I'm of course open to.
PS: Moto Support just says Factory reset but there is upfront no way I am doing this without having tried anything else..
I had the same problem but not with wireless, with mobile data. Only thing that sorted it was a factory reset unfortunately. Not as bad if you use an app like app backup and restore and copy all of your phone storage to computer and back again after factory reset but still a pain

Thanks for the reply.
Do I remember right that you must be rooted to do a backup of phone data? Because then I'm screwed! Or is there another way or a software only running on the computer?
I wasn't rooted when I did it. I just backed up all my apps except system apps using app backup and restore, connected razr to PC in mass storage mode, copied the whole contents of the internal memory to my PC, did a factory reset, reinstalled app backup and restore, allowed non market apps in application settings, copied everything back from the PC, ran app backup and restore and reinstalled my apps. Note the order as back up apps are saved on the internal memory.
May be an easier way to do it though. I don't know if it would do the same with the motocast USB backup?

What do you mean with that? Why should I notice that and where can I see that (if I loke at it in explorer the apps are in alphabetical order..).
I don't know Motocast function but it seems pretty much more complex than just copy paste.. at least to me as I also never used it.
I did a factory reset, problem stays the same: error in wifi. Can someone provide me the update to flash it again and see if it helps? The only other way is to send to repair which I would not like to do..
I just flashed it on mine and everything went well. I think you might have to go to the recovery mode and do factory reset.
Good luck.

Can anyone make a nandroid with this update and upload somewhere(only need system)
Enviado desde mi XT910 usando Tapatalk
Did the update (from the other post) again, worked fine, but the problem with wireless still stays the same.. has anyone ideas how to solve?
PS: Could I try to flash an old OTA Update file in the same manner and then update again or wouldn't that work out?
Had the same error with my wifi a while back, but that was before the update. I went ahead and had the phone replaced because i was not able to get a solution.
no love for the nandroid?
come on guys.......

Did you get a new phone or what did they do?
I upgraded to this one through rds lite. But it doesn't seem as quick as the 651.167.19 upgraded to. 21 through moto cast.
Anyway to get back to that? Is rds safe. As in can i flash the .19 through rds without damaging my phone?
Many thanks.

Ok here it is, treat me gently as I'm no expert. I have currently running ICS 4.03 LPD + CF-Root. I first flashed 2.3.6, then jumped to Lp8 and now LPd and never have wiped my phone. I have a lot of unused apps and was thinking in doing it.
Question: Will I loose Root? or apps like CWM and such? What about the info in my external SD card? Anything else i must take into consideration?
thks in advance

You will not lose root or cwm manager as that is in the system apps. You will lose all the apps you have downloaded though. But if you have Titanium Backup, My Backup pro or Rom Toolbox, you can backup all your apps and reinstall them once you have rebooted.
[EDIT] Also wipe delvik cache when you do a data/factory reset.

Hello guys,
I need little help. I have rooted my phone as per instructions on youtube and upgraded to 4.2.2. but due to some reasons the OS keeps crashing on me. Also when i run root checker it says root access denied.
Now, I wish to factory reset the phone so that i can try rooting it again. Can anyone tell me how to do factory reset using CWM and will it wipe google play and stuff? I am ok with loosing data on SD card, its just songs and videos.
Pls help guys.

Bro, u need not factory reset your phone in order to root it. And if its saying root access is denied it means your phone is not rooted. U haven't mentioned if you have already installed CWM or you still need to install it, but if you already have, then doing a factory reset is very easy. Switch off your phone and go into recovery mode(power+ volume down button together for 10 secs), then it opens into recovery, u have directly select factory reset and press yes when asked for confirmation. It will reset your phone.
And if you do factory reset you won't lose any data from your SD card. It will be retained in their respective memories, unless specifically formatted.
You will lose all your downloaded applications and everything. You need to login into play store and download all the stuff again. If that's OK with you you can go ahead. If you want to save your applications and their data, then it would be good to use Titanium Backup application and backup everything before you reset your phone.
Hope this helped you. Don't forget to hit thanks

its for rooting, you just have to run a batch file.
Bro...if you factory reset, yes indeed all your applications will be reset to default. You won't lose Google play store. Its an application which comes in any android stock rom by default. What you are going to lose are the applications and games which you have downloaded from the playstore.
Hence in my previous reply I suggested to you to get Titanium Backup app from play store and take a batch backup of all your apps. Then you can reset your phone without any worries!
Hope this solves your issue. Happy to help

Hello mate,
i tried titanium backup but it wont work on my phone...kept saying it needs a rooted phone to work. anyways i am least concerned with the downloaded data from play...its imp apps like google play, radio and other such apps that i am concern with it...
Hey, this is the first time I'm posting a problem here. I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro (I8552). I rooted my phone yesterday via cwm recovery, and then made a backup using ROM Manager. It rebooted my phone directly into a backup page where it started backing it up, but my internal memory wasn't big enough so it failed and since then I haven't been able to boot my phone up... When I try to turn it on it goes straight into CWM Recovery page, and when I click "reboot system now" it turns off the screen and then reboots it again into CWM Recovery...
Then, since I couldn't access the apps (as the phone won't start), I made another backup through CWM Recovery, but this time in my external SD Card which had about 6 gb free space. So it made and completed the backup without any problems. But when I restore it from my ext SD Card it restores the system and stuff but then when it comes to data it shows the message
Error while restoring /data!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
. Every time.
And so I tried
wipe data/factory reset
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it does it, and completes the process, but still it won't boot up, neither by
reboot system now
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
nor by removing battery and trying to restart.
Mind you, I didn't flash any new ROMs, it was still running my stock ROM when this happened...
So to sum up the things I've tried
1. Reboot system now
2. Backup in extSD Card (which worked) and restore from the same (which didn't work)
3. Wipe data/factory reset
Also one more thing, before any of this mess was made, right after I rooted my phone, I made a backup of all apps through the app called
Titanium Backup root
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
.
Is there any way I can get out of this mess? And maybe make my phone accessible again.
And if somehow by sheer stroke of luck and your expertise, if I do get out of this mess, is there any way to root my phone again and recover the apps or appdata from the already made CWM backup? or the Titanium Backup I made (or is it gonna be gone because of the factory reset?).
Thank you in advance for any help or try you might

Yeah, but then will I be able to restore from the same backup (cwm) that's causing problems now, or will it not work even then?
And what about the backup I made with the Titanium Backup app, will I be able to retrieve app data from there?
Because the very reason I was backing it all up was to protect the app data, and it's pretty important. So is it possible to save it after stock flashing?
The stock recovery flasher will help u get out of that loop. Check the link posted above.

Thank you so much... the link worked like a charm. I flashed it through extSD card and it loaded and on clicking reboot it booted the phone right up. I had to go through the factory reset setting as I clicked it before. But almost no important data was lost. All photos videos and documents remained. And for better or for worse the whole thing actually made my phone a lot faster...
