Hi everyone,
Sorry to ask this question but I'm really in need of help here, I have been reading and trying for the whole week how to install a custom ROM but unfortunately I'm having a hard time, I have an Atrix 4g motorola mobile from AT&T I have rooted and unlocked the bootloader, I have installed the adb also, then I'm trying to install CWM for Atrix 4g but I'm not successful, it looks succesful when I flashboot the device it even showed me "Flashing storemgr 505" then I typed flashboot reboot, hoping I will be able to use Rom manager then when I try to install Greyblur ROM from http://briefmobile.com/greyblur-rom-for-motorola-atrix-4g using the ROM manager(install from SD card), it will reboot and go the the android(exclamation point) logo, without the option of CWM recovery, it has only 4 options which is the default one
wipe data/cache
wipe cache partition
reboot
apply update from sdcard
I don't know what to do now, If I choose the update from sdcard it is saying error "cant open /cache/recovery command".
By the way I have downloaded the file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541 so i don't think the file is the problem.
Thanks in advance.
I would recommend returning to stock firmware(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072) and watching this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHWRdnekvl8
I originally had a lot of trouble too when I got my atrix but that video goes step by step.
What your doing wrong is trying to flash through Rom Manager. You need to reboot into recover via Tenfars CWM app, then flash from sdcard. Do not use Rom Manager it is not ready for the Atrix yet. Use Tenfars and you should have no prob.
Thanks guys appreciate that, I'll try that out and let you know.
Hi guys, I went to flash back again to 1.26 now I was able to install application from non-market apps, and phone is rooted but the issue now is my wifi, since it is restricted here in our country I have followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077329
Before when I was using the 1.86 I dont have any issue following the link above, but now it is not working.
Thanks in advance.

how did you root? If you use Gladroot you can run the "afterupdate" to retain root after updating to 1.86.

Hi,
I forgot the name of the tool if I'm not mistaken it is gingerbreak, I run it on my android phone then, it gave me the superuser.
The phone came with the 1.86 I did not update it, but since It is not working from my country I have to root to install the link above, which is to replace my wifi drivers. Then after replacing I was able to connect from the wireless here.
Now I used the method to flash to 1.26 and rooting using the Gladroot, then using the method on the link above to fix the wifi drivers, I'm not able to connect to my wifi. I don't know what I did wrong here, any help would be appreciated thanks.
So I can use Titanium backup to freeze things to make the battery last longer? I am about to go back to a iphone if I can't get this battery life situation resolved.

I doubt it works. It wont root 2.3.6 so i dont see why it would unroot. If you want to unroot probobly have to odin the stock 2.3.5 tar and take the ota update to unroot
Noob clarification re "internal sd" from Melvins Root guide
When he says " your internal SD",that means NOT the SD card?.. right? Sorry for the request for clarification!
There is an internal 16gb sd card that is not removeable. There is also and external sd slot that is r emoveable

Thanks Silver, perhaps I was not being complete in my question? I know that there are both, but my question was specifically related to rooting. In his post " *Put the Superuser .zip file on your internal SD" from these instructions" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311194".
I think it means that you put the. Zip file on the phones internal memory & NOT the removable SD card?
Yes you are correct sir
Thanks SILVER.... it just seemed a little ambiguous, and for a noob, that could be dangerous. ...you were "thanked" .
Uhm, on Melvin's post of Oct 19th...he says to put the Superuser zip on the INTERNAL SD....BUT on Copperhed's post of Nov 10th....he says to put the Superuser file on the EXTERNAL SD? I would imagine that there is something important about where it is located on the phone?
I was pretty sure that I was not losing my mind, I just had to find where I saw the discrepancy

The GS2 doesn't support booting recoveries via fastboot, so the only way to root (short of using a rooting tool) is to install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM via Odin, and then root the system from within the recovery. You can restore the stock recovery if you want, but I don't know of any other clean methods to root.
Also, you are aware that there is an official (Samsung provided) Jelly Bean ROM for the GS2, right? While that doesn't get you "up to date", it at least gets you on a 4.x stream, which will dramatically improve app support on the Play Store.

There may be a way to install a pre-rooted image from Odin, but most folks do it from a recovery. Fortunately, if you can figure out how to just install the recovery, it will be able to root whatever you have installed, and is a heck of a lot safer than messing with the OS image. Unfortunately, how that happens depends on the recovery, but in most cases it will over you the option to fix the su binary when you reboot.
I won't repeat the steps here, as there are several guides for installing recoveries via ODIN. I will point you to the TWRP repository, however -> https://dl.twrp.me/skyrocket/
So let me get this straight, if I flash a normal stock Rom from a recovery it will automatically root it? What is a recovery? Is that the same thing as download mode? I'll try to find a thread, but of course if u could post a the ad link I would appreciate it.
Hi how to upgrade 2.3.6 to latest version andriod samsung galaxy s2 at&t i727 can u please give me instructions
Hi there everyone,
I have a huge problem. Last night i bricked my xoom. I was following a tutorial on this forum. and after unlocking the bootloader it told to flash a file called boot.img after doing so and typing fastboot reboot, the device wouldnt start behind the motorola logo. i tried allot of thing and also did flash some other stock android 4.0.4 boot.img files now with the last one mentioned i managed to get the xoom (wifi) to boot a little further. because the ripple movie with the motorola logo is shown. but it stucks at that movie.
Does anyone know if i can flash an image on the xoom that will atleast fix the problem of not rebooting so i can try another tutorial.
I have searched the internet for solutions, many of them linked to threads on this forum. but almost all download links in these tutorials are old and broken.
Can someone please help me unbrick my device? And maybe a link to a good working unroot tutorial for my xoom wifi with android 4.0.4.
Try get back to Stock.
Download from HERE
and do some OTA updates afterwards so everything will be up to date.
Then wipe and try again from scratch..
Worked for me perfectly just a few days ago.
If you can still get into fastboot, then its not bricked.
Get some stock images and flash them via fastboot and you'll be fine.

Indeed it worked. i downloaded the official images and flashed them im on android 3.0.1 again and all seems to work just fine now.
Next problem is i cant find a descent tutorial on this forum how to root the xoom. all download links are either removed due to copyright issues or the links are just broken.
How does it work actually?
1. I unlocked the boot loader wich is very easy.
but then? Do i need to flash a rooted image over the existing? i dont really understand how this works. I rooted my Desire HD with a good tutorial in minutes. Not many people seems to really know how to root the Xoom.
Also i would like to know if the different tutorials are for different android versions or can i aply all tutorials of rooting when i stay on android 3.0.1?
I also tried to flash a recovery.img to the recovery partition and press volume down 3 seconds after the moto logo apears but when i do i get an android robot with a big " ! " on his belly and it takes 5 minutes to load the menu. when im in it tells me there is no sdcard present when i try to flash a rooted rom (zip file).
Is there someone reading this thats willin to explain to me how to do a root the easiest way? Please if links are posted be sure everything on that thread is working. Im pretty sure i will pull it off with some push in the right direction.
Thank you!
(edit) omg im stupid, offcourse the sdcard wont work... it never worked at 3.0.1. on the xoom. can i follow this tutorial:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/451-how-to-root-the-wifi-only-xoom-301/
Could someone read over it and see if this is a good tutorial? last time i flashed a boot.img the whole xoom got stuck... is that because i had the wrong boot.img on the wrong android version? or should boot.img always work?
Do you plan on flashing to a custom rom after rooting? If so, you can just skip rooting altogether.
I say this because I'm not particularly familiar with that rooting method you linked (though reading through it, it makes sense, all its doing is pushing the necessary files for root access to the xoom via adb). I used a rooting script flashed through a custom recovery over a year ago - unfortunately the download link seems to be broken (I might have a copy at home).
So there's a few things you can do:
1. If you just want a custom rom - download the rom zip file and store on your device. Flash TWRP (my preferred recovery) in fastboot. Boot into TWRP and flash the rom zip file.
2. If you want stock OS root access -
a) Follow those steps you linked and see what happens. If things go wrong, you should be able to just flash those stock images again.
b) Wait for me to get home and see if I have the root script. You'll need to flash a custom recovery though in order to use it.

Ok thanks for your answer. Ill try to unroot with that method flashing directly to the recovery.img i also know now what i did wrong. i flashed the recovery.img not to the recovery partition but to the boot partition LOL. thats why the xoom didnt boot anymore
I see allot about Nightlies Eos, 4.1.1. is that a good rom? Does it look like the stock version?
eos 4.1.1 is simply awesome and its also pre rooted' so your bootloader is unlocked, all you gotta do now is install twrp recovery via fastboot ( my preffered recovery) then flash eos via recovery

EOS is a pretty AOSP rom. No theme, though you can apply one if you like and change a few colors. There are various toggle additions you can add that make the user experience much better. It also comes with an overclockable kernel and is very very stable (despite being a nightly) The team has been supporting the Xoom for over a year and is very committed to the Xoom.

As for flashing, just gotta make sure your text is good before hitting the enter key. Recovery flash should look something like this:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Some instructions for flashing can be found here
While that page is specifically for locking and flashing to return to stock, the commands are universal for fastboot. Hell, if you wanted to, you could manually restore a nandroid backup via fastboot and flashing images.
Hi,
I'm trying to install the latest version of the ROM Android Revolution, which I found on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694917
My phone is Verizon so I downloaded the zip called "Android_Revolution_HD-One_M8_50.2_76b56b.zip"
But although the installation process runs smoothly and says it worked perfectly... when the phone is rebooted I can't pass from the bootloader screen.
This is my bootloader screen
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwRKcAC_V-OsTEw0d2ZmYml4b1E/view?usp=sharing
Can someone help me figure this out?
Thanks
EDIT________________________________
I've been reading the last 60 pages(or so) in the ARHD thread, and for what I understand some people claim that they've been able to use it on verizon or sprint devices, althought others says that the ROM is not compatible with them... Anyway, I'm having some hope from some posts that claim that to use this ROM with Verizon you have to flash a compatible Verizon Kernel just after installing the ROM and before the first boot.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64435593&postcount=5962, Einwod claims so.
But I have no idea where I can find that "verizon compatible kernel" and how to install it.
Any comments are really appreciated!!!

I hv verizon m8 and i m also on latest version of arhd.
Here is the thing - if u r using GSM SIM go ahead with what i say. If using CDMA then only use verzon compatible ROM.
If u hv MM rom like skydragon, S.ROM or any other that says multi carrier support extract boot.img from that particular rom.zip
Now if u hv twrp
Flash ARHD
Then select flash img in twrp(under install tab)
Select boot.img file it will give 2 options select boot, flash it ur phone will boot up.
If CWM or Philz also works for TWRP
Open arhd rom.zip on pc replace boot.img with that of all carrier rom. Put the new zip file on ur m8 and flash it.
Thts it.
If u cant figure out boot.img part tell me i will provide u with boot.img
Thanks!
I'll check it out and let you know if I have any doubt.

I bought the Samsung J3 Pro from China and it doesn't come with Gapps.
The phone is not rooted and the bootloader is locked.
Here are the steps I took to resolve this and install Gapps, but my stock recovery cannot access external SD card and ADB push. But at least I can use GAPPS.
1. Unlocking Bootloader - You need to CROM to unlock the bootloader. Install this apk.
h double t p s: double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiS4U-ssG4pig6VYE
2. Install Root - Use ODIN （h double t p s :double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTE3Lp1mHOJnAr-r)
and flash this root file under AP (h double t p s: double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTCam_wn2LVf6X8C)
3. Install Super User - If you get boot up after flashing the root access, you are almost done. Install the Superuser.apk . (h double t p s : double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiS-44wy4I0c6UD4e)
4. Install GAPPS - As I can't flash gapps.zip using the OpenGapss due to no access to external SD Card using the stock recovery (no CWM or TWRP for this model) , I use this app from this website (h double t p :double-slashes world wide web.gugeanzhuangqi.com/)
or download apk here (h double t p s :double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTKheRRLQoimhO3a)
I apologise for inconvenient links as this is my first post . I hope the above can help someone ... but I still need some help to enable access to external SD card under the stock recovery, or wait for a proper CWM or TWRP recovery...:good:

Yes a yellow triangle appears on the boot screen. I flashed TWRP, wiped the original ROM and installed a new one that comes with google play by default, google GPS services enabled and has the Chinese bloatware removed, didn't even need the phone rooted. I did however manage to root the phone before, although I can't remember the software I used. I left it unrooted in the end, just because I was happy enough with the system without.

Firstly, I'm going to assume you know how to boot your phone into download mode and that you know how to use ODIN. If not, watch a youtube video, it's fairly simple stuff.
You'll need a decent size of SD card to back up to. I think the original ROM itself is >4GB.
Steps:
1. Flash TWRP using ODIN.
2. BACK UP YOUR FILES (Including system files) USING TWRP TO YOUR SD.
3. Wipe everything except your external SD using TWRP.
4. Flash the new ROM using ODIN, there are four files, one for each section in ODIN.
5. (Optional) Reflash TWRP as the installation of the ROM removes it.
As always, I can't stress enough how important it is to back up beforehand, you are wiping everything that's not on your external SD.
Also note that you have to wipe the old ROM, it doesn't work if you just try to install the new one on top of the old one.
I found the default English keyboard in this ROM had a few mistakes (It's originally a Vietnamese ROM I believe, although it has an English language option), so I downloaded google keyboard from play and that fixed it.
Enjoy

Finally, I flashed TWRP using ODIN first.
Then I flashed SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip using TWRP and installed SuperSU v2.79 after boot on my ROM original of China.
The root works fine but the GPS no longer works and it makes me angry
I used many gps fix and gps test without results :crying::crying::crying:
I'm french so I was afraid that the Vietnamese ROM don't have the French language
Maybe I'll buy a new model to see if root works without problems because I don't know if others have rooted the Chinese ROM Stock perfectly.
I so liked this phone :crying:
Very thanks a lots for your help :good:

No problem. Just so you know, it has all of the major languages. French, Italian etc. I scrolled past them when I was searching for the English option.

1. Unlocking Bootloader - You need to CROM to unlock the bootloader. Install this apk.

2. Install Root - Use ODIN （h double t p s :double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTE3Lp1mHOJnAr-r)
and flash this root file under AP (h double t p s: double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTCam_wn2LVf6X8C)
3. Install Super User - If you get boot up after flashing the root access, you are almost done. Install the Superuser.apk . (h double t p s : double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiS-44wy4I0c6UD4e)
4. Install GAPPS - As I can't flash gapps.zip using the OpenGapss due to no access to external SD Card using the stock recovery (no CWM or TWRP for this model) , I use this app from this website (h double t p :double-slashes world wide web.gugeanzhuangqi.com/)
or download apk here (h double t p s :double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTKheRRLQoimhO3a)
I apologise for inconvenient links as this is my first post . I hope the above can help someone ... but I still need some help to enable access to external SD card under the stock recovery, or wait for a proper CWM or TWRP recovery...:good:

Hi,brother,would you mind tell me how to create the flashable custom root file , which mentioned in your post? i have ever tried many times , to create a custom flashable boot.img, like what you done, but failed to flash it to my SM-j3110 via Odin, i suspect something wrong with the space address of the image file...
Appreciate if you can share with me how to make the flashable custom boot image !! Thanks in advance

I'm sorry, I do not understand what you meant by creating a flashable custom root file. I just used the steps below to enable root so that I can install GAPPS using the 3rd party installer :
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Install the rooted ROM (check only the box "AP" in ODIN)
3. install Superuser
4. Install the apk for GAPPS installation.
You need to follow the sequence.

Just a heads up, I managed to root using ODIN and installed TWRP and have access to external files during recovery. I then installed GAPPS, but still got "Google Framework has stopped working" when trying to sign into Google Play. I'll let you know if I have any more success.

Hi , you managed to find a TWRP recovery for this phone model ?

Finally, I flashed TWRP using ODIN first.
Then I flashed SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip using TWRP and installed SuperSU v2.79 after boot on my ROM original of China.
The root works fine but the GPS no longer works and it makes me angry
I used many gps fix and gps test without results :crying::crying::crying:
I'm french so I was afraid that the Vietnamese ROM don't have the French language
Maybe I'll buy a new model to see if root works without problems because I don't know if others have rooted the Chinese ROM Stock perfectly.
I so liked this phone :crying:
Very thanks a lots for your help :good:
