I had my ATT phone unlocked, and running 2.3.4, and iwanted to update it with latest pudding

can I just flash the SBF, run the OEM Unlock command again (although its unlocked)

and all will work?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PakaPakaxz:
You just need to run the new pudding sbf, your bootloader will stay unlocked.

Open RSDLite and flash the new pudding, thats it :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rredlin:
I dont see the link to d/l just the update?

EDIT: so just run the new complete file in rsd and no wipe?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PakaPakaxz:
For at&t : http://diamantephoto.com/pudding.rar

You don't need to run the 1.83 with pudding again, only the Unlock SBF if you already unlocked your bootloader.

Just run RSDLite and select this little SBF file.

"5. Use at your own risk. Have a backup phone, insurance plan or other means of recovering from a possible brick or loss of functionality. You are using experimental software at your own risk."

HEEELLLPPPP with this part of the first post. So if i have the insurance plan with ATT and if it bricks i should be good to get a new one just pay the deductible right?

Origins

So, I have a question about this, which I have certainly used. Where did this come from? Did someone actually unlock the encryption on the Atrix itself, is this a leak from Motorola, or something officially put out by Motorola? I had assumed an official release, but realized that might not be true and am suitably curious about it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
it was included in a beta leaked version of the upcoming OTA of AT&T Gingerbread.

the dev's extracted the bootloader section of it (which allowed fastboot unlock commands) then released it for flashing, allowing us to unlock our devices.

so in summary, it's semi-official. it was software from Moto that allowed this, but then it was edited and released by the devs. hope that clears everything up.

I have unlocked my atrix,So that i can put any sim if i flash this firmware will it make it locked again plz tell me quick.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
I really don't know the answer to this, my guess is no it will not re-lock your sim. If it does you can probably use the same unlock code.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] edgeicator:
EDIT: It readded the install_recovery.sh when I flashed the update, so it kept reverting the recovery. Problem solved.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] divicos:
so if i never unlocked bl before, and still on ATT 1.83 Froyo, i can simply flash this and i'll get latest 2.3.4 plus bl unlocked plus root?? did i well understood? is it really so easy as it seems?:eek:

and of course it's safe, with no possibilities of bricking device if flash sbf back to froyo?

just for clarity.. was waiting the official update to unlock and upgrade, so i didn't care so much in evolution of the pudding procedures until now..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
ATT: If you have ever flashed 2.3.4 OTA / 2.3.4 stock sbf without pudding you are at risk of some kind of brick IF YOU DOWNGRADE. Other bricks are recoverable.

This new sbf I've uploaded doesnt magically root or unlock your phone, you still have to unlock via standard methods if you haven't unlocked before. If you have already unlocked it will preserve your unlock and save you from a soft brick. To root you need to install the /preinstall/frozenfish to /system/bin/su My dummy script for rooting is broken so you might have to read about how to do this, please don't ask as any moron can find out how to do this.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] divicos:
yep, that was already clear to me!! ;)

ok!! thank you.. it is clear now..

sorry for the dumb question, but seeing this AT TOP of the pudding thread may suggest that works like i guessed.. :p and i definitely prefer UNDERSTAND, before doing something..

so the right way is:

- unlock

- flash your sbf

- root via ADB with superuser.apk in /preinstall..

wow, it's anyway always easier than what we had until yesterday.. thanks!!

EDIT: done.. all worked fine..

Can I flash this??

Here is my scenario

I was on 1.83 rooted... pulled the OTA made available last night by Moto.. now I cannot get past the M logo with Dual Core. I can get into Fastboot, RSD etc... Just wondering if I can pull this and flash this without Brick.

I noticed in the OP that Bell_IHOP pudding has been updated, does that mean there's a permanent fix to the RAM issues for international users, or do I still need to worry about d00/1100 boot images?

Hey If I have the OTA installed already(2.3.4) do I have to flash the 2.3.4 sbf from the motorola site or Pudding?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Doggiepoo:
So I had a previous version of pudding, unlocked the phone, flashed Kennethpenn's 2.3.4 beta#4. Then I flashed the this latest pudding 4547-fix-try2.sbf using RSD Lite and I think I finished it but the last part asks you to "please manually boot up the phone". I'm not sure what to do at this point, the phone seems to be working and even after a reboot I still can't clear the status on RSD Lite.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

I have attached versions of Tenfar's CWM recovery with ram fixes for non ATT folks who have unlocked their bootloader and are currently using it.

The regular tenfar CWM recovery, and likely ROM Manager as well only leave you with 300MB of ram. You can test this by going into recovery, connecting via adb shell and typing:

cat /proc/meminfo | head -n 2

This is OK for some things but will run into problems with others, for instance if you want to flash a system image that is 320MB. Until everyone has a fixed CWM recovery, it is dangerous to use it to install anything substantial. Half the zip may install and abort due to lack of ram, which is a likely brick situation.

I am using Bell's GB kernel, but this is only used for recovery so it doesn't matter.

EDIT: Google translated into English and expanded. :)

~ # cat /proc/meminfo | head -n 2

MemTotal: 900852 kB

MemFree: 884648 kB​

Cheers!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] gogorman:
If I updated to 2.3.4 using the OTA ATT version from the Motorola Update Service, can I flash this? What advantages would that have? Is it possible?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
the advantages are an unlocked bootloader and preinstall root method.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gogorman:
Great. So can I update then, being that I have already updated earlier today using the Motorola Update Service? Or have I gone too far?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
If you've unlocked in the past you are completely safe to flash this even if you OTA'd. If you have not you will need to unlock and please read this post by eval-.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] frelnik:
Does this mean that with this CWM installed, international phones can use any kernel now? We don't have to worry about kernels with the RAM fix?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
I take that back, no he provided a CWM zip that applies ramfix. The wording confused me at first too.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] merkman:
Speaking of confused.

I was going to wait before trying to flash, so I knew Gingerbreak could root the phone. But I saw the download that indicated it had the image unlocked and pre-rooted, and it seemed safe enough... so I upgraded to the latest RSD Lite, downloaded it, and upgraded my phone.

At that point I had 2.3.4 with all my apps, but I couldn't run the dosu file in the preinstall folder using Terminal Emulator. I tried running restoresu, but that failed evertime. Concerned my phone might not be unlocked, I used the fastboot commands, and now I see unlocked when I hold the up button on power up. But I must have bumped the wrong thing, because my data wiped, and I had to re-enter my blur and google accounts.

Since then, I've noticed a TON more options with fastboot, not that I know what any of them are, and I STILL don't have SU ability. If I can just get rooted, I'll reinstall SQL Editor, get my tethering figured out, and deal with the new OS and it's differences. But atm, I'm tired, confused, and sorry I bothered with any of this. :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
yeah the script I wrote is broken, if dosu doesnt work for you just use /preinstall/su

sqlite3 and I believe busybox are also included on /preinstall if you wish to reinstall those at the same time.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nate_benji:
So this will fix the ram issues after the bell_ihop sbf flash?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] merkman:
Appreciate the reply man. Just tried that, and /preinstall/su says permission denied. If I'm unlocked, should that be working? And could I NOT be unlocked despite the phone saying it is when I boot up holding the volume key?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
you might need to reinstall/redownload super user apk ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] merkman:
God. Suppose the last time I tried to install it, I didn't have the unknown source checkbox on. Or maybe I wasn't unlocked yet. Now, SU is showing up in my apps list, and when I ran /preinstall/su, it came right up prompting me for rights! Gonna try BusyBox, and if that runs correctly... I should be back in business besides getting the tethering going. TY so much!!! :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Yes, for when you go into recovery, it has nothing to do with boot.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gogorman:
Ok, I have never unlocked the bootloader; just installed cwm and Gladiatrix.

(Speaking of which - when I updated OTA did that erase my cwm and root?)

So it IS possible? Are you referring to this section:

If you flash anything with Pudding after the OTA and you are still locked, you will see 0x1000. But it will be a soft-brick, and then your only choice will be to:

a) 'fastboot oem unlock' to continue.

or

b) flash this .sbf instead, and stay locked.

If so, what does that really mean for me?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] airbillion:
Default ATT MBR?

What is the default att mbr? I'm not sure what happened, but I unlocked my att atrix back in June when the unlock was first released. I have been playing with the various roms and kernels for a while. I am currently on Ninja 4.5 and faux's latest oc kernel, but I have the 320 meg ram problem and cat proc/cmdline says Tegrapart=d00. Is this the default att mbr or did I somehow swap out my att mbr for an international one? If I did how do I get back to the att mbr? Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mormy:
Sorry for the strange question, but if now is possible to use any kernel, it could be possible to use a modified version of this one?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mk1151:
My question as well.

I did the OTA upgrade, had not previously rooted or unlocked the bootloader (had hopes you could OEM unlock the version Moto released).

I found how to root - hopefully there will be an easier way coming soon (a la GingerBreak).

I want to know if you can still pudding your boot loader and unlock the thing...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fanhtc2:
Im in the same boat here, some dev can answer this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
yes but you will get 0x1000 error. Don't freak out, it will let you boot in to fasboot and unlock. In fact, if you boot directly into fastboot after flash you wont even seen the 0x1000 probably. This has worked for multiple people that flashed 2.3.4 official sbf or official OTA 2.3.4 . As always, not guaranteeing anything for your specific phone.

Hello.

I'm a bit confused here.

I've used RSDLite 5.3.1 to flash this over top of 1.8.3 (not fresh 2.2.3), it worked and it did install GB 2.3.4 WITHOUT loosing everything...I did several reboots, everything seemed to be working fine.

As soon as I did oem unlock it wiped everything out, leaving fresh GB 2.3.4 :eek:

Basically we could have had GB2.3.4 without boot unlocker?!:confused:

Sorry for the noob question here but im rooted with gladroot and i updated OTA to 1.8.3 didnt update to the next one cuz was worried i would ruin something. I tried a few methods using rsd to patch a spf to allow me to unlock my bootloader in fastboot. But it wont work i keep on getting FAILED. Yes i have the drivers installed. I placed the phone in RSD mode and the spf didnt work. used different unlock files from the few tutorials out there and still no luck.

How do i go about installing gingerbread while keeping root and unlocking my bootloader?

TIA for the help.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
Absolutely. Boot unlocker is only useful for 2 things right now: custom kernels and fastboot flashing single partitions (actually those two reasons just boil down to the latter). Many people don't realize that this is all it does for some reason.

2.3.4 could be installed with 2nd init and locked bootloader even before we had a full sbf/ota. Now that the software is official really the only reason is for custom kernels and a good way to backup/restore via fastboot.

RSD mode eh? check the instructions again?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Medic97:
[/QUOTE]RSD mode eh? check the instructions again?[/QUOTE]

Well yes RSD mode since one the methods told me i needed to use RSD lite in order to patch a spf file to allow me to use fastboot to unlock bootloader. When i try to use fastboot all i get is

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Marcb:
if you mean the official OTA, it will update your bootloader, locking it again, so if you try to use RSD to flash any FROYO SBFs, you'll get a brick!

Whatever you are doing it is all wrong. This is a very simple procedure. 1) you flash the sbf for either ATT or international. 2) you reboot into fastboot mode and fastboot oem unlock 3) reinstall root

the specific instructions are out there in other threads.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Medic97:
Thanks i am up and running. After i unlocked my bootloader and loaded cwm for some reason i lost root and then cmw wouldnt stay on the device every reboot it was gone again. So i ran you 1.8.3 sbf as i read that running the 2.3.4 sbf will make it impossible to downgrade. Relfashed cmw and now im good to go. Waiting for a gingerbread rom to finish d/l so i can flash it in cmw. Thanks for your patients.

As you mention "the specific instructions are out there in other threads" That is what makes it so confusing for reg ppl. Someone needs to write this up in plain english with step by step from out of the box to fully updated.

So.. I downloaded the ATT-2.3.4_Pudding_preroot.rar and un-rar'd the sbf. I followed the instructions and successfully unlocked the bootloader (woot!) but I'm a bit baffled as to how this sbf includes root? I understand the fastboot root instructions, but it seems like I still need to download the file from there in order for it to work. Is that correct? I couldn't see any way to follow the rooting instructions given just the sbf... and after letting it boot all the way up, it doesn't appear I have root (at least, Titanium Backup doesn't think so.)

Lordy! I figured it out.

After unlocking and whatnot and getting into 2.3.4. I installed Android Terminal Emulator from the Android Market and loaded it up. Then I was able to cd into /preinstall, run su, remount /system as rw, and copy over su. Chmod su to 6755, then I went ahead and installed the apk.

HOORAY! Now I can restore and go to bed.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
This was a pain in the **** when you're in a hurry to unlock the beast; to make it clear, the "Unlock SBF file" extracts as "zomgunlock-lite" which RSD doesn't recognise as it doesn't have the SBF extension. Rename it to "zomgunlock-lite.sbf" and then load it.

Bust my nerves while rushing to do everything quickly.. :o

Your phone is still unlocked. Flash a newer (leaked!) bootloader and you will see the "Unlocked" again. No knowing whether we can re-lock, notice:

$ sudo ./moto-fastboot oem lock

Since we haven't determined the implementation, it could well be this process is irreversible, as they claim.
