Hello all,
I'm a new owner of a Bell atrix and I have one question.
What is the different step for install the recovery to make backup and restor of the phone?.
Need I use this tread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019143 and which method of root I need to use?
I'm on the 2.2.1 and my phone is like in factory, I plane to go to the gingerbread version.
These questions is to avoid problem when I will upgrade my phone
Thanks
I guess it depends if you want to unlock your bootloader or not.
It could be that in future i will unlock the bootloader
(question: what kind of rom coul go if I have an unlock Bell?: orange/AT&T......)

For make a backup you need to do theses steps :
1. Root you phone with one click root ( just search in google : motorola atrix one click root)
2. Intall rom manager from the Market
3. Click Install Recovery (1st option in the list)
4. Scroll down to ''Backup''
then backup and it's gonna backup all your system then if you want to restore just click menage backup then the backup u just did and restore
with this method it help if my phone is bricked?
ya is that a full backup of all partitions?

Grey Blur... how old is that. Wasn't that for froyo and not gingerbread...
Ok, 2 things, well 3 things actually...
1) Did you actually try to flash a ROM and/or is your phone stuck in a bootloop? If not, and you just want to return to stock, you can flash the 4.5.91 (Android 2.3.4) sbf file. This will fully return you to stock, no root, no cwm, no nothing but stock. Or if your just trying to wipe the theme you installed, try a factory reset.
2) If you did try to flash a ROM and are stuck somewhere... you can still flash the correct sbf file, or you can go ahead an unlock your bootloader.
3) Do not use Tenfar's recovery. Use Rom Racer's or ROM Manager... but you need to unlock your bootloader first.

You are able to flash Tenfar's without unlocking your phone, it's also required to flash Greyblur. I've done it before aswell, I installed Gingerblur without unlocking my phone. Very dangerous yea I know. So do what Swift said, unlock your phone or flash ONLY a 4.5.91 SBF onto it.
P.S. Yea Gingerblur/Greyblur is froyo!
is there any method to root the nexus 7 without unlock the bootloader?
i read several posts about rooting n7, but every posts needs to unlock the bl first.
and "Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery" .
but i really don't know what the "cwm" is ! i want to use the stock nexus7 rom with rooted. is the cwm recovery will ruin something original?
could anyone solve my anxiety? thx!
You need to unlock the bootloader in order to root.
WugFresh's toolkit has a friendly interface making this extremely simple:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
Follow the instructions within the toolkit to ensure drivers are correct, backup apps, unlock bootloader, root device.
After doing this your Nexus will still be identical to stock.

Yep you need to unlock your bootloader to root.
You don't actually need Clock Work Mod recovery in order to be rooted.
In fact, I believe that the Wug Fresh toolkit posted by retrobeans above allows you to root and not install CWM.
Having said that, all CWM does is replace the stock Recovery on your device. This allows you to make backups, flash new ROMs and mods etc. If you never go into it, you will not notice a difference - you will still be running your stock rooted ROM. So i wouldnt be afraid of installing it . Or you can always do it at a later date if you want.
Bootloader can always be relocked with "fastboot oem lock" anyway...
why are you concerned about unlocking, or do you just not understand fastboot?

you can use a great toolkit by wugfresh which applies root without cwm. You still need to be unlocked though

is there any harm of being "cwm"ed? if not , i will try the easier way of one click root.(btw, i tried the wugfresh's toolkit ,but failed to install the driver...)
CWM (clockwork mod) is just a custom recovery image, from here you can flash files to your phone, wipe data, take full system backups (or restore).
Its a handy way to do key things people require when changing or modifying roms.
If in the future you will want to do any of the above then you will require a custom recovery.
Its not (in my opinion) the best recovery for the nexus 7 though, I use the Team WIN (TWRP) recovery.
You failed to install drivers? Or maybe when you installed Wug's tool it didn't download correctly? If you go and manually install the drivers which come with the tool I don't understand how they would have failed. Not trying to sound condescending or anything so sorry if I do. But Wug's toolkit (I know it's not the only one out there) is extremely easy and efficient. I would try re-downloading and on the driver install part go to
Right Click on computer
Manage
Device Manager, Here you should see a device either not detected or says that it's incorrectly installed blah blah
Right click the device and uninstall
at the top click on "Scan for Hardware Changes" (or something along those lines)
and right click your device when it comes up and the drivers are located wherever you installed his toolkit
I hope this helped and if not then just ignore. :laugh:

Get the pdanet drivers, cwm is just a custom recovery, for wiping data and caches. Just has a few nice options like backing up full system data and boot.img . No real disadvantage and you can always flash back stock

You can lock bootloader after.
You can get OTA but you would lose root and also lose your custom recovery, and with a locked bootloader you would be unable to root again

Sorry fellows, but you are wrong There IS a method to root the Nexus 7 without unlocking the bootloader.
Then you can have root without wipping your data, for instance, as happens when you unlock your BL. And with root you can unlock the BL without wipping your data too. All thanks to efrant with his awesome tutorials! It is in the Galaxy Nexus Forum, but me and some others have reported to be working on the Nexus 7 too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894717 -- Root without unlocking
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731993 -- Unlock BL without wipping
Let me sum it up.
Can i root without unlocking bl? yes.
Can i unlock bl without full wipe , when i do it the first time? no.
So u install pdanet drivers(i know, i had driver problems on my old win xp company laptop), then unlock bl, root. Thats it. u dont need to install CWM(btw, I prefer TWRP).
OTA updates n recovery: As far as i know, u will receive OTA updates whether u have CWM or not, but when u click install for the update, if u have CWM/TWRP, it wont install. It will install properly only if u have stock recovery.
OTA updates n root: U will get n will be able to install updates whether or not u have root. But u will lose root if u install the update. Re rooting is esy if u already have an unlocked BL, but theres an app "voodoo ota rootkeeper", that makes a backup of your root status b4 update n then restores it after update. N its free!! Nice, huh?
Unlocking BL shindig: So u would have 2 reasons for not wanting to keep ur BL unlocked. First, if anything goes wrong(very very very unlikely, believe me I have done a lot of crap on this phone, its extremely hard to brick), u need to return it in BL locked state. Second: Security. If your phone gets stolen n ur BL is unlocked, some guy could easily flash CWM n flash a custom rom n access all your data. For both cases, I suggest a very useful technique.
1.Unlock BL.
2.Root
3.Relock BL.
4. Install app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker. This app will let u unlock BL from within a rooted phone without having to wipe your whole phone. If you are confused at this point, let me explain further, in case something happens to your phone n u need 2 return, u can just return it, if BL is locked, there wont b any issues. Also, if your phone is stolen, the theif wont b able to access it without completely wiping ur phone(unless he is a xda member n knows about that app!!! lol).
Got it?

I think The peeps who also agree twrp is much better than CWM is grown to the point where is the preimanant force for custom backup now. This Dev is 100% correct in my opinion also
Hi
i was stupid enough to unlock my bootloader and flash recovery, then reflash back latest meizu stock via twrp , and flashing again the twrp recovery image,
i don't why, but the first init of the rom update ****ed my recovery up and now i lost recovery (even the stock, the phone just booting to the rom)
fastboot oem unlock isn't possible because i'm on locked bootloader rom.
i tried to flash the recovery via rashr with the backup i made and i can't becuase of busybox, i guess it's because the bootloader lock
is there any script or way that i can stock recovery back?
actually if lost the rom i lost my phone....
please help!
Sorry my friend, you have a sad full hard brick without recovery. You need a new motherboard, sorry.
One thing, do you try to flash the cracked update through flash tools ?

I am not exactly an expert, but I would recommend to flash back the latest image from Google...go back to completely stock and then if you want root and install TWRP again. Good news is your bootloader is still unlocked, so I don't think you are bricked. Good luck!

Try re flashing the Vendor.img sounds like the vendor didn't get restored
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
i would but everything (files etc.) are gone from my phone...so i would have to download and flash it thru my pc right? if not ill probably just flash a rom gapps the vendor of course and super su and see if it boots up to the rom
Yup just download the Factory Image and extract the vendor image and flash it with fastboot.
Or flash another ROM /Gapps/ Vendor

Not clear. The files you had before restore are missing or you miss files from your backup? Twrp backup does not backup your /data/media.
White google logo hanging is a due to bad vendor files.
