Ummmmm so I plugged my phone into the computer, pulled off some videos I took tonight, and then I was playing with pocket cloud and rdp and vnc was working fine. I messed with some ports and vnc stopped working, so I rebooted.

Now somehow EVERYTHING that was on my sd card is now erased....

Help? Please?

Make sure you are rooted and have sideloading enabled and then go to http://szym.net/barnacle/, download the apk, stick it on your SD (or internal storage) and install from the file manager on your phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
Is safer.

Wi-Fi Tether is another good app for this.

Tried to flash, but my phone now won't boot, it gets stuck at the M logo. In the top it outputs a dos-like error message "Failed to boot. Starting RSD Mode. Phone battery is too low to flash."

So I'm trying to charge my battery and reflash. If I unplug the phone from the wall charger, it shuts off and can't boot at all, and if I plug it into the wall charger, it automatically tries to boot and gets stuck at the M logo, and having left it like that overnight the battery did not charge.

How can I charge my battery so I can reflash?

I am planning to update to this but is there a good way to revert back to the OEM ROM?

Sorry im new at this and my first android phone after IOS.

yay love it.

just one thing i noticed is the entertainment center refuses to play my videos. i know the videos work, they've worked before. and they work in the regular video player. but when i plug into hdmi and load up entertainment center i get only sound, no video. the entertainment center works great. i can navigate, view pics, listen to music. but all video plays with no sound. tried this with 3gp and mp4 both didnt work.

I had attempted to install GingerBlur1.2 previously from a fresh SBF but had a wierd issue which MotoBlur was asking me to log back in when the phone rebooted. I would enter my correct information and was told that it was wrong. I tried rebooting many times and also multiple SBF fresh starts but kept hitting this wall till i gave up and just maintained a 1.57 rooted.

Today I attempted to start install the new 1.3 release and now I am on the same screen which is forcing me to enter my information which it does not accept.

Anyone have any ideas?

i have to flash sbf to try and fix the prob with the entertainment center having no video. i know i can backup everything with titanium backup, but last time i restored with that i still had to redo all my home screens.

1. is there a way to save that?

2. if i restore everything to how it was, does this counteract the whole point of flashing, since one of teh items im backing up is faulty?

Back on page 365 Swiftks posted a file and step by step guide that worked perfectly for me and several others. Give that a try. Follow every step exactly, including reboots.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] unity311mu:
Mine hasn't had the best either, but keep in mind there are more apps you can freeze if you don't use them to improve it. Find "safely freeze bloatware" in the dev forum for lists of apk's you can safely freeze with TiBU.

Hate to keep posting my problem, but I'd like to get it sorted out...

RSDlite is not making the start button clickable (grayed out). I've tried:

-rebooting phone

-reinstalling rsdlite

-different USB ports

-re-read instructions to make sure nothing was missed

-no spaces in sbf name & located on c:/

-USB debugging (been enabled the whole time)

-re-extracted sbf file

I'm pretty much out of ideas... The phone does show up in rsdlite and shows as connected. Should there be any information in the "file properties" box once the sbf is selected?

I'm following the steps outlined in the OP's link... is there anything that was missing that I should be aware of? I'm assuming those steps are correct.

Thanks in advance!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] funguygordy:
Wow long thread!

I just put gingerblur on, and everything has worked except for the fingerprint scanner (I remember reading something about that...have to find it again), and I cannot scroll inside any browser. Not very well at least. Any idea why?

Just go to security and erase your old finger print and redo.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
For those of you who are wondering about mobile hotspot (wifi tethering), and why you no longer see the hotspot icon in the notification bar once you think you've enabled it, here is the solution:

Here is how to implement it:

Note: to use the root explorer text editor on the file, you will need to change to r/w at the top of root explorer. Also, you need to reboot after you have changed the file.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
I know that this will probably make zero difference but what the hell.... open rsd lite and instead of locating the file with the ..., try just dragging the sbf file onto the empty file path box. But I'm sure you've already trued that too... I'll keep thinking.

After you have the sbf selected, and you then plug in the phone in RSD protocol mode and it's recognized, make sure to select it too (just click/highlight the device)... you never know, sometimes it's the simple things that you don't think about.... still pondering...

You have your sim card and micro sd card out too correct?

uuummm, maybe it doesn't like being labeled just numbers (saw that you had tried naming it to 123.sbf), I have my sbf file named "OLYFR.sbf"?????
[Atrix 4G Android Development] funguygordy:
Still no fingerprint on lockscreen. I guess I will have to go through the steps again...Has anyone else had the browser scrolling issue?

Not blaming GB (but not sure what it is), after upgrading from v1.1 to 1.3, my battery has gotten ALOT worse. I can't even go a half day before I need to recharge my phone. With GB 1.1, I could go about 16 hours and now it's 10 hours with minimal usage :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
I dunno, I just download the .zip or 7z or whatever it's compressed as, then unzip with winrar, rename to something shorter, drag to rsd lite, and flash away.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] VM0824:
take the .zip or .7z and change the extension to .gz.

it'll still open with winrar if you dont change it (cuz ive tried). but renaming before extracting might make a difference
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Just don't re-install your system settings w/ Titanium Backup, only your apps (or apps + data).

And No, you're going to have to configure your home screen & widgets again no matter what.

**Out to dinner, be back later to help. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] funguygordy:
Well after having issues with gingerblur I decided to flash back to 1.2.6 sbf and restart. I have followed the directions, and tried loading the sbf from c: but I get a fail in rsd no matter what. My phone is stuck showing the moto dual core image, any ideas?

edit:

Well somehow after pulling the battery the browser problem disappeared. Now if I could only get the fingerprint to work...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] VM0824:
well id like to keep more than just the apps ive added. like contacts and messaging. is there a way to discriminate how to choose between system apps that i shouldnt backup and ones that contain my preferences/contacts/message history
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jahizen:
i think i love u.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] unity311mu:
Backup contacts in the actual contacts app, by hitting Menu>settings>import/export, and you can probably figure it out from there :)

***Edit: Obviously, you can just use google contacts and they will sync automagically as well as soon as you set up your google account, but if you like hard copies on the phone as well like I do, follow the above steps as well***

I believe there are sms backup apps on the market, but I've gotten so used to losing them when I reflash that I haven't really researched any. Hit up the marketplace and do some searches, I'm sure you'll find plenty.

Video problem with DEODEX roms

Had the same problem with Adeo and now with this rom - video no longer works in Entertainment Mode. You can see a little strip of video along the bottom of the phone screen, but nothing on the monitor connected to HDMI.

Everything works fine before the install, but as soon as I apply this ROM, the video stops playing over HDMI. And this is without the Webtop or any other hacks.

Sure is a bummer as I love the look of this theme, but need to be able to play 720p video out to my TV...

[Atrix 4G Android Development] unity311mu:
AT&T sbf DEFINITELY will not work, so do not attempt this. Also, kennethpenn specifically says in red bold letters to not attempt this on a Bell Atrix in the OP and on the GB website...I'm not sure if there is an sbf yet for the Bell Atrix but I hope there is for your sake. I will look around a bit and edit this if I find anything for you. In the meantime, read everything carefully on this forum before attempting anything.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Very odd. Seems like a problem caused by deodexing. How about trying to throw the original .odex and .apk files for those parts into /system/app?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] samthesquid:
can someone please explain to me what the hulu/webtop/hdmi hacks do and how to use them and install them
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Ken, I have the same problem too, more or less. I have the webtop mod, which works great, except for when I go to the HD viewing section. When I select a video that I took with my Atrix, all I can see is a little sliver of video at the bottom of the control screen on my atrix; nothing on the tv.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
You know, you would think that I would get tired of answering the same question over, and over, and over.....

But I guess not. So, the hulu mod allows you to watch hulu flash videos on the hulu web site with the Dolphin HD browser. The webtop mod allows you to use webtop with an HDMI device (like a tv) without the HD Dock. The hdmi mirroring mod is kind of like the webtop mod, but not as cool :D

Do not install the webtop and HDMI mods together, pick one or the other.

See my post on pg. 365 if you have any problem playing hulu videos after you install that mod. First make sure that dolphin HD browser is set to desktop mode.

Also, you install these the same way you installed gingerblur, with CWM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] WingMan2010:
Ok...soo my dumb a** tried on the bell version...and im stuck...gingerblur won't work it keeps reseting...and i don't have the sbf...

can't recover my back-up....

anything right now would help....thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Maybe see if there is anything that you can do with this????

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1013093

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think you have a real problem... that's why there are no roms/themes for bell yet, b/c if something goes wrong, there's no sbf to flash back to... Hope you can figure it out.

**Edit**

I didn't say this, this is just something I overheard :D ..... Do you have insurance on your phone? If you bought it within the last 30 days, you can probably call up and still get it.... and then maybe say it just happens to accidentally fall in the toilet... I know that would totally suck if such a thing accidentally happened. But then you would only have to pay $125 to get a new one vs. full price. At least that's the $number$ for AT&T version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CC Lemon:
Well, that seems to have fixed the start button. I'm getting automatic flash failed messages when I click it now.

As soon as I click start it says: "Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. (0x7100)" under status.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
I'm telling you, that has to be a name, or space in the name, issue... I know, I know, you tried all that already. Try downloading the sbf again to your desktop, unzip to your desktop, rename again, drag to RSD Lite again, etc. etc.

*idea... I think some people were having a problem using windows 7 x64 bit... they tried with x32 bit and that worked for them... I have no idea how you try with x32 bit, since I've never had a problem with x64 bit.... maybe someone else can provide some info. here.

OOOOOO!.... just remembered something else, try opening RSD Lite as administrator (Press and hold Ctrl+Shift while opening the program).

sorry im so dumb lol. what is dolphin hd browser and how do i get it? and does the webtop mod work on a regular laptop or only the atrix built one?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Please use the search function for your first question.

Your second question doesn't make any sense. What do you mean "work on a regular laptop"? That's not what webtop is.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Dolphin HD Browser is a "Browser" which you can download form the market (if you ask me what the market is, I will not answer on principle :p ).

You use the webtop app in conjunction with the HDMI cable and a tv/lcd screen; not a computer... it has to be plugged into a HDMI input, the one on your laptop (if you have one) is almost certainly a output.

i just did a clean exact by the directions 1.26 flash, logged into motoblur, then gladrootv4, 1.57ota, afterroot, cwn, TB (just install, didnt do any restoring yet), then cwn-ed gingerblur1.3.

entertainment center worked just before i installed gingerblur, but doesnt immediately after. i have NOT installed any mods yet or anything. as fresh and clean as possible installation with gblur and Ecenter still will not play video.

can someone who has 1.57 upload their entertainment center apk and odex files, i wanna try that and see if it works. can i just push these through adb and it'll replace the current apk? or do i have to delete the current apk first?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] samthesquid:
thanks alot for answer all of my questions. just one more. for the webtop all i do is connect the hdmi to my tv and phone and go to the webtop application on my phone and it should just automatically go on my tv? or is there other steps i have to take? sorry about all the questions. its just that ive never used it before

[Atrix 4G Android Development] CC Lemon:
Thanks... not sure what was wrong before, but I downloaded and extracted the file again and it worked.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] VM0824:
when u connect the cable, a box should auto pop up. choose webtop
[Atrix 4G Android Development] unity311mu:
See if adb works in USB enumeration mode. You will have to read up in the dev forum on how to use commands like 'adb push'. If you can even get it past the boot screen, you will be in a lot better shape than you are now, and will probably be able to use the script for the deodexed bell files elsewhere on these forums. Otherwise, what Swiftks suggested about the insurance may be your best bet until an SBF is released for Bell. Not that I condone that type of thing ;) Best of luck.

***Edit: Something to get you started. First off, you have to download and install the Java development kit, Android development kit, then you phone's drivers (google search that). After you have done that, there is a link to a guide that shows you the basics in this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=502010 . Again, good luck!

No video

I'm still having a problem with this. I previously had webtop and HDMI mirroring both installed and figured that this was the reason my videos weren't playing. I didn't know how to just uninstall HDMI so I flashed back to stock and went through the whole process of installing Gingerblur but this time only installing the webtop mod. And still no video!! Only the sound plays. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

And I was wondering if I'm still able to install this? It's my GF's phone, the last one died of a hardware issue after the OTA update.

so this one apk contains everything i need for the media center. so i can replace that apk with a working one and its odex file from a stock phone? then can someone who has a working media center please pm or upload their media center file? thanks!

I'm so glad I went through the whole process and got Gingerblur 1.3 on my Atrix now. It works awesome and is real smooth, even though it already was. I will say it was a pain to put my apps and old texts back on, but that's normal. Thank you kennethpenn for your awesome work!

I want to wipe my account information from my Atrix. I'm running Ginger-Blur 1.2 can I do a factory reset on the phone without causing any issues? Or do I need to do a RSD lite 5.0 re-install of the firmware?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stewartsoda:
Do you just want to remove your accounts? I think you can do that from the settings screen.

If you want to go back to stock I'm pretty sure that requires a flash to the stock SBF with RSD.

I want to remove all my accounts and the main account this phone looks for. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stewartsoda:
So you want to remove the motoblur account, then? I don't think you can do that without at least a factory reset, like you mentioned. The problem is I don't know how GingerBlur deals with a factory reset, so someone else will have to comment on that.
