Well, I'm new to installing stuff on this device, and I need a bit of help when it comes to this. Currently, I'm unlocked and rooted. I would like to get this guy running a new kernel and eventually a whole new ROM.
I want to get more battery out of it. Honestly, its been pretty solid so far, but I just want to get more.
So what do I need to do in order to install a new kernel? I just want to make sure I'm following whatever steps correctly. Also, I'm assuming there is a stock kernel I can go back to, yes?
Dsb's custom kernel:

You can either use the instructions in the op or use flash image GUI (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086361)

Once your rooted
On your computer make sure you have HTC drivers installed
Then download the boot.img of the kernel onto your computer
Plug you phone and on your phone go to Setting> Developer Options > Turn On Usb Debugging
Then open up adb and type "Adb Reboot Bootloader"
Then type "Fast Boot Flash Boot [Where you put the boot.img]
Now go into recovery and flash the modules

Those sound extremely easy enough. I flashed the boot.img, but I misunderstood the instructions on the Flash Image GUI and I didn't have the modules.zip extracted so I had to boot the phone to unzip the file then install it.
Do you always have to do this with the DNA or if we get S-Off, will it be as simple as a Nexus device where it's just a zip you flash?

That's what I figured. Question about something else!
How is everyone controlling their volts and governors and such? I know there are some apps out there, but I can't remember their names. Also, I know you can via terminal, but k forget how to do that, too.

I did the exact same thing and it wouldn't boot to homescreen after that, I tried to sideload the .zip and eventually did a factory reset and tried again. Thank heaven it worked though

You could use system tuner. I use the setting in the app "Pimp my rom" though. Very convenient.

Hey guys,
I need some help with this CWM. It is my first time using this phone.
Ok, I will go through all the things I have down so far.
I got the phone yesterday from AT&T (America) and immediately updated OTA to official firmware 4.5.91.
I then downloaded pudding for AT&T/android 2.3.4, downloaded the latest windows 7 drivers, and the latest RSD lite 5.3.1.
I used RSD to flash pudding onto the phone, but did not enable USB debugging, or the other option to allow non-android/certified installations (located at setting, applications...I think)
That resulted in a no OS found, error 1x000 on the phone, and an error in RSD. RSD said something around the likes of: error - could not switch...something the phone then gave me a list of options and went into fastboot protocol mode.
I thought to myself: "darn, I bricked my phone", but I saw that it went into fastboot mode. I did the fastboot cmd's from my computer to unlock the phone, which seemed successful (unlock on the top left corner), but after I did fastboot reboot, the phone was stuck in the dual core screen, with unlock on top left still.
I had to pull out the battery, but the phone then booted up normally.
Thinking that everything is now fine, and still forgetting to enable those setting in the phone, I booted the phone in fastboot protocol mode and installed ROMracers CWM.
However, I didn't use the second command to delete CWM before installing romracers. It installed fine though, from what I saw.
So I then try to go into the CWM by holding the power button and volume down, then scrolling down to recovery and hitting volume up.
Then the android guy and the triangle warning sign shows up. Great.
What did I do wrong? Everything seems to have worked so far. I am using the latest versions of everything.
I am following a tutorial video on youtube (two weeks old), and I am at work right now so I have not gotten to the part where he gets the same error on his demonstration phone; however, i saw that the guy downloaded a file explorer that can do a specific thing that other programs cannot, but it costs money. I didn't see any more.
What should I do?
Download and install a root file manager, and delete recovery-sh from /system/etc, then try again

If you tap the bottom right corner of the screen you will get stock android recovery options.
If you flash the cwm of your choice and immediately boot into recovery after you flash it you should be able to get into ur custom recovery until you fully try to reboot again. I think..... its been a while since I was in that boat.
You soft bricked it, that happens if you unlock the bl after 2.3.4 is on the phone. Its common
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Thanks guys.
What program should I use to delete that file? Preferably a free one...why doesn't everyone else have to get an app to successfully install CWM?????
Also can I just install this even though my phone is already unlocked with pudding on it?

You can use es file explorer and use the root option in the preferences,

I went through the same thing you did up until the ROM choice. Even the pulling of the battery. So I would say that is normal and you should not think the problem is there.
My Atrix came with the 2.3.4 update already installed and I did the pudding bit with RDS (which didn't give me root, I had to use the adb method). I flashed the Ninja Speed ROM (very happy with it) and I didn't have any problems.
Did you check with known issues of your ROM? Some require specific recovery apps.

Do you mean my CWM choice?
Most of the guides say that you should install CWM before installing ROMs.
They also say that the Rom's themselves root the device.
I do not know what to do...

Did you successfully root your device? If you did just download a terminal app and delete it through the command line. If you don't know how to do that we can help.

Sorry I saw you didn't root it. Do you have the Motorola RSD lite program for your computer? I would go into the firmware super thread and use RSD lite to get your phone back to square 1.
I used plain old CWM and I am more than happy sticking with mainstream recovery options.

Do not use rsd to go back to square one!!!!
Your atrix has the retail ota on it, you WILL HARDBRICK if you flash using rsd. All you can do on 2.3.4 with rsd is flash pudding. Ifyour unlocked already, delete rsd!

This should help you get back to romracer's recovery.
1) Download romracer's recovery for your AT&T phone from his recovery thread in the development section. Make sure you download the fastboot version, not the .zip version.
2) Connect your phone to your computer, and put it into fastboot
3) Open up a command prompt on your windows computer, and issue the following commmand:
fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img***
***you should replace recovery.img with whatever the recovery file you downloaded is called
4) Then boot into recovery and it should be the recovery that you chose in the first step. Hope this helps. If it does, make sure to thank joeavery2, as it is part of his complete wipe guide!
So basically what happened is I was navigating through the menu on Neo's CM9 Build on his site and I carelessly wandered into Mobile networks and lost 4G. No surprises there I remember seeing posts that say never to go into mobile Networks for this reason. However for some reason I cannot flash back to a sense Rom, I get stuck at the boot animation. I have even tried to flash back to Neo's Adrenaline 2.0 and then restore via nandroid and I have the same problem. I am s-on and my phone got the OTA update, no other software other then the Adreno drivers was installed or flashed by me. If anyone can offer any help it will be greatly appreciated
From what I understand, you need to flash the kernel separately. Especially if you're s-on.

Thank you! I didn't even think about that since when I first flashed 2.0 I was able to flash completely from recovery.
Yea it's a pain in the ass when switching from Sense to AOSP ROMs, simply for this fact I suggest that you S-Off because it makes flashing ROMs and screw ups like this so much easier!
Yeah you need to S-off. I can flip roms all day long. Been there done that with ASOP builds a few times since it is very close to tether menu.

Ok, so you're flashing a ROM and S-ON,
1. Open up the zip folder of the ROM you wanna flash
2. You will see the "boot.img" file
3. Drag and drop that boot.img file to the same folder on your desktop where your Android SDK tools are located. (you said you're familiar with fastboot flashing, so I presume you have fastboot, adb somewhere already on your computer).
4. In recovery, flash the ROM
5. After the ROM is flashing, select "Developer Menu" then "Reboot to Bootloader"
6. Open up a terminal window and change directory to the path where your Android tools and the newly extracted boot.img is located.
7. Issue the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (no quotations). Once it's completed successfully, reboot the phone

From what I've gathered (I very well could be wrong) AOKP is still being worked on for the Rezound so some devices for some reason lose 4G even when they should be receiving it, and some lose all data. It's still being developed By our awesome devs!

only thing i see for those roms is not to go into setting's for 4g or it will disconnect or the dialing part.
I am S-ON, unlocked, and rooted. I made a backup in TWRP, and flashed the latest lenoob's CM9, then flashed gapps. Upon reboot, it hangs at the white HTC screen. So i read a little and see that i need to extract the boot.img from lenoob's image, and zip it on its own as PH98IMG.zip and place it on the root of the sd card. Great, so i did that, booted into HBOOT, it saw the PH98IMG.zip, said parsing, then never gave me an option to push UP to flash or reboot. Just puts me at the HBOOT menu.
Am i missing a step here?
Aha- i bet its because I'm still unlocked. fffffff i'm at work and can't relock :-/
I could be wrong because I'm still new, but being unlocked shouldn't have anything to do with it, I think you need to be unlocked to flash Roms. I don't have experience with TWRP but if your s-on you could also use fast boot to flash the boot.Img after flashing the rom itself
Sent from my Adrenalized Rezound
Extract the boot.img place it where you have adb on you computer then flash Rom gapps boot back to bootloader and use command fastboot flash boot boot.img, you have to be unlocked to flash roms if s-on.

I could have sworn i read somewhere that i can flash stuff in TWRP, but not the boot image. Thought the boot image had to be flashed in HBOOT and for HBOOT to actually flash the image, the phone needs to be locked or relocked. I'm new too so i could have lots of bad information :fingers-crossed:
Also don't forget to wipe first.

you need s-off because verizon or htc stopped allowing the dna to unlock its bootloader from their htcdev site
once s-off you can flash any rom, kernel or recovery
you do not need to unlock your bootloader
the link i found was dead so here is cwm touch recovery that i use http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=17561816589933340240
I think every rom available is already rooted so thats taken care of
i just read some of the guides that are up and they are outdated, so ask anythting you need here and ill help
OK sorry about that I meant s-off. So I do moonshine flash cwm and then do I have to install super user?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
nope all the roms are pre rooted with SU or superSU
but in case im wrong and you find a rom without root you can flash SU or superSU from recovery
hit "thanks" plx
simplified steps are:
1. s-off
2. flash recovery through adb
3. put the rom or rom and kernel you want on the phone and flash it in the recovery
thats it. its a bit simpler than most phones i think, especially samsungs as i just found out.
Step 1. S-off via Moonshine.
Step 2. Flash a recovery. I think the absolute easiest way is using this toolkit. This toolkit couldn't get any easier to use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219175
Step 3. Flash whatever ROM you choose. I personally love ViperDNA.
Does moonshining wipe your data?

Nope... but sometimes the moonshine process will have problems that are typically resolved by doing a factory wipe, in order to sucessfully do the process.

once you have the recovery installed you can choose "factory reset/wipe data" from the cwm menu along with wipe cache, also dalvik cache in the advanced menu in cwm, i do this before i flash any rom
ADB is how you flash a recovery and some kernels
but you need this driver installed http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/?section=Requirement
you also need that driver installed for moonshine to work but after you install it you need to remove the htc sync manager part of it

here is a small adb and fastboot setup
once installed you can put the cwm recovery in the same folder as adb open a cmd window and from the directory that has adb and the cwm you type
"adb reboot bootloader" no quotes
then
"fastboot flash boot clockwork-touch,img"
now you have recovery
I realize these instructions assume some levels of knowledge so if you need more details ask
I have done all you said and now have a rooted dna! the only problem is every time I select reboot from the cwm it just reboots to the recovery and not the actual phone? Any Idea of whats going on here?
ah it sounds like you wiped your rom before you transferred a new one to your phone
did you do a backup of your stock rom?
this recovery isnt perfect i dont think you can mount the sd card in it to transfer files
if you have no backup and no rom package on your phone and you wiped your stock installed rom then ive actually never come into this situation
im sure it can be resolved easily, let me test some stuff on my phone ill get back to you in a bit.
in the meantime does anyone else have any suggestion for this?
maybe team win recovery can mount sd?

It seems as if I can sideload from cwm as well. And how could I install the twrp recovery if I cant boot into the desktop
I would like to either install a sense 5 rom like you suggested or cyanogen mod. Im not so sure how to flash the twrp recovery if im only in the cwm recovery.
you can hold power and vol down, once it reboots after about 10 sec you let go of power and keep holding vol down till you see the bootloader screen, you can flash the recovery using adb like you did to get cwm on
ok never mind I figured out how to get the twrp flashed. now I will try to sideload
I would like to skype but I didnt build my pc with a camcorder. I can still do sound though, tell me if your okay with that. Ok now when I try to sideload it tells me that it cant find the device? not sure what that is.
i was just going to skype for chatting with text so its not like post and wait and refresh, takes forever
in the recovery there is a setting you activate to sideload you are using that right?
Does anyone have a quick write up of how to do this? I have an HTC one and I have been running the Insert Coin roms, but now the new roms require TWRP and I dont want to end up with a bricked phone.

Easiest way is to install GooManager > Grant SuperUser access > Menu > Install OpenRecovery Script > Confirm > Wait for it to download & finish.

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 > It's explained here, along with the other methods. Just click on the Get TWRP for Your Device box at the top right and put in HTC One, then make sure to pick the right one. The recoveries are different between manufacturers and the M7/M8, obviously.
Pretty hard to brick install recovery on these things.
I would suggest just using fastboot, fastest and safest method
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

That's my preferred way to do it too, but TWRP themselves have the app install as their preferred way on their site.
So does clockwork and 4ext but I prefer fastboot. Choice is for the user I guess

Indeed. Another reason to suggest the app as it is more friendly to the timid ones.
It really does pay to get familiar with both fastboot commands and adb though, if you plan to mod your phone. At least to make sure that the drivers are loaded in worst case scenarios.
As far as I understand it, CWM or TWRP run in temporary partitions and in the RAM, much like boot tools on a PC such as Pmagic.
I started off with CWM via Odin on the PC and have since managed everything from there. I tried out TWRP by using a flashable zip in CWM, rebooted the usual way via the gui, tried out TWRP, then flashed CWM back and everything is fine.
It seems to me there is no danger and you just flash it the way you would a custom firmware. Plus you can back up and restore your recovery using either CWM or TWRP. In my short experience with it so far, you don't need an app, just flash and be happy. But always remember to have a backup or the original zip in case you wish to go back.
And if somehow you do mess something up (I guess it happens sometimes), make sure you have the right md5 to reflash in Odin. Simple. Just never delete anything you could need again.
