I would really appreciate any support
You can only flash the att sbf files to an att atrix. The telstra can only be flashed on the bell atrix as far as I know.

Correct. Att phones can only have the att sbf. If you want to flash an sbf OP u have 3 available. 1.2.6 (stock) + 1.5.7 (no need) + 1.8.3 (latest)
Also wrong section

Hey guys
Super-n00b question, did my searching, but was not able to find a distinct and crystal clear answer for this which has already caused me one hard brick.
I hardbricked about a week ago going from the OTA gingerbread (installed using update from update.zip with CWM) back to 1.8.3 with RSD Lite.
Got my new ATRIX, and it was on 1.8.3 with locked bootloader, obviously.
I unlocked the BL, and just flashed pudding again to get the update for the ram fix or whatever.
I installed kennethpenn's 4.5.91 gingerbread CWM flushable zip, and have been running that.
I want to go back to stock 1.8.3 so I can start from 100% clean.
GOING FROM kennethpenns 4.5.91 GingerAtrix with unlocked bootlkader, can I use RSD lite and flash stock 1.8.3 back onto my phone with out running the risk of hardbricking?
Responses with direct and distinct answers would be wonderful, as I have not been able to find any by searching the forums.
Thanks in advance

yes, I have done it more then a few times.
ok awesome thank you guys for the quick and reliable responses!
what would be the correct process for this procedure? I'd prefer to do motorola's official release, but I really just don't know what the method I should follow is.

I did this last night myself.
HOW TO FLASH A SBF:
The Motorola Atrix 4G SBF Thread. This is your fall back, you flash this if you screwed yourself, wanna go back to stock, or you just wanna try it out. Make sure you pick the right sbf file too, don’t go flashing a Latin America sbf on a US AT&T Atrix. Currently there are 3 U.S. Motorola sbf files you should be concerned about: 1.2.6, 1.5.7 and 1.8.3 (w/ 2.3.3 coming soon!)
Motorola Atrix Firmware Super Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1125944
Here are instructions for flashing a sbf file to your device. These particular instructions were for 1.2.6 sbf, but also apply to all other .sbf files. Ready carefully & make sure you have all the prerequisite files, programs, drivers, etc:

Were you on gingerblur? And which one did you flash? I want unlocked Gingerbread
Since there was a lack of help, I put on my big boy pants and tried it, and it worked perfectly.
Was on Gingerblur 4.5, i unlocked with kennethpenn's method
http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader
and then flashed this sbf using rsd lite:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182526
I was in a similar situation.... I flashed straight from locked bootloader stock 1.83 to gingerbread + pudding sbf. I have not unlocked bootloader from there because I have no reason too.
So for anyone with a similar question, you DO NOT need to unlock your bootloader before flashing the gingerbread + pudding SBF! Just flash that and you get gingerbread, plus the ability to unlock in the future.
I just recently purchased a Bell Motorola Atrix and am interested in rooting it, installing CMW and installing a Custom ROM. I'm a bit worried because some of these tutorials specifically mention "AT&T" and not "International" or "Bell". Is it possible to root and install CMW and ROMs on a Bell Atrix? If so can you send me a link to the appropriate thread (tutorial for rooting/CWM/ROMs). Also, is it possible install the Alien ROM found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186537 on a Bell Motorola Atrix?
Thank you!
p.s. Any software unlocking method out there that I can do myself that doesn't require $$?
responding to your PM now
I am also curious. I've had an Atrix for a month now, still stock fw.
I am dying to get gingerbread on this thing after seeing the AT&T version get it.
I've scoured the forums many times without a surefire solution
Once you unlock the bootloader using international ihop pudding you can flash anything you want. Just make sure you have the right international kernel and any rom will boot. This is a bell atrix and I've been on alien, cherryblur, picherry, and cm7. Cheers.

I am JUST realizing now that Bell IHOP isn't some other carrier from another country..
"IHOP" threw me off. IHOP = international house of pudding.
I seriously though it was some other carrier. Ugh.

I'm going to be honest, I don't know what you're talking about :$
Hey guys, i've been working on my atrix and i'm currently a bit stumped. In this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138204 thread for fastboot rooting, it asks you to input "fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img". I don't have this preinstall.img, I found one from the post above but it's under AT&T only, some help would be great. Thank you
Don't need that step. If my pm suggestion works let the community know.
So I have officially unlocked the bootloader using IHOP and now i'm a bit confused as to my next step. Y2Whisper says that I can skip the rooting because it's included in the Alien ROM. So I thought to install CWM here but it tells you to "Remove install_recovery.sh" which I attempted but could not do since I do not have superuser permissions since I am not rooted. I assume I cannot install the Alien ROM without CWM. Some help would be really appreciated, thank you.
p.s. What CWM should I install? I've always used the one that came with ROM Manager, is that one compatible?
EDIT: Attempted to flash this CWM , seemed like it went okay but when I enter recovery i get a "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
I am getting a new phone and i need to restore my Atrix 4G to stock. I am on Alien Build #4 and i want to be able to restore my phone back to the stock AT&T rom. I am unlocked and have cwm running. Do I have to use fruit cakes or sbf??? And if so, which one?
Fruit Cakes... Not sure which one though... Read on them and see what you need. SBF has a higher chance of bricking your Atrix.
Look on the official Motorola site. There is an official software updater which will return you to stock, even relocking your bootloader (or at least gets rid of the locked words on boot).

If your on Gingerbread (2.3.4) then you can't SBF down to 2.2.2, you'll get a HARD brick. You must SBF the stock Gingerbread for Atrix. Download this and SBF it to your atrix http://www.filesonic.com/file/15073...signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011.sbf.gz. The firmware is locked to At&t so a T-Mobile sim (for example) won't work. Again, once you flash this or any Gingerbread you cannot downgrade to 2.2.2. Don't try. I've tried. I got a new Atrix. Lmao.
Hi,
My Atrix is from Singapore and I need to flash it back to stock (to "try" and send it in for repair). I did a search and I could only find files related to AT&T.
Should I do a SBF flash or fruitcake via CWM?
Can anyone tell me where I can look for the links which I can use?
Thanks!

If you're phone has an unlocked bootloader, you can flash fruitcake via CWM. But I've yet to see a Southeast Asia fruitcake.
But if you're with a locked bootloader, you can just flash SBF. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18308051&postcount=168

Thanks for your response.
Mine is unlocked, but I can't find any international fruit cake. Do you know if there is any issues with me using the AT&T fruit cake?
Btw, the SBF download link in the above link no longer works =)
You may face bricking your phone..
Somewhere in Hardwarezone.sg ATRIX forum should have. I remember getting my SBF from there when I bricked my ATRIX. Many Singaporean atrix owners have discussed and requested for fruitcakes and sbfs. But that single thread has like 63 pages.. so..

Someone tried flashing the sbf and got a soft brick.
I think less than 10 people are using Moto phones in Singapore. The forum is as good as dead.
