I am absolutely new to this Android ROM installs on the phones. Though I decided to install this ROM I absolutely didn’t’ have any idea how to proceed. As a beginner I started doing the following in order.
Download and Keep the CM7 ROM
1. Downloaded Ba2F.zip to my laptop
2. Downloaded and Installed the Motorola USB drivers MotoHelper_2.0.53_Driver_5.2.0.EXE
3. Connect the Atrix and set the USB option on the phone to “USB Mass Storage”
4. Copy both BaTF.zip as well as the Extracted one to Phone internal storage as well as the Ext-SDcard on the phone
Download ROM Manager and Titanium Backup
1. Downloaded both from Android Market (ROM Manager Pro and Titanium Backup Free Version)
2. Both Apps won’t open because I had not ROOTED the phone
Root the Phone
1. I used “Pete's Motorola Root Tools.EXE” file to ROOT the phone
2. Followed step by step as mentioned here http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-motorola-atrix-4g-35233/
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
1. I used ROM Manager to do this as when you try to do anything in ROM manager it prompts to do this. The version of this is 5.0.2.0 ( I am not sure what is this for why we have to do this)
Unlocking the Bootloader
1. What I learned is, to unlock the bootloader, we have to first flash the phone with the SBF file
a. Installed RSDLite5.3.1.msi
b. Loaded the file 4547-fix-try2.sbf (Downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261)
c. Boot the phone with Power+volume UPPER key pressed till "Starting RSD protocol support" comes up
d. Connect to the Laptop and Hit Start button in RSD Lite Program
e. It Did Throw an error saying “FAIL” after showing the following message
i. Failed to boot: error 0x1000'( not word for word). There will also be a list of boot options like Fastboot, RSD, Recovery, etc. And it says Starting Fastboot Protocol
2. Then comes unlocking the phone
a. Though I had the previous error message, it still had the Fastboot Protocol loaded
b. I went to the FASTBOOT folder in command prompt of my laptop executed the following to unlock the phone which worked perfectly as I see the “Unlock” on the left hand corner when phone boots
c. fastboot oem unlock (it gave me the code) then I used the code to unlock
d. fastboot oem unlock #######
e. fastboot reboot
3. Installing the recovery IMG
a. I had downloaded the Recovery IMG file (recovery-atrix5.img) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
b. Booted the phone into Fastboot mode (turn off phone, hold power and volume down key until 'fastboot' appears then use volume up to select so it says 'starting fastboot protocol support').
c. From the CMD promnt and FASTBOOT directory I used fastboot erase recovery
d. Then I executed fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img (Note: I didn’t rename the file to recovery as suggested by some people)
e. Then gave fastboot reboot to restart.
4. Booting into Recovery mode (This is where I have the problem)
a. The phone is not booting into recovery it’s not going past the Android and yellow Triangle screen
b. I re-flashed the phone same SBF file (this time it was a success showed in the RSD Lite Program), re-installed the same IMG file after renaming to recovery.img
c. Also tried with a different IMG from the same link (recovery-blue-atrix5.img) but no luck
d. Also deleted the file install-recovery.sh from ./etc/ folder (bought the app root manager to delete the file) and then push the recovery.img, no luck
e. Some people said to TAP the bottom right corner while on that screen, did that but nothing is happening
f. Then I saw a note to press both the Volume Keys at the same time, this works but in this mode the cursor (I mean the selection) on the phone doesn’t go to the First TWO (i and iii) shown below, it allows me to select any of the last FOUR (v, vi, vii, viii).
i. Android System Recovery <3e>
ii. <EMPTY LINE >
iii. Android System Recovery utility
iv. <EMPTY LINE >
v. Reboot System now
vi. Apply update from sdcard
vii. Wipe data/factory reset
viii. Wipe cache partition
g. Using the above option I did factory reset but sill no results.
5. Current condition of the phone
a. It boots in unlock mode and I can do all the daily tasks. But I want to install the CM7 ROM that’s my requirement
PLEASE HELP HELP HELP
First of all, I applaud your effort in giving the a very comprehensive description of your issue.
Second, it seems you are having issues with installing a custom recovery because the recovery you're describing is still the stock recovery. I'll look around and see if I can find something that might help.

Have you tried re-installing the CWM from RomManager through RomManager? And then boot into recovery from within the app?
---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------
EDIT: This might seem trivial, but is "USB Debugging" turned on?
You are the Man, I just flashed the same CWM 5.0.2.0 and i am in the recovery mode. This gave me an error when i did last time hence i didn't try again.
Thanks a bunch
Glad I can help, also, I think it's recommended to use the RomManager recovery for CM7 so good thing it worked.

Oops.. started again, Can i use the recovery-atrix5.img and ROM manager flash it? if yes, then how?
I copy this file (after renaming to recovery.img) to both internal storage and SD card then what option should i choose in ROM Manager?
If you downloaded the CWM zip file for the romracer recovery and as long as RomManager's recovery is working then, yes, you can.

See post#2 from romracer's thread. Read the Miscellaneous part. Probably need to get rid of, or backup, install-recovery.sh.
He has mentioned he already did that. In his OP, under the steps he took look at "Booting into Recovery Mode" - 4.d, he says he removed it.
Maybe he's not doing it in the right order? Do you happen to know which should be done first as far as installing recovery and removing said file?

Woops, I should have read more carefully. It's best to remove the file first and then flash the recovery.img, or else the script will install the stock recovery on boot. That would make stock recovery the current one on the phone at the time of the script getting deleted.
I would double check and make sure /system/etc does not have install-recovery.sh. If it is not there, then proceed to the fastboot steps and reflash the recovery.img again. It should stick this time.
@Ghost, yes i deleted the file multiple times however i didn't find the /system/etc folder on the Internal Storage. however I found the install-recovery.sh file under /etc folder. The thing i observed that whether i flash it with a new CWM or not if i reboot the phone then it was created by itself.
@Live4nyy, Thanks for your suggestion, I could able to install CM7 now and it looks awesome good so far, but looks like i need to install Google Apps separately to access the APP market, am I right?
The only thing that happens to me is, it allowed me to go to Recovery only ONCE after i Flashed it thru ROM Manager, if i exit out of recovery without doing anything then next time tried to go to Recovery, it will struck at the same old Android screen and i had to flash it again. But Many thanks for suggesting to flash it thru ROM Manager.
Now with CM7, under ROM Manager (I guess this comes default with CM7) I see there is no version listed under "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery" and it says i must have to install it in-order to Flash and restore ROMs, do i need to do that? I can go to Recovery mode after reboot without any issues. Please Advise.

I just checked out my girlfriend's stock, locked, unrooted Atrix and she actually has install-recovery.sh in both /etc and /system/etc. Her file manager does not alphabetize anything in either folder, so I almost overlooked the second one.
If you're already on CM7, then you probably won't need to worry anymore. They have an entirely different set of start up scripts in that folder. Welcome to the community!
At this point I do not know enough to help you any further with this issue. All I knew about is the file that needs to be removed that @ghost_og has mentioned. But if you can flash it from RomManager and access CWM from there as well then I guess that's a good enough workaround for now.
Does anyone else have any idea why the stock recovery cannot be removed?

I am good to go now, everything seems to be functioning well after flashing CM7 ROM, no more recovery issues, and the Stock recovery is gone now.
Appreciate for all the info you guys provided, it helped a lot. Have a great day and Merry Christmas.

Has anyone got any pointers on how to get out of recovery on the oneplus x. The phone 'was' rooted, but I unrooted to allow the update. However it failed and now just boots inot recovery.
I have wiped data and cache, formatted device, but no luck in getting the phone to boot. It hasn't had a custom rom or recovery.
How do I go about flashing the latest update manually?
I'm able to get into fastboot mode, should I update the recovery to stock? This seems a little weird as I haven't replaced the stock rom, but I was wondering if this might help.

If you have stock recovery, just download the full OS and install it. However, you will need to have a computer and a way to save the ROM onto the micro SD card.
Full ROM 2.1.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3244996
If you can't do that and you have an unlock bootloader. You can flash twrp, then adb sideload the ROM onto the phone. Then re-flash stock recovery again and install the ROM.
You can flash OTA from twrp, follow this thread.

So,
I have added OnePlusOxygen_14_OTA_004_all_201511031712.zip to an sd card. Booted into recovery with the sd card installed, select 'Install from local' and nothing happens.
Am I missing something?
Also, I am unable to unlock the bootloader as the enable oem unlock wasn't set and I'm now unable to boot into the system to set it.
Also, Im pretty sure usb debugging wasn't enabled either.
Did you manage to fix your phone? I had a similar issue, what I did was;
Load the full ROM into the root of my internal storage (not SD card)
Boot into stock recovery
Install from local - this should list the ROM
Select the ROM and follow the instructions.
How do you load the ROM onto the internal storage? I am not able to adb push in sideload mode and adb sideload doesn't work.
So I've tried to follow both of the methods listed here, but I've had no luck.
Trying the sd card route I am not offered the option to install from sd card, I only get 'Install from local' and 'Install from USB'.
When I try to 'Install from USB' I receive the error:
error: protocol fault (no status)
And the message on the phone says installation failed.
Do I have any other options?
I have the same problem

No,
I ended up returning the phone to oneplus. They sorted it (or gave me another one).

i had a similar issue. i installed twrp and backed up my rom. restored rom to get ota but it failed everytime i tried. tried to flash stock recovery but locked the bootloader before flashing stock recovery using fastboot oem lock command and the stock recovery installation failed everytime as the bootloader was locked. tried fastboot oem unlock with status success but while checking always show me bootloader lock status true. The bootloader won't unlock unless you have a stock recovery. installed cm13 using twrp, copied stock recovery and oxygen os zip 2.2.0 downloaded from oneplus website to internal memory, flashed stock recovery using twrp and flashed stock rom using stock recovery.
completed 2.2.1 ota and it worked.
How to flash stock recovery using twrp recovery... Please send me link

Just download this file http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-x/oneplus_x_oxygenos_2.2.3/ and paste it into the sd card as it is dont extract and do not paste that file into any folders. Select install from local then select sd card, you will see this file first on the list select it after getting success just reboot it!
Done Enjoy!

Hello folks,
I tried following a root/flash tutorial online. This was my first experience. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900w (canadian version). I was running Marshmallow stock.
Rooted phone using Odin.
The tutorial called for recovery using Philz recovery, but it seemed it was outdated or updated, so I tried using Cyanogenmode Recovery.
After rebooting, I used what I believed to be close enough to the next step: Wipe data and erase everything option.
After that, I did not have a 'install from sd card' sort of option and ended up with a reboot of the phone.
At this point, I have option for ODIN or recovery mode. I can point to the SD card or adb.
Each time I try to point to a ROM using SD card option it fails to validate the signature and I cannot complete it. I have tried using different ROMs to no avail.
When I power on the phone normally I get the Samsung Galaxy S5 screen powered by Android with the following in top-left corner of the screen, yellow font.
"Set Waranty Bit: kernel"
By all means I am a newb here.
Would anybody mind lending a hand to get me headed in the right direction? Would like to try using a Cyanogen mod 13 ROM to start.
Kind Regards,
Lonely without a phone
side note: It would be nice to know what I may have done wrong and where to go from here.
Few things that you can try:
Use adb while in recovery to push a rom zip to the internal storage.
Switch to TWRP (preferred recovery for most phones any more)
Make sure the rom zips you are downloading are not corrupted by checking the md5.
I'd personally go with TWRP. I've modded 100s of phones and that's my go to as long as there is a stable version for the phone. https://dl.twrp.me/klte/ I'd use the newest tar file to flash in Download Mode if you are using Marshmallow roms. It also features a file manager that you can transfer zips from SD to internal, if need be. If you want to push files to internal, you can use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790. Put the zip in the folder, open the commands prompt and have phone plugged in recovery mode. Check connection by using the command: adb devices then push file by: adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/ Note - you might need to reboot recovery if it does not show up in the root of the intenal storage after successfully pushed to the phone right away.
Hard to say exactly what happened without knowing which versions of the roms and recovery you are trying.

Hey es0tericcha0s,
Thanks so much for your help. I focused on switching up the recovery img. I used TWRP and it was SOOOOOO much better/easier, so thank you.
After that, the roms were able to show up and be applied and everything was smooth.
You da man.
You're welcome. I love TWRP. ?
I just rooted my phone lenovo k4 note using golden twrp and flashed resurrection remix with open gapps. Unfortunately the gapps zip file was corrupted and I wasn't able to fix that.
So I booted my phone to the new os , took the new feeling but later realised the gapps are mandatory.
So I downloaded a new file and tried to go to twrp recovery mode. But I wasn't able to. I thought the bootloader must've locked itself up so I unlocked it again, flashed the twrp recovery IMG file with adb and booted my phone to recovery. But still twrp didn't start.
BUT THEN I SAW THAT I HAD NO INTERNAL STORAGE
Just the SD card
Later I was able to wipe the custom rom from twrp and I flashed the resurrection remix and gapps.
Still internal storage was missing. Can anybody help me please?

Try flashing the stock ROM, see if your storage reappears on your stock ROM.
Also, do you get any information about your internal storage in Settings>Storage on your current ROM?
I don't know if it will help, but in TWRP recovery, go in Advanced>Fix permission
I feel like the OS doesn't have permission to internal storage, in the best case it will fix your issue in the worst case it will do nothing
But safest and easiest way to fix those kinds of issues is to wipe every thing and flash official ROM

Settings>Storage just shows the is size that's is roughly around 7gb
It says 7.11gb used of 7.15gb.
It should have been 16gb
I usually have around 10 GB free internal storage

So I tried to go to twrp, but the same problem occurred.
It seems my phone is unable to go to recovery.
I did the one with power button and volume keys, and it tries to go to recovery but the ROM boots up.
I also used the is function of reboot to recovery but by this too the ROM boots up and not twrp

Ok first of all makes sure ADB is enabled in your settings just in case something goes wrong you will be able to fix it without swearing
Once ADB connect your phone to your PC and use CMD/terminal command to reboot your phone in bootloader
Then reflash TWRP using the CMD/terminal
Once it's done reboot your phone and try to go to the recovery
EDIT: I made some search
And I need you to provide me some more information
RR ROM you flashed, I need the Android version (Lollypop/5.x or Marshmallow/6.x.x or Nougat/7.x.x)
And please provide me the link to the TWRP recovery you used (if you found the TWRP recovery not on XDA, DM me the link instead, follow the rules.)
I might need the phone model/or code if applicable
(Ex: I have a Huawei Nexus 6P but codename is angler) you can see this in the bootloader

Thanks for the help but I found what was the concern (my problem is not fully solved)
The recovery was very stubborn to just start up.
So I used the official twrp app and flash booted through my phone.
Fortunately it worked.
I wiped everything including internal storage and the storage just showed up in my pc.
I flashed the ROM and Gapps again and the problem got solved.
There just one thing now, the internal storage is there when I go to Settings>Storage but cant access through File Explorer or pc.
The apps got downloaded to the internal storage only so its not much of a problem though.
I am having the same issue.

I have a huawei Gr5 KII-L21 / kiwi mobile. Initially there was 16GB internal memory now it is just showing 2GB internal memory. I flashed stock rom yet the problem is there. I tried to flash stock rom in bootloader mode from window command prompt. Is there any method to get bak my internal memory?
Hey guys,
So i was following this guide: "Poco F1 - How to Unlock Bootloader & Install TWRP Recovery (IN JUST 5 MINUTES) by Xtream Droid" on youtube (can't post links yet)
After having installed TWRP and booting into it through Fastboot I get a prompt to enter a password. I hit cancel and slide to allow modifications.
I go to WIPE->Format Data->type yes and I get an error saying something about phone being encrypted (3 red lines, same as in tutorial at 5:32).
After this the guy from the video goes to the pc and transfers the DisableForcedEncryption.zip file to the TWRP folder.
My problem right now is that i can't see it on my pc. How can I transfer the DisableForcedEncryption.zip at this point? (edit: just had plug the cable back again to access the TWRP folder)
Also when I try to reboot to recovery it goes straight to Mi Recovery instead of TWRP. Did I do something wrong?
Thank you in advance

Since your device is encrypted and twrp couldn't decrypt it, hence you can't access Internal memory while on twrp. You van either use an SD card to flash the disabler zip file or use the trwp that comes with working decryption. You won't be needing to flash the DFE zip file.
Bro just flash another twrp with decrypted SD card
