my atrix is left in a boot loop with any rom from JB

hey guys my atrix hd stays in a loop in the bootanimation when I try to mount any rom from JB, I only work one ICS based roms, that problem will have, which peudo do to enjoy a superior version.
my atrix initially came with version 4.1.1 of at & t but I did release the bootloader and downgrade the Motorola Atrix HD Utility tool, JB to ICS 7.7.1Q-144_MB886_MR1-22_SIGNED_CFC from there or I could not upload any cooked rom Basda in JB with rom manager

You are sure you unlocked the bootloader? Are you using a custom recovery like cwm?

I have already used rsd lite to flash the stock version:
-->Mexican (MB886_niimx-user-4.1.2-9.8.2Q-50_MB886_NII_TA-2-16-release-keys-NII-MX.xml)
--->at&t (MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA.xml)
but at the end of the process is also a loop at bootanimation. so with the MhyTools,
The only tool has worked for me is the Motorola_Atrix_HD_Utility which leaves me the device in the ICS version of at&t (7.7.1Q-144_MB886_MR1-22_SIGNED_CFC.xml) is functional except for proximity sensors and lighting.

anything, download the update via OTA, but when the installation is restarted on M logo, as if the install with rsd lite and mhytools com. not pass the M stays in a loop and restarts.
rsd lite but could mount the ICS rom version of at & t (7.7.1Q-144_MB886_MR1-22_SIGNED_CFC.xml) which starts and runs if I do not understand well because I can not install or upgrade JB stock or cooked rom

someone with a possible solution?, I flash a rom from JB or kikat
either stock or cooked

Can you install a different recovery, CWM or Phils and try a factory reset, then install new rom from recovery.
When doing rsd lite do you edit the xml, it may cause some issue.

I know the solution, but I can't explain why:
First, you need to flash the full MEXICAN RETAIL FIRMWARE, then, just flash the custom recovery of your preference, flash any JB ROM, and thats all...
The Mexican Retail firmware has some kind of boot or something, I don't know exactly which files are, that are the same as the RAZR HD, which all the ATRIX HD ROMs are based of... just try it.
I attached the custom XML file for the mexican firmware, replace that and after the flashing, install your custom recovery and try a ROM, you can reboot safelly and without problems, I know there a short solution, you don't have to flash the entire firmware, but I don't know which files are the essential ones... See ya

[solved] No service with Paranoid Android 4.1 ROM: Help please

I installed Paranoid Android rom coming from JB with cocore 9.0. I followed the instructions (installing boot.img then the rom, gapps and supersu). Everything went smooth but I ended up with "no service". Apparently my sim card is not recognized. I use an italian SIM (TIM).
Any suggestion?
I had to revert back to my (nandroid backupped) old rom.
Sincerely

Done, before and after installing the rom. Same result.
I also tried revierting back to my old rom (re-flashed with odin) and reistalling PA from the beginning. Same result.
I forgot to mention my device is a GT-I9070P. I thought it was the same as I9070 apart from the NFC (which I do not care about). Is this correct?
Any other suggestion?
Thanks

Can you make sure that you re-install the firmware (stock ROM) Firmware GT-i9070P with similar, I mean with the Stock ROM GT-i9070p not GT-I9070 Stock ROM? Due to my knowledge although one brand, but both devices have different firmware (specially Stock ROM). As an example here.

You deserve the biggest possible thanks!!!
Indeed, I substituted the "tee" folder in paranoid android rom with the tee folder I found under my own I9070P JB rom (/system/lib/tee) and restarted from the beginning. This time everything went smooth and I have my network.
For those interested, I was using a samsung original I9070P JB rom, so the "tee" folder is the one coming from the original samsung firmware and it worked flawlessly with CM11 based paranoid android.
Thanks a lot!

JB <-> KK back and forth

Hi
I'm using a VZW G2 VS980, on 12B. I rooted it, install CWM with Simple tool V3.2
I installed Cloudyfa 's CloudyPro 2.2 (KK), all the steps are done correctly, it worked but a little buggy.
The stupid thing is I tried to restore the phone with CWM from the backup (of the 12B rom), and now it stucks in the boot LG logo. I can still access CWM though, works fine.
The question is: should I sideload another ROM (or recovery - KK based) and go from there to save time or go back to stock (11A)? And then how should I procceed to get a latest custom KK rom?
Thanks guys

Flash cloudyfa Rom again so u can boot up and download a jb baseband and flash that. Wipe as normal then restore your jb backup.

So when I restored from the backup, the baseband is still KK? (I flashed KK baseband before flashing cloudy)

You need both a JB backup and be running the JB baseband. If you did not explicitly install a JB baseband and restore a JB backup you have one or the other but not both.
A trouble I had was even though I restored the JB baseband and restored a JB backup it still didn't boot and that required dirty flashing my ROM over to get it to work.

The thing is I'm trying to get a custom KK rom that works, I don't want to go back to JB.
So should I go back completely to JB (like you said, falsh JB baseband and restore) or somehow flash another KK rom?

Because i don't want to lose DRM keys and BE2.

See bro
Root it using app called towel root
Install super su not from play store
Install busybox installer from playstore
Install a custom recovery
And flash it
You won't be unlocking your bootloader

You can flash it on locked bootloader too.Flashing this rom won't unlock your bootloader

Steps for Switching Rom
I am currently using Cm11 on sony xperia sp, I have a unlocked BL and root access.
I would like to switch to a new custom rom now like XperianZe. I tried also, and in the process i bricked and also had a bootloop.
Can anyone please explain the detailed steps to do a fresh install to a new custom rom like XperianZe.

Just follow the mentioned instructions in the respective thread. And as for Xperianz as you mentioned, you have to read this post.
Based on the post, it seemed the installation is straight forward. What makes you have a bootloop? Did you flashed the kernel mentioned in the thread via fastboot?

yes, you guessed correct. i tried flashing the kernel. And the phone didn't start at all.. not even power up.
Later i read a post in XDA, in which it was described that i should do a hard rest by pushing the hole button at back and then try to boot.
Tats when i got boot-loop. I again flashed the custom kernel (DooMLoRD) and did installed CM11 again using CM recovery. Then the phone booted cm 11.
I followed this link and tried doing so. which resulted in phone not powering up and then boot-loop.
So now if i install Xperianz ROM following instruction in this link, it should be working properly correct?
Am sorry if am asking dump questions. Now am a bit scared to try to switch to this cutom ROM as i may end up bricking the phone again. The thing is I really don't want to mess it up again.
I am new to rooting n playing around with custom ROM. CM11 was my first try and was a success in first go.
Thank you for helping me.

I am concerned about how you flashed the kernel. How did you flash the kernel provided in the thread? Did you use adb or FlashTool?
If you want to try any other you can use Existenz as it require only the stock kernel.

I used FLashtool to flash the kernal.
If my understanding is correct, As of now i am not on stock kernal. When instaling CM11, I flashed the kernal of DoomLord for getting CM 6. recovery.
If this is the case should i flash the stock kernal first and then give a try for Existenz?

Well Existenze require most Sony things out of the box, so you'll first need to have Stock ROM in place before flashing it's ZIP. I've dug through the Xperianze thread for you and seemed like your problem is not to be found in the thread. If you really want to try out Xperianze, you might want to flash the kernel via fastboot using adb, rather than Flashtool.

[Q] [i9305] Complete Flashing process Help

I own an S3 LTE i9305 which is COMPLETELY STOCK with Android version 4.1.2 and I was planning on getting a Custom ROM on it
I have been doing a lot of reading on the different procedures and what all to Install and quite honestly I am getting a bit confused. So I am just gonna jot down the entire procedure of what I have understood. I would really like to have some help from experienced members to let me know if I am going wrong somewhere
1. Rooting: Flashing the CF-AutoRoot file using Odin while the phone is in Download mode<<>> There are 2 files on https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ for my phone, one is for 4.1.1 and the other is for 4.4.4. Not sure which one to go for. Also I have downloaded Odin3_v3.09
2. Flashing CWM: after rooting I will want to flash CWM the file for which is http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-i9305.img using Odin while the phone is in Download mode
3. Flashing ROM: I am sort of interested in this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-miui-v6-smooth-faster-ota-t3097018 so I will downloaded the latest ROM file from the given download link and flash it using Odin while the phone is in Download mode
Before performing any of the above I will perform the procedure given here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...warning-guide-backup-restore-imei-nv-t1946915
Also I have checked under Settings>Security>Device admins> There is no KNOX thingy
Also I have question about this GApps, what package should I go for and is it flashed in the same way?
Also how shall I make a backup image of my phone so that I can restore it in its current state if something goes wrong?
Thank you!

Hi,
1. Use the 4.1.1 file. Your bootloader is the older one, the other file is for knox
2. Not sure about that cwm file. It is .img file; AFAIK you need a .tar file. Check this thread for more info and the .tar file HERE
3. When you download the rom file, it is a .zip. You will need to flash this once you reboot into the cwm recovery you installed in step 2, after doing the recommended wipes from the OP of the rom you want. (Recovery mode not download mode)
Gapps - choose a package from HERE You need a 4.4.x package(if you install the rom you mentioned). I like minimal gapps by @jajb, but up to you
You can make a nandroid backup from the cwm recovery, but I would recommend downloading the stock firmware from sammobile.com from your region as a backup
Good idea backing up efs folder btw. I would recommend that to everyone

Right so a couple of minutes ago I have successfully rooted the phone (verified via Root checker) and I have also successfully flashed CWM (verified by entering recovery mode)
So now before I flash my ROM the question I have is. Do I have to transfer the ROM to an SD card then install it Via SDCard? Also how do I flash the GApps? Via SDcard or ODin?
Also technical points aside which ROM do you suggest is lightweight and good for i9305? There really are a lot of ROMs I am having a hard time selecting one

You only need the recovery to flash from now unless you need to install the stock firmware. Just install the .zip files for the rom and gapps to the external sd card if you have one, or to the phone storage(just don't format internal sdcard when you do your wipes)
For the rom you could try Slimkat 4.4.4 It's nice and stable and lightweight(I haven't tried slimsaber in the same thread)
Generally if you want stability, then kitkat or earlier android versions would be what I would recommend. Lollipop builds at the moment still have a few bugs such as gps or mms etc not working properly for some users
And generally the non touchwiz roms are more "lightweight" but the TW roms have some of the features from the stock roms(samsung features).

Thanx for that. Before you made this reply I already flashed the Resurrection Remix ROM along with the Minimal GApp that you mentioned. SO far its running good. Theres slight lags that my eyes are picking up but since I am open to experimenting with my current S3 LTE before I get an Asus Zenfone 2, I dont mind the Beta builds.
After flashing the ROM and Gapps I also ran the Bloatware remover script which worked fine. Installed Google music and Cabinet beta along with Google chrome from Play store. However I miss the search bar that used to be on my homepage for quick googling, any idea how I can get that? I dont see it in the widgets or anywhere else in the phone
