When i click download roms on clockwork mod ROM app I get a message that says:
You must have CWM Recovery installed b4 continuing. Install the recovery through ROM manager first.
The app (CWM) does not have any Moto Razr version of the recovery to download.I found RazrBootstrap.apk that is said to be the Razr recovery for Clockworkmod.It also says to download RAZR-CWMOnBoot.zip but i think I already have this.
I have razr safestrap on my phone already and it reboots into Recovery with the Clockworkmod logo. Is it safe to download RazrBootstrap.apk when i already have safestrap? Something is telling me that would mess up my phone.
So what do I need to do to be able to use Clockworkmod ROM manager for Moto Razr?
You can't use rom manager on any phone with a locked boot loader. We are using cwm recovery but not in a way their program can read it because we can't actually replace the stock recovery. We just work around it. So to flash a rom you would need to download it and then manually install it through safe strap or bootstrap. I prefer safe strap that way if it fudges up I still have my stock rooted to fall back onto and don't have to rsd back.

Thanks, now i know not to worry bout it and can unistall CWM rom manager and get my refund.
WRONG! Rom manger works on a lot of Motorola phones with a locked bootloader. My droid x was one of them. Wish the noobs would get this one right! Koush just for whatever reason won't write a bootstrap for the razr.

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.

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.

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

I have a Sprint SGS 3 rooted with build ALF9 model SPH-L710 in USA.
There is an update it wants me to install.
Will I lose root? If so, can I just go back to my clockwork recovery and restore it?
Or is it easy just to root it again the same way as before?
Thanks

Chances are you are going to lose root.
Can I just re-root it the old way (odin/clockwork I think), or will there be some protection
or need to find a newer root method?

then re-root or wait for a posted stock rom w/root

I unrooted, tried OTA and says none (which there was),
re-rooted again with newest rom manager and clockwork,
still can't flash the update. Guess I don't really need it
(what does it even do, I don't use wallet or dropbox).
But it would be nice to be able to flash updates in the future
without wiping anything.

I don't want to flash the original nandroid, as I would lose 100's of apps, saves, settings
that I do not want to take HOURS to fix. Will this method keep all my settings, saves, widgets, etc?
If not, don't I just wait for a rooted updated sprint rom all baked and flash it over mine so I don't lose
a thing? Also the link in #2 doesn't work, what file was it, I might already have it.
P.S. Still don't know what oxeded is or deoxed

Won't it mess up anything if it's a different CSC?Also, considering CM10.1 is android 4.2, how would you go about restoring to stock since the sdcard pathways and some others are different?I think of going this way
Go to download mode, flash stock ROM, go to recovery, wipe user data and cache, and try to start the phone now.Is this good?
Format data sdcard system cache and preload ,then install stock rom .

Thank you.Can you also link me to the stock recovery?I want it to go back the way it originally was. so I can send it in.

Stock recovery ???? what is that ???

If you flash a full stock Rom with Odin you'll downgrade to stock recovery.
I see.I forgot to mention, I also have a backup made by CWM from the stockrom, but it's in a different location now because it's been moved by installing 4.2.I have PhilZ touch recovery already installed on it.Is it also possible to restore from CWM(after wiping the beforementioned partitions, ofcourse)?
i'm just afraid to use download mode as I already have the faulty eMMC's and using DL mode triggers that.Or, getting stuck on NAND write start.
You can only flash stock roms via download mode, so its a risk you have to take. You can't use Philz or CWM to flash.
What ROM were you on when you first rooted?
I was on the stock 4.1.2 android and I still have a backup from it but like I said its now moved to the sdcard/0 path.I'm still on CM now and I have philz recovery atm.So is it possible to restore it like that?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2
If you were on stock 4.1.2 before root, you have a safe bootloader so you can use odin.
Sure you cab restore nandroid backups from recovery. That's the whole point of them.
It depends WHY you want to restore though. It's rooted and won't restore recovery so it doesn't restore warranty status. Its pretty pointless. Infact its entirely pointless. like I said, depends what you want. There is only 1 way yo restore it 100% stock, as previously mentioned

I appreciate your effort in order to explain that to me, so thank you for that.I know that when it dies it's dead for good, and I don't think they will be able to detect the software that was on it, so I have just put ARHD on it, I know it since the old days on Desire HD(which i still own), it runs great, both on the DHD and on this now.Thanks for your troubles, but I'm sure to return to 100% stock whenever now that I know this info.Thank you all!
Now that your Verizon Galaxy Note 3 bootloader is unlocked is time to flash some roms. For this you will need TWRP. A simple way to obtain the latest and stay up to date with a couple clicks is TWRP with Flashify. You will not need Odin or a PC at all to do this.
STEP 1:
Download flashify: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify

USING TWRP:
*****Yes- Jasmine Rom 6.1 can be flashed with twrp*****
When you flash your first rom after unlocking your bootloader and flashing twrp it's best to start with a clean slate. Make sure you put the rom of your choice on your Micro SD card. Wiping everything ensures that you have as few errors as possible. When flashing completely new roms this is also advised to avoid any errors.

Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." It would not boot back into the phone - I had to go into download mode, and use Odin to reinstall the N900VVRUEOF1_PartialFirmware.tar.md5, so I could put the stock recovery back on.
Is there a way to install TWRP without triggering this Verizon security screen?
