Clockwork recovery does not see sd card - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have looked around for this answer...after flashing a few roms, there is no option to install from the sd card. I have tried remounting, reformatting, even tried to access through rom manager. Has anyone else seen this?

no, which one are you using? You should be using romracer's recovery and not the recovery from rom manager.
Also, make sure you end up in a custom recovery and not in so

go to this post and download the source file from SolidHelix then the zip file of whatever color you choose above that file ....http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1204500.....go into rom manager...flash ClockworkMod recovery...pick your phone (Atrix)...then it will say succesfull flash and give you a latest recovery build.... then reboot into recovery...wipe devalk cache....install the source file zip from SolidHelix should be titled..romracer-android_bootable something zip... then install the CWM-recovery zip (color of choice)... then reboot phone...you should now have Rom Racers CWM installed and never have to flash the recovery again.. Hope that helps

Thanks guys..it all makes sense now

download
move to sdcard/
go to recovery
make backup
flash rom (install zip from sd)
reboot
First install his rom then connect your phone to your computer and mount. Then put the rom in the internel SD card the one without avatar. Don't rename the file. Then boot into recovery and reinstall packages twice. Then you will be in clockwork wipe factory reset and cache. Then go to install zip from SD card, then choose zip from SD card and find the rom. Don't forget to backup your apparently.

What is the point of making a backup? I mean, you can always go to stock using odin and the JFD tar and pit.
Is backup just to save all your personal files, pics, music, etc?

I have heard this over and over. I only have one question that I could not find anywhere. Do you need to rename the "Ginger_Clone_Final_R2.zip" to update.zip? Everytime I reboot into recovery and try and get ti to install, I get the same message over and over; something to the effect of package not found. Thanks

you don't rename it. maybe your choosing the update zip from sd. it should be choose zip file from sd card then you choose the custom rom you're flashing.

Yea, thanks. I thought that was what I am supposed to do. I don't have that option though. When I reboot into recovery (through ROM Manager or on my own) I only have the STOCK recovery options. For some reason, the Clockworkmod options are not showing up. I noticed this about a month ago. I will have to try and figure that out first. Thanks again.

Have you flashed clockwork recovery from rom manager? If so, when you get into stock recovery just hit reinstall packages to get to cwm. You may have to do that twice to get it to work. If it still doesnt work try reflashing cwm from rom manager.

I had been doing everything right. I had to roll back to CWM version 2.5 (I think it is about 3 or 4 versions earlier than the current one). No wonder they have been making so many updates over the past few days. Well at any rate, I wanted to ensure I wasn't doing anything wrong. i have done it before, but for whatever reason (now known to be CWM) it just wasn't working. I got it fixed and now have 2.3. I will install my apps including Titanium Backup and report any problems. I hope there are none; from what it sounds like, I will probably not have any, but only time will tell. Thanks for posting and confirming that I was not losing my mind.

? About recovery

I can get into rcovery but I don't have the option to install from sd or make a backup. The options that I have are reboot, install packages, clear cache and there is on more I can't remember I don't have the phone with me. Install packages dies nothing but show that it can't find any update zip files. I think its not recognizeing my sd card. I have pics and music on my sd card and it works fine so I don't know what's going on.

Sounds like stock recovery. Did you download rom manager? Did you flash cwm recovery. If so reboot into recovery through rom manager
download ROM Manager, and click the first option, its like flash clockwork recovery, choose your device, and then it'll finish, then try going back there, and it should be in GREEN or something

Please put your questions to: Vibrant Q&A
I've done all of that. That's how I get in recovery. And its green writing. The weird thing is that I've been able to flash some roms before then I end up wanting to do something else so I use my backup and go back to stock. I did have some problems with the backup that I did and had to use odin to fix it. I then relized that I did not odin the update j16 file so I then did that. I've got the nero rom ready to go just can't get to the right recovery. I do have the clockwork recovery that I got with the rom manager.

Is there an "advanced" option?? If so go to that then you should see reboot recovery. Then you should see the install from SD card option. Also, try mounting your SD card to the computer. And try pulling out your battery while phone is still powered on.

If you are going into stock recovery after flashing CW Recovery from ROM Manager, you need to select "reinstall packages" in stock recovery (it may need to be selected twice). Then you'll go into CWM.
Also, don't delete the "update.zip" file on the root of your sd card...that's the CWM file, which is what is installing when you select reinstall packages.

Im going to give it another try when I get home. I've done the install packages but I get an error that it can't find somthing. But I will try doing it twice.

Click reinstall package and itll reboot, then click tasty again, and ur in.
If u deleted the update.zip then that's y its not working.
How do I get the update zip back
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I think my problem is with the update zip. I downloaded the new nero b4 and when I look in my files I see it but I can't open or do anything with it. But if I look in astro I see it and I can do something with it. So its something to do with the file app. Its changing it to something that I can't do anything with. I go into recovery and reianstall packages and it looks like its working but then says aborted.

Download titanium backup free/pro, menu, more, create update.zip
Remove the old one before doing this.
Then flash clockwork recovery through rom manager, then try it

Go into ROM Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery." That will put the update.zip file back on your sdcard.
It worked thank you guys.

Cm7 google apps

I installed pre beta 3 and then rom manager said I need to insert an sd card. I have one in so I partitioned it and that fixed it. Then I downloaded and installed gapps using cwn recovery. 4.0.1.4 I think. After that there was nothing new in my app drawer. Am I being stupid idk exactly how everything works yet. Would gapps give me market because that's all I really need.

While I have not installed cm7 on my Atrix, I know that on my nook market doesn't show until you set up your Gmail account. Have you done that yet?
Wipe user data and factory reset then they will show

Go to bootloader then recovery find install zip from SD card go into clockworkmod folder find the zip file for gapps which if I'm correct its called go inside me" or something similar and flash it that way. Sometimes when I'm installing roms for reviews that's how I have to do it

Try what I said. Go into recovery then go to install zip from SD card then find clockwork mod folder it should be in there install the zip from there if all else fails find the market apk online. I suggest 4shared just type in apk. Android market

[Q] CWM from ROM Manager

Is the CWM from the latest rom manager (blue, version 5.0.20) good to go for all your ROM and kernel flashing / nandroid needs? I knew the older versions had issues but been reading that the latest version is fixed.
I been reading bits and pieces would like XDA opinions.

I don't see a reason to flash something different in place of -

since it already works fully without problems.
Depends if you want to take risks or not... Romracer's works just fine.
after I unlocked and rooted, I installed CWM rom manager and installed CWM recovery 5.0.2.0 from the rom manger and worked perfect, I have done about 3 back-ups and has work perfect
It's working and now supports sdcard & internal sdcard.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
It also supports ext-4 (I believe romracers does too) so its good for those looking to flash CM7 pre beta 4
yep turns out its the 'recommended' one for CM7 so I'm going with it for now.
cheers

Confirmed? I did a backup a couple days ago from in rom manager to test it, and it just backed up to internal sd with no prompts. Perhaps you're talking about from directly booting into recovery? In that case, pass, I'll stick with rom racer.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
As of today, RomManager's CWM does give you the option to choose the external sd card but it doesn't actually work. So internal only still. And RomRacer's recovery does NOT support ext-4, only ext-3 as far as I'm aware.

boot into recovery with 3 button combo, I think you are trying to flash through the cwm manager app, and its not compatible with JB, so volume up/home/power....and hold till it boots into recovery
