I install twrp which did not work well, i would do a backup but could not load any of them. So went back to cwm. I wanted to go back to cm9 cause cm10 is just not good for a daily tab, i don't get the reboots anymore but the battery life is worse then my cell phone! I tried doing a clean install of cm9 and it gets stuck on the boot animation....i tried a few time doing different wipes, ect with no luck....anyone else had this problem or and thoughts? Thanks

Which boot animation are you getting stuck with and is it bootlooping? It could possibly be kernel related.
cyanogen Cm9 (tried all versions) boot animation, just keeps going as if everything is fine but never stops. If i then load any version of nt cm10 it boots like normal. I read some other cm10 related forums about batt drain and said change cpu to hotplug. I tried on the nt and i no longer have bad batt drain. So maybe i can stay on cm10 but would still like to know why i can't go back? Also reboot to recovery doesn't work, have to get in cyanoboot to enter recovery.
Thanks for the response

How long are you waiting at the boot animation? The first boot can take a pretty long time.

5 minutes is probably too long. Which kernel do you guys have installed?

Kernel_CM_9.1.0_SR_CWM_Flashable.zip *new*
just a question, I just found the following instruction

-Flash CM9 Rom
-Flash Gapps
-Full wipe (data/factory reset + cache + dalvik)

will the full wipe delete my sd card contents ?

That's what I was getting at, to try a new kernel.
Full wipe/factory reset won't touch your microSD card contents or your /mnt/media data.

I let it sit 20 the last time I tried just to be super safe and sure it was not working. Now that the battery drain and sod issues have been fixed I am quite happy with cm10.....hotplug was the key!

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You are most likely using an outdated CWM (my guess would be Tenfar's).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.

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 ?

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.

So, I've been trying to install the Cyanogenmod for 2 days without success...
This is what I've been doing. Tell me if I do something wrong...
-Start with stock KE2
-Flash CF-Root wich also contains CWM
-Factory reset / Cache wipe
-Put cyanogenmod .zip on the phone
-Boot into recovery
-Select install .zip from sdcard, and I select the zip
-Phone says install succesfull (the install just takes like 3 seconds, is it normal?)
-I go back to the previous menu and select reboot phone
It gets stuck at the black "samsung galaxy s2" screen. I left it for more than 20 minutes that way. Nothing happens.
I just power it off and re-flash a stock firmare via odin...........
This happens with both the stable and the nightly cyanogen mod builds.
Could you help me please?
1) boot into CWM recovery
2) Flash CM7 zip
3) reboot into recovery again
4) flash CM7 zip again
5) wipe data/cache/dalvik cache (you will lose all your app data, but not pictures/media/etc)
6) reboot and wait for it to boot, upto 10min.
Why dont you just flash and cf- root stock rom then thru cwm just install the rom? easy and works, atleast for me it did, got back to stock thu , its better after you freeze all bloatware..
hope it helps

So it works? Dunno, it was something todo with differences in the CF-root CWM recovery and the CM7 CWM recovery and busybox.
If you'd bother to read the instructions for flashing CM (which you clearly didn't, else you wouldn't be asking this question), they're pretty clear about the requirement to flash the rom twice. The why is irrelevant. The simple reality is in order for it to function it needs to be flashed twice.
If you haven't already, do yourself a favour and flash the original stock firmware that was on the phone when you bought it before you end up trashing it :-/

You wouldn't have actually needed his advice if you bothered to read the instructions at least twice... -.-
Want to make sure I've got the procedure down. I'm currently running the latest stock rooted (but not unlocked).
Let me know if this plan looks right or if you see problems or have recommendations...
Edit: Included two wipes as per Joker's instructions
1) Backup apps and data
2) Unlock
3) Install romracer's latest CWM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16654262&postcount=1)
4) Make backup (or two)
5) Boot into recovery
6) Go to Mounts + Storage -> Format system
7) After format, Wipe data / factory reset
8) Install CM9
9) Wipe data / factory reset again
10) Install CM9
11) Install gapps
12) reboot
Did I miss anything?
Should I then install the latest 1.40 OC kernel? Edit: Looks like no, custom kernel built in. Thanks roundeye
Last I knew, jokers cm9 had an oc kernal with it, but in either case don't install a blur/cm7 kernal on cm9.
As for your steps, double check the first post in jokers cm9 thread because I believe you have to flash twice or something along those lines to get cm9 set up properly with its installer/backup scripts. Otherwise looks good.

Awesome thanks... I did see something about flashing twice. On his post, he lists the steps as:
WIPE
then flash
wont boot
wipe and flash again.
also wipe between versions.
did i mention to wipe
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I guess I go all the way through step 8, then repeat steps 7 and 8 again? then do 9 and 10?
Here's Joker's explanation for needing two wipes:
there are scripts built into cm9 that copy certain gapps over to cache and then restores them to system. if you are coming from gingerbread this messes a few things up. so to fix we wipe system, data, and cache so the script cant work the first time around. then we wipe and flash again letting the script work.

Don't do what I did: Forgo unlocking, and flash gapps and cm9 at the same time
Haha I'll keep that in mind
Ouch! That must have been harsh. Did you SBF back then?

I installed pacman rom yesterday and had no issues, today my screen wont turn off. It wont time out, and not even if i hit the power button. the only thing I am yet to try is a reflash.
Just wipe your caches and reflash the rom, should work.

wipe Davlik & Cache
flash rom a 2nd time with Gapps this time
wipe D&C again
then boot
let it settle that 10 minutes.................
reboot again and set up

So I desperately need help here! Using a GT-i9300 here.
Been at this for like 7 hours or so.
Was running a 4.1.2 rom for quite a while, thought I'd bump it up to 4.4.2 today.
Was thinking about flashing Resurrection Remix rom, so did the usual downloaded the files but noticed somewhere you need a 4.2.2 or above rom already in use to be flashing a 4.4.2. So went to S4 revolution rom (4.2.2). Then decided to flash the 4.4.2 rom.
Did the usual, data wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe. Flashed the rom. Then Gapps.
Now here's the messed up part, after flashing the phone would boot to the Rom logo. And it hasn't moved since. Thought something was up, flashed it again, did the take battery out thing also.
Thought it would be a ROM problem, so flashed 2 other roms. Neat rom and Gummy rom. Same result.
The 4.2.2 rom is working btw. So any ideas?!
Please! Reallly want the 4.4.2
Thank you!

Please read the RR thread again. You need a full wipe for it to work. Try a 4.3-based Rom like Omega and then search XDA on how to do a FULL wipe. Then proceed with RR.

Sorry, I've forgotten the link to the method. Maybe someone else can also shed light on this matter.
But if I remember:
- Wipe Cache,
- Wipe dalvik,
- format /system,
- format /data,
- format /cache.
- Then install the Rom.zip.
PS: Don't do "format /data and /data/media" section or it will delete everything on the internal SD. If you do this, make sure you have an external SD with a ROM placed in it (don't wipe this too) otherwise you will end up in a very difficult situation like i did

If I am not wrong, formatting data will not erase the root directory. Where u put the rom zip. But just have an ext sd card just for safety.

You're right. "format /data" does not erase the root directoy. But I found "format /data and /data/media and /sdcard" option deleted everything on my S3 and even adb sideload failed for me after selecting it. After that I had to reflash stock via Odin.
+1 to ext SD
~ RazorMC
Usually I would just flash the mega wipe zip to get the device clean (only leaves ext. sd) and then start reflashing from scratch. I find it easier than doing it manually in recovery.
@RazorMC @JellyYogurt
Hey! Sorry got a bit busy but just got around to what you all recommened today and it's still no use.
Did everything this time.
First, I tried flashing the RR rom with the full wipe as you said. Oh and I'm using CWM 6.0.4.7
- Moved the zip file to ext SD
- wipe data
- wipe cache
-wipe dalvik cache
- format /system,
- format /data,
- format /cache.
During this got a status 6 error with the RR rom and I had put a Gummy Rom (4.4.2) just in case so tried the same process with this also but got a status 7 error with this one.
Left both, downloaded CM 11. Did the same process while on the 4.2.2 rom with it. This got stuck on the boot screen. Like the CM logo was going around for 30 minutes.
Finally when I couldnt tolerate it, removed battery, moved to 4.2.2 again and downloaded a 4.3 rom. Again, CM.
You wouldnt believe this but this also didnt work! This got stuck on the same thing. CM logo is still flashing around. Been watching this for 20 minutes now.
So, you guys got any ideas? Really pissing off.
Btw, thanks for the previous replies )
Oh and btw, would it matter if I didnt flash gapps after flashing the rom?
Those are just for the Google services and not related to whether the rom is booting up to home screen right?

Try other recoveries to see if problem still there try latest PhilZ recovery (this as a setting for wiping and installing new roms)..if that does not work try twrp recovery..
No you don't have to flash gapps after flashing you can do that later..

Try a stock-based 4.3 like omega rom after flashing stock 4.1.2
Use Philz Recovery like tallman43 said. I prefer that over others.
If it doesn't work then maybe there's some compatibility issues.
