getting atrix back to stock - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I looked all over the place, maybe im blind, but i didnt find anything showing me how to get back to stock if i want (undo the adeo 'rom' deodexing and whatnot) so that i can either return the phone, or eventually update to the next official software release when/if it comes out for the atrix.
sorry if its already posted somewhere but i aint finding it! or is there not a way yet?

stock 2.1 ROM?

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

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

[Q] Leaked Gingerbread or Official Gingerbread from Moto/ATT

So, its mid July ...I'm sure the update for Gingerbread is coming ....but apparently ...mostly everyone has installed the leaked gingerbread...now I ask is it worth it to go back to stock to be able to download the new update if so how do I go back? What do I need to flash? This question has probably been answered but I couldnt find it...thanks.

Hello filmusikat,
I see that you're running gingerblur 4.5 on your atrix, so do i. You need to flash 4.1.8.3 official sbf and check for the gingerbread update regulary. I don't think the leaked gb roms are worth to spend time for now. They all have glitches which would effect daily usage.

Hi filmusikat!
The latest ROM has proven to be very stable:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169409
The instructions are included within the thread. Not addressing the unlocking part since your signature already tells you got it.
As for being worthy, I say it is. I was in Gingerblur too, and the performance difference is big.

no glitches affecting any daily usage on me for 4.5.91. 100% functional, and 100% better than froyo.
Remains to be seen which version of GB will be the official release. The leaked versions everyone is flashing may not be the most current which will be offered up.
NOTE SHE/HE NEVER MENTION GB 4.5, actually if she/he indeed installed ota gb update.zip, with you instructions she/he will have a HARD BRICK
So first thing to find out is what actually she/he has installed

Thank you guys for the reply..I am a she btw(to the last post). I currently have kens beta gingerbread rom installed. I know my signature says otherwise..i haven't changed it. So... I guess I should not flash 1.8.3 cuz I would end up with a hard brick... so where to now from here if I wanted to test out the official ota coming soon?

Install fruitcake updates, forget about ota forever. If there is anything good in the ota, our kind devs will include it in our roms.

I've got to say I'm very pleased... I have Gingerbread beta 4-5, hotspot enabled, webtop working perfectly via webtop-joe, Netflix - streamingly like it should. My Atrix feels like it should have come out of the box like this. I honestly don't think within the next year or two they will release another operating system better than GB and by then I'd probably be upgraded to the newest phone AT&T has... Atrix Quad core 3D with a 5" screen LOL

For the nice lady:
"If you want to confirm your status, please adb, su, and "cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm" or just open the file in Root Explorer. If you see something like:
10000000000010001000300004000
Then you should NOT SBF anything from Motorola"
If you want to post your ReservedOdm to look and see if you will be fine to SBF 1.83 again
Probably you are safe if you actually installed Kenth by CDW or moto-fastboot (boot.img and system.img)
But if you actually run the update.zip or any update trought the normal android recovery screen and if you saw the following legend "updating AP20 bootloader" in that case you CAN NOT flash any SBF from Motorola
I hope it help

flashing DX2 to stock

So, I rooted the Droid X2 in my sig a while ago. Now, the gingerbread update came out, and I was asked to "make it work" after the update failed. From what I've learned here, its because it can't find the bloatware. Now, I'm seeing guides here, to revert to total stock, but, IDK, maybe its because I'm tired or something, but I can't make heads or tails of it. I'm normally pretty good with all this, but I'm still a proficient ameture, not a pro. I need to get this thing to unrooted stock 2.3 as soon as possible. Can someone just, IDK, put one of the guides for reverting in noob terms? I know my stuff, but I'm just not in the mindset to decode the lingo used, sorry >_<
This should also help others with this same problem who aren't uber-coders.
Go to the android development subforum and read guide on how to sbf to stock 2.2.2 in the sticky thread its the rsdlite tutorial, then check for updates on the phone, i don't think it can possibly be explained better
Edit its the sbf tutorial

Yep, straight up flash to Gingerbread.
I don't think I will be using this sbf.
Thank you! This can only help further development for our phone!
So... Would the pre-rooted Gingerbread update.zip work on this? I am a bit confused. Keeping Froyo SBF for now, but thanks!
This will end up with a locked bootloader and no root access. This update is somewhat pointless unless you are having warranty issues.

If you use this you will have to sbf back to 2.2.2, root, bootstrap and load the prerooted version to get root back, until someone mods gingerbreak for this phone, or makes an entirely new root exploit program

Which is precisely the reason to download it. This is a quick flash back to stock for warranty or sale.

I thought that after I wrote that. I just didn't want to man up and own up to it after making that kind of brash statement... I guess I did by posting this.
It's cool. The first thought through my head was "He only has 61 posts and joined in April of this year. Is this legit?"
I am sure the devs here will pick it apart and let us know if anything is wrong, but that is how things get released from what I have seen. They just appear in the most unlikely post. Thanks OP.
The sbf file is 455MB. The filesonic site charges $9 for any file above 400MB. Any chance we could get the file hosted somewhere else that would not charge for it? I would love to have it, but I am not paying $9 for it. I already have an sbf for 2.2.2
All you have to do is reflash it, then your phone picks up 2.3.3 via over the air update.
I think this happened when the 2.2.2 sbf was released. Someone posted it on a site that charged for large downloads. Then someone else posted the same sbf on a free site.
Could we do this with this GB sbf?

Just to clarify. So no one is confused. What you pay for is bandwidth, if you CHOOSE to become a premium member of Filesonic.
My files are free to download. My user settings are set to 1GB max for free users. The 400MB limit always appears if you are not a premium member. But if you TRY to download it first, like most people do, you will find out that you can.
Thanks. Sorry to confuse anyone. I should keep my confusion to myself...

ICS Update Un Rooted My Phone... Quick ?

Hopefully I posted this in the right forum, If not please move it!
Ok, So I updated my phone via Kies and got the official ICS update (Finally) for my AT&T Galaxy Note, Problem is, as expected... it unrooted my phone and I'd like it rooted again, I want to keep the new official stock ICS rom and just want it rooted again to delete all that garbage bloatware to keep my phone sharp, any help?
Do i just re-root it doing it the same way I did before?
Will it ruin my new ICS rom?
Can anyone link me to the files that will root my phone but keep the ICS Stock Rom?
I didnt have a single problem Rooting it the first time on ginerbread, but Im not sure what will happen with a different official rom installed. Just dont wanna have to reinstall ICS again or something, when I just spent about an hour setting it back to how I had everything, then remembered updating unrooted me.
Any advice or help is really appreciated!
Thanks!
Not really in right section more like a Q&A section.
However the devs need a little time to sort through all the code but these guys are smart and root will come soon and they will proudly announce it. Just enjoy for now.

And I hope im not asking too much, but can anyone link me to the files I need directly? The last ones I used was from a source outside of XDA (xda was down for maintenance) and I think it gave me a virus on my computer and after doign a system restore today i dont wanna do that again lol. so if its not a problem can someone link me to the right files i need?
Thanks everyone!
Yes.
Now look one post above your last one.
To see the links Mr. Joe is referencing you need to be on a pc.
To install CWM you need to be on a pc.
To root you need a pc.
Mr.Joe would only post trusted links.

I successfully updated my Note to ICS yesterday and want to root it again as well. I looked through the Note section in BigJoe's thread, but can't figure out exactly what files I need. I rooted it with Gingerbread without issue. I've looked through the unlocking/rooting section and the one thread that explains how to root specifically says that the method will NOT work with the official ICS update.
Sorry to sound so dense, but could someone link exactly which files I/we need to root the official ICS via Odin?
What you asked for is in the third post.

ps that odin3 file doesnt work just gives a random script window then force closes
