[Q] ROM not installing with CWM? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Atrix 4G is unlocked and I have perma CWM installed, used it for a long time with GB pudding and I wanted to try out a CM7 based ROM.
I've been trying to install MROM with no success at bootup it just stays on the Motorola Logo with the Unlocked. I thought maybe it was doing something and left it for 10 mins with no change.
Any suggestions on what other things I could do? I've tried clearing the cache/dalvik and wiping data/factory reset before installing.
Thanks,

Try wipe factory after install rom
Sent from my Atrix 4G using xda premium

Go to mounts and wipe system and osh. Flash rom. Will probably sit at boot.... Pull battery and flash rom again without wiping anything then should work

I tried factory wipe after the install.
Also formatted system/osh installing reboot and installing again.
No luck on either one. I was selecting install from zip and would navigate to the zip file downloaded from the link on the xda dev post here. Which is what I thought was the correct way of doing things.
The install takes about 10 seconds before it says it's complete and the boot I'm not sure how long to expect it before I need to pull the power and try again.

Are you sure you downloaded the correct zip file? Should be around 100 MB or so but seems if install is done in 10 seconds that you only have downloaded the kernel or something like that.
You can get MROM at montuori's website here
take the latest build (not the update, the normal version so without *-update.zip)

Yeah that is why I mentioned it only takes a few seconds to install. I did download the full Atrix-MROM-20121111.zip which is 119MB in file size. MD5sum is correct so the file isn't corrupted.
I've tried all different combinations to get this installed. I was running pudding 4.5.91 would that affect the install of MROM?

Might be time to upgrade your recovery. Last version for official clockworkmod no touch mode is 5.0.2.0, touch version is 5.8.1.8 (http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager)

Thats what I was thinking. So I can just RSD flash the recovery-clockwork img to upgrade it do you suggest the touch or no touch CWM?

flashing a recovery when your bootloader is unlocked is done via fastboot.
i use the touch version myself and am happy with it.
to flash rom you type
moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery <recoveryname>.zip
make sure you have the motorola fastboot and drivers, to enter fastboot you can either use "adb reboot fastboot" or boot phone with volume down key pressed, when fastboot appears press volume up
stay as far away from rsd if it's not necessary.

My CWM was too old to flash it so I had to update it first then things worked great. Thanks for the help and suggestions I didn't know recovery zips were based on different versions.

Congrats man

[RESOLVED] [Q] Can't get recent Cyanogen Mod update to flash

Im running into problems with Cyanogen Mod 7 I can't get it to install. I choose the zip in cwm and it sits there for a sec then gives me either a bunch of errors or a status 7. Its like the zip is corrupt. I tried re downloading it with no luck. I tried installing the 7 04 build and it just bootloops or doesn't work. I installed the june 19 build just fine though. Anyone else having problems? I got ukb to work just fine too
EDIT: Has been resolved. Thanks everyone for your kindness to my noobness

i ran into the same thing. If your already on 7/04 go into orange recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and it should work. If not try flashing one of the OTB kernals, rebooting then go to recovery and try to flash.
Orange recovery? Like do I use the recovery that I already have or should I download rom manager on 7/04 and flash that recovery because if that's not the case and I use the one I already have it won't work cause I tried it. :\

Once you have 7/4 test, you should go to Recovery via the reboot menu or adb reboot recovery.. DON'T use the power & vol- 7 vol+ method..
Also do not use rom manager with the fascinate period.

Until jt's commits get official CyanogenMod support - once that happens new CM7 nightlies will be posted to ROM Manager and the CM7 version of ROM Manager will work 100% for the Fasc.
Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
it's frustrating I know.. make sure you are on 7/04 build. When you flash CM7, instead of the red recovery, you should get the orange recovery. You can only flash 7/13 build from the orange recovery. Wipe cache/dalvik and you should be able to flash 7/13 without any problem.
If you are getting bootloop from 7/04, that's because you did not wipe data on red recovery before you flashed 7/04. Go back to the red recovery, wipe data, and flash 7/04 again. Flash 7/04 fully on orange recovery, reboot recovery, flash 7/13 after wiping cache/dalvik, profit.
edit-moved to Q&A
So how do I get orange recovery? Cause when I flash 7/04 I still have my old recovery
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
After you boot 7/4 cm7, you want to get into recovery by holding power button, selecting reboot, then recovery. Or open a terminal and type su <return> reboot recovery <return>.
After you are on cm7 my experience is never do 3 button recovery or it will hose everything that you have achieved to this point.

Okay well I got it installed. What I did was install 7/04 build, then I went into Rom Manager and chose the recovery I had installed or whatever. Then I rebooted into recovery and it was orange. Then I installed it just fine. I am now running on the 7/13 update Thanks everyone for your help, took me a bit to figure out but I got it.

[Q] 3 button fix

My vibrant is hardware locked and I've used the posted fix before, but it must not have stuck. I'm now on cm7 and when I reboot into recovery with rom manager the reinstall packages options is not there. I've tried to flash the update.zip file like a Rom, but it gives me an aborted message. How can I apply that fix without the reinstall package option?
y r u looking for reinstall the packages?...if that option is not there that means u have a working CWM?...sry didn't really understand what exactly are you trying to do..
In the thread for the hardware lock fix, the file is an update.zip to be placed an the card and opened by reinstall packages, but I don't have that option in recovery. I tried flashing off the card, but the install fails. It looks like its abd which I'm not familiar with. Thanks for you reply.
if you're on cm7, you already have CWM working, and renamig anything to update.zip to flash is a no-no for anything you're flashing.
But, withthat said, flashing the "fix" doesn't work on cm7 since the partitions are different and i doubt cm7 can see the promary bootloader and secondary bootloader partition.
You MUST get into dl and flash with odin.
Are you sure you have a hardware locked phone ?
If you can not get into recovery by holding ( power + vol up + vol down ) until boot screen appears the second time then release power only while still holding both vol buttons you are hardware locked .
If you are you will need to go back to JFD to flash the fix . You can download a terminal app since cm7 is rooted . Once you have the terminal app type
su
reboot download
You can now use Odin to flash back to JFD ,then flash the fix .
I would be really careful while doing this if you are hardware locked one mistake and you could end up with a brick . READ READ READ then READ again .

reboot download doesn't work on cm7 based roms.
Also, OP, make sure you haven't flashed GB bootloaders, as they change dl mode button combo.
Its locked,I've flashed the fix before and was running straight cm7, left via Odin and came back to trigger redux, which is great. I've had my vibrant since release, rooted and custom rom from about week two, all with the generous info on xda. I am going to try terminal emulator, I was using that first command line. Thanks.
Just to clarify, su reboot does not work with cm7? I just tried su reboot recovery and it worked.

[Q] Problem flashing MIUI - hboot 1.5

So I was walking my girlfriend through rooting her new Evo3D, and we couldn't get the phone to get past the 'MI' logo, so I figured it was a kernel thing. After four kernels and two versions of MIUI I realized that it wasn't the issue, it was the hboot.
She didn't back up, she has only had it since last night. I now know what I need to do to flash the ROM, but how can I get her back to stock so I can get the app needed?
Any help?
She has HBOOT 1.5, right?
Go back to the folder where you did all the rooting. Get the stock MIUI kernel (boot.img from the flashable zip) and place it in that folder. Open up a cmd and navigate to that folder.
Boot her phone into fastboot mode. (Vol down + power while the phone is off. Hit power button to select fastboot once it goes into bootloader) Plug the phone into the computer via USB
Type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' in the kernel. If it successfully flashes, you are done! MIUI should boot up now that it has the appropriate kernel. You will need to do this for any ROM you flash.
As long as you have a recovery, just flash whatever rom you want through fastboot and the kernel will stick.
Or just download a stock rooted rom and flash that the same way you just tried to flash MIUI. It will work since you still have the original kernel.

Well, ROM's cant be flashed through fastboot. The ROM is flashed through recovery. Then you go to fastboot and flash the kernel with my guide above. After that, everything should be working fine.

(Awesome response time BTW)
Roms are flashed through fastboot just by loading your recovery into fastboot.
I never flash roms and kernels separately. Just go into fastboot, load your recovery, and flash as you normally would.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I had something similar when flashing MIUI. if you boot the recovery.img from fastboot it should work. you may want to re download just in case of a bad download.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I'm having the same problem as epicchase. have attempted to flash miui many times. at first i tried to do it through my recovery. it didn't work. then i tried to use the fast boot method and flash it from the recovery that i opened from fast boot. i'm quite frustrated. it just wont boot miui, is it the kernel, i'm new to rooting in general but i think i know what i'm doing. i have spent who knows how many hours trying everything i can. i tried flashing the boot.img and the ROM separately. I have successively flashed android revolution hd, but that's no fun, its nearly the same as the stock ROM any suggestions would be appreciated. it boots but i guess it must be a boot loop but idk all i know is it freezes in the middle of the boot animation.
ps. i am rooted using the htc official method (unfortunately) and am s-on)

Did you do a full wipe before you flashed? Find Virus's Superwipe tool (.zip), boot to recovery with fastboot, flash the superwipe.zip, then flash MIUI.

well it didn't work it did the same exact thing. I've been giving it about 10 mins to attempt to boot is that long enough? I'm new to non sense roms I've only ever used sense, is there something I'm forgetting to do that is different for non sense roms. *frustration* (and i thought i was beginning to understand this)

okay well i tried to flash cyanogenmod 7 still no dice. I must be an idiot, sorry for being a noob.
this is what im doing.
im placing the .zip on root of my sd card. then opening my cmd.
i then type " cd c:\android" (i saved the recovery image in a folder named android) it says
"c:\android" just as it should i then type "fastboot boot recovery.img"
it restarts my phone in recovery
i press install .zip from sd card then click wipe cache and dalvik cache it goes and does its work
i then select the superwipe.zip it says flash compete however it says error or something but i just kind of ignored it.
i then select my miui.zip that i got from www.miui.us
i then select install .zip files the first thing that comes up is "md5 check fail- ignoring" and the continues and flashes (i have no clue what that part means but i continue anyway)
i select reboot and it starts to boot my phone i get the white screen with green htc.
i then get the miui boot animation for anywhere from 2-5 seconds and then it freezes.
i sit and nearly just stare at it and the clock. i wait at least 5 mins but have waited up to 30 mins.
the boot animation never restarts i just freezes there making me think it is not a boot loop (however the definition of an actual bootloop is slightly vague to me.)
anyway thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions i will be very happy for now im just gonna run my android revolution hd rom.
If superwipe isn't working, fastboot to recovery, go to the wipe menu, not install a zip, wipe dalvik, cache, and factory reset. Don't do the factory reset in android, do it in recovery. I'm guessing you got a corrupt download of superwipe, I would redownload it and try it again if I were you.
Try using this one.

Instead of saving it to my SD card and then using a file explorer to move the files like I usually do, I tried to use droid explorer and do it from my PC. Now my phone won't get past the motorola logo when I start the phone. I'm not really sure what to do, can someone help me?

I doubt that adding some ringtones to your /system/media folder from your PC would result in a non-boot condition. Sounds like you may have messed up some system files when you were doing what you were doing. Are you sure you did not inadvertently move/delete/alter any other files?
Do you have an unlocked bootloader?
I figured that was what I did... I dont have an unlocked bootloader. Should I?

turn on your smartphone, and when apear logo press volume up, go into recovery CWM and make a factory reset, or ... get one rom and put in your sd card and make a factory reset and wipe cash, dalvik and flash new rom, and try to boot ....

I have a similar problem and I know I am not bricked but can't currently get out of my jam. This is the process I used so far:
I unlocked bootloaders and rooted with an automatic script program
I installed superuser and CWM from the market
I placed the cm-7.2.0-olympus and gapps .zip files in my root of internal sd
I wiped with moto-fastboot followed by wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and Dalvik
Then I installed the CM7.2 and Gapps zip files from the sd - and now I'm stuck at the M boot screen with Unlocked at the top.
I can boot into recovery and at the top of the recovery screen it reads Atrix 4G Recovery v4.0.0.2 goapk.com so I am thinking that the script I used initially installed a different recovery program and I am not actually using CWM. Also when I get into fastboot mode it says my battery is too low to flash and I don't have an indication that the battery is accepting a charge when it is plugged in...
I can get into recovery but even if I wipe and reinstall the zip I can't get past the boot loop - any suggestions?

Flash the latest sbf for your phone. I've done several with no problems. Yes, you do lose the unlocked bootloader though.
This will return you to stock. I used the same files.
You can avoid bricking your device by not flashing any over-the-air updates to Android 2.3.4. Instead, try flashing the 2.3.4 zip over here. Or, flash the pure stock images from here.

I downloaded the zip file and was able to open up FlashImage and flash the zip file (the software found the correct file after indexing the .zip file). I rebooted the phone and held down volume down to get to the bootloader screen.
The only options I have are:
Fastboot

I have tried Fastboot, recovery, and factory rest but all just restart the phone. When I try to restart the phone, it cycles through the HTC loading screens and then reboots again.

Relock and run an RUU from the fastboot menu
If you use flash image you don't need to hold anything it has the option to boot recovery, it is only for the kernel, from there you boot to recovery and flash the rom and that should be it
The phone wont boot, so flash image GUI is useless. Exactly why I suggest people dont use it
The op never stated whether they actually flashed the ROM, for some reason they booted to the boot loader manually?
The way I read it the phone will only boot to the bootloader

I believe you are right. I tried to follow this step but could not verify it was done correctly.
The ROM is flashed seperately from the kernel, as soon as flash img is done it gives the option to reboot directly into the recovery, this is because the ROM is flashed next. Since you are going from sense to aosp you need to clear dalvik, cache, factory reset, then system wipe and then install and select your rom. Anytime you install a different ROM sense or aosp, you need to wipe the phone. Take a look at my guide, I go over the various issues that could happen and do my beat to explain why. I also list a ton of info in android in general
