I installed cyanogen 7 and all I get is boot logo this keeps resting "the cyanogen" logo and I do have my atrix unlocked and rooted.
Lack of the following specifics:
How did you flash CM7? (ADB push or through CWM or twrp)
What version of CM7 did you try to flash?
AT&T atrix or international atrix?
Did you flash a kernel or any additional zips prior to booting?
Did you perform a full wipe before installing?
And many other questions may arise, should we get more specifics from you.
Wipe data. Cache. Dalvick and re-install

How did you flash CM7? (ADB push or through CWM or twerp) I used rom manager from market store
What version of CM7 did you try to flash? the regular builds non nightly
AT&T atrix or international atrix? att
Did you flash a kernel or any additional zips prior to booting? no
You need to have installed a recovery program that you can get to by holding the VOL DOWN button while booting. ROM manager is useless without a recovery program behind it.
Oh so how can I flash an rom without a rom manger just using the computer?
I would spoon-feed you this information, however it would be like handing a monkey a rocket-propelled grenade. You need to take time to read before you create a very expensive paperweight.

Please take the time to read this, all the way through. If you haphazardly install things without full knowledge of what it does, people will have very little to no sympathy for you when you brick your phone.
Yes I did do the following
While in Recovery install CM7 from internal storage
After installation select Data Wipe/Factory Reset
Then Wipe Cache Partition
Reboot system now
Watch awesome boot animation.
I do not see nothing else after the boot animation?

If you installed CM7, and then did a factory reset, you undid your first step.
\\FROM ANDROID RECOVERY MODE// (hold volume down button then scroll through the options until you get to Android Recovery, then press VOL UP to confirm. If you don't see Android Recovery in the list, then you're missing something crucial)
1. Wipe/Factory reset
2. Install CM7
3. Wipe cache (optional)
4. Reboot
reead the noob guide for xda google search will reveal this awsome guide and video hehe

You would think that it would undo, but it doesn't. The factory reset doesn't "unflash" the ROM. All it does, is flush cache and a few other directories.

How long did you let the phone sit after rebooting? It can take 15 minutes on initial boot after flashing a ROM. All that time all you will see is the boot animation.

Wipe dalvik and cache partition and factory reset it in the cwm. Make sure your boot loader is unlocked. Made that mistake my first time.?

Definitely. I made that mistake myself the first time I went to flash CM7. In fact, what took me the longest the first time around was that I unlocked out of order, so I could not boot into CWM for the longest time.

Hi all. Sorry fo my bad English - I'm russian.
Ok, I have a bricked ZTE Blade - GEN2, China 256Mb RAM.
I've read this topic modaco com/topic/343587-guide-de-bricking-a-zte-blade/
I have some problems, thats why I'm asking for some help.
1) I've used Method 5: The dodgy ZTE firmware flasher
At the point Flash Firmware - 6)When finished it should boot into FTM mode. - but it doesn't.
I've took out the battary, and rebooted my phone in the FTM-mode. Succesfully restored IMEI (got no errors).
And then:
Put clockworkmod in the recovery partition
Take out the battery and turn on the phone. Clockworkmod should load
There is no ClockWork! Only FTM...
Installed ClockWork via cmd script. It has loaded, but here is the next problem:
"You can now flash a ROM"
I've tried to flash Swedish_Spring_RLS5. So I mounted system and data.
Installation ok, but if i reboot i get clockwork.
Tried to flash image.bin from zte-website. If i reboot after the installation i get clockwork.
Tried to get stock recovery. Installed it via cmd script, but it doesn't load.
I get FTM-mode.
There is no phone-workshop in my city, and I have no more warranty for this smartphone, so i hope you can help me. Thanks.
At the beggining the problem was - the boot was down. The splash appeares, slides to right, the phone reboots.
Try reflashing clockworkmod and do a full wipe.
It might also help if you format system.

doesn't helped
Ok, reinstalled cwm, have done all wipes, formatted system,data.
Tried to flash.
Nothing. Reboot => CWM
Does the rom flash process success?
Try flashing another rom.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
yes
yes, it does. i get no errors, and
there are files in the system partiton.
when i make a backup i see all the files from the os.
have tried. cm7, cm9, other stock: 2.1, 2.3 - every gives the same result - only cwm is loading.
when i flash the stock recovery - then i get only ftm on load.
is my phone totally bricked? i hope there is a way to restore...
It's semi-bricked. You could try to flash stock rom with ftm and root it with z4root.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
ok
ok. i will try P729J_2GW900V2.2.0B01-NO_RECOVERY-update_signed.zip
will update this message when done.
--- upd
tried:
1) china tpt's
2) all wipes and formats
3) all mounts + flashing Swedish_Spring_RLS5
4) boot.img via adb
result: ANDROID Loaded, but the hardware keys are not working... UrbanDrawer, any ideas?
Just reflash rom and wipe data.
If the problem didn't get fixed, flash another rom.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
no success
Flashed a stock China ROM.
No success. Boot info FTM. No way to boot the system...
Tried another ROM's for 512Mb models - same result: FTM-mode :crying:
Any other ideas?

Before doing this, you could also hard reset the phone, that way there's not going to be any software-related problems.

what i do
Ok. What i do.
1) Launch ZTE Flasher, swich my phone into download mode (vol+/vol-/power)
2) Flash IT (China v880 Firmware)
3) When finished - release battery.
Turn on and get FTM-mode, no clockword or smth. else. Only FTM.
4) TPT's : China v880 GEN2 TPT's.
When finished - the phone doe's not reboot. Need to release the battery, and to power on.
5) Oh my God! Yellow CWM!!! :laugh:
I mount data,system.
All wipes.
Format all, except SD.
6) Flashing ROM.
7) Reboot.
After the reboot I get CWM (on stock rom's) or FTM (after CM).
What am I doing wrong?
Try method 1.

Sure. I did!
(i read many threads relating my issue but they were not same, they was little difference in the problem. and i also tried there solutions but no improvement. so i decided to ask in a thread)
i was using defy+ with CM7 rom.
I installed this rom on my defy+
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044797
first it booted and was working but after rebooting it resulted in boot loop .
( it shows Motorola sign then shows rom animation within few seconds is resumes rom animation and it keeps repeating animation.)
i waited for it an hour but is didn't go well.
then i tried restoring my old rom using CWM but i was unable to restore it is also resulted in same...
then i tried installing sdf using rsd but i have no improvement....
Now i can only go to bootloader version 09.1 and i says battery is low , can't program . i put the charger for whole night but i still says battery low can't program
can you please help me solving this problem
After installing that Rom you needed to enter boot menu and format data to ext4. Now, if you're unable to flash any sbf due to low battery then refer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026
Or if you have access to another defy then use its battery and flash the sbf. Wipe data from stock recovery if you run into any issues after sbf flash
As stated below dalvik cache should be wiped, and data is automatically wiped when you format it to ext4 as stated above

Or in other words you need to wipe data/cache and dalvik BEFORE and AFTER flashing the custom ROM (neagan or other). For now charge the battery and do the sbf flash. Pay attention at the "optional" indications. It better to do it.
CWM is missing
using your link i can solve the problem
but i dont have CWM so i cant wipe delvik data/cach
i only have bootloader
i only can go to bootloader and can't do any thing else. because CWM is removed.
tell me if you have any information about to do something using bootloader..
Do it from stock recovery, data wipe and cache wipe
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
From stock recovery (bootloader) you will format as ext3 but is better to format in ext4 and that can be done from custom recovery. For that you have to install 2init and run it.

stock recovery?
i just need to now how to go into stock recovery?
How do I enter Recovery Mode?!: With the Phone off press VOLUME DOWN then, while still pressed, power up the phone and leave VOL key pressed until you see a Yellow triangle, once you see this you are in Recovery now press Vol Up and Vol Down at the same time (if you are in Froyo) and the menu will appear, if you are on Éclair the menu should appear without having to press anything.
copy/paste from this thread.
thanks
Thanks bros
I recovered my phone and i is running with CM7 and i am not gonna try CM10 again until it comes with all bug fixes..
thanks again for your help..
I tried to format the system folder while installing cyanogenmod nightlie and it froze. took battery out and rebooted and got back into download mode and cwm - resintalled it - all ok, but just stuck of the cyanogenmod boot screen.
Tried ot flash a stock rom, all goes through ok, but is stuck of the samsung boot screen
Help?
I can get into the cwm and download and odin connects ok
That isn't even a soft brick, just a bad flash. Go into recovery and try to flash CM again. If it doesn't work restore your stock backup (I assume you made a backup).

u need to wipe data
Sorted - thanks for both replies - wiping the data has done it - I thought i had already tried that and was still stuck.
It will never be bricked until you cannot access to recovery
Never worry about bricking. It's not a rare occasion. You'll be able to go through the recovery & reboot in your sleep lol.

I was trying to flash a new rom, when I went to recovery and I was wiping everything... I wiped cache, dalvik, data and when I was wiping system it rebooted and all it does now is bootloop to twrp... I mean it stays on the twrp screen, the very first screen on twrp before it gets to menus, and restarts into recovery again and freezes and restarts again... and again... I was able to get to the download mode.. I think the problem is with twrp, should I flash new twrp from there or what do u all suggest... help please

If you're wiping the system, what you're really doing is removing android, and the bootloader, if im not wrong. Did you wipe data, cache, dalvik, system and then flash the rom? Or how was the order. If it was as I said there should be no problem, try reflashing the rom.

Flash a new TWRP from the Bootloader, reboot into TWRP, sideload a ROM. You DID erase /system, like he was trying to tell you, in all likelihood. Doing so erases the entire Android OS.

Turn it COMPLETELY off. Hold vol up/down (BOTH), and power until it shows a "Restart"/"Restart BootLoader"/etc. That's where you can fastboot flash TWRP

Something happened to the recovery that I can not figure out.. but after a couple of tries, flashing recovery thru fastboot, its working now.... and I still dont think its coz I wiped system.... I have qlways done that.... even when I update the same custon rom to a new update, I always wipe cache, dalvik, and system.... but no data and ofcourse wipe all when flashing a new rom.... when recovery worked I wiped system again and flashed a new rom and did that a couple of times... nothing wrong anymore.... so im sure u can wipe system before flashing a new rom....

I normally wipe /System anytime I switch ROM's, too, but TWRP has done some funny things lately, and if you wiped it accidentally AFTER installing the ROM, or didn't quite install one just after, that may have done the trick
