[Q] Flash 2.3.4 using CWM - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I unlocked the bootloader of my atrix then I tried to install the new CWM. How do I know that I've installed the CWM correctly? Because now I'm trying to access the recovery but whenever I try to go into android recovery I just see an android and triangle with an exclamation point.

As far as I know, you do not have the recovery installed. Go to the right thread and post this. Tenfar's thread.
Sent from rooted Atrix on 2.3.4 with unlocked bootloader using xda premium app.

Same here. I installed CMW mod for Atrix already
"fastboot .... recovery... recovery.img"
But finally after Reboot, click "-" Volume and select Android Recovery, it navigated to triangle only.
Please help!

I have no idea where is this -- install_recovery.sh in /system/etc/. Sorry for being such a noob.

I would try flashing again. I flashed it via moto-fastboot and have had no problems.
[edit] not that it needs to be said, but those of you having problems ARE unlocked right? according to tenfars thread title this mod is only compatible with unlocked at&t bootloader.

Yes, unlocked displays in boot screen. But i lost sideload (install apk from unknown source) after unlocked. Is it the reason?

This shouldnt affect it. To my knowledge that only affects loading of 3rd party apks once booted into android, whereas the cwm recovery is flashed and executed before any operating system ever boots. I unlocked my phone, and immediately flashed the new cwm afterwards without issue, so again, i doubt this is the problem.

[Q] cwm recovery

i recently tried flashing cwm recovery on my atrix and when i did i got a error FAILED <remote: <00180002>> .... i was unlocked but soft bricked my phone and had to flash sbf 1.2.6 will this have any effect on this error? and is it because im not unlocked anymore?
make sure when you boot up the phone it says unlocked when trying to pu the new cwm
Your bootloader needs to be unlocked, if it isn't, it won't work.
I unlocked then flashed to 1.2.6 and I thought if u unloked once your always unlocked
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
yes and no it seems that flashing partially locks just reunlock once unlocked all you have to do is reflash the sbf no need to execute the comands again
I flashed the unlock sbf again and it says unlocked and it sucessfully put cwm recovery on my phone but I can't bott in cwm recover mode anybody no the problem?

Out of curiosity, are you using tenfar's custom CWM, or are you installing it from within the ROM Manager app? ROM Manager's CWM isn't fully working yet, so try tenfar's instead if you aren't using it already. Tell us how it goes.

I'm not really sure which one you mean; did you not use CWM to install Kenneth's 2.3.4? Did his distribution come with a CWM .img file? I haven't used it myself.
Anyways, starting from scratch, if your bootloader's unlocked, all you need to do is go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
And download this file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=641508&d=1309404399
Then download fastboot for Windows if you don't already have it:
http://diamantephoto.com/fastboot.rar
Extract all the files into one folder. I just used my Windows drive root (c:\) to make the commands easier to type.
Then open a command prompt (Start -> type "cmd" in the run box). Type the command "cd (whatever directory you stuck the files in)". In my case, I type "cd c:\".
Once the directory is properly selected, ensure your atrix is connected via USB, power it on while holding the down button, and once you see "fastboot" selected on the screen, press the up button, at which point you will see that the phone's ready to receive commands from the fastboot utility.
Back in the command prompt, type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img". After several seconds you should see confirmation of success. Once that's done, you can tell fastboot to reboot the phone with "fastboot reboot", or you can reboot it manually, once again holding the down button. Then, once "fastboot" appears again, press the down button seven more times to select Android Recovery, then press the up button. Voila, tenfar's CWM with blue text should have loaded up.
I apologize if I was unnecessarily verbose, but I wanted to be as specific as possible.
Thnks I will try
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
i did all that and the only thing that came up was the android guy with an !
So fastboot did report that it had successfully flashed the recovery file? If it didn't properly boot into CWM after that, I'm not sure what to tell you... Come to think of it, I imagine you'll have to have at least 1.8.3 for CWM to work properly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944
Get the SBF from there, and then try flashing CWM again after that.
It said "finished" and im already on 1.8.3
Figured it out
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I'm curious to know how you did it after all of the complications. Glad to hear that you got it.
Sent from my ATRIX running CherryBlur 1.2
how did you get it to work because i keep getting the little andriod with the !too.
restore fail
every backup i choose in cwm gives the error. it says restoring system ....... then error while formatting /data.
i tried wiping cache, data and dalvik but still no go.
any ideas?
cwm v4.0.1.4
As soon as you flash recovery reboot you need to immediately put in recovery you can't boot up and them do it...... I hope this helped

hey michaelatrix.
i think i understand. i moto-fastbooted an old version of cmw but then downloaded the latest verion from rom manager and it installed it.
so i will reflash to the old version and try it.
thanks
U have to have the most recent cwm to work

[Q] Rooted, but can't install clockwork recovery

After reading the comments from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614304, I decide to root my phone today.
I followed the tutorial on HTC dev to unlock hboot1.2, then downloaded HTC supertool v3, did prep and root, and it appeared the rooting was successful. I installed [Root Checker](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en) and it confirms that my phone is rooted. Then I went ahead installing ROMManager, from it, installed Clockwork Recovery, granted superuser permission, put CM7.1 ROM on the sdcard, reboot into recovery, met red triangle with exclamation mark, held power+vol_up, get the system recovery <3e> menu, tried to apply sdcard:update.zip (which is the recovery image for Clockwork recovery), but it complained "failed to verify whole-file signature"...
Have been stuck for a few hours, after much googling and retrying, not much luck...I wonder if the phone is rooted after all? Someone here suggested HTC supertool (which I used) but I didn't see Legend being one of the supported models. Also, all the rooting tools download links I found aren't valid any more.
Help is much appreciated.
EDIT: I think the rooting is successful. I installed a few root only apps from the Play store and they all worked.
Hi,
I faced the same sort of problem when I rooted and wanted to install CWM. My solution was to manually flash the recovery img file using adb. I'm on my phone now so its hard for me to get the link but if you search for the HTC Legend Cyanogenmod Wiki page there are instructions on how to do this
Sent from my Legend using XDA
If you've used htcdev to unlock you CANNOT use update zip, to go into clockworkmod recovery, You have to use the s-off method. This has been covered many times now esspecialy in the hboot 1.02 thread.
Just as a point of note, you can't flash recovery from the clockwork mod app, you have to do it manually via s-off method.

just put cwm recovery img in the same andriod folder that u use to unlock bootloader via fastboot and use fastboot to push recovery img and after that use cwm to install superuser zip from sd card, install titatium backup, it will say u are not rooted don't worry press 'problem' i TB and it will install busybox for u . that's it .Now u are rooted with cwm u can flash anything u want. Hope this hekps.
here's the link/instruction for the clockworkmod image to flash - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290841
as it was already said, use the s-off method

No, actually you don't just push recovery.img file you have to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img too other wise you can't boot into custom recovery.
please check the official clockword mod recovery thread for the compleat, correct method and command line string.

So I used fastboot to push cwm recovery and everything worked. I had the impression that i need s-off before doing that but it was fine with s-on. I flashed cm7.1 and now i'm typing this reply on my "brand new" legend. It gave the old phone so much life!

What it sounds like you are doing is pushing the update.zip to the SD card, this ONLY works with locked s-on bootloader what the op is talking about is hboot 1.02 s-on with unlocked bootloader, this is basically s-off function, bootloader will not load the update.zip file.

I have read all the instructions... Got root access also, installed clockworkMod recovery via the manual installation (s-off) method.. It is installed i can navigate through the clockworkMod recovery menu. However, pressing the power button to select a option brings me to a next page... No options, first i thought it was doing its job (wipe cach) however after a few moments i pushed the power button and i was in the main menu again. Also the reboot option or power off option it brings me to a triangle with mark and nothing...
Can anyone help me with this one?

Already tried that, the roms cant be flashed
are you using the recovery you had before you unlocked or you installed a different one after you unlocked?
I used the same recovery but now, i dont know why, cwm recovery has been replaced by LG stock recovery...
you need to flash a new recovery.. the one installed before unlocking isnt official cwm.. check and make sure you still unlock..
and how can I flash a recovery? I cannot boot my phone, and cant use fastboot
you going to need fastboot to flash recovery if its still unlocked.. if its Locked now than you will had to flash stock kdz files onto the phone and re-unlock it..
but when i type "adb reboot bootloader" in order to be able to use fastboot my phone reboot and stay stuck at LG logo and my Bootloader is still unlocked
im not sure but you might can try this fastboot way..

My device is rooted and I can install all apps which need root acces.
I now installed Flashify and when I click on "Recovery image" or "Boot image" it says "Partition not found".
And since I cannot boot into recovery I cant install anything via zip files...

use another method to boot into recovery
like ADB commands
Code:
adb reboot recovery
:good:
If your bootloader is locked, simply use [NUT]'s dual recovery.
If your bootloader is unlocked, install any 4.4.4 based kernel what has recovery built into it. I'm using AndroPlus as I'm running a 4.4.4 ROM as my main ROM.
Well there are severel apps which makes your device boot into recovery. None worked and I think the use the same method?

I'm assuming you are using [NUT]'s dual recovery? Did you install busybox before running the recovery installer? If not, install it, then run the recovery installer again. You will see the green LED when the device is showing the SONY logo before the waves bootlogo.

[Q] Not able to boot into custom recovery.

Hi Experts,
I unlocked the bootloader and then tried to flash custom recovery through fastboot (Using Minimal Adb and fastboot). When i try to boot into recovery i get "No Command" error with a android and triangle sign. So far i've tried flashing TWRP and CWM recovery and not able to boot in anyone though. I am able to boot into fastboot mode and normal reboot. In fastboot mode, its displaying my status as unlocked. I tried flashing TWRP 2.7.1.0 and some other versions and still not able to get through. I request you to please help me out to flash custom recovery. Thanks in advance.

"No command" is not error. It is screen which displays if you have stock recovery
What I'm trying to say is the custom recovery that you tried to flash was unsuccessful and you still have stock recovery.
And for questions use Q&A section not here(general section)
