Recovery problems. ALL SORTED

ITS DONE AND DUSTED , I USED THE LINUX LIVE CD AND IT HAS WORKED.
Im tring to root my wildfire with unrevoked3 but it just says "pushing recovery image" and has been like that for 10mins, how long should it take?
Also before trying this I tried to install clockwork recovery with Rom manger only for it to reboot into recovery and quickly install maybe 25% then show a phone with a big red question mark then it reboots.
Also if I try to boot into recovery manualy I get a phone with a red triangle and a ! in it.
How can I fix the recovery?
in rom manager it says current recovery: clockwork mod 2.5.0.1
latest recovery: clockwork mod 2.5.0.1
Really need help , I want to jailbreak my ps3 , will donate if a DEV helps me.

Once you have sdk installed, if you're having trouble connecting your phone to your computer, get "adb wireless" from the market and you can connect that way leaving no need for the usb cable. All you need is your phones wi-fi turned on and a know how of adb.

[Q] Stuck at AT&T Logo

Hey all,
My Atrix is rooted and has been running fine until as of late. While trying to reboot the device, it gets pass the Moto logo but hangs on the very lovely AT&T "Rethink Possible" logo. I don't think my situation is considered a 'soft brick' but I still tried norcal einstein's soft brick recovery in attempt to remedy my cause. Unfortunately, SuperOneClick can't even access the ADB shell for the soft brick recovery to work.
Does this sound like a SuperOneClick issue or an ADB Shell issue?
Anyone have any clues? Thanks in advance.
Anyone? After further troubleshooting, I have discovered that while plugged via usb to PC, I cannot access internal or external SD. Yikes.
have you try taking out the battery on the back and reset it that way?

Yes. After about 15 attempts, I finally got pass the ATT logo screen. However, once I reboot, it's deja vu.

Did you by chance freeze your launcher screen? Is this one of the deodexed rom's (like we have many)? Did you install a piece of software prior to this happening?

Only Stock rom. I did install ADW Launcher but that should be okay right? I'm about to just do a factory reset.
I am also more concern about getting SuperOneClick working. It just freezes on 'waiting for device'. I cannot access ADB to make any changes. I have the right drivers because the Motorola Portal pops when I plug the device via USB.
Thanks guys!

Definatly restore and see if that works

Okay, I just did a restore. It boots up fine. However, I stil cannot get SuperOneClick to recognize my device. I'm getting the infamous "waiting for device". I have Debuggin enabled and dismounted internal and external SDcard. Even when I don't have the device plugged in, SuperOneClick still freezes. I've tried 1.6.3 and 1.7.0 versions.
I'm running Win7 32Bit Enterprise and even tried on my XP Pro machine and still the same result. Yikes.
Thanks guys.

Yes I have sir. I even tried on a difference PC that never had the drivers installed.
Try another usb cable. Might be a bad cable, or could even be a port.

Thanks! I just tried that. I have 3 different cables and different usb ports. Could the problem be pointed back at SuperOneClick?? Even without the cable, it just 'waiting for device'. Not even an error message feedback.
I don't think so. It possible, but at this point I would just warranty it and try a new one.

Unroot if you used superoneclick. Atrix already has busybox and superoneclick installs it again. DG recommends adopt to root your Atrix

you have to charge battery. so first, try to charge it with a wall plug, not USB. Then, if you cannot, try charging your battery somewhere, a friend or a GSM service. Then with phone switched off, follow the instruction and flash ROM again by SEUS.
And then, use x8toolbox from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100
but please read first page carefully and follow instructions. So that it does not happen again.
Battery is fully charged now, What should I do next?
I cant flash rom by SEUS because when I connect device to pc cant recognized..
Use flashtool

Besides Sony Ericsson PC Companion, you have installed in computer Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) right?
if not, go to official page and download / install it .
and follow the steps. from what you are saying, I see that either you do not have SEUS or you do not have the corect drivers installed .
You can search on this forum as well, you may find numerous links.

[Q] Impossible to root 2.2 - Please help

I successfully rooted eclair from brand new using z4root. I just flashed 2.2 using odin. I'm now on;
Baseband: I5800XXJP4
Build Number: FROYO.XWJPK
I have tried using z4root again, it goes through some commands then gets near the end, vibrates a couple of times and then nothing happens and eventually the screen goes black and it's almost like the app dies cus I get taken back to file manager, then if I click z4root again it starts installing from scratch.
I have also tried using Universal Androot, and again this goes through everything then fails.
Superone click won't even start for me, I just get the error message "The application was unable to start correctly" error code 0xc000007b
What do I have to do to root my phone???

To get Superoneclick to work you need to run it as administrator.
Also, I was unable to get some of the breaks for Superoneclick to work. I ended up using psneuter to break it.
Edit: Don't forget to set your phone to USB debugging.
