I had the custom firmware Taboonay 2.2 and decided i wanted to upgrade.
I downloaded it, wiped data, cache, and dalvik, then flashed HC3.2.1 ROOTED-CWM-A500_7.014.02_com_gen2 FULL.
The device would not boot past the Acer screen
Shut off the device and then held down the volume button as i held the power button to get into recovery. My original Taboonay 2.2 file was still on The sd card. Wiped the same things as before then flashed Taboonay 2.2
The device still won't boot past the Acer screen
What else can I try?

Uhmmmm.... try following the install instructions.
1. In CWM Recovery,
2. Wipe Data/factory reset
3. Wipe Cache
4. Wipe/Format System
5. Wipe Dalvak Cache
6. Wipe/Format Flexrom
(note, depending on which version of CWM you have, the "wipe" command may say "format" which is usually located in "Mounts and Storage")
Then install your zip
RTI the next time.

1) Boot into CWM red recovery
2) Wipe Data
3) Wipe Cache
4) Wipe dalvik cache
5) Go to mounts and storage
6) format everything that doesn't start with SD, so format boot, system, data, dbdata.
7) Install your new ROM
8) Reboot
Basically 100% chance of NO bootloops or running into errors. Don't know why I put 99.9%.Good Night~

No Offense, but there's plenty(I mean tens hundreds ) of posts saying this.
And step 6 is not necessary, I have flashed over 20 Roms and havent had to format my sd.

Thanks xHoLyx, you beat me to posting the same thing. And step #6 is classic gunnermike speak. I'd recognize that anywhere. Adrynalyne just released EC01 ROM and radio, and both he and GizmoDroid have posted slightly different methods for installing the new ROM and radio. Would you like to also post those exact steps in a how to thread and make it seem like you came up with the steps?
Hello, I have recently been unable to flash ROM's succesfully.
I have Clockwork MOD 4.0.0.2 installed as it came with CF-Root, and I am on stock 2.3.5 KI3.
I have tried flashing several roms, and while it says install complete, whenever it restarts, it is on a boot loop, where it won't go past the Galaxy S II bit with the yellow triangle, I have to flash the stock rom again using odin to even use the phone, I have tried to flash other recovery versions, like 4.0.0.14 and 5.1.2.6 (I think it is) but they all come up with errors mounting or getting recovery.log or something, could you please help?
Did you try to do a full wipe?
Most issues can be resolved by this.
In the CWM menu chose the factory reset/full wipe. (Don't worry it won't touch your files on the internal SD card)
Do a cache wipe and in the advanced menu do a dalvik cache wipe.
Some recommend to do this procedure twice, but you should be settled with doing it once
Let me know if it helped?

Yeah I did all that, didn't help, the progress bar gets half way and says complete :S I have downloaded the ROMs several times aswell incase they were corrupt, still didn't help.
Take out the battery, wait a bit, put it back in. Do all the wipe and formatting procedures (perhaps twice) and format the internal sd card as well and wipe the battery stats (just to be sure)

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.
Guys, I desperately need help. I followed this guide to install CM7.1 nightly into my Defy and at the end I got the CM7 logo loop. Based on the guide, I took out the battery and put it back and now it's stuck at the small "Google" logo. I took out the battery again and went to the system recovery to wipe cache/factory reset. I got bunch of "mount" cache errors (command, log). I then went to the custom recovery and did the wipe cache again, this time beside "mount" cache error, there were some "open" cache errors. I did the wipe one more time and all of these errors gone. Booted it up again, and it still stuck at the "Google" screen so I went into the custom recovery trying to wipe dalvik cache as the guide said. I selected that option but nothing happened. No question asked to confirm the wipe and all it did was a short blink screen and the screen stayed the same.
Any helps would be highly appreciated !!!
That sounds a bit tricky to me, but first things first.
The first boot after installing CM7 can take a while (some minutes) since all the dalvik cache and other things has to be built. Taking out the battery during that is somewhat risky I think. After the first boot, the system starts pretty fast.
The best guess for you (at least that is what I would try) is:
go to recovery, clear dalvik cache and cache. If you have not installed CM7 before, i would also recommend to clear data as well (ok you lose you data but I hope that you were not doing it without a backup).
Then I would reflash cm7 and try again.
since you had the cm7 boot scree, I believe you have no kernel problem...
by the way, do you know what version your initial rom was?
I think it`s better to flash it from scratch:
1) Flash your previous rom with RSD
2) Root + cwm recovery
3) Cyan
(and if I were you - I would do wipe from stock recovery after 1st step and wipe from custom recovery after 3 step)
Yes, as Iddqd2 suggested just flash stock froyo using RSD Lite and then go all over for CM7 method of installation.
I Flashed JellyTime ROM available here. I updated the Gapps too. The whole installation went smooth. Tab started with JT logo and then went blank. I waited for like 10 minutes and nothing happened. I tried twice but same result. So I went back to ICS4.0.3 stock.
Can some tell me if there is a newer JT ROM or am i doing someting wrong? I wiped cache and dalvik before flash.
PLEASE HELP:crying:

You have the V8 unlocked bootloader installed, correct? If not, you'll need to have it installed first.
If so, and a recent CWM installed,
sequence should be;
a. Wipe data/factory reset
b. Wipe Cache
c. Wipe Dalvik
d. Format /system
e. Install JT

Great!! Thanks a lot!
Only step I had missed was format /system. I thought factory reset did just that, apparently I was wrong!
Thanks again. Loving my JB on A-501.
Just one issue, Google now voice search doesn't work.
And I noticed there is a phone app. So can I make a call??
