Hi I just bought the Atrix 4G. I was using HTC Desire HD before. So when I got my Atrix first I installed the Gingerblur and rooted it successfully but after that I installed 2.3.4 and now it is not rooted and I can't install CWM Recovery also... When I tried to install CWM the fastboot screen gives me a error like stormgr partition: SOS... How am I going to solve this problem ?? thanks for everyone...

Do you have unlock bootloader? Everytime your boot it show up a tag upper left corner "Unlocked" ?
If the answer is YES, I can help you to install both root and cwm at once.
yes my phone is unlocked
-Edit: Actually I want to change my ROM to CherryBlur... but I wonder about the Hardbrick.. My rom is now 2.3.4 HKTW and do you think I can change my ROM to Cherry Blur safely??
If you are already unlocked flash the cwm recovery then the cherry blur rom. (same one I'm rocking).
Look in the development forum for both links.

I have rooted my Photon 2.3.5 build 254_13. and have also installed bootstrap recovery successfully. I am quite new to this whole stuff.
Since I am stuck with Locked bootloaders thus unable to install CWM recovery; can anyone guide me if I can install any ROM (Specially ICS or JB) with help of bootstrap recovery.
No ics or jb roms

Hey guys so ive got a couple questions on installing roms. 1st will safe strap install all roms? Should i use cwm? Thanks in advance
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
Safe strap can be used for most ROMs.... the new ones in particular.... its the safest recovery mode .... very good

Use what the Dev of the rom you want to install suggests. If you decide to change roms, you may have to change recovery method. Always go with what Dev says unless you are an advanced user.

Does flashing cwm need root privileges? And is flashing rom's safe too without root access?

If you flash CWM through fastboot or Odin or similar method then no you don't need root access. In regards to flashing ROMs without having root access from CWM it's not a good idea the as the installation will likely fail because without root the system partition can't be modified which is necessary when installing a new ROM.

Actually there is nothing wrong with that. Its perfectly safe to flash a ROM in the situation of having a custom recovery without root access.

Yes, you could recover the backup (as long as you can get into recovery mode).

You will not hardbrick your device doing this without root access in the unlikely event something does go wrong you will end up with a soft brick that can either be recovered through a NANDROID backup or if needed using the Micromax flash tool. I should also clear up any confusion I may have caused earlier as I misunderstood your question, the vast majority of custom ROMs will include root access but if they don't or you don't currently have root access you can still flash ROMs in CWM successfully.

sorry for using this thread. but.. why would you then need root if flashing without root is possible(and safe) ?

Root would be needed in the first place to allow you to install a custom recovery such as CWMR or TWRP that you can then use to flash ROM's and other modifications. Some devices such as Samsung devices that have Odin allow you to flash ROM's through Odin without having root provided the bootloader is unlocked. Let me know if you still have questions.
Would I be able to use odin(or a similar program) to flash cwm on a wolfgang at - as45ips (rebranded amoi n821)?
Since normal root methods don't work for me..

Odin is only compatible with Samsung devices. What version of Android is your device running I may be able to suggest a root method?

HTC Desire S
Hi I have a HTC Desire S with stock gingerbread 2.3.5 and unrooted. I want to flash MIUI v5. But in order to do this I have to install clockworkmod.
Tutorials said that I first have to unlock the bootloader on the htc website. When I tried to do that, i could not get the token key because my hboot is outdated. I have read many tutorials on the internet on updating hboot but I failed to do so as I kept getting a "Write access denied" message in the command line (Windows7). I've tried other methods like using EasyUnlockTool and read on stuff about "gold cards" but this just keep getting more confusing.
I've flashed my galaxy S i9000 so many times before but don't understand why HTC complicates things so much http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/crying.gif
Is there no simpler way to just flash this phone with MIUI? Can this be done without needing to install CWM, updating hboot or rooting?

Installing Clockworkmod Recovery, updating HBoot, and rooting are all necessary steps to install MIUI on your phone. I would recommend checking out this guide that will guide you through the process of updating HBoot, rooting, and install Clockworkmod Recovery. Additionally I would recommend checking out this index thread that has many additional guides and information about HBoot, Rooting, ROMs, etc. Overall, start with updating HBoot and then once you have done that move onto, the other steps. Let me know if you still have questions.
Whats the best rooting app for LGMS550?
Hi Guys,
I just rooted my Motorola XT910 using Root Master & rooted it successfully. I tried to install cwm on it using bootstrap method but that method caused a error 'Encryption Unsuccessful'. I searched some forums and solved that issue by using RSD Flashing Method. So, is there another way to put custom recovery in it so that flashing of custom rom in it will also possible.
Please Help..

I have a xt912 and use Safe Strap. I believe it works on the 910. It's great! I'd routinely load 2 to 3 ROMs at any one time.

The umts spyder roms & safestrap is for your xt910.
Do not use the spyder versions for the xt912.
