This is my 2nd post now. Didnt get any answers on my other one. So this is the deal, i got my phone on factory .26 and used gladroot to get to .52 with my root.
Everything has been find now the new update came out .83. I try to dl and install it from my phone and it reboots on install and the green android guy and an explamation point pop up. I have to restart after that and the phone is back to normal but with no update.
Can i have detailed instructions on how to update and get the root again?
Do i have to flash? and how do i go about doing that? please give me insight. THanks

umm its normal for it to show the android guy with the ! with int he triangle. jsut let it install and get root again with ginger break. let it finish do not interrupt it while it is updating. let it reboot by it self.
There are numerous threads in development that tell you how to flash to the 1.57 sbf file. Then I went to the motorola website and did the update to 1.83 from there.

That's weird. Careful you get the right version of PB00IMG. The one at the top of that thread is leak v1, not leak v3. Anyway, if you're still having trouble un-rooting, you might have to do it the old-fashioned way: un-root to 1.5 following the original "downgrade" instructions, and then upgrade to 2.1 by putting the OTA zip (renamed to update.zip) onto your SD card.
Yeah I may do that. I'm using the "patched version."

That's v1. Don't do that. I can't find v3 here on XDA, so search android forums for it instead. I'm pretty sure it's on the first or second page because there have been recent references to it.

troubles
I've got to send mine back it is getting hot and it doesnt want to wake up when i hit the power button. I need to unroot. I will try what ive read here. But I am a novice any recommendations.
Hey guys/gals
i just tried updating with the OTA update and i ran the retain root v2 while doing it and followed all the steps listed on it. i pressed install on the phone. the phone rebooted but now it has been stuck on a screen with a droid on it and a triangle with a "!" inside of it? am i bricked? any way of fixing this?
Please help and thanks in advanced.
i think thats the recovery screen, try tapping the screen right above the search button.
well it was sitting there for about 30 mins not doing anything so i decided to do a batt pull...its up and running again but not updated. still rooted.

^ yes do this, It will tell you where the update is hanging up and give you the option to reboot. Wish I would have known that when it happened to me the first couple times. Would have saved me a few battery pulls.
Anyway the update is probably hung up from a mod (webtop perhaps?). Undo whatever mods you have and run the update again. If all else fails you could flash the 4.1.26 sbf then update.
Firstly tried the new update, and it wouldnt install, clicked the update now button after download, the phone instantly rebooted. Then got to the dell logo and just stuck there, was there for about half hour so took battery out and rebooted. Phone worked fine. So thought it might be that the phone was footed so backed up and did a factory reset, update still did the same. Anyway now ive restored all my stuff back onto normal 2.2 stock. My contacts from sim wont import, it finds them then I click import all it does the bar progression thing, but when it finishes it, they dont show up.
Anyone got any ideas?
Also on why the update wont take?
Cheers for the help

REGREATED ROOTING EVER SINCE
Any way to fix it its simply the phone keeps rebooting with a red light blinking and the M sign dual core stuck
Ive tried 2 methods but they didnt work!! :'(
Rsd method
and the abd method i didnt fully understand because im still nubbish
sbf should fix this, after flash is complete if it still bootloops your probably using a service sbf so will need to enter android recovery and manually clear data etc. to do this hold volume down while turning on device, then keep pressing it till it says android recovery, press volume up, then you have to tap the bottom right corner to show the options when the android logo appears
Hi all I am in the same boat I followed the briefmobile instructions http://briefmobile.com/download-android-2-3-4-gingerbread-for-motorola-atrix-4g
Tried the Android recovery deleting cash and installing from SD but I keep getting failed authentication (or something like that)
Can anybody help or post a topic that can lead me in the right direction

yes you will still get ota updates
i wouldnt recommend you trying the gingerbread stuff without doing A LOT of reading first, id just wait for it to arrive ota personally rather than risk messing your phone up again
What I don't get is that people edit random things and break their phones. Why did you change the permissions?

There are many other posts on this. However, I will try to help. At what point does it get to before it errors out? Is it at the Android guy with progress bar then an exclamation mark, a reboot, and then message saying it failed? Please give more info.
Yup it starts out with the open box ti show peogress and then goes to exclamation mark, reboots say update failed, i am rooted trying to go to 4.3.6 build 198_6 from 4.3.5 build 198_5

Ok...most likely it is failing the MD5 check. Have you removed any apps? When it gets to the Android guy and progress bar hold down both volume buttons at same time and it will tell you what is causing the issue. If it shows an apk in the error than it either can't find or verify the app. Post back to get more help if needed.
The webtop hdmi hack breaks the upgrade. If you've done that move the original .apk and .odex files back and it will upgrade.
Been there, had it happen to me.

I'm on 4.2.7 locked and unrooted. (4.2.7 OTA unrooted me, and haven't bothered to root again).
I get the same "up to date" message. With past OTA's, it takes a few days sometime before you can manually find and do it. Don't worry.
