If your rooted download the bootstrap apk. Download cwm and put it on your SD card. Open bootstrap and flash recovery. Now reboot to recovery and flash zip from SD card. Choose your cwm.zip and restart bam your set.

Are you just rooted? Or did you unlock the bootloader? If you only rooted, and are stock, just go menu, settings, privacy, factory reset. You will lose root and be back to normal.

I also have run into this problem. I one click rooted, unlocked bootloader, did the CWM per the QBKing video - went to flash CM7 and got the yellow triangle. Everything I have read states that you have to do a different type of root, which includes the Torpedo Dockless root. I have been at work all day and have not had a chance to try it out - I will be in a hour - I will update accordingly.
As for the root on stock and just doing a factory reset to remove root is untrue. I know from experience. I was rooted, on stock, and did a factory reset several times and still was rooted.

Why should it matter which way root access was achieved? Maybe this is the source of some of my problems. I guess I'll try the torpedo method now. Was using the one-click method.

sjamie,
I just unrooted my phone, and re-rooted using the method in QBKings video. I now have CM7 installed with no problems at all. His rooting method was easy. The hardest part is waiting for the download from the Pudding thread. Hope this helps.
I believe it isn't the way you rooted causing the missing recovery. But a file that automatically reverts to stock recovery in reboot. Get root explorer and delete the file and your golden. I don't remember the path but it is in one of the root threads!

Yeah, download that zip, reboot into recovery and install zip from sd. Reboot and you are done

Superoneclick hasnt worked on the atrix since 1.26... They closed that loophole a longgggg time ago
CWM + root.zip =
If you don't have/want CWM, this also works:

That method hasn't worked for me. I applied the zip via CWM and it does says rooting complete. My BL is unlocked and CWM was flashed properly. Any ideas on what I should do?

Sometimes you have to run root.zip again. Clear Dalvik, cache, and factory before root.zip, then clear all again and reboot. Try that.

Just tried you advice. Still unrooted. Wiped the two different caches, factory reseted, applied the root twice. Nothing. I miss Titanium Backup.
I wonder if it's because im official stock ROM vs a custom ROM.

This method worked fine for me. Thanks.
Eval thanks for all your hard working. Do you think is possible to update your OP, so it is clear for "noobs" that the second part of your code need to be input in adb
I found a lot of people trying to run the second code in the fastboot mode and then posting oh IT DID NOT work and actually is EASY and SAFE to root

well, does anyone know how to fix this...i put the bootstrap recovery on my photon thinking i would use it at some point...and it turns out i don't, and well, i wanna get rid of it, because now i can't charge my phone when it's turned off, it either will boot into the recovery or just hang at the moto symbol screen and i have to pull the battery to get it to work again
In the recovery app you use to boot to recovery there is a charge mode clicking that will get you what you want or you can rsd back to stock ....next time ask in general tho
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Check this and see if its what you are looking for. It will take you back to the current OTA update and not rooted, but rooting is the easy part.

just an fyi... all i did to go back to stock form is go into your settings menu under privacy and select the "data factory reset"... worked fine for me and got rid of root... checked with the root check from the app market... no need to go through all those extra steps... hope this helps...

Not sure what you did but I performed 2 full factory resets via settings and one via fastboot and still had root. Also, quote from Motorola: "A factory reset will not remove root, or restore apps that are uninstalled."
Maybe you did something else to remove root? Anyways, after all the factory resets I could still do backups, run bootstrap recovery, flash, and run all root apps.
From what I know one has to either flash the OTA/update.zip or take the official update to remove root. Or, if dock method is used can just remove some files and reboot I think.
I'm kind of curious as to why a simple method to returning back to stock recovery is not mentioned here. It would be nice to have this if possible. Flashing back to stock ROM seems to be the only real option I take it?
Well i am not rooted at the moment cause i flashed a zip that took root off and still have a custom kernal going with unlocked bootloader is that even supposed to be possible?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Thats impossible. As soon as you flashed that "zip" it over writes everything. You need to be unlock to have a custom kernel

Interesting. Interesting indeed. Is there anyway you could upload a vid of this?
i wouldent suggest it seeing now after it turned off it wouldent do the sbf files to fix. idk if it was dealing with that cause the sbf always finishes but ends up in a boot loop which as of right now im trying to fix it. but if it happens again ill c what i can do to show you. cause i always thought you had to be rooted to have an unlocked but idk if it was just a one time thing
Is the super user app installed?

I have this same issue right now how it happened for me is that I orginally used the one click root method I found here. Later down the road I noticed that a stable build of cm7 had come out so I decided to try it out. I flashed pudding and it worked just fine and unlocked the device when I went to go get clockwork on the device however, I noticed the my root was no longer working reading in the comments section I saw that the one click root method was not compatible with the unlocked bootloader. I tried to root the phone with the system.img file that it mentioned using in the guide it worked at least as far as pushing it to the device but still no root. I then tried to flash the device back to stock I used the sbf file provided and it did wipe the phone but I still have the unlock icon when I boot the phone and can no longer root it no matter what method I try. If anyone can help me with re locking my device, I would greatly appreciate it.
Have you tryed the depudding. Go into the pudding unlock section theres one that relocks it just like how u unlocked it
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
As far as I'm aware, being unlocked and being rooted are two separate processes on this phone. You don't have to have one to have the other. I've been rooted and locked, rooted and unlocked, and unlocked with no root. Hope that helps.
And I haven't had any problems with the one-click root and unlocking or sbf-ing back to stock.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Thanks for the help guys I got it to work now had to do a factory reset and then flash the sbf file and the seemed to unroot the device it still didn't unlock it however I think if I used the depudding method curly mentioned it would work.
photon
I am currently running an "unlocked bootloader" on a non- rooted system on my photon 4g. I was rooted and then unrooted because I couldn't flash cwm for some reason....I am really really looking to installing miui with the ultimate iphone theme. I love how poloshed and clean it looks!
I have experience rooting in the past but not on this phone.
I tried rooting using the manual method a couple months ago and it did not go all the way through. At one point during the root process when I had to reboot into the bootloader manually the phone entirely rebooted since the evo lte is kind of a pain to reboot into the bootloader.
Now it seems I am in a state of limbo as the phone actually has a recovery on it, but it is not rooted as i tried to use titanium backup. I have also tried to use the regawmod now that it works with version 22.13.651.1 but I can an unhandled exception error after pressing the root me button.
I assume something isnt playing nice with each other since my first attempt at rooting didnt go all the way through but did install the recovery. I actually tried to install the newest sprint update and it got stuck popping up the custom recovery. I think it would be best to revert back to completely stock and try again but i am not sure how to do so. appreciate any help!
If you have custom recovery, flash a rooted ROM to gain root access

I didnt realize that would actually work! When it popped up in recovery I could go to install from sdcard I just wasnt sure if there would be consequences doing so. So I could reboot into the bootloader, go into recovery and flash a rooted rom from there just like always and it would give me root? That would be awesome

Im using Clockwork recovery and SU ROOT.
Now im on stock recovery..

Try stock recovery to flash the update and then go back to cwm.
