[Q] want to go back to gingerblur - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I'm running ICS on an orange Atrix 4G and some of the things i want to work aren't working so i want to go back to Ginger.... Every time i try to reinstall Ginger i still end up with ICS. I've deleted system files using fastboot and managed to load a stock. Installed Gingerblur and gingerbreak but none of them would take and ended up having to go back to ICS.... Ergggghhh!!!!!
Every time i restart my phone i get 'unlocked'. Is that anything to do with it?
Thanks for helping if anyone can....

did you tried the 3 wipes... that work for mi..

Try formatting system and data from recovery mode.

I had the same question when I started out. I'll make it easy on you.
Go into recovery, use the volume buttons to toggle up and down. Go to wipe data / factory reset. Select it and then confirm it. Then go to wipe cache partition and do the same. Then go to advanced and select wipe davlik. THAT IS HOW TO WIPE. This is recommended to do before flashing a new ROM.
Can't get past the update
I cant get past the update in recovery

That's easy to get past. Just load a PGIMG05.zip file onto the ROOT of your SD card. ROOT means without being in any folders. If you're on BAMF 3.0 then you're on Gingerbread. So find the RUU file for unsigned Gingerbread RUU and place it on the ROOT. Then do an Hboot. Which is Power down and volume up at the same time when the phone is off. Make sure you don't have any PGIMG05 files on the ROOT. You probably do because you rooted your phone. If you don't you could end up with S back on.
**You did flash the correct Gingerbread radio...right?
**I have no clue where the Gingerbread RUU is. If you find it, please post it. It will be a fairly large file. Probably around 300mb+
EDIT:
I'm sorry but the RUU for Gingerbread isn't out yet. Try Hbooting the MR1 then Hboot the MR2 Radio RUU which is 2.3.4 base.
Link to Jcase radio thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997724&highlight=RUU
I'm pretty sure, you'll need to flash the "PG05IMG_Mecha_VERIZON_WWE_1.13.605.7_Radio_1.16.00.0402w_NV_8k_1.41_9k_1.64_release_182727_signed.zip" on that page which should be the last link.
Take your SD Card out, put in a reader or another Android phone and delete the radio file from it.

I've had this problem too and I've wiped and reflashed from scratch to fix it.
But this happens to all my backups, making nandroid backups virtually useless to me now. Anybody know why this happens? I've never had a problem like this before and it started after trying to restore from the new CM7 back to bamf 2.1....
A common solution would be to backup the SD Card and reformat it in Clockwork or with SDFormatter.. NOT IN WINDOWS.
When the house gets dirty, you have to clean it.

I have tried to format/system and every other piece of advice i can find I still cant get any nandroids to restore... Any ideas?
I have search every possible thread regarding restoring a nandroid and have tried every possible fix... my only solution, which DID WORK, was to format/system, do a full wipe of all three, and then flash the original zip, I cant use any nandroids at all!!! if any one know why please tell me how to restore a nandroid for future use. thanks
format did not work for me either.
restores worked for me at when i came off of Synergy's ROM back to bamf3.0, but coming outta CM7 to bamf 3.0 busted it again...very strange.

I am using th3orys inj3ct rom and just wanted to see what Synergy was all about, when I wasn't impressed i tried to restore my nandroid (which i made right before i flashed synergy) and that is when all the trouble started... i tried everything that I know of and just had to reflash the original ROM and start from scratch, sux but at least my phone is back on.
I had this issue over the weekend. However I did do a restore prior to getting the error... I was texting my gf, and all of a sudden my screen wouldn't turn on... Pulled the battery and when i booted up I kept getting the error.
I had a PG05IMG.zip on my SD card so if I tried to boot to recovery from boot menu it wouldn't let me.
I took my SD card and plugged it into a PC using an adapter. Deleted the PG05IMG.zip and then booted to recovery. Restored my latest backup (3 days old) and everything worked.

What the hell.. this same thing happened to me last night - never had this happen before.
Happened after restoring a backup of Das Bamf 3.0 RC 3
Guess I have to wait for my wife to come home with her old droid so I can plug my sdcard in to her phone and get rid of the pgimg zip

Are you on v0.2 or v0.2.2?
when it happened to me I'd made the mistake of installing the rom over froyo

using v0.2.2. I just sbf'ed to 2.3.3 and am letting the batt charge again and am going to try to wipe the battery stats and see if that works. Thanks for the help, I will post my results.
Well just finished sbf'ing and flashing v0.2.2 again making sure to wipe dalvik, battery, cache, and data factory reset. Still get the battery message that says battery not recognized wil not charge.
If there are not any other ideas by tomorrow morning when I get up I will sbf again and try to download again and re-flash v0.2.2. Maybe a file was corrupt or something, I dunno.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Are you using a Motorola battery? Sometimes generics don't play well with custom roms.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
yep stock battery.
Well i have other issues other than the battery. The phone randomly goes crazy and just starts acting like I am hitting buttons, opening programs and typing random letters. I tried re-downloading the rom and re-flashing but still the same issues with the battery. I guess I will sbf back to stock and wait for another update. who knows it may be an issue with my phone since no one else seems to have this problem.
Thanks

I've been using this ROM version since I released it and have yet to run into any problems you described. Is there any other information you can give me?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Yes this happend to me. What you did was probally flashed oved 2.2. Thats a no.no. Heres the fix. RSD flash the official verizon 2.2. then root with gingerbreak. Then install custom recovery. Enter recovery mode. Wipe all. You must do this for it to work.Flash P3's pre rooted gingerbread. After install then go into recovery, wipe again then flash alien rom. It worked for me. You cant cross flash roms, they have to go into this order. 2.2, 2.3.3, 2.3.4.

I appreciate your effort to help but this is not what happened. I flashed from the official Verizon 2.3.3, then used red lite to she back and tried again. I have tried this rom at least 4 times now everytime I get the same results.
Dragon, thanks for your willingness to help. Basically what happens is the rom v0.2.2 flashes with no errors. When the phone boots I immediately get a message saying that my battery is not recognized and that I need to install a moto battery. After I hit the ok button the phone acts like a pc when you mash on the keyboard all different apps open up, random keys get typed, when I hit the home button the programs just open back up like ten at a time. Its kinda hard to explain. When I get off work tomorrow I will try to reflash ATRIX alien and post a video of what is going on.

Unfortunately, there appears to be no real solution to this. I hate to say that, but no one else is having these issues, then it must simply be a problem with your phone. I wish you luck, but there's not much I can do if your phone is acting up. I wish there was more I could do to help.

Thanks for your help I don't know what the issue is, it doesn't happen on stock gingerbread just on the ATRIX rom. Thanks anyway. I will keep an eye on your dev thread and will try again when the next patch comes out.
when i was on the alien port i did not have any battery problems. did the same thing as you sbf'ed to the official verizon 2.3.3 rooted and then onto the alien rom. my friend was having some issues however and what helped him was sbf'ing to 2.2.2, then rooting, then flashing p3's pre-root gingerbread onto that. after that his phone accepted the alien rom just fine. not sure what if any difference there is between the methods but it helped him.
Yeah like I said you cAnt do that . You have to flash 2.2 first

[Q] Cant get past setup accounts

Hi....
Rooted my phone. Stock 2.3.4. Installed Rom Toolkit Pro. Froze some apps I thought I didnt need and I guess that included the contacts.apk and odex. Thought I had found them and installed them in the system/app but I was wrong. Went back into toolkit and saw a bunch of new system apps in Spanish and some other things in odd code. Decided to do a factory reset which I am now realizing was a bad idea. Now I boot the phone and all is pretty normal until I get to Add Accounts in the set up. Com.motorola.setup keeps fcing and i cant get past it. I jist need my phone back to functioning order. I cant use the market bit can look and replying to INcoming texts. My bf bought me this phone and he os ready to rip my head off. Any any help is appreciated.
More info
I can interact with the phone via voice command/search but have no access to apps or launcher. At this rate I dont care aboit root or anything...would downloading a copy of a stock rom and doing install update by sd calrd via android recovery work?
If your bootloader is locked install bootstrap recovery then in bootstrap recovery format system, data and cache then boot the phone into rsd lite protocol and flash one of the sbf's through rsd lite to return to stock. You will loose root but thats easy enough to get back.
Flashing a stock rom through bootstrap should also do the trick just remember to format the system data and cache partitions before flashing for best results.

Not sure how to do that if I cant interact with my launcher, homescreen, etc. Thanks for the add'l info.
Then you may have to unlock your bootloader and do it through cwm.

...just realized what you were trying to explain (I think). Found the Sprint 2.3.4 sbf. Basically install that through RDSLite on my computer, and actually need very little interaction with the phone's home screen?

Yes. It will rewrite all the system files to the phone.

Flashed stock sbf. Still had the same exact problem, but now had an unrooted phone. Reflashed sbf. Did an Android Recovery factory reset. Wiped partition 3 times (don't know if really necessary but I heard three's the number). Reboot phone. Profit. :good: Just in case anyone is stuck with the whole com.motorola.setup fcs...

[Q] Have I managed to sort of brick my phone?!

This is going to sound noobish but here goes...
I've been trying to hash this out for literally two days now, I've read dozens of threads and used the search tool as much as possible, but still haven't found an answer, if it is simple, please re-direct me because I must have missed it, but I just want to point out that I have made an effort to try myself first
I have a UK GSM HTC Evo3D unbranded - S-ON - H-BOOT-1.49.0007
It was last working seemingly properly on Thursday. I was running KingCobra3D-ICS 1.6 quite well for the past 3 weeks, then in the evening it froze whilst I was trying to take a picture and rebooted. It then proceeded to fail to load apps everytime Launcher pro tried to load (i.e. everytime it rebooted) and rebooted again, so I figured it was time to flash a new rom!
I went to revert back to LeeDrOiD 3D V5.4 which I has used before, and only stopped using to try the ICS in KingCobra3D. It seemed to install fine, but then on rebooting it gets stuck at the HTC splash screen.
I have seen various posts about how to get around this and I have tried to do the things they suggest but none so far have worked for me, they include:
Flashing another rom - Tried 3 different ones, they all hang on the same splash screen
Wiping Cache/Davlik/Factory reset - seems to have made no difference
Installing another recovery - adb returns "Failed (remote: signature verify fail)"
Relocking and unlocking again via HTC Dev method - I thought this would return my rom to stock, and it might have, but it still freezes at the splash screen
Other ones which I can't even remember!
If anyone has any more ideas to suggest, or posts to recommend and redirect me to, please do!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the idea dude, but it's UK GSM, I forgot to mention, sorry! I don't think twrp works for GSM (cant see it on their site)
Any more ideas?
Latest things I've tried:
Installing RUU_Shooter_U_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.2_Radio_10.53.9020.00_10.13.9020.08_2M_release_203403_signed.exe - Began installing, black htc screen on handset, then it gives and error.
Flashed recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-shooteru.img via adb - this didnt work before, but did this time, I used to have 4EXT, I'm not sure if factory resetting and installing from zip would be any different with it but I thought I'd give it a try! - it made no difference :crying:
I'm absolutely stumped as to what it could be. I've also seen posts that mention installing the original rom via RUU, but I don't know which one is mine, and the ones I've tried seem to all give errors.
Please someone help!

if your hboot 1.49.0007
You need a few things, should only take 20 minutes maybe, try to restore a backup if you made it. go back to a gb Rom, find adb.rar using google, use revolutionary to s OFF, update firmware, flash ICS, profit!?
Lemme know

Q. Things are screwy, need some help please.

Ok, I'll try to be short about this.
I did the RegawMOD method and was able to install Liquid Smooth on the phone. (1.45)
When I was going to install an update for that things when odd. (I always back up, reset and wipe before hand)
The update didn't take however I was able to the home screen. As it was weird I went back to restore and the Trwp did not back up correctly. The file was bad.
I was able to get back to the home screen and then setup my phone. I decided to wait for a while until the roms grew up a bit.
Now I was going to install Mean 1.4 today so I downloaded as the post said and installed the radio. Downloaded the rom. When into recovery backup, reset and wiped. When I tried to flash the rom TWRP just started rebooting.
I have tried it several times and also tried to recover and TWRP keeps rebooting. Now I am stuck on the HTC screen.
What do I do now? I feel the recovery is bad.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Maybe a bad recovery flash or corupt download.. Try reflashing recovery through fastboot, download the ROM again, do a FULL wipe and reflash the ROM.

Thankfully I was able to install an earlier backup so at least I am running now. I have tried using Goo Manger to reinstall twrp 2.2. Just stays stuck at the download.
I haven't used the fastboot method before so I'll have to look that up. I want to get to mean 1.4 as included the OTA fixes because I have the wifi issue. Guess I'll have to wait until I have more time.
Thanks for the help.
Ok so I got goo manager to reflash the recovery.
Now I am on mean 1.4 and very happy. No more WiFi issues either!
Finally as useable as my OG EVO and dandy like this phone was ment to be.
Thanks for the help and thanks developers.
Very cool.
