Ok so i have a MT3g running Cyans 5.0.7 this is obviously a 32b. Unfortunatley i made the most retarded mistake of trying to flash a new recovery rom 1.7.0 from 1.2.6 and instead of booting in recovery i did it directly from adb shell on my pc while phone was booted on rom. It oddly didnt give me any error messages but when i tried booting in recovery i get the mytouch green logo screen and wont boot. There are no recovery logs tried both commands and i cant update my rom nor can i push the engineering spl because i was told u need to be in recovery for that? Is that it? Is this phones recovery done? What are my options? Thank You in advance!
Btw looked at other posts i promise this is not related.
Phone however does boot to my rom just not in recovery?

Follow this guide and only do the custom recovery steps of it (based on the conclusion that you already have root :0)

Alright guys i figured it out this is what i did THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH to this guy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133
Something is not right with my phone. After each reboot it boots into standard recovery, not the installed Amon RA.
In order to get into Amon RA recovery, I have to re-flash it each time. Same thing happened with Clockwork recovery as well.
The phone is rooted with OneClick successfully. I use Rom Manager in order to flash the recovery.
I were not able to find any related topic with the same issue, or maybe I am blind. All this Android moding stuff isn't that simple for a noob)
do you still have root? What's your Radio/SPL? If so, reboot in fastboot (back+power) and use fastboot to flash the recovery. Download the correct recovery for your phone and put it in your tools folder. Make sure you have ADB working (go to the development sections and look at the saphhire hacking wiki if you don't know how), check for devices by typing into a command prompt "adb devices" and it should show your phones connected via usb. Then just flash through fastboot.
You can also use the method above in one of the first posts in the general section. i just did this with my wife's phone and it worked.
This issue has been answered like 5 times by me... and PRETTY SURE more by others...
PLEASE, do a search!
Fixed. I had boot loop and recovery issue. I downgraded to cupcake, used flashrec with cyanogen mod recovery 1.4, flashed HTC 1.6 rooted update, and then cyanogen mod 4 and 6 on top of 4. Worked like charm.

EDIT: Basically I was getting the errors because the phone had done the OTA update to FRG83D and the file I was trying to use to restore it was for FRG83B Here is the link to the second file for FRG83D http://android.clients.google.com/p...7ff5575808.signed-opal-ota-75603.687ff557.zip
Long story short, my son has this phone, I rooted it with a unoffical 2.2.1 rom that was running around a few weeks ago. While I was at work one day he downloaded the OTA which broke root and caused FC's on tons of stuff, couldn't even het to the home screen or into the menu. I rebooted into recovery, (which was not RA like I had put on it, now it was back to stock) did a data wipe as well as a wipe of cache, now it won't boot past the splash screen.
I can get into fastboot and stock recovery. Phone is recognized under fastboot, but not through adb. Can someone point me in the right direction, not new to android just the MT3G.....

You are in good shape...
Run this command and post the output!
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
Then we can determine which RUU to flash to get back to stock...
From there you can either update OTA, or root and flash whatever you want!
C:\Users\Owner>fastboot getvar cid
cid: T-MOB010Æ^á►
finished. total time: 0.002s
I don't think a ruu will work though, seeing as the phone will only connect to the computer in fastboot. I also tried the stock SAPPIMG.nbh and it doesn't get picked up in fastboot.

Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then you should be in RUU mode... now try to run the ruu and it should find your device!
EDIT: I tried a different RUU, and it went a little further, but ended up saying:
ERROR[156]: IMAGE ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
ERROR[170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR in the ruu program
Fastboot screen does show "RUU USB"
check your pm
Looks like the hboot upgraded, but the rest isn't, and it won't let me downgrade because of the upgraded hboot. Soooo if anyone has the official 2.2.1 RUU for this phone please let me know!!
I'm in the exact predicament as the OP, good luck to solving this.
I think I fixed it, while looking around I found this post and flashed the file through stock recovery. I'm booted and setting up now.

I'm in a pretty similar predicament I flashed the new hboot then the 2.2.1 then tried out a new boot.img with the r.o secure=0 in build prop. Then i rebooted to recovery and it was stock? so I'm like f*ck. So I reboot the device and it's stuck at the green screen.
I've got the tmobile mytouch 32b with the latest hboot and recovery and no system.img
I think that's about the same situation I was in, try flashing the file above in stock recovery, don't see how it can do anymore damage. At least that's where I was at with the phone. I couldn't even use a goldcard to do anything, but this worked.
So I'm flashing the zip you posted right now and let me tell you when I saw it installing my I started sweating and now it's going to the android logo. It booted Thank you for the find
I tell you what messed me up is I used the wrong flash_image binary when I tried to flash the boot.img
Glad it worked! I spent about a day and a half dicking around with this thing, getting no where, then I found that and all troubles where gone in a matter of minutes.

Yeah this should be stickied. I'm a sprint hero user myself and although the phones are very similar it's got enough of a difference to screw you. So did you get that sigh of relief like I did. Mine comes mainly from the fact I know my girlfriend isn't gonna kill me or know about this.
LOL, yeah this is my kids phone and I was about to just buy a new one to shut him up and just mess with this when I had time. But yeah, I've done most of my stuff on the cdma Hero and now I've got the EVO. NEVER have I ran into a mess like this before.

just a note for people in the future use superoneclick to root and then clockwork mod ion/magic gsm for recovery
I used Superoneclick to root but in order to get the recovery to stick I had to remove /system/etc/install-recovery.sh from the rom.. then flash ra or clockwork

What if I don't have a stock recovery? I flashed another rom in hopes of avoiding the stock recovery reflash itself every boot-up. Unfortunately now I'm stuck with rebooting green screens with clockworkmod recovery.
From what I've read, I don't think this updated radio and spl will work with other ROM's yet. You could try flashing it in clockwork though. A couple of posts up I put the file you need to remove to avoid the stock recovery from reflashing itself everytime.

I wanted to reflash my DHD with Leedroid Rom again and I went to Rom manager and selected flash rom and the phone rebooted but then it got stuck in boot loops and its still stuck there. I can access hboot but not recovery. What can I do? Please help!
Anyone? Please help me, I can't use my phone?
Power the phone off and plug the charger in. Wait a few seconds and see if it loads into recovery. Flashing a rom should not have affected recovery partition at all. If that doesn't work and you have eng hboot s-off you can try manually reflashing recovery via fastboot. If that doesn't work you will have to flash an ruu via pd98img.zip method and start again from scratch.

Thank you so much for replying. The charger method didnt work. I have thought about the pd98img.zip method but before doing that I would like to try out the manually flashing the rom via fastboot but I havent been able to find any info on how to that, do you have a link or something to a small guide of sorts? I am not so experienced in that area, I do know how to open terminal emulaters and such but not on what to write and all that.
I was unlocked and rooted and ready to install CM7. I followed all the instructions in the Official Atrix CM7 OP to the T, but when it rebooted, I got stuck on the boot screen with "unlocked" and the red M logo.
I tried to repeat the process several times and ended kind of giving up, factory wiping, and then trying to restore my backup. It appeared to restore successfully, but when I rebooted the phone now wont boot at all. I can't even get it into recovery. No combination or order of button presses or battery pulls / usb plugins will turn it on. I just have a green light like it's charging but nothing is working.
Is it possible to brick your phone even after you have been successfully unlocked and rooted just while you are trying to install CM7?
Please help. I am really desperate here. . .

are you using the right recovery? romracer or rom manager!
i am using the tenfar CWM included in the Atrix 4G Automatic Unlock script package. will this not work?
if not, how do I replace it with the right recovery if I cant even get into the phone?

no, that the old recovery you can use the rom manager if you have , or romracer latest recovery you can find that in the development section, also ther was instruction in the cm7 thread.
you should have left it alone at the M boot screen because it takes about 5-10min to boot after unlock and flash...
everything you do now will have to be through fastboot DO NOT SBF FLASH ANYTHING!!!
Go here to use Fastboot
then download the system.img and boot.img from here
use fastboot to push the boot.img and system.img to your phone
if it gets stuck at the M boot screen let it sit for at least 10min
EDIT: get Romracer recovery from here and push that through to your phone through fastboot
Yeah youre going to have to fastboot wipe recovery then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Just download rom racers and rename it..recovery.img

Great. Sorry to be such a noob, but do I decompress the CWM-recovery-atrix5.zip file and push the recovery.img file that's inside it? or push the CWM-recovery-atrix5.zip itself?
Also - every time I am able to get my phone into fastboot mode, it says my battery is too weak to flash anything. I cant seem to get the battery to charge enough to execute any fastboot commands. Any way around this? a powered usb hub?

If you can borrow another Atrix user's battery, or take yours to an AT&T store and see if they can charge it for you.
If you're able to get back into recovery then you can just flash the zip.
If not, you'll need to extract the recovery.img to use it with fastboot, or just download it directly from the OP in romracer's thread. (The left hand link is just the .img, the right hand side is the CWM .zip) Then place it in the same directory as fastboot.
So I can literally flash a different recovery from within another?

Its the recovery from tenfar CWM. When I can get it into recovery it seems to be working - with the obvious exception of successfully installing CM7
So I can flash romracer recovery from inside tenfar recovery?
sorry if im being redundant - just dont want to screw it up!
thanks
Just download rom racers cwm. Img, head into fastboot and then fastboot flash recovery recovery-****** (whatever yer recovery image color u chose is)

I was able after a full day of leaving the phone plugged in, to charge it up. Then I flashed the rom racer recovery, rebooted into recovery (new version), installed CM7, installed gapps, and voila! A working CM7 Atrix. thank you soo soo much guys.

The phone stuck in boot screen and overheat, then restart.
In recovery mode is just black screen.
Phone has Neutrino 2.6GT+ ROM whit Clemsyn's OC kernel 1.6GHz and it has unlocked bootloader.
Can I change the kernel without booting in os or recovery?
This problem show after I was extracting very big zip file and phone overheat.

I am actually having this same problem.
My warranty-replacement (unrelated ear-piece failure) had 2.3.6 pre-installed. Thinking little of it, I unlocked the BL and rooted the phone as usual. After this, I tried to install a couple of the ROM's (Neutrino and Morrisoft) which I was most happy with on my previous Atrix.
After flashing either Neutrino or Morrislee's ROM, the phone hung on the M screen. Waiting approximately 30 minutes with no change, I pulled the battery.
When trying to enter recovery mode, the phone would state, "entering recovery mode..." Then go black.
I ended up using RSDLite and sbf flashing the stock 2.3.6 sbf file back to the phone. Then, I had to re-unlock the bootloader and re-root.
This never happened up to, and including 2.3.4, but did twice last night on these ROM's using 2.3.6, and I've flashed many ROM's and Kernels.
It happened to a lesser extent when trying to flash Clemsyn's stock enhanced kernel to the stock ROM, as I was able to enter recovery mode. Entering recovery mode, it would give errors: mounting cache, mounting system errors, and errors to accessing recovery and recovery log files.
Restore recovery would fail in this state, giving me the above errors as well.
Trying to mount the cache and system in recovery would fail. Trying to format cache and system then mounting these could occur temporarily, but would revert back to unmounted when a restore was attempted.
For these problems I pushed a recovery through fastboot.
Just one word: Fastboot. See if Fastboot works and flash everything from there. Or, as Alterna suggested, flash through RSDLite, but that a little dangerous and can brick your phone if you don't know what you are doing. Hope it helps.
Problem sloved!!!
