Hi can you explain more please? What part doesn't work?

P.s I will be working on bugs and fixes tonight. Been busy since release.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tasty_boy:
THANNNNKS, it's being delicious!!!, and i gonna taste it very soon!!!!

just waiting the bugs blow away.....hehehe
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guidoido004:
i did everything exactly says, but it stays froyo, for some reason it doesnt installs gingerbread...

im thinking about other thing, what about if we flash this in recovery

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1142674

and after this, restore our own boot.img, would work? maybe making a mod of it with 2ndinit enabled for it run like in the unlocked bootloader ATT gingerbread

sorry for some things, im not used to have a phone locked like this, my dext runs cm7, and im only thinking in how to get this in my atrix too

edit: i think now may worked, BUT, my phone completelly discharged, having to recharge the battery in a universal battery charger, my phone dont even boot in charge mode only (like my dext, my atrix do this too)

edit2: i did something very wrong in my phone(idk what), it dont charge in wallcharger, dont charge in the dock, and the battery should be charged already, still not leaving the dualcore technology bootscreen, and turn off after sometime...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
make sure all files are in system/etc/rootfs/

make sure the 3 files are preinstall and set with right permissions.

am not to sure about the boot.img at the moment am looking into it tho
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TheSmokingAndroid:
Hi Steven.

First of all thank you very much for working on this with your team.

Second, I'm not sure if this thread is more for dev's than regular flashers like me but the instructions on the OP are very confusing to say the least....they seem simple because there isn't as many steps as there is for other methods for flashing things but i like to think im above noob status and i can't help thinking the instructions are vague at best for us non dev folks.

This is what confuses me:

Delete everything in /preinstall

push 2nd-init, taskset, busybox to /preinstall and chmod 755 for each file

push system.img to /preinstall

adb or copy BIN and ETC folders to /system/

reboot.....

Backup your data this is a must.

from terminal ls -a /sys/kernel/debug wont give any output.

reboot to fastboot (volume down then volume up)

type in CMD fastboot -w (if you dont do this you will get softbrick)

type fastboot reboot

Not to speak for the rest of the international Atrix community, but as much as we TRULY do appreciate the hard work, perhaps you could redo the instructions in a format that's more understandable and familiar for the rest of us no dev's.

I for one would like to play with this and perhaps make a Youtube video guide but reading those instructions is just short of chinese to me and i'm sure many others.

I do apologize if im sounding like a complaining noob but im just trying to get this simplified enough for the rest of us to test things out.

cheers in advance my friend!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
hope OP is a bit better to userstand, am still a noob at some of this stuff :p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TheSmokingAndroid:
Hey Steven! thanks for the revision's i really do appreciate it but i am still not confident enough with understanding the instructions.

I really hope im not being a pain in the ass because i for one would much rather you work on this project than trying to revise the instructions...

BUT if you did want to do some more revision's in the OP..=P perhaps dumbing it right down to a step by step format similar to seven2099's guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1070076.

In this format it was very easy to understand each and every step and how to preform every step.

Just some constructive criticism for thought.

Again thank you very much for taking the time to do all this!!! =)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guidoido004:
dude, if people do a nand backup of that ROM with updates, we can use the system.img of the backuo to have updates at our own right? since its the clean system.img. and for the wifi issues, we need to use the dhd.ko from our froyo kernel, this is a known thing since the cliq development

and to work you have to rename the system.img properly right?

one more thing, can we run a boot.img using 2ndinit?(noob question i bet)

PS: i know a lot of people may know what i said, but im just telling that, its a development tip, to try to make things right to all of us(forgotten atrix users).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TheSmokingAndroid:
eagerly waiting on updates if there are any?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
Dont need to wipe data inbetween rebooting of froyo and gingerbread
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guidoido004:
im going to do something to get updates, and fixes, ill be recording it, if works, ill post the video named HOW TO ok dude? i will rec using another atrix i have(i got 2, one my father is using, ill also getting a sensation, the sgs2 is too expensive...)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
Yeah no problem if it works great
[Atrix 4G Android Development] motopuk:
I have one question. When you talk to push sytem.img its with adb push or with moto-fastboot? Another, i should rename the complete system file name to just system.img? Boot.img it´s not used?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BravoMotorola:
I wonder why the camera isn't working...and maybe flashing that one wifi module will fix the wifi?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
use rootexplorer it easier and copy files that way, just use terminal to chmod the files in /preinstall
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
nope doesnt work dude
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tasty_boy:
sorry dude...

but which are the update you added? (minor update 04/07/11)

some bugs were solved?

thanks!

keep the amazing work!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] motopuk:
Do i have to replace the contents of /etc and /bin inside of /system with the files provided in the links or just do a merge? When you refer to push do you mean to adb push?

EDIT: Sorry i got it. Just pasted the contents of /etc and /bin inside corresponding paths inside /system. Rebooting and see what happens.

EDIT2: Ok passed the reboot successfully. ls -a /sys/kernel/debug shows empty. Are necessary the moto-fastboot commands? I rebooted tu Early USB Enumeration but no success.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] IrshaadH:
Will this interfere with me getting the official Gingerbread update when it comes out? If so, how can I get rid of this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
What happens when you goto early enumeration? Does it hang? Boot into froyo?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
Once offical GB is released. By rights you shouldn't need to do anything cause this doesn't modify your. System partitions. But if update fails just reflash sbf
[Atrix 4G Android Development] motopuk:
It´s booting FROYO. :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
You got system.img in preinstall? With 2nd-init busybox and taskset and chmod them files?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] motopuk:
Yes Sir I did that. Also put rootfs on /etc and mount_ext3.sh in /system/bin.

Rebooted into fastboot and did fastboot -w and then Early USB ennumeration.

Booting Froyo.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 4real*leb:
Okay I did everything according to the tutorial, then installed 2ndinit.apk, and repeated the tutorial again. At first it would boot into froyo after selecting usb enumeration, now it simply reboots and then boots into froyo. Not sure what to do.

A few questions though:

1. In the tutorial you ask to move two different mount_ext3.sh files to what seems like the same location (/system/bin/). I noticed that they are not the same size, one is 1.50KB and the other is 1.46KB. I placed the smaller mount_ext3 in /system/bin/ and the larger one in /bin/.

2. I examined the mount_ext3 script, it points to /preinstall/system.img. Which means we should rename the atrix-2.3.4-hktw-system.img to system.img correct?

Thanks for all the hard work you put in.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guidoido004:
4real*leb

answer 1: copy the one with 1.46 KB to /system/bin/ the another one is older(outdated i guess)

answer 2: yeah, rename atrix-2.3.4-hktw-system.img to system.img
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guidoido004:
we need to change the gb system.img to look for drivers into the /system folder, figured out looking into mine build.prop

what you think about it stevendeb25?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
You need to move files from froyo system to gingerbread system. Once you reboot into froyo. Any files you moved into system when you was in gingerbread will automatically be placed into system.img in the preinstall folder. Meaning system.img is changing everytime you move a file
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
Use the mount_ext3 I posted that will make gingerbread use /data/gb/ for user data so no need to fastboot -w
[Atrix 4G Android Development] motopuk:
Im close to succeed. It appears that I'm booting into gb but I get boot loop. The first time takes about 2 minutes. Subsequent times every 30 seconds aprox.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guidoido004:
Did you wiped?

Ps: it shows p999 because of a mod i did to play gameloft games in my atrix.

Sent from my LG-P999
[Atrix 4G Android Development] motopuk:
According to OP it's not needed to wipe anymore.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guidoido004:
motopuk, worked for me only when i wiped, without wiping, i got bootloops

stevendeb25, we need to choose a boot.img from a single carrier to get wifi working, the file doesnt work with all kernels, so, which will be your choice mate?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] motopuk:
Did you wipe via fastboot -w?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
ok do fastboot -w

then boot into froyo, then reboot to early enumeration and try booting to GB

should work, script is same as what i am running
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
unless we can get exec working then no we cant use any kernels m8 :( so no boot.img
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guidoido004:
Then we're stuck in the wifi issue for the moment
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 4real*leb:
So I started with a fresh SBF and tried the tutorial again. It doesn't reboot, just sits at "reading ODM fuse:1". I left it for about 5-10 minutes and saw no gingerbread. Any ideas guys?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
first boot does take a while, not that long tho, hmmmm

all i can say is recheck all parts of tutorial, dont use my modify mount_ext3.sh, use original.

check with rootexplorer that the files from the gz is actually in etc and bin folders,

how are you copying files?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] motopuk:
I had to wipe and boot into usb enumeration. To go back to froyo had to wipe again and boot normal.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
so you managed to boot into gingerbread?

if so copy my mount_ext3.sh into system/bin/ reboot into any and you should be ok
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 4real*leb:
Okay, I'll retry using the original mount_ext3.sh. I'm using rootexplorer to copy everything and terminal emulator for the commands.

I had an idea though. I remember someone here saying that the "system.img" is changed during boot, however, in order for it to be changed the filesystem must be mounted as read/write. When I copied the system.img file to /preinstall/ I had to use the command "mount -o rw,remount /preinstall/" in order to copy anything. Would it work if I added that line of code to the mount_ext3.sh?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
i use rootexplorer to copy system.img to /preinstall/ i do everytime i mess up when using gingerbread
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 4real*leb:
What I was suggesting in my last post is should I add a line to mount /preinstall/ as read/write in mount_ext3.sh or is that unnecessary?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guidoido004:
stevendeb25

If we disable autorotate screen, and do something to prevent autorotate, its not a fix, but at least we could make this work in daily(and nightly too, for the noobs and trolls) use, sorry i had to reflash the sbf file, didnt had time for check this.

also, the wifi its what i told you, unless we have a kernel, we need to choose a firmware, and use the boot of it. mine its the one of brazil, so i need my own dhd.ko in the GB System.img to have wifi working(and also all wifi drivers of my froyo i think...)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] motopuk:
Yup, i managed to boot into GB, but switched back to Froyo. Had to wipe again to make froyo work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] eval-:
Should be unnecessary, in the line after I mknod the /dev/block device for /preinstall I mount it with default options, which should already be 'rw' ... so at the time the loopback device is made and /system is (re)mounted (unmount old, mount loopback) the .img file should be on a 'rw' filesystem (/preinstall) ..

So, anyone have any luck fixing up the touchscreen flip issues?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guidoido004:
I used to have this in my dext, it was "fixed" simply turning off the auto rotate screen option
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
Guys when using my mount_ext3.sh forgot to mention you need to mkdir in /data/ called gb so it be /data/gb/ so you dont need to wipe inbetween boots
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
Doesn't work here m8 :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] motopuk:
Neither for me worked that. Thanks stevendeb25 for the tip of the creation of the gb folder, now i can successfully switch between Froyo and GB without wiping. :D

By the way i feel "slow" running in GB maybe the alpha stage of the system.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
once phone is fully loaded, give good 5mins or so, mine is really quick without modifications.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guidoido004:
hey man, i think i did something wrong this time, i used rootexplorer to do everything, and the phone took almos t 10 minutes and nothing of boot in GB...

i did that way because im in my uncles house(no adb or any development tool in here...)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Touchscreen might be wrong permissions for: /system/etc/touchpad

That's how I fixed the problem on ATT 2.3.4 ROM zip.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guidoido004:
So, this issues, they can be fixed using some froyo files ;-)

EDIT:

ops, i got it wrong xD

[Q]just us are interested in have GB on non att devices?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] D_one:
No, we all want it of course but it seems like either a gb update or unlock is around the corner...if neither happen in the next few weeks I'll start getting into this.:-)

Using 2nd init right? Man, still not booting, it stay in the "cold booting linux" thing for a hour, and nothing, but i did everything the way you told to do, there must be something wrong with my phone then

[Q]the bin and the etc fille need which permissions?maybe this is the problen

EDIT: using atrix 2ndinit apk it worked ;D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guidoido004:

I'm hesitating because officiel GB is supposed to come in July but I wouldn't be surprised if it finally comes in Septembre ^^

An interesting read from IRC on #teamwin: http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1017-fre3vo-IRC-with-agrabren-and-teamwin

Goes into some of the detail of what they are doing/working on

I found this on Google, just standard installation instructions really:

adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 755 fre3vo
./fre3vo

(test if you have root)
adb shell
# exit

adb remount /system
adb push superuser.apk /system/app
adb push su /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su

The exploit is only temporary at the moment from what i have read, but it looks like they are working on making it perm.

[Thunderbolt General] beeholtz:
so i have a tb and rooted it. no problems there. i tried a few roms switched back to stock one . then tried to flash one and i got stuck on a boot animation. couldnt get anyting to work so i ended up taking it back to stock. ive seen in recovery mode it said s-on which i figured meant not rooted... but i still have the superuser app and stuff it just wont grant access to root apps that need permission like rom manager which wont flash or reboot into recovery or anything for me now. any suggestions.. what to do or try. i tried using the same root method that worked before but it wont work this time. the phone doesnt reboot when its supposed to after the first step.
[Thunderbolt General] joshnichols189:
S-on doesn't mean you've lost root, s-on is a bootloader unlock. Try going to tthe superuser app to see if some of the root apps are set to deny
[Thunderbolt General] beeholtz:
nope, under apps there is nothing, logs has nothing, and the settings i looked through.... nothing
[Thunderbolt General] joshnichols189:
Can you boot into CWM?
[Thunderbolt General] beeholtz:
no i can boot into recovery but i cant flash a file of course, and all it tries to do is check the pmg005 zip file and do an update in which it doesnt even update everything.. or at least last time it didnt. so i was unsure if i should just go back to stock and then reroot
[Thunderbolt General] 00negative:
Why do you still have a pmg05.zip file at the root of the sdcard for it to scan? Need to delete, move, or rename that to get to clockwork recovery
[Thunderbolt General] 00negative:
Sounds like you've missed a step or done something wrong to not get s-off
[Thunderbolt General] beeholtz:
haah youre probably right. i have already removed that zip file from the root directory, and i did have it set to s-off however after i reloaded (im assuming) thats possibly what is causing it. thanks for the help guys, much appreciated
[Thunderbolt General] beeholtz:
ok so when i try to boot into cwm or recovery it wont even let me pick anything it just has hboot highlighted and tries to read the pmg005 zip file that is not there fails... then i can reboot, reboot hboot, but not do recovery to flash anything,
[Thunderbolt General] isdnmatt:
You have to redo the rooting procedure. It sounds like you flashed a shipped RUU and rewrote all the partitions.
[Thunderbolt General] beeholtz:
i tried rerooting using the same 3 step method I found on Droid forums. it wouldn't reboot when its supposed to after step 1. should I just try another method
