Hi,
I have a bell atrix, Used to have 2.1.1 frensh sbf with Grey Blur.
I unlcoked my bootloader and flashed the stock att 2.3.4 rom from keneth using fastboot.
Never tried my 3g when i did this
Since i had the RAM issue i used the fix they posted on the orange 2.3.4 post without flashing the orange 2.3.4 . then i added my APN settings and Data never worked
Tried installing Bell Latest Radio and still no 3g
Then flashed using fastboot the orange 2.3.4 and still no 3G data
Can someone please help me?
Is is safe for me to go back to 2.1.1 frensh sbf and greyblur again?
I had the same issue but fixed by flashing only the system.img from the at&t 2.3.4. I would still like to try the orange rom but until we can work out the data issue at&t will do

did you restore before flashing?
Could you tell me exactly what you did?
Did you flash the stock2.3.4 rom of kenn or his 2.3.4 beta build ?

Didn't have to restore or anything.
I used the build located here:
http://bandbinnovations.com/xda/gingerbread/Gingerbread-4.5.91.zip
Unzip that, restart your phone into fastboot.
Then you just need to flash the system.img to the phone using these commands:
moto-fastboot flash system system.img
moto-fastboot -w
moto-fastboot reboot
It will wipe your internal SD so backup anything you need to keep first.

Hi,
I am not happy with the ROMs out there of 2.3.4 so i am trying to get back to stock 2.2.2. Any thing i should be careful of ? (i have unlocked bootloader and Unlocked CWM installed)
I am planning to download SBF and flashing it using RSD Lite 5.3.1
I have Bell Atrix (and installed International SBF before all the times)
Make sure to download the correct SBF. It should say "1.8.3 Pudding" or something like that. But, honestly I think you would be better off on gingerbread there are so much more features than froyo.
i think u will brick when u go flash sbf again.
I've seen posts bout it and u should stay with the unlocked sbf.

And with my experience DO NOT SBF FLASH ANY THING USING RSD Lite, ONLY USE IT IF UR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it okay... then I flashed a ROM, that also worked fine. I tried to flash a kernel and now it just gets stuck on the HTC screen. I tried restoring my back up, still the same issue. Tried reflashing the ROM, same issue. Not sure how to get it back to normal at this point.
It sounds like the kernel you flashed is either a 2.3.3 kernel that doesn't work on 2.3.4, or it was a bad flash. You should be able to fix this by holding volume down when booting up (opens HBOOT) then choose Recovery and from the recovery you can then either enable USB Mass Storage device and transfer a stock kernel over USB to your SD card then flash the stock kernel, or if you already have a stock kernel on your SD card, you can just select it from the install from zip menu and flash.
This Kernel should work fine (it's stock with CIQ spyware removed):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224659
and after I flash this kernel it should be back to normal.... or should I try to flash a ROM all over again as well? As long as it can definitely be fixed then that's quite alright.... this phone compared to the Epic (which I came from) seems like it's much less fail safe to me.

ROMs usually have kernels. You could just wipe Dalvick cache and cache and flash your original rom (which has it's original kernel). and that should work.
There's a sea of roms. You could try posting on a rom's thread whether a particular kernel is compatible. Just follow the spin of things. Saves from just going round in circles.

Here's a scenario: If you installed a rooted stock 2.3.4 rom then decided to install Silverneedle kernel, your phone will get stuck in this boot-loop because the silverneedle kernel is not compatible with 2.3.4 yet. So by flashing a stock kernel over what is already on there, it should fix the problem. Before you flash the stock kernel clear cache and dalvik. After that flash the kernel and reboot the phone. Chances are it will boot normally. I doubt you will have to reflash a ROM to fix this.
Just cleared the dalvik and the cache, reflashed the ROM hoping to start completely fresh and its still getting stuck...

Then flash a stock kernel. I have had the same problem before. I flashed a ROM, installed a kernel and stuck at HTC boot screen. The fix is to either install a stock kernel through bootloader or flash another ROM in recovery. If you want the best chance of it working the first time, then flash the stock rooted 2.3.4 ROM by xhausx. If you want to try other ROMs and kernels, make sure that your ROM and kernel are compatible. Also use the synergy wipe zip file before flashing to make sure everything is formatted properly. Also, did you flash the extra firmwares that came with the 2.3.4 update? If not, make sure you flash those along with the new radio that just came out.

Take it you didn't do a nandroid before flashing?

Tried to get my nandroid and it still got stuck..
Perhaps I should've also mentioned that my bootloader still says S-ON and I unlocked it using the HTC unlock method.

Not sure about any extra firmwares actually.... currently going to try flashing xhaus' ROM and hope that works...
Flashed the superwipe before flashing the ROM, then flashed the ROM... it went to the HTC screen for a second then just vibrated and then turned black.
When I go into the bootloader when it is loading up the images.... it kept saying "No Image!" for all of them. I'm not having any luck with this at all.

Hello, I'm in quite the pickle and my head is spinning at this point. A few days ago I received a brand new Atrix from Motorola with 2.3.4 preinstalled. I unlocked and rooted it as well as installed tenfar's recovery and a a rom by the name of aura(de-blurred). After installing aura I noticed that my wifi no longer worked. I reflashed the rom and still it didn't work. I completely wiped everything and started over, still nothing. After countless efforts I tried installing the blurred version of aura in hopes that it would solve my problem. This was to no avail. Now I have no idea what happened after that, but somewhere along the line tenfar's recovery quit working. I get stuck at the motorola logo with the "unlocked" in the top left corner. I have no idea what to do now. I can't go into recovery which in turn means I can't install any new roms. The only option I can think of is to load a pudding abf of gingerbread. Am I safe in doing so? Are there other options? I have yet to find a real answer to this question so if anyone could possibly point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated. I'm so overwhelmed with how much information is out there I just don't know what to do. Thank you in advance for the help.
I'm also on ATT
If you're running 2.3.4 you can use a 2.3.4 SBF - just do NOT attempt to flash a 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 Froyo SBF - you WILL hard brick.
Will flashing a 2.3.4 sbf completely overwrite everything back to stock 2.3.4? At this point I just want an unlocked and rooted gingerbread. No roms or anything!

If you want to erase and stay on the same fw then all you need to do us a factory reset.
If you want to unlock, then use the IHOP (AKA Pudding) method found in the Dev forum...

I've tried a factory reset and that did not solve the wifi problem. Also, if I install pudding on top of an already unlocked and rooted device will that cause conflicting errors?

If you are unlocked and it says "unlocked" during bootup, then you don't need to unlock it again. It's permanently unlocked.
Not sure about what's going on with your wifi. Have you tried resetting your router, or is happening with all wifi areas?...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
It is happening with all wifi areas.
I also wanted to try the pudding sbf in hopes that it would fix the recovery. I may not need it anymore, but it's a nice feature to have just in case things really take a turn for the worse.
For your WiFi issue. Reset your WiFi router, and 'Forget' all networks on your Atrix. Then go through the paces of setting it all back up again on the Atrix once your home Router has been reset.
You can flash the pudding 2.3.4 sbf.
its not reccomended tho .. try out the fruitcakes first..

I don't have access to ANY recovery methods though. Tenfar's recovery refuses to boot and leaves me with the motorola logo and "unlocked" in the top left corner. Is there any known reason for this?
Can you enter fastboot?
If so you flash in that.
You can even download the rom manager recovery and flash it via fastboot too see if that recovery will let you do what you gotta do.

2.3.4 SBF is fine.... its not recommended to flash anything prior to 2.3.4 - as it results in hard bricking.
I shall try it via fastboot. Thank you for all of the help everyone. I appreciate all the input.
Everything works! Oh happy day!
Hello. First of all i did a huge search and tried everything i found before posting. I rooted my phone, use bootstrap, made a nandroid backup, saved it on my pc and tried to flash cm9. When i reboot phone from recovery it got stuck on M logo. I tried to go back to recovery and made a data wipe, rebooted phone and got stuck again. I tried to restore stock with RSD...didnt work. Start flashing and after a couple minutes said flash failed. My stock rom is from Claro PR. Gb 2.3.5 and i didnt find any where that file to use via RSD. I tried Latinamerican 2.3.5 (Argentina) and 2.3.6 and nothing. Tried to restore stock rom using Razr tool and it shows something like signature failed....thats because it restore to stock EU firmware. My phone keep stock on fasboot flashing failure or something like that. I found that i can flash system.img from my nandroid backup via adb( mean fastboot) but when i extract my nandroid backup theres only three ext3 files and the .md5. I open every file trying to find an .img but nothing. What can i do? How can use that file to restore my phone? It is posible to change that files to .img? Does somebody has the system.img file from stock Claro PR 2.3.5 or any other that worked for you on Claro? Please help!!! Thanks in advance.
You flashed an ICS CM9, right?
So now you can't flash an GB FW, because you stuck on ICS. You have to find an ICS Fastboot for your Region and use this with RSD!

Hi!
These files shaw be restored thru safestrap/bootstrap. If you lost recovery then you'll need to flash a fresh firmware with RSD lite.
Take a look in dev section for a fastboot file to ur razr. Btw, what version of the razr do you own?

Quik question. When i get that cable...once in apfastboot....your telling me that after i run ur ota fix ill be able to get in recovery and flash the update?
I originally had my phone on gingerbread 2.3.6 until i tried to flash it on a low battery and it got stuck on the boot animation. Now i need to know which would better and safer to restore with 2.3.6 or 2.3.4 using RSD lite.

Neither is safe. Do not flash an sbf unless you have tried all other options.
You probably have a boot loop. Look here first.
I would recommend to flash the 2.3.6, my phone came with that rom and one day i tried yo flash the 2.3.4 and it failed.
