I am new to all of this and was wondering how I go back to stock after I have rooted and installed a custom ROM? I have seen things thrown around like sbf and rsd but have no idea what those mean. Can someone help me? I just want to go back to stock and update to 1.8.3 and then decide if I want to install a custom ROM later.

I am stock, locked, s-on, and rooted with zedomax one click so i could use wifi teather and titanium backup. How can I apply the ota and still keep root? If that's not possible what do you recommend?
Are u using a custom Rom? If you are then wait for one of the Rom developers to incorporate the latest ota.

Noob here don't know how. I thought I couldn't flash any Roms with zedomax one click root method and locked s on. Detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Can someone be straight up with me and tell me why no one has answered my question?
no one will give you a straight answer because what you want to do is kinda not recommended on any device.
general rule of thumb is not to ota after root. so what you should do is get s-off using lazypanda which allows for flashing of custom roms and such and follow my guide that is in my signature to make sure that it goes smoothly (but ignore the part of flashing fresh rom, you can do it on stock with just root) then once you achieve s-off you can either stay stock and wait for a rooted version of the newest update for you to flash through twrp or you can flash any other rom (i run flex 360's rom, i find it the smoothest rom ive tried) and then just flash the radios from the newest update which will give you all of the 3g improvements (which is basically all you need, you can flash roms based off of the newest update at a later time)
if you need any further help feel free to pm me at any time and i will help you out
edit: also, after re-reading your original post, there is no way to keep root after ota so if you accept it you will have to wait for another root exploit which may take a while.
Can you give us new guys a step by step instructions for installing the new ota update> I have stock rom phone rooted with TWRP. Do we need to do a factory reset and clear the Cache, Dalvic Cache and System or can we just install the Odexed zip?
He can't flash a Rom guys, he can't get a custom recovery.
Op, get s-off first and the. Get your recovery and flash a romt

Yes, you could do that. But why? Just flash the full, rooted stock ROM.
Ok so I am new at root on this phone. I have root with s-off and stock rom. Can some one post steps for us new guys to the new ota that is out using "Stock Rooted Odexed 1.22.651.3"? Stock rom is odexed correct?
Also should we wipe the Cache, Dalvic, Cache and system?
Do we need to do a factory reset?

Ok. I rooted my atrix before 4.5.145 released. Having rooted its not possible install that OTA(it went into boot loop when tried installing OTA on a rooted device) update. So decided to go back to stock ROM. One solution i found was flashing original .sbf using rsd lite. But it is not recommended to flash .sbf it might brick the device. My case i just flashed the .sbf. It went well i was uprooted after the flash and was able to install 4.5.145. Now i am again rooted and unlocked.
Edit: Other method if you have backed up your stock rom before flashing custom rom i guess you can returned to the backed up stock rom any time using recovery managers(CWM).

Hi devs,
I had KitKat from here: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535920) installed in stock slot using Safestrap 3.71. Unfortunately I accidentally uninstalled the recovery from Safestrap and now the phone won't start up. Flashing from stock recovery fails. What are my options experts? How can I revive my phone? Kindly link me to resources and guide me through this. I'm lost.

Is it possible to flash back to ICS from 4.4 over the stock slot? Do I need to flash using Fastboot or SBF? Does it have to be stock, 'coz I'm not sure if I'll even find a fastboot for a 4.4 stock.
Could you detail a bit on exactly which version of android should I flash with? That'd be of great help..
Thanks.

No, you can't go back to ICS. Your firmware flash will be official OEM Motorola firmware, so it will be Jelly Bean and why RSD lite is required. You will need the correct firmware for your region or carrier, or it won't complete the flash. read/watch tutorials first if you haven't used RSD before. Your 4.4 was a custom ROM. So there aren't any firmware flashes for it. After you have flashed with RSD and the firmware you will be bonestock, unrooted JB. From there root again, reinstall your recovery etc. etc.
Hit thanks if I helped.

Hi Draxin,
Thank you for the suggestion. About the OEM firmware, mine's an Asia Retail version of Razr. We never had an official firmware beyond ICS. So what do you suggest? Will deleting the CID and then flashing with a JB EU work?

If you didn't delete the CID to swap firmwares before to get CM11, I wouldn't start now. Most xt910 firmwares now are JB, and once you are on the motorola JB kernel you can't go back to ICS, which was why I said that. If you weren't on a official JB before then that doesn't apply to you.
I would flash the official Firmware for your device, and yes you will have to put your device into apfastboot for RSD lite.

I used RSD lite 5.7 and sbf file of 2.3.6 Movistar America and flashed my Atrix 4g.
And got my Atrix back in work.
Now where I can get sbf file of ICS or Jellybean so that I can flash again and upgrade my Atrix.
I know that Motorola has not provided official update but still I want to take chance.
Previously I have installed CM7 and CM10.1 but I didn't like it and also the phone is rebooting constantly.

Congrats! Now you are on the most up to date sbf. There is no ICS or JB sbf file. There is, however, an unofficial official ICS release (AtrICS v2.0), CM9 (4.0.4), CM10 (4.1.2), and CM10.1 (4.2.2) ROMs available to flash via CWM.

Atrix 4G and Atrix 2 are not compatible. Some of their theme packages from the themes section may be compatible, but as far as ROMs go, its a no
