Edit: Saw someone else's post saying to remove /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and reflash. Works now. Nothing to see here... move along

I followed qbking's videos for unlocking and rooting the phone. The phone says unlocked during reboot and root checker confirms I'm rooted. I then went to flash CWM 5.0.2.7, following the instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16654262&postcount=1

It all appeared to be successful. However, when I turned off the phone and attempted to boot into CWM, (vol-down + power, select android-recovery), it says entering android recovery mode and then shows the exclamation error as seen below. I've redownloaded and reflashed several different versions (colors) and repeated the process... to no avail.

Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mxmarcus:
The only time I got that kind of screen was when I was rooted but not unlocked. If you are unlocked, try reflashing the recovery using adb

You need to make sure you have your phone in fastboot mode. When you press vol-down + power it should be the first one you see and then press up to enter.

I used this http://www.teamuscellular.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=105&t=1221 to unlock my Electrify. I didn't see any info as to which device you are using.

[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
In order to flash anything you need to unlock the bootloader. That post I linked to gives you a step by step walk through, plus qbking77 has a bunch of vids on YouTube.

As far as best ROM, it's all personal preference. If you want stable AOSP, cm7 or cyanmobile. Stable blurry - peetr's hybrid. Or there are a bunch of ics/jb roms that are about 95% stable IMHO. Flash them all and see which one you like

... thanx man once again.:o now as far as my understanding goes these are the things i need to do in the following sequence. kindly correct me and protect me from bricking my phone considering i am a noob ;) :

1. Root the phone with AIO Root.

2. Unlock Bootloader with this command "moto-fastboot oem unlock".

3. Flash CWM Recovery with this command "moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-red-photon3.img"

4. Flash ROM and gapps.

a few questions though... shud i have to install aroma before flashing ROM and please throw some light on "Options Chooser" ...
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
You have the steps right

Aroma is part of the ROM flashing process. It allows you to pick and choose some options for the ROM you are flashing. Same thing with the options chooser, gives you options for cna, aokp, miui. Allows you to flash individual gapps.

Be sure to check out qbking77 on YouTube to make sure you get all the steps right. Good luck

[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
FYI, you shouldn't be using this recovery to flash CM9/CM10 based ROMs.

You should be using jokers v3 recovery. He has modified it to work better with ICS/JB.

This recovery is better with stock based ROMs and CM7. If you're insistent on using this recovery, than try flashing the rom and Gapps twice. (Ex. Flash rom twice, flash Gapps twice).

Hello all,

I recently put backtrack 5 on my atrix and was really enjoying having a pentesting suite on my mobile phone.

I used the method and image from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074169&page=26

Everything worked perfectly for a while until...

I updated to 4.5.91 GB OTA and now it no longer works.

When attempting to start BT I get this

#startbt
losetup:applet not found
mount: applet not found
mount :no such file or directory
mount :no such file or directory
mount :no such file or directory
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

startbt cannot create /data/local/bt/etc/resolve.conf: directory non-existent
startby cannot create /data/local/bt/etc/hosts directory non-existent

It looks to me like the backtrack image is not getting mounted, thus the directories cannot be found.

Can someone please explain to me what in the world happened, and perhaps how I can go about fixing this?

I am rooted and do have busybox installed. Both are confirmed through the rootcheck app.

Also I apologize for not posting this in the thread in the thread I mentioned before, but post count prevents me from posting in dev forums.

If someone successfully solves my issue I would be glad to donate a a few bucks to the dev of their choice.

EDIT***

Nevermind It is fixed. Just in case others are having similar issues I will explain what was wrong...

After I updated to GB and re-rooted, I ran rootcheck to verify that I had root access. One thing I noticed is that my rootcheck claimed I didnt have busybox installed. So I reinstalled it. Like a dummy I installed it /system/xbin instead of /system/bin. Simply installing it to the correct place fixed things. I feel silly. Mods feel free to delete this.

I rooted my Atrix Friday night and all worked well. I rooted after Gingerbread. Now, I was goofing around with Blade Buddy and also froze a few apps through Titanium Backup and after I rebooted my text is all small and almost every app crashes, including multi touch keyboard and phone. So, I can't do basically anything. I don't know if I froze an app I shouldn't have (I didn't freeze anything system just like motorola services like the social networking stuff and some downloaded apps).

I think I need to reflash my phone, but I'm not sure how to do this. Can anyone please give me guidance?

Luckily I have a blackberry as an old phone so I put my sim card in there for backup. I have a backup of the flash with ROM manager, but ROM manager is crashing as well as TI Backup.

I have a Mac, but I had to use a friend's pc to root so I might have to use the pc to re-flash, but I wasn't sure.

Thanks in advance for the help!

As long as you didn't unlock a simple sbf flash will fix everything. You can also try blade buddy to set the density back to normal. This can fix some apps crashing.

If you are unlocked make sure the sbf has pudding.

Can you tell me how to do a SBF flash? I didn't unlock the phone, just root. It has an unlocked bootloader now because I had Gingerbread, but that isn't what you mean is it?

Thanks! I'm going to try Blade Buddy one more time to see if it won't crash on me. So, the lcd density is probably what crashed it?

Edit:

Okay, I can get into Blade Buddy and change the density back to default (230) but I can't save it. Everytime I hit the menu button to save it crashes. Is there anything I can do to get around that?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreww88:

Can you get into Titanium back up and defrost everything you have frozen? Or maybe get into Rom Manager and do a "Fix Permissions" I take it you don't have CWM installed to do a Fix Permissions

No I can't, but I did a SBF flash because I was researching and it seemed like the only way. The build.prop file got messed up somehow. But it is in warranty so I'm sending it back to Motorola. It'll be free or might be alittle bit, but either way cheaper than new phone. Thanks!

Hello

Kies 2.0 or 1.5 will not recognize the firmware of one of my Samsung Captivate I896 running Rogers Stock 2.1 or Rogers Stock 2.2 (Froyo).

Two computers installed with

Vista Home Premium (32bit)

Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit)

Problem with Kies 2.0 detecting firmware on Captivate:

Captivate: deselect debugging mode.

Computer: Start "Kies" application

Connect USB cable to computer and then to Captivate

Captivate: Select "Kies (Firmware Update)"

Computer: Kies on computer will recognize Captivate correctly showing "I896" correctly.

Computer: In "Current Firmware", nothing is shown or detected. Blank

Captivate Brief History:

THis phone has been rooted and flashed with custom ROMs many times

ie CM7, Continuum

Then back to non GB bootloaders using ODIN one-click (AT&T Stock 2.1)

used a master clear at one time in the ODIN one-click

then Rogers Stock 2.1 (I896UXJI2 TORONTO) via ODIN3 v.1.82.

also Rogers Stock 2.2 (I896UXJL1-stock) via ODIN3 v.1.82.

I have also used (heimdall-suite-1.3.0-win32) to flash (UXJL1 I897)

With Eclair - Rogers 2.1 Stock.

Is the product code correct?

Yes

With Stock 2.1 flashed on captivate.

Enter *2767*4387264636# in dialer.

I had this problem for a while before I updated to froyo a few months ago. I ended up having to flash back to unrooted stock before I could update to Froyo through Kies. Have you tried unrooting?

I was a supporter of Kies for a long time, but it seems like it's only real usefulness is to update firmware. The set of apps that Samsung wraps up in Kies are not superior to the parallel Google Applications. I guess I'm just curious as to why you need to use Kies when there are so many better alternatives in regards to syncing contacts, apps and content.

Good luck to you. I'd try with a completely stock unrooted eclair.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemmie:
Are you running 2.1 or 2.2? If you've never rooted or installed another ROM and are having issues with Kies connecting, make sure that you install the specific driver package that kies is intended to run with.
