Ive flashed back to the stock rom many many times after playing with roms here and wanting to go back. Almost every time before I did I would use a zip through clockwork that wipes everything and I did this time too but for some reason after odin installs the stock firmware successfully the phone reboots as usual then goes through its checks and it always fails to wipe data. So my biggest issue is the phone is unusuable until I can do this because it boots to the tmobile screen and then the screen goes black but the phone is on as the capacative keys at the bottom still light up when touched. Any help on this would be great but its looking like Im going to have to get another one.

Are you sure you didn't get this after you installed the Voodoo lag fix??? You will have to read through this, but it looks like there's a fix in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781456
Got to page three and read from there.
You are correct. I finally narrowed it down because I had done several updates through clockwork today but that was it. I am reading through forums to see about a fix, good thing I have other phones to play with too.
i got the same thing. did you figure it out?

I hope someone answered you.
It messed up because I flashed the Vibrant Voodo Lag-fix w/OC-Optimized 2.6.29 Kernel - Beta4 9/19/2010
To disable, simply place a new folder in the "Voodoo" folder on your SDcard (the internal one) name it "disable lagfix" (e.g /sdcard/Voodoo/disable lagfix") no extention just that exact name and reboot. After your phone boots and you check that your /data partition is again RFS you can re-apply any other kernel you were using.
now redo the stock kernel and stock rom via odin and you should be fine.
yea im having same issue, how do you put the folder in if the phone doesn't show anything, just a black screen?!
I have same problem
How can i add the folder if the screen is black?
please help
thanks

Everything has been find now the new update came out .83. I try to dl and install it from my phone and it reboots on install and the green android guy and an explamation point pop up. I have to restart after that and the phone is back to normal but with no update.

umm its normal for it to show the android guy with the ! with int he triangle. jsut let it install and get root again with ginger break. let it finish do not interrupt it while it is updating. let it reboot by it self.
There are numerous threads in development that tell you how to flash to the 1.57 sbf file. Then I went to the motorola website and did the update to 1.83 from there.

I have Bricked my phone edditing system folder permissions...
REGREATED ROOTING EVER SINCE
Any way to fix it its simply the phone keeps rebooting with a red light blinking and the M sign dual core stuck
Ive tried 2 methods but they didnt work!! :'(
Rsd method
and the abd method i didnt fully understand because im still nubbish
sbf should fix this, after flash is complete if it still bootloops your probably using a service sbf so will need to enter android recovery and manually clear data etc. to do this hold volume down while turning on device, then keep pressing it till it says android recovery, press volume up, then you have to tap the bottom right corner to show the options when the android logo appears
Hi all I am in the same boat I followed the briefmobile instructions http://briefmobile.com/download-android-2-3-4-gingerbread-for-motorola-atrix-4g
Tried the Android recovery deleting cash and installing from SD but I keep getting failed authentication (or something like that)
Can anybody help or post a topic that can lead me in the right direction

yes you will still get ota updates
i wouldnt recommend you trying the gingerbread stuff without doing A LOT of reading first, id just wait for it to arrive ota personally rather than risk messing your phone up again
What I don't get is that people edit random things and break their phones. Why did you change the permissions?

OK new problem now I am out of battery, and I cant do anything to charge it. So the only thing I can do is in Android recovery but I cant find a update.zip file that will authenticate. Any ideas on how to get the battery charged? and where to get a update.zip that will work?
please help I know I may of hijacked this thread but it is a similar situation.
Follow directions to SBF your phone back to stock Froyo
HERE
After you have followed those directions, THIS IS IMPORTANT PEOPLE, go thru the setup, *228 option 1 and all.
Go ahead and do a factory data reset/wipe your phone from Settings>>Privacy>>Factory Data Reset
After wiping the phone re-root with Gingerbreak and instal Tenfar Lin's Recovery.
Tutorials for rooting and installing recovery as well as additional download links/mirrors can be found in the sticky or here:
Root
Recovery
Place the downloaded GB Pre-Rooted file un the root(top of filesystem/not in any folder) of your externad sd card and rename to "update.zip".
Reboot into recovery thru Tenfar's Bootstrap Recovery app and select "Apply SDCARD : update.zip"
NOTE : It will take a long time, about 15 minutes... EDIT: I dont remember how long it takes with the new prerooted version.... I did this at work yesterday...
Reboot your phone. IT WILL BOOTLOOP!!! EDIT: If it bootloops, pull battery, reboot holding power and volume down, use volume down to scroll to stock/built in recovery, press volume down and up at the same time twice until you get the menu, wipe/factory data reset....
The phone will seem to stall at the eye, but give it time... EDIT: I wasnt watching as I was doing this at work....
Eventually you will be at your home screen and all will be well and rooted in the wonderful world of GingerBread!!
ENJOY!!!

Have you tried a battery pull and reboot? Make sure you don't have any kind of mod at all and if it still doesn't work, SBF back to bone dry stock, wipe, remove/uninstall any and all apps you may still have and try again...

Wow, this first time I tried rsd it called the device 'fastboot' rather than the usual Daytona
I tried again after several battery pulls and got to where it called it Daytona and went ahead and flashed and thank you, it worked.
Even scarier was that I could not boot to use the nandroid backup either! I plugged into the wall outlet without the battery, inserted the battery and still had boot failure 1!!
I thought it was supposed to be possible to sbf back to 2.2? I am stuck in a boot loop now....sigh
great, tried again and notice that my error 7 says error in /sdcard/update.zip <sigh>
back to the same issue I think...
Just so EVERYBODY knows, I got the sdcard error and the bootloop issue and I panicked and SBF-ed again!!! After the second sbf I ran the update one more time and got the installation aborted error and sat at a bootloop for a few minutes... let it work... P3Droid himself said that it will abort, and it will bootloop and take some time. As I stated in the How-To, his instructions aren't very detailed and along with my own issues I decided to write the How-To...
I think I finally got this to work, thanks for the help. I was pondering if it would be better to run over the phone with my car or say I had lost it...

Problem is probably, that your phone is rooted. This is why you can not update your phone. I recommen you make factory reset and than update... But for last update don't exist a way to root yet.

ya no worries on your ENG! and yes my phone is rooted. i will try factory reset first. I was under the impression that if you instaled the new software it would automaticly remove the root, and i wouldn't have to go through all the pain of setting my phone up and doing all the back ups of everything i need. It should let me install new software, i think. But if this is the only way to get new software i will have to suck it up lol!
Factory reset isn't needed if its just root stopping your update.. Just unroot from your su app if you don't want root. Otherwise use voodoo ota root keeper and backup root and then temp unroot, restore it after the update.
Its an XT912, there is a root method for jb if voodoo fails.
I went to my SU app and I only have the option to temp unroot. How do I permanently unroot?
Depends on your su app. SuperSu has it in settings, scroll down to the cleanup section. Otherwise just temp unroot and forget about it.
If unrooting doesn't help with applying the update, which is quite likely, try the factory reset or finally go the fastboot way.
P.S. Sorry for the delayed reply
no problem, ok here is what i have done: I tried to data wipe/factory reset, and it will not restore back to factory settings, my SU and root is still there and still wont allow me to install software update.
Ouch. Have you tried factory reset from recovery?
