I'm sorry if this is a completely idiotic question...but where do you find the .zip file to flash in clockworkmod recovery?? That's my only problem I'm running into while trying to flash. I'm trying to flash Cyanogenmod 10 with an unlocked bootloader.
Well if your trying to install cm10 I assume you downloaded it already. And I'm gonna go ahead and assume you somehow missed the fact the file ends in .zip...

Maybe I downloaded it to the wrong place? I put it on my computer, extracted all the files, booted my phone into clockwork recovery, wiped it, then couldnt find the zip. I really think I'm missing something vital here...
Dude you don't extract anything or use a computer.. Lmao you just download the file and that is the zip you flash.. Holy hell you made my night man lol. Your way over thinking it.. And if you were looking for a zip why would you unzip the zip? How would you even find a zip in a zip file you extracted?

See? I knew I was being stupid. So this entire time I was doing it completely wrong. Wow. You just download it to the phone then wipe and flash? I think I've got it now. Thank you

I'm guessing this is where I use Titanium Backup to save all my apps since I'm actually making progress now.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
Yeah backup all your apps and also create an update zip. You can flash that after the rom and gapps and it will reinstall all your apps by itself. Wouldn't hurt to create a nanodroid backup also.

About the backing up: Do you have to back up everything or just actual apps? Say for instance audio effects or live wallpapers.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
Don't have to. I back up everything though just to be safe. So I can restore stock without a computer.

I was running 208 ics, and wanted to jump to 217 ics with the new tool for ics only. Ran the tool with the associtated flash file and the update failed. The phone would do nothing but go into stock recovery, so like an idiot I did a factory reset. If there is way to recover the phone please let me know. Thanks.
Just fast boot back and try again.
Make sure you are using the right kernel and have it named correctly, ICSFIX.IMG iirc (though I'd check the instructions)

The program won't connect to the phone anymore. RSD will, but it fails to rewrite the OS

Just got it to connect. I replaced the IMG file with the 213 version, of which I already have the update associted with that IMG file on my SD card. Hopefully it will work.
Looks like a go at this point. Appreciate the help.
So, I just rooted about an hour ago and started reading up on Safe Strap 3 and the only flashable ROM I've seen, Batakang. Well I installed and set up SS3 and created a ROM slot, then flashed the Batakang zip and the gapps zip that went with it. The problem is once I booted into batakang none of the Google apps were there. I can't figure out the problem because I'm almost completely certain I flashed everything correctly and it was the most current gapps zip. Can anyone give me an idea what the problem might be?
I also noticed once I was on Batakang that the home soft key no longer worked at all. I could press it and it would highlight and make the vibration feedback, but it wouldn't take me to the home screen or open the app drawer like it's supposed to. Could this just be by design? or maybe just a glitch?
This is my first experience using Safe Strap so any tips for that would be appreciated as well. Thanks!
Reflash. Make sure you flash ROM and gapps and make sure its a clean wipe.

I did a factory wipe and reflashed everything but still have no gapps. Play music shows up but that's the only one. No play store, gmail, maps, or anything else. I'm confused.
What gapps did you use?

How do I do that? I kind of think I did it, but I'm new to SS3 so I'd like to be sure I'm doing it right.

It's in advanced
Currently, I've tried all from the Batakang series, Nexesque, and AOSPizza, and only Batakang Rises has worked on AT&T. What other ROMs work on AT&T? I'm also having an issue with Batakang Rises. I editted the build.prop to get rid of the nav bar and the status bar disappeared too. I was using SS3, but I'm gonna try again with Rom Manager to try to get it to work.
All the roms in this forum work on att man.. And 75% of the RAZR HD roms do with a couple file changes. Also if your unlocked just use cwm delete safestrap

I'm trying Rom Manager right now, and it won't let me flash the Gapps with the Batakang Rises, limit is 1 zip.
And how do I get all the other roms to work with AT&T? They would never pick up signal.
Yeah because that's not the actual recovery. Go into cwm's actual recovery and you can flash 1 after the other. And I haven't any signal problems.. Are your apn's correct?

How do I go into the actual recovery? I press "boot into recovery" in Rom Manager and it takes me to fast boot which is confusing. And none of the ROMs will let me change my APN settings, its always greyed out.
Is your boot loader unlocked?

CM10,
And if your in the lte zone, add this to your build.prop
Code:
ro.telephony.default_network=9

You still haven't told me how I can get the other ROMs on AT&T. I have searched, but can't find it.
The roms for the razr HD will run on it. Then you just have to fix wifi and lte.

Alright, so I finally tried to use CWM/Rom Manager to flash AOSPizza and fix LTE/Wifi, and told it to backup the current rom and wipe it, then I flashed both the rom and Gapps. Then I rebooted and it was still on stock with nothing but stock system apps and Rom Manager. I tried to restore from that backup it did. But guess what? It wiped everything and erased the backup it JUST ****ING MADE. Thanks everyone for the stock Atrix HD. At least I had separate backups with Titanium.
Good joke guys, now how do I really flash ROMs?
Now every time I turn my phone on, it says the "System is upgrading" and that it's "Starting apps...". It's really a pain in the ass to download all my apps again, with them saying they're already installed, so I have to search each one in the Play Store on my phone and install them manually. And they don't queue so I need to wait for one to finish before I tell another to download.
And, yet again, more problems. Using LMT because I hate the on-screen buttons, and the "menu" and "back" options do nothing. Meaning I can't go back a page or bring up menus.
Also according to Titanium Backup I lost my root.
Did you mount the system before flashing? No one else is having these issues.

Today I went to school, came back, and now my PC won't recognize my phone, and vice-versa. Any advice?
USB ports were screwed up, got that fixed.
Mounted /system, flashed CM10 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228597) and it sticks on the spinning boot logo. I'm an idiot. I didn't follow directions...
Alright, now I got it up and running, got LTE fixed, but I can't fix wifi because it won't let me connect to my phone over USB. It says USB debugging is enabled with the notification, but it won't show me on my PC.
So I got CM10 up and running and kept getting an error with .android.media so I powered off. When i reboot it doesn't go past the "Warning bootloader unlocked screen". I google it and find something that says to try to wipe \sdcard. I do that and now backups and rom files are gone from CWM...I think I really screwed up this time...
EDIT: I suppose my actual question is what I do now since all the files are gone
Yea wiping the sd card was a bar idea. All of your stuff is gone now. Your gonna have to flash stock with rsd. For future reference you generally only wipe data and factory reset. Also you might wanna go and read through all the information about what everything does and how it works. Because it seems like your kinda guessing and don't really know what your doing and your gonna end up bricking your phone.
Sent from my Rage MATRIX HD MAXX
Ok, I've flashed stock before. I just get the file, remove the "getvar" lines then...transfer to phone? Last time I did this my phone was actually functioning.
.. No. Go into the android development section and get a stock rom then you put your phone in fastboot mod and flash the file through rsd lite.
Sent from my Rage MATRIX HD MAXX
So I finally downloaded the file but now my computer wont install the device drivers -_- It says it failed and I'm guessing its because the phone won't boot. Since the drivers wont install it isn't picking up the device (i think). Is there anything else I can do?
EDIT: I just remembered why we have the Internet.
Yeah.. You can go to the Motorola site and get the drivers lol.
Sent from my Rage MATRIX HD MAXX
I'm assuming I need the 4.1.1 files since you can't downgrade to ICS right?
What the heck its still not being listed as a storage option to transfer files to. Unless I'm (unsurprisingly) doing something wrong again...
Dude you don't transfer files to it. Like I said earlier put the phone in ap fastboot and flash the att firmware with rsd lite.
Sent from my JokerMATRIX HD MAXX
I'm in fastboot but after that you lost me. This is the last time I mess with my phone like this.
Good man. You don't need to brick it lol. Google a program called rsd lite. Its for your computer. Plug your phone in in fastboot mode and make sure you have the drivers installed. Then rsd will find your phone and you just install the att firmware.
Sent from my JokerMATRIX HD MAXX
The firmware thing is where I'm lost at. I don't exactly know where to get it. From a stock rom on the Development section like you said? So just download the rom onto computer and flash

Do you have any idea why I got stuck at the "Bootloader Unlocked" screen in the first place? All i did was power the phone off.
How did you flash cm originally? And was it the one here for the Atrix?
Sent from my JokerMATRIX HD MAXX
There was a thread somewhere on the Atrix HD section saying to use the Motorola Photon Q's clockworkmod and a bunch of people were saying it worked fine. I did it and you helped me flash the rom using clockwork. The cyanogen I flashed is the one in the Development section with the working camera. I restored my stuff with titanium and it said to reboot. I was going to bed so I just hit Power Off and when i tried to turn it back on it got stuck at the bootloader unlock screen,
Did you make sure to wipe data and system along with the cache? And mount the system before flashing?
Sent from my JokerMATRIX HD MAXX
I don't know if I mounted the system...I just did exactly what the instructions on the post said: 0. Backup, then Format System
1. Install the ROM
2. Install my AHD Fix -- must disable zip file verification
3. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
4. Wipe Cache
5. Reboot and enjoy!
I did all of this.
Ok so here's the story. I went and backed up my current rom because I wanted to see if I could flash Batakang Rises with cwm (It did flash after I manually mounted the system) but it got stuck in a bootloop. I figured it was just a bad flash so I went and erased it and thought I would try figure it out when I got home. So I then went and formatted the phone and tried to restore my PAC backup I'd made and it said "MD5 mismatch. What the deal ? Is my stuff gone just gone ?

Did you rename the backup folder name? If you did, take out any spaces in the name and try again. You'll need another ROM to flash so you can change it.

I think I figured it out. I have the back ups installed in the external SD. Here's the thing though. I went to rom manager and its not giving me the option to have the ext SD as the primary. (I have the pro version) so im guessing that its not reading my sd. what's the deal with that?
