[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OSNPA:
So, I am not 100% certain where I went wrong in all of this, but I know that I did enough to warrant the hassle. If anyone can step in and help educate me for next go-around, I would appreciate it.

I had 4.1.8.3 with Gingerblur 3.1 installed, Gingerbreak via adb, GladEnabler sideloading, webtop modded, debian installed in webtop, Blue Mist theme with Launcher Pro Plus, and the Blue Mist themed Launcher Pro stuffs. I was starting to get some constant restarts of Launcher Pro, wasn't really sure what to do with that, but didn't mess around with it really. I had this setup for a little while, was starting to think about doing it all over, so I got a little risky. I started messing with freezing things in Titanium Backup without knowing truely what to do, thinking thaw was an easy undo. Things were starting to slow up on me and I wanted to experiment with breathing new life into the phone. :rolleyes: I ended up borking my Blur accounts irreversibly and my contacts would not sync anymore. I only had the phone numbers that I had manually entered. I had them backed up on the PC and Lookout website, but it seemed like a good time to start over fresh. I already had a nandroid backup from a week earlier, so I did a full app+data backup in Titanium and copied over both SD cards to my PC. Last night I flashed 4.1.5.7 firmware and 4.1.8.3 service firmware and started all over.

I first ran into problems getting adb to recognize my device, so I installed the Android SDK software for Win7 and it updated my adb drivers. Great, it worked. Gingerbreak via adb (remembering to unmount my internal SD card this time) and we have root. Then I ran Glad Enabler, worked great. Then I installed Titanium from the market, restored user apps with data selectively. Everything is looking pretty good, figured I would try out the Atrix mods app in the dev forum. At that point I read closer that the early USB enumeration and 2nd-init scripts needed the NFHimself modded Gingerbreak to utilize the other mods, so I ran that version of gingerbreak (yeah, with root access already) to get files in the right location, everything seemed to go smoothly. At 4:30 am, I called it quits for the night.

In the morning, I figured I would just theme it so I tried out Motobread. Beautiful, btw. I was trying to figure why Titanium wasn't recognizing my Pro license key, and it said to check in settings/applications to see where it was installed. Hmmm, Settings isn't even in the app drawer anymore. So I ran Settings from the home menu and it did nothing. :eek: So, I un-rooted with NFHimself's app, re-flashed the 4.1.8.3 service firmware and got the Settings menu back. I then ran NFHimself's Gingerbreak, early USB enumeration and 2nd init, and everything is looking fine.

So now I'm getting ready to CWM install GladiAtrix, installed Flash 10.3 from the market, checked that it worked, and off we go! Everything seemed to go smoothly, the hulu fix works! Checked the webtop stuff when the kids went up for their naps, the menu didn't pop up with HDMI connection, and when I opened it from the app drawer, it told me no loaded web pages for webtop or something to that effect, so I ran the fix patch in CWM and I'm all set. Lxterminal and all. :D

New nandroid backup now, I guess. ;)

Lessons learned:

-before messing with Blur services, get ready for a long night :rolleyes:

-be a little less willing to say 'what the hell' before running something for the first time

Hopefully everyone sees that: a) all of these development tools work if installed correctly, and b) they don't necessarily work if installed incorrectly. ;) I hope someone can learn from my mistakes.
