Yeah, you might be using the newer version of CWM... gingerblur doesn't like that one. Uninstall the system recovery app with the app manager and then re-install this version and try the gingerblur .zip file again. Don't forget to hit the install button first when you apply the "new old" CWM. Hope it works for you.

**Edit**

You updated to 1.57 w/ the retain root too, right?

I downloaded the sbf and 7 zip. When I tried to unzip the file it asked for a password so I used atrixbl like it said to. it gives me two errors. One is a long file path the other says wrong password

Obviously something isn't right so can someone help me?

any suggestions?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
You need to shorten the name of the .sbf file. It doesn't matter what you name it, just so long as there are no spaces in the name, and that you don't change the .sbf file extension. I think I named mine something like OLYFR.

Also, make sure that the file path to where ever you have the .sbf file at also does not have any spaces in it... easiest just to put it in the root c:\

Start RSD Lite over again and retry... This is a RSD Lite problem (POS program)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] yimzz:
Problem solved!!!

I just changed the name to 123 and it works

THANKS!!!:D

You don't want to restore system apps. This has been known to cause issues on many, many devices, Atrix included. You can restore system settings, but make sure you go through and uncheck everything that isn't a setting in TiBu.

I'm not sure about Gingerblur, but on GladiAtrix if you do a factory reset, you'll only need to run the afterupdate.bat from my GladRoot (Root v3 essentially) to get root back. I imagine this is true of a stock phone not running any mods as well.

That has to do with Titanium Backup. Don't do a restore of system apps and data and you'll be fine.

1.5.2 was a leaked internal beta (likely related to the 1.5.7 OTA update) that came from Russia.

RSD is not a commercial application. It's technically illegal for you to even have in on your computer, as it's supposed to be for internal Motorola use only. Getting upset over how it works doesn't help anything. You should be happy you even have the program to use in the first place :)

Atrix root

I got my phone from my cousin who had already updated it to 4.1.57 and I want to get it rooted. The only solution is to flash back to 1.26 and go from there. I see the issues with wifi and am concerned about possible issues I may have. I see the warning about only flashing if desperate. Realistically is it a safe decision to flash anyways then preform the root up to 1.57?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] brandongriff:
hey guys here is a mirror i found to the 1.5.2 SB....the ones from the OP are either dead or painfully slow...enjoy

lost tethering when 4.1.57

Hi there

im having some weird problems with tethering

Im from Costa rica server provider is called ICE

i have an unlocked Atrix thats been rooted and non rooted

with that said this is my situation, im hoping someone could help me

I just flash 4.1.2.6 for like the third time, its fresh and nothing installed..

tethering WORKS!! but.... if i follow the steps (and i mean really follow the steps one by one) to retain root and update to 4.1.5.7 i loose the ability to tether

I've tried, after the ota update to do the every guide to do tethering manually and every APN set up possible but nothing seems to work. tethering works either rooted or non rooted with 4.1.2.6 but not with 4.1.5.7 :mad:

Everything else works perfectly, sideloading, webtop, etc

thanks in advance
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lorijuan1024:
i get this error immediately after i press start error (0x7100) i googled it and there are alot of probs i tried moving sbf to root of c drive, my documents, i even have the 64 bit drivers installed.

has anyone with 64 bit win 7 done this successfully?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bwacrey:
I accidentally upgraded my Atrix to 4.157 too. I flashed with RSD lite and 4.126 sbf file and then rooted using the Before update file, and then after update which worked fine. Just follow the steps and you'll have 4.157 rooted. I havent noticed any wifi problems. As of right now, the only way to retain root for 4.157 is to flash back to 4.126 and follow the root steps. From 4.157 rooted, you can install CWM recovery and load Gingerblur to get rid of all the motorola crap that comes stock.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
You might heaved Googled, but did you happen to read 3 posts up??? Try renaming as mentioned and quoted herein and see if that works for you.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lorijuan1024:
i have been done this it just does not start they think its a x64 problem i will try x32
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Weird... I've flashed multiple times and I'm running on x64
[Atrix 4G Android Development] AndroidLonghorn:
Following the guide in the first post worked for me fine on Windows 7 64 bit.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lorijuan1024:
worked on the 32 bit win7
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Must be a computer specific problem.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jastnorn:
New here but I have flashed phones before, but with this I keep getting the "Failed to boot 4" error and I have tried 4 downloads of the zip. Each zip gives an error in 7zip that the password is wrong and fails sometimes in WinRar. Tried putting it in C:\ and that fails. Tried shortening the name and that failed. I'm stuck. Anyone ever get this resolved without just luck getting it installed?

I'd really like to get the phone rooted among other things but just keeps giving the error.

Oh, and everything goes just fine in RSD according to RSD.

So I got it fixed. Must be bad usb plugs or something. Desktop failed where the netbook won.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ajlimajr:
Hi everyone,

I'm here to answer some questions and maybe help someone with the same issues.

I'm from Brazil, i got my Atrix last month in US and unlocked with a code that bought from cellunlocker.net, anyway... and all i need to say is that works!!! Tks a lot Kenetth!!!

So, do not be afraid... just follow the guide, it took 18-20 minutes in my case, and i have no wi-fi problem before/after that (thank God), my phone is still unlocked, in fact it's all perfect.

Good Luck,

Antonio.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] x00m3r4ng:
I ran into simlar problems using x64. What finally resolved my issues, after numerous attempts and renaming the file to a shortened name, was extracting the SBF file directly to the directory/folder you will be calling it from.

I extracted mine directly to C:\ and it worked like a charm. :) No renaming of the file was needed in my case. I think moving it from the download directory to C:\ somehow corrupted the file.

Additionally, I also dragged the SBF file into RSD Lite instead of using the '...' button.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Andresrsx:
Hi sorry to double post

has anyone come accros this?

i've tried this with 2 unlocked Atrix in my country and both get the same error with tethering with 4.1.5.7

Thank you for helping me restoring my device to stock rom so i can return it and get an iPhone :P I suck with android real bad and good luck guys and thanks to everybody was pointing me at the right direction
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gerbick:
I'm using VMWare Fusion on my Mac with a Windows XP (32-bit) image and the drivers are installed, I've renamed the *.sbf, I've ran the flash three times and it fails each time.

It just gets to the Motorola Dual Core screen, stays there for hours. I have a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit machine at my disposal as well, and it does the same thing.

Both have all of the drivers installed, it's recognized, yet my previously aRoot 1.26 that got updated to 1.57 (I didn't read enough, said yes to the update) and now I can't flash back to 1.26.

Seems to fail after re-enumeration. On my third time, I got to that point, unplugged/replugged and got to the Flashing Groups - which was new, but it seems to still have failed.

Any help?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
So it sits at the "Enabling RSD Protocol" screen on your Atrix? Do you get an error in RSD Lite when you hit start? Does it actually start to flash the sbf file?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gerbick:
I get the following error:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Do you have your phone in RSD Protocol mode when you connect it to the computer? I don't see anything on the device side of the image you posted.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gerbick:
Yes. The phone is in RSD mode when I connect it to the computer. I moved the error panel out so you could see the entire message.

It connects, the RSD Lite in that mode, it populates that an USB device is connected - in #1 position - goes through the process just fine.

That's where it's failing. Odd thing, I just grabbed one of the 1.52 *.sbf's and despite it saying error, upon reboot, it was 1.52.

I just cannot go back to 1.26 with the aforementioned links in this thread.

All checksum's work out - they're not garbled and I matched those earlier with another user.

Edit: Nevermind. Despite the error, I went ahead allowed it to reboot, replaced my SIM, replaced my microSD, connected to Wi-Fi and it was 1.2.6 - somehow.

The error stayed the same, but since I got an error, I'd go back into RSD mode, restart this process. Thank you for your help/questions.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nufo:
I've read most of the thread and downloaded the "Atrix.7z" file but when I try to extract it to my C: using WinRAR it gives me the following errors:

C:\Users\Nufo\Downloads\Atrix.7z: Cannot open OLYFR_U4_1.2.6_SIGNED_OLPSATTSPE_P012_HWolympus_1g_1FF.sbf

C:\Users\Nufo\Downloads\Atrix.7z: Error - operation failed

Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks in advance!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] x00m3r4ng:
Try using 7zip for extraction. I think it is inherent to the .7z file extension.

Edit: Sorry, I did not realize that Winrar support unpacking of .7z files. My bad. I've had no problem unpacking the SBF file with 7Zip.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dung.le:
Hi

I've got the error when the RSDLite said: "Waiting for re-enumeration". Wait for a while and the phone is not turn-on, then RSDLite said: "Failed"

Finally succeed :). I tried again and it's work now. Thanks guys

Hi

Will this flash lock my phone if its AT&T unlocked 4.1.57?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joe ferreira:
rename the file to .rar or .gz and try it again.

if it still doesn't work your file is corrupt.

* I have seen alot of people trying to download the spf files over really slow connections taking hours. To these people go to a library or something and download the file at a reasonable speed on a reliable connection.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gerbick:
Does the SBF flashing affect your APN's at all? Besides the one tether addition, what about the rest?

If I remove the APN's, reflash, do they come back?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Paschalis:
same question here.

only one guy from brazil reported that his unlocked phone stilled worked threw this.

i only want to install non market apps(from sd card). so i need root.. so i need to flash back, and then root-update the phone :/

is it safe to root? any other way to install non market apps?

e.g in sony Ericsson you dont need extra privileges for that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gerbick:
I've flashed back to 1.26, rooted then updated to 1.57 twice without incident. The only thing though is that you might get an error on the initial flash via the RSD Lite app. Manual reboot, then root, answer yes to the "will you update to 1.57" question and then update.

To be honest, I was from root to fully set up in about 20 minutes. I had already exported my contacts to *.vcf, set up an AppBrain account so I could at least see what I had installed before and redid the phone in a very quick fashion.

RSD Lite not working

I have updated my atrix with the most recent update from motorola. However after adjusting my phone back from the webtop via hdmi fix, i still have super user installed and the phone seems to be running slow. I have tried to run through this tutorial with RSD Lite v5.0 and 1.2.6.sbf and am having no luck. I take out battery, take out sim and sd card. i put battery back in. I turn on phone while holding volume up button, and get the Starting RSD protocol support on screen. i hit the start button and almost immediately i am getting failed on the screen. Any suggestions on what could be wrong? i want to start out with a clean slate. No mods, no super user, no root, just the original install and to do the motorola update.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Paschalis:
i just flashed back to 1.2.6 with:

Unlocked SIM Atrix ATT

and

Windows 7 x64 Professional

My wifi before the back flashing was OK!

My wifi AFTER the flashing IS OKAY!! :D:D:D

Just followed step by step.

For win7 all drivers are automatically downloaded!

It took about 11 mins(in hell!!!!!!!!)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] drock212:
Hey don't know if you were finally able to flash but its not the file name. When you were flashing did it start to download the drivers when the phone rebooted? If so and if it finished downloading and installing the drivers just pull battery reboot ib rsd and attempt flash again it won't fail the second time. My file name was the same as yours and mine did the same thing when I tried the second time around it worked fine
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ky3bmu4:
Hello guys! Can anyone pls tell me what are the chances to get wifi issue after flashin back? Atrix unlocked 1.57 (With superuser, but somehow w/o root)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
Go back to original SBF, root with Gladroot and say y to upgrade after, upgrade by checking for Updates and then run the 2nd file to run after the update. You'll have root on 1.57. You might have forgotten to actually let Superuser approve. I manually did adb shell and su to get the prompt. I never get the prompt otherwise.

Which file to use 1.2.6 or 1.5.2

Hello,

Please ignore my dumbness, you have posted two files "OLYFR_U4_1.5.2_SIGNED_OLPSATTSPE_P012_HWolympus_1g_1FF.sbf" and "OLYFR_U4_1.2.6_SIGNED_OLPSATTSPE_P012_HWolympus_1g_1FF.sbf". I being a dumb person dont know which file should be used. My atrix is on att and is locked.

flash back

hello,I was wondering if it's possible to flash back to 1.2.6 from 1.52?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] owenrg:
So i'm fallowing this to a T to flash back to 1.2.6 and i get my phone is RDS support mode and have RDS light running and my PC sees my phone and i have the .sbf file in RDS light but the start button is grayed out... can't click it. i tried putting my phone in USB debug mode and USB type to none... also tried running RDS lite as admin.

any ideas?

UPDATE: if i click and drag the .sbf file into RDS lite the start button lights up however i click start and the status goes to "failed flashing process. failed flashing process. (0X7100); phone connected" (yes it says failed flashing process twice)

so now what?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
Did you shorten the file name? And is the MD5 checksum correct?

May want to redownload the file just to be on the safe side. You can flash back to the retail version and it shouldn't be too difficult. May just be a few small hurdles.

3g/4g data enabled - dialer app freeze

purchased directly from at&t. now unlocked and used with orange (uk network).

making calls while on 3g/4g with data enabled, dialer application freezes and phone reboots (or i must force hard reset) about 80% of the time.

no issues when:

a) on 3g/4g with data disabled, or

b) on GSM only with data enabled

Thanks for the write up! All worked beautifully for me flashing down from 4.1.57 ( I want to get root back :rolleyes:). I extracted the SBF to the root of C and pointed RSD lite to that location.

Here's another user with wifi problems. :( is there a fix? I downgraded from 1.57 to 1.26 to root, then back up with updating/Gingerblur, and now my Wifi refuses to connect. :( I really, desperately need wifi! :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Man_of_Leisure:
Noob here. I have 1.5.7 with out root, and want to flash back to 1.2.6 for root and other goodies. Since I don't have root, my understanding is that I can't back up my data.

If I flash back to 1.2.6 will all my pay apps, contact, and other data still be present? Earlier in the thread someone indicated that flashing the SBF doesn't write to personal data areas, but then someone also reported that their apps were gone after the flash.

Thanks in advance.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
If you flash back to any sbf, it will be like you just bought your phone from the store. Use titanium backup to backup your apps. You can also export your contacts list for a easy import later; go to Contacts -> Options -> More -> Import/Export. After you flash and you re-install titanium backup form the market, make sure you only restore yours apps, and not system data, but like you said I don't think you can backup your system data anyway since you're not rooted ( I can't remember).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Man_of_Leisure:
I looked into Titanium backup earlier, and it requires root unless I'm missing something. So I'm SOL about keeping my apps?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Really, you can't just install the regular version of titanium backup? I guess I never tried, I always installed the root version of titanium backup.

Regardless, once you log back into the market after flashing a sbf, it will still know which apps you have purchased, and can download again for free.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Man_of_Leisure:
I'll take your word for it, thanks ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fearfraqment:
mine said internal error while programing phone does anyone have this issues too ? i just updated to 1.57
[Atrix 4G Android Development] yhe2x:
I was on 1.26 with root...wanted to update to 1.57 so here's what I did:

1. wiped all data/cache through recovery mode

2. flashed sbf 1.26 in RSD MODE through RSD LITE 5...everything went fine and status was finish/pass

3. did a factory reset to make sure that everything has been wiped out

4. rooted using GLADROOT (latest version), enabled tethering and sideloading and answered yes it asked me if I was updating to 1.57

5. updated to 1.57 via OTA with no errors or anything

6. did the second part of the GLADROOT (afterupdate.bat)

And now my atrix became more unresposive, was acting weird and was acting on its own, having problems with turning wifi on (sometimes cant even get into the wifi settings)....I f*ckin hate it!

Did this like 4 times but the same **** keeps happening...oh and of course I had the usb in debugging mode during GLADROOT process....anybody in the same boat as me

why i am not able to open the archive 1.2.6 with ubuntu and support at 7z?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] djmisi:
Mine says NS Flash Olympus,in RSD Lite v5.0 Multi-Flash and I load the 1.2.6 sbf file, but the "Start" button is not highlighted, and under Device Properties it says:

IMEI/ESN/MEID: N / A

Technology: N / A

Software Version: N/a

Flex Version: N/a

Bootloader Version: v0x000007

DRM Version: N / A

... so it's kinda like it doesn't see my device, but it kinda does, because before I would connect the USB to the omputer, under the "Model" Column (where it says NS Flash Olympus), it does display NS Flash Olympus and under the Status, it says : Connected....

So, what should I do, so that I could revert back to the 1.2.6?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] djmisi:
