ok so i wanted to flash clockwork 3.0 but i was still running cm 6.1.1 and now i am stuck at the htc boot screen. i also cant get into recovery please i am begging for help.
please someone i really need help i obviously cant use my warranty obviously so please help me restore this or just get it back to working without a root anything
Dont worry pal.
OK,... AFAIK...... If you have flashed ClockworkRecovery 3, the only ROMs that will work are the 2.3 ROMs,... If you are trying to boot up a 2.2 ROM, it is likely to bootloop.
So boot back into recovery, full wipes, then flash a 2.3 ROM,... If that is what you were planning to do.
If you want to keep your 2.2 ROM on,... flash back to an older Clockwork Recovery,... then try to boot? If you get boot loops, try wiping cache and try again. If it still fails I would just do a fresh flash of your ROM again,... Remember full wipes 1st.

Can you boot into Hboot screen (phone off then volume-down + power)? If yes try to select recovery from the Hboot screen, it should reboot into recovery, if it doesn't and something is wrong with your recovery, Do you have an Eng. Hboot? , if yes do you have Andriod SDK set up and fastboot? If yes, boot into Hboot, select fastboot from the options, then plug in your usb. Once your device is recognized by fastboot:
Code:
fastboot devices
should return a serial number + "fastboot"
then reflash ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.1.3( you can download it from here:http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html then place the ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.1.3( make sure its named recovery.img) into the tools folder in AndriodSDk where Fastboot is located, then run the command :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
once rebooted your probably gonna be stuck at the HTC screen again, pull the battery, then Volume-down+ power back into Hboot, then select recovery from Hboot screen and it sholud reboot into ClockworkMod recovery, then reflash the rom of your choice.
thanks but i already fixed it by pressing sim lock and i have no idea why that worked and i should probably set up adb now right?

hello everyone
i'm not pro in things like this so don't use the hard terms or something. A few days back, i updated my phone to cyanogen 2.2.1. A friend helped me. I want to downgrade now. But, he hasn't made a backup and he hasn't one. So we tried a few options to downgrade, but all of them doesn't work. So my question is: Has someone a backup? We tried already a backup, but the 'data was to large'. So if you upload, please, be sure that it works!!
Thanks in advance
There is no way to put your LG to original state. From now you can only install moddified ROMs, but you cannot put original ROMs ( from LG)
First you need to enter in fastboot mode and make command "fastboot -w"
That will wipe all data that current ROM create. Now when LG is without that data put it in Download mode, and with KDZ updatr update to any fastboot ROM you can find on this or similar page. It should work without any problems.
P.S If you dont wont to setup phone any time you change ROM, make one backup with Clockworkrecovery or vit Amon Ra.
So if you do something bad, you just eneter to recovery mode, and put all data back .
when installed a fastboot rom you could flash an original rom?
pashinator- I read your instruction you give "long time ago": but nothing.
I can always install any room, but only roms with fastboot works.
Any other roms stuck on LG logo.

I dont understand it even more. Could i downgrade to a 2.1 version with all the old function? And what's a modified ROM? And what happens if i follow your commands a what should i do next? Sorry, but like i said: I'm not a pro in things like this.
Yes you can downgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.1
Process have two steps
in first step you enter fastboot and enter command
fastboot -w
now when your data are wiped pull battery , put it back, press down vol + power to enter into download mode, and flash with any fastboot 2.1 rom.
I didn't success to flash original rom, so I assume you will not succeed also
When I flash original rom, LG 540 stuck in first android animation.
But with fastboot roms, LG540 work perfect.
And where did i get a fastboot 2.1ROM?

But where? The only fastboot ROM i have that i know is the one i have on my phone. And that's 2.2.1
Or am i wrong?
EDIT: or did you mean to update it in fastboot?
And is it possible to use both ROM's the same? So that i can choose which ROM i want to use without up- and downgrade again and again?
Look you must have had a kdz file that you used to flash 2.2.1

fastboot rom is modified rom
but thing that all of us use is clockwork recovery ( home + power)
From recovery you can make restore and backup.
You enter in fast boot
fastboot -w ( to erase data files and cache)
then install new 2.1 rom via fastboot options
reboot LG 540 and voila , you have downgraded your phone.
When you all setup in new rom, go to home + power, make backup of system and then you can change systems by using recovery in clockwork recovery.
So you can have many backups, bat cannot have two active roms in same time, only one.

So after type fastboot -w i can instal the Original v20__A 2.1 LG ROM. And can i make a backup from 2.1 and 2.2.1? And use them both without change ROM?
PS: I haven't seen any clockwork after i let him update. Is that right?

YOU CANNOT MAKE BACKUP OF ORIGINAL ROM.
You can only make backup of modified roms.
But since I , and many other cannot flash original rom after flashing any modified rom I gues that you cannot also.
When you wont to flash original rom then you not need to use fastboot -w , since KDZ updater or original LG service tool will do it for you.
Clockwork is rom like any other. You must flash also recovery image, and then when you power up LG 540 with combination HOME + POWER and then you will see it.

Okay. Sounds maybe crazy but after update, i LOVE 2.2.1 . except one thing. my market is 'unfortunately stopped'. So does anyone know a thing or something to fix it, or an other market? thanks in advance
Hi,
I have a mt3g, TMobile. CyanogenMod 6.1.0, ClockWork recovery. Used ROM Managed to flash Amon Ra recovery, since I needed to re-calibrate the battery. It asked me to pick phone model, picked Ion/MyTouch 3G. After reboot:
- Stuck on splash screen if I try to go to recovery
- When booted up - a bunch of force closures, keeps playing a ringtone over and over and...
Everything I tried to do through ROM Manager didn't help.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Do you still have root? If you can get into ROM manager, reflash clockwork recovery, then wipe cache, dalvik, and run a fix permissions. That should get you back up and running long enough to try again to flash amon ra.
Not sure if the oem spl will let you fastboot flash a new recovery but that's your most reliable bet.
It sounds like it might be time to do a full wipe and reflash anyway. Have you heard of Ohsaka's SuperWipe?
I tried reflashing Clockwork through ROM Manager. It says "root granted", "clockwork flashed" immediately. When I try to boot into recovery - I get stuck on green MyTouch screen forever. Battery pull is the only way out.
I guess the problem is that I cannot get to any recovery anymore. Any ideas?

Fastboot is a different mode. Boot into hboot (vol down + power I think) and then select fasboot from the menu. Then plug into computer. From a command prompt type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The recovery needs to be in your tools or platform-tools folder and named recovery.img for this to work. Otherwise it would be fastboot flash recovery c:\path\to\recoveryfilename.img. Make sense?
Link to Amon_Ra Recovery 1.7 for MT3G 32B. http://www.filefactory.com/file/caa48b0/n/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan.img
Otherwise keep trying with ROM Manager. Might take a few attempts to get recovery to stick, even temporarily. It did for me. Flash once then flash again. There's also an option in ROM Manager settings to erase recovery prior to flashing. Check that and see if it helps.

Interesting... Where are you trying to flash recovery.img and getting that error? What method are you using? Are you sure you have the path to recovery.img correct?
As for fastboot, you need an S-OFF/engineering spl so I guess that's out.
What happens if you use Terminal Emulator?
su
flash_image recovery sdcard/recovery.img
Does that work? Keep at it, you have root so not all is lost. Eventually you will get there.
EDIT - make sure you rename the recovery to "recovery.img" and leave it on the root of your sdcard for my italicized instructions above to work. What ROM are you running? If flash_image doesn't work I need to know which version of the binary to give you.

Normally installing stock ROM will cure most things unless you have internal issues.
Flash stock recovery.img for the stock ROM you want to get back to... I would suggest 360. You should already have downloaded the stock ROM update.pkg file that corresponds to the stock recovery.img you flashed in fastboot. Make sure you don't have any other files on the root of your SD that conflict with you update.pkg and MOST importantly, make sure it's named "update.pkg"
Boot into recovery and choose option 2 to update. IF it gets stuck (now this first boot after installing stock ROM may take 20 minutes or so), then pull the battery, boot into recovery, and choose to do a factory reset again
Hi guys
I'm hoping somebody could please help me with my somewhat-bricked device..bricked in the sense that I don't know what to do with it. (i'm a noob to this). I've tried installing a custom rom and completely screwed up my dell streak 5.
So the phone doesn't boot anymore and just takes me to the option to install update.pkg off the sd card. I added the file along with recovery.img to the sd card.
360 17397 00 May 31, 2011 PKG Recovery Hash Latest Retail rom
My problem is that I cannot for whatever reason get Flashboot to work in order to flash the recovery.img first. under device manager you see android phone/android adb interface but still can't manage the connection to use cmd prompt/fastboot.
Is there any other way of getting the recovery.img to work without fastboot/thru the sd card. I have no idea what i'm doing anymore. I've tried installing the update.pkg but after installation it just stays on the dell logo loading screen forever.
PLEASE help if you can.

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. . .

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?

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!!!

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.

you probably originally flashed your recovery in a root toolbox, no? if you did, you didn't flash it, you booted it. that's different. the android laying there, IS the stock recovery. all you need to do is flash your recovery via fastboot or by using the flashify app from your phone to flash it.
to flash a recovery via fastboot..
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
to boot(not flash) a recovery..
fastboot boot recovery recoveryname.img
maybe you are right for the toolbox,i have no memories for that.which 1 is more safety?can you post some links or more info for to how...

safest is doing it the right way. and once its learned, its easier tgan a toolkit. but for booting or fladhing it doesnt mattter. if you flash it, it replaces the stock bootloader, so yoh can always go into a custom recovery at any time. booting it is only for a one time use. after you boot up, your stock recovery is back. and youd have to boot it evety time youd want to flash something, but you keep stock recovery.
