So based off of what you have said:
-Your bootloader is still locked (you haven't said 100% for sure that you are unlocked)
-You may or may not be rooted as well (again, you haven't said if you are or are not)
-You want to run stock recovery, which is the recovery that Moto ships with the device, which is entirely useless for custom ROM flashing
This is the guide you need to root and unlock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423

Keep going with the guide. Go to the fastboot oem unlock step and go from there

After first getting my Atrix I used tenfar's recovery to install one of the first Proms. I cant remember which now.
I have since used Atrix ATTT 2.3.4 Pudding preroot SBF through RSD lite to update to 2.3.4. I would now like to go to CM7.
I have installed the latest Rom Manager and it says I successfully updated to the latest CWM. When I try to reboot into recovery - I get
"Failed to boot 2"
"Starting RSD"
The only way i've been able to fix it is to reflash the preroot SBF.
What am I doing wrong?
welcome to the club my friend. you have to unlock the bootloader and your golden
more info. if you follow the thread more. you will need to run fast boot to obtain this. once you run fastboot. type in fastboot oem unlock. it will then give you the uniquee device id.
power down remove battery if you have. restart the phone in fastboot mode. type in fastboot oem unlock plus the unique id number let it run through process. phone will say unlocked when it reboots. then go ahead and install rom manager and flash the cwm. once installed reboot using rom manager to get into cwm and flash rom

Thanks for the tip! When I do this, though, fastboot hangs on "Waiting for device." Am I doing something wrong? I'm using a Mac, so re-installing drivers isn't the issue.
It's most likely a permission problem. Run fastboot as root/administrator/whatever macs have.
It for sure is the locked bootloader problem. I had though i had unlocked the bootloader and tried to install CWM through rom manager and it put the same error up. I flashed pudding again and then made sure to do the oem unlock commands that i had apparently overlooked
Thats what i am thinking too. that it is the locked bootloader issue. i had this the other day when i attempted to cwm and rom install. thanks to Turl1 and a few others, i was able to have it taken care of in no time.

Hi I've been doin a lot of reading of this forum. My main question is can I install a no sense hc Rom from just performing an HTC unlock or do I need to downgrade to gb anyway in which case I may aswel go s off while I'm at it.
I'm running hc official ota
There is no true no sense rom available as of yet
ok but if i just used the htc unlock could i then easily flash the new virtuous rom which has just started been developed?
Problem is i cant find the correct ruu to downgrade my device, its a uk 16gb wifi . I thought id found it but the site wont let me download.
You should be able to flash clockwork, then a custom ROM through fastboot without downgrade and root.
Haven't done it myself, but that is my understanding of how the unlocked bootloader works versus real S-Off.
I managed to do this hardware unlock and now have an unlocked bootloader. Tried. To flash cwm and corrupted the recovery. How do you install CWM through fastboot?

You have get CWM recovery, go into fastboot, connect USB, and then install via command prompt.
If you are unaware of how to do this try installing recovery via Rom Manager. Might be your easier solution.
Thanks for the reply, I actually downloaded cwm from a post in the dev section. Flashed it through command line with fastboot and now when I boot from recovery the device is stuck on a white HTC screen.
Also tried to use Rom manager but the device has to be rooted first. Can you root it through fastboot without cwm? Can I get a download link for a working cwm?

So I decided to use htcdev to unlock my bootloader last night for the first time. I am on OTA 1.22.651.3. I know I am not "rooted" and am confused as to if I can actually try any custom ROMs. I read REGAWMOD's post regarding his rooter not working right now...is there another option? Sorry if I missed a post that explains this situation, but I just want to try a custom rom without screwing up my phone.

There's really no reason to manually root if you've already unlocked the bootloader. All you need to do is flash a recovery and then you can flash any ROM, which will already have root access. Here's a good instructional on flashing a recovery:

Thanks premo15 for the info and link.
The funny thing about htcdev was the stuff they make you download and the steps they make you go through to unlock the bootloader. I was thinking they were going to make me hop on one foot while patting my head and belly simultaneously. :laugh:
I read over and over, did some research, tried running cmd and so on.
having no luck
I went through the HTCDev, s-on but bootloader unlocked
I'm running stock 2.13
After unlock you need to flash twrp, you can use fastboot to do so, just download twrp from the teamwin website and put the image file in adb tools or android sdk folder and in the bootloader type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.img

yeah, sorry.
the steps i've taken were similar to the htcdev steps,
finish steps 1-7
after I typed "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" into command prompt and gives me
"error: cannot load 'recovery.img'"
The name has to match, when you download twrp 2.2 the full name is openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.img so it would be fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.img or you can rename to recovery.img

Thanks Premo! I was also confused what to do at this point, might this be worth adding to the FAQ thread?
I am on a (completely stock) AT&T HTC One (4.4.2) and I was thinking about trying out some custom ROMs. Can I just use the HTC dev tool to unlock the boot loader? How would I root after that?
I am still new to it so that's about as far as I've gotten in the process. Especially since most of the tutorials I've seen are older and do not exactly mention 4.4.2.
P.S. ~ Kingo root seems to have a very simple HTC boot loader unlock tool as well as an easy method to root. I used the root method on my GS4 a while back and it went pretty well. Are there any downsides to using these?

Getting started with rooting and putting Roms on your phone is no time to get Lazy !
The steps are very simple but learning it the correct way comes in handy down the road.
unlock the bootloader at htcdev.com
use the drivers and adb/fastboot I'm posting below
after you bootloader is unlocked
you use fastboot to flash custom recovery on the phone
TWRP 2.6.3.3 is recommend - Download TWRP
The commands to flash it are
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now enter recovery and on Exit it ask to Root the phone
choose Yes - swipe to root
when the phone boots up go in the app drawer and open SuperSU
it will ask to update choose yes and TWRP method of install
Your phone is now unlocked / rooted / with custom recovery
Now is the time to make a backup in TWRP and copy it to your PC for safe keeping. Your now all set to flash custom roms

SuperSU

Rooting has nothing to do with flashing. Put it in bootloader mode and flash a recovery. Then try doing a factory reset. If that doesn't work, re-flash the ROM.

No offence, but you need to do more research and know how this stuff works before flashing things.
I can't answer your question because I don't know what you are trying to flash. Ask in the thread where you found it. If it's a custom ROM, TWRP Will work. If stock, stock recovery is best.
I'm signing off for a while. Good luck.

Right, because the device is rooted. The first section of the routing guide tells you the problem (modified system position) and there are threads here to solve it.

well that's why you need to unlock bootloader first before attempting to root your phone. and know what you are doing (flashing). With all that said if you can still boot to Recovery then flash this Full ROM (save this on an SD card) that should stop the bootloop and have a working ROM

if you can still access bootloader then simply just boot TWRP from it, first download this full rom and save it on your SD card
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087013219
then go to bootloader if you can still access it and boot TWRP
fastboot boot [whatever your twrp name is].img
you can download modified twrp here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=16464
then once inside TWRP just install the FULL ROM that was downloaded and saved in the SD card/
My phone boots into fastboot ok but there is no recovery wont boot. I try to flash recovery and it says it cant because not unlocked tried unlocking bootloader says its sucesfull but phone wont get bast boot logo.
