Nah, different fastboots have different radio versions and depending on a lot of factors like cell tower, provider, etc, you might get a better signal or not.

What's there right now is wrong, I need to update that part of the guide to

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2

for it to be correct. Also, ICS modems don't like custom kitkat roms, I haven't tried stock JB with ICS modems.

my 1001th post...

There you go!

I kind of gave my farewell to the Defy community with my 1000th post and here I am, to annouce that I will now join the Atrix HD family.

And I owe part of that decision to the OP Skeevy for all the patience he has showed and all the 'tech support' he has done.

So I'm glad to end up here and I'll do my best to help him out and everyone here (as I can - or at least, to try to entertain you guys a bit) once I receive that new toy and I'm up to speed. I've already been reading this forum section for a few days now, I've started to give thanks and I can't wait to start playing with my AHD.

Theme it, root it, tweak it, unlock and format it ... Haaarrrgggghhhh! now I got that song stuck in my head for the day...

Anyhow, see you around guys! I'm glad to be here.

And thanks to Skeevy again.

Taking crazy pills

Okay, I have an unlocked bootloader, I'm rooted, and I've tried (and apparently succeeded, according to the terminal) to install epinter's CWM. HOWEVER, I can't figure out for the life of me how to actually get into CWM recovery. Every time I've tried to go to recovery (power+vol up+volume down) I just get the little dead android figure. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, since it says everything installed okay. Any advice?
[Motorola Atrix HD] mega_man:
the problem you see the dead android figure is its the stock recovery coming back after each reboot you need to delete a file in system\etc\ install-recovery.sh delete it and flash cwm again and u will have it cwm [MENTION=5201945]theusualuser[/MENTION]
[Motorola Atrix HD] theusualuser:
Awesome! I don't know how I missed that step, but I've got it on there now. I just tried installing SlimKat and got a strange error, saying "this package is for devices with 4.4 bootloader." I don't suppose you know what that's all about?

?

EDIT: I'm guessing that it's because I only have jbbl? Does that mean most of the roms I see on here won't actually work with my device? Bummer.
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
Many ROMs that were created after June 30 won't work on our device unless the ROM was specifically compiled for a JB bootloader.
[Motorola Atrix HD] theusualuser:
Yeah, I'm definitely starting to see that. I'm still struggling, though, as I tried installing Cyanogenmod 11 (the jbbl nightly) on here and got an error message error status 7. When I read about that it made it sound like I was just using the wrong version for my bootloader, but I know that's the jbbl version. So, I thought maybe it's just a bad file, so I downloaded it again and it failed again with the same message. Then a new nightly showed up, but I tried that and it failed just the same. It's really annoying, as for some reason it's completely killing my old OS and I have to use my nandroid backup each time, restore the whole thing, then start over again getting root, installing CWM and so on. I can't imagine what I'm doing wrong to keep getting this message.

All I wanted to do was help breathe some new life into my wife's old phone, but it's got me pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
The status 7 error often occurs if the recovery is out of date.

You have to re-install CWM each time you get a failed installation? If this is correct, something is definitely wrong. I have experienced failed or aborted installations in the past but they never caused me to lose root or have to re-install CWM.
[Motorola Atrix HD] theusualuser:
Yeah, it was something to do with cwm that came with myth tools. When I installed cwm touch manually it stuck and I installed cm 11 just fine.

MB886 vs Unified

I tried out LP 5.1 for a couple of days, but it was pretty slow. I decided that KitKat might be my best bet, and I saw a unified KK, so I tried to install it and it said something about needed a KK bootloader or something. But then I installed CM11 for the MB886 without any problem. So now I have to wonder, is it worth it to pursue the unified stuff, or is the MB886 stuff just as good/better?

In case it matters, I got this phone on Monday, and it had ICS, and I didn't upgrade to JB before I rooted and installed custom recovery. My recovery is Philz unified recovery.

open the ss app in your phone...on the screen it will give you 2 options....install or uninstall recovery....

then remove app from setting/app.....select and uninstall app....
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
MR is the least bloated stock AHD rom & tethering sqlite hacks aren't needed...do I need to say more?

To uninstall SS.

Boot to stock and open the SS App

Select Uninstall Safestrap (might be Remove, only done this once)

Then uninstall the actual SS apk like any normal app.

Reboot to ensure its gone
[Motorola Atrix HD] matt99017d:
There is NO "SS APP" in my phone, thus confused
[Motorola Atrix HD] htchd2fix:
did you uninstall the app before uninstall the recovery???????

the reinstall it....uninstall the recovery and uninstall the app again.....

hope it helps
[Motorola Atrix HD] matt99017d:
I downloaded the app and installed it and then uninstalled it. it still goes to the SS splash screen @ boot.

I can still get into CWM but i cant get rid of SS completely
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Did you actually open the SS app and uninstall it from there & then from Android? There's 2 different SS installs -- the recovery you boot to and the app that installs and uninstalls the recovery.

I did the uninstall from a rom slot and never actually uninstalled the app the stock...I just rebooted into stock, didn't get the SS menu, and decided to upgraded to 4.1.2.

If you're still on stock, you can always just flash a new one or reflash ATT stock (why???) and get rid of it that way. Instructions in OP. Just download the fastboot binaries linked there and you should be just fine.
[Motorola Atrix HD] matt99017d:
Its not hurting anything being there.....I'll just wait till a custom ROM comes out!:::---)))
[Motorola Atrix HD] Markyzz:
Within the app, you need to uninstall safestrap, and then uninstall the app.

Also, I like to flash recoveries twice when installing from fastboot. Just run the flash cmd twice. Probably not necessary, but it never fails for me
[Motorola Atrix HD] sonicspear64:

[Motorola Atrix HD] miko85:
got CWM working but im confused about the stock fastboot files posted in the op. i went to install the mexico retail after a factory reset via CWM installed fine but definatley is not the mexico retail rom, was i supposed to do the fastboot file procedure you listed in the op do get a clean system and go from there?
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
The "fastboot erase cache" & "fastboot -w" wipe cache and factory reset you.

The command "fastboot erase system -w" will wipe your /system & /userdata. I'll update the OP & instructions with this command. Once you do this command, you have to either flash a system.img or a rom in recovery because you'll have no system to run.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Added to the OP, more choices are good.

If you didn't know, you can disable the Pro version nagging in the SuperSu settings.
[Motorola Atrix HD] saintmoody:
The tutorials here on AHD are like a fast car with no brakes!!! surprised there's not an AHD brick shelter....
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
If you follow the instructions as posted, you'll be just fine. Everything I've posted I've used and done. I think I missed "fastboot erase recovery" before the recovery flash, but I've forgot to use that command and it didn't hurt anything. CWM works just fine flashing over TWRP with out the erase command, but erasing is safer should be done.

If there's something you don't understand or don't know either ask or search. I'm watching the forums closely and am trying to provide a bit of tech support for unlocked bootloaders. Since a lot of us are past Moto users, unlocked bootloaders are uncharted territory. I've been trying to provide decent instructions that work for us and won't leave us screwed.

I gotta ask, has anyone had any luck in getting TWRP to work? Every one (newest two) I've tried has left me with a black screen. Luckily adb still works so its as simple as "adb reboot bootloader" "fastboot erase recovery" "fastboot flash recovery ~/cwm.img" -- I renamed the cwm image to cwm.img and placed it in my home directory to make it easier on me when I test twrp; could be lazier and type "~/cw*" :p

Also, we're on an unlocked bootloader, we can delete the bootloader and recovery and all's will happen is we'll boot directly into fastboot to flash a kernel and continue on to boot the system. Damn near impossible to brick if you only use the commands posted.

So with clock work I should be able to just install say cm 10.1 for the dev edition razr hd on here?

I did some searching, and if you used the fastboot linked in the OP(a special one for Motorola phones), are root\admin, Windows doesn't have driver issues, and your bootloader is unlocked, it should work.

The only thing extra I found was to place the fastboot executable and the recovery image in the same folder, not sure why, but it was recommended in a few places. There's really not much more I can do to help. Try searching "fastboot erase recovery remote failure" on XDA and Google, maybe you'll see something I didn't.

[Motorola Atrix HD] jkm43:
No I can get to recovery just fine and your right it works but my concern really is the system partition. I am worried about stability when we start getting custom system.img's. Flashing this partition without wiping is my concern
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Well, if you're worried about that, and you're right to be, you can always

adb reboot recovery

go to mount\storage

mount system

adb remount

adb shell rm -rf /system *

adb reboot bootloader

flash system image

Its the long way of doing it, but works.

*Might need to do "adb shell" followed by "su" then "rm -rf /system" if the list doesn't work. I think cwm uses insecured adb so the list should work.

I could make this easy by making a system wipe zip, but nothing is learned by the "one click" methods. Its my opinion that they dumb you down and make it easier to brick your device because you don't learn anything about what's actually being done. XDA is about learning & helping just as much as its about development and roms -- "one clicks", while helpful, are inherently bad in disguise. Example -- I can run a "one click" and if it fails, I know how to read its script and see where and why it failed, and what to do manually to fix it -- but not everyone can -- by not teaching the methods, all the "one click easy ways" are doing for us is making it so that nobody has to bother learning anything. And like I read last night -- It takes longer to write a safe, correct script than it does to post 3-6 fastboot commands that do the same damn thing...

//I lol when I see a "one click" technique since we, or almost everyone, gotta double click to use them. Quit lying to us, its a 2 click and press enter method :silly:
[Motorola Atrix HD] jkm43:
Thanks for the info.. Yea myself I need to know how stuff works, thats the only way things makes sense to me so I agree with you totally. The only time I like the 1 click methods is when I'm in a hurry to get the phone back into shape but most of the time I prefer to learn the steps. I tell you how bad I'm trying to learn....

put the img in your fastboot folder

nobody answer the question why we can not erase recovery

they just said that flashing a new one on top it will not arm...

i personally flashed cwm and everything works...
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Stock fastboot? If you mean the SDK fastboot, it doesn't work with Motorola phones. The fastboot in the op is for us, either overwrite the SDK one or rename ours (moto-fastboot is commonly used) and add it to the same directory as the installed fastboot.

It seems to be a limitation of our boot loader. We're not supposed to be unlocked so its not a big surprise that some commands are blocked.

There are ways to wipe, like making a blank image and flashing that, via the adb method I posted, zeroed out disk dump over a partition...just gotta think outside the box.
