For anyone else having trouble bringing their phone back to stock, I wanted to share my experience from the other day. I had just unlocked my bootloader and rooted the phone and it had been running fine after doing both processes. I was trying out the "Switch Internal to External" mod http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2231480 and it went sideways on me and my phone wouldn't boot. So I wanted to restore it with RSD. I kept getting an error, even after deleting the two lines from the XML that all the guides reference. I downloaded several different copies of the latest JB stock rom and all gave the same result. I even swapped the XML file from the archive with the one provided in one of the posts on XDA thinking I was editing the file incorrectly.

So, finally I thought maybe the unlocked bootloader might have something to do with these two lines from the XML (RSD was giving the error after step 7 and the first line below is #8):

<step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_set" />

<step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_clear" />

and I deleted them from the XML. I ran RSD and it successfully flashed my phone back to stock and it's run fine for three days now. Maybe it was dumb luck and those lines didn't change anything but I was really starting to think I had bombed my phone because umpteen attempts at RSD hadn't worked and I couldn't even get into Recovery so I was open to trying whatever I could to fix it. Hope this helps anyone caught in the same situation I was in.

every time i read these posts people have no issues at all for the most part wit this stuff and every time i go to do the same stuff step by step i get nowhere fast and endup with a total lack of sleep. ok heres the deal:

rooted, unlocked bl, and started to flash the new aokp rom. something went wrong with that and i couldnt get gapps to flash. and after the rom installed i lost SS3. now i just want to rsd back to normal so i can try AGAIN but i keep getting path errors saying that the path is to long or i dont have enough space ( i got a 32gb card that aint even close to half full). i dont have another computer i can try this on (im bleeping broke people) so i need it to work on this turd. i have tried everything from post 1 to the post right above me. yes i have the latest drivers and the latest rsd. im not that stupid people. phone still works fine for now but lack of gapps sucks. at this point i dont even care if its 100% locked down on stock forever i just want stuff to work right. any help with be rewarded with a plastic nic nac from walmart valued at $0.25
[Motorola Atrix HD] huatz84:
How can you lose ss3? It runs at boot automatically and if you're on aokp,you can't remove it from menu coz it isn't there.

You said you got a 32gb card. Did you mean memory card? Lack of space is your hard disk space not sdcard.

My laptop has 80gbs free. I DONT have ss3. Instead I have this nasty looking buggy boot logo. If I could get ss3 working you really think I would he rsding back? No, I would flash pacman and deal with it. Or just flash gapps and use this ROM. I'm posting here because SS3 WONT WORK FOR ME. Im just gonna fastboot this thing when i get home
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
Yeah don't flash files not for your phone. That'll turn your big heavy bionic into a true brick ;)

MAKE SURE your battery is at least 80%, it won't flash if not, at least my personal issue with RDS 6.1.4 it does work though.
[Motorola Atrix HD] FirestrmNH:
Well, that was fun...

Short and sweet, spent the last day trying to get back to stock due to various issues encountered with custom roms. GPS not working, flakey wifi, non-functional audio. I've tried every rom out there over the last 24 hours, there is a lot of great work, but none of them quite worked for me yet.

I tried to put stock kernels back in, none would allow me to get back to square one :(

Skeevey420 provided a lot of assistance in various forums. Thank you! There are several other sources that shared information that I didn't remember to grab handles. Thank you to those I wasn't able to name.

I ended up downloading from here:

((ht tp))sbf.droid-developers-org-slash-dinara -slash-list.php

Downloaded this to return the device back to stock:

MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA.xml.zip

There are two lines to edit out of the XML to allow it to load via RSD Lite ( neglected to copy down the lines, they can be found on the forum)

I was able to find a download for this fromToto Rola (Thank you too!)

Put your device into fastboot, once the XML is edited out, select the .zip file, decompress and flash away.

This brought my phone back to factory (minus the unlocked boot loader, which remains unlocked).

Use Mattlgroff's motochopper to get root back. And you can start from square 1 again.
[Motorola Atrix HD] dizz232:
Cant get this to work, I have the low battery message on the fastboot screen. any help would be great. I have a bricked fancy phone. Tried various button combos to no avail. Please someone point me in the right direction to get this atrix hd working.

Thank you
[Motorola Atrix HD] FirestrmNH:
I strongly suggest charging the phone for at least an hour with the screen off if possible.

Press and hold all three buttons at once until the screen turns off, release and hold DOWN only, but before the logo comes up. My Atrix HD is still a bit stiff on the buttons and does take a bit of pushing to make all the buttons connect.

that should allow you to flash the zip file in RSD. The file I listed in my post above brought mine back to factory stock including boot manager.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Wormboymx:
for this issue, move the stock rom to the desktop, BUT............... RENAME THE ARCHIVES:

7.7.1Q-144_MB886_MR1-22_SIGNED_CFC.xml -------------- to ICS.zip

MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA.xml -------------- To JB.zip

Then... the problems gone, you can flash stock roms now.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Chronoswing:
Nice guide thanks a lot! Just what I was looking for!
[Motorola Atrix HD] dizz232:
How do i save the file after editing it? I feel stupid. It keeps giving me the error that the file name is too long. Very frustrating.

I have been editing it, then saving it to the desktop, then copying to the Firmwares unzipped folder..

Issues

I have an atrix HD which I rooted and unlocked the boot loader, I then installed CWM, and rom manager, I proceeded to make a back up with rom manager, I thought and so it said, guess not.Ha.

So I then flashed Carbon Rom the Nightly one that is 4.3, It had alot of issues so i was going to recover to to my back up, big surprise, it was not there.Nada, nothing.Okay, So I get it to where I can put the Stock rom and carbon 4.2 on my sd card.

Then I tried to flash the Att rom, I get a dead android with an X over it, just after it starts, lucky me.

Okay, so I then tried Carbon 4.2. It worked after I flashed it twice, so I used myth tools to recover using the stock rom, worst thing I could have done I think because it now boots to show the M logo and says Motorola dual core technology, then eventually, goes to the carbon boot loader screen, and just sits, i can hold the power put and it just restarts, It won't do anything even in CWM, and it says it cannot mount to data now.

I really need alot of help.I just want my phone to work again.

I'd appreciate any fast help.
[Motorola Atrix HD] FirestrmNH:
download RSD lite, use it to restore your phone back to stock. if you read back a few posts, I've listed instructions on where to find, and what to do.
[Motorola Atrix HD] ravensia:
Thanks

I some how missed alot, Guess I was freaking out.

That fixed it and thank you for pointing it out.:highfive:
[Motorola Atrix HD] FirestrmNH:
Glad it worked out. Nothing worse than that sinking feeling when something stops working.

this phone seems more picky, can't remember how many times I've flashed stock, then another rom.
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
I have an AHD on it's way to me, so of course I'm looking at all this stuff.

My intent was that if it had ICS, to let it OTA update to JB, use Dan's one click root, and then safestrap. I'm currently not interested in a CM rom since 10.1, 10.2, and the current kern are not really useful on my A4G - so I run a rooted 141 stock. (after running MROM for so long) KISS!

The question I had with this thread (THANKS!) is, since I don't think you can edit a file that is compressed, I (I use 7zip) decompressed the zip, deleted the 2 lines from the xml, and then recompressed it back to a zip. I assume that is implied but wanted to ask. I have had, at one point or another, to take every phone I've owned back to stock, so prep is wise, imho.

Just how do you get to rsd mode for an AHD - all pressed gives you bootmenu and fastboot, etc. Or does RSD Lite take it to be such when you've sel fastboot on the phone.

Huge thanks.
[Motorola Atrix HD] FirestrmNH:
I'd probably suggest getting all the 'factory' updates first. use the Myth tools to root the device, flash cwm recovery, then any rom that suits you.

You can go into a .zip, move the file out, edit it, then replace it. It's what I've done in the past with this.

For me, I reboot the phone using Adb fastboot, RSD lite I found was more handy to put things back to stock, in case I messed something up. but Myth Tools is a lot more friendly with your time.
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
When you say you reboot the phone using adb fastboot, I assume you mean that you issue that command (inside appropriate folder with all abd junk) on your PC. yes? Just grabbed MythTools...
[Motorola Atrix HD] FirestrmNH:
To me that is the easiest. doing multiple manual reboots into fastboot is tough on the fingertips :)

with myth tools, it's much easier... simple letter command.
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
yeah, I'm looking at their bat files now and see. Will do. Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix HD] FirestrmNH:
I've played around with many roms on here... and Guns Holoblur is by far the fastest, lightest and best on the battery. Suggest that for a rom on your AHD. By far the best phone I've every owned. Longest I've ever had too. Used to change phones every few months.

I found after about 4 hours unplugged, no screen time, with wifi/Bluetooth on at the office, I lose about 1% per hour. :)

happy flashin!
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
Thanks! I'll look at it. I assume I have to do the unlock.

Hey, in menu flash recovery is before root - I thought it had to be rooted to do recovery!!! LOL

Installed the ADB-x-x tools thing in the menu so I should be ready to go. That's farther ahead than I usually am! Yes, light is good for me. I love my Atrix 4g, so this should be tops! Thanks again!

Hey what do you do if it locks? I'm used to pulling the battery... I can see myself peeling the back off and unscrewing a battery terminal... (yes, the tools are on order) :laugh:
[Motorola Atrix HD] FirestrmNH:
Press and hold all three buttons for 8 seconds, same as a battery pull. You'll need to root, then unlock the bootloader. Flash cwm or other recovery of your choice. Half tempted to go with the new touch recovery that was recently posted.

Pay special attention to the need to mount the proper storage areas before flashing from SD card. Not doing this might cause it to loop.

looking back... rooting and unlocking seems so easy- even though it took months for form a dev to be able to break into the security

There is also a tool that will put back the logo so you don't see "warning unlocked bootloader" message. If you follow along with the AHD Dev thread, alot of love was put in there. good information.
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
ahhh 8 secs!!! but it's so much more fun peeling the back off! EDIT: and I've got all those nifty tools! - crowbar, sledge hammer, pickaxe...

so:

EDIT: first let it update...

1 root

2 unlock

3 flash recovery (nope don't trust my fingers on the touch one yet)

Then at that point I could play with JB or flash something else.

Yes, I did see that thread on getting rid of the warning - I think it was link referenced in the beginners guide.

EDIT: found it and grabbed the BLACK one!!!

Also saw that note about mounting things (/system I think) but I didn't understand it - also rom slots. Well, I've got till Fri or Sat to learn that stuff.

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

Looked at HoloBlur and downloading it, both versions and apps.

Noticed in install it says format system. (I believe in squeeky clean) I believe you would have to mount system after that. Maybe that's where the confusion lies?

Followup: Only glitch was that i had to go to att store to get the IEMI of the HD put into my acct so I could get LTE. HOLO is FAST . I have good backups so I can bounce between HB and JB (useful for going to att store :laugh: ) Thanks for your input!

help please

my rsd lite doesent connect my phone ....dosent show on the list.....?????
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Make sure you're using a USB port on the back of your PC. Neither my Defy or Atrix HD like the front port on my PC for fastboot or tethering....strangely, as long as only 1 phone has adb enabled, adb will work on my front port...

You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling all Motorola, Android, adb, drivers, etc.

If none of that works you might have to manually wipe and flash with fastboot. There's a guide in AHD General that covers that.

Any suggestions?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Dr. Orange:
This post that is right above yours might help.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Neighbor808:
First off, the CFC zip is ICS i'm pretty sure, and its Bell Canada so make sure you have the bell model. If you are Bell Canada then this is the one you need to use : MB886_bell-user-4.1.2-9.8.2Q-8_MB886_FFW-11-4-release-keys-BellMobility-CA.xml.zip

Just get that from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/dinara/list.php

If RSD isn't recognizing your device, go into command prompt while your device is in fastboot and enter the command "fastboot devices"

if nothing pops up, your drivers must not be working properly. If RSD simply won't recognize your device but you can execute fastboot commands, then you'll have to flash it manually, instructions here:

I only have a laptop at the moment with side ports. Its on a USB 3.0 port. Could that be it?

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

Which one is JB ATT?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Neighbor808:
I'm not sure whether USB 3.0 would be a conflict or not. As for compatible firmwares for your device:

AT&T JB 4.1.1: http://sbfdownload.droid-developers..._FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA.xml.zip

Mexco Retail 4.1.2 (Works for AT&T): http://sbfdownload.droid-developers...MB886_NII_TA-2-16-release-keys-NII-MX.xml.zip

I've personally only used the Mexico Retail, but if you want 4.1.1 instead then that will work too.

You're lucky you weren't able to flash the zip you originally downloaded, you would've had a hard brick since you were trying to flash Bell Canada firmware :P

Don't forget to put in the modified xml file into either zip you decide to use!

Honestly though, if you want JB you should just unlock bootloader, flash clockworkmod and flash the HoloBlur PurePerformance ROM found in the development section. Best stock based Jellybean experience you can get.
[Motorola Atrix HD] cmdru1980:
That got me back to JB. Thanks. I haven't been able to get root back yet though. Your help is very much appreciated.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Neighbor808:
Happy I could help you :)

If you can't get root back through conventional means (Motochopper, MythTools, etc.) Then just install clockworkmod and flash the zip I have attached. (Credit to Youngunn)

[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Roms don't normally effect being Sim Unlocked, unless its a custom rom that has a sim soft unlock (we don't have any of those).....But Bell ICS or Bell/Mex Retail JB (ATT ones are locked down with entitlement checks).
[Motorola Atrix HD] srijithn:
Thanks., So I can load Mexico Retail SBF and then root and install CM10.1 or 10.2.,

Also as SBFs are just for failsafe operation.(when something goes wrong seriously) ...., As I am going to use a custom ROM for sure.

I have this doubt mainly because., If I do something and if Atrix gets sim locked. I am F**kd and bricked.,.,
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Yep. CWM Touch will root (stock) roms for you, so all ya gotta do is flash the sbf, flash CWM, boot CWM, exit it, and you'll be prompted to fix root and the install-recovery.sh; say yes to both.

Pretty much impossible to brick these things. The worst you'll have to do is the sticky bit fix and manually flashing the sbf via fastboot.

It was with JB 4.1.1 from ATT and rooted. I haven´t used the phone in a very long time and now I'm giving it to a relative, so I decided to get it back to stock, but I'm unable to do it through RSD.

[Motorola Atrix HD] Neighbor808:
"Security version downgraded" and "sticky bit factory_fastboot" look like you tried to flash with a locked bootloader. Unless you can unlock it while stuck in fastboot I think there's no way to fix it, I could be wrong though.

its because you're trying to flash gpt_main0.bin -- that's the only partitoin that's security locked for us, even with an unlocked bootloader. remove that line from the xml (as well as doing the sticky-bit fix).
