All you need to do is flash a new rom.

Put the ROM file on your sd card
Boot into recovery and chose flash zip from sd card or something like that.

Can you post a link to a rom?
As a hypothetical, (i'll let you know if this actually happens), if i cant install the rom then am i totally screwed?

Im talking about the recovery mode that comes with a stock rom. So it has a pic of the android. I tried using a different recovery before but i cant get to it now so idk.

Oh, you mean Stock Recovery. Stock Recovery won't allow flashing of a custom rom. If you have an update.zip of the stock rom, then you could flash it. You have to use a custom recovery e.g ClockworkMod Recovery to flash a custom rom.

Hi guys, help please!!
Im using a samsung galaxy s2
I am a complete novice.
I was trying to gain root access. but before that i had to install an insecure kernel, I think i chose a bad 1 as i don't know what im doing Kernel_I9100XWLP4_INSECURE.tar is the kernel and when it wont reboot, just shows the start up screen then goes blank, i then tried to install secure kernel Kernel_I9100XWLP4.tar to see if it would fix it but same problem.
Does any 1 fancy holding my hand through the stages to fix my phone please?

Okay first read what I wrote there earlier:

And then tell me if u can get to recovery? Maybe your bad kernel still brought cwm on your phone, if so you can flash a new rom with good kernel via recovery.
It's also important which model of phone u have, international or something like that

Volume down is download mode.
Hold menu, power and volume up at the same time.
If you have a custom recovery (likw cwm ClockWorkMod) then you would be able to flash a dorimanx kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617219) I would download a 7.x version (newest) and flash it through cwm. Or, of course, if you want a different rom then flash the rom like Muthzer the One said.

superuser is something else then CWM. Superuser is often needed to give root access to apps.
When your in recovery, what does it say on the first line? Maybe Android recovery system or ClockWorkMod, something like that.

That means your not having a custom recovery.
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617219
Scroll down to just above the download links until you find "In case of a new installation on a non rooted or non recovery device:"
Follow this. The kernel you need is 8.43 (download: http://dorimanx.shine.sk/)

You must not unzip it. Just download it and leave it as it is. Odin needs the tar file.

how to flash stock recovery on atrix4g?
There is no (easy) way. The simplest way would be to flash a full system SBF, and I'm sure you know what that means (if not, do your homework and search before asking further questions).

I had twrp 2.6 and extracted boot IMG then fastbooted it then I tried flashing the ROM and gapps and it always said failed before it did anything any ideas I am on 4.3 jellybean at this moment.
Details?
Are you S-Off?
Did you try to re-download or check MD5?
Is this a nightly or M-series you are trying?

If you are not S=off you need to update the boot.img separately. I believe that is done through fastboot commands. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2121331

I am using ClockworkMod 6.0.4.8. I did recently give twrp a try. I couldn't get CM updater to work with it. It also failed to manual flash a CM11 ROM. So I went back to clockwork. Could be my bad, but that was my experience with it.

You can find updated TWRP recoveries here as well : http://mdmower.cmphys.com/category/fireball/
Fastboot command: Fastboot Flash Recovery (File Name Of Recovery .img)
Or
You can get a recovery flasher from the playstore if your computer doesn't like adb like mine. I know mine is most likely driver related, I just don't feel like fixing it right now.
I used this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools and directed it to where i downloaded my recovery.img in my phone, it flashed it and i rebooted and had the latest TWRP.
Enjoy and hope it works for you!

Yes I have it, its the wife phone but I figured out the current cm11 doesn't seem to work with this device.
Odd, I'm on the 5/14 nightly and it's working great. I'll try a more recent nightly and let you know if I have any issues. S-off is pretty easy with the guides out there and then you don't need to worry about flashing the boot.img which seems cause issues for some.

Ok, I thought so. Unfortunately, I'm getting errors. The OTA just fails on its own, and flashing this zip in recovery does too. It says there is a data error in the file or that there is a problem with buil.prop.
I've tried the latest CWM touch, CWM standard, Recovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img, andrecovery_m7_att_stock_1.26.502.12.img. I've tried clearing cache and dalvik first, mounting system, and even toggling signature verifcation.
Was going to try temp un-rooting (via SuperSU) next. Hoping I don't have to flash the RUU and start from zero. Any other suggestions?
I'm s-off, htc-dev unlocked.
Added screenshots of install after new download of zip and temp un-rooted, install after mounting system, install after toggling verification. build.prop is definitely in system.
