Hello all,
I have a major issue with my Revo. I was going through the steps MT has in the dev forum to unroot a phone. Well I did all the steps in order and got my phone unrooted, but it still has CWM on it. Once I was unrooted, I went to factory reset the device and it booted me into CWM, now I cannot get out of this screen. I just wanted to unroot my phone completely because I am getting ready to sell it. Can anyone please help me?
I searched the forums and could not find anything that would point me in the right direction. I am a novice with this stuff so any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Also, when i go to reboot from CWM if stays at the LG boot screen for about ten seconds and then takes me back into CWM.
Stuck in loop search for recovery zip file from the cubed to fix very easy

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:

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.

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 I was trying to restore back to my stock ROM backup using the boot strap recovery. There weren't any errors during the process of restoring the image but when it was time to boot the phone up it would stay in a bootloop.
I have tried factory reset with the power button and volume buttons but it'd go straight back to the loop.
I am trying really hard to understand this whole adb thing with the sdk program but I have no idea how to use it.
Can anyone please help this noob?
Return to stock - Windows.
FAQ sticky in the Bionic Development forum.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try this out when I come home from work.
Also, I reactivated my droid x until then. Will I need to go to Verizon for a new sim card for my bionic once I can start it up again?
I don't think so, but I am not sure. Have not bootlooped yet myself or had to FXZ.
I believe you may have to go for a new SIM card. The way the Verizon explained it to me when I returned my Charge was when you deactivate from a 4G to 3G only phone, that SIM is lost. However, 4G to 4G is fine.
Wouldn't hurt to try, but a good possibility you will have to.

About 2 hours after I said this, I bootlooped. Good thing this FXZ method works!!
haha yeah with all the new roms u cant help but to explore.
btw after 5 FAILED flashes I tried one more time with rsdlite and it finally worked!
It took about 20-25 minutes for the whole process to fully boot up my phone but I am very happy and thankful for the people on this forum.
The weird thing is that when it booted up... it booted up to an old restore of UNL3ASH3D. confused but im happy its fully functioning.
You won't need a new SIM card. I did an FXZ restore after I rooted my phone, unrooted it (didn't need to have it rooted because there were no ROMs and no CWM yet) and it wouldn't let me root again so I flashed to stock and it rooted just fine. You will need to flash the radio again though (or at least I did after installing DroidTh3ory's ROM because it kept showing 3G in spots I know i had 4G, worked fine after I flashed).
I cannot for the life of me get my LG Thrill 4G rooted on ics. I tried the all in one tool, but it wont recognize the phone when i plugg it in with the battery out. please help me!
I also tried megatron and super one click
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202535
Read through that. Should fix you up. Its a driver installation thing. One of the last posts should fix you right up. I had the same problem. Megatron won't work. Have to use the all in one to flash bootloaders then recovery then superuser.

Hey guys I am kind of freaking out here and just made an account because I literally have no clue what to do. I just recently was running drakeys jb and upgraded to kitkat, but realized I did not follow one of the steps and that was to make put it as my stock rom. My phone rebooted and seemed to be working with some changes to it. After I attempted to flash the stockrom theme and realized I was no longer rooted? and didn't have safestrap. Now my phone boots up, it shows the samsung note 3 screen and then the screen is just black but the phone does go into recovery mode and download mode. I really don't know what to do so some guidance or solution would be amazing. Got work in the morning so the faster the help the better.
Thank you
Just restore to mj5 then follow the instructions

There's a thread to restore to stock maybe specify what your process was that got you to this point

Can I install stock recovery and then try to take a ota to update. Will I loose root and will I loose my rom? Will I be able to reinstall a rom or will I need to reroot?
you can try, you shouldn't loose root or anything but once you have unlocked and flashed stuff I doubt stock recovery will like your system enough to take the update. try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53518227
HOW Change ...... ???
Sent from my SM-T217S using XDA Free mobile app
From my understanding, as long as /system is stock, you can install the stock recovery and then take the OTA. Afterwards, you'll need to re-root your phone. Make a backup of your current setup before you get started. Once you've taken the update and get rooted again, you can always restore your backup.

I will give it a try this weekend and let you know how it goes.
Edit does not work but thanks for helping me.
Must be the fact that I am s on. We need that s off before we can do anything as far as updating
This one is tricky. I flashed the stock rooted rom from mikmik, I then unrooted and flashed the stock recovery via fast boot. When applying the Ota, it fails because the build.prop is not stock. Comes back with an error like /system/build.prop unexpected.

I just tried it to and did the same exact thing except I had boot loops as we'll.
when I flashed back to the stock recovery to take the recent OTA, I had a reboot bootloop like every 2-3 minutes, I was ready to throw the phone against a wall, then it hit that I read recently someone else had the same issue, and mentioned a factory reset fixing the issue, yup after a factory reset, the reboot bootloop was gone, I just now rerooted and flashed a backup

yes, I was able to take the latest OTA, and no, it did not help with my signal at all, my device didn't drop calls or anything, but it has a hard time latching onto lte at times before and after the OTA.......

this might be a really stupid question (and my first post no less), but does performing a factory reset take me back to stock, unrooted form?
currently i am rooted with S-on, TWRP and Chainfire SU.
i followed a youtube video to root and im basically clueless with regards to doing anything more.
thanks in advance.

no, a factory reset will not unroot you, you need to restore a stock backup, then flash stock recovery in fastboot to unroot while s-on

Thank you. I saved a stock backup (i think) while rooting so ill see what i can do tonight. fastboot is the white background screen that uses volume buttons to select, right?

Hey everyone.
I've spent the better of the last three hour scouring the inter webs, Google, and these forums trying to find the answers to my questions - but to no avail (I've found partial answers, but I am afraid a partial answer could lead to a total brick).
Here we go:
I bought one of the first Sprint HTC One M8's through Amazon. Here are the details:
Model: 831C
Android Version 4.4.2
Software Version 1.12.651.17
Unlocked but S-On (Using TWRP)
Naturally, right out of the box I rooted it. However, I did not save the original ROM.
* I want to restore the phone to its original state so I can accept the OTA update and hopefully address the god-awful cell signal.
I've found a lot of stock recoveries online, but none that match 1.12.651.17.
Do I need to find that specific recovery to flash to my phone? Will another one work (e.g. 1.54.654.13)?
I've never worried about saving my stock recovery in the past (been rooting since the HTC Evo days) but it looks like not doing so finally caught up with me.
Thanks in advance.
PS I did find something 1.12.651.17 related here, but how to flash this to my phone (or whether or not it will brick) is beyond me. I've downloaded all 6 files and am waiting to figure out how the heck to get them to my phone.
