So I've tried installing the CM10 alphas from both CWM 5.0.2.8 and TWRP 2.2.1.b1 (I think those are both the right version numbers). With dalvik and cache wiped.
Either way, flashing from either recovery doesn't allow me to boot the rom. All I get on boot is a screen flash then a black screen.
Anyone else experienced this?

Did you wipe data too? Might be a good idea.
Try using TWRP to install it.

As in my original post... I have tried that as well since I thought that it might be a problem with using CWM to flash it. I had the exact same results.

Thanks. I figured the normal data/dalvik should have worked... looks like data does need to be wiped as well.

Hello my friends.
I unlocked the BL and install the CWM. So i try to install a new ROM at my Atrix.
I made the installation of the Neutrino V1.4 GT, but after made the installation of the .zip , my atrix got stuck at the boot screen.
So i made the restore of the backup that I already made, and the smartphone starts ok.
After that i tried install other ROM , CM7-ICS-FINAL and I got the same stuck boot screen.
I found other Thread about that same problem, and the user found a solution but he forgot to post that solution, just wrote ''problem solve''.
Anyone know what can i make to install the ROM ? Thanks for your attention

You are most likely using an outdated CWM (my guess would be Tenfar's). If it doesn't support ext4 then any ROM based on CM7 will not boot. Either use the one that comes with ROM Manager, romracer's, or TWRP.

That would be my guess, the recovery.

Be sure to let us know if it worked in case anyone else with the same issue can find the answer much easier.

Hello my friends..
I made the install of the romracers recovery.. and i installed the ROM ( Neutrino ROM ).
But Now it gets to the boot up screen that says "Neutrino ROM ... system loading" the screen will black out for a couple seconds and then come right back to that screen in a loop. its been happening for about 15 minutes.
obs : I forgot to make the backup
Thanks for the help!
Did you use the recovery for the factory data reset and wipe cache/dalvik cache? You might want to try fastboot wipe as well.

hello my friend,
i just made the WIPE CACHE AND WIPE DALVIK CACHE and the install of the ROM.
When i saw the screen NEUTRINO I was happy, until the time the ''system loading" getting black out for a couple seconds and then come right back. I knew there was something wrong.
Now I will make the process again with the factory data reset and then i will post what happened
Thanks
MY FRIEND..
thanks for all the support! I made the again the process with the factory reset and now the ROM is installed correctly.
Let me ask a question. I want to install a new kernel to try the overclock 1.3GHZ. That new kernel can be installed with the romracers ?
Thanks for the attention

Yes, romracer is recommended. It is the only recovery that is specifically developed for the Atrix 4G. You could also try the TRWP Recovery but romracer's recovery is proven to work well and recommended by most.
Glad everything worked out.

i am using the Goo.im app from the playstore to download the nightly builds directly to my touchpad, i then use TWRP to install. for some reason though, i can't install any of the previous nightly builds, it always says that the installation failed. will someone explain to me how to install nightly builds over top of the first nightly build i downloaded?
Have you tried performing a full wipe before installation? Sounds like the files may be corrupted as well.

Agreed, possible corruption with previous zip files.
What is a full wipe exactly if i may ask?

Within ClockworkMod select "Wipe data and Cache" then go to "Advanced" and select "Wipe davlik cache". That should do it for you.
Then when you want to install a new nightly make sure that you wipe the davlik cache again before flashing the newer nightly. Don't wipe the data or cache because then it won't retain all your apps and data. Either way before you install a new ROM make sure you take a nandroid backup that way if something went wrong you can return everything back to normal.

I've wiped that, and still no luck. It always fails.

Not sure if you want to go this route but you can make backups of anything important on your TP and wipe your SD card and per form the full wipe 3 times then download the rom/gapps of your choice and move them to your tp using usb mass storage mode in CWM and then try flashing and see what happens.
Hopefully you can get this sorted out, let us know if you need any more help.

Can you explain that a little more clearly? Also, is it possible to do this with TWRP? If so, please help.
It wouldnt hurt to check the md5 sum to make sure the rom isnt a bad dl.
To wipe on twrp, click on the wipe button and it will take you to a screen where you can wipe things.

i have done wipes each time. Also, i have dl from two different sources and still no luck.. any other ideas?
twrp is fail. go back to CWMrecovery, and if it doesnt work with the zips you downloaded with the goomanager app, then download the nightly manually from the goo.im site and try that.
The problem with going back to CWM is the fact i never had CMW recovery installed... like i put the zip on my touchpad and all, but it was never installed. at least i think i put it on there...

The not wiping anything part is probably your problem. You should always at least wipe cache and dalvik. Data and system can stay intact. Make sure you downloaded the right version aswell. (Cdma/gsm) wipe those and try again. If that doesn't work, perhaps try those fixes youre refering to and if that doesn't work, full wipe.

Which rom are you referring to? cm10 is his latest i believe? Is your photon unlocked & rooted? What Recovery did you flash? (joker has A CWM specially made for his roms) Unless you are upgrading a rom to a newer version of it, or you are using aroma installer, it is always important to wipe your phone prior to flashing. Im a wee bit OCD about it, so i
1) Wipe data/factory reset
2) Wipe Cache Partition
3) Format System
4) Format Data
5) Format Cache
6) Wipe Dalvic Cache
Then begin flashing. For safe measures always flash your rom twice to ensure it has been properly flashed
*edit*
Did you flash from a stock rom? If so, which gingerbread version was it running? and did you ensure to update it before you flashed?
hi .am using xperia u,and have installed kernel phantom.while installing firebean i had a problem.1ly the boot animation is visible and not able to enter into the menu.pls give me some suggetions to over come this problem..

did you wipe cache and dvalik and data before flashing?

Enter in to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik and reboot system, if it don't works then reflash the ROM.
If you are installing the ROM by flashing from CWM Recovery, wipe cache/dalvik before flashing.
If you are installing a custom ROM over another ROM might also cause this problem. so clear data also..

try flashing another custom kernel, and try to enter into recovery.. if you can enter clear cache, data, dalvik and try booting system.
If this doesn't works you might be doing something wrong. please re do the things which I told you in the previous post. It seems you are skipping some parts.
Flashing Stock FW for Xperia U must bring you out of this. Have you tried out finding the correct FirmWare for your device. I think the latest FW is based on jelly bean and build version is 6.2.A.x.xx....

Hi guys, I'm a new user here. I've tried to install a new cyanogen rom on my ATRIX and for some reason got stuck on the main Unlocked screen where it keeps looping over and over and it doesn't go anywhere. I've tried to enter the ANDROID RECOVERY mode in order to swap and reset it, but it doesn't allow me to. Can anyone help me, please? I don't really know what to do. I hope I can find some clues here, it is my only chance.
