Installing this OTA update will make it so you can't use RSD lite to flash a SBK from an earlier version.

This is important because if for any reason you mess up your phone beyond repair and want to go back to a "stock" state, you will not be able to use the SBK files we currently have.

It will cause your phone to brick (as we have seen with the SAME file that was leaked a couple of weeks ago) if you go back to an earlier version via RSD.

Rooting after update. (Confirmed working on page 20)

Sorry if thats not the exact correct version because I was so excited and hit download right away but I did see the .91. Ill let you know as soon as its done installing.

Atrix, Detroit, MI
[Atrix 4G General] DiamondJay20:
4.5.91 yea I just got it too! for the last month, I've been checking for updates every hour or so. I'm mad pumped! Its downloading now, and I cannot wait to root it and get rid of the ads, try CM7!
[Atrix 4G General] night_51501:
It's true! ;)
[Atrix 4G General] markh7999:
Screenshot attached, I am drooling all over the progress bar :)
[Atrix 4G General] omni_angel7:
What build were you guys on? Unlocked or not?
[Atrix 4G General] crea78:
I got the update as well, but reluctant installing the new version since I may lose root. Has anyone tried Gingerbreak, to see if it will work?
[Atrix 4G General] DroidBabe:
I don't think I will get it since I have the 2.3.4 beta 4 installed. Right?
[Atrix 4G General] kevp453:
I just got it too. I'm on stock .83 locked. Woohoo!
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
You will lose the ability to flash back if you want/need to with the OTA upgrade.

Better to flash KP's beta 4.5.
[Atrix 4G General] DroidBabe:
That's what I have beta 4.5
[Atrix 4G General] DiamondJay20:
now its on, and its absolutely amazing! the weather widget actually works, as does maps now! does anyone know how to root the official OTA?

[Atrix 4G General] ethantarheels123:
I have k's beta 4, so I am not able to get it right? or can I get it by flashing back to 1.26 and it's all the way up? I used cemetery to install bg btw
[Atrix 4G General] omni_angel7:
The notes say 1080p "playback," NOT recording. AFAIK the leak already had playback.
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
Yep probably so worked for me just fine. The guy on the support forum said I must've just gotten lucky the last two updates. To which I say, my ass - this update obviously modifies either the version of Swype that is preinstalled or the /system/media folder (or both) as those were the only modified files on my phone.

Rerooted after install using this method: http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root .

i have a rooted Atrix with unlocked bootloader via pudding. i tried to get the ota gingerbread and it was not able to install it downloads but it will not install. it just goes to the andriod with the !point, any idea why?
[Atrix 4G General] jzaslice:
Specifically the people that actually got it over the air...can you confirm that the battery usage/gauge is still janky (jumps around everywhere, specially after reboot). That's the only gripe, really, I have with .91...I'm on the leaked version but its hard to believe they would send out the update with such an ugly bug..

Btw anyone miss "paste from clipboard?

[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
I am getting constant FCs from superuser - anyone have any ideas?
[Atrix 4G General] Will of fire:
for me the update downloads and wont install, for my fiancee atrix it downloaded and installed with no problems. Could it be that im unlocked bl and she does not have unlocked bootloader?
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
Redid the root after clearing out the app data for Superuser.apk...Seems to be working ok now.
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
When you say it won't install, what precisely does it do, does it start install and then fail to an exclamation point/android screen?

there's a great roms ou there like the cherry-blur with official GB 2.3.4 (orange france).

Softbrick solution for downgrading to .83 pudding then upgrading to official OTA .91

I'm not sure how many people who had this problem but I'm posting to assist anyone who actually had this problem after having the leaked GB update from BriefMobile and unlocked the bootloader using the pudding solution found on this forum and then downgraded to .83 with pudding then upgraded to the official .91 update from Motorola however after the intial reboot after the successful install of the update, the phone softbricked and had "FAILED TO BOOT 4. ENTERING RSD MODE." Here's the solution that made .91 work for me:

I had the leaked GB update from BriefMobile installed onto my Atrix, saw that the official OTA was released so I downgraded back to .83 with pudding since I unlocked my bootloader using the pudding link found here and the OTA update was found and it downloaded and installed successfully. However when it rebooted, I noticed the "UNLOCKED" tag didn't showed up and I got "UNABLE TO BOOT 4. ENTERING RSD MODE." basically soft-bricking the phone, couldn't find a thread under development for the Atrix on this forum so I tried something that unbricked my phone. I had the pudding.rar file that I downloaded from one of the threads on the development forum on here for the Atrix that contained the "zomgunlock-lite.sbf" and I opened up the Motorola RSD Lite program and flashed the "zomgunlock_lite.sbf" file onto my Atrix successfully and the "UNLOCKED" tag showed up and the phone successfully booted into Android.
[Atrix 4G General] havlaz:
and how can i do it ?

with this guide

http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader

?
[Atrix 4G General] Will of fire:
yes thats what it does on my phone.
[Atrix 4G General] ksweeley:
I don't know, I unlocked using the unofficial GB bootloader that was found in the development thread on this forum, upgrading to the official AT&T-Motorola update apparently broke the unlock seeing that the "FAILED TO BOOT 4" message showed up, reflashing the "zomgunlock-lite.sbf" file worked for me. But if you installed the official .91 update, it comes with the official bootloader which I guess AT&T told Motorola to remove the unlock portion of the update. EDIT: I'm right, the official bootloader included with .91 disabled the unlock command that you would issue through fastboot to unlock the Atrix according to the BriefMobile article that was published when the .91 update became officially available:

"When we first announced that a Gingerbread build allowed “fastboot oem unlock,” we maintained that this capability would exist in the final builds of Gingerbread. After all, why take the time to build-in that functionality if you’re going to strip it out when you’re done? It appears that only Gingerbread updates to 2.3.3 allowed users to unlock their bootloaders. When Motorola moved towards the final builds (2.3.4), they re-disabled “fastboot oem unlock.” We’re not entirely sure what’s going on with this situation.

Motorola promised to move towards unlocked devices in late 2011, but they added a small disclaimer in their statement. According to Motorola, not all of the blame belongs to manufacturers. “Carriers and operators” apparently have a voice in the phone’s bootloader situation, too. So, it’s entirely possible that Motorola intended to unlock the Atrix’s bootloader, but then their plans were thwarted by AT&T."

I can't link to the article because I'm new, sorry! :(

Use the Motorola Software Updater with a PC

http://direct.motorola.com/hellomot...SoftwareUpdateforATTATRIX4Gversion.4.5.91.pdf

That's what I had to do.
[Atrix 4G General] eclypse3demons:
I am having an issue with the update, I have a stock 4.1.83 version that is just rooted and side load apps enabled, no boot loader, or any other changes. It detects the OTA update, downloads the 161mb or so reboots then fails on the install, just has a triangle with ! in it and the droid dude. I hard reboot the phone and it boots up fine to the old version and states update failed....

=(
[Atrix 4G General] Will of fire:
i just got finished doing that myself too, it worked thankyou. Another question do i root this using this tutorial?

http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root
[Atrix 4G General] ksweeley:
From what I've read in the development forum, the official OTA update will fail if it detects any changes to the OS such as it being rooted and/or having side-loading enabled in .83. The solution is to unroot your phone and remove side-loading since .91 will actually have side-loading finally, you will only need to re-root your phone after upgrading to the official .91 update.

Use the Motorola Software Updater with a PC

http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto...ion.4.5.91.pdf"

Thanks Phobos! This worked just fine for my upgrade when I was getting a fail the normal way.
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
Yes that's what I followed after advice from other folks. After I did it (I was already rooted before the update) I had FCs with the Superuser app...Ended up clearing the app data from the "Manage Applications" menu in Settings >> Applications and then doing the root process again. After that it's working fine (this was after some searching).

Recommend going in and doing the clear data on the Superuser app before doing the procedure in the link - should be OK first time around (the data cleared is just the apps that already had permission to use su).
[Atrix 4G General] Will of fire:
i tried it and it didnt work i guess i forgot to clear the data. Also some of the comands wouldnot work is it because the spaces?
[Atrix 4G General] eclypse3demons:
Well the problem now is I tried to use the software updater and now the phone is stuck in a loop, wont boot, and keeps failing to update now too so I dont know how I am going to revert it back...
[Atrix 4G General] Will of fire:
did the phone unplug on accident?
[Atrix 4G General] eclypse3demons:
Nope it was connecting and disconnection on its own just sitting there on the table =(

Good news however I kept shutting, pulling the battery, reinserting it and plugging it back in and the update did complete, it actually stops and resumes when reconnected. I think I was panicking there a little but kept my head about it.

Confirmed up and running

4.5.91.MB860.ATT.en.US

2.3.4

no further issues so far, I like the interface changes.

BTW did they do something to the display because the screen and images etc look noticeably better, sharper too.
[Atrix 4G General] darocsfinest1:
I notice the better screen resolution as well. I was thinking if going back to the n900 but this update may change my mind.

[Atrix 4G General] pavankvn:
EDIT: i tried this method with the leaked stock 4.5.91 rom..

I confirm this. I installed the leaked stick ATT 4.5.91 a week or so ago and used briefmobile guide to unlock bootloader. Softbrick happened but was able to successfully unlock the bootloader. Now I'm rooted and also installed tenfars CWM. I posted step by step instructions on the pudding thread.
[Atrix 4G General] bamastang:
When running the Wired Motorola Software update what mode do I connect my phone in? I am currently only able to get in fastboot etc..
[Atrix 4G General] demandarin:
I believe I had this happen with me. On stock .83 with only root and non market apps Enabler app. No other mods or roms, unless sd card booster app is a mod. I downloaded update and tried to install twice. First time, Got stuck on exclamation. So I was able to pull up that fast boot screen or whatever to allow me to reboot. It rebooted n was fine.

Read up a lil more n saw your post n another on clearing data from superuser. So I went to superuser to clear logs, thinking this is clearing the data. Then I pressed the checkbox to cut off non market apps Enabler in application settings. Downloaded and attempted to install again. Same thing. Got stuck on exclamation very shortly after start of install. But this time I wasn't able to pull up that option or fast boot screen to allow me to reboot. So I just pulled the battery out and put back in. Everything booted up fine back to old version n said update failed.

As far as I can tell, over the air update definitely won't work with devices that are rooted and possibly have side loading or non market apps Enabler app. I'm rooted using gingerbreak. I thought the gingerbreak app or icon would have a option to press to unroot back to stock but didn't see it. So I need to read up on how to properly clear data from superuser and how to unroot back to stock .83 if I want to have a successful ota gingerbread update. I wasn't even going to try it yet, since no simple gingerbreak method to root was available yet for GB. But after reading how good the update was sounding, I said f!?€ it and gave it a shot..lol. I don't really like the method of all that command prompt entering commands and stuff in order to get root. As I've never done that before. Probably just looks harder than what it really is. So no GB for me yet until I read up some more on how to unroot n clear superuser data.

Just FMI, to pull up fast boot on power up, u hold power button and press up on volume rocker at same time? I just want to be sure. Also, do you think a simple method like Ginger break will eventually be released for this ota update? Id rather have the official rom and not a leaked one. As I'm not too pressed about unlocked boot loader or downgrading. I'm leery about flashing new roms..lmao. I was the same about rooting and Jailbreaking until I finally did it ;-)
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
The OTA update will not work if you have modded your phone. This is all over the forums, especially at Motorola. If people don't read instructions and warnings, blindly updating when they have modded previously, then they deserve a brick.

Sorry if that seems blunt, but it's common sense!

These are probably the same people who purchase an item that requires assembly, throw the instructions to the side, screw up the assembly, then blame the product for not working or cry help because they couldn't take a few minutes to read!
[Atrix 4G General] artisticcheese:
Can you please let us know if offical ATT ROM having battery jumping and high "phone idle" issues like the ones here.
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
I think you have to be booted into the OS for the MSU tool to work. It reboots the phone into RSD mode.

MSU = RSD for consumers.
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
i am only going to say this one last time.

The leak from a week ago, was the offical ota, the same thing everyone is installing. They are 100% binary equals, theres is nothing there that is not seen before. All the same issues bugs everything. Nothing is nicer or newer, and nothing is worst or older.
[Atrix 4G General] gogorman:
Ok, so I installed CWM and Gladiatrix a whiiiiiile back and now want to get rid of all of that and just go with the OTA ATT Gingerbread update.

As expected, when I attempt the update, I get the Android Exclamation when the phone powers off to install the update.

Is this because I have CWM? Gladiatrix? Or both?

And, more importantly, how can I go back to stock (no CWM and no Gladiatrix) so that the OTA installs successfully.

Do I RSD the 1.83? Or can I use the Motorola Update Software that I saw mentioned here?

Thanks in advance!
[Atrix 4G General] silenzzzz:
when i go to apply the OTA update i end up with a screen with an exclamation point and the android bot on it .. have to pull battery and reboot which goes back to 2.2.2 i am guessing this is because my phone is rooted? ...
[Atrix 4G General] captaincanada84:
Damn, I cant believe they took out the fastboot oem unlock option!
[Atrix 4G General] nfollmer:
Same problem here... I unrooted and tried again but it didn't work... uninstalling the blockbuster and dlna stuff didn't screw me over did it?
[Atrix 4G General] grave101:
Don't do OTA! Like its been said a million times, just unlock bootloader and flash kennethpenn's 2.3.4! ITS THE EXACT SAME
[Atrix 4G General] gogorman:
Yeah, I know, I know. But it's my fiancee's phone and she doesn't want me messing with it anymore, so I just completed the OTA via Motorola Update Software.

Thanks though.

I just tried using the Motorola Update Software (Google it) and updated it that way with the phone connected the PC. Worked fine. I realize that I can't flash back to a previous release, but it's all good.
[Atrix 4G General] goTouch:
samcripp, the ROM you're talking about is the ORFR leaked one that CherryBlur uses?

I'm using the leaked one from jun 25 and it's very stable for me.

If the ORFR is newer i'm going to try it out. BTW, your ninja ROM uses what leaked version?
[Atrix 4G General] nfollmer:
Cool ill do that, thanks. I can't tell you how many times I used to use that at work...
[Atrix 4G General] silenzzzz:
i have no issues at all with not being able to go back to an older version ... but i would like a rom one day that is asop or cm7 like ... so i may just wait till after work and look into the unlocking and such again ... i do know i want to get away from 2.2 always preferred 2.3 but have always disliked motoblur more.
[Atrix 4G General] Funkym0nkey:
To be frank, thats not the case every time.

I just updated 4 Atrix 4G 1.83 which were rooted, and sideloading was enabled. Otherwise stock. All of them belonging to non tech savy friends who do not have time to troubleshoot or fix any issues on their own so I keep theirs strictly stock. OTA flashed just fine on all of them, nothing happened.

Lost the unlocked bootloader and root and had to do it manually using preinstall, but otherwise no issues with OTA.

The people facing problems are probably those with unlocked bootloader + cwm or some other combination.

I did OTA before there were any warnings about the this here. Tried to unlock, got soft brick but was able to revive it and proceed with unlocking.

So the whole idea that is being floated here that if your phone is rooted or sideloading enabled then you cant update successfully is bullocks. There is some other underlying reason for failed update. Surely I couldnt have had 100% success rate with 4 Atrix if it was the case.
[Atrix 4G General] ItsLunchBOX:
This also worked for me for root.
[Atrix 4G General] goTouch:
I don't know why people is so excited about this OTA update and why they are concerned about bricking the Atrix.

We already have CWM and if you use it to flash ROMs, the possibility of bricking a device is near zero. We already have 2.3.4 for more than a week that is flashble thru CWM.

Forget RSD and SBF. Unlock the bootloader, install CWM and be happy.
[Atrix 4G General] nfollmer:
Motorola software update worked for me... Just use the automated option on their site. Lost root, but I don't need it back right away anyway.
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
Root can be easily obtained in under 5 minutes if you follow the root procedure linked in my signature.
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
Root / sideloading enabled is not what causes the update to fail - you are right. What causes it to fail is having modified the webtop or changed files in the system directory. I had added sound files to the system folder so that they would work on boot-up instead of having to wait for the SD card to initialize, and I had also added the beta version of Swype - update failed. However, you can just use the MSU to update your phone in this case, which is not a big deal.
[Atrix 4G General] demandarin:
I tried ota update with only root and non market apps Enabler app installed. It failed twice. If those are not causing the fail, I also have SD card booster app, that requires root. Could that be the culprit? If I set it back to default values, I should be good to go? I seriously doubt my wireless tether, super manager, wired tether, barnacle tether, and my root checker apps will cause the fail. I never changed anything else with phone other than rooting and getting those apps. I'll try to set SD card booster cache settings back to default value and attempt again to see if any change.
[Atrix 4G General] demens13:
?

I was under the impression that oem unlock/pudding is what blows the fuse, no?
[Atrix 4G General] charlyee:
Mine was also rooted, non market apps enabled, titanium backup and Barnacle installed. Mine updated fine last night so none of those should be the culprit.

Good luck.
[Atrix 4G General] demandarin:
I'm thinking it might be the sd card booster app. It changes/increases the stock cache size settings for sd card. To speed it up. Ill put it back to default to see if that was it.

Update: Tried with SD card booster Back to default values, install failed. I even uninstalled the SD card booster app then cleared all super user data and tried to install. Still fails. There's people who say any mods, being root or whatever will make install fail. Then you have several people saying they were rooted and everything with side loading and the ota update installed fine for them. SMH I will probably hold off for a while. Even read reports of people who unrooted device back to stock n ota install still fails. I might try the motorola software update down the road.
[Atrix 4G General] ryanpa:
After the update, I couldn't get the usb debugging works. Is anyone experiencing that too? Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] Dystopiq:
I'm too scared to try it for fear of Hard bricking or any irreversible errors.
[Atrix 4G General] bamastang:
I was rooted and flashed radio, also changed the bootanimation.zip and add sound files in the System directory... From all I can tell that is what caused the problem was the change of a files in the system directory.. I never got past Motorola Dual Core Splash screen....

However, I was able to boot into fastboot, and unlock via pudding and ran Ken's files here:

Quick noob question: now that I HAVE flashed the OTA version using the Motorola Update Service, what CAN'T I do now? i.e What were the negative effects of flashing that, aside from the fact that I can't downgrade without bricking?

Just interested to know what I am missing out on?
[Atrix 4G General] Gr8Danes:
Plain and simple.....do not use RSD/SBF. ;)
[Atrix 4G General] Gr8Danes:
Try what? Unlocking after OTA? or flashing the OTA?

If you are worried about flashing the OTA, then don't. Use KennethPenn's ROM or CherryBlur in the mean time. To me, it is better to play it safe.
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
That's interesting...Most of us who had difficulties had the update start and then stop with this icon:

This situation is similar to what happens when a Windows patch fails - it just rolls back the changes and doesn't end up doing anything. And yet you say yours actually installed completely but failed on reboot. I haven't heard of this issue.
