i already have the previous cwm recovery working(recovery-en-goapk-0625-2034), if i install the new one do i still need to delete the install_recovery.sh

-i already removed it during the previous install
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ronaldo_9:
The back PDS backup does not work for me with the new recovery, i have tried few times and tried with mout internal/preinternal but no joy
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dav5049915:
If people would just read, there shouldn't be any issues. I had gblur and sbfed to 1.8.3 full and followed the fastboot route to install 2.3.4. I spent about two hours reading and collecting the nessesary files. Once I was ready, the process took about 15 minutes WITH restoring my apps and data.

Big thanks to all the devs who've helped make all this work for us "early adopters"
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dincodee:
Dam, I actually flashed both recoveries without removing install_recover.sh. What is the downfall of this now. I guess it over wrote my original recovery

I think my webtop partition is corrupted... I was trying to push the rollup update for HKTW 2.3.4 to my sdcard from adb while in CWM by using adb push Navalynt_HKTW_v1.7_webtop.zip /sdcard-ext/Navalynt_HKTW_v1.7_webtop.zip then I realized that sdcard-ext is not a directory and it sat there for a long time so i unplugged the usb cable. since then this was happening. I can still run GB 2.3.4 and 1.8.3 and flash all other partitions but for some reason I can't flash the webtop partition

can I get any love here? had this posted in general for 2 days with no helpful replies.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Filipeknot:
To install a CWM theme on my atrix, first i need to install this CWM and FLASH the CWM theme right?

My old phone is a HD2, i'm newbie on Atrix! kkk
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Yes, first install CWM (you can either choose this newer fastboot version or the older version that you choose from your launcher and must be plugged into AC power to use - the older seems a little more stable, but I am using the newer one & it works too). Then put whatever flashable .zip you want to install on either the external SD card or internal SD, boot CWM, and select choose .zip to install, find it, flash it, re-boot, and the .zip should be installed.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Filipeknot:
Ok! Basically the same of HD2!

But if i flash CWM RECOVERY MOD on my Stock (rooted) Atrix, it will delete my rom files or my data? Or my phone rom and data will not be changed?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
If your talking about when you install CWM via fastboot, then no, it should not delete anything on your phone at all. After flashing a CWM .zip file, then what ever your flashing will replace whatever it's replacing. :)

i.e. most of the Atrix themes right now (for 1.83) replace the framework-res.apk, so the new framework-res.apk will replace the older one. You should loose any apps or personal files though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Filipeknot:
No, i'm want to know about the CMW recovery. My phone is stock, no CWM installed!

The .zip file don't delete nothing!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
No, installing CWM via fastboot will not delete anything... however, if you want to install the fastboot CWM, you will need to unlock the bootloader, which will delete things.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Filipeknot:
Ohh =/

Thx for help!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Andrew149:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] opsahl:
Can we get flashable updates... Pretty please? :-)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] G-Man.:
You should know better than to ask ?s like that...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
you need moto-fastboot. not the fastboot you unlocked the phone with. and make sure moto-fastboot and dll's are in the same dir as adb and it's dll's. and yes run cmd from that folder. any files you are flashing put them in that folder too so you can eliminate referencing them.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] clark222:
YES, the file and command are in same dir
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Not true at all... you do not need moto-fastboot, the regular fastboot works just fine.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
well you need moto-fastboot to flash pretty well anything else. I just use that. regular fastboot is obsolete to me now
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Paschalis:
I had the prev version of CWM, and i wanted to update to the latest, using moto-fastboot instead of fastboot..

It's very easy.. So i wrote a little guide.. Dont blame me.. Its for new guys like me! ;)

Btw will any future update of CWM, have adb enabled?

eg If we messed up with framework or anything else can cause a soft-brick, then recover using backup files..

1) With Root-Explorer go to: /system/etc/ and remove: "install_recovery.sh" file

2) Download View attachment moto-fastboot.rar, and latest recovery recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.zip

3) Extract contents of moto-fastboot.rar in C:\Windows,

and content of recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.zip in C (for example).

4) Get your Atrix in FastBoot:

................................ a) Turn it off

................................ b) While turning it on, press VolumeDown key

................................ c) Press VolumeUp key

................................ d) Connect your Atrix to your PC using usb data cable

5) Open a cmd (Command Prompt)

6) Enter following cmd commands:

............. a) cd C:\

............. b) moto-fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img

............. c) moto-fastboot reboot

7) Thank Tenfar ! ;)

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gandalf:
i used Root Explorer to remove it and it works fine for me everytime. only problems i run into is installing .zip files because they are still compiled for the old version of CWM that requires you to be plugged in to the A/C Charger, however, that is something that will be corrected over time, so i'm still installing .zip files with the old version for the time being :)

and actually, if anyone knows a fix for that, please let me know!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] munchy_cool:

I have At&t US Model unlocked, rooted, unlocked bootloader

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Already ansanswered...

No, installing this will not wipe your phone, but flashing the unlock bootloader sbf will, which is a prerequisite for this. And, you most likely will only have that file there if you have the older CWM installed. If you don't see it in the specified directory them don't worry, it's not there, thus you don't have to delete it.

Oh, and next time try using the SEARCH BUTTON. That is all.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] climo:
So...I gather this from reading..

you should remove the install_recovery.sh located in your /system/etc only if you installed the older CWM recovery? If you never installed CWM then no worries about deleting file.

Using windows...we should use FASTBOOT and not Moto-fastboot? I was under the impression that Moto-fastboot was for Linux users while Fastboot is for windows. I see success using both options but not sure if users are on linux or windows.

Also, what version/data is displayed on the screen after installing the newest version recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029? As a reference to a good install.

does anybody know what this partition does? or how to clean it up?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
Wrong. You have to use mot-fastboot. Make sure you get the 32bit one if you have 32 bit system. Otherwise 64-bit version. There is a mos-fastbiot for linux and windows

Edit:

Maybe you can flash this with fastboot but you def can't flash boot and system images

Hey guys, I've read this whole thread, looking for the answer to my problem. I see other guys have asked my same question, but there has been no answers. WHERE IS THE INSTALL RECOVERY.SH file? I have used CWM before, flashed HKTW 2.3.4 as well as navalynt's fixes.

I flashed KennethPenn's 2.3.4 rom over the chinese one and got an infinite bootloop, so I have to start all over. But I can't flash the rom now because I get the android and exclamation point. Any help would be appreciated, I know what I have to do but I can't find the file.

Problem on 4.5.91

I seem to be having a problem with the recovery. I am on OTA 4.5.91 from samcripp.

I flash the recovery with cwm from fastboot fine. I can reboot directly from fastboot into the recovery, but when I reboot from android into the recovery it gets messed up. It shows the triangle with the exclamation point, but I can not get it to do anything and end up doing a battery pull. It's the same deal if I flash stock recovery. Works fine initially, but rebooting from android into recovery produces the same thing.

Maybe this is to blame? From http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack%2C_Edit%2C_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images:

"There is also another important file you should know about. In /system/recovery.img there is a full copy of everything that is loaded on mtd1. This file is automatically flashed onto mtd1 every time you shut down. That means two things: 1. Any changes you make directly to /dev/mtd/mtd1 get blown away on reboot and 2. If you want to change /dev/mtd/mtd1 you're probably better off just sticking the image in /system/recovery.img and rebooting. When creating your own custom update.zip files (especially when adapting the stock images), you can get tripped up if you forget to replace /system/recovery.img and it ends up overwriting /dev/mtd/mtd1 unbeknownst to you. Watch out."
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
There's no way you read the entire thread and did not see that answer at least a dozen times. So why not make it thirteen:

The file to delete is in /system/etc

It is only there if you use to use the old version CWM (the bootstrap version).

If you do not see it there, then dont worry about it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] briggie108:
Oh ok. I saw that, but never had to do that with 1.8.3 or the hktw build, so I was a little confused. I was making sure it wasn't something else to do with 4.5.91 before I start deleting things :)

Try shorting the img file name to something like recovery.img

Also, are your fastboot files also in the C:/ ? Or are the in some sub-folder, b/c you need to run the command from where ever you have the fastboot files saved.
