Upon getting my Atrix and rooting it, I uninstalled some of the bloatware Bell put on it. However, I saw some topics on XDA saying that the apps should be frozen instead of removed, otherwise the phone could not be updated. Does someone with a Bell Atrix mind putting up the APKs of apps that Bell put on (Remote PVR, Kobo, TV & Radio, Zoompass + others)? Thanks in advance.
Here is a .zip with a dump of my /system directory. if you go into the app folder in that .zip all the .apk's you're looking for should be in there
Hey I just got my bell atrix too, what are those files necessary for?

it's just because he removed them. They're on every device and if you don't know what they're for, then you haven't removed them or done anything to them so you don't need to download that. It's just that it is rumoured that without them you can't install an official update.

the "roms" that are out now for the atrix (not technically the same as a traditional rom) will freeze the apps by themselves, but not exactly delete them. This is the accepted method, freezing them will stop them from taking up memory/lagging your device, but won't affect any updates that are to be made.
that being said - none of the ROMs out just yet include bell support - although ken is working on it for his next release of GingerBlur.
how can I install the APKs from the fastboot screen? Is it even possible?

no, unfortunately not. the only thing that would really help is a .sbf file that you could flash through RSD.
the only problem is that neither bell, nor motorola canada has seen fit to "release" (or leak) the necessary files to flash our phones back to stock.
Tagged to read later...
Sorry for digging up an old thread. I accidentally deleted some of the Bell bloatware, and I think I'll need those for the new GB update that's being released. I tried installing the apks posted in this thread, but some of them won't work. I'm guessing it's a different version than after the 2.2.2 update?
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance.
Which version is this dump from, is it 2.2.2? I ask because my 2.3.4 update is failing because the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml file is failing the hash check - I tried overwriting it with the one in your zip but it still isn't working :-/
Try erasing cache data, then installing the 2.2.2 gobstopper by nfhimself.

Read the guide in the dev forum. Only at&t phones can have at&t sbf's. All the other phones can share sbfs AFAIK. therefore brazil atrix cannot get 1.8.3 as its for at&t. These are the risks in modifying locked down devices

Helo guys, I used to own a Samsung Galaxy S, and last week I got the Droid X2 from Verizon. So now I'm seeing new terms being used like sbf, debloat, freeze, etc...
My DX2 is root and I also have the V6 Supercharger, and I still can't get the GB update.
I believe many users on this forum have the same case as mine, so can anyone give us steps to follow in order to get the update.
Thank you so much

I came from a similar situation. I just got the x2 as a replacement for my fascinate due to repetitive missed call issues. I updated to Gingerbread today using the tips on this forum & the file posted to the mediafire link. The first thing you'll need to do for this update to work is undue all the non-stock modifications you've done.
Unsupercharge
Unfreeze or replace any stock apps you may have uninstalled. This is where the sbf comes in, it's the stock image that was loaded when it left the factory.
Unroot, might not be necessary but its better safe than sorry. Especially since this update is unrootable atm.
Rename the downloaded file update.zip & put it in the root of your sdcard-ext.
Flash from the stock recovery & you should be good.
Whatever other info you need, search these threads-its in there somewhere.

The SBF does infact restore you to stock 2.2.2
It should also be the first thing you do when you get the phone (before rooting etc) It blows my mind that people would mess with their device without doing an SBF at least once.
The SBF will usually require you to battery pull at the end, go to stock Android recovery and wipe data and cache. (unless you did that before running the SBF)
On Vista and Windows 7 make sure you right click RSDlite and choose to "run as admin"
Everyone who did the OTA or the 2.3 update from here at XDA and wants p3droids rooted update is going to have to SBF momentarily. We should get rooted 2.3 this afternoon according to p3's twitter
I unrooted my phone and uninstalled the Supercharger, I sbf'd back to stock Froyo successfully, and still I can't get the update. What else should I do?

superuser in stock dump?
@shabbypenguin,
I was reading through your AIO root thread and it occurred to me that I had rooted prior to extracting the system dump that is posted in op as "Stock". Therefore, there is a version of superuser present in /app that I assume may not have been there as delivered. Of course, I may be making an incorrect assumption.
Is it appropriate then to call this stock, or is it a given that rooting would have been necessary to perform the dump in the first place?
I also don't know if this would affect your deodexed version?
Just wondering if this fact needs to be mentioned somewhere, unless I just did.

This is simply a stock from from the Photon's "sister," the Electrify. No one has even identified if there are any benefits/improvements hidden inside this ROM, much less how compatible it is with the Photon.
Just because something IS flashable doesn't mean you SHOULD flash it. OP was very clear - this is for devs only, not public consumption. If you don't know enough, then you're better off exercising some patience and waiting for further announcements.
actually im gunna guess that the man has an electrify and my cwm script is busted
I would venture to guess that you guys will have the same issue we do with the photon roms. As other members on my team verified that root, recovery, kernel and unlock work from the photon. The kernel needed wifi fixed which was pretty simple. In which I pm'd shabby about earlier. The roms also work but some things need fixed to get it working.
I don't know all the details besides what weasel told myself. But mms, 3g I believe works but going back to stock it wouldn't, eri says sprint, blur e-mail fc's and activation for sprint kept popping up to where you have to skip it. Weasel has fixed most of the stuff in the homebase port. I believe e-mail still fc's and mms is still broke.
But here is the first deodex rom weasel and myself did if you want to add it to the first post. http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=265
Then here is the kernel shabby did with wifi fixed ready to install. Only rc-1 since wifi was broke in rc-2. If the electrify people want to install it just grab it from shabby's thread. There was reports of 3000's+ in bench's. Not sure of rom it was on but I would venture to guess our stock rom. http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=334
Then here is the port for homebase weasel is playing with http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=268 if you guys wanted to look at it.
i would gather a lot of frameworks issues, as with services.jar would happen between the phones.
edit: you keep saying you fixed wifi. but the only way to fix it, is by rebuilding the modules using my config file.. which only i have...
unless im missing some other way to replace it?
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.

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

About the most painless way to get up to 4.5.141, I'd say!

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.

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 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.

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.
I had mentioned "Something Special" is in the works a couple days ago. As a part of this I need an clean ODEX backup of the Electrify. The procedure is as follows;
One "Factory Reset" (don't want your personal info) unlocked Electrify w/ CWM Recovery
Run Recovery and create a backup
Zip the /system/app and /data/app folder and name it as "Electrify Stock"
Upload and PM me the link
P.S.- If you happen to have ANY current 2.3 Moto Blur phone, doing the above will be much appreciated.
I will not go into what this is for but I'm quite sure some of you can guess. Don't spoil it.

No trouble. Have had the phone for one whopping day, so nice to be able to help out already.
I'm a lazy sod, grabbed the first bootstrap recovery I found for the Photon, which turned out to be sorta-port from the Droid X2, and apparently the Atrix before that. Long story short, old recovery, so spits out .img instead of .tar. You can have the whole system image for the Electrify, I'll pack the RAZR's /system/app up properly.
Uploading now, will add the links when my connection gets around to finishing the job.
EDIT:
Stock 2.3.5 Electrify system image: http://www.sendspace.com/file/5tn660

Status:
img are a no go, going need tar files that contain /system/app and /data/app. If some one can get me a tar for the Electrify I should be able to release a proof of concept shortly afterwards.
Still need tar files for other current motoblur phones.
The second link is a straight dump of /system/app from the RAZR, extracted from a nandroid tar, so that should be fine.
Will find a more recent bootstrap recovery for the Electrify and get back to you.
What do you need from /data/app ?
Sent from my Motorola Electrify using xda premium
Got things mixed up (working on parallel projects with minor differences). I've fixed the OP. I simply need system/app and data/app from clean STOCK Odexed motoblur phones in tar not img. CWM5 will do this. They need to be clean for your safety and this project. Sorry if I'm being vague or secretive about it but the project goal is for all motoblur phones.

Everything. There's actually other areas of the factory rom I could use. This may turn into a really big project, really quick so doing it in phases makes it easier.
