Every time I got to the /preinstall/dosu step, it said 'command does not exist' or something similar....

I typed in

PATH=/system/bin:$PATH pm install /preinstall/Superuser.apk

exited out, and now I have root (i think? Titanium Back up thinks so anyway). I had root before I flashed this OTA update, maybe that had something to do with it?

Can't wait to see what the devs do with this. I'm excited love the new blur look though
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
Yeah that no such command deal is expected the trick is when you see the prompt change from $ to #...# is the prompt for a root user.

Same here only rooted and sideload apps enabled, no other modifications, took 5 attempts using the PC method.
[Atrix 4G General] eclypse3demons:
I had root prior to GB how do I re-enable it now? Your link below says clear the app data?

[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
Key word is link...Read the link and then click it and follow the instructions. You have to download a couple of files and then install them using your PC with your phone in fastboot and then in normal mode. It just takes a few minutes. Some people get FCs from Superuser on Gingerbread if the app data isn't cleared - assuming you HAD root before you updated. Go into Settings >> Applications >> Manage Applications >> Superuser >> clear app data. Saw this on the EVO 4G forums after I did a search when I had the problem.

[Atrix 4G General] silentecho13:
Ok guys, so I'm a little confused.

I have .83, rooted and sideloading enabled.

I have the SD speed increase mod (will uninstall).

Will OTA work for me, or do I absolutely have to unroot? What about using the software updater?

If I did the preinstall method and then updated, am I fine?

Last question:

Any risk of losing my data with OTA?
[Atrix 4G General] demandarin:
My phone has basically the same setup. After several attempts at OTA update, it kept failing on install. Even after uninstalling the SD card booster app. So I don't know whats making the install through up an error. They say if any system files are changed it will do that. I wonder now if that new version of android market I installed from here might be the cause. The new android market that's not released to the public yet. Marketplace is an app that comes preloaded in phone or might be considered part of system file. I'm not sure. That's the only thing or last thing I can think of that might be causing error on install. Someone else posted it took him 5 attempts through the pc method before it finally worked.
[Atrix 4G General] silentecho13:
I havn't installed the new market app yet, never got around to it.

Did you ever manage to update? Maybe through the software updater for the PC?

I just can't afford to lose my data or anything, and I have almost no time to sit down and restore it. Work this month is killing me :/

[Atrix 4G General] eowyn:
Now that you have updated to official OTA update, try downgrading again let us see if you don't get a brick.

You had no problem with the OTA update?

It took way longer than the quoted 25 minutes moto said it might take, but that's probably my laptops fault. Glad it worked!

I have kenns Ginger Blur rom installed on my Atrix. It is also unlocked and rooted. Can I go ahead and use the OTA update without going back to stock first, or do I have to revert to stock then update?
[Atrix 4G General] demandarin:
No, I haven't messed around with it again. I want to read up some more before I try again or go the pc method.
[Atrix 4G General] silentecho13:
I just did the OTA, it worked fine.

No errors, and the preinstall root method gave me some trouble (superuser already existed).

In the end, it ended up giving me root anyway. I think I'm all good to go!

I'm getting terrible battery life and phone idle has been over 30% the last 24 hours since I updated.

I was rooted and got no problems during the update.

Nice new interface. I already re-root it again (using root.img process) and now I'm trying to get the tether working again (the solution of adding "tether" on the custom APN doesn't work anymore).

[Atrix 4G General] wirednix:
Like someone else said, installing this OTA update will make it so you can't use RSD lite to flash a SBF 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 SBF 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.

It was found that this OTA update contains a NEW bootloader.

MY opinion is to not install this version of the 4.5.91 update.

Kenneth has the same exact GB version posted up. The difference is that his will NOT update the bootloader, so you are still able to flash SBFs on your phone if need be.

Thank you.
[Atrix 4G General] omni_angel7:
This needs to be repeated 100x or we are gonna get another wave of bricks. DO NOT USE RSD ON YOUR UNLOCKED BL'S!!!!

[Atrix 4G General] crea78:
Since the OTA update is the same one leaked couple weeks ago, would it be best to unlock my BL and use a custom ROM or go ahead and flash the OTA update? I am still on 1.8.3 and not sure which direction to go, but I definitely want to keep root.

[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
The problem is not with unlocked bootloaders! It is with the leaked, and now released it appears (even though SOAK test end emails are just now going out), OTA update which causes bricks if you RSD back to an earlier version.

You need to be on stock 4.1.83 to update. Any mods and it won't update.

Also, have others have asked:

- Can you unlock the bootloader after you update (is that what the hell pudding means???)

- Since this is the same as the .91 released 1-2 weeks ago, has root been obtained??

I know, I know, I can just CWM to the .91 that was released 1-2 weeks ago, but I want to root and unlock the bootloader via the OTA update.

[Atrix 4G General] NonovUrbizniz:
It's not about going back, it's about this bootloader still being locked/encrypted/signed or whatever, so you CAN'T unlock AT ALL EVER until someone figures out how to roll this one safely back to a previous version, OR cracks the key for the signed bootloader.

I've updated, it's locked, it sucks, everything I LOVED about GB over Froyo on my HD2 is GONE on this.

I haven't played TOO much with it yet but everything I wanted wasn't there.

No Option to remove Blur

No Unlocked/Unlockable Bootloader

No Light/Dark Theme selection

No Auto rotating home screen unless docked

No Power User

You can install from alternate sources or whatever.
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
I used your 1.8.3 fruitcake to downgrade. Grabbed the update before knowing it was the exact same as the one out already. It is definitely the same exact thing. Even the MD5 matches up as Sam said.
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
Is fine, no one freaks out! My phone is opta since the leak and i have not bricked. You just dont downgrade using sbf/rsd, after you pudding, erase that tool from your computer, and you will be safe!
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
Everyone. You CAN still unlock this update as it's the same that was leaked. Have to read the International House of Pudding Thread that's in the Atrix developer forum.

There is no "official" unlock.

Motorola always indicated they were planning a "bootloader solution" to appease devs. Well guess what... they provided to solution by putting out the leaks and pudding out there for devs to find. That's the "solution". So devs can unlock and general public won't just easily be able to.
[Atrix 4G General] nalorite:
If this update is exactly the same as the leak, why is it considered safer to use the leak? Both of them stop you from SBFing back, right?
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
Once again if you apply this update via the official method you can not sbf back to a lower version!!!!!!
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
RSD is not for the public. You are never supposed to downgrade that is why it is "safe"
[Atrix 4G General] DroidBabe:
Pictures look clearer to me :D
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
The original leak is the same.. that's what caused the hard bricks when people flashed back to try other stuff.

The modified versions of the leak (fruitcakes, kenn's modified rom, navalynts 4.5.91 cherry blur etc) were all changed to avoid the new bootloader in the version.

so the modified versions are "safer" if you plan on keeping your options open to flashing to 1.83 and lower through RSD. Yes. Not many reasons why to do it, but people find them, do it, and brick.
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
the ota is safe. rsd/sbf are not for the public. you are never suppose to be able to downgrade.

edit: safe as in it installs very nicely, BUT NO DOWNGRADING, you will hard brick
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
We should get ready for lots of new brick threads..... Thanks Motorola.
[Atrix 4G General] nalorite:
Alright, that makes sense, but with pudding and CWM, why would you want to use RSD anyway?
[Atrix 4G General] munchy_cool:
I asked them in a tweet but those b****** do not respond ....
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
That's the idea. But the problem is not everyone reads everything and just goes back to their comfort zone with RSD.

[Atrix 4G General] Kaaji1359:
Just for clarification (second time asking this):

Is RSD permanently disabled or can you still RSD a fresh copy of Gingerbread? Everyone here is so worried about RSD'ing back down to an earlier verison; can you RSD back to the same version you are on (.91) to get back to "stock"?

And is RSD thing everyone is worried about just for the OTA or is it for the custom Roms in the dev section as well?
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
It's not permanently disabled- you can still flash pudding and the radio

As for downgrading vs. flashing .91 stock SBF in RSD... no one knows. My guess is it should be fine since it's the same new bootloader BUT who's going to try it? Not me :p

The issue is with the OTA not the custom ROMS. BUT once you OTA'd, you're affected. So let's say you OTAd, then 5 min later you decide to flash a custom rom. You're still in RSD no no land even though you're on a custom rom, because at one point you already modified your BL by the OTA.
