Hello,
I've rooted my atrix today using rootzwiki without any problems and there was a boot loader unlock tutorial, my device is 2.3.4 4.5.91 at&t but unfortunately I used .sbf for international users and not for at&t..ending up with "no os" no boot/recovery so tried to flash "1FF-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011.sbf" (mistake?) with no success, then flash "4547-fix-try2.sbf" for at&t but no success.
Don't know what to do Plz help me
Download fastboot here:

Download a ROM such as
CM7 Based ROM (Neutrino ROM)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567241
Have the ZIP file ready
Extract contents of the fastboot zip in the c drive root in a folder called "fastboot" without the quotes
Install the Motorola Drivers, included in the fastboot folder I provided
Next, download a recovery, such as romracer's recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
(Rename img file to recovery.img)
And put the recovery.img file in the fastboot folder
Open a command window (Start > Run > CMD OR Start > type 'Command Prompt'), type "cd\fastboot" without the quotes > Press enter
Next power on phone, in fastboot mode (hold power button and volume down and press volume down to look for fastboot, volume up to select it), plug it in
Go to your command window and type
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img” without the quotes
Once that is done, do
"fastboot reboot" without the quotes
Once the phone is at the Motorola logo, power it off.
Power it back on and go into Android Recovery (hold power button and volume down and press volume down to look for Android Recovery, volume up to select it), plug it in
(recovery navigation is volume up/down is up and down, select is power button)
From here, go to mount and storage and mount USB and dump the rom zip in the root and go back on the phone and factory reset, wipe cache and install zip from SD card. Find the zip file and install it. Once that’s done reboot and your phone should boot up in the ROM of your choice.

You did not unlock your boot loader, download this if you have an at&t atrix
http://diamantephoto.com/pudding.rar
or if its an international atrix
http://diamantephoto.com/IHOP_Bell.rar
download the sbf and flash using rsdlite and retry my steps again
OK OK
Once you enter that line, if you don't get an error make sure the command prompt says "C:\path\to\fastboot\ > __" confirming that you are working in the right directory. Now type 'fastboot oem unlock' (fastboot tells command prompt to work with fastboot.exe and oem unlock is a command within the program). It will reply a warning about breaking warranty, etc., and also a lengthy ID for your phone.
Now type 'fastboot oem unlock ####' where #### is your ID. And finally 'fastboot reboot'. Your phone will obviously restart and you can close out of the command prompt.
When turning on your phone will say! "Unlocked" on the Motorola boot screen, jump up and down in joy!!!

Hey there!
so, I just upgraded my z5c from MM CyanogenMod to this nougat ROM > [ROM][7.0][Stock][.33][3.7 b7][Deodex][DeBloat][Font][Stereo][Vulkan™] Xperia Loop™
Before the update I could enter TWRP without any problems.
Now, everytime I try to boot into recovery the phone simply reboots...
Things I've tried:
• Typed "adb reboot recovery" on CM
• Downloaded TWRP App to re-flash and click on "recovery reboot"
• Power up phone holding Volume Down
The phone is rooted with SuperSU.
The main reason I wanted to regain access to recovery is to re-root the phone with Magisk.
Thanks for your time.
1. install fastboot and fastboot drivers on your pc (if you don't have them obviously)
2. plug the phone into the pc using the usb cable while holding the volume + button (this way you will skip the adb part)
3. wait for the notification light to go blue
4. go into the fastboot directory
5. download the twrp "recovery.img" file and put it into the fastboot directory
6. hold shift while right-clicking into the directory where fastboot is
7. use the option to open a cmd into the directory
8. type in "fastboot boot recovery.img"
if your phone's fastboot drivers don't have signature (like it happened to me) download Zadig and create a signature for the driver
Hope this helps... i had the same problem and solved by doing this
Hello everybody
I have already unlocked the bootloader on my Honor 9. That worked. But what does not work is the installation of the current TWRP. I go directly after the instructions and have inserted the Recover.img in the ADB folder and open the execution command with Shift and right mouse button. But under Windows 10 x64 bit the following error occurs after entering "adb reboot bootloader" or "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
"fastboot: The name" fastboot "was not used as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
recognized executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if the path is correct (provided
contain) and repeat the process.

I did it exactly according to the instructions:
2.) Download “adb-fastboot-tool-2016.zip” unzip it Download TWRP recovery.
3.) Rename TWRP recovery IMG file “twrp-3.1.1-0-stf.img” to “recovery.img” and copy to adb-fastboot-tool-2016 Folder.
4.) Open cmd windows in adb-fastboot-tool-2016 folder by Shift + Mouse Right click.
adb fastboot cmd - Install TWRP 3.1.1 Recovery and Root Honor 9 EMUI 5.1
5.) Connect your phone to PC.
6.) Now paste this command on command window and hit enter to reboot your phone into bootloader (FASTBOOT) mode.
adb reboot bootloader
7.) Flash TWRP recovery by this command.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8.) Reboot the device.
fastboot reboot
It just does not work. Can someone help me ?
P.S.
It is only Windows PowerShell in blue. No black input request
Thank you
I suggest you to try with a windows 7 PC
