Hi please please help,i have another pending issue but i doubt anyone will help. This issue is very straightforwards please help.
I am in android recovery mode. I select "apply update from sdcard"
I have on my sd card a backup i made from titanium backup app.
Clearly the two arnt compatible im guessing i need a .zip file. PLEASE where can i find a backup file to put on my sd card for gingerbread 2.3.4
I have mb860 (moto atrix 4g)
I'm not sure if I'm following you, are just trying to restore apps that were backed up in titanium? Or a full ROM? Do you have stock or a custom recovery? Did you make an update.zip in titanium or just backup the apps?

Sorry for not making any sense, ill post my problem in the most logical way i can in the atrix4g forum. But basically i moved an app called system tuner out lf my /system folder and this instantaneously made my phone not work and go to a battery screen. I made a backup but kept the .zip on the phone and moved the app user data to my pc. Basically i messed up. I thought i could use the sd card to restore all the information that i think was deleted but i guess im wrong... I need to use a sbf file or adb mode.
Every single file on xda which contains the sbf file i need is a broken link and the last three were virus's (granted the linker said he had no liability)
Im just desperate for a working phone..... I can load it up and it goes to a battery charging screen... Or i can select from modes like fastboot and abd...
I have everything installed just like back when i programmed... The sdk adb everything... But no working files AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO GET INTO ADB MODE TO LAUNCH A SHELL!!!!!!
Well if you have no custom recovery (which it sounds like) then use fastboot to flash a new recovery (so long as your bootloader allows. Then within this new recovery you should have adb access and also the ability to just flash a new ROM.

Apparently my bootloader is locked and i cant flash cwm to the recovery partition.. So i try to unlock bl with two seperate methods and still i get
(bootloader) EOM unlock not implementable.
I think its wrong files like the sbf thing wrong files? Idk... If u can help ill love you... I also have rsd lite.. I have everything lol just need a way to get into abd (unlock bl) or sbf..
Unfortunately I know little about Motorola phones as I've never owned one and haven't read to deeply about them, the best I can do is ask in your phone forum what the appropriate steps are
I assume if you read the stickied thread there should be something to help you along
Best of luck, and if you can't find what you need ask again and I'll dig into it

I tried to install this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033653) on my friends Optimus T and something went wrong. I followed the instructions to the letter and after the format of the /system i couldn't actually flash the ROM because everything got deleted so i tried to restore the NANDROID that i had made and i couldn't because there was nothing there and now it just hangs at the boot up screen! PLEASE help me get this fixed
Well... may seem a bit obvious have you tried flashing a different rom from recovery yet? If you get really desperate I can supply you with the kdz file for titanium optimus 509.
Or u cud start a fresh wipe your sd card and store on of your fav roms on it and then flash it with recovery..Start afresh..If u can boot into recovery then no worries

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354 Try this rom. it installed just fine on my Optimus T titanium. I used clockwork recovery to do so. assuming you can get to recovery which from turned off hold volume down+home then power. If you can;t get to recovery you will probably have to use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865479 however you would have to do it from emergency mode instead
Only two options:
1. If you can access the Recovery menu, then clear everything and flash a ROM again.
2. If you cannot, just flashed an official fimware back with kdz (use the links provided in the posts above). Then start all over again.
Simple

I think the issue your having is that adding the ext partion formats the sd card. Thus, the zip you are trying to flash is no longer there and you nandroid was deleted also. Boot back into recovery and select the usb mount option, transfer the zip you want to flash and then flash it. Simples
Ciaox simply missed the line out where is should say copy *************.zip to sd card before the bit about flashing it. I think this time following the instructions to closely caused this lol Man up
thanks mates, got it working with a a CM7 port (actually I had to go through 3 because two didn't have the Market for some reason
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Glad you got this resolved. But for future ease of flashing download a flashable zip containing the market. such as the one listed in the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072252

Hi guys!
Sorry if this already has posted but i couldnt find.
We just love to flash, update roms but sometimes we forget the essential and wanna go back.
So my question is: is there a way to backup and save from a original stock Atrix, things like pds, kernel, webtop, do a whole full backup of everything?
You mean like a Nandroid backup?...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
if you do a nandroid backup from cwm or rom manager it will back up everything on your current rom.
Thanks a lot for your attentio guys!
Doing these backup, even system unique files like pds, kernel, webtop, boot?
yes, its kinda like a ghost backup for a pc. it takes an image more or less.

It makes an image of your current phone setup that you can come back to like if you get stuck, or if you want to come back from another ROM...

Thanks a lot guys! But to use CWM or Rom manager i will have to unlock my boot, so i was wondering if there is a way to do this keeping Atrix untouchable and with this backup?

I think nandroid backup requires root and if you want to flash another rom you'll have to unlock the phone.

Hum, thanks but to flash another rom i dont need to. I can enter in RSD and flash it without doind anything. Only if i had to flash in fastboot prompt i will need to.
Im a new owner of the Note 2 and a new member to XDA. I have been doing a lot of reading over the last couple days regarding unlocking the bootloader, flashing CWM and rooting my phone. My question is, is there a certain order that this has to be done in. For example, the bootloader then the recovery or does it not matter

1.Flash revision3 via odin following the guide in its thread. (This will give you root)
2.Follow the bootloader unlock process in adam's guide from its thread (this will unlock your bootloader and unless hes changed it flash twrp a custom rocovery.)
Now you need to reboot into recovery and make a back up. To do this you need to go into recovery (twrp or clockwork mod). You can get to recovery by powering off the phone and holding volume-up+home+power. Now go to backup and back up. If you have an external sd I would recommend selecting the option to backup to it.
After that select a rom you want. If you want stock rooted you dont have to flash anything. Look in your app drawer if you see an app called supersu or super user you're rooted. If you want another rom follow these steps to flash it.
1. Read rom thread for known bugs so you know what youre getting into.
2. Download rom. DO NOT UNZIP.
3. Check md5 sum.
4. Move to external or internal sd where you can find it.
5. Boot into recovery.
6. Select install.
7 navigate to rom file.
8. Swipe to install. If it has aroma follow instructions if not wait for it to do its thing

It seems like CWM is the preferred recovery among most flashers and ROM developers. But I could be mistaken. Somewhere on xda or elsewhere I read a comparison of the 2.
Personal preference I used to use cwm but once I made the switch to twrp I did not look back. However some roms like cm10 say you must use cwm.
I used cwn on my nexus and twrp on my note 2. It seems if its touchwiz they recommend twrp if its aosp sourced they recommened cwm

Sorry if this was addressed elsewhere, but I did try to seek it out first. I am stock rooted (Exynos abuse method) and I have added in the all apps in multiscreen modification. Two questions:
1. From what I can tell, I do not need to flash revision3 first (since I am stock VRALJB rooted), just run the casual exploit and then flash suckitverizon, correct?
2. Does the add apps to multiview mod conflict in any way with unlocking the bootloader or flashing a new ROM?
I think I know the answer to both (yes and no respectively), but I like to measure twice and cut once. Thanks
Im not exactly sure. But in all honesty it would probably just be best to odin flash to stock and start over.

1. just did everything yesterday. i rooted with the exynos exploit but couldn't get odin to flash suck it verizon, so i rooted with casual, unlocked the bootloader with odin, which also installed twrp. i then hooked it up to my computer, copied clean rom to the sd card, and installed. no need to install revision if you don't want to. go straight to beans/cm10/PA/cleanrom or whatever else you want.
summary - root, unlock bootloader, install whatever rom you want. no need to install roms then overwrite those roms
2. if the rom is TW based, you can make any app multiview. beans and cleanrom come with the modification there already afaik. cm1-/aosp roms don't have it, as it's part of touchwiz
Followed the advice to flash back to bone stock, then unlocked the bootloader and flashed cleanrom. Piece of cake as advertised. Only hiccup was getting Odin to recognize my phone...had to start it a second time, but that was it. Thanks for the help.
hey guys im trying to unlock my bootloader as we speak and i cant get it to work it says my adb server is out of date. killing...

Hallo,
My HTC Wildfire (Buzz), i made it S-OFF , Rooted it (i guess) and succeessfully changed its rom to MIUI 2.3.7 . Before changing the rom i backed up the stock rom .The problem comes to whenever i boot to recovery and reach to a point where i am to select if i want to install zip file from sd cards and other selection, i am not able to install or access anything from sd card. Even when i tried to restore the backup using Rom Manager it fails me guys !
> I really want to restore the back up or install another very stable rom compatible with my HTC Wildfire
> When i hold vol- and power buttons and try to go to recovery, the phone hangs at the Revolutionary logo !
THE MIUI is slow and can't withstand stress as every time i try to do something fast it displays error messages. Pleasse help !!!
Hey yunus maybe u should download the stock rom for ur device from the net as the backup you created may have issues. Oh yeah u can flash the downloaded rom via odin.
Good luck and a happy new year and happy flashing.

ODIN is for Samsung phones. You need to run an official HTC RUU (ROM Update Utility) to restore HTC phones to stock.
@OP -
Download the RUU exe from the link below, connect your phone to computer via USB and run it as administrator. Your phone will be completely erased and restored to stock. I;m not sure if SD card will erased too, so make a backup of all its contents to be safe.
http://htcruu.com/securekey.php?fil...3.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe
If you're from India, then run this instead -
http://htcruu.com/securekey.php?fil...45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_142213_signed.exe
You can find a list of more RUUs for your phone, for other regions and carriers at http://htcruu.com/?dir=Buzz
You've certainly messed something up, and your SD card might be corrupted too, so if you're not very knowledgeable about what you're doing, you're better off restoring to stock and starting over rather than trying a bunch of different fixes and messing up your phone more.
I'm not necessarily new to rooting I've been doing it for a year or so on my old phone. But after upgrading I decided not to root for a while. Now I think I'm ready to root and get a custom rom on. I'm not used to the whole unlocking bootloader and then a different way of rooting from my old phone. Any sort of guide with links would be greatly appreciated!

just thought i'd add something
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?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
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.
OK now I'm coming from a Samsung device so it was a lot harder than this. My question is if I have to wipe data before flashing a rom or a recovery? I would also like to know what the adb is.

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269
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?

ok you can install the TWRP recovery and sideload the rom
you can google the info about how to do it, i dont know much about sideload
here is the TWRP recovery, flash it the same way as the other

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?
