Orange UK Atrix working hacks

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.

Its a shame there isn't much for us Orange Atrix users At least I got root

The only thing I wanted is webtop. I'm very impressed by it. Can watch BBC iplayer on my TVs via flash on my phone!
Found lots more here as well but not read through it yet...

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.

No I can't confirm that but I'm not going to be the first to try!

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.

Is bootloop fix possible

sounds like if this would work or be possible that this would definitely go in the DEV section because it would help fix our bootlooping phones when they happen and it will happen to some if not many before an sbf or cwm is available. if i am wrong please move to proper place. Sorry
NO i am not bootlooping yet but was wondering if anyone was (stuck on a bootloop) maybe they could try this method below and confirm that this BP tools when boot looping does or does not work for bionic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236465
I have tried it in every mode recovery fastboot sfb bp only bp****** and BP tools
and none of them apparently let me have adb access but as soon as i reboot and go back into the phone normally i have adb again
I am sure that most of you would see the potential to get this working so we can correct mistakes when we make them and it would make modding the system a lot easier considering we could correct it if it bootlooped on us.
Please MODs with experience does this have any merit as being possible on the bionic
Thanks

Ive been bootlooping every time i reboot im tired of wiping mu phone and reseting everything.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

I have a bionic which I replaced my app folder with a non full system app dump and because of this my phone is now bootlooping. Do we have a fix for this yet?

For those that have a boot loop bionic please try the steps in the thread in first post and see if it works for you and let me know
If this can fix a bootloop then we can do a lot more changing to our phones without being afraid of it screwing something up.

I am stuck in a bootloop right now and can try this out. I haven't used adb before or the terminal but am familiar with how it works.
Which directory must I navigate to in the terminal before spewing those commands listed in the link in the thread of the OP?

I may be completely off here but if I understand bootloop correctly(the device goes to the droid screen, then the eye, then back to droid,then eye, repeat)I've ran into bootloop twice if that's what it is. The one thing that got me through this was actually to pull the battery, hold both volume buttons then power to get into the Boot Mode Selection Menu and select the first option which I believe is Normal Boot. This worked both times to go from looping on those two screens to a perfect boot. Have no idea if this will help but thought I would throw it out there.

If you're bootlooping, SBF (or FTZ? now) - problem solved. You will never find an app or whatever you are looking for that will prevent a bootloop. We root our phones and play with system files, replace frameworks, etc. That comes with the territory. If you want to avoid bootloops - don't root and stay stock.
And post questions in general. Questions do not belong in development. You just (and consequently myself) bumped an actual development thread down.

No access to bootlader; CWM only on ICS

So, to avoid bricking my device I relocked the bootloader, used the stock RUU file and upgraded to ICS.
Worked as a charm.
Installed a custom ROM, worked fine.
Installed another one, was great.
And then I changed to Dark Raider (link) and after installation completes my device goes black entirely. I can access CWM Recovery and everything but not the bootloader menu or anything else.
No matter what other ROM I try to flash, it doesnt work, and I can't get RUU going because I can't access flashboot.
Any ideas?

Which kernel did you flash? Did you do any other steps before or after installing the last ROM like factory reset, etc. Just trying to brainstorm some ideas.

I flashed the boot.img as usual that comes with the ROM, then did all the wiping they say we should on the main thread, then flashed the ROM.
What is really weird is that this is something I've done countless times before and never had any trouble. Even on ICS.

Oh and the device is still recognised by the computer, although not by the RUU file itself.
CWM Recovery works just fine but nothing else.

How are you getting to cwm? Normally you only access it through hboot. Are you doing the button combo?

When I plug it in via USB, it automatically turns the phone on into CWM.
It's just like when they had that bug on CWM Recovery that wouldn't let us charge our phones when they were off without automatically going into Recovery.

I just want a way to make the RUU file recognise the phone so I can go back to stock. Anyone?

What exactly is that developer menu?
Because I've been everywhere in Recovery and can't seem to find Reboot into Bootloader. I find Reboot Recovery alright, into the Advanced options, and several ++GO BACK++s that leads me to nowhere. I keep pressing it while on the main screen of Recovery and it just blinks the screen and that's all.

By plugging in my phone into the computer via USB. It automatically goes into CWM Recovery.
I always try to follow the most up-to-date topics but rooting HTC Vivid on ICS was a bit weird and I used a tool I randomly came across with and had never used before, some SuperToolv3 or whatever it's called.
I was trying to flash the stoc AT&T ROM via .zip but apparently I can't access my external sd card via CWM due to the sweet fact that apparently iGo created a ext_sd folder by itself, and when I try to access the external sd card it goes into iGo's useless folder.
Grand.
I can't just return my phone to HTC since I bought this phone from a friend and over here it's not sold, and I'm not going to US or anywhere soon so I'm screwed.

Can't I just install the other recovery through the one I already have? Okay, I know the answer but I really had to try.

If you cant get into hboot then we have a big issue...cant flash anything....if we could get you into fastboot menu then we could get you at least back on the ruu....what does it do when you hold power and volume down buttons

You do know how to get into hboot right?
Unplug it from the USB. Pull your battery out put it back in. Then with it still unplugged from USB press and hold the volume down button while simultaneously holding down the power button. Keep holding them both down for a couple seconds then hboot should load up.

Yes, I do know how to get into hboot.
I press both buttons and nothing happens.
The RUU file was the 1st thing i tried, but it doesn't recognise the phone since it's not on the mode it should be for using the RUU.
Grrrr. And I'm not even in a country where this phone is sold so I really can't see how I'll get this fixed.

Well, I'm not THAT noob. I know how to do most things. I've played around with this phone for a few months now and never had a problem with it.
I flashed the kernel properly and then I flashed the Dark Raider ROM the way I always do. Do you think is there any possibility that this was caused by Dark Raider?
I couldn't've done anything wrong. I never did. I wouldn't wait months of practice to finally screw anything up now.

And it's funny 'cause a guy in the other topic (I kinda think it's the ROM's fault so I posted there as well, maybe the dev has any clue) told me I should plug the phone in and try to get into hboot.
Well, I tried just for the hell of it and obviously didn't work.
Every time I plug the phone in either to a charger or a computer I'm taken straight to CWM Recovery. Like that old bug it had that we couldn't charge the phone off without going into Recovery.
I left it in Recovery but I'm not sure if it's charging, the battery wasn't that low but after all this time it probably is now, so it doesn't hurt to leave it there.

But, like, if this was a complete brick I wouldn't even be getting into Recovery, right? And the computer wouldn't be recognising it.
Isn't there a way to access the internal memory of the phone through the computer? I'd like to try one last thing but iGo created a ext_sd folder inside the phone and now when I try to access the REAL external SD i'm taken to the iGo folder.
And I only saw that now.
Or maybe a way to make the phone recognisable by the RUU .exe file?
Apparently a series of unfortunate things led me to this.

[Q] Sprint Flex stuck on Fastboot.

HI ALL,
I have successfully rooted my HTC and Samsung devices before but I am very new to LG phones.
I did root with ioroot22 (worked perfectly).
Then I attempted to install CWM with flashify app.
But in the process I flashed CWM incorrectly (I think)
When I boot phone I am just stuck in fastboot black screen.
Am I screwed? Seems like Sprint TOT or KDZ files are not available yet.
Anyone know what I can do to get phone working again. Any help is very much appreciated
Please note I can get into CWM when I press - & power but can't really do anything beyond that.

Seems you should be able to get your kdz file from LG.

Repace xxx with your 15 digit imei.
resultant page has a url about half way down. Use that and it downloads your firmware from LG.
Haven't tried but you could maybe use this installer to reflash:

Yea that didnt work, i think i damaged my my OS.
To the other poster, mrphil101, putting my IMEI didnt work on that website. Dont think LG has publicly released the kdz file yet.
Regardless, i was able to bring life back into my phone with the help of a member name, wolfgart. He was able to somehow provide me both the .tot & .dll for my sprint variant.
If you guys need any help on LG phones, he is the man.

How were you able to get in touch with him? I think he is banned from trying to sale the tot files. I would gladly buy the tot file so that we could all have it

to bad...T-mo just released their phones too. Must be a sprint things. ISP's sure can hose things up with their firmwares, all that bloatware crap and untimely updates. I have been on nexus's for a long time; firmware and bootloader locks, I had forgotten how much of a pain they make it. But that said, this is the most satisfied I have been with a stock phone.

[Q] LG G Flex D958 Recovery

Hello,
Does anyone have a clue on how we can Install a custom recovery on the G Flex D958? I've tried several solutions like Flashify and manually running commands through Terminal Emulator and once it supposed to be installed, it restart and then jump right into the launcher, and it's impossible to access to the recovery, assuming the recovery was actually never installed.

The Flex doesn't have a custom recovery yet. I would be careful on messing with your phone without it.

Developers
Where are all the LG Developers? No love for the Flex? Its a powerful device that screams feed me! I want some custom ROMs.

Theres plenty of lg dev working on it. Its just with the bootloader being locked down better than ever we are having a little trouble finding a hack or work around. Ive got an apk that will install cwm. Ive posted pics and used it. It works. I actually had to use the backup I made ,as soon as I got into cwm, today to restore due to my home button quit responding. Why? I dont know that yet but it restored perfect. Cache and dalvik wipe fine. Only issue is you can't boot to cwm from power off position. Must use apk. So its kinda pointless unless you can boot safe mode. Like I did today. We havent posted the apk or intstructions due to not finished yet and it deletes your factory recovery. So youre f*$&#d if you brick due to no factory recovery. And we dont want peep rushing in and installing then boom theyre dead and hoise burns down.
