[Q] Different SPF to AT&T branded Atrix? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I'm *quite* frustrated, I bought AT&T branded Atrix but I did not realize it was so restricted (cannot select network type GPRS/EDGE/3G, as non AT&T customer I cannot wifi-tether with built-in software, I have always roaming SIM but I cannot enable roaming etc).
I have RDS lite and 4.1.26 and 4.1.57 SPF files and can change between versions.
But I wonder, can I at some point in the future install some other SPF file (non AT&T) to the Atrix?
For example, if unlocked carrier free Atrix is released and SPF for that is available, can I install that to the AT&T Atrix or is the bootloader/other components tied only to AT&T version?

[Q] Can't SIM Unlock my Atrix

Hi guys, hoping someone can come up with something.
I've got a Korean Atrix MB861
S/W version: 4.5.2A-KT-167
Android version 2.3.5
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-00004-gfbc746e
I'm trying to network sim unlock it with no luck whatsoever.
I've got the unlock code, and when I place in my new sim (Telus Canada) nothing happens. The phone boots and does the standard Moto splash screen, then Olleh splash (Korean carrier), then right to the login screen. It doesn't ask for the sim unlock code.
Once it's fully booted, it just says no service and emergency calls only, even with the new sim.
I've also tried using #073887* and while it asks to enter the pin, it instantly goes to an unsuccessful screen.
I've also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1263871.html and attempted to try Amilkh's solution of flashing the brazil radio, but all my attempts to flash have failed.
My phone in RSD Lite comes up as "SE Flash Olympus" and not "NS Flash Olympus", not sure if that is an issue or not. The flash doesn't complete.
Now I'm just stumped. I don't know what to do. I seemingly have everything I need, but I can't get it to unlock.
all olleh kt android phones are automatically sim unlock... i have no problem using it in Philippines with there sim cards....maybe you need to try to flash a different radio for canada ... i know i got the"no service and emergency calls only" when i flashed all other radios... the only radio that would work in korea was the original radio.
Help, how to unlock

so to heart of problem
i flashed radio:N_01.77.36P
and it wont boot it just loops on "Motorola:dual core" screen
but when i flash France radio N_01.100.00R_France voila it works like charm
MB861 from korea fyi
so my question is:
can i use N_01.100.00R_France on AT&T's network
why won't N_01.77.36P work with my Atrix
AND will it work on T-mobile w/o carrier unlock (expecting no for this one)

[Q] Motorola RAZR V XT885 unable to find out how to get a ROM on this phone

Well met.
I am hoping that I can find some answers here on how to get a custom ROM on this phone.
It is a Motorola RAZR V XT885 purchased from Bell Mobility (GSM) in Canada. It is carrier unlocked. (img 1) shows all the info on the "about phone" screen. It looks and has the same stats as the MT887 and the generic Motorola RAZR V Canada
It has already been rooted successfully. I have a backup in case something goes wrong. I tried installing SafeStrap 3 but from Hash-of-Codes email to me, it does not work with my Razr. Fortunately it did not brick my phone.
I am not adverse to trying BootStrap or similar if it will give me the results I want. Again I run into the issues of finding instruction for the family of phones but none for my model in particular.
The problem I am running into is that most of the info on this phone or those in its family are for CDMA phones and if I am understanding correctly, if I use any of those roms/basebands/updates, they will brick my phone although the rooting procedures are the same. I need more than root as I see no point unless I want to take off some bloatware.
So here is what I am looking for:
(1) A way to install a recovery on the phone. Once I get past this hurdle, I think I can navigate my way through getting a rom on it.
(2) I am hoping to update the radio on it as it keeps putting my Wind Mobile into away mode. There was an update with version number 6.16.215 for the Droid Razr/Razr Maxx. and I do not know if it would work on my phone because it looks like it is only for CMDA version.
Here is some base info on the phone:
GSM frequencies :
850 900 1800 1900
Standard UMTS :
850 900 1900 2100
xHTML
WAP v2.0
HSCSD
HSDPA 14,40 Mbit/s
HSUPA 5,76 Mbit/s
HSPA
HSPA+
Thank you in advance for any help/direction given to help me with this phone.
How to root? And did you find custom ROM?
I also have the exact same phone, XT885 (got it off of Kijiji). Unfortunately, it keeps saying "Obtaining IP address..." when I try to connect to WiFi. Did some research, and found there's something wrong when I tried to hard reset. It is something called "Dead Android Red Triangle (DART)" but exactly sure what that means. So here's what I would like help with:
How can I get rid of the "Dead Android Red Triangle (DART)"? Is it possible?
Is there any possibility to somehow connect to WiFi, if I can't get rid of DART?
How can I root the phone to remove the bloatware?
And what custom ROM did you install, or still searching for it? I can't seem to find much data on XT885.
And last but not the least, is it OK to download apk files of paid apps from internet, and install them on an Android smartphone? I assume Google can easily determine the legitimate apps on my devices as I have signed into my Google account which shows what apps I have bought. The XT885 came with numerous pre-installed premium apps, and when connected to my laptop I see I can save these apk files for future use.
Just want to know if it is OK to do so.
Thanks in advance for all your help

[Q] no data connection after unlocking

I rooted and unlocked my t-mobile samsung vibrant, to use with another carrier in brazil, but I don't have the data connection option now. what should i do?

PLEASE HELP!! Carrier Switch or Just Flash Carrier Rom?

I have a T-Mobile version of Note 8 purchased from Samsung. T-Mobile unlocked it for me since it was purchased in full and I used it on Verizon with no issues (even received ota updates). My current setup shows SPR/SPR/TMB. I am currently on bootloader v4 and I am not rooted.
AP:N950USQU4CRF3
CP: N950USQU4CRF3
CSC: N950UOYN4CRF3
I am trying to have the latest Note 8 sprint firmware (N950USQS4CRE1).
Current Problems I hope to solve: VoLte does not work, keep getting random MMS error 225, internet super slow although I just got the service and on unlimited plan. Internet is slow in multiple zip codes despite them saying 4g LTE is covered in those zip codes.
What files would I need/Where would I go to get them?
Do I need to "carrier switch?" If so, I don't see any v4 files and after searching the thread I am still at a loss. Any help is appreciated.
