[Atrix 4G General] G1-8701:
does the fingerprint reader work on ken's leak? I'm rooted on 1.8.3 and thinking about unlocking my bootloader and flashing ken's leak. As soon as i heard that the official OTA was released i came straight to XDA to make sure it was safe, cause i've been waiting hella long for it to come. But now that's it's here, i'm second guessing on installing the official OTA. But i really need the fingerprint scanner(cause it's really what gives our phones originality for others, as well as being convient when your in a rush). Also i heard about some battery problems with ken's rom, that's another reason i didn't flash it yet, but i'm sure it's fixed.

One more question, my friend, the one who told me that the update was released, already installed the update using the OTA, will there ever be root for him since he's on stock? I mean he really wouldn't need to use RSD, but also his bootloader will be locked from what i've been reading.
[Atrix 4G General] Unkkut:
I just got the OTA. I just used the preinstall method to root.
[Atrix 4G General] khoabui:
I got update failed ...my phone is root(1.8.3), lock bootloader ..anyone help plz,thanks
[Atrix 4G General] rjayflo:
If this can't be unlocked....then I'm going to flash the leaked version
[Atrix 4G General] Viamonte:
Orange FR 2.3.4 has a bugged entertainment center, which plays 4:3 instead of fullscreen. Can anyone with a webtop verify this on this official AT&T GB?
[Atrix 4G General] GuerillaZhou:
I sbf the unlock bl after the update and was greeted with a soft brick. The only out of it was to issue the fastboot oem unlock command. So I think it's wiser if you unlock your bl before you update.

Once unlocked, and you can flash the preinstall img to root. Or the easier way would be to flash system and boot using moto fastboot. The images are floating around here somewhere for 4.5.91

[Atrix 4G General] Unkkut:
Im starting to get that impression.
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
You need to flash pudding SBF. Kenn's guide was made when the assumption was the the GB update would not need it, but that has since changed.

Unlock without skipping steps.
[Atrix 4G General] mramirezusa:
If you already applied it before just RSD pudding again (zomgunlock-lite.sbf)

If it is first time RSD pudding then run OEM unlock with fastboot, if softbrick after you applied RSD star in fastboot and rum OEM unlock codes
[Atrix 4G General] Unkkut:
My BL wasn't unlocked prior to the update.....****
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
You're FINE. You can still unlock with pudding. You will just potentially get a "failed to boot" which just means you need to run the fastboot oem unlock command agan. Just a couple extra steps.
[Atrix 4G General] mramirezusa:
It seems you have a mod in some of the files the new update do a check prior to apply

If you never applied pudding as you stated, and it is first time to apply gb update, best way RSD service sbf 1.83
[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
To those who haven't unlock their BL or haven't flashed a leaked .91 or download the official. 91, ask yourself a couple questions:

Do you want to flash custom ROMs?

Do you care if your phone becomes hard brickable?

If you said yes to either question, DO NOT FLASH THE LEAKED .91 OR THE OFFICIAL OTA .91 UPDATE! Unlock your BL and flash kennethpenn's ROM. It's the exact thing as official thing from Motorola anyways.
[Atrix 4G General] Gr8Danes:
It's almost comical that XDA is doing a better job of helping Atrix users with problems than their own support forum. People with stock phones with the OTA are bricking like crazy over there. I will stick to KP's (or Cherryblur) for a while. There will be some awesome things coming out soon. :D
[Atrix 4G General] mramirezusa:
Just mod the entitlement line at service provider database and use GB mobile hostpot
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Why upgrade to this? Who gives a @#$%?

Wait until the devs do something with it... Use the current roms for now.
[Atrix 4G General] holtenc:
No you can't use RSD to flash back to stock gingerbread .91. You can't because the SBF file isn't available to the public. Those have to be leaked by moto. Correct me if im wrong.
[Atrix 4G General] kumar_r100:
the battery time for this Official Rom is a lot better than Ken's release
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
This guys is completly uniform!

There is nothing stoping anyone from flashing the OTA. you can do everythying anyone that has not OTA with your phone, except downgrade using the SBF method.

My phone is OTA, im a dev, i constally use fastboot and cwm to flash roms, and all sorts of stuff to my phone. i soft brick all the time when i modify my rom or test something for another dev and recover just fine using a fruit cake or other safe method of recovery.

people lets keep this thread well inform, do not cause panic.

FOR THOSE THAT OTA, DO NOT DOWNGRADE USING SBF/RDS. THATS THE WAY PEOPLE HARDBRICK.
[Atrix 4G General] rjayflo:
anyone have a link to the leaked 2.3.4 build? the update link was removed...
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
http://www.multiupload.com/72WLT9TL5X You've been warned about downgrading using RSD.
[Atrix 4G General] mramirezusa:
Sorry, it is already UPLOAD to moto server as follow:

1FF-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011.sbf

so 4.5.91 SBF is already public too.
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
So you have a download link to the SBF?
[Atrix 4G General] NYG-SBXLII:
Yes, it is and I have it. I have PM'ed kennithpenn about it and he advised me not to release it or flash it with rsd!!!
[Atrix 4G General] Unkkut:
My dumbass just tried to RSD the Unlockr SBF after the official GB...I just 0x1000'd
[Atrix 4G General] grave101:
This can't be the same rom, because I'm sure it doesn't have the battery jumping issue.
[Atrix 4G General] sigo2oo9:
Atrix arrived yesterday, updated OTA this morning to .91 and rooted using the preinstall method.

For those confused or not wanting to read the entire preinstall method thread post 69 has a great guide

If you follow and know what are you doing, will be ok:

1FF-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011.sbf

If you ever applied pudding STAY AWAY from flash moto SBF's by RSD BUT you can used to extract .smg->.img to moto-fastboot flash pristines img's from MOTO

boot/system/recovery/webtop/preinstall

IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT YOU HAVE or WHAT DID YOU FLASH BEFORE:

Start RSD Lite and check your bootloader version under device properties if it said 0007 you have the NEW BOOTLOADER AND YOU CAN NOT RDS's any OFICIAL MOTO SBF

to extract pristines img's is better to use the moto official SBF (1FF-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011.sbf.gz) , and just split the SBF file using Depacker by SKrilax_CZ

Is the method in this post to obtain root still valid after OTA upgrading to 2.3.4 or is this what everyone warning ppl not to do?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15872818&postcount=69
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
No you're fine Unkkut. That is not the hard brick since you didn't try to downgrade.

You just have to get into fastboot and run the oem unlock command again.
[Atrix 4G General] azrr:
I just want to confirm what he's saying. I upgraded to the OTA without first unlocking, tried to flash the unlocker sbf and got the 0x1000 error. I booted into fastboot, ran the unlock, then flashed zomgunlock-lite.sbf with rsd lite and I'm up and running. Nearly had a heart attack when I first saw the error.
[Atrix 4G General] neoxz:
Hmm.. i've jst SBF down to OLYFR_U4_1.2.6

Flex and I have Bootloader Version: 0007
[Atrix 4G General] NYG-SBXLII:
Yes, this the safe to do it but I personally prefer "Portable Sbf Tool" to extract the smg's
[Atrix 4G General] Unkkut:
Oh damn. Battery is too low to flash. Good call though. Jesus christ.
[Atrix 4G General] sigo2oo9:
Confirmed this still works (see previous post)
[Atrix 4G General] bamastang:
I need some help.. I was on 1.83 rooted.. I pulled and applied the OTA update tonight and now can't get past the motorola Dual Core Splash Screen... I am able to get into fastboot on the phone, have tried re-applying the update and doing a Hard Reset to no avail. I have opened RSDLite and seem to have the 000007 bootloader, so I don't think I can SBF back to 1.83...

I have never used fastboot nor have it for windows... So I have no idea how to or what I need to install CWM to maybe use a fruitcake? Any suggestions on what I can do to get my phone back up and running would be great! Thanks all!
[Atrix 4G General] bleuiko:
Sorry, do you do those steps before or after updating to GB?
[Atrix 4G General] nsaia:
Guys. This is stupid. If you go with the OTA then you will not not able to go back to 183. If this OTA is the same as the leaked then it is a fact. BUT YOU WILL NOT WANT TO. I PROMISE. But to be safe you should unlock your bootloader and install tenfars cwm first. That way, if you do soft brick you will be able to get back to almost stock. No reason to sbf to 183. But you could fruitcake to it though, if you really wanted to, and get back to almost stock. But if you unlock your phone you will never be stock anyway.

With all that said, I suppose I have to say that if you mess up your phone it's not my responsibility.
[Atrix 4G General] Mgamerz:
I didn't read the thread, but can you unlock BL with this? Don't know if I should upgrade now or do the BL unlock first.
[Atrix 4G General] mramirezusa:
Yeap YOU ARE RIGHT, I was looking at my screen 0007 but it seem damm RSD pull the same bootloader code... is not like HTC UID that you can check bootloader version with out any problem...
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
How long did you wait at the logo? it takes a while to boot after the update.

If that's not it, next step i'd try first would be to go into recovery and wipe data/cache
[Atrix 4G General] bamastang:
I waited 25 minutes twice.. will try the data/cache wipe...
[Atrix 4G General] bamastang:
I also re-applied the update pulling it directly from Motorola via Android Recovery update.zip to no avail.. still at the Moto screen currently after full data and cache wipes....
[Atrix 4G General] sigo2oo9:
Do the update first then follow those steps altho for me the very first one (adb shell) wasn't required below is how it appears on my CMD screen

[Atrix 4G General] Kelvin0007:
Let me see if i got the idea, for ppl with rooted/unrooted 1.8.3 and want to upgrade GB its better to:

1.UNLOCK BL first (cant unlock BL if OTA / downgrade using RSD= hardbrick )

2.Install Tenfar's CWM (to restore phone in any case of brick)

3.Flash via CWM Kenn Rom 4.5 (better suitable rom/same as oficial GB/ Safest)

I think there're other post for:

Root GB

Webtop Mod

Sideloading

Did i miss something?
[Atrix 4G General] JxWayne89:
Anyone know of an app to make the update believe im on Wifi but actually im on 3G+? I dont have WiFi currently available :(
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
Has anyone with files added to the /system directory (sound files) or the non-Motorola beta versions of Swype had success installing the update? I haven't had a problem on previous updates but I just tried and had a failure (stuck at exclamation point / android guy screen - pulled battery and rebooted and now trying again).
[Atrix 4G General] mn3kgtvr4:
OTA update failed (triangle/exclamation point after ~25% progress). Stock 1.83 with root via gingerbreak, only other mod is the webtop via hdmi mod. I'm guessing either the fact I'm rooted or the webtop mod is causing the issue?
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
The webtop mod has caused other updates to fail, would expect the same here.
[Atrix 4G General] Cole28:
Edit: someone answered just before me
[Atrix 4G General] dio05:
I have the same problem, have tried to do a hard reset but update still failed.
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
I asked on the Moto support forums and they told me to use the MSU to do the install...Not sure why but I guess the update changes more this time around than previous so I'm giving it a shot.

I'm in the process of doing that right now, I'll post up with my results when it completes (or doesn't).

[Galaxy S II General] poch_1421:
hi guys, i'm a newbie when it comes to rooting and stuff :)

i reduced all my lcd settings (display is only at 10%, removed animations, etc), turned off unecessary apps (wifi, etc) and i'm using setCPU (so i could downgrade my cpu speed) after i learned how to root here with the ff settings:

cpu range 200-500 mHz, conservative.

my phone still seems to be draining fast. i'm not watching vids or playing games.

can anyone help me or give me tips which overclock actually worked for their S2?

i was hoping my battery would last about a day.

thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] tangiers:
Suggestions: restore your cpu settings to normal to establish a base line. Then download Osmonitor and see if any application is hogging your cpu. If not, then, in recovery wipe Dalvik cache (not anything else!).

You don't say what rom you are on but assuming you are not watching video files all day, you should get a full day easily.
[Galaxy S II General] jimhaddon:
Is your device connected to an exchange account ?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Root has nothing to with battery life directly, but you can use T.B Pro to freeze some garbage apps always.

Besides you can't get any benefit from using SetCPU? LOL. Well I don't wanna a debate here, but that damn app will not do any useful thing other than mental satisfaction.

And you stop any app which is set as Automatic refresh in an specified interval, run as low as Widgets possible, Turn Off WiFi and Packet Data when not needed, and try to use Juice Defender which is doing a great job on mine.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] poch_1421:
thank you for the replies :)

@tangiers: can osmonitor also freeze useless apps? or it just merely monitors your phone?

@jimhaddon: what is an exchange account? i don't think i set-up anything like that while i was tinkering with my phone.

@ithehappy: i think i'm only getting the mental satisfaction from setCPU like you were saying :)
[Galaxy S II General] lovidore:
I beg to differ. After I isntalled SetCPU and Underclocked/Undervolted my CPU I found that my battery life increased quite a bit and was no longer experiencing battery heating.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
ROOT has nothing to do with battery life END >>>but it did enable you to use SetCPU .

I9100 CPU is smart enough to change it's state when needed, you don't need an additional 2US$ software for that, when will people agree this fact? Anyway, why shall I care!
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
I'm also in the camp that thinks setcpu is a myth for saving battery. The cpu already scales up and down as needed stock. At idle the cpu sits at 250 mhz.
[Galaxy S II General] trem77:
SetCPU

I found out that setCpu actually drained my battery faster, so just uninstall it.

See if it gets better.

:D
[Galaxy S II General] Kenni83:
My battery drains too.

Solved that problem by charging overnight.
[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:
There are many factors that's can cause battery drain, wakelocks, signal strength, method of data wifi or 3g, display etc etc

You could have a rouge app that is keeping your phone awake, download betterbatterystats and check for partial wakelocks.

Signal strength can be a factor, see your current signal strength and then change the modem to see if this reduces.

No need to tinker with setcpu, you can underclock if you wish but generally leaving it on stock is fine.

Most importantly enjoy the phone don't get to obsessive with trying to save every ounce of battery its a smartphone at the end of the day otherwise we'd be carrying Nokia 3310s with us, and remember you can always charge nightly!
[Galaxy S II General] trem77:
Things that drain the battery :

Gps

Bluetooth

Wifi

Life wallpapers

Display brightness

Display time up setting

Try to configure them and see how much you can squeeze that .

Check on setup battery the top ranking of battery usage.

This is mibe so you can compare :

See my screen time above. I feel its pretty good. 6hrs+

I underclocked to 800mhz, auto brightness, ICS stock rom with the famous KH3 modem. The phone looses 2% over 8hrs of deep sleep. I think thats awesome. My phone lasts for at least 13hrs. (I charge it overnight and take it out @ 6am and use it till 11pm.)

Off topic: I was using my dad's iPhone 4 for a while and the battery life is amazing. But I still hate iphone.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
Well it sounds dead but...

Do you get any port connection when you go through the motions of download mode in odin? Saw something about sometimes the screen driver gets screwed.

Have you left the battery out for a while and then tried again (I've seen 15 minutes suggested)?

Otherwise there seems to be a JTAG method that is a deep hardware recovery (specialized shops and equipment) you could find a shop near you or that you could look into (google it).

I am also wondering this. I have a new stock NS4G with 2.3.4. I would like to root it, but my understanding is that is only possible on 2.3.4 if I unlock the bootloader also... right? Which will wipe my data.

Is there ANY option I have to backup data while not rooted? Specifically some saved games I have... Plants vs Zombies and Cut the Rope... I've spent (wasted) way too much time on those games to lose my saves! :-)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
I think game data saves are stored in/data/data/
