I am not new to any of this, but I am having a problem. VZW is sending me an Incredible, so I need to unroot. I used 2 different methods, both of which failed. Can someone please give me a hand or link me to some other options?
These are the methods I have tried:

Perhaps you could state what problem you experienced when you tried using the Flashback21 ROM; the only thing that it requires is the Amon_RA recovery (Clockwork is not supported). Other than that, it should flash like any other ROM.
You might also want to mention what the exact bootloader version you have on your phone, whether or not you can use your trackball (for up/down/press actions) without too much trouble.

I do have amon-ra recovery. When I flashed it aborted. The error message states a corrupt file. My phone is rebooting now. I am going to reflash to tell you the exact corrupt file. Give me a minute?

I am redownloading now. I thought of that a few minutes ago.
Yes, I have full use of the track ball. I don't know what bootloader version I have, and it is rebooting again, so I can't check right now...

bad download or you corrupted it when you transfered it from your pc.
Use AFV the from the market to verify the checksum of the zip file on the SD card.
When you transfer large files from the PC you always always need to perform a "safely remove hardware" before you unmount from the Eris or remove the USB cable.

Try flashing a different custom ROM, possible your recovery has become corrupted. If flashing another ROM doesn't work reinstall AmonRA and try FlashBack again. If it does work, I'd try FlashBack again, just for ****s and giggles.

You know, I tried flashing nonsensikal 15.2 a couple days ago, and I kept getting a corrupt file error with that as well.
Maybe my recovery IS corrupted!

Uh, I know you are in a hurry, but ...
It is impossible for Amon_RA to install a corrupted ROM file.
Read that again: It is impossible for Amon_RA to install a corrupted ROM file.
If it passes the verification step in Amon_RA, then the ROM .zip file is OK
Now, if something fails during the install, then there are three possible causes:
- The SD card is flaky, and file reads are erratic (which could allow the verification pass in Amon_RA to succeed, but the subsequent read to fail).
- Prior operations on the phone have corrupted one or more partitions on the phone so that insufficient space remains in the partition you are writing to.
- Flaky hardware.
Does the error with the specific file you mentioned happened during verification or afterwards during the install process?
bftb0
BTW, there are two different "1.49.nnnn" bootloaders - you need to be precise.

Not unless you have flashed a new radio at some point, and I would recommend avoiding that. I've lost recovery twice, one of the times I was able to just use jcase's 1 Click Eris Root and the other time I had to reflash the recovery, try the 1 Click first, I need to research the procedure for a Terminal Emulator flash again, last time I used FastBoot instead.
Nevermind, I'd follow bftb0, he's far wiser, and I was doing some rather whimsical stuff with my phone and KGB when I lost my recovery.

I tried to flash and got this:

E:Error writing Boot:
E:Failure at line 369:
write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img BOOT:
Installation aborted.
I tried to reboot and it wouldn't boot, so I pulled the battery and went back into recovery and tried to apply the NANDROID backup, seemed to apply fine, but now it always boots into bootloader, no matter what I do. I can still make it into recovery so it isn't all lost, but I can't do anything else from there.
Bizarre, never seen an error like that before!

Re-Applying the ROM gets the same result.
I did Wipe and try to re-apply and also wipe and Nandroid. All got me nowhere. I ended up getting it fixed by applying Cyanogens Bacon1.img. I am really interested in your ROM though. Think maybe I got a bad download or something. I will try again and check the md5 sum this time.
my tether puts a signal out and all but i cant connect to it.. only get local
So after downloading the ROM again after the first one didnt work, I got this for the md5 checksum:
Code:
e04970294888313787d0b9d5cb370a12
Which is entirely different than what is posted on the MoDaCo Forum:
Code:
d537e42372a7239dfaf40846ef0b8b4e
However, I could be doing it wrong. This is the first time I tried using md5 checksums to verify a download. However I used two different utilitys to get the same checksum and I don't want to try to flash it again and have it mess up.

I can help fix your problem and it is very simple. READ THE FIRST POST BY PAUL. DO NOT WIPE. Do a Nandriod backup then apply the update. Remember do not extract the rom file with I hope WINRAR, just rename update. Let me know if this solves it for you which it should. Kevin

Maybe I should have explained everything I did step by step, I did READ THE FIRST POST BY PAUL AND DIDN'T WIPE. Before I even tried flashing, I performed a Nandroid Backup. I booted into recovery, applied the update, got the error message I listed, tired to reboot, got stuck, pulled the battery, booted back into recovery, performed a wipe, reapplied the update, rebooted, still a no-go, rebooted back into recovery, performed a Nandroid restore, after it completed, rebooted, got stuck on bootloader screen, reloaded the ROM on the SD card, tried flashing again, still no luck, ended up flashing Cyanogens Bacon1.img to fix the problem.
I want to give it another try, but I may wait and find out if my md5 sum is correct or maybe try another link if someone post it up.

Paul's rom's are only at modaco and I am pretty sure he does not allow other links for I only use his rom's and have one on my Hero Telus, AT&T 3G, and what I like most about them is he keeps them as close to stock as possible, a good thing, and just optimizes them.
Your not going to brick your n1 so I know your gun-shy now but try the link a few more times even and it will work. Also, delete or format your memory card so it the rom is at the root for this might have something to do with it. Want you to have a happy ending. Kevin
The zips are signed, if a download is corrupt it won't flash.

I believe that this message implies that the download was bad (i.e., and incomplete file or a mis-matched MD5 signature).
I'm not that familiar with ClockworkMod or ROM manager, but have a peek at this thread: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/koush/47399-upgrade-rom-rom-manager-problem.html since it seems to describe what you are seeing.
If you are downloading your first directly to your phone, you can check your MD5 with Astro File Manager (long-press file name, select details, and wait a little bit for the MD5 checksum to appear).
You could also try my app, AFV (Android File Verifier). It has several checksum options, including MD5 and SHA1. You can use its "Verify Jar-type File" to verify the integrity of a signed file even if you don't know the MD5 checksum.
Cheers!

Yeah, sorry...I wasn't exactly sure...
I know that ClockworkMod lets you navigate its menus without using the trackball, but most rooted folks use Amon_RA's custom recovery.
A while back, I created a trackball-optional version of Amon_RA's recovery for the Eris. Here's the thread I created over on AF re. this:

lol...sorry, no. I've only heard that Odin (timely Thor-related reference, eh? ) is used for the Samsung phones.
There are others around that know and have used ClockworkMod on the Eris, but they are relatively few and far between (plus, things certainly seem to be slowing down in the various Eris forums recently). There have also been some unexplained brickings of phones using CWM that have scared off potential users of that custom recovery, so most have stayed with and use Amon_RA's.

I keep getting these warm-and-fuzzies from folks that my efforts for building the trackball-optional recovery was well worth it (with kudos and thanks again to RA for his help in filling-in the key gaps in how to build it).

My trackball has not worked pretty much since I bought the phone. I have found is you plug in your usb charger and lift up firmly the trackball works with no issues at all. Just FYI. And here's to the dev's that keep our end of life eris fast and up to date. And no sense thank GOD. lol
Yep, that is a definite way to work it ... I was unable to ROOT for over 2 months after getting my Eris b/c my trackball didn't work. It wasn't until I found this advice over in DF that I was finally able to negotiate the recovery menu.
HOWEVER (!!!) After almost a year of moderate flashing/recovery use, my USB/AC charger barely works anymore. I have to put weight on the USB near the connec w/ the phone to get it to recognize & charge.
I have tried to install the Amon_ra trkball not req script but couldn't get it to work ... I just use CWM these days b/c I don't need to use the damn thing !
Good thing I am coming up for an UPGRADE

So after many reflashed of 3.09 i finally decided to flash a different rom all together. That rom stays in boot. I'm S-on btw. I dont know what to do. I'm disabled and live alone so I need my phone. Thank you guys very much in advanced.
Sounds like your TWRP may need to be upgraded to the latest. You will have to go to the teamwin website and update using fastboot since you can't boot into the rom. If you have a nandroid backup you should try to restore that first.

You just need to be able to get to the bootloader. So long as you have your PC/Linux set up with adb you can run the adb fastboot command and install the recovery then adb reboot.

First, make sure you renamed it properly.
Then, make sure you're putting it in your external SD card, not your internal. If you don't have an external, then just place it in /sdcard

When i bring up the bootloader it update twrp and when i select recovery, it reboots to a black screen. How do i pull out the file so it doesnt reinstall twrp every time. It wont open twrp so i can remove the zip. Could that zip file be bad?
Do i need to select clear storage in bootloader?
Does it take time for twrp to load? I dont remember my phone doing this on the last twrp install.
Just remove the SDCARD from the back and you won't have it try to install it every time.
It doesn't take long for TWRP to load really. After the installation, boot into the Recovery through the bootloader.
If he is s-on I didn't think he could flash a recovery through the bootloader.
Update your drivers and try to install the recovery through fastboot.
You didn't need to make a new thread in the wrong section for help as people were already helping you.

Im still getting stuck in boot. I'll try another rom I use.
Okay, so I have attempted to update OTA my rooted/unlocked LGOG. It failes about 3% into the update and states it was "unable to update" no details. I tried restoring and unlocking, which caused a kernel crash on every boot up. I finally got it back down to 10o, used the stock ROM posted here to flash to 11c, then again up to Stock JB. Everything again appeared to work until I tried to flash the radio image. It failed every time and made it impossible to connect to wifi or receive most phone calls. I've searched the forums and although I see similar issues, none of the advice has worked for me.
I assume I must be just missing some obvious step or something. Any ideas?
Are you not able to use the flashable ZIP Snow posted here?

That method does work, I just can't successfully install the radio. Is there any trick to that that's different than any other flash?

What actually happens when you try to flash the radio?
It sounds like you just got a bad download for the radio file.

Radio: cwm-ATTJB-Radio
Recovery: TWRP 2.4.3
Does the radio zip require CWM for installation? I may have answered my own question by actually paying attention to the filename.
No. TWRP worked fine for me. Try download radio file and flash again.

SOLVED - finally.
Removing the SD card fixed whatever glitch was causing the failure. Reinstalled the card and all is well. I am having trouble restoring app backups, but I can live with that. Thanks for everyone's help!
Hello XDA members,
I was hoping somebody would help me out, I'm fairly new when it comes to installing custom roms so I require your patience. I don't know how to install a custom rom onto my Bell Atrix HD MB886, everytime I try it says abortion failed, what can I do to fix this. I have wiped data and all that probably 5 times in the past week alone. I would like to know how to successfully install roms without errors. Both the times that I have done this I had my bootloader unlocked, and I had clockword recovery mod latest version 6.0.4.4. I bought an SD card today to help install the roms because otherwise I can't do it from my internal storage. I really hope somebody can help me out.
Regards,
Roger

Hi there. A failed abortion certainly seems like an issue... I guess I am not totally clear on the status here. You say that you had CWM. Do you still have it? Bootloader is still unlocked? What rom are you trying to install? Are you certain it's for the Bell version and not like the AT&T one? What is the exact error message?

No I don't have it atm as I just wiped the data/cache last night but will I already have CWM, I just need to unlock the bootloader and try again...I'm trying to install this one:
Android 4.4.2 KitKat Mokee Rom, and it says the version is a nightly. Yes I'm positive it's the Bell Version as I purchased it at a Bell Store and my carrier is Bell. The error message is "Installation Aborted." It begins installing, and then halfway through I get that error message. How do I fix this?
I figured you knew what phone you had. I was wondering if you had a rom built for the Bell version vs an ATT one. But since you are using a CM based rom, it obviously doesn't matter. Curious as to why you are bothering with relocking the bootloader? But I suggest to either try a different version of the rom, or to change your recovery to one of the Philz Touch versions as that's what some of the other users in that thread for the rom for your phone were using. You can find them here:

No I was bothering to unlock it again, not lock it. Where can I find different versions for the 4.4.2 Mokee Rom? I've tried using the Philz Touch version: Motorola Atrix HD One Click Philz recovery installer and when I tried it a couple of times it said it failed to install although I'm not sure why. I came across these images the other day but how do I use the .img files on my device, as I'm not sure to proceed from here once I have them downloaded.

I was curious as why you relocked it in the first place.
Where are you getting Mokee from that doesn't have a link to their Downloads?

Right on. Well, you should bookmark the thread here on XDA because that's typically where the action happens.

Okay so I'm trying it now and the program won't even open :/
Odd. I just downloaded it to test and I didn't have any issues. If you can't get the actual application / exe file to open, then just use the Main-Skip.bat. Does the same thing.
If it doesn't open still, make sure that you have your anti-virus off as sometimes those interfere with programs like this. Might also try as admin.

Okay I wasn't looking at the actual .exe sorry, I got it to work and all I installed the Philz One Touch Recovery from that program, just downloaded a different rom and all and then I select the apply update from external storage and when it gets to the verifying update package, it gave me the same error message as yesterday, Installation Aborted.
So again, how do I fix this, am I doing something wrong? Why won't my custom rom install?

I don't think that is the most updated version. What's the version number of the recovery that was installed? It should be listed on the main page of it when you boot there. I was suggesting to use one of the new ones. It might have something to do with the SELinux support that KK roms need. You just have to put the img file in the tools folder and rename the new one the same. But here's no other error that shows up other than Installation Aborted? I was thinking usually it would have an error code or some other message.Have you checked the md5 of the rom zip to make sure it's not corrupted (if the dev provided it)?

Use one of the new versions of that program or to use the latest CWM which I have been. Okay I really don't know how to do that and where to move it to, how do I do such a thing? No it just says Installation Aborted... How would I do that? And yes I downloaded the new rom directly from his site.

Look in the tools folder of the zip you downloaded. Download the newest Philz Touch img from the other link from earlier. Rename it to replace the one in the tools folder. Redo the recovery install. But you didn't say what version you already have.

Did you do a full wipe, including wiping /system?
If you didn't, it should be under Mounts and Storage > Format /system of something of that sort.

Pop the battery out for a bit, then pop it back in and hold Volume Down while powering up. Should get you into fastboot where you can skip to the recovery.

The battery doesn't come out of my phone as you can't take the back off. I got into fast boot easily them selected recovery and nothing happened, I think my phone is screwed

Oh yea, forgot you have to undo the screws on the bottom. So you scroll down to hit recovery and use the Power button to select and it doesn't do anything? That's odd.. Try and reflash the recovery since you can still get to fastboot. If that doesn't work, you're not totally screwed since you can still get to fastboot, that means you should be able to restore it to stock and start over.
Alternatively, if you have fastboot set up, you could make sure that philz touch is in the fastboot folder and use this command:
fastboot boot recovery nameofphilztouchfile.img
If you don't have fastboot, then just grab this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 , drop the recovery img in that folder and open the CMD prompt on your computer and change directories to it and run the command.
