Hello,
I just got used Atrix from CraigList (coming from ATT Captivate). So I know about flashing ROMs etc on Samsung devices.
I performed factory reset after I got it and current version reads as Version.4.1.57.MB860.ATT.en.US.
Upon booting Atrix tells me that OTA update is available, I download it and trying to install just to find error message below
assert_failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/AccountAndSyncSettings.apk", ...... E: Error in /cache/Blur_Version4.1.57.MB860.ATT.en.US.zip. Status 7
My gold is to stay with current offical ATT ROM untill official Gingerbread updates rolls out and then modify OS.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
G
I would research in the DEV section and start over from the very beginning as far as firmwares are concerned. I got that same error when I tried to update but it was because I flashed a deodexed zip and had root.

Look for the 1.83 sbf here and just flash that. It's the same exact version you're having an issue downloading.

Thanks. What are the first 2 files. First one is pretty big, is it Full ROM?
It is the full stock 1.8.3 at&t rom
The second one is what you need to flash it
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Thanks for any help - just not sure which direction to take here.
I have googled and searched XDA and just can't get an answer to this:
I want to get back to Stock Telstra 2.2 on my Telstra MB860 and then ota to Telstra's Gingerbread just released.
Currently on CM7. On my internal card I have the folder /mnt/emmc/clockworkmod/backup/telstra_2.2_rom It contains 7 files:
.android_secure.vfat.tar
boot.img
cache.ext3.tar
data.ext3.tar
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
system.img
system.ext3.tar
I am wondering whether I should do:
1. Use CWM and restore that backup, or
2. Get the Telstra 2.2 sbf from the Atrix Firmwares Superthread and flash it it using RSD Lite, or
3. Flash the Telstra gingerbread sbf which is available on XDA, or
4. any other method.
Would really appreciate some help people of wisdom.
bump, interested as well
My Atrix came with Android 2.2.2 --- Blur_Version.4.4.35.MB860.Retail.en.GB.
The complete name of the SBF is OLYEM_U4_4.3.5_SIGNED_USAOLYPRTGB_P026_A004_M001_H Wolympus_1g_1FF.sbf.gz.
It never received a Gingerbread OTA (we are still waiting for it in Europe)
I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader. Now it has CM7 installed and another radio.
Is it possible to flash to go back to the original SBF with Froyo, or will it brick my phone? I know that the bootloader would remain unlocked.
Another question: does the SBF also include the original Radio version? (I don't remember which one it was)
Update:
My question is generating interesting interventions, so I am going to update the most interesting facts in this post.
Yes, it is possible to go back to stock SBF with Froyo after root, unlock and installation of other ROMs, even those based on Motorola Gingerbread ROMs. You just must never install an official OTA update from Motorola that brings Gingerbread to you.
@GolfCranKinstallation flow has been:
New Telstra Atrix 2.2.2 > CM7 > Telstra 2.2.2 sbf > OTA Gingerbread and no more sbf flash from now on
My installation flow has been:
Android 2.2.2 --- Blur_Version.4.4.35.MB860.Retail.en.GB. > bootloader unlock and root > Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 > Alien Rom #4 (based on AT&T official Gingerbread for Motorola Atrix 4G) > Android 2.2.2 --- Blur_Version.4.4.35.MB860.Retail.en.GB. back again. I just had to unlock and root again the device, but everything went fine.
In this post @NYG-SBXLII explains how to extract an official SBF in order to generate moto-fastboot images. This is for creating sort of fruit cakes. Additionally, he explains how to just extract the Radio firmware from a SBF.
While trying some Radios out, I noticed that by flashing a CMW Radio zip instead of a SBF file, the new radio would flash but won't be overwritten again by any other SBF file. This is probably a bug of sbf_lite. If you flash again using RSD-LITE, it will work again.
Thank you all, XDA users!
Don't quote me on this but I'm fairly certain that if you unlocked the boot loader you should stay away from .sbf'ng anything but gingerbread. Check the fruitcake thread.

There's too much confusion on this topic
Once you unlock your bootloader its not recommended to flash back using spf's. If you want to go back to froyo, use fruitcake. Its the same as the .sbf but it doesn't rollback your bootloader...which its what can lead to a hard brick.
As much as I know, it will work just fine, as long as you done flash a 2.3.4 bootloader and than revert to a 2.2.2 one.

From what I understand, a fruitcake that corresponds to my SBF does not exist. Am I right?

I never installed official OTAs. I just went from stock 2.2.2 to custom ROMS.
I installed Alien ROM one time, but I don't think that it contains the malicious 2.3.x bootloader from Motorola. Does it?
How do I now which bootloader version is installed on my phone?

Yes I found it confusing and was wary before I did it. But what you are wanting to do is in fact safe. When you flash back to Froyo using sbf the bootloader will not be unlocked anymore but it will only take a minute to reflash the small unlock pudding sbf. You will not even need to run the unlock with fastboot afterwards.
I have just done this successfully. I went New Telstra Atrix 2.2.2 > CM7 > Telstra 2.2.2 sbf > OTA Gingerbread. I understand that if I flash an sbf now I will brick the phone so it's only zips from now on
Have you got the correct sbf from Firmwares Superthread?
Hit thanks if I've helped you.

As long as you have never installed a gingerbread bootloader (other then pudding) you should be fine. However if you give me some time id be willing to make a moto-fastboot flashable alternative for you just to be safe.
Also do you have a mirror for that sbf file im trying to download it but its really slow (over 12 hours)?

The only GB bootloaders I could have installed come from Alien ROM and Cyanogenmod, if any.
Thank you very much if you build it for me!
Are you downloading this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16273531&postcount=111
Unfortunately I don't know any mirror. Is it difficult to create the moto-fastboot? If you help me I may try to do that.

It seems that you made about the same operations I would do (except the last one, we are still waiting for GB in Europe..) Thank you for the information, I will try this if @NYG-SBXLII does not manage to create the safe file

yes that is the file im trying to download but for whatever reason i cant download it it keeps stopping. do you already have the sbf? if so you can use dropbox or something like that to upload it somewhere for me.
also if you already have the file you can use Portable Sbf Tool to extract the contents of the sbf you can then get system webtop and boot from the file and use moto-fastboot to flash them. you can not flash a radio with moto-fastboot though. you would need to make a custom sbf that has just the radio.
once you extract the sbf you will need CG 56(boot), CG 57(system), CG 58(webtop). after you remove those files rename them accordingly boot, system and webtop. Move them to your fastboot folder and flash.
for the radio you will need to remove the rest of the files in the smg folder execpt for CG 5, RDL 1 and RDL 3 recompile the sbf. now you can flash it with rsd lite.

I would hit the "Thanks" button 100 times if I could. Thank you very much for the mapping of the smg files and for the radio trick!
The last question (I hope):
I once flashed the CWM radio N_01.100.00R from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15787709&postcount=1.
This worked fine. But, why can I no more flash other sbf radios? If I pick any sbf radio and sbf_flash it, the program will just tell me that everything went fine but after the reboot I always see N_01.100.00R as radio version.
This also happened with the new radio I compiled with your instructions. I know this is not related to the process you told me, because it happens with other sbf radios, too.

do you have a copy of that cwm radio you can upload for me? the download link no longer works
also can you upload just the CG 5 that you got from the sbf you made?

Of course:
The un-overwritable CWM Radio
My CG 5 smg
Please note that you could try any sbf radio after the CWM flash, even this one. It is the International sbf referenced in this post. sbf_flash will not be able to overwrite the installed CWM radio.

I notice you are referencing sbf_flash are you talking about sbf_flash for linux? If so that may be your problem. Do you have access to a windows OS? Try rsd lite for windows because I just flashed the file you gave me and then used rsd lite to flash back to my normal radio with no issues.
Finally!

It worked with RSD Lite. Maybe there is a bug with sbf_flash, it is probably not able to flash a SBF Radio over a CWM Radio.
Thank you again NYG-SBXLII. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Does anyone have this file still?
There is a link to a filesonic download of this file in the Atrix Firmwares Superthread, but filesonic is defunct now and so that download is no longer available.
The filename is:
1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-20-release-keys-signed-Telstra-AU.sbf.gz
If anyone has this file still, it would save my atrix if you could upload it to a service where its able to be dloaded from.
Thanks in advance.
Sourced: Daywalker04 was kind enough to PM me the updated link

Could you put the file somewhere else, filesonic no longer supports downloading...
sorry for bumping an old thread, taking my phone back to repairs I'm in very desparate need of this file. Tried updating through motorola website but phone won't connect to software update
Flashed pudding as a mistake trying to unlock to bootloader on my Photon
and now I can't get back on Photon stock. I made previously backup and with
bootsrap able to get it to work but no WiFi.
Flashed all available sbf files but all fail, I know drivers are good because the only thing I can flash is uscellular sbf 2.3.5 and that works but sucks cuz none of the dial codes work. So what if I flashed wrong file why there is no stock sbf file and stable and intelligent RDSLite that can flash and recover the phone, is not like is totaly bricked but semi. Still able to root and bootstrap with torpedo but need Sprint original stuff back if anyone knows how please share.
Uhhhhtttt Ohhhhh.... Somebody's In Trouble....
Sorry, wish I could help...
