CWM Problem Help!!

[Boot329]

First off all i'd like to say that i'm no "expert" when it comes to flashing but I know the general rule of thumb before flashing anything (roms)
1. Wipe Cache 2. Wipe data/factory reset

Now I was running the pre-beta cyanogen 7 port recently and its great and all but having no camera or bluetooth was a deal breaker for me- I decided to flash a backup that I had on my sd card.

Everything thing was going smoothly while flashing the backup using CWM (v.4.0.1.4) until it ran into an "error formatting /data" problem.

Any who I thought that was a no big deal and rebooted the device.... only to be stuck on the boot screen forever.
I started to panic BIG TIME and I was able to access CWM Recovery no problem.... until I realized I couldn't flash the pre-beta cyanogenmod since I couldn't see/view any files on my sd card.

Now i'm stuck with a "soft brick" Atrix that is stuck on the bootscreen yet able to boot up CWM recovery and it feels like its going to be the end of me.

Advice is welcomed.

Thanks!

Did you see if your SD card was mounted in cwm?

It says its unmounted but when I try mounting and leaving the setting screen it reverts back to unmounted...

fastboot flash CWM recovery and you should be able to access everything like you were to before.

That's how i've accessed CWM recovery this whole time yet it still hasn't shown me the zip files (rom) on my sd card.

hmmm....

pull the SD card and plug into normal PC, back it up, format it, copy the zip onto it, see if that makes a difference?

failing that try pushing the ROM onto your internal via fastboot?

I've tried using a new sd card, formatted it, loaded up the zip files onto it, no dice.

How would you put the rom on the internal via fastboot??

I am all ears.

first things first reflash your recovery. Grab the latest one off the dev thread (use romracers for latest). Both tenfar's latest and romracer's latest have option to flash zip file off external SD.
Your recovery might have corrupted or reverted back to stock, so just try it.

moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If that fails then I'd just use fastboot to flash the stock ROM. You'll have to do your own digging around to find the correct .img files

then you're back to stock and can proceed at your leisure.

You can pretty much do most things in recovery or use moto-fastboot without risk of hard bricking, so don't worry.

all else fails I'd try RSDlite a stock sbf via following thread. BE CAREFUL DO NOT DOWNGRADE IF YOU'VE UPGRADED TO GINGERBREAD VIA OTA OTHERWISE YOU HARD BRICK do your homework...

Fastboot flash the boot image of the ROM you are going back to. There is a known possible issue when restoring from CM7 which they have posted instructions for. Happened to me. Flashing the Aura boot.img via fastboot fixed it for me as this is the ROM I had flashed back to. You can get the boot.img by unzipping the ROM you are flashing.

OP, did you get your phone working?
If so, what got you back in the game?

Cheers!
