I am absolutely new to this Android ROM installs on the phones. Though I decided to install this ROM I absolutely didn’t’ have any idea how to proceed. As a beginner I started doing the following in order.
Download and Keep the CM7 ROM
1. Downloaded Ba2F.zip to my laptop
2. Downloaded and Installed the Motorola USB drivers MotoHelper_2.0.53_Driver_5.2.0.EXE
3. Connect the Atrix and set the USB option on the phone to “USB Mass Storage”
4. Copy both BaTF.zip as well as the Extracted one to Phone internal storage as well as the Ext-SDcard on the phone
Download ROM Manager and Titanium Backup
1. Downloaded both from Android Market (ROM Manager Pro and Titanium Backup Free Version)
2. Both Apps won’t open because I had not ROOTED the phone
Root the Phone
1. I used “Pete's Motorola Root Tools.EXE” file to ROOT the phone
2. Followed step by step as mentioned here http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-motorola-atrix-4g-35233/
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
1. I used ROM Manager to do this as when you try to do anything in ROM manager it prompts to do this. The version of this is 5.0.2.0 ( I am not sure what is this for why we have to do this)
Unlocking the Bootloader
1. What I learned is, to unlock the bootloader, we have to first flash the phone with the SBF file
a. Installed RSDLite5.3.1.msi
b. Loaded the file 4547-fix-try2.sbf (Downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261)
c. Boot the phone with Power+volume UPPER key pressed till "Starting RSD protocol support" comes up
d. Connect to the Laptop and Hit Start button in RSD Lite Program
e. It Did Throw an error saying “FAIL” after showing the following message
i. Failed to boot: error 0x1000'( not word for word). There will also be a list of boot options like Fastboot, RSD, Recovery, etc. And it says Starting Fastboot Protocol
2. Then comes unlocking the phone
a. Though I had the previous error message, it still had the Fastboot Protocol loaded
b. I went to the FASTBOOT folder in command prompt of my laptop executed the following to unlock the phone which worked perfectly as I see the “Unlock” on the left hand corner when phone boots
c. fastboot oem unlock (it gave me the code) then I used the code to unlock
d. fastboot oem unlock #######
e. fastboot reboot
3. Installing the recovery IMG
a. I had downloaded the Recovery IMG file (recovery-atrix5.img) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
b. Booted the phone into Fastboot mode (turn off phone, hold power and volume down key until 'fastboot' appears then use volume up to select so it says 'starting fastboot protocol support').
c. From the CMD promnt and FASTBOOT directory I used fastboot erase recovery
d. Then I executed fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img (Note: I didn’t rename the file to recovery as suggested by some people)
e. Then gave fastboot reboot to restart.
4. Booting into Recovery mode (This is where I have the problem)
a. The phone is not booting into recovery it’s not going past the Android and yellow Triangle screen
b. I re-flashed the phone same SBF file (this time it was a success showed in the RSD Lite Program), re-installed the same IMG file after renaming to recovery.img
c. Also tried with a different IMG from the same link (recovery-blue-atrix5.img) but no luck
d. Also deleted the file install-recovery.sh from ./etc/ folder (bought the app root manager to delete the file) and then push the recovery.img, no luck
e. Some people said to TAP the bottom right corner while on that screen, did that but nothing is happening
f. Then I saw a note to press both the Volume Keys at the same time, this works but in this mode the cursor (I mean the selection) on the phone doesn’t go to the First TWO (i and iii) shown below, it allows me to select any of the last FOUR (v, vi, vii, viii).
i. Android System Recovery <3e>
ii. <EMPTY LINE >
iii. Android System Recovery utility
iv. <EMPTY LINE >
v. Reboot System now
vi. Apply update from sdcard
vii. Wipe data/factory reset
viii. Wipe cache partition
g. Using the above option I did factory reset but sill no results.
5. Current condition of the phone
a. It boots in unlock mode and I can do all the daily tasks. But I want to install the CM7 ROM that’s my requirement
PLEASE HELP HELP HELP
First of all, I applaud your effort in giving the a very comprehensive description of your issue.
Second, it seems you are having issues with installing a custom recovery because the recovery you're describing is still the stock recovery. I'll look around and see if I can find something that might help.

Have you tried re-installing the CWM from RomManager through RomManager? And then boot into recovery from within the app?
---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------
EDIT: This might seem trivial, but is "USB Debugging" turned on?
You are the Man, I just flashed the same CWM 5.0.2.0 and i am in the recovery mode. This gave me an error when i did last time hence i didn't try again.
Thanks a bunch
Glad I can help, also, I think it's recommended to use the RomManager recovery for CM7 so good thing it worked.

Oops.. started again, Can i use the recovery-atrix5.img and ROM manager flash it? if yes, then how?
I copy this file (after renaming to recovery.img) to both internal storage and SD card then what option should i choose in ROM Manager?
If you downloaded the CWM zip file for the romracer recovery and as long as RomManager's recovery is working then, yes, you can.

See post#2 from romracer's thread. Read the Miscellaneous part. Probably need to get rid of, or backup, install-recovery.sh.
He has mentioned he already did that. In his OP, under the steps he took look at "Booting into Recovery Mode" - 4.d, he says he removed it.
Maybe he's not doing it in the right order? Do you happen to know which should be done first as far as installing recovery and removing said file?

Woops, I should have read more carefully. It's best to remove the file first and then flash the recovery.img, or else the script will install the stock recovery on boot. That would make stock recovery the current one on the phone at the time of the script getting deleted.
I would double check and make sure /system/etc does not have install-recovery.sh. If it is not there, then proceed to the fastboot steps and reflash the recovery.img again. It should stick this time.
@Ghost, yes i deleted the file multiple times however i didn't find the /system/etc folder on the Internal Storage. however I found the install-recovery.sh file under /etc folder. The thing i observed that whether i flash it with a new CWM or not if i reboot the phone then it was created by itself.
@Live4nyy, Thanks for your suggestion, I could able to install CM7 now and it looks awesome good so far, but looks like i need to install Google Apps separately to access the APP market, am I right?
The only thing that happens to me is, it allowed me to go to Recovery only ONCE after i Flashed it thru ROM Manager, if i exit out of recovery without doing anything then next time tried to go to Recovery, it will struck at the same old Android screen and i had to flash it again. But Many thanks for suggesting to flash it thru ROM Manager.
Now with CM7, under ROM Manager (I guess this comes default with CM7) I see there is no version listed under "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery" and it says i must have to install it in-order to Flash and restore ROMs, do i need to do that? I can go to Recovery mode after reboot without any issues. Please Advise.

I just checked out my girlfriend's stock, locked, unrooted Atrix and she actually has install-recovery.sh in both /etc and /system/etc. Her file manager does not alphabetize anything in either folder, so I almost overlooked the second one.
If you're already on CM7, then you probably won't need to worry anymore. They have an entirely different set of start up scripts in that folder. Welcome to the community!
At this point I do not know enough to help you any further with this issue. All I knew about is the file that needs to be removed that @ghost_og has mentioned. But if you can flash it from RomManager and access CWM from there as well then I guess that's a good enough workaround for now.
Does anyone else have any idea why the stock recovery cannot be removed?

I am good to go now, everything seems to be functioning well after flashing CM7 ROM, no more recovery issues, and the Stock recovery is gone now.
Appreciate for all the info you guys provided, it helped a lot. Have a great day and Merry Christmas.

Here We have the Root And CWM for Nexus 10 On Android 4.2.2!
Step 1 - Download Android SDK from the Android Developers website and install with USB drivers. See: How to Set Up Android SDK (Fastboot / ADB) on Windows.
Step 2 - Enable USB Debugging mode in your Nexus 10 tablet.
Step 3 - Download Fastboot and extract it in android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory. Create directory if not already there.
NOTE: Skip Steps 1, 2, 3 if you already have them.
Step 4 - Download SuperSU v1.04 (UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip) and copy it to your sdcard on your Nexus 10 tablet.
Step 5 - Make sure you have backup your data as it will be removed. Then switch OFF your Nexus 10.
Step 6 - Download recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-manta.img and copy/paste it in the android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory.
Step 7 - Now go into Fastboot Mode on Nexus 10. How? Press Volume Down + UP + Power key for a few seconds till you see some text on the screen.
Step 8 - Navigate to android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory and open Command Prompt (Shift + Right-click > Open Command Prompt).
Step 9 - Type in the following command and press Enter.
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-manta.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 10 - Once completed, choose RECOVERY MODE from the Fastboot menu and enter Recovery Mode.
Step 11 - Then scroll down to “flash zip from SD card” and press the Power button to select it.
Step 12 - Press the Power button again and select “choose zip from sdcard”.
Step 13 - Now using your volume keys, navigate to the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip file that you copied to your SD card and select it using the Power button. Confirm the installation on the next screen and the installation procedure should start now.
Step 14 - After the installation completes, go to “+++++Go Back” and reboot the phone by selecting “reboot system now” from the recovery menu. Then Choose yes flash recovery back (this will make CWM your permanent recovery mode)
That’s it. Your Nexus 10 is now rooted on Android 4.2.2 JDQ39 software version of Jelly Bean and even has a custom CWM recovery installed. Check for the SuperSU app in your apps list to verify.

I think you have to unlock your device first. Then you can easily install your custom recovery
how do I install TWRP now?
never mind was trying to flash a .TAR file this wayyy... figured it out. need a .img
Use the nexus 10 toolkit
Side Load via adb,
then re run the everything script in toolkit.
Worked like a charm for me, however, I did have to reflash back to my first backup, to be on stock 4.2.1 with stock kernel

hope this one works :fingers-crossed:
I followed your method and got:
1.- Clockworkmod E:can't mount /sdcard/
2.- System stuck at Nexus X logo
What do I do now?
[update]
1.- Got factory image: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantaray
2.- Ran "flash-all.bat" from the tgz
3.- Flashed recovery-twrp-2.4.2.0-manta.img
4.- TWRP asked if I wanted to install SU, I said yes
5.- Happy days.
Sorry if this has already been asked and I'm not understanding it.
I bought my mom a Nexus10 and it's missing some Indian fonts on it. I saw I need to flash on a fontpack to add them.
The tablet is totally stock, on 4.2.2..
Do I need to unlock the bootloader first (which wipes all the data) and then do the steps from the 1st post?
This whole process is not working for me. I am in windows 8 and it just doesnt let me install sdk nor even ask me to install drivers. Can you suggest what is the possible way out? I am unable to move ahead due to these issues :/
Root failed.
I followed all instructions (I have successfully rooted a number of smartphones and the Nexus 7 before this). The end result is that the Nexus 10 is unlocked, but hangs on bootup with just the X showing. I can't go into Recovery mode (I just get the Android lying on his back with an exclamation point showing and eventually it tries a normal boot - as far as the X).
I can't try Restart Bootloader as this, too, leads to just the X and hangs. I have reset the tab (power + down volume) and also have tried to reconnect the tab to the PC, which now does not recognize it, putting fastboot.exe and adb.exe out of reach. I think something might have gone wrong installing CWM, though it did boot up a couple of times after that with a couple of errors that passed by too fast to copy - before it started to hang. I never got a chance to put superuser on it as Recovery mode is out of reach. I tried a master reset the last time I got to Recovery Mode, but got several minor errors and now seem not to have ANY bootloader working. Short of sending the tab back to Google to have them restore a 'cherry' Android 4.2.2 (for a sum), I'm lost as to where to go next.
Any ideas?

how to root s3mini 8200
Hi!
Yesterday night, I was on the lookout for emoji font for my phone. To no avail finding colored emoji icons, I ended up going to Font Changer (Root) but found nothing there either. Since I just discovered the app, I thought, why not just try something new? A new font? So I downloaded a font, made a backup of my old font and rebooted the phone. But then it was done. My phone didn't start anymore and was stuck on booting. I went over to Modaco forums, downloaded a custom recovery and then downloaded one of the many dedoxed roms there. I tried to flash it, but in avail.
-- Install /data/media
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installation aborted.
So I downloaded another ROM to try. Same error. I tried to download the stock firmware from ASUS. Same error. What is causing this?
Keep in mind, I have done a data/factory reset wipe! The phone was obviously rooted before the incident! I did not have a custom recovery before the incident! I have tried 4 different ROMs! I am currently on Modaco's custom recovery!
ROMs tried -
* Deodexed TW ROM (Padfone 2)
* Deodexed WWE ROM (Padfone 2)
* [Pre MCR WWE ROM (Padfone 2)
* PadFone2 Firmware: V10.4.11.13 Only for JP SKU (Android 4.1) (STOCK)
Current recovery -
* Modaco R1 Custom Recovery
try restoring with the phone plugged in to a power source.
it worked for me when i got the same message trying to update.

Lky CWM or TWRP
Sent from my A116 using Tapatalk 2
Same happened to me, but I got it up and running again!
Earlier today I bricked my Padfone 2 too by installing 3rd part font. After a reboot to apply the changes, it got to the boot logo but never any further.
I got it up and running again, :victory: and to those out there in same or similar situation, here's a tutorial on what I did:
Before we start, there's a few things you need;
1.1 Latest ADB version (I used 1.0.31)
1.2 Latest Fastboot version
1.3 CWM Recovery
1.4 Latest ASUS USB Drivers (available from ASUS Support site)
1.5 Padfone 2 Firmware (available from ASUS Support site)
*** NOTE: For ease of use, place extract and place all of the above to the same folder.
*** NOTE: Inside the Padfone 2 Firmware ZIP file, there's another ZIP file. This is the one we need! The one I used was called "WWE_A68-10.4.15.1-0-ota-user.zip"
*** NOTE: This method does not install CWM Recovery on your phone, it only boots it temporarily.
If you have all of the above, continue to step 2;
2.1 Booting your Padfone 2 into Fastboot mode
2.2 Press and hold Power + Volume up buttons
In Fastboot mode, connect your phone to your computer and launch cmd. Wait for windows to install necessary drivers if needed.
3.1 Navigate your CMD to the folder containing ADB, Fastboot and CWM Recovery (recovery.img)
3.2 In CMD type:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
In the CWM Recovery on your phone, select the option titled "Install ZIP from sideload".
Use the volume keys to navigate and select by pressing the power button.
4.1 In CMD, transfer the Padfone 2 Firmware by typing
Code:
adb sideload [firmware-file-name.zip]
- Example from my case, I wrote:
Code:
adb sideload WWE_A68-10.4.15.1-0-ota-user.zip
4.2 When it is done, you'll be presented with CWM Recovery's screen again, select "Reboot system now".
4.3 CWM Recovery will present you with a warning saying: "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?" - Select "NO".
[EDIT]
In some, if not all cases, Windows will try to install new drivers, but fail. If windows installed the drivers correctly, skip this step.
To solve this, go to device manager by entering the Start menu, right-click Computer and select “Manage”. Select the Device Manager.
You should see a failed device named A68. Right-click it and select “Update device software”
Select “Browse my computer for driver software”
Select “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”
Select “Have Disk”
Now browse and navigate to the folder you extracted your ASUS USB Drivers to and select the file named “android_winusb.inf”
Select “ASUS Android ADB Interface” and install.
Added files and a neat pdf tutorial.
[/EDIT]
All done! You should have a working Padfone 2 again!
Please note that you may need to root your phone again.
Please credit if used

I am caught in a bootloop with my TF300T and am desperate for help or to know for sure if I bricked or if there is a way out. I have successfully rooted my TF300T a month or two ago by following the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982. I kept the latest Asus ROM that I had before the root – I believe it was 4.2.1 but have no way to verify this now.
After rooting, I installed Super SU Pro and used “Root App Delete” and periodically “safe delete” (with undelete) bloatware, tested the tablet for a while, then safe deleted something else that seemed to be bloatware. Apparently I have deleted one to many essential components and am caught in a bootloop. I can’t tell which app deletion did me into this situation.
When booting to recovery using pwr + vol. down, I get the three icons (RCK, android, and wipe data) and am able to go into TWRP when selecting the RCK option. I was also able to flash an update to TWRP from my PC and upgraded from TWRP 2.5.0.0 to 2.6.3.0 in hope that the new version will be able to fix what my previous version didn’t. You may find it important that at the top of the Fastboot screen – the one with the three icons, it reads:
Key driver not found.. Booting OS
Android cardhu user bootloade <1.00 a> released by “US_epad-10.6.1.27.1-20130711” A03
Starting FastbootUSB download protocol
From TWRP I tried to wipe Dalvik and cash as some threads suggested, and to clear permissions. Clear permissions ran for 2-3 hours and didn’t complete. Those attempts produced the following message:
E: Unable to find partition size for ‘/recovery’
E: Unable to find partition size for ‘/boot’
Updating partition details…
Simulating actions…
…Followed by a “Failed” message
I also have a backup from shortly after the root and when attempting a restore it from TWRP, I get the same “Unable to find partition” message.
What I was trying to get to is to flash the latest Asus provided firmware for the TF300T (10.6.1.27.5, 508 MB) by putting the once unzipped zip file on a Micro SD card, and renaming the zip like the above referenced blog suggests, and then attempting to install it from the TWRP Install utility. This too failed resulting in the same “Unable to find partition…” messages above.
What does it really mean “Unable to find partition”? Why can't I restore my backup? Am I supposed to be able to flush a new ROM OS from TWRP Install utility? Any idea on a new direction will be appreciated. Please be patient with me – I am of the generation of printed manuals and am learning this new way.
I just installed SuperSU after unlocking...
When I boot into recovery, it says Unable to find the partition size for recovery and boot.
I then decided to factory reset to get ready to install a new ROM, and it kinda works... Then I try to install the ROM and it fails.
I reboot the system and it just boots into recovery. :/
I checked my downloads, and I downloaded the correct version(-4.2 blob) for my device(tf300t). I followed instructions but still ended up in this boot loop. Any suggestions?
Edit: Found a more updated version of TWRP(I had 2.6.x, found a 2.7)
Everything was smooth sailing from there.
Hey guys,
My honor 7 is still at the B100 update. I always wanted to update to other versions but wasn't able to.
My phone was rooted and ofc if you update then it won't work. It always fails at rebooting and brings it back to twrp recovery (including bootloop). After a couple of times using volume + and powerbutton it will sometimes bring it to EMUI erecovery, and by then I can start my phone the normal way.
So now I unrooted my device by a full uninstall in superSU. But still the updates won't work.
Then I did a factory reset, but still no succes in updating my device (still getting twrp bootloop).
So now i'm following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/guide-how-to-update-to-marshmallow-6-0-t3349497 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/guide-beginners-how-to-root-update-fix-t3255452
After following the steps in "[Guide] How To Update To The Latest Marshmallow 6.0 From B180" I get stuck at step 7.
I don't know what kind of command prompt I should use. I am using my windows command prompt and directed it to the extracted path (step 6).
In step 7 I need to use the fastboot flash functions but the cmd prompt doesn't recognise the functions. So I'm guessing I'm using not the right kind of cmd (do iI need to use like adb program or something)?
For the guide: "[Guide For Beginners] - How To Update, Root, Tweak, and Fix Honor 7"
In step 2 I need to go into the bootloader menu by using volume + and powerbutton. For me it will go into EMUI erecovery.
Summary:
What have I done:
- unrooted my device by full uninstall SuperSU (any rooted apps won't work)
- factory reset my device
- edit1: tried also to put marshmallow version in sd/dload and installing it local. No succes again.
Problems:
- unable to update my device, it will never install the update.
- when the device is rebooting for update installation it will get into a twrp bootloop.
- problems in guides steps.
I hope someone is able to help me with these problems.

Hey guys,
My honor 7 is still at the B100 update. I always wanted to update to other versions but wasn't able to.
My phone was rooted and ofc if you update then it won't work. It always fails at rebooting and brings it back to twrp recovery (including bootloop). After a couple of times using volume + and powerbutton it will sometimes bring it to EMUI erecovery, and by then I can start my phone the normal way.
So now I unrooted my device by a full uninstall in superSU. But still the updates won't work.
