Stop pressing thanks and start joining in the download fest.

How to retrieve the OTA safely.​

1. Once the OTA finishes downloading, it will ask you if you want to install

(press INSTAL LATER)

INSTALLING THIS MAY END UP IN A HARD BRICK, AS IN KAPUTS YOUR PHONE DOES NOT WORK, AS IN YOUR PHONE IS BROKEN FOREVER, AS IN F*CK THE PHONE HARD BRICKED.​

2. Open Root Explorer and go to the cache folder in the root of your phone and retrive the ATA .zip

(it be easy to know which of all the things in there is the ota.)​

3. Move it to your sd card and from there to your pc.​

4. sharing it with the devs. Please upload this on Multiupload, and either sent me the PM with the link, or PM us on IRC.​

THERES A MILLION WARNINGS BUT THERES ALWAYS SOMEONE WHO DOES SOMETHNG STUPID AND CRIES. DONT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN TONIGHT​

Is step 4 factory reset? Just checking
[Atrix 4G General] Sinful Animosity:
Is there any way AT&T users can help out? Just go through the same process?
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
yes it is, be careful and get goodies
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
yes but is a bit more complicated, you can simply flash the zip up there on 183. and then get a build.prop for any version and replace yours with it. now to download its the tricky part

you are going to needs to be rooted

and once the download starts you are gonna want to open a shell

abd shell

su

cd /cache

trail - -(not sure what options they where) file.zip >/destination/file.zip

is easier to let them do it themselves.

also, where does meta-inf go? there is no meta-inf folder to overwrite so should I just plop it in anyways? only system was an overwrite

I'm on retail france 2.1.1, during setup it does not give me a cloud option.

I've installed the file through CWM and done a factory reset. Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G General] Ratchet556:
You cant install through CWM you have to place them in manually as in the instructions
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
if you have root explorer go over to your files and on top at the right theres a yellow button with read 0, click it and it will say write 1, then do it again

it remounds your system
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
doing the back-up now. on bell. going to start from the bottom of the list and work my way up I assume I only upload if I find a different file than what you have?
[Atrix 4G General] jaysnip:
Where does the META-INF folder go then? In root? I guess what I want to know is where those certs are supposed to end up.
[Atrix 4G General] the2dcour:
if you find something like 2.3.3 that is particularly interesting because that is where we found our unlock from att (2.3.4 did not have this). I am talking in android versions not att/bell specific. Of course upload anything unique and we will inspect it to see if there is an unlockable bootloader inside =D
[Atrix 4G General] Ratchet556:
Come on guys we need to bring more attention to this! i will try the french SBF but it would help if someone could send me the Build.prop because i would rather not stray from the bell firmware, but if i have to i will to help out.
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
this file does not go in ours, those folders hold the script
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
if you are in linux you can download any of the sbf, and sbf_flash

and do the following comand to split it sbf_flash -x sbf.sbf

the simply mount the image
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
perfect will do. I also am not sure where to put the META-INF folder. just putting it under / didn't seem to work
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
I have it. pulling it up.
[Atrix 4G General] Ratchet556:
Wait you have the French OTA update or are you just going to try it on the French SBF or the Build.prop would be great aswell :D
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
I have the build prop. saved it from before i went back to bell.

its attached. have to go to bed but will continue tomorrow on the servers that haven't been checked. Just need to know where to put that META-INF folder.

EDIT

Clearly I was tired. as soon as I woke up I remembered what that folder is for. don't need it.
[Atrix 4G General] dillfever:
here is my build.prop french 2.1.1 deodex rooted greyblur
[Atrix 4G General] Ratchet556:
So far nothing on the French 2.1.1 hmm i was really expectng there to be something. i will check more tomorrow
[Atrix 4G General] the2dcour:
did you try every single cloud server in blur setup? lol. I would also expect there to be something on ONE of the servers.
[Atrix 4G General] Mgamerz:
When did I become a cheesecake!?
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Anyone running the French 2.1.1 SBF find anything? If not, I can try checking tomorrow if I get some free time before work. Working hectic hours and watching these threads like a hawk though lol :o
[Atrix 4G General] Ratchet556:
i tried a bunch of em. i also said i would try the rest tomorrow though
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
Hmm the cloud option, nor the wifi option show for me after i replace the files in the /system folder. Where does that Meta-inf go? or is it just the stuff in the /system folder we have to copy over?
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
Ok, got it working. What I had to do was install CWM, do a factory data wipe, then cache wipe. Then i installed the blur_test.zip through cwm, and it worked perfectly..

Nice, the cloud server for the bell GB update is working. I'm downloading right now. Has anyone had the nerve to install the update yet?
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
LOL!!! That's awesome..
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
I haven't, apparently it has the new BL that bricks your device when you flash new sbf. So its not safe atm to flash. Should make a thread with the link to the update. make sure you tell people not to flash it though. Only for dev purposes.
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
I wonder if the GB update that bell is going to push out to us this summer will have the same consequence with the bootloader that bricks when trying to flash another sbf?
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Not sure. Most likely.

You planning on uploading the sbf after you pull it from your cache?

I dont feel like doing a factory reset :P
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
I will upload the update when I get home from work, unless someone beats me to it.
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
guys, if you found something no matter what, please let us know. what version did you find, on what server. so we can update the front page. also what build you are using.

I tried to help you guys but i can't get this working. I have fallowed instructions but I don't see magic option "set up cloud" instead I see "skip setup"... Even if I wanted go through set up I couldn't create new blur acc. because of some time/clock problem. I also tried to install blur_test.zip in cwm but that didn't help. Any ideas?

...tried on stock t-mobile uk.

[Atrix 4G General] akurit:
My backup files seem to do nothing at all and I have tried it several times with write on!
[Atrix 4G General] akurit:
I had to move each file individualy not the entire folder and make sure write was on and when it says you are going to overwrite then you know it moved over successfully. All three files have been done this way.
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
did you put them back and then hard reset?

what did you back up? just the system folder? or did you do an actual backup?
[Atrix 4G General] akurit:
I backed up the 3 files and then did a factory reset/wip cache with cwm
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
k restore them then do another wipe.
[Atrix 4G General] Foka002:
I have done that. I have even deleted files first and then copied them. No luck...something is not right or I'm doing this wrong somewhere...
[Atrix 4G General] akurit:
still same thing i still see the cloud at motoblur setup

its almost like iam having the same problem except im trying to restore my files back
[Atrix 4G General] stevendeb25:
I think we missing a cloud app maybe. Same situation on orange uk
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Guys in order do get the cloud option you need to perform factory reset then reinstall cwm then flash the blur_test.zip in cwm then reboot into cwm

you obviously need to reroot as well
[Atrix 4G General] akurit:
im curious why doesnt he say to flash it through CWM in his instructions
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
did you try what nate_benji did? he wiped the data and then flashed the zip in CWM (worked for me as well)
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
If you want to help but cant figure out how, you still can, get me me your build.prop, ill search!
[Atrix 4G General] Foka002:
Nice one

[Atrix 4G General] Masta_mind257:
I would love to have helped but I got the clock error and after that I couldn't register blur. My phone wouldn't boot to recovery so I was forced to sbf flash :( now I'm back to odexed firmware lol lost my pics too :(
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Always back your stuff up, man.

I swear, I always back my stuff up and the two times I didn't I lost everything! Those were the only times where I didn't back things up and BOOM! lol... lost everything :D
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
bro you should at least tell me what country it is!
[Atrix 4G General] Masta_mind257:
I did back them up to internal. Didn't think I'd require an sbf flash so I thought I'd be safe. I'm just lucky g+ instant uploaded my pictures.
[Atrix 4G General] Foka002:
sorry m8 it's UK t-mobile everything else is in build.prop
[Atrix 4G General] akurit:
no matter what I do I cant go back to stocki even built my own cwm zip file by replacing navalynts files with my backup files and when i check the file sizes in root explorer it shows.

data_wifi_only_settings.mkitso 53bytes

defaults.xml 198bytes

defaults.xml 512bytes

where as the test files are

data_wifi_only_settings.mkitso 28bytes

defaults.xml 138bytes

defaults.xml 399bytes

so obviously the proper files flashed back but i still see the cloud in blur. I had a suspicion that I messed up the files not in system/ect/motorola/com.motorola.blur.service.blur

system/ect/motorola/com.motorola.blur.setup

but in

ect/motorola/com.motorola.blur.service.blur

ect/motorola/com.motorola.blur.setup

although they match my backups aswell perhaps thats not correct

Maybe someone can upload the bell files for me and I can try that. The ones in

system/ect/motorola/com.motorola.blur.service.blur

system/ect/motorola/com.motorola.blur.setup

ect/motorola/com.motorola.blur.service.blur

ect/motorola/com.motorola.blur.setup
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
go here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1013093

and try downloading version 9 to restore yourself back.

the other question i have is, since you flashed back the proper files, did you do a hard reset after? thats what I needed to do to get rid of the cloud option and allow me to sign in with me blur account.
[Atrix 4G General] akurit:
Do you mean this?

ATRIX

1. Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button, press power button.

2. Screen will come up with "Fastboot", press Vol down key to cycle through choices until you get "Android Recovery", then press Vol up key

3. Wait for the "triangle ! / Android" screen then go on to step 4

4. Tap on bottom right corner of the screen (may take a few times). a menu will come up

5. Tap on "wipe data/factory reset", and tap OK. Another Confirmation screen will come. Tap Yes and OK

6. After userdata is cleared, the "reboot system now" option will be highlighted by Default. Tap OK.

7. Phone will reboot to initial setup MOTOBLUR screen.

SOURCE: as per talipandas27 here

This didnt work for me.
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
that was or through CWM (I used CWM more often as its faster, its what im used to and regular recovery would sometimes give me errors)

But yes that is pretty much what I meant. I guess you can try the other method that I posted to help you out. you might need to reinstal the 37.23 OTA after as well
[Atrix 4G General] akurit:
f**kin!!! EH!!! i got it....the files were all there like i said and I even verified with an xml veiwer but what i had forgot to do was change the permissions on the files when i restored them...
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
ehhhhh!!!!
[Atrix 4G General] _unknown:
This would be "tail -n +0 -f /cache/filename.zip >/sdcard/filename.zip" for those wondering.

Sorry, forgot the most important part!

I used the master-qa2.blurdev.com server, I'm on the stock bell ota updated rom 0.37.23 and the system update found 45.2.12.en.ca
[Atrix 4G General] stevendeb25:
when you get clock error use apn and keep trying it will sign in eventually. still no cloud option here tho :(
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
Do you have CWM installed? If so, boot to CWM and then do the factory/data wipe, and cache wipe.

Make sure the Blur_Test.zip is on your sd card.. Now used the CWM to install the Blur_Test.zip, and reboot... You should see those options when you hit the menu button.

That's how i got it to work for you, Hopefully you have the same luck!
[Atrix 4G General] stevendeb25:
tried, tried again, tried again and again, but this option is not showing, only getting (wifi, emergency, apn, imei)
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
Damn that sucks, i'm not sure what to suggest. Sorry, wish I could be more of assistance.
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
Here's the link to the bell gingerbread ota update 4.5.2.12.en.ca for the DEVs that were looking for it.

Hopefully it includes the updated bootloader with the unlock...

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NA1BIPYD
[Atrix 4G General] the2dcour:
thaks looking at it now, will update... OEM unlock not implemented

to anyone else doing this if you want a BL unlock solution its easier if you can extract the BL from the zip and just upload that ;) It's much smaller.
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
I can do that too if you'd like.. Give me a sec to find it and upload it.

I think this is it... Let me know if i'm wrong..

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H0IIZK83

THIS IS FOR DEV PURPOSES ONLY.. i would advise against flashing this!

yeah thats the BL file. still no unlock ;)

Boooo, Go motorola and bell...
[Atrix 4G General] akurit:
Maybe check the file permissions in root explorer
[Atrix 4G General] millab:
I had to give up on trying to get the cloud option to show, restored the original files and thankfully nothing looks broken. I have my Telstra build.prop attached if anyone else wants to try! Telstra doesn't lock phones down too much so might be more likely to have the unlocked bootloader. Who knows?
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
you guys cant abandon doing this. the unlock is out there. i would like to confirm, we found, .40 att, still in the cloud servers, and .40 had an unlock bl. if you give up on few tries thats not help.

So whats the next step? Where do we go from here?
[Atrix 4G General] Cr15py:
I assume we wait for stevendeb25(the one who found the unlocked upgrade) and others to ensure the safety of the update. Then we wait for the steps to flash it to be released. Then we wait for ROMs or flash gingerbread, etc.

I have an at&t atrix, and I can start looking, do you need data connection, or will WiFi only work?

FYI.. I placed the three files in on a fresh 2.3.6 141 ATT FruitCake build... set the permissions, wiped data and cache multiple times, I get no cloud option...
[Atrix 4G General] Vazay:
Any data connection is fine.

You can use cheesecake app.

Wipe -> skip blur -> install app -> change server -> setup blur & check update
[Atrix 4G General] joe ferreira:
we need all the driver blobs. the kernel is not that important. we need video drivers and camera drivers. even a broken build may be able to be salvaged as long as it has good driver blobs in it.
[Atrix 4G General] vladeco:
When I click "click to change server", the Cloud picker only shows ONE server: "master-sdc1.svcmot.com". I followed the steps you posted.

Did I do something wrong? Can someone maybe please post the steps needed to make it work properly? I can't seem to get it right. I tried with 4.5.140 and .141 roms and I always get the Cloud picker witn only one server.
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
I believe you need to have the 4.1.83 version for all servers.
