[Q] ROM Change now stuck on dualcore screen - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just switched to the Neutrino v2.2. Tried GT first then the EE. both are not going past the dualcore boot screen. I formatted my SD card before installing the rom. Not sure what i need to do to fix this. I can still get into recovery also but IDK how im going to put another rom on the sd card to try another one any suggestions?

This is a known issue with Neutrino at the moment. All you need to do is when it gets to the Boot screen just pull the battery and boot again, should work after that.

tried that 2x will try again..

Also, I noticed you said you put it on your sd card. I think you need to install it from the internal storage. Just boot into recovery and go to "Mount storage" and select to mount the internal storage and plug into your computer. Should be able to move files then.

you can move files w/o being able to get into the rom?? btw i tryed battery pull and still stuck at the boot screen :-/

I can see my sd card but my "g" drive is not avail..

Yes. Which recovery are you using? When you boot into recovery there should be "- mounts and storage", select it and at the bottom there should be "mount USB storage"

yup seen it and did it. I see my SD card in mycomputer but the G drive wich is my internal is not accessable

That's weird because "G" usually means External for me. Anyways, try selecting "mount emmc" in the same menu

actually mounted all of them so i knew i got the right 1 lol maybe that is the problem is the emmc folder..... is there a way i can "reflash" ext 4 or 3? i still have the emmc but if im not mistakin thats what the ext 3 or 4 creates.

That's just how CWM reads the file structure. If you can access it then it will work when flashing by selecting "install zip from internal storage".... I think. It's been a while since I have had to use it that way. But if you can access the internal storage then try putting the ROM zip there and retry flashing from internal

Thats the problem. I cant access the internal i just can access the sd card where I already put the zip file :-?

Well, you can put another ROM zip there that can be flashed from external. Also, make sure to perform the wipes necessary, either through fastboot or recovery. Hope you get it worked out.

could the problem lie with formatting the EMMC?

Possibly, at this point you're probably looking at a full wipe anyways so it shouldn't hurt anything.

I appreciate all your help bro

full wipe as in fact reset/delete cache and dalvik if so i do that each and every time I switch roms

Yeah, that's what I meant. Although, some people recommend doing the full "fastboot erase [partition]" wipes if you are going from a Blur based ROM to a CM7 based ROM, and vice versa.
boot into fastboot
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
fastboot reboot
NOTE: when using this method you should already have the ROM zip on your phone and when you give the "reboot" command be prepared to boot directly into recovery (by holding Vol down after pressing "Enter") as this method erases the system.

[Q] SD Card

Quick question everyone. How do I, and how should I format sd card for flashing GB rom from kaos froyo?
seems that most people have had good luck booting to recovery, mounting usb in recovery, formatting sd from computer, disconnect usb from recovery, then flash whatever rom you want.
I used the format option in recovery and formatted mine that way then connected to my pc and mounted usb to copy the rom and gapps to my sd card and flashed while still in recovery.

I did this exact same thing.
Thanks guys!
I'd like to note that I have all sorts of junk on my SD card, and haven't had a problem with any GB ROM yet.
BUT...I use Clockwork Mod through ROM Manager, which when wiping data, wipes the .android-secure folder, which is most likely anyone's trouble if they "merely" use Amon RA's wipe data option, which does not wipe .android-secure.
when i boot to recovery in the phone it tells me to reformat the sd card from adb. how do i do that?

Afraid an ADB expert will have to answer that, I've never had that problem.

did something dumb - help needed perhaps?

earlier i was getting ready to try out a new ROM on my TB and was in clockwork wiping everything & got to the part where you format /system and i accidentally told it to format /sdcard
at that point everything was wiped(including sd card) so i turned off the phone as i was not at home at the time.
is clockwork still in tact on the phone itself and can i just copy a ROM to the sd card & pop it back in the phone and go from there or is there something more i have to do?
thanks
Yup. You are fine. Pop a ROM on there and flash.

He wiped the phone, so there's currently no ROM on it.... He also wiped the SD card, so if he by chance had a ROM copied to it that he could flash, well, he doesn't anymore....

When you wipe to factory data reset, wipe dalvik, and cache the OS that was on your phone is still there. I do all of that before I install a new ROM also but it doesnt delete all the data from your phone. I just did it to make sure i wasnt mistaken. He didn't erase the OS he just erased all the user data. it takes a while to reboot but everything works including the browser. so he could use the browser, go to whereever he downloaded the rom from redownload it and install it from whereever he is
That's NOT what he said. Then again, after re-reading it, I think he meant to wipe /system but accidentally selected his SD card.

[Q]

I think I stupidly posted this in the General forum, so hopefully I'll have better luck here. Here's what I wrote before:
Hi, I'm trying to unbrick USB on my Atrix using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751265 but every time I try and use the fastboot command 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' I get 'FAILED error:00120000'.
I am really tearing my hair out! failing this, would flashing via fastboot fix this error? I tried reflashing using fastboot with the CM9 ROM I had handy but adb didn't like it (my installation is borked you see, I can get into recovery but can't reflash the ROM 'cause my sc cards can't be read...so I'm in a bit of a vicious circle here).
If anyone can help I would be so grateful.
Which recovery are you using atm?
Hey,
I'm using ROM Racers custom ROM, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
Would that make a difference?
That's a recovery, not a ROM. derp
Just messing with ya. But if you have Romracer's recovery you should be able to mount your storage from within recovery. There should be a "mounts & storage" option in the menu. That should allow your computer to read the card and/or internal as usb storage. Or, if you have a card reader you can put the necessary files on your sd card that way.

Yeah thanks but I know this...Ok, here is my problem: I can't mount the internal or external card in recovery, it comes up with ERROR: can't mount / emmc and Error: can't mount / sdcard . I can't mount either card on the PC either and as described in trying to fix the USB connectivity it comes up with the 0x120000 described above in fastboot. On top of that the installation of my ROM is borked (which was Jokersax's ICS beta but I have several others on file I could use)...so I can't reflash the handset. ALL I can do is get into recovery - and a fat lot of good that is doing me!
On top of all that, the reason I ended up like this seemed to be when I erased the internal memory card from my Mac...and this was out of pure frustration fro the mysterious random reboot issue, for which I'd tried almost everything else. But one step at a time eh?
So if anyone can help I'd be really glad right now...
Do you have a card reader? Have you tried formatting the sd card (either through recovery or through the computer using "mounts & storage")? Do you have another sd card that you can try?
Can you be more specific as well? When exactly are you getting the "error" and have you tried "mount usb storage" option in "mounts & storage"? Do you only have a Mac or do you have access to a Windows computer?

Ok, I cannot mount the sd card in any way, either through recovery or on the PC.* the SD card is fine as it the phone registered the card as empty (and read the empty card fine) until it started refusing to read anything at all.* Mount USB storage option definitely does not work (it was working and then it stopped)
*
The error comes from trying the USB unbrick solution (link in my original post at the top)...in fastboot I am trying 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' and then in red writing the ERROR 0x120000 (or whatever it was, it's above) appears on the screen of the Atrix and in the command line box on the PC (I am using my windows 7 laptop for all this btw, don't want to confuse you with my mentioning of the Mac above).
*
So...I either need a way to flash from Fastboot so I can get a working system again at least AND/OR I need to fix the USB connectivity (so I can mount the internal/external card on my PC) and fix the mounting in the Atrix itself.* If I can fix the mounting issue (both mounting within Recovery and mounting on the PC) I can then reflash (and use my SD cards again).
*
Any ideas?
I would think reflashing a newer recovery fron fastboot might help you with your problem if your current recovery is borked. (CWM 5.8.1.8 maybe?)
Ok, so I have installed the CMW touch recovery over fastboot...and I can now mount the external SD card. I have also managed to erase the external SD card using fastboot (fastboot erase sdcard) but the phone still can't see it. The internal memory is untouchable either through recovery or fastboot

Try a fastboot -w command and flash a new ROM from the external see if it works. It would be easier if we knew what caused you to have this problem...
Right, some good news...I have managed to partition my SD card from recovery (only to 4 gigs though but it's a start...), managed to put my and now I am rebooting as I type...although it's taking a long time to reboot...
Maybe I should do a fastboot -w first

Yeah it's still not booting, even though I installed the rom from recovery.
Thinking back my troubles started when a) I wiped both the internal and external to fat 32 from my Mac and then b) I converted all file systems to ext4 from the advanced menu. Yeah, that may be it...

[Q] Transformer Prime possibly bricked. Help?

Tonight I was trying to install clockworkmod touch on my Prime, and when I was trying to get into fastboot, I made the mistake of selecting the data wipe option, then setting it down to go do something else for a while. As of now, it will not get past the screen that says "ASUS powered by NVIDIA blah blah blah". I can get into CWM just fine, as well as fastboot, but I dont have anything to flash since my memory was wiped. I've tried a million and one things to get it to work, and I still can't find anything. Can someone help me?

read the person's above, seems like a hard brick from the thread he linked.
Since you can get into cwm, you could just download a custom rom place it on your micro sd and then install the custom rom onto your device.
To me it seems that you just wiped the rom on your device, so it has nothing to boot from.
I have not done any rooting or install on my prime yet, but I've been have encounter this similar problem on my htc sensation where it would just have a boot loop. I fix it by reinstalling a rom.
The problem I'm having with flashing a ROM from my micro sd card is that i can't get cwm to see my sd card.

Ah sorry didn't verify before my previous post. I think if you boot into fastboot mode, and use adb to push a zip to your sdcard would work.
If its not mounting, if the kernel/cwm has the option 'mounts' or 'mass storage' like the glitch kernels cwm has for the galaxy captivate, you can go in the n click on 'mount sd' or whatever.... it might not be mounting right away so u could try that to get it mounted

I've tried using adb while the Prime is in fastboot, and adb won't recognize it. Fastboot sees it, but it cant push files. I tried "fastboot update rom.zip" and it gives me this error
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
The issue was resolved by installing the universal drivers located in post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502, then using adb to push CM9 and installing via CWM. Since Fastboot was "working" it seemed that adb should also work, but it didn't with the ASUS drivers.

i know this has been solved but FYI, to get adb to see INTERNAL SDCARD (CWM doesn't support EXTERNAL SDCARD), just go to Install Zip from sdcard, Choose zip from sdcard while usb is connected. Now push the file.
After it's finished, go to your prime, back to Install Zip from sdcard, and again into Choose Zip from sdcard. The zip should be there.

[Q] Flashing ROM - Locating the ROM

I'm embarrassed to ask such a stupid question, but I've been digging around for hours and couldn't find an answer. Using TWRP, I was attempting to flash MeanROM. I placed the ROM in my Dropbox and downloaded it to my phone using the default browser. Booted into recovery and began to follow the steps. I created a backup, did my wipes, etc. So when I was finally ready to flash, I went into Install and have no idea where the ROM was saved. I thought it would be easy enough to find so I didn't bother checking where it saved before hand. I also couldn't find where my Backup saved so I couldn't even restore from there.
Could you please help me find my ROM or backup?

I don't have an external SD card installed. I imagine that the ROM is in the default saving location for the browser, I just don't know how to navigate there. And I have no idea what the default saving location is for TWRP backups.
Downloads from the stock browser goes to my external sd card in the downloads folder. There's also a downloads folder on my internal card.

So I did a system wipe and it looks like that's where I went wrong. The directions said to wipe everything but I guess I got carried away as it looks like it cleared everything off. The only thing under the sdcard folder is a TWRP folder. But when I press Install and then go into /sdcard/TWRP, there's nothing in there. Shouldn't the back up I created be in there?
Please tell me I didn't brick my phone my doing the system wipe.
