are you checking the MD5SUMs?

i am a newbie but i tried flashing a couple diff ROMs after using GFREE to root my MT4G..
you wiped out your DATA, Cache Partitiion and Dalvik Cashe after reboot into recovery.. hmm.. try wipe out the data again.. read somewhere it was an option to wipe it out again to ensure its clear.. that might help
maybe the ROM your installing is bad.. try a different one that you know works?
thought the engineering bootloader installed prevents situations like this..

Whats the md5sums and how do i check it?

Kernel troubles

I just installed a new kernel, and it caused a boot loop. How can I go back to my old stock kernel without using the RUU, because if use that, i'll lose my root :/
Did you clear your cache and dalvik cache before installing ?
No, was i supposed to? :/ sorry if i missed directions, i was pretty careless about this.

Yes. Always or you will get FC's and have to Factory Wipe and lose your data. If you have a nand backup, restore it prior to the kernal. ALWAYS backup before installing a kernal. Also they say use Amon RA Recovery. I guess ClockworkMod does not wipe the Dalvik Cache and Cache properly.
Make sure you read stuff over and over when it involves rooting, flashing a radio and kernel. I used the ClockworkMod to wipe the cache and dalvik cache and installed the Kernel and it disabled my usb and sdcard. That is not fun trying to get back working. Make sure you do that.

Why cant I boot into Recovery?

I can reboot into Bootloader, but when I try to boot into Recovery it kicks me back into bootloader. Im using Rom Manager and Clockworks. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help.
Use amon-ra its 10 times better than clockwordmod just download this http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip
drag it to sd card and go to into bootloader thern fastboot and it should say update
Step one, get rid of Rom Manager.
Step Two, flash Amon Ra.
Fixed....
That did it. Thanks guys. Follow up question..do I do a full wipe or Delvick- Cache wipe when flashing Roms? Im used to letting ROM Manager do everything for me that im not 100% sure.
Do a full wipe User Data/Factory reset, then wipe each sub-category, EXCEPT SD Card.
Heck, I re-wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache twice.

Stuck on "DUAL CORE" after flashing DarkSide PreFinal

Hey guys,
I've tried to flash DarkSide preFinal on my Atrix, now the phone is stuck on "Unlocked, Dual Core"-Screen.
Here's what I did:
Downloaded latest DarkSide and saved it to internal SD
Factory Reset via Recovery Console
Wipe Data
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Flashed the zip file
the process seemed to go through just fine, now when I'm trying to boot the phone it is stuck at the "Dual Core"-screen
Any ideas on how to solve this? I tried to factory-reset and wipe several times, still stuck
Any help is appreciated!
1. Do you have an unlocked bootloader?
2. Are you using a CWM-based recovery?
If you have answered yes to both 1 and 2 then:
3. Have you tried flashing the zip from the external SD?
4. Did you try to flash anything else after flashing the ROM while still in the same recovery session?
(If you answered "Yes" to #4 then re-flash the rom by itself and boot at least once before flashing anything else)
EDIT: Ignore question #1, I just realized you mentioned "Unlocked" on the boot logo.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I reflashed with Wet Dream from the external SD (newer is always better, right? ).
Everything is working now
Seems like being a great ROM.

how long did you let it sit at the loading screen?
Usually when I have boot loops, I let it sit on the loading screen for awhile(2-4 minutes). If it still doesnt boot, then I do a battery pull, and then usually after that it boots.
And if it doesn't boot just reboot into recovery mode, wipe cache, data and dalvik and reinstall the ROM again.
Sent From Rob's RP-Hybrid Atrix.
When installing any new rom, it can take a while to build up the dalvik cache again. I've had it take up to 10 min before. Best to just walk away and come back and check on it.

[Q] Splish Splash my phone is taking a bath

Hey, first time posting. Flashed Shooter RLS 4.4 (first ROM) and everything was GREAT. I decided to change the unlock Screen from Android to Honeycomb (because it didn't show who was calling if the phone wasn't unlocked) and it said that I needed to reboot. So I did... And then it's been stuck on the white HTC Evo 4G screen ever since. I took out the battery and tried restarting, nothing. I took out the battery, booted into recovery, attempted to reboot via Amon Ra,...back to the white screen. Anything I can do other than re-flash the ROM? I don't have a nandroid backup (yeah, messed up).
Thanks in advance for the help.
Did you try wiping the Cache and the Dalvik while you were in recovery?

Just did and so far it's back up and running. A lil sluggish right now but I'm sure it'll work itself out.
Appreciate the help.
What exactly does wiping Cache and Dalvik do, if you don't mind explaining.
Thanks either way.
You need to wipe everything before flashing a new rom and cache and dalvik before flashing a theme or mod to a rom, cache and dalvike are temp files that need to be erased and rebuilt, you have to wipe everything else when flashing a new rom to get rid of all the data just like formatting a hard drive before installing a new OS

Not able to flash other ROMs

Hi all !
Since yesterday I'm not able to flash any ROM on my I9505. This is what happened.
Yesterday I was flashing a ROM (PACman) and on that ROM I was getting a lot of FC
so I decided to put my previous ROM back on my phone (FoxHound). After the Aroma install,
my phone reboots and keeps stuck at the splash ''Samsung'' logo screen.
This is driving me crazy. I tried to flash different ROMs with no success..
I couldn't boot my phone up, couldn't access recovery, only download mode.
After I flashed a stock firmware with Odin, I can boot up and use my phone properly.
I only can't flash any other ROMs anymore, cause it will cause my phone to keep stuck
at the ''Samsung'' logo..
Someone got a solution? Or is someone having the same problem?

Hi 123hiten,
Thank you for your reply.
- I flashed FoxHound ROM, wiped cache and dalvik cache. No success..
- I did a factory reset, wiped dflashed FoxHound ROM again, wiped cache and dalvik cache. No success.
- I flashed PhilZ recovery, did a wipe data/factory reset, flashed FoxHound ROM again, wiped cache and dalvic cache.. and again no succes..
I didn't understand what u meant in your last sentence with ''plm''?
I tried to flash the PACman ROM again, and it worked, but still I'm getting Force Close when someone calls me or if I'm trying to call someone.
I really dont know what to do now..

I don't know where to see that, but I'm sure it's XXUBMF8.
That's the stock firmware I flashed.
