Is it necessary to unlock bootloader to install this minicm7 v20?
It is my first try. I rooted first. Then I installed CWM 3.2. When i downloaded this rom and did the recomended procedure for CWM 3 my phone entered in infinity bootloop. Miraculously, pressing the menu button before "Sony ericssom" appear in the screen, i entered in the CWM 3.2 menu and did a recovery ^_^'
Just do not know what did wrong

you don't need to unlock bootloader to install minicmpro, because the rom isn't custom kernel ready.
infinity bootloop? in recovery, do factory reset/wipe data
Thanks for the reply
I did factory reset, i did the indicated procedure. This time i will try install CWM by other way.

Hi,
I finally unlocked the BL on my Atrix (4.5.91 from AT&T)
I downloaded ROM Manager and installed CWM Recovery. I managed to boot into recovery from ROM Manager once but now it's not working.
I get the Motorola Logo and then it switches to the android logo with an exclamation mark
I was thinking of flashing the touch recovery, found information here:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-clockworkmod-recovery-touch-on-motorola-atrix-4g-how-to/
Is there a newer version? Are these instructions accurate? Do I need to be in fastboot to do this?
Also, I never flashed a ROM before
I really need a clear NOOB guide for doing this and would appreciate recommendations for ROM (if possible, ones that have Hebrew)
Thanks!!!
before you start digging an even bigger hole... STOP
you've already installed cwm so I don't know why you would need to install another version? Right now you need to get your phone up and running again.
Try these steps... power up phone holding the volume down button to get into recovery. Did that work? If so you should see the recovery menu - select data/facory reset and press power to select and then try and reboot system... does that work?
If not I think you'll need to flash the sbf file using rsd lite. Instructions are easy to find on here. Good luck.
I think I didn't explain myself properly.
The phone works 100%, I simply cannot boot into CWM recovery
when I power up holding the volume down button I get to what I think is the phone's default recovery. I get Fastboot as the first option and I can browse through with the volume down button
Anyways, what I would like to learn how to do is safely flash CWM Recover Touch (just because it's easier to use) and Flash ROMs
Thanks!!
Insure that rom manager is up to date, then reflash cwm recovery & try booting into recovery again.

OK, I re-flashed CWM recovery and it's working now
Before I proceed, I would like to backup my current AT&T ROM.
1) do I do this through th Backup and Restore in the recovery?
2) is this called NANDROID backup?
3) is it safe to restore from it?
I created a backup and again it does not boot into recovery. same issue
Will I always need to reflash it after each time?
OK, it only boots into recovery once after I flash it. Even if I don't do anything
ROM Manager is the most recent version (5.0.0.7)
Recovery is the most recent version according to ROM Manager (5.0.2.0)
Anyone? please help

Flash the recovery through ROM Manager one more time, boot to recovery, and flash the latest version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475444
See if that one stays working.

Hmmm...flash custom kernel using flashtool....all custom kernel have built-in recovery (cwm or twrp or both)...no need to install cwm using xparts anymore....
to boot into recovery, look at the led...when the led appears then press volume down to enter recovery...
i have lg p765 with unlocked bootloader (just yesterday). After rooting the phone I installed cwm recovery 6.0.1.9 by artas using recovery installer.
Now as kk roms work only on 6.0.4.x I tried to flash new recovery many times but after flashing new recovery phone directly boots into recovery after 2-3 seconds of LG logo. So I have to restore using my previous backup.
So even after unlocking the bootloader I am unable install roms.
Please help ... How to fix this cwm bootloop?
Can anybody give me working recovery and how to use it ?(for my older recovery I had to press vol down button after blinking of lights)
Followup to my previous thread where I was stuck in a bootloop.
I flashed an older KK stock rom (17.1.2.A.0.314), rooted it and installed XZ recovery, but it is unable to boot into recovery. I have no idea if the recovery is even installed, or how to check for it.
What do I do?
if yoy no cant enter with Power Vol - , try install again recovery, or flash the firm and start again
Hello,
I got a little problem with my lg g5.. I've unrooted my phone for a couple weeks ago to try and update to the latests version of android but I'm stuck at the part of updating.
Currently my phone is running android version 6.0.1 but I've seen that there is a newer version and I would love to install it on my phone but the notification that is popping up every day is nog working.
Hope somebody can help me.. Im really bad at this kinda things.
Do you have TWRP installed as a custom recovery? If so I understand your need to flash the default recovery img or updating from the phone will fail on reboot.
Check our autoprime's all in one guide that might help you troubleshoot and restore your phone to MM or N

Is there a way to check what custom recovery I've installed? It's been a while since I rooted my phone..
Turn off the phone or remove the battery. Then, hold down the volume down button and then the power button. Keep them both held till you see the LG logo, then release the power button and briefly press and hold the power button again. If successful you should see a white, factory restore menu. Use the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select yes on both the two screens. NB if you do not have a custom recovery this will factory restore your phone-so make a backup. If you do have a custom recovery, it should boot up e.g TWRP
From here you can flash the default boot loader img and then update ota

When I restart my phone and use those keys my phone is booting into the white screen where I can go into factory restore.. Do I need to install a custom recovery first?
Once in the white screen, to see if you do have a custom recovery installed, you need to select yes on both screens to enter the custom recovery. As I said before, if you do not have a custom recovery (such as TWRP) you will factory reset your phone and lose all settings so make backups first.
Before all that though, how did you root and into it your phone- that will give me an idea as to if you have a custom recovery installed

I've been using the bootloader unlock from this link
So you most likely flashed TWRP if you followed the instructions verbatim. How did in root?

Flashed the SuperSU with TWRP, it's down below at the tutorial page.
Now I only need to know what I need for the stock recovery and how I can update my phone
For the stock recovery, I have 6.01 10E stock recovery here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3j5Gs11w3EqVzNwa0h3b2tVWmc/view?usp=drivesdk
Hopefully that should work. If not, you can extract the recovery image from the full zips on autoprime's all in one LG g5 post.
Good luck
Hope I will get it working xD Thanks for your help!
