yeah but im the kinda guy that cant stand ugly looking UI's and i HATE! MotoBlur and the White status bar.. the stupid Bell thing at the top dosent help either
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
lol, no kidding, man. I'm a stickler for aesthetics too. More pretty, more better! :D

Just used VNC to remote to my computer and download the files. Got this thread and everything loaded up in Chrome just waiting for me to nerd it out tonight hahaha
[Atrix 4G Android Development] k4r1m:
can we get some screenshots lol?

what do you want screenshots of exactly?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EGM92:
I've never flashed any SBF on my Bell Atrix. I'd like to try it, I've got RDSLite, the SBF downloaded. Do I need to do any other steps other than just click start and let it do its thing?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ratchet556:
Okay i am please to say that it does work. for saftey i would start out by flashing GingerBlur 2.5 first then flash 3.1 just incase.

I will post screenshots as soon as i find out how :P
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ratchet556:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Okay here is confirmation that i got GingerBlur to install on this SBF. Enjoy :D.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] k4r1m:
did you do anything special to get it working?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] IrshaadH:
Any ideas on where this SBF came from? The default language is french, so it could be for Quebec users.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EGM92:
Holy hell... I installed it, took about 5minutes to install. The phone is so damn fast, it wasn't this fast when it came out of the box lol. Damn I'm loving the atrix so much more :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Nice! On a Bell Atrix?

Sent from my rooted and frozen Motorola Olympus.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EGM92:
Yep Bell Atrix. The unit is so speedy, downloading over wifi in the market is amazingly fast now. The Atrix would take nearly a minute to download tiny free apps when I started redownloading everything I first downloaded dropbox which is 11mb, I pressed the search thinking that I'd have enough time to queue up a couple of downloads and by the time I did that the notice in the status bar said installing. It took roughly 6min to download/install Dropbox when I first got the phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] IrshaadH:
I'm just speculating here, but could this be the update that motorola hinted would contain an unlocked bootloader? How would one find out?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sifon187:
No, it is most likely Bell's update that we got on AT&T a few days ago.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ratchet556:
I don't think it is from bell because in the system version it said "Retail" not "Bell" like it would have. it is a french update it said "en.FR" not en.US or AU like the other ones did
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sifon187:
Well one way to tell if bootloader maybe unlocked.

reboot into fastboot mode (down volume rocker and power button),

From Android SDK

fastboot getvar secure

if secure: no then theres hope
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ratchet556:
Good idea i shall try that
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Nice! Thanks for the info! I am gonna charge overnight and flash this baby tomorrow morning. :)

[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
The country code would indicate that it's from Le France, not a Quebec provider. There are a few local resellers I believe, but none that would have much of a unique OTA. I'd imagine it'd probably have the parent company's OTAs, et al.

Motorola said that they'd provide unlocked bootloaders for those who ask for it - so there's a bit of a bull**** scapegoat right there. We need an engaged and enthusiastic provider that will really go the distance for us, and that's what's so discouraging.

I'd love for it if this were a leaked build with an unlocked bootloader. That'd be ****ing fantastic!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ratchet556:
well i dont think it is from any carrier actually because it has absolutely 0 bloatware apps on it and dosent have any branded boot animation also where it says Bell or ATT in the system version it just says Retal. i see there being a possibility of unlocked bootloader but dont get excited because i dont see it happening
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
Oh yeah, I meant to shoot down the probability of it being from any provider for that matter as well. Thinking it's probably for a retail kiosk or store, possibly somewhere in between being a development build, etc.. could be just a matter of circumstance that it has their country code.

I know it's a stretch but how awesome would that be if things were all peaches and cream and someone was able to crack the bootloader by next week? hahaha (wishful thinking, I know, I'll stop...)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ratchet556:
Okay sorry to ask but how would i go about doing that?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ratchet556:
I personally think the devs are very very close to cracking this thing wide open.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
Actually... about that. I thought that all of our Atrix devices in fact said "no" for that value (I recall this because it led to a lot of confusion and then some sudden disappointment)?

Perhaps I'm wrong though. It's been a long evening...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ratchet556:
Yeah well i figured it out and it comes up with "yes" so sorry. not unlocked
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cheetah2k:
agreed, its not bootloader unlocked FW

good to see this is yet another FW able to be flashed by the Bell handsets :D

I'm not regretting getting the Bell over the AT&T one now. :cool:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blunted09:
Anyone else have anything to say about this? Themes work on it? Want to flash this but would like some more feedback.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
It seems like themes do work, but only one person has confirmed it. I don't see why they wouldn't though. And at least we have an SBF that works that we can flash back to - two now for the Bell Atrix. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ratchet556:
Yes. i can confirm that theme like GingerBlur/GreyBlur DO infact work. i posted a screenshot earlier as proof. once you have either of thoose two installed you can flash other themes.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mazdaspeed786:
Hello, after reading through the thread, will I be able to flash this on the att version ? I just wanted to compare the speeds and overall performance vs. The 1.83 stock I am running right now since this version is completely bloatware free.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
dude if youve read the whole thread, someone clearly states that he flashed it to an att atrix and bricked it, aswell as the name of the flash suggests its not for the att atrix ...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hburn:
Is there anyway to flash this and copy my stock build.prop from bell over the new sbf??. so i can reinstall the bell tv app and make it work....on my sgs i was using sgstool to change some line to make it work .... waiting an answer before testing...thanks!!

Edit: tv apk work right away after instaling
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
you can copy and replace build.prop using root explorer if you want, you could also just edit the new build.prop using the same program.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hburn:
Are you serious ....Lol sgstool work on atrix?!?! I Should have try before .....thanks again!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hosmsdos:
Can anyone check to see if they fixed the multitouch glitch
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
i meant you could edit it using rootexplorer, i think you misunderstood when i said "using the same program" i meant the one to which i had already referred

thanks got it rooted..

anyone got gingerblur 3.1 working? or is it just 2.5 for now?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I got it rooted and am putting all my crap back on now. Man, although I hate MOTOBLUR, it's sooo much faster on this rom.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
greyblur

i have a bell atrix and all i did was flash this sbf and root with gingerbreak v1.1 and then flashed greyblur, didn't even have to deodex manually and it worked like a charm :) i'm lovin my atrix these days!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
So far so good. Phone seems faster but it reset on my twice while restoring my apps with TB. I THINK it may be due to a few corrupt backup files though. It's been fine since.

It boots sooo much faster. Motoblur is definitely faster, although I still don't use it.

I love the no-bloatware bit. Sweet.

The fingerprint reader is also much more responsive.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ratchet556:
3.1 works. i just flashed 2.5 first just incase something went wrong then flashed 3.1 over top
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hburn:
Version 1.2 didnt work????
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EGM92:
ummm I'm having a serious issue with the phone now. Yesterday night it was perfect, running super fast, everything running. This morning I rebooted the phone before I went to work, now the HSUPA doesn't turn on. I've turned on data, tried to set it into airplane mode and turning it off and a bunch of other combinations but it doesn't seem to want to turn on. Any advice?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
I will stick by the stock for 90% of all phones as it is 64 and not 32.

Anyways this can be changed. I'll figure out a port for this today and then update the Bell Atrix/International thread over the next few hours.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Working fine for me, although the network is a bit congested.

Did you have to set any APN/VPN to get it to work or was it just working post flash?

I'm trying the Telstra sbf right now hoping that it fixes it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I used APN backup and restore to restore my Bell APN settings.

You could probably also just flash the Telstra radio if you are having issues. That way you keep this fast, Bloatware-free rom and get the Telstra radio that we already know has no issues. :)

Sent from my rooted and frozen Motorola Olympus.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Hey :)

You mentioned earlier that it was easy to remove the carrier logo from the notification bar. How do you do it? It's not that bad on mine as it just says "Bell", but I would rather not have it there at all. :cool:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EGM92:
I flashed the Telstra sbf and still no HSPA.

I went into About Phone/ Status and under Mobile Network state it's Disconnected. Is there a way to get it to turn on? I'm a android noob.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
What carrier are you on?

Can you make voice calls?

Also, go into Settings/Data Manager/Data Delivery and make sure Data is enabled. :)

If data is enabled and still not working, go to Settings/Wireless and network/mobile networks/access point names and make sure your carrier's APN shows up.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EGM92:
I'm on Bell, and of course I did that lol and still not working...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Then go to Settings/Wireless & Network settings/Mobile networks/Access Point Names and make sure Bell's APN is listed.

Hahaha Sorry. I had to ask about the obvious stuff. Sometimes people (including myself) overlook the simplest things hahaha
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EGM92:
Nothing's listed. Would you mind providing me with the info?

I'd really appreciate it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
That's your problem! Here you go!

Now you can flash back to this U4_2.1.1 sbf again if you like and just re-enter the APN after. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PoseyBAH:
has anyone themed this besides that one guy?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I haven't yet. But I run a theme with GO Launcher and I don't like Greyblur/Gingerblur notification icons, so I won't bother. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EGM92:
Added the info. I had that at one point but I thought it may have changed. Still no change, added the APN, enabled it by selecting the circle. Still nothing, rebooted the phone, nada... :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Ok that's weird. I had no data until I added it, but once I added it everything worked.

Does wifi work?

Did you have data working after you originally flashed this rom, or did you NEVER have data after you flashed?

Meaning, data working on Bell rom, no data after flash to this sbf?

Your SIM card may have flaked out also. Does it pick up your SIM or do you have SOS only?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
Hm.. area issue perhaps? Where are you exactly?

Both GibMcFragger and I are in BC (him being on the mainland and me being on the Island)... I'm getting friggin' kick ass speeds!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EGM92:
Last night when I flashed it, I had data, or at least it looked like I had data with with H+ icon on top. Since I was at home I didn't need to use data and had wifi enabled. Didn't test it till I rebooted the phone and thats when I noticed that the browser wasn't working.

If my SIM is flaked wouldn't that prevent me from sending sms messages or making phone calls? I'm able to do that. Sorry I don't know what SOS is.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
He has NO connection, so either his SIM flaked out or his phone radio went South. I can't tell what's wrong without the phone in front of me.

As for this sbf, I am loving it. It's much smoother than the stock Bell sbf and I am getting some crazy HSDPA/HSUPA speeds now. Even better than I got with the Telstra modem. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Ok, that narrows it down at least. SOS only mode shows up when your SIM isn't detected, meaning you can only make 911 calls.

By the fact that wifi, voice and SMS (which uses voice network) is ok, I am led to believe it's a data issue or setting being you said it worked for a while.

Try this:

On your phone keypad, enter *#*#4636#*#* and then go into "Phone information" when the menu pops up.

Scroll down to the Preferred Network Type menu and make sure it's set to "GSM auto (PRL)"

Below that is another menu to turn on/off radio. Make sure the radio is on.

The info at the top of that menu page shows all your network info. It should say Bell as Current Network.

You can also run a ping test which should retrieve all the network connection info.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] k4r1m:
seriously? well I flashed 3.1 after the sbf flash and it didn't work I ended up getting a bootloop.. So I'm guessing we have to flash 2.5 first? and where did you get 2.5 from? I can't seem to find the link anywhere on the nor the topic...

thanks,
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EGM92:
Did exactly what you said. Under GPRS Service: Disconnected. GSM Disconnects: State: DcInactiveState disconnected with the last try at 6:59pm fail because No Error.

I turned on and off the radio multiple times with nothing popping up.

Is there anything I can do warranty wise if the radio is busted?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
Damn. It does seems like it's not recognizing the SIM or something greater is going on. Have another SIM you could test by any chance?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EGM92:
Would a Rogers SIM work with a Rogers APN?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Not unless the phone is unlocked....which it isn't.

Have you tried flashing JUST the Telstra radio again, just for the hell of it?

Here's something. For the hell of it, try enabling data roaming (in the same menu that you enable/disable data in the wireless and network settings.

If it thinks your phone is roaming, it may disable the data. I know.........long shot, but it doesn't hurt to try.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EGM92:
Right, forgot about the unlock Damn. lol I'll try flashing the radio.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Damn. This modem flies! Me likie!

Hahaha oops. Grabbed that screenie too fast. Got the SU prompt in the pic. :D

[Atrix 4G Android Development] EGM92:
Nope, radio sbf didn't work. Would taking it to a Bell store and having them look at it help?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
That may help, but when they see that you are not running the Bell rom they will probably deny you warranty. Hopefully they won't, but they probably will.

Lol you are probably better off completely bricking it so it won't boot and then playing stupid and warrantying it hahaha

[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
Honestly I'd try downloading the SBF one more time. I had similar challenges and just had to redownload it again (I flashed the non-working file again just to confirm my suspicions, it was in fact pooched).

Hopefully you can get that patched up though, bro! What a bummer.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ratatouille:
Is it possible to deodex?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EGM92:
Just redownloaded the file and flashed it. No luck... guess I'll try to find some way to brick it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PoseyBAH:
go into bell and make sure your sim isnt fried. I work for bell and replace fried sims all the time. just ask for a sim replacement
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EGM92:
You've replaced SIMs with the problem that I have? Everything but data working? Do I just walk in and say "I need a replacement SIM"?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kelliez:
I flashed this sbf before work today to my atrix on rogers,so far so good, but I have noticed that my network icon is primarily 3G and then H every once and a while, no more H+, looks like the upload speed is uncapped, still getting just above 1Mbps.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ratatouille:
I would say you are right, 3.2 down and 1.2up
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
Yeah, it really does sound like the most probable scenario is that your SIM is just fried. Are you 100% sure the APN is typed correctly? What's the exact one that you're using?

It's all case sensitive so it's amazingly simple to add an extra space or a comma instead of a period to kill everything. Worst case scenario you can get a new SIM with no trouble at all. But I hope you can fix it sooner than later though. This SBF really kicks ass!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kelliez:
same speeds I was getting with the stock bell rom and the telstra radio.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Yes, but the overall speed of the rom is much better. I find it has much less lag and a MUCH faster boot time than the Bell rom does. That and no bloatware!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
We must understand and appreciate that your actual network's performance is the mitigating factor. What this SBF does though is ALLOWS us more than the 300 or so kbps the first few ROMs were permitting. If your network connection is poor, the speeds will reflect that.

Try maybe power cycling your phone or reconnecting to the Rogers network. Or call Rogers and tell them to invest more time and money into their networks instead of rebranding themselves as a "4G" carrier (something they promised not to do until they roll out LTE - lying bastards). They said they wouldn't change the naming conventions like everyone else did because it was shady... but now they justify it because "everyone else is doing it". Bunch of scumbags.

I called my friend who's an Operations manager for Telus and he helped me out. He relayed me to a friend who works for Bell. After about 30min I troubleshooting the hell out of the phone we got the network to detect 3G but not H+. The APN, under the section APN type needed to be blank for it to actually turn on. At times it'll jump to H+ for a split second then go back to 3G.

Thanks for all the help guys.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Oh crap. I just looked. You are right! The APN type should be blank. I copied the info from another site and didn't even notice the typo.

As for H+, with this sbf it only shows H, not H+. That is normal. You still get HSPA
