Correct, the unlocked bootloader is going to remain unlocked (although it's possible to get rid of the unlocked message when you boot up) and use fruitcakes from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1163009 if you're on gingerbread to go back to a stock rom.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EzEddie:
So does using the fruitcakes through cwm remove the unlocked? I was under the impression that using fruitcakes was just like flashing any other .zip rom and the "unlocked" would remain.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsingh2011:
Back when I flashed older stock versions with RSD, the unlocked would disappear. Yesterday I flashed a fruitcake for the first time, but the unlocked was still there. So something about the sbf files got rid of the unlocked text. This means that installing a fruitcake won't get rid of it, but it's definitely possible. I don't know how though, sorry. You could try flashing a 2.3.4 sbf but that's highly discourage because it causes hard bricks.

Hi !

Digging some old thread here, i was stuck with the same problem, how to restore a KIES backup to a non samsung ROM.

As far as I know, there are third party tools that can deal with your problem.

For example, you can try mobiletrans (google that), it can save and restore a lot of stuff from mobile to mobile or from a KIES backup, but it isn't brand specific.

I have an ATT Captivate which I managed to update from original Android 2.1 to 2.2 firmware, version I897UCJI6.

This was before ATT release their official 2.2 update.

I also managed to unlock the phone.

I have to admit I am totally ignorant of this stuff, and I was lucky enough not to brick my phone during those updates.

I am very unhappy with the battery life of my phone, and I read that the Gingerbread dramatically improves this aspect.

So, shall I upgrade to Gingerbread?

If yes, I am confused with the many sites which offer advice with how to do this, some contradicting with others. (One indicated to reverse back to 2.1 before upgrading to 2.3, other didn't say that, etc etc)

Should this upgrade be successfull, what happens to the lock/unlock status?

Do I need to unlock again?

Which is a trusted site?

Any advice?

If I follow Przekret's link, I do NOT need bootloadres first (they are included)

If you need bootloaders, don't use Cezars.

As these are stock roms, you will lose root. But if you flash any custom ROM, it should be rooted.

No method is incorrect. I would flash Bootloaders firs because there seems to be less chance to hard brick (I've noticed sometimes ODIN doesn't flash one bootloader after another).

Unless you bought that phone modded with the GB bootloaders you need them. No real way to know except flashing a GB rom like cezars package. If it works You didn't need them, If it din't work then you soft bricked your phone and you might need a jig to get in to Download mode again.
