So. im trying to uninstall voodoo v.02
and i was wondering if i did a backup on CWM before installing voodoo kernal.
Can i just flash it back? and will that completey get rid of voodoo?
And if that doesnt work, how else can i get rid of voodoo.
I NEEED A METHOD THAT WILL COMPLETELY DELETE VOODOO.
BTW. I DONT KNOW WHAT ADB IS. OR ADB PUSHING.

As long as you can get to CW through recovery. Follow steps for automatic uninstaller in this THREAD. If you didn't do a nandroid before voodoo. You will be redoing everything.

Use the auto-uninstaller in the thread.
There's this awesome button in the top right hand corner of your web browser that says "Search This Forum". Some of us like to use it from time to time, maybe next time you could look into it. Just a thought.

Cant you tell by the ALL CAPITALIZED LETTERS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE REQUEST that it is urgent and he doesn't have time for searching?
ANSWER HIM NOW

Think of it this way. We may have just saved him from an AT&T boot screen.
good day.

i dont understand this part
3. Wipe data from stock recovery. Apply CWM. Wipe data from clockwork.
4. Reboot phone.

Completing step 2 will get you back to stock recovery (blue text)
3. Wipe data from stock recovery. Then apply to get back to CMR (green text).
And continue with below.
Apply CWM. Wipe data from clockwork.
4. Reboot phone.
good day.

wipe data from stock recovery: This wipes the data partition on your internal memory. This, basically, is where your apps and settings are stored. As stated above, by completing step 2, you will end up at a blue screen (stock recovery) which has the option of "wipe data/factory reset" use the arrow keys to bring the highlight bar down to this option and hit the "home" softkey.
Apply CWM: CWM = ClockWorkMod. This is the recovery that you get into by booting to Stock recovery and applying /sdcard/update.zip. By "Apply CWM" he wants you to run update.zip to get into CWM recovery.
wipe data from clockwork: Once into CWM recovery, use the volume rocker to mov ethe highlight bar down to wipe data/factory reset. Hit the back softkey to execute.
...I'm sure you can actually figure out the "reboot phone" part.

[Q] can't get my nandroid backup to work

Hey everyone,
So i have read through many of the post about using cmw and making a nandroid backup then recovering it.
I followed the directions to put the green cwm on my phone after getting into the green cmw i made a backup and started playing around on my phone. I then went into ROM manager and wanted to get back into green cmw from there I then got a error message about my signature. So again I flashed cwm via odin and got back into it that way. I don't understand why i can't get into it through rom manager and have to flash it everytime.
My next problem is that i wiped the data on my phone and went to use my nandroid recovery that I made it got through most of it but then would freeze while revcovering the data and would sit on something like b5ece2. After waiting for 30min I just pulled the battery, but my phone is still back to stock.
This is not the end of the world for me as I have Titanium backup and got all my apps back, but for some reason can't get my contacts back using google.
Any help is very much appriciated and I am sorry about how long this question became this is my first droid and my first root.

Looks to me like your lynchpin issue is you cannot get RM to launch ClockWork mod recovery.
Solving that is your best avenue for fixing other issues.
I couldn't help but notice that you never mentioned regular (blue) recovery. Did you somehow find a guide to put in the so-called permanent CWR? I would like to understand how you are getting into recovery, because doing it through Odin doesn't parse for me.
No promises, especially without fully understanding your situation, but here is what to do if I am assuming correctly.
Best guess solution:
1. Restore recovery in odin. Get the "Odin restore file for recovery" from this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-782204.html
(a full stock restore odin should do this too, but you would have to root etc.)
2. Download CWMrecovery.tar patch ( http://goo.gl/HELdr ) from fallingup's guide, which is step two of:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897889
3. Flash #1 then #2 as PDA in Odin. Boot. Open Rom Manager.
4. Click "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". Click "Reboot into Recovery"
Swyped w/ XDA App. When in
doubt, mumble.

Thank you for getting back to me so quick. I will do that as soon as I get home from work and let you know if that fixes all the problems.

[Q] HELP!

I tried to install a new ROM on my rooted Droid 2 yesterday (can't remember which one it was now). Long story short, I believe my phone is bricked. Trying to figure out if there is anything I can to to undo it.
Yes, I did a Koush bootstrap recovery prior to attempting to install the new ROM. When I press the "x" key while powering on the phone, I get the android alien logo with the triangle next to it. I then hit the search key, and I get these four options:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
And at the bottom of the screen, in yellow letters, it says:
E: Can't open/cache/recovery/command
My question is, how do I access the backed up nandroid and reinstall it? Shouldn't it be showing up on the aforementioned menu of options?

After you bootstrap recovery it should have said "sucess'' and then you hit the reboot recovey option. That take you into clockwork recovery.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App

After you install the bootstrap apk, you should hit bootstrap recovery, give it su access, and it should say success. To get into the recovery, go into the bootstrap apk and hit reboot recovery and you should be good to go.

[Q] Atrix 4G (AT&T) boot loop

Hello, I registered and created this thread because I couldn't find anything about my problem.
I looked for hours on this forums and googled a lot but still I can't resolve this.
Well here is the thing... I bought a used atrix 4g (AT&T), it came with 2.3.6 (4.5.141) unrooted
and bootloader locked. After a lot of reading I unlocked the bootloader and did a backup
so I wouldn't have any problem after that if I wanted to return to stock. Then, today I tried to
install CM7 so I did another backup just in case using CWM and installed it like it was
told from here:
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Motorola_Atrix_4G:_Full_Update_Guide
*Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
*Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
*Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
*Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
*Select Install zip from sdcard.
*Select Choose zip from sdcard.
*Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
*Once the installation has finished, select +++++Go Back+++++ to get back to the main menu, and select the Reboot system now option. The Motorola Atrix 4G should now boot into CyanogenMod.
After the installation finished it rebooted and stayed at the Motorola logo so the first thing I thought was... this might take a while so I'll just wait for it.
After around 15 minutes it was still there so I flashed my backup back because I read that would make my atrix go back to stock like it was before.
After it finished flashing all the stuff back it stayed on the logo screen again
I don't understand why my backup isn't working and also why didn't CM7 worked even if I did everything like it was explained?
I still can't make it boot but I can get into cwm recovery.
What should I do? Also sorry if this was already asked and resolved, it is just that I couldn't find anything like this.

Nevermind, romracer CWM solved this.
Please lock this thread and sorry for bothering you guys. You are the best

CWM crashes OS when I try and make a backup.

I managed to root the Note 3 with CF- Root. Currently on 4.4.2 EE. That was easy. I then installed CWM and it advised I needed to update the app which I do. If I then ask it to make a back up it reboots in to recovery but does not appear to do anything? If I then reboot the device the App's all crash one at a time. The only way to resolve is to wipe/Factory reset.
I am not sure what I have done wrong here? This is not a boot loop....It just bombs the current rom.

Nothing? No advice? As this is not a boot loop searching has not really helped.

Who do you ask to make a backup ? Which app have you installed ? Cwm Rom manager ? Did you even install cwm recovery within the app ? If you updated the app, with that you didn't install the recovery.
You must power off your phone and reboot to recovery with the 3 button combo. Then, when in recovery, make a backup (if you have a custom recovery installed ?). Don't use any "boot to recovery and make a backup" apps or such, it can screw things up.
But my advice, install the latest twrp recovery. Definitely better.

Thankyou for taking the time to answer.
Yes I installed clockwork Mod. It said it was installing Cwm and offered the option to reboot and make a current backup. Which it then seems to fail. I see no manual option to make a back either when in the boot menu.
I'll try twerp and see what happens. I used to use Cwm a long time ago on a first gen galaxy and it was great. Something is just amiss this time.

Yeah, it didn't install cwm recovery, otherwise you would have the option to backup. Stock recovery doesn't have that option.
Last time i checked, this cwm manager wasn't the best option to manage your backups and restores. The 3 button combo to boot into recovery and then make a backup or restore is the way to go.
I too had problems with cwm in the past, but then i went for twrp and all is good. Plus, imo, it has a nicer touch interface.
