My droid is stuck on a picture of the phone and a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle. I went on ROM Manager and downloaded CMod RC2 and when it went to reboot it to install it, that symbol popped up. Please help me! I dont know what to do.
Have you rooted your phone? Did you flash SPRecovery or ClockworkRecovery before trying to use CM6?
Sent from my Moto Droid using XDA App
Yes, I have rooted, otherwise I wouldn't be downloading RC2. I have also flashed CWMod's Recovery.
If you were flashing the new radio too, that screen is normal for about a minute. Hope you didn't pull the battery.
Um... yeah.. heh.. heh heh... I did pull the battery... But somehow my dad got it working again (he is more of a computer genius than me on some things).

SEE MY NEXT POST! I Got it, but it boot-loops.
My Friend said his Droid forgets contacts, is loosing texts & was acting up after the 2.2 software update so Verizon replaced it. But only took the battery so he still has it. I could wipe, root, n install CM6 and most likely get it running good right. I'm thinking after a radio and OS reinstall it might be ok.
Is $50 worth it. Where can I get an originally battery? And will the phone still work if I call and register it on another Verizon account?
Thanks for any help.
So worth it....ebay
OK, so I got the Droid and I have it home. I got a battery cover and battery from my friend at verizon.
So, what Recovery options are there for the Droid. I don't know anything about the droid. I've always done things on my Nexus One only. I tried holding X while booting and this is the screen I get
http://twitpic.com/2lpio0
and this Droid has an endless boot-loop. I'm not sure whats wrong atm. or what verizon may have tried to do to fix it for the customer. What should be my first move. How can I boot into the stock recovery and do a factory wipe?
Update. I've loaded SPRecovery ESE81 while following the Cyan Wiki for the Droid. I've tried a Full Wipe, and Cache wipe. It still does an endless boot-loop.. I'm not sure what my next move is from here.
I was going to keep following the Cyan Wiki for the Droid and install the rooted ESE81.update file from the Wiki. But that is 2.1 and I'm pretty sure the phone has 2.2 So the radio's wouldn't match. Or would flashing the ESE81 file from the wiki also do the radio? (if so from there I'd be rooted and can flash some CM6 like I have on my Nexus One). I'm not sure what to do next. I don't know how messed up it is, or what all Verizon did. but for now it boot-loops, and it has SPRecovery ESE81 on it.. What should I do next. What steps should I take?
Thanks for any help!
*Update - I've learned Droid doesn't have Radio mis-match problems. thats only GSM phones, so from here I should just flash the rooted ESE81 and from there flash CM6 right?
double post
Well, something messed up here. I was able to load 2.1 on the phone it booted once, seemed fine and on reboot I'm back to boot loops all over again, tried wipe and reflash. Same thing. I then flashed CM6.0-Droid and now I get the CM boot animation, but it still is having a boot loop. I'm not able to get it to boot into the system other than that one time. WTH.
idea's? oh and how do I charge the Droid without it turning on, when I plug it in, it boots. (N1 doesn't do this)
Try using RSDlite to flash ese81 while in the bootloader screen. (Bootloader - power and up on d-pad)

that is a crazy issue with Motorola. I don't know why they do like that.
my solution is ... charge the battery using external charger
i was trying to test all the 2.3.4 roms nd now my phone wont go past the white htc screen even when i restore 2.3.3 help?
If it turns on it's not bricked
Re-download a rom zip, boot to recovery, wipe everything, then flash the rom
(assuming you can still get to recovery [HOME+POWER] since it wasn't mentioned)

i can get to recovery but when it says that i sucessfully flashed the rom then i go to reboot system it just stays at the white HTC screen idk wat to do my nandroid wont even work now its doing the same thing i have no clue what i did wrong?
are you using firerat's?
wiping before restoring nandroids/flashing a new Rom?
what recovery are you using?
what rom is your nandroid?
have you tried to re-download the rom you are flashing? (the one that stays on the HTC screen)
How long is it staying on the HTC screen?
do you have adb installed?

just FYI, next time you ask for help you should post some of the answers to kyouko's questions without anyone having to ask. we can't help you as well if we don't know these things.
I put 5$ on the ROM he was flashing uses an uncapped kernel...
3 letter word; RUU.
Start from scratch and be careful what you flash before you flash it
Happy flashing buddy. Be careful!

Maybe you just need to let it sit on the HTC screen for a while longer to see if it finally starts booting up. Sometimes it can take a couple of minutes. Try not to watch it, if you can.

Got my Atrix on Friday and thought I would share the working hacks!
Root
Download Gingerbreak 1.2 APK via XDA app via your phone and run it. Root done!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Webtop over HDMI
Download zip in post below... rename old files (odex and apks in system/app) to .bak and copy new files there using root explorer. Phone will loop on force close when you rename portal.apk but just take battery out and power it back on.

So you confirm there is no way to get gingerbread on Orange Atrix for now?
I would add that CWM and gingerblur / greyblur are working for me using this:
http://briefmobile.com/atrix-4g-rom-installation-guide
Guys a little help needed please.
I have a Orange UK Atix and was on the stock rom and installed Gingerblur through Tenfars CW Mod, the problem being when it had installed and I rebooted from CWM my phone is stuck in a boot loop ( the phone wont go past the moto boot logo and has the LED notification light flashing red ).
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
All help is greatly appreciated.

Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Gingerblur is for the Atrix 4g isn't it? Is that not slightly different hardware? Ie you've probably bricked your phone. Although guy above said he flashed it so best pm him or try a reflash and wipe.
Personally I don't see the point in risking a flash for the same os with a gingerbread theme. Theres not going to be any advantage. I only put the other hacks as they are relatively risk free and you can unroot or remove the patched webtop etc if you have any issues.

Goto the stock android recovery and do a data wipe/factory reset after that take both your SD & SIM out and power it back on, you can put back the SIM & SD after its working.

yep this should fix it, but using gingerblur over orange rom is a bad idea, different framework files etc. it should work but i wouldnt recommend it, google UOT kitchen and you can make your own gingerbread theme for the orange rom as long as your rooted
How do I go to the stock android recovery?
hold vol down while turning on, then keep pressing it until it says android recovery then press vol up, then when it shows an android logo you have to tap the bottom right corner of screen a few times to get options to show up
Works great on t-mobile stock.

thanks guys.... managed to sort it....
Plugged the charger in and got into Tenfars CWM and fortunately I had made a back up prior to installing it.
Can I ask one more favour.... Has anyone made a gingerbread theme with UOT Kitchen? If so is it possible I could get a copy of it please.

I was wondering the same thing, hopefully someone has done before I for the life of me don't know how to use the kitchen very well
So this is just a question as I was browsing through the rom manager program I noticed the HTC Holiday is now listed in their devices.
As I have been researching this phone I believe the phone was referred to as the HTC Holiday
Basically my question is, Is this the device to select or is it referring to an OEM or pre release handset or is it the same as the AT&T Vivid.
I hope that made sense, if not please let me know and I will do my best to make my question more clear.

It is the same phone but I don't know that anyone has used ROM Manager with it. I never used it on any of my other phones because I found it too buggy.
This is the first I have heard of it being listed on there.

I believe it is added as of today, I personally have loved rom manager though I understand your reasons for not liking it. I just want to confirm it is comparable with the AT&T device before putting it on and flashing what ever version of clockwork recovery it has to offer.... (I bought my phone at an early upgrade price so $350 makes me quite a bit cautious with it....)
I just loaded the recovery labeled holiday and you get stuck at the HTC boot screen. Going back to the recovery from the sticky. A later update might fix it.

Its probably obvious but your best bet would be to either get a friends phone to charge your battery or buy an external battery charger....
It's working for me
I have the Vivid and downloaded Rom Manager on a whim. Saw the Holiday, selected it. Tried to backup the Att rom, failed - needed cwm installed. Chose option to let RM flash CWM. The version it put on caused RM to puke when attempting to backup. Flashed CWM v5.0.2.7 from PC. Rebooted and mysteriously lost root. Had to pull the battery a few times during all this.
Rerooted using HTCSupertool, and RM has worked just fine since.
So some flakes, but when ironed out seems OK.
I did a nand backup and a restore just to be sure I could get back and both operations completed without error.
Waiting to get full charge on the phone then will flash first custom rom.

I have a bionic that i system updated to 5.9.902 a couple days after i got it. Then i made the mistake of coming here and messing up my phone because i have no idea what I'm doing
I installed safestrap and did the whole noob step by step guide. Installed eclipse and a couple other roms. For some reason i wiped my internal and external storage. I have no backups of anything.
I've tried releasedroot, petes, rds lite with the 902 xml. I got stuck all the time with what seemed to be a driver issue.
I just want to return this thing to stock and stop messing with it
As of now when I press power i go straight to ap fast boot flash failure screen. I press power to power off and hold vol up and down to boot into recovery but just pick the normal boot option. Phone then boots into what seems to be my stock 902. I dont know if im rooted anymore.
If i could rid my phone of this flash failure and safestrap, i would be stupid happy
Anyone out there willing to help a total noob? If any more info is needed I'd be happy to provide

What error did you receive using rsdlite?
When you go into your phone settings..can you verify your on 902?
I'm at work now but it was some sort of usb failure. It got stuck on 1/22 mbm something.
Yes as of right now im on 902.
Is there a tutorial on how to completely remove usb drivers? Even though rsdlite says I'm connected, I don't see my phone drivers in device manager. That's where I think I'm going wrong but not really sure.
