romracers HELP

I tried "Now, choose "Install ROM from SD Card", and choose the .zip file that you saved on your internal storage. You should not need to delete any of the cache options. ROM Manager will reboot the device into CWM and flash the .zip automatically, and then reboot again".

Zip file does not show up as option. If I look at files it shows it as an .img file on phone????
[Atrix 4G General] ghost_og:
Sounds like you either downloaded the wrong file, or extracted the .img that is in the .zip

Double check which version you have. If it's the .img then just use fastboot to flash it. If that's not something you're comfortable with, then just re-download the correct .zip but do not extract it. Put the .zip on your card as-is. Should work fine after that.

Just immerced myself

I'm two hours a proud owner of Atrix.

My first question of a complete new guy is:

Is it Atrix 4G or Atrix or what?

The model number is MB860.

I'm in doubts this is the 4G model. It's definitely not an Atrix 2. And I didn't find a thread about pure Atrix, only Atrix 4G and Atrix 2. Where should I go?

Thanks.

OK another noob here. I got an Atrix 4g, but when I go into RSD protocol support my Win7 machine is not able to find the drivers for NS Flash Olympus. I searched all over for drivers, but no luck.

Can some kind soul help me find the drivers needed so I can flash my phone to put on a proper version of Android?

F.Y.I. Supercharger V6 Script updated to RC4.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021

Install instructions in OP of this thread (towards bottom).

**Edit**

System intergration apperas to be working now... at least on the latest CM7 nightly.

What I did:

- Unsupercharged with script (option 15), since I already had it installed.

- Rebooted into CWM, wiped cache partition & dalvik cache. Reboot.

- Run RC4 V6 script, choose yes to system intergration, and option 9 to install.

- Rebooted into CWM, wiped caches again, rebooted.

- Unchecked Run as Root & Run at Boot in script manager for 99supercharger.sh @ /data. ---> no longer need to do, since system intergration is now on???? (Question asked in V6 thread, waiting on answer).

**Edit**

Checked minfrees with & without run at boot for /data/99supercharger.sh with Script Manager (wiped caches in-between, just to be sure).

Minfrees don't appear to be loading without script manager running the script after boot. Here are my results:

Run at Boot OFF:

3072, 4608, 7200, 11776, 17408, 21000

(12, 18, 28.125, 46, 68, 82.0312)

Run at Boot ON:

1536, 3072, 51200, 56320, 61440, 70400

(6, 12, 200, 220, 240, 275)

So for the time being, even with system integration on, you still need to run 99supercharger.sh at boot with script manager, for the minfrees to be applied. :)

A Noob from Canada need help,

Hello I buy a AT&T Atrix from Ebay and now I use them with the Stock Rom for MTS (Manitoba Telecom Services).

I have Android 2.3.4 with the version 4.5.91.

And now I want to flash some custom Roms on my device, but I am a noob. I read the NOOB Guide.

But I have a couple questions.

What is the correct order ? 1. Root, 2. Unlock Bootloader, 3. Install CWM, 4. Flash Custom Rom.

On which number comes, save all your data and apps, and which program is the best for make back up files, from your phone and all your apps ?

I think root is not the problem I can do this with the one click root.

But which way is save and easy to unlock the bootloader ?

And which Rom is the best for me, I need:

-	Fast and stable

-	Webtop

-	Fingerprint

-	Tethering

Sorry for my bad English I am not very long in Canada, I am from Germany.

And Thanks for your help.
[Atrix 4G General] HarEllis:
very informative for beginners, i now know alot of this but still the most useful guide i have found
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
Order seems ok, although you don't have to root first as most ROMs will include root built into them (but is doesn't hurt to do it first). The best way to unlock the bootloader is probably the automated script (see OP for link). As far as ROMs go, sounds like you should stick with something like Alien, Aura, Darkside, etc.
[Atrix 4G General] lanski007:
And which Bachup App works better to save all phone data, Apps and Widgets ?

Titanium Backup, Nandroid or MyBackup Pro ?
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
Personally I use TiBackup... but I just restore apps (and sometimes data for games and the like), but do not restore system data after flashing a ROM, that will screw things up majorly. Another good idea, is after you have Rom Racer's latest CWM recovery up and running, you can make a full system backup, that way you can always go back to that spot in time.
[Atrix 4G General] lanski007:
If i unlock the bootloader than i loose all my data's, apps and setting?

Is this right? What is the best way to save all these datas apps and settings and put them after unlocking in?
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
Do you loose everything??? Honestly, I can't remember... I unlocked back when we were still on Froyo.... I don't think it wipes everything though... regardless, I'd root, and then backup with Tibackup... but again don't restore your system data... ever... it'll just mess things up.
[Atrix 4G General] lanski007:
I dont know, my atrix has still a locked bootloader.

But i read this in some instructions that you loose all if you unlock your bl.

but i am not sure about this.

First Post

I am new to this forum and wanted to reply to another post but was told that I have not made enough post and or do not have enough experience. Well I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S installed Clockwork Mod Recovery and Cyanogen Mod 7, and unlocked it to work on AT&T. Unlocked the boot loader and rooted both mine and my wife's Atrix 4G also installed Clockwork Mod Recovery and Cyanogen Mod 7 and all I wanted to say was that weekly 3 was running well on my device. Forgive me if I seem upset but I paid for the xda Pro app, run gentoo on all my hardware and that includes all my mac laptops. So I feel kind of sad that I can't post to the thread that I use weekly 3 on my Atrix 4G every day at work. I would think that would be of interest to some.
[Atrix 4G General] jfclk33:
First, I just wanted to say thanks for gathering all this info and putting it together in one place. Made this process a lot easier for me.

To answer your question, I just did this and I lost all my data. When my phone rebooted, it came up with the motoblur sign up screen just like the first boot. I had backed everything up with Titanium Backup, so no big deal. Just thought I'd let you know.

Unless I'm doing something wrong, the link to the stock 4.5.91 gingerbread radio is broken. It takes you to another site on XDA, the download link there takes you to briefmobile download, and the download there starts and then around 8% just slows down and stops. I've tried this with my PC, with my phone, nothing works. I'd love to be able to flash 1.77.30 again as I'm having problems with the new one that I have but it won't download.

OP says installing CWM requires root:

However the CWM post only states the unlocked bootloader is necessary:

After I flash CWM, I'm going to flash CM. Is it really necessary to actually "root" the stock ROM on this phone? (Since most custom roms are going to come with the superuser package already installed.) Or am I missing something?
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
No, my bad... only need to be unlocked to install CWM. Will fix soon.... actually now that I think of it, you may have to be rooted to install Rom Mangers version, since it ask for super user permission, but Rom Racers version you can install via fastboot without root.

Did you enter the fastboot oem unlock command? I would try unlocking bootloader again, following the directions in the main Pudding thread. If you've done every thing and run into the same problem, try fastboot installing Rom Racers CWM Recovery, and then pick a ROM to flash, see if it will boot after that.
[Atrix 4G General] terminator1983:
Yes i entered all the commands and unlocked was also written on the top corner above these option.I was using a custom rom CM7 ICS final on the phone.

I followed the steps from this Tutorial

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1302423

Now i have flashed the phone to stock 2.3.4 with RSD and every thing is normal its model number,boot logo and internal memory but i want to ask you that if my phone bootloader was unlocked is it still unlock after flashing the stock fw and how can i check that bcoz unlocked is not written on the top corner of the boto logo.
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
Technically, it is still unlocked, as unlocking the bootloader burns a physical fuse. However, if you flashed a sbf file over the unlocked bootloader, the sbf unlocked bootloader files that you had previously flashed have been overwritten, so you will need to re-flash the unlock sbf to gain full unlocked bootloader access again.... so yes & no. Yes, it's still unlocked, but no it will not work as a unlocked bootloader unless you re-unlock it. :)
[Atrix 4G General] terminator1983:
Ok thanks so i have to reunlock the bootloader can u suggest me a method for unlocking that will not cause issues like that i had earlier.

Hi guys,

In the post, you talk about 4.5.91 firmware, that I haven't, 'cause my phone says the version is 45.31.0.MB860.Retail.en.IT (build 4.5.2A etc.).

Can I anyway follow the guide in all is passages or it's necessary to do something else?

Stock 2.3.6

i have a stock motoroloa atrix with android version 2.3.6 (ota from bell)

i can confirm that NONE of these methods work with 2.3.6... RSD Lite gives me error " failed flashing process: unable to retrive interface handle (0x7027); phone connected" , and fastboot oem unlock returns "bootloader oem unlocklock is not implemented "
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
Well fastboot doesn't work yet b/c you have to flash the sbf file first. And as a matter of fact the unlock procedures in my guide do work, have worked for numerous people, besides yourself, and continue to work. As a matter of fact, I helped someone unlock their bootloader this afternoon with nothing but the instructions in the pudding OP. See my instructions and the conversation in Rom Racers rexovery thread. I'm gonna attribute your errors to user error.

Ok please forgive me in advance. I would like to purchase a tablet and use my Atrix's 4g connection to have internet access on my tablet. I was told I need to root my Atrix in order to do so?

If so, which steps should I do first? Unlock bootloader or root device first? Thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
1) Pull cover off of phone

2) Charge battery until it says it fully charged

3) Keep pulled in, power off phone

4) Pull battery

5) Power on phone (still plugged in)

6) Should boot to a screen w/ a battery & ?

7) Put battery back in, should say like 5% or 10%

8) Let charge for a while more (at least a hour or more)

9) Hold power button to reboot phone, upon reboot enter recovery mode (power + vol. down)

10) Once in CWM Recovery (still plugged in mind you), wipe battery stats (under advanced).

11) Reboot phone, and you should be at a true 100%

*Note as soon as you unplug the phone from the charger, it will drop to 99%

Another way I do it is, fully drain battery, take battery out, power on, get to the screen with the ?, put battery back in, and fully charge in charge mode, wipe battery stats upon reboot.
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
First off, you don't have a 4G connection, you have a HSUPA connection... more like 3 1/2 G :p

But to answer your question, yes if you want the free wifi hotspot (i.e. wifi tether) you will need to root to be able to modify/apply a tether hack.

*Note, there is a free tether app, made by Koush, that works without root, but it's usb only. Search market for clockwork tether.

You don't have to unlock your bootloader to root, but if you plan on doing so, I would unlock the bootloader and then root. Or you can flash a custom ROM, which almost all include root & wifi tether hack. CM7 has both root and wifi tethering build into it, as do many of the other ROMs, just check their OPs.

I'm on a Atrix with a tim italy branded rom (2.2.x). Than, OTA to tim branded 2.3.4, than rsd with a sbf italian-nobrand 2.3.4. No problem since here.

Now i'm on a Unlocked BL, rooted and WETDream Rom installed after a full format and wipe.

After the rom install, no webtop functionality (obiuvsly), but great functionality, so i've decided to charge webtop fixes with CWM and it works perfectly!

After spending almost 2 weeks on here with atrix, i have a question in my mind.. What are these radio's do? I have all radio but what is the best one and how they increase battery?

Is there any special radio for Indian region?
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
Radios enable your network, wifi, SMS, etc. connection. A newer radio usually means updated software that controls the radio. I don't know which would be the best for your location or carrier, but the newest one I'm using for AT&T in the US, is N_01.77.36P.

As far as battery affect, I doubt a radio will affect battery life that much were you would notice a significant increase/decrease either way.

[Atrix 4G General] manrock111:
Thanks for briefly explanation.

Actually someone wrote in a thread after flashing latest radio, battery backup increased.

Sorry for asking very basic questions but In Samsung world we never think about thinks like this... radio or baseband or locked bootloader. We only need to flash things directly by pc using software called Odin. Procedures for rooting or recovery is very simple.
[Atrix 4G General] jfclk33:
I have a quick question and I figured this thread, being the noob guide, would be a good place for it.

I would like to know if it is recommended to do all the standard wipes when restoring a backup? If not, then what is the best procedure?
[Atrix 4G General] markh7999:
With CWM from Rom Manager on the Market do you have to have your bootloader unlocked? Nowhere in the instructions does it say you need to unlock your bootloader. Also in the first post it says you SHOULD have your bootloader unlocked. I am confused as to why they would not tell you that you need to unlock your bootloader if you want to use any of the custom Roms available as direct download through Rom Manager. Again the instruction on say Rom Manager requires Root, not an unlocked bootloader. Am I missing something?
[Atrix 4G General] manrock111:
Yes Rom manager need root but for retain root access we need to unlock bootloader first. Otherwise phone loss root access or may be not start.

This is the problem I faced when I first came here, no one tells the simple procedures to noobs what are the steps they have to take in order to flash custom rom.... These are...

1. MUST HAVE UNLOCK BOOTLOADER FIRST (for retaining root access)

2. Root on your phone.

3. Custom recovery (Rom racer is best)

4. Now you start flash things.

Shouldn't have to wipe when restoreing a backup, but I guess it cant hurt; I would do factory reset, wipe cache partition, the dalvik cache wipe.
