[Q] Problem with installing ROMs on ATRIX 2 - Motorola Atrix 2

I am having problems with flashing any Rom. I was on CM10 and then i flashed MIUI for Asian Retail.I started getting FC issues so i wiped cache and dalvik as soon as i rebooted my phone softbricked! i FxZd the ICS for asian retail and it started working fine,but then on i have tried several different roms but my phone softbricks everytime i flash something new and i have to FXZ back to Stock ICS.
I use AT2 bootstrap recovery and follow the following (Depending on the instructions)
factory/data reset
install from zip
Wipe dalvik cache
also while wiping Dalvik cache i get the following error
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
What could be the reason?Please advise.

Procedure to follow now:
1: Install ICS via RSDLite again.
2: Root
3: Downlaod cm10 and copy to your phone, and install a2 bootstrapper
4: Install zip from sdcard
5: Do wipes if you want..
Procedures if you want to install MIUI, while having CM installed:
1: Install ICS again, via RSDLite
2: Root
3: Download MIUI and copy to your phone. Then, instal a2 bootstrapper.
4: Do wipes.
5: Install zip from sdcard
6: If MIUI fc too much, change the language to another language, and back to your original language again. For expample: If you're using englis now, put chinese, and then, back to enlgish again. That solves the fc problems.
But remeber, in most of the case, to change roms, you'll need to re install ICS again with RSDLite, and then, before installing the rom zip, you'll have to do wipes, because the RSDLite doesn't do it.

And if you were on JB leak and wanted to flash cm10, miui or any other ROMs ( ics and up) available now, you should go back to ICS. Cuz they are all built based on ICS.
So the base should be ICS, or else soft brick.

Rooted
installed A2 Bootstrapper
copied MIUI ROM to the root of the SD Card
Wipe/Factory data reset
Install from Zip
it soft bricked everytime. I tried wiping dalvik as well but all in vain..

Maybe you got a bad download of the MIUI zip file. Maybe download it again and try that.
Sent from this thing.

After you install MIUI, do a wipe data again.
Sometimes that solves the bootloop. In CM happens the same.

NP. i actually had to put mine back to stock a few months ago but i totally forget how i did it now.. i thought my phone was bricked at that point and i was freaking out lol somehow got it working again tho i always keep a backup now just in case :|
I want to make sure I have everything covered here before I do this. I rooted my phone using TWRP & I am using CM10. I want to go back to the original OS but keep it rooted. What is the process exactly that I need to do? I went to this thread and downloaded the file that I needed. My issue is what is the process? Do I move the file onto my phone and FLASH it just like I did with the ROM? Is there anything I need to type in the CMD prompt? If someone could give me some info or point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it! :laugh:
This was my method:
- Download a stock rooted rom
- back up SMS, contacts (super backup)
- back up APS (titanium)
- shut down phone
- boot into recovery
- create backup of entire ROM
- clear cache
- clear system
- clear data
- flash stock rooted rom
- clear cache
- reboot system
- restore apps
- restore contacts/SMS

Sir, a million thank you's. I will do it that way, I just wanted to make sure I had everything set correctly.
I am having a problem, i followed your instructions but when I flashed the stock ROM and rebooted, it just hangs at the HTC screen with the RED lettering at the bottom. What am I missing here?

Before rooting, did you run the 2.20 RUU, and have the newest bootloader? if so, you need to flash the boot.img through fastboot.
If the above statement isn't the case, then try a full wipe and re-flash

To clarify, the step "clear data" is done by selecting "factory reset" in TWRP under "Wipe". Don't wipe SD. You should always factory reset when flashing a new ROM, and also wipe cache and Dalvik.
Flashing a stock rooted ROM is same as any custom ROM. If you had to flash boot.img separately when flashing CM10, you have to do it going to the stock rooted ROM also.

+1. If you had to manually flash boot.img for CM10, you will also have to flash boot.img for your stock ROM. This sounds like your problem.
I also heard that there are some issues with flashing the stock ROM with TWRP 2.3.x--I'm not sure if this is true or not, but it's something to consider.
If you're not getting anywhere, your easiest option would be to just run the RUU. This requires you to re-lock your bootloader first, however (option available in bootloader menu). If you follow this method, you can easily re-unlock your bootloader with the same token from the first time you did it.
For more on running the RUU, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814217
all official twrp versions http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/evita
only versions worth using are 2.2.2.0 and 2.3.1.0 i would save both of them to be able to flash all roms and mods offered for the evita.

(Q) jellybam 1.3 won't flash

Hi guys. Al thou this is my first post I've been flashing my i9003 for a year or so and i've never had any problems until now.
I have an stock gingerbread installed (XXKPQ) that I flashed using odin, kernel version (2.6.35.7-CL709629 [email protected] #1)
Just so you know, I'm from Argentina, and in order to be able to use 3g, had to keep the modem in I9003LUBKB1 version.
I also flashed cf root (by Skin1980) and I'm using CWM v1.80
I get the latest jellybam (1.3) from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1972087
And followed the instructions in the official website : http://www.igio90.net/how-to-install/
Just in case you're too lazy to follow the link here are the instructions:
What to do if you are coming from a Stock, CyanogenMod, MIUI, AOKP and any other custom ROM different from JellyBam
-Download the latest revision of JellyBam ROM for your device
-Place the zip into your internal SDCard
-Boot into CWM recovery (Home+Power+Volume up until samsung logo appear)
-Wipe data/factory reset
-Wipe dalvik cache (Inside advanced tab)
-Install zip from internal SDCard
-Welcome to JellyBam!
(I had to wipe the data first and then put the zip in the sd card because wiping the data was erasing the jellybam zip)
The first time I run the installer it got stuck at 50% while installing sony's media player. So i just started the process again and uncheked sony walkman player, it installed "successfully".
When the phone restarted, it was just the old gingerbread, in the about phone panel, it was all the same that before installing jellybam.
So it obviously didn't installed. I can make calls, send and receive messages, wifi is working fine.
So can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong? Do i have to flash a jellybean kernel?, I dont really know hoe to do that but I'm sure there's more than one post around here that explains that process.
If this question has already been posted I'm really sorry, I did search for any post that could help me with this problem but I didn't find any real answer.
I really hope somebody can help me, and sorry for the bad english, I did study the language but it was a long time ago.
Thanks everybody, specially to developers, you're awesome.:good:
I think you should fist flash theJellyBam v1.1.0 alpha4 in order to repartition before flash the v1.3. hope it can help u.

First of all thank you for your helpful answer (I clicked the thank you button).
I have cwm version 5 and I have been having the same problem than the OP. I'd like to flash a CM rom before going on to JB 1.3 so my question is, knowing that I currently have an I9003XXKPR 2.3.6 rom, can I flash CM 10 or should I start by a previous version? And, if so, which one?
Thank you for your help.

i think you should start from zero. take a backup of your files, flash a stock rom and then use universal cf root to root your phone. then flash cm 10 alpha 4 and then the jellybam 1.3. that's the way i have flashed mine. i hope it helps.

Good luck! i hope you flash it correctly! just read and follow the instructions in the cm10 thread thoroughly so you can avoid any problems.
All custom rom unofficial, not compile, but directly modify our base cyanogen
It is recommended to start on a CM10 origin
Example A3 to A4
KPE> LF2> CF-LF2
Wipe Data / Factory Reset. (MUST DO THIS STEP)
Select the CM10 A4.zip from your SD Card and flash.
Auto rebooted into recovery (if it show error mounting / cache, and cant mount in manually mount and storage, do wipe / cache)
Go to Advanced -> Reboot Recovery
Select the CM10 A4.zip from your SD Card and flash again
Go to Advanced -> Reboot Recovery.
Mounts and Storage -> Format dbdata (you would not find this in CWM so just ignor 6)
8. reboot
You can then flash all based on Unofficial Alpha 4
Just do the basic procedure wipe

Help Please: Infuse steps to custom ROM

First i want to apologize if this has been answered, but i read so many things and maybe just confused myself. My infuse is on stock GB 2.3.6 (not rooted or any data to worry about), my goal is a stable custom ROM like CM10,slim Bean or any stable ROM you can recommend. Is there a step by step sort of a process i can follow to make this simple for a newbie? I am familiar with Heimdall and Odin but not sure where to start.
Thanks and i appreciate any help
First you need to be rooted and then get Clockworkmod cwm flashed! I suggest Enthropy cm9 , scott.hart.bti unofficial CM 10.1+ ROMs or Beanstalk( These are the most stable).
Remember different Gapps (Google apps) for different ROMs. If you already have CWM, then flash Enthropy's cm9 rom first. Then Scott's jellybeans and kitkat Hit thanks button! This is for att and unlocked infuse 4g.For Rogers, it's still the same except the mentioned back to stock tool.
Phase 1:
---------
To obtain CWM head over too Jscotts odin url.
1. download the file which includes root access.
"Stock UCLB3 with root
UCLB3_Unbrick_root_1.1.zip"
2. you will also need Samsung Kies, which will install
the usb driver for your Samsung galaxy. The link is on
the website.
3. Place your phone into Download mode
To do this, have your usb cable for your phone plugged
into the computer but disconnected from your phone.
shut off your phone. When the power is off press Volume
up and Volume down simultaneously, after the buttons
are pressed plug in the usb cable at the same time,
which should be connected to the computer.
This will place the phone in Download mode.
4. open the included Odin.exe, when you see the yellow
bar under ID:COM then everything is good.
Follow the rest of the instructions on jscotts website.
Finally when this procces is done, reboot into android.
Phase 2:
---------
1) Download SGS kernel flasher
2) Click on the link on jscotts website to download a
stock kernel which contains CWM. use "2013.04.30-
CWM-Synthesis-1.2Ghz.zip in the following link:

something is wrong, twice after flashing CM9, i was not able to boot in to the rom, instead it boots to recovery no matter what i did..
and the only way i could get back was to reflash back to stock with ODIN and both times it messed up after i tried to use rom manager to backup the CM9 rom. any ideas?
thanks
NOTE:MAKE SURE U'RE FLASHING EACH ROM WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE GAPPS or you'll get errors!!!If you have a backup of apps and contacts and pics,don't make any further ones.Once u start flashing continue on flashing
If you're back to stock with jscott's back to stock with root tool, before flashing any ROM,u need to flash a CWM recovery first like in the above guide.Then wipe,flash cm9,stuck at reboot,reboot to recovery,format system,cache,data,flash cm9,flash cm9 gapps,wipe cache partition,wipe dalvik cache,back,back,reboot SYSTEM NOT reboot recovery. Now phone is on,just complete the default menus in cm9.Don't adjust any further settings!
Make sure battery life is beyond 40% every time or u're dead!
Reboot to recovery.Wipe cache/factory reset.Flash unofficial cm10.2 (if incompatible/error appears,ignore and flash again) ,reboot system,if stuck at reboot,reboot to recovery again format data and cache, flash cm10.2 (OR BEANSTALK 4.3 ROM), flash CM10.2 GAPPS wipe cache partition and wipe Dalvik,back,reboot SYSTEM. Complete default procedures at start.
Make sure battery life is beyond 40% every time or u're dead!
Reboot to recovery.Wipe cache/factory reset.Flash unofficial CM11 v01/04/14, if stuck at reboot system,reboot to recovery again,format data,cache,flash cm11 again and flash cm11 GAPPS , wipe cache partition,wipe Dalvik cache,reboot SYSTEM.
This should be all the needed detailed steps

Actually, I just flashed KitKat directly from Gingerbread.
1. Flash the ROM from GB recovery
2. It will boot into the ROM, pull the battery and boot into CWM again. Wipe data, cache, etc. And flash the ROM again, but this time flash gapps as well. Wipe again after flashing, then reboot. It worked for me.

Is this method still working for you? I mean any weird issues yet?
I'm not the type that will change thing often so i stayed with 2.3.6 after seeing what i had to go through everytime something went wrong.can the same be done with CM11 maybe?
i might just give it a try
Thanks
Hello, I hope it's okay for me to chime in. I did basically all the steps you mentioned. Using ODIN and pit file to go back to stock -> Flash kernel with CWM -> Install CM9 -> CM10.2 -> CM11.
My problem is the same, I can not boot into any single CM rom I installed even though the installation process completed successfully, even after installing the rom twice. I will keep retrying to ODIN back to stock and get into CM9.

Yeah. Actually, I did it yesterday. It worked fine for me. The last wipe isn't ABSOLUTELY required, but I do it every time (the ROM tends to be a bit buggy then). But yeah, it works. Make a backup of apps and whatnot, wipe data, cache (you don't have to wipe dalvik cache), install the ROM, reboot (if it doesn't automatically), install ROM, GApps, wipe again and reboot. And your done! Lemme know if it doesn't work.
I followed this instruction to get into CM rom. Apparently, after flashing the rom, I have to not do anything and immediately reboot and let it stuck at the kernel screen. My mistake was wiping or flashing before rebooting.

It definitely is slower than my N4, but I can't wait to load some FLAC to it and enjoy the Wolfson DAC. I was going to repurchase the Samsung Captivate again, but I saw this model with larger screen and 0.2ghz faster so I went with it.

I strongly recommend to first go to CM9 to update the CWM. These are the instructions of the ROM developer who knows what he is talking. It takes less than 5 minutes to flash cm9 from stock GB with red CWM.After cm9, CWM will be blue, then flash again followed by cm9 gapps, wipe partition, reboot system(follow previous guide). Then flash CM11 with cm11 gapps(choose Paranoid Android mini modular gapps).
In all will take less than 10 minutes to flash cm9 and cm11. After flashing each ROM, do only default procedures and nothing else and flash again
Flash CM9 first!!!
The partition alert is normal. Just install ROM again with specific gapps

U are on cm11. If you are not getting any errors, enjoy it. If any future problems,a reboot of phone is sufficient. Any big errors or heavy battery draining, then just flash cm11 ROM and gapps again followed by wipe cache partition and wipe Dalvik cache.
For backups, if you want to have game and apps data stored for easy restore, use titanium backup pro and if u can't afford it, I regret to say, but side download it

There are alternatives like Helium and Super Backup. I don't really use Titanium Backup myself.

I tried to install kitkat 4.4.215 from GB CWM and i got a warning saying that partitions are incompatible and that all data will be wiped etc, should i proceed? all data has been backed up but is the partition warning something to worry about?
Thanks

No. That is normal. When you try to flash the ROM again, it will reboot automatically. It will bring you back to an updated blue CWM. Then just flash the ROM and GApps and wipe. Then reboot. Hope that helps!

ok thaks i will try again....but what about the instruction in....
Instructions
Quote:
- To avoid any problems, I suggest you flash coming from Stock ICS or Stock JB...Coming from ICS is easier though ( .31 FW)
- Root your phone and install a recovery ( ICS RECOVERY IN 3RD POST )
NOTE: ICS REVOERY IS DIFFERENT FROM JB RECOVERY ( JB CWM here: Click Here! ) ( Use that if COMING FROM JB otherwise use the ICS recovery )
- Copy the ROM to your SD Card ( External )
- Boot into CWM ( volume down/up button like up-down-up-down )
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset then Wipe Cache Partition
- Navigate to advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Format /system ( ONLY SYSTEM )( V4 and V5 only ) ( no need for V4.1 and Below )
- Install/flash the ROM and install/flash the Rootfix.zip
- Navigate to Advanced and Fix Permissions
- Flash the .31 Kernel provided in downloads
- IF COMING FROM ICS ONLY DO NOT POWER OFF YET !!!!
- Remove Battery then put it back again
- Flash the .31 Kernel ( download in links ) using flashtool ( UNTICK FINAL DATA VERIFICATION )
- Done and Enjoy the ROM
step no 7 Navigate to Advanced and Fix Permission ....after this what should i do? go to reboot or just pull out battery before flashing (flash the .31 on no 8 step) this where i getting confuse
Try both

hmm....look I have not tried this ,the Normal method is to flash kernel and reboot then install rom
So I would recommend u to try both
After "fix permission" I removed the battery and then used flashtool to flash the. 31 firmware.
It worked fine.
Sent from my ST26i using xda app-developers app
Have you try this:
-First install .31 (JB) stock ROM, then install the recovery
-The open the recovery and Wipe Data/Factory Reset then Wipe Cache Partition
-Next, go to advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Format /system and then flash the ROM and the rootfix.zip
-Then fix permissions
Hope it worked on you! Good luck :victory: !

For a while, I wasn't sure if scott.hart.bti even made a CM10.0 ROM. According to the changelog in this link, one existed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776129
Unfortunately, all that is available now is CM 10.1 and 10.2. 10.0 may have been removed because it seems (based on the Q&A thread), CM10 used 4.1.1 (the version affected by Heartbleed), not 4.1.2.
If you want to stick with CM 10.x, I would recommend 10.1. Here is the process (from Gingerbread):
Obtain CWM, this can be done using Jscotts Odin back to stock (Follow instructions and use SGS kernal flasher to obtain CWM)
Run Qksters IMEI backup script here
Make certain you are on ICS, this can be done by flashing Entropy's CM9
It is recommended now that you remove your SD Card
CWM: Wipe Cache / Factory Reset
Install ROM: Scroll down for downloads section
... The package will start to install..
... Phone will reboot into the install screen again...
... Continue to install [Automatically] If not manually flash again
... Phone will reboot again and be at the recovery screen...
Install Gapps
CWM: Wipe Cache Partition
CWM: Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache

I am assuming you already have Slim Bean installed. Here's the thread to download:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34430995
To update, all you really need to do is download the final image, save it to the SD card, flash it with CWM/TWRP then clear the dalvik cache.
Don't think there is a need to flash gapps as well since you are not factory resetting in this case. Unless your current version of Slim Bean is not 4.2.x, then you will need gapps (and even then a factory reset would be recommended).
If you are looking to install from scratch, the guide above (in my previous post) is pretty standard (looks to be the same was what is provided in the link).

No kernel necessary. Just need CWM to start with (can access by performing the "three-finger-salute" - that is, while holding both volume keys, press the power button), and flash (install from zip) Entropy's CM9 with it's respective gapps. That will bring you to ICS and the right version of CWM (Blue I think). You are free to then flash Slim Bean.
Hope this explains better.
