WARNING: im a noob
sooooo... i rooted my phone and everyone says that there is an option in recovery mode to do nandroid backup and i have no option like that.
when i go into recovery it has:
1. Reboot
2. Flash update.zip
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. wipe cache partition
how do i do a nandroid backup?
Select fladh update and it will take u to clockwork mod recovery if you installed it. That is where nandroid is located. If you havent installed it get rom manager from market and install recovery from it

[Q] Urgently need help: Atrix 4G Stuck on "Dual Core" screen after flashing to CM9
My Atrix 4G was stock Gingerbread 2.3.6 on v4.5.141 - rooted and unlocked. I followed the instructions to flash CM 9- following the instructions. I used ROM Manager to make a backup of my stock 2.3.6 and the ClockWorkMod. Things did not work out after I followed the instructions.
Now my phone says, "Unlocked" at the top left and shows the Motorola logo and the dual core technology. Its not bricked- I can still access the Android Recovery menu. I even tried to return the device to default through the Android Recovery menu but that didn't work (its still stuck). I can't find the recovery files either.
Since I have unlocked 2.3.6 - I cannot flash sbf files through RSD without bricking my device. How can I return to my earlier stock configuration? Will I be able to keep root?
Thanks.
Are you saying you cannot flash your backup? Also have you tried to flash a fruitcake in recovery? Rom Manager saves to internal SD try to restore from internal and see if that fixes issue.

What is a fruitcake? I read that there is a large chance the phone
How could I flash a backup without actually accessing the application on my phone? What program would I use on my pc to gain access to the backup? I've already wiped the data and factory reset my phone through the Android Recovery menu... would this delete all I can't access my internal SD card from the standard Android Recovery menu.

You can flash your backup through the Android Recovery in the "backup & restore" option (assuming your backup was saved there)
but first via android recovery:
clear data/factory reset
clear cache
advanced>wipe dalvik cache
(that's what I like to do to ensure a clean install of the backup[if such thing exists lol])

Where can I access the backup & restore option?
I think you're talking about another menu. I can't access that menu- when I say Android Recovery, I mean the one that is actually Motorola's. To access it, I hold the power button and lower volume key down, and then find the Android system recovery menu. I get the Android guy and an exclamation point in a triangle, and then hold the up and down volume keys simultaneously. The menu shows the following options:
Android system recovery utility
>reboot system now
>apply update from sdcard
>wipe data/factory reset
>wipe cache partition

I think you have the stock recovery. You need a custom recovery to access to that menu, flash custom roms and do back ups. You can use romracers recovery which is commonly used

I think that you flashed a wrong recovery because "normal" ones have
-reboot system
-install zip from sdcard
-wide data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-backup and restore
-mounts and storage
-advanced
I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.1.8 (CWM touch recovery)
try to flash another recovery like the newest one (CWM touch recovery)

through fastboot and cmd on your pc

Is Romracers recovery used on the phone or computer? I can't use apps on my phone. How do I use Romracers? Yes, I am a noob to the glorious world of Android .

Okay, so once I flash it on to my phone, how do I actually access it on my phone?

That's a recovery so access it by holding down the power button and volume down and then on "Android Recovery" push power up. Then you will boot into the recovery, try to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, advanced> wipe dalvik cache then reinstall the CM9 rom. It will probably work this time because you have the right recovery.

Hold the power and volume down button until you see fast boot. Use volume down button to scroll down until recovery shows and then press the volume up button. Then recovery menu should up.

I'm having the same issue I used Tenfar's cwm and now I only receive the dual core screen and when I try to go into recovery I get magic value mismatch. Something tells me the phone is doomed.

Hi

I read instruction how to enter this set to recovery mode(Volume +, - and power) but it not working to me
When i press - and power the phone enter to:
Android system recovery <2e>
but i dont have install from zip file
i have only:
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
and that all
When i press + and power i have Download mode
Any idea how to enter to recovery mode to install zip files from the sd card??
Thanks
Download CWR from my signature and put it on your internal SD as update.zip. Make sure it is the only thing on your internal labeled that. Boot into recovery and scroll down to reinstall packages. Hit it. It will cycle through and come back to stock recovery. Hit reinstall packages again and it will cycle through again only this time it will go from stock (blue) to CWR (green). There you will have the option to install from SD, wipes, ....
Thanks
Your solution it is working
My Vibrant is stuck on Boot Loop and The USB port is broken making it impossible to use download mode and ODIN. Are there any suggestion to do to solve this problem?

Just tried and couldnt either, I pressed all the required buttons as well .
I got a problem whit my sgs+. It doesnt go anywheare from cwm 5.504. I tried to install CyanogenMod 9 and it actually installed but when i reboot it does the reboot and comes back to CWM. I followed thease intructions:
Installation:
Back up your apps with TitaniumBackup. Backup your SMS with SMS Backup & Restore and your call logs with Call log Backup & Restore. Export your contacts to a .vcf file.
First a special version of CWM recovery is needed, FeaMod does not work because it does not set partition sizes for CyanogenMod 9 correctly. The new recovery can restore FeaMod Recovery backups in case you want to return to one later. There are many ways how to install the recovery, choose one:
Flash CWM5504-CM9-recovery.zip inside FeaMod (boot into recovery, apply update from sdcard) or stock recovery
or use Quickflasher from broodplank:
Connect phone via USB, start sgsflasher_x86.exe, activate "Flash a new Recovery", select the recovery.img and press "Start Now".
or use Odin to flash recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ariesve.tar.md5 as One Package using the regular AriesVE.ops (Tutorial)
or flash recovery.img using the command line/adb by putting it on your sdcard and executing the commands:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
CyanogenMod9 comes as a zip that is installed inside recovery. Download cm-9-20121023-EXPERIMENTAL-ariesve-beta3.zip and put it on your sdcard.
Reboot into CWM Recovery
Perform a backup!
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache partition
Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache
Install zip from sdcard (choose cm-9-20121023-EXPERIMENTAL-ariesve-beta3.zip)
.........................................................................................
So the .zip file seesms to install but my phone doesnt open up whit cyancolen or the stock rom... In the recowery menus i can do anythin i want but i think i dont do the righy things so could someone help me?
thanks
Try clearing cache and dslvik cache in recovery and then reboot. . .

Hi, finlandpetu, I've had the same Problem, and I think you have to flash a new Bootloader. Look at this Thread. :good:
