Ok, so i found an SBF and unlock went through successfully. I have installed a recovery and it wont boot into it. Not sure why. suggestions? ill update if i figure it out.
Which recovery? How did you install it? fastboot? If you fastboot it did you get a success message in your cmd prompt? Did you check the md5sum? loads of questions, need more info to help. playing tag between the two threads.lol. After you've checked the md5sum (if applicable) on your recovery, rename the recovery to "recovery.img" then 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' romracers cwm can be found here at samcripps atrix reboot project, you've probably already found the clockworkmod site, TWRP is also a good recovery as well.
Try installing TWRP Recovery. Just Google TWRP and then go to their homepage, then write in Atrix 4G and then download the .img, after you have done that put it in a directory with fastboot (and rename it to TWRP.img) and then write in
fastboot erase recoery
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img

Everytime I try to it just reboots the phone. Im currently using cwm and have tried flashing the other recovery renamed as PH98IMG.zip and it will not overwrite it. Any help would be appreciated. I've also tried fastboot, guess I wasn't typing in the right command

fastboot command to flash a recovery. type "fastboot devices" to make sure your computer is seeing your phone in fastboot.
"Fastboot flash recovery nameoftherecovery.img" You will need to unzip the file and pull the actual image file out, and put it in the same folder your fastboot file is in.
I did that. I typed fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and it doesn't take it
I want to flash the amon recovery on top of the cwm
The recovery image is named... recovery.img
What else can I do to get my phone into recovery ?
Have you tried "abd reboot recovery"?

in fastboot type "fastboot boot recovery.img" then it will boot straight into the recovery image that you want to load. It isn't permanent, but it can get you a working phone in the mean time

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161968
but nothing happened.
i m still running the stock rom.
I found these instructions but couldnt understand them
Code:
- Extract boot.img from zip and put into your folden when you have fastboot.
- Put rom into sd
- Full wipe from recovery
- Flash rom
- Flash boot.img with an erase cache before and after boot flash
can anyone help me plz
thanx in advance
The easiest method available is to flash 4EXT recovery and turn on smartflash in options. this way you wont need to flash boot.img every time you install a rom.
If you still want to know what that guy was trying to say then read on.
during unlocking you must have used adb.exe and fastboot.exe files. you need to extract boot.img file from your ROM zip and put it in the folder where adb and fastboot files are located.
after that open cmd and navigate to that folder. then connect your phone in fastboot mode (turn off phone and hold power+vol down to boot into bootloader and select fastboot from menu)
the phone should now show "FASTBOOT USB". now enter this command in cmd without the inverted commas: "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
it should something like sending and write OK in cmd
then reboot phone.
P.S. that rom is very similar to stock rom with little visual differences. check in settings>about phone>software number.. if it shows skydragon3D then your rom flashed correctly
thank you so much man
hello, I can't reboot into recovery. I am on th3bills kernel v 2.6.32.59 and aokp 4.1.2. I attempted to install th3bill's recovery and now when I try to boot into recovery the phone stops at the m logo. If I remove the battery the phone boots fine. I can get into fastboot, however i can't flash any recovery it just states no problem. I am having issues with my rom and would like to reflash. I have searched XDA and the web for solutions and have found helpful tips but none have worked. Thanks, Joe
GO here Start from reading "Flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery". But download fastboot first. The link is given on the post. Extract it to C://
Then navigate it through command prompt. (I showed on the post with screenshot)
Then do the two command.
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I included Romracer's recovery in the fastboot package. But TWRP recovery is better than that. You may try that also. (Just download TWRP recovery & rename it to recovery.img & replace it on C://fastboot)
Hello guys.
I have been in the android world for a while, but just got this device.
I had tried to install twrp with no success. I already have bootloader unlocked by me with no issues, following a tutorial here. When I flash twrp it shows success but when I try to go there ñ, it just goes to miui recovery. When I boot directly from fastboot with:
Fastboot boot twrp.img
It goes there with no issues but of course, data is encrypted. So I want to install it in order to format my data and be able to root. Any ideas?
I researched and found that one way is to install a dev rom, but I really want to remain on stable one.
Thoughts?

Put a copy of twrp.img in your sdcard.
Put other copy of twrp.img in adb folder of your pc.
Type from a cmd with admin rights with device in fastboot mode connected to pc fastboot boot twrp.img and when you reboot to twrp slide allowing modifications and then flash your twrp.img through same twrp recovery
The first command will do that device can boot to twrp but it´ll not flash it in recovery partition.
The second action will flash it permanently onto your device.
Probably you´ll need to format data in order to can reboot to system again.

Thanks! I solved it after taking a look for a while. I do not have an sdcard, so I flashed it and then fastboot booted it, then I reboot recovery to make sure it was flashed and then formatted data. I worked flawlessly!
Why i can't flash TWRP even thought I unlock bootloader
When i boot into recovery it's say "No such file in directory"
I used to try rename recovery.img to twrp.img and run command on powershell
I was successfully to flash TWRP when i rename recovery to twrp. When i flash it's has error need password and i fix it by wide data
When i go to recovery mode, it's go to original recovery and i can't flash again
