I recently rooted my Atrix on 1.57 (with Gingerbreak) and did the webtop mod. I heard about the 1.83 update, so I took the webtop mod off and tried to install the update, yet I get an exclamation point and the update is not able to install. What should I do?

Have you tried flashing the 1.8.3 sbf?
Did you deodex? The update will not work if you did.

I have not tried that. Doesn't that delete all of my memory? Can I flash it over my current 1.57?

Yes, you can flash it over 1.57, and no it doesn't erase anything. However, if you root again using gingerbreak, that WILL delete everything...so back it all up.

I flashed 1.83 sbf and rooted w/ gingerbreak... Didn't delete anything. Actually I take that back, the apps I had downloaded from the Amazon market were deleted, but I think that had more to do with the 1.83 sbf and not gingerbreak.

Hi,
I have deodexed 1.57 in my Atrix. How could go for 1.83.
I tried flashing 1.83 SBF using RSDLite but it failed.
Could someone point me too a post/doc on how to go back to 1.57 factory and do 1.83 OTA
I've been holding off updating. I'm a little confused, I've seen some posts saying its better to do the ota. Does it really matter which way you you update?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Well, I OTAd the update on a rooted 1.57 and had no problems. Just had to run afterupdate.bat again from gladroot after the update to retain root. I think the better question is do you want to be odexed or deodexed. Odexed is good if you want to keep your phone as close to stock as possible and you will get these files from the OTA update. Deodexed is better is you want to do editing, install more themes, etc.
The 1.83 sbf with deodexed files is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055851
and I don't need to tell you where the OTA update for odexed files is.
I have the 1.83 sbf already thanks though. I'm rooted and on grey blur with webtop mod, so I haven't gotten the ota notice.
I thought retain root doesn't work, so we have to use ginger break instead.

Last night I soft bricked my phone, flashed to 1.26, used gladroot to root, updated to 1.57, ran afterupdate to get root back, OTAd to 1.83, ran afterupdate again and am not running on 1.83 rooted. Gingerbreak scares me with the talk of it possibly formatting your internal sd.
Your not on 1.83? Or is that a typo?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I'm running Gingerblur version 3.0. I just got the update message for 1.8.3. It will download but not install. I had this issue upgrading to the one before this. Last time I restored my phone back to stock to get it to install. Don't want to do that again. Is it something I'm overlooking?

Yep, I lose the contents of internal SD every time - but with backup, it's much quicker and easier than flashing back to 1.26 and working your way up again. Appears to have no adverse effects - worked fine to restore root after 1.5.7 and again after 1.8.3.
Of course YMMV.

I'm on 1.83 now, I was saying that I had a rooted 1.57 and was able to OTA update to 1.83 with no problems.
And I may end up trying gingerbreak in the future, but I was bricked anyway so I just rebuilt.
I was in the exact same situation. Had to install SBF 1.26 and repeated the hole process. I don't think there's other way to update

I just picked up a X2 off of CL and it seems to have a partial root (if there is such a thing). It has SuperUser on it but no CWM recovery installed. Where do I go from here? I have tried to do a factory reset and the SU remains there. I would like to get the thing fully rooted with some custom recovery/ROM awesomeness....
There is no such thing. If it has SU then its probably rooted. Look for an app that says system recovery. If you wiped then it probably gone. It needs to be reinstalled. It installs like an APK with options to install recovery and a recovery mode and a charge mode. The recovery can be found in DEV section with any of the rooting guides.

Superuser gets killed if your phone got an over the air (OTA) update from Verizon. Easy to fix, all you need to do is SBF to 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 and use the one click root method to root then install boot strap recovery if you want to install a custom ROM.
Search the development X2 forum for the SBF Tutorial. It will explain step by step instructions.

He speaks the truth. Worked for me
Recommend starting on SBF 2.3.4 and use the OneClickRoot to root it afterwards. Just make sure that after flashing stock 2.3.4 to set the phone from Charge Only to PC Sync and allow debugging (Settings -> Applications -> Development) so OneClick can see your phone.
Recommend installing System Recovery afterwards. System Recovery lets you boot into a CWM recovery mode, and of course, flash unsigned .zips (ROMS) Note: Just a heads up, you can't boot into the tweaked System Recovery unless the USB is plugged in the AC outlet or a car charger. I found that... as a minor speed bumping when getting it to work.
If you are unsure how to use the SBF with RSDLite let us know and we will help you run through that.
SBF 2.3.3 then one click root
I would start off with the SBF for 2.3.3 and then the one click root. The leaked version of 2.3.4 has battery issues still as far as I know.
There is an official 2.3.4, not just the "leaked" Soak Test version.

now that you bring that up, let's say the OTA has a few minor fixes. Would the people who SBF'd get the latest version via the OTA?

That is good to know I SBF to the leaked version and then ended up flashing back to 2.3.3. I must of missed the oficcial 2.3.4 sbf. Can you let me know what link that was in? I would like to try the new eclipse at some time soon and would like to have the official sbf and not the leaked version. Thanks for the correction.
Thanks everyone!
Off to SBF something!

Try one more factory reset after you flash. That has happened to me before but goes away after the second factory reset.
i want to flash back to stock from being unlocked. I loaded up the SBF into rsd lite and go into RSD mode. The progress will get to about 70% and say "waiting for enumeration" anyone know whats going on?

Hey man,
Which version of RSD are you using? I am using 5.5 and was able to flash the 198_6 SBF without issue.

Any luck with the update? Why are you going back to stock anyway? FYI I was on alien..loved the theme-ing there but had to update the phone..maybe I should have just edited the build.prop, but i figured it's probably good to do it once in a while. If it still doesn't work, you could try wipe/reset and start from 154_5..(not sure).
Best,
K
Thanks for your help. I'm going back to stock because i flashed the build of CM7 thats in the works right now just to check it out. Well when i wiped cache and dalvik and flashed back to alien my radio was still borked. I decided to start from sqare one. i ended up just doing a factory reset and its back to normal.
No worries! Glad it worked out!

This is not for the OTA, this is for the prior cheesecaked build
####BACKUP your current system with BSR before doing anything!####
1. SBF or nand restore to stock 2.3.4 (if on completely unmodified and fully bloated stock 2.3.4 skip to step 2)
2. Apply 2.3.5 (412 build) in stock recovery after placing on external sd card root and renaming update.zip (reboot phone and hold down volume, press down arrow until you see android recovery, press up volume button, when on next screen press both volume buttons at same time. Wipe cache and flash update.zip)
3. Root using zergrush (with phone unpluged unzip and open zergrush program....make sure unknown sources in applications is checked and that debuggung is checkmarked. I also checkmark stay awake as zergrush recommends setting screen timeout for ten minutes. Connect your phone and then check it is connected as charge only. Hit spacebar and then the phone will reboot after the zerglings lol find a way in and your rooted)
***Rootkeeper has caused issues with some roms aborting install.***
4. Install & then boot into bootstrap
5. Wipe data, cache and dalvik
6. Flash 2.3.5 based custom rom from removable sd card & reboot when done.

Thanks this will help many including myself. Had to sbf 2 times last night and no luck. However I was using rootkeeper. I will try again tonight with zergrush.
There are now a newer set of updates to 2.3.5 to be applied over... if your gonna do it might as well do a full set..
I would put at the very beginning of the post to do a backup. People should know, but you know how that goes. lol

I know you can update via cheese cake to newer versions. I know Eclipse is off of the linked 2.3.5 which is 412 and I believe pepper's is the same. Please correct me if I am wrong.
There might be unknown issues if everyone starts flashing roms desinged for one build over other updates....is that what your refering to? Am I wrong about this?

Im trying to help a friend with his droid x2. We rooted it with dooms v4 zergrush before doing anything else, hadnt seen this tutorial yet. When trying to update to 2.3.5 it aborts, last line said E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip. Do we need to unroot to do this then root again? I did this because for eclipse rom it sais it needs rooted gingerbread, but step 3 of install is to root, so it confused me, I chose to root it first.
I tried unrooting and starting over, still wont work. Its wierd that it the OP it sais to do a BSR backup before starting but then step 4 sais to install bootstrap, Ill assume BSR is BootStrapRecovery, so if you need to have it to backup before starting why would you need to install it? Im a bit confused here. I have 2 rooted, unlocked bootloader x10s with MIUI so Im not a newbie but this is frustrating.

I have never used V4 zerg...use v3 as in instructions. You dont need to unroot. Are you flashing the 412 buil update in android stock recovery? After you install the 412 update you will need to reroot....DONT USE ROOTKEEPER...If you fallow the instructionas as wrote you will have no issues that also includes using the mentioned rooting program as well.
I would suggest at this point SBF and start from step one and/or unroot 2.3.4 and start from step one using everything in the OP as instructed to the T.
If you cant get it your not following the instructions.
