[Q] so i think im in some trouble here - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i had rooted my 2.3.4 phone and installed gingerblur on it, now im dealing with a problem it seems to be in bootloop, and i have tried to wipe all the data/cache and still no boot :/ and i noobishly did not back up my phone and the gingerblur is on the internal card and not on my external, any idea? i have rsd on there but i dont know if my usb debugging is enabled.

Ok. Search the android development forums for fruitcake. Download the 2.3.4 fruitcake onto your computer. Take your sd card out of your phone and hopefully u have a mini sd card holder so u can plug into your computer to put the fruitcake on your external sd card. Once its on, boot into fastboot and erase system, user data, webtop, preinstall, boot, and cache. Then fastboot reboot into recovery and flash the fruitcake.

do i delete everything via android recovery?

alrighty sorry about all the questions
sorry not reading
and what should i type into cmd for the flashing of fruitcake

fastboot erase system
fastboot erase data
...etc...
Just go through and erase what Phalanx621 listed and then boot into recovery. Make sure you do NOT erase the recovery.

Alternatively, you can just use "fastboot -w" to clear the data and cache in one shot. Just thought I throw that in there...

But you still have to do system, webtop, preinstall, and boot.

how do i flash fruitcake? do i just NvFlash or what

After you finish erasing everything you just power down the phone and then power it up while holding down "VOL Down" and wait for it to say "Fastboot", then press the "VOL Down" until it says "Android Recovery" and then press "VOL Up". You should be able to flash using the menu there. Of course, it would help if you had Tenfar's or romracer's recovery. Do you have either one of those?
If not, you will have to go to one of their threads, download it to your computer, put it in the same folder as fastboot, reboot into fastboot, and then run the commands:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery "file name.img" (make sure you type in the file name exactly)
After that, you can boot into recovery and flash the fruitcakes by using "flash from zip" > "external SD"

yeah i am, its saying
C:\root>fastboot flash recovery "root.img"
sending 'recovery' (32768 KB)... OKAY 2.052s
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: (00180002))

---

Are you leaving the quotation marks out of the command?
Also, why is it called root.img? It should be a recovery. If that's what you renamed it then it should be fine. Which recovery are you using? have you tried typing "fastboot devices" to make sure it is recognized?
