No, the bootloader unlock will not be rolled into an update. They're not unlocking for everyone. They will be providing a tool for those that choose to unlock -- along with the requisite warnings about warranty voiding and so on.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slade8525:
Hey guys, i think i bricked my Atrix. I was trying to flash CM7. The phone is rooted, SIM unlocked, and was running the stock 2.3.4 ROM on ATT 4.5.91. It was fully funtional (well aside from endless reboots, hangs, crashes, etc) until this evening. it wont get past the dual core screen. i need this damn thing for work. preferably by tomorrow.

heres exactly what i did, in order, and with whatever versions i was able to remember.

I snagged the latest CM7 ROM, Dec 10.

Also snagged ATT latest radio ROM.

had Clockwork Recovery installed already

-DEVICE IS ROOTED, BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED AND SIM UNLOCKED-

batch backed up all user apps

attempted to boot into CWM recovery with power+vol down

-kept getting android exclamation point icon

-plugged phone in and went via CWM (when it boots, if its plugged in i get into recovery mode)

went to backup and restore, made backup of internal SD card to external SD card

installed CM7 ROM from EXTERNAL sd card (just noticed it says to install from INTERNAL SD card)

did NOT data wipe/factory reset, was rushing through and totally forgot :(

DID wipe cache partition

installed latest radio ROM

attempted to reboot

all i get is the dual core screen.

can i reflash, wipe, or reset it via RSD lite, or some other way? NV flash? any help would be great; i have an old HTC tilt i can use but good god who wants to use THAT nowadays?

...and btw i am not so much a noob as much as i am impatient; i rushed through this (i have screwed with this phone and others a lot, and should have paid more attention. i JUST finished building 2 home server rigs tonight, including manually recovering files from some fools RAID0 arrays and got cocky :(
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beeboobop:
Have you tried redoing the process? Doing proper wipes and then installing cm7? Also, how long did you wait until you decide it was no good?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiderx_mm:
let's say if you can still go into CWM recovery, you can try factory reset, and then do the installation form the zip again. don't forget to wipe the data this time, but according to what you've written, you only see triangle with exclamation mark (default android recovery??), then may be you can choose RSD mode at the start-up and flash a stock ATT Rom first, then, follow the correct footsteps. Don't worry, Atrix is really hard to be bricked totally. :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slade8525:
i cant get past the dual core screen, but i do have access to RSD lite and it sees the atrix, so im waiting for the same stock 2.3.4 rom to download, flash, and retry (correctly this time). thanks so far! i have NEVER been able to access recovery via vol down and power for some reason on this phone.

EDIT/UPDATE

well, attempting to flash the original SBF via RSD lite 5.6 didnt help; now i get the dual core boot screen, but i cant enter RSD protocl support OR anything via power/vol down, and upon turning it on, the screen no longer says 'unlocked'. awesome.

i get to 99% flashing the stock SBF, and get this message. RSD lite is no longer recognizing the phone, vol up and power does nothing, basically i have the dual core screen and thats it.

'Error switching phone to BP Pass through mode'

...thoughts?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
DO NOT take this advice! Flashing SBF after unlocking bootloader can absolutely be the fastest way to brick your phone. Also, it is very easy to brick your phone!

Can you get into fastboot?

Try a full wipe per below:

reboot to fastboot

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase webtop

fastboot erase preinstall

fastboot reboot (to recovery)

flash ROM

If you can't get into recovery, you can flash the ROM through fastboot, and also flash romracers recovery.

This will give you the cleanest install. After flashing CM7, leave your phone sitting until it boots into the OS, which can take 15 minutes. I believe the long first boot times after flashing are due to the kernel being flashed with the ROM. Then leave it another 10 minutes before flashing the radio, (latest radio for ATT Atrix is 36P radio found in the Fruitcake thread).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ltdanno360:
yes USE FASTBOOT
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slade8525:
ok things have now gotten VERY strange. First off, my Atrix was SIM unlocked, bootloader unlocked, and rooted on 2.3.4 4.1.91.

for over 5 hours i tried everything, figuring it was hard bricked. i went to sleep, with the intent of heading over to ATT to get it replaced under warranty.

...power it on just for the hell of it, and IT BOOTED. stock 2.3.4. does NOT accept the t-mobile sim (NO LONGER SAYS UNLOCKED ON BOOT SCREEN), and apparently is not rooted OR bootloader unlocked from what i can tell. i had left the battery out the whole time, but left it plugged into the wall charger.

so now i guess i root, BL unlock, SIM unlock, and CORRECTLY flash CM7... FUN!

UPDATE

Rooted, bootloader unlocked, SIM (still) unlocked, and running CM7. thanks to everyone! i still have NO IDEA how it went from a hard brick to a stock boot, with locked BL and no root.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Savant:
Your bootloader won't lock again and when you do a stock sbf it will get rid of root.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slade8525:
i am aware the BL cannot be locked again, i went through the process mostly because i wasnt sure, my phone no longer said unlocked in the top left, so i also checked to make sure it was SIM unlocked. i have NO IDEA what/how i did what i did, but im up and running CM7 now, so no worries.

"http:" no other site will load. so i thought it was a rom problem "originally on oodie prime7" then moved to some other miui rom and im still having the same issue but now i cant sign into my google account.... oddly enough the browser still works with facebook but thats it.

im on wifi. i have switched to other wifi connects and used different routers in my house. all the same issues. so its not my router or any other router

update: just tried searching something through the google search widget.. it opens up the browser and says the same thing "web page not available"

update 2: just tried completely resetting phone back to stock by re-branding and running it through PC companion.. still exact same issue but with doing that i can no longer connect to the facebook website. just flashed back to miui rom (cant stand looking at stock rom).. please someone help me

Hello,

I have a xt860 Bell/ca phone.

I see updates available but with clockworkmod I cannot install them.

- Is there a way to go back to stock recovery?

Thank you!
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Yess press x+power (then press both vol+ and- ) or m+power (I don't remember) when the phone is off
[Motorola Droid 3] #G#:
Hello,

x shows an exclamation mark and a little android.

m launches a menu and when I choose recovery it does the same

This suggestion is aimed at rebooting entering stock receovery? I guess it is gone and there is only cwm... any way of restoring the original one?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
press vol +- at the same time when you see the little android
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Stock recovery is not removed y installing CWM, from the exclamation point screen press volume up and volume down together. If you are trying to accept the OTA you need to remove the hijack and modified logwrapper. I cannot for the life of me remember where they are located.
[Motorola Droid 3] #G#:
this i great news to read :D

yep this is what I am trying to do :)

:confused: this is where I need help / specific hints.

If there was SBF I'd restock the whole phone and start from there.

I read there is no Bell SBF.

What steps can I take then?

I have no clue :( I think I used odin or similar to flash CWM...

Please share any ideas.

Thanks!

[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Odin is a samsung thing. there are no fastboot files(sbf)for bell. If you end up bricked there are fastboot files for other carriers you can use to recover, but atm you can't get back to bell.

CWM installs through an apk on the xt860…I don't know how you would flash it on to the phone.

I'll look for those files after work
[Motorola Droid 3] #G#:

Hello,

Any news/hints?

Thanks :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
2nd-int and hijack.killall can be found in /sbin. Take those files out and it may work. I suggest moving them to your sdcard rather than deleting them just to be safe. Did you use bootstrap, safestrap or rom manager to install CWM?
[Motorola Droid 3] danifunker:
I think I have what you need...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1449027

That is a dd image of each of the partitions.

You should try to apply the stock recovery partition first, so download the 4th link unzip it then copy the recovery partition to the SDCard, then run the command as root (in block 1), from your computer with ADB connection to it:

adb shell
su dd if=/sdcard/recovery-mmcblk1p16.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p16

Try to restart into recovery mode and see if it works.

If it still isn't working, you can put back the factory image of the /system by downloading the 3rd link, then copying the *EXTRACTED* file to the sdcard then run the following command from your computer with ADB connection to it:

adb shell
su dd if=/sdcard/system-mmcblk1p21.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p21

I'm not responsible if it bricks your phone, but I'm *pretty* sure it wil work. I've given the same instructions to another user before and it worked fine.

Hello!

fyi in /sbin I only find:

-rwxr-x--- root root 117976 1970-01-01 01:00 adbd.old

lrwxrwxrwx root root 1970-01-01 01:00 ueventd -> ../init

and doing a search (find command missing on cli, used root total commander) returned no results.

I do not remember what I used to install CWM, probably a guide on xda found at the beginning of december / pete tools I think.

@Danifunker, I cannot download anything since fbi blocked Megaupload. :((

[edit] users from Holland could find just Megaupload in mirror page.. using it from IT I could see all other mirrors.

First result dd if=[...]/recovery-mmcblk1p16.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p16 = still CWM, now downloading system :)

Yay! Second result = dd if=/path/to/system.image of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p21 = perfect!

Thanks, super thanks :) If you hadn't done this dd image I would have been stuck I guess.

Now I have the 2.3.6 latest stock rom;

I'll do a dd of /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 for system

mmcblk1p23 for preinstall (and understand how to restore it / with what aim)

mmcblk1p22 for cache (what is the use of this iyo? Shouldn't we just clear cache partition?)

in all the rest: what can actually be used and for what?

and what else?

Once done I'll multiupload them :)

I'm on the same boat I'm getting bored of the phone or maybe android I quite can't say which until I used WP7 for a month. The design of the GSII is not appealing to me like perhaps Nokia N9 etc same with the built materials of the phone are not very desirable. I feel like Samsung or any company should just really sit down and put full efforts on one great phone instead of shi**ing phones left and right.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
Hmmm.... The reason why I bought the SGSII was because I was hooked on the design of the International version with the Home Button. That phone is slick, love it. But our phone has the same design other than the American stupid main 4 keys. I can't stand how every phone in America has to have the 4 main keys. At least get rid of the Search key...so dumb!

So I was looking around on Verizon's website for Xoom accessories. They are at a severely discounted price but most of it is sold out. Now when you set to see accessories for the Xoom, it shows the keyboard folio as out of stock, but I discoverer that if you click on it, sometimes it will give you the option to order it. The trick is not to click on the option for the overview of all accessories, you want to hit the button to see all recommended accessories. Once there, the case is shown as in stock.
