Hold in the volume up while turning on the device to get back in to OpenRecovery. I believe the key combinations your trying takes you to Motorola's recovery.
[Milestone XT720 General] hellmonger:
I say go clean install here 2.1.1 to 2.2.1 to v3 use Khal's it's Stable and fast!

Use nandroid for back up.

Install apps to EXT partition if you dont want to loose them.

Our setup is too custom to use backup apps.
[Milestone XT720 General] Tavinsky:
THANKS! Very Grateful! I did what you told me, turn the volume up button and entered into openrecovery, I applied the patch 3, and the phone is working properly. Really very grateful, I was scared, and had already prepared my old palm center.

Greetings!
[Milestone XT720 General] Tavinsky:
Thanks for your response, this means that the backups do not apply the applications that are in SD?
[Milestone XT720 General] Tavinsky:
The patches remain after reestabler to factory settings?

Now that I have installed the patch 3, if I wanted to restore to factory settings I have to re-install the patches?
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
I think the patch remains in effect after a factory reset, no need to reapply the patch.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
I thought this might come handy to work on Atrix phones right out of the box with no SIM, Bypassing the Motoblur registration right to the home screen rather quickly.

Step1 (Bypassing the "No SIM card/Emergency calls only"

-Power up the phone while holding "Volume Down" until "fastboot" appears in top of the screen.

-Use the "volume down" button to navigate through booting options until you see "Boot Android (No BP) then press "Volume Up".

-The phone will skip the "No SIM card/Emergency calls only" right to the Motorblur account setup screen.

Step2 (Byapssing the Motorblur account setup)

-Bring up the virtual keyboard by holding the "Menu" key at the language selection screen of the Motorblur account setup.

-Press the "?123" key followed by ALT then "e" two times in a row, Then type "bluroff" (without the quotations).

the following keys exactly in this order..
-?123
-ALT
-ABC
-e
-?123
-ALT
-ABC
-e
-b
-l
-u
-r
-o
-f
-f

-Motorblur account setup will shutoff and you will be taken to home screen.

Note: Doing this just once will disable the Motorblur account login in all future boots.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Saschwatch:
So how does skipping blur affect the phone?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] g1g:
So if we disable moto blurr and leave the sim card in would this let us run stock android without blurr? Would the phone work proper?:rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lostsoulktash:
No, what OP is trying to say is if you want to mess around with the phone without having to type in a moto blur account and putting in a sim card do the methods above.

Basically its to disable moto blur when you have no sim card and no wifi.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SN4K3B1T3:
doesnt disable motoblur at all, motoblur is baked in the software, you cant disable it without root, all this does is skip setup...nothing else
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SpeeDemon:
The Bell Atrix actually tells you how to skip Blur registration. It's on page 4 of the manual and doesn't require any fancy passcodes. Simply press Menu... Done.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
Of course not. Disabling the motoblur account registration is for quick-accessing the phone and/or not wanting motorola to have your personal data on their servers.

EXACTLY!!

Where does it say "disable motoblur"?!! Title reads "no motoblur account" and descriptions says "bypassing".

In short, This is the fastest way to access a brand new motorola phone right after putting in the battery and powering it on.

Thanks and gold luck. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
Good. I just checked the AT&T Atrix manual and there's nothing about skipping the motoblur account registration. I wish it was just the menu button, It took me a while to figure out how to enter the bluroff code.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ytwytw:
Bell Atrix is easy to fix it

just click menu and skip setup

doesnt matter you have a sim or not :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kevyh:
So, does this actually skip MotoBlur in total, or just the sign in part of it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
Of course it does not disable the motoblur skin, Just bypass the annoying registration screen like this method for AT&T models.

Currently, The most far you can get away from MotoBlur is by using the GingerBlur ROM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ryuji5864:
The first step worked without any problems. I couldn't get step 2 to work with the above commands. I had to press ("ALT" and "e") two times followed by, "bluroff" to shutoff the MotoBlur account setup.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] RootManOne:
I'm really sorry to ask this stupid question, but if (when) you need to "reveal" ALT key, you have to click ?123 first. Clicking ALT after that shows special characters on keyboard, like "#$%", so how you are managing to click ALT>E. Can someone tell exact key press sequence please? Like "?123">"ALT">"another key"
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ytwytw:
Install Launcher Pro or ADW after skipping,

since I am bell atrix, i have no luck to install any custom rom :mad:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cheetah2k:
I also have the Bell Atrix.

Does skipping the Moto Blur registration and sign in improve the speed of the device - eg, does it slow it down??

If not, I don't care using the Moto Blur account sign in, because it saves me from having to re-do my other accounts sign-ins every time I factory reset.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wargame1:
I'm with RootManOne on this one. Please post the exact sequence.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeystarr:
Yes please can someone tell the exact step by step (button after button) sequence, because i'm not able to skip but need it as a hell! The problem is that my atrix has wifi problems and i can not connect to internet with my cellular provider, so i need to skip it! Thanks in advance
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SN4K3B1T3:
You know if you read other peoples posts asking if this disables motoblur you wouldn't have to go on a tard rant...I was clarifying for other people that didn't read the post...thanks and good luck

It worked! but don't forget to push "home" button in the end! Thanks a lot!!!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] F_L_Abs:
Wow! I was extremely skeptical at first to be honest, but it worked!

While I don't think this actually disables motoblur, it prevents you from being forced to use the service. I'm sure this will help a bit with battery life
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ytwytw:
It won't speed up or slow down your phone, but it saves your battery life

I have App conflicting with motoblur, so I have to disable it since it cannot backup my settings

[Atrix 4G Android Development] WooWoo:
I have an AT&T Atrix. What if I am using the phone for a while already? I try taking the SIM out and select "Boot Android (No BP)". It takes me right into the home screen without requesting any Blur setup. Do I need to put in another SIM to trigger it first before booting to No BP? Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NathanWolf:
@CyberPunk7t9 - Worked for me on my AT&T Atrix 4G! Thank you very much for the clear, concise instructions.

Excited to be one step closer to blur-free.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ergosteur:
Thanks a lot, works on my Moto Charm too!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Haphim:
I understand that doing this does not disable MotoBlue, and I understand that it skips the setup process.

Does this have any effect at all on the functionality or appearance of the phone in any way?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] frank.liu:
Thanks~

It's worked
[Atrix 4G Android Development] veldargk:
If you are on a Bell Atrix (like myself) there is a way to DISABLE MotoBLUR, or at least most of it. Read up the following post. I have done it and it works well so far. No yukcy Motorola stuff of bloatware from Bell anymore!!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Haphim:
So I tried this. It worked, but when I try to create a new Contact, I get an error message - "can not create a new contact without a valid account".

Is there a way around this? I *certainly* don't want Motorola to have access to my contacts. Is there no way to set this up locally only?

Or is there another reason for the error?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wargame1:
This worked for me.. Thank you!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] F_L_Abs:
Im not having the same problem. I do have my google account attached though of course.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] chinxos203:
updated: if you do this method you will need to factory rest your phone to update it. the update requires motoblur and i was unable to find a way to get it back. tried restoring old settings from TiBackup but no luck...

_______

you can freeze the blur.res file. this seems to wipe all of your accounts out and then will need to be re setup. Also once you freeze this your phone will start force closing everything and widgets will stop working. battery pull was the only way i was able to get the phone working again. once i restarted it i defrost the blur.res file and added my google accounts back. no blur account on phone and i can use the phone w/o SIM. no special booting needed. not sure if i should leave the blur.res file frozen our not.

**back up first**try at your own risk**

But Im bit confuse about:

-every each line I have to press enter ?

-ALT means ALT button or letters "A" "L" "T" ?

thx for any help to sortet out
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
put this in the OP... no joke, your original instructions made no sense to me LOL i felt like such an idiot.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
-I know someone here mentioned to press home. But you don't need that. the last letter you type is the "f" and wait for like half a second before the motoblur account screen will fade away.

-No you don't press enter and ALT is just that one ALT key. not letters.

The total key presses (touches) are 15 just as detailed one by one.

Good luck
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:

press <?123> <alt> <abc> "e" <?123> <alt> <abc> "e" "b" "l" "u" "r" "o" "f" "f"

From what you are saying you are missing the <abc> and repeating the <?123> <alt> <abc> a second time.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] UkUser:
thank YOU _Dennis_ eureca:D

problem was that I was tapeing letter ABC coz was normal for me when we have to change for digits to letters we pressing "abc" to do that

And now I recognise that manual show step by step which buttoms we have to press ;) even when option to change keybard screen.

THX for help and patience;)

Hi i have a slightly different problem. I have already activated my blur acc w/ a different sim, but when i change sim and power up, i get the screen " sim card is remove or changed. Log in to your motoblur acc to unlock". I have no internet sometimes so i want to disable this blur login for good. There is no language selection screen for me at this point, only "reset password" or "log in" button at the bottom. I tried typing .?123 alt abc e at the motoblur id field but nothing appear. Something i miss here? Pls help
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
just to be sure.. you said you tried typing ".?123 alt abc e" as in you tried the entire sequence or just that?

I'm not sure if the method works at the "sim card is removed or changed" screen. Also not sure that screen will show up if the bypass code is used then sim card was swapped.

I'd try now if I had another sim around.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mirot:
Thanx man you are the king !!!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] natboy:
Not sure if it was posted or not, but I did this method and then couldn't receive the updates OTA. It prompts you to create/log into the MotoBlur account. I'm sure RSDLite would work fine though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] milesjohnson:
Does anyone know how to restore motoblur? Because somehow I got rid of motoblur without wanting to when i was replacing the framework and now whenever i go to update it prompts me to add a motobliur account but when i press yes or whatever the prompt says, it doesnt do anything. Is the only way to get motoblur back by sbfing? :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
I ran into this a long time ago...I tried repeating process and using 'bluron' instead of 'bluroff' with no luck. Ended up Factory SBF, then updating. There might be another way, but I had no luck finding one to work.

yeah i was gonna use that for last resort but i mean there has to be some way you can get it back without flashing....i hope

Please help me

I need help guys. Like the other member I have an issue getting past motoblur login (NOT registration). I registered with Motoblur when I got the phone. I am getting ready to be out of the country. I purchased an unlock code and put a foreign sim I had lying around in the phone. Entered the unlock code and everything good. That is, until it booted up. I DO NOT get a registration screen. I get a signin screen. It has two fields, id and password and two on screen buttons, login and reset password. Pressing menu brings up APN, emergency call, Wifi, and I can't recall the last thing.

I tried entering the code as stated here but it just ends up typing "eebluroff" in the id field.

Any suggestions on how I can bypass now that an account is setup? I don't know if there will be wifi where I will be and it will be useless otherwise.

I would like to know if I will still get OTA updates once it's off?

Thanks to anyone who helps.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] maihold:
For me "Step2 (Byapssing the Motorblur account setup)" is also working with Gingerbread 2.3.4 ! But needed a factory reset to do it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] eval-:
Hi Baddison,

Little-known-trick: this still works on 4.5.91. BUT, you need a physical keyboard. Basically, they just disabled the keyboard pop-up during the setup for AT&T now. (Other carriers can still skip, it seems) For a physical keyboard you'd need either a dock or the 'home-made' dock as described here:

http://a-trix.net/wiki/index.php/Cheap_OTG_webtop

(source: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=997187)

Unfortunately, while those dealextreme parts are cheap, they're veeeery slow to ship. Now, I don't know whether you can bluetooth pair a keyboard at that point, and then type 'alt-e e bluroff' ? Let us know if that works! You might want to fastboot flash one of the system.img files that already has:

<boolean name='ShowSkipSetupMenu' value='true'/>

in

/system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.setup/default.xml

g'luck!

I know this is a very old thread, but in case someone else is searching for the answer and happens to stumble across this issue of bypassing the blur account setup screen, I have something to add:

The above code is correct, but I had to press the ENTER key on the virtual keyboard after doing the "bluroff" to get it to bypass this screen.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] upndwn4par:
This actually works even with a sim card. You don't need to hit return, it just takes a few seconds to register. Also, all that is needed is the sequence below (with rebooting as described in OP):

Without a SIM you can't even get that far. Emergency calls only and no way of getting past that (afaik).

Any ideas?

You don't need a valid SIM card to use it, if you have a void one (old contract or so) use that. Or just buy one cheap.

The title says it all. Im just wondering if theres a program or plugin or anything to let me check the update script without the hassle of putting it on the phone and trying to install it.

Thanks in advance

EDIT for MOAR info.

I just make simple boot animations. I pulled this script from a theme install, and it worked fine.

ui_print("YOU ARE INSTALLING A BIGDX SERENITY THEME");

mount("MTD", "system", "/system");

show_progress(0.500000, 40);

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

show_progress(0.100000, 10);

mount("MTD", "sdcard", "/sdcard");

package_extract_dir("sdcard", "/sdcard");

unmount("/sdcard");

unmount("/system");

ui_print("INSTALL OF BIGDX THEME COMPLETE!");

I tried to change it to this

ui_print("YOU ARE INSTALLING A BOOT ANIMATION");

mount("MTD", "system", "/system");

show_progress(0.500000, 40);

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

show_progress(0.100000, 10);

unmount("/system");

ui_print("INSTALL OF BOOT ANIMATION COMPLETE!")

And im not sure why but its giving me hell, and I just want a way to trial/error without having to zip it all back up and install it.

My problem that started recently is I now see a lot of duplicate apps in the app list - it started when I move some apps from device to the SD Card (internal that is).

Hey guys I recently bought an Atrix from membershipwireless.com (Costco's wireless store) and when I received it, it looked used. One, the stock protector (the one that says Don't Text and Drive") was covered in thick fingerprints and a couple of scratches and upon further inspection, the sim card slot had a couple of scratches. I thought I had received a phone that someone had returned so I filed for an RMA, I just received the second one and guess what, same thing. Did all of your Atrix's come with fingerprints and such on that cover? I want to know if I have received two used ones or if all of them come like that.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doktortaru:
go in to costco and explain the situation to the reps, they will likely swap you a phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
Mine did, however because I won it, and it was shipped overseas, I was semi-expecting it.

Didn't have scratches though..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:

Well it might have been one of the Atrix that was randomly picked up for QA Testing? I would assume after testing it, Moto would pack it to be sold?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongd:
That's what I had figured. But I can imagine if some of the very early models may have been handled more than batches released later. Make sense, but I'd like to hope there was more strict QC.

When I buy a high end electronic I want it to be handled as little as possible.
