Hey guys,
I usually hang around atrixforums so im not to active here but im so grateful for the knowledge I acquire when I visit. I have Kenneth's 2.3.4 ROM installed, I have written a tutorial on how to do it, and i have helped multiple people do the same so know what I am doing.
I was helping someone and after installing the latest CWM recovery I had him boot to android recovery and he got the android robot caution symbol screen. I tried to have him redownload the img file and re flash it in case there was a problem but now he got a Flashing STORMgr partition: SOS. Is this because I didn't have him delete the install.sh file (I know that isn't it, you know what I mean)?
My ideas were to do:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery cwm.img
fastboot reboot
Not sure of if the phone would boot without a recovery if the install didn't work again for whatever reason because I don't know how the recovery works. Would this be a good idea?
Or would I be better off rooting and deleting that install.sh file and install cwm again?
Thanks guys, I appreciate the help.
I had the same exact problem, and yes you do have to delete that old recovery file. I had to go buy root explorer in order to find the file on my phone, but it was worth it. CWM is a very frustrating, yet required step, in all atrix development.
Good luck.

That's what I thought would be safest. Just wondered if my fastboot idea would be a shortcut, so I don't have to root to delete the file. Oh well, good day sir

I recently unlocked the bootloader and rooted the HTC Jetstream. I wanted to change the apns.xml file in the framework-res.apk. It's been awhile since I've done anything with an android device and I forgot to install CWM. I was in a rush and had done this a few times so I didn't think anything about it.
Now the tablet is stuck in a bootloop. I can get to HBOOT and therefore Fastboot, factory reset, etc. I even ran the factory reset but I'm still stuck in the bootloop. I came across this link so I could download a "stock" ROM, but the instructions call for CWM which I don't have. I was hoping that I could flash this ROM with Fastboot, but since I've never done this I wanted the opinion of an experienced Android user.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Can you get ADB to recognize you tablet at all?

Unfortunately no. I think maybe the factory restore took away the USB debugging.
But since I have access to fastboot, I think I can flash a new system.img correct? And since I downloaded the "stock" ATT ROM it has the system directory. Only it isn't a system.img file.
I found another link that says this to create a system image like this:
sudo mkfs.cramfs temp/ system.1.5.img
sudo umount stock-system
sudo umount temp
So if I was to do this could I then flash via fastboot like this?
fastboot flash system system.img
Thanks for your time
Solved
My Jetstream is now back to normal. I used the information in this post.
Once I downloaded the files from the link I had to plug the tablet into my PC and put the it in fastboot mode and relock the bootloader "fastboot oem lock". The tablet turned off and I had to put it back into HBOOT mode. Run the .exe file that came with the download. Here I ran into a little trouble because the .exe file couldn't find my device. So I had to reinstall the drivers. After that just follow the prompts from the .exe file and I was good to go.
I’m extremely new to the Android community and I did do a lot of reading on how to unlock, install a recovery, and install ICS on my HTC Rezound. The problem I’m having is that I found an ICS ROM to install. I downloaded it, renamed it PH98IMG.zip, installed it onto my SD card through Clockworkmod Recovery, I then tried rebooting into the bootloader to get the zip file installed, but this is what happens in bootloader:
SD Checking…
Loading…[PH98DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading…[ph98diag.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading…[ph98img.zip]
And there’s a vertical progress bar on the right side of the screen that fills up, but then nothing happens after that. It goes back into the bootloader screen. Now my phone won’t startup at all, I get stuck at the HTC white startup screen. I can get into bootloader and Clockworkmod recovery, but nothing else works.
If anybody can please help me with step by step instructions I would really really really appreciate it. Thanks.
I should also mention that I followed a YouTube video on how to install ICS on my Rezound (I can't post a link of the video b/c XDA website won't let me).
The video had me unlock the bootloader, install CWM recovery, and install something called Ineffabilis-Deus-v1.0.1-Odex.zip. Everything up to this point worked just like the video (which is point 3:30 on the video). After that, nothing else worked.
I've ended up formatting the SD card from CWM recovery so now there's nothing on the SD card. Not even the PH98IMG.zip file. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!
If you still have ADB set up after you unlocked, here's whatchya do.
1. Unzip the P98 file.
2. Move the boot.img into your ADB directory.
3. Plug your phone into your computer.
4. Run CMD as administrator and type in the following commands
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Should work just fine after that. :good:
And I really hope you are at least using the modded CWM recovery from this post and elsewhere, you'll have issues if your phone fully drains otherwise:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27517554
Worry about reflashing recovery on its own after you get the ROM up and running, just be sure you keep the phone charged. And consider AmonRa or TWRP recovery.

My Rezound has the exact same screen when going to the bootloader. I tried so very hard to avoid this but it must be done, I have to ask for help. I have no idea how to fix this phone. When trying to boot it gets all the way to the 4GLTE screen and stops, forever.
This phone is rooted with an unlocked bootloader, S-On, using Hasoon2000's AIO. It was working fine up until I did something stupid and loaded Motioncoding's Beats audio installer. (In case you're wondering I did this in an attempt to have the Beat's audio function while using Pandora, unfortunately this stopped the stock music player from functioning with headphones, I'm and idiot, I know...)
The problem occurred once I tried to uninstall the beat's audio installer using Root Browser Lite and deleting the system files they specified in the instructions. Apparently I deleted one to many and upon restart this is where I ended up. I have tried numerous fixes but the problem I keep running into is I cannot get access to Android via a USB connection on my PC. I still have access to the bootloader and to Clockworkmod Recovery but that is it. If someone can explain to me how to fix this it would really make me feel better and I promise I will never try to do something this stupid again. Thanks.

Did you create a nandroid backup as recommended before trying any new mods? If not, reflash your rom in recovery/boot.img in fastboot, with only a system wipe. If so, restore your nandroid, if you don't boot then reflash a proper boot.img in fastboot.
Yeap snuzzo is spot on. I just wanted to add that it's not a big problem at all, not even something to stress about. We will help you get it fixed up. If you have the vertical loading var, there's a PH98IMG.zip file on the external sd card that you need to delete.
Since it was mentioned in the quote, make sure you aren't running the official clockwork mod recovery. Either run amon ra or fly halfs custom clockwork mod

be sure you type these codes in CORRECTLY via fastboot.
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
be sure the recovery image is in the same directory cmd/terminal is in. also make sure to replace recovery.img with the name of your image file if different. does it transfer correctly? do you have an unlocked bootloader for sure? not just root?
I figured out what the issue was. I knew that it was running the install_recovery.sh while booting, but I didn't realize it was putting the deleted file back as well. I basically had to flash recovery and then boot right in to recovery (which some of these tutorials said otherwise)
Now it all works!
Just curious, did you look at the Photon Compendium? It covers the issues you were having.

Yes I did, however again like I said, even the compendium simply ends with you doing a reboot. To someone who just started with modding his phone, it would have been nice to have it say "DON'T LET IT BOOT IN TO THE OS!" I let it fully reboot like 4 times before I flashed the recovery and then went right in to recovery. That's when it finally worked. Every time it booted back in to the OS it recreated the file that was braking the recovery.
I did my homework, and it still didn't work as described. Even in the video showing me how to install the version of CWM I'm now using, he boots it all the way in to the OS after flashing the recovery and it just worked. This however wasn't the case for me. Maybe my phone is unique (doubtful).
The very first step in flashing CWM in the compendium...
If install-recovery.sh file is in system/etc then ,using root explorer, rename to install-recovery.sh.bak .
so hey guys. just got an evo, and did the regaw root method where it unlocks the loader using HTcunlocker. and it also installed the twrp. i downloaded the cm10 zip and threw it on a sd card.
I put the sd card in, and went and booted into recovery mode... all good. locate zip on the external sd card, and when i try and install it, it fails first step... any suggestions what to do.
I read around and noticed you need s off to do anything that has its own kernel.
seems my hmode is like 1.5 or something so i cant do the s-off. I need to downgrade it. No problem.
bad thing is in the recovery i went to do a wipe facory reset, and now when i try and boot to system it says NO OS found! haha i power it down and back on, and it says no os found!
I cant use an RUU or downgrade tool because i cant boot up and into debugging,
i know you clever people can help me out a bit, right?! i miss my epic 4g slider
EDIT STILL NEED HELP please and thank you in advance
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869377
Pay attention to the S-On part of that article. You have to flash the kernel separately with S-On. Also there is now a method of downgrading in order to achieve S-Off. It can be found in the original development subsection.
it seems like i downloaded a RUU with 1.3, but the problem is, it says it cant connect to the phone. i didnt install any drivers or anything. so point blank, since this was a newer phone, I need to download a livecd of linux in order to get this thing to boot to anything other then the white htc screen or twrp?
You need to get into twrp by holding power and volume down . Once there wipe everything except storage. Then mount USB and copy/paste a Rom from your pc to your phone. Pull the boot IMG first and place where your adb/fastboot files are.
Flash the Rom, when its done boot into bootloader from recovery and then fasyboot flash the boot IMG
There are detailed instructions on how to do these steps all over XDA
Hope you get it up and running
I don't know if you need those drivers you talked about. If you wanted to be sure about having the correct drivers you could install HTC sync on your pc.

ok so go into twrp. then from my rom zip file, youre saying to pull out the boot.img and place in the fastboot folder (not sure)
then flash the whole zip file of the rom (with or without the boot.img that i copied) and then you say boot into bootloader and than fastboot flash the boot.img? im kinda lost right there
So As i just woke up and ready to try again with this bastard phone, can you link me to something stating how to actually flash a rom using s-on htcunlock? or just how and where you put the boot img and where the fastboot folder is etc.
Best thing to do probably is read om4's guide in the Q&A section. Its stickyed or maybe download flash image gui. The app explains the process. Its any easy solution for s-on folks.
Sorry i cant explain in detail how to fastboot flash the boot img but all the info easily found on xda.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
So when i try to send the image using fastboot, i do fastboot devices, and then i try and send. it says sending, but will stay there infinitely. I cant find a thread that talks about it locking up during the file transfer
Maybe I'm missing something here but couldn't he put a rom like meanROM ,that has the s-on kernel installer built in, onto his sd card (assuming he has one) and install it from TWRP just so he has a working phone? Then he could properly research how to get CM10 installed and running.
Hi all,
So I have an AT&T Atrix, was previously running 4.5.91 and I successfully unlocked the phone and had it booting. Like a total moron, I forgot to do a backup, and after attempting to flash CM7 onto it, the phone now stays at the boot logo and won't go any further. If anyone has anything they can do to help me, I would so appreciate it!
Thank you!!!
Edit: I know I need an SBF with pudding to go back to, but I'm having issues finding the proper one. If that's all I need to fix it, a link to the proper one would be appreciated.
Have you used one click recovery for unlocking, if yes then most probably the tenfar recovery that came with the one click root program is the culprit. Just flash rom racer recovery through fastboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
If you want an easier option, run the one click root program and select the option which says install cwm recovery. After that boot back into recovery and flash twrp recovery from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961707, after that reboot and flash the CM7 rom. You can also flash CWM touch recovery the same way as TWRP link to it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475444
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to know. It worked perfectly!
