[Edit] I got the CM 1.4 recovery to flash and updated CM from sd card... Then hit reboot. It's been sitting on G1 screen for like 10 minutes. Do I need to wait longer or is this a bad sign? What should I do?
Please help!
THank you!

Hi guys...
My phone = stats in my sig. (Sorry, its the only way I can keep up with all the details.)
Okay... rephrasing this.
I'm trying to upgrade from the stats below to the current Cyanogenmod. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Main_Page tells me to do one of three things, none of which tell me how to get rid of Dark Hero theme and I'm not sure about how to get it up to the latest radio/spl etc.
I flashed the recovery (terminal didn't make any feedback messages so I'm not sure if it worked?) and when I did a power-on while holding X, it didn't go into recovery so I"m kinda lost.
I just want to get the latest Cyanogen mod up and running. (Latest stable, not 5.x)
If anyone can give me a hand I'd really really appreciate it.

A couple of things:
5.0.7 IS the latest stable build. If you want 4.2.15.1, you're going to have to search the forum for it because Cyanogen is no longer working on Donut (1.6) builds.
However, if you want the latest CM, its very simple.
First, download either the latest clockwork recovery or amon_ra recovery. follow the instructions to flash recovery. to check if it installed correctly, you dont power on while holding X, you power on while holding the home button. (alternately, grab the "quick boot" app from the market and you can one-touch boot to recovery or bootloader from your home screen)
Next, download the latest radio and appropriate SPL. In order to install these, follow the instructions here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/DangerSPL_and_CM_5_for_Dream#Prerequisites
Note: MAKE SURE YOU FLASH THE RADIO FIRST OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
Once you follow those steps, you'll have CM 5.0.7 installed.
EDIT: I noticed you grabbed CM recovery 1.4. That recovery is old and outdated, also no longer supported. You need to grab one of the recovery files I mentioned.
Crap...
So trying to follow the instructions at Cyan WIki...
And like I said above, it's now sitting on G1 screen indefinitely...
Have I lost my phone?
Is there any way to fix this?
power off the phone by pulling the battery. boot into recovery by holding home+power. plug your phone into your computer. once there, use ADB from your computer to flash the new recovery, then power the phone off again. power it back on into recovery again (home+power) and then follow the steps in the wiki page i linked you to.
OMG that's wonderful I thought I had ruined it!
But I have no idea how to use ADB. I have never used it before. I found the site but I'm totally lost at that point o_o
If I plug phone into my computer it doesn't recognize to let me access the folder so I can't add files there since I can't Mount it.
How do I add the recovery from ADB?
ok, first things first, make sure you have your drivers installed and adb working (for this, youre going to need the adnroid SDK installed, which can be found here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/download.html?v=android-sdk_r06-windows.zip). to check and see if adb works, open a command prompt on your computer(start>run>cmd), navigate to the sdk tools directory (for example, mine is C:\android\tools\ yours might be different depending on where you install the sdk) and then type "adb devices" without the quotes. if it shows your device connected, proceed to the next step:
Copy the recovery image you're going to install to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your G1 via usb to your computer and type the following commands into the command prompt
adb shell
#mount -a (this can give back an error if you don't have an ext partition, don't worry about it and just proceed)
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/custom-recovery-name-here.img
once that's done, you will have your new recovery going, then proceed with the steps to upgrade the radio and SPL from the wiki page i linked earlier. after you have the radio and SPL done, flash CM and you're all set!
Okay... I tried to use the SDK to install the drivers (it says in INstalled packages: Drivers r3) but It's not showing up under ADB devices when I check it in CMD.
It just says List of Devices: then there's nothing.
I think maybe because my phone won't go past recovery right now, I can't get the drivers working?
Is there a place I can manually download the drivers so I can manually install them?
I went in and followed the instructions here; http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html to install or upgrade and either way my computer is telling me I have the best driver installed for the HTC android phone. I don't SEE a place exactly like they say that says ADB Interface device.. that doesn't even appear on my list.
I really, really wish I could find my sd card adapter. That would make this considerably easier.
Please could someone help with the last question above?
I'm trapped at this point and can't figure out how to go onward.
For starters, don't flash your radio or SPL. FASTBOOT them.
Setting up adb is very useful. Download the sdk and extract it to where ever you want it and add the "tools" folder to your windows Path. There and HUNDREDS of tutorials on how to do this. Google it. Fastboot is just as easy as using adb, and safer than flashing.
Ok, so I know this will eventually get buried in the forums but I thought I would attempt to give a little basic info here. Right now the QA section is flooded with people that have flashed and are now soft bricked (have problems but can recover) or hard bricked (have problems and cannot recover). I'm hoping that I can help some people prevent these issues to an extent.
Terminology, the differences in my opinion.
Soft brick- Your flash didn't go right, something went crazy, etc, but either way you can't boot, stuck at ATT logo, boots into recovery no matter what, boots to phone--!--pc, BUT, your hardware buttons work or ADB works and you are able to boot into DOWNLOAD mode.
Hard brick- Your flash didn't go right, something went crazy, etc, but either way you can't boot, stuck at ATT logo, boots into recovery no matter what, boots to phone--!--pc, BUT, your unlucky and hardware buttons do not allow access to DOWNLOAD mode or ADB is not downloading.
Also, after a new flash or flash to stock, it's a good idea to immediately enable USB debugging. Menu, Settings, Applications, Developement, check the box for USB debugging. It will make things easier later on.
1. First. BEFORE you flash, can you access download mode with your buttons??? Test it.
3 Methods.
Method 1: (ADB - from recovery or normally booted with usb debugging on)
Open a cmd prompt/console/shell
adb shell
adb reboot download
Method 2: (KEY COMBO)
Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one
Insert the battery
Hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power
Method 3: (KEY COMBO)
Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one
Insert the battery
Hold both Volume buttons (from i9000 just down, don't touch the power button)
Plug in the USB cable and continue holding both Volume buttons
If not, use designgears fix. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812434
2. Second. Download the SDK, drivers for your PC, and learn some basic ADB commands, ie, adb reboot download, adb reboot recovery, adb shell. Here's my quick guide. ADB can be used when the OS is running, when in recovery, and when stuck on ATT boot screen.
Here's what I do. After you download the sdk and unzip. There is a folder called tools. I copy that to c:
Then open a command prompt and type,
C:
CD tools
Then issue adb commands.
adb reboot, adb reboot download or whatever command you need.
Of course make sure your phone is connected via USB and debugging is enabled.
Here's another method for using adb.
1) start-> run-> sysdm.cpl
this will start the system properties. you can reach this from right clicking "My Computer" and hitting properties. Windows 7 though is different. The above method is most universal.
2) Move to Advanced Tab that pops up. From there click the "Environment Variables" button.
http://wtfokc.com/sef****/sysdm-1.gif
3) In the window that pops up, find the "PATH" area in the "System Variables" listbox at the bottom:
http://wtfokc.com/sef****/sysdm-2.gif
4) Click edit again, put in path to the AndroidSDK tools folder. Do it like shown otherwise you can biff something up. DO NOT REMOVE ANYTHING. Just add a SEMICOLON ( ; ) to the last of the line that's already there, then the path to the folder.
http://wtfokc.com/sef****/sysdm-3.gif
5) If on Win7 you shouldnt have to reboot. XP however will. Then you are set. You can now just load a CMD prompt and do ADB without having to CD TOOLS.
3. Third. Install Clockwork Recovery! Root your phone and download ROM Manager from market. Install Clockwork recovery from ROM Manager. BOOT into recovery to make sure it works. You will have to choose reinstall packages from stock recovery. What ROM Manager does, it put an update.zip on the root of your SDcard, then when you choose reinstall packages from stock recovery it install update.zip. I personally leave the update.zip file on my sdcard at all times, just in case.
Once you have clockwork installed, make a Nandroid backup of a good running rom. In case something happens, if you can boot into recovery, then you can possibly restore your nandroid to at least get you up and running quickly, and without the need of a pc.
NEW Info!!! You can recover from a hard brick, maybe. Here's how to create a USB Jig to reproduce the button download mode for you folks who don't have it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841512
Here's another thread about the USB Jig method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551&highlight=USB+jig
If my captivate was one that had the missing button recovery/download out of the box, I would probably know how to make a USB jig or have one already before flashing. Even with the 3 button fixes that are out, it looks like some people are still bricking.
****Disclaimer****
This is just from personal exprience. I have flashed most roms available, and I have experienced every variation of soft brick mentioned above and have recovered.
I find that being able to get your phone into download mode and knowing how to use Odin will be your 2 biggest life savers after something bad happens.
This will not keep you from getting a bad flash or something else, but having this knowledge ahead of time may help you recover from issues more quickly and without asking a question on the forums that have been asked dozens of times.
Also, personally, if I cannot perform step 1, access download mode with buttons, I personally would be VERY cautious about flashing! ADB reboot download is nice, but if you are stuck at ATT logo or phone--!--PC mode then ADB doesn't work, YOU HAVE TO USE BUTTONS.
Just my 2 cents, take it or leave it.
Edit. Added some new info to post. Thanks for extra info guys. I'll mirror the links to the images later when not at work.

excellent write up. a must-read for anyone even thinking about flashing

Ok first off something that should be added to this is always may sure you have usb debug mode Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging enabled on your phone. Don't take it out of debug mode. This will allow you to issue adb commands if you have.
If you are getting to the att logo screen and not beyond that and you have debug mode enabled then you can use adb to reboot into either recovery or download mode.
Steps
1: Get the command prompt up and que up the adb command you want to issue either reboot download or reboot recovery. Don't press enter yet.
2: When the att screen comes on your pc should make a notification sound that the device is connected.
3: On the second notification sound issue your adb command and the phone will reboot into the mode you selected.
Mileage may vary but should work.
This has saved me a few times.

Thanks for the extra info. Malfuncion, awesome write up with pics, I'll add to first post later. I always forget about adding a system variable.
Sparker366, thanks, I always thought that at the ATT screen adb didn't, but you know what, I never tried.
I figured since I'm not a dev and don't have that knowledge I would try to help start this up to contribute a bit. And honestly, if you hop over to the QA sections there are so many threads that could be solved by knowing this info ahead of time. I doubt everyone will read it, but I hope it helps the ones that do.

This is my first smart phone and first experience with Android. I also don't have any experience with linux. Fortunately, I was able to avoid problems when I first started by reading, reading, reading. This type of information would have been invaluable. In fact, the tip on keeping debug mode on all the time is great to know, and I never saw that before.

Shameless bump here. New version of Cog uploaded, so that means there will be questions soon.
Thanks, great info.
FWIW........
I feel like I am of average intelligence, and would think I could nail download mode everytime by the 3 button method, but damn if it is hit and miss for me every other time.
One way I found (I didnt discover it, but read it somewhere) to nail it EVERYTIME is to remove sd and sim. Plug the usb to the phone AND THE PC, while odin is sitting and waiting. Then while holding both up and down volume buttons, insert the battery. It works every time with no fuss.
Thanks for the post, my vote for sticky as well.

Moving this to the top. More questions in QA that can be helped by reading these tips first.
I would also suggest that anyone who wants to flash actually test their phone's USB transfer ability before flashing.
The best way is to find a large file, perhaps one just under 2G in size and transfer it to the internal SD storage.
Test md5 checksums on the source and this file and make sure these match.
(you can use the 'md5sum <filename>' command from the terminal app, from Windows you can use a md5sum port for the source file win32 md5sum).
This will ensure your USB connection is stable enough for long, error free transfers to the phone.
Also important: it's useful to disable any powersave actions on your PC while using an app like ODIN.
Sorry all, moving this to the top. There are about 6 or 7 bricked phone Questions in Q & A now.
Awesome, clear and concise. Been trying to figure out how to make nandroid backups and this explained it very simply Thank you!
thanks for the reminder
there's so many steps to install a rom...
specially with download mode keycomb, i tend to not to remove sim and memory card cuz i dont want to lose or damaged my mcard. now i will remove each time!
another good reason flashing stock with odin before flashing new rom
I would also say its a good idea to back up your efs folder. Mine got all borked up when that jpc rom came out a while ago and it is a ton of work to fix. Sgs tools copies your nvdata.bin and. /nvdata.bak files to your sd card if you do a product code check. Or you can use root explorer.
Hoi Hoi people

I should of known reading around
there are too many update ways people are doing this ..Hack tool or original KDZ ..or just Black system way ..Too many loopholes for things to go wrong ..but now too late
Hmm...
Try a reflash...
This is a guide I followed from another forum, and posted elsewhere with some minor additions in case anyone had problems.
The guide is from a forum post at the android forums,it is NOT my work, the added bits are mostly what I have found from browsing here and from asking questions. While I can't be held liable if you mess your phone up having done so myself I thought this could helpa few people and save them searching various threads for answers so hope it helps
The guide
To install this ROM you need to have fastboot enabled on your phone. If you have Android 1.6/2.1 installed from LG, then fastboot is not enabled. I will explain how to enable fastboot on your phone (this involves re-flashing/replacing your currently installed firmware):
I am unable to post links yet so you will have to copy and paste the appropriate link into your browser replacing the ** with tt
KDZ Updater Carphone Warehouse Unlocked.zip can be downloaded at h**p://goo.gl/7aRTc - A link to a zip archive with all the files needed to flash to Android version 2.1 with fastboot (Carphone Warehouse Unlocked)
KDZ Updater Europe Open.zip can be downloaded at h**p://goo.gl/BOcYT - A link to a zip archive with all the files needed to flash toAndroid version 2.1 with fastboot (Europe Open)
Download the version that best applies to you, if you live in the UK, I'd recommend you download the Carphone Warehouse Unlocked version, whereas if you live in Europe, I'd recommend the Europe Open version (simple right? )
I live in the UK and used the open rom from Europe as the Carphone Warehouse rom would not install
Now, how to flash these versions; I'll explain in detail how to flash the ROM's from starting with backing up.
Instructions to install ROM with Fastboot:
1. Before you start, make sure you backup all your data by installing the z4root.1.3.0.apk file onto your phone, then open it and choose 'Permanent Root'. Your phone will root and reboot. Then go to the Market and install 'MyBackup Root', open it and do a backup of your apps and personal data (contacts, sms, call log etc.) Once this is done, go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Unmount SD Card, a notification in the notification bar should appear saying 'SD Card safe to remove'. Remove the battery cover and remove the SD card and store it in a safe place. Then continue to step 2.
2. Extract the .zip file you downloaded to your computer (e.g. your desktop). Open the folder and install MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser (msxml.msi).
3. Once that has finished, install LGAndroidDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver1.0_All_Win7.exe which are the drivers so your computer will recognize your phone.
4. Next, open KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
(i) Change 'Type' to '3GQCT' *THIS IS A MUST, THE UPDATE WILL NOT WORK OTHERWISE AND YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE*
(ii) Make sure 'PhoneMode' is set to 'DIAG'
(iii) Browse for the 'V20B_00+Fastboot.kdz' file.
5. Prepare the phone by enabling USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development>Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone to the computer via USB cable and wait for the drivers to install for the phone.
6. Click 'Launch software update' and do not use your computer until the update is complete. The update will take roughly 10-20 mins to complete.
If you have a problem with this try a different rom, this guide offers two to choose from.
Instructions to install CyanogenMod:
Once the update is complete, your phone will reboot, what you need to do is power off the phone and whilst the phone is off, press and hold the 'Camera' button all the way ANDpower on the phone, make sure you hold the 'Camera' button. The phone will display the LG logo and disappear, then display a blank screen. The phone is now in fastboot mode!
Now you want to download this file: Flashing CyanogenMod.zip and extract it to a folder called 'Android' (without the quotes '') on the C: drive (you'll probably need to make this folder yourself.
1. Now open CMD with administrator privileges (Search for CMD in the start menu and right click on 'cmd' and click 'Run as Administrator' )
2. Connect the phone to your computer via USB cable and wait for the necessary drivers to install.
If when connected with a usb cable the computer says "waiting for device" and nothing else happens try installing the fastboot drivers. You can do this by going to the control panel of your pc, from the Windows start menu, opening the list of devices and where you see the one representing your phone (likely, as was the case with me, it will say android and have a yellow exclamation mark over it). Different versions of Windows do things slightly different but what you need to do is simply update the driver by choosing the icons properties box choosing UPDATE or INSTALL DRIVER and when asked pointing it to the folder where you unzipped the drivers.
3. Then go back to the cmd window and type:
Code:
cd C:\Android
(i) Then type:
Code:
fastboot.exe -w
(ii) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe erase system
(iii) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash system system.img
(iv) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
(v) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe reboot
4. Your phone will now reboot with CyanogenMod 6.1.1 (Android 2.2.1). The first boot might take longer than a normal boot.
If your phone stays at a blank screen you simply forgot to do one of the above steps, in which case simply repeat them. It is likely if that happens that you simply forgot the flash boot image instruction.
5. You can now re-insert your SD card and go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Mount SD Card
Enjoy!
The instructions for flashing both the firmware with fastboot and flashing CyanogenMod are included in the zip archives called 'Readme'. I'll update the links so that you'll always have the most up to date version of CyanogenMod available for download, note that if you choose to update your phone you will loose all your data including apps etc. so backup before you update
And that, with a few comments added by myself, is the guide.
Once you have set your phone up the way you want power off your phone. Hold the HOME and POWER buttons down while the LG logo appears and you will see a menu appear on screen.
Using the volume down key to navigate the different menu choices, and the camera button to select an option choose the BACKUP OR RESTORE option and from the sub menu that it will give you choose BACKUP.
This will make a backup of your phone AND all your data, if you ever mess up an update or think you have damaged your phone in the future simply holdthe POWER and HOME buttons down and when the menu appears choose the RESTORE option

thanks a lot for your lengthy post and effort .I appreciate it .
but unfortunately U seem to miss the post I wrote.
MY LG doesn't even start anymore after using the Hack tool to upgrade it ...
SO its futile ??
I cant start the phone at all ...
After following yesterdays advice Its dead ..
Great init
Oh dang. Doesn't even turn on? No LG boot logo?
Well...if it's bricked...the only three ways are:
1) Get it repaired/replaced.
2) Buy a new phone.
3) Use it as a paperweight.
=)
No my friend ..its DEAD !!!!
following the guide to the letter
Installed parser got the hack tool
run all as admin and made sure I started windows enabler
All the things in the guide
worked a charm until reboot
Not its black and dead!!!
ANY IDEAS !!!!?????
Have you tried this...
If you did it with kdz updater than:
pull out battery, sim and sd
connect phone with computer
disable lg modem in the device manager
flash a rom with fastboot
go in fastboot by camara+power
connect to computer
type 'fastboot -w' and 'fastboot reboot' in cmd

Yes of course man I ll try thanks for the encouragement and your effort
It doesn't power at all
I DOESN'T connect to the pc
It Makes no difference if i have battery in or out .
sd card and sim are long removed ..and I tried with and without battery as well.

but its dead !!!
I understand id have a chance if i had at least a boot but I dont It dotn boot it dont Power up
Try getting into Emergency/Download mode by holding down "Volume Down" button and plugging into PC.
After that...try reflashing.

Hmm...probably give it a rest for a while...and then try again.
If all else fails..last resort.
Send back to LG for repairs or replacement.

Hi Guys,
I am a noob to xda so please bear with me...
Hoping someone can help me out here.. I will try and explain in as much detail as possible and provide you with as much Info from my phone as I can.
Firstly my phones details
Motorola Atrix 4g (UK version) Second phone as busted the last one. Bought outright as a retail sale.
Orange UK
System Version: 45.31.0.MB860.Retail.en.GB
Android Version: 2.3.4 (After UK released update)
Baseband Version: N_01.100.00R
Webtop Version: WT-1.2.0.133_38
Kernel Version: 2.66.32.9 [email protected]#2
Ok so, decided to root my phone. To do so I used petesMotorolaRootTools_V1.07 found on the website psouza4.com/bionic/
This worked fine and an app installed from the App Market confirmed that the phone was Rooted and had Superuser permissions.
Next I downloaded ClockWorkMod Rom Manager from the Market Inc Premium, SetCPU, Rom Toolbox & Titanium Backup Free. I had a quick look at these apps once downloaded but didnt really do a lot,
However, when Rom Manager opened it promted me to Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery, Which I did and then selected Back up current Rom. I also did this, (bear with me it gets a little vague here as to what I remember seeing)
Now I'm sure it said something like Nandroid Backup, which I selected. It proceeded to say something along the lines of, Backing up or phone will now reboot??
Anyhow, what ever it said, it started to reboot. The Motorola Red Circle logo came up but then at the top it said reboot failed and something ilse that didnt make sense then froze. I pulled the battery and rebooted. Seemed to work fine. Maybe a touch laggy but nothing to bad.
Next did my research into what ROM I'm likely to want to try. Found a few but seemed from what I have read on various forums that they dont work well for uk phones. Then decided perhaps then flashing should be left alone and went back to PetesMotorolaTools and unrooted. before I unrooted however i removed all apps that required root access first. Possibly a mistake?
I noticed that a few preinstalled apps werent working, nothing important or anything I use but there icons were like Blue settings icons all the same.
Did a factory reset through the handset also, in an attempt to return to factory settings.. not much changed really. Also tried to update software though the Motorola website but it said I was all up to date.
I thought maybe that something went wrong so I rooted again. This time the unroot failed. I then dowloaded all the rooted apps that I had before and then unrooted. This worked. Not sure if coincedence or not but it worked and when unrooting it said unfreezing apps about 6 times, before the complete message. Then uninstalled the root apps again.
Most, not all but most of those preinstalled apps were then working ok.
I read a little bit more bout Roms and decided to have another bash. Found and downloaded a few to comp. Then I place an SD card into phone and Flashed it. then tranferred a copy to its root.
Rooted the phone in the same way as before. Downloaded all the apps again opened CWM RM, Flashed CWM Recovery again as was unsure that the time I did it before would work. Then selected back up Current ROM. Without any message this time the phone started to reboot.
It came up with the recovery screen (Android man and !) From what I have read the next step is to tap the bottom right of the screen to bring up the menu.
This did not work nor did anything else happen. After waiting about 25mins with nothing more happening I pulled the batt again.
Decided I'd boot into recovery mode manually and see if the bottom right of screen would work that way. turned off then held On and down Vol. Fastboot showed at top, Scrolled and selected Android recovery. Same Android Man and ! came up, tried tapping the bottom right of screen again.... It didnt work.
Read more on the forums where someone said that pushing up and down on the Vol buttons works. Tried this and hey presto.. a new menu appears. Shown as follows.
Android system recovery <3e>
Android system recovery utility
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
No back up options so rebooted....
Anyway thought I'd try a few times to use CWM RM to flash a rom to device. Each time it took me throught this same process.
Eventually I though what the hec just try and flash it...
So I selected the apply update from sdcard option.
Then selected the ROM I saved to SD Card.
Then the following text appears on screen in yellow.
--Install /sdcard...
finding update package...
Openeing update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation abborted
I tried this a few times to no avail. even tried downloading the roms from CWM RM with no change.
Read some more on the forums and somewhere read to rename the ROM update.zip
Did this and tried again.... No Joy!!!
Selected Fix permissions in an attempt to clean up and thats as far as I have got...
I'm at the end of my tether and dont know what to do...
Please, please, please someone help me get to the bottom of my dilemma..
Thanks for reading and any help in advance.
Just a little more info to help diagnose
CWM RM Details
Rom Manager Premium v4.8.1.3
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0
Latest Recover;ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0
Thanks again peoples for taking the time to at least read this..
No where in there did I see "I unlocked my bootloader"
That's fine that you're rooted, but to use CWM Recovery, install ROMs, make Nandroid Backups, etc. you need to unlock your bootloader first! See the international part of the Pudding thread (since your in UK) in the dev section.
Sent from my CM7 Atrix 4G
Ah Hah! You are correct at no point did I unlock my Booty, Thank you I shall give that a go and report back...
Ok so, I have trawled the forum and many others this avo on my research quest to unlock the bootloader as advised above but have been unsucessful so far.
I used the Pudding thread as you said.
when downloading the files advised I noticed that some were downloading as unrecognised files. I still proceeded to follow instructions as written.
Some of them like the RSD Lite I managed to unzip and extract with a programme I have however the next one needed said it was Undefined File type.
Anyway I deleted those files and tried following the other method listed underneath the driver via the link at "Guide for beginners provided by..."
This was unsucessfull as the "fastboot oem unlock" command was not recognised.
Pulled the batt and rebooted into normal mode and I'm back at SQ1
Bit stuck if anyone has any ideas..
Ok, here goes...
1) Make sure you have the drivers installed on your computer. (Available in Pudding Thread)
2) Go to pudding thread, and grab the Unlock Only IHOP sbf file (assuming your not on AT&T).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
"Unlock:
Unlocker only SBFs - These small 1mb SBF files will get your phone ready to fasboot oem unlock. They are the files most people should use.
ATT ONLY - Unlocker for 1.8.3 and 4.5.91 ATT firmwares
Orange/Bell/Telestra/Latin America/International users ONLY - Download IHOP"
3) Download & install RSD Lite. (Available in Pudding Thread)
4) Put phone in RSD Protocol Mode.
a) Power off phone
b) Upon Powering ON, hold Power Button + Volume UP
5) Connect Phone to computer via USB
6) unzip the IHOP sbf file to root of your C:\, open RSD Lite program, and drag sbf file onto File Name Box. Make sure RSD Lite sees your device connected to it, and then flash away.
7) After the sbf has flashed (hopefully without any errors), reboot your phone into fastboot mode (Power Button + Volume Down; when you see fastboot, press volume up to enter fastboot mode).
8) Re-connect phone to computer if you disconnected it.
9) In the folder where your fastboot files are located (if you don't have fastboot files, go download them from sticky in General Section), press Shift + Right Click, select Open Command Window Here.
10) With phone in fastboot mode, connected to PC and command window open in fastboot file location, type:
fastboot oem unlock
*This will give you your device #
Then type:
fastboot oem unlock [insert your # here]
10) Bootloader should unlock, then type fastboot reboot to reboot the phone. Should say Unlocked on boot screen now, if all went well.
11) Install Rom Racer's Recovery or Rom Manager, and you're good to go.
Think that about cover it... if you have any problems, give details of what is happening and at what step. Also, check the Pudding thread for possible solutions, as most problems have already been solved there.
Thank you for your explanation... I will give it a go when I get back from work tomorrow...
I appreciate you taking the time to help..

A BIG THANKS!!!
Thanks so much for the advice and instructions... Unlocked beautifully... Now to find the ideal ROM....
Dont suppose there are any suggestions for International (UK) Atrix users??
Really appriciate the help..
Regards
Danny
I would recommend that you flashed TWRP 2.0 through CWM direct link. It lets you have touch screen in recovery; much easier! Then if you like CM7 you could try this or if you like the MIUI style (like me!) you would want to try this! It hasn't in-game audio yet but it's much cooler in my opinion. But Neutrino CM7 is really great!
Im not sure, maybe someone else can confirm. You should be using moto-fastboot to unlock & not regular fastboot, right?

People have had problems with TWRP.............stick with Romracers CWM, it's tried and trusted. If the touch screen in CWM gets you off, so be it, but I'd rather have a recovery that works with all ROM's, and not just some.

i also have an e617g on 4.1.2 bell network id like to root and unlock the bootloader so i can install cwm and finally swap roms, this is a nice phone but it barely exists on the web any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
Never mind figured it out myself. I may post a guide here soon. Seeing as any help I ask for is ignored. I'd rather help than hold back
Turn your lG-e617g into an LG-e610 then root it and install cyanogenmod.

this is my first tutorial so message me if something on here isnt clear.
step 1: download things, this is crucial, you need to download this stuff, it took me a while to find everything that ACTUALLY WORKED so i have it all in a nice little package to download.
step 2: make sure your phone is NOT plugged in the computer, install drivers if you do not have them. i have the drivers that worked for me in the package via direct download links. if they dont work for you somethings screwy with your computer and youll have to scour the internet to find drivers that'll work, google is your friend.
step 3: make sure your phone is recognised with your lappytop or computer. thats right i said lappytop, so sue me.
step 4nce all the drivers are installed and your phone is connected to the computer youll want to open up the folder labled: "LG FlashTool and Accessories" inside youll find "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" open that right up.
step 5: next youll see a modded lg tool made by some guy on the internet, im not sure who but he/she did a good job thanks man/wo-man!!
ok youll want to leave all settings to default dont touch any thing, its good to go as is.
step 6: make sure phone is plugged in and usb debugging is enabled, use the kdz updater to browse for this file (download it via links in the package) "V10D_downgrade.kdz" then click on "Launch software update" this takes a while go make a coffee.
step 7: when its done its magic, your phone will boot up and youll see the LG logo for about 10 minutes any longer and your in a boot loop remove battery put it back in and hold both volume buttons down and power at the same time. time it carefully the lights on the soft keys will come on and a split second later the phone will slightly vibrate, the second you feel that press the home and hold it for about 10 seconds and the phone will do a hard reset, the phone will turn on now and initiate the first time use wizard, its in russian at first so just change your language to whatever, assuming english here. the phones software is now rooted just no su/superuser installed download from play store and update binary in settings of su app.
step 8: Unlocking bootloader time! after you flashed the software using kdz updater your phones ID is now technically an e610 now instead of an e617g, so unlocking the bootloader is now possible, connect your phone to computer, turn usb debugging on and drag and drop "emmc_appsboot.bin" into the root of your INTERNAL SD, also kill 2 birds with one stone here by also copying the recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-e610.img you downloaded via links in the txt document to the same place just rename it "recovery.img to make it easier also make sure you place the cm rom in the external sd. we need the bootloader unlocked to allow for cwm installation and good ol' rom swapping, open the folder "ADB" hold shift right click any where in the folder and select open "command window here",
type in the cmd window obviously without quotations: "adb shell" hit enter, then type "su" enter again then type "dd if=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5" your bootloader is now unlocked, now type in "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17" this just installed clockwork mod. to boot into recovery and install cyanogen (the one im using. btw its a powerhouse compared to stock!!!) type in "reboot recovery"
step 9: factory reset, clear partition, wipe dalvik cache, install cyanogen, reboot, ENJOY.
seems i cant upload the programs needed so all i can do is this:
http://199.91.154.133/15ihz730pw2g/qwyqbfcp9fe7uhu/cm-10.1-20130725-UNOFFICIAL-e610.zip
this is the cyanogenmod rom.
http://199.91.154.102/r595o5bou5eg/bb2s0ohuj3jnflo/V10D_downgrade.kdz
this is the pre-rooted rom that allows su access to unlock bootloader this also
changes the phones id from e617g to e610, startup wizard is in russian at first simply change to english.

That happens when the kdz file is corrupted. Redownload the firmware and try again
its more than likely a bad connection causing a bad download also are you starting off with an e617g or e610?
Will all app data, contacts, etc. be lost using this method? Thanks in advance!
