sounds to me that you are getting corrupt downloads, have you tried to dl a diff zip, one that seems to be working for everyone else, and test it? have you upgraded roms today, or changed anything???

I've tried a few... apk downloads are fine but sips are not... I haven't been able to even flash kernels so I haven't done anything new

give us some phon info... rooted? rom? ect...

Rooted with stock Rom and using faux 8.2..... noticed when I tried to flash 8.3 so I tried other zips and nothing downloads

have you tried a full wipe and restoring an older back up... then seeing if that fixes it, or pushing them through ADB?

Restored backup.... don't use adb... I can install them if I put on SD from computer. Just don't download direct any more

well i am sorry i cant help you bro... my knowledge base is rather limited, but i have walked you through everything i know how to do... you could get a logcat and give it to the dev of the rom, and i am sure they could help you a bit more. and if you need help on how to get a logcat then go to the resource bible in the dev forum or use the search function, but i can take you no further

Well it was stock tmo so no developer.... I die flash to 8.3 kernel through SD and problem is gone for now.... but thanks for your help

np, and i am glad it is resolved, happy modding

Clockworkmod recovery

Hi all. Im from the uk and have got the ATRIX on orange. I've rooted it using gingrebreak and all is good. I was just looking through rom manager and found that clockwork now has support for it. I want to install it but just need to know if it will work on my uk ATRIX, and if there's anything else I need to do like unlocking the bootloader? I've rooted and installed custom roms on my htc desire, which now runs f1 gingerbread and works great, so im not a complete noob lol. Just need a few pointers. Any help would be greeeeat. Cheers

You'll need to have an unlocked bootloader to install this CWM build.

Ahh I see lol. Do u know if the uk orange bootloader can be unlocked yet? Thanks for replying

Yes it can! You'll have to start in the Atrix Development section, and go to the sticky that starts with [PUDDING]. That's where you'll find your unlock. There are a couple of guides floating around, so make sure you follow those completely!

I shall take a look and ill keep u posted. Thanks a lot

Did this yesterday on my Telstra Atrix, bricked my phone, had to reinstall OLYEM_U4_1.4.2 and everything else from scratch, got boot error after install of CWM

Bricked? Maybe ill look some more before I commit to it. Might just wait a little longer for update then who knows. Hope ur ATRIX is well again

He didn't hard brick, which is unrecoverable. He simply soft-bricked. He might not have unlocked his bootloader properly, or messed with something.
A hard brick can only happen if you flash an OTA update with an updated bootloader, and try to flash an older SBF file. That, in turn, would require use of NVFlash to unbrick, but NVFlash requires you to have your SBK, which seems impossible to get.
He soft bricked. That means that he just can't boot into the OS, and is easily fixed by restoring via Nandroid, or using an SBF file with RSDLite.

I have an international phone (Bell) and you need to flash the bootloader sbf. the international one is called IHOP then you can continue on to flash CWM, not sure if youve already done this but if you need help let me know.

[VIDEO] How to upgrade from stock 4.1.83 froyo to gingerbread 4.5.91

This is a video i made on how to unlock bootloader, install recovery cwm upgrade pretty much the whole process of going from 2.2.2 to 2.3.4 the quality isnt the greatest but it will do it took me reflashing my phone so i dont want any *****ing cause i didnt have to do this.

Great!
Thanks
but i'm still having the issue that AT&T Kernel from 4.5.91 freezes my touchscreen completely :-(

So as of right now, you HAVE to unlock the bootloader in order to install GB ROMs correct?

yes to my knowledge because you need the newest cwm which only works with an unlocked boot loader if anyone knows other wise please illuminate me to this as i would like to make a new guide
edit: actually i believe you can sbf the leaked ota from motorolla but not many people are doing this because if you try to revert to stock it hard bricks so this is the only way if u want to go back to 1.26 or 1.83 without a brick.

Wow, amazing work. Thanks for putting so much effort in!
I just got at AT&T Atrix that comes with 4.1.52, Froyo 2.2.1. Is the procedure going to be the same at this?
Thanks again.

it is the same procedure once you ota to 1.83 im not sure if it will work on previous versions also this is only for att
edit: your welcome im glad to see people needed and appreciate it

thanks for the hand here.
In fact, after wipe/reboot immediatly after system is up, the touchscreen and volume buttons don't respond at all, the only button responding is the power button....

That's weird did you have any mods installed before this?

are you on an att atrix if so make sure you start fromSTOCK and that you do not unzip the update if this doesnt work try one of the other roms same process should work as long as they are zips that install through cwm if still no luck flash to stock and send ur atrix in as a touchscreen malfunction its covered under waranty

Couple Questions:
I have Gingerblur installed on 4.1.83, how do I go back to stock 4.1.83?
Does this procedure also root 4.5.91 or is that done separately?
Thanks

To go back to stock there is a zip in the themes section I believe that will revert or you can SBF back to stock

MOD please link this in the how to's there doesnt need to be any more threads asking for a guide i will be updating soon and adding a video on how to sbf back and upgrade but for now the 50+ threads asking for a guide will find this sufficient.

If I install a CustomROM now, can I run an OTA upgrade when it becomes available? (I've got stock 4.1.83)
I'm just a bit scared to upgrade to CustomROM and become stucked to only other future CustomROMs.

You can't not directly from the custom Rom but you CAN sbf back to stock and it's update

something weird, no roms would work, need help!

Hi everyone, I been reading on this forum for a quiet some time now but never felt the need to create an account to post any questions. because i always find informative threads that help me solved my problems but not this time.
i been helping my friend to tried to install a custom rom on his D2, i wouldnt say im very experienced, but i have done it to couple other phones including a droid x so im kind of familiar with what to do.
so i rooted it, bootstrapped, using rom manager to install cwm, then bootstrapped to cwm recovery, from there wipe data / cache, then install zip from sd.
i tried with cyanogen mod first, but it didnt work, it would get stuck on the m logo after rom is installed, so i sbfed it and repeat the whole process and installed the liberty this time but same thing happened again, so i repeated the whole process again and i tried liquid smooth just now, and it still didnt work.
is there something im missing?

You need to make sure the phone is on gb. Also wipe data/cache/dalvik once before you flash and twice after.
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium

so it has to be 2.3 and above? the system say its 2.2 right now, but the sbf file i used its "vbz a955 2.3.20_1ff" so i assumed it was on gb. is there specific version of gb i need to upgrade to?
thanks for the suggestion

To flash cm7 or any gingerbread rom you have to first be on the ota 2.3.3
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium

ooohh thanks! whats the best way to update to 2.3.3? do you have a link? all the links i see is for 2.3.0
thanks alot hope if works

The best was to update is to sbf to stock 2.2 then accept the ota update. Then once you update you can root, bootstrap then install cm7.

[Q] How do you root a dev ed razr m?

I just got a developer edition Razr M off eBay and I wanted to know if it comes rooted already or just unlocked?
I have searched but can't find rooting instructions for a Razr M.
Would someone be willing to point me in the right direction, please?
I'm also wondering, with the new software update, on the dev ed it should still remain unlocked even if the update is accepted, no?
Any help appreciated - thanks!

Which update are you on?
Head over to Motorola's website, or better yet Google 'How to unlock RAZR m dev edition'. You will need ADB tools on a PC and some knowledge regarding rooting. Anyway, the Motorola website will provide a code to unlock your boot loader. Which you have to input via ADB. Than you can follow the rooting instructions on this forum. Be aware if you do it via Motorola's website you need to make an account with them.
I did this myself and it worked

Hey man thanks for the info - could you please help me just a litte more?
The instructions for rooting that I'm able to find here all seem to involve using the "exploit" but isn't that for non-Dev Ed/locked bootloader phones?
I already unlocked my Dev Ed using the Motorola website so how do I root from this point?
Is it the same thing?
Any help appreciated - thanks!

Okay well the link that I had to instruct me on how to root my dev phone originally has disappeared :/ My best advice would be to try the exploit method, as the method that I did was what I consider a 'manual' way to root the phone as you must flash each package one after the other. Next best thing you could do is ask someone else on the forum. Sorry friend I will still upload the files that I used if you want to have a crack at it.
Flash the recovery image followed by the superuser one via ADB/Fastboot. Worked for me, best of luck.

Oops - too late, lol...
I couldn't get CWRM to work for some reason so I ended up using TWRP instead.
Did a "Backup" prior to rooting, does that count?
Not planning on flashing any custom ROMs or anything..

So your still running stock? If so just go into your recovery and run a back up to internal or external storage. If internal than get it onto another storage location straight away. That way if you do in the future plan to flash a ROM you can go back to pure stock if you brick it.

Yeah, stock for now. I used to mess around with custom ROMs when I first got my Thunderbolt but I'm so much busier at work and trying to keep a girl in my life these days, lol... I'm not good enough at this stuff like you guys to do it quickly, takes me forever to read every post and trudge my way through the How-To's.
If I find the time, I'd love to run a stripped down, battery optimized, de-bloated ROM, something like that...
I did do a backup onto the SD card, I try to keep everything on the SD card. Bummed they make it so hard or not possible to run apps from it. Makes no sense to me but oh well..
Thanks again!

No problem mate If you need a hand just ask. Also AOKP is quite good. It is probably the second best for battery that I've tried with CM10.1 being the highest, not including stock of course. I run it with themes and the such. Its quite smooth and clean to with not so many features which is good if you just want things simplistic. Let me know if you run into issues
