EDIT :
....
[SOLVED]
I flashed SBF and started all over again with stock Gingerbread
....
Hi,
I successfully installed Cyanogenmod 10 on my Motorola Milestone 2 (Gingerbread update 2.3.4)
I installed Gapps for cyanogenmod 10 also worked well. Booted fine...
By accident in droid 2 bootstapper which is old clockworkmod recovery that isn't compatible with cyanogenmod 10 (i know that now), I clicked boot into recovery. I think CWM version is 2.5.0.7. Now phone just boot loops while trying to enter recovery.
So my question is, if there is anyway to change this from my computer by accessing /system/ where bootstrapper ordered system to boot from recovery.
Btw, I made Gingerbread backup with clockworkmod recovery. But I am not sure if I can use it from stock recovery.
I can access stock recovery, and bootloader.
Also I tried to cold boot (Power+Volume down) with no success.
Also is there way to reflesh CWM to newer version ?
Thanks in advance (noob).
Well I guess that I will need to SBF -.-
Damn.
I will be back from school in 6h, I will SBF it then if there is no answer here.

Hello,
I rooted my phone with z4root, and then installed SuperUser and ROM Manager v4.2.1.0.
I flashed ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 (selecting Dell Streak version). When I try to "reboot into Recovery" (using ROM Manager), the phone will reboot to the startup screen, not to ClockworkMod Recovery screen. If I try to boot to recovery by holding the VOL + and -, it will reboot to the stock recovery screen.
I bought this Streak USED, and I think that the previous owner had flashed a 2.2 version on it before the official upgrade. Is there a way to reset this back to the original settings? I would like to use StreakDroid 2.0.0. Am I missing a critical step in the procedure? Thank you all for your help in advance.

Stop using rom manager, qdltool the phone, then try again. Rom manager has caused a lot of problems for a great deal of people I know.

You don't need to go back to the original settings if you plan on using a custom ROM, it's a waste of time....
You should've read through more threads and found out ROM Manager doesn't play well with the 5" Streak. Anyway, you need to look for the thread under Streak Android Development called Streakmod Recovery and download that recovery image...
Secondly you need to look for the "fastboot" folder download and get that on your computer so you can flash the Streakmod recovery image.
Thirdly you need to download the baseband you wanna use.... I think most have gone from the 318 baseband that was engineered to work for StreakDroid 1.9 to the 351 baseband and it's working for StreakDroid 2.0 also. (if you are just getting started I would personally suggest using StreakDroid 1.9 until DJ Steve has worked the kinks out of 2.0)
Aside from all I just told you you should look this link up to make sure you get all the correct drivers installed:

This is also a very helpful BUT instead of using Clockwork Mod Recovery you will be using StreakMod:

Get this reading done and then start tinkering, it'll save you a lot of head ache.
I used to freak out when my Streak would take longer than normal to boot or all of a sudden reboot or something like that.... Now I've learned enough to where I'm not scared to tinker and do about anything to it because I've learned how to get it back

I don't think rom manager works with the streak
Hi all.
Hope everyone is having a good day!
Lets start: in simple words, it appears I've got two CWM installed. Know it sounds crazy but this is how it looks.
I run Villain 2.4.2 with nynmphetamine 2.1.3 kernel and "some" CWMs
Previously I had also Villain but on CFRoot kernel that preloads a custom CWM
What I've done:
I tried to install CM7 "easy" way so installed ROM manager and when it asked me if I wanted to flash CWM with the newest one I pressed "yes" and stupidly overwrote it. Then downloaded CM7 and when ROM manager attempted to boot into CWM android logo with an expression mark appeared and the phone hung. I rebooted into recovery and it showed me I run CWM 4.0.0.2 (i think that's the custom from CFroot) but the ROM manager says I've got 4.0.1.5.
When I tried to install CM7 via 4.0.0.2 the installation itself went fine but the phone stucked on Samsung logo during post-instalation booting.
Could you give me an advice on how to sort this out? I mean to get properly set up kernel and CWM after some serious messing up
I'd be grateful for any help.
Cheers.

I dont know if its possible to have 2 CWMs (maybe app version is different), but this happens with CM7. You should wipe dalvik, factory reset, flash cm7 and boot. Phone will get stuck, shut down long pressing power, reboot in cwm and reflash (no wipe needed). CM7 should boot now.
A few days ago I gave a root to my phone huawei U8180, the root came out perfect, but the next day I wanted to install Rom manager to download Cyanogen mod 7.2
When I gave him the option to click ClockworkMod flash recovery, the process completed successfully but on reboot I left in my operator logo, I leave like 15 minutes and nothing.
How do I retrieve my recovery? And how do I install CyanogenMod 7.2 in this phone? And is it possible to recover ClockworkMod recovery?
Heeeeeeeeeeelppppp!!!!!!!
Just flash CWM from Rom Manager again and then the ROM that you want. Stock Recovery is persistent and will overwrite the Custom one as long as you stay on a Stock ROM.
Hello ... I hava an atrix 4g with 2.3.6 OTA update and Locked Bootloader .. I've rooted the phone and installed bootstrap recovery successfully and made a backup for official rom ...
The problem is after Flashing Ginger Blur Rom my phone stuck at "Dual Core motorola Screen " and as i read, flashing Official SBF File may cause hardbrick .. So is there any solution to enter Boot Strap recovery Using Fastboot and make a restore or anything else Safe ?
Thanks for this Professional Forum ....
Get the correct Kernel zip file, to flash over CWM.
Thanks you ... but my problem is that I cant access CWM Recovery because i Have a Locked Boot loader and there is no way to launch bootstrap recovery and reboot to CWM
You can use Android Recovery (3e) by default, HOLD down volume and shows fastboot than, Recovery. Its a stock.
Ok ... but what should I do with stock recovery I tried to wipe but the device still stuck and also i cant flash any rom using the stock recovery
You can flash stock kernel another way. By Android Recovery, with CWM.

Read OP boot loader is locked. He can't install cwm without unlocking boot loader. And I don't think flashing a stock kernel will help bring back the phone to stock.

You should have not flashed ginger blur with the locked boot loader…ill search around and look for a solution. Are you OK with unlocking your boot loader?
<edit> flashing the sbf should fix the issue. Make sure you DON'T flash sbf lower than 2.3.6 otherwise you'll brick your phone.
Phone: Atrix 4g, 4.5.141 ATT, Andriod Version: 2.3.6 Kernal 2.6.32.9, Unlocked, rooted, in USA running ROM manager, titanium backup pro, and ROMRACER. I have run Moto stock with updates until now.
Lurked here forever, haven't had to post until now. Since Moto has end of serviced the atrix I figure I would try my hand at CM7 and maybe CM10 once the big boys get all the drivers working.
I am trying to flash CM7 and I keep getting stuck when re-booting at Red Moto emblem with the quad core screen. I have left it run for 30 minutes. The only way out is to pull battery re-boot to CWM and re-flash ATT.GB236_45141_PureStock_v21.5_xanadu_upndwn4par and start again. I can back up upndwn4's ROM while it's running with ROMRACER, but I can't restore it. I get a system error from CWM when I try to re-flash it.
Tried:
Reset/Wipe cache/wipe davilik every time
multiple different ROMs including Ba2tF, CM-10-20121010-unofficial-olympus, MROM all downloaded a couple of times
Tenfar's CWM instead of ROMRACER
Flashing off of internal
Flashing off of external
When I flash the CM7 or CM10 ROM it takes about a minute to flash before CWM says it's completed. But when I flash back to stock it takes 4-6 min. to flash.
Can't figure out why I can't flash anything other than the stock ROM. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Lol. Quad core screen? You have a powerful atrix!
Anyways, try a fastboot erase system and fastboot erase userdata before flashing CM7/10.

Yep my dual core is gonna become a quad if I can't figure this out.
Tried fastboot erase system and userdata, then restore/wipe/wipe install from SD (internal)...nope, sitting here looking at the same dang M
Thanks for the suggestion...got any more?
i have exactly the same problem with my atrix, i have 4.5.141 ATT en.US with android 2.3.6 NottachTrix 1.3.1 (this is the only custom rom that works after flash) i want to install cm9 or jb so baddd !! i hope someone know how to get this over :-/
Don't forget, you need to clear userdata (fastboot -w) AND cache (fastboot erase cache). You could also do that through recovery. I recommend TWRP 2.3.0.0. You can install it via Goo Manager or download the image from here and install it via fastboot (fastboot erase recovery and then fastboot flash recovery #filename#.img)
Haven't tried TWRP yet. Thanks for the suggestion. I will try that next.
Ok some sucess. Re-flashed based on the 5th post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525804&highlight=moto-fastboot+stock except for the OEM part because I am all ready unlocked.
Rooted again using auto unlock 4.2 instead of Pete's tools because the link was dead.
Updated recovery to touch recovery 5.8.1.8
Made another backup existing functioning stock ROM
Tried to flash a new Faux123 CM7 Kernel downloaded from ROM manager - fail when to boot loop re-booting constantly
Recovery to CWM and restored from backup WORKING NOW yippie! At least I can recover without having to re-flash stock each time
Downloaded MIUI 2.10.12 from ROM Manager and installed....error in downloaded Miui ROM (status 7) installation aborted.
Rebooting...will restore again if necessary...sigh more research ahead of me a fear.
I win
Big thanks to vladeco,. Since fastboot -w and fastboot erase worked so well getting ROM Manager to restore it tried them again before flashing CM7. Done and done.
Now I have backups of Stock, CM7 and am moving on to CM10 epinter's.
Flashed Epinter's CM10 - now running chrome, no isses heck even the video camcorder works!
Done and DONE!
