Can someone help me?

During the gingerblur install I entered Yes to delete bloatware and it removed some of the stuff I use. I didn't want to do that. So, I wanted to put my phone to complete stock and I flashed my phone following this thread. After the reflash, it still had my email accounts and some of the stuff from before on the phone. I thought this would put me back to complete stock. I really just want to put my phone back to how it was when I bought it. Can someone tell me how to do this? Thanks in advance!

I just reflashed my phone following the steps on this thread. After I installed

Correct you are, dragging the file into RSD worked like a charm. Phone is un-bricked, thanks a million!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Fausty:
My phone is sim-unlocked and wifi is working fine. Has anyone in that case tried to install the SBF ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] OPish:
So... I installed Adeo .2, and after doing so, the option for "use Tactile Feedback" disappeared and I was getting a ton of random reboots.

After that, I flashed the 1.5.2 SBF file and it didn't erase any of my settings (I did have to re-enter my blur account). My icons were arranged the same way as before and my keyboard was still set to swype etc... however, my apps were removed and the default apps were back on the phone. So then I decided to do a factory reset, but still all my settings remained and my "use Tactile Feedback" option was missing. I have since then, re-flashed a second time and Factory Restored my phone multiple times, and I'm still getting the same result.

This is odd behavior, no? In the phone info, it definitely shows that I'm on 1.5.2, and the Reboot and Recovery options have been removed from the power off menu, but it still feels like i'm not "stock" still.

Anyone have any insight? Help is much appreciated.

P.S. I'm thinking about getting the phone exchanged, is this too extreme?

MotoBlur "stores" you icon-settings and stuff in the cloud.

So whenever you login after the reset, it rearranges everything the way you left it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] madweazl:
I'm wanting to try a different ROM (no issues with this one, I just want to try another). Would it be a smart idea to do the sbf flash prior to doing that.

Also, I noticed the comment about not trying to recover if the install went wront during the GingerBlur install. Mine went just fine but I did do a recovery afterward to get some of the bloatware apps and google widget (not sure what the google search bar is called but I'm assuming it's a widget). That all worked fine but I wanted to make sure I didnt screw something else up in the process of the recovery that would prevent me from loading up another ROM (gonna try Adeo). I've only had the phone for about 36 hours now and there has been a steep learning curve having worked with iPhones for the last 4 years.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BravoMotorola:
Hmm, it's the exact same for me, and I'm guessing the same for everyone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] airbillion:
All the links for the sbf are dead. Are there any working links?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BicolXpress:
+1

There's only one link that works and its so slooooow. Someone please reup the sbf or pm me the link to the sbf file. Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Uploading new links. Moto keeps taking them down. :rolleyes:

Although... I am getting 4 MB/s download on the first HTTP link... pretty dang good speeds IMO.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jkurl:
Ken,

I tried to flash this several times and it will just not flash. I am on your beta 6 and want to return to stock and then flash 6.5 or wait till beta 7. I have tried the drag and drop w/ it in RSD and with the tip DG suggested and it just keeps saying failed.

I bet it has to do w/ me having a mac and the windows setup is a VM. it shouldn't matter as I have installed your rom and DG rom through the VM.

Got any solutions?

I going to install adeo and then install your rom again hoping that will work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
It most likely has to do with your VM not seeing the USB device for your phone... or drivers. Have you tried Boot Camp, installing drivers, then RSD Lite??

I'm not super familiar with Macs.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jkurl:
No I haven't used boot camp. I could set one up but I will just wait until monday when i get back to work. I have a stand alone windows machine i can use. i put adeo and the your 6.5 and it seems to be acting better.

I had the same problem once w/ a blackberry not working w/ the VM so i am not shocked.

Well we all learned something from this as it will not work atleast w/ a Parallels VM machine.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BicolXpress:
Does the phone have to be rooted before you can flash this sbf file? I've got a stock atrix.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] djkinetic:
No, u can flash this whether ur rooted or not deodexed or not, all it does is flash ur phone back to stock, hence the reason its so important if u someone brick the phone. assuming ur atrix is an att branded of course
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jim1tone:
I installed GingerBlur 6.0 and i just don't like how it is, i prefer the stock (motoblur) so if i Flash my device will it restore everything to how it was before i put GingerBlur 6.0 and will i be able to keep the apps that i have installed on it now
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
If you're still at stock then there is no reason to flash this.

Did you select to have a backup created? If so you can just push those files back to your phone.

Help!

someone please help me, i got into the Motorola Bootloop late last night when i tried installing the Adeo rom. i tried every possible way to get it out of it, but nothing works. Its the Bell version of the Atrix, so i cant flash the sbf onto it.

Any and all help would be strongly appreciated, i really need this
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ronj1986:
How big is the RSDLite 5.0 file. I am downloading the SBF right now thru tethering, so I know its looking like 5hrs. But I would like to know the file size of RSDLite, so that I know how long it should take once I'm ready to download that and find someone to PM it to me. If you have it please PM me what I would need to do to obtain it. I'm not ready to download it yet, I will be in 6 hrs though. I should have done this sooner, but I wasn't expecting to flash GingerBlur until this weekend:-(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wicked_beav:
So... could someone here who already downloaded the RSDlite 5.0 please do me a favor and share that with me please? Hit me up via PM please and thank you! For some reason I downloaded the SBF and was gonna download RSD later and it was too late. Thanks in advance guys!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] n30phyte:
So I have read through this thread and the original thread and am trying to flash my Atrix. I have followed all the instructions, loaded the drivers (x64 version on win7), phone shows Starting RSD protocol support, loaded RSD lite 5 and drag/drop the .sbf file to the window. It appears RSD lite reads the file fine, I plug my phone in via USB, get a windows ding like it recognizes the phone, but in RSD lite the phone never shows up and show device seems to do nothing. I have reinstalled the driver to no avail. Any suggestions?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ronj1986:
I have finished downloading the SBF. Can someone PM me regarding obtaining a download of RSDLite? I need to download it, but unable to find it online anymore.

UPDATE: Nevermind I have RSDLite now, thanks for the assistance

thank you SOOOOO much for this!!! I soft bricked my phone after doing a bad framework edit, and then proceeded to fully brick it by performing a factory reset. thank you thank you thank you
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rjohnstone:
Did you put your phone is RSD mode first?

Turn off phone.

Then hold power button and vol up button until RSD mode start.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
anyone know the official latest build for the ATT atrix is im on OLYFR U4_1.2.6 and wanna make sure that is the later ...also wanna know what 1.5.2 is
[Atrix 4G Android Development] n30phyte:
I did, I thought I mentioned that. I believe I followed all listed steps, but the RSD Lite never sees my phone.

What exactly does Titanium Backup save? just apps? or settings as well
[Atrix 4G Android Development] koshia:
Does not work

Hey Guys,

New to this thing, but I have an Atrix I'd like to get working right. I followed the steps, but my phone just reboots to the motorola screen and freezes. Nothing happens and RS gives an error.

The images attached are before the phone restart and after the phone restart.

Wondering if someone has a clue on what's going on.

I am on Win7 Ult. x64 - no virtualization.

As you can see, also renamed the file to shorter in case RS didn't load because the name was too long.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SS2006:
whats the diff between 1.5.6 and the 1.2

i dont wanna run into the wifi prob ( i have a ism unlocked device)

im just flashing this so i can go install gingerblur 7.1 fresh

can i go with 1.2 in that case?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vigneshd:
It doesn't really matter too much but if you're ATT might as well flash the retail SBF.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SS2006:
which is 1.2?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mccoy007:
I have the same results here, but it is on Bell version Atrix.

Not sure if this is a sign of Hard Brick Forever... But I can still wait for someone to release Bell SBF and try later...

I have to buy another one, now I believe I shouldn't touch anything regards to the flash cellphone Rom. I have no luck on my previous HD2 either.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] koshia:
I don't think mine is bell and I know its not an ATT one. Tried different computers and what not too, still no luck.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DannyV94:
has anyone done this without a fully charged battery yet? im at around 60-63 percent :/
[Atrix 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
tryin this now...i was at 80 % battery
[Atrix 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
worked !!!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SS2006:
which one is the retail sbf
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BicolXpress:
1.2.6 is the retail sbf
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Time?

It is taking a long time to do mine, I am on a very slow computer, but it has been over an hour.. is that normal on a slow PC. The "Executing..." is counting up though..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Cheshire Cat:
I can escape bootloops with mine doing this:

- Attach USB cable to charger.

- Detach USB cable from device.

- Remove the battery.

- Keep the power button pressed (do not release).

- Reinsert the battery.

- Attach USB cable.

- Phone should start booting.

- Release power button - only when boot is complete.

It is weird but it works for me. Hope this works for you as well.

RSDLite file loader is buggy.

Just continue renaming the file to change its length until it works (do not change the extension).

I really hope the flasher code has been written by someone else ... make me feel a little nervous while flashing :)

The last two links still aren't working?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mafisometal:
wow very impressive this 7.7, i have on my memory available at 650MB max when im running ATK. VERY impressive set up there.

One suggestion though, is having an OTA update for this gingerblur....it would be nice to do these updates with patches...just a suggestion.

Also it would be nice to use some Motoblur widgets, i do have a few that im quite fond of...like the social networking, rss reader, stuff like that.

Relocking

Hi,

Will this flash relock the phone? If I need to relock the phone, is that possible?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thekooliest:
I was accepted into beta testing, but a while back I had a problem uninstalling the Webtop w/any HDMI mod so the OTA didn't work. Currently flashing 1.2.6 to my phone, hope it works..wish me luck!

Thanks for this tut either way <3
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thekooliest:
It worked, thanks! Now successfully installing the beta software.

Your a life (phone) saver!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] dmappdev:
tried flashing 1.2 and RSD fails to flash everytime. Any thoughts?

My phone is still rooted but I've noticed that there is no rom installed on my phone. My "Reboot" in the option window is gone.

Failed Flash

[Atrix 4G Android Development] fliphop925:
Hey, so what I did was:

1) Move the .sbf file to the C: drive where RSD Lite is installed.

2) Kept renaming it until when I pressed start it worked. (my final rename was somebigassname) it worked...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sugarkryptonite:
So Bell users are SOL for modding their phones basically?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
well, it hasn't been long since the Bell variant came out, we'll see when moto comes out with an update, and we'll be able to flash back to stock after that i would thing.

Also - a fair bit can be done without actually flashing, as seen in ken's GingerBlur "rom" (not a rom by the true definition of the word), as well as a few of the hacks in this forum that only require rooting, which is possible on the Bell atrix. We'll see if any canadian's end up developing, or if any american dev's decide to show their friends some love ;)

Give it a bit of time
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sugarkryptonite:
Right. But if they release 2.3 on the Atrix how are you going to revert back to stock from GingerBlur?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
well, i'm sure when a Bell-friendly rom gets released the developer would be nice enough to provide us with a list of the files/directories that are changed, and since the Bell device is rooted it is possible to backup the originals of all those files.

Since it's not a true flash with the current "ROMs" available, you can just replace the modified files with a backup of the originals - then reboot, and after rebooting if you hard reset then you should be back to out-of-the-box status. from there you can upgrade to the official 2.3 if you so wish.

As far as i understand what i said there is true, if someone knows it to be otherwise feel free to speak up.

What is the difference between the two sbf files? I did the first one with the password and finished my update...everything seems to be fine...I hope I chose the right one...

[Atrix 4G Android Development] SS2006:
ya what is better in 1.5.6...

i think eveyrone here is at and t so saying flash 1.2.6 because of retail..means that 1.5.6 shudnt be there..

confused
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ZoinksS2k:
Not sure if this has come up before, but make sure you have RSD Lite 5.0 installed. I have a Xoom and used RSD Lite 4.9 for flashing, but the Atrix no-likey

Obviously, I should have read the instructions, but anyhoo

On my Win7x64 machine, i had to:

1. Uninstall previous RSD Lite version

2. Uninstall driver package (optional, but I did a clean install)

3. Reboot

4. Disable Norton Internet Security (It didn't like the MSI file)

5. Download RSD Lite 5.0, install

6. Download the driver package, install

7. Flash your SBF

What does flashing SBF do for my atrix...sorry for the newb question ....what's the benefit?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bwshockley:
Tip for Using Windows VM on a Mac.

If you are trying to flash the sbf using a VM of Windows on a Mac, you must move your sbf to the C: drive. I had mine in "My Documents" and it would not work, failed twice. I then moved it to the C:\ directory and reran it and it worked great. I also copied the RDSLite folder to the C:\ directory just to keep everything centrally located. I'm not sure if you have to do that or not, but either way, I did both things.

I used a 2007 15" Macbook Pro, with a copy of Windows XP running via Parallels desktop.

Flash SBF to Motorola Atrix 4GArrow

hi

I think instructions should be updated. mine failed 3 times until I moved .sbf file on the root of C: drive on my windows 7 laptop.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] frewys:
Quick question...

I do apologize in advance if this is a stupid question or the answer is somewhere (couldn't find it)

I got it a couple of days after release. Removed some bloatware with titaniumbackup. Will this restore these apps?

Or if someone has made a backup of all the apps so i just can restore them?

This seemed like the place to ask. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nory82688:
is this .sbf going to be OK to flash if I just want to go back to stock from gingerblur? There is nothing wrong with my atrix, I just want to be able to OTA updates and as far as I know if you are running 3rd party roms and rooted it won't work correctly.I would like to go back to stock and unroot.but after reading this I'm a little worried about messing up my phone or not having it completely back to stock. Anyone???:confused:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] relaxed:
There seems to be a lot of problems with RSDLite 5/Windows for some people so here is a somewhat easy solution for all of you.

A Linux method for Windows users:

1) Copy the sbf you want to flash to a usb thumb drive.

2) Download and copy http://dl.opticaldelusion.org/sbf_flash to the same thumb drive. Keep the thumb drive plugged in.

3) Download an Ubuntu livecd, burn it to a cd and boot your computer from it.

4) After it boots up, click on the Ubuntu Logo -> Places and click on your usb thumb drive. That will mount the thumb drive.

5) Click Ubuntu Logo -> Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal. Once the terminal is open run the following commands. In these commands, the "$" represents the shell prompt.

$ cd /media

$ ls

Your thumb drive is mounted under /media, so whatever is listed here is the directory of your thumb drive. Sometimes they have random names.

$ cd YOURTHUMBDRIVE

$ ls

Now you should see your sbf file and sbf_flash

$ chmod +x sbf_flash

$ sudo ./sbf_flash OLYFR_U4_1.5.2_SIGNED.sbf

This starts the flashing process. In the terminal you'll see it listing the CGs from the sbf file and will end with "waiting for phone." Now connect your phone to the computer, reboot the phone and hold the volume up button until you see something about RSD mode on the phone. The screen will only mention RSD Mode for a second, then in the terminal you'll see sbf_flash doing it's thing. It takes around 10 minutes, so go watch TV and wait until your phone has rebooted and you're at the motoblur sign-in.

This solution is nice because you don't have to install anything on your computer. All you need is a thumb drive and a livecd and you can flash a sbf using any computer, which is handy! Don't worry, I was the guinea pig for the author of sbf_flash so we could have Atrix support. It works and it's much faster than RSDLite 5. You can find me in #moto-atrix on the freenode irc server if you need additional help.

"This application comes from an unknown source..."

I flashed back to 1.2.6 and now whenever I try to install an APK I get the message "This application comes from an unknown source, and for your security only applications from trusted sources can be installed."

It NEVER did this before. I got the phone, rooted it, and it was great...then I stupidly installed the OTA update yesterday, lost root access, and reflashed to 1.2.6 to preserve root access before updating.

I reflashed, rooted, then got this message when I tried to install.

Anyone know what's up?

Help! Unable to Flash. Unable to factory reset.

Help! (ima n00b... first Android (Atrix ATT unlocked for use in Australia))

PHONE STATUS SCREEN IS BLANK. CAN'T RESET. MARKET DOWLOADS FAIL. I'M STUCK.

Things were going fine. (Having tried to SBF but failed) I installed GingerBlur beta 7 (kept junk apps to retain working Calendar) and all was fine... until I tried a bit too hard to update to the new firmware OTA (dunno why that didn't work... see below).

I couldn't update to the new 4.1.57 firmware (something about a apply_sign_check failed on AccountAndSyncSettings.apk) so I tried RSDLite but all I get is a Flash Failure (when phone is at RSD Startup screen).

So I backed up the phone using Titanium Backup. Then I uninstalled GingerBlur (Beta 7) and tried to do the 4.1.57 update OTA again and it failed same as before. So I boot again and figure maybe a Factory Reset would do it. It seemed to work ok.

At this stage the phone is Un-GingerBlur'd and Factory Reset. I boot and try to download Titanium from the Market. WiFi seems ok (can browse), but download of any app fails.

Now my awesome new Atrix is nearing soft-brick and I have no way to get it back to its original state. RSDLite fails. And no way to get Ti Backup onto it to try a restore.

Any ideas?

a) Fix RSD Lite troubles and flash a good ROM/Firmware

b) Fix market download failure and get Titanium Backup to do a restore [no firmware fix]

c) Side-load or somehow get Ti Backup installed and do restore

Sorry if terminology is wrong. I've only had the phone a few days and have kinda got lost in the deep end.

RSD Lite correctly shows handset (when connected while handset is in Android) as MB860 in model column of grid/list and "Software Version: OLYFR_U4_1.2.6" in Device Properties window. IMEI etc are "N / A". When I reboot while holding vol-up it goes into "Starting RSD protocol support" which stays at top of screen. If I then reconnect USB, RSD Lite changes to Model: "NS Flash Olympus" "Conntected...", bootloader: "v0x000007" and everything else "N/A". Then when I try to flash OLYFUR_1.5.2.SIGNED.sbf I just get "Failed flashing process. (0x7100); phone connected". I have updated USB drivers. I'm on Win 7 64bit.

running out of ideas... eeek... help.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] axon-g:
FIXED :)

Found the problem. The log file in the RSD LIte folder showed that it was having trouble with the path to the SBF file. I moved it into C:\Temp and gave it a short name. Now it seems to be flashing ok. Phew! :o
