Baby Steps

This is as NooB as it's gonna get right here:

1) Unlock your bootloader first:

See Here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261

2) Keep the fastboot files you used to unlock your bootloader. Do not delete them, you will need them forever!

3) Use Root Explorer or some other file explorer app to navigate to: /system/etc. Look and see if there is a file there named "install_recovery.sh" If it is there, then delete it. If it is not, then you are ok to proceed to the next step.

4) Download the recovery-en-goapk-0625-2034.zip from the OP.

5) Unzip the .img file to the same place that you have your fastboot files saved.

6) [This step is not needed, but will help in the long run to prevent typos, etc.]

Rename the .img file to recovery.img. Do not change the file extension.

7) Put your phone in fastboot mode, by powering off, and while powering back on, hold the power button and volume down. When your screen says fastboot, press the volume up button to enter fast boot mode.

8) Plug your phone into your computer.

9) In what ever location that you have both the fastboot files & the .img file saved, hold SHIFT and right click, and select Open command window here.

10) Type the following cmd: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

*Note: Yes, recovery is there twice, b/c we renamed the file to recovery.img. Otherwise you would type: fastboot flash recovery recovery-en-goapk-0625-2034.img

11) Should install in a couple of seconds.

12) Once finished, type "fastboot reboot" to reboot your phone.

13) To enter CWM recovery, power off phone, power back on while pressing the power button and volume down until you see fastboot, then press volume down until you get to Recovery, then volume up to select.

I can make it no more simpler than that. If this doesn't work, then you did something wrong or your device is broken and you should throw it away. :)

If something goes wrong, let us know which step you had a error in, so that we can better help you.

Please just point people/noobs to this post if they have installation question in the future.

When deleting system recovery file it says its read only and can not be deleted. Solution?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] filmusikat:
So...I did this...and when I went into recovery mode, an exclamation point showed up with a little android guy.... =/

What should I do now?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
If you're using Root explorer, press the little "Mount R/W" button on top. Now you can delete.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Someone (perhaps in the OP?) should mention as well that the blablabla SOS message at the end of the flashing process actually means that it has installed. I must have (correctly) flashed the damn thing 10 times until I realised that..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] donharden2002:
Tried, this is what I have in my file and what I get in my cmd window.

Can't figure out where I'm going wrong.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Diviance:
See that file named recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img?

Rename it to recovery.img

Try again.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
I'm assuming you actually renamed the file to recovery.img? b/c the first screen shot still has the original file name for the .img file. Other than that... is your phone in fastboot mode; i.e. you selected fastboot by pressing volume up?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] donharden2002:
fastboot

phone is in fb mode and tried renaming file, for the life of me I cant figure out why it wont flash.

Running out of ideas.

Thank you for helping I really appreciate it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] donharden2002:
got it

Got it, just a matter of getting everything properly named. Thank everyone for helping, I greatly appreciate it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] versd:
I stupidly went ahead and flashed the new version of cwm without being able to delete the install-recover.sh file in the system/etc folder.

and now i am stuck at the M sigh (with unlocked in the corner), I can flash new roms but i cant get past this logo.

I can enter fast boot and recovery etc. but none of the ROM's work!!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
if you can get into rsd protocol mode, you can flash sbf
[Atrix 4G Android Development] versd:
sorry! newbie question, how do i do that??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] andrx:
with motorola driver and RSD lite
[Atrix 4G Android Development] versd:

Can this be installed thru terminal emulator? If what are the commands?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] djsaad1:
Is there a reason the old versions are still on the first post? I soft bricked my phone because I didn't see the link for the 6/30 version. After not understanding why my flashes were not working I ran out of battery and had to take apart a usb cable to charge my battery up again.

It would be pretty helpful if you clean up the first post and just leave the latest version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Julian713:
So I did the fastboot and was able to flash the recovery got the sos message at the end so i knew i did everything correctly. However, when I restarted the phone and held down the power botton and vol down and the pressed vol down till i saw Android Recovery (didnt see anything just said "recovery") and then pressed Vol up, I just get the triangle with the exclamation mark and little android monster. CWM didnt load up. I'm trying to install the 2.3.4 (the briefmobile linked file).

What am I doing wrong.

My bootloader is unlocked
[Atrix 4G Android Development] waqy.:
rm the "install recovery.sh" from /system/etc

That he does! He's a nice guy. :)

-Mike
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
Not to sound like a noob, which I am not since I have been messing with Android phones for a while and I understand how everything works.

I updated my phone and it was stock 2.3.4 and I rooted the phone without realizing it's not unlocked first. I installed sbf, did oem unlock and see the unlocked in the top left corner. Did the root using preinstall tools and I have superuser isntalled. I also deleted the install-recovery file from /system/etc/ and then ran fastboot for which my screenshot is below:

The options I see after reboot arE:

Fastboot

NvFlashBP HW Bypass RSDBP HW Bypass QC DLOAD

BP HW Diag & Boot AP

BP HW Bypass BP Only

BP SW Bypass RSD

Android Recovery

Boot Android (No BP)

Device UID

console=ttyS0, 115200n8

Early USE Enumration

BP Tools

RSD

and then back to fastboot.

I followed the same steps I have always followed and it is just not working this time. Any suggestions?

What is not working? Choose Android Recovery, that's your CWM..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
Oh...sorry, my bad. I should have tried that before asking a question. I know better but it's Monday...I don't want to be at work.

Anyways, thanks a lot...it worked like a charm...now off to find roms and stuff..haha
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Have fun, thread carefully.. ;)

for some reason when i try to fastboot this it says can not load any one know how to get around this ? And is there another way to load this maby with terminal or something?

Ok got it figured out now ... thank for the help
[Atrix 4G Android Development] spx2000:
Thanks for work, however the work is not done yet

Please remove 6.24 6.25 links now that you have 6.30. This is especially true when 6.25 doesn't work with any of the 2.3.4 roms. Leaving it up is just making it easier for people to make mistakes.

Also 6.30 looks exactly like 6.25 even the version number says 4.0.0.2 on the top. Please fix that as people will be able to tell which version they are on easily

Again thanks for your work. This cwm made the ATRIX scene possible along with others contributions
[Atrix 4G Android Development] luv2vexx:
I did everything as instructed but when i go into android recovery - it comes up with the triangle and explanation mark
[Atrix 4G Android Development] andrx:
Please Remove install_recovery.sh located in your /system/etc/ ,so that the recovery will not be overwrite to stock one.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] s1mpd1ddy:
You'll need root explorer to do that ... I tried using file expert and astro file manager, neither gave me the r/w option
[Atrix 4G Android Development] luv2vexx:
i have no such file there. i have used root explorer and checked in my system file and not there. I have no previous version installed.

EDIT: IT APPEARS AS IF MY PUDDING FLASH WAS NOT EFFECTIVE. I DID IT USING FASTBOOT AND ALL IS WELL NOW. I WILL KEEP THE ORIGINAL ERROR CODE BELOW FOR REFERENCE. SORRY TO DIRTY THE THREAD!

Sorry to add another noobish question to the thread, but I could really use some help here. I can't seem to get CWM flashed during fastboot. I'm running 1.8.3 already pudding'ed. Assuming the pudding flash was successful (any way to check?) I proceeded to use the fastboot files from the pudding page and followed the noob guide that has been quoted here multiple times (i'll quote it again at end of my post). Here is my command prompt error:

C:\Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (4598 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.284s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: (00180002))

finished. total time: 0.346s

My phone shows:

Flashing partition recovery (white text)

Flashing MBR to device (white text)

Failed to process command flash:recovery error(0x180002)

Any tips? I'm dying to get a functional unlocked CWM so I can fruitcake around!

Thanks guys,

-omni
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rynosaur:
I'm in the same boat! I just got this phone and I've never seen so many threads on XDA with people promising something works 100%--and it doesn't. I guess this Atrix is must be a tricky little bastard, this is my fourth Android model and I will be surprised if I don't brick this thing in the first 24 hours I have it powered on!:D

NEWS FLASH!! I got CMR4 to stick by booting into fastboot and manually wiping then reflashing each partition, and our friendly dev's CMR4, obviously. Needless to say, I'm sure most of those partitions were fine, and of course now all I have is a perfectly working CMR4 :D, but hey....I didn't really buy this phone for any other reason than having a dual-core powered clockwordmod recovery, and until someone ports CM7 to the Atrix, the less time I spend around blur, the better I feel ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] smohk:
When I try to enter andoird recovery I get a

magic value mismatch

then nothing. Battery pull and then phone boots up as normal. What am I doing wrong? Thanx much

edit: forgot to mention I've tried installing this twice.

edit 2: Fixed. dl'ed file with firefox and reapplied. Worx now.

You have to remove install-recovery. Sh from /system/etc, and then do the process again

So I heard in another thread recently that the backup/restore functions of this CWM don't work properly? Is this true? Or maybe I'm remembering this wrong...

The following message is normal in Android Recovery, so move on and enjoy

I can confirm that its not working properly. it successfully completed a back up but i played with gingerbread a bit and then tried to restore my 1.8.3 back and it did restore but everything is backwards (mute unlocks and unlock mutes on the lock screen,icons don't line up with there apps ect...)

"Error deleting file"

Thank you so much tenfar :)

When I navigate to install-recovery (through Astro file manager, not adb or a terminal app) I get an error message after selecting install-recovery and hitting delete: "error deleting file." I sent install-recovery to my dropbox account first, just in case I need a copy for later, and that worked fine, but deleting it does not work. I am wondering if this is because it is a read only file and Astro doesn't have su privileges? When I had to use terminal emulator to unlock the bootloader I could just type "su" and superuser popped up, asking if I could give the rights, but I don't know how to give the Astro app su.

Perhaps this will also create an error message, but can I just rename the file to something else instead of deleting?

I can confirm that I'm rooted and have an unlocked bootloader, I did all the steps (which have taken me 5-6 hours so far - I am NOT familiar enough with all this but I'm so detemined to get 2.3... I'm learning bits here and there though) for when booting up my phone now it says "unlocked" on the top, and I have rebooted several times... I don't know how to delete it.

I have been trying my best, but I'm so close now, and this is stopping me, so if someone could please give some advice I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Great, so what can be done about that? Tenfar hasn't been here in like half a month, so it doesn't look like he's working on a fix.

I wonder if anyone else is able to?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rynosaur:
I appreciate TenFar giving us something to work with and use, but as far as CMRecoveries go, this one has a high occurrence of bugs and a low expectation of reliability (which is NOT normal for a koush-derived recovery).

Jakew02 and I have started work on a proper CMR4x. Join us if you dare, we're both amateurs (I know I am).

Soon enough, beta testers will be needed as well!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
I agree, I must say that I am thankful for what Tenfar has done. I mean, everything else works in CWM..except the recovery part ;)

Thanks for putting forth your time and effort to work on a proper one however! Let us know your progress
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Deggy:
Anyone know how to make CWM stick? I keep getting the stock recovery unless I reflash through cmd.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] IrshaadH:
How long are NAND backups supposed to take? I selected backup in recovery and it's been stuck on a black screen with some URL in the middle for the past 15 minutes.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mysticdrew:
Did you follow this step?

3) Use Root Explorer or some other file explorer app to navigate to: /system/etc. Look and see if there is a file there named "install_recovery.sh" If it is there, then delete it. If it is not, then you are ok to proceed to the next step.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scott8281:
Yea, I hear ya..I haven't heard anything about a fix so far and he said he tested backup but did not test restore (figures lol) Either way If i decide to flash motos 2.3 ill definitely have to theme it. Just when i thought motorola couldn't make blur any more hideous they released 2.3! I can't wait for CM7 or a good asop build of 2.3
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Deggy:
TBH, I looked around for it and didn't find it. So I assumed I didn't have it. Then I found out that Root Explorer had a search function and lo and behold, there it was.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mysticdrew:
Cool... so did that fix your issue?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Deggy:
Yeah it fixed it. Now my problem is getting root to work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raymasky:
Do you have to reboot into fastboot support mode to flash this ? i.e

Power down your Atrix device

Hold the power button and the downward volume button until you see “Fastboot”

Let go of the buttons and press the upward volume button once

You will now see “Starting Fastboot protocol support”
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raymasky:
Are recoveries backward compatible ? i.e can i flash an older recovery (25/6) if i have already flashed a newer one (30/6)? i need to do this because the Multi-touch-points zip file wont flash with the new recovery as it uses an old scripting method. PLEASE HELP !!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phaijai:
Appreciate the efforts of the dev community. I have a quick question. I got the CWM recovery and AT&T Gingerbread Beta 4 up and running. I know for certain Recovery is there because of my ability to enter on start up and flash ZIP files.

My question is that when I power down the phone, I don't see the option for "reboot" or "recovery". Is that normal or am did I miss something in my flashing process?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mramirezusa:
The reboot and recovery option on the power menu is due to a hack in the frameworks, the reason you had it before I bet you were using some of the old seudo-roms from Kenneth or Ririal right?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mramirezusa:
Yes is normal
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phaijai:
Excellent. Thanks for responding.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rynosaur:
Let it be known that a bone-stock CWM Recovery is now on ROM Manager and it is awesome. It's a missing a few things Tenfar's recovery has: PDS Partition support, internal/external sd switching -- but, it has that solid, powered by Kousd feeling ;)

Thanks very much to DesignGears for getting it compiled and for everyone who tried to help me and Jake and Eclipse get out own recoveries done. If it had been just me, we wouldn't have gotten clockwork until AT&T was ready to rename itself Cingular again ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nowise:
Has anyone tried using this yet? I installed it and the latest recovery but it doesn't seem to be doing a factory reset properly.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
Only that hardly anything works in it. It doesn't wipe any partitions. So pretty well useless for installing roms as of yet
[Atrix 4G Android Development] munchy_cool:
Those who are trying the new recovery from koush, would be great if you report the bugs to him directly.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MrCoolBear:
Question

In CMW when you make a backup does it backup my apps, or only the rom?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
Backs up everything. Basically images your whole system
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MrCoolBear:
does it also rewrite your internal sd card? because if so it would be possible to lose a future backup in CWM if your reverted to a previous one. Its makes my head hurt. Also, in the official CWM included in Rom Manager, it will not let me flash gingerblur-bloat-restore because it says it no longer supports amend scripting. Would this also affect themes that use amend scripting? And thanks everyone for your help :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
No it doesn't touch that partition. You should never lose anything from the internal sd card.

It won't work with the older zips with amend scripting either. You would have to install tenfar's old bootstrap recovery for that
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Will of fire:
im sorry for posting this dumb question but what is the command i need to use in cmd to install this using fastboot. I have the old recovery before i unlocked my bootloader. Thanks in advance
