I rooted and unlocked my bootloader. I then decided to try some new ROMs. I installed PAC and used it for a lil while. I then downloaded another. Did the install. It said Install Complete. But when I rebooted, PAC was still there. Figured I accidentally installed the same one again, so I went to the SDCARD and deleted it. Then tried again. No change.
Yes I formatted Cache and did factory reset. No change.
What am I missin?
Phone is Moto Atrix HD
Did you mount the system on the new install? Or did you install aokp? Because it looks pretty similar.

Mount the system? Please explain.. Please!
Go to mounts and mount system from within cwm.

Did I miss something?
Did you wipe data factory reset then mount then flash?

What rom are you trying?
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
first tried the CleanRom then tried AOKP 4.2.2. Loop on both
i had a similar issue trying to go from pac man to AOKP i ended up flashing stock with rsd and re rooted and flashed AOKP rom but you may not have to do that.
Well did you flash the stock kernel before trying to flash clean rom like the instructions say to do?
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
No I didn't. Obviously I don't read directions very well. So no I didn't.. Is there a way to just go back to stock and start all over again? What is RSD?

your problem was you flashed a rom over another without wiping anything it doesnt work like that my man.
Nothing against you but if you can't follow easy instructions on how to do things on your phone then that's how you brick your phone.

So i tried to give my atrix HD more internal memory by swapping them but when i did the process it didn't work 100% but i had progress.. after that i returned every thing back to the original state before i started.. when i inserted my sd card back in my phone and i went to my system settings and when i click on storage it says settings is not responding... but with the SD card removed i can go into storage and see all my internal data.. can someone show me the way to getting my SD card back at the least and maybe even helping me switch my member slots.. thanks in advance

Every time I reboot, I get the "android is upgrading" screen.
I am rooted and BL unlocked. This started after I tried --and failed, see below -- to flash Batakang Rises.
Is my Dalvik-cache being cleared somehow? Doesn't that do this?
I have tried a factory reset. I can't reflash my rom, since zips I flash don't seem to stick. (I posted about that earlier and got no responses.)
Not that big of a deal, but just quite annoying and time-consuming.
Same problem
I'm getting the same problem, although it doesn't affect anything, it just bothers me a lot.
On the development forum it is already on the "known bugs" list, so it must be a common problem.
I've tried all the common fixes but its still there. I LOVE the Batakang Rises rom, but this really annoying, and I may try out the PACman rom.
Its just built into the rom since the rom was meant for locked bootloaders.

So if we had a rooted phone, but locked boot loader, we wouldn't get this message during every start up? Sorry if this is a noob question

No idea because if you had a locked boot loader and tried to flash any of the roms for this phone (4.2.2 ones anyways) you'd probably brick your phone.
Anyways I'd definitely recommended PAC. I've tried all the major roms here and I like it the best. There is a battery drain on all 4.2.2 roms bit it seems a little higher on pac (might be fixed with the newesy build). There is a fix for it (more of a battery boost actually) in the dev section.

Just a thought but I have learned that when changing ROMs its best to manually WIPE system, data, cache. Don't know why but it seems to help. Especially when flashing back to stock.

lol glade to hear it.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
So I have tried installing this rom, but I've failed many many times. I'm not sure what the problem is, but if you've already successfully installed PACman rom, please tell me your exact steps (I'm a noob)! In the mean time, here are my steps:
1. Startup Safestrap Recovery
2. Create ROM Slot: rom-slot1 (system partition size: 1024 MB, data partition size: 1 GB, cache partition size)
3. factory reset, wipe system, format data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache
4. Flash PACman rom (mb886_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v22.4.0_20130607-003508.zip) via SD card
5. Flash gapps (gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip) via SD card
6. Flash Paranoid fix (I've done this step and skipped this step)
7. Wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache
^ So this doesn't work :crying:and I really want to try out this rom
... Wow no one reads ever. Do... Not... Use... Safestrap.. With.. Newer.. Roms.. It will not work. This has been posted countless times. Even says so in the Safestrap title.

Not officially but we have our own version you have to fastboot.

We do. Not everyone needs or wants to be unlocked for whatever reason. Is it annoying answering these questions? Yes. This, IMHO, is a problem from people used to crack flashing and not bothering to read OPs, guides, faqs, or even use the search bar.
