[Q] Orange 4.1.31 SBF - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] Root Problem- help!

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.

I rooted the original firmware (1.2.6) using SuperOneClick

[Q] Orange 4.1.31 SBF

Does anyone have the SBF for Oranges 4.1.31 retail ROM i need to unroot my Atrix to return it unfortunately.
Cheers
nope its not available, best you can do is flash olyem 2.1.1 and hope they dont notice. Although it wont have all of the orange apps, someone may have a backup of them they can send you though, saying that though i imagine you need to be rooted to restore them so maybe not a great idea.
if you used gingerbreak there is an unroot option, you could do that than factory reset?

[Q] How to unroot 2.3.4 Atrix

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?

[Q] Restoring Froyo Apps

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.

[Q] Unroot without knowing the root method?

Hey, My droid razr has rooted by the phone store which i bought from them,

It is vital to mention that the system ver is: 65.1.12.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03

Are you sure it will disable the root ?
Then, why there are a lot of guides and scripts to unroot the phone?
Now i'm confused
haha, Honestly im not 100% sure. I dont have this phone yet, although my brother does, but it's not rooted.
Just Fastboot 2.3.6 Update.
Easiest way to unroot that i know of.
Download supersu from the play store.
Run it
Select unroot on the settings tab.
It's that easy.
Download voodoo OTA rootkeeper. Temp unroot --> OTA to ICS --> re-root (or stay unrooted if you want)
