Ken, will it be possible for you to update the original post with a prerequisite and maybe a extend the preamble for us n00bs, especiallly how this is or isn't a ROM

i had to read through all 4 pages before i began to understand things properly.

With the post about the hard bricked phones, i guess people are a bit on the egbe

[Atrix 4G General] shirzadians:
Hey guys- two quick questions.

If we unlock the BL to flash this, does that prevent us from receiving future OTA updates?

Also, if we unlock the BL now, will our BL become locked again once the official OTA update comes out this month? Im looking at it from a warranty coverage point of view.

Sorry if this sounds redundant. I've searched for the answers but havnt been able to find the answers.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:

no one knows since it hasn't happened yet, but the prevailing view is if not, there'd be a way to get the IMG files so people to flash to it.

Also, if we unlock the BL now, will our BL become locked again once the official OTA update comes out this month? Im looking at it from a warranty coverage point of view.

it'll probably be "locked" in that the unlock on the boot screen disappears, but should only need a flash of pudding to be "unlocked" warranty is hit or miss, but so far these hard brick reports with unlocked bootloaders haven't had issues getting replacements

Sorry if this sounds redundant. I've searched for the answers but havnt been able to find the answers.

Im about ready to unlock my bootloader and install gingerbread, but I have one question first.

If for any reason something doesnt work right for me, can I return to 1.83?
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
yes sam made some fruitcakes over in the dev forum. 1.8.3 is one of them.
[Atrix 4G General] JohnnyDanger:
Great. Thanks. Im reading like crazy to make sure I do this right, but man, so much work. I remember the captivate days. It was so simple. Damn motorola, why did they have to make things so crazy.

And while Im here, let me ask a question. I went to the link on the first page of this thread to download gingerbread. Do I grab the Gingerbread 4.5 Beta or the 4.5.91?
[Atrix 4G General] Pizza4Breakfast:
Isn't it safe to flash via RSD if you flash this Stock Gingerbread Rom?
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
Get ken's 4.5 beta it's awesome
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
As long as you didn't apply the update you can rsd all you want.
[Atrix 4G General] coastalmikey:
If this is anything like the Xoom you probably will NOT be able to receive OTA without relocking the bootloader.

[Atrix 4G General] ulkesh:
Everyone, make sure you also know about the moto-fastboot.exe (for windows) that will split the large .img files when sending to the phone. The one I downloaded from this thread is the moto-fastboot-win32.zip: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138092

Otherwise, you may get a version of fastboot that will not do this and will result in something like:

E:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash system system.img

sending 'system' (327680 KB)...

This is great! I got sick of my phone needing a reboot everyday cause desktop folders would stop working. I've missed my GB of my N1...

Any clue on how to get the webtop.img installed? I've got a lapdock and obviously it no worky no more. :(
[Atrix 4G General] ulkesh:
Yeah Webtop doesn't work for me either after flashing the webtop.img (I have the Webtop dock that outputs HDMI to my monitor and has the USB inputs).

Followed steps here and elsewhere and went from .83 gingerblur to stock 2.3.4 gingerbread, rooted. Everything works well so far. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] monofurioso:
I'm on Kenn's latest 2.3.4 Beta #4. What does that add (or remove) that would make it worth moving to this stock image, or for that matter, moving from this stock to Kenn's ROM if the shoe were on the other foot?

It was more obvious with earlier GingerBlur P-ROM's, as it was a clear GB upgrade from Froyo, and removed the motoblur nonsense. On 2.3.4, I'm not certain what features I'm getting from Kenn's ROM.

Sorry if this is obvious, and I've missed it...
[Atrix 4G General] kenslaters:
So far so good, the rom works excellent

Even internet goes faster i think...

webtop doesn't work...

that's my report
[Atrix 4G General] Nebbeh:
I'm getting stuck in the "waiting for device" prompt.. tried several different usb cables and different ports. I'm on HKTW. Anyone had similar trouble / fix?
[Atrix 4G General] alexpenn:
After you start up the device by holding power + volume down and seeing the word "Fastboot", you need to hit volume up to bring up the message "Starting Fastboot protocol support"

That should fix it for you.
[Atrix 4G General] Nebbeh:
Duh. Thanks. I've obviously done it before but I guess I just blanked out.

Hello Kenneth

My first post,

Thanks for your work, amazing.

I installed the images you posted, they work well. After trying to modify the

your *.images are odexed.

Can you load deodexed images?

[Atrix 4G General] demck85:

Worked for me. Love being on Gingerbread. Webtop not working or HDMI mirroring yet.
[Atrix 4G General] GloriousDJ:
ok I'm confused... you have your own download... but then in your instructions you say "Download moto-fastboot for your operating system ...

Use the following commands to flash the images:

moto-fastboot flash boot boot.img

moto-fastboot flash system system.img"

so am I suppose to flash the ones from your zip or the moto-fastboot ones?

Just kidding, ignore this post I figured it out.

[Atrix 4G General] JohnnyDanger:
I know this was asked earlier, but I dont see an answer.

Do you only flash boot.img and system.img, or do you also do data, radio, and webtop?
[Atrix 4G General] kaiseph:
Been using XDA as a resource for my Atrix and loving it so far thanks everyone.

So i have a question in regards to installing the stock Gingerbread rom using fast boot.

I think i may have jumped a little too fast and loaded Gingerbread because after doing some searching I can't seem to find a way to install root. Would i need to downgrade back to Froyo, and install CWM?

If someone could help me out that would be great.

Thanks to Kenneth and everyone else in advance.
[Atrix 4G General] gzrecoil:
No, you use fastboot to install the new stock files and then install cwm, go to page 1 of this thread and find the root tool. Download it and stick on sd card. Boot into CWM and install the root file from sd card
[Atrix 4G General] GloriousDJ:
no you just need to flash CWM using fastboot read the instructions here

This version blows fuse?

Hi Kenneth,

I found myself into a situation that I am in very risky of permabrick if I downgrade to any version at the moment..

Right now I am using yours 4.5.91 GB 2.3.4 Beta 4.5 and by the suspicious raised in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1165154 I heard that I shouldnt try any downgrade til someone, hopefuly, find a solution for the 0x1000 hard brick...

if I do a cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReversedOdm I get the following number: 10000000000010001000100004000 they suspects that by this number it means I shouldnt downgrade until someone finds a solution to the permabrick... maybe we could have a test or diagnosis app that grab this numbers and tells about if you are at risk and should never ever consider to use .SBF files anymore..

Do you have any thoughs about it?

See I am not blaming you or anyone in fact I am very grateful for the things u guys did and keep doing, this GB version is very stable and so far I got nothing to complain... I am just scared about the permabricks and how close we are of it...

[Atrix 4G General] Stimpy0030:
What about data,webtop and radio img files - don't we need to update these ?

I did boot and system and it boots fine so far

I get :

Syetm 4.5.91.M.....

Baseband N_01.77.15P

Webtop OSHWT_U1_4.257.30
[Atrix 4G General] gzrecoil:
There is a newer radio, I had to download it seperate in another one of Kens post. It is on the briefmobile page towards the bottom. Baseband N_01.77.30P.

I couldn't get webtop to flash over fastboot so I can't confirm that.

You have to install the stock rom first. The beta 4 build is a custom rom that tweaks settings etc, sort of like gingerblur. The only difference is that now the names are VERY similar so they are easily confused. The stock roms have all the files needed to flash over fastboot, the Beta 4 build you install via CWM after installing the stock roms.
[Atrix 4G General] Stimpy0030:
Couldn't flash that either back to .15
[Atrix 4G General] gzrecoil:
Huh??? I flashed the radio using RSD Lite 5.3 if that helps at all, not through command prompt.

Total Noob question, but i boot up in fastboot and go to fastboot protocol supprt on my phone. Then, i try typing in the commands but commonds not understood on C:\ screen. I downloaded the file to my desktop
[Atrix 4G General] gzrecoil:
Change directory to C - Documents & settings / your name / desktop etc..

Make sure it is extracted and run the command.

Depending on version its either fastboot or moto-fastboot and then the command, look at your file names and that should help. Or if you are having a lot of trouble drop the files right in C so in CMD you can just type C: and it will bring you right to the files...
[Atrix 4G General] sigp23940:
I was at stock 1.83, I loaded this after going thru the thread and seeing how. The instructions on the first page are lacking. But I got thru it. After unlocking my bootloader and getting the moto-fastboot version I got thru loading boot.img system.img and webtop.img. and cleared cache like the instructions show. I am not sure if I download the right zip file from the linked page though.

Most things are working, but the google maps seems broken, says cant find my location. Also after installing this my battery did not last a full day. With almost no useage.

So does anyone know how to fix these issues?

I love all the new features and such and dont want to go back to 1.83 but I would like things to work sooo...:o

why would you reccomend staying away from the official OTA? im kind of confused on what to do right now lol. thanks
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
It's fine if you don't plan on downgrading. Once you go OTA, you can't RSD back down or you will hard brick as people found out the hard way. The other modified versions let you keep the option of sbfing back to 1.83 etc.

If you do OTA and RSD down, you will make a nice paper weight!

instead of fastboot, can i wipe factory reset from cmw and then install this zip?
[Atrix 4G General] stratax:
so this is the exact version just modified to be able to SBF back?
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
For the most part. It's the same version except doesn't include radio and new bootloader(what's causing the hard bricks when downgrading). You can then flash the radio separately.

There's also a "fruitcake" version of this that is stock as well that samcripp posted in the development section. That's a CWM installable version of this.
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
Is there a version of this that I can install that won't wipe my settings/apps/data while still retaining my BL?
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
Not that I know of. This version would be your best bet as long as you don't run the fastboot -w command (that's the wiping command). There's no hard and fast rule that you have to wipe, it's recommended because it's cleaner and usually if you don't, you open yourself up more for glitches.

Please Read the unlocking thread.

YES You can update from the OTA Server or the update button on your phone ,but if you already done that you will NOT be able to downgrade to lower version.

And I am not sure you can unlock your BL after you update ,but if now then you'll have to wait cause you can't downgrade. and BL is NOT UNLOCKED after you update!
