Ok, what the duce?!?! I flashed SBF 1.2.6 back to stock... Now I'm trying to install gingerblur and all the install.bat does is run through the sequence in 2 seconds, and reboot my phone with no changes. What are I doing wrong this time? :confused:

Yes, I have USB debugging on and the connection set to NONE.

Do I need a root before gungerblur install? I thought it did it for me????
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Really no one??? Yaw are just gonna leave me hanging here with crap Motoblur :p

***Edit***

Well for what ever reason, a fresh download and unzip of RC1 seems to have done the trick.... Man, I got gremlins coming out of my ass tonight!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daveop:
Run the file called ADB in the directory. For whatever reason, I had the exact same thing happen to me last night and after running that file it worked. I also unplugged and replugged the phone in once. The combination of the two solved it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wavinwilly:
fwiw, I had the exact same scenario play out. I just restarted my atrix and that did the trick. (On day 1, it had to be restarted a couple of times to get everything shiny for whatever reason)

Button Backlights

The four buttons at the bottom don't seem to have a backlight for any reason anymore. Do you think the KeepTheLightsOn mod would work?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Izmartell:
K I'm new here to this forum and new to the whole flashing thing, so yea I'm a newb. I came across this thread and found it interesting. So I downloaded and flashed beta 5 over AdeoV2. Nothing wrong happened, it rebooted itself and I didn't get stuck at the AT&T screen as others stated. The thing is when it booted up I didn't noticed any difference at all. Everything is the same as before I flashed to this Beta 5. Only thing I noticed is a few apps missing. Did I do something wrong or do I have to install all the apk files inside the .zip file? Sorry for being such a newb, would appreciate any help. Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tdo700:
Installed b1 over adeo 0.2 and had a couple little problems. After installing b5, it fixed all the problems I had. Launcher worked fine. Installed webtop version and webtop works just fine on my 1080p TV. Great work!!!

Update: back light on 4 button on bottom works randomly. Sometimes it work sometime it don't.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mixercub:
ok so the beta 5 is working ok i guess for me, but im not getting the new lock screen or new icons and status bar icons. Followed directions and everything.Was rooted and just flashed over stock.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Shizlak:
Working great so far! Awesome job!

I would LOVE you if you could get AOSP Contacts working. :p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Djazin:
Would so love to see a low memory killer of some sort in this, other than that loving the work so far cant wait for the next ones as they come out. Awesome job keep it up XD
[Atrix 4G Android Development] b1indsided:
does the fingerprint wrk with the lock screen?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mixercub:
Yeah, the fignerprint is workin fine for me
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
You need to reflash... sounds Luke a failed install.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] b1indsided:
thanks ill flash now :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mixercub:
Reflashed one more time and now I have all the icons and wallpaper like in the screen shots
[Atrix 4G Android Development] b1indsided:

On Beta 5...was doing great, but it destroyed my contacts list and now have to resync, and messages isn't recognizing my numbers anymore.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] boman311:
I ran the install.bat for beta 5 and it went thru all the stages. Now the launcher looks like gingerbread and i got the keyboard but no super user, tethering, sideloading or flash 10.2. I loaded all the drivers and they all seemed to load fine. What am I doing wrong?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] b1indsided:
GREAT FIND BRO! i really appreciate it!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] b1indsided:
so the only thing i found wrong was the gallery was still named false and also the pic frame widget was not wrking properly meaning u could go through with the process of picking a picture but it wouldnt load the widget. aside from that THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tuantuti:
i do miss the MotoBlur widget (like the wifi and bluetooth toggle), i think it would be nice to have them as options :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
To all those having problems:

I'm sorry! This isn't the ideal way to install a ROM, but we have no recovery. I am going to re-make this baby when I have time and it will be done with shell scripts that allow:

More stable, guaranteed installation

Uninstallation, restore to pre-GingerBlur

Flash back to stock

Choice of which applications you'd like to stay/get rid of

More features!

Faster installation

For now, please bare with me here. This is a "beta" and everyone flashes at his own risk!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paravorheim:
Just updated, to find that a new version was released...

I was in the process of putting Gingerblur 7.7 on my phone, and once it was finished, I refreshed this page. In the time I spent putting 7.7 on, an RC 1 was released! Is it truly necessary for me to reflash the SBF, if I haven't even done anything to the phone after installing Gingerblur?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tl_bull:
Same here 7.7 to RC1 back to back. My new class 10 microSD died in the process :( nice rom though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
I have a hard time believing a ROM that simply pushes some /system/app files corrupted your microSD. It doesn't mess with SD at all!

Pop that sucker into a computer with an SD reader and you can probably save it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] KefkaticFanatic:
So I'm new to Android in general, how is it restoring all of your apps/settings after doing something like flashing the SBF or installing GingerBlur? Does it simply redownload everything, or do you have to manually go through a download history?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Applications can be backed up through Titanium Backup.

Contacts, email, etc. should be backed up to your Google account.

I usually just re-download my applications, though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
If someone with an AT&T Atrix 4G is willing to test out something very special... please PM me.

WARNING: this test may end up screwing up your phone. Unlikely... but I take no responsibility for problems.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Doxy17:
Hmm.... This sounds very tempting...

Very curious now? (O_O)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] deromedi:
beta 7.7 to RC1 ?

Hello all,

Do I need to flach SBF to go from beta 7.7 to RC1?

If yes, How do I get SBF ?

Is there really a difference between the 2?

BTW, benchmarks scores are lower with beta 7.7 compared to stock... is it normal ? (I thought it was faster)

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] farwish:
I find a bug on the [ROM] GingerBlur ★ RC1 ★

I find a bug on the [ROM] GingerBlur ★ RC1 ★

After I make a video by using Camcorder, I cant playback by Click the "small playback window". B/C It will open Gallery which was replaced by GingerBlur ★ RC1 ★. This Gallery cant playback video, also it is hard to find the photo you just take.

This new Gallery is unsuited to use in photo and video playback. It is too complicated for photo and video playback.

Anyway, GingerBlur is really good ROM, I uesd it since 6.x

I just got new RC1

Thanks for your working
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MaluNoPeleke:
Can someone please confirm if the Facebook contact sync bug is fixed?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Flash SBF 1.2.6. Then flash GingerBlur RC1. Go into "Accounts" application click on facebook. Retype your password and press okay... wait for it to log in. Takes a while. Turn Sync on (if not on already). Add Google account.

Works for me... 10 test tries. ;) see images of it working a few pages back.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MaluNoPeleke:
Thanks but doesn't it work for SBF 1.5.2, too?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
A strange observation:

Am in to my 3rd (in the last two weeks I think, thanks for all the updates Kenneth!!) version of Gingerblur and flashing the SBF takes this time at least twice as long..

Anything I should be worried about..?

EDIT: All worked out well, obviously, it did however take much longer. I used the original Atrix USB cable this time as oppose to a cheap USB cable the other times. There can't be a difference in speed though, it's the same USB port on a same type cable..? Odd
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uordfi:
Installed first try Atrix BELL, good work,

it looks fantastic.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] frewys:
The mobile hotspot is not working. Verify against AT&T and get denied. Running RC1 but I'm on a Swedish network ATM. Does that has anything to do with it?

Forget about this.. solved...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] spline1:
Can i use the Kitchen http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ for change my framework?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kpfury:
Thanks for the fantastic ROM. A couple of observations, not sure if they're real issues:

I use Beautiful Weather, and when I click on the widget, the 4-day forecast pops up. Today is Tuesday, but the first day in the forecast is Monday (and not showing any sun icon, it's blank). Is this normal?

Does Gingerbread normally not have the option to resize widgets?

Thanks!

Upgraded from 7.7 to RC1 and still getting white on white menus in Root explorer...don't feel like restoring to SBF at this point....anyone who restored have it working correctly?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tha5150:
and good morning to you all too.. RC1? oh yeah... guess i have my morning cur out for me here at work. nothing work related of course. haha

but the hotspot hack is HUGE for me and i need this verified working.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hurley18:
Just flashed and installed RC1, now titanium backup says i have no root privileges and superuser / hdmi mirror is nowhere to be found...

ideas anyone?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LancerV:
Its a program flaw
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JayRolla:
Just manually add the hotspot hack. Works en everytime.

Hi everyone, I just went from 7.7 to RC1 and now my Motoblur account is gone. Its not even an option under the accounts menu. Should i reinstall? Or is it something more than that? Sorry I'm kind of new to this but any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll have to uninstall Gingerblur in order to get the new update from Motorola

Since I'm new on this forum I can't posthttps://supportforums.motorola.com/message/352214#352214Outside links

Any idea how long it might take for a new root method to be developed? Do you expect that GBlur will also need to be modified? Are we talking days, weeks, or months?

Thanks,

Hey ken, I would be willing to test some things for you as long as it won't brick my phone completely. I would love to do anything that I can to help. If it weren't for people like you, I would probably think about taking this phone back. I appreciate everything you are doing with this. In my opinion, motorola should just be paying you instead of their devs.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] H0CKEY:
well lets see some screen shots of this ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Well after flashing sbf and installing RC1, I finally got everything back to the way I had it. I opted to install all the mods/hacks manually; the webtop, flash and hotspot/tether mods.

A few things that I had to do out of the ordinary: I had to use aRoot after installing RC1 over a fresh sbf, b/c upon installing titanium backup to restore my apps, it wasn't granted root permission; something about super user not being up to date, and it wouldn't update on its own (aRoot fixed all this).

Also, after re-installing titanium backup of Adobe Flash, and even manually adding the flash mod file, I still had to uninstall flash, reboot, install flash from market again, reboot, and then manually install moded flash file, and reboot again... works now though.

Still having one small problem though, I like to change and add different sound files to my Atrix, so I normally drop these files in the corresponding folders under the audio section of the phone; sometimes I will replace some of the UI sound files, like unlock and lock (yes I have a backup saved on my ext. micro sd card. All my added custom ringtones and notification sounds are working great, however the files I used to replace Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg are not working... simply no sound at all now. I've tried rebooting, power off, pulling the battery, and even tried re-installing the original sound files, and they wont even work now... I don't have any sound effects for the lock and unlock feature, even though the files are there in the folder. Any Thoughts?

Oh yeah, and the root explorer white on white menus are still there.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Flash from clean SBF and your MotoBlur account, facebook sync, and everything will work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MrMilano:
Ken,

Are your facebook contact pictures syncing in the gingerbread messaging app? I'm getting sync in contacts but not here. I figure that this is just the way it is, but I figured I ask.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jkurl:
I had the same problem w/ my moto blur account after flashing the SBF and then going to RC1. Of course SBF said it failed but for some reason eveything was updated. I did another SBF install and it worked great this time. Just reloaded Gingerblur RC1 and my blur account was still there.

Weird the OTA got pulled today. Well some are reporting it as pulled and others got it. I think maybe my daily tweets to motorola asking to unlock the bootloader are working. one can hope. at least I am annoying them I hope.

will the next gblur be based on the new OTA above
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SS2006:
in other words can i run GBlur over the 1.5.7 sbf
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LancerV:
Have to get root access before anything

I am working on GingerBlur for the 1.5.7 update! Will be a bit harder though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jeffc:
Update from ATT fails

I just recieved a notice to my phone for a system update from ATT. I downloaded and hit install. It rebooted and the update failed. After letting it sit 5 mins or so with the droid logo and (!) icon it finally offered the reboot menu.

So it sayed installation failed and went back to regular Gingerblur.

In the release notes for the update it talked about blutooth issues, stability, etc. Didn't look like a major update (11megs) but I'm wondering what us GB folks are going to do about these updates?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
You can flash the update SBF file:

http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-1-5-7-ota-update-sbf

Or you can continue on GingerBlur with 1.2.6 or 1.5.4.

You can't have both the update and GingerBlur right now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] madbrenner:
The update is supposed to lock down current methods for rooting the device. GingerBlur roots the phone, so they are incompatible until someone figures out a way to root the Atrix with the update.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jiggytom:
Sounds like we have root for the new update. Is it possible to run the update on top of gingerblur? What will happen? Do we then redo gingerblur after update?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LancerV:
What if we took out the part of achieving temporary root if we were already rooted?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DannyV94:
I am willing to try out the new *special* piece you have.

what are the chances of a brick on it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cmegamighty:
How do I go about installing the latest version of gingerblur if I have version 6.5 installed? wil this work with the latest official atrix firmware that just came out (i have no idea what it does)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] waktasz:
I get the same message. I thought maybe it was because I froze a lot of the junk sync/socialnetworking/blur stuff, but I unfroze everything and still have the problem.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
no, it won't work over the most recent. it will work over 6.5, but its recommended to install over an older (not the newest update) stock .sbf

see this thread for further instructions on how to go to stock before installing RC1
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ceo.mtcl:
I installed the gingerblur RC1 just now. I am a heavy corporate user and I need the corporate sync and i faced issues with corp sync in gingerblur. However, I used enhanced Email in the market and that works just fine for me. Also for those of who you have calendar problems have you tried Enhanced Email + Business Calender?

I have a problem. How do I know if the webtop hack is working? I inserted the hdmi cable to the TV and it still says Media and not the Webtop.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vigneshd:
Then you know it's not working. If you pick webtop and hdmi mirroring, neither of them will work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SS2006:
So i SHOULDNT run the current RC over 1.5.7 ?

there is root now
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
no, not as of now.

if you want the update you give up gingerblur for now, if you want gingerblur, downgrade to an earlier stock version and wait for a newer release of GB.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SS2006:
even tho you can preserve root now , so technically gblur can still push the files no?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
i believe either the frameworks or some other critical system files are different, causing the newest update to be incompatible with the files being pushed in GBlur
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ceo.mtcl:
So how do I get the webtop hack? Where did i go wrong? I did accept it when I was asked for it during the install process.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
if you accepted both the webtop hack and HDMI mirroring, neither will work, if you reinstall GBlur and then addons.bat and select only one of those two it should work

unless thats not your problem, in which case i dunno what happened.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DKRussell:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] CinderWild:
I just flashed RC1 and I like it a lot. I haven't used any of the previous versions of GinderBlur(or any other rom for that matter) so I was a little apprehensive.

Everything went smoothly though. My finger print sensor failed to initialize on first boot but after a restart that was all fixed.

All in all this seems like a solid rom. I left the "bloatware" installed*so i wouldn't experience the bugs mentioned in the instructions.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tecguru315:
I recently installed your gingerbread 7.7 beta rom then i uninstalled it..

now i want install this..and when ever i go to install it through the bat file..it says "device not found"...any ideas (i changed usb connection to "none" as well

any ideas...

it also now does this with anyother bat file installed...

help please...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jmoore087:
So if I flash and then reinstall RC1, my motoblur account should be back? I'm apprehensive because I dont want to lose my texts and stuff for no reason. Does titanium backup restore text messages too?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] drock212:
I found out how to replicate the motoblur issue. In root explorer system/framework there's an apk called blur-res I think now correct me if im wrong this reset blur and interrupts social networking app. This issue seems to be happening with some launchers and also gingerblur. Ken does gingerblur touch this at all? Since it doesn't happen every time could it be something we're running?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jmoore087:
Yeah that would be great if someone could figure this problem out before I flash. I'd hate to if it wasnt necessary.
