Jzaslice let me know if it works for you. It successfully copies the file over using fastboot (1.bat)

I don't know if the 2.bat works though... I was having issues when trying to manually typing the code...good luck

Reinstall Superuser from market and run superuser then press settings inside superuser apk go to the bottom and tap Su binary for update and check if it said SU is up to date
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mramirezusa:
Try this one I added chmod 6755 to su... I just try it and worked
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kimmikolter:
I'm confused. If you flashed this stock GB ROM, is it still impossible (as of now) to go back to a previous build? What is the thing posted on the second post? Just for last resorts until a better solution comes along? Do you think that when the official OTA comes around (if it's different) we will be able to upgrade from this build here? I'm a noob and don't tweak/fiddle with the system. My phone was 100% stock on 1.83 no root or unlocked BL. The only reason i flashed this was because I could do it stock and it seemed like the official build..... Now I guess i'm stuck? :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jarsh92:
Do not flash this if you ever want to use a stock sbf again or go back to a previous version. It will brick your phone if you do. If you want to test out the GB build, go find the thread about kenneths gb ROM. Apparently that one is safer, but you have to have the BL unlocked and CWM installed. Read all OP very carefully.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kimmikolter:
I already flashed it yesterday when it was first released.... :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jank0023:
So it says:

An error occurred and su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary.

So is it safe for me to go into recovery mode and flash this? So worried about bricking this thing now that I put 4.5.91 on it...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jank0023:
So whats interesting with both 2.bats (I just ran your new one) I get this after running:

Getting temporary root access...

Mounting /system as read/write ...

Rooting your device ...

Rebooting ...

Press any key to continue . . .

Unlike when I use to run gladroot or afterupdate.bat, when it says rebooting, my device does not actually reboot...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mramirezusa:
To tell you the true it seems will be the same case when moto/AT&T release it to mass. Once you are in GB, I don't think will be return to Froyo.

To many changes (bootloader, updated recovery img, etc)

So if you already updated just enjoy it as far from what you said you never rooted, unlocked, etc...

It seem a realy stable GB

Good luck
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kimmikolter:
That's what I assumed. I love this new update. Way faster and more stable than froyo and is it me or does the screen seem more vibrant? I just don't wanna be stuck without OTA's ever again.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jzaslice:
what happened when you booted back into android, was superuser working properly? i really dont want to touch the recovery. like you said, this whole brick thing is discouraging. never was afraid before but am very cautious now lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jank0023:
Superuser says there is an update, it tries to install and errors..It than places the update on my internal storage and says to use recovery.

So I went to recovery mode...but remember others saying after flashing 4.5.91 update touchscreen didn't work again...I can confirm in recovery mode I coulddn't get any options, ie the touchscreen didn't seem to respond.

I can't play the games that is needed to connect the sd card...e.g. Gameloft's game,Total war,etc.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jank0023:
So I went to install it...the volume up/down let me get to the menu...

Here's the thing, the zip file superuser placed on my internal storage had nothing in it, ie its zero bytes, when I tried to look at file it looked blank using root explorer.

So it appears whatever superuser tried to download had nothing in it...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mramirezusa:
Just to make sure you have all the files do the following:

1. Adb shell

2. At promt ($) type "cd preinstall"

3. Then "ls"

4. It must show up the content inside preinstall for example su dosu superuser sqllite

Let me know if you have those files inside

Almost every 1/10 seconds..... annoying right but it seems is on every GB build. I am trying to track down and it came down to the following:

/system/bin/netd & /system/bin/vold
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mramirezusa:
OP Some one already tested to hack the updater-script inside of the OTA 4.5.91 removing the following:

ui_print("updating AP20 bootloader ...");

assert(package_extract_file("ap20bl.img", "/tmp/ap20bl.img"),

write_raw_image("/tmp/ap20bl.img","nvmotota"),

delete("/tmp/ap20bl.img"));

assert(ap20bl.set_bl_update(00300000));

assert(ap20bl.set_mb_update(00080000));

show_progress(0.080000,0);

So it will patch the 1.83 to 4.5.91 without patching the bootloader, that I think is the headache to flash previus SBF's

And I think the second thing is to do a backup of the PDS, it seems the update.zip do some changes after the first reboot to it

Just an idea
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lurchbyrep:
2nd post says system.img and boot.img are safe to flash in fastboot once 4.5.91 has been obtained. Here's my thing: I would like to go back to 1.8.3 (do we have to keep asking people why they want to do this? let's just assume I have a reason). I do not want to flash the 1.8.3+pudding sbf, since it will clear my data, though I understand why (/data in Froyo and /data in GB are not compatible). However, I have a CWM backup from 1.2.6, containing my data.img. So, is the following safe for me?

fastboot flash boot boot.img (from 1.8.3)

fastboot flash system system.img (from 1.8.3)

fastboot flash data data.img (from my 1.2.6 CWM)

Would this work?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mramirezusa:
hehe, I think we are in the same boat, your reason is testing the new OC just released right?

about your inquiry it seem fastboot boot.img / system.img / data.img / preinstall.img are fine

at least if something happen you did not going to lost fastboot, but why you dont make a image from data first just in case

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk???? of=/tmp/data.img

and save just in case...

the worst escenario you will be softbrick but with fastboor access so just flash againt from the start point

Good luck!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lurchbyrep:
Yeah, would like to try faux123's OC kernel. I already have my data backed up, so I'm not worried about that. Just wanted to make sure FROYO boot and system were safe for fastboot flash. Here goes nothing, I guess.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mramirezusa:
Upps I almost forgot I think you will need used moto-fastboot.exe for data more that >250

If I am not wrong...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mramirezusa:
Please

dont try this, is just an idea

but just need some feedbacks:

1. Extract CG42.smg from 1.83 SBF

2. Rename CG42.smg to bootloader.img

3. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

4. Take the shot to SBF the complete 1.83 SBF

dont try this, is just an idea

any thoughts?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lurchbyrep:
Well, if the problem is trying to overwrite GB bootloader, which is my best guess, this procedure could indeed hard brick your phone. Just my thought.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jruweaver:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mramirezusa:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mramirezusa:
yeap /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 on /data type ext3 <<<<--------

I was doing something with my /system partition.... right one is 16
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mramirezusa:
I think the same but then I was thinking after reading all the hard brick experience

That when you do sbf with rsd will be a moment that you lost your unlock BL due to how it work rsd so it halt the process

But if you are in GB unlocked and just try to fastboot BL can open the door again.... but hard to be sure right
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mysticdrew:
hmmm could be onto something like the other people who got 0x1000 errors but can get into fastboot and fix with just oem unlock command.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mramirezusa:
In some way pudding was made it from future SBF implemented on a lower SBF right. Made it by flashing the following componets trough RSD:

RDL1.smg

RDL3.smg

CG2.smg

CG3.smg

CG42.smg

CG44.smg

fimware.hmg

So what will happen if we build a SBF inlcuding the same files extracted from stock 1.83 and flashed trough RSD

I CAN ASSURE that I flashed almost 4 times pudding agains after GB OTA 4.5.91 without hard brick just to re unlock

So I was thinking do the same thing but in reverse, what will be happen?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fRenZy-_-:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mramirezusa:
You need to apply from 1.83. Preferend fresh 1.83

BUT YOU MUST BE SURE ONCE YOU UPDATE WITH THIS YOU CAN NOT GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SBF BY RSD

Look in the first OP post
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fRenZy-_-:
3. Download the 4.5.91 update (SAFE ALTERNATIVE TO STOCK COMING UP LATER)

- DO NOT OPEN THE ZIP

- rename it to update.zip

- place the zip in the root of your sd card

[Atrix 4G Android Development] DeathKoil:
Random question...

If I am already unlocked, do I really needed to running pudding again to re-unlock afterwards?

I've heard that flashing back to 4.1.83 causes you to have to re-unlock the bootloader, is this the same way with this release (causing you to have to re-unlock after applying 4.5.91?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] samcripp:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] samcripp:

(I only ask because the the 1.8.3 SBF has been downloading for 30 minutes and it says 2 hours left... I get out of work in 1 hour and don't really wanna re-download it at home for 2 hours. But if I need to, I will)

Just curious if it's going back to 1.8.3 or flashing anything that screws things up.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mysticdrew:
You can go to kenn's rom because it's through CWM and doesn't touch the bootlaoder.

Anything that's SBF (mainly older firmware , 1.83, 1.57, 1.26 etc) via RSD is BAD at this point except for Pudding.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hoodlikegaza:
not if you don't bother with unlocking or the leaked update... I prefer to wait for the official update, which will most likely be able to flash by ota or sbf, instead of getting owned by pudding.
