[Q] Help for on old Atrix user - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

sent my wife's rooted atrix in for repair and they sent me back one with 4.5.141 i think it is. Now ive managed to get "unlocked" where it will flash when i boot and i have CWM installed on it but i cant get any rom to boot. I know im overlooking something simple probably but i cant seem to figure it out. If anyone could help i would really appreciate it. And yes i have searched but there is so much conflicting info on here now. Thanks in advance Could someone please give an old atrix user a hand?

I need to know a little more before I see if I can help.
1) Are you on the newest CWM recovery?
2) Did you put the zip file in the root of your storage?
3) Did you remember to wipe data, cache, dalvik before flashing the ROM?
4) What happens when you try to boot the phone up after flashing the ROM?
Sent from that Atrix... Motorola, where's my ICS?!

did you try wiping cache and user data after you installed the rom?

I am not sure but I'll try again.

Make sure you have the lastest cwm.if you have older version it will bootloop and just because you boot loop don't mean there is something wrong with your phone its something your doing wrong.

[Q] Help Phone Wont Boot Past AT&T Screen

Hi,
I just bought an AT&T SGS2. I began by rooting it, flashing cwm and trying to flash MIUI. But the phone would not boot up. So I downloaded ODIN one click back to stock and flashed that, but the phone still does not boot past the AT&T screen. I've tried flashing different roms from cwm none of which boot up.
Please point me in the right direction to get the phone to boot.
Thanks
Can you get into cwm? Id bet you didn't wipe before you flashed

+1 this.
boot into cwm>factory wipe data/factory>delete cache partition>delete dalvik cache> install zip from sdcard>pick your ROM...
Thanks guys wiping the all the caches did the trick. I didn't know it was a requirement for this phone. I came from a Captivate where is wasn't required to wipe everything.

He doesn't have CWM if he used the one-click back to stock, unless it failed and didn't flash a kernel. Stock kernel has 3e recovery.

Even on the Captivate, you had to wipe whenever flashing a new ROM. Returning to stock is, effectively, flashing a new ROM (the stock one).

stuck boot screen

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
**HAPPY NEW YEAR

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.

[Q] HELP: Omega 9.1 boots into CWM

I'd really appreciate some help guys, I've searched everywhere but can't seem to find answers.
I had Cyanogen Mod 9 rooted on my phone, however, I decided to install Omega instead, I installed it but I can't get on it! Everytime I install zip and reboot, it goes back to CWM Recovery!
The procedure was:
-deleted all files in internal SD
-Reboot into CWM Recovery
-Wipe data,cache,dalvik
-install zip from sd card
and now im stuck
Please help, and apologies if any noob mistakes were made

You'll lose all your data but do a factory reset and wipe your system in addition to what you've already done and re flash the rom. FYI always have a nandroid backup around before flashing. It's time consuming but saves you a lot of grief in the long run

Factory reset(wipe) is an option in cwm(3rd from above) wipe and reflash the rom and let it boot,this can take 10min
1st check md5 .. it will show u wether its bad download or nt ... and then do this
go into cwm and to wipe data\factory reset wipe cache wipe dalvik and insll rom ..
omega 10 is up so better try omega 10 as its new rom :

Factory reset is on the main Cwm screen. You can wipe system through the 'mounts and storage' option

How would put it into my internal SD if I can't transfer the file because I can only boot into Recovery or Download mode? Do I just Odin it straight in via the PDA option?
If you connect your phone with the PC while in recovery you should be able to use adb commands
Put the rom file into the adb folder than try
Code:
adb devices
now you should see any cryptic combination of letters and numbers in the next row
(if you see a empty row... that wouldn't be nice^^)
then do:
Code:
adb push yourromfile.zip /sdcard/yourromfile.zip
than try flashing again the new file
dont forget to do a full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe, the common procedure^^
PS:
If you don't know about adb, it is installed with the android sdk, but you can download it seperately
place the ADB folder somewhere on you system hd, maybe directly to C:\
the open cmd and type
cd C:\ADB\
now you're able to use the above commands
You can put it on an external sd and flash it from there...

Its my phone Btw and yeah it is gb 2.3.5, btw ive tried some steps i found around in some forums, and none worked so please help me with this issue! Thanks!
Basic recovery comes with those 4 options only so nothing is lost...only CWM has more options
Now...don't ever do a factory reset and wiping cache before installing new rom...when you install a new rom it itself formats them
Again...CUT your rom from sd card to computer and again copy it to your sd card....SAFELY REMOVE and again choose apply update from sd card
If this too didn't work...download a new rom and follow what I've said
