(Q) I'm stuck?

Ok so awhile back I downloaded and installed a leaked 2.2 version for the epic and its been ok just tired of it, but now when trying to go to a different rom nothing works, clockwork has always givin me some issues on this phone an on m old one that got replaced for bad proximity sensors.
What am I doing wrong? I tried the rom manager method of getting clockwork's mod to work but nothing, tried re flashing the recovory image and that failed for some read only issue now that I've never seen before and is clockworks mod supposed to stick cause the one time I got it to work so I could install this rom (which sucks) after I was it never worked again? This is just really annoying for me since I never have had issues in the past with rom installed htc was easier the g1 and hero where do damn easy what is with this epic crap not doing what I want it to do?

Have you tried the one click method for root and clockwork? You need to have the samsung drivers installed and you have to get another usb cable. The one that comes with the epic is only good for charging.

Yea I've tried that and sometimes it works andsometimes it fails, last night I was failing saying "read-only file system" and would not finish the img flash.

It is very easy to install ROM's on the Epic... So i'm thinking you're doing something wrong.
Are you sure you have clockwork installed and NOT stock? Back when I first started working with the Epic (Rooting & Flashing) I had problems figuring out what clockwork really was.. Clockwork is GREEN & Stock is BLUE.
Also another thing I did was unrooted and then rooted using the latest One Click Root W/ Clockwork, after that everything seemed to work fine. IF I am correct, the ROM Manager Clockwork does not work for the Epic? Well at least it never worked for mine.

Try going to adb and type this: adb shell. Once the shell pops up enter "su" and then this command: mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
If you get an error, you aren't rooted.
Or alternatively, adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

Lol kk so this should work then ill try when I get home.
Is clockwork suppsed to stick though? So that ny time I boot into recovery it should be there, that's wat I thought should happen with changing the recovery image but it never stuck and won't load.
If that command doesn't change anything ill take a video and show what happpens when trying to chage the rom's, I can't be the only person having the problem.....

tried that command say's premissions denied?? I have super users permissions and have a custom rom wtf is going on here? this just does not make sense to me any more at all, tried to run the root file again on the phone and that failed saying its a read only file system?
also tried to run a "unroot.batch" file and same issue says that its a read only file system??

Does the su command work? If not then agan, you aren't rooted. You will know because the $ sign will change to #. Try running the one click root method again, specifically the 2.5 version that contains root and cwm. I don't understand how you can't be rooted though with a custom ROM. Somehow something isn't working, maybe the mount script is corrupt but who knows. I suggest odin back to stock DK28 and root and cwm from there with the newest one-click. Let me know if that helps, also feel free to pm me if you need specifics

yes that command works
i just took a bunch of screen shots ill upload them in a second!

Try re-downloading the 2.5.5 one click root. May have modified a file accidentally or something. Also; if you're on a desktop.. plug the cord into the back not the front panel of the pc.
The stock cables do work for data.. unless it got damaged somehow.

No the stock cable should work for data but usually doesn't. 99% of people who have been having issues rooting, their problem has been the stock cable. It is crap.

Thomas an I got it to work last night tried a lot of things and then it randomy worked with the 2.5.5 and CWM is sticking now, yea I'm going to buy another cable seems like it probably could be causing some issues.

Maybe it's just the bug in rom managers recovery that doesn't wipe correctly, what about if you do the fastboot command to wipe?

I dunno. It might work. But as I said before, I have found that you need to use Tenfar's ClockWork Mod Recovery to flash this. I tried it with the one that comes with ROM Manager, and it didn't work. If you are going to try to wipe with fastboot, also try putting tenfar's CWM on, and then re-flash.

Yeah ill confirm tomorrow after using tenfars

I've been waiting for this new recovery to come out ever since I got my Kindle Fire(we're a bit limited with only 1 physical button). This was just released a few minutes ago, but it's been in development for a year or so.
I have no affiliation with the team, but I thought others would be interested in trying this out. Luckily, the Atrix was included in the initial wave of supported devices. More pics below.
Video of it in action on a tablet. It really shows the potential for an XML-based recovery. Could mean some very nice ROM installs among other things.
TWRP 2.0 for Motorola Atrix 4G
TWRP 2.0 General Info
Themers, keep your eye on this page. Atrix is not listed, yet.
Install instructions with fastboot:
1. Place twrp-olympus-2.0.0RC0.img in fastboot folder.
2. Open command prompt and cd to directory from step 1
3. Put phone in fastboot mode and connect to computer.
4. fastboot devices
5. fastboot erase recovery
6. fastboot flash recovery twrp-olympus-2.0.0RC0.img
7. fastboot reboot
Note to CM7 users: It doesn't look like the internal storage naming (/emmc) used by CM7 is supported yet, so you will be limited to just using /sdcard.
*Edit*
Looks like there's an official thread over in development now.

Sorry, I wasn't sure if I should post it there since I wasn't the one to develop it. Mods, please feel free to move. Thanks.

Just flashed to my CM7 atrix, and tried flashing a .zip (radio update) and seemed to work just fine! Touchscreen recovery, the way it should be!

Just flashed it to mine, and I have to say its quite impressive. Methinks my volume buttons are going to see a lot less wear on them now.
Only issue is that it doesnt look like you can backup/restore your PDS partition, but thats not something you need to mess with often so you could probably just flash another recovery temporarily if needed.

I'm jealous! I can't flash it yet cuz I'm not at home.
The development has been pretty quick on this. I'm sure if it's not in there currently, it will be at some point.

I flashed it but couldn't install anything it gave me errors saying it couldn't read the SD cards and I couldn't see any of my files.

What ROM are you on currently? I'm on CM7 so I'm wondering if sdcard naming might be an issue for non-blur roms. I just wanted to prepare myself for possible issues once I get it flashed.

I'm on cm7 as well. I'm thinking the problem lies in the previous recovery image I had, I was using cwm prior to flashing this. Wonder if I wiped recovery in fastboot prior to flashing the new recovery if that'd fix it.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk

I am using CM7 Weekly 3, and i switched from RomRacers recovery. I used the fastboot erase recovery prior to flashing this, and it doesnt seem to have any problems in the limited testing I have done with it. In the log at the bottom of the screen it says error mounting sd-ext but it is able to flash .zip files from it, so...

Will try again tomorrow. I gotta hit the sack. Amazing job tho by the devs on this. Truly revolutionary work. Night all.

Ok, this is the first CWM zip I've ever tried putting together so please let me know if you have any problems. I took an existing .zip and edited the updater script. I just tried it coming from romracer's CWM, and it worked for me.
If it works for others I will add it to the OP. Happy flashing!
*Edit*
Btw, when using TWRP I tried to reboot into bootloader but it seemed to put me in fastboot mode. Just wanted to put that out there in case others get stuck on "Unlocked" screen.

I can't get this to work so frustrating. I flash with fastboot, it boots into recovery. Its a great touch screen interface. But there are no files populating. I can click the bottom middle button and see a bunch or errors about being able to mount my SD card and such. What step am I missing here.

So when you tap on "Install" it doesn't take you to the root of your external sdcard? For me, that is the only directory I have access to at the moment since I'm on CM7. All of the actions are defaulting to /sdcard.
What boxes are checked for you when you go into "Mount"? I was unable to check sdcard-ext from there, but everything else was selectable.

Only boxes checked for mount are cache. I can't mount sd card or anything else. When I click install it takes me to the main / root folder. I can go to whatever folder I want but nothing shows up.

Thanks for the advice.
I did try to boot into recovery from the above screen but it stays in the white HTC screen forever and does nothing.
Is there some files that I will need to put into my SD card to do this recovery step?

I would get a stock rom or RUU and stick it onto your SDcard. Whatever you try to flash must be call PC10IMG.zip.
Here's all the stock roms for this phone. Not sure if you can rename .exe files to .zip.

it looks like the recovery flash didn't work is all, before going about with the ruu try fastboot, if it let's you...
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
works the same as you did with the adb commands.
get the recovery image in the same folder as fastboot.exe (probably sdk platform-tools) open a cmd there, have phone in fastboot mode and type
fastboot devices
in the cmd window, if you see yours then all is good and flash the recovery (oh and make sure the image is named recovery.img)

Hi it took me w days to find out that you can select the options like
Recovery only with the. Qwery keyboard. Try shift for move the cursor and enter
For select item.
I hope this will help.

I think all of my problem was caused by a faulty micro-SD card. Turns out the micro SD-card I have been using was corrupted.
After I replaced it with a new card, everything is running ok and I am able to do a recovery.
Guess I will have to try everything from the start again.
Thanks for all the advice and helps guys!!!

So the recovery went smoothly after doing so with a new SD card and my G2 is now installed with Android version 2.3.4
-Baseband version: 12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3
-Kernel version: 2.6.35.10-g96de068

Thanks for the suggestion.
One more question though.
From this page here: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
I see there are some stock Desire-Z roms from Hong Kong.
Let say if I have the Desire-Z hboot on my G2 and I flash my G2 with one of those HK Desire-Z roms, will I still be able to use T-Mobile 3G radio band on my G2? Or will my flashed G2 will then be only able to use those radio bands for the Asia market only?

well you should be ok, but you will have to pull out the radio and recovery and hboot out of those pc10.imgs
I would suggest to stay away from any stock roms for now, go to the development thread here in the g2 forum and look for the 3rd or 4th sticky, should be a compalation of most of the newer roms for the vision, here you will find them catogorized for ease if you want to try a bunch of sense roms they're all right there
happy flashing!

most sense roms are unbarably slow to me so my only suggestion is to try an earlier "lite" sense rom. but ever user has his/her own taste so flash away...

Oh, I was looking for stock Desire-Z rom because custom roms don't have that HTC-Location app that the stock rom has.
I have been using (and paid) that app for offline driving navigation and like it a lot.
Not sure if any 3rd party custom roms will still have that app.

How is it?

I've tried to install this ROM many times and failed it seems. I've backed everything up (just in case it didn't work), ran a factory reset, wiped battery stats dalvik cache and formatted /system, then proceeded to install this. I used the CWM you stated in the post and tried a few other versions. Phone is just stuck on the boot screen, and keeps resetting. =/

What model is it?
Sent from my U8800-51 using xda premium

The AT&T Impulse 4G (u8800-51). I did however, get the CM7 mod to work after installing on top of this rom. Only issue is I cannot seem to add my google account to it, and the cyanogenmod settings in the settings menu does not work (force close).

I never tested cm. Go back to 2.2 and flash this one

I'll try it again, but how long should I wait during the boot screen resetting? I waited almost an hour the last few times I tried to install.

Try the original workaround. This is an older version than this ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698308

When I try to restore my IMEI, 5irom says there's no backup. Imeibackup folder is there and there are two files, 10 and 11.
