what am i doing wrong?

Hi Rom racer or anyone who can help,
I used this guide to unlock the bootloader on my phone- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1302423

then it continues to use your guide and you recovery which i did, and everything went well, ive read all way through this thread and i cant find the right answer.

my bootloader is unlocked, but my phone is not rooted.

I am able to find the 2 files that need to be either deleted or name but am unable to as i dont have the right permissions.

Ive tried several file apps including Astro, ES, Solid Explorer, ROM toolbox lite, and root browser.

Ive also tried 2 apps that are made to change mount options, an app called Remount and one called mount/system(rw/ro)

My phone says "unlocked" in the top left corner while booting.

If I try to reboot into Android recovery I get the android with the exclamation mark.

please help(im a noob)

You cannot delete those files without root. So first root. Then delete those files. Then flash custom recovery.

Thanks N3Ti
I finally got it rooted, and just in case anyone else is in the same situation I unlocked the bootloader using the afore mentioned threadthen i used this method to root-
http://www.android-advice.com/2011/how-to-root-the-atrix-4g-after-gingerbread-update/#comment-2137
im on android 2.3.4 using build number 4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.2 uk T-mobile, I also tried gingerbreak but it wouldnt work for me, no harm done whilst trying though.
I had tried doing it using similar guides on here but I was rebooting into fastboot to use the ADB SHELL instead of doing it whilst the phone was awake and in moto phone portal mode on the usb.
that said ill try and delete the files and get romracers recovery working.

Hello,

I like this recovery :)

Do you plan to evolve it and / or resync with the latest CWM version ?

Thank you :)

RomRacer is long gone. This recovery works great (with every ROM from froyo to cm10.1) and I still use it on my Atrix. Like that saying goes, if it's not broken, don't try to fix it. If you like up-to-date recovery, try TWRP which is also great (especially the keyboard)

I know this is kinda outdated.
But is there any reason why the "advanced backup" option is missing? I remember that in my moto-milestone i had an option that let me choose which partitions to backup.
This way i could only backup a few partitions making the process faster. For example, i could just backup data in a few minutes.

Recovery possibly didn't load?

I'm SIM unlocked, Rooted, Bootloader unlocked.
I followed the instructions for "Proper Recovery" I don't think it loaded, even though the cmd prompt finished.
I went back into recovery and it was still the stock blue colour, not the dark green I chose.
It reports at the top "Android System Recovery <3e>"
I redid the process, USB Debugging/Mass Storage ON, RSD Lite recognizes the phone.......No Love....:confused:

I will proceed to flashing a new ROM once this 'Recovery" issue is dealt with.

What am I missing or doing wrong?
What is the correct process?


***EDIT***
OK....My Bad,,,,,(usb debugging).

So I did it again 3X! and still the OEM blue "Android System Recovery <3e>" remains!
CMD finish's OK, it SHOULD be there, but it isn't !?
Screen shot included!
What am I doing wrong?

moto-fastboot & fastboot both fail?

Why don't you just download fastboot.exe or moto-fastboot.exe? :confused:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

I have run both the moto-fastboot & fastboot.
Its still the stock blue, showing "Android System Recovery <3e>".
I'm starting to suspect the '/system/etc/install-recovery.sh' file.
I delete it and its still there.


I'm really starting to feel no love from this phone,,,,,,what a struggle from the get go!.....:p




***EDIT***
Got rid of the install-recovery.sh file rebooted to recovery,,,,still the oem recovery "Android System Recovery <3e>"?!

I'm supposed to have this:

My finger is getting REEEEALY itchy, it just wants to tap that 'Install ROM' button without waiting to resolve this..............
Anyone?

WIN!.......FINALLY!
Root BU app was blocking it.

    This is a modified CWM-based recovery for the Motorola Atrix 4G. It is based on my own custom code forked from the CyanogenMod team's recovery. The major changes I have made include full support for dual SD cards, support for webtop partitions (SD card and internal) and changes to Nandroid backup/restore for this phone's additional partitions.

    Some highlights include:
    • Dual SD card support
    • ADB support
    • USB Mass Storage support
    • Nandroid additions/changes
    • ext3/4 formatting
    • Unified kernel for international users
    • Probably others

    This recovery is only for UNLOCKED devices. It is intended to be flashed directly to the recovery partition. Additionally, I have an AT&T phone so that is the kernel I am using. I doubt the memory issue would matter in recovery mode but testing from UNLOCKED international users would be appreciated. UPDATE: Initial indications are it works fine on UNLOCKED international phones. Versions for different tegraparts have also been compiled. UPDATE 2: Unified kernel patch has been applied. Choose whatever color you prefer regardless of phone version!

    UNLOCKED users can flash this recovery using:
    Code: 
    moto-fastboot devices

moto-fastboot erase recovery

moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img

    Example from my phone:
    Code: 
    $ moto-fastboot devices
TA20700KXH      fastboot

$ moto-fastboot erase recovery
            erasing 'recovery'... OKAY [  0.741s]

$ moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
  sending 'recovery' (4780 KB)... OKAY [  0.490s]
            writing 'recovery'... OKAY [  0.544s]

    This is posted in a DEVELOPER forum and is being released to help further the development of Android for the Motorola Atrix 4G. I have personally tested this on my phone but YOU assume full responsibility for any damage incurred to YOUR phone!

    Original ROM Manager installable zip thanks to SolidHelix. You must still be UNLOCKED to use them.

    Source is here.

    A few notes:
    • The capacitive buttons can be used to navigate as well. Back is back, search is select. Menu and home are up and down.
    • The "osh" partition is webtop. It is the largest by far and will take some time to backup. Nandroid is not frozen!
    • The "sd-ext" partition is an ext3/4 partition on your external SD card. Veterans will know this as apps2sd and data2sd from other phones. The only use I'm aware of on our phone currently is Sogarth's webtop2sd.

    Thanks to:
    • Koush and the CM team for CWM
    • Everyone who has made unlocking the Atrix possible

    2011-11-14 (5.0.2.7-atrix5):

    • Fix an issue with using ext4 formatting on stock ROMs

    2011-09-23 (5.0.2.3-atrix4):
    • Updated to CWR5 base source.

    2011-09-17 (4.0.1.5-atrix3.3):

    • Added a verify option to the backup and restore menu.

    2011-08-17 (4.0.1.5-atrix3.2):

    • Added a red build to the mix.
    • Updated the update-binary in the CWM zips to be tailored for this phone.
    • Minor fixes to sdparted (log file related mostly).

    2011-08-14 (4.0.1.4-atrix3.1):
    • Swap kernels to re-enable soft keys. Ext4 support should still work.

    • User is now prompted to backup or restore webtop (/osh and /sd-ext) during Nandroid.
    • Four alternate colors created.
    • Versions for different tegraparts (international phones) created.

    2011-08-05 (4.0.1.4-atrix1):
    • Initial release

    Screenshots
    Thanks to DarkSim2o9 for the following screenshots:

    Known Issues
    • sd-ext (webtop2sd) is inadvertently wiped on "Wipe data/factory reset". Next version will make this optional. Fixed in -atrix2.

    Miscellaneous
    If you'd like ROM Manager to see this recovery as "official" you can try XCellPhoneSalesRep's suggestion posted here.
    Alternately, you can try dcarpenter85's suggestion here.
    For issues with recovery not sticking or crashing, see here:
    Thanks to mrinehart93 for pointing this out.

    The system runs /system/etc/install-recovery.sh on boot with the stock rom. On boot it checks the recovery partition for some update and with CWM installed decides to reflash the stock recovery over it. Rename or delete the file and the CWM should stick.

    Sorry for the slow updates last couple of weeks guys; I got married on Saturday! I'd hoped to have the next version out before then but just didn't get to it. I should have something out later this week though or next week at the latest :) This will include things like "/emmc" for internal SD (not really exposed too much in recovery, but aligns with CM7.1, etc) as well as an updated kernel (the issue that affects bamastang and one other user).

    What worked for me coming from tenfar's " [Unlocked Only][Release]CWM Recovery Mod for Atrix 4G 2011-06-30 updated again!" RECOVERY :

    1) Download "CWM-recovery-atrix1.zip" from bottom of 1st post OR from HERE and place on root of Ext SD Card.

    2) Rom Manager ~~> Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (Flashes latest clockwork of stock 4.0.1.4 for Atrix)

    3) Rom Manager ~~> Install ROM from SD Card ~~> Chose CWM-recovery-atrix1.zip you downloaded and placed on Ext SD Card from step 1.

    4) Rom Manager ~~> Reboot into Recovery ~~> Top of Recovery should read CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.4-atrix1

    i feel that it cant get any easier then this...

    romracer if you feel the need to use these instructions in post 1, please feel free.
