Has anyone with a sim-unlocked Atrix upgraded to 1.83 yet? If so, were there any issues? I recall some people with unlocked atrix had problems with their wifi after upgrading to 1.57, so i'm quite worried something like that might happen again.
I can confirm there is no problem after updating to 1.83.I have my phone rooted wifi works fine.everything right now works perfect

Everything is fine
I am sim-unlocked and on T-mobile and everything works fine on 1.83. Just flash the SBF file through RSD Lite and you're golden. I'm on stock motoBLUR by the way.
Just for another hat in the ring- Telstra user with at&t phone running 1.8.3 with root on sim unlocked phone and no issues. I guess its just irony I can't use the Telstra firnware on ny phone- lol.

I don't think you are going to have any issue,but if you need root i think you should try first to root 1.57 and then update through rsd lite.
Thank you for the info. I am downloading the sbf. Will update this thread when i update to 1.83.
Thanks again guys for this wonderful forums!!

Im rooted using glad root. I have gladiatrix installed. What should I do before updating. Im on 1.5.7 right now.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I'm not entirely certain, but I believe that you'll have to reflash an SBF (1.2.6 or 1.5.7). From what I've read, the update checks for deodex and simply won't go through if you have it. (Which GingerBlur, GreyBlur, and GladiAtrix all have)
Of course this is assuming you're referring to updating to the next firmware.
Ya I am. I didn't sign up for the beta but this morning I had a message to download the update. I downloaded it but have yet to install. I wanted to know what to do first.

Yea but if you're rooted with 1.5.7 do you just run Gladatrix to preserve root then update then run afterupdate again?
I reflashed to 1.26. Before update. Update to 1.5.7. After upadte. Updated to 1.8 whatever it is. Then after update. I just haven't put a rom on yet. I think im gonna wait to see if something ia updated soon by devs

U have Ian debugging enabled? After 1.8 update I had to reenable it

Ive been really looking foreward to this new gingerbread update. I have a rooted atrix and i have been unsuccessful with this update i tried the ota update as well as the update from the computer.
It starts to update after the reboot, but then it stops and the triangle with the exclamation mark appears.

You cannot update if you are rooted. You can only update if you are running stock 2.2.2. It might be possible to update with your current setup if you do it through Motorola Software Update manager. Try it.
Otherwise you need to flash back to stock before OTA. Do you have an unlocked bootloader?
Is there an easy way to flash back to froyo? I called motorola and they told me i have to send my phone to them so they can put the update on it. I was going to use the glad enabler or something like that to unlock that but i never did.

Try the 2.3.4 fruitcake. Never call Motorola about your rooted phone...that what the community is here for.

I didnt tell them that i rooted my phone i just told them that i couldnt update it. What is that fruitcake? And also what is sbf? Sorry i just dont want to jump into something without knowing what im really getting into.

so recently i rooted my phone and installed gingerblur onto it and absolutley hated it, so i used sbf flash to flash stock tmobile uk firmware back onto the phone then did a factory reset to get everything back to stock...
what i want to know is can i do an ota update or install an official update from motorola website using there updater tool, without it bricking my phone?
thanks
Yes the brick is related to unlocking and using sbfs

okay thank you marko, are you sure theres no other well known problems i will encounter if i do an official update?
Nothing that can't be fixed with an SBF
sent from my Atrix via XDA premium
okay thanks man
Is it possible without hard bricking the phone? The upgrade is causing WAY more trouble than it's worth and a lot happier running roms. Thanks.

Got another question but not gonna make a new post, can you use the auto boot unlocker to unlock/root 4.5.141? It's only updated to .91

Was your bootloader previously unlocked?

I can at least keep this alive and going. Mine was previously unlocked, and, once the update applied, which did it overnight without my permission (HNNNGH), I lost it. What do I do now?

Yes /10 char
I think you will find that you just lost the unlock graphic; unlocking involves burning out one of the eFuses, so you can't relock.
Hi everone
Im using a rooted, BT UL Atrix 4G with 2.3.6 4.5.191. and Im wondering if this is possible to perform this downgrade or/to 2.3.4
I want to do that becouse my GPS takes a lot to get a fix and I had no luck with other methods like: changing gpsconfig, recalibrating compass, using different radios
Thanks
Downgrading to 2.3.4 IS POSSIBLE provided you have previously unlocked your bootloader AND you have a backup of 2.3.4 through CWM.
This is treacherous territory, and I'm not sure if there's been resolution on whether or not it's safe.
Your safest bet? Fruit cake it back to 4.5.91.
Is it possible to downgrade using RSD if the bootloader was never unlocked?

Don't do it. You will get failed to boot 2.

No that would brick it and you would be screwed. We already saw this issue when people tried to go backwards from GB to Froyo...

I have used the automatic bootloader unlock for 4.5.141 but I may be just lucky
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Yeah it is working fine on 4.5.141 ... Unlocked and Rooted, running Neutrino 2.8 GT
But the phone is heating up even @ 1 GHz. (no undervolt)
So was curious if flashing the ROM over 4.5.91 will help or not.
- Is it not possible to downgrade even using Nottach's method? Flashing the 4.5.91 images directly from fastboot and not bothering with RSD ?
NVM...

So is it feasible?
Downgraded successfully by flashing the separate partition using moto-fastboot.

Hey everyone
A friend of mine played around with my Atrix 4g (unlocked from AT&T) and I think he may have accepted the OTA update, because now my phone will boot up fine - just as normal - but then when it has been on for 20-40 seconds at the homescreens, it just says "powering off" and it powers off as if I had shut it down normally. When it's shut down it automaticly tries to start again, and the whole thing starts over!
I'm not very good at stuff like this so if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it, so I can get off my horrible old Nokia back-up phone
First of all was your ATRIX rooted and had a custom rom installed?

Yes the Atrix was rooted but I never a custom rom installed.
Your best bet is to either flash sbf to 2.3.4 stock using RSD LITE, or factory reset it before it turns off on u again.

Well since it always manages to shut me down before I can reach the reset-"switch" I guess that leaves me one option
Sbf it is. But before I post link to all downloads an post steps I need to know what version u have currently on your ATRIX right now.

Www.das8nt.com/downloads.html if u have at&t it will be second green box. Click on 4.5.91(2.3.4) service SBF(stock)
Then go to first green box and click on RSD Lite 5.6. (MUST HAVE DRIVERS INSTALLED)
sent from "ATRIX-BEAST" using voice commands.
That seems to have done the trick! The phone now boots up normally, and all the At&t crap is back
How should I update my phone to the newest version? It's now running android 2.3.6 with the system version being 4.5.141
Thanks for all your help!
Your ATRIX is now 2.3.6 u see it worked. Now what ever u do do not downgrade back to 2.3.4 or even re-flash the 2.3.6 it will just brick your ATRIX. Now if u want to root it u would have to look if there's even a root method for 2.3.6.
