You instructions are confusing in parts and also have not worked for me. When I open up the CMD and type in : fastbook oem unlock. It just says waiting for device.

What do you mean in point 9? You say if RSD does not respond to take out battery?:

Then do we still follow the rest of point 9 if the flash from RSDlite was successful? It is not very clear what we do next before running the cmd command? You say to press up once when in fastboot on the phone. Don't we have to press the power button?

Thanks.

I'm installing MROM.....

As the post states, I'm going to install MROM to the Atrix.

Right now the only thing done to it is the SIM is unlocked for any carrier.

Do I need to ROOT the phone, as well as unlock the Bootloader?

I do not want to keep the original BELL ROM, I don't even want a BU of it.

I have the 'BELL/Atrix 4G OEM ROM' zip to flash if needed.
[Atrix 4G General] andresrivas:
Then you only need to unlock the bootloader and install cwm 5.0.2.x the version with full atrix support, so you can make a backup and ibstall anything. But always make a backup if you will switch to another rom, just in case

Ummmm,,, "Is your search not working?"

SERIOUSLY?!

Well isn't that the most arrogant answer I've seen today!

Did you get your 1255 posts with answers like that?

A simple YES or NO would of sufficed, but instead you made yourself look like an {content removed}.

@ andresrivas

I think I should be over at the MROM post now, the MROM has the Kernel and CWM if I'm right.

All this stuff can be quite daunting, for a 1st timer n00b.

I've listened to my BF do this for his friends and himself, and now I'm doing this as a gift for him as his Atrix burnt up.

He's replaced his phone with a different one, but he liked this one so much I thought I would do one up for him, like he had it before.

The good thing is, there is all the old software in the PC needed to do this.

That I can find easily, the stuff on the forum is piled neck deep,,,,,I feel overwhelmed with the information.

Unlocked bootloader = flash custom ROMs

SIM unlocked = carrrier unlocked

[Atrix 4G General] andresrivas:
Yup, all this seems scary, but reading will save you a lot of hassle.

Mrom (not mrom-ics) seems to be the best rom for a newcomer. It has very good performance and it's very well documented, here and at the official site. As for recovery, I highly recommend you to get the 5.0.2.x (i think it was like that the version. The one starting with 5) and not to go to version 6.x because it has incompatibility with some roms. Read the full unlocking tutorial prior to execute it and if any foubt comes, use seaech, many many questions have been asked and answered across the years, but aren't all compiled in one place. If you can't find them, ask

I hope its not too late, but you have to unlock the bootloader 100% if you want to run a custom rom. if your sim is unlocked it will be forever. and root is dependent of the features and apps you want to run on your custom rom, but many roms come rooted already. Be careful with root, it technically makes your phone more susceptible to hacking.

can i use automatic bootloader for korean skt version running 2.3.5 or flashing the

automatic bootloader is for att only & this sbf for non att users. i am confused.

in the build prop. i have find that "temporary enable AT&T NSUI system from system prop".

i just need a little clarification .could you please tell me.

[MENTION=6483518]ravibhupathi[/MENTION] I'm going to have to agree with [MENTION=2315905]ravilov[/MENTION] on this one. Unless its an RSD lite script, don't do anything with automatic on this device. Also, you need to search for the fix for your issue. There are threads about that error. You can use google. Its not hard.
[Atrix 4G General] ravibhupathi:
i have searched for the fix in xda,but there is only one fix.and that

fix is for only AT&T versions only. not for international users.:crying:

if you know any thing please suggest me
[Atrix 4G General] ravibhupathi:
good news

:good:i just found the solution to this "failed to boot 3"

ONLY FOR SKT & KT VERSIONS

for this korean skt phones, by following the guide lines you will end with the "failed to boot 3" screen's only

the tricky part comes here: (for korean skt atrix mb860 users only)

after downloading RSD Lite and int-fix-try1.sbf

you have to download one more sbf file which is austrilan roman (size=617.462mb) http://www.startpda.kr/zbxe/index.php?mid=pds_rom&category=1217833&document_srl=2494955

transilate it so you can understand it.

now run the RSD Lite then connect the phone with (100% charging) press the power+vol up key,

there you see the failed to boot 3 & starting RSD. then you see the RSD has connected...

now press the ". . ." & then choose the big sbf file you have just downloded now it will take some

time for com completing 100%. and now your phone will reboots with austrilan rom.

then you can flash the "int-fix-try1.sbf' finally you can follow this thred's guide lines.

hope this will help all those korean users to unlock there bootloader sucessfully.:highfive:

[Atrix 4G General] Vic-15:
Smooth until the last step

Hi,

I followed all of the steps, and after I entered "fastboot oem unlock [my unique id]", my phone said "Unlocking your device may VOID your warranty", as expected.

My command prompt, however, will not proceed any further. I have been waiting for 15-25 minutes and it will not say "unlocked". Last thing is gives me is "..."

Should I perform a battery pull and try again? I can't type anything in my command prompt.
[Atrix 4G General] tayshun12:
This could be a couple of things.

1. Did RSDLite run properly in the steps before this?

If so I would definitely try to perform a battery pull and try again

2. It may also have a problem if you are usinga desktop USB port on the front of your computer. Try plugging directly into your motherboard at the back.

3.If all else fails, Try clicking your 'start' type "cmd" and when the app shows up, Right click it and 'run as administrator'

Please get back to me with your findings !
[Atrix 4G General] thantos:
Could someone clarify something for me? A few months ago when I read about the unlocking procedure, I remember it was mentioned there was a side-effect to unlocking. I think it was that once unlocked, you wouldn't be able to update your phone via the OTAs provided by the provider.

Is that still the case? I'd like to unlock the bootloader in the event the phone doesn't get ICS or any further updates from Bell. However, if my old hero was any example, CM can sometimes be much less stable than provider builds and I wouldn't like to be left out from the original provider roms.
[Atrix 4G General] againareku:
Awesome thread. I'm actually considering buying a Bell atrix locally for about $280 and selling my AT&T atrix to offset the cost. I figure whatever I spend out of pocket I'll make back in a few months

The pudding thread always rubbed me the wrong way...It is so confusing I didn't even USE the thread to unlock and just based myself off other random threads

and this whole food thing is out of control..pudding..fruitcakes..it makes things more confusing than they have to be..it's easier to just say "unlocked bootloader" and "stripped SBF"
[Atrix 4G General] Fuzzypits:
I can't get it to work. Everything works fine until step step 13. When I try that I get this:

I read in this thread and elsewhere it's an issue with drivers, and the drivers supplied in the pudding thread didn't work, it said my processor doesn't support them. So instead of using those I manually installed the latest drivers and it still doesn't work.

If anyone could help me out I'd be super grateful!!! Cheers.

im also having the same problem The atrix that i have has 2.2.2. System version 4.4.20.MB860.Orange.en.GB. When I connect to moto software it shows my phone is up to date and there are no updates available. I have rooted my phone and also its not being used under the Orange UK carrier anymore. Is this the reason why im not getting any official updates? if so, is there any way that i can upgrade to 2.3.4??...although i have seen how to get 2.3.4 from 2.2.2 for ATT US...can i try that on my phone without bricking it?and if i cant upgrade then can i just follow tayshun12's instructions to get Nottach's Darkside ROM installed in my atrix?

can anyone Please help.i am new at all this and getting really confused...thanks in advance:)
[Atrix 4G General] tayshun12:
What version of windows are you running? I used windows 7 x64 so make sure you are using the correct drivers!

I dont think having the bootloader unlocked would not allow you to update your stock firmware. It just gives you the option to put custom firmwares on. What it does do for certain is put an 'unlocked' text at the top left of your phone so that if you ever send it back to moto they know you unlocked it. unlocking DOES void your warranty. But if you stick to THE ORIGINAL CARRIERS FIRMWARE ( ATT= ATT, BELL = BELL. NEVER ATT= BELL , Vice Versa) or use a firmware with a UNIFIED KERNEL(they will usually say FAUX123 somewhere in the thread) you WILL be fine! especially after you put on the custom recovery.

I will have to look into that for you. I want to say that this will work for 2.2.2+ but I would not want you to take any risks. EDIT: under the pudding thread there is no specific version for your phone. My 2 cents says that it will work on your version because they do not have anything specific.

[Atrix 4G General] littleemp:
My Atrix came yesterday and it was apparently MB860.O2.DE on Froyo 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 and was 'up to date'. (I cannot fathom what possessed them to sell german phones on America, but whatever...) I decided to just wing it and consider it an "International" phone per your instructions, worst case scenario I guessed that I would have to flash a new kernel manually.

Since I couldn't wait to get rid of that abortion Motorola calls MotoBlur, I unlocked the bootloader, rooted (should probably add that step to the guide, since it's not necessarily obvious to new people... :p), loaded CWM, and installed The DarkSide 3.1.2 Lite ROM with no problems other than had to apply the RAM fix for international Atrix after I was done in order to see all of my memory.

Hopefully this will either give enough courage to you guys waiting on what to do or at least some info on which phones/OS Versions the process will work.

Issues not being able to boot to CWM recovery or deleting install-recovery.sh

I had this issue and this may be a solution, as it was for me. So I'll make this noticeable since it seems unclear to many.

Anyone having issues not being able to boot into CWM recovery after flashing it (such as seeing android guy with exclamation mark)

:

Delete or rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

AND

/etc/install-recovery.sh I renamed mine to bkup.install-recovery.sh in case i ever wanted to use them again for some reason.

/etc/install-recovery.sh will automatically be placed in /system/etc if /system/etc/install-recovery.sh is not found on boot.

So, you must delete or rename both,

THEN

INSTALL CWM recovery.

I renamed the files using ROM Toolbox's root explorer as some file explorers will not give you the proper access levels to delete or rename the files correctly.

Note: If you are booting into recovery and are stuck on the screen with the Android guy and the exclamation mark warning symbol, it is actually not frozen. Press volume up or volume up and down at the same time (i forget which works) and it brings up the stock android recovery menu (not CWM) and you can reboot from there instead of pulling the battery if you wish.
[Atrix 4G General] rockthatswims:
Thank you for the reply.

The other file browsers weren't letting me delete/rename the file so I downloaded ROM Toolbox that you mentioned. When I tried to load it up it told me I wasn't rooted and closed. I found and used a root method which was very easy (would link but apparently I'm not allowed to yet)

After that I was able to rename the files and I've gone through the recovery steps again. I should be good to try new roms now!

Thanks to the OP for an awesome guide and ar31791 for the tip about using rom toolbox. I'd never be able to to do this on my own so I really appreciate that people like you help out.

Thanks

Edit: I used RomRacers and it worked fine. Now I'm on CM7 :) The only issue is that Rom Manager pesters you to install ClockworkMod every time you open it so it's pretty much useless. Would it be good or bad to install it through Rom Manager? I imagine it would replace RomRacers...
