Ok, so i have a new Atrix that came stock with 2.3.4/4.5.91 from AT&T. I Rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, and installed this Recovery: recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029. Then I tried to flash CM& Beta, and all hell broke loose. on reboot, it got stuck on the Dual Core screen, and I can do anything else, because now i get battery to low to flash error. What mode does the phone need to be in so it will charge, and what do i need to do to fix this?
I have a Droid two global by Motorola and bricked it at one point in time. I had the same issue. I am not sure if this is the case with the atrix, but it very possibly could be. In his state often Motorola phones will not charge themeselves. There are a few options. The easiest is if you have a buddy that has the same phone as you. You can borrow the battery from his phone. You could also simply buy another battery. The honestly best, but hardest method is to buy or make your own Motorola factory cable. You can look that up online. After you have a charged battery simply find instructions to recover your phone via fastboot, or sbf. Hope you get it working
P.s. if this helped you, or you simply appreciate me taking the time out of my fourteen year old life then please press the thanks button
Well, I was able to rescue my phone lol. After the panic set in and I was calm again, I searched the house and found my microSD to SD adapter, and downloaded the "alien" ROM, entered recovery and was able to install it. After that phone booted up properly and went it charge mode....thank God lol. So now I'm left with another series of questions...why wouldn't the recovery install the backup I made, and wouldn't the CM7 beta not install, but the alien rom installed just fine? I might to go to the forum specific area for androids foe this one...

Gonna answer my own question here...I had the wrong recovery installed. For others wanting to install CM7, use rom manager, and install the most current version of clockworkmod recovery and make sure to update it. This was my golden ticket to CM7 love
okay so i have spent many hours with my new motorola photon 4g that i recently got from sprint. bout 4 days now. im more use to using samsung android devices and htc devices and this is my first motorola. i had been wanting to root it because its my favorite thing with an android when i get one. so i did research and unlocked my bootloader and did the unlock sbf file and installed clockwork mod revocovery as well. after all that my photon was working fine but was on stock rom. i had downloaded a rom and put it into the phone and of course installed it. im not used to motorola and it was my first time learning about their bootstrap and blah blah blah. after installing i had tried turning the phone on but it just stayed at the Motorola dual core screen. i tried booting three more times to no luck. so then i had tried another rom and again i had no luck. i should have done the smart thing which is after the unlocking and putting on recovery to make a back up immediately but for some reason didnt. so i go online to find another sbf file so that i could start all over and see my mistakes, but then my battery was way to low. my advice to you is to make sure your battery is filled up cuz trust me this was a ***** to figure all out. so this is what i did in case if any body has this kind of problem, cuz i know im not gonna be the first, well maybe, but definitely not the last. what i found out is the phone wont let you flash any files when battery is low. and as i can say, its for saftey reason cuz if it dies while flashing, well you might be **** out of luck. depending on what you are flashing. but what i found out is that if you connect the hone to the wall outlet, the phone will turn on into clockwork. dont try plugging into the computer cuz it will be useless. i tried several times till i finally got the message. the recovery is the only thing that can be booted up. you dont even need the battery in the photon. it will still turn on as long as it was in the outlet. i then transfered files to the sdcard from another phone, over and over till finding the right one, then flashed and flaseh. finally, finally found a rom that woul work with ,y phone. i kept the rom till i was able to charge the phone. rom kept bootlooping but it kept bootlooping long enough to charge the battery then flashed the sbf sprint file to my phone. i wanted to write this cuz i was hoping somebody would be able to explain to me what i may have done wrong with the flashing or if their was a step that i had skipped cuz it seems like no rom works as of now with my photon. hopefully someone can help me out here cuz i really do want a custom rom. or maybe someone can tell me what i should do in order to install a custom rom and have it work for me.

jokersax11 has done an amazing job bringing ICS to the photon... I believe he will soon have his beta officially picked up by cyanogenmod... also, I am pretty sure he's close to fixing the 4G that you loose when you unlock the bootloader.
Hello I rooted my Inspire last Feb. I have installed several Rom's. Today I picked up a new phone for myself, HTC Vivid and was going to give the Inspire to my wife. Just didn't want her to be able to see all the different stuff I had on the Inspire. To make a long story short, I had a brain fart and without thinking went into factory reset and reset my rooted phone (I know dumb). Now I'm stuck in a loop, how do I correct this problem?
I have pulled the battery to get out of the loop and held down the volume and pushed the power button to get into bootloader from there I went into recovery and checked my sd card and there is no Rom. Help please.
If you can get into recovery, then download a rom to pc, connect phone to pc, mount sd card, transfer, wipe, flash.

Scrappy, now you know it, never do a factory reset on a custom rom...you will get stuck with no rom at all.
Boot in hboot and choose recovery. If you still have CWM recovery you can flash a custom rom from the sdcard (you will need a sdcard reader) but first make a full wipe to have a clean flash.
If you want to rever to stock ruu, then flash the official at&t GB RUU (is an .exe file) from fastboot (boot in hboot, choose fastboot and plug the phone till u see fastboot usb in red), then run the file.
The file u can get it from www.htc.com go to support and find downloads in the Inspire 4G section.
Yes pretty much what the above member said. Just pick a Rom there is a member by the name of gene pool that has a revert back to stock like out of the box kind revert its the dev thread for the inspire

Yep, that is correct..but if he wants to flash a custom rom. If he actually wants to revert to stock and keep S-OFF he has to flash the RUU...:fingers-crossed:

OK, I did a complete wipe, I am going to get the sd card reader. Just for the heck of it I mounted the sd card and looked to see what files (data) is on the card and all that is there is the 4ext recovery. Everything else is gone.
I am running up to walmart to get the sd card reader. If you wouldn't mind, could you please give (I feel stupid asking this) a step by step or provide a link on exactly how to this is done with the card reader.
Right now when attach my Inspire to the PC it won't even recognize it as a disk. So that is kind of throwing me for loop. I already have the ROM on my PC it is a rooted version of the original Gingerbread RUU.
Thank you so much for your help. :good:

All is good, all working, wife is happy , you saved my butt.
Thank you so much.
Now I'm trying to decide if I want to keep the HTC Vivid or go with the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket (can't afford the Galaxy S III or the HTC One X). Have you checked out either phone and what is your opinion of them, to me the Vivid almost seems to much like the Inspire, except a lot faster. I have read and watched so many reviews of both phones but I am almost tempted to try The Skyrocket just for something different. Either way after rooting my Inspire I'm sure whatever I end up keeping, it will be rooted. Just looking for your thoughts on those two phones.

Hi.
I recently flashed the iNfinity HD V2 rom on my Blu Life Play.
Since then I have not been able to get my sim to be recognize in the sim 2 slot.
It worked before I flashed the rom and I'm at a loss as how to resolve the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm no expert on this, but here is my guess.
There are 2 versions of the Blu Life Play. One of which supports 850/1900 3G bands, the other working with 850/2100. Both of these versions of your phone have 2 sim card slots. My guess would be (and odds are I am not right) is that you flashed the ROM corresponding to the opposite version of the Life Play that you have, and that caused some sort of issue. Like if you had the L100a, you might have accidentally flashed the L100i ROM, or the other way around.
Check the thread or page that you got the ROM from. That 2nd SIM card slot issue might be a known issue. Usually ROM developers will post a "What's Working" and "What's Not Working" section on the thread or page they made for their ROM. Check to see if the SIM card issue is in the "What's Not Working" section.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply.
That could be a possibility.
I have gone through the thread and I don't see anything specific to my problem but something similar.
I should I have been more vigilant before I flashed.

If it is really necessary that you have the 2nd SIM card slot, just go back to the stock version of Android that came with your phone, and then from there try to get another ROM. That way, even if you are unable to find another ROM that doesn't have the 2nd SIM card issue, at least you will be running a version of Android that does support it.

My main issue at the moment is actually getting the phone back to stock; every time I flash it there seems to be remnants of the old rom.
I cant' seem to get it back to stock.
I managed to get the phone back to stock including the recovery.
I still can't get the phone to recognize the sim.
After reading some threads here I think I flashed a rom for L100i instead of L100a.
I think the problem is to do with the modem.
Can anyone help me please?
I think I have the problem narrowed down to not having a IMEI number.
I have no back up of it.
Is there any way I can get a the IMEI back on my phone?
Phone is no longer rooted and having trouble rooting again.

If all you did was restore a recovery-made-backup, I don't think that will restore original baseband and stuff. If this is how you got back to stock, that means that although you are running stock BLU-Android, you are still using the broken L100i incompatible baseband.
I am not sure if this phone is compatible with ODIN, but if it is and you can find a tutorial on how to restore your L100a back to stock with ODIN then this is what you want. I am not sure what ODIN stands for, but it's a download tool used for not only restoring a phone's android operating system back to stock, but the other things that a plain old recovery-backup doesn't cover like kernel and baseband. ODIN requires a Windows PC with the correct phone drivers installed. So in this case you need the your phone's drivers from BLU on your computer, so that when you plug the phone in it is recognized as a BLU Life. Again, I am not sure if there even is an ODIN image for your phone since generally BLU phones are not that popular on XDA, but if there is then follow the instructions and use that to restore back to stock instead of just using a recovery backup.
IF YOU DO FIND AN ODIN IMAGE FOR IT, MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE OF INSTALLING THE "I" VERSION INSTEAD OF THE "A" VERSION! MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT THE ODIN IMAGE IS THE EXACT ONE FOR YOUR PHONE!!!!
EDIT: I just re-read your post and realized I didn't exactly answer your question. Sorry about that.
You should do the ODIN thing I mentioned above, just to make sure that you are on the right baseband. However I do not think this restores your IMEI as well. I Google'd how to restore a lost IMEI on an Android phone and got a couple articles on how to do so. One of these articles tells that CHANGING THE IMEI OF YOUR PHONE IS ILLEGAL!!!!! However It doesn't sound like this applies to you according to what you said, because you are only trying to restore a lost IMEI number, not change an already existing one.
Have a look at this article.
Good luck! :cyclops:

All I'm trying to do is get the IMEI that came with the phone back on it; nothing illegal.
Mobile ODIN is not compatible with my device.
I would like to get back to full stock; can anyone help with that please?
I have seen that SpFlashtool might be useful for me.
The only problem is is that I have no experience with it.
Can anyone give me some pointers on how to use it safely?
I'm not sure if people have any interest in this, but I think I have have the problem resolved.
I flashed octarom_kk_iq4410_v3_fixed which seem to give me a baseband then I used SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1328.0.183 to flash a secro.img.
after all that my imei's were restored.
I think I screwed up big time.
I fist got my GS3 Verizon and rooted with Towelroot. Then I tried installing TWRP. I was unaware of the locked bootloader, and found out about SafeStrap. I never actually uninstalled TWRP. From there, I installed SafeStrap, then I tried installing CM 12.1 and I messed up. My phone won't boot up in any mode other than download mode. When I try to boot in to recovery I will get the "System Software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone." Message. I need to wipe and install stock ROM. Someone please help! (And if possible, maybe someone can walk me through having CM 12.1 on here? I really want it on, but I need a walkthrough)
Thanks guys!
P.S. I am running Android 4.4.2.

Your best bet may be using Odin to flash the stock 4.4.2 ROM.
I bought my i535 (Verizon SGS3/d2vzw) used as a device to develop modding skills. It came with the 4.4.2 rom already installed. I have learned from reading in this forum that options for you and I are very limited. Once your device is restored you can use SafeStrap but not TWRP, CWM, or Philz Recovery. There are only three roms available to us: Stock, SuperLiteRom, and PaulPizz ROM.
@ShapesBlue may have better advice, he actually used this device as a phone and has much more experience with what can be done with the i535 on the 4.4.2 bootloader (NE1)
First of all, thank you for ALL your help! I REALLY appreciate it! You are a lifesaver. Now, my question is, can I flash android 4.2 so the bootloader isn't locked? I know I am being a little picky, but this is the ONLY reason I bought it. But I was thinking, put my phone in download mode, flash 4.2 > root > install TWRP > wipe > Flash CM12.1 > and voila! Would that work, and if so, could you help?

Everything I have read indicates that we are stuck at 4.4.2 and can not downgrade. I didn't read the forums before purchasing mine and have not seen anything saying anyone has safely downgraded, or used any rom other than the three I mentioned.
I guess we could wish for Verizon to release a security update because of stagefright issues. I can dream, but I'm not holding my breath.
Okay, guys, I am starting to lose it.
I am having 0 luck fixing this damn thing. I have tried flshing every android version that exists for this phone and it won't work at all. KIES won't recognize so I used ODIN. ODIN never feels like working so IDK what to do. I used Safestrap to try and install CM 12.1, but it was stuck in a boot cycle, and since I had to use the Safestrap app to launch recovery, I am screwed. There is no way for me to get into my phone, I only have download mode, I need some help guys. What can I do!?!?! I just want anything that will work at this point. Even if I can't get CM12. I think I want to get android working on it and sell it. Pls help!!!

If your device was ever on 4.4.2 you may as well give up on the idea of installing CM 12.1, or any ROM other than the three I mentioned. (If you have found something stating differently please share.)
Some of these threads may be of help:
[GUIDE] Debrick your bricked SCH-I535! [BOOTLOADER/HARDBRICK]
[GUIDE][ML1/NC1/NE1] TW 4.4 and 4.3 Sticky Roll-Up Thread (7-10-14)
[INDEX] TW 4.4 Download List (7-10-14)
That last one is a bit dated but still worthwhile. The second is not quite as dated. The first may be what helps you.
So, I need like, a tutorial or a link on how to fix this. I want to fix my recovery as well if that's possible. Just so I can have stock recovery. If I flash Android 4.4.2 it should fix that though. Plus, a working download link would be MUCH appreciated.
Alright. So, I followed the instructions on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166&nocache=1 and had no luck, when I flash on ODIN, it gets the error when flashing the "aboot". That's when it fails. Any suggestions? I tried deleting it, but 7zip won't let me.

Odin gives an error at that point when you are trying to flash an incompatible bootloader. If you used any rom with a bootloader older than 4.4.2 (NE1) it prevents you from flashing to avoid a bricked device.
Which image did you use from the site you linked?
None of the images from the OP of that thread are for flashing with Odin. They are to burn to an external micro sdcard from which you boot the device and then restore your bootloader, and recovery if necessary.
Please detail the exact steps you performed.
Oh, I flashed an image from something else, my bad on that one. Uh, so I tried putting that thing on my SD card with Win32DiskImager, and every time I do it, after multiple writes and phone boot-ups, I had no luck. It always tells me "Firmware upgrade encountered an error. Please use Software Repair Assistant & try again." So, I don't know what to do. Ad I also wanted to thank you for your speedy replies, I know mine are always delayed, I have finals and stuff, it's hectic. But, I need my phone back already so I'll jump back to reply ASAP! Thanks!

I am not in the least familiar with "Software Repair Assistant." I do know it is a Verizon process. You can give it a try if you wish.
Other than that you are back to the debrick image process. That process can take a number of attempts. You should use either a 16 or 32 GB class 10 card. It sometimes works with a slower card, but best bet is with a class 10. It would be an oddity for something samller than 16 GB to work. Also, you may need to try several cards. A card that works for this in one phone at times does not work in a different SGS3.
Alright, here's what I just did. I needed a new SD Card anyay so I bought a Kingston Digital 16 GB microSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s with Adapter (SDC10/16GB) off of Amazon and it should be here by Thursday. And then, I'll tell you how things go. I am praying this works, because, even though I am getting a HTC One M9 (I'd like your thought on that, if you think it's a good phone to run CM 12.1 off of) I need a phone for now.

A quick check at the VZW development thread for the M9 shows they have root and custom recoveries. A quick glance at a number of the custom ROMs their had all of them based on stock, either saying stock or sense.
Another check at CM shoes development open for the himaul HTC One M9. I don't know which carrier that is for, but it is a GSM device instead of cdma. The AT&T M9 is code named hima so I am not convinced it is theirs.
Otherwise, I don't know much about the M9 outside of what I see in the reviews. Being that my daily driver is still my SGS3, I would think I would be satisfied with the M9 performance.
Well, I am screwed. I tried using my 16GB SD and it didn't work. I did everything right, I don't know what to do. I kinda think flashing something via ODIN would work, but I don't know what to flash. Help?

From what I have read in the debrick threads, you may have to try several cards to find one that works in your phone. Also, it is 16 and 32 Gb class 10/U1 cards that are most likely to work.
So I tried this process with a 64GB Samsung Class 10 SD, and it didn't work. Should I just go with a 32GB or am I going to need a Jtag?

I don't recall seeing anyone report attempting to do this with a 64GB card, not to say it wouldn't work, I just haven't seen anyone saying they tried one.

You may just need a SanDisk version versus the Samsung one. I have ran across threads with people having success with them. Definitely try a 32gb sd card as dawgdoc suggested

Please what's the confirmed rooting method for Samsung galaxy s3 Verizon i-535 running 4.4.2 I tried rooting with towelroot & kingroot, also flashed cwm recovery from rom manager respectively then rebooted to recovery but got black screen with yellow triangle error. I have a friend at the Samsung store in bestbuy that have reflashed the phone twice & is still willing to restore the phone again but I wanna know the working root method for this device without screwing up recovery?
