humm... I wonder too.. If he just pulled the part of the Chinese .sbf out that allowed for unlocking the bootloader, and then you flashed it on top of the original 1.83 sbf to add "unlockabitily"... Then it would stand to reason that re-flashing back to the original 1.83 sbf would no longer incorporate the new added parts... make sense at all??? I have no idea if that's what the OP did or not though... beyond my skill level

Also, since the upcoming OTA would have the "new" unlock code already built into the sbf then perhaps the future OTA will not revert every time you flash it. Just some food for thought... I'm probably totally wrong though.

Confirmed, i flashed the "pudding" sbf and unlocked appeared again without having to run the fastboot commands.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mgamerz:
The ota has no fastboot commands. Bl might be unlocked but im not sure how you can flash without fastboot or cwm.

Ota gb 2.3.4

This is an SBF and uses RSDLite, which doesn't require fastboot. I've already unlocked my own phone after setting it back to stock 2.2, then OTA'ing to 2.3.4, so I know this works just fine. I have unlocked, rooted and installed CWM once more. So, yes, this works.

Perhaps this question has been asked but there is no way im reading through the 400 pages in this thread..

It says in the OP that everyone should update their pudding...i'm either tired or still noobish...are we just plain flashing the file...no prep or anything needed?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] yiyo:
Was on 1.8.3 but I think I rsd the wrong pudding I flashed the 2.3.4 but was on 1.8.3 everytime I try to load a custom rom it gets into a bootloop at the motor logo can I rsd the 1.8.3 pudding to maybe try to fix it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] farrakon:
I read through most pages and have not seen an answer to my question... I did the unlock on 1.8.3 then rooted, installed unlocked recovery and installed cherryblur with 2.3.4.... What file must I use to 'update' the pudding now that I have the latest gingerbread?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] shinewithme:

i need help trying to unlock bootloader....cmd keeps closing when i type fastboot oem unlock....my phone says "unlocking your device may void your warranty" and thats where im stuck, someone help plz
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
If you'e unlocked just flash the update and you're done.

Try it and find out. You aren't on 2.3.4, why?

Also this is a point of contention with me. There are no ROMs for our phone yet. I don't know when we floated away from calling them P-ROMs, but I don't like it.

<rant>What is a ROM you ask? It's open to interpretation obviously. If you ask me, it has to include a custom kernel (custom, not hacked moto code). Secondly, it has do take advantage of that custom kernel in some way. If it doesn't do both of those, it is not a ROM in my eyes. </rant>

If you are truly on 2.3.4 (not just some random hack that installs /system and /osh), then use the 2.3.4 one, otherwise use 1.8.3. In reality it probably doesnt matter all that much.

Use Google.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] yiyo:
i tried to use cherryblur but kept going in a bootloop and then i tried kenns rom and never really went to the next moto logo and i did clear cache and also dalvik i also tried the one method -w? thats why i keep on thinking that maybe i installed the wrong unlock sbf i have it working right now with 2.3.4 unlock root preinstall but i want to just use that i prefer using cwm to load roms instead of just sbf's. thanks for responding.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
Well something or other in those "roms" was obviously interfering with your phone. You can install cwm now and do whatever you want. It should not cause any problems at all.

Sorry for n00bish question`

But for stock locked OTA to 2.3 AT&T phone (but rooted), I just RSDlite the following SBF right (using the briefmobile method?)

http://diamantephoto.com/trololol-unlock234.rar

Do I need to re-install my ROM, radio etc. after that or is it untouched aside from data loss? Do I lose root? I plan on using titanium to restore.

Sorry for the question but seriously too much info (yes I've tried reading it all)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] StyleUkno:
I have the same question as you but no one seems to want to help me...Im on the official 2.3.4 GB OTA update pushed to phones by ATT...the only thing that i have done to my phone is root it via pre-install method. To unlock the bootloader what do we do use, the one thats on the very first post and RSD to 2.3.4 .sbf with pudding and root??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wintermute000:
I think the 600Mb full RSD installs the entire OS/radio/bootloader etc.

whilst the one I linked is only 10Mb and only unlocks the BL?

Thats my impression but its not entirely clear
[Atrix 4G Android Development] abhi897:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:

Sounds like a build.prop issue. If you've installed some kind of "rom" I'd ask in the thread over there.

You will lose everything in /data after unlock, that is all. Yes that is the correct file. yes use ken's guide.

See above

No I'm still on the official 2.2.2 No rome yet. Also when i go to recovery to flash a ROM after a few sec(after clicking android recovery) i get an android symbol with an ! mark. ?????? Totally lost here. Pls help
[Atrix 4G Android Development] epoh:
Has anyone else experienced network issues after using the full at&t sbf + pudding/preinstall root? I thought maybe my TiBu restore had messed something up, so I did a full memory wipe and just reloaded everything manually... still having network problems.

Sometimes going into airplane mode and back out will fix it for a short while. I also re-created the HSDPA connection and switching between that and the orig HSDPA will sometimes fix it for a short while... but nothing actually FIXES the network for real.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
So let me get this straight, you went from a totally stock ATT 1.8.3 (ie 2.2.2 froyo) flashed 183_pudding and now you get the error you described? Forgive my skepticism but that would make you a 1/thousands case. Please be in contact via PM so we don't clutter up this thread some more.

You could try flashing the official SBF from ATT/Moto and see if it fixes anything. If it doesn't then your problem is not pudding related.

Do i need to flash pudding if i already unlocked?

Hi,

I am new to this forum, i read all the OP post and followed the nood guide to flash the small .sbf file and then run command fastboot oen unlock to unlock the bootloader, then the next portion was for unlock, if i already unlocked bootloader do i still need to flash the huge .sbf file from the original post ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] epoh:
You should be unlocked now. The larger sbf is to flash the ROM, either 2.2 froyo or 2.3.4 gingerbread. You can put whatever rom you want on it now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] umarali:

Boot loop

Ok so I did pudding to unlock when I moved from 1.83 to 2.3.4. I've mucked around a bunch and wanted to do a fresh install, DL'd the ATT pudding (600+MB unpaks to 1.6GB) flash it to my phone with RSDlite 5.3.1. It seems fine all the way through the flash, the last step it says rebooting, and increases by 3% then the phone bootloops and does it again, only increasing by 3% each time.

It finnishes with ,reboot manually. and the phone just bootloops.

Any ideas What is going on?

If you are just trying to root, I answered your question in the other thread you asked: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16293075&postcount=130 . If you are trying to unlock the BL, then you should use the link on the first page of this thread: http://diamantephoto.com/pudding.rar . It is safe to use this on 5.91, OTA or otherwise. You just should not SBF to anything lower than 5.91, unless it has the pudding built into the SBF.

Hey guys, sorry for the noob question here. If I'm reading the instructions correctly, in order to unlock the bootloader and root my BELL version of the phone from Canada with stock Froyo 2.2.2, do I just follow the "guide for beginners" from http://goo.gl/vfUXc and instead of using the SBF file from that site use the updated "IHOP" SBF file provided on the first page of this thread?

And please correct me if I were wrong. After the Bootloader is unlocked, I then root the phone following this guide and flash the "preinstall" file (from the second post) and voila I'm done?

And lastly, I noticed that the IHOP SBF file was update on July 19th to "fix memory timing issues", does that mean there's no need to follow the "Tentative ram fix for 2.3.x unlocked international users" anymore? Or do I still follow through that link and flash the "Orange FR 2.3.4" images to my phone? I'm a bit confused with this step since I'm still running Froyo 2.2.2.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Haphim:
I've got a few questions about the recommended root and unlock method (by brandon15811), if someone will be kind enough to help clarify for me.

If it's important, I'm running Win 7 x64. And just to clarify, I want to end up with 2.3.4, both rooted as well as unlocked.

1. If I start with 2.3.4 (either that shipped that way, or via OTA), do I flash the 2.3.4 SBF on the first post, or do I skip that step?

2. For a phone running 1.83, is it recommended to update to 2.3.4 via the OTA before using this method to root and unlock? Or do I just grab the "Full 2.3.4 with preinstall root and pudding bootloader unlock, full sbf" and use that?

I recall reading that 2.3.4 OTA changes partition sizes. If I start with 1.83 and this SBF and method, will that change the partition sizes in the same way? If not, which way is better? I would think that if they changed partition sizes, it was for a reason.

3. Which drivers do I need? I'm currently using the standard Motorola drivers that consumers download with MotoHelper. Is that correct, or do I need a different set?

4. If I need to do a factory reset at somepoint after all this is done, do I have to do it all over again, or will I maintain root and unlock?
