afaik this should be one of the 1.76 roms. you can find them in the development thread.
Here you can find old update.zip for your HTC HERO
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...oms-radios-in-update-zip-format-for-gsm-hero/
Yeah, omokas' link gives you the correct files.
You do realise that this is a step backwards, and that it probably isn't worth downgrading just for a flipping clock. The inherent lag that got worked out the old firmwares would probably get annoying.
(Though I realise you probably need the ROM for some other reason. Oh, and remember that those ROMs aren't rooted, although I think it's trivial to do using a little tool like one click root or equivalent.)
My Hero is not rooted, can i downgrade it?

I really want to downgrade only for flip clock, because i love it and after a search i haven't found a modded flip clock with flip working to apply on new roms

you need to create a goldcard to downgrade.
don't say afterwards you hadn't been warned: during this process you *can* brick your phone, you will need to read and learn a lot, it is a PITA. once you're done you have a flipping clock, but the rest of the apps on your phone will be slow and lagging. you won't be satisfied, and you will most certainly say that all this is not worth having a flip clock.
i wish you good luck downgrading, luckily my phone came with a 1.76 rom so i never had to go through the process...
Kendong2, I agree. Its a path that couls lead to misery.
On the other hand,this should go down as love story where an eliment of Hero becomes like lethal attraction. Nowt wrong with that.

Thanks, after this... i can live without flip clock.
I hope however that some developer try to port old and working flip clock to newer builds equipped phones.
But... if i root my device and flash an older rom zip file? Is it dangerous too?

it is basically the same process, but in this case it is worth the effort
you can also try the flashrec method, it was updated these days so it might work with newer roms now. you gotta check that, i have never used flashrec either, but from what i read it is WAY easier than the goldcard.
edit: once you have the custom recovery you can try an update.zip from an older rom, then you can see what you have to dismiss for a flipping clock... roms are in the stickies, to answer the thread title

Thanks a lot, but once i have rooted i can take out HtcClockWidget apk from an older rom, replace it in a newer update rom .zip, sign it and flash it, am i wrong?
Has someone tried this before?

Thank you very much, i flashed update-hero-generic-1.79.482.3-signed.zip and for now i'm happy with my "a little bit slower but with flipping clock" Hero.
Only problem is that i'd like to have root permission but on that link there are only newer rom rooted. What can i do?
EDIT: i followed howto and rooted it myself
is there an OTA stock 2.1 Rom i can just flash, and unroot with?
i know that if i root, i can flash other roms and what not , but then if i need to return my phone to verizon if it breaks,can i just flash the stock OTA 2.1 rom and i will lose root and verizon won't know i was ever rooted?
if i can do that can someone give me a link? i swear i saw one yesterday but i cant find it.
also, would verizon be able to tell if i did the same thing with the v3 leak, flashed a non rooted rom?
...im so confused
edit: if this is in the wrong section, sorry, please move to the correct one
77 views and not 1 single response wow.........
do a search for 2.1 RUU
thats what you need to flash to set your phone back to original factory 2.1 so that verizon could never tell you touched it

Anyone know how to do this?
Hi there, Forgive me if there is a thread already for this. But I have a T-Mobile UK Motorola Atrix and i want to reinstall the firmware that came with the phone. I was unable to do a backup of the stock rom and Currently have a Stock French rom on the device. Is there a way to put the original rom on it and lock the bootloader?
Thanks Adam
Ill second this request too.

This is SBF file which will get your mobile to stock and also will lock your bootloader (it's not going to be locked again but it will remove "unlocked" from top left corner).
In order to use sbf files you need to download RDS lite and have moto drivers installed. (If you are already unlocked then you will have all this tools)
This is link to original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944
REMEMBER this is an SBF file and it's not the safest way to go back to stock (but the best) and can brick your mobile if your pc is going to stop working/freeze/resboot while applying sbf...
Hope this help
P.S I did go back to stock this way and gave my phone for warranty without any problems.

This will only get you back to stock but you still will have "unlocked" on the top left corner. Just FYI
Thankyou
Thankyou for all your help I have the T-Mobile stock rom back on it now. I had to do a hard reset to make it work though. Just a note to anyone thinking of doing this. Does anyone know how to make the Atrix boot faster? It takes ages on the t-mobile screen. I have rooted it and was thinking of Freezing some parts of the OS but im a bit worried incase it messes up

i wouldnt bother, youd see a much bigger difference if you were using cm7 over one of the bloated moto roms boots super fast after first boot

I know this is a 4 months old threat.. but i need to send my at&t atrix to warranty and I have done anything possible on it..
Android version 2.3.6 and 4.5.141.. so I just have to flash .sfb file using RSD lite..? I've been reading and I don't want to hardbrick my phone..
I wanna make sure to do exactly what I have to.. if it got bricked well wtf but at least I did what I should..!!
Thks
t mobile
i have the t mobile uk 2.3.4 sbf save on pc
I really need the t-mobile uk sbf. How can I get it from you Ashley, can you upload it somewhere? thanks
did you ever upload the stock sbf file in the end because im looking for it aswell and all the links i find are dead :-s
Any help would be great
Hi, Can someone please re-upload the SBF from the start of this thread, I need to remove the unlocked and back to stock.
Thanks
I'll try and do it later this evening, check Sam Cripps Atrix Reboot Project thread at the top of this section, that's where I'll put it.
Done, it`s here http://samcripp.com/files/. I haven`t ever flashed this myself, but it`s straight from moto thro their updater SW so should be intact. I`m sure you`re aware there may be risks involved flashing an SBF, that said, enjoy!
Thanks.

I'm thinking on installing NottachTrix4G on my ATT Atrix. It's currently rooted, and unlocked, running 4.5.91.
I can't seem to find any reviews or recommendations for NottachTrix4G.
Can anyone comment on their experience with it, if you already have it? Also, is there an install guide somewhere?
Thanks
Welcome to the forums! Read the actual thread for Nottachtrix. The developer is very much so respected, and has a huge number of fans that use his ROM, your best bet is to just give it a shot and use it for a day or two to see if you like it. Don't forget to nandroid back up your current setup before wiping anything that way you you can very easily switch back if you are dissatisfied. All it takes is a SEARCH, figured I would be the nice one before you get flamed with a million "Use search!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" replys
Info
There is some info about Nottach Trix on here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430608
and here:

Also if you used and liked Darkside and/or Wet Dream you are 95% likely to enjoy Nottach Trix.

Link is in the ROM forum on Nottachtrix website
I moved from Wet Dream to Nottachtrix. So far, I've found the rom to be completely solid, all features working as advertised and without glitches on my end. At whatever point he releases his compatible ICS theme, I'll be a very happy camper.
About the most painless way to get up to 4.5.141, I'd say!
Is 1.2.3 the most current Version?
And Sheepacurious, what state were you at before?
unlocked BL?
Rooted?
4.5.93?

Unlocked bootloader, rooted, the dev post says Wet Dream was 4.5.140. Had to back up apps and SMS data, obviously, but you don't have to "get your phone back to stock" in order to flash this rom -- just make a nandroid backup and give it a shot.
as an international user (UK) do I need the ramfix.zip too.
The mods havent approved my login on the site, could anyone care to attach the file?
Many thanks

You will need the ramfix and you will be approved when Nottach gets round to it, so please don't be impatient.
I have been running this rom since yesterday the install is cool with the aroma installer the rom is relatively fast when let it settle in
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Its very nice rom the wayt it comes and you can choose what you want to add or remove its really great you should try it.
You can also go in and freeze more processes as well and right now man i got about 520 mb free and scoring around 6300 on antutu.
Its not like cm7 builds but you can use webtop and an alternative if you want to stack stock mainly for me its because i use my webtop.
try it it's pretty cool
I thought wet dream was awesome, this ROM is even better. I just downloaded it today and no complaints.
+1 for you to download.

Previous State
ROOT, UL BL, 2.3.4/4.5.91, Alien ROM
I accidentally hit the update option when it popped up on the screen instead of hitting later. Then I the wifi off on my phone and that prevented the update from being downloaded. I tried to do a couple of things to prevent it from downloading
1. Freezing Upgrader 2.3.4 using TiBu - This did not work.
2. Using CWM - Cleared cache etc and this did not do the trick either.
So, I finally gave up and used UncleCemka's guide to upgrade to 4.5.141 (2.3.6) and it was successful.
So, present state
ROOT, UL BL, 2.3.6/4.5.141, Stock.
Can I flash NottachTrix4G? The thing I miss the most is the WebTop over HDMI
Thanks in advance,

Yes. It'll work fine. It doesn't mess with the webtop partition, so you'll need to re-do the HDMI exploit or flash the 2.3.6 webtop fruitcake which has that fix worked in.

Here you go. It's the Fruitcakes thread over in the dev forum.
now: you took the OTA update, which I'm pretty sure updated your webtop as well. The webtop fruitcake says 4.5.140; this may or may not be precisely the same version as your current one. With that in mind, I might try redoing the webtop-over-HDMI hack first since it's a pretty simple procedure and keeps your current version intact.
Hi All,
I was curious what my best method to receiving the latest stock Rom on my phone would be, while, if possible, maintaining MDK as my phone's Bootloader.
All I'm really looking for is the MDK bootloader, Latest Stock Rom, and root.
I'm no longer really interested in keeping up with custom roms at this time, which has led me to consider unrooting the phone and taking the OTA updates, but haven't yet, as I feel I may regret it later.
Please advise,
Dan.

If you are rooted and have recovery just flash the mk2 full stock deodex...its 100% stock mk2(newest ota) minus the locked down bootloader...it gives you the full experience without losing ability to flash aosp roms...don't forget to backup current rom beforehand... Good luck!
