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!

Been there done that
Been there done that. I was stuck at the M logo for days about a week ago. Couldn't figure it out. Check out my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1936337 for how I solved it with help from this forum.
Good luck, I am on epinters latest and greatest CM10 now and it is grand!
I rooted my device using Gingerbreak.
I have 2.2.2 installed out of the box. I installed CWM. I installed busybox.
Busybox failed. I tried all the versions that it contains.
I checked root status, and RootCheckBasic says I'm rooted.
I installed Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. It will not reboot to CWM.
It only reboots to the standard Android recovery.
I'm trying to install Bumblebee ROM 2.4.
Here are some things I am having issues understanding with it...
Backup current apps and their data with Titanium Backup (available in the Market). Is this required? The phone is new. I have nothing to back up.
Do a nandroid backup in recovery before doing anything else below.
And the nandroid backup is done with CWM? Again CWM won't reboot, only the standard Android recovery boots.
Required if installing BB 2.x for the first time: Wipe. Wipe it all. Data, cache, system, dalvik-cache, sd-ext if you've got it (might need to look under Advanced or Mounts in recovery to do the last two, and while you're there format /system). I assume you wipe it all with CWM while in recovery?
If upgrading from BB 2.3, wipe cache (and only cache) in recovery.
Does not apply to me
If not upgrading from 2.3, install Wiper zip (see below), just to be extra sure that all is wiped. Don't reboot yet. Installing wiper.zip is done by sideloading using adb commands?
Install ROM zip (see below).
I assume this too is done by copying the zip to the external SD, then selecting update from SD card in recovery... right?
Please someone shed some light on this for me.
In standard Android recovery it says e3. I know on my Captivate I had to use Odin to install GB loaders to get it to work.
THANKS!
Flashwork mod recovery? Never heard of it.
Try downloading rom manager from the market and use that.
Everything else should be simple

Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
It's in rom manager.
Which I installed from the market.
But I don't get the CWM recovery when I reboot into recovery mode.
I get the standard Android recovery
-you know... the one that just has "install update.zip"

Oh, okay, um... are you using the reboot into recovery option in rom manager right after flashing?
After flashing what?
I reboot into recovery through rom manager and get:
Android system recovery <3e>
reboot system now
apply sdcard: update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
_________________________________________________________
Android System recovery...
Do not pull out the battery!!
After hitting flash clockworkmod recovery, immediately hit reboot recovery
After hitting anything in CWM it did nothing more than reboot into the standard android recovery.
This phone has 2.2.2 on it. Problem? Probably.
I followed instructions at androidcentral and got it to work.
Needed Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_VM
Installed BACKside-IHO-VM670-11222011
using Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_VM_Recovery-signed
Had a little problem today and needed to activate the phone. BUUUUT......
the rom didn't allow activation.
So I installed Bumblebee. No go.
Then I tried [rom] basic stock rom.
Neither of these will let my phone boot. It gets stuck at boot.
Nothing happens.
I can still boot into Xiona_CWMA. But no roms will work.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

I believe that may be due to the newer display in your phone (I'm new to this device so I dont know much yet). From the little bit of information I've gathered, devices manufactured recently have a different display that requires a kernel that supports it. In the iho roms this is included, on others you'll need to flash a kernel right after the rom.
For the stock rom I can upload what I use if you need it. Its basically the one posted here just with the boot.img swapped with one from a nandroid backup I made before switching roms
I think you're spot on with that idea.
I loaded CM7 variant, and it worked.
My question is, how do I get another ROM on it if it has the newer screen?
I loaded different kernels that were supposed to fix it, but no go.
My phone's rooted. I've read almost every thread trying to resolve my problem. I restored it to stock firmware, tried overclocking it and still no luck of resolving my screen from blacking out and leaving just the buttons lighting up. Like the other thread, i just pull out my battery to fix things but it's quite irritating to do that everytime. It happens almost 5 times a day at a random time. Can someone please help me resolve this? I'm not using any custom rom or anything.
which ROM u r using??
Optimus one
CM 6.5.8

I think this is only a software problem; try flashing miks rom if you want stability, or adfad's for new features. I have not got this bug on nightly6 but the rom isnt fully working
I'm just using a stock firmware from a thread here on how to restore to stock firmware without kdz update. I'm a noob to android so i don't know how to put any ROM yet.
If you use stockROM Froyo (2.2.X) your problem could be solve with an update to Gingerbread (2.3.3). Other causes are poor quality microsd or modified kernel (i.e. Unofficial CM)

For stockROM I use KDZ Firmware Updater, for custom ROMs you need root and install a custom recovery, then, you can install any custom ROM.

As your phone is rooted..
1. install ROM manager from market and install recovery from it... make sure you select the correct phone
2. DO NOT CHOOSE TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY VIA ROM MANAGER OR YOUR PHONE WILL GET STUCK...
3. If you are on gingerbread then you are using new baseband otherwise on froyo its old..
4. go to optimus one development section and choose the stable ROM according to your baseband..
5 download it and place it on sd card
6. Also download GAAPS and place it on sd card
7. turn off the phone and boot into recovery by holding home+ volume down+ power and hold then until you see recovery
8. use volume keys to navigate in recovery, back to go back and menu key to make selection
9. now wipe data/ factory reset,
wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and wipe battery stats..(last two are under advanced options)
also go to mount and storage and format system if you want perfectly clean install
10. now choose install zip from sd card and choose the ROM you downloaded... let it complete and after that reboot phone
11. first boot will take time.. don't panic.. after it is started again boot into recovery and install GAAPS to get market and other google apps.. reboot and you are ready to go..
NOTE:- NEVER FLASH 2 ZIPS WITHOUT REBOOTING
NEVER DO FACTORY RESET FROM PHONE WHILE USING CUSTOM ROM.. DO IT FROM RECOVERY..
I hope this will do..

I'm going to try this. I just flashed my phone again to stock firmware this time a european version. If my screen still goes black, i'll try this out.
I have been trying to get to the screen where i can install from sd but it will not let me get to that point. I boot into recovery mode but the options it gives me is
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
format internal sd-card
the letters are blue..................
can some help me out????? i want to install a different rom but i can't get to the install rom from sd option
Thanks
Download cwm rom manager from the manager, and install the recovery.
After that you can install the rom you desire!
i tried that and still same result. I have install other roms before but now it wont let me get to the install from sd screen
You should probably learn how to flash back to stock first (instructions are in many of the Guides). If you are flashing roms, eventually something will go wrong, and you will need to reflash to stock, or at least install a new kernel and recovery. Using Odin or Heimdall to install a kernel is part of the instructions for installing CM. Better to have Odin and the JFD file on hand when your phone bricks or boot-loops.

You can download CWR from my signature and put it on your internal SD. Put the update.zip on the internal and make sure it is only thing labeled .zip on there. Hit Reinstall Packages, let it cycle then hit it again. Recovery will go from blue to green and then you can install ROM from SD.
+1 on the reading and how to install ROMs. Plus while you are in CWR, go to Backup/Restore and do a nandriod backup.
Good luck.
i have all that and have gone back to stock and everything. still same results

What these guys have told you has worked time and time again for most everyone else. What I would recommend is that you get the AIO toolbox. Everything you need in a one-stop-shop.
I will be getting a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 tomorrow and I am interested in installing the PACMAN ROM
However, the instructions are not clear for me since I am new to all this. I've downloaded the roms, gapps and kernal and now the instructions say to:
'Put the files on your device
Reboot into recovery
Wipe dalvik cache
Install the zips (or do adb sideload if you want)
Reboot'
Since I have no experience with android devices, I am not sure how to do these steps. I've tried searching on Youtube but there aren't any tutorials for SGP's. I am aware that I need to do a full wipe since I am going from GB to JB (so I need to delete data, dalvik, system and dbdata). It also says to do a backup if anything goes wrong, which I am not too sure how to do as well.
If someone could explain these instructions clearly to me, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

put your device in download mode (hold down power and volume down) and flash entropy's kernel with odin.
then you will have clockworkmod recovery, which you can boot into by holding power and volume up.
in clockworkmod, you can make a backup, wipe data, and install the rest of the stuff.
you could even do all of this without ever booting up the stock rom.
This is what I do/did...
I used this tutorial to flash CWM and root
http://m.androidauthority.com/galaxy-player-5-0-android-2-3-6-root-clockworkmod-recovery-116474/
Download SuperOneClick and
Download Odin. Follow tutorial.
Odin can be used to flash ROMs or kernels and to flash CWM.
Download the Pacman ROM and a kernel and put it on your External SD card.
Use ROM Manager from the play store to reboot into Recovery mode (easiest way) or volume up and power button at the same time as the Samsung flashes after you first boot your device.
From recovery mode you can wipe dalvik cache etc, but if this is a new device, you shouldn't have to factory reset or wipe cache (I think) If you're buying a used device, wipe and reset.
You're in recovery mode still, navigate to-
"Load zip from external SD card" and select it. Navigate to the Pacman zip and select it.
You navigate using the volume up and down buttons and select using the power button.
Navigate back to main screen in recovery mode and select Reboot System.
Do the same thing to flash a kernel. If the kernel has clockwork mod integrated, load the kernel first.
I use Xplore to move files around, it's quick and easy.
The reason ppl tell you to back up any data is, they have data they want to keep. If this is a new device, you don't have anything worth saving, such as contacts apps etc.

After I flashed the kernel, it said 'PASS' on the Odin screen but now my device keeps rebooting, and it won't stop! D:
I can enter CWM Recovery, and I tried wiping data/factory reset and I've wiped cached partition but it still keeps rebooting.
If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know! I've googled this problem for 3 hours but haven't found a solution
what exactly did you do in cwm?
did you install pac rom?
if not, try installing (using install zip from sdcard) it directly over gb, after doing a full wipe.
also install gapps the same way

(I can't post links, but its the website that HOG1 posted above)
I got up to step 7, but my device kept rebooting after that. So I went in CWM recovery by holding POWER and UP buttons and wiped my data and cache but it still kept rebooting.
And I can't flash any roms since I still haven't rooted the device. I couldn't use entropy's kernel because I have an INTL Galaxy Player.

Would that work, even though I haven't rooted my device yet? Since I haven't done the steps under 'Rooting the Galaxy Player 5.0' on the link HG1 sent.
oh you have an intl device. in that case, you'll have to install cm9 first, power down, boot up into recovery and install pac rom
you dont have to be rooted for this

Okay, but in the CM9 thread the first thing it says for installation is 'Make sure your device is ROOTED' and mine is not - so are you sure it will work? I just don't want to brick my device or anything, just got it today xD
to install cm9, boot into recovery, and go to mounts and storage, then select the mount usb storage (connect your usb cable to your computer first)
then copy a cm9 rom zip over (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679957)
you should be fine
if something fails for some reason, try installing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465144 via odin (put your device in dl mode).

yup, dont forget to wipe data, cache, dalvik, (look under mounts and storage) system, and dbdata (or datadata)
All this INTL and US device stuff just throws wrenches into everything. The link I posted says it's for INTL and US devices. Apparently not the case.
I have intl kernel on my US device and it works fine, not sure why the reverse isn't true. Weird.
I use the INTL kernel because I like the governors choices.

Yeah it sucks that Samsung made different devices for different regions...Makes no sense..
But yeah, I installed CM9 and when I selected to reboot my phone from the actual ROM it said 'Rebooting...' and now its been like this for 30mins or so... :| I guess I'll have to wait for the battery to drain or something, but as soon as it does I'll wipe data, etc and install PACMAN with the new kernel and gapps. Sucks that you can't take the battery out the phone, I don't think the phone is actually gonna reboot.
EDIT: NEVERMIND, I JUST SAW ONLINE THAT YOU CAN SWITCH IT OFF BY HOLDING DOWN THE POWER BUTTON AND HOME BUTTON...Yeah I'm totally new to Android and Samsung xD
Or you could hold the power and volume up buttons to go into Recovery mode and reboot from there.
