Okay so far I am liking this alot but I am still getting the bug where it won't let me pin a application from the app drawer. When I press pin to home nothing happens.. Anyone else heaving this problem?? Also I can't see the 20% speed improvment Motorola claimed. Seeing more smooth then random lag that is annoying. Liking everything else though, hopefully we get the camera update soon.

Hi,

I downloaded http://briefmobile.com/download-android-2-3-4-gingerbread-for-motorola-atrix-4g#stock, saved it to the external sd-card, than i try to flash it in the cwm recovery(4.0.0.2 version), than i saw a message in the cwm recovery: installation aborted... I have unlocked bootloader.....
[Atrix 4G General] bamastang:
Kenn.. thanks you just saved me from a soft-brick after pulling the update from Motorola on my rooted atrix. I was stuck at the Motorol M.. so I tried to unlock the BL and was successful.. then flashed this... And am back up and running!! Thanks!!
[Atrix 4G General] anupash:
Can someone make the fresh images from the OTA update from Motorola? I m not sure but does Kenneth's img files have old radio and some beta tools still present. Correct me if I am wrong.
[Atrix 4G General] edubz83:
first off thanks to all you guys who make this all possible. i appreciate all your work and try to figure out what i can on my own so i dont have to bother anybody but im kinda stuck i got as far as flashing the boot.img but the system.img fails and says the file is too big so i rebooted (cause i didnt know what else to do) and when my phone started the touch screen is backwards (touching the left activates the right) what can i do?

ITS ALL GOOD

i was using fastboot instead of moto-fastboot everything flashed this time
[Atrix 4G General] bleuiko:
I would like this as well, if anyone can do it? Much appreciate it!

[Atrix 4G General] drmeou:
Hi, I'm still on 1.8.3 (ATT, rooted). Should I wait for smt to come or what should I do to upgrade my phone to 2.3.4 without loosing warranty (void if bootloader unlocked) and not being brickable if using RSD?

Btw, anyone experiences longer battery life after upgrading to GB 2.3.4?

Tks!
[Atrix 4G General] fmflex:
Hi

I'll leave your main question for someone more knowledgeable to answer but I can say from personal experience that my battery life has almost doubled going from froyo to gingerbread. Previous to loading this ROM, I'd have had the phone plugged in to charge already and being ~14 hours since unplugged from the charger this morning I'm still at 48% battery life. I've got 1 hour + of voice calls, bluetooth and wifi has been on sporadically throughout the day and I've been surfing the net on and off.
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
The only way to upgrade to 2.3.4 without voiding the warranty is by applying official OTA update from ATT.

You would still be able to unlock the bootloader after flashing official 2.3.4. in case you change your mind and want custom roms. (unlocking the BL is what voids the warranty).
[Atrix 4G General] drmeou:
Thanks guys. I see what you mean, the thing is that kennethpenn's method is the safest one for now, allows you to go back to earlier versions if smt when wrong (many thnks Ken). But I think I can wait a little longer for smt that hopefully is safe and doesn't require unlocked BL to get to GB.

Smt = no prerequisite unlocked BL + safe downgrade using RSD + unlockable BL

Anyway, just my thought, Im happy with my phone 4 now excpt for the battery life, looking for the community great works. Thanks!

Another thing, if I use Kennethpenn's method, do I need/should clean flash my rooted phone? Tks
[Atrix 4G General] hanshewd:
This is the first thing I've done that wasn't automatic. Glad to say I figured it out, took me a while. But I am now on 2.3.4. Thanks a lot Ken.
[Atrix 4G General] redhawk79:
Ken, my battery life seems to be awful after unlock root and this. I came from gingerblur 4.5 any ideas?
[Atrix 4G General] n1n018:
I am unable to download anything off the market. My data is up, but nothing in the market seems to download. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks!

I just flashed the img files, and ran thought the setup again. That fixed my app problem.
[Atrix 4G General] emoandy:
I'm having some trouble flashing the data.img file and webtop.img file. I've flashed system.img and boot.img but get this error 0x30003 when flashing data.img...
[Atrix 4G General] NewGuy21:
So, if I literally just sbf'd to 4.1.83, what is the best way to get gingerbread on my Atrix? Should I use this or just do the OTA? I'd like to be able to flash the Alien Rom that kenneth is working on. If someone could give me a step by step, that would be nice.
[Atrix 4G General] knoshann:
On that same note, it would be nice to have a gingerbread p-rom we could flash without having to unlock bootloaders so as to keep warranty. I usually have to do at least two exchanges a year
[Atrix 4G General] Kenchinito:
Hello, I tried using this, followed the instructions step by step and I got my phone bricked, not sure if it's hard or soft. but it won't boot. I get a "Starting RSD Mode" message.

Any recomendation on this?
[Atrix 4G General] jarsh92:
You should be able to pick the fastboot mode, then all you have to do is enter the fastboot OEM unlock command.
[Atrix 4G General] axon-g:
I get exactly the same problem after following Kenneth's original post. My Atrix won't boot with the following error, "Failed to boot 4. Starting RSD Mode". No buttons are responsive once in RSD Mode so I removed the battery to reboot and try to enter Fastboot mode, but it won't do anything except go back to same error message.

I flashed 4.1.26 again from SBF using RSDLite and repeated original post's directions and am back at the same error.

jarsh, can you describe how to perform the steps you've suggested to fix?

...any help much appreciated
[Atrix 4G General] axon-g:
I've found the fix for both our troubles! RTM

You need to UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER before following the rest of the process.

I followed these directions to do the BL unlock http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader
[Atrix 4G General] quordandis:
I'm sorry, there seems to be SO much information out there and I'm unclear on the process. I'm currently BL Unlocked, rooted stock 1.83. I received the OTA update, downloaded and hit install now, it rebooted into the yellow exclamation point screen with the little green android robot. I battery-pulled and it restarted normally and then I got the message "update failed."

If I download this Gingerbread-4.5.91.zip file and follow these instructions without "moto-fastboot -w" I should be updated and rooted with all of my data?
[Atrix 4G General] gzrecoil:
I'm no expert but I'd say that's your best bet... Can't hurt to try.
[Atrix 4G General] quordandis:
I attempted to download and install the OTA update again...it began to show the unpacking icon, then went into the yellow exclamation point. I then touched the bottom-right corner and took a picture of the screen (appears to be the recovery screen).

The error seems to occur at the "Verifying current system..." stage. First, I get "assert_failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Swype.apk". "[A WHOLE BUNCH OF NUMBERS IN HEX]".

then E:Error in /cache/Blur_Version.4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

(see attached screenshot).

Do you think if I wipe cache partition and reinstall OTA this will work? or should I just follow fastboot flash from OP?
[Atrix 4G General] gzrecoil:
To be honest I'm not the person to ask but if you already have it unlocked with cwm and fastboot you might as well flash 2.3.4 with fastboot.
[Atrix 4G General] gzrecoil:
If I'm not mistaken you may be having a problem w/ OTA just due to the fact that you are rooted(or the BL). If you can boot up and un-root and try again, that may work too.
[Atrix 4G General] quordandis:
I'm rooted and unlocked but not with CWM....I'll just try to flash manually via fastboot with OP file attachments....and I won't wipe....I hope this works....you think this will brick me?! *SCARED*
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
OK. Here's the deal. If you're already unlocked and rooted and you want to flash 2.3.4, just flash a fruitcake. First, download whatever fruitcake you want.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1163009

put it on your external SD card. Also, make sure you have the latest CWM based recovery from Rom Racer, I know it works perfectly. Flash this with whatever recovery you currently have. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204500

Next you'll wanna reboot your phone and boot into fastboot mode. After entering fastboot, hook yer phone up to computer and enter your command line prompts. Navigate to your fastboot folder in command line, and erase:

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase user data

fastboot erase webtop

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase preinstall

fastboot reboot

reboot INTO RECOVERY now and flash the fruitcake of whichever rom you downloaded. This includes a kernel AND the radio you don't need to flash either of these things. Now you're on a stock 2.3.4, with no webtop. have to install that manually. make sure you do a backup of this as soon as you can with CWM, in case you run into future problems. Happy flashing!
[Atrix 4G General] quordandis:
Ok...I decided to follow these directions and here's something interesting....I reboot into fastboot, type moto-fastboot devices and my atrix shows on the list. However, when I type moto-fastboot erase recovery I get the error "erasing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: (00180001))" which is the same error I get with fastboot erase recovery. I don't want to flash the cwm recovery you suggested above without erasing first. Does this mean my BL is not unlocked?
[Atrix 4G General] quordandis:
I have a question....what if I unroot and install the OTA update...will I be able to root afterwards? I already have an unlocked BL, will the OTA update lock my BL?
[Atrix 4G General] enomai:
you can reroot using the preinstall method. look in the root any atrix thread. and i believe the ota flashes the newer bl. you can still use mramirezusa's scripted tool to unlock. just don't flash any older firmwares via rsd.
[Atrix 4G General] quordandis:
Ok, I'll give that a shot....the only thing I seem to be missing is the original stock 4.1.83 swype.apk and libSwypecore.so so I can install the OTA update.... Anyone have it to give to me? OR anyone know how I can extract it from the stock rom img file? I believe it's in the system.img....
[Atrix 4G General] Pizzaapu:
So I can use this to unroot my atrix right? Just flash 1.8.3 then update to Gingerbread right? : )
[Atrix 4G General] henryg0357:

Is there any app toy control my Galaxy Tab life? And if yes, which one? Im using Overcome 3.0.0 Icarus!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sh:
you can try juice defender from the market
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laxanoulis1:
you found this app good?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sh:
i don't use it since along time , but is the best in the market , go check it in the market and read the comments about it
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laxanoulis1:
i'm asking coz i read something before for this app, and the conclusion is that, this app cant do anything better for battery life..., and i speak for the Ultimate version! So maybe i wont try anything, i will keep my tab as is it....! But btw, thanks for your reply!

ahahahah.... no im not angry with my Tab too! I love my Tab, Its ok that i cant do anything for its battery, i think i will try to save battery from the open apps and from the screen light! :D Or maybe i will try this app to see the difference, i wont see anything it is simple, i will uninstall it! :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sh:
cool :D , so perhaps you wanna try my theme :D , check it out in the themes and apps section , the longest title thread ever :D this will be mine :D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oscarthegrouch:
Yeah I bought that app too and later found it useless for me. All it does is basically periodically turn things off. I generally uninstall things I don't use every day or every other day. It reduces bloat, helps boot/reboot/shutdown speeds, and gives the system more free resources to use if it needs them. No use having stuff run that you don't use often or at all.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoshingPanda:
Hey guys,

Anyone know how to set up CM7 to go to the clock on default when charging? (i.e. dock mode of sorts where you just see the clock and when the alarm is set to go off?)

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
Tasker, SettingProfiles, Locale, or another profile manager (I'm sure there're others) will accomplish this. To my recollection, there isn't anything to automatically start an app when charging the TB in CM.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoshingPanda:
Ahhh, ok. Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] killswitch23456:
You're going to need to have the Android SDK installed. You can download it here:

ANDROID SDK - DOWNLOAD

XOOM Firmware Downloads:

[3G|MZ600-HRI66]

[4G|MZ602-HLK75D]

Unzip the files in MZ600_HRI66.zip and move or copy them to the /platform-tools folder in your SDK folder.

Connect your Xoom to your computer. Type:

adb reboot bootloader

Wait for it to reboot into the bootloader.

Type the following commands, waiting for each to finish before continuing:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache

You've now successfully flashed your Xoom back to stock. Now it's time to relock the device. Type

fastboot oem lock

wait for the menu

then press the volume-down button.

Then press the volume up button.

It'll take a minute or so, then reboot. You're now completely back to stock and ready for the update.
[Xoom Android Development] Brenardo:
So if you are on Three . One you can use this to revert back to out of the box freshness?
[Xoom Android Development] killswitch23456:
Yes. That is correct. This will return your XOOM to 100% stock.
[Xoom Android Development] Brenardo:
word!

I have already been thru the LNX 0x0004 debacle and it was absolutely no fun whatsoever.
[Xoom Android Development] jlouang:
well I got a stuck at moto logo for 10 minutes

I am going to try to fastboot oem unlock, reflash images again and fastboot lock to see if I get out of moto logo
[Xoom Android Development] jlouang:
second install fix it
[Xoom Android Development] killswitch23456:
So that means that you got it working, correct?

>.>
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
So the HRI66 is the latest version on the Motorola site? I really need to get a grasp of their version numbers.

EDIT:

Never mind looks like HRI66 is the latest version Thanks anyway.
[Xoom Android Development] Brenardo:
i was thinking that with the change to the bootloader in the 3.1 update we couldn't use previous versions img's. But I am glad we can return to stock and get this 4G update!
[Xoom Android Development] dchurch85:
I'm following all those steps directly. Once I type in adb reboot bootloader, it says starting Fastboot protocol support. Once I try to type any other command it says not recognized in adb. Any ideas?
[Xoom Android Development] Brenardo:
Dead link...
[Xoom Android Development] killswitch23456:
Did you extract all of the files in the ZIP into the 'tools' folder? The same one that adb is in.
[Xoom Android Development] CakraMas:
Could someone help me,

After the rebooting device I got this massage :

Failed to boot LNX 0x0004

Starting RSD mode 2

Then stuck on Motorola logo. I can't enter the recovery mode.

What should I do ?

My Xoom is H.6.1-38-9 International version
[Xoom Android Development] Brenardo:
This is what I was afraid of..... try searching the error you are getting. Not many options on how to fix.
[Xoom Android Development] Brenardo:
i am curious about the LNX 0x0004 error. I know it comes from trying to relock with non-factory img's but what exactly does that mean? I am curious what actually causes the device to soft brick.
[Xoom Android Development] CakraMas:
Finally I made it, :D.

I can enter to bootloader by fastboot method, flash the stock image, then relock my device.
[Xoom Android Development] gatorhater73:
Kinda having the same issue as dchurch... "adb reboot bootloader" reboots Xoom to the "M" logo with "Starting Fastboot protocol support," but I can't continue with nay further commands. My computer no longer recognizes the presence of my Xoom and my Xoom doesn't progress past this screen. I can boot it normally with no problem. I've extracted all of the necessary files into my platform tools folder with adb.. any input?
[Xoom Android Development] WorldOfJohnboy:
You can try manually going into fastboot as well... there are two ways to do this:

No matter what, power off the Xoom. Then, 1) Power on the Xoom and as soon as you see it turn on (within a second or two of the power on), press the Volume Down button, which kicks it into Fastboot. 2) If you miss the 1st couple of seconds and press Volume Down after 3-5 seconds, it will say "Android Recovery." You can then press Volume Down until you get to Fastboot, then press Volume Up.

My guess is that you have a different issue, something to do with your Fastboot image. Not sure if booting the Xoom into the OS and connecting with USB Debugging on will work or not to flash the files, perhaps maybe just the boot.img?
[Xoom Android Development] WorldOfJohnboy:
I also believe that when the Xoom says "Starting Fastboot protocol support", it is in fastboot mode and you can send the fastboot commands to the Xoom. If your PC does not show the Xoom as a device in your PC's Device manager, then you will probably need to load new/correct drivers onto your PC.
[Xoom Android Development] johnny0911:
Did you make sure that adb recognized your device? Adb devices in the camaned prompt
[Xoom Android Development] WorldOfJohnboy:
Try this one:

Xoom Stock Downloads

And yes, I believe it requires a MotoDev account to actually download them.
[Xoom Android Development] johnny0911:
This happened to me last night when messing with my recovery, hard reset device by holding power and volume up, then hold volume down. It should say starting fast boot protocol, follow the steps to return to stock, after that you will have to Waite for the 3.1 update before returning back to root.

Hope this helps

Johnny.
[Xoom Android Development] WorldOfJohnboy:
Also, if you get stuck on the RSD, you can press Volume up and Power button, which is a soft reset.
[Xoom Android Development] killswitch23456:
No, the link is not dead.

You need to register an account at Motodev to download it.

Thanks for this....worked great. Not that I wanted to go back to stock...but when shipping to MFG, I just wanted it to be simple. Updates going in now...

thanks again
[Xoom Android Development] r0guenj:
worked great for me, although I had to move fastboot into the platform-tools directory. I don't remember having to do this before, but once that was done, it all worked like it should.

then 2 updates to htj85b and some testing and everything seemed good.

boxed it up and sent away for the 4g update!
[Xoom Android Development] TheBurgh:
this worked perfect. thanks for the spot on instructions.
[Xoom Android Development] WorldOfJohnboy:
I wonder if Motorola is going to release the "Stock" 3.2.2 image so that those with the 4G upgrades that rooted can go back to stock? I just checked and they still only list up to the 3G images.
[Xoom Android Development] johnny0911:
Sorry I posted in the wrong forum.
[Xoom Android Development] killswitch23456:
Per the request of some users, I have added a link to the stock firmware for the 4G versions!

Enjoy :)
[Xoom Android Development] joho5:
Im on ICS 1.0, and if I want to return to honeycomb completely stock, I just follow what the initial post says?

This may be a stupid question, but I just like to be sure.
