I've been shuffling through threads for the past 2 days trying to find a fix a no luck yet so i'm making my own noob post.
yesterday after flashing CM7 to my atrix, I was trying to install the Gapps package and after that install my phone wont boot past the logo screen.
Im still able to access fastboot and get into android recovery. I've tried to wipe everything and reinstall cm7 but still nothing.
i read that some people were able to get this issue resolved using command prompt and fastboot commands, but im totally lost when it comes to command prompt and couldn't get working correctly.
any suggestions or fixes would be greatly appreciated

Just to be clear:
1. You successfully booted into CM7 after installing it? Then you went to install gapps and couldn't get past the boot logo?
2. Or were you trying to install gapps right after flashing CM7 (i.e. stayed in recovery and did not boot into OS)?
i Successfully booted into cm7 then went back into recovery to install the gapps package and after that install it wouldnt boot past the logo

Hmm, well that definitely rules out an outdated recovery, which is what usually causes people to get stuck at the bootlogo. If you can't even re-install after wiping, then I would just restore a backup and start over.
Maybe try getting a fresh download of the gapps package. You may have possibly had a corrupted download?
Are you running CWM recovery or Rom Racer's? I had a problem where I was stuck at the boot logo while using CWM (latest one) but when I switched to Rom Racer's recovery and flashed everything worked.
I ended up having to use an older CWM recovery and wiping the phone and SD card with a lot of help from a friend of mine whos knows more about this than i do

How did you prep for the CM7 and GAPPS flash? If you did not wipe correctly, there was a first indication you might have problems.
How long did you wait after the phone first booted into CM7? If you rebooted as soon as the OS was up, that's more than likely your issue. You need to wait 10 minutes to let the phone build system files after flashing.
Also, an older CWM would have, if anything, caused more problems. If you had the latest ROM Manager or Romracer CWM then that was definitely not your problem, so your friend using an "older" CWM wasn't helping any.

I have run into this issue before when flashing any apps that update an app that is already there. I have found that a Dalvik wipe is needed before the flash. It is good practice to wipe Dalvik at least when flashing anything that changes the System Files. I also wipe the cache Partition before any flashes just to help mitigate issues like this.

Ok so im realtively new to working on android phones, just got an atrix, rooted fine, superuser and all bootloader unlocked and stuff, booted into clockwork mod for the first time.
When i did this i clicked on "install update from SD card", chose Greyblur as a test rom cause i seen it on the guide to flash roms, so i followed what they did exacly, when i installed it, i went straight to the "reboot" button, clicked reboot and when it did it wont go past the Dual Core Technology screen, please help me android atrix veterans! i dont have insurance and ive been searching for about a week now, im really scared that im royally screwed, i bought accessories for the phone and want to use them on a non-soft bricked phone!
Please and thanks!
1. Install Romracer's cwm
2. Greyblur is a pseudo-rom, try any rom at the top in the development forum instead. I'm using Nottach's Dark Side right now, it's crazy fast and is very stable.
i have cwm, the problem is i just cant get booted into it without getting on my phone, and launching it via an app i have, is there a way to get on the CWM recovery without an app? cause when i click android recovery it takes me to the stock recovery
Ok, sounds like you installed Tenfar's OLD clockwork recovery, which was only a 'bootstrap' recovery.
What you need to do is, try getting into recovery by doing this:
power off.
press and hold power and vol down buttons until you see 'fastboot' appear on screen. press vol down 7 times until you see 'android recovery' and press vol up key.
This may or may NOT work since you installed the boostrap recovery from Tenfar.
If it DOES work. Do a factory reset. and reboot. See if its fixed.
If not do this:
Download RomRacers Recovery and flash via Fastboot
then do the same button commands to get into Recovery and try to factory reset again.
If none of that works, PM me with your information, such as Android version (froyo, gingerbread, etc etc) and I'll get you sorted.
how do i use fastboot? do i need a program or something on my computer? never touched fastboot before i dont think
Hey i have a similar problem my phone was rooted and an unlocked bootloader using the automatic unlocker and i went to install a rom i believe it was called unofficial aroma rom by th3 bill i went to install it from tenfars cwm and i wiped every thing first and when i went to install the rom it finished in like 5 seconds i pretty new to all this but i thought something was up when it rebooted it wont go past the dual core screen so i went and looked around and found that it could be a kernel issue or a recovery be outdated issue since when i tried to restore my back up on tenfars it still wouldn't go past the dual core screen i then put olmypus cwm on it to see if that wont fix it but i guess that made it worse cus now when i went to go restore I it says error mismatch mdsum so yeah i looked around and read that i can return to stock by flashing a fruitcake but before i did that i thought i should make sure first.hope you guys can help

alright so i did what you said and I'm just guessing the rom just doesnt work for my phone cuz it installed in 5 secs again and i installed a previous version of the rom and it didn't work as well it took me to a rom setup screen like asking me what i want to wipe and what memory to use and then installed pretty quick as well and it didn't boot past the dual core i then whent ahead and flashed the fruit cake rom which is pure stock 1.4.1 and now my phone works...i now have a couple questions do you think it would be smart to back up this rom and keep it as my back up even though its not my real original stock rom? my original one doesn't work it gets a md5 mismatch error or something and doesn't restore.i read some where that tenfars recovery doesnt back u roms properly and that might me why because that what i backed up on should i install rom racer recovery i read that that one is specifically for the atrix if should can you explain how to do that?lastly i stil want to put a custom rom on my phone because the whole reason i did this was because i found out i wasn't getting ics but
each of the two roms i installed never booted up and the only one that worked was the fruit cake do you know a good stable rom to use preferably ics or jellybean?i was also looking into the neutrino v2.9 rom but the linked is down and you need rom racer to install if you cant answer anything i asked please do thanks so far though

go back into recovery by pressing volume down while it's turning on. Then mount sd storage (from recovery) and past into your sdcard an other better rom).Unmount when transfer is complete. WIPE ALL: factory reset, cache and dalvik cache. Install the zip from sdcard. Enjoy
Try formatting data and cache. Format options should be under advanced - mount menu. After formatting your data and cache go to install zip from sdcard and install the new rom. Do wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.

This happened to me too, I flashed an up to date cwm and flashed the JB ROM again and that solved my issue, its a strange one!

Hey guys, first off this is not a thread to ask for how to get out of a boot loop, so don't flame me before reading it.
I've been running various Stock roms, KG2/KI3/KJ2 which are all flashed through Odin and work fine, but I can't seem to flash ANY roms at all using CWM, I've tried wiping the cache and wiping user data before flashing but everytime I use CWM to flash my phone gets stuck in a boot loop, tried various roms and they all get stuck in boot loop which I have to use Odin to fix and root so I can get CWM again, but out of the 5 or so roms I've flashed with CWM they all seem to put the phone into a boot loop. Anyone have any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?
I know how to fix the boot loop, what I want to know is how the heck do I get roms to run when flashed using CWM. I've used CWM on numerous other android devices and I'm pretty sure I'm flashing it right (clear user data, clear cache, install zip from sdcard). I mean its not rocket science. Would really appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.
Have you tried flashing it twice in a row, without reboot in-between?
That I haven't tried. I'll give it a try. Cause nothing seems to be working.
Ok, just tried double flashing without rebooting and it still does the boot loop.
Hello All,
I am able to flash my phone to any other rom so I was looking for some help to get ICM up and running.
If I flash my phone with beta 0.4.3 or 0.4.4 cwm flashable i reboot my phone and it sits in the "unlocked" Motorola Dual Core Technology screen and won't boot. Any ideas or can I get you information off my phone to assist?
Thanks,
Olsookie

Make sure to use Joker's Clockworkmod recovery, named cwm-v3, here.
Thanks gollyzila, I am using the Jokersax CWMv3 recovery image at this time. I meant to mention that earlier in my first post.
Thanks,

I would recommend flashing 0.4.0 first, then Gapps if you want it, then boot up. Then wipe cache and flash to 0.4.4 and re-flash Gapps. This method has been posted for the previous couple versions to avoid problems and seems to resolve a lot of issues. Might give it a shot and at least see if 0.4.0 will boot. Also check to make sure your download is the correct size and not corrupted.
try pulling the battery and then booting again. if that doesn't work flash 0.4.0 first like ccallahan suggested

wala! that worked. thank you very much CCallahan. much appreciated.
i was having the same problem heres what i did i factory reset cleared cache/dalvic installed 3.1 then reboot wipe cache/dalvic then i flashed 4.4 over it
when you first flash any cm9 fresh, not over a backup, you must flash twice. Joker has mentioned this many times that the scripts he has for the install have to run twice in order to fully install.
1. Flash cm9 (whatever beta you want)
2. Reboot recovery (in advanced in cwm)
3. Flash rom again
4. Flash gapps
5. Boot to system
You should be good to go now

I was trying to flash CM and made the stupid mistake of only flashing the boot.img and now my dna repeatedly restarts and won't get past the droid light thing. The rom files and gapps are not on my sd card. I can't get a connection to adb and my computer doesn't see the device. ADB will recognize the device at one part during the bootloop but says "offline" right next to it. I'm s-off (moonshine), rooted, and have CWM recovery. I've tried wiping the cache, dalvik cache, and tried a factory reset. None of those worked. If I lose this phone I'm really screwed, is there no way to get out of this?

Boot in CM recovery and there is an option to connect the phone to the computer as a USB. There you can put the rom files etc and flash it again.

I was trying to install Cyanogenmod 12 on my Note 3, I tried installing the zip through TWRP recovery, and it just booted to my old stock screen, so I downloaded the associated recovery, wiped and installed....and now I think I'm stuck.
Booting into recovery gives a blank screen, and the phone does not boot since I've wiped.
Any suggestions or fixes?
Thanks.
Maybe I'm in the wrong spot, but can anyone help me?
