[Q] CWM recovery issues - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok first off im on 4.5.91 rooted, unlocked and was running CM7. So i decided was going to try to get rid of the word unlocked at the boot screen so flashed 234-sb-released.zip and that didnt get rid of the word unlocked so i used RSD and flashed and that worked so I rooted my phone again and installed Rom Manager Premium installed CMW it said its installed so when i try to flash a rom or zip I get failed 2 boot. I have looked for the file install-recovery.sh" @ /system/etc as some ppl have suggested and dont see that file so now im stuck the phone boots normal and works fine just cant flash anything I also tried installing
MOTOA4_Bootstrap_0408_1720-signed which lets me enter recovery but gives me all kinds of errors when I try to flash something. Some good advice is needed beside google search as I tried that too!!!

Try re-installing pudding and running the unlock procedure again. Romracer was helping someone out with this yesterday. See here around post 451 on. Not your exact situation, but sounds veeeerrrry similar.

Yeah you can't relock your bootloader but flashing a .sbf will make it look like you did and you'll have to go through the procedure of unlocking it again. But its not actually locked. Its complicated.

so im still unlocked as I thought but the recovery software doesnt believe or see my phone as unlocked so I will have to unlock my phone again in order to be able to flash things again is that even safe

Yes, the link I provided has some follow up from the person who was having this problem. But I believe you will need the pudding file since the original bootloader doesn't have the fasboot oem unlock built into it.
*Edit* You'll also need to install your custom recovery too, since the sbf replaced it.

Why don't u flash recovery through adb, so the recovery will work and then you can install a Rom next...
You think you can walk me though it, im still a noob at this

You certainly can enter the boot loader ryt?
I actually own HTC incredible s so can't say much about it, nut then android OS works around the same way with bootloaders and recoveries, so hope I can get u some head start....
What exactly happens when you turn on the phone?
My ATRIX has wrote this without my consent!
Can you get into "Fastboot" mode? Wait.. are you just rooted or rooted and unlocked? If you are unlocked or even not unlocked and can get into RSD Mode, you could flash the Pudding 2.3.4 sbf. Or you could go to the "Fruit Cakes" thread, download the zip file extract the boot.img and system.img and flash them via fastboot...
The issue has been resolved...
It seemed that he could flash roms with sense 2.0 or 2.1 without any problems, but then he couldn't flash the 4ext recovery, as it did not seem to work, all it would do is give a blank screen, wherein the recovery would run but the text wasn't visible at all...
He first formatted his SD card...
Flashed 4extrecovery 2.1.0 final version. And it worked...
Next he flash VU 2.35 ROM. And power off the device after the flash from the recovery itself.
Went back into recovery again (keep in mind he hasn't started his phone, it actually ends up in boot loops) and flashed the unity v3 kernel.
Power off Tue device again and power on... Voila!!! It worked....
Some cpu's tend to be a little diff. than others. So some can bare the alterations made to their frequencies and voltage while others can't. Hope it goes well with all the IncS users....
EDIT: sorry posted this on the wrong thread... This is how another incredible s user had a problem like, so solved his one....

How to fix Failed to boot 2..

Ok so I messed around too much with my first Android.
What I did..
I have an AT&T 4.1.2.6 device.
I didn't succeed in upgrading the version through RSD, but I did manage to unlock the bootloader (using this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871), and installed Tenfar's CWM recovery.
Then I put this CM7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257574
I loaded it from zip and rebooted and the device was just stuck on the Motorola logo. I didn't wipe or did anything else before rebooting.
SO I tried to RSD to version 4.1.57, it started ok, but then FAILED, and that's where I am at now. My device is recognized by the RSD software.
What do I do? Should I RSD back to 4.1.2.6? This one http://gititbit.ch/asbf1
Can this be fixed or did I kill it already?

Use RomRacer's CWM; tenfar's is too old and is obsolete.
Try "wipe user data", "wipe cache" and "wipe dalvik cache" before flashing CM. Most likely your problem is that you didn't wipe.
You shouldn't use RSD/SBF after you unlocked your phone, it's not quite safe - it could hard brick your phone if you upgrade then downgrade. See the stickies like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160408
Instead, you can use "Fruit Cakes" if you really want to go back to MotoBlur: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009
Do you have a backup before flashing CM? If yes, try to use the recovery you have right now to revert (restore) your phone to its previous good working state.
As long as you're able to access fastboot and recovery, your phone isn't dead. Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423 etc if you don't know what to do. Make sure you understand what you're going to do before you do anything to your phone.

Thanks for trying to help..
So if I did the CM7 and then I tried to RSD/SBF the 1.83 so it's possible I hard bricked it..
I didn't backup anything, because I didn't make any changes to my phone yet, never really used it..
So now I need to download FruitCakes 1.83? or higher?
How do I load it? with the RSD? I don't have access to CWM so I don't think I can use them.
I think that's the only way I have to communicate with my phone right now is RSD.
Keep in mind I'm a noob in this.
I don't think I have access to the flashboot and recovery.. that by pressing volume down, right? It doesn't get there.
Only thing I can access now is RSD... :/

When you power up the phone, hold "Volume Down" key, see if you can see "fastboot" on the screen... if you see it, try click the volume down key again a few more time, see if you can find "Android Recovery"...
if you can see it, hit "Volume Up" key to enter recovery, from there you'll be able to flash anything you like... this way you can recover your phone.
The other way is to use "moto-fastboot" when the phone is in "fastboot" mode.
Holding volume down doesn't help, it won't go to fastboot.
Can anything be done?
Not sure what else can be done. Search the forum see if you can find any hint. I heard success stories by returning phones in warranty to at&t customer help center (not warranty center).
I'm not in the US and can't return it for warranty :/
Any ideas anyone?? Will trying RSD to 1.2.6 **** it more or no harm in trying??

Flash an sbf of gingerbread with pudding. DON"T TRY TO FLASH ANY sbf without pudding our you will HARD BRICK.
After that you should be back on track. You will then be able to flash Romracer's latest CWM recovery and use that for flashing roms.
In order to not get stuck on Moto logo after flashign roms, do a full wipe before and after flashign a rom.
Good luck.
Can you give me a link to the correct SBF with pudding? I'm pretty much a noob at this.
I'm not sure that I didn't hard brick it already by trying to flash the 1.8.3 before..

4.5.91 sbf with pudding
If it lets you enter RSD mode, means you haven't hard bricked yet. Be careful.
This is yet another reason why people should research things thoroughly before jumping into something they don't know much about just because it looks fun.

xploited - THANK YOU!!!
It's ALIVE again! My god I'm so happy
So I'm now 4.5.91 with pudding and root Android 2.3.4 - Which guide do I follow to installs Roms the right way? which recovery do I install?
ANYTHING else I should know before I do something stupid?
Congrats!
Try to install RomRacer CWM first before install any ROM. It's a line of defense in case anything bad happens to your phone. Read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600 first if you don't know much about your phone. Don't hurry, take your time and make sense of what you've read.
Let's make sure I understand correctly.
The SBF I installed with pudding and root means my device is already unlocked right?
It says unlocked on top left corner when I start the device.
So all I need now is to install RomRacer's CWM and go by the instructions - true?

Yes, you only need to unlock your phone once. Unlock won't go away unless you RSD flash a rom without pudding. Which you shouldn't cause that will most likely hard brick your phone.
And yes, now you can install RomRacer's Recovery or koush's Rom Manager (Clockworkmod Recovery) from the market, that can be flashed without even entering fastboot. So easiest option right there.
With CWM (especially koush's Rom Manager ) flashing roms is super easy.
When I try to run koush's Rom Manager it says "superuser was not found at /system/bin/su or /system/xbin/su" and that I must root my device.
How can it be not rooted with the SBF I used? as I said when I open the device the bootloader says"unlocked"

"unlocked" doesn't mean "rooted".
Unlocked means the bootloader is unlocked.
Rooted means you have the capability to gain "root" privilege (a Unix-like concept)
A phone can be rooted while locked. Vice versa.
Ya but I figured the pudding SBF was with root, or so it said.
Anyway all is well now.. I'm on CM7 at last
Thanks to all that helped..
By the way I don't see an option to sync my google and facebook contacts like I saw in the previous version.. I need to install something for that?
I'm missing gmail and maps as well, guess I need google tools of some sort..

The CM7 thread should have the google apps link, you can install from there. After Market is installed, you'll be able to install gmail and maps.
For sync: Menu->Settings->Accounts & sync->Add account, your contacts will be sync once you turn it on

Problems Flashing ClockworkMod Recovery

Maybe somebody can help me with this. I went through all the steps to unlock the bootloader and root the phone using Lokifish Marz guide(very helpful by the way). and now when you boot the phone up in the top left of the screen is the word unlocked.
However, when I go through the process of moto-fastboot. it acts like it's working just fine,erase recovery...OK, Sending Recovery.... OKAY, writing Recovery.... OK. but when I go to boot into recovery (power+volume down, scroll down to Android recovery and hit volume up) I get the Triangle with a !.
To make matters even more confusing, is I have got it to boot up to CWM. I did a full back up on internal, including web top and I thought I was good. I had to run to the grocery store so I booted my phone back up for the time being and went and did my errands, came back and booted into recovery(with the above way.) and bam! triangle, !, android guy.
I've done this a couple times. I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong however I can't seem to find anybody else that has had the same problem. I've held of on trying to flash a different rom, so I'm still running stock rooted.
I'm running Android Ver. 2.3.4 Build 198_6 and I've tried flashing a coule diffent versions of recovery3 including the one that came with Root-Unlock-Recover.
Anybody have any ideas?
I also have the same problem with my motorola photon. i went thru the steps
to unlock the bootloader it said it was unlocked i checked to make sure i was rooted with root check and it said i was. but when i power the phone on and boot i can see android recovery but when i select it the menu is not there just
a triangle and the android symbal, then i have to pull the battery to restart
it does and the phone seems to be working ok.
Well it make me feel better that im not the only one. What tools did you use to unlock your boot loader?
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
What version of stock did you guys start with? I think there was an USCC OTA that IIRC locked up the boot loader on the Electrify.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Started with Android Ver. 2.3.4 Build 198_6 , its the same one that's on there right now. and it's saying my boot loader is unlocked, I actually went through the fastboot unlock process again to check and it said it was already unlocked. Although I just tried flashing twrp recovery and the same thing happened, so it seems to be behaving like it flash's the new recovery but it doesn't.
Strangely though, I've been able to get into Clockwork Mod once or twice, but as soon as I reboot, and to go to recovery it takes me to triangle !, is that just stock recovery/bootloader? So basically CWM is a one time use then back to fast-boot to try again and again.
maybe I should look into re-locking and just going with a boot-strap?
So with some more Tinkering it seems I can get to ClockWorkMod so long as I don't reboot my phone all the way.
if I flash clockwork mod. pull the battery and boot into CWM it works fine, but if I fastboot reboot all the way it goes back to stock recovery. I'm beginning to think the boot loader isn't really unlocked even though it says it is.
Anybody else heard of this?

[Q]So is there a Legit answer to the crashing problem??

I've searched this thread, and google with no clear answer as to what to do to solve this problem, a similar thread exists but it looks just like troll answers so here is my issue! I've rooted and installed the CWM but now my Jetstream seems to crash everytime I press the power button to lock the screen, also when the screen locks itself. I've tried resetting to factory settings, nothing works. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Are you still on the factory kernel or did you upgrade to the DoomKernel? I found the reboots happened with the DoomKernel but have not had a single reboot since I went back to the factory kernel.

Im still on doomkernel, I don't know how to go back to normal, this is my first Android device haha I only got it because it was 169.99 on a one year term since I work for Rogers in Canada. I could fix my iPhone easily but this is proving to be a little more challenging
here's what you need to do:
backup whatever you can
Re-lock the bootloader. (using the instructiones at htcdev.com/bootloader)
download and run the RUU file from htc.com/us
it will update the version of the device and will clear all the data from it, including root access and kernels
now that the device is like new again - root it if you wish to, but do not flash the kernel by doomlord. its not stable.
Okay so to relock bootloader do I just plug it in and go to fastboot and use the command fastboot oem lock? I will try when I get home from work, I tried this before but got an error when I tried to use the RUU installer I cant remember what it was exactly, but ill post results when I have them

Correct. Relock, run the Ruu and then root and install the doom recovery. I've done everything but put his kernel back on (not the insecure kernel, that gives you root) and am very pleased with how my Jetstream functions. Still needs a good custom ROM though.

For immediate access, upgrade to FileFactory Premium. Alternatively, you can try again shortly.
Retry download
it says the rom update utility cannot update your phone please get the correct rom update utility and try again
there is a chance that there are two different RUUs. one for Rogers and one for at&t.
try searching rogers for an RUU..

Ive tried all three roms found in the dev section! The first two were exes and didnt work and when i tried to flash the zip i get an error that says FAILED Remote: 12 signature verify fail -sigh
if u'r having crashes you need to flash the RUU from Rogers. RUU means Rom Upgrade Utility. it's an exe file published by htc/rogers.
you need to d/l the file, connect the device to the computer and run it, after relocking the bootloader.
the ROMs that are in the development section are very raw and pretty much neglacted by now. do not try to flash them, it will probably only make things worse.
Okay, so where would I find the Rom from HTC. I work for Rogers and we do not provide them.
try searching the forum for a rogers version.
if you can't find one - i'd try resetting the device first.
long press the power button.(20 sec).
than turning it on while holding Vol. down. there you can find the factory reset.
if that takes you to the recovery try wiping all the data (cach,data,delvik whatever)
if nothing works, try the link below. maybe it'll work on your version.

I moved system app out of /sys and phone wont start now :(

Hi, sorry to xda for posting in bad sections in the past but i am dumb hence my problem please please please help
I have mb860 i think i have emara as firmware? when i browse through my backup files from titanium backup in text mode i see android 2.3.4 then emara and its version...
I cant fully check this all because my phone is not working and only boots into android recovery. I have stock, my bootloader is not unlocked. I tried flashing over cwm into the recovery partition and got an error basocally saying my bl was locked, so i tried some fixes with fastboot but both methods gave me "(bootloader)OEM unlock not implementable"
So i dont know how to unlock bl, which means i dont know how to open a adb shell and move around my phone...
Also i got rsd lite (i never used this when i programed for android) because i wanted to push an entire sbf.. Only problem is every sbf link is broken for my version that i find and even xda links to a filefsctory depository wich is littered with actual viruses...
My head really hurts so if anyone can help im so sorry if im not clear i will try hard to explain just ask.... I havnt slept since it happened about 40 or 50 hours ago?
Oh yeah what happened?
I moved an app called "system tuner" out of /sys and instantly got notifications telling me applications were force closing... They were back to back and i could not long hold home and just move system tuner back and ignore them, i tried and almost made it to move system tuner back but then all i saw was a vertical display of my battery being charged....... Now i can boot into android recovery mode and nvflash fastboot rsd and about 7 more...
I thought i had luck with usb enumeration and that would make it go as usb mass storage and i could do something. And my usb driver read it as a usb storage device but it didnt work.
I have a backup of user and syte, data by backup titanium on my pc thats how i saw i had 2.3.4... The update.zip backup is on my phone... Speaking of that can i somehow fix my problem by putting a .zip file on my phone? To repopulate it? I think its all gone????
EDIT: MY BLOOTLOADER IS LOCKED... IM 99%
And idk if it means anything when i plug into rsd mode, my ui on my pc tells me im connected to "se flash olympus" which is all good but it doesnt have an (imei/esn/meid) number.?????

So basically what you're saying is you have a stock device, locked bootloader, and you failed to read the directions about unlocking (pudding sbf, oem unlock, custom recovery). How do you expect to flash custom roms or custom recoveries with a locked bootloader?

You can use sbf as a means of unlocking bl... RIGHT..... ?...
Also idk if you read but i cant properly boot up so i need to use adb or fastboot or rsd... Right....? Maybe i explained things bad? I think with a sbf that is compatible ill be ok... Or maybe help unlocking bl first? I need help i tried alot on my own...
Don't you ever flash an SBF, they are not safe.
Unlock bootloader
Flash recovery
Flash stock 2.3.6 fruitcake
DONE!

SUCCESS!!! Any links for something good i can install now? I havnt used cwm in years. Help a bit with links... I here cm7 is good... Believe it or not im actually not an adroid noob... Im just a noob period. Anyway i redid the process of flashing an sbf that would allow me to unlock bootloader... The 4th time i did it it worked. I have a veru very very very very bad laptop maybe thats why? Or im just a noob. Regardless its fixed and im so happy thats to the user who treated me like a noob it made me go back and redo everything i had done
