Were you rooted before flashing cm7? because I experienced the same issue when I unlocked my BL and tried to install cm7 without root...tried different methods but none worked, I hope I'm wrong but I think you might have soft brick and the only method that worked for me was flashing a SBF file through rsdlite
Check out this thread, it will help you solve your issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138204

I did charge it the first time i plugged it in it went straight to the battery (good) but then a couple mins later my gf hit the wire knocking it out the socket i plugged it back it but now it jus goes to the moto logo and i was using this recovery.

i tried and it chared the first time but now when i plug it in it goes straight to the moto logo
edit: its charging at 40% and the nest step is to flash a better rocovery i think. or a different kernel but how do i do this if i cant put phone into mass storage to copy it over ?

So can you charge your phone?
Can you enter fast boot mode?
Aren't you using rom racers recovery mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
You could flash it via fastboot
Then perform a fastboot full wipe (there's a script that does it all, check dev section )
And tried reflashing cm7;
Or flash a stock rom check fruit cake

I figured out why my phone wasn't working well cm7 at least I was using the wrong recovery I flashed a cwm recovery and Bam it worked like a charm now I have no idea as to why the recovery I had at first wouldn't restore a backup that it had made but oh well its running smoother then ever before.
thanks to everyone on this thread and the few others I've been to.
Much appreciated

[Q] How to root 2.3.4

I'm fairly new to xda and android and i would like to root my atrix and install cwm.
Can someone give me a link to the easiest way to root the atrix that works with 2.3.4?
And also, by using any of the rooting methods will I lose any data at all on my phone(like contacts, pictures, apps, etc.)?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255548
rooting won't cause you to lose data, but unlocking the bootloader will put you in a stock state.
THANKS!
thank you so much for that link!
I just rooted it and it was super easy. I was kind of intimidated by the complicated steps that I saw over on another website.
Thanks again!
I just need help installing cwm now, and honestly, i have no idea where to start.
All help appreciated!

do you have AIM or MSN? i'll walk you through the steps to unlock your bootloader and install CWM.
I actually never understood what unlocking the bootloader did.
And as for CWM, is it supposed to look like this?

Sorry, another question
Just one more question.
Does applying a theme from CWM wipe your phone?
What about applying a rom? Would that wipe your phone?

you have to unlock your bootloader before you can get CWM on a motorola atrix, unfortunately. to do so, you'll need to flash pudding from the development section and run the fastboot oem unlock script in fastboot mode
after that, you can fastboot flash a recovery. you'll get into CWM by booting up into recovery mode, the same way you boot into fastboot mode or RSD mode.
installing a theme won't wipe your data, no. and for your other question, that isn't CWM recovery; it will look more like this: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ClockworkMod-Recovery-31.png
Fruit cakes and CWM question
I have a similar question.
A helpful explanation from a dev/member http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261&page=48 explains how to unlock and root.
However, he says to add ROM Racer's CWM and 2 Fruitcakes/
What are Fruit Cakes? What do they do?
Yes, applying a rom wipes your phone, but you can back up all youre contacts a and data and apps with things like titanium backup and my backup pro. After flashing a rom you can restore your apps and data. hope this helps.

Fruitcakes allow you to get your phone back to "stock" via CWM, instead of having to flash an sbf. If you have an official update of GB on your phone, with an unlocked bootloader, you can brick your phone by trying to flash a pre-GB sbf. Read that thread and you'll get a much better understanding of why they are a very good thing.
Simply put, they are a safe way to get your phone back to out-of-box condition, but with an unlocked BL.
this is an excellent tutorial video on how to unlock your boot loader he even shows you how to re lock it, even though i haven't re locked it.

cant root my samsung galaxy showcase sch-i500

Hello i am new to this website and i was wanting to know how to root my samsung galaxy showcase sch-i500 from c-spire wireless.I had my phone rooted before i upgraded to gingerbread the other day.I have found some directions on the website but i guess i am not doing them right.I downloaded the gingerbreak from chasefire and i scaned it with my phone but it is showing as wall papper on my applications any help would be appreciated and sorry for asking this question if it has already been asked thanks
Try this app
This is the easiest one I'd used to root my Fascinate I500, But remember to manually restart your phone by removing your battery and putting it back in. For some reason it's not doing that at the end of the process. Good luck.

Rooting i500
Did you ever get root enabled, I imagine you tried superoneclick and it failed. If you didn't get root I can help. It requires cwm and a root-package zip that you flash with cwm.
Problems rooting
I think it may have worked for the original poster but i am having BIG problems rooting my phone from cspire. The one click does not work and i have tried three other ways to do it. I am able to get recovery console access but past that nothing has happened. I followed the instructions at galay forums.net (wont let me post link but when i got to the part where i install the "su-x.x.x.x.zip" file i get the message "installed successfully. enjoy!" but when i reboot to try to go to the next step it always reboots into the recovery. Please help!

thats the exact setup I havei just got this phone asa replacement, did you use Odin to flash recovery then flash zip I linked up?I can send you what ever file you need to complete it(recovery root zip etc.) just lemme know
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
Yes I used the recovery flash (red clockwork mod) to flash the zip you uploaded for me. It says that it installs and that there are no problems but when I back out and reboot it will just boot back into clockwork rather than into the android os. The closest I've had it to booting right was using the su.x.x.x.x.zip file but when that was used my phone just boot looped (samsung logo boot up bid sanding logo for about two minutes reboot rinse and repeat)

Possible Brick HELP!!

Thank you in advance.
I just got my SGS2 back from repair today (stuck pixel) and I wanted to installe CM9. I thought I'd start with the latest CWM - the link was broken so I flashed CWM 4.0.0.8, which flashed fine.
When the phone rebooted, it sat in a loop doing nothing. I then flashed CWM 4.0.1.4, which also did not help. I attempted to wipe cache using CWM. A heap of errors scrolled down the screen. I thought I'd restore back to factory kernel and rom, which I did. I am still in bootloop and I have the following text on screen when I go to stock recovery

dunno...most likely you flash wrong rom without reading first...or your zip file not finished download....
check you file..name, actual size before flashing
I hadn't even gotten as far as flashing a ROM, to obtain root, I attempted to use CWM, that is when things went wrong
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 try this even i got strucked like that wen i tried to flash custom rom

That would work, but multiupload is busted
Wipe data/factory reset, clear cache.. The it will start a fresh.. Then re-root if needed.. Hope this helps
This post was most of the solution. After this, I could flash an old version of CMW that worked. Following that, I could flash cyanogen mod 9. Thanks to all

Youre already in fastboot mode. Simply follow the instructions for using fastboot to unlock. This is not a hardbrick and is a normal part of unlucking phones on 4.5.91+.

read the whole thread. the answer should be there.
I would flash ClockWorkMod as recovery.

I prefer the Touch version, much easier to use.
Then just flash with fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery <yourImagePath>.img

Also, check out ePinter's CM10 (not the 10.1, it's not that stable), which you can flash from the new recovery. Don't forget the Google Apps package (install AFTER the main image).

The CWM is not installed properly...your phone is not bricked.
Disable LG Virtual Modem in Device Manager and then your phone will be detected..Flash stock rom through kdz and then root.
Make sure the data is not switched off when downloading cwm (probably screen off = data off)
Dude relax this is heppen to me like 3-4 time.thats why i am not using rom manager to flash recovery.use lgmdp and flash recovery and flash any rom.and fellow all step and reinstall drive sometime phone detected.try 3-5 time and follow all steps.
