I need some help with my android device
I have a motorola Atrix
i rooted it and installed gingerblur 7.7 on it
I then did a factory reset and tried to delete everything off the device but it is still on there and it deleted all the APNS and VPNS
so now i have no internet except through wifi
I tried unrooting it with a uninstaller batch that was included with gingerblur 7.7 when i goto launch it it says unable to find device.
How do i go about restoring my phone to factory settings and delete gingerblur 7.7?
also does rooting void your warrenty with att
gingerblur uninstall
make sure the connection between your computer and phone is set right.
Nevermind, I just flashed the 1.8.3 sbf.
How did you even get gingerblur 7.7? 3.0 is the latest. Also, I don't think gingerblur has an uninstaller. You have to flash an sbf using rsdlite.

If I don't need flash with rsdlite, How do I uninstall it?
Can Factory reset help?
You flash sbf w/ RSD Lite

Supposedly there is a themes uninstaller app in the themes and apps section on here? Which I heard Kennethpenn himself tell a member on here to try and uninstall gingerblur with that. Don't know for certain that it will work though?
Edit: This is the link for the uninstaller! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042736
That uninstaller doesn't replace all of the changes that gingerblur makes. I've tried to make a comprehensive uninstaller that will put all the necessary stock files back on the phone but gave up after a series of soft bricks. I read somewhere that you can do a CWM backup and advanced restore only certain aspects (data). With that you may be able to create a backup, flash 1.83 sbf, then restore any lost data with CWM. With different software versions out for ATT phones it can be tricky though.
So, When I run on gingerblur, Can I OTA update in normal case?

No, if you have gingerblur installed, you will have to flash a previous sbf to OTA update, or wait till the new sbf is released and flash it. 1.83 sbf has already been released btw.
Help removing Gingerblur from Atrix MB860
I have been scouring the internet all day looking for a way to remove Gingerblur and put my Atrix MB860 (US, AT&T) back the way it was before I installed the mod. Every link is broken, out of date, or just a flame war between geeks with nothing better to do. Needless to say, this is frustrating.
The instructions on this thread are out of date. I can't find the stock version of 1.2.6 on any site that's not down or seized by the US government. Could someone please post instructions on how to remove Gingerblur from an Atrix MB860 for AT&T with working links? Thanks

Were you on Froyo or Gingerbread before Gingerblur?

Hi, I have a root problem. I rooted the original firmware (1.2.6) using SuperOneClick and am now on firmware 1.8.3. I'm not sure if I still have root, but I'm doing a warranty exchange with AT&T (faulty ear piece) and even though I updated to 1.8.3, the Superuser icon remains there. I definitely need it removed because rooting voids the warranty, and if the warranty is void with the device I send in, it will cost $500.
I've read some people suggest a SBF Flash, but will AT&T be able to tell the firmware isn't the actual stock firmware? Or, if I was to restore to 1.2.6 via SBF Flash, will I then be able to update the firmware through the Android OS to the official AT&T 1.8.3 version?
Another suggestion I saw was the option to Gladroot it then remove root, but since I'm already on 1.8.3, I'd have to SBF Flash back to 1.2.6 to root it, anyways.
So, really the question is, will the SBF Flash remove the Superuser icon? And will AT&T be able to tell if the phone has been SBF flashed?
Thanks so much, and if you've found another way to remove the Superuser icon, please let me know!
If you sbf flash it to 1.2.6 was like how you bought it. So superuser would be gone and it wont be rooted. Also At&t wont be able to tell.

derp
and yes flash 1.2.6
Flashed it successfully, Superuser was removed, no problems. Thanks so much for the help!
Does anyone have the SBF for Oranges 4.1.31 retail ROM i need to unroot my Atrix to return it unfortunately.
Cheers
If it hasn't been leaked (which I don't think it has), you are SOL as far as reflashing it.
Are you just rooted or did you flash another sbf on there? If you are just rooted, you can unroot and they will never know you were rooted in regards to warranty.
I thought you had to reflash the rom to get rid of root tbh. How do you unroot without? I originally rooted with gingerbreak.
run gingerbreak and click the unroot button, if its not there you must have used an older version, i dont know if you can get away with uninstalling your version, installing the new version and then clicking unroot, cant see why not seeing as i imagine they used the same exploit.
Thanks, the auto-install GingerBreak script that is linked in the read-me is the old version and hence lacks the unroot option.
ahh thats pretty annoying, you could try uninstalling the version of gingerbreak that is on there, installing 1.20 and use that to unroot, then uninstall it. I guess once your unrooted a factory reset should bring you back to pretty much how it was when you got it
I had previously had Android 2.2.2 installed on my AT&T Atrix and done some research with no avail. I have yet to find an unrooting to 2.3.4, Need to return my phone, not really enjoying GB and sucky battery life. Will wait for a newer phone to come stateside. So please help? Method of root was SuperOneClick Gingerbreak 1.1 and then update OTA. Any working methods found yet?
THanks in advance. Hope for some answers soon, returning tomorrow.
I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15023022&postcount=2
This is to root it but not unroot?
what he posted was to Root
just search the forum for aroot, it has the option to root and unroot or you can use RSD to flash back to a stock rom like 1.2.6 then just go through the updates to the latest if you so choose to,
I dont have an unlocked bootloader and Im not interested in doing so. Doesnt using RSDlite cause bricks on official updates. I tried unroot with aRoot and it just restarted. I tried unroot with gingerbreak and it is greyed out.
I had to return my first Atrix back in March and all I did was use "Root Explorer" to delete the SU files/apk and did a factory reset. If they intend on reselling it as refurbished they will flash a stock sbf anyways. Actually, you can find the stock sbf in the development forum and flash it yourself and it should return it to stock.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm going to go ahead and look for these files. Just wondering, where are they stored at?
Look here.
Be sure to read the thread. Also, you were right about NOT downgrading from the OTA GB, it will brick your phone.

I would actually prefer to just delete SU from the system (since it wont show any use of SU all together since I did do a restore) and I'm not comfortable with flashing and the chance of bricking.

i unlocked my BL and used RSD to go back to 1.2.6 twice with no problems, only time it will brick is if you OTA update to GB and unlock the BL and try to RSD back to a stock rom, as long as you havent updated to the official GB and use RSD you will be fine, at least i was twice
can i unroot 2.3.4?
would this work for 2.3.4? just deleting the files to send back to at&t for a replacement?
I'm trying to restore my Froyo app backups, i.e. Email 2.2.2, News 2.2.2, etc with Titanium Backup but have encountered a problem. They won't restore! The only reason I want to restore them is I'm under the impression when I update to Gingerbread (once it's avaiable on Bell) it won't let me update since I don't have some core apps installed. Please help!
The icon in the right of those apps, is an explanation mark in a triangle?
No it's actually a red happy face.
It's just Email 2.2.2, Weather 2.2.2 and News 2.2.2 that I backed up and un-installed. Now when I try and restore just those 3 the restore pop up screen goes on forever. Do I even need to reinstall these in order to update to Gingerbread successfully? Thanks.
Sorry for bumping, but I'm a little worried I won't be able to update to Gingerbread when the time comes...
Hmmm...
The think you can do is, ask for another Bell user here, upload the 3 apks you want, and
using Root Explorer or any other exlporer with root access,
or adb using your computer
move these apps to system/app
You unistalled them because they were bloatware, right?
You shouldn't unistall them. You should freeze them, and now restore them back.
But, what i suggest is:
Unlock your Bootloader,
install the Unlocked CWM
and download and install(using cwm zips) an International Version of 2.3.4 from now.
But READ very carefully the android dev section, so you wont get hard-brick!
If i helped, hit thanks!
I suggest back up your data and what not and flash a fresh stock build (either fruit cake or sbf)
Yeah I thought they were bloatware so I uninstalled them. I'll freeze next time. Can I just "Factory Data reset" after backing up all my essential apps? I really don't understand the process of flashing and updating to Gingerbread and whatnot and I'm a little scared to brick my phone too.

The only thing you have to afraid, is some SBF's, when you unlock you bootloader..(If the dont remove some code of Bootloader, in SBF's, and then you downgrade from 2.3 to 2.2, you get hard-brick!)
So, i suggest you, instead of waiting the 3 apk's,
wait for a more stable and international support for a rom(like, i m waiting Alien Rom),
and then flash it using CWM..
If you read here, you can easily unlock your Bootloader, but this can void your guarantee.
Since you are unlocked, then never use RDS lite, to flash SBF's, and flash roms in CWM which is easy and safe!
I' m not pushing you. Just recommending!
My guarantee is already voided, since i m since unlocked, and the half-earth away from USA
So unlocking my phone is the only risky part? And after I unlock my phone I should never update with the official releases again? Also, unlocking my phone only gives me the ability to flash roms, kernels etc in the future when a more stable Bell 2.34 rom comes out, it doesn't change anything with my phone as is right now except I void my warranty? Basically unlocking doesn't give me Gingerbread or anything for that matter, it only allows me to install it afterwards? You can probably tell I'm very new to all this so thank you for being so patient and helpful.
