Well, just now had to wipe data/factory reset, so have to reload all APPS. At least I got it back to working state ! So, what do I do now that I have CWM universal boot loader installed? When I hit power button to turn on, it takes me into recovery. Shouldn't it just boot up into cm7 ??

You need to take the CWM card out or it will always boot to recovery.

Press both the volume keys together when you get the Yellow exclamation.

This is after turning on with vol- and power button? Ryt?

Yeah, also when going to ROM manager and goo reboot recovery, it dims screen and the capacitive buttons freak out for a second then the screen stays the same. Now the phone won't boot either, it does the same thing with the buttons freak out, I was running some gingerbread ROM, came with it rooted and stuff. Can I just flash sbf with no issues since the boot loader is locked?

Because you're in "Download mode", not Recovery mode.
Press Volume UP/Power/Home at same time to get to Recovery

There is no working recovery for it yet. The bootloader is locked and no dev is working on yet. They won't start working on it till they can get a Odin ROM so they can fix it if it soft bricks

Problem With TWRP Recovery

Sometimes. When I Reboot Into Recovery Mood. To Flash A Rom. The Phone Reboots Then The TWRP Logo Comes On With The Blue Screen. Then It Just Stays There? Doesn't Load Into Recovery. But Sometimes It Does. But It Freeze More On TWPR Logo. And I Have To Bring The Battery Out. Put Back In. And Do It Again Then Goes Into Recovery It Self. Is There Something Wrong With My TWRP Recovery?? Any Ideas

That is a known problem with 2.6.0.0
You need to d/l 2.5.0.2
You can find the link in this forum.
Try this link for using with mobile Odin lite.

This link can be flashed using your version of TWRP.

EDIT: This seems to have been fixed in 2.6.1.0

Thankz man I appreciate it
So how do I flash this?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

I don't know why there is a difference but I am using 2.6.0.0 and I experienced the freeze a couple of times. Which you only need to hold the power button until it reboots instead of pulling the battery. Since I started using my Extended Power Menu to boot into recovery that way I have not experienced a hang once. So it must be something with trying to cold boot into recovery, which I almost never do now.

Mobile Odin Lite should do the trick.

Forgive the question, but is your MOJO rooted? I believe the method you're using should work if you're rooted. (Someone please correct me if I'm missing something.)

Hi I believe so, I followed towel root, how else can I tell if it's rooted?

If you haven't already, you can get SuperSU from the Play store and I believe it should tell you if you're not rooted (you'll likely need it anyway if you are rooted). You can also get a root checker app from the play store, or if you have an app that has root functions (like es explorer), you can open it and try to enable them.

Ok cool so when I try to put it in recovery mode and I see the exclamation mark above the android what do I do then or should it automatically go in recovery mode?

I'm struggling

Sorry about forgetting this earlier, but I should have remembered if you're using quick reboot successfully, then that pretty much would mean you're rooted.

So it looks like the red triangle is the stock recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39315483&postcount=5
Sorry, but I never keep stock recovery, so I guess that's why I didn't notice.
So you're probably going to want to flash TWRP recovery so you can actually take advantage of your modded MOJO. Flashify is the easiest method to do this without a computer. You can also backup your stock recovery with Flashify so you can return you're MOJO to it's original state at some point.
Here's where you can find TWRP recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mad...overy-twrp-2-8-2-0-recovery-mad-catz-t2973640
Just download the zip file to your MOJO, backup your original recovery in Flashify, then flash TWRP recovery with Flashify. You should then be able to boot into recovery. The towelroot/Flashify method is what I used, so I expect it to work fine for you.
Even if something goes south, the MOJO is a great device to screw around and learn about root stuff as you can't really brick it. You're always just a male to male USB plug away from fastboot resurrection.

Ok cool so if I go into stock recovery will it come back un rooted?

It shouldn't. The only thing I can think of that would make your MOJO lose root is if you flash one of unjustified's roms (other than cyanogenmod) without flashing the SuperSU zip immediately after.

Hmm, I seem to remember that happening to me once, and then when I opened Flashify before clicking on the TWRP zip, it worked. Have you opened Flashify, and if so, did a SuperSU permissions request popup?

Ok so it all worked, I install cyanmod but didn't like it, now I can't get rid of it, I can't root now either, I'm in a right state

In that case, you should be able to enable root in the CyanogenMod settings under developer options as stated here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63238624&postcount=273
And then you can flash the stock MOJO rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mad-catz-mojo/general/stock-rom-mojo-please-help-t3040895
Alternatively, if you previously made a backup of your stock MOJO rom in TWRP, then you can flash that instead.
