Can't install any ICS or JB roms - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've recently been looking into testing tablet mode with my lapdock as webtop has been meh. I can't install anything besides GB roms for some reason. I've performed full wipes with th3Bill's wipe, with paranoid android aroma installer, with fastboot, with cwm. Paranoid android and epinters 10 both just hang on the boot animation, I've tried literally dozens of times with each of them and nothing will work. Does anyone know what's happening here?

Strange. Maybe try re-downloading the roms....

How long did you wait at the boot animation? I've had up to 10 min wait for the first boot but usually it's only a few min longer than all reboots after.

Just installed Paranoid Android with a new download and nothing happened after 25 minutes on the boot screen.

That sounds familiar. I had the same thing happen to me while trying to flash the ICS leak way back when. Even though I did everything I was supposed to do, I still came up with the same problem and never found out what caused the problem

Its all good, we've all been forum noobs before.
Anyways, i'm assuming proper partitions were wiped prior to flashing the rom?

And a factory reset???????
I know its a drag, but you have to do it.
when i go to a new rom i do
1.factory reset
2.format /system
3.flash rom
4.flash gapps

One thing I didn't mention before is that I was actually able to install ICS based roms this summer, and now nothing. I used jokersax's cm9 and the leak installed for me too. I honestly can't think of any reason why this isn't working. I've tried with CWM and TWRP, Like I said, I've wiped my stuff every way I could think of. I'm stumped.

ok, how about format /cache and /osh and dalvik cache as well?
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app

So I finally got something working with a JB rom. I literally formatted everything I could and then install MIUI.US through rom manager and CWM. It installed but the launcher crashed every time it booted, ran th3Bill's options chooser and installed holo launcher, now I have a working JB!! Still working on paranoid but not feeling much hope for it. I'm currently just really happy to know I can install even just one JB rom.

The thing that sucks is newer people root and then d/l ROM Manager and as soon as they open it it says "hey flash this new broke a$$ recovery." So they do it cuz newer is better right?? Then we get 43 threads titled my ROM won't flash/backup won't restore/ yadda yadda yadda.

[Q] Anyone had luck installing Ubuntu?

Has anyone had luck installing Ubuntu on their I777?
I'm using the stock ROM that came from Rogers (canada telecom), and I've tried two different guides for installing ubuntu, neither of which have had any success.
The phone is rooted, but I'm assuming this is my stock ROM preventing me from doing things Rogers doesn't want me to do. I'm planning on switching to Cyanogen, but I figured I might as well just wait for stable cyanogen 9 instead of struggling to get 7.1 working.

Well its either that you flash a new radio, like KB5 or try toggling flight mode. That worked for me when I had ICS.

what is a "linario" build? Can you link me to one that worked for you?

I have never used a Vibrant before, I am doing this for a friend and I am kinda playing it by ear. This phone is so crazy, coming from a Galaxy Nexus this thing is so complicated, lol.
airplane mode thing didn't work, it cannot find network.
It is doing this with any 4.0+ ROM I try, and every time I flash a new ROM it keeps changing recoveries on me, I've gone thru like 5 recoveries...
Not only that but half the ROMs won't flash, and I cannot find a GB ROM to try out to see if I can get radio working again.
And how the hell do I get into download mode? vol dn + Power just bootloops the splash screen.
This phone is so insane.

Thanks a bunch man, here goes nothing.
I got into a bootloop of Doom in recovery, so ODINed stock 2.2, now I have to root/flash again :s will report back
sigh....
did an Odin stock flash, used the toolbox to root, then used the toolbox to "flash custom ROM" selected this ROM,
it starts to flash then reboots, then gets into a recovery mount error, and restart loop, so now my recovery is borked, looks like i have to Odin AGAIN.
Is there a better way to flash this ROM than the toolbox? I feel like it's using a bad version of CWM or something. Once i root it, what do I do?
edit: I'm going to Odin stock while I wait for reply
Usually when you get into a boot loop all you have to do is go back into recovery in reflash the rom. that should take care of the problem but if it doesent you can always just re wipe and reflash the rom again then reeboot recovery and flash again. don't forget to flash the gapps I c s version

I can't get recovery to load, it crashes and reboots. the actual recovery got borked.
maybe I'm missing something here?
From stock 2.2 I go to root -> flash custom blah, it flashes/loads cwm and I do the ROM.zip thing, then bam recovery is borked...

[Q] Kernel questions

I'm thinking of installing flapjaxxx kernel on my i717 running black star x, will this dump my current settings and contacts?
And what are the steps to do this (running cwm)?
It shouldn't. All I did was boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, then install from sd card.

I bricked my phone, I want to know why
Hi.
First of all I apologize for my not so good English.
The thing is that I hard bricked my note i717 by flashing a wrong kernel and now I know that JTAG is my only option, but I want to know if they are going to be able to bring my phone back to life, I don't live in the US that is the reason why I want to be 100% sure before I send it.
I was experiencing some problems with the USB not being recognized by any computer, after searching and reading a lot of post it came dawn to an incompatible kernel (something to do with the fast-charge option) so I´ve tried to flash a fast-charge compatible kernel but I downloaded it wrong and BAM!!! my phone is just a brick now (kinda useful to hold the door)
Full info:
I had the stock AT&T rom, then flashed some other roms without problems until this one:
cm-10.1-20130304-experimental-quincyatt-m2, that's where the USB problems began... after that one I had pa_quincatt-2.57-20120122-201611 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686320)
My question is:
Is it possible to connect the device(you know the JTAG method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0SX3iDuIZc ) now that it is hardbricked even if it wasn't recognized before bricking?
I appreciate the responses in advance. :laugh::laugh:

[Q] Smoothest JB custom rom?

For i717. I'm using the Rogers variant and currently I have HYFR installed as my custom ROM and it's 4.0.4. It's pretty decent but I want something that is very smooth in terms of UI and has an overclockable kernal and hopefully pretty bug-less.
Preferably one that can be installed using CWM because TWRP doesn't want to work for me.
and no LiquidSmooth please. Too many people complaining about bricking their phone after flashing it.

You can flash it with cwm twrp is recommended. If you want twrp go to their website download the quincyatt and flash it in cwm, then reboot recovery.
