Flashing CWM recovery question

I have the AHD w/ 4.1.1 rooted. Other than rooting it, its stock. I haven't installed SafeStrap like everyone else and I'm going to unlock my bootloader shortly. So how should I go about flashing CWM recovery afterwards? I want to go from unlocking to flashing recovery without SafeStrap. Thanks

Easiest way is to download ROM manager and install the recovery for the photon q.

Are there any known bugs or functions not working?

Does this mean that the TWRP recovery for the Photon Q will work?
really waiting to move from safestrap to twrp.

Don't know about that. Only 1 way to find out though.

No ones forcing you to do it man. I use cwm because I know it works.

yo can you flash with the photon q cmw if so is there a special process you use?

It works like it was made for ours.

I decided to use ROM Manager and install the Photon Q cwm. Works like a charm. I did a full backup & restore of my stock rooted 4.1.1 without a hitch. Mounted /system, wiped and reset, then flashed Batakang Rises and gapps... I can't complain at all! Haven't had any FCs or anything. Battery life is much better for sure!

Thanks for the feedback.

Anytime.
You know what they say... Once you go Android, you don't go back. Flashaholic for sure.

CM10.1 install help

I can't post in the development thread yet. I am rooted and have an unlocked bootloader. I made a backup of my stock ICS rom, formatted system, and tried to install CM10.1. I can't post the exact error message because my phone is my internet, but it says something about "getprop."
I followed the instruction exactly as they said. I also tried installing when the system was, and wasn't, mounted. I get the same getprop error. If more information is needed let me know and I'll do what I can to get it. This is my first time dealing with Android custom roms and would love to get it to work.
Don't worry about using any technical terms. I'm a quick learner when it comes to things like this. Computers and other related subjects are my passion!

you have to be on jellybean before you can flash any roms.

I'll update to JB and try it again.
Edit: Here's the exact error I get. Even after updating to JB.
"installing update...
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "olympus" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "olympus"
E:Error in /external_sd/CM10.1/cm-10.1-20130211-unofficial-epinter-olympus.zip

Olympus sounds like the wrong cm download.. Did you get the one out of the Atrix HD development section on here?

Your definitely trying to install the original Atrix 4g phone version.
Here. I'm feeling nice.

The one from this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243812

That's the right thread but you got the wrong Download from somewhere else. Olympus is the Atrix 4g code name... Use my link. And don't forget to flash gapps.

You just have to mount system manually first.

Would manually mounting system remove the "Android is upgrading" on every bootup? That was the main reason I uninstalled Batakang in the first place.

It's still a rom built for a locked bootloader. So I doubt it. Try mounting data and system and tell me how it goes.

I'll wait for Blackest Pain to do it - I've already spent an unhealthy amount of time over the last few days tinkering with my phone :laugh:

[Q] I think i Fed up bad

all right i was wondering if there was a way to revert back to 4.1.1 i was trying to get to 4.2.2 and it worked but i forgot the Gapps so i tryed everything to get them to work and no go i tryed to get ClockworkMod Recovery and every tutorial out didnt work i got the bootloader unlocked and everything i thought everything was working great till i forgot the Gapps im running on 4.2.2 VANQUISH_U_BP_ Is there anything i could do or am i screwed ...?

4.1.1
I just want to go back to 4.1.1 if possible and i have my back up from safestrap if that helps

If u made a backup. . Flash it..but first if I was u.I would take a breather. Calm down. .watch some of qbking77 videos on YouTube. He spoon feed it to you. .search your phone on xda and Google.. do your research. .

Not 4.2.2

Flash stock with rsd lite and start over.
Or use fastboot to flash cwm.

[Q] how do we get 4.4 launcher working on phone?

Is there a way to get the 4.4 launcher working on the Atrix HD because I can't get it to work because of google search crashing. if anybody knows how to please let me know

Well if your running stock jb then it's not going to work man. And running 4.4 apps isn't exactly stock.
