OK so.... NONE OF THE CUSTOM ROMS BOOT!!!??!??!?!??!! :'(
Device Summary:Carrier unlocked AT&T, UNLOCKED BL, with a 2.3.4 fruit cake flash -No webtop [current state] ( fruit cake flashes perfectly)
Followed all instructions supplied by the Dev's on their respective threads/sites.
Alien 2 Beta: Stuck at "DUAL CORE" screen
Alien 3 Beta: Stuck at "DUAL CORE" screen
CherryPi .3: Stuck at "DUAL CORE" screen

Have wiped all user data and cache via CWM, and even 'fastboot -w in other cases. Also have resorted to wipe Dalvik cache which shouldn't need be done.
*****EDIT*****: I'm also on the latest radio, and latest 'CWM' from tenefar via 'fastboot flash recovery'
Worth asking, though you've probably considered it:
Did you wait upwards of 10 minutes for each? New ROMs wipe app cache among other things, and the first boot takes quite a while. Definitely avoid RSD until you get your answer, though. G/L

Just have to ask because I have been stuck on the Dual Core screen before... Are you sure you are unlocked? You have the unlocked text in the upper left hand corner??

LOL, post usually note that the initial boot after flash is ridiculously long..... but I definitely waited >10 mins, almost an hour at longest on the Alien 3 beta flash just now, then I pulled batt and Fruit caked to 2.3.4.
(worried I might turn the soft-brick to a Hard-Brick if the battery died)

But did you finally get into the launcher? or a complete Boot animation???
do you using correct kernel?
What did you use to unlock/root the device?

I used this tool personally, on Windows 7 x64, and it worked without a hitch.
If you read the thread carefully, all of the instructions are in the OP, but if you have any additional problems, you can find fixes/help throughout the thread (or just post of course).
Otherwise, should go off without a hitch!

Tried stock GB and Faux's kernel, but this wouldn't matter cause rom's flash their own kernel right? According to the progress scripts on CWM..

I used the pudding/fastboot oem unlock method for x64 windows, the application put together should do the exact same thing but without the user needing to do the actual steps individually, but any ways will give it a go

start from scratch...go back to stock via RSD...
DO NOT DO THIS
if the fuse is blown YOU WILL BRICK
I would fruitcake back to 1.83 then flash to the rom you want, since its voda I would try a working international rom first.
DO NOT GO BACK VIA RSD YOU MIGHT HARD BRICK.
wipe all data in fastboot -> flash stock 2.3.4 via fastboot -> wipe all data again
Not trying to hi-jack the thread but I have the exact same problem so I thought I'd post here and give a detailed description of what I've done instead of creating another thread just like this one.
I unlocked the bootloader using the latest version of pudding
Then I downloaded fastboot and installed CWM
I downloaded the ROM of my choice meaning Alien 3 and the theme, and later when that didn't work Redpill 3. Also for the record I've tried installing with Alien 3 standalone and wait for boot up, and with both - neither worked and Redpill produces the same result.
Anyway back to the process
After downloading and putting the file of my choice on the external sd card I boot up into android recovery (flashed to CWM) I go to advanced and wipe the dalvik and then wipe the regular cache partition.
I reboot and immediately go to fastboot,
I do the fastboot -w command and then the fastboot reboot command and immediatley go back to CWM
I install using the external sd card and choose the zip of my liking.
It installs great and I then wipe the dalvik and cache again.
I reboot and I get stuck at the red M dual core screen.
The only way to get unstuck is to reflash with 183-sb-release.zip which is the fruitcake release I think. I got this from someone on a forum describing a similar problem for which this was the solution. However afterwards he was able to reinstall a custom rom without problems, while my problem remains.
*Edit - I have an AT&T phone

To double check -> Are you using latest unlocked CWM from xda or rom managers one?
Also to double check -> you did Wipe data / Factory reset as well?
You should do all three Wipe options before and after flashing the rom -> wipe cache, wipe data / factory reset, wipe davik.
After that reboot and give it a couple of minutes to boot.
If that doesn't work, do a battery pull and try booting again.
Thank you for the swift reply
I have the latest CWM from XDA.
I have tried several enumerations including wipe cache, wipe dalvik and wipe data/factory reset.
I've also tried removing the battery.
Still no success :/

Alright, then the second thing I would try is flashing one of the custom ROMs via fastboot:
moto-fastboot flash boot boot.img
moto-fastboot flash system system.img
moto-fastboot -w
moto-fastboot reboot
p.s. and if you don't have the latest radio,-
moto-fastboot flash radio radio.img
Again thank you for the swift reply
Is flashing with fastboot dangerous in comparison to cwm? Ie. is there a larger risk of inherent soft/hard-bricking?
Also here comes a noob question so I hope you'll be lenient with me, but what is a radio per say and how will it help during the flashing of a rom?
Thank you I appreciate the help so far!

The only truly dangerous method of flashing is SBF (RSDlite). CWM and fastboot are safe.
If you unlocked the bootloader youserlf, you already know what fastboot looks like. Often, fastboot helps where CWM fails.
Before using fastboot, make sure you have phone drivers installed, also make sure you have "moto-fastboot" version and not "fastboot", as the latter can't flash large files, e.g. - system.img.
Phone drivers for Windows x64 can be downloaded here (though your probably have them already if you unlocked the BL) -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=634880&d=1308872277
Download moto-fastboot for your operating system here (if you don't have it already, obviously) -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138092
"Radio" is software that handles cellular connection, mobile data, etc.
I've read that there could be a boot problem if wrong radio is used.
Besides, the latest 2.3.4 radio includes many bug fixes and better mobile data speeds.
You can check if you have the latest one under "About Phone" -> "Baseband version". Latest one for ATT is N_01.77.30P.
It can be downloaded here - http://bandbinnovations.com/xda/gingerbread/Gingerbread-4.5.91.zip
(The archive contains all stock 2.3.4 partitions, but you can simply extract radio.img and flash it separately via fastboot)
Cheers.
Great
I'll try flashing the radio and then the files as mentioned in your previous post. A problem though is that when I look through the zip files I only find a boot.img file for the custom rom.
Where is the system.img file located and if I simply install these through moto-fastboot (thanks for the heads up btw as I only had fastboot) what happens to the smaller files located on the zip which won't be associated to the img files?
*Edit I compared these to the fruitcake zip and in the custom roms I have a folder called system which I believe contains all the info while the fruitcake files have an img. I'm guessing not compatible? Or can I simply make an img file with the system folder and flash thusly?
This all started when I was wiping in CWM before flashing a ROM and I seemed to have misclicked something. It resized a partition I think I recall it saying, but I proceeded to install the ROM afterwards. The rom didn't boot, but I was still able to access CWM so I flashed a recovery I had made. I was able to boot into it but the touch screen was horribly off and made it unusable. I spent a while wiping then tried a few different roms to start from scratch. The Boot logo had disappeared and a menu had taken it's place.
I eventually pulled up fastboot and wiped everything. Everything on the phone is wiped and it is now unusable, HOWEVER fastboot is working perfectly and I can flash files from there.
What do I do from here to get my phone back into a functional state? I really need some help here...

Have u tried these fastboot commands
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
Okay, I've done that and then I flashed CWM Recovery through fastboot. I then booted into CWM and flashed the jokersax's CM9 ROM and rebooted. What I still get is:
No OS detected, going to RSD mode in 5 seconds
Press a key to stop count down
Available Modes are:
1 RSD
2 Fastboot
3 NvFlash
etc. etc.
It isn't detecting an OS still, and I don't get a boot icon just that menu. What would you suggest?

1. Re: CWM wipe and spazzed out touch screen: Sounds like you erased your PDS partition. If you made a back up, flash it. Otherwise search for a thread titled PDS Partition Fix (or something similar) here in the Q&A section for an alternative fix.
2. I don't recall if doing the PDS fix will also fix the missing boot logo. If not, you can find a stock replacement in the Themes section. You're looking for logo.bin.
That fixed it, thanks! I did a full wipe of those partitions then restored from my CWM restore. That didn't fix the screen but I tried that fix you suggested and everything is perfect now. Thanks for the help.
I was able to unlock my bl after the OTA update to 141. However during it I must have corrupted something on my phone and now I cannot boot into any OS.
I've tied severl CM9 Kangs as well as the stock 141 sbf and the offical CM7 ROM.. and i get stuck in a reboot cycle.
Every time either my phone reboots right after the boot screen (att or cm9 or cm7) or it just hangs on the boot screen.
I've tried several solutions including: factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, wipe /system & /cache & /data. Trie fastbooting 91 boot and system partition. Also tried flashing the 141 sbf that's been floating around *ooops*...
The good news is that I still have the ability to get into RSD or Fastboot and can hide the Unlocked msg by flashing back to the 141 sbf (in case I have to warranty the phone out)... but i'm hoping to figure this out instead... all i want in a CM9 kang
Any help is appreciated,
THX

anyone the right way to wipe everything and re-install... and/or proceed here?
maybe your sd card is corrupted... You can try to download the rom again and use another micro sd card, and then start the role process again...
Tried two SD cards already, no luck. What sucks is that I can flash the whole stock sbf for 141 but that doesn't HELP!
i gave up and exchanged my phone. told them it's been rebooting after the 4.5.141 upgrade. got me a new atrix now... probly won't fk w/ this one
Just to let other people know who may have this problem, but I believe this requires an unlocked bootloader. Not sure.
I've seen it fixed by erasing data using fastboot itself. Fastboot does a more thorough job at it than any recovery.
To do so, type this for fastboot:
Code:
fastboot -w
Then follow romracer's instructions for installing his recovery here. (Again, requires unlocked bootloader. I know this one does)
Basically you want to fastboot wipe and then reinstall the recovery, then attempt to reinstall a rom.
I think I have messed up, I just flashed to the Cyanogen 7.2 Rom, it flashed ok and the phone works. But so far I have a few problems, I am not unable to answer calls. When it rings, I need to unlock the phone, manually go into the phone app in order to do so.
I am also missing the notification bar.... I can't see it anywhere.
Another problem is I can no longer access the phone when connected to the computer as it does not have the option to allow me to use as usb mass storage any more. When it is plugged in pc will pick it up but the drive is greyed out.
Please help.

just do a factory reset (in the first menu), than flash again and don't forget to wipe cache partitation and dalvik cache, fix permissions aswell to be sure. If that does not work you can go with the QDL-tool. It almost impossible to completely brick your phone due to software, as only the -w command in fastboot could do that but it would not even boot in that situation...

Which of the first menu are you refering to? I am confused....
I have now entered recovery and just done a factory reset, let see what happens
1) Go into StreakMod and do a factory reset.
2) Go into the main recovery menu and do a factory reset.

I did that by going into recovery then I did a factory reset, after that it will just loop at the boot up screen. I had to take the battery out as it was hung for like 20mins. Now it's bricked and it won't even boot back up....
:crying:
Both should not brick anything. Try to enter the recovery again and do the factory reset (the first one now), and flash again. If it does not work get a fresh install by doing the QDL-tool all the information is on the forum.

in this case you dont need to use qdl tool... just streakmod recovery...
install either dsc 1.0 or longhorn 2.7 and see if it helps... everything should work fine with those two rom...
once it works... install kernel test 3... but be sure to install the correct kernel.... dsc, its own kernel... longhorn, cm7 kernel... and then fastboot 366 baseband for better voice, mic and telco cell reception quality
Hi guys!
I factory reset my rooted phone using Fastboot Screen.
After that, I also did factory reset using recovery.
I erased all partitions, cache, dalvik cache.
Now, my phone can't get past through the HTC Welcome Screen.
I want to flash another ROM but I can't put the zip file in my phone since I can't open the drive in my PC (it's not appearing in my pc).
Please help me. I want my phone to be usable again. Also, I want to continue to flash a New ROM.
