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

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 am using the one that came with kennethpenns 2.3.4

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

I decided to update to 2.3.4 after using froyo with the latest gingerblur. I read that i can update straight from gingerblur to 2.3.4, I wish I didn't lol. I followed this guide and got up to step 2 with no problem. Then I got kind of confused, since I already had cwm on my phone I just put this on my sd card and booted into tenfars cwm recovery using the system recovery app. I then selected the gingerbread update and it seemed like it installed just fine but when I rebooted I got up to the green motorola gingerblur screen and it would turn off and turn back on. So I then tried to flash back to 1.2.6 using rsd lite which failed.It still only gets up to the green motorola gingerblur screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone know how I can get my phone back into working order and properly install kens 2.3.4 rom? The bootloader is still unlocked.
Do you have the new cwm? If so you can flash the 2.3.4 from kennethpenn . If you don't have the lastest it wont work. Fyi the lastest is install with fastboot did you do this? Let me know .

Fastest fix is to fastboot htkw build of gingerbread then flash to the one from kenneth.
have you ever used fastboot? if not i will walk you though it.
1st go download the htkw build http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VLAKXBB3
Fastboot files for u http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138092 choose if u have
32 or 64 bit
2st make sure the moto-fastboot or fastboot (they both work i have tested )file is in your c:\
you have to cd the drive first so make sure its in c:\ .FYI make sure all the files are in one folder not the root drive
so name a folder (whatever) then cd that folder from cmd.
Dont use " " just showing you commands
one at a time and wait for them
Then go to cmd
"cd c:\moto-fastboot"
click enter
then type
moto-fastboot flash boot atrix-2.3.4-hktw-boot.img
then
moto-fastboot flash system atrix-2.3.4-hktw-system.img
then
moto-fastboot -w
click enter
Should say writing\sending
Once your done and it completes
type moto-fastboot reboot
enter
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
It says "moto-fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
edit: nvm downloaded the wrong one lol
Lol I think everyone does that first time ,after you get it back where you can use it. Flash cwm. Then we will go over how to install the good gingerbread.

lol I believe the reason for that is because the images in the zip weren't made for CWM, but for fastboot. If your fastboot isn't working, make sure you're using the new, updated fastboot from Motorola. Here is a link to it. The files included are for Gingerbread, but I would stick with the Safe update from Kenneth Penn. If anything, just use the Automated Upgrade from here. To use this, try downgrading to 1.8.3 using Fruit cake (don't risk using the SBF on your unlocked bootloader. Might end up with a fancy brick.)
Oh, and before you do anything, BACK UP. =] Friendly reminder =D
Happy upgrading!

This happened to me too. Please help.
This same problem happened to me. I'm brand new to this device. Just got it a few days ago. I think I managed to get the bl unlocked and got it rooted. Then I flashed gingerblur and everything was still okay. But when I tried to flash the latest alien build I got that same bootloop as described in the first post. Then I tried the solution in post #4. And it failed. I saved all the commands I entered and their output if that helps. Right now Im stuck at a screen that says "failed to boot 4" followed by "starting rsd mode". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Im a little scared
Can I root wirelessesly? I ask because my phone is fc ing on a lot of apps and after I flashed this last rom I lost my recovery...? It wont let me boot into recovery to flash a backup so I was hoping to root , install rom manager, and flash cwm recovery and do a full wipe restore.
If there are any other suggestions im all ears because im out of town until Friday morning and can't install anything on my work cpu or I would install fastboot etc.

Im worried my phone will explode over night...lol
I don't understand how you lost your recovery without root... and you would have to be unlocked to write to the recovery partition, yes?
Find a windows computer that you have admin rights too, download the Motorola Drivers and Fastboot.
Presuming you are unlocked:
Boot your phone to Fastboot mode by Powering off the device; pressing the power button and depress hold the down volume key until a little words say RSD something; then use the down volume key to navigate to Fastboot; then press the up volume key.
Then connect the device do the computer and reference this thread to install a new CWM recovery.

This last time I flashed, something must have been left inside the phone that the current rom did not like.
The rom itself is supposed to be rooted and unlocked the phone itself is still unlocked, but superuser permissions won't be granted to any application and when I try to enter android recovery it seems like it's going to work but all it does is boot the phone back up without the radio working.
I have ben trying to find a cpu for 3 days now so I can do just that. I'll be home tomorrow and should be all good.

Have to ask this as I'm completely new to android and installing new ROM's...
The instructions for a certain rom say: Reboot to bootloader to flash PH98IMG.zip if you were identified as S-ON.
Does this mean to let the bootloader preform the "update" it's found? Because it seems to do this automatically when I get into the bootloader....
thanks for helping!

I have never flashed a rom by flashing the PH98IMG.zip because for some reason it hasn't worked for me, maybe i just did something wrong.
What I do instead is extract the rom .zip on your computer. Then, put the boot.img file into the platform-tools folder in the android sdk (assuming you already have the android sdk installed). Then, flash the rom, then power the phone off, then press and hold power+volume down to boot into hboot. From there you select fastboot. At the top you should see fastboot usb in the red box. Then, type into command prompt or terminal (for mac) fastboot flash boot boot.img After that, just reboot and the new rom should boot just fine.
Idk if you have a mac, but this is the tutorial I used to download and set up the adb with my macbook. Its very easy, if you have windows, im sure you could google instructions.
When you put the ROM on your sd card, extract the boot.img and put it in a ph98img.zip file. Install ROM, go to bootloader and it should ask you it update. Update and you're good to go. Keep in mind I don't like using command prompts

To add onto that, depending on how you get to the bootloader, it may boot into fastboot initially. If so, just hit the power button on the BOOTLOADER option and it will do the rest.
I've read that the only way to flash a kernel with s-on from fastboot is you have to use adb. I guess when you reboot the bootloader from adb you gain access to the recovery partition but if your s-on just booting into the recovery doesn't work. I've decided to stay s-on (personal preference) and flashed multiple kernels with the zip. But back to your question is yes let the update go through and the kernel should be installed.

FINAL EDIT: My problem has been solved. I kept trying the RUU.exe method over and over until it finally worked (more info in my last reply).
EDIT: My only issue now is that I cannot select "Mount data" in the Mount menu within TWRP recovery. Also, even when I have "mount system" and "mount cache" selected, I get an "Unable to mount system" or "Unable to mount cache" when I try to factory reset, wipe cache, install a ROM, or sideload ADB a ROM
Hello everyone. After recently purchasing an HTC DNA, I used the "HTC Droid DNA AIO Kit" to unlock the bootloader (HTCDev + unlock code), root the phone, and load TWRP recovery. From the recovery menu, I flashed the Viper custom ROM. I noticed some wifi problems, so I wanted to go back to stock to see if the problem (couldn't connect to wifi) was still there. The dumbass that I am used the "Wipe System" ("This will wipe your ROM") option within the recovery hoping it would boot back into stock. Obviously that didn't work (and has started me down a horrible path to bricking). I tried re-flashing the viper ROM, and half way through the setup it would reboot and stick on a white "HTC" screen. Every time. I googled and tried the RUU.exe method and got 155 error "Wrong RUU version" or whatever. I tried flashing the RUU.zip stock ROM using the All-in-one kit. No luck (error in command prompt saying "too many links"). I don't know what to do I just need to get back to Stock ROM, or anything similar that can help fix my situation. I appreciate all of your technical expertise and any help you give! I can provide more information about my phone and setup and version and such. I realize many of you will cringe at my methods, and I apologize for all of my stupid errors.

did you do flash boot.img image file before the rom? if not, flashing that then reloading your desired rom might get you back.
if you can still get to recovery you can use the sideload option and try flashing a rom that doesn't use the aroma installer.. there are a couple stock roms in the development section.

If the kernel you flashed also came with it's modules.zip then you have to also install the modules .zip file from recovery. If the kernel came with the rom then the modules are probably already installed with the rom.
To flash the kernal manually (which is more reliable) use the following command:
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
make sure the boot.img is located in the same folder as the fastboot.exe file.
If you're on Windows 7 you can hold the SHIFT key and right click while in the folder containing fastboot.exe and select "Open command prompt here" to make sure you are in the right folder in the command window. Not sure which other versions of Windows lets you use that shortcut.
DSB is also correct that you have to lock the bootloader if you want to use RUU.
I think the bootloader lock command is (must be at bootloader):
fastboot.exe oem lock

Thank you for the reply. I used the HTC Droid DNA All-in-one program to flash a stock boot.img file BEFORE flashing the ROM. No luck. I have since been able to adb push a stock ROM, but when I try to wipe the cache or install the ROM.zip file using the recovery (TWRP) I get a "Unable to mount /data". When I go into Mount settings within the recovery, I am unable to select "Mount data". I can only check "Mount system" and "Mount cache". Any ideas?
Also, I did relock the bootloader (It says "***Tampered*** ***Relocked***) using the same All-in-one tool. I have also tried flashing Clockwork recovery, but I get stuck on the "HTC This is only for development purposes legal blah" white screen, so I have reflashed TWRP. I ran both the RUU.exe (relocked bootloader), and tried flashing the RUU.zip method. Thoughts?
I will try doing all of my previous methods manually (through command prompt, without the All-in-one tool) when I get home (as you said, it is more reliable).
Thank you so much for the help you guys!

If you are flashing stock RUU -the bootloader has to be relocked for it to work....
In general each rom other than that usually has it's own boot image which has to be loaded first before the rom is. Usually downloadable from where the rom is. The one click varieties have not worked so well for me. so I agree with using the adb command version-more involved but reliable...

I think maybe it might be worth going back to re read how to return to stock posts carefully-link below. You should first have the phone locked again, the RUU is executable from your pc. You won't be using a recovery program and therefore shouldn't be doing any part from their menu to get it done. Everything your phone needs should get loaded up if correctly done.

I HAVE relocked my phone, AND used the RUU.exe method. I get an "Error [155]" message.
I wonder if this has to do with anything, though. I have the HTC drivers installed, my phone is unlocked and in the fastboot usb bootloader screen. I am using the HTC Droid DNA All-in-one kit to relock the phone. When I do so, I get this message:
Code:

Then my phone reboots and says:
Code:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***
If I were to reboot into bootloader again, the "Security Warning" goes away. Could that have anything to do with it?
Otherwise, even after relocking and following all steps, when I try the RUU.exe method, I get to "Verifying information on android phone" -> "Update image version" -> "Checking" -> Waiting for bootloader" -> "Sending" -> "Updating Signature" -> "Error [155]"
Could it be a CID thing? If my phone is the wrong CID might the RUU.exe not work? Maybe if I change the CID to a generic one?
SUCCESS!!! I kept trying the RUU.exe method over and over and over. Finally I redownloaded the same exact file. I entered Windows Task Manager and closed any program I suspected of interfering (Command prompts, driver software, All-in-one tool, etc.). I unplugged my phone from USB, booted into bootloader (fastboot), then connected the USB cable again. I ran the RUU.exe as an Administrator. The "Previous Version" or whatever was empty, with "New Version" as the 1.15.605.4 version. It went through all of the usual steps (Bootloader -> Wiping -> Sending -> Signature stuff) then (where it would usually give me the "Error [155]", it kept going. I was actually researching warranty Acts and packaging my cables and etc. back into the box to go plead a BS "Phone died during update" case to Verizon So excited right now. Thank you guys so much for all of your help, and I hope this thread can help other users in a situation similar to mine. As long as you can get into bootloader and recovery YOUR PHONE IS OKAY.

Being in recovery is a good thing. You should have done a backup before flashing. Go to cwm , wipe system data and cache. Restore your backup. Then get a fresh cm down load and start from scratch. Don't use rom manager to flash this time. Flash from recovery.
Oops sorry reread your post. Recovery is not working? So did you flash recovery through rom manager, then immediately flash cm without booting to recovery first to make a backup? Either way your phone will be fine. you will likely have to push a new recovery through adb. You will find instructions through search.
Put the phone in fastboot open a command window on your pc and then use the command "fastboot erase cache" and then see if you can boot into the recovery.

Well you see, fastboot is not working for some reasons... I installed the drivers, tried other drivers but still nothing. Whenever I try to lock my bootloader it say "waiting for device" (I wanted to use RUU but cant lock bootloader)
Pardon my english
Are you using windows? I had trouble getting adb to work with my current windows install. I used unbtu booted from a usb and adb worked perfectly....
I borked up my DNA a few weeks back like yours. I use Linux Mint, used some flashboot commands (I'm at work, can't remember exactly) and was able to flash TWRP recovery (but you could flash CWM if you wanted to). Then I was able to RUU. I could have pushed a ROM and flashed afterwards, but I RUU'd instead.
Hope this helps.
Word to the wise, when flashing anything on your phone, READ ALL THE DIRECTIONS VERBATUM. If you don't, you risk the bork (like I did).
