Confused

So someone help me out.

I'm rooted...that's it. I never bl unlocked. I don't remember the exact steps but I'm pretty sure that I upgraded all the way thru .83 OTA then used rdlite to root. Can I upgrade OTA without a brick or semi brick?

Many thanks

Get into CWM and do a full wipe (wipe cache, wipe dalvik, factory reset).

Or do a factory reset via key combination.

What i did:

I updated via motorola updater (usb cable) to gingebread, from 1.8.3.

Than i decided to unlock the bootloader, following this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261

Particulary this point:

During the flashing, i got an error at 98%, and the rest is in the picture up here..

Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G General] Boomwaller:
Bricked mine after doing the stupid thing and taking the OTA on my phone to get to 2.3.4 I rooted it via fastboot method with command prompts. Rooted perfectly had Root Explorer installed and running, but after I installed Tenfar's CWM and trying to flash Alien Rom. My phone booted fine, but lost root(I believe). I powered down phone booted to CWM I hit clear cache/data/dalvik and then tried to install Aura...well after that phone said failed to boot. I not reading things fully tried to flash 2.3.4 SBF with root and it failed. Next I tried to reunlock the bootloader with Fastboot but wouldn't let me. Well now it says my battery is to low to flash, so I am guessing I am pretty much screwed.
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
You're likely not screwed, none of that means hard brick. You will have to charge your battery though to try some more things.

To charge your battery you ahve a couple options - make a factory cable some how (probably not the easiest)

Go to an ATT store and ask them to charge the battery for you

Or

Buy one of those $15 external battery chargers for the Atrix off of amazon. Heck buy another battery as well. Then you shold be back to the various flash/fastboot options to play around with.
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
First did you use the right file? Your line says "Unlocker sbf - flash this with RSDLite 5.3.1 or sbf_flash

http://diamantephoto.com/trololol-unlock234.rar ATT ONLY - Unlocker specifically for 2.3.4 [LOCKED] phones."

but you mentioned you are on 1.83?

But beyond that, you need to go into Fastboot mode and run the oem unlock command again.
[Atrix 4G General] theraizen:
I was on 1.8, but i updated to 2.3.4 gingerbread! Than i tried to unlock the bootloader with that method!
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
Ok, then you're not done. You need to get into fastboot and redo the oem unlock command again.
[Atrix 4G General] theraizen:
Sorry for double post, i got run to it, here is the solution:

- Unlock the bootloader using this guide http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader
- Reboot your phone (fastboot reboot)
- On restart, choose RSD, and wait for RSD support
- Plug the phone on the pc
- Open RSD Lite, and flash the official 2.3.4 from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125944
- The whole setup will take about 15 mins
- Enjoy your "work-again" phone

If you don't unlock the bootloader, RSD lite won't be able to flash anything on your phone (and i dunno why.. but i did like this and it worked out :D )
[Atrix 4G General] Boomwaller:
Ok so I tried to use Briefmobiles unlock bootloader method (on 2.2) and I tried using rsdlite and flashing the unlock well now my phone want do anything? It said fail on RSD and can't get it to boot any help would be awesome 2nd Atrix now may go to another phone...

[Atrix 4G General] mramirezusa:
Can you explain what did you do to be like that?

Do you have access to fastboot?
[Atrix 4G General] FrostedTreat:
Here is my situation...and it's really annoying me now! :(

I had the legit release of Gingerbread on my phone from Motorola and I attempted to flash over the unlock which was supposed to be used on the "locked" 2.3.4 release. After doing that I started getting the lovely device cannot boot error 0x1000.

I attempted to then go into RSA and flash over the 1.26 OLYFUR sbf since I was only using a legit release and now I see where it comes up with Nvflash and the screen goes blank :(

Is there any way to fix this up at all? Or am I just SoL?

If anything, how can I get it to at least let me back to fastboot so I can try some more possible fixes...
[Atrix 4G General] rynosaur:
Did you try a battery pull and/or a battery pull with the usb cable attached to a wall charger, while hold volume down disconnect the charging cable, then reinsert the battery?
[Atrix 4G General] FrostedTreat:
Tried both ways...

When plugged direct to wall it boots, gives the error, and instantly goes to attempt the NVflash but states the battery is too low to flash and locks up...
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
Why would you try to SBF? :eek: SBFing back after pudding = hard brick.

As far as I understand you were flashing pudding while on 2.3.4. Failed to boot is a common error in this scenario, you should have gotten into fastboot to redo the unlock commands and all would be fine.
[Atrix 4G General] aj009:
I use factory cable to connect and driver nvflash
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
Sorry buddy you're phone is dead. You were fine before as all you had to do was redo the fastboot oem unlock command, but once you try to flash backwards it's game over (stock ota or not, once you go ota 4.5.91 you can't go downgrade by stock sbf.)
[Atrix 4G General] rexamillion59:
im trying to follow this thread and it scares the hell out of me,Im still on 1.83 rooted and still locked never tryed the 1.83 pudding but every two hours my phone wants me to download 4.5.91 i clicking later,so if i understand this correctly if i do this up grade i can never go back with out bricking using sbf but can you go back with fastboot or cwm so realy what should i do now
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
lol, i felt the same before i unlocked mine, seriously. :D

but when official 2.3.4 arrived i decided enough is enough and i unlocked the bootloader while on 1.8.3.

haven't had any problems. ;)

and yes, you can revert to 1.8.3 via CWM or fastboot, though I don't see why you would want to do that. ;)
[Atrix 4G General] rexamillion59:

You can act stupid and say it died while updating to GB, that's the only thing you can do actually. Many people got replacements right away at the store with this method.

[Atrix 4G General] anthonywoo:
Very confused... I have a stock (never touched) with the .91 update. Got this OTA... was hoping to see the bootloader unlocked. As I have learned it has not been. In another post I was getting in trouble for asking what others here seem to be silly questions... hence I'm stuck :)

The OP quoted this in the starting thread:

"YOU COULD ALSO STOP USING SBF ALL TOGETHER. ITS NOT SAFE. RSD/SBF IS FOR INTERNAL CARRIER/MOTO USE. IT WAS NEVER MEANT FOR ANYONE TO EVER DOWNGRADE. PUT DOWN THE FLASE AND PRAISE THE SAFE METHODS.

safe methods:

fastboot

CWM

sbf with pudding already in it!" <------

So I'm not sure what to do... please, no tomatoes :) I just don't want to brick this phone (no insurance). In the Pudding, Rooting stickies... seems we are told to use RSD/SBF??? Is there a straight forward guide to root/unlock bootloader/and rom this device starting from 2.3.4 stock? I don't want anyone to hold my hand... just seems there are so many ways, tools, and warnings all in the same threads. Seems that the guides I have been pointed to are requiring me to use RSD or SBF and adb shell... I'm pulling out my hair trying to figure this out.

Thanks for all you guys do here!
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
rule of thumb is RSD is risky and to avoid. But pudding is the only way to unlock and it is safe. You will likely get a "soft brick" 0x1000 error, but It's NOT a real brick, just another step in the process as you have to the oem unlock command again. Follow the directions in the pudding thread and you will be fine.

My Motorola Atrix is a hard brick.

it happened that I came up in a boot loop with gingerbread unlocked 2.3.4 .

and wants through rsd back after 4.1.57 and now I'm with SVF: 105.1:2

SVF:105.1:2

Failed to boot 0X1000

I got bricked from my stupidity that flash 2.3.4 with prerooted that required unlock boot loader.

I was able get it back to 2.3.4 oem motorola.

What I did:

open RSD 5.3.1

load the 1FF-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011.sbf to [....]

my atrix with SIM card inserted!!!!

place battery back n turn on power without pressing vol up or down

wait like 3 seconds, it comes up a list of menu, I pressed Vol-down 1 time to get to RSD protocol

and connect to PC and hit start. After 20 min or so, my phone update to 2.3.4 n back to just a normal phone!

hope this would help some1 has problem like me.
[Atrix 4G General] luv2vexx:
Looks like you had a soft brick. When you get a hard brick you cannot access anything like RSD, Fastboot etc
[Atrix 4G General] anthonywoo:
Hey Mystic... First off thank you for responding. I'm still a bit confused as the pudding thread is a bit out of order (no offence)... wish they had a section for "previously unlocked" and "stock w/OTA 2.3.4". In any case, still confused cause following the steps there tell me I need RSD and to flash the sbf with it. Or am I misunderstanding?

Short of asking for a walk through (seems people get mad here) is there a thread or a section dedicated to us who have a new stock 2.3.4 device. It just seems that most of the people here have had their devices unlocked/rooted before the OTA 2.3.4 update, so If I'm understanding correctly (probably not) thoes are the devices in danger.

So that all said... my device has "fastboot" do I just drop the sbf on the SD card? Or do I need to flash it? Also it seems from the pictures they are using some sort of terminal... do I need a program for my PC?

I feel bad for asking so many questions... I rooted my HTC Inspire first shot with no problems, this Atrix just seems to have so many steps/programs/warnings, it freaks me out :)

Thank you again!!
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
If you're trying to unlock. The first post links to a pretty step by step process. (FOLLOW ALL STEPS, don't skip to 13 because you have gingerbread). You will then likely have the 0x1000 error with fastboot, then you go into fastboot 1 more time and oem unlock.

SBFs are on your computer and you flash them with RSD lite. Rule of thumb is stay away from RSD unless it's to flash pudding(unlocker sbf) or maybe a radio sbf. RSD is a program you download on your computer.

Fastboot is another mode you enter on your phone. To use it though, you need the fastboot package installed on your computer and you use it by running commands in the command prompt (run->cmd , gets you to MS-DOS command prompt, then go to the directory you have fastboot and you can do the commands).

Good newbie guide here as well

I apologize upfront if this info is in here somewhere and I missed it. I did read "most" of this thread. What was never clear to me though, is why do people want to go back to 1.83?

So what's up with the latest update that makes folks want to backtrack to 1.83?

[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
Here's what I did, and worked fine for me. If you follow the steps in the posts correctly that is ;p

1) I knew I wanted to update to 2.3.4, so I did the OTA *over the air* update from AT&T

2) After the OTA, I wanted to unlock and root again, so after rooting I flashed pudding using the instructions provided in this forum post on the first page.

I would suggest if you wanna update to gingerbread and unlock boot loader to just OTA update and then flash pudding, honestly it worked fine for me. Other option for you include the gingerbread fruitcake I think, but never tried it.
[Atrix 4G General] aj009:
I same think so :o:o
[Atrix 4G General] araheels:
It DIDNT worked for me Phalanx,

I did the same steps as you mentioned

but when it rebooted after pudding

it got

what should i do now??

is there any possibility to go back as normal??

HELPPPPPPPPP

HELPPPPPPPPPPPPP
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
What did you do exactly? IF you only flashed pudding then NOTHING IS WRONG. It just means you have to go into FASTBOOT and do the OEM UNLOCK Command. It's talked about MANY TIMES here.

If you no longer have fastboot option, then you're screwed... but that only happens if you downgrade.
[Atrix 4G General] araheels:
i was on 2.2.2

i got OTA update 2.3.4

it went fine and got updated to 2.3.4

and working very fine,

then i flashed 4547-fix-try2.sbf via RSD (just to unlock the BL via fastboot command but was not aware that it will put my ATRIX to Failed to Boot 0x1000 state)

after finishing RSD it rebooted and then FAILED TO BOOT......

So did you follow my instructions? I wrote to go into fastboot mode and run the oem unlock command again

that is exactly what happened to me. that is a hard brick because you cannot connect to fastboot of RSD. time to either call Motorola, or get a new one. my understanding is that because i didn't install stock gingerbread after i OTA'd gingerbread, that is what hard bricked my phone. sorry!

OP update suggestion

What was the conclusion of evaluating the fuse file? Per post 204, if a certain bit was set, then OTA 2.3.4 had been flashed.

If that is pretty conclusive, then maybe the OP can be updated with a message about checking for the fuse being blown before trying to downgrade. Some people may forget whether they did flashed this version. While there is a lot to be gained from reading the 30+ pages of this thread, it may help reduce some confusion.
