So I got my lucid rooted but now I can't get a recovery or a ROM to install. I've tried all I could find. All I get is the fast boot error when I try to flash a recovery or a ROM. I've got superuser and I'm not really new to the community. I've adjusted a few values in the build just trying to make it a little more buttery. Help!! I need more root powers.

Not sure about your phone, On most you need to unlock the Bootloader.

My friends Droid x is rooted and he set up a pass lock on it but he has since forgotten it. Without having a custom Rom I believe it's possible to sign in your gmail account in order to unlock the screen however there isn't an option to do so. Is there a way to bypass this or is the only other option to boot into recovery and start all over? Any help would be appreciated.

Restore a backup? Or adb into the phone and reflash the current custom ROM.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Agreed with droid user...there is a app that you can use from adb to install it and it will bypass the lockscreen once you reboot it

I'm sorry but what's adb? How would you do that? Link to a tutorial?

If you keep trying random pins, it'll eventually give you the option to sign in with your Google account if you get it wrong enough times

I think you're missing something. I got two words:
FASTBOOT UNLOCK

Wouldn't it be three words?
fastboot oem unlock
Yes the steps are simple:
First have fastboot working on your computer.
Next have your phone drivers installed if you are on Windows.
Then put your phone into bootloader (hold Vol Up while powering on).
Finally run: FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK
Bootloader will unlock and you can flash whatever you want. Sounds like you will want to flash ClockworkMod Recovery and then SuperUser.zip.

Well, here goes nuthin! thanks for the input all.
Ummm...i guess i need more hand holding more than I thought...fml. sorry gang. I promise I am good at following instructions... smile.

Thats the thread I have been referring to though it isn't clear on how to keep my stock gingerbread....i am good to go so long as I know how to keep my stock factory os...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Through step 2 your stock OS is unchanged
Part 3 installs a custom recovery which is needed if you want superuser permissions
Part 4 installs the files needed to have root in your OS
So if you want to keep everything stock and just have an unlocked bootloader feel free to stop after step 2, if you want a rooted stock follow through each of the 4 steps
Great news, the bootloader is now unlocked...halfway there! I am on the Rooting step...
In clockwork recovery, the root aborts with error "E: can't open/sdcard/su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip (bad)" then says "installation aborted".
Done and rooted. Yay!

Now you need a recovery to flash ROMS. Which recovery do you have already? A custom or stock phone?

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.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
tried tha too. same problem blacka screen comes up with a caution triangle
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
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...........
John
UPDATE:-
Took the plunge, all seemed to work great... No need for anyone to waste their time on me..Thank you
I'm helping a friend out...he's stuck at the moto logo no matter what I do it goes into bootloader and I can't get it to go to stock recovery ....I've tried sbfing using both the new gingerbread and the froyo files and it works just fine except it won't boot up just sits at the m ....any help?

Try to SBF using the Linux method, it usually has better results. If it is successful you should then be able to access the recovery.

What is required to (firmware version) root, unlock and flash a custom recovery?
I've looked here in the forums but I couldn't find anything. Unless if I'm blind as a bat. Haha.
But seriously.
Thank you anyone who helps out.

Update to the official 4.1.2, use Matt's 1.20 utility to root, unlock, and flash a recovery.
Welcome to the club
I'm already at 4.1.2 so I'll continue, anything else I need?
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
Matts utility will do all the work for you. Just make sure you have a full battery charge.
I did it. Its unlocked and currently running the latest Cm10.1.
Wish I could change the start up screen though. Then again I don't really restart my phone that often.
