I am absolutely new to this Android ROM installs on the phones. Though I decided to install this ROM I absolutely didn’t’ have any idea how to proceed. As a beginner I started doing the following in order.

Download and Keep the CM7 ROM

1.	Downloaded Ba2F.zip to my laptop

2.	Downloaded and Installed the Motorola USB drivers MotoHelper_2.0.53_Driver_5.2.0.EXE

3.	Connect the Atrix and set the USB option on the phone to “USB Mass Storage”

4.	Copy both BaTF.zip as well as the Extracted one to Phone internal storage as well as the Ext-SDcard on the phone

Download ROM Manager and Titanium Backup

1.	Downloaded both from Android Market (ROM Manager Pro and Titanium Backup Free Version)

2.	Both Apps won’t open because I had not ROOTED the phone

Root the Phone

1.	I used “Pete's Motorola Root Tools.EXE” file to ROOT the phone

2.	Followed step by step as mentioned here http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-motorola-atrix-4g-35233/

Flash ClockworkMod Recovery

1.	I used ROM Manager to do this as when you try to do anything in ROM manager it prompts to do this. The version of this is 5.0.2.0 ( I am not sure what is this for why we have to do this)

Unlocking the Bootloader

1.	What I learned is, to unlock the bootloader, we have to first flash the phone with the SBF file

a.	Installed RSDLite5.3.1.msi

b.	Loaded the file 4547-fix-try2.sbf (Downloaded from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261)

c.	Boot the phone with Power+volume UPPER key pressed till "Starting RSD protocol support" comes up

d.	Connect to the Laptop and Hit Start button in RSD Lite Program

e.	It Did Throw an error saying “FAIL” after showing the following message

i.	Failed to boot: error 0x1000'( not word for word). There will also be a list of boot options like Fastboot, RSD, Recovery, etc. And it says Starting Fastboot Protocol

2.	Then comes unlocking the phone

a.	Though I had the previous error message, it still had the Fastboot Protocol loaded

b.	I went to the FASTBOOT folder in command prompt of my laptop executed the following to unlock the phone which worked perfectly as I see the “Unlock” on the left hand corner when phone boots

c.	fastboot oem unlock (it gave me the code) then I used the code to unlock

d.	fastboot oem unlock #######

e.	fastboot reboot

3.	Installing the recovery IMG

a.	I had downloaded the Recovery IMG file (recovery-atrix5.img) from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204500

b.	Booted the phone into Fastboot mode (turn off phone, hold power and volume down key until 'fastboot' appears then use volume up to select so it says 'starting fastboot protocol support').

c.	From the CMD promnt and FASTBOOT directory I used fastboot erase recovery

d.	Then I executed fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img (Note: I didn’t rename the file to recovery as suggested by some people)

e.	Then gave fastboot reboot to restart.

4.	Booting into Recovery mode (This is where I have the problem)

a.	The phone is not booting into recovery it’s not going past the Android and yellow Triangle screen

b.	I re-flashed the phone same SBF file (this time it was a success showed in the RSD Lite Program), re-installed the same IMG file after renaming to recovery.img

c.	Also tried with a different IMG from the same link (recovery-blue-atrix5.img) but no luck

d.	Also deleted the file install-recovery.sh from ./etc/ folder (bought the app root manager to delete the file) and then push the recovery.img, no luck

e.	Some people said to TAP the bottom right corner while on that screen, did that but nothing is happening

f.	Then I saw a note to press both the Volume Keys at the same time, this works but in this mode the cursor (I mean the selection) on the phone doesn’t go to the First TWO (i and iii) shown below, it allows me to select any of the last FOUR (v, vi, vii, viii).

i.	Android System Recovery <3e>

ii.	<EMPTY LINE >

iii.	Android System Recovery utility

iv.	<EMPTY LINE >

v.	Reboot System now

vi.	Apply update from sdcard

vii.	Wipe data/factory reset

viii.	Wipe cache partition

g.	Using the above option I did factory reset but sill no results.

5.	Current condition of the phone

a.	It boots in unlock mode and I can do all the daily tasks. But I want to install the CM7 ROM that’s my requirement

PLEASE HELP HELP HELP
