These are the steps i took to get back to the Stock bell rom. I take no credit for this method, NFHimself made the scripts, and mods for deodexing.

This takes an hour at least.. Make sure your battery is FULLY charged, Do a backup first as well to save your sd card contents.. You have to do a factory reset after the process is complete.

1)reinstall a fresh sbf of the french 2.1.1 and login to motoblur. French sbf can be found in this thread, Close to the bottom of the page.

2) enable usb debugging.. menu, settings, applications, development, then check usb debugging

3) go to NFHimselfs deodex/mod thread here

4)download Version 9, and extract it to your computer

5)Run the menu.bat file

6) choose the root option. and follow the instructions. If it doesn't complete successfully, unroot and try again. Took me a couple times to get my phone rooted properly.

7) once root is complete, choose restore phone. This will automatically download the files needed to get you back to the stock rom. It will take a little bit of time to download, so have a drink or smoke or something.

The restore will take an hour or so to complete. Be patient.

I got to the point where it said waiting for phone to shutdown, so i pulled the battery and did it manually. Once my phone booted back up again, it was on the stock bell rom.

Thanks to all who helped me! Y2whisper and kieller from the support.motorola forums.

Don't forget to thank NFHimself.

NOTE: I had to do a factory reset to get the Market app back.

I managed to get the bell update with no problems!
[Atrix 4G General] dillfever:
right on I was wondering how I would get back to the stock Bell.....I'm running the French 2.1.1, so when the time comes I can sit back for an hour or so and bring the phone back to stock...........yaaaahoooo......
[Atrix 4G General] dillfever:
nate_benji were you on the french 2.1.1 before you did this?? cause I'm on 2.1.1 and I am rooted, just wondering if I have to do all over... flashing 2.1.1 again and root??? but I guess it can't hurt with a fresh install......guess I'm getting lazy in my old age...lol
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
Yes, i was on the french 2.1.1. The only reason i did a fresh install of the french 2.1.1 sbf is because the rooting method is a little different than using gingerbreak. I tried with a normal root, but it didn't work. NFHimself's mod/deodex application has the root option built in. That's what I used, and it worked well.
[Atrix 4G General] YBrazeau:
What's the benifit over the french 2.2.1 ???
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
The new update, I presume.

If I get bored between now and an international release or leak of GB then perhaps I'll give this a shot too. Thanks for sharing it, guys! Great work as always.
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
The benefit is you get the bell updates, who knows when the other carriers will release the gingerbread updates. Mind you bell is slow at releasing anything..
[Atrix 4G General] dillfever:
Thanks nate, then when the time comes that's exactly what I shall do......
[Atrix 4G General] Ratchet556:
The biggest benefit of this would probably be that when you do this it would be really hard to tell if you ever modded the phone. Also Bell is likely to get the Gingerbread update before people in Europe.

I am doing a restore and got a tar crc error and a error on restoring mmcblk0p3 - should i wait till it finish .....i don't like the the crc error..thanks:confused: 1 done cat /data/local... ! bus error shsu (no boot) failed to boot 2 ...starting rsd mode, reflashing now...anyone know why there is a crc fail..
[Atrix 4G General] fearthefox:
Could it be possible to get a direct link to the French 2.2.1 sbf, this way everything needed is in one location?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] davisx:
I am having this exact same issue. Is the mmcblk0p3 file that is included within the backup_OLYLA_U4_0.37.4.tar.gz that NFHimself posted possible corrupt?
[Atrix 4G General] Ratchet556:
I don't think so. i did it from a fresh flash of 2.1.1 and it worked fine. you just have to make sure you rooted using his scripts. that was a problem i was having using his app before i used these scripts.
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
I had that too i believe. Not sure why mmcblk03 failed, but all the rest passed for me. Did you re-sbf and try it again?
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
I updated the original post, with a link to another thread that has a list of all known atrix sbf's. The french one is close to the bottom of the list.
[Atrix 4G General] fearthefox:
Is this the one you are referring to...

Branding: Retail France

Version: 2.1.1 Full

Android Version: 2.2.2

Bootloader Version: N/A

Webtop version: N/A

Requires RSD Lite 5.0.0

Requires Moto Android (De)packer 1.3 to edit.

As you opening post says french 2.2.1 and I cannot find that on the page you linked to.
[Atrix 4G General] capercb:
Ya I got it but really weird ..notice when the program expands there is no mmcblk03 in the file also when it finish it keep coming up as timeout so I removed it from usb and pulled out the battery restarted and dl the update..It seems like a good update so far..ty
[Atrix 4G General] NFHimself:
Hi,

I removed partition 3 from the backup, it's your Motorola pds partition, it's not necessary to get back to stock, there are no sbf files that overwrite it. I also updated the atrix mods app to not reference partition 3.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
Awesome! Thanks for creating the scripts, and the app. Made it possible to get me back to the stock bell rom, without a cwm backup. Now that reminds me, time to root, install cwm and do a backup!

Thanks again NFHimself..
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
Sorry thats a typo, it should be

2.1.1
[Atrix 4G General] capercb:
:)thanks works great , everythig is workin even after the update , i was running gingerblur and greyblur but with this update i will be sticking to stock ( or almost stock ) thanks again..ran your new script (PERFECTION)
[Atrix 4G General] TwistedWaffle:
I seem to be having the same issue as stated in previous replies.

After rooting and running the script, it gives an error to one of the files.

So I have just reapplied the French SPF, to have a working phone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] capercb:
reload french SPF then run NFHimself script...what you have to watch out for is NFHimself script when downloaded the first time will stay on your internal storage .i know when i dl the first time (before he change the script ) it was on my internal sd so i thought i dl the new script.if u notice he said to reformat the internal sd...i hope this will help u , i know when i dl the new script it went off without a hitch..;) try it , if u do not understand what i am saying pm me
[Atrix 4G General] aa5if:
Thank you..worked perfectly
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
I put up a howto flawless bell update guide like 3 days after the update was released. Le sigh. I just hope all these devs are working on an OC kernel
[Atrix 4G General] papakilo10:
Thanks to nate_benji, NFHimself and seven2099 for the instructions, code and original French SBF flashing guide.

My phone is now on the new Bell patch!

As others have mentioned, you need to be patient. I'm on a fast ADSL connection and have a really fast PC. My update took about 90 minutes. Without the helpful advise here, I would have been worried that the update had gone wrong...
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
I think they need to work on getting us an unlocked bootloader for the bell, and rest of the international phones. LOL It sucks that we always get left in the dust!
[Atrix 4G General] IrshaadH:
How long should the rooting step take? I've been stuck at "installing Gingerbreak, this may take a min or two" for the past 15 minutes.

EDIT: Nevermind! I just realized I needed to have an external SD card for Gingerbreak to work. I ran the restore script though and it didn't work, said a bunch of things failed...
[Atrix 4G General] IrshaadH:
Anything? ^^
[Atrix 4G General] Meor:
Do I need this to cleanup an unroot?

Hi. I'm glad I found this thread! :)

First my dilemma:

I have a Bell Atrix (was rooted, no other mods, no custom rom) that's having weird screen issues (ghost finger). I've discovered that others, with similar problems, have gotten their phone replaced. I want to bring my phone in to Bell but I'm afraid they'll know it was modded and they may void my warranty.

My phone's mod history:

I intially rooted with S1C but Bell's 2.2.2 update removed root. I tried S1C again but it didn't work. I then tried to root with aRoot but it did not work. I managed to get root with Gingerbreak. Last night I UNrooted with Gingerbreak and then did a factory reset. It appears that SU access is now removed and as far as *I* can tell, it's back to stock.

Now my questions:

1) Do I need to flash this .SBF to remove any traces of the phone being rooted?

2) This thread references an .SBF, found in the "Atrix Firmwares Superthread", that is titled "Retail France". Does this really get me back to a stock Bell Canada ENGLISH Atrix?
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
No, go to my thread in my signature to get to a nice stock bell firmware 2.2.2
[Atrix 4G General] Meor:
Hey. Thanks for the response.

Could you clarify: Is the answer is "no" to both my questions? Do I need to reflash to get back to stock? Or does Gingerbreak unroot cleanly?

(Apologies if this is being the issue to death; I just want to be sure I need to reflash.)
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
If you flash french sbf they will not repair your phone.

You need to install the stock system image for 2.2.2 bell and should perform a factory reset. You'll have to find it though, since there are no bell sbfs to flash you need to use the system.img

[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
What rom are you coming from? Was it rooted? You may have to flash the french sbf, then start from scratch. It worked for me, i went from gingerbread to the french 2.1.1 sbf, and then used NFHimself's root, and restore scripts. I'm actually in the middle of doing it over again. Gonna try to keep to the stock bell GB for a bit, without flashing the bell_IHOP.
[Atrix 4G General] pback:
There is no stock Bell GB out yet right, Guys?

I am confused, too much reading overload, I guess.
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
Yes there is, but it wasn't exactly published through official channels. I have the bell GB running on my phone right now as we speak.
[Atrix 4G General] Wond3r:
How do I install the official Bell GB update?

[HTC EVO 3D] PensFan66:
Sorry, I couldnt come up with a good topic subject. What Im hoping to find is a program like backgrounder for the iPhone. I didnt care about the the backgrounding function of the program, I used it to disable backgrounding on apps that I didnt want to stay in the background.

So, is there a program that, for example, pressing the home button for a few seconds will close the app, instead of backgrounding it?

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] vWvSTATICvWv:
Try autokiller memory optimizer. I've always ran it on my EvO. Instead of it hindering AOS, it helps it along, unlike ATK. Unfortunately we need root to run presets but you can go in and one-click the apps you don't want. I'm using it now just for that, but not @ it's fully potential @ the moment :(
[HTC EVO 3D] PensFan66:
Thanks - Yeah, I downloaded that early and notices without root that its "crippled" but its a start....

So today a fan fell over onto my dresser where my Galaxy Tab 10.1 from Google IO was charging and cracked the lower right hand side of the screen. Has anyone else had their screen crack and fixed it or talked to Samsung about it? It seems to still be working, but still, the screen is cracked.

And this happens today, while my case is set to be delivered tomorrow. Damn it.

Try this http://www.missionrepair.com/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10_1_s/688.htm

Could be expensive though as replacing the 7" GTab screen costs $180 (yeah I know.. might as well buy a new one or do it yourself). Don't see any digitizer part on ebay yet.

Just wanted to say.

1) So are you going to return the Best phone on the market hands down?

2) What other phone do you go too that will not have this issue?

I would love to be able to just say hay HTC unlock or else we no longer buy your product. But we are geeks. Unless there is something like this out that is able to be rooted from the beginning it's just not going to happen.

For me I love this phone. I have switch launchers and it's even better. I can wait for now to remove the extra bloat. And then get better kernels. But for now it's the very best out there.

Lets see if we can find a way to root. And not have to depend on HTC.
[HTC EVO 3D] djkraemer:
This thread is pointless and needs to be closed. For one, it's posted in the wrong section.

Secondly, the massive "Got Root" thread is loaded to the gills with emails to and from HTC, with HTC claiming that the bootloader will eventually be unlocked.

Personally, i don't see the point. Please close this thread.

It's a nice device & all but that's where it stops. I feel like if this phone isn't unlocked then its pointless to have. I love rooting and installing any custom Rom to my liking and being in control of my device. So HTC has less than 26 days to push an OTA to unlock the bootloader or I'm bringing back my 3d and reconnecting my Og EVO.
[HTC EVO 3D] nebenezer:
Yeah, all you wannabe hall-monitor dicks need to stfu.

Development on this device won't "really" get underway until this phone is unlocked.

Feedback from users is what caused HTC to even consider, then agree to unlock. Now they need to follow through and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see them try to wait us out and see if interest dies off.

Any of you that say you are here for the purpose or in the interest of developing for this phone then bash this thread should get your misguided heads out of your asses and get behind this so we can see REAL development here.

And any of you criticizing others for suggesting they'll return the phone if it stays locked: WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE?????

If it stays locked will it still be the baddest phone for a few months? YES.. THAT'S NOT THE POINT !!!

Get behind the cause or gtfo because if you're not concerned with this issue then YOU ARE A POSER AND HERE FOR THE WRONG REASONS.

I disagree entirely, look at the topics. There are a number of threads where people are actually attempting or discussing development. Think about it, just because there aren't a bunch of hacks and ROMs for us to download doesn't mean it isn't "development". It damn sure doesn't mean we should all start posting threads that are NOT development. We all know HTC promised something publicly, and is being ambigious in their email responses, and we're mad. I don't go into the general or q+a very much because they are full of crazy. The dev section ought to be less crazy, with more on point threads. Threads like this don't really help.

Thanks for voting folks. Keep the votes coming in.

I posted this in development because in the "general section" many folks there don't give a hoot about root.

Where folks in development (developer or not) do care about root.

But moderators decided to move it, no biggy.

Also I think folks are being a little naive.

This is ultimately SPRINTS decision!!

I'm sure Sprint put pressure on HTC to lock it. So even if HTC wants to unlock it, Sprint may not. Do you think Sprint wants folks running Hot Spot under the radar and service calls from *some* folks that don't know what they are doing with root.

It's up to Sprint if it's worth the headache of having potentially 100's of returns for the few that might abuse hot spot and some other features that root gives vs. lost sales.

I think Sprint should look the other way. I think it's more of win for them to let folks root. If it's a hot "Geek" phone it becomes a hot phone even without root too. If the Geek crowd gives it thumbs down it won't be as popular to general public. It's the geeks that buy it first too.
