what is that? im sorry i am noobish :/ i dont really get it , i need noob insructions
well i can access recovery , but when i flash a rom it gives me the same problem
Go back to your baxkup through recovery. Push powr+vol dwn+home. You get into recovery and then choose restore backup.

if you can access clockworkmod recovery, you should still be able to do what lekhwani said. i dont think you get what hes trying to say, so i will say everything step by step
to get the rom onto your phone, you can do either this (longer):
1. plug you sdcard into your adapter. connect your adapter into your computer
2. on your computer, download a rom and move it to your sdcard under directory /sdcard
3. eject the sdcard and put into back into your phone
or this (faster, easier):
1. boot into recovery and plug your phone into the computer
2. under mounts and storage, select mount usb storage
3. on your computer, download and paste the rom of your choice onto your sdcard under directory /sdcard
(skip to number 5)
4. boot your phone into recovery (home+vol down+power)
5. wipe EVERYTHING (if you want your phone to work, you have to do it; on the first menu you see, select all the options that have the word "wipe" in it; after that go into the advanced menu and wipe everything there). vol up is to go up, vol down is to go down. the menu button is to select
6. go back to the first menu and select install zip from sdcard. then select choose zip from sdcard.
7. select the rom, then hit yes (your rom is now being flashed)
8. reboot

so basically thats like installing a rom?
every rom i do doesnt work, it has the same problem, stuck at the lg logo, i wiped cache, cleared everything. im worried if my phone is bricked :/
when im in the cwm recovery menu, i connect the usb cable and it doesnt recognize it, so i use the adapter, and is it normal if the sd card has absaloutely not even one file on it?
as for now, i wouldnt worry about whether your sdcard has any files on it or not. right now, we should be worried about whether your phone can be fixed. have you tried moving a rom onto your sdcard using the adapter? can you see the rom in recovery?
ok thanks, i am downloading a rom right, now. And yes i can see the rom in the recovery menu
ok so the rom is now on my sd card, what do i do from here?
thanks again
OK, i installed the rom, its stuck at the LG logo AGAIN, how long should i wait for it if its first time booting???
someone please reply , i need to fix it as soon as possible and im trying and nothing works.

Ok so im realtively new to working on android phones, just got an atrix, rooted fine, superuser and all bootloader unlocked and stuff, booted into clockwork mod for the first time.
When i did this i clicked on "install update from SD card", chose Greyblur as a test rom cause i seen it on the guide to flash roms, so i followed what they did exacly, when i installed it, i went straight to the "reboot" button, clicked reboot and when it did it wont go past the Dual Core Technology screen, please help me android atrix veterans! i dont have insurance and ive been searching for about a week now, im really scared that im royally screwed, i bought accessories for the phone and want to use them on a non-soft bricked phone!
Please and thanks!
1. Install Romracer's cwm
2. Greyblur is a pseudo-rom, try any rom at the top in the development forum instead. I'm using Nottach's Dark Side right now, it's crazy fast and is very stable.
i have cwm, the problem is i just cant get booted into it without getting on my phone, and launching it via an app i have, is there a way to get on the CWM recovery without an app? cause when i click android recovery it takes me to the stock recovery
Ok, sounds like you installed Tenfar's OLD clockwork recovery, which was only a 'bootstrap' recovery.
What you need to do is, try getting into recovery by doing this:
power off.
press and hold power and vol down buttons until you see 'fastboot' appear on screen. press vol down 7 times until you see 'android recovery' and press vol up key.
This may or may NOT work since you installed the boostrap recovery from Tenfar.
If it DOES work. Do a factory reset. and reboot. See if its fixed.
If not do this:
Download RomRacers Recovery and flash via Fastboot
then do the same button commands to get into Recovery and try to factory reset again.
If none of that works, PM me with your information, such as Android version (froyo, gingerbread, etc etc) and I'll get you sorted.
how do i use fastboot? do i need a program or something on my computer? never touched fastboot before i dont think
Hey i have a similar problem my phone was rooted and an unlocked bootloader using the automatic unlocker and i went to install a rom i believe it was called unofficial aroma rom by th3 bill i went to install it from tenfars cwm and i wiped every thing first and when i went to install the rom it finished in like 5 seconds i pretty new to all this but i thought something was up when it rebooted it wont go past the dual core screen so i went and looked around and found that it could be a kernel issue or a recovery be outdated issue since when i tried to restore my back up on tenfars it still wouldn't go past the dual core screen i then put olmypus cwm on it to see if that wont fix it but i guess that made it worse cus now when i went to go restore I it says error mismatch mdsum so yeah i looked around and read that i can return to stock by flashing a fruitcake but before i did that i thought i should make sure first.hope you guys can help

alright so i did what you said and I'm just guessing the rom just doesnt work for my phone cuz it installed in 5 secs again and i installed a previous version of the rom and it didn't work as well it took me to a rom setup screen like asking me what i want to wipe and what memory to use and then installed pretty quick as well and it didn't boot past the dual core i then whent ahead and flashed the fruit cake rom which is pure stock 1.4.1 and now my phone works...i now have a couple questions do you think it would be smart to back up this rom and keep it as my back up even though its not my real original stock rom? my original one doesn't work it gets a md5 mismatch error or something and doesn't restore.i read some where that tenfars recovery doesnt back u roms properly and that might me why because that what i backed up on should i install rom racer recovery i read that that one is specifically for the atrix if should can you explain how to do that?lastly i stil want to put a custom rom on my phone because the whole reason i did this was because i found out i wasn't getting ics but
each of the two roms i installed never booted up and the only one that worked was the fruit cake do you know a good stable rom to use preferably ics or jellybean?i was also looking into the neutrino v2.9 rom but the linked is down and you need rom racer to install if you cant answer anything i asked please do thanks so far though

go back into recovery by pressing volume down while it's turning on. Then mount sd storage (from recovery) and past into your sdcard an other better rom).Unmount when transfer is complete. WIPE ALL: factory reset, cache and dalvik cache. Install the zip from sdcard. Enjoy
Try formatting data and cache. Format options should be under advanced - mount menu. After formatting your data and cache go to install zip from sdcard and install the new rom. Do wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.

I think this is only a software problem; try flashing miks rom if you want stability, or adfad's for new features. I have not got this bug on nightly6 but the rom isnt fully working
I'm just using a stock firmware from a thread here on how to restore to stock firmware without kdz update. I'm a noob to android so i don't know how to put any ROM yet.
If you use stockROM Froyo (2.2.X) your problem could be solve with an update to Gingerbread (2.3.3). Other causes are poor quality microsd or modified kernel (i.e. Unofficial CM)

For stockROM I use KDZ Firmware Updater, for custom ROMs you need root and install a custom recovery, then, you can install any custom ROM.

As your phone is rooted..
1. install ROM manager from market and install recovery from it... make sure you select the correct phone
2. DO NOT CHOOSE TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY VIA ROM MANAGER OR YOUR PHONE WILL GET STUCK...
3. If you are on gingerbread then you are using new baseband otherwise on froyo its old..
4. go to optimus one development section and choose the stable ROM according to your baseband..
5 download it and place it on sd card
6. Also download GAAPS and place it on sd card
7. turn off the phone and boot into recovery by holding home+ volume down+ power and hold then until you see recovery
8. use volume keys to navigate in recovery, back to go back and menu key to make selection
9. now wipe data/ factory reset,
wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and wipe battery stats..(last two are under advanced options)
also go to mount and storage and format system if you want perfectly clean install
10. now choose install zip from sd card and choose the ROM you downloaded... let it complete and after that reboot phone
11. first boot will take time.. don't panic.. after it is started again boot into recovery and install GAAPS to get market and other google apps.. reboot and you are ready to go..
NOTE:- NEVER FLASH 2 ZIPS WITHOUT REBOOTING
NEVER DO FACTORY RESET FROM PHONE WHILE USING CUSTOM ROM.. DO IT FROM RECOVERY..
I hope this will do..

I'm going to try this. I just flashed my phone again to stock firmware this time a european version. If my screen still goes black, i'll try this out.
Hi,
yesterday I tried to upgrade to CM7.2 from a nightly. As I've been doing, I put the .zip in the sdcard and flashed it with ROM Manager (wiping everything). After flashing it, my phone stucked at HTC white screen and there is no way to switch it on, it stays at this screen all the time.
For my disgrace, it's S-ON, so I can't boot into recovery and restore anything. I've tried to restore a nandroid with fastboot and it doesnt't work (says "Failed (remote: signature verify fail)").
Any ideas? It's definetly bricked? Is there any hope of repairing it?
Thanks in advance (and please forgive my poor english xD)

What do you mean you cant boot into recovery because you are S-ON?
All you need to do is put the recovery file other wise known as flakeflash "UPDATE.ZIP" into the root of the SDcard, turn off your phone (Pull Battery), then press the down button and power button together, wait for the phone to do its stuff, then select recovery in the menu, the phone will reboot into red exclamation mark, press volume up and power, it will then go into stock recovery menu and will then look for the "UPDATE.ZIP" if all is well you should then go into the fakeflash version of clockworkmod recovery.
Does it boot when USB cable is plugged in (soft usb brick)?

Thank you very much, now I can boot into cwm, but I'm having some troubles when trying to flash CM7.2 (or even trying to restore any nandroid backup).
First, when I try to install CM7.2, it does it very fast, without showing any error, but when I restart the phone it gets stuck again on HTC screen.
Then I try to restore a nandroid backup but it doesn't find boot.img, system.img and data.img, skips all steps and restores nothing.
My last shot, try to install the last nightly I used, fails at the same point as when I try it with CM7.2.
I don't know what else can I do, any ideas? I hope there's still any chance for my Legend (and again forgive my bad english xD)
A few points, make sure the rom zip file you are going to flash is not corrupt or incomplete.
Boot into cwm recovery,
Make sure to format the boot, system, data, cache & ext, it wouldn't hurt to delete the dalvik cache too before flashing new Rom. Just remember NOT TO FORMAT SD card.
Using this method I have always been able to flash a new Rom.

Prepare a new SD card in your PC (FAT32), put UPDATE.ZIP on it and a stock ROM, reboot into recovery, wipe all you can (factory settings) and flash the stock ROM, see if that works. If so, you could try to flash a custom ROM.
That is what I would try...
I'm too.
I can't up CookROm by Rom Manager,
but when i use ClockworkMod recovery, its OK

Hello,
I will highly appreciate if somebody can help me.
I wanted to clear my Prime TF201 that's why I used the "Reset device" option in the Menu. After device started again on the screen I see a Clockworkmod recovery v5.8.2.0 menu. And here begins the problem I can't do anything.
When I choose reboot it restarts and I'm back at the main Menu.
When I choose install update from SD card I see only files from the internal memory of the device (although I have deleted them). I've tried to connect to PC but adb said: no device connected.
Generaly I's stuck- no SD card, no USB can be used for recovery file instalation or something like that.
Please help me :crying:
To make this clear: CWM works? Then I suppose you're not fubar.
Have you tried if it shows up in fastboot?

Hi, I don't think it is working since I only see the menu of CWM and none of the options is working. How to try fastboot?
Follow this guide, it worked for me.
Get your downloads and the appropriate ROM and start with the "fastboot devices", then it should show up.
TWRP worked for me and CWM didn't, this is why I recommend it. You can just flash it on top of CWm and it will replace it.
Remember to wipe Dalvik, System, Cache ad Data before installing the other ROM.
/e: I should mention that it did work when I had a non-booting CWM first.
I am trying to install an AOSP rom and stuffed it up. Here's what I did so far. I normally format the internal sdcard when I flash a new daily driver but forgot I haven't put in an external sdcard.
I am currently now in TWRP with no OS. I want to turn the phone off and put in an exernal sdcard to flash a rom. I am just afraid if I turn it off now I won't be able to get back into recovery.
Just wanted to check if this is possible, otherwise I'll leave it on and attempt a sideload and flash a rom that way (still reading up on this if anyone is familiar would appreciate any advice.)
With Windroid
i) Flashed TWRP
ii) Installed SU
With TWRP
formatted dlavik cache etc etc and, very unfortunately, sdcard as well.
Where I am at with sideload
Trying to follow a tutorial (can't link)
Currently I am at the part where I am installing the sdk bundle to get the adb executable.

Sweet much easier than I thought, what a time to be alive...
ROM currently installing, hope all is good.
Thanks again!
Edit: Also, is it weird that when I press reboot system in TWRP (after the ROM installed) nothing happens? It just stays there. This also happened when I installed SU, I had to take my battery out to reset it and SU was there when it booted back on.
I previously used CWM so a bit new to TWRP.

I previously used CWM so a bit new to TWRP.
