Is there a proper way to install roms? Okay let me refrase that... I dont think ive flash twrp correctly because whenever i install a custom rom it doesnt boot. Ive wiped and full wipe before flashing and even tried flashing from internal sd to ext sd with no avail.*
I flashed twrp through Flashify.
I'm so excited we have root now! Im so thankful for you guys that put your time and effort for us!
Thanks devs!
Edit: just a bad download

Lol i do know how. I'm going to reflash the recovery and see if that hwlps
Sent from my LG-H811 using XDA Free mobile app
not sure how you tried to install TWRP, but make sure you hit "recovery image" to flash TWRP and not "boot image" on flashify.
hope this helps.
I reflashed the recovery and the same result...
I tried flashing the same custom ROM twice in a row and went back to the main menu of the recovery then power off. i turned it back on and it booted into the ROM.
so i tried a different ROM the same way and its not working again...
I have no idea whats going on here. this is so weird
looks like the stock rooted rom is the only one the flashes flawlessly
Redownload the twrp file and flash it through flashify also are you just flashing the ROM and not doing wipes

Did you check md5 of the rom that keeps failing? Sounds like a bad download.
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
it might help if you outlined exactly what you are doing, step by step
also what rom are you flashing?

I flashed it, but now I am unable to boot into recovery. It takes me to the bootloader instead.
The only way I can get back into recovery is to flash and older version of CWM. Is anyone else having this issue?
Same problem here, with i9020.
i've a german nexus s (.23) it works very well!

I have the same proble. I have to flash back to CWM 3.0.0.0 to able to go to recovery mode. I'm not sure whether it's becuase I rooted my wiht this methode "Root & custom recovery WITHOUT oem unlock & wipe ".
Any suggestion? Or just stay with CMW 3.0.0.0?
You can try this one. In the same forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686

It also killed my recovery.
This killed my recovery too. I did as Suprakarma suggested and all is well.
From within RomManager, run the fix permissions script.
(This had a problem on my device, it appears it doesn't like the BusyBox that Titanium Backup installed, so I had to install a new copy from the market).
Once that script's finished, reboot, then reinstall recovery from Rom Manager. Boot into recovery.
Hope that helps.

I keep having to flash my backup because every time I flash a script or have to force reboot my phone, when the phone boots everything force closes and the phone is totally unusable. Any help on how to solve this would be very much appreciated :thumbup::thumbup::banghead:

I've tried that mate. I've deleted all backups and done fresh installs of a few different roms, but to no avail. It's got to the point that I have to keep updating my backups because the phone becomes unusable so often

If nothing helps then you can try this as the last option. You can reflash your firmware via Odin then custom recovery after rooting your phone and finally the custom rom you are using.

How exactly you perform clean install? And what scripts you flash?
Try going back to a stock ROM release, then flash CWM via ODIN and from there, a rom of your choice

I flashed SlaidyBoostV2.3, it made my phone completely unusable. I flashed the Beats script too, and that had the same effect.
I perform a clean install by wiping data and cache/dalvik. Then I flash the rom and repeat the wiping process. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm having trouble getting the stock firmware for my phone. It says the firmware is for SIM unlocked phones, and my phone is locked to one network. Looks like I'm gonna have to get my phone unlocked. I'll do this as a last resort if I can't find a solution.

With the new boot loader unlock it comes time to use a recovery other than safe strap. The easiest way to flash a custom recovery, in this case, clockwordmod recovery, is to simply download ROM Manager and use it to flash the Motorola Photon Q version of CWM Recovery. I flashed it and booted into it and haven't experienced any problems as of yet so for those looking for a custom recovery straight out of the gate, this is for you.

If you really want to give it a spin you can always flash the Photon Q version otherwise I'm sure there will be an official version ported soon

So far, i have installed the cwm for the photon q like you, and made a back up through it. Im going to see if it will restore from it as well. ill keep everyone updated.:good:
:edit: I sucessfully backed up my stock JB rom, wiped everything, and restored everything back and everythings perfect... I dont know what else to try before attempting to flash using the photon CWM. any ideas?
I uses the photon q recovery to backup & restore, and haven't had any issues yet. No ROM flashing for the time being, just haven't tried it yet.

Did you try to go back into CWM and wipe everything again after the boot loops? That sometimes helps when it is boot looping after an install.

I'm Stock Again, Restart always sent me to fastboot with a failed flash error, I could back out of it to the pizza ROM each time however I don't want to depend on my phone booting incorrectly so I used RSD and I'm stock again, I'm going to give it another try tonight.
UPDATE...Reflashed everything started over and everything works PERFECT Yippie!!! I'm very pleased!!!!

So what was your full procedure? I want to try this and try to install CM10 later.
From what I read, you installed the Photon Q CWM, installed Pizza through that, got boot loops, flashed back to stock, then installed Pizza again?

Fastboot was kicking errors and was boot looping into fastboot with firmware flash fail, I found however I could start into AOSPizza in DB mode (Safe Mode) , so I did that, charged up the phone 100% then used RSDLite and Reflashed Stock current firmware, it however does not re-lock the bootloader as some have mentioned might be the case in other post's, from there I started up the phone,turned on usb debug, used "motochopper" to root it, then installed Rom Manager from the market, flashed clockwork to device with the Photo Q CWM , copied AOSPixxaV1.zip ( The ROM ) and GappizzaV1.zip to the Phones internal storage not on the external SD memory card, from there went to clockwork mod on my atrix opened up the program and selected to reboot into recovery, went to the mounts and storage then select Mount System then go back then install zip from sd card then choose zip from sd card, then scroll to your rom and select it and it will flash when its complete you will go back and go to reboot system now, it will ask you if you want to bypass stock recovery on boot select it and your phone will reboot into AOSPizza......Have Fun!
Could use some advice here guys. I'm stuck in bootloop from simply backing up my system. It seems anything I do in twrp other than doing a reflash of the Rom and gapps is bootlooping me. Again I can flash fresh and start over but I can't do anything else in twrp without a loop. I even tried restoring the phone to the backup that I made just before the loop

From bootloader, enter the following fastboot command:

See if that helps.

Was the phone rooted before?
Also after you flash in ODIN is the phone rebooting to recovery?
If the flash is successful your phone should reboot right back into recovery. If it is not doing that then you are flashing the wrong file. In ODIN you need to use the .tar file, but the img file.
Also if you are downloading it from the TWRP website you need to extract the file from the zip. Do not flash the zip. The tar file is inside the zip.

After an ODIN flash of TWRP the phone should reboot to TWRP not to the firmware/rom.
You must have a bad download somewhere or you are using the wrong file.
The only other reason would be a locked bootloader, but the 910T comes unlocked.
Uncheck auto-reboot in odin, then pull the battery and boot into recovery after flashing.
