[Q] Clockwork Mod Recovery Error Help! - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I try to download the market for CM7 I get an error message that appears in the CW Recovery when I try to install...
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
Waiting for SD Card to mount (20s)
SD Card mounted...
Verifying SD Card marker...
SD Card marker not found...
Checking Internal SD Card marker...
Error verifying extendedcommand...
Error processing ROM Manager script. Please verify you
have ROM Manager v4.4.0.0 or higher installed.
/tmp/recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report the issue.
So I was just wondering if anyone could be very kind and help me figure out how to fix this.
Thanks!

Open rom Manager and make sure that you have the most up to date recovery installed.

Then your rom manager is probably out of date. Or you're using the wrong gapps package. Try to get a copy from the cyanogen wiki. Just Google cyanogen wiki gapps

How do I uninstall CM7 off my phone?
If I can't do that how do I install Romracer's Recovery?

well, i place the beta.zip from the Atrix Dev Team's site on your SD card, and then do a fastboot -w; after that, boot into recovery and install the beta.zip off your SD Card.
if you want to try Romracer's recovery, go into the development forum and download it; after that, install it through fastboot.

So I have to use CMD and Adb to install it?

Chubby_Skunk,
It would be easier for us to help you if you would pick a thread and stick to it! Not to mention you would be keeping the forums organized for anybody else who might have the same prob. We would all apreciate it.
Thanks,
Steven

So since you have decided to comment. Could you possibly help?

you have to use CMD and fastboot to install it; your device has to be booted into fastboot mode and connected to your computer, and you have to have the fastboot package on your computer.

Isn't the error explicit enough? Your ROM Manager app is old, install the latest apk
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/RomManager.apk

I have the latest version of RomManager and I have the Latest version of Recovery. and I still get the same error message....
Why does this crap have to happen????
Any help?

sent you a PM, hit me up on AIM and we'll troubleshoot this together.

can someone explain what
"SD Card marker not found" means? I also have this error, even though I have a 32gb microsd card installed. Because of this, Clockwork puts the backup on my internal storage, rather than the sd card.

try to do a complete format of your SD card, there might be something on it that's preventing CWM from using it.

external sd card not recognized

Hi guys,
i have flashed a few miui v4 roms and i think they have messed up my external sd card settings or something along the line.
now i'm back on a gb rom, i see the sd card when the phone is up and running but if i try to flash from cwm 4.0.1.5 it doesn't see mmy external card ?
do you guys have any idea how to sort this out ? i want to say that this sd card has always worked fine on this device, it's just now that cwm doesn't see it.
thanks
Format the card & see if the phone recognises it. If not, faulty card given you're running stock & the card should be visible to the phone/working fine if the card is good/not faulty.

Have you tried mounting it in CWM?
yes, but it doesn't even give me the option to choose zip file from eternal sd card only from internal sd card

What version CWM recovery are you on?
I meant, if you go to the Mounts and Storage menu, does it have an option for mounting or unmounting /sdcard? If so, does it say mount, or unmount? If it says mount, then you have to mount it in order to use it.
4.0.1.5 and yes there is mount, i mount it, go back to choose zip from sd card.....and there's no internal card detected....if i boot in the system i can see it with file explorer or the likes...it's just cwm not seeing it

Hmm. I've not used 4.x.x.x in quite some time.
I'm using 5.0.2.7. For me, anything that refers to "sdcard" is the external card. "internal sdcard" is the built in flash memory. And as it turns out, I didn't even have to mount /sdcard to use either.
Sorry man...
How did you get 4.0.1.5 installed? Maybe it's time to upgrade.
yes probably, how do you actually upgrade this ??

Easiest way is to flash a kernel that comes with it. I'm using Siyah. Just search for it.

[Q]Flashing a custom rom

dumb question: im planning to flash a custom rom. Done with unlocking and rooting and i have cwm. Should I need an external sd card? Or is it fine to put the zipped rom in the internal sd card?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
You don't need to have an external sd. You can flash with your phone's sd.
I would use an SD card, every rom i flashed has been installed from sd card

i have tried flashing it from my internal and external sd card.
i have re-downloaded the rom but still to no avail
please help if you have encountered this or know what the cause is. Thank you!
Use "install zip from sd card" instead of "update zip". Don't remember the exact words.

it might help to know exactly what steps you're taking when 'flashing', from installing the rom on the phone to your 'flashing' steps.
install zip from sdcard / choose zip from sd card (& or internal sdcard) / sdcard / olympus_gold_edition_USversion.zip (and AOKP)
I have a samsung epic 4g and flashing on there became second nature to me which is why I dont understand what is going on here. I have everything that I need to run custom roms but it just wants to be stubborn

if you read his instructions he specified that you need to place it as a backup and restore to that rom
Yup i think its a backup not a flashable zip

Try installing from internal SD. Perhaps your external SD is messed up or slow......

haha thank you guys. it was still a zip file when i was trying to restore it xp

cwm fails NAND

Hi
I am rooted and CWM always aborts when doing a NAND backup because it can't find android secure !
I know it should skip it but it does not.
Anyone know what I should do to fix this in cwm ?
Should I flash a different version of CWM ? If so can anyone recommend one that will work ?

Kind of running into a similar issue. When I try to do a back up in CWM, I'm getting that it can't mount backup path (but doesn't say what that path is, and I can't seem to mount sdcard in 'Mounts and Storage'). I'm going to assume this is like the SII where I need an actual ext SD card to run backups to? Can someone confirm? At work with no ext SD card.
Try reflashing ...

The latest version of CWM-Recovery should work well, on both internal and external storage. I've tested it on numerous occasions. I have the Rogers I747M, which is effectively identical to the AT&T unit.
Use this link for the correct/latest version of CWM:

If you don't have an external sdcard, then you need to choose "backup to internal sdcard".

Stuck in boot. Touchpanel IMG preventing from getting into rocevery.

I'm stuck in a bootloop. I was flashing a ROM that needed the old TP so I have the image zip on my sd card. When I flashed the ROM it won't work so I had to reboot. Now I can't get back into recovery since booting to bootloader just keeps wanting to reinstall the TP zip then reboot. I can see my sd card on my pc to remove the image zip either. Can anyone please help with this?
Dude just take out your SD card and boot into recovery.

Now it makes sense why everything I've ever read says to put the img file on the "external" sd card.

sd card not available. cant mount sd card

Hi.. im new to this forum...
please help...
Yesterday I installed a custom rom (IllusionRom-2.5, 4.3) on my Samsung Galaxy S2. Before I had CM10.2, 4.3 installed.
for some reasons i wanted to install my previous ROM again, but now i cant access to my sdcard from CWM(v6.0.3.4). when i select choose zip from sdcard, i get
- 0/
- clockworkmod/
- obb/
- ++++go Back+++++

I cant even restore from a previous backup. I tried to mount sdcard from cwm and it says,
Error mounting /storage/sdcard1!. same error is displaying for sdcard0.
but i can access to both sd cards from laptop..
how can i fix this?
please help me.. :crying:
You're files are in /0 now. Install philz recovery and try again. Or flash a rom from ext SD card.
You could try reading the illusion ROM thread. Its not very long,and a large part of it is discussing exactly this problem. Or you could have read it before flashing,and you wouldn't have this problem to start with.
