[Q] Error erasing recovery for ROMRacer's CVM - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am getting an error using moto-fastboot trying to flash ROMRacer's CVM Recovery.
I have flashed the unlocked bootloader & root sbf from here using RSDLite: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138204
I have also used the one-click root here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255548
When I boot into fastboot (Pwr + Vol Down), I can complete the first step in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
However when I try:
Code:
moto-fastboot erase recovery
It gives me:
erasing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: (00180001))

Any help would be appreciated.

just get the rom manager app and flash the zip that way it works perfect hope this helps! flash rom manager recovery at the top then flash romracers recovery

Do you mean these instructions?
Install Instructions to Use RomRacer's CWM w/ ROM Manager APP:
1) Download the ".zip" file of your color choice (make sure you choose the right version AT&T or international), and place the .zip file on the sd-card (internal storage).
2) Download ROM Manager from the Market (paid or free, it doesn't matter) and install app.
https://market.android.com/details?i...mmanager&hl=en
3) Open ROM Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery," making sure to select the right device (i.e. Atrix 4G). This will flash the current version of CWM to your device, which will also work (see details/limitations discussed below).
4) Now, choose "Install ROM from SD Card", and choose the .zip file that you saved on your internal storage. You should not need to delete any of the cache options. ROM Manager will reboot the device into CWM and flash the .zip automatically, and then reboot again.
5) You should now have RomRacer's custom CWM installed over the ROM Manager version. You can now select Reboot into Recovery from ROM Manager, and it should boot into CWM Recovery.

Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167373 And scroll down to the CWM section. It is best to install this via moto-fastboot. I dont all this last nigh started with the full 1.8.3 sbf and worked my way all the way through and everything installed correctly. You prob. cant instal the new one cause you have to delete a file with root explorer before installing the new one.
The tenfar cwm that I installed was a .img that I flashed using fastboot. If you want an easier solution, just install rom manager from the market and flash its version of cwm and install the rom that way. ATRIX is now officially supported. One thing to note with this method: the cwm does not allow installing a zip from an external sd card, so be sure to move the zip to the internal before installing.

worked great thanks
Soft bricked
I am not sure exactly where I went wrong, but
1. I rooted and unlocked without any problems.
2. Downloaded CMW recovery.
3. Booted into recovery
4. Wiped
5. installed Gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM from sd card
6. After complete, wiped again
7. Rebooted
Now all I see is the Moto logo with "unlocked" in the top left corner
I cannot install I new ROM, since recovery won't read sd-ext and I can't mount usb. Please help!!
wipe dalvik and cache and then do a factory reset also make sure you are on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=641508&d=1309404399
as your recovery or else you will be stuck at the moto logo

I know what I did wrong, and I know the jeering may commence, and that is fine, just please also offer advice on how to fix.
I did not use the Tenfurs Recovery. Out of habit of using Clockworld Rom Manager- Eris, Droid, Captivate, that's what I did before reading up enough (overly excited, I know!). Now I'm stuck and cannot get past the boot logo. I keep looking around for a way to push Tenfurs recovery (or anything) using adb and I can't get things to work since I cannot boot. Any suggestions on steps to take?

I feel silly, but all is well in Moto land now. Of course I got myself into all of that trouble because I was impatient. I did the following to fix everything. I know these details are elsewhere...
Fastboot from Windows:
fastboot.exe -w
fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img (tenfar's)
fastboot.exe reboot
flashed Gingerbread and rebooted. I'm good to go!

The recovery with all the colors is romracer's, which can be downloaded here. It's generally the one most people recommend using. It sounds like you need to delete your install-recovery.sh file to get rid of that exclamation point. Try the following from romracer's thread:
Thanks to mrinehart93 for pointing this out.
The system runs /system/etc/install-recovery.sh on boot with its stock rom. On boot it checks the recovery partition for some update and with CWM installed decides to reflash the stock recovery over it. Rename or delete the file and the CWM should stick.

I had the same problem before I installed romracer's CWM. It's the only one I've used since. If you decide to install his, Rom Manager should recognize it and allow you to use it instead of its stock one. Just don't flash CWM from within the app after that, or I think it will overwrite romracer's with the stock Rom Manager one.

Flashing a rom

I've searched all over the forum, but I just wanted to make sure before doing this. I have rooted my Samsung S2 with Odin. I now downloaded a custom rom, specifically HyperDroid-Androidmeda.
It's in a zip file, and it was to my understanding that I flash it the same way in Odin by clicking PDA. However, it's a zip file, and not tar, so I can't bring it in.. Do I just rename zip to .tar and flash it how I rooted it? Thanks guys!

Read this, this and this so you know what you are getting yourself into.
Also read the Hyperdroid thread, it has a how-to flash it and more info on the rom.

Yeah, I have gone through it all.
Installation Guide: (via CWM Recovery)
1. Install Base (*****install any updates posted HERE for Delta Updates)
It doesn't say how though.. it just says install it. I came from the HTC Hero, so I assume you throw the zip on your sd card, but mine doesn't have an SD card, so I am not sure how to open the internal storage of the phone and install from there in clockworkmod
edit: enabled usb debugging, the mounted data and usb storage. all good, thanks for the help anyway
To flash
1) Flash a kernel with CWM recovery (Cf-root is most popular as a basic rooting/CWM kernel) (Recovery is built into the kernel in samsung phones)
2) Copy the zip file into your internal SD card
3) reboot into recovery (Home > vol up > power when phone turned off)
4) chose flash zip from sd card
5) chose internal sd card
6) select zip
7) flash
8) wipe data/cache/dalvik cache when moving from custom rom/custom rom

Yeah I did all of that, but suffer from a boot loop when the hyperdroid logo is first shown and the voice says 'wecome'. Pretty sure I didn't miss any major steps. Got any ideas?

First boot takes ages, upto 10mins, did you flash the newest HyperDroidV5.2.21 base? Was the zip about 359MB?

I flashed Hyperdroid_Androidmeda_v5.2.21_signed.zip yeah.. not stable? The boot loop is surely not supposed to happen. Thanks for the support btw!
edit: oh i didn't understand that was it booting up! I am so used to getting boot loops from my HTC Hero that I thought it was an error! Thanks

That zip should be fine, and the bootloop shouldn't happen, after flashing the zip and wiping cache/data/dalvik it should take upto 10mins to boot the first time as it has to rebuild the cache, it will look like its bootlooped but its just slow!

I know that is why it is weird.. whenever i try to wipe data using 5.0.2.7 it suddenly restart and cant flash anything even my nand backup my phone becomes an endless bootloop.. and since i can't flash older or other roms using 5.5.0.4 that is why i did downgrade to 5.0.2.7
But in 5.5.0.4 i can wipe and flash the superwipe script then flash back to his rom which is the BulletProof v2.5.0
Will 5.5.0.4 works on the official t-mobile ruu rom with root already?
P.S. i know about the PH85IMG.zip to go back to stock

Love your work bro but your drama is rediculous. Your threads appear and dissapear and then reappear and then you say your gone and then you say your back, now your gone again. Bye.
I have never seen any other developer do any of those things btw. If they get upset at whatever, they stay off the forums a bit, cool down, and come back. Or they don't come back. Thats fine. But they dont delete their threads then recreate them then ask them to be deleted again. Stop confusing the people that look to these forums for help on their devices. If you are upset at XDA fine, but don't take it out on your supporters or the people that depend on you.
lol I find it funny how they are named "easy method" , "hard method"
They're all easy!
There is really nothing you can really do wrong if you read the 4 line instructions lol

Install Odin on your PC, get the samsung drivers by installing Kies.
Hold down volume down key, middle of d-pad and power buttons all together while phone is off.
Put a different Rom .zip on your sd card using a PC.
Use Odin to flash clockworkmod to the phone, when fiinshed the phone will boot into cwm.
Use cwm to install the zip you put on the sd.
Reboot into the stable ROM.

I use Odin Multi Downloader v4.34
The data partition not formating would be a cause for concern, if I was you I would try formating it with ClockWorkMod by doing a data wipe/factory reset.
If it was me I would use my computer to put CyanogenMod 7.2 .zip file on the SD (its stable and handy for getting things working)
Most stock ROMS won't flash through CWM.
So to summerise I would try this:
Go into download mode.
Link up with Odin and select your OPS file (make sure GTI5500 OR 5503 appears at top and not the word Android)
Select "One Package" in Odin options
Download a .zip of Clockworkmod for galaxy 5
select it as the One Package and don't touch the other boxes...
let clockworkmod flash into the phone and let it boot into it
now try the data wipe in clockworkmod
install the cyanogenmod zip from the sd and reboot
good luck
I've attached my Clockworkmod Zip file. I use it at least once a week so its good

Your welcome, I did a dance too the first time I booted CyanogenMod after a brick

I use Odin Multi Downloader v4.34
The data partition not formating would be a cause for concern, if I was you I would try formating it with ClockWorkMod by doing a data wipe/factory reset.
If it was me I would use my computer to put CyanogenMod 7.2 .zip file on the SD (its stable and handy for getting things working)
Most stock ROMS won't flash through CWM.
So to summerise I would try this:
Go into download mode.
Link up with Odin and select your OPS file (make sure GTI5500 OR 5503 appears at top and not the word Android)
Select "One Package" in Odin options
Download a .zip of Clockworkmod for galaxy 5
select it as the One Package and don't touch the other boxes...
let clockworkmod flash into the phone and let it boot into it
now try the data wipe in clockworkmod
install the cyanogenmod zip from the sd and reboot
good luck
I've attached my Clockworkmod Zip file. I use it at least once a week so its good

Yep! There is no key combo for recovery on Galaxy5, if I need to boot recovery and cannot load the rom I just put it in download mode and use odin to reflash clockworkmod, then when its finished it auto boots into cwm and I do whatever I need to
