Alright, I hate to be THAT GUY who posts a CM7 question, but I can not find it in the CM7 question post.
Heres my problem.
I have an unlocked bootloader, Tenfar's recovery, and I've flashed other ROMs, and I was pretty good at this stuff on the Motorola Bravo. When I flash it, everything goes fine, then ill reboot, and it wont get past the boot screen. The Motorola Dual Core Technology one, it doesnt even get to the boot screen. I thought it was a kernel problem, but Im using Home Base with Faux, and that works fine. Any ideas?
Im using 4.5.91. Thanks guys
Did you perform a factory reset after you flashed CM7?? If not - thats why it wont boot. you MUST factory reset to get CM7 to boot.
I did indeed. But I also wiped Cache and Dalvik, should I skip those and just do Factory reset?

Ohh ok, I didnt realize the recovery I used mattered. Now, to install that recovery, I would just install like normal off the market, right? Even though Ive already got tenfars installed?
Get rid of tenfars - its useless with CM7 - use Rom Manager's CWM or RomRacer's CWM from here on XDA - Both work just fine with CM7

Um think i just did something stupid, I flash flaux123 new kernel for cm7 and I also flashed the 4.5.91 wake on volume zip.. Now im stuck with a bootloop.. And I had just set my phone up with all my apps and the way I wanted it.. So my question is can I come from the bootloop some how without having to redo the whole install of CM7??
That feature is already built into CM. Wipe it and re-install. Since you're running pre-beta software its something you're going to have to get used to anyway...

you could also try to flash the boot.img from inside the cm7 zip, if you're stuck in a boot loop after wiping cache/user data
Hey guys maybe some budy can help, I can go into recovery and wipe data, cache etc.. but for some reason I can't run any rom that runs with sence they all get stuck at boot screen, the phone freezes,.. but I can intall miui through fastboot and everything runs ok, rom boots it doesn't get stuch what's happening, by the way I unrooted the phone the HTC way so I'm on 1.5..
You need to reinstall a different kernel through fastboot usb. If miui works then a sense rom won't until you flash compatible kernel.

Similar problem being stuck in boot screen
I am on twrp shooter 2.0 with hboot 1.5 and I was running syncombelite when I tried to in stall the CM9 Alpha build and I was not having luck with loading the rom through recovery so I tried to use Flash image GUI. It loaded the image but after it was done it would not boot. I was stuck on the HTC boot screen. I tried to do a nandroid recovery and the same thing over and over. I figured maybe try a different rom so I tried a couple.. I used one and it actually made it past the boot screen and loaded the Beats audio logo then was stuck there for maybe 30 minutes before I tried a reboot and the same thing. Then I though I wll do a superwipe so I downloaded the synergy superwipe along with the
fresh-evo-3d-4.2.0 then it made it past the HTC boot and just went black for another 30 minutes. Now I am at a loss. Please help me...

your phone is doing a boot loop b/c your boot.img file is corrupt... the rom you are trying to install isnt installing properly and is causing this issue....what version of the rom are you trying to install?

The recovery you use shouldn't matter. I have used CWM touch and non and TWRP all the same as long as it works for you. The easy way to flash CM9 is to use FlashImageGUI.apk before you wipe your current rom. Do not wipe ROM before using FlashGUI as it needs a OS to run on.
First flash recovery, whichever you want. If you don't already have one.
Put CM9 on sd
Flash boot.img from CM9.zip with Flash...GUI.apk (browse to CW9 on sd card)
Boot recovery, Flash rom from there.
(Flash..GUI should ask if you want to boot recovery after flash)
I used TWRP to flash CM9 tonight so I know it works 100%
I have tried that and I get stuck at HTC boot screen. I'm at a loss. I finally got virus eternity to flash using fastboot on my pc. I then tried ics (yes I know that's not what we were talking about) but I can't flash many different Roms lately. It's just weird. I have been rooting and flashing for a couple years now but I'm feeling more noobish lately than ever.

Okay I have been trying to get a CM9 rom to boot on my Atrix for about a week now. I am coming from Nottachtrix 1.3.1 on radio 37p with faux GB24 kernel. My bootloader is unlocked and I perform all necessary wipes before install. The furthest I have gotten any of the CM9 roms to boot is the screen that states Android Apps(or something) updateing. It then states starting system and boots back to the booting logo. I have tried fastboot -w. Formating data, cache, system, osh, pre install in mounts storage menu, and clearing both caches before and after install and I get the same results. This only happens with CM9 roms. I cannot get the CNA, Jokers, Turls, or Atrix tablet past the screen stated. I have tried with the latest rom racer from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500 and both recovery and touch recovery from rom manager and I get the same results. I have posted my issue in the dev section, but decided this was better as I did not want to clutter up the dev forum with my problems. Could it just be my Atrix or would the 37p radio have something to do with the bootlooping issue. Any help would be very much appreciated.
For some odd reason I decided to pull my external SD card before boot, and freaking BOOM BANG POW NO BOOTLOOP!

Did you flash twice ?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
I believe the problem is with the radio, I had this issue (on stock radio), then I upgraded to the newest CM9 Kang (0.4.4) and it went away. I then flashed the 37p radio in an attempt to fix a problem I've been having with my WiFi and bluetooth (they both don't work and cause reboots, I assume now it's a hardware problem) and the boot loop came back. I'm gonna try flashing some other radios to see if that works.
Yes flashed twice to no avail. Gonna try the 36p radio and stock to see if that fixes my issue.

No need to flash any ROM twice. Not going to discuss other than to say its not require
OP......Not your phone or radio. There is something you are doing incorrectly. Quite possibly wipe procedure. If I remember when I am at my PC in the morning I will PM you exact instructions, start to finish, for flashing one of the CM9 builds.

Trust me, the CM9 kang (not turl's version, haven't tried that) didn't work unless you flashed it twice up to version 0.4.2 (I skipped 0.4.3 and installed 0.4.4 straight without wiping and only flashed once and it worked, so it's possible they fixed the bug). I don't think anyone knows why, but it's been confirmed many times.

Gonna give it a shot soon as I get off work.
EDIT:
Unfortunately that was a no go as well. Followed everything to a tee and tried different kernels. I can only get the AOKP rom to boot, but its is currently without USB storage. Does anyone know a difference in the roms that would cause my Atrix to boot on one and not the other. I can also manage to get the MIUI to boot.

I think something is going on with the kernel. You may have a bad processor. That's where my train of thought is right now. Sorry I couldn't get you up and running!

Thanks for all you help. Finally got it to boot by removing external sd card.
[EDIT] Not sure but I believe the problem I had with m external sd is I still had an ext4 primary partition on it from when I was using Webtop2SD. Copying everything over to pc now and reformating external to see if my assumption is correct.
Looks like the ext4 partition on as was the culprit.

Your phone might not like going to 1.3 have you ever been able to flash a cm9 or cm9 based ROM? When you say you already unrooted what exactly do you mean...... This is my suggestion if your willing.....
Relock/Flash 1986 or 1987 your choice....
Unlock/root/rom racer cwm using the pack Loki provides in the compendium..... Then once you are confirmed rooted, unlocked, rr cwm..... Flash jokers newest recovery (I'm only suggesting this recovery because its what I use) after flashing the recovery reboot recovery, format system, data, cache..... Flash miui 2.4.13 two times one after the other.... Reboot phone this should get you running.....
If its a kernel issue as in the above statements don't work try flashing a cm9 kernel joker has Oleg/petr has gl bud hope some of that helps ill keep checking back..... Will keep trying to get you booted
MIUI/ICS for the Photon

can i get the threads for the other ones?? thanks will try!! sorry im also rooted unlocked and have cmw..
update: tried to flash miui rom again but had motorola boot screen for like 25 seconds then went black lit then powered off then back to motorola boot screen again... PLZ help if you can!! also fix my permissions and still nothing this is my first rom that im trying to flash to my photon and its frustrating!how long should it take to boot up?
so i tried that method still no success any more ideas??
So i purchased an atrix 4g off of eBay, and it has a few Root applications on it, but isn't actually rooted.
The android recovery mode is also broken, i get an android robot with the Attention symbol. Would post a link to one i found on the internet but i cannot since i am under 8 posts.
The phone was on 2.3.6 build # 4.5.141 when i received it. and i have done nothing to it so far.
So maybe someone applied OTA updates and killed the root or something, idk.
in the end the end i would like to root it with some ISC.
So is there anyway i can Reset everything to stock out of the box. Or to fix the problems with recovery?
Also for now it wont really be used as a phone, as i don't have a sim yet.
To cover the basics here let's make sure the phone isn't bootloader unlocked or rooted. To check bootloader, when you boot the phone, does the moto screen say "Unlocked" in top left hand corner of the screen? If not, it isn't. Then for root, check it with the app root checker basic or pro from market. Get back to the thread once you can answer those questions and then I will post something to help you with the getting ics.

Both of those come up as a no So no unlocked boot loader and no root
Try this but you know the risks of messing with the phone right??? Read EVERYTHING before you do. Your phone says a different version of firmware than the thread but if you look back in the posts of the thread in the end, it will work. You can also read the Atrix thread stickies.
Edit.... having trouble posting link ... give me sec.

Have you flashed a different ROM for the time being to at least have a working phone? Like a blur or cm7 ROM?
Sent from my Atrix with XDA Premium
Thats is what i was going to try next, i havent got to it today.
Are you flashing plugged in? Try flashing the rom without having your phone plugged in.
Also, if you're at the M logo screen, I suggest waiting it out for quite a while. Be patient. I used to think when I flashed roms that I was stuck at M logo, but I just wasn't waiting long enough, especially coming from a full wipe.
Otherwise, try doing a battery pull and then putting it back in and booting it up.
You can also try using Nottachtrix with the installer? I've heard that fixes a lot of people's problems that are getting stuck at logo screen.
well right now it seems that the battery is dead and wont charge....
So im not sure what im gonna do about that
Ok so im installing NottachTrix now will report how it went when done.
Also about leaving it on to boot, i did that for 24 hours, nothing happened
Edit:
It seems to be working so far. The phone is stuck at a charging screen with a battery icon, much more than it was before.
