International Unlocked Atrix - Failed to install CWM recovery - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have an unlocked Atrix, and I have successfully performed the following:
1. Rooted the device using SuperOneClick v.2.3.3
2. Installed ROM Manager and installed CWM Recovery
However, I am unable to get into CWM Recovery. I get the following errors, when I try to boot to recovery using the ROM manager:
Code:
Failed to boot 2
Starting RSD mode
I have also attempted to installed the recovery using fastboot method, but also failed to do so. Here are the error messages:
Code:
C:\TEMP\AtrixRecovery>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.8-olympus.img
sending 'recovery' (3992 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.233s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: (00180002))
finished. total time: 0.297s
I have also lost the Android Recovery as I am unable to have the device respond to me after I tap the bottom right corner after going to Android Recovery. So I cannot perform a hard reset too.
Any advise to help me move along? I would like to install a custom ROM, and if that is not possible I would like to at least return to the stock ROM.
Thanks!

How is rooting relevant?
It seems you forgot to unlock the BL.

May be I misunderstood.
Help me understand, I searched for what is the difference between locked and unlocked. My understanding is as long as I can use SIM card from different carrier, I have an unlocked phone, and unlocking is not necessary. Is this wrong?
Assuming I am wrong can you advise how to unlock the BL?
Thanks.

You are very wrong. Rooting has nothing to do with BL unlock, just as BL unlock has nothing to do with SIM unlock.
Please follow the unlock/flash procedures PRECISELY.

[Q] TWRP won't install on rooted device

I have xperia s (st25a) phone with android 4.0.4.
I already have rooted it (SU installed) and bootloader unlocked. Fastboot reports the correct version "5".
However, when I try to install TWRP, it gives the following error:
>fastboot.exe flash boot stock-6.1.A.0.452-twrp-2.4.0.0.elf
sending 'boot' (8124 KB)...
FAILED (remote: The Device must be rooted first)
Why does TWRP think it's not rooted? I have setup SU to grant every root request too!
Another issue - when I try to enter recovery with stock image, my phone gets stuck on boot with Sony logo and I have to remove battery to shut it down. Any ideas why wouldn't stock recovery work?
Thanks much for your help!
Help!
Any one has any ideas to try?

[Q] Phone unlocked but Fastboot will not flash recovery

Hello all, I recently started the process of rooting my HTC One X+ and it all went smoothly until it came time to flash a recovery.
I used Windroid Universal toolkit to get started, thinking it would make things easier (not that I haven't rooted a phone before).
I unlocked the bootloader just fine, in the bootloader it gives "*unlocked*".
Next, I tried flashing TWRP with the toolkit, it brings me to bootloader, but when going to HBOOT and hitting recovery, it just brings me back to bootloader. Hmm, weird. So I decide to do it manually, download latest TWRP for evitareul (2.8.5.0), reboot into fastboot.
Execute: fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.5.0-evitareul.img
and it gives me this:
"sending 'recovery' (8224 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.115s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Format partition SOS done
FAILED (remote: err = 0xa)
finished. total time: 1.153s"
I don't know whether it matters, but when going into HBOOT it pops up with some errors saying something along the lines of unable to access SD or something. It goes too fast to really write it down.
So I think maybe deleting cache would help, and to no avail. I look up online for the error code and nobody seems to have an answer for it. I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere on the forums, I looked for quite some time before posting a new thread. I'm not sure what is going wrong.
My end goal was to flash recovery, make a back up, then flash superSU but if I can't flash recovery then I'm not going to do anything else and risk a brick.
Does anyone know what's up with this error and how to fix it?
You're flashing a wrong recovery.

What recovery should I be flashing then? My device is Evitare_UL, and I am getting img files from

.
I have tried other versions to no avail.
Evitareul should only have 2.5 TWRP out....

Cant flash custom recovery

I am trying to flash twrp or any custom recovery image so that I could root my LGv10, I am running Android 6.0.
When I boot my phone into fastboot mode I dont get the fastboot options just the options to exit or restart. However I still can run commands through adb, I try running the command to flash the custom image and I keep getting this.
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (5158 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.160s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.185s
If I try to start up in recovery mode I get an android with a red error triangle, preventing me from rooting. Is there anyway I can fix this? any help will be appreciated as I've looked already and cannot seem to find a fix to this problem.
Hi, which model of the V10 do you own?
Please note that bootloader unlock and installation of a custom recovery is only officially supported on the T-Mobile Version of the V10 and the European V10 with the model number H960A. On the H960A you need to unlock your bootloader first. Otherwise flasing recovery fails.

Thanks for the reply!
My LGv10 is the T-Mobile version, model number LG-H901. I'm running Marshmallow 6.0, My bootloader is unlocked I'm still getting the same problem.
Not sure what to try anymore
Same exact issue I have. Don't know what else to do.
I was getting that yesterday, though I found another method that seems to have worked, only issue with that one is that whenever I try I flash a ROM, it fails with error 7.
https://dottech.org/198032/how-to-root-lg-v10-t-mobile-h901-on-android-6-0-marshmallow/
This was the method I used, though I didn't do it properly since I couldn't figure out what to do with the kdz file. But I do have TWRP recovery installed to my phone now.

Bootloader isn't unlocking even after OEM unlocking and USB Debugging is enabled

Everytime I type the command 'fastboot oem unlock', the screen says;
OKAY [ 0.002s]
finished. total time: 0.002s
but then when I want to flash a recovery it says;
target reported max download size of 1073741824 bytes
sending 'recovery' (15482 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.498s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot flash or erase)<<< Why does this happen? -_-
finished. total time: 0.501s
Anybody has a solution for this?
Have you tried just flashing stock recovery? Does it say that for everything you try and flash? A lot of people are trying these shortcuts to try and upgrade bootloader. Though most can work the safest bet is to flash original stock recovery and upgrade from there. You might be looking at going through the hard brick guide.
seems like you locked the bootloader while you are rooted...iam stack on same step too...

Fastboot oem unlock>fastboot reboot>doesn't ask about wiping
I've followed every tutorial they all say that after requesting oem unlock, you can verify the unlock was successful with fastboot oem devices-info> device tampered-false, device unlock-true, then fastboot reboot> system reboot, but it does NOT ask to wipe the data. Am I missing something?

Hi all,
Today I tried to root my LG G5 H830 but with an older method for Marshmallow(in the video i was watching the version wasn't even specified so I was unaware and I believed that the version of the phone did not really matter). I proceeded to follow this man's instructions @: "How to Root T-Mobile LG G5!" by "Max Lee" on Youtube(as a new user i cannot post links ) I unlocked my bootloader, got drivers and followed his instructions up onto an error on LGUP. Basically the error's purpose was to tell me that Nougat is not supported. So I had no choice but to reboot my phone and go through the android initializing setup.
After realizing the error of my ways I then found this post here via Google Search: "Install TWRP Recovery and Root LG G5 on Android Nougat | DroidViews" to install TWRP. Now my bootloader is unlocked and I have no root. The only problem here is that whenever I go into developer options and try to toggle 'OEM unlock' on it won't let me. The OEM unlock setting is grey-ed out and I am unable to toggle it!! This is what I need help with! Although my bootloader is very much infact unlocked I think some error occurred to where now I cant toggle my OEM unlock thus I am unable to flash a TWRP recovery via fastboot!
If I reboot into my bootloader and run the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" i get this:
Code:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (18668 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.419s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.435s
I even ignored the error and tried to boot into recovery manually and i just get the stock recovery.
Please help me guys
What about locking the bootloader again and unlocking it after that with the newer video you used?

Did you try to run the terminal/cmd as an administrator/root?
