I had same problem, i think that problem is the CM recovery image that is loaded in the last CM build...
I solved the problem extracting the FolioMod1.4 recovery.img from update.zip and flashing that in recovery partition on fastboot mode...
after that you must have the foliomod recovery and can update every rom...
Maybe when you flash the new rom and make the wipe... is possible that you must erase data and erase cache...
the Step by Step:
1 - extract update.zip from foliomod to C:\ or also you can extract update.zip from ClockworkMod that are also on this forum.
2 - take your folio and enter in fastboot mode: 3 times POWER + 1 time VolUP (DON'T CLICK POWER BUTTON 4 TIMES... THIS WILL BRICK YOUR FOLIO)
3 - connect via usb your folio to your pc.
4 - in cmd, you must go to android-sdk directory and then to tools directory.
5 - enter this command: "fastboot.exe"
6 - now you can flash with this command: fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery.img
7 - now you must exit... restart folio.
8 - now you must be able to flash every rom you want...
(I recommend the clockworkmod recovery because this recovery allow you to erase data and erase cache after the rom flash)

If your problem is that you try to flash foliomod and you get the exclamation and a not such file or directory error... you must follow the step by step...

One question though. I'm trying to restore my Folio to its original state for a possible warranty repair. I have installed CWM Recovery, and with CWM I installed ICS CM9 Alpha 5. Can I somehow using this file recover the original recovery aswell and not just the original OS? There is a file in FolioStock.zip\OpenRecovery\recovery.img , is this the original recovery?
If not, any idea where I could download the original recovery from?
I tried to reset my Folio to stock from Foliostock.zip and flashed the Open Recovery/recovery.img via fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) and erased everything cache, system, linux, userdata ("fastboot erase cache" and so on). Then put update.zip to sdcard and installed from original recovery. But every time I tried to boot to Android I got "Magic value mismatch". Tried everything, factory reset etc but nothing worked. Then did these steps and the stock works again.
3. fastboot -w
4. fastboot erase linux
5. fastboot erase system
6. fastboot flash system dexter-root.img (from Foliostock.zip or update.zip/cache/)
7. fastboot flash linux boot.img (from Foliostock.zip or update.zip/Open Recovery/)
8. fastboot reboot

How to solve Magic Value Mismatch. Solution Here!

Did you get the message: Magic Value Mismatch:-.-.-.-.-.-?!
After flashing a new recovery it happens sometimes.
GREEN ZONE
Are you able to go to the recocery menu(power + vol up)? If not, go to BLUE ZONE. If yes, follow these steps
1. check whether you have copied your rom as "update.zip" to your SD card's root directory
2. Go to recovery menu and install update.zip
BLUE ZONE
You may did something wrong while flashing a new recovery. Here is the right method:
1. go back to fastboot mode(power+power+power+vol up) and type these commands on your PC
2. fastboot erase userdata
3. fastboot erase system
4. fastboot erase cache
5. fastboot erase linux
6. fastboot erase recovery
7. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (change path, if recovery.img is not in the same directory as fastboot.exe)
8. fastboot reboot
Are you able now to go to the recovery menu? If yes, go to GREEN ZONE and follow steps. If not, go to ORANGE ZONE.
ORANGE ZONE
Are able to unpack the update.zip and find the system.img and boot.img files? If not, then go to RED ZONE. If yes, copy these 2 files to the directory where the fastboot.exe is, run these commands:
1. fastboot erase recovery
2. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. fastboot -w
4. fastboot erase linux
5. fastboot erase system
6. fastboot flash system system.img
7. fastboot flash linux boot.img
8. fastboot reboot
ROM is installed. Enjoy it!
RED ZONE
Make sure, that you copied the same recovery.img to fastboot folder, that you had flashed before to your tablet.
Type this command in recovery mode:
1. fastboot boot recovery.img
This command will run the recovery from your PC. After the recovery menu is booted, go to GREEN ZONE and enjoy your ROM!
If this was helpful to you, please do not hesitate to click on Thanks!
Lol, nice to see my post copy/pasted without any links indicated. Anyway, I hope It's helpful for ppl.
Tried following these steps, however, I'm still getting this error... followed this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470823

So you installed the recovery via fastboot. Did you manage to boot into recovery mode?
I had that issue, that I couldn't boot into recovery mod from my Folio, by pressing power+Up button. Thats why I added the RED ZONE method. Its like booting recovery from your PC. (fastboot boot recovery.img). All the times I wanna upgrade my current ROM, I have to do this step, because the power+up does not work, and the Folio skips booting in recovery and wanna do normal booting. However there is no Rom installed on machine, so I get the magic value mismatch message.
So try to boot recovery from your PC, but be sure you have copied to your fastboot folder the same recovery, that you flashed onto the tablet.
I hope it was helpful. If something is not clear, feel free to ask.
Hi there, thanks for the answer.
I am able to install recovery images via fastboot.
Device is showing up as a question mark with >fastboot devices

Are you able to wipe cache from recovery? And what else errors are listed?
One more thing, try to flash your boot.img and system.img via fastboot as written above.
If I follow this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458876
and let it install cwm v 3, I get the cache error and cannot wipe or mount via recovery.
If I follow the ICS thread, and flash the new cwm v5 via fastboot, I don't get the cache error, but the rom simply won't start. If I open the package, there is a boot.img, but not a system.img, just a system folder...
I could try flashing boot.img, but I don't see how that could help

Well just to see it clear. So you are able to install Foliomod 1.4, so your Internal storage is not broken.
When I get home, I will check the system folder of ICS rom. There are some method to create system.img from an unpacked folder...
So, in CWM 5.5.0.4 you manage to install Zip from SD card, ROM and GAPPS as well, but the Rom does not boot?!
yup, that's exactly it.
Haven't tried installing Gapps since I can't even get the rom to boot.
I have a perfectly working tablet with foliomod 1.4, and I did get honeycomb to run but some apps crashed so I reverted back to foliomod.
with CWM CWM 5.5.0.4 everything seems to work great, except at reboot, nothing happens (somehow, I no longer even get the magic value mismatch)
------------------
PS. not sure if this is at all relevant, but I cannot fastboot from win7, I'm fastbooting in either ubuntu or xp via VirtualBox, and the device, when calling >fastboot devices shows up as ?????????? (ubuntu) and ? (xp)... :\

Hmmm strange. I ask it for you on developers forum. What you can still do, is to check the steps, that you did them correctly. In most of the cases users forget something, or do some steps incorrectly.
Try to erase userdata, cache, system, linux and recovery in fastboot. You mentioned you had problem with fastboot under Win7. Problem may occur, in case of not proper erasing.
Thanks, I'll give it another try tonight.
Fastboot in win7 is simply not seeing the device. It shows up in XP and Ubuntu, but as "??????" - not sure if that could be a symptom.
I'll post a reply as soon as I've tried, and let you know how it went.

For me it works perfectly on Win7. After Installing SDK and JDK the in the devicemanager it is shown as an Unknown device. Simply add the driver manually to it.
Download driver from attachment.
Copy it to SDK\USB_driver folder
That works for me. After its done, the Folio is shown as "Fastboot" in device manager. But connect the tablet in fastboot mode to your PC before you add driver manually to it.
Thanks for that.
Tried it, still not working in win7. It shows up correctly in device manager, but fastboot itself just doesn't want to see it...
I've attached a screenshot for you
EDIT: screenshot gets resized, but it shows device manager listing
NVIDIA Android Fastboot Device
and a terminal with fastboot not seeing the device

When You have win7, You have run the console as admin!
Or copy the complete Fastboot folder to another Destination like c:\temp...
Thanks stefannsv, tried it, still not showing...
But I can access fastboot on another platform, so I assume it's not an issue, I can just switch over to another OS to flash
no go, followed both this original post (tried all steps except orange, cause the rom I'm trying to install has a system folder, not a system.img)
Last method I tried was:
1) boot into fastboot
2) boot cwm-recovery-5.5.0.4.img directly from PC
3) wipe data/factory reset
4) wipe cache partition
5) install zip from SD card and chose the alpha 4 release
installing update...
then back to recovery, reboot and voilà... magic value mismatch again (it had disappeared for a while... )
Also, when booting into CWM 3.0.0.5, I get a series of "E: Can't mount/cache/recovery" type errors.. could this be related?
booting directly into recovery from PC doesn't alllow me to install any ROMS, not even foliomod 1.4 which works if using puppet13th's method

[Q] Help required about Stock Rom of Atrix and its Installation.

Hi all
I am in urgent need of help to fix my Atrix 4G.
The Story:
I have an Atrix 4G. It was on 2.2.4 then official update came and I updated it to 2.2.6.
Then I was wondering about installing custom rom. This was my first time to install a custom rom. So I googled and found.
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398819
Neutrino ROM V2.9 [14/08].
So I rooted and unlocked my fone. My fone was successfully rooted and unlocked and I restarted it and there was Unlocked written on Booting Screen.
In this procedure I had to reset the phone so it was back to 2.2.4.
After that I downloaded the above rom put in in SD Card and Downloaded Recovery APK from market and it asked to restart the phone with power adapter plugged to start so I did the same. And recovery started. Then following the instructions I installed the custom rom and it was installed successfully it was my first time so I didnt took any backups unfortunately. So after installation the phone did'nt actually start. It was stuck on Booting Screen with Moto Logo.
So I again googled and started to find the solution some said restart some said remove battery some said wait I tried all but no result.
Then I tried to install the stock rom.Following this
Code:
http://androidforums.com/atrix-4g-all-things-root/510778-flashing-back-stock.html
When i start to run RSD lite it says Creating Image and then throws an error like Unable to send RAM files.
Now I want to fix my Atrix 4g and there is no backup and no recovery mod.
My fone can go into options like Fastboot and RSD Protocol Mode. I mean I can access options on pressing Power and Volume Up/Down buttons.
Can any one please tell me solution? I will be very very thankful.
In fastboot flash recovery

fastboot erase recovery
fastboot falsh recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Go to recovery mode, try to wipe data, cache and dalvik. If you have Neutrino rom on your internal SDcard you can flash it with recovery.

[Q] Sola bricked during flash of CM10: please help!

Hello
I was just trying to flash CM10 into my Sola
I unlocked the bootloader
I root it
Installed Recovery ROM
Made backup of current ROM
Wipe/Factory Reset
While flashing in Recovery Mode I got the error 7 message, so the instructions were to do the flash of the rom through flashtool
Flashed the rom through flashtool
After reboot, it's stucked on the initial "FreeXperia" image and it freezes there
I can enter in fastboot and flashmode, but I tried to flash again the "MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.ftf" firmware, but the only thing that changes is the "FreeXperia" colorful image to the standard "Sony" logo.
What can I do?! How come it doesn't boot?!
Please help.
Do following:
- Shut down your phone
- connect it to your computer in fastboot mode (with volume up hold)
- flash the boot.img which is inside the ROMs .zip
- Do your steps again (enter recovery, wipe etc)
I've flashed the boot.img of CM10 before.
Well, the problem is that I cannot enter recovery mode!
Only fastboot and flashmode

Yup that's it, but first flash boot.img from the rom with fastboot.
Don't expect the phone to boot because this kernel is not comoatible with stock ROM go strait to recovery, do whatever is needed (factiry rest, clear dalvik and cache etc) as instructed in it's thread, and fash the zip

Well, I still get the (Status 7) error. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
My only doubt is if I'm using the correct recovery. How can I know that?
My current recovery is CWM Touch v5.5.0.4 (modified CWM by Munjeni)
Honestly, I'm getting do reallly tired of this.
For 2 days I've been trying to install this ROM and I always get stuck with the /(&)(#$ "status 7" error.
Here is what I do step by step, so someone can point me in the right directions because, quite frankly, I just wan to throw this phone over the window right now...
1. After I get the "status 7" error I restore my rom backup, which brings me to stock ICS with unlocked bootloader and with root
2. I reboot in fastboot mode and, with Flashtool, I flash the boot.img I extracted from the "cm-10-20140113-UNOFFICIAL-pepper.zip"
3. I enter in recovery mode and wipe all the data/cache/delvik cache etc (I've also tried to do this BEFORE flashing the boot.img)
4. Still in recovery, I choose "Install zip from sdcard" and select the "cm-10-20140113-UNOFFICIAL-pepper.zip" (I've also tried to select this file without the boot.img file)
5. I get the status 7 error!!!!!!
Please help, as it is driving me nuts!
Redownload the ROM and try again. I'll give you a step by step instruction now:
- redownload the ROM and push it to your phones storage
- shut down your phone and connect it via fastboot to your computer
- Open the flashtool and flash the boot.img from the rom.zip via fastboot.
- after flashing, disconnect your phone from your computer, then wait some seconds
- Now power on your phone and enter recovery
- now you make a full wipe (wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache (advanced), format /system (mounts and storage)
- After the full wipe, try to flash the redownloaded ROM again
What exectly the status 7 is for, look at the log.
It fails right in the first assert line of code. I've also tried to remove the assert line, as suggested somewhere on the forum, but then I get a "Status 6" error. I'll try to re-download the zip file when I get home...

the assert n ro.product.device and ro.build.product? This should not happen with the recovery that comes with the ROM.
Well, that may explain it, as I'm not sure I'm using the correct recovery rom, as I didn't knew there was a recovery on this rom.
The instructions in the thread are:
Make a backup of your current rom
Wipe data/factory reset in recovery
Flash CM10 (If you get error 7 while flashing exctract the boot.img from the rom zip, and flash it via fastboot)
Flash Ultra Slim Gapps
Reboot & Enjoy!
So, I had to find a recovery ROM and that is what I did. So maybe that's the problem: I'm not using the correct recovery rom.
What can I do now to change it?

What recovery ROM, you only need to install thr boot.img from the ROM file.
What ROM are you trying to install(link)?
As stated in this thread, I'm trying to install CM10 (cm-10-20140113-UNOFFICIAL-pepper.zip).

Your recovery is probably missing those props and yould fail every time, you must use the recovery of the ROM.by flashint boot.img.
And I have asked a link for the ROM you dounload just to make sure it's props are OK, so I need a link.
If it don't let you post a link try to qrap it with code tags (the # button in thepost editor)

[Resolved] install cwm and rom with unlocked bootloader

Hi, I'm trying to install a recovery for my xperia u (st25i) and a custom room (cm-12.1-20150704-UNOFFICIAL-kumquat).
I'm a bit confused... is the kernel included inside the room or do I have to look for one with the cwm included. And how can I flash it using fastboot. I already have the room ready to install but since I don't have any recovery installed (I keep trying volume + or - while powering on and nothing...).
I supose the command is: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Not sure about how to flash the room.
I found this but it seems the link it's down...
I would appreciate a link to the CWM recovery and the commands to flash it and also the custom room.
Thanks!

Thanks for your answer. I was able to flash an old version of the CWM recovery, but I think I just fukd up... By mistake I zeroed the userdata/sdcard partition (using diskpart clean all), since then I cannot mount it in the CWM recovery: it always says "Can't mount /sdcard/", everywhere, trying to partition it, trying to factory reset... any option will give me that error. I already tried giving it format, fat, fat32, extfat... none works.
I tried some fastboot commands like erase userdata and so, and now I can't even mount the /data/ partition that I was able to mount.
But I'll try flashing it using the flashtool as you say.
Edit: Fixed! It seems the recovery from that kernel repaired the partitions and I was able to install the zip from there. Thanks!
