Got notification to update to the latest CM, clicked ok on everything, phone rebooted, now stuck on boot screen.
Can enter CWM but nothing functions, cannot choose update from SD or anything.
Please help..
(Did search, probably not good enough, but nothing came up. Am also new to the Rom Manager thing. Please don't flame if this is answered somewhere already..)
Did you make a nandroid backup? I always make one 'just in case' before I update.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Am not sure I did; I think it asked me if I wanted to back up the current rom and I think I clicked not to. Either way, I cannot do anything in CWM, what ever I choose gets stuck at the little hat with the arrow and I have to pull the battery.
It's not a big deal (I hope at least) to revert back to an original image, as it's my back-up phone so I don't use it daily. Hope it's easier than that though..
I would say reverting back to an original image via the passimg trick would be your best option right now (unless your bootloader is unlocked?)

It is unlocked. Any magic trick..?!
EDIT: I can enter the options in CWM. Being used of the Atrix I was pressing the on/off button instead of the trackball to choose. Ffs.. Anyway, I tried wiping the data, no go; still stuck on bootscreen
I would try restoring a backup if you have one. If not, just do a wipe and clean install...
Unlocked bootloader could've been used to install a new recovery, though that now looks it was operator error... xD

After a bit of trial & error..fixed!! Dude, it's the 2nd time you've helped me, you should have a donation button. Now I can't buy you a beer..
THANKS!!!!
You're welcome!
I have all the beer I need, but thanks for the offer!! xD
I have kind of the same issue but I am still stuck..
I have an unlocked bootloader and rooted atrix, everything was fine until I installed gingerblur through the cwm ( I chose to install from the sd card ), once I did that it finished what it was doing then I used the reboot feature through cwm. My phone is now not moving past the motorola dual core screen. It still says unlocked at the top left and I can still enter cwm and fastboot. I have read alot about trying to flash through fastboot, but I am sorry I am a newb and do not know how to flash through fastboot. I am desperate for help... any help would greatly be appreciated.
If you can still access recovery, I would try a full wipe and instal again...
Thank you for your response... I did as you said and wiped everything... found a .zip file for android 2.3.4 gingerbread and installed that through cwm. I now have a new question... what is the best way to create a nandroid backup?? I went in android recovery mode on the boot screen and proceeded to backup through the menus and saved it to my external sd card... the only problem is that when I tried to restore back to the backup I made before it kept giving errors while trying to install the backup file. Any ideas how I can successfully create a android backup on this ATRIX 4g??

You can start by going to the atrix forum and not the nexus one.
Sorry... just downloaded xda app and new to it.

when i opened rom manager and choose the rom i wanted to install it asked if i wanted to wipe and backup or something but i know i check both. then i install the zip in the recovery boot menu and rebooted and no luck. then i tried another rom and wiped before installing and still no luck.
At the very top of rom manager, you must flash 2.5.0.1 recovery. Did you do this first?

So you flashed the clockworkmod recovery, booted into recovery and made a nandroid of your stock rom. Then, what rom were trying to flash?

This exact same thing happened to me. What I did to fix it was pull the battery, then wipe everything (dalvik, data, cache), and then rebooted. My phone was able to boot then.
I'm having the same problem with rom manager. I just rooted my desire using the unrevoked method, then ran rom manager. I did install the recovery mode first, then backed up the rom. How my desire is just rebooting to the htc screen. How do I get out of this?
Many thanks,
Joe
dumb question, but how did you wipe everything?

Hey, that's exactly the same issuing I'm experiencing now. Did you solve it? And if yes, how?
Well, a few hours later I solved it by restoring a backup and then booting went well. Also described in a thread on androidforums dot com (I can't enter the link here due to not having posted enough messages) .

I don't know if this helps, but I'm pretty sure nandroids are specific to which recovery they were created with, I read that somewhere a few days ago. If you did not have clockwork before, I would try getting the recovery you used to make the nand, install that recovery and then restore the nand. Then try the whole wipe everything and get clockwork and go to town. If you haven't tried RA/Darch 1.7 recovery, I would recommend it, I personally like it better than clockwork, it seems faster, and simpler to use.
Exactly What "Il Duce" Said Will Fix Your Problem, Same Exact Thing Happened To Me, What I Did Was Go Back To Previous Version Of Rom Manager Then Flash Alternate Recovery, AND Regular Clockwork Recovery, Should Be Good After That!

Intro
Hi guys, I just got my Galaxy Ace from my mom a month ago(She used it for a couple of months but was too "complex" for her that's why she just gave it to me). Anyway, I'm the type of person who wants to explore and unlock the full potential of things. The first thing I did when I received the phone was research about stuff like how to modify it, etc. I was able to successfully root(there's a "super user" icon in the menu) it. Today, I thought it'd be nice to add some metro ui theme on it. So I I downloaded 7 launcher from the play store. But, was not satisfied because it felt like it was only a "skin" and didn't changed the overall feeling of the phone. That's the time I started digging dipper into the realm of Android and came across this thing called "ROM"....
I followed an online guide on how to install roms. First, i downloaded the rom i wanted(it's called "WP7") and placed it at the root of my sd card. Just like what the tutorial suggested(in case something goes wrong), I made a "nandroid" with the use of Clock Work Mod. I then saved a copy of the nandroid into my computer just to be EXTRA safe. Everything seems to be in order so I proceeded with the operation. I accessed the recovery menu, and selected "wipe cache partition" and "wipe data/factory reset". After that, I went to "install zip from sd card" and selected the zip file. Everything went well. After the update, I rebooted the phone and it was successful.
The Problem
I checked the whole new ui design and it was what I expected it to be. But then, I immediately missed the old ui, so i decided to go back to the stock os/kernel/(whatever you guys call it ). I went to the recovery menu and selected "backup and restore". I chose the nandroid I just made through CWM. After loading, I rebooted my phone and bam... this is where my problem is. The Phone's name and model number appears in the screen but it's not loading. I waited for 2 minutes and nothing happened. So I restarted the phone by holding the power button and volume up. I accessed the recovery menu again and examined if I missed a step. After browsing the net, I concluded that I didn't wipe the cache and data before restoring . So I wiped both cache partition and data. I selected the nandroid and then rebooted the phone again. But, the boot loop is still there . I tried it again and again. Wiping, Restoring Rebooting. But the boot loop won't go away.
So I wiped it again but this time, I didn't select the nandroid and instead I went back to the new WP7 rom i just downloaded. My phone didn't do a boot loop and my phone is okay now. I'm stuck with my new rom for about an hour now. I'm starting to get used to it. Anyway, even though things are stable now and i'm on my new rom, I think it's still nice to go back to the phone's original kernel/os . Any ideas on how I can restore back my phone to the original/stock kernel/os without experiencing the boot loop? Or can you give me the causes why I'm experiencing the boot loop? My guess is, I think there's a problem with the nandroid I used. The wp7 rom doesn't experience any boot loop but when it comes to my nandroid, there's a boot loop.
Thanks in advance and sorry if it's too long to read. I just wanted it to be accurate and clear for you guys .
The only way would be flashing through Odin.

Search for your previous ROM around and flash it.
Here's a good TUTORIAL on how to flash ROMs
The only way to flash a stock rom is odin (its a pc program) .
after you flash back to stock, you should Be able to restore your nandroid backup without getting the bootloop
(at least, i'm pretty sure, can someone confirm this?)
Im sure ull find a guide on how to use odin somewhere on xda.

Hey guys. I came across a rom called stocklite and I was able to successfully install it. My new rom seems to speed up my phone and prolong its battery life. All of the bloatware that came with the stock os isn't present this rom. I don't think i'll be returning to the original stock os. So yeah, I appreciate all your help and cheers to everyone

I know you're happy with your current ROM but just an FYI, I went through a similar process trying to unlock a T-Mo Samsung Dart T499 (similar to Mini/Galaxy Ace). I just flashed stock ROM via ODIN and it boot looped on me. After reading this post I went into stock recovery and clear cache partition and factory reset and voila!
So this post actually inspired me a bit! Haha! Thanks!
as already said, the batter way to solve that problem is clean up your device is flash a stock rom with Odin,
but then, you will need remake root, and install a CWM....
good Luck !!
I inadvertently formatted my Sprint HTC One (ver. 1.29.651.6) with TRWP, now the phone is useless. There is no RUU for this version yet, please tell me there is something I can do restore the factory ROM or at least be able to copy my TWRP backup files to the now inaccessible internal storage.
Try sideloading a rom via twrp

Same here, I am usually good at doing these procedures... but last night, after loading the recovery (and followed directions from XDA and youtube video exactly), the internal storage was inaccessible from twrp, even though I saved the superuser zip in the download area, it could not be reached by the twrp file browser. In my desperate attempt to fix this, I followed another members poor advice and ended up essentially wiping the phone....
Now, I can boot into fastboot and twrp.... but it does not get past the white HTC start up screen and is stuck there.
If anyone can share a link to the best method to fix this issues, I appreciate it! Whether sideloading a rom, or restoring factory stock, please help!. Thank you.
The following does not work?
It seems that you have to fastboot oem lock first.

Feeling very happy with my phone now that it has been fixed.. much thanks to your advice, I was able to look at the posts and video and recovered my device to re-lock, loaded stock RUU, then went right back to unlocking, installing recovery and rom (CM 10.1). 2nd time around worked as predicted.
It took a few nervous moments, but was well worth the effort now that the phone is essentially a nexus 5 like device for me. I will not miss Sense or blinkfeed at all. Never really used Zoe and camera software features.. Could those be installed separately as an additional camera app besides the standard CM supplied version?

I also wiped everything on my phone and formatted the internal sd card with TWRP. I wanted a fresh start and thought I could just mount the internal sd card thru recovery and transfer my rom.zip off my laptop. Very BIG mistake, as I was unaware that TWRP does not mount/format properly! The above quote by Ms. Pinks was the first method that I tried, but did not work because TWRP rendered my internal memory useless.......phone would no longer recognize it. After several hours of failed attempts I just gave up for the night. In the morning, I did some reading on Clockwork Mod Recovery on other forums and it got alot of positive reviews........mounts/formats/wipes partitions properly! It just does'nt have some of the bells and whistles that TWRP does. I proceeded to flash it thru fastboot using the fastboot flash recovery cwm.image command. Once flashed, I was able to boot into recovery and reformat my internal sd card properly! After that, I used adb to push my rom.zip to the card and flashed away! I have tried all the functions in CWM and it works beautifully! (I love TWRP, but there are to many bugs in it's current state.....for this phone at least) Gonna be using CWM from now on. Hope my experience can help some other user's who screwed up too.
Need serious help.
I flashed dirty unicorns and data and sms wasn't working so I tried to restore my phone but TWRP didn't see anything to restore. So desperately, i saw that it still saw my ViperRom zip so i flashed that and now I'm stuck in the splash screen. I tried to get the phone back to recovery with the toolkit and it doesn't see my phone.

I just tried the button combo light trick and was able to enter recovery. but alas I am at a loss what to do now. I still can't see my backups. I'm now doing a standard wipe and reinstalling ViperRom. Please God let this work.
update: Phone is alive.......but, i'm stuck on EVDO and Goomanager doesn't seem to see any of my original stuff. I'm aware this is the 4.2.2 thing but I am not really educated on how to deal with that.

Thanks. Only one question though. I just finished copying my restore from the 0 folder and pasted it, now TWRP can see it and is finally willing to restore. Will the restore solve this issue just as easily or is it that as soon as you flash a 4.2.2 is your system forever changed without this fix? I only ask because I don't want to flash that zip and create a new issue if the restore will quite literally send me back in time to before I even flashed 4.2.2.

I have been rooted and using CM 10 for a few days now. Wanted to try a new ROM, so made a nandroid backup, wiped data/cache/system all that good stuff, flashed the zip.
Then my phone rebooted into the bootloaded... and nothing. Tried to select Recovery, had a screen say Entering Recovery, and then was back to the bootloader.
Hooked my One up to the computer, thinking I somehow lost CWM. Used Fastboot to flash CWM, and it showed a success, but I still cannot get into CWM to restore any backup.
I really don't want to use a RUU, is there any fix for this?
Thanks a million for any help.
EDIT: I still do show as being Unlocked.

Was the ROM you tried from the international forum? If so you may have flashed a non compatible ROM, or chosen wrong phone model in aroma. In that case the only solution would be http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2460013
