Ill try and flash France SBF again and hopefully this will sole the problem.

I red in QA section that a user had the same problem just after flashing the sfb before unlocking the bootloader so must be Unlocking SBF problem.

For any other person who have already done this any problems ???

and one more thing after u flashed orange 4.2.0 do u ragain full ram access again ???
[Atrix 4G Android Development] eval-:
EDIT: Call for testing over. Something more difficult will have to be tried... =(

If you are using a 2.3.x /system, like from this link:

http://bandbinnovations.com/xda/gingerbread/Gingerbread-4.5.91.zip

And you have the memory issue, please PM me for a link to an experimental boot.img you can flash to (perhaps, maybe) get your memory back. Or maybe just have a frozen boot =p But either way, you won't (hard) brick, promise...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
Or come on irc, feel free to bug me... at least for a little while. Can walk a couple people through it to test.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
Just flashed French retail SBF and every thing is back to normal, got back full 818MB of ram.

I have one simple question have i lost unlocked bootloader or i still have it ? cos Unlocked message from main screen is disappeared.

Jugging from little research BootLoader unlocking is permanent (AWESOME).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] eval-:
This confirms what I have always thought... it is SAFE for users of international pudding to flash back to older .sbf and it WILL recover the 'lost' RAM. Thanks for testing! It looks like this international bootloader with unlock comes with some strings attached, in that it cannot properly determine the ATAG_MEM. Whether a /pds hack or a kernel hack is required remains to be seen, neither are trivial.

Some patience will be required if you want unlock AND full RAM. Sorry!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] adlx.xda:
I've tried that: plug in the wall outlet, w/o battery (won't power on), then plug battery in: won't power on either. No led, no screen output at least.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tsouza:
eval-, just to confirm, if flashing older SBF, unlock won't be lost, right?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Marcb:
I believe flashing any official SBF will overwrite the bootloader and lock it again!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] y2whisper:
Sounds like it will. so right now thats the trade off until it can be figured out. unlocked with less free ram. locked with more free ram.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tsouza:
Are you sure? Because, as far as I can remember, that's not what happened with ATT pudding... when flashing older SBF the only difference was the "Unlocked" label removal, but bootloader was still unlocked... could be wrong though
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
Yeah i agree with you, it is told repeatedly that flashing old firmware will just loos the UNLOCKED message, if u flash the Unlocking SBF again the message will reappear (Hoping that this will be the actual case).

Can any one shed any light on this matter ???

And one more thing there is a separate thread where developers are trying to figure out a way to re-lock bootloader for warranty clam or yada yada and if it was that easy to re-lock the bootloader then they are working hard for nothing (just a thought)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tsouza:
Totally agree with you...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kholk:
@the2dcour

Seen that you've added my kernel on your 1st post.

For avoiding false information, can you change "kholk's 1.8.3 Kernel" to "kholk's International Kernel"?

Just 'cause it works on every int'l ROM (Bell, AT&T, Retail etc.) but it shouldn't work on ATT's 1.8.3, I'm skipping that ROM 'cause it's useless IMHO.

Thanks!

Also: international users please check out eval-s thread if you're looking for a memory bug fix as well as a spiffy 2.3.4 install.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Daniel_GB:
do we have ram problem after flashing IHOP_Bell on froyo or this problem will happen after upgrading to 2.3.4 only ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
There is a ram problem on all international builds after using IHOP_Bell, right now the only solutions are to a) flash a stock/locked bootloader or b) upgrade to GB and use the custom kernel etc.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
I've been too lazy to unlock my BL yet...I was gonna flash to 1.8.3 just for fun, but then I started reading these directions...When I flash the unlock sbf, does it include a CLEAN 1.8.3 sbf as well?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
only if you download the full sbf (there is a link) if you download the 1mb file its not a full sbf ;) yes it is clean (except it has the modified bootloader)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Of course :) This should kill two birds with one stone now, haha. Thanks for the help, and thanks again for all the great work you've done here!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Sorry for the double posts, but I just flashed the full sbf, and it seemed to go just fine. But when my phone rebooted all my apps and everything were still there? It caused some problems because a lot of apps were slightly screwed up so my phone slowed to a crawl...I quickly did a factory reset, and now it's rebooting. I haven't unlocked the BL yet.

Are these things normal or have I ruined everything lol? After the SBF I was kind of expecting it to be as if I had turned the phone on for the first time (I haven't flashed an sbf before).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nachin:
Hi everyone, I´m from Argentina and I have to tell you that is work perfect the unlock bootloader on my Motorola Atrix from "Personal", including the RAM patch, now I got 900mb of RAM again.

Thank you people so much!!!!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] carlos20h:
By any chance could you give me a link to a guide to root my phone?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
There a nice little link in the OP ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] carlos20h:
When i try to run cat /sys/firmware/fuses/ReservedOdm it said

no such file or directory

what i am doing wrong?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] carlos20h:
Sorry now is working it said

will that work?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
yes it should
[Atrix 4G Android Development] carlos20h:
Back to stock

Is there any way yo go Back to stock after doing this? To the way out of the box
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
kind of, you can flash back to a sbf from before unlock and it will not display unlocked but your fuse will still be blown.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] khoaitaychienvn:
I dont know if anyone wanna know this but my Korean Atrix can be unlocked with Bell IHOP. Great thank to you all, guys!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
Thanks for the info, I am going to assume for now that you have the ram issue as well and that the fix for the ram worked.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] prince_72:
Hi

I just unlocked my Bell Atrix and I flashed the Orange tegrapart D000

since I have the D tegra part. I think this will fix the 384M memory.

Now I also flashed the tenfar CWM recovery and everything is fine.

I rebooted to recovery and I flashed the two available GB but my device

does not boot to GB. It stays to the bootloader screen says the device is unlocked.

Of course I have control to the recovery and to all boot options.

Now what else should I do in order to have GB on my Bell Atrix.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jzaslice:
please confirm. ATT atrix, locked BL

hey everybody i know ive been reading for a week now everything thats been going on and the different scenarios people have been in but ive read some mixed comments about the situation im in, pretty simple tho.

ATT atrix, i updated (zip) to the Gingerbread ota that lead to all the hardbricks. i never touched my bootloader, never tasted pudding. but if i want to unlock my bl it is still safe to flash pudding with sbf following the "beginner giude" on briefmobile correct? and then from there just use the new CWM for which ever rom i wanna run?

how exactly do I unlock from here? (briefmobile has "if youre on gb already.." instructions but that was that older version of gb everyone

was

toying with)

any comments will be appreciated.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
you can still unlock via the standard way (flash and fastboot) but be warned, downgrading, flashing over your bl with incompatible bootloaders, and other things may become dangerous. at this point if you're running gingerbread i'd say wait till the official release comes out, then decide if you want to unlock.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pavankvn:
Edit: my phone is AT&T.

I was on the same boat as you..fresh ota 4.5.91 with locked bootloader. I just unlocked my bootloader successfully a few mins ago. I basically followed briefmobile instructions ..(I followed from step 1 because he meant HKTW GB). Here are the steps I followed :

1. Download pudding.rar and extract (1 mb file)

2. Put phone in rsd mode and open rsd on computer.

3. Select zomgupdate sbf file in the rsd program and connect your phone to the computer (I assume drivers are installed) and hit start.

4. Here I was a little panicked and thought I bricked my phone as I instantly got the error saying no os found and 1x0000. But it also said fast boot starting at the end after giving a list of options.

5. At this point continue briefmobile's guide to unlock. Open your cmd prompt in your computer and cd to your fastboot folder and type fastboot oem unlock.

6. Now you will see a warning with a device id. Again type fastboot oem unlock *****(your device id from previous step).

7. Your phone should say that you are unlocked.

8. Type fastboot reboot

At this point you will see unlocked on the top left corner of your phone screen with the red moto logo.

Again my phone was stuck at this screen for a longtime. So typed fastboot reboot again and it booted fine into my 2.3.4 (4.5.91) gb very fresh. I lost all the data (which is to be expected).. and started fresh.

These are steps I followed and it worked for me... my next plan is to install tenfars cwm and rooting.

Hope this helps.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jzaslice:
yeah thats what ive been thinking and planning on doing. just wait it out, but wanted to know if i could still unlock. thank you very much!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jzaslice:
definitely helps ill remember this if i decide to unlock, thanks pavankvn
[Atrix 4G Android Development] w4kk0:
Confirmed!

Work fine for Brazilian Atrix, Claro Carrier
[Atrix 4G Android Development] eval-:
These instructions are exactly right. Bootloader from 4.5.91 will only 'soft' brick with Pudding, not hard brick and make your phone a paperweight, like if you ever tried to .sbf back to 1.8.3 or earlier. I hope NO ONE is still OTA'ing this 4.5.91 .zip (the 'official' way) and that all of you who have, and

see the evil '3' when you open or cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm (as root)

keep in mind that currently the only safe .sbf is one that includes Pudding, and that you have no choice but to unlock (or stay on official, locked, 4.5.91 ... forever? Remains to be seen whether the SOAK bootloader will brick you or tolerate your burned fuse... or do the same evil thing to the ReservedOdm fuse too! Hopefully IF SO they will be very explicit in the release notes that it breaks all downgrades) Meanwhile, we should feel VERY lucky that Pudding (4.5.4x) bootloader drops you into fastboot and not nvflash!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] carlos20h:
After Doing this if in the future Motorola publish the oficial version of GingerBread is there any chance to install it?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Barogi44:
I have a bell atrix on 2.1.1 french rom. Can i unlock as is or must i go to latest official bell rom first?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
you can unlock as is

yes, the dev's will get their hands on the OTA, and extract any parts of it that will be harmful to your device (updated BL that could cause hard brick) and then they will post it here for you to install safely.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dmbrown81:
Sorry if this has been asked before but is there anyway to remove the "unlocked" message on the start up screen? I'm getting a replacement phone from att
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kanemari:
so ive searched many threads and still not seen a definitive answer for this, but there must be one because otherwise it doesnt make any sense...

i have an international atrix and have unlocked it, but flashed an official SBF because of the ram issue. now there is a ram fix, but it only seems to work on GB roms and not Froyo... i dont want GB yet because its still buggy.

BUT! kholk has posted an OC kernel where he has both a GB and Froyo kernel version and recommends the FR build as the most stable for Froyo.

so does that mean everyone on that kernel is using it with 300mb ram? surely not...

that means there needs to be a ram fix for unlocked Froyo, but if that is the case then where the hell is it posted!!!?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
if you haven't installed any custom 2.3.4 ROMs then you don't have the RAM issue, it only occured due to some subtle hardware differences between INTL devices when people tried to flash purely AT&T kernels and systems.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krypt0se:
I can confirm this working on Singapore (Starhub) branded device. My two cents...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
BUMP, everyone should update pudding for memory timing fixes. Thanks to gizmo for noticing and eval- for finding out how to fix.

For future reference I will keep the Updated: tag in the title current for major updates/fixes to pudding only.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LayzeeEyez:
So we just re-flash pudding and thats it right? Just making sure :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
yes, just reflash pudding if you've already unlocked.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Will of fire:
Hi guys i have a question i unlocked my bootloaders about a month ago with the tutorial that was out over at briefmobile and havent done anything since. DO i need to do anything to my phone a update to the unlock or can i leave it as it is? Sorry for the questions, im coming from a Samsung captivate so the Atrix is new to me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] t.s.eliot:
I am running an unlocked AT&T Atrix with the leaked "official" build for 2.3.4. I have no modifications other than the faux123 overclock kernel. I think my phone also has the "blown fuse", but I just wanted to report that I had no issues with an updated RSD flash of the new unlocker file.

(My ADB output below)

# cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm

cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm

10000000000010001000300004000

For some reason, the flash didn't delete any of my user data or programs. Not that I'm complaining, I just wanted to share an accurate report.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kanemari:
not true. if you have an intl device and flash a pure at&t rom you soft brick your phone. the intl unlock results in 300mb ram and i know this because i havent flashed any GB roms yet and i am left with 300mb of ram.

the orange FR GB rom isnt made for at&t and if you dont use the ram fix you get left with 300mb of ram as well, so what youre saying doesnt make sense. the only thing is that there is a fix for the GB roms, but cant find anything for froyo.

it could be missed since no one would really bother unlocking their phone if they didnt want to put GB on it, then to downgrade you need to flash a motorola sbf which fixes the problem anyway. but someone who wants a simple OC kernel on froyo seems to be stuck...?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Barogi44:
Is it necessary to redo the fastboot steps for the new IHOP files or just flash the .sbf?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] carlos20h:
Question

If i already have unlocked my device and install OrangeFR with the Fix for the ram i need to falsh again the .sbf? if i have i am going to lose my application do i need to install again the rom?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PakaPakaxz:
Already unlocked with CherryBlur V1.2, so just flash with RSDLite this SBF file : 4547-fix-try2 ??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Andrew149:
Guys just flashed this on my att atrix just flash this over the exsisting pudding it will not wipe anything
[Atrix 4G Android Development] carlos20h:
What is the advantage of this ??

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] droid_does:
this

I didn't really catch up after I unlocked my atrix god knows how long ago :p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
What it does:

Fix incorrect memory timing settings

What it doesn't:

Cure AIDS, cancer, or solve global warming. There may be other things that it also doesn't do.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
That's unfortunate it doesn't solve those... I was hoping it did. You're the worst dev ever!!11

Haha but really, I haven't been following this thread since I unlocked, what are these memory timing issues you speak of? And once we flash the new SBF with RSDlite we're good to go; no extra fastboot commands or anything, no data wipe, no reinstall whatever mods we have on our phone?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
flash and forget. it's that easy.

memory timing issues haven't caused anybody any grief afaik. It's good to update just to keep your phone's system sane.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Awesome, thanks for the updates then!

Flashing from Pudsies to IHOPudsies

My phone: 2.3.4 (4.5.91) USA-ATT

Flashed the SBF, during the flash my phone rebooted etc...and actually booted up completely during flash , however RSD never said completed, but was at 100%.

Closed RSD,unplugged USB cable and rebooted, everything seems to be fine.

(Q) Why didnt RSD say completed?

(Q2) What version of bootloader should RSD say I have? (currently says something to the effect of "x00007")

Im sure it went as planned, but really how can we check the version of our bootloaders so I can see if this has been effective?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
If your phone reboots after flash it is already 100% done. the RSD indicator is bullkaka. The bootloader version # is also bullkaka.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
if you have time at a PC with RSD on it, you may as well flash the newest pudding, it has a couple fixes (not that there were really any problems with the older version) and it won't mess with any of your settings or anything, so why not?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] speedmax:
Do I need to do the 300m memory trick after the pudding?

Thanks,

[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
no you don't
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
I'm on AT&T and didn't think I had a memory issue after bl unlock.. but I have a widget that reports memory available and it consistently hangs around 300. Is this normal?

I have a screen from setcpu with more stats..can anyone confirm if these are about normal for the phone? I mean obviously my running processes take up some of the ram, but 600mb of it?? (Says I have 900 total, which seems right)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rjohnstone:
Your phone is fine.

It's the total memory that gets messed up.

And don't feel bad, mine says I only have about 200MB free.

Yes, I run a lot of crap. :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Sweet deal then :D

Thanks for the assurance!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dlazer:
If I have stock 1.83 (still locked), should I go ahead with Motorola's OTA android 2.3 update, or is that a bad idea?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Well, I don't believe the update is even out yet? I would probably just unlock your bootloader now while you know it's possible. They said a new update would have an unlock, but I wouldn't trust them. If you do it now, you can get the 4.5.91 leaked ROM, which is the Gingerbread update anyway. And when the REAL OTA comes out, if it's better, I'm sure someone will turn it into a ROM for you to use anyway, but at that time you'll still be unlocked and ready to flash something else if you so desire :cool:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dlazer:
It's not out yet. I'm content with 1.83 for the time being. Basically, I'm wondering if I should go with the OTA update (when it gets released), or not. Is there a downside doing that?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
There shouldn't be, as long as Moto doesn't somehow prevent the bootloader from being unlocked in the update. What I'm suggesting is unlocking now - you can remain on 1.8.3 and be content as you say, and since I'm sure the upcoming OTA will be turned into a flashable ROM at some point, you could enjoy it by those means instead, all the while knowing you have an unlocked bootloader still and can change your mind and flash another ROM at any time.

I have my doubts that the upcoming GB update will open up that unlock option right away, and you could be stuck using Moto's stock ROM's ONLY until something else is figured out.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] minniecafe:
Hi Brothers! Mine is a Bell Atrix and I am able to unlock my bootloader, I have two problems can solved:

- It only show 153 mb free ram instead of 500 mb after the latest pudding SBF through RSD.

- I am not able to flash CWM recovery, during fastboot mode to flash it, my phone display error 505. Try to use the App Rom Manager to install CWM recovery, its able to get into CWM recovery mode but can't flash any Gingerbread rom, any suggestions I can do?

Thanks a lot!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] keidin33:
I am a new Atrix user in Hong Kong. I just upgraded to 4.0.560 (Android version 2.2.2). Does it suitable to unlock the bootloader and flash to 2.3.4??

What version do you have before you flash 2.3.4??

Gideon
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nsourm:
flash update

Sorry for my silly question.Do i have to flash the update with rsdlite?I'm on 2.3.4. not through OTA and i have already unlocked it with the first version.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
It would be useful to see what your odm fuse looks like. Please root your phone and do this for me:

adb shell (or terminal emulator / root explorer)

su

cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm

and show the results?

I know someone in China has recently bricked. You should be extra careful.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] keidin33:
Look like it can not be rooted after upgrade to firmware version 4.0.560. I tried both superoneclickroot and gingerbreak, but both no go. Have to wait and see any other way to root it.

Gideon
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
yup, you flash the pudding via RSD
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zoso28:
So can someone elaborate on who should and shouldn't update? I unlocked before the memory fix but I've always showed 900mb total, so that's obviously not a problem. I stayed on .83 until the ROMs started showing up, but is there a need to update this even though i'm unlocked and already running ROMs? And is the timing issue only on international Atrixs? It seems like the update won't delete anything but still, if it ain't broke...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bluemoko:
Please add to the list on first post that Atrix retail in Thailand can unlock bootloader fine with international method

So far is fine with 2.2.2 havn't try flashing any rom yet.

I'm going to assume that you had to apply the memory fix as well until I hear otherwise. Thanks!
