A couple quick observations--

The 3.0.0.6 recovery thing, also known as clockworkmod recovery, is an older version, so you'll want to update that when you can (via Rom Manager probably as that's the easiest way).

You're misusing some terms. You don't "root" with CM7-- rooting is the process of enabling the root/superuser account, typically on the stock firmware. CM7 is an alternative software/ROM/operating system that includes an enabled root account, but is probably best known for the other additional features it includes beyond standard Android.

The wait-for-more-power message comes from the bootloader, called "u-boot". After you see that "Touch the Future" message, you should be seeing "A N D R O I D _" which is the kernel loading up and the boot starting. If you don't see that at all, I'm guessing one of the following files are missing/messed up on your boot partition (p1, the first partition on your device):

uImage -- the kernel file

uRamdisk -- a small "bootup" file which includes several files bundled together that is necessary for a successful full boot.

Both of these should have been installed when you installed cm7. Assuming you have tried previously, you might again try reinstalling the latest cm7 update.zip from scratch. As of now 7.02 is the latest stable version. I believe there is a thread by eyeballer that walks you through the steps, or if your'e a Windows user, you could watch this video.

Good luck!

funny _ i have the same issue but my battery never ran out - just started happening after I transfered some music to my SD CARD.. If I take the SD Card out upon a reboot, the NC boots fine.

Not sure but when I keep the SD card in - the boot stays at Power of Reading?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
I am completely new to Android, I've never used it before. I'm looking into the Atrix, and one question I wanted to ask - is it possible to do an utter and complete backup of the phone? By which I mean, no matter what gets screwed up in the O/S, or with future attempts to load a custom ROM, etc... - I would be able to restore the phone to its original factory condition.

Is this possible, and if so, how?

If not, what limitations are there?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BravoMotorola:
So, I guess you didn't see the "Atrix 4G Q&A" sub forum? Wheres Mr.Clown? He'll move this soon enough...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkinetic:
there is an SBF thread which allows u to unbrick ur phone and return it to stock assuming ur Atrix is ATT branded, if ur not familiar with how command line interfaces work then u really shouldnt be doin much modding just yet.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
I saw it, but I thought it had to do with general product questions, not questions regarding modding.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
Thank you. I appreciate your trying to answer my question.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] das8nt:
The simple answer is we do not have a full backup option yet. A nandroid backup would provide the full image type of backup you are looking for, but it's not accessible at this time.

You can currently only back up individual parts separately. Titanium Backup for root can help with apps. Blur can store your user settings. Google/Gmail keeps your contacts. As already stated above, flashing the leaked SBF will take you back to (near) stock, but will wipe most everything to get there.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
I'm not worried about backing up components or data. I'm looking for a way to ensure that no matter what shape the O/S is (including being bricked), that it's still possible to restore the phone to factory new condition. I don't mind wiping the phone to get there, that's assumed as part of the process. :)

The SBF is a good start, but what concerns me is that it's not quite identical to what's originally on the phone. That's why I was hoping for a way to do a local backup that would guarantee an identical restore state.

If nandroid would accomplish this, what is the current roadblock to using it?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennethpenn:
The SBF is nearly the same as the stock version. It's actually got some bugfixes in it too. The one broken thing is the WiFi firmware (on mostly Enterprise/Corporate networks), which Da_G has fixed. That fix will be included in the 7th beta of GingerBlur.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Moved to Q&A.

FWIW Q&A is for any kind of question pertaining to the device, from "does this phone have a camera" to "what backup methods exist".

Cheers
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
That's good to know. But I just wanted to clarify which SBF we're talking about. I thought the one to use if you needed to unbrick and return to stock was OLYFR_U4_1.5.2. Is GingerBlur usable for the same purpose? Or are you talking about applying that *after* OLYFR_U4_1.5.2?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
Thanks for clarifying!

[Atrix 4G General] Gjm127:
Hey guys, I had previously stored my 5000+ sms messages from my XperiaX10 into my Gmail account... After I bought the Atrix4G, when I restored these messages, I saw that just some part of them were restored because there is a limitation of SMS's per conversation in Android 2.2!

Is there ANY way for me to restore ALL my messages back to my phone? Any way to remove that SMS limitation they put (which is 1000 per contact I believe)? If it's through an application (through rooting the phone, anything I can do...?)

Thanks a bunch!
[Atrix 4G General] b14ck0ut:
Try the handcent text messaging app. Its free plus will give you a TON of extra features including unlimited inbox limit.
[Atrix 4G General] Gjm127:
hmm I liked the idea, buuuut I believe Handcent syncs directly from the Messaging App so if the Messaging app doesn't get the restored messages from Gmail, I'm guessing Handcent wouldn't either? It bugged the only time I tried... I could try again, but I don't really know what I'm talking about hehe...

And I've never really used Handcent, how does it work when you receive a message? Do you get 2 notifications? Is it possible to set Handcent as the default messaging app? How does it work?
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
With 5000+ messages, wouldn't you rather leave them in Gmail? At least you could use the search feature in there
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
Yea wouldn't it be better to save that in an archive then build it again with another app now? Of course I don't know how you could import them if the SMS applications don't support it but....
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
It just doesn't make sense to have 5000 text messages in that format. That's a lot of scrolling if you are trying to find a specific text message, whereas, in the Gmail app you can use keywords, such as the contact's name and whatever you were talking about and then BAM, there it is.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve1515:
I have Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo installed on my Evo 4G, and it's great. My problem is that I can't get the hotspot to work with 4G. I've tried both the Sprint Hotspot and the Wi-Fi teather application that is included. I have full bars with 4G and a speed test with the phone shows that 4G works, but when I turn on the Sprint Hotspot, it just quickly goes from "Hotspot Active" to "3G Hotspot Active" and back and forth a few times before finally giving up with 4G and just staying on the "3G Hotspot Active" mode. Is there anyway to fix this? Is 4G Hotspot mode not supported with this rom?

Thanks :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve1515:
Thanks guys! Looks like it works. I thought I tried it before and it switched over to 3G just like the Sprint Hotspot.

Does anyone know why the Sprint Hotspot doesn't allow 4G?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
It does allow 4G technically, the 4G just doesn't work with the hack.

As i said in the previous post, there's no place where to write the puk, actually i don't know if even the puk option is gone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] esist:
Either undo what you've done to it (flash back to stock) or put the SIM in another phone to put in the PUK.

But if you've ****ed it up as bad as you make it sound (i.e. "unusable") what good is the SIM anyway? :p

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew where the res folder is in the system? I am trying to compile my own custom theme for the theme chooser in Gingerbread, and I need to access some of the files in the system default theme.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Conap:
well there are alot of res folders in a rom. Every apk has one. The one you are probably looking for is under system/framework/framework-res.apk....open that apk and you will see the res folder with the drawable folders in it that have most of the png's for the default theme.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CondemnedSoul:
As Conap stated most of the images are in framework-res but there is also a good amount that you will want to change in system/app/SystemUI.apk. This is the default Theme Chooser apk and where a lot of the images that you won't find in framework but will probably want to change can be found.
[Droid X General] whitetiger2429:
ok i figure out how to unroot with Z4, but how do i get rid of fisson rom manager and the installed theme. Is there a link to download the stock 2.2.1, and if so can i just boot the phone into recovery and flash a zip.
[Droid X General] jgraham4598:
Get the Team Black Hat app in the market for 2 bucks. Download the full 2.3.340 sbf zip and flash in recovery. You will be back to a completely clean slate.

I just saw your other post. You might want to read up on rsd lite. It will sbf your phone through your computer since you don't have bootstrap.
[Droid X General] whitetiger2429:
i have bootstrap i redownloaded it. im trying to get this back to stock i want the thuderbolt
[Droid X General] whitetiger2429:
which one do i installed
[Droid X General] bouchigo:
Just download the maderstcok zip file for free and it accomplishes the same thing.
[Droid X General] whitetiger2429:
ok i downloaded that zip but its stuck in the stock boot up should have i down a wipe before doinf this
[Droid X General] bouchigo:
Yeah you should have done it beforehand.

Go into stock Moto recovery and wipe cache and do a wipe data/factory reset then reboot and you should be good.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
If that still doesn't work I'd recommend SBF'ing. It is quite easy and it gets you back to 100% stock
[Droid X General] shukero:
Ok, this is why people who either don't ask question before rooting, or just dont ask questions period should NOT root and rom their phones.

You should have known from the beginning to get bootstrapper, and then before doing ANTYHING you should have backed up your default operating system. This way you dont have to shell out $$$$ for something thats free for them and for you. they are making 200% profit on this guy lol.
[Droid X General] mcp770:
not sure if this was made clear but my attention span is only worth for posts. Anyways, you need to get your root back and install bootstrap. Then use the tbh 340 zip or maddetstock and flash 340. When you reboot you will be unrooted 340 stock. Then format your sd and you will be out of the box stock.
[Droid X General] bladebarrier:
Not quite. Closer to stock, but not actually stock. There are directories that sbf'ing, or using the zipped "ota" won't remove. I found that out quickly when manually removing pieces of the Tranquility ROM.

I'm not positive, but I don't think sbf'ing or using the ota zip will remove the initial boot logo, either (I'd have to double check this, but certainly at one point in time it would not).

You also are generally left with remnants of the bootstrapper. This is why in order to get ota updates in the past, people went in and renamed/deleted as needed.

As simple as wiping/formating/sbf'ing would seem, it really doesn't wipe the phone to stock.
[GT540 Optimus General] kn100:
Well..I bought this phone off a friend a while ago..was perfectly working and came with Cyanogen mod 7 2.3.2, and was booting and working perfectly, I plug it into my computer to charge it today and and it starts vibrating randomly at seemingly arbitrary times, so I restarted the phone thinking it was just a bug..and it no longer boots D: It stays at the LG logo for about 3 seconds and then just goes black. I can access and use the recovery menu via menu+power+volumeup but I have no idea what I need to do

Can someone give me a basic idea of what I can try? This is urgent, as this is my only phone D:

I am very grateful for any help I receive

[GT540 Optimus General] kn100:
H.u...h...It was the broken camera button. The phone came with the camera button jammed into the phone making it not work, was depressed, guess it randomly got jammed again causing it not to boot. after some pin picking the phone boots perfectly.

So there you have it kids, if the phone is not booting, check to see if the camera button is jammed :D
