I installed the Dexter 1.1 eLocity 7 mod and after it told me to reboot for it to fini my screen just flashes with the eLocity logo. I've tried the reboot hole and tried to turn it off nothing works. Did I brick it or is there a fix?
That happened to me, i think i held.down the home key during reboot? Someone smarter will help ya shortly i am sure
I hope so I've only had it for a few hours. This is my first Android device so I'm kinda lost!
I'm going to attempt to download and install the factory update and see if works until someone can tell me what went wrong with the dexter mod 1.1
Ok finally found a post about doing another another factory reset after the Dexter install. Seemed to do the trick.
Mod Install
Hi Bama_Android
I'm new to the forums here and I'm also a brand spanking new owner of a Elocity A7. I was reading your post. Can you go into detail as to what steps you took to correctly install the Dexter 1.1 mod? I have not even opened my Elocity box yet and want to update it as soon as I open it
Thanks
NVM I did what I should have done in the first place. SEARCH the forums before posting a question! I'm sorry all I was just too excited about getting my new toy.
Thanks again
I Will report back with results when I unbox my new baby
OK well I finally unboxed my Elocity a7 and applied Dexter 1.1. I like what I see so far. One thing I notice is how sensitive the screen is to touch. Is there a setting to tweak that?
Its ok that was my problem too. Now I cant get the calendar app to open!!!!
Reset the unit. Using a paper clip or similar on the back of the unit. Mine did the same thing.
The preferred to fix this is from the recovery screen. To get to the recovery screen:
Power down the unit. Completely off, not standby!
Hold the power button for a second (to start power up) and release
Press and hold the button until you see "Booting Recovery Kernal Image"
You'll see an android setup screen.
Press the "Home" key
Using the Search (up) and Back (down) keys select "wipe data/factory reset"
Use the "Settings" key to select
Go down to "Yes -- delete all user data"
Use the "Settings" key to select
Reboot
Always clear Data/Cach when updating...
[GUIDE] A detailed step-by-step "Dummies Guide" to installing CM7 on your ATRIX MB860
After reading several threads of where to go and how to do it, and being able to successfully install CM7 after going through all those threads, I took it upon myself that if I was ever successful in getting it on my device (Motorola Atrix MB860, locked to T-Mobile UK), I'd share my experience and hopefully create a how-to in the process. I am hoping this guide will be useful to many others.
Please be advised that this is the completed version of this simple guide, the actual process involved me having to back track and read several threads, then re-read some more other threads just to make sure I did the proper thing.
A big thank you to all those who took the time to make the guides I based this "all in one" guide for T-Mobile Atrix users. Some of them had an instruction or two missing (like when do you plug in the phone to the computer?) that would have been obvious to many but to some would have had trouble figuring out.
The phone in question: Motorola Atrix MB860. My phone was running Android 2.2.2. I updated the phone using a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit machine.
Since I got it as a free phone on a new contract, I'd like to assume that the phone itself was network locked. I haven't tried any other SIM with it so far. Please be advised, YOU DO NOT NEED TO UNLOCK YOUR PHONE TO GET CM7. Unlocking the BOOTLOADER, is not the same as unlocking the phone. This maybe obvious to some people, but again, not to everyone (saw a guy respond in one forum who had to pay to get his phone network-unlocked, in hoping that would make it easier to install CM7 for him).
Also, this guide is not meant to be the official way of loading it up, I just hope that it makes it easier for someone else to load up the excellent CM7 on to a Motorola Atrix. Add it to the list of many threads you'll need to read! But I hope this thread is all you need to read.
So here goes, the step by step guide (I took) in getting the latest CM7 on it. Before I start, a few necessary words:
WARNING #1 - Ensure that whenever you plugin your phone, or install something, or run a command, please let the event finish before going on to the next step. In my experience, there were several times that I had to plug in the phone, and wait for the driver installation to continue, and on one instance I got a bit impatient unplugged the phone before realizing that it was still installing. It set me back another 10 minutes just because of that.
WARNING #2 - Please make sure that you back up any data that you have just to be sure. After the end of the entire process, your phone will be back to factory settings and you will need to re-setup any customisations, and put back any media files you use, AND install any apps you use.
WARNING #3 - Just to be safe, and to make sure that your battery stats isn't messed up, make sure that you fully charge your phone first before continuing with this guide.
DISCLAIMER - As with anything regarding XDA and tinkering with your phone, you may void your warranty doing this. I cannot be 100% sure that your phone will not be bricked by this (I've been using the guides by XDA'ers over the years and have yet to brick a phone. Well I did brick my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 once, but I was able to recover it!). Proceed at your own discretion.
THE GUIDE
1. Download all the necessary files. I have taken the liberty of gathering all the files you will need in one archive. Click on any of the following download links to grab it.
* Deposit Files Main
* MediaFire Mirror
* Filesonic Mirror
* Megaupload Mirror
2. UnRAR the archive to "C:". A warning may show up based on your security settings, just say "Yes" to this.
3. Install the necessary drivers and programs. Start with "MotorolaEndUserDrivers_5.1.0x64.msi". Then install "RSDLite5.3.1.msi".
4. Unlocking the Bootloader.
a. Turn off your phone.
b. Remove your SIM, and MicroSD card if you have one.
c. Put the battery back in, then press and hold "Power Button + Volume Up" until it acknowledges RSD.
d. The phone will say “Starting RSD protocol support”.
e. On your computer, open "RSD Lite".
f. Press the “...” button.
g. Locate the "intl-fix-try1.sbf" file. This should be located in "C:\MotorolaMB860toCM7\". Select that. For USA AT&T users please refer to this link to download the correct SBF file.
h. Connect your phone to the computer. Ensure that all the drivers are installed before proceeding.
i. RSD Lite should recognize your phone and say something similar to “Model: SE Flash Olympus” and the status should read as “Connected…”
j. Press the “Start” button. This may take a few moments. My phone rebooted and completed starting up before the timer in RSD Lite reached 100%! But I did not disconnect the phone just to be sure.
k. Press "Windows Key + R". Type "cmd" then press "Enter".
l. In the command prompt window, enter in "C:" first to make sure you're in the right drive, then execute "cd C:\MotorolaMB860toCM7\fastboot\" to go to the right folder. This will change your working folder to that of where the files are (well, a subfolder of the main folder, you should be at the fastboot working folder, I won't say folder again... D'OH!).
m. Turn off your phone. After making sure it's turned off, press "Power Button + Volume Down" until you see "Fastboot" on the phone's screen.
n. Press "Volume Up" and you should see “Starting Fastboot protocol support”.
o. Connect your phone back to the computer via USB. Again, ensure that any driver installation prompts are finished before proceeding.
p. Back at the command prompt, type "fastboot oem unlock".
q. A warning will appear, along with a "Unique Device ID".
r. Type "fastboot oem unlock *****". Where ***** will be your "Unique Device ID".
s. Type "fastboot reboot".
t. Your phone will now reboot. Now, your phone has an unlocked bootloader!
5. Flashing CWM Recovery using FASTBOOT.
a. Turn off your phone. Then boot into "fastboot". This is done by pressing "Power Button + Volume Down" when turning on your phone.
b. When you see "Fastboot" on the phone's screen, press "Volume Up" to select it.
c. Connect your phone to your computer. Again ensure any prompts are finished before proceeding.
d. Your command prompt should still be open, and your working directory should still be "C:\MotorolaMB860toCM7\fastboot\". Now type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
e. After the process, type in "fastboot reboot".
f. Your phone will now reboot, and you have successfully installed CWM Recovery.
6. Installing Cyanogen Mod 7!
a. Turn the phone off then put back your SIM, and your MicroSD card.
b. Turn on your phone, and after the phone completely boots up, connect it to your computer. You should use Mass Storage as the connection option in the phone.
c. Copy the files "Ba2tF.zip" and "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" into the phone's internal memory.
d. Disconnect the phone properly from the computer, then turn off the phone.
e. On the phone, press "Power Button + Volume Down" until you see "Fastboot".
f. Press "Volume Down" several times until you see "Android Recovery". Then press "Volume Up". Your phone should say "Entering Android Recovery Mode".
g. Using the volume keys for movement (Up & Down) and the power button for selection, choose "install zip from sdcard".
h. Then select "choose zip from internal sdcard".
i. You might see a lot of folders and files here. You will need to select "Ba2tF.zip".
j. After which, it will ask you to confirm. Select "Yes - Install Ba2tF.zip".
k. After it completes the installation, you will need to run the "wipe data/factory reset" command in CWM Recovery. Follow the prompts to complete this.
l. After that, you will need to run the "wipe cache partition" command in CWM Recovery. Again, follow the prompts to complete this.
m. When it completes, choose "reboot system now".
n. Be enchanted by the excellent Cyanogen Mod 7 loading screen!
7. Due to an arrangement (more like a request) from Google, the Cyanogen Mod 7 release does not contain any Google Apps. To install the necessary Google Apps:
a. Turn off the phone.
b. On the phone, press "Power Button + Volume Down" until you see "Fastboot".
c. Press "Volume Down" several times until you see "Android Recovery". Then press "Volume Up". Your phone should say "Entering Android Recovery Mode".
d. Using the volume keys for movement (Up & Down) and the power button for selection, choose "install zip from sdcard".
e. Then select "choose zip from internal sdcard".
f. You might see a lot of folders and files here. You will need to select "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip".
g. After which, it will ask you to confirm. Select "Yes - Install gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip".
h. When it completes, choose "reboot system now".
8. That is it! That's the whole process I believe. Can easily be done in 30 minutes, but I would recommend alotting an hour to this project just to be safe.
I have found that once going on to Cyanogen Mod 7, it would be very hard, nay, would be insane for me to go back to the Stock ROM (or any other ROM for that matter!). I personally think that all this hard work is worth it. Bottom line, I appreciate what my phone is and has to offer thanks to the Cyanogen Mod team (specifically the Atrix-Dev-Team!).
Most importantly, donations to the Atrix-Dev-Team (http://code.google.com/p/atrix-dev-team/) will be most appreciated (I'm not a part of them but I support what they do, hey). They do a fantastic job and giving them some beer money is the least we can do to show our appreciation.
Last and not the least, this guide is a combination of all the other guides that I have had to read and peruse in order for me to get my phone on to CM7. All I did was get the necessary important information that was useful to me, but the credit of the actual content and the guides go to the following:
1. Motorola Atrix 4G Forums
2. * Official CM7 for Atrix Stable only (No Nightly )* Atrix CM Ba2tF RELEASED!!
3. CM7 Q&A
3. [Updated 10-30-2011] THE BEGINNERS (N00B) GUIDE!!! N00BS LOOK HERE FOR YOUR HOW TOs
4. [PUDDING] International House of Pudding! BL Unlock/root thread (Updated 07/23/2011)
5. BriefMobile - How To: Unlock the Atrix 4G Bootloader
6. Atrix-Dev-Team Backup/Restore
* In case you were wondering what "preinstall.img" is, well according to this thread, it should help with ROOTing your phone. I haven't done so, haven't used it, but I've attached it for your convenience should you feel extra adventurous.
I wish you success in the installation of CM7 on to your Motorola Atrix!
Good job figuring it out and writing an in detail guide, I am sure many people will find it useful ....
...
BUT
.... the procedures of installing CM7 on network locked and network unlocked phones are exactly the same.
So, existing guides would do the job just fine, disregarding if the phone is sim locked or not.
Thanks for pointing that out, I will update the thread to indicate this.

I needed to be in the fastboot directory to execute the fastboot commands using moto-fastboot [command].
Also needed to copy the recovery image to the fastboot directory.
Otherwise, easy to complete in around 30 minutes as you say.
Thanks very much,
Jim
Awesome guide!
But one question, "cd\MotorolaMB860toCM7" would that work? Wouldn't you need to wright "cd C:\MotorolaMB860toCM7" (assuming everything is extracted to C
Thank you lovfors and yey365 for the tips! Have updated the thread now.
Gonna throw this guide in the General section. It's not development, so it doesn't belong here.
Just a quick note so nobody bricks by mistake, remember to use the correct pudding for your kind of phone (international or AT&T)!

Thank you sir, I have amended the step with additional details. Cheers!
Awesome walkthrough, signed up just to say thanks. The only thing wrong was the recovery image didn't work for me, tried a few times then got one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500 and it worked great.
Guys,
Is this ROM is 100% compatible with MB860?
Example: Fingerprint / DockStation

The answer to your question can be found here.
Do some research before asking basic questions!
What Doesn’t Work:
•Fingerprint sensor - Work in progress (not native to CM)
•Webtop - Work in progress (not native to CM)
OK I see now.
Thks
If its any consolation, the lockscreens for CM7 are more than capable. Having big fingers, the fingerprint scanner only worked 60% of the time for me. Still, here's to hoping it gets fully implemented.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
The fingerprint scanner isn't about finger size, it's more about positioning and timing. I went from unlocking at a 70% rate to a 100% by just knowing how to position my fingers and sliding slowly, but not too slow. Unlocking in 1-1.5 second(s) sure beats typing the pin or having a unsecured phone.
I flashed to a GB ROM until CM7 gets it. CM7 has some sensitivity problems for me (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331631) and it also cannot play HD flash yet. Don't get me wrong, I love what the devs are doing for CM7 and I support them all the way, but I just can't find myself to use it as my daily ROM until the small things (big for me) are patched out. Other than the problems mentioned, it is the best, it gives AMAZING battery life. About double what the GB ROMs give us, which is great. But I am willing to sacrifice charging every 1.5 days instead of 3 for Fingerprint and HD Flash.
Thanks for this guide, Will make my wife very happy.
She got the Atrix from t-mobile uk yesterday and hated it.
Her galaxy s cm7 was faster and my defy cm7 kept with up with it.
lets hope cm7 does it normal job and matches amazing hardware with amazing software.
Hey I need some help! I rooted my phone, unlocked bootloader and installed CWM as per in instructions in the noobs guide sticky and now have been trying to install CM7.
When it goes into the recovery screen I tried to install the cm7 zip file from the internal storage and it keeps giving me a installation aborted error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Does anyone know how to get around this or what I am doing wrong??
I know you guys hate noobs and everything but this is starting to piss me off and I could use some help
i cant get to this step:
6
b. Turn on your phone, and after the phone completely boots up, connect it to your computer. You should use Mass Storage as the connection option in the phone.
my computer cannot detect my atrix having storage space.
so the only way i can install the cm7 rom is to "install from external sd card"
although it was successful, i got the error message during the installation, "error mounting /emmc"
i dont know if this error related to the following issue. i can only detect 1.97gb internal storage in the setting and the rest of the storage is missing!!
someone got the same problem and figured out the solution?
CMD problem D:
5. Flashing CWM Recovery using FASTBOOT.
a. Turn off your phone. Then boot into "fastboot". This is done by pressing "Power Button + Volume Down" when turning on your phone.
b. When you see "Fastboot" on the phone's screen, press "Volume Up" to select it.
c. Connect your phone to your computer. Again ensure any prompts are finished before proceeding.
d. Your command prompt should still be open, and your working directory should still be "C:\MotorolaMB860toCM7\fastboot\". Now type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
e. After the process, type in "fastboot reboot".
f. Your phone will now reboot, and you have successfully installed CWM Recovery.
For part d i got into C:\motorolamb860\fastboot but when i try to enter fastboot flash recovery recovery.img it says "Fastboot" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Im pretty sure i followed the instructions dead on >.> i don't know why i cant flash recovery ~_~ help please

Hello there!
As you mentioned that you are not able to see other Recovery options like "Install from zip" etc. This is because you must be booting your phone into the Stock Recovery. For those extra options to come up we need to boot the phone into the Custom Recovery.
To boot into Custom Recovery:
1. Press power on button;
2. Notice when the LED light blinks "BLUE" color; press both the volume keys this time;
3. Now it should show you Custom Recovery options this time;
4. Select "Install from Zip" and flash the ROM you were trying to flash (Also refer to the ROM info if that has some special installation steps).
If the above steps does not resolves the issue then you can always flash you phone with the Stock ROM found in the following article named as SBF:

Hope that helps!

I guess you'd charge your phone first then wait for a while,

I'm disappointed to know that you are still facing the same issue. Also, renaming the file to update.zip will not let you flash it.
As suggested above first recharge your battery for a while and then flash with appropriate SBF of your region using RSD Lite. Refer to the above given link it has all the information. Also, note that if you flash with any particular android version SBF (which is not a fixed SBF) then you will not be able to downgrade (above article has all info).
Hope this helps!
Good Luck!
Okay, thanks for all.. this is the T Mobile Uk version and i got it with eclair rom, and than updated with orignal T mobile froyo.
Now i should start from froyo or eclair?

You may use any ROM either Froyo or Eclair. Please also check the downgradilbility of the ROM. As in many of the cases if the ROM is not fixed then switching back to the earlier versions is impossible without having the Nandroid backup. I suggest you to use the version which is officially released in your region.
ROMs can be downloaded from the below mentioned link:

We are launching Stock Recovery and wiping cache and data.
Use below mentioned steps:
1. Remove battery from phone and then reinsert;
2. Press and hold Volume Down button along with Power button till you see Android icon with an exclamation mark (!);
3. Once you see android icon and exclamation mark release both buttons and now press volume up and volume down button together;
4. Above steps will launch Android System Recovery window (Stock Recovery);
5. Now “wipe data/factory reset” by pressing volume down key and to select press power key;
6. On the next screen it will prompt you to confirm this option by selecting “yes – delete all use data” select this option with power key again;
6. Also “wipe cache partition” from power key as mentioned above;
7. Now select “reboot system now”;
After above steps it will take around 3-5 minutes for first boot and your phone will now boot in normal state.
If the above steps does not resolves the issue then I would recommend you to use some other SBF depending on your region.
Hope this helps!

What if I have balck screen in recovery mode as well?
Do you have any idea how to solve the same problem if the recovery mode does not start neither? Only RSDLite sees that the phone is connected. I can refresh the ROM but I did not find the right .sbf file yet. Do you know maybe which one would bring back the phone from death?
Thank you in advance!!

Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me, my defy doesn’t react for any key combination. RSD Lite still discovers it I can flash any sbf’s. But I’m still getting black screen. The problem is that I don’t know which sbf I should use… Please help. I know I can’t brick defy but if I don’t know how to get back I’m almost there…

It seems an issue with the Kernel. May be you are flashing the Green lense Defy (MB525) with GB kernel (i.e. MB526 sbf).
Also check the Bootloader version and which Android version you were using.
Here is a list of all the SBF's for both versions:

PS:- I don't use Defy for a year now as I own a Nexus 4.
Posting for a friend here. Running the Verizon note 3 on what I assume is the most up to date stock software.
Basically he informed me that he wiped cache from recovery because his phone "was having issues" after he rebooted his home screen pin unlock is saying he entered the wrong pin. Is there any way short of a factory reset that will fix this. Thanks for your help

We'd need a bit more info but here goes.
If he's pure stock they can try going into download mode and doing a hard reset. Turn off phone and follow these steps.
1) Press and hold the Volume Up + Home + Power buttons at the same time. For about 5 to 8 seconds, the phone will reload.
2) Release all buttons as soon as you see the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 logo.
3) In the Android system recovery mode, use the volume rocker to highlight wipe data/factory reset, and then press the Power button to select.
4) Select Yes — delete all user data
5) Next, select reboot system now.
He'll have to redo his apps and stuff all over again but he'll be into his phone.
If he is rooted and running a custom rom just reboot and hit safestrap recovery button on start up and reflash rom. You are assuming he on just stock software but we aren't 100% sure.

I stated that he was running stock. He is trying to find a way to do this without wiping data as he has information he doesn't have backed up that he doesn't want to loose

I don't know what else he can do other than hard resetting the phone. Did he save it to his sd card or internal storage? If it's on his sd card he's fine. If it's on his internal storage I don't know what else to do. I don't think there's any software for that as it's his phone but bypassing the pin lock any other way might be considered phone piracy and I doubt the xda governing bodies will let that be posted here even if something existed. There was some software for the s3 that let you put your imei number back on your phone if you lost it flashing roms but xda had to not let it be posted here as it could have been used to activate a stolen phone. I don't know what else to do to help. He may have to bite the bullet on this one unless someone else knows something I don't.

Hello everyone, from the title you've probably figured that I might be a noob and you'd be correct.
I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I'm trying to root and add TWRP to my phone, I've searched for a user friendly guide and this: "https://rootthedroid.com/root-leeco-le-max-2-install-twrp-recovery/" is the most user friendly guide I can find.
Something is not installing correctly and I think there are gaps in this guide, I'm pretty good at reading and following directions. I'm able to get into bootloader and Once I think I've installed TWRP the power button + volume down button does nothing when the phone is on except for take a screen shot and eventually shut down. However, when the phone is powered down, I'm able to hold the volume down + power buttons and it will eventually take me back to the bootloader screen but not to TWRP as the guide states it should.
So after this I thought I did something wrong and went to factory reset the phone.... When I initiated factory reset, that brought up the TWRP menu, so it was in fact installed onto the phone. I then continue the instructions in the guide. At the end, the power down + power button function does not work except for powering down the phone and bringing me back to the bootloader screen. I then installed the TWRP app and it still says that the device is not rooted.
I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of a good thorough guide or please explain to me step by step how to get this thing rooted. I have x829 version and will be using primarily in Ohio if that matters. I'd also like some guidance on what ROM to choose.
Thank you for your time!!!!

You need to go for the right combination brother.....
Volume down with power button will take you to bootloader.....
For TWRP, press Volume up and power button simultaneously......
And for rooting flash magisk and you're good to go.....

This guy's got the right answer.
Please be sure to continue holding power and volume up until the words "recovery" come up on the screen otherwise it will just do a normal boot to Android.
Another method is to enable developer options (about phone and tap build 7 times), then to enable ADB, then use a PC and usb to the phone and use adb reboot recovery.
Also, if it boots to EUI ROM recovery instead of TWRP? It could be EUI ROM overwriting TWRP after flashing via fastboot.
The solution to that issue is to reboot into bootloader, flash recovery TWRP and then to either hold power and volume up to reboot into recovery or to use "fastboot boot TWRP.img" and then do reboot into recovery from there.
