So, yesterday, I attempted to flash an sbf to return back to stock from GingerBlur. I downloaded the 1.2.6, the 1.5.2 and the 1.8.3 files and I've tried flashing all of them.
The problem: After flashing the sbf file(everything went fine with RSDLite), my phone no longer breaks out of Edge and I can't use Gingerbreak to root the device.
I'm not sure as to what the issue is. Like I said, I tried flashing 1.2.6, 1.5.2 and 1.8.3, but none of those made any difference as far as connectivity or the rooting process is concerned. When I run Gingerbreak.exe, the Gingerbreak app never appears in the drawer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Edit: GladRoot resolved the rooting issue, but I'm still only connecting via Edge rather than HSDPA.
Bumpin it up up up

I'll go outside XDA but it's a great "How to" guide. I'd say first flash the 1.2.6 SBF and then do the OTA updates up to 1.8.3.
http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/mo...erything-up-date-atrix-thanks-d3athsd00r.html
I'll have to check it out and see. Previously when I flashed the 1.2.6 sbf, I tried to OTA for updating and all it found was the 1.5.7. Am I using an incompatible sbf file or something?

Not necessarily, follow the guide though as it has all the correct files. Once you do the first update & install it make sure to go in & manually check for updates, it will find the 1.8.3 then.
Any idea as to whether this would resolve the connectivity issue of only using Edge or would that be related to like a radio or something?
might go to settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks and check out select network. Make sure it is on 3g or auto...maybe

You should check that the proper APN's for your network are saved; can't help you with that though, you need to search the forums here..
P.S. Did you go into the phone info screen & change the "Preferred network type" to "GSM only"..?
I've looked at the APNs. HSPA looks to be pretty much empty other than the word phone and a few other miscellaneous settings. I'll try to flash that sbf file over lunch assuming I have time to download it.
I haven't checked in regards to the GSM setting though. I'll take a look at that.
Any ideas as to why Gingerbreak.exe isn't having any effect whatsoever? I have USB Debugging enabled and I've gone through the steps that I previously used. I haven't tried to push it to the device via adb, but I'm not sure as to why Gingerbreak.exe isn't working this time when it worked previously.
So, another issue I've run into is that when I tried to push the gingerbreak.apk file to the phone via adb it fails to connect to the phone. RSDLite has no issues with flashing sbf files, but adb just doesn't want anything to do with my phone.
You remount the SD card? or put it in mass storage mode?
So, I've gotten the device rooted thanks to some help from Ririal and GladRoot, but I'm still stuck with only Edge connectivity. I'm not sure what the issue is. I haven't really been able to find anything concrete in regards to APN information and thusfar nothing seems to be making any difference.
Hi,
Firstly, I am a noob when it comes to "messing" with Android (Rom, root, etc.)
My Atirx is running Android 2.2.1, system version 4.1.26
It's from AT&T US, unlocked and rooted.
I got a system message to update to 4.1.57
At some point it just downloaded the update for me and now keeps asking me to install.
I will install of course but before that, I have a few questions:
1) Will it unroot the phone?
2) Will it re-lock the phone?
3) Will I then get the 1.83 update?
If I can simply click "Install" and everything will be alright - great. if not, what do I need to do?
Thanks!
It will unroot your phone you will not lose unlock and yes you will be prompted for 1.83. Now if you want to retain root you need to root using gladroot and do not run "afterupdate.bat" until you have updated all the way to 1.83. hope that helps
But thats just my 2 cents
Sent from my Atrix
Another option is to just let it update normally then run gingerbreak. It will re-root the phone and install SU. The above method will work just the same, and both require about the same amount of time and effort.
Also with gingerbreak a lot of users have reported complete wipe of their phone after using it. So if gingerbreak is the route you take make sure to backup everything.
But thats just my 2 cents

To clarify, Gingerbreak does not wipe the phone, it wipes the internal SDCard.
I would update OTA to 4.1.83, then Gingerbreak for root, then Gladenable for sideloading, and install Tenfars CWM.
lost
ok, now you really lost me
is there somewhere I can find a "for dummies" guide on how to get my phone to 1.83 with all my data + keeping it rooted and unlocked, along with download links to whichever tools I will need?
Thanks!
There is. Will post link when I get home unless someone else does first.
Beamed in from WinBorg 4G via XDA Premium app
Atrix Rooting & Flashing Guide
Gingerbreak
Gladenabler
Nothing simpler?
Now that seems scary.
I want to keep the phone without custom ROMs for now
Can't I just use the auto system updates to get up to 1.83 and then root with SOC or GladRoot?
Thanks, and sorry for being difficult. I just REALLY dont wanna mess up the phone

You sure can.
OTA to 4.1.83, then use Gingerbreak to root.
Alternatively, if you want to use Gladroot so you don't wipe your internal SDCard, (which you can back up anyway by copy/paste everything on your internal SDCard to your PC, then just copy/paste it all back after), then you will have to start the Gladroot process before updating to 4.1.83 per the instructions.
DO NOT use SuperOneClick..............it doesn't work with 4.1.57 or 4.1.83.
OK, I have downloaded GingerBreak from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Now this might sound stupid, but is this system update for Gingerbread?
Do I need to download drivers for the device?
One last thing, what should I use to backup and restore my data? (and will it also backup apps, games, etc.)
Phone is updated and not rooted
OK, funny story.
I set an alaram clock for this morning and when I woke up and tapped the phone for snooze, I tapped "Install Now" on the new version pop-up...
So I updated all the way to 1.83 and now my phone is not rooted and I cannot use Backup Root.
Back to my previous questions, how should I backup my data, applications and applications data?
Do I need any special drivers etc in order to use GingerBreak?
Oh, and SuperUser is installed. Should I uninstall it first?
The phone is not GingerBread. Is it still ok to run GingerBreak?
Thanks

Look at the bottom of the OP from my Gingerbreak link. There is a link to a Gingerbreak.exe which you run on your computer while your phone is connected wuth USB Debugging On. This will install Gingerbreak on your phone and you will see it in your application list from where you can run the app and get root.
We do not have Gingerbread yet. We are still on Froyo.
Download Motohelper from Motorola and all the required drivers should install when you connect your phone to your PC after that.
Backup your internal sdcard using copy/paste, then copy and paste everything back after you use Gingerbreak.
EDIT: Ok ive attempted again to have RSD read my phone, but this time from fastboot(i did not read this anywhere so i didnt know) but it still says its failing, even tho its connected. Any Help?
In constant searching, I have yet to really find an answer..If you know where I can go PLEASE just post the link and dont be a jerk. Phone was rooted with GingerBreak I used GladEnable to enable sideloading and the tethering APN. However I unrooted using the same method in attempts to avoid and troubles. It was nearly fully charged(90s). No other mods.
Afterwards:
-Ive tried to OTA update, and that failed
-Planned on trying to flash through RSD Lite 5.3.1, but it doesnt read my phone. My computer does just fine, but RSD doesnt display my phones info. I had the USB set to "None".
All I realy want to do is just root it after stock GB is on it. I dont really care/mind the BL unlocked or things like that. Id preferably install it through the computer because my WIFI at home is abysmal to say the least, so if anyone has the stock file, point me there and tell how best to install it. Please and thanks.
HEAD TO DROID X2 GENERAL TO MY THREAD THERE IS A LITTLE BIT MORE INFO ALL ON THIS!!!!![/B]Droid X2 owners i have figured out how to root the new 2.3.5/1.3.418 update. I spent a couple hours trying to get this figured out. Its simple and very easy to do well may not be for some but here you go just follow these simple steps and all that trouble that everybody is having.... here is the solution! First off do a hard reset from phones setting under privacy make sure to copy and paste pictures, music etc. to your computer cause you will have to check internal storage to be deleted for this to work ..after the reset u are going to sbf back to original 2.3.4 with (RSD Lite) Remember it has to be done in this order just take my word for it ...when finished.. phone will reboot let all factory apps download and install including gmail,
vz navigator, google books etc. You will not have to keep these apps you just have to let them install for this update after you sbf 2.3.4 and back to original. When your done with sbf file... Get (Petes Motorola RootTools_v1.07.zip) no other rooting methods worked ive tryed it.. type that into google search it should find his site.. and make sure to download (Windows Universal drivers) for computer depending on what you have 32 bit operating system or 64 bit.. both of these files can be found on petes site. After downloading drivers and zip file..... unzip petes zip and click on (petes motorola root tools). I had one issue with this when trying to root device i had to put phone into pc mode for some reason. And if still having issues try running the adb temp rooting procedure this seems to work everytime. Run rooting method till done then u should be rooted after this is done dont mess with SU leave it as is for now.... Now you are going to want to head to the the google market on your phone and type (ota rootkeeper) and download that app. After this is done you can go to that app and and press protect root it should say something like su safe or something like that at the bottom. Now when u are sure u have all these done correctly go to your phone settings and go to about phone and press on system update and download and install update to your phone. It will reboot and and install update after this is done let phone load back up and do what it needs to do. Now go back to google market and install ota rootkeeper again and you should get only one option and that is to restore root.. press that and there you have it. Now you can update SU and remove unwanted apps. Do whatever you please. This update has caused so many droid x2 owners to get very ticked off but luckily i found the solution to all the problems. If anybody is having any issues trying to get this done leave posts and messages i will help you out as much as i can. This process went really smooth you should have no issues at all. And if ur wondering about 2.3.5 it is deff. snappier with and even more snappier with bloatware apps removed. Install the droid X2 bootstrap manager just like u always would. HAVE FUN ROOTING>

zergrush does not work!! To all that that wondering why it dosent work it changes something in the build prop or local prop not sure but it does not work for rooting 2.3.5. And also.. For some people they may not have to do a internal factory reset, in my case i did for what reason.. i dont know. Every time i tryed installing OTA update it failed. For the people getting this error you will most likely have to reset your device and follow my instructions. PLEASE READ MY INSTRUCTIONS first before making any changes if u dont want to lose root lose saved music , apps etc.... Remember internal factory reset erases everything in internal memory. Move your things you want to save to ur sdcard
Thanks mnkurk! Saved me a lot of time - work right the first time and allowed me to fully restore my setup from titanium (with backup folder on the sd card).
Using voodoo root keeper to root 2.3.5 update has been known since the update came out.
zerg rush cant be used for a number of reasons,.some people might be able to get away with it, but a lot of times it will cause the 2.3.5 update tofail the signature check , it removes/changed files on system besides just su, to make room for root.

If you can get/have the 2.3.3 file, just flash that...then take the ota once and you will be on 2.3.4
should I root 2.3.3-> ota 2.3.4-> ota 2.3.5
or Flash 2.3.3-> ota 2.3.4 then Root-> ota 2.3.5
What is the benefit of going as far back as 2.3.3?

Root .4
Then root keeper app
Then ota .5 and restore root with root keeper app
If going to flash a ROM after that, after you restore root, delete the su backup using the root keeper app before you flash the ROM or the rom flash will fail on ya

I don't know of there is any KNOWN benefit
But i know that before when i had a bunch of battery issues and other things acting weird, i went ALL THE WAY to froyo, then rode all the ota's back to 2.3.4 and things seemed better for me.
Take with a grain of salt tho, i never did any "official" testing on it., just know it fixed weird issues i had with device not sleeping properly.
i was just suggesting it cause it it's easier than having to find and then wait for 2.3.4 sbf file to download If you already had the 2.3.3 file
So, now there is a gray triangle in the top right (which apparently stands for roaming) I checked my phone status and it reads
Network: Unknown
My Phone Number: 000-000-7729
I went against your advice because I already had 2.3.4, but that shouldn't have caused this, right?
few options
reboot
wipe data or just cache in android recovery
dial *228
turn on airplane mode or turn on wifi then turn off, reboot
all SBF or here ezSBF/ RSD lite/ SBF/ drivers by 1KDS or here
Droid SBF files http://sbf.droid-developers.org/
edit: some people with issues, have reported had to wipe data before and after, and even flashing SBF twice, before getting it fixed
but the options I listed first usually fix network connection errors
not listed in any order, just as they popped in my head
As stated above
Just dial *228
Should fix that
it gives you two options i believe.
Do both if first doesn't fix it
Thanks so much! If i could thank you more than once I would!
I had to leave for work and I was so bummed out my phone wasn't getting service.
All I had to do was activate it
2.3.5 (Still wish it was ICS) and rooted!
Thanks again!
The above instructions worked for me without factory resetting my phone and
without wiping any of my data my phone is now rerooted with the OTA Update 1.3.418.
1. DO NOT factory reset your phone or wipe your data.
2. Re-flash your DroidX2 with RSDlite using the original sbf file.
RSDlite:

My original flash file here:

3. Re-activate your phone with *228.
4. Using Pete’s Motorola RootTools_v1.07.zip run Pete's Motorola Root Tools.exe.
Wait for Pete’s root tool to finish.
5. Now that you are rooted again, run ota rootkeeper, press protect root.
6. Go to your phone settings, About Phone and click on system update and
download and install the OTA update 1.3.418 to your phone.
7. After the phone reboots, run the ota rootkeeper and restore root.

Rooted 2.3.4 to rooted 2.3.5
I'm on 2.3.4, rooted. I have downloaded but not installed 2.3.5. I previously froze, but didn't delete bloatware using Titanium.
Do you think I can just install rootkeeper, defrost bloatware, then install 2.3.5 & keep root?
I'm kind of an idiot trying to keep it simple.
Thanks in advance,
George
Success!!! This worked nicely. It just took a long time to defrost the bloatware, then freeze even more bloat when it was re-rooted as there was so much on there.
OTA Rootkeeper is a thing of beauty, it's fast & noob-proof. Thanks for that!
