Can't Boot New Atrix

I recently purchased a used atrix. It worked fine but I wanted to try a different ROM.

Fast forward a little bit and I had rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and setup a recovery.

I downloaded the Neutrino CM7 ROM and put it on my external SD card (possible mistake #1, the thread says use internal).

I went into the recovery on the phone, made a backup of the phone and then went about wiping dalvik, cache, factory-reset, etc.

I then flashed the ROM from zip and some of the addons from the thread. When I went to reboot, the phone sits at the "M Dual Core" screen (I gave it plenty of time for any kind of background "first-boot" stuff and even removed the battery and let it try again). I have wiped and reinstalled the ROM about 4 times now.

I then decided to just go back to my original config and tried to restore from the backup (after wiping). Now after restoring the backup I either get a bootloop, or it will just sit at the "M Dual Core" screen again.

My only solace was that I was able to get into fastboot from the phone, but now after many attempts, it displays "Battery is too low to flash" if I try to enter fastboot. The phone doesn't seem to charge because it just sits at the "M Dual Core" screen whether its plugged into the wall or otherwise.

I am stuck on what to do next. I have access to the recovery, so I thought of trying another ROM, but how can I get those files to the device?

You could plug your microSD card to a computer and copy the ROM you want to it. Alternatively, I once saw an option in clockworkmod recovery to mount the sdcard or the internal storage with the phone plugged to a computer via USB. If I recall it correctly, this option is located in the 'mounts and storage' section of the recovery.

Thanks. This worked perfectly!
