a) use volume down to select install zip from sdcard

b) hit the power button

c) use the volume button to select external sdcard

d) hit power button

e) hit the volumme button until you reach the cwm zip you want to install

f) hit the power button

g) hit the volumme button until you reach the confirm install line

h) hit the power button
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
you installed the recovery.img in the OP correctly? you should see a CWM recovery menu instead of stock android recovery. and "select zip from sdcard" is an option.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hightechlive:
no im haveing trouble with anything to do with recovery,

cd C:\atrix

moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

moto-fastboot reboot

but when i try moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img it says it can not do it so i just fastboot reboot
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joe ferreira:
Did you extract the img from the zip before you renamed it?

If this is not the case your not unlocked.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] hightechlive:
yes i did,it says it is unlocked when i reboot phone.

it says it can not open recovery image?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
And you extracted the img file and renamed it to recovery.img in the folder where your moto-fastboot files are saved?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hightechlive:
yes i did but i keep trying and it want open recovery.img
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mandroid717:
hey joe,

i really appreciate the help you have been giving me Joe. I know if it was me i'd be irritated by now. just a few more questions and i should be good to go.

i unzip these 3 files into my c:\atrix folder:

ORFR234-system.img

webtop webtop.img

ORFR234-tegrapart-1100100.boot.img

i then run each one with the dos command:

moto-fastboot flash system ORFR234-system.img

moto-fastboot flash webtop webtop.img

moto-fastboot flash boot ORFR234-tegrapart-d00100.boot.img

or run either the system or webtop image first. what is the difference between the 2.

how do i know when each command has finished executing?

thanks again
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
Those commands are correct except you say you have ORFR234-tegrapart-1100100.boot.img, then give the command for tegrapart-d00 . They can be executed in any order, they're all unrelated to each other really. You'll know each is done because your cmd will say so then it will allow you to type further commands. Your phone will also display a success message.

Great guide !!!

Thank you very much :)

But you forget in a few steps to write that we need to connect the phone to the computer :p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joe ferreira:
Lol. Koush has released cwn for atrix in rom manager. Soon i will update this guide to include this

Sent from my unlocked atrix.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mandroid717:
thanks raybond 25. i pasted the wrong file. it is the d00 file. one more thing what will webTop image give me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
the webtop image just install the version of the webtop that comes with the 4.5.2 update, otherwise whatever webtop version you had before (from your last official sbf build) would remain in place.

keep in mind that i don't think there's really been a webtop over HDMI hack for 2.3.4 yet, so unless you have the hardware it's not really a big deal right now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TheSmokingAndroid:
Hello fellow Atrix hackers!

Just wanted to let you all know that Joe has been working like a slave child to put together a new and improved method and will be revising the guide...from the sounds of it its going to be damn near fool proof and basically cut the process in half from unlocking to upgrading to 2.3.4....

If you don't have the patience after knowing this to wait for the updated guide...then it looks like you will just have to do the best you can in fixing **** on your own....

I have asked and been approved by Joe to make a Youtube video guide for those who prefer and or need a visual aid...Hopefully it will make everything as smooth as can be =)

I personally recommend waiting for the revision to come through by Joe if you still haven't unlocked and upgraded...by doing so you will potentially save yourself a few headaches and bashes and also give Joe the time he needs to work on the guide for us which he is doing out of kindness!

cheeers and have patience my fellow hackers! =)

You say ATT has to be at 1.8.3 before unlocking. What about international?

I ask because im having problems updating from moto's site
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TheSmokingAndroid:
what version are you running right now? i was running the french 2.1.1 but it didn't work for me...it has for others...so then i went to the sbf superthread in the dev section and downloaded and flashed the t-mobile uk 2.2.3 then evefything worked smoth from there on out...hope that helps...but 1.8.3 is only for AT&T users before the unlock as i understand it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Viamonte:
Confirmed, it doesnt need to be upgraded to the latest version to unlock on international phones. Worked on an out-of-date Vivo Brasil .sbf
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nitrox1:
Thank you joe for the nice and clear guide. Couldn't have been easier.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mandroid717:
should i freeze any apps before rooting?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joe ferreira:
the roms in the rom section are already rooted.

freeze apps at your own risk.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rickroller:
Ok..I'm almost embarrassed to ask this..but in preparation to do all this and downloading all the files..it says to extract Tenfar's CWM zip to the c:/ drive. However..when I try to use winzip to extract..it says it can't extract .img files..so what is being used by everyone? Or am I just missing something..?

just got my atrix and the gut said he unlocked the bootloader for me,how can and what do i have to check to see if im ready to put roms on my atrix i just dont want to brick it?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnetox:
This will give you a basic build of 2.3.4 and an unlocked bootloader, but you need an AT&T phone on 4.1.83 firmware:

After that, if you do it successfully, you can flash any roms and kernels you want.

Have fun, and be careful!

Cheers

i was told it was already done for i just want to check to make sure,that is my question is how and what do i need to check?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikramdhani:
When you start the phone and moto logo comes up look on top left corner it should say unlocked. if it does not say that then it is not unlocked
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hightechlive:

when i go into rom manager and i want to flash clockworkmod recovery the atrix is not listed,what do i need to do?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Not true! It will not say unlocked anymore if an earlier firmware was flashed after it was unlocked. The word "unlocked" will not appear unless you go through unlocking again. The phone would still be unlocked, as it is permanent when done, but you wouldn't be able to see the word "unlocked" unless you did this.

Now you can scroll back to the quoted post and hit the "unthanks" button! LOL
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
You need Tenfars CWM for bootloader unlocked Atrix. You can find it in the development forum.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4zyn:
I'm guessing you bought it used?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hightechlive:
so if it says in unlocked when i boot am i good?
