Hi all. Semi-noob question I know, but is there an easier way to flash a boot screen? Specifically this one.
I'm not familiar with adb (never had to use it with my previous Android devices) and I'm frightened of this "NVFlash" I've read about.
Thanks in advance for the help... or the "no". LOL!

So, the Atrix 2 is my first motorola android phone. On my Captivate and Aria, everything in terms of hacking was very clear and easy to understand. you root, flash CWM and off you go. On my Atrix 2, I don't understand any of this crap. Can you guys help clear it up?
1.) I flashed the Bionic CWM like many others and can't boot into it (like not even through ROM Manager)
2.)I read some stuff about bootstrap. What is this? I know you have to have it to boot into CWM, but I have no idea how to get it or what it is.
3.)What does a locked boot loader have to do with a custom recovery and how does that affect anything?
4.) What is this fastboot thing? I downloaded the 470 some odd meg zip because I heard it could help recover a soft brick, but how do I use that or flash it or where do I put it? I'm so bewildered with all these new things.
If you could please answer and help clear things up that would be greatly appreciated and if there is anything else important, please help me understand before I try anything and screw up.
I'm only 14 so it's hard to understand a lot of this stuff hahaah

1. We don't yet have that ability, but with the sfb/fxz out now i'm sure it's just a matter of time.
2. Not really sure how to explain that
3. Because alot of the framework is locked due to the bootloader, the devs haven't been able to come up with a fully functional recovery, limiting some functionality of the recovery's that are out there.
4. Not sure as I haven't looked in to it yet
I have a proscan tablet that is locked and the max password atempt is locked and the google account is locked there isnt a normal bootloader than i can wipe it from. I can get adb to work but cant find out how to flash a stock rom to it with adb. I have the img but dont know how to flash it. I have adb installed on my ubuntu pc just don't know the commands any help would be apppreciated.
doesn't look like there's a lot out here for your device. The only thing i could find that may be of some use is
Might be of some use.
Oh and generally you wipe your device in recovery not the bootloader. So maybe try that first
Good luck
Sorry I meant recovery not bootloader there isn't a recovery like on most devices

I'm sorry man. I did not mean to leave you high and dry. I thought I had given you a link to look into. Try this link here. There's not a lot out here for your device so if that is not what you're looking for you can ask your question here
Hello All,
I tried to find the best place in the forum to put this thread, i hope this one is ok.
Three days ago i made a big mistake trying to root my ASUS TF103C, i have downloaded a wrong zip file with scripts for ZenFone5 and execute a .bat that destroy the tablet (totally my fault). i spent three days reading and trying everything, i read all the forums and tried lot of fastboot procedures and also EasyFlash with stock firmware "WW_epaduser9_2_1_27UpdateLauncher" but nothing. To make it worst (after reading a lot) i realize that i don't have recovery (power+volume down is not working) and i'm sure that my bootloader is locked (since i didn't unlocked) .... I don't know what else to do i'm sure it must be a way to flash a new firmware with fastboot, i mean, i don't want to loose the hope :crying: . At this point i really don't care which firmware , which android version i just want to revive the tablet.
I read this forum A LOT and i know you are experienced people with android and procedures like this.
PLEASE , can you help me ?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.
Hello Pr0sper,
i am quite a n00b too but i am suffering a similar error with my tf101 and was trying a lot too.
So just to make sure you did everything:
Are you able to connect your Tablet with your Pc? Is the PC recognising the connection with your Pc?
Is Cold-booting Linux available?
Can you start APX mode on Tablet?
Did you run ADB?
Regards
Bava
I dropped my opo this past friday and the screen has this nasty crack now, but worse, the touchscreen no longer works. I can boot it up to any of my 3 roms via the volume keys (thanks to multirom) but once at the lock screen i cant get any further!
1. I'm pretty sure this is a hardware issue. Do you think a digitizer/screen replacemnt would solve this?
2. Being that ive never delt with hardware before, is it better if I sell my opo "for parts"?
3. Is there any way I can get my data off it even tho I cant get into my phone?
4. Does anyone know of software i can controll my phone from my computer? (and if so how would i install it withiut going on my phone?)
Sorry for being too multi directional with this, I'm just trying anything i can think of.
Any advice is very much helpful and appreciated!! PLEASE HELP!! And thanks guys!!

Hey all, this is my first post here, so if anything horrifically wrong happens with this post, please let me know.
I recently rooted my first device since 4.4 (BLU G91 Pro), and started messing with kernel parameters. I have gotten the phone to be both more performant and efficient at the same time by fiddling with the "CPU sets". However, while I now have a configuration that improves both important things regarding a mobile device [Fig. 1], I don't know *why*. I do not understand what the options fully do, and in one case, I have no clue at all what it is. Can anyone either explain them in a concise but easy to read manner, or direct me to that? Thanks.
How did you get it to root? I have the same phone but with the mtk tool it won't backup and from the guide on here he says you need boot img a which is there but there's no boot img b?
Thanks for any help
