Thanks for the replying. I probably made things a little confusing in my last post.

For now I only need the regular GB OTA, which of course I don't need to unlock my phone for that.

However I will be installing CM7 (whenever the final version is ready) down the road, so I WILL need to unlock my phone at some point.

My question is since I will need to unlock my phone down the road, should I unlock before or after the stock GB OTA? Or does that not even matter?...
[Atrix 4G General] NFHimself:
I can't see how being unlocked beforehand would help with flashing the OTA, so unless you are doing something that needs it, I'd wait on that. Your recovery and boot partitions get checked so you would still need to fastboot flash those afterword. Only possible reason I can think of is to be ready for a soft brick situation, but you can always flash pudding in that case after the fact.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
Thanks... :)

I definitely will be installing CM7 (used it on other phones), but after hearing some of the bricking horror stories, I just want to make sure that I'm not doing anything wrong.

I know most of the bricking issues are coming from flashing back to an earlier OTA, but like I said I just want to do the stock GB OTA for now and then unlock/install the CM7 down the road when it arrives later without bricking my phone... ;)
[Atrix 4G General] belkbuzze:
I'm exactly on the same boat. So, if I understood correctly his answer, we should be going forward with this stock OTA and unlock everything when we'll be ready to go to CM7 final? Do we have a confirmation that this OTA will be unlockable? Pardon my ignorance...
[Atrix 4G General] sservati:
I checked the ap20bl.img and there was a sentence with "check warranty void" but didn't seem to be the same sentence as the BL unlocking one.

Also Rootexplorer keeps force closing on me in Stock Bell 2.3.4!
[Atrix 4G General] XIShamanIX:
I'm in Vancouver BC and I recieved the update on the 25th. I do remember signing up for beta testing awhile back...
[Atrix 4G General] guitar_east:
It still hasn't pushed to me either. I'm not sure if i signed up for the Motoblu beta stuff, so I'm going to factory reset the phone and make another Blur account with beta testing checked to see if that helps. Then I'll try to pull the update if its pushed
[Atrix 4G General] belkbuzze:
Thanks guitar_east, keep us posted :)
[Atrix 4G General] nikechristo:
Thanks! Please let us know if it works. If it works then I will do a factory reset as well.

[Atrix 4G General] ratatouille:

[Atrix 4G General] guitar_east:
Well that didn't work. There was no option for me to sign up for beta testing. I tried it twice to be sure with different email accounts. Back to the waiting game for me

I have put the french retail OLYEM_U4_2.1.1 SBF on my Bell Atrix a couple of months ago, do I need to put the original bell sbf back on the atrix in order to able to update to gingerbread?

Cheers
[Atrix 4G General] kokobsb:
you have to have bell system dump in order to replace the apps ,search the forums for bell system dump and compare the files that you deleted in the app folder and replace them ,,,but if you changed any system files DO NOT copy and paste you will brick your phone ,as far as i know your safe in the app folder ,compare,cut,and paste. and remember after copying the .apk files you have to install them.
[Atrix 4G General] kokobsb:
there is no bell sbf available yet .
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
No SBF of Bell GB, or no SBF of "ANY" Bell official FW?...
[Atrix 4G General] NFHimself:
There are no Bell specific sbf files, at all. None, nadda.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G General] morrislee:
I am confused. My atrix is on 2.2.2, rooted with Gingerbreak and have a few apps from stock "uninstalled" using titanium backup, theoretically, i can just get someone's backup of the system app to restore to no?:confused:
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
I don't want to turn this into an Atrix vs Samsung thing, but the Atrix could definitely use a site (even if it's 3rd party) like "Samfirmware".

I wonder what Google's stance will be on "customization" (with non-Nexus phones), now that they are running the "Moto-show"...

Hi Everyone,

a couple of months ago I installed GreyBlur using the instructions posted on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1070076

I have the Bell Atrix, and I was wondering if there is anyway I can get my hands on this GingerBread rom?

thanks

But do I need to put the original back before updating to gingerbread (when available) or will it be possible to update to Bell gingerbread from my french retail sbf?
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
NFHimself released the Bell 2.3.4 Gobstopper Its the best, and easiest way to get to the Bell unreleased gingerbread rom. Make sure you have your phone bootloader unlocked, and have the tenfar unlocked recovery installed. Its pretty simple, just download the 2.3.4 zip, and flash it with the tenfar recovery.

There's also a 2.2.2 gobstopper to get you back to the stock bell 2.2.2.
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
Has anyone that's had the ability to download this update been able to copy it from the /cache directory and post it? I tried to do an update with my phone, but my phone is "up to date"
[Atrix 4G General] guitar_east:
Negative. That is what we are all awaiting.
[Atrix 4G General] kryptonix:

oh yes downloading the OTA now.. gobstopper 2.2.2 on singapore atrix :D

I just received a update in acton ontario at 4:30, the update is hitting the GTA :)
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
Yeah OTA was previously in testing. Guess its good to go.
[Atrix 4G General] belkbuzze:
The update should now be available to everyone.

Can anyone confirm if the bootloader is unlockable (sorry: i'm too noob to figure out myself yet)
[Atrix 4G General] NFHimself:
I am downloading it now. :)

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G General] belkbuzze:
Excellent :)

If by any chance you can figure out if it's safe to upgrade for someone who will want to install CM7 when it will be final, feel free to keep us posted!
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
+1

I am also very interested hearing about this too...
[Atrix 4G General] dillfever:
yes I'm waiting on installing to phone for that reason also......will we be able to unlock the BL if needed.......thanks dill
[Atrix 4G General] ratatouille:
15 minutes and still at 0%.... I guess the server is loaded....
[Atrix 4G General] dillfever:
took me about 1hr 15mins for download......just waiting on more info befor I install..........lol
[Atrix 4G General] Cheeseman-:
Should I keep the screen running or is it fine for it to turn-off while downloading over WiFi?
[Atrix 4G General] dillfever:
it can turn off no problemo
[Atrix 4G General] Cheeseman-:
Alright awesome. Thanks or the quick assurance.:)

So we finally get to taste Gingerbread. I certainly hope the official update was worth the wait though, cause I for one didn't care to void my warranty just yet.
[Atrix 4G General] guitar_east:
Are you going to pull the update and test it? Mine is currently downloading and I'm at work for a few more hours...and if you're going to post it I'd rather not wait and go home root it and such.

edit: Actually yeah, it seems it's pushing everywhere now. I'll go ahead and update mine as I won't be home for quite a while and wouldn't be able to post the file until tomorrow or the next day. Someone else will post it I'm sure
[Atrix 4G General] IUH1991:
Yeah, it's available for download on the Motorola website too just in case it's taking too long for the OTA method.
[Atrix 4G General] person101:
Should I re-download Gingerbreak and unroot the phone or will it update just fine like the last update?
[Atrix 4G General] RobUncorked:
I'm also rooted and would like to upgrade.. but also need to know if I need to unroot first.
[Atrix 4G General] davisx:
To download the update and install manually, go here:

www_motorola_com/Support/CA-EN/sdcards-MR2/Atrix

Much faster than using the OS.

I had to change the link because I had less than 8 posts so it wouldn't let me properly post the link.
[Atrix 4G General] dillfever:
I had no problem downloading the update, just waiting on some info on will we still be able to unlock Boot Loader before I install to phone..... and yes I am rooted....
[Atrix 4G General] RobUncorked:
Sweet. Keep me posted then.
[Atrix 4G General] Ratchet556:
If i am already unlocked prior to installing this will i retain the unlock or will i have to reflash ihop?
[Atrix 4G General] NFHimself:
First impressions are good, there have been a few tweaks here and there to the GB leak.

Installed perfectly after the 2.2.2 Gobstoppper, proof of concept confirmed there. :)

Applied ihop_bell, worked fine, installed tenfar's unlocked CWM recovery, used adb while in there to change the permissions back on /system/bin/su and /system/bin/shsu to 06755. Easy root.

So, while the bootloader is not unlocked, you can still install pudding without issue.

Also applied my new ramfix zip to add the kernel cmdline to the recovery and boot. One minor issue is that if the recovery partition has a kernel cmdline, it will be used for boot as well, so it will inherit whatever was baked into it. What I did was use the cmdline binary as setcmdline to set both to "". then rebooted into recovery again and installed the Ramfix.zip again.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G General] NFHimself:
Hi,

I have the zip file pulled from cache already if people need it, but I think I just read it's on motorola's site now. I'll be doing up another Gobstopper to replace the leak version of GB, but stock this time like the 2.2.2.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G General] psolovyov:
Just got an update notice -> 50% done almost.

PS:Sorry I cant really be of help with getting the OS files as I'm a newb.
[Atrix 4G General] dillfever:
so there won't be any problem to just root after update install???? for now...lol
[Atrix 4G General] NFHimself:
If you have su in /system/bin then you don't have to do much other than mount system from adb while in CWM recovery and do a chmod 06755 /system/bin/su, then go find superuser on the market.

If you used gob 2.2.2, you can use shsu as well, superuser not required while using adb.

/ # mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system

/ # chmod 06755 /system/bin/su

/ # chmod 06755 /system/bin/shsu

/ # sync

/ # umount -l /system

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G General] Ratchet556:
Okay i guess that answers my question XD

Anyone try gingerbreak to re-root ?? I was totally stock and am in process of downloading the OTA.
[Atrix 4G General] cgallagher:
Just finished downloading the update and after the reboot I get the screen showing the android with a caution symbol with a yellow ! in it. Is my phone now bricked. I was rooted with gingerbreak but unrooted it before the download. HELP!
[Atrix 4G General] morrislee:
There is no way I can cancel the download eh? I managed to download the zip way faster than the OTA. I started the OTA and saw the link someone provided here :(

Downloading so slow!~~~
[Atrix 4G General] dezzo77:
The update became available here in Halifax late this afternoon.

I'm finally downloading it now over WiFi, but it's taking an extremely long time (as do all downloads on the Atrix for some reason), and I'd like to cancel the OTA download and update it manually from my SD Card instead to speed things up.

Anyone know how the download can be cancelled?

I can't find a way to do it. I even rebooted the phone, and it resumed downloading right after the restart. Ugh.
[Atrix 4G General] psolovyov:
I think the only way to do it is probably to "Force close" the task that is downloading the file. Look it up in "Applications"

But this is probably not a good idea as there is no link or official release from Bell/Motorolla. Just wait it out. Its taken me an hour to download, not that bad.
[Atrix 4G General] dezzo77:
Yeah I think I will just wait. I hope rebooting the phone in the middle of the update didn't harm anything. I imagine though that this would be a scenario they tested for during development, so I'm likely ok. lol

I'm just impatient, and all too often it seems like I'm at the mercy of technology, rather than in control of it, which in this case is waiting for an update that should download in about 3 minutes under normal circumstances.

I would love to know why the Atrix is so slow at downloading over ANY connection. Even Market downloads are far slower on the Atrix than other Android devices I have. It's been mentioned numerous times by users as an issue with this device. I was hoping the Gingerbread update would fix it, but from reading the release notes it sounds as if it's actually a pretty basic update as far as fixes go.
[Atrix 4G General] IUH1991:
Has anyone tried fastboot oem unlock?
[Atrix 4G General] psolovyov:
Although my knowledge of actual hardware and software of atrix is very limited I would have to disagree with you....as downloading a 150mb+ file on a wifi network takes time even on a desktop.

I think we just got used to 1-5mb/s speeds of cable internet.

PS: I'm installing this thing right now. Takes a bit of time.
[Atrix 4G General] ratatouille:
Could not root.
[Atrix 4G General] dillfever:
well I'm not sure what you mean exactly.... yes I have su and shsu in bin I also have superuser in my app's so I don't follow this(mount system from adb while in CWM recovery and do a chmod 06755 /system/bin/su, then go find superuser on the market.) and do a chmod 06755 is this what I type in in adb??? sorry for being so brain dead..... thanks dill
[Atrix 4G General] NFHimself:
Yes, you would type that while in adb, connected while the phone is in recovery mode, using a CWM that enables adb while in recovery. The shell setup in tenfars shows the path in front of the shell prompt, hence the / #.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G General] morrislee:
Crap, I have the dockservice.apk and all the other stuff modded, it won't pass the verification, I get assert failed: apply_patch_check ("/system/app/DockService.apk" and all bunch other gibberish (hash code I presume)

anyway to force update the package without the check?
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
installed and rooted the new rom. I see you tweaked your 2.3.4. gobbstopper so modding that may not be as simple as I originally thought. not sure if I will play with this rom for a bit or restore to kens for the time being.

as for changes:

the gallery has been improved from the leak. still not the same as the AT&T version and the animations aren't smooth but still better.
[Atrix 4G General] Ratchet556:
i got the caution symbol when trying to install over gobstopper so i pulled my battery and it booted into gingerbread but it said Update was not successful and now its acting quite strangely
[Atrix 4G General] CreamyTwinky:
Welp I'm from Brampton (near Toronto), Ontario and just restarted the phone and went to check updates and now I am downloading it. =)

sweet.

fyi.....I did not sign up for any beta testing either
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
something probably went wrong (similar happened to me but I didn't reboot) I just tried the update again (actually i switched and installed using CWM)

if you do see the caution symbol, remember to tap the lower right corner of the screen to see whats up.

If I were you I would try to install the update again with cwm or through regular recovery (rename the zip to update.zip)

[Atrix 4G General] dillfever:
thank you done I'm rooted now......just wondering in TIB it shows System Rom 335MB (14.2MB free) is that about right???
[Atrix 4G General] TheMan0790:
Hey guys. Im also coming from the 2.2.2 gob. I got the update, but I also get the exclamation point with the Android guy in the recovery. My error is can't read (or open I believe) cache/recovery/command. Any thoughts?
[Atrix 4G General] guitar_east:
I had a similar, yet worse, problem with LauncherPro. Upon the update, LauncherPro kept freezing and the screen wasn't refreshing. Everything was just blobbing together. The phone locked up and then rebooted itself. I uninstalled LauncherPro, then had access to the new Motoblur home launcher. It still isn't for me. A fresh install of LauncherPro is working smooth now.

On a side note, I now am only getting 1800 in Quadrant. Down from around 2200. I know those benchmarks mean nothing, but still interesting indeed. I remember a similar drop off from when the Nexus One got updated to 2.3.

Another small note about the update. Anyone find the new screen transitions absolutely horrible? The way things just zoom and spring is really embarrassing and incomplete looking. Animations off for me...which sadly means no nice screen off animation.
[Atrix 4G General] BJNK:
Is there any need for a dump of this file now that everyone is getting it and there is a link to motorolas site?
[Atrix 4G General] morrislee:
For the life of me, i can never get pass the DockService.apk assert failed error even after i replaced the file with the "original one" from someone else's dump. I replaced it with root explorer but still no avail.

please help!!
[Atrix 4G General] Cheeseman-:
The update is official for everyone now and it is apparent the previous was selective beta testing before this release.

Either-way, congratulations and welcome to the GingerClub.:p
[Atrix 4G General] iviki:
Anyone got Google talk video chat working after this update? Somehow I don't see video icon, the other end is a 3.2 tablet.
[Atrix 4G General] KingMike67:
@y2whisper - Thanks so much bro, I had the same problem as Ratchet556, tried your method through CWM and it worked perfect

@NFHimself - Thanks for the tips on rooting, worked perfect. And thanks for the Gobstopper of 2.2.2, I used that as my stepping stone and everything works perfect now! :D

If anyone is wondering, faux's 0.1.9 kernel works perfect with this update so far. Not that it means a great deal but here is a screen shot of quadrant with the 0.1.9 kernel

Thanks XDA for all the help!
[Atrix 4G General] psolovyov:
It feels as though the whole system got slowed down to 70%. The only saving grace is the new features like: audio can be skipped without unlocking the phone, zoom in camera and video, light in video, able to delete different notifications.

Other than that, this is kind of dissapointing....almost feels like a beta release of gingerbread....very slow and clunky. I almost feel like I would be better off with 2.2
