Hello, I have a noob question that might have been answered, How ever i cannot find any thing on here or the web. So if any one can help please let me know.
The problem: Rooted and unlocked bootloader. Flashed CM7 nightly 15 got infinite loop splash screen, So i re-wiped all catches and cleared system and tried fresh install through cwm recovery 4.0.1.4 and now all that will pop up is Moto start screen. I can still access recovery and had a friend charge my battery. I have no clue on why things are not working. Again I apologize if this has been answered before. If any one can help I would greatly appreciate it!

Flash RomRacer's latest CWM Recovery (in dev section). Boot into fastboot and fastboot -w, upon reboot enter Recovery, factory reset/wipe data, wipe cache partition & wipe dalvik cache. Flash CM7, then wipe cache partition & dalvik again before rebooting... report back.
That worked great, thank you very much!!!!

Make sure you have the lastest cwm.if you have older version it will bootloop and just because you boot loop don't mean there is something wrong with your phone its something your doing wrong.

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I think this is in the right place.
I used this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206746 to flash my HTC Sensation. I rooted, S-OFF and everything went fine. I flashed and backed it up. Now there were no error during flash (I flashed with the Clockwork app) and it rebooted and now for the last 40 minutes, its been stuck on the loading screen where it says "HTC, quietly brilliant" and then it starts again, and again and again. Slightly annoying now...
I have no idea what is wrong or what I should do.
Let me know if you need anymore info...

Did you wipe EVERYTHING before flashing?

Reflash. If not go to recovery. And wipe data. You might have a boot loop.

Thanks for the quick reply's and help. I realise now that I did not wipe EVERYTHING because I wanted to keep my HTC "scene" layout. I've restored it from before i flashed it and i'm going to flash again. Thanks again. Ill post if it worked.
Edit
I'm using Titanium Backup to save it all by the way and I've "Thanks" you all.
Well, did it work cuz I got stuck in that constant boot up mode yesterday and I just took the battery out and than held down volume plus power button went into HBoot than recovery and I had my original system backed up so I just wiped than restored my original than went in and flashed the ROM properly and all good now just thought this might help?
In ROM Manager, "ROM Pre-Installation" is "backup existing rom", "wipe data and cache" and "wipe dalvik cache. My question is, what is dalvik cache?

It seems I was flashing the theme for the ROM without the ROM. Anyway I downloaded the right one and it still doesn't work. Can someone just check this list of what I'm doing.
(Already Backed Up ROM)
- Open ROM Manager
- "Install Custom ROM"
- Choose the "P3D_Full_Wipe.zip"
- Let that flash and what not
- Boot into HBOOT
- Recovery
- Install zip from SD
- Choose "CdTDroid....zip"
- Let that do and what not
- Click "Reboot and start system"
Also, I'd like to know how to flash from Recovery. I think ^^that's^^ how.
~Ak
Nope. It still doesn't work. No matter how many times I do it. I did it exactly right this time. I did it all from the ClockworkMod Recovery place. It still doesn't work. It just says HTC and it doesn't even come up with the slogan. I don't know what to do now.... Please help!
Edit
I've done everything in this post to root my phone with S-OFF and everything. I haven't used any other guides or anything.

Are you only trying to wipe by using that zip? Forget about that and wipe using the options in your recovery

Just trying that now and waiting..... How long will I have to wait for it to boot? So far its been 45 secs and its just flashed the slogan up on the loading screen.
It loaded! Yay! Now how to get the theme....
Can't you just do everything in recovery, your theme should still be in there if you backed it up just wondering?
Figured out that I posted in the wrong section(mods please remove that thread)
Ok guys..... newbie here .... literally I'm new to Boot unlocking, root, Flashing etc.
Anyway I have followed this forum for so long that I decided to take plunge yesterday and get my hands dirty.
Here is what I did:
Unlock bootloader, root and install recovery on my Atrix 4G. Atrix was @ 2.3.4 and 4.5.91 during unlocking & root(rooting & unlock from this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871)
Rebooted the phone and everything seems to be in place. Atrix loaded like the way I bought it 7 months back. No problem until now.
Also created a restore folder on my external SD. Worked fine and was successful in creating backup with time stamp
Now here are my steps and subsequent issues that I'm facing:
1. Downloaded CM9 zip file from this thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500535) along with Gapps to my external SD
2.Entered recovery mode during bootup and tried to flash CM9 and Gapps. Flashing seem to have gone well and completed (note I did not do clear data, clear cache or clear dalvik cache under advanced options being a newbie)
3. Reboot the phone and can only see red Moto logo and unlocked on top. Left for about 5 minutes and nothing happened.
4.Did a battery pull and entered recovery mode. wiped data, cache & cleared dalvik cache
5.Went to Install zip from sdcard option and tried to reflash CM9. Flashing seems to have gone well and completed
6. Reboot phone and again can only see Moto Red logo with unlock on top and nothing more.
7.Battery pull followed by recovery. But This time I tried to restore from my external SD. also wiped data, cache & dalvik cache
8.Restore took about 3 minutes and completed.
9.Reboot the phone. Now the phone boots and goes to Rethink possible screen and get sstuck.
10. Left it for 1 hr....nothing.
11.tried steps 7-9 again and still stuck in "Rethink possible" screen during boot.
12.Entered Recovery mode to try stable Nutrino ROM, same problem (stuck @ M logo screen which says unlocked)
13. Cleared data, cache and tried restore and now my phone boots up with flashing M screen.
What did I do wrong? Did I soft brick the phone? I can still enter recovery mode and read my internal and external SD and can see all files. i hope I didn't brick my phone doing this. If I did, I would regret!
Here are my options:
1.I know there is a way to hide 'unlock' during boot up (if someone can point to it obviously). Hide the 'unlock' and return the phone to ATT and tell them that phone would not boot after 2.3.6 update and get a refurbished one
Please let me know what your thoughts are. I'm currently crapping on my pants
Hmm... I would "fastboot -w", wipe cache/dalvik/data again, and try restoring your nandroid backup. (Or was that your Neutrino attempt?)
OR, do the wipe again and flash a 2.3.6 fruitcake to see if it boots normally. Just to see if there's some issue with your rom download or if it's really the phone.
The only way to hide the unlocked text is to flash an SBF using RSD Lite, which runs the risk of bricking your phone if you flash the wrong version.
Download a Fruitcake from here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009 and put it on your sdcard.
reboot to recovery
wipe dalvik
wipe cache
reboot to fastboot
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
fastboot reboot (to recovery)
flash ROM
reboot
Let your phone sit until it boots up completely, then let it sit for another 10 minutes. Remember, your phone can take 15 minutes to boot up the first time after flashing a ROM, especially if a new kernel was flashed with it.
Yeah I would try a fast boot wipe the whole shabang fastboot -w and then fastboot erase preinstall
Then also erase boot
System
Cache
Userdata
Web top
Then go into cwm and do the wipes you've been doing then flash the rom

Think I covered all that already, and fastboot -w just wipes cache and userdata anyway, so no need to do a fastboot -w. What I have in the post before you is the cleanest way to wipe and flash a new ROM.
Thank you....I haven't tried the soft brick fix yet.
But from reading one other thread which had similar problem, it looks like after installing romracer's CWM, things got fixed.

Will be trying this tomorrow.
Hmm.. this thread seems to be dead..
This treads seems to be dead... I was hoping to get some help with some soft bricked atrix HD... any suggestions?

This is the Atrix 4G board, not Atrix HD.

Yeah i know, but what i want to know if this method is compatible with a soft bricked atrix HD becaused there isn't much info about this particular phone on the web.

No. Totally unreleated hardware. There's an Atrix HD section you can ask in over here, which you clearly already knew about because you've already asked your question in it. Why spam over here? I'm sure somebody who actually knows the device you have will answer your question, but this is not the place to ask it.
Edit: But feel free to flash an Atrix SBF/Fruitcake on your Atrix HD if you'd like to actually brick it.

You should take your question back to the HD Thread, a discussion at this one is TOTALLY off topic for this thread due to the entire device being different.
Thanks!
P.S. Closing thread
I unlocked my bootloader, installed CWM and wiped to install jokersax's cm9. I got stuck at my red M logo. I decided to wipe (dalvik cache, cache, data. Also format /system and /cache) and recover from my backup.
Since then I've been getting the bootloop. Please, does anyone have any tips for me?
I've haven't seen someone with the same problems, sorry if I missed something.
Repaired!!! Thank you for visiting!
I repaired the problem by flashing with RSD-lite and the Bell stock sbf for 2.3.6
Sorry about the unnessecary thread.
I hope this helps anyone else in the same position.
Thanks for visiting! I appreciate your time!
Hello, I need help. I tried to update my phone to a new ROM and now it is only booting in bootloader and says there is no OS. I have downloaded a RUU that matched, renamed it and put it on my microsd and tried to flash it but it reboots in TWRP. I have a backup and when I try to restore it says Restore Complete Failed---E: Cannot restore System -- mounted read only. I really love the M9 and want it back up and running can anyone please help me get it back functioning? It does not have fastboot option and adb server out of date. Pretty much a noob here. I have flashed other Roms before, but this M9 is proving to be a pain. I have been researching thread after thread and still no luck. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Here is info on device:

Thanks I figured I will look at how to relock the bootloader without fastboot. I honestly didn't think I could install a rom because I figured most needed MM7 and I dont have that installed which is what happened when I tried to install Viper Rom
Got it working again. I had to restore only the boot and system image. After it rebooted I then restored data and it's back to normal.

i woke up today and my phone died of charge. I plugged in the charger and tried to power up my phone. It was stuck in a bootloop. So, I went into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik cache, rebooted, and still didnt work.
I then went to wipe and did the thing where twrp asks to do a factory reset by wiping cache, dalvik cache, and data. Still didnt worl, so i took out the sd card and did it again. Still bootloops. So, i then wiped dalvik cahce, cache, system, and data. Now, my phone is stuck in the white HTC logo with red text. and twrp tells me there is no os installed, are you sure you want to continue? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS! PLEASE PLEASE REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

Hey did you get it to work? Just seeing this post. If you backed up your system and boot images boot into twrp and flash those copies you made before the wipes. See where that gets ya. Hopefully you got it fixed by now.
