[Q] Can't install Blurred ROMs - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an Atrix 4G, rooted/bootloader unlocked, running Ba2TF (CM7.1) right now, but when I try to flash any ROMs even based on Blur, it doesn't work. CWM recovery gives me an error when I try flashing. Any ideas how to flash a Blurred/Stockish ROM?

Maybe you can tell us which error are you getting when trying to flash a Blur rom...

Good idea I'll try flashing and post the specific error.

Also, which ROMs are you specifically trying to flash and what recovery are you using and where are you placing the zip file to flash from and are you performing the appropriate wipes and and and ..... ???
Just for future reference, please give as much details as possible to make it easier for anyone trying to help to diagnose the issue.

ROM: GingerMod 2.3.6 #7
Recovery: CWM (as stated in the OP) 5.0.0.*
Zip: Root of SD card
Everything else: yep, I've flashed a ton of ROMs on this phone. This specific one (GingerMod) is the only one that's given me problems.

[Q] What kernel do I need?

I just successfully rooted my phone using the DooMLoRD method. I wan't to use a Jellybean custom rom(probably aokp). What kernel do I need? I have a Galaxy S2 with version 2.3.4 and gingerbread.uckh7.
You need one with cwm baked in. It's that simple. The rom you select will flash the recommended kernel

Ok, but don't I need to backup my phone(contacts,apps,etc) with CWM recovery before I put a ROM on it? That would mean I need a CWM kernel right?

These are really basic and common questions that you are asking and can be easily found by searching. I'm just giving you a fair warning, because you will be flamed by others for not searching.
Creating backups via CWM is not a requirement to flash anything. It is highly recommended that you do create backups though (especially if you're new to this), in case something goes wrong while flashing stuff.

[Q] Rooted Phone...now how do i install custom ROM

Ok...Yep im a newbie and yep ive looked in the forums but im getting confused..
Phone :Samsung Galaxy s2 i9100 running 4,0.4 kernal version XWLPT.
Ive rooted the phone using the method 1 on this guide.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
Now im looking to install cyanogenmod but i dont want a bricked phone so was wondering if anyone cleverer then me can give me a quick guide of how to install as all of the guides are getting confusing lol
Cheers for you help in advance...
Now that you have rooted your phone, you can install CWM. CWM (short for ClockworkMod) is a custom recovery menu which allows you to install any custom ROM packaged as a zip file. Refer to part 2 in the tutorial you followed to install CWM. I'd also flash another kernel such as Siyah (thanks to gokhanmoral) to make sure you can't brick your phone. That stock kernel you have is dangerous and you must get rid of it before doing the data wipe required to install CM.
Once you've done that, grab a CyanogenMod build and install it from the CWM recovery. You should of course place the zip file on your internal storage first. Make sure to follow the instructions here.
By the way, there's a "Q&A" section for this device, so please try to ask your questions there, they should get answered faster and by more people if you do that.
Cheers tydem..i thought the kernel in mine was prone to bricking...ill flash the one that you recommeded and see how it goes
just to add to that.. do we have to update Modems as well? can we update them?
No.
Yes.

How to install ROMS on UCLE5 Stock ICS Root w/ Siyah v4.3.3 w/o mic swap

After reading over lots and lots of threads, I finally got up the courage to root my phone.
I followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746181
I flashed the "Kernel + Modem + Cache + Rooted UCLE5 System Package" using Odin, downloaded Mobile Odin, and then flashed the safe Siyah 4.3.3 kernel w/o mic swap to avoid bricking due to the eMMc bug. Everything seems to be working fine. I have Superuser, Mobile Odin, and CWM Recovery.
My question is what are my ROM choices and how do I go about installing them?
I'f I'm reading the instructions correctly in the thread with the rooting instructions, I only have the three options for kernels in that thread and I MUST use a w/o mic swap version.
On the Siyah thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592228, the only ROMs listed that work with w/o mic swap Siyah are Criskelo and UCLD3. Are these my only choices for ROM?
Are these the proper files for Criskelo?
Criskelo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500891&highlight=criskelo
I can't seem to find the files for UCLD3.
To be clear, I was coming from a stock i777 with stock ICS and UCLE5. I'm now running 4.0.3, I777UCLE5, 3.1.0-rc8-Siyah-v4.3.3-nomswap ([email protected]).
Thanks for any help. I've searched and read a ton, but I just can't make sense of it all.

So this from the the first thread isn't true?
"You must use an ICS kernel, and it must work with Samsung firmware, and be the no-mic-swap version. If you install a Gingerbread kernel the phone will not boot."
Sorry, it's all a bit confusing to me.

it means that if you use an ALTERNATE kernel, which a lot of people like to do, then you must abide by those guidelines. all roms come packaged with a 'recommended' kernel....just flash one and you will see.

Good choice for a first ROM. When you get bored with that Shostock3 is really nice but wait until 1.5 comes out. It has some fixes that will polish it up nicely.

Would going to SHOStock3 require a wipe? I understand that upgrading to new versions of an existing ROM usually does not, but since this is a different ROM it seems like it would require the full wipe.
What is the easiest way to retain as many of my settings, etc... as possible when doing full wipes? I have Titanium Backup already. Is there another program that will help me retain more?

Once you get accustomed to it, flashing with a full wipe isn't too bad. Make a nandroid backup in case you decide to go back. And I would recommend you buy the full version of titanium back up to get the batch features, and support the developer. It is probably the most important app for those that flash regularly.
I can fully wipe and flash and have everything back up and running the exact same way it was in like 10 minutes. But I like the chance to start fresh

Following the guide at android.com, I have successfully built a system.img. But I am facing the following issue:
1) When I try to flash system.img on my device (galaxy trend S7392) ODIN reports Fail. I am not able to get any further regarding how to flash it or why the flash is failing.
2) I am googling it since long, but all the guides I can find direct to CM sources or Nexus family of devices, which provide a convenient way of extracting proprietary binaries from the phone. But I can't find a single tutorial/guide/information over how to identify the same and then integrate these binaries into the AOSP source code.
For now, the #1 is more concerning to me. Can you please help?

And also make sure that your system.img has no problem (I can't help if this occurred, no experience of compiling sources =P)

Although editing a stock rom seems to be easier than that of what I am trying to do, I am quite interested in the learning and gaining experience involved in the Compilation and Porting Android to a particular device. That's why I am trying to compile it from source.

swap SD kernal help

Hi, I'm coming back from a hard brick where I managed to ruin the formatting of my internal SD. Having spent a LOT of time trying to fix this, I decided that I would just sacrifice it and go with a swap SD kernal.

cyanaosp, vanir, ressurrection remix. i usually stick to these 3 roms but im pretty sure you may have to run an older version of neat kernel with those roms due to cm's latest changes, which you can read up on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51224160&postcount=356. as for slimkat it should be fine to pair with neat kernel not exactly sure though as i haven't flashed that rom before.

Hmm.. I'll look into those, tho I my main issue is still kernel. I tried older versions of neat also but they all have the same problem of not being compressed properly. Can you confirm that those files are good or did out just look at the link?
I originally wanted to run the same kernel you are running , but I don't think they have a swap SD version. I'm not sure how hard the modification is.
yeah they work i just downloaded v1.04 and 1.06, but only flashed 1.06 after restoring my nand of cyanaosp ran it for a hour then went back to vanir. sorry semaphore wont do you any good as it doesnt swap sd only neat kernel has that feature. if you want i can upload what ever version of neat that you want and send the link via pm.
