[Q] CherryPi .3, stuck in bootloop - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Flashed .3 of Cherry Pi, and get stuck in a bootloop.
According to the first post on the thread, I have everything required.
Went back to my Nandroid backup of CherryBlur 1.4d.
I read one person had the problem and updated his CWM, but I'm already on the latest one from Tenfars thread, from 6/30. Is there another one I didnt see?
Thanks

Did you wipe the cache & data?

im having the same problem. just flashed cherryPi and now my phone is stuck in a bootloop. tried factory reset and still doesnt work.

Try to do a full wipe FIRST, then reflash the rom. Also, make sure you're not flashing from Rom Manager. If all else fails, PM the developer and he'll respond (or if he's not signed on try asking some other dev--they really are all eager to offer help, as long as you're patient).

It was my understanding during the ROM flashing process, it would do all that. I'll try that again though.

Flashing from Tenfars CWM. I had wanted to post in the dev thread, but not enough posts yet . Especially since one other person was having this issue...he fixed it by 'updating to latest CWM' .. which I believe I am on.
Thanks. I'll do a full wipe then flash. See if htat helps any.

[Q] Re: Evil Fascination 3.4.2

I got the latest Evil Fascination ROM 3.4.2 but when I try to install using CWM, it gets stuck when trying to boot up. any idea?

Any help appreciated.

Did you do a full wipe? (Data/cache/dalvik)
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yes. I did a wipe of cache partition/dalvik cache and also
did Wipe data/factory reset atleast 3 times each. Still I have the same issue.
Please help.
Thanks
Hmmm.... I would try downloading the ROM again and then trying to flash it. Maybe you got a bad download. If that doesn't work try flashing the newest clockworkmod. Good luck.

I tried re-downloading the file and still the same issue.
Wiped Data/Cache/Dalvik bunch of times and still the same result.
All these resulted in a soft brick . I was unable to restore my prev nandroid backup also.
Fortunately I found the solution to soft brick in another xda thread. Now back to Community ROM.
Not sure what went wrong

+1 this is about your only option.. be sure u follow directions to a tee.. the directions on his post are amazing.. dont skip a single step..and if you cant get it to work.. def go community.. its amazing! good luck
When I was first trying to go to evil fascinate, I had an issue with updated kernels. I could not run JT or OTB kernels and ran an older ED01 I had on my phone. This then let the rom complete the setup. After the Rom was setup I could switch to an OTB or JT kernel.
Not sure if this is your case, but just something I observed on my own phone.
This was on Evil Fascinate 3.3 as a note.

[Q] Bad flash?

Hey guys.
Using Samsung Galaxy S Froyo 2.2.1 I9000
Was installing CM7 today through CWM in Recovery Mode, at first it wouldn't work, threw me an error about signature verification, found it was because of 3e verification on zip files, so flashed the kernel with Odin to 2e.
After installing the kernel, ran the CM7 again and it ran fine, followed the instructions, wiped before installing CM7. The install looked like it ran fine, phone rebooted no problem, but it came back to a wiped Froyo still, didn't load CyanogenMod at all.
Anyway, there's no GMail app, and only Market, and Market wont let me add a Google account even if I say yes to the prompt. Looked round the SGS forums, didn't see anything like this.
I'm guessing I did something wrong, help someone?

I can only describe it as once I got to the step of rebooting the phone, it didn't load CyanogenMod, I was expecting the CM animation but I got my normal Froyo screen, does that make sense?
Probably a bad download. Delete the download and do it again. But just a word of advice...ROM's come with kernels, so if you flash a kernel first and then a ROM, you are going to lose the first one you flashed.
Thanks lowandbehold, one problem though.
I wiped the phone following the instructions, so I don't have ROM Manager anymore and can't open the Market, it asks me if I want to sign in with a Google account, I hit yes and nothing happens.
Ideas?
Sorry for double post, looks like I made some progress possibly.
Got the CM7 animation on boot, but doesn't go any further.
Got Clockworkmod recovery up though, flashed speedmod kernel, and CM7 initial kernel through ODIN.
Now in recovery mode when I go to install "update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip" I get an error about assert failed, error in the zip, status 7 and aborts.
Did you make a nandroid backup of the stock ROM before you flashed? If so, try to revert back to that. If you didnt make a backup, do a full wipe...wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and go into advanced and wipe the davlik cache. Then go to install zip from SD Card and select the CM7 zip. You should also check the md5 sum of the zip file to see if it matches up to make sure the download was good. You will be able to figure something out, as long as you can get into recovery and not getting crazy cache errors your phone should be 100% recoverable. Maybe even try something that is not CM7...just keep at it.
---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------
Also, standby on the kernel for now. Get CM7 up and running on the kernel it provides you with and then make a backup in CWM. Then you can try to change the kernel...if you have issues then you can just go to your CM7 backup.
Would the backup be a recovery-update.zip file in the \clockwordmod folder?

No, it's in recovery/backup on the clockword recovery screen.. personally, I like Amon Recovery a lot better than CM. Clockwork doesn't wipe the cache as well good luck! Hope you get it working

Thanks haha, went back and fixed it too. I don't have solid facts about it, but I have read in multiple threads that
1) People love Clockwork
2) People say Clockwork doesn't wipe the Dalvik cache thoroughly and sometimes causes boot loops (I've never had one)
I have had some problems with Clockwork personally. But, this is just my opinion. Also, Clockwork doesn't recognize some zips that I try to flash while Amon does. Anyway, it's all your opinion, whatever feels better to you.

[Solved] CM9 Bootloop (Android Apps Update then back to logo)

Okay I have been trying to get a CM9 rom to boot on my Atrix for about a week now. I am coming from Nottachtrix 1.3.1 on radio 37p with faux GB24 kernel. My bootloader is unlocked and I perform all necessary wipes before install. The furthest I have gotten any of the CM9 roms to boot is the screen that states Android Apps(or something) updateing. It then states starting system and boots back to the booting logo. I have tried fastboot -w. Formating data, cache, system, osh, pre install in mounts storage menu, and clearing both caches before and after install and I get the same results. This only happens with CM9 roms. I cannot get the CNA, Jokers, Turls, or Atrix tablet past the screen stated. I have tried with the latest rom racer from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500 and both recovery and touch recovery from rom manager and I get the same results. I have posted my issue in the dev section, but decided this was better as I did not want to clutter up the dev forum with my problems. Could it just be my Atrix or would the 37p radio have something to do with the bootlooping issue. Any help would be very much appreciated.
For some odd reason I decided to pull my external SD card before boot, and freaking BOOM BANG POW NO BOOTLOOP!

Did you flash twice ?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
I believe the problem is with the radio, I had this issue (on stock radio), then I upgraded to the newest CM9 Kang (0.4.4) and it went away. I then flashed the 37p radio in an attempt to fix a problem I've been having with my WiFi and bluetooth (they both don't work and cause reboots, I assume now it's a hardware problem) and the boot loop came back. I'm gonna try flashing some other radios to see if that works.
Yes flashed twice to no avail. Gonna try the 36p radio and stock to see if that fixes my issue.

No need to flash any ROM twice. Not going to discuss other than to say its not require
OP......Not your phone or radio. There is something you are doing incorrectly. Quite possibly wipe procedure. If I remember when I am at my PC in the morning I will PM you exact instructions, start to finish, for flashing one of the CM9 builds.

Trust me, the CM9 kang (not turl's version, haven't tried that) didn't work unless you flashed it twice up to version 0.4.2 (I skipped 0.4.3 and installed 0.4.4 straight without wiping and only flashed once and it worked, so it's possible they fixed the bug). I don't think anyone knows why, but it's been confirmed many times.

That is what I am hoping, but I have tried every procedure I could find within the forums. Your start to finish is gonna be my last hope.
So I followed the same steps I use for other roms and managed to get this one working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580449
Hey CaelanT any luck on getting me a step by step.

Thanks for reminding me. Will get something to you here in a few!
<edit> Check your messages!
Gonna give it a shot soon as I get off work.
EDIT:
Unfortunately that was a no go as well. Followed everything to a tee and tried different kernels. I can only get the AOKP rom to boot, but its is currently without USB storage. Does anyone know a difference in the roms that would cause my Atrix to boot on one and not the other. I can also manage to get the MIUI to boot.

I think something is going on with the kernel. You may have a bad processor. That's where my train of thought is right now. Sorry I couldn't get you up and running!

Thanks for all you help. Finally got it to boot by removing external sd card.
[EDIT] Not sure but I believe the problem I had with m external sd is I still had an ext4 primary partition on it from when I was using Webtop2SD. Copying everything over to pc now and reformating external to see if my assumption is correct.
Looks like the ext4 partition on as was the culprit.

Can't flash a working rom back to my Amaze

Hi guys. So here's my problem. I recently tried to update my phone to the latest version of NRG's Energy Rom using CWM. In the process I did a factory data wipe, and wiped the dalvik cache. I then flashed the rom as normal, but when I rebooted all I got was the white screen with the green HTC logo. It refuses to go any further. I can still get into recovery if needed, and I've tried a ton of different things, but to no avail. Anybody have any ideas as to what I need to do or is this thing hosed?
The phone is S-ON at the moment with an unlocked bootloader.
Any help is appreciated.

Flash the wipe script, flash the rom you wanted, when the phone boots up, let it sit for a few minutes, like 10 should be good.
Well I'll be damned. I could have sworn I tried that, but there we go. Thank you so much for the help.

Also, get rid of CWM and use 4ext recovery. It's in the dev section... And its the preferred recovery by most amaze users. I have a thread in Dev section
It allows you to flash kernel automatically when flashing ROM, that way you don't have to use a kernel flasher. Plus many other features.

Thanks for the info. I've been looking at recent posts and it seems I'm behind on a few things, including getting s-off.
Weird Problem
I had the same problem but I don't want to lock and re-unlock my bootloader. And this has never happened but my CWM Recovery isn't working. I didn't use 4ext bc this happened last time with that recovery. Is there any way to find the wipe script to use it from fastboot?
Tried kernel flashing; re-flashing recovery...second time this happened with s-on on speed rom
Had to re-wipe phone and re-flash everything...Got it working again! Weird problem though?!?!

[Q] Brother and Sister please HELP! :(

i was using Saurom ROM at 1st and it worked perfectly for my galaxy note i717(this was my 1st attempt to root my phone and install a new rom), and i saw a better ics rom ("Onlyone" ics rom) at rootmygalaxynote.com, i flashed the new ics rom into my phone and it stuck at the samsung logo. i tried to re-install the ics rom again and same thing happened. So, i go back to re-install my old Saurom ROM. But when the phone get into the main screen, it is extremely laggy and eventually freeze, most of the cases, the phone reboot itself. i m so scare that the phone is not able to read any rom now. and i am new to smart phone, can any Brother and Sister in this Forum can me get through this? i m so depress
Your issue is you forgot to wipe. No not that kind of wipe. LOL. Go into recovery (CWM) and do a "wipe data/factory reset". Then install the OnlyOne ROM again.

when i got the cwm recovery, the 1st thing i did was wipe all data and factory reset, and then i also wipe "cashe"<---wrong spelling probably. and then i went install the rom. anything that i have missed? is there any possible data corruption during the download of the OnlyOne ROM?
Data corruption is possible. You may have also downloaded an older version. Download the ROM again from this forum in the Dev section. There is a thread for it. Do your wipes again first. Then install it again. Let it settle before restoring anything. ROM performs well.
Hey
Just remember that when flashing onlyone rom it's sit on the samsung logo for a while its ok for fist time instal of rom as long as samsung logo is flashing ur fine good luck
