First off all i'd like to say that i'm no "expert" when it comes to flashing but I know the general rule of thumb before flashing anything (roms)
1. Wipe Cache 2. Wipe data/factory reset
Now I was running the pre-beta cyanogen 7 port recently and its great and all but having no camera or bluetooth was a deal breaker for me- I decided to flash a backup that I had on my sd card.
Everything thing was going smoothly while flashing the backup using CWM (v.4.0.1.4) until it ran into an "error formatting /data" problem.
Any who I thought that was a no big deal and rebooted the device.... only to be stuck on the boot screen forever.
I started to panic BIG TIME and I was able to access CWM Recovery no problem.... until I realized I couldn't flash the pre-beta cyanogenmod since I couldn't see/view any files on my sd card.
Now i'm stuck with a "soft brick" Atrix that is stuck on the bootscreen yet able to boot up CWM recovery and it feels like its going to be the end of me.
Advice is welcomed.
Thanks!
Did you see if your SD card was mounted in cwm?

fastboot flash CWM recovery and you should be able to access everything like you were to before.

That's how i've accessed CWM recovery this whole time yet it still hasn't shown me the zip files (rom) on my sd card.
hmmm....
pull the SD card and plug into normal PC, back it up, format it, copy the zip onto it, see if that makes a difference?
failing that try pushing the ROM onto your internal via fastboot?

I've tried using a new sd card, formatted it, loaded up the zip files onto it, no dice.
How would you put the rom on the internal via fastboot??
I am all ears.
first things first reflash your recovery. Grab the latest one off the dev thread (use romracers for latest). Both tenfar's latest and romracer's latest have option to flash zip file off external SD.
Your recovery might have corrupted or reverted back to stock, so just try it.
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If that fails then I'd just use fastboot to flash the stock ROM. You'll have to do your own digging around to find the correct .img files
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138092
then you're back to stock and can proceed at your leisure.
You can pretty much do most things in recovery or use moto-fastboot without risk of hard bricking, so don't worry.
all else fails I'd try RSDlite a stock sbf via following thread. BE CAREFUL DO NOT DOWNGRADE IF YOU'VE UPGRADED TO GINGERBREAD VIA OTA OTHERWISE YOU HARD BRICK do your homework...

Fastboot flash the boot image of the ROM you are going back to. There is a known possible issue when restoring from CM7 which they have posted instructions for. Happened to me. Flashing the Aura boot.img via fastboot fixed it for me as this is the ROM I had flashed back to. You can get the boot.img by unzipping the ROM you are flashing.

Ok, so I'm kinda new to the whole rooting, recovery, etc, but after successfully rooting my phone last week, I felt like trying to do something simple like putting on Community Rom or a different boot-up animation. I followed this thread for Community Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053567
Which then references other links to download the files necessary to flash the Community Rom to the Fascinate. Problem is, I cannot get 'Update.zip' from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046855
The update.zip link goes to a 404 not found page, so I can't finish the rest of this.
What I have done so far is installed ODIN on my PC and flashed Clockworkmod, though its not the same one I see referenced on XDA....the filename is
"cwm-recovery-ALL-3-30-FIX". Would this make an difference at all? I got it on my phone and it works when I boot into recovery, but it gives the stock blue screen and not the CWM screen (which I understand should be red) and I guess this is because I don't have Update.zip or something, so I can't flash anything using CWM at the moment.
I did find an 'update.zip' file somewhere (I really don't remember where now), and I put this on the root of my sdcard, but when I go into record and select 'Apply sdcard/update.zip' it shows that it's trying to do something (a progress bar moves across the screen very quickly), but then I get a triangle with an exclamation mark inside and the Android underneath it and nothing else happens. I left it for at least 5 mins and still nothing happened. The only way I can get back to the phone normally is to pull the battery out, put it back in and reboot the phone from the stock recovery.
Can someone help me out? Do I have a crap 'Update.zip' file and if so where do I get a good one from?
My specs for my phone are:
Hardware ver. I500.04
Firmware ver. 2.2.1
Basband ver. S:i500.04 V.ED01
Kernal ver. 2.6.32.9

Ok, I guess I'm kinda confused now. I already have CWM on my phone. Are you saying that I should use Odin to put the version of CWM on from here and I won't need update.zip?
Update.zip is not needed, the cwm replaces the stock recovery in the phones flash memory

You already have cwm on your phone and the recovery 3-30 file is fine, download comm rom and it put on the root of your phones sd card (ie.not in a folder)...if you download it right from your phone it will be in a file that your downloads will be in..most likely tapatalk download, download, or downloads... the point is you want to be able to find it easily.boot into recovery and
Do a factory data reset, also wipe cache, and go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache . After doing those three things locate the comm rom file and install..reboot and enjoy!
If you did odin recovery and then did not flash anything the stock kernel will re write recovery and you will have to re-odin recovery again...so if I were you I would....odin recovery...put the batt back in, three finger boot into cwm flash your rom and or kernel and done

Maybe that's what happened then, I used Odin to put CWM on, but didn't flash anything after that. I'll go ahead and try again and see what happens.
So, why does everyone say you need update.zip all the time after you Odin CWM on the phone?

You use to have to use update.zip but that is not the case anymore...and since you didn't flash anything after recovery you will have to re-do it, so if u did not already download the com rom file you will have to boot up...download comm rom...(i recommend the one with the otb kernel because you can overclock and undervolt with the voltage control app), pull the batt, odin recovery...that 3-30 recovery file is what works for me, put the batt back in and boot directly into recovery at this point I would suggest going to backup and restore and doing a nandroid back up btw power button is accept and menu button is go back...this willsave your phone exactly like it is now just in case things get screwy you will have a point to go back to ( but do not try to restore that back up in the future with out first disabling the voo doo lag fix) after your nandroid is done ,wipe data/cache/dalvik, navigate to wherever your comm rom zip is...install reboot and done...this process will take a few minutes and it's important to be patient...if you are fully stock as if right now you will hear a robotic lady saying stuff as your phone boots up...this is all normal and what you want to hear..once it reboots you can start playing around and setting it up the way you like it
One more suggestion is to use titanium backup and back up all of your apps prior to flashing and after your flash just restore all the apps...not data..i also export all of my contacts to the sd card not g mail cause I've lost contacts before so I just export to sd..flash and import them..that's what works for me...good luck..happy flashing!

I need some help.
I recently purchased a ATT GS2 I have it rooted and recently flashed Unnamed v1.0.1. My issue is every time i want to flash a new rom its pain in my butt. Like now, I am thinking of putting CM7 on and playing a round a while with that but I know I will not be able to just download the rom and put on sd card, boot into recovery, do a data wipe, then flash rom. It always gives me an message that the install has aborted. Unverified signature or some crap like that. So what I have to do to flash a rom is the following. Run odin and flash back to stock with root. Then run odin again and flash the clock work mod recovery kernal SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_X.X.X.X.tar. Finally at that point i am able to flash a new rom from my recovery menu. I love the galaxy series and I do remember on the original having to revert to stock using Odin one click before flashing a new rom. Is it going to be the same with the SGS2? I had an att inspire 4g for a while and it was super easy. Download rom, boot recovery, wipe data, flash rom, DONE>
If anyone can help me out with a suggestion of what I may be doing wrong I would appreciate it so much. If you need more details please let me know.

If you follow these instructions to a "TEE" you will be able to flash CM7
without erroring out.
#1: delete the unnamed 1.01 and cyanogenmod zipfiles from your sdcard
(if they exist)
#2: download a fresh copy of CyanogenMod zipfile
#3: download a fresh copy of unnamed v1.01 zipfile
#4: copy both the newly downloaded zipfiles to your internal sdcard
#5: flash the unnamed v1.01 rom using cwm (not rom manager)
#6: after flashing before reboot select "wipe data/factory reset" in CWM
#7: reboot the phone into a useable state
#8: press power button and select "reboot recovery"
#9: flash the cyanogenmod zipfile (it will not fully boot yet)
#10: wait about 30 seconds after you see black screen with Samsung text
#11: remove and replace battery and reboot into CWM recovery
#12: select "wipe data/factory reset"
#13: flash the cyanogenmod rom once again
#14: select reboot in CWM
#15: in less than 2 minutes the phone will be ready to use!!!!
NOTE: if the above method fails you will need to start from scratch
"ultimate unbrick"
Good luck and I will be waiting for you to click the big THANKS button
I had a few problems with that, I had to download the CM file several times before I got a good copy. you should probably try running an MD5 on the zip file.
Excuse me for being a newbie but I am having a hard time understanding the difference between Rom manager and clock work mod recovery. I always thought they were the same. Can u give me a quick run down of the difference. When you say flash using CWM recovery do you mean from off position boot into revcovery mode and then flash? Not selecting flash rom from Rom Manager, right?
Here is where I am confused. At any given time I should be able to download a new ROM zip file. Place it on my internal sd card. Reboot into rocovery mode, wipe data, flash using CWM Recovery and be done. I have never been able to do it like that with my SGS2 unlike I was able to on my HTC inspire 4g. Whats the difference?

Forget about Rom Manager please.. Rom Manager and CWM are
two entirely different things.
Just follow the instructions to a "TEE" and note that I have not mentioned
anything about rom manager in my previous post with all the step by step
instructions........ For now, forget that rom manager even exists.

ROM Manager seems to insist on using its own CWM implementation, which has been broken on every device I've ever owned. For example, everyone who used ROM Manager on this device had signature verification problems, and anyone who used ROM Manager's CWM on the Infuse wound up softbricking their device if Voodo Lagfix was enabled, forcing them to Odin/Heimdall back to stock.
In-kernel CWM is the most tested and most reliable way to use CWM.
Three finger salute is the only way to be sure when you're trying to enter CWM.
So would u suggest uninstalling rom manager all together?

Have you been reading the development thread?
yes, but they do not say which images they use to get back this functionality, they have just stated they used sbf then an image. My question is i have an unlocked phone, should i got back through the whole process of unlocking and rooting again to regain control of the phone, or what exact steps are needed, i have already tried to edit the files in /etc/ to point to the external card but to no avail.

You won't be able to, as stated in the OP, there's a seperate option in Storage settings within the ROM because you can only read from either internal or external SD, one at a time. So that means you have to put any items you want to flash on the internal SD card to flash them with CWM. It won't read the external SD card in recovery mode.
I have, all my backups and rom images are located on the sdcard
==> backups
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
==> Roms
/sdcard/roms
When i try to restore the backups, i get the boot loop and the same for the roms, or some roms wont load at all. my main rom has been homebase, and it just hangs or it fails with error about sd-ext when in recovery. this is what i am trying to figure out, is how to get back to that point before the pure aosp install, do i start from scratch or is there another way.

I've just tried the int 2.2.2 sbf french [so no longer on 2.3.4] still have the same issue after root and bootloader unlock using romracer's latest CWM.

Lol, so weird, probably all have pudding. Uhm, yet so sbf than fastboot -w and try what I suggested over pm.
Success!!!
"fastboot -w" after SBF install of 2.3.4 made the difference for me. I also formatted my microSD in a card reader.
Now I can install any rom of my choice!
Thanks crnkoj for helping me through this and not giving up.
Ye, np man, probably next time if this happens just try fastboot -w again
Hi, I was rooted and tried to add some ringtones to my system/media folder. Instead of saving it to my SD card and then using a file explorer to move the files like I usually do, I tried to use droid explorer and do it from my PC. Now my phone won't get past the motorola logo when I start the phone. I'm not really sure what to do, can someone help me?

I doubt that adding some ringtones to your /system/media folder from your PC would result in a non-boot condition. Sounds like you may have messed up some system files when you were doing what you were doing. Are you sure you did not inadvertently move/delete/alter any other files?
Do you have an unlocked bootloader?
I figured that was what I did... I dont have an unlocked bootloader. Should I?
I'm going to assume that my phone is bricked...
Will this work?

Its too early assume your bricked...I don't think your bricked. Have you tried to access your recovery? You can try a factory reset from there.

Well I got it going again. I flashed the factory sbf. I'm happy I didn't have to go back to the factory settings

turn on your smartphone, and when apear logo press volume up, go into recovery CWM and make a factory reset, or ... get one rom and put in your sd card and make a factory reset and wipe cash, dalvik and flash new rom, and try to boot ....
stuck at boot screen

I have a similar problem and I know I am not bricked but can't currently get out of my jam. This is the process I used so far:
I unlocked bootloaders and rooted with an automatic script program
I installed superuser and CWM from the market
I placed the cm-7.2.0-olympus and gapps .zip files in my root of internal sd
I wiped with moto-fastboot followed by wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and Dalvik
Then I installed the CM7.2 and Gapps zip files from the sd - and now I'm stuck at the M boot screen with Unlocked at the top.
I can boot into recovery and at the top of the recovery screen it reads Atrix 4G Recovery v4.0.0.2 goapk.com so I am thinking that the script I used initially installed a different recovery program and I am not actually using CWM. Also when I get into fastboot mode it says my battery is too low to flash and I don't have an indication that the battery is accepting a charge when it is plugged in...
I can get into recovery but even if I wipe and reinstall the zip I can't get past the boot loop - any suggestions?

I think that tenfar recovery that you flashed through automatic script. You can just get rom racer recovery flash it through fast boot or Just download this recovery and flash it like any ROM and reboot.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659890

Try to flash your phone with your stock firmware using rsd lite
here a list of firmwares ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1125944
WARNING! : flash it with YOUR stock sbf !!!
OR
Flash the latest sbf for your phone. I've done several with no problems. Yes, you do lose the unlocked bootloader though.
This will return you to stock. I used the same files.
You can avoid bricking your device by not flashing any over-the-air updates to Android 2.3.4. Instead, try flashing the 2.3.4 zip over here. Or, flash the pure stock images from here.
Worked!

Not sure why the other recovery wasn't working but your solution worked swell! Thank you for the assistance. I think it is communities like this online that make Android superior to other mobile OS platforms. It is a highly customizable experience but without these forums I'd be lost.
Many thanks,
