[Q] AT&T vs Bell hardware - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I ordered via AmazonWireless's "Replacement Phone" option to get one to Australia and received is about 1.5 months ago and its been okay so far.
I'm on Telstra (Australia) which primarily uses 850MHz (UMTS/WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+).
As there has been leaked Telstra ROM, I'm wondering if there is actually anything different between the devices other than the ROM, and if so, if I can flash the SBF from the Telstra/Bell devices onto my Atrix without causing issues.

After reading some of these threads it seems that the Telstra SBF is incompatible with the AT&T atrix. After my own experience with flashing this to the Bell Atrix, I've come to the conclusion that there seems to be an American version of the Atrix as well as an international version. This is because the Atrix can either be recognized as NS Olympus or SE Olympus through RSD Lite. Since my Atrix, as well as other who have successfully flashed theirs with the Telstra SBF have the SE version, it seems that this may be the only one compatible with the Australian firmware.
If you ordered your phone through Amazon, it is likely that you have the NS version. You can verify by downloading RSD Lite, plugging in your phone while in RSD mode and seeing what shows up on your computer.

[Q] DOs & DON'Ts (Intl vs ATT)

Hi to all,
I have bought an AT&T branded MB860 unlocked-SIM and unlocked-Bootloader. I use this phone in Europe with the CherryBlur v1.4d (shipped rooted and flashed - don't know the origins or the method used) and although I have read literally 200 pages it's been difficult just to figured out my choices in ROM selection. I feel comfortable with CherryBlur but I want to try some more. Up till now the only thing I undestand is to avoid sbf flashing especially previous stock roms, and avoid incompatible kernels and radios.
To cut a long story short:
-Should I search only for Orange France based ROMs? (Orange UK?)
-I have an international phone (because I operate it in Europe) or an ATT phone (because it was initially ATT branded)?
thanx!
If it's ATT branded it's att phone, no matter where you use it.

it's a MB860 (opposite to ME860) so can I flash alien or other ATT based ROMs and still remain operational in european networks?
it's the radio that allows your phone to operate with the local provider, not the ROM, per se. The ROMs will come with a radio, but you can flash a different radio after loading the ROM (well, obviously not every radio is gonna work on every ROM) - just search for 'radio' in the Atrix Android Development section.
I'm using the ATT Atrix in the UK on CM7, and I've had no problems!
I use my att atrix with att roms in spain. If unsure flash faux's kernel also which works in any atrix

Debranding Atrix

I recently bought atrix and i can only asume that it's from t-mobile uk(the boot logo) and my phone thinks that android 2.2.2 is the latest update -,-. How can I debrand my phone? I had galaxy S while ago and it was very easy, u just had to flash international rom with Odin but here i'm completely newbie and can't rly figure out what's what.
Also it seems that battery is kinda ****y(15min of some galaxy on fire 2 took 10% of battery), can i assume it's a rom thing? The phone was used before and I'm kinda spooked that I bought faulty phone.
Im also looking to do this with a friend's phone.
Is there anyway of force flashing the UK retail version of 2.3.5 onto a UK T-Mobile Atrix?

Updating Atrix 3G to Gingerbread Questions

Hello, I recently acquired a motorla atrix 3g (Dominican Republic), the phone is currently at android version 2.2.2 and I would like to upgrade to Gingerbread but when I try to find updates from the phone it points that the phone is up to date, this is since the carrier (Claro Dominicana) has not yet released GB for this phone. I would like to know the best method to do upgrade to GB preferably without rooting the device.

Unlock the bootloader, get a recovery, flash a rom

AT&T Lumia 920 - Flash back from Rogers GDR2 to AT&T GDR2?

Hi all,
So, following snickler's excellent instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2401226
I was able to get my AT&T Lumia 920 up and running on the Rogers official GDR2/Amber ROM with no trouble. Everything's great.
I'm curious (as I'm sure many others are) whether or not anyone has had any luck with moving from the official Rogers GDR2/Amber ROM to the official AT&T GDR2/Amber ROM that was released yesterday.
I've tried flashing the AT&T GDR2/Amber ROM directly over the Rogers ROM I'm running (using NCS), but no luck (invalid product/FFU), and I've also tried flashing back to the AT&T Pre-Portico ROM, but also no luck there (same product/FFU error).
The official Rogers GDR2/Amber ROM is still RM-820, same as AT&T.
Not a huge deal, since the Rogers ROM is great, but it would be nice to know if someone was able to find a way to get back on the AT&T ROM.
Cheers

I'm currently on the ATT Dev Rom, which is great, but was looking to go back to the ATT standard ROM, but have not been able to. My phone won't detect any available update, and NCS gives me the FFU error when trying to flash to it from the DEV ROM.
From the other threads, it was impossible to go back to an ATT standard ROM pre-amber. I got a feeling this may still be the case. I'm not sure if or what I'm missing on the DEV ROM other than some of the "official ATT" apps, but I think I can download those from the store anyways.
I do have data sense, at a glance, and most of the other amber upgrades.

I've tried multiple ways and can't go back to stock ATT. Oh well, the Rogers ROM works great with only one exception, I can't get tethering to work. It tells me there is no data connection available when I DO have data, strange.

Hello,
I have motorola photon 4g MB855 released by sprint . When i bought phone it was working fine with android 2.3.5. i tried updating it to newer version by using a post at xda forum but the upgrade trick didnot worked and phone become dead.
