Motorola Atrix 4G is a powerful phone it is like a computer in pocket...u can browse internet with the help of webtop. it is a device like laptop but all the CPU from Atrix with GPU and running from Atrix. go motorola or google it for more details..

Custom rom do Hack HDMI over HDTV, you can browse internet or play movie or slide show over the HDTV whereas it does not possible anymore without motorola accessories.

I jumped in it too soon, yes, but im doing everything that I can to fix it on my own before resorting to replacement as I've already replaced one through "honest means." Trying to avoid replacing again, y'know? Its expensive after all.
[Atrix 4G General] jstrayy:
So is there anything new? I hard bricked today, my gf had dropped her atrix in water a few months ago and today it turned on... I tried to downgrade it and I bricked it, Smh right? Can't even warranty exchange it because the sticker is red :'(
[Atrix 4G General] aaurnab:
Downgrading doesn't cause brick..... what the procedure of upgrading.
[Atrix 4G General] jstrayy:
Downgrading from the newest build to 4.1.26 does.
[Atrix 4G General] aaurnab:
did you do "pudding " from pudding section???
[Atrix 4G General] jstrayy:
No, I was impatient and just used the sbf thinking all would be okay lol
[Atrix 4G General] aaurnab:
sorry you permanently bricked, i think ....

I had this brick the day i got mine like 2 weeks ago. I did it by accident but immediately removed it using that debrick method from here

Time to revive this thread if u guys can help me first off I got this as a free phone but it restarts and says "failed to boot 2 " idk if its rooted or not, and I also have a windows 7 x64 computer I downloaded the drivers for atrix and rsd lite 5.3.1 does not read the atrix, and also i might need sbf ..... I need some help I'm in a bit of a pickle lol

[Atrix 4G General] jstrayy:
The good news is you aren't hard bricked! I know you have to choose one of the options and reflash, Idr the link though but I know someone else will come in and help, if they dont I will get on my computer when I'm free and look for it

I also had that. This is what I did to get my Atrix working again. I posted it in the other thread about Build 141 Causing Problems cause my refurbished Atrix came with 141.

That is what I did to solve my issue and I think it will work for you as well. It will unlock your boot loader and get you back onto Android.
[Atrix 4G General] The_F_Word:
Thank God its not bricked which means I have a chance to revive this piece of equipment lol and I will try that process and I will update you guys soon enough :-)

[Atrix 4G General] jstrayy:
Same thing happens to my atrix with any ROM. I always wipe and have the newest CWM but it still happens so Idk what the deal is.

[Atrix 4G General] jstrayy:
[Wrong link] please remove
[Atrix 4G General] BTLINU:
Thanx for the helpful answer.

Am not totaly noob, but i asked this because there is no clear thread explaining that downgrading from stock 4.5.141 to any older versions will cause to brick your phone.

Many are saying that using the pudding will help. also other threads are saying downgrading from 2.3.4 with an unlocked bootloader will cause a brick.

Now am confused.:confused:

I just want to downgrade from a stock to a stock Rom, without unlock BL & without Custom ROMs.

If you have an idea, if downgrading from ATT 4.5.141 to an older SBF (ex. 4.5.91) Using RSD is possible without brick, please help.

Or any one can help?

Thanx.

[Atrix 4G General] BTLINU:
Nothing about downgrade from 2.3.6

What i can understand is that i must only flash the version i am on (4.5.141) and can not flash (4.5.91), and i can do so only by unlocking BL and using fruit cakes.

Is That right???

---------- Post added at 12:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ----------

Yes. The spacing is around .1mm but the most difficult part is removing the soldered on EMI shield covering the CPU and GPU. One wrong move will ruin the device for good if a resistor or the CPU/GPU are disturbed while removing the shield to access the pads...
[Atrix 4G General] jstrayy:
Lol but what's the point if it's so easy to render it useless for forever? You think we'll ever get any support from Motorola for it?

if u can enter in rsd mood....then u flash pudding.sbf by rsd lite...

then flash recovery via fastboot method

you should not try that ATT-2.3.4_Pudding_preroot.rar, it may cause Hard brick if RSD flashing stop unexpectedly.

then u can unlock bootloader by fastboot method, it is very easy

Also, not sure such a huge quote was really necessary just to ask this question.

On an unrelated note, and I don't mean to be offensive, but... Are you sure you're American? Because I'm not, I'm not even a native speaker, and yet I feel my english is so much more inteligeable than yours... :dunno:
[Atrix 4G General] upndwn4par:
That was offensive. You should watch your behavior in the forum and be kind to your fellow xda members. Also, is it really necessary to pollute every thread with your comments? Are you trying to set a record for most posts in a week?
[Atrix 4G General] ravilov:
I'm sorry. I meant no harm and I really wasn't meaning to be offensive, but I agree what I said can very well be seen as such and it was uncalled for.

My apologize to Demo3827 and to you.

However, I didn't realize my posts are seen as nothing but pollution. I'm new here (not technically but I was effectively idle for a long time), I came here after I got my Atrix, I liked the place so I decided to stick around. And while I'm here I thought I might as well contribute as well. Yes, I've been posting a lot because like I said I'm new and I'm trying to be helpful. I had no idea my posts are in fact useless.

[Atrix 4G General] palmbeach05:
You could do OTA, but I'm not sure if it would bump you up to 2.3.4 first or if it would go directly to 2.3.6. If you don't want to do an OTA, you have other options, specifically fruitcakes. Rooting the device is usually a good start. Below is a link that gave me the instructions

http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root

From there, you'll need to unlock your bootloader. Below is the link that gives info on that

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261

Follow the instructions and you'll be unlocked. Since you're on Froyo, you shouldn't run into any problems with this. After unlocking, you'll need to install a custom recovery.img. The 2 main recoveries being used are CWM and TWRP. Look into both and pick the one you want, and flash it via fastboot.

Once this is done, search through the Android Development section for choices of ROMs.
[Atrix 4G General] Feche:
I will do this, correct me if I am wrong:

Root the phone

Install CMW

Make nandroid

Flash 2.3.6 fruitcake

If I don't like, then I have the nandroid to restore to 2.1

Also, 2.3.6 (Webtop) vs 2.3.6, which one is better? 2.3.6 with no webtop will give me more RAM?
[Atrix 4G General] palmbeach05:
Close, but you missed a step

Root the phone

Unlock bootloader

Install CMW

Make nandroid

Flash 2.3.6 fruitcake

Yes, if you don't like 2.3.6, you can use the nandroid to restore to 2.1. Keep in mind that you don't just have to stay with 2.3.6 and you don't need to just go with the fruitcake. There are custom GB ROMs that cover 2.3.4 up to 2.3.7, and of course, there are custom ROMs that cover ICS and JB. I'm not going to tell you which one to use, just that you have options.
[Atrix 4G General] Feche:
Ooooh cool, so I don't need to flash 2.3.6 fruitcake if I am going to use a JB ROM?

I can go directly 2.1 -> 4.2 -> 2.1 (In case I don't like 4.2, and obviously wiping cache/data)
[Atrix 4G General] palmbeach05:
That's right, you are free to upgrade to any ROM.

Myself, I've been working with both versions of 2.3.6 (141 and 145), 4.0.4, and 4.2.1. I have nandroid backups of each ROM, and update each of them from time to time, creating a new backup after major updates (major update for me means app updates and/or ROM updates).

As far as switching between ROMs through nandroid backup, I've never had to wipe anything. I just go into Backup and Restore>Restore>Backup_file_for_ROM_I_want_to_switch_to>Yes after that, I'm back up and running on the ROM from the nandroid.

Thank you very much! and sorry for OT :D
