I have an unlocked Atrix 2.3.4 with KennethPenn's Alien #3 ROM and I have a problem with Wi-Fi not working. This happened when I flashed the update from #2 to #3.
I tried deleting all my cache, dalvik cache, factory reset in CWM, and factory/data reset on the phone through the Privacy Settings. None of these do anything, I still have the ROM installed, it only uninstalls the Alien theme.
Am I not doing this right? What is the proper way to reset my phone? Is it possible to RSD to another 2.3.4 SBF? Will that even fix my problem?
Thank you.
You doing good.
I think its because of the update , make a nandroid backup and try to flash the full wipe alien #3 version.
If it doesn't resolve that, you can restore the nandroid backup.

I just tried that, but it didn't resolve anything. I still have the same issue.
Thank you, though.

I fixed the problem, sorry guys.
No further help is needed.

I am sorry if this was answered before, but I have tried to search and couldnt find anything..
I have a Samsung Vibrant, of course, and had flashed Trigger 3.2. It was working great until applications started to fail such as the web browser. The applications will start but never actually run. So I tried to restore my nandroid backup, but after doing that, everytime I try to reboot my phone it stays stuck on the lock screen with "Searching" on the top right corner. Im assuming it is searching for the network, but it wont let me unlock the phone. I flashed Trigger again and it worked fine. I try restoring and Im stuck again. I also tried to factory reset and it still does the same thing.
has anyone else encountered this and know how to fix it?
Just odin back to stock with dl mode

Factory reset from Recovery and re-flash Trigger again this time wiping cache, dalvik and fixing permissions after the flash. Now when restoring make sure to check APPS ONLY.

This is all correct. It is likely when restoring you are restoring old system data
thanks for the help! If I did this, would I still be able to flash back to stock or will I have to use Odin for that?

You have to remember when you Nandroid it doesnt flash the kernel back so you either need a flashable rom that has a stock kernel or odin back.
the above is correct make sure you do that!

How are you wiping from recovery if you're saying you can't get into recovery?
Also, doesn't sound like you have tenfars recovery if you're getting the exclamation sign which sounds like the stock recovery instead.
whats the reason for the reset? if anything you can just reflash the rom if somethings messed up or download another one. there are also 2.3.4, 4.5.9.1 OTA roms for unlocked bl's. just look around in here and you fill find it.
Boot into fastboot and fastboot -w to wipe.
when I reflash the rom all my previous info still there so I can't add my google account cause it's already there. the problem that motoblur it's also there but not showing, also it enters tenfars and after the exclamation I can only see some chinese letters. I'll try with fastboot

Should always wipe when flashing a ROM.
Wipe Dalvik, cache, and factory reset/data, or fastboot -w, prior to flashing. Many people also repeat after flashing.

Some of the ROM's perform a wipe for you during the flash process. You could always try flashing one of those also. Just wipe Dalvik and cache before flashing.

Hey all so after I update my firmware to XWKK5 do I have to wipe everything while in recovery mode is it really necessary?
What do you want to achieve with deleting all from recovery?
If you've upgraded, then the phone is in the version upgraded. If you delete all from recovery, you have to reinstall the entire ROM or the phone wont boot...
Thought I had to Wipe Data / factory reset and Wipe Cache Partition?

Instructions are to be followed .
Custom roms usually ask for wipe but not stock roms .

You don't need to do that if you are upgrading from a Stock ROM. If you chose the wipe version of ROM for flashing then it'll automatically wipe you device. If you use non-wipe it'll upgrade and everything remains same.
Wipe is only recommended when you are switchin from Custom to Stock or vice-versa else after a version downgrade say KK5 to KJ3.
Hope it helped.
as i was searching the android dev section, i saw a 2.2 rom that caught my eye. its the Blue 2.2 Frankenstein-Fishmanmod Final. however im running Bionix 1.3.1 on a Bali kernel, can i just flash it over my rom? or i have to odin back to stock rom, then flash the new frankie-fishmanmod rom? i want to stay with 2.2's is i have given up on gb roms already.
You can just flash it. Odin to stock is cleaner

Use Titanium Backup to back up your files.
i already did the back-up. can i proceed to flashing?

yup! after you have backed up all your apps and what not. in CWM i suggest you make a backup there too just in case you have a bad flash or just to have as a back up.
after that just flash like you normally would and then reinstall titanium backup and restore your apps! have fun!
thanks a lot sir. downloading.... ^_^
what would be the things that i have to wipe? still the same as any other rom?
1. factory reset
2. wipe data/cache
3. flash the file
4. cache partition
5. wipe dalvic

also try to backup your text messages with any app from market if you still need your sms
You can back up your texts and APNs in Titanium too.

The not wiping anything part is probably your problem. You should always at least wipe cache and dalvik. Data and system can stay intact. Make sure you downloaded the right version aswell. (Cdma/gsm) wipe those and try again. If that doesn't work, perhaps try those fixes youre refering to and if that doesn't work, full wipe.

Which rom are you referring to? cm10 is his latest i believe? Is your photon unlocked & rooted? What Recovery did you flash? (joker has A CWM specially made for his roms) Unless you are upgrading a rom to a newer version of it, or you are using aroma installer, it is always important to wipe your phone prior to flashing. Im a wee bit OCD about it, so i
1) Wipe data/factory reset
2) Wipe Cache Partition
3) Format System
4) Format Data
5) Format Cache
6) Wipe Dalvic Cache
Then begin flashing. For safe measures always flash your rom twice to ensure it has been properly flashed
*edit*
Did you flash from a stock rom? If so, which gingerbread version was it running? and did you ensure to update it before you flashed?
