I'd say stay away from doing much to your phone if it's confusing. Bricking a device is no fun I hear.

Which recovery are you trying to install?
The best experience will be to flash Romracer's recovery through fastboot. If you are unlocked and follow the instructions, you should not have a problem.
Yeah tried it but it takes so long I don't think it works

My suggestion is in red. If you are already correcting the name then sorry and good luck.
Proper Recovery:
1. After your bootloader unlocked go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
2. Scroll down to where it says "ALL USERS" and download your favourite colour. (NOT THE ZIP VERSION) Rename the file to recovery-atrix5.img instead of recovery-some-color-atrix5Place it in the motounlock folder that you have on your desktop.
3. Press the windows key + R on your computer, type cmd and press enter
4. A Command prompt will open. type cd C:\users\YOURNAME\desktop\motounlock press 'enter'
5. type "fastboot devices" Press Enter.
5b. type "fastboot erase recovery" Press Enter.
5c. type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img" Press Enter. Be certain that you have renamed the file to recovery-atrix5.img instead of recovery-some-color-atrix5
Wait for the command prompt to say : "writing 'recovery'... OKAY ['The amount of seconds it took here']"
5d.type "fastboot reboot"
DO NOT FORGET TO DO THIS PART: After the install of RomRacers recovery boot up your phone. Open up your favourite file browser (I used Astro file manager to do this ) and navigate to /system/etc/ and delete the file called 'install-recovery.sh'
You will be set 100% !

Ive been running stock for almost 6 months and just today I flashed MIUI. Just follow the guide from JDGmental
I left the Cwm fast boot method running for like an hour an it still didn't install after following the guide its a 2.3.4 t- mobile gb phone

problem flashing recovery
I had a similar problem flashing recovery with fastboot method. It would flash the recovery successfully in seconds, but it would not load recovery properly. It didn't matter if i tried to enter it from key combination or Rom Manager the phone would just load the recovery image and not the recovery options.
I was somewhat successful with the procedure found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423 sticky by Tayshun12. flashed latest clockwork mod touch recovery 5.8.1.8 by following procedure at the end of the first post. Delete install-recovery.sh from both locations,(don't forget to backup file first) it is the same file in both locations. Install Rom Manager from Google play after removing files. Flashed touch recovery with the option in rom manager (paid versions of rom manager and touch through play store) after that the recovery works perfectly. I didn't mind having to pay for them to work properly. Good luck, pm me if you need to and I will try to help.

It should have taken only seconds to install. In the command you have to type the name of the recovery your installing. I personally use touch recovery on the atrix. But you have to check the name of the file, it has to be the same name as your command. I suggest you read the instructions carefully again, there should not be any problems.
i can read i tried it on my atrix and it didnt't its a t-mobile uk so am confused

Hi i do not know how to use CWM recovery i followed this:
how to install:
Windows:
unzip recovery-en-goapk.zip to D:\
open a CMD in windows.
fastboot flash recovery D:\recovery-en-goapk.img
fasboot reboot
I do that above but how do i get it to work.Once i reboot it goes back to the start screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. sorry for the N00B question!
Step 1, Search the forum.
But to help u out, on startup hold down "volume down" until u see fastboot in top corner. Then release and press it again a few times until it says recovery instead. Then press " volume up".

Actually the goapk part of that terminal command should be install tenfars cwm on your phone assuming you did download it? Then you would click the new in your list of apps labeled system recovery I believe. There are extremely easy instructions once the app opens.
Also read the forums first, there's a 100 articles\q&a about this subject

The recovery that uses an app isn't what he is talking about, the one he is referring too isn't an app and doesn't require your ATRIX to be plugged in at all. It's flashed with fastboot. Wish I had a link for you. If you read the comments on tenfar thread there are many people with the same issue( I was one of them ) there is alot of info but its sure to help you in your process
Typed From My1.2GHZ(FAUX123) GB2.3.4(Kenns Rom) Unlocked Rooted ATRIX 4g
Ok so here's the thing I obviously have a Motorola Atrix 4g and I am from the United States. I have rooted my device via Pete's Motorola root tools, I have accessed my webtop hack and tether. I've been research for about a week straight on how to install CM7, but the CM7 that I really want is EVOGP's whch has facial recognition capabilities (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382934&highlight=facial+recognition). I am currently running stock Gingerbread. I have previously tried t0dbld's way of installing for the latest version of CM7 (Ba2TF) based on his installation instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257574&highlight=facial+recognition). Unfortunately I failed and ended up wiping all my contacts and starting brand new. The portion that I do not see is the second step :
1.)Reboot phone into CWM recovery (Power Button + Vol Down), press Vol Down until you see "Android Recovery" then press Vol Up to enter.
2.) Go to Backup & Restore and create a backup (this may take some time)
I dont see where to go for Backup and restore to create a back. It too me a while to figure out that had to press the both volume buttons just to toggle. But this was the first area, that was blurry. If someone could explain step by step how to get to "Backup &Restore and create a backup" would be great.
Next while apparently not backing up my rom, I decided since I already had a rom and I wanted CM7 that wouldnt be important. So I try to install the Ba2tf.zip via the bootloader screen which located on my sd card. So I go "apply blah blah to Sd card" I see the Ba2tf.zip and I press the power button to unzip the file or install. The process I see starts unloading the zip file then starts to installing the file, everything is great. Then it says "installation failed".
If someone can tell me what I did wrong and give me a step by step process of what I should and be seeing, I would greatly appreciate this help. As you cant tell I really want CM7 especially EVOGP's. Please help!!! Step by step please!!!!
Have you unlocked your phone using fruitcake? Which CWM are you running?
It's Pudding, not fruitcake.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If not, then unlock it. Search for pudding in the Dev Forum.
After that, you need the right recovery (CWM)
Which recovery are you using? You should flash romracer's latest CWM. Most of all the ROMs are using the latest Romracer's recovery so you won't go wrong with using that.
Then from there --- you should be good to go.......
I had no idea you had to unlock, I thought unlocking and rooting was the same thing. And I a bit new with lingo does CWM refer to Clockwork Mod? If so I downloaded the standard free Rom Manager on the market. I assume judging by your message I should probably unlock my phone using fruitcake? If I do can you post simplified link on how to install fruit cake?
Follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
The instructions provide links for Pudding and romracer's recovery, which are both needed to flash any custom Rom.

I have installed rsdlite. Where can I find the drivers that I'm supposed to install? Or does it come bundled already?
Here:

Also, after you install the drivers it helps to plug it in and then go through all the USB options in the drop down and allow each one to install as well. (eg. Windows Sync, USB Mass Storage, Portal)

Yeah i remember downloading this a while back.... I'm currently at Proper Recovery 5B and my command prompt says <waiting for device> and it wont allow me to type 5C.... Do I choose either A,B or C then pick D? And I'm currently on my bootload screen and it says Unlocked in the top left corner
Does anybody know anything of this nature?
Someone help I'm getting worried now
Now my phone shut off and the charging light is on....
I typed in 5c and it says it's not found... i tried 5d and that didnt work <waiting for devices> .... my phone was unresponsive even to the power button so i pulled the battery and turned it on it brought me back to the bootload screen that said unlock in the top left. my phone is now charging on the normal house charger and i turned it back on it's responsive I dont have any of my cards in so it's showing motoblur
Does this mean my phones unlocked and I should just go ahead and install the CM7?

My father-in-law got a Prime about a year ago and used it for a month. Last night I came into my possession! So with what little time I had last night to play with it I unlocked the bootloader. I'm running 4.0.3 and the build is 9.4.2.21 (I know the last number is 20-something but I don't have it in front of me so I can't verify this but I think it's 21).
So I have the bootloader unlocked but I am a little cautious on how to proceed. I'm not new to rooting cause I did it on my OG Droid, Thunderbolt, and Verizon SGS3 but I've never used NV Flash so I just have a few things I was hoping the Prime community could help me with. I have read through the development forum but nothing really lays out steps. There is a video to unlock the bootloader and other videos showing how to root. Like I said, I just wanna make sure I'm doing it right.
How I think the steps go:
1) Unlock Bootloader (DONE)
2) Install Recovery (TWRP)
3) Run NV Flash (can this be done on ICS or JB?)
4) Root using an ICS one click method (this seems to be an easy one to use zedomax one click
5) Upgrade the bootloader from ICS to JB (not sure how to do this or where to get the JB bootloader)
6) Install JellyBean ROM of choice (Energy ROM seems to be pretty popular)
Any help/advice?

You have unlocked so now get nvflash done http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/ you can only do this while on ICS and if you make backups of the files created during the process you can never hard brick your device so get this done first.
Once that is done you can flash TWRP for ICS (make sure it is ICS version while on ICS bootloader, you will install a JB version later on)
You can now go about updating to jellybean bootloader and custom rom. You do not need to root first as the root will be built into the custom rom.
The easiest way I can suggest is to follow my instructions in the second post here for "Upgrade Instructions for ICS" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674827
If you wanted to install energy rom instead of Hairybean just replace the hairybean 1.51 rom in the instructions with energy rom and do the same.

Awesome! Thanks for the help!
Couple questions:
1) I read through that second post and the TWRP update says "HairyBean TWRP Update." I'm guessing what this does is install a JB version of TWRP. Question is, does it matter that is is labeled with "HairyBean" if I am going to install something other than that ROM?
2) ROM suggestions? I just read some posts of people saying they really like Energy ROM. How's HairyBean? Comparison between the two?

1. Hairybean Twrp is just a version I made that looks like you are in Jellybean and to me has a more logical layout. There is also an installer script that you run from windows to make it easier for people to install. If you want the default look then go to the twrp website and get the ics version and run the commands manually. It makes no difference what twrp you are running it is just cosmetic.
2. They are both based on stock rom, Hairybean looks more like the standard Jellybean where as Energy rom is themed. It is all down to personal preference. Try both and see which one you prefer.
edit.. Don't forget you are going to need an ICS version of twrp first. The hairybean twrp is for after you have flashed the JB bootloader.

You can do it thru the tablet but it is a last resort really.
Download - ADB / Terminal method (not recommended):
Download the corresponding .blob file above. Save it to the root of your /sdcard directly (internal memory only) and rename it to twrp.blob
Launch terminal emulator or connect to your computer and open an adb shell, then type the following:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
Then reboot normally (NOT to recovery) to complete installation.

I've got a problem.....I can't figure out how to flash TWRP for ICS. From my rooting experience, I was going to flash it through ROM Manager or ROM toolbox but you need root in order to do that. I can't seem to get root though. I tried Zedomax and TPSparkyRoot but I can't get root access. How do I flash TWRP or any recovery for that matter without obtaining root access?
I did the NV Flash and it went good. FYI

Extract it to your pc.
Power off the prime and then hold down power button and volume down for about 10 seconds until you see icons on your screen. Press volume down to go to the usb icon and then press volume up to enter fastboot mode (it will say entering fastboot mode and freeze on your screen, this is normal)
Make sure you have the drivers installed on pc for fastboot. You probably did it when you did nvflash but if not get them here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502

Hello All,
I posted this on the post for Android Revolution and seem to have run out of interest. This was my post.
Hello,
I messed up and flashed the boot file before I installed the rom file in the internal storage. Now the phone wont boot at all. Can you help me fix this please.
I've tried to search for answers but cant find anything.
I can get into fastboot mode and into CMW mode. So I am able to enter sideload mode but cant get the phone to take the sideload.
I'm afraid I may have formatted the storage too.
Can anyone help me please?
Steve the noob.
Right now I am completely bricked. Tried everything, reinstalled SDK, tried sideloading in a couple of ways, stuck in bootloader or CMW. Try to load and sticks on white HTC page.
PLEASE HELP. I followed all of the directions except for loading the boot first.
Is there a factory reset like the old Oden system that could save me?
Can you get into fastboot?
If so you need to then flash the boot.img via fastboot.
Type fastboot flash (name of file).img in command prompt and you should be good to go!
which boot image?
Looks like you took the wrong version for your phone. You have an AT&T / Telus phone. You can not take an International ROM for your phone.
Only AT&T / TELUS ROMs will work on your phone.
I forgot, you can not bricked your phone since our HTC ONE X+ are S-ON, you just missed something to have it going.

Which CWM are you on? Lloir or the other guys? VERIFY YOU HAVE THE PROPER RECOVERY INSTALLED. IF YOU ARE ON THE AT&T MODEL USE THE AT&T RECOVERY
You can run an RUU (verify proper carrier and model) while at the fastboot screen, or install TWRP and try to sideload using that from the SDK PLATFORM TOOLS FOLDER. You mentioned you have the SDK installed but I need to stress DO NOT USE THE TOOL KIT IT IS WORTHLESS. Make sure you have the official HTC drivers installed that come with HTC SYNC using generic drivers from the tool kit usually yields worthless resutls.
I cant get the rom on the phone. It's completely stuck in a boot loop. Only thing I can do is go into bootloader or CWM. I need to sideload a rom. But it wont let me.

OK...
Let's start with the correct Recovery for your phone, download link -> Click me!
N.B. -> Rename this file like this -> TWRP2recovery
Put this file in your platform-tools of SDK folder.
Put your phone in bootloader (fastboot USB)
Type this : fasboot devices (Enter... you should have your serial in return)
Then type : fastboot flash recovery TWRP2recovery.img (Enter)
Again type : fastboot erase cache (Enter)
Unplug your USB cable and hit Power button one time
Select Recovery
Hit Power button one time to reboot in Recovery
Try to sideload an ATT&T / TELUS ROM ONLY
Go for Elegancia AT&T/TELUS ROM for this time. (Choose one of your choice in the Download section here)
What are the results?
Well, thanks for all your efforts, but it's a lost cause. I tried the last posters suggestions and it wont let me flash the recovery at all. It's done. I have insurance so I'm just going to smash it and file a claim. I give up. I wont do that again.
Which error you have when you try to flash the recovery? Is your phone recognized at least when you are typing : adb devices ?

Have you tried just running the RUU? People say it takes a few times. Your phone is not bricked if you can get into fastboot.

I got this when I typed "fastboot devices",,,
Then when I typed fastboot recovery to load the file, it showed this
just tried a dif file path and got this
Oh, by the way, my bootloader has been relocked. Can I fix this through bootloader?
First let's install your SDK folder correctly then you will see, it will work flawlessly.
Have a look at my screenshot, see how mine look simple compare to yours.... Yes, I have two devices plugged.
Install your SDK tool like it is explained in this thread.
The version numbers are different but the installation stay the same.
EDIT : What is your computer OS? I will point you to the good htc drivers.
I have really tried, spent 4 hours searching the web but my phine has been stuck at the htc logo upon booting, I can acess the bootloader and CWM and have the recovery etc. but cant figured out how to "unbrick" my phone, HELP! please!

I plugged it in and yes, it charged! but I am gonna try the RUU now, ill tell you the results, really never encountered this before ;(
May I ask why you want to relock your bootloader?
If your phone is not charging, it's probably because your Recovery is not the latest to date.
@muhhh351
You should flash a Recovery known working on charging mode, the first releases were lacking this mode, but this is resolved now. Click on Frequently Asked Questions in my signature everything is there for you to find about HOX+ and their recoveries.

TWRP is more complete and a rigourously tested recovery. CWM was modded to work on the HOX+.
First make sure your SDK tool (adb) is correctly installed and also the HTC's drivers. (There is a link for a tutorial in my signature.)
Download the correspondent recovery for your phone International OR AT&T/Telus (N.B. Links are available in the Sticky FAQ)
Flash the Recovery.
Clear Cache
Reboot in Recovery
Install your correspondent version of any ROM.zip you want that is already on your storage. (Otherwise,Sideload a ROM to be able to flash one inRecovery)
Flash the boot.img of your desired ROM
Clear Cache Again
Reboot
Should work

CWM wasn't "modded" it's just crap.

I tried to be polite (anyway I am not allowed to talk like that, I never developed any sort of app, neither a ROM or kernel so I am not very qualified to judge others work), I'm sure you understood what I meant.
And yes I agree everything is way more complicated and unstable with CWM.
Please help. I'm having same problem. I can get into bootloader and fastboot and even successfully installed recovery but I can't get into recovery bc I always go to that white htc screen and no idea what to do next. Please please help me. I am on 1.15 software and 1.32 hboot and 4.1.1 Android version
Thank u

Reboot your phone in Bootloader mode (fastboot) you should have this 4 choices :
HBOOT
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
leave HBOOT highlighted then press the power button once, a new menu will appear :
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
SHOW BARCODE
IMAGE CRC
From there with the Volume control (up & down) simply select RECOVERY and press Power button one time, your phone should Reboot in Recovery mode.
When in Recovery mode the VERY FIRST thing you will do, is a complete backup of your actual ROM and you will keep it as long as you gonna own the phone, so put this backup in a safe place on your computer and make sure to never delete it.
Thank you but the thing is.. I put twrp on it and version 2.3.3.0 and it won't boot in it. Any ideas why? Then I looked for a more recent recovery and I wasn't sure if this is evita?? So, basically I'm still unable to get into recovery and it goes to that htc white screen.
Btw. Your instructions are excellent

Is your SDK/ADB Tool correctly installed?
Link in my signature...
Yes and I use windows 7 and open my command prompt within platform tools. My drivers say MY HTC. Yes. Ty

OK I will give you a trick...
Navigate to platform-tools of your SDK folder.
Right click and create a New text document
In the new text paste this : c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
Save it with this name : StartADB.bat (important to save it with .bat extension and overwrite the warning)
Now right click again on your new bat file, and create a shortcut to your desktop.
Now try to adb devices your phone via your new desktop shortcut.
Type this command with your phone plugged : adb devices
You should have your serial in return
OK I am doing that. Please give me a few MIN. Ty
