i recommend you unzip the img to the folder where you have your fastboot files, and rename it to "recovery.img"

if both those things are done, then the command is

moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Does anyone know if anyone has released a vannila gingerbread (2.3) for atrix yet, cause I would really like to flash that!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] munchy_cool:
as of now no.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MrCoolBear:
That sucks :( I would even be happy with a 2.3.4 gingerblur...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] munchy_cool:
we have custom 2.3.3 ROMS,
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jbrussee:
Munch, we don't have 2.3.3 roms.. we have 2.3.4 Roms. And to aosp android, get ninja

i have removed install_recovery.sh located in my /system/etc/ and installed the cwm recovery at least 10 times but itt still gets over written by stock recovery?

any ideas
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Check the theme section, there are some AOSP themes (that look just like Gingerblur) to use on the 2.3.4 ROM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] freretox:
Thanks and great job, but im on Motorola Atrix Orange FR 2.3.4 Unlocked, not AT&T.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
yes it does.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
Can somebody make a zip of this recovery that is flushable with koushs recovery?

Edit:

New CWM not support external Sd!? :O
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chuckyd:
Yes I have also noticed there no option for ext sdcard its automaticly choosing intrrnal storage I used rom manager to flash recovery
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PakaPakaxz:
Why is it bad to use the internal storage?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chuckyd:
Im not sure I just find it easy'r to flash from ext sd card
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
its not so much the "new" CWM, just a different permutation made by a different dev, it isn't really complete yet. it will have ext-sd capabilities with an update coming soon enough. many people prefer to just use this for now though, until all the kinks in the recovery with ROM manager are worked out

For some reason, when I install the recovery, I can use it, then when I reboot a few times, I get back the original Android Recovery. Any ideas why it wont stick?

I deodexed and its the same, it wont stick, reverts to original.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] edgeicator:
I had this problem too. Delete the install_recovery.sh in system/etc
[Atrix 4G Android Development] princeandy63:
Thanks, I'll try it out, also do I have to flash the CWM once more after deleting the file?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MacAlert:
Quick question.....I was unlocked on 4.1.83 and updated to 4.5.91 the other day. Do I install this recovery or the old one?

Sorry for the noob question!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] WTFsandwich:
I'm a bit confused by the how to install instructions. Could someone elaborate? Do I need the SDK or other software for flashing this? All I've ever done before was flash CWM to an Aria, which is pretty much foolproof since it's all automated, so this is over my head a bit. Any help would be great, thanks.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jesus_Chris:
after flashing the .sbf pudding from 7/23 than preinstall rooting, i tried to boot into recovery and after it said entering recovery my phone stayed at the triangle with an exclamation mark with the android, which usually means something went wrong, i need a bit of clue to head in the right direction
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mramirezusa:
Try to press both vol up+vol down at the exclamation mark screen and check if actually boot in recovery after that?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] edgeicator:
Exclamation mark means stock recovery. You need to delete the install_recovery.sh from system/etc and reinstall the recovery. People really need to read the first post thoroughly. That file will reflash the stock recovery on every boot.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bamastang:

just read this http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html (see at the bottom supported device)

is it ok to use this to flash all roms that floating on atrix forum? or i should use tenfars only (sigh...... i have no luck flashing it)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xploited:
As far as I know, the one from koush doesn't support the external sdcard yet.

So, I would strongly recommend using tenfar's.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nalomo:
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I'm on the OTA 2.3.4. I tried flashing tenfars recovery via fastboot method and received an error "failed to write" something something.

I had ROM manager previously on kennpenn's build and was able to get into CWM recovery that way w/out any problems. I try to do it now and it says "failed to boot 2, starting RSD".

I can pull the battery and start up normal w/out any issues, i.e. use the phone just like normal.

I'd really like get a version of CWM on here, be it tenfars or whatever but I can't. Am I missing something? I've searched many threads and i'm still lost. If someone could dumb it down for me, I would appreciate it.

Here is what I'm working with:

Previously unlocked using Rom Manager CWM. I'm i'm basically relocked on the 2.3.4 OTA and rooted.

Again, thanks to whoever can chime in and help.

edit: ugh, nevermind. i believe i have to flash the pudding sbf to unlock. duh, i can't read for ****.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mramirezusa:
; Yeap you left pudding out of the picture
[Atrix 4G Android Development] brd912:
Fastboot has become as easy as odin for Samsung was for me, but when u flashed the latest one,it said error mounting sd card
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dhatch93:
OK - I know this is probably something stupid I'm missing, but any theme I try to install now doesn't work. I was switching between a few themes (designed for 4.5.91) and it was working fine (mostly by Nottach), but now any theme I install thru the recovery doesn't do anything even though it shows installation completed. I've searched but didn't see anyone else mention this. I've tried clearing the cache & dalvik but no help.

Again I'm sorry if this is something simple that I've missed or not doing correctly. But like I said it worked a few times but now doesn't. I even tried Nottach's Uninstall zip to go back to the stock 4.5.91 notification bar but that didn't do anything either. I thought I'd post/check here first since it's not with just one theme not installing.

Well, I installed the Alien rom & it seems ok now. Not sure what happened...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] muz_aj:
can some one please tell me what is the latest version of the recovery for the atrix?

because the version I downloaded from here says 4.0.0.4, and the one I downloaded from the rom manager says 4.0.1.4! which one are we supposed to use?!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DeathKoil:
I've seen some conflicting information in this thread and have a question.

Is the newest version of CWM capable of doing a backup and restore without screwing up the PDS and thus breaking the touchscreen?

I did make a backup of my PDS using "dd" just in case, but I'd really like to know before I even bother with a backup/restore if the latest CWM works for this.

how can i delete install_recovery.sh i can't move that file or delete it...it says "error deleting files" I have tried Astro file manager and file explorer....my phone is rooted...any suggestion....thanks in advanced
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ChongoDroid:
I have a serious problem guys.... so I was on tenfars because the official one sucks... anyways I went to boot into recovery as normal (was planning on wiping bat stats) and I selected recovery and pressed up as usual except this time it just started rebooting instead of booting into recovery.... I found this very unusual so I tried again... turned it off tried to boot into recovery and then it would reboot. After the 6th try, I thought hey if I can get into any kind of recovery I'll be able to restore.... every time I tried to download rom manager from the market it would reboot.... finally I got it on there and flashed the recovery and now I can't fastboot the working tenfars recovery.... I am so worried guys... I have never seen fastboot tell me that its working only to find the rom manager version still on there. Usually if fastboot ****s up it has some kind of error or something... this just tells me that it flashed fine and when I fastboot reboot it hangs.

EDIT: Woooo Thank god... it was just user error... I was so used to flashing kernels I kept fastboot flash boot recovery.img instead of flash recovery... I have never been so happy to be an idiot
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rickroller:
Ok..this is annoying..I can't get this zip file to unzip. When I try to use winzip it says it can't unzip iso img's. When i try to use ISO it tells me there is no image to unzip! I don't want to unlock my BL yet until I can figure this stupid problem out. Anyone know why this is giving me grief? Am I supposed to download it to my SD card rather than my desktop?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
you unzip the file, then you're left with a .img file. leave the img file in the folder where your moto-fastboot files are saved on your PC. after this open command prompt in that folder, and use the command moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
If you donwant to unlock your bootloader, you can't flash this recovery

[Atrix 4G Android Development] wintermute000:
can I safely flash this over an existing CWM (4.1.04, its orange font, not entirely sure what it is - I used the auto script in the general forum)?

Also are there step by step instructions somewhere, the first post isn't very detailed esp on the deleting install.sh bit
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
Yes the orange font one is koush's recovery. You can flash this one right over it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wintermute000:
Cheers so simply below? (sorry for n00bish question) in fastboot mode of course

'fastboot flash recovery recovery-the-file-youdownloaded####.img'

Also I'm confused re:the install.sh file. Mine exists and I haven't touched it, yet my recovery remains on Khoush's fine, it doesn't auto overwrite back to stock, however I thought unless you delete it it will auto overwrite back to stock?!?!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
Delete it anyway. I haven't had the problem others had but I could never find the file either. Delete it for good measure, I don't think it will hurt. And yes fastboot flash recovery as usual

ok guys i need some help. i unlocked the phone and tried following the directions for installing this, but i just dont get it. could someone please give me a step by step how to as to do this? THANKS also, could you make it as idiot proof as possible, i hate how the info here is not well-organized. i thin the mods should consolidate all info in the OP.

THANKS AGAIN!

phone is in fast boot protcol support mode and i have the files for fastboot and i entered the right commands here is what i did:

fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029

and it says it cant load, yes it is in the c:\ root folder.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] foreverzero89:
also how do i delete the install_recovery.sh? it doesnt say how to do this, another thing to be put in the OP.

as well as tried the moto fastboot, that just didn't give me the commands.

ok now i think im royally screwed. i cant get my phone to turn on at all with the power button. i can get it to turn on through the power cable, but when i unplug it, it turns off.

and the weird thing was, i didnt do anything, i had just had the phone in fastboot mode hooked up to the comp and the phone just shut off. now it wont do ****.

HELP!!!!

hmm i guess for some reason it messed with my battery, good thing i have a spare
[Atrix 4G Android Development] foreverzero89:
getting tired of seeing "cannot load blah blah blah".
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wintermute000:
I'm not sure how/why you got into this situation (low battery?) but the syntax is

moto-fastboot.exe devices <--- this checks your drivers etc. are correct

moto-fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img

(rename the file to recovery.img thats what I did)

If above fails check your drivers
[Atrix 4G Android Development] foreverzero89:
also trying to get back int my phone to delete that file but i cant get my data to work. WHAT THE HELL?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] foreverzero89:
that is what i get

i have done everything by the book an still i get

error: cannot load 'C:\recovery.img'

have tried both moto-fastboot and the regular one.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] foreverzero89:
now i have root explorer but now it wont let me mount r/w to delete the install_recovery.sh!!!!!! this is begining to piss me off!!

well i was able to delete the install_recovery thats in the /ect folder, but the one thats in the system/ect is still there!!!! how do i do this!!!

edit: had the wrong version of rot explorer
[Atrix 4G Android Development] foreverzero89:
couldnt do this via fastboot, so i got CWM via rom manager.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] foreverzero89:
ok i did this on my work computer(changing nothing that i did) and it worked like a charm(WTF?!)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Komodo Rogue:
If you use the CWM from ROM Manager on the market, make sure that you download tenfar's recovery .zip file, and install THAT recovery (Tenfar's) from the ROM Manager. Apparently ROM Manager isn't fully working with Atrix yet; it doesn't wipe the memory or something?

I don't quite understand it but I read somewhere in this thread that ROM manager's CWM for Atrix does NOT work for this ROM! Just a heads up :)

EDIT: haha nevermind, I thought I was in the Alien ROM thread, not Tenfar's CWM! Installing Tenfar's through ROM Manager worked perfectly for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scotty7910:
been having problems installing the cwm made by tenfar made flashable by helix?anyway I can select and flash ok but cannot seem to enter recovery from there no matter what,i dont get the options I did before it just says entering flash protocol and no options appear to scroll up and down through.so i ended up back on the rom manager one.Anyone have any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vicious Von:

i used this recovery to backup my rom!

and now when i restore that , i get nothing except boot loop! :confused:

can i restore my rom with the new recovery?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
You need to factory reset before restore.

If you are restoring a different rom than previously installed, i always needed to factory reset, restore, factory reset, restore. In that oder to make sure everything was working correctly.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Haphim:
Hi, guys! I am completely new to CWM, never used it before. I've read through this thread, and had some basic questions (not ones that I've seen answered here, I promise!), that I was hoping someone could help me with...

Okay, my understanding is that CWM lets you backup and restore your system, as well as install new ROMs, and that ROM Manager allows you to manage the ROMs you've got stored and ready to be installed/restored. Am I right so far?

Okay, so that being said - what exactly is it that this thread offers? What is a recovery mod, and how does it fit with CWM and ROM Manager?

Also, while I understand the instructions on how to install this mod, I don't know where that fits with CWM and ROM Manager. Do I install those two via the Market first, and *then* install this mod?

And I saw some posts further in that suggested that this mod can be installed via ROM Manager. Does that mean the instructions by Swiftks are no longer the best way to do this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Check out the CWM Based Recovery by RomRacer in this section... much better IMO. And see my instructions for installing it on my Noob guide thread sticked in the General section... sorry can't post the links via phone.

Either this recovery or RomRacer's will give you CWM/Recovery... terminology is interchangeable for the purposes here.

I think I understand. Thanks!
