Hey I have a DX...it is rooted. But I'm giving it to my daughter and I want to wipe it before I do. If I just do the system factory reset will it lose the root? Any help on this will help. I have already manually taken all of my apps and pics off of the phone just need to set it up to be hers. Thank in advance.
If you still have ClockwordMod Recovery installed, just wipe data.

Okay, now that I have that done...Did the wipe through Recovery Screen. The phone won't reboot...it's stuck on M screen upon reboot. What did I do wrong?
PS ~ Looked around on here and it said to do another wipe because of the sticking on Motorola Logo screen...I did that...it still sticks at Logo Screen. Did I brick this phone?? Please tell me I didn't and there is a way to fix this. Battery is fully charged, can take it out and get to recovery screen...it is just not going passed the Logo screen.
you can never loose root from a factory wipe .
From what I know Rom manager and bootstrap dont play nice.
Sounds like it's sbf time.
Listen just sbf, root, install boostrap and be done with it .
Rom manager can be a pita and unless you're going to be installing roms, not worth it imo.

Easiest way is to go into the market and download "ROM Manager" by ClockworkMod. In that program pick the first option to flash clockwork mod. Put the ROM on your internal SD card then boot into recovery. Perform your wipes and then install the .zip from sd card.

You may not be rooted. Do you have superuser in your app list? Does ROM manager ask for root privileges? Did you grant them?

is there any way that i can get my motoblur account back on alien 4? cuz evey time i tried to set it up this error comes up "there were erros getting data from the blur service." how can i solve this ?
Advice BEFORE i unlock appreciated !
I followed this guide to root my T-Mobile Atrix http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root
I then installed both TitaniumB & CWM to test it phone was rooted ok & all currently seems good..
I NOW want to follow this guide (((http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...97&postcount=1))) with
the end goal being to install my custom roms (eg Alien or CM7)
As a NOOB i do have a couple of querys BEFORE I enter the path to enlightenment. I really appreciate some
advice..
1. Is there a guide (OR ADVICE FROM ANY PRO OUT THERE) that can tell me how to backup my current stock T-
Mobile installation ?
2. I am assuming I can jump straight to "Unlock your Bootloader" correct or not ?
3. If I CAN jump straight to "Unlock your Bootloader" should I miss anything out based on the fact I did not use Gingerbreak to root my atrix ?
4.Do I need to do a network unlock BEFORE starting any of the above ?
5.Why on step 10 does it say "10. Load up the SBF file – IHOP_Bell.sbf"
but the actual file inside the RAR is called "intl-fix-try1.sbf" ??? Worry or not ??
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO DO prior to following this guide ?
Thanks friends...........

UPDATE:-
Took the plunge, all seemed to work great... No need for anyone to waste their time on me..Thank you

Don't worry bricking your phone is unlikely unless you do something silly and don't follow the guides correctly.

Welcome to the section. Check out the guides for rooting and installing custom roms on your phone. There isn't really a big chance of getting your phone bricked. Once you root it, you'll feel alot safer because the worst thing that can happen is a bootloop. (Which can be repaired!)

Try it with and without the phone plugged in. I think you'll probably have to have it plugged in.

okay i did all that now its stuck on the cyanogen loading screen what can i do
You've done the hard part don't worry its not broken. It should take around 5-10 minutes for first boot anyway so if its only been a minute or two and the rhythm of the boot logo is still turning smoothly and not pausing or restarting just leave it a little longer but if the logo freezes and restarts over and over this is called a bootloop. Easily fixed by rebooting into recovery again then select the wipe menu and wipe dalvik cache, cache and data then install your cm7 zip again. Everything should work then.

yes i can still get to clockwork recovery by rebooting into hboot and going through recovery, ive also got the super user app in my apps
Just check in hboot that you are s-off and as you can still get recovery you're good to go, remember to wipe dalvik cache, cache and data when changing roms, if its an update you might get away with not wiping data sometimes. You'll get the hang of it soon enough. Before you flash cm7 again just run the backup in cwm then if it goes wrong again you can just restore.

Ok ever since I got my new 32gb SD card I've been having problems getting some fictions on my phone to work. I was able to swirl through my phone not changing my splashscreen. But now I'm trying to get into recovery to load ciui rom and it wont go into recovery. I've tried to go into it from rom manager as well and no luck. All it does is take me to bootloader and ask if I want to update I say yes or no and then try to go into recovery and it just goes back to bootloader screen. Is there a setting I may have accidentally changed or any ideas on where to start. Thanks for the help

But to others who do see this thread and have a recovery installed and still cant go into recovery try nandroiding your device then do a factory reset and wipe your caches and it should get it working again.
How can they do a nandroid is they can't get to recovery??

The best way to get to recovery when this happens is to flash recovery from Rom Manager. =) problem solved.
ROM Manager actually sucks, tbh, for flashing anything
Ya. ROM manager had some nice tools and functions, but for doing stuff in recovery I wouldn't recommend...

You are absolutely correct.I had some problems with nandroids after using that.
So today I decided to fire up my old continuum and it wouldn't boot. Naturally I went into cwm and tried to restore my old backup. Looks like it didn't want to after it said it was complete I rebooted system and the phone sits on the Samsung splash screen and vibrates.
I pulled the battery and then went back into cwm and wiped data, cache, and dalvik cache. Tried to boot again and it did the same thing.
So I just want to get the phone back up and running. I don't plan on activating it. I just need it to boot to run some apps daily.
I was thinking of ways to do this and I think if I flash the stock 2.2 rom in recovery it might work. Or should I Odin back?
I don't really remember how to use Odin since it's been so long. Nor do I have any of the files on my pc.
Any suggestions on what I should do to get it back up?
Thanks.

Honestly I would just go back in and use Odin. I have deleted most of my old files. but they should all still be on the forum. Some of the links may be broken. I can always check for you and repost files if links are broken and I have still have them. (I can't remember if I wiped that hard drive or not, the laptop was misbehaving and I think I did a clean install). I will try and check tonight. You might want to try reinstalling the base file in CWM depending on which version you are running, I have had some backups go corrupt if I changed the wrong thing...

WOW...Surprised to see some activity on this forum!! It's been a long time! I still mess with the old Continuum once in a while just to try stuff out. I have the EG04 files still if you need them. Still have some of TB101's mods too.
Nah I'm just running 2.1 I found some files and got it back. I'm not using it as a phone just a money making machine. Thanks though. I moved on to the droid dna like 8 months ago.

I've been using ROM's for 2 months or so. Ive unrooted/re-rooted my phone twice because of recovery being extremely slow. I've started using the KitKat AOKP rom and thats the only rom that seems to crash my phone. Ill be using my phone when *poof*, it crashes my phone. This will happen every 15min when im using my phone. I was told it might me my recovery, but the only way i can root is through Odin or the goo.im app. I cant flash my recovery using commands because my PC just wont do it, it can recognize fastboot commands but it wont do nothing. I really love AOKP roms. Help please! :fingers-crossed:

Used AOKP on this and it crashes before it could even finish setting up, like showing me the home screen.
What exactly do you mean crash? Does it reboot? Freeze and require a battery pull? etc...
And what do you mean by recovery being slow?

Sounds like a kernel or OC/UV issue. Try playing around with different ones and see what happens.

I was having the same problem on AOKP. I even flashed the 4.3 ROM thinking I would correct the problem there and then move up to 4.4. No luck. I can't remember if I was using Philz at the time though. The main reason for this post is that when I would have the random reboot, the screen would kind of start dimming out. I could see three bars of graphics that would blink out and then the phone would reboot. Sorry for the poor description but wanted to add it in case it meant something beneficial to someone else.
