It's not there... that's why I was trying to sideload, but it won't work in either custom recovery.

When I reboot from TWRP it says I am not rooted and swipe to have root installed. Even though I have done this a few times it keeps telling me that I'm not rooted.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Aldo101t:
when you flashed omj's rom what firmware were you on .7 or .10

did you backup your stock rom??
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
Your sideload issue sounds like it is related to an out of date ADB folder. You NEED to download the GOOGLE ANDROID SDK and use their platform tools folder. I do not know about your particular root kit but the only way to ever be safe is to take the set up from google.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Drybonz:
It's not even showing up on devices in adb now. Not sure how that would have happened if I was able to put a recovery on it, etc before.

Sorry for the trouble guys... any advice is appreciated.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Drybonz:
Thanks for the tip... I found the adb faq (with link to SDK tools) after your last comment and I have it installed now, but it's not even recognizing my device now.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
Have you rebooted? THE PC THAT IS
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Drybonz:
Yeah, I rebooted (the PC)... I'm in fast boot and when i "adb devices" no devices are showing.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
And when you say you found an adb faq what do you mean?

Just boot to fastboot, relock your bootloader, RUU, and start over.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Drybonz:
That sounds like a plan. I may just go back to locked stock and leave it alone. I don't think I can keep up any more.

Do I need an image to "RUU"? Whats the process for that, please?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
Download the SDK FROM GOOGLE.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Install it and download components. Inside the folders is the ONLY fastboot/adb tool you should use.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Drybonz:
Thank you. The download keeps failing, but I will try again in a bit.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Drybonz:
Ok, I found the image and instructions. Barring any weirdness I should be able to get back to stock now.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Drybonz:
Well, the RUU downloads in OMJ's thread are corrupt files... so I am still locked out of my phone. Having trouble finding another link to those files. If anyone knows of a mirror and can point me in the right direction it is most appreciated.

Thanks.

I have everything set up except that every large rom file I download today is corrupt. Not sure why... I have done all kinds of troubleshooting with my PC but can't find anything.

I have been looking for a rom that has a torrent download link, but I can't find one.

I'll download the RUU and host it for you, how's that?

The problem I'm having is that everything I download is a corrupt zip. I can't figure out why... spent a bunch of time yesterday testing memory, etc... but it happens even if I download from a different device. I have reset my internet, tried different browsers... not sure if it is a problem with the "android file hosting" site that everyone uses for their roms... no idea. It's been extremely frustrating.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ethan.r.besbris:
Give me a little and I'll download a stock rom and host it for you.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Drybonz:
I went to a friend's house this afternoon and we tried a bunch of the same downloads I was having trouble with. They all failed over there too, so I guess some of these file hosting services are having some problems.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Have you tried to fastboot flash a fresh copy of your recovery?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Drybonz:
Thanks for the reply. Yes, in fact, the recovery is good to go now, and my problem has been getting a rom that is not corrupt. I put a ticket in with my ISP and they are trying to fix a problem we are having in this area... so once I can get a good download of a rom, I should be good to go.

It's been a very frustrating couple days with this flash problem coupled with an unusual internet problem. lol I'm hoping I will be able to get it all worked out soon.

OK here's the deal, I have my phones boot loader unlocked and its rooted, now I want to install cwm, on all my previous devices I did this through ROM manager but atm our device is not supported there. However I saw a guy on here (can't remember his name) use a twrp recovery from the photon q on our device, can I do the same with cwm in ROM manager? Or are there compatibility issues?
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
They used the photon for cwm. Don't do that though. Use our official one located in the development section.

Do this but replace the cwm.img in "*\Myth Tools\tools" folder with the one from this thread or just use the one from that thread up front, no need to hassle with replacing files or anything. Go to the thread I linked, download the file, boot your phone into fastboot and run the command from the thread inside the folder the cwm.img is in.

[Motorola Atrix HD] jblaylock:
I'm going to jump on this thread too.

I'm having issues, I can seem to get CWM to install. I have rooted/unlocked. I replaced the cwm with the newer one. I used the myth tool to reboot into Fastboot, while on the unlocked screen, I ran the recovery on the tool. The phone restarted, but I figure out how to get to cwm recovery, or if it even worked.
[Motorola Atrix HD] frog1982:
adb reboot recovery or hold down volume up and power button when turning the phone on or hold down volume up, volume down and power button when powering on then in the boot options screen use volume down to move highlight and volume up to select.

I know how to access the boot menu. All I get is the stock menu, not the CWM menu

[Motorola Atrix HD] spy_1134:
Don't give up just yet. It's worth it to get custom ROMs on your phone.

Do a search around the forums here and you'll find a custom build of a CWM based recovery by mattlgroff made for this phone. Flash that to recovery with fastboot and you should then be able to flash custom ROMs without fear of screwing up your phone.

You may also want to flash a stock firmware with RSD-Lite. (not the recovery!)

Some users have had issues with GPS not working until after you flash stock and then go to a custom ROM after getting a GPS fix on stock. I don't know if that is still necessary or not, but it's something to keep in mind.
[Motorola Atrix HD] jblaylock:
I have tried to flash the latest CWM via the myth tool. I tried flashing as option 1, CWM and option 2, custom recovery. Neither has worked. I about to go crazy. What do I do here?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
Just download the recovery file and boot you phone into boot loader, connect phone to PC... In cmd, type "fastboot flash recovery recover_name.img" without quotes and recovery_name being the name of your recovery file..
[Motorola Atrix HD] jblaylock:
Just to clarify, do I download it to my cpu or phone? Where do I open cmd, in the folder on Windows for the phone?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
Download it to your computer and open command prompt in the folder where both fastboot files and your downloaded recovery file is present...
[Motorola Atrix HD] jblaylock:
Tried it this morning, still cannot get cwm to flash. This is very frustrating.

Do I have to erase my stock recovery prior to flashing cwm?
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
No.

Make sure you download snapdragon fastboot from here or use what is provided with MythTools

If you have the Android SDK installed, uninstall it

Before flashing, right click the fastboot executable and set it to run with Admin Permissions (on same tab as XP Compatibility)

MythTools should just work as this point, but I've never used them so I'll continue with my way

Place the downloaded recovery image into the same folder as the snapdragon fastboot (I rename it to snap-fastboot, will use that for now on)

Open/direct a terminal/command prompt to the folder with snap-fasatboot & recovery

type "snap-fastboot flash recovery cwm.img" (mattlgroff's CWM is named cwm.img)

If that doesn't work, make sure the command prompt is running as Admin.

It should just work now, If it STILL doesn't

Uninstall ANY Android Drivers, Motorola Drivers, etc

Reinstall just the Motorola Drivers and MythTools & repeat from the top.

The only think I can add is use a USB Port on the back of your PC. Don't ask why, just do it that way and never use the front side USB Ports again.

OR

Do the same things above, only do them on Linux. I've never had a single bad flash that wasn't my fault on Linux -- usually from typing fastboot flash instead of snap-fastboot flash :p

A bit of helpful advice: If you're planning on getting involved in the Android Scene, having a Linux install is almost a required thing nowadays. Ubuntu 12.04 and Mint 13 are my recommended Linux Distributions to use. Almost all Roms are built on Linux, meaning all the Devs, Kangers, and Rom Cooks run Linux, as well as a lot of the Power Users around here. Myself, I only run Linux so it makes it a bit difficult for me to help with Windows Issues like yours. Other than the above, there's not much more help I can give ya.
[Motorola Atrix HD] jblaylock:
Thanks for your help Skeevy. Though I will say that it still didn't work. I tried EVERYTHING on your list, except removing Myth and reinstalling that. I could not figure out how to remove it. It wouldn't let me delete the unzipped folder either. I just don't get it. Why has this worked for so many people but not me.....
[Motorola Atrix HD] jblaylock:
I'm using Window 8, could this be the problem?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
Is your PC recognizing the device? Check that first...
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Maybe, I dunno. I've only done any of this on Linux where it works just fine every time. Try disabling UAC. That seems to help in some cases. And only use the USB Ports on the back of your PC. Front Side USB Ports are connected to the board via a controller and that can cause issues in some cases, so only use the USB ports that are directly connected to the motherboard.

I'm completely out of ideas for ya now, other than use Linux.

If ya have usb stick/sd card slot on your PC you can download an Ubuntu Live CD, put all our Linux Tools on the stick/card (snapdragon-fastboot and adb), boot into the Live CD, and do this from Linux where it will work.

Or ideally, use a GParted Live CD and make a 15GB partition on you main PC hard drive and install Linux there -- having a Linux install is really handy if you're into roms, phone modding, or Windows gives you hell and you just wanna get the job done. 15GB is more than enough to have an Ubuntu install and the required tools.

//Sometimes I think I should make a Manjaro Live CD with the required tools for us.

[MENTION=4487948]skeevydude[/MENTION] I downloaded snapdragon fastboot and put the extracted exe file and the cmw.img file in a windows folder. Currently this folder is on my cpu hard drive. Do I run the command prompt code from here or does this folder have to be moved to my phone internal or external sd card? Just trying to wrap my head around how running a code on my pc is going to update my phone..Also is using Myth Tools optional or required to get this to work?
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Put them on the root of your C drive (C:\folder_with_the_files)

Run the command prompt from within that folder.

OMFG, LOL...Really??? Just Wow....but I digress....It works because the fastboot executable is what sends the images to the phone and writes them....Not a whole lot to wrap your head around. If it helps, you can think of fastboot as a manual, command line version of RSD; only much more powerful.

We need that specific fastboot file because it sends and writes the images properly -- every other fastboot executable around sends the images in a different (the normal) way. Most Motorola Phones are special and use a non-standard fastboot; we're not an exception to that.

Myth Tools is Optional. If you know what you're doing, they make things easier...
[Motorola Atrix HD] frog1982:
yes run the fastboot commands while in the folder that you have the snap-fastboot files and cwm.IMG in and also make sure you run cmd as admin. the fastboot commands are telling your computer to overwrite what is on your phone with the IMG in the file you are in.
[Motorola Atrix HD] scrappa_doozie:
appreciate your help. when I tried entering the command as instructed I get the following response < waiting for device >

the phone is still in AP Fastboot flash mode so I'm not sure if the changes took. I'm logged in to pc as admin user so will the cmd automatically open as admin?
[Motorola Atrix HD] frog1982:
no they did not take because being logged in as admin is not enough and that is why it says waiting for device instead of starting the operation. right click on cmd and you will have the option to open with admin permissions.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
That...and try disabling UAC as well. Both are recommended and Frog's suggestion is necessary.
[Motorola Atrix HD] scrappa_doozie:
how do I check if I have android sdk installed? I don't think I've installed that but that's the only other thing I can think of checking. The top of my cmd window reads Administrator:C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe...so I think that means it's in admin mode. also I disabled uac. still saying waiting for device. When I plugged in the phone the cpu installed the standard drivers but I'm also getting a message asking if I want to install Motorola Device Manager. Is that installation required for this to work? The unknown sources box I phone settings, does that box need to be checked?
[Motorola Atrix HD] frog1982:
install Motorola device manager because that is your drivers for the phone also just because you are logged in as admin does not mean you have admin security clearance in cmd that is a safety net they built into cmd because you can really screw up your computer with admin cmd.
[Motorola Atrix HD] scrappa_doozie:
ok thank you I will try that. What I'm doing now to open the cmd is - from inside the folder pressing the shift key then right clicking to open menu and left clicking on open command window here. do I need to do something different to make sure I am running cmd as admin?
[Motorola Atrix HD] scrappa_doozie:
OK thanks installing the Motorola device manager seemed to do the trick. I was able to push cwm to my phone but when I try to reboot into recovery it's giving me open-chest android with triangle. Will deleting the install-recovery.sh file @ /system/etc fix this?
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
In my case, I installed root explorer and changed the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak in order to get cwm onto my phone. This way, I have a copy of the original file.
[Motorola Atrix HD] frog1982:
I renamed it with .bak at the end but ya that file will just overwrite cwm on reboot
[Motorola Atrix HD] scrappa_doozie:
I have ES file explorer which gives me the option to rename a file...can I rename it with that or do I need to rename w/root explorer? Since I've already installed CWM 6.0.3.2 will I be able to reboot into CWM once I rename the file or will I have to re-install CWM after I rename the file.
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
I don't think you will have access to the system files with ES File Explorer.
[Motorola Atrix HD] scrappa_doozie:
I installed root explorer and renamed the file in /system/etc/ from install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak

I then turned the phone on using power key+both volume keys then I select "Recovery" but it gets me to the android with triangle error. Does this mean that there is a problem w/my CWM installation or do I need to access it a different way? prior to renaming the file I was able to install CWM using the snapdragon fastboot cmd command option
[Motorola Atrix HD] frog1982:
just install it again when you rebooted with install-recovery.sh intact it overwrote cwm
[Motorola Atrix HD] jblaylock:
Skeevy,

I figured out the problem. I had to download the root explorer and rename the recovery file to .bak. Then I reran Myth Tools and it installed CWM Recovery.

Next, the 1st thing I did was create a Backup. This was completed, but my question is, should the recovery file go to my SD card? It created the recovery img on the device storage and now it say I'm almost out of memory. Can I copy/paste the CWM folder to the SD card, or delete the recovery and run it again? I assume the recovery img needs to go on the SD card.

Once I have the recovery correct, I have the PA rom on my sd card, I just install the rom from the sd while in CWM recovery mode?
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
Just copy and paste the entire backup folder and drirectory from the internal storage to the SD card.

In the future, when creating a backup, just choose the option to backup to your external SD card in CWM.

Hi all,

First of all, Multirom: Great work !!! Using Ubuntu 13.04 Desktop for my schoolwork on my N7 and works perfectly.

Except, I can't get to my internal storage (aka SDCard, /storage/emulated/0/) from Ubuntu.

I have done some research and so far, the only conclusion I have for it not to work, is because Multirom uses some sort of chroot jail for the ubuntu folder. I have done some adjustments of the init script and the local script (located at the ubuntu folder inside the Multirom folder), but it had no success.. I tried to make a hardlink from /storage/emulated/0 to a folder inside my Ubuntu "chroot", but it doesnt work.

Does anyone has any idea at all on how to fix this?

I downloaded dolphin from the software center. After installed, open terminal and type "sudo dolphin". Provide root password and dolphin will open. Your internal sdcard contents will be available in the left payne of the dolphin window.

It is not that multirom is in a chroot jail. The "multirom" folder on the sdcard is just given different permissions to keep the media scanner in android from getting access to it, so it is not running and looking for media there.
