So, its mid July ...I'm sure the update for Gingerbread is coming ....but apparently ...mostly everyone has installed the leaked gingerbread...now I ask is it worth it to go back to stock to be able to download the new update if so how do I go back? What do I need to flash? This question has probably been answered but I couldnt find it...thanks.

Hello filmusikat,
I see that you're running gingerblur 4.5 on your atrix, so do i. You need to flash 4.1.8.3 official sbf and check for the gingerbread update regulary. I don't think the leaked gb roms are worth to spend time for now. They all have glitches which would effect daily usage.

Hi filmusikat!
The latest ROM has proven to be very stable:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169409
The instructions are included within the thread. Not addressing the unlocking part since your signature already tells you got it.
As for being worthy, I say it is. I was in Gingerblur too, and the performance difference is big.

no glitches affecting any daily usage on me for 4.5.91. 100% functional, and 100% better than froyo.
Remains to be seen which version of GB will be the official release. The leaked versions everyone is flashing may not be the most current which will be offered up.
NOTE SHE/HE NEVER MENTION GB 4.5, actually if she/he indeed installed ota gb update.zip, with you instructions she/he will have a HARD BRICK
So first thing to find out is what actually she/he has installed

Thank you guys for the reply..I am a she btw(to the last post). I currently have kens beta gingerbread rom installed. I know my signature says otherwise..i haven't changed it. So... I guess I should not flash 1.8.3 cuz I would end up with a hard brick... so where to now from here if I wanted to test out the official ota coming soon?

I've got to say I'm very pleased... I have Gingerbread beta 4-5, hotspot enabled, webtop working perfectly via webtop-joe, Netflix - streamingly like it should. My Atrix feels like it should have come out of the box like this. I honestly don't think within the next year or two they will release another operating system better than GB and by then I'd probably be upgraded to the newest phone AT&T has... Atrix Quad core 3D with a 5" screen LOL

For the nice lady:
"If you want to confirm your status, please adb, su, and "cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm" or just open the file in Root Explorer. If you see something like:
10000000000010001000300004000
Then you should NOT SBF anything from Motorola"
If you want to post your ReservedOdm to look and see if you will be fine to SBF 1.83 again
Probably you are safe if you actually installed Kenth by CDW or moto-fastboot (boot.img and system.img)
But if you actually run the update.zip or any update trought the normal android recovery screen and if you saw the following legend "updating AP20 bootloader" in that case you CAN NOT flash any SBF from Motorola
I hope it help

Helo guys, I used to own a Samsung Galaxy S, and last week I got the Droid X2 from Verizon. So now I'm seeing new terms being used like sbf, debloat, freeze, etc...
My DX2 is root and I also have the V6 Supercharger, and I still can't get the GB update.
I believe many users on this forum have the same case as mine, so can anyone give us steps to follow in order to get the update.
Thank you so much
sbf back to stock using rsd.
download the gb update, flash in recovery
look under general in Droid x2 forums
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA Premium App
I came from a similar situation. I just got the x2 as a replacement for my fascinate due to repetitive missed call issues. I updated to Gingerbread today using the tips on this forum & the file posted to the mediafire link. The first thing you'll need to do for this update to work is undue all the non-stock modifications you've done.
Unsupercharge
Unfreeze or replace any stock apps you may have uninstalled. This is where the sbf comes in, it's the stock image that was loaded when it left the factory.
Unroot, might not be necessary but its better safe than sorry. Especially since this update is unrootable atm.
Rename the downloaded file update.zip & put it in the root of your sdcard-ext.
Flash from the stock recovery & you should be good.
Whatever other info you need, search these threads-its in there somewhere.

The SBF does infact restore you to stock 2.2.2
It should also be the first thing you do when you get the phone (before rooting etc) It blows my mind that people would mess with their device without doing an SBF at least once.
The SBF will usually require you to battery pull at the end, go to stock Android recovery and wipe data and cache. (unless you did that before running the SBF)
On Vista and Windows 7 make sure you right click RSDlite and choose to "run as admin"
Everyone who did the OTA or the 2.3 update from here at XDA and wants p3droids rooted update is going to have to SBF momentarily. We should get rooted 2.3 this afternoon according to p3's twitter
I unrooted my phone and uninstalled the Supercharger, I sbf'd back to stock Froyo successfully, and still I can't get the update. What else should I do?

GREAT, you have completed step one. Do not load anything else on your phone. You will not be getting a over the air update.
You have more work to do to get 2.3.3 on your phone.

Just to be clear.... He should eventually get an OTA update if he waits long enough. But he won't be able to root it. So follow the link above, and do those steps to install the rooted version of the update from 3Pdroid.
(Yeah I know that's obvious, but the title of this thead DOES include the words, "I'm Totally Lost". )
Thanks all, I'm on the pre-rooted GB now
Much appreciated
Pete's One-Click Root Method works on the OTA. Just make sure you enable USB Debugging.

Motorola has released their newest soak test today, at 12:12 EST. (atleast for me)
People living further west can expect the update to come later, Matt (@Motorola Forums) said.
Rooted phones cannot update. you must SBF to 2.3.3 stock to install the update.
I'll update this thread as more information is found.
If you get the update please remember to post at the project's forums over at Motorola.
Hey guys, I've been running the new 2.3.4 sbf since last weekend. There is a bug related to the battery reporting that I've noticed and from talking with other users here and at droid forums it doesn't seem to be an isolated problem.
Could you guys that get the soak test check and see if your battery reporting changes when you reboot the phone?? Mine can change 10-20% with each reboot.
It's not a huge deal, but something that is annoying and if we point it out before the end of the soak test maybe we can get it fixed before the official release.
Hopefully, this is just an issue with the SBF and the OTA wont have any problems, but please check because thats a bug we could miss if we aren't paying attention.
Thanks guys

Pete's one click method didn't work for you? The kernel is the exact same as the leaked SBF build, could be slightly altered to kill root with the official update. I'd grab the SBF if you want the latest kernel + 2.3.4 rooted.

I've rebooted many times with the sbf and never noticed. Now on Eclipse 1.0 and haven't noticed either. When I come out of cwm and reboot my battery reads wrong...a couple reboots fixes it.
EDIT: Just rebooted and it's reading 10% higher than b4. First time I noticed it.

So what is the verdict on being able to root the ota version? Did it get patched or is rooting with Pete one click doable?

I've found it does it more when you wear down the battery some, it reliably does it for me after going from a full charge down to around 70%. After reboot it will jump back up to 80-90%.
Anyways, its just something to look for when doing the soak test. It'd be great if the OTA didn't have this issue.

Hi,
So two days ago I bought a razr, and It only took me 1 hour or 2 to softbrick it.
Anyway I can't do anything with it and so, I bought a new one.
(I'm selling the other one because I know with RSD Lite you can get it back on track but my win7 x86 hates RSD Lite and I don't want to mess up the phone even more).
So I'm very careful with the new one, and I was wondering, as it seemed unclear, what/which rom/kernel could I flash, that is (GB or ICS) stable and if possible, deodexed.
The phone is currently running 651.73.240.XT910.Rogers.en.CA , the android version is 2.3.5 , Baseband U_1C.76.03P , Ap flex version GAS_NA_SPYDERROGERS_P037 and A013.
In the about phone there is an update available for 651.167.3331 but I'm doing it atm because I don't want to go somewhere I would'nt be able to flash some roms or whatsoever !
So thanks in advance for your help,
Zyryck.
My first thought (and probably that of most others) is wait for ICS. Its literally a few days away. And as soon as its out, we will have custom roms by the bucket load. I am/was in the boat and currently running rooted stock 2.3.6 waiting patiently
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
You mean stock ICS will be available in a few days ?
If yes then I'll of course wait
(I mean, I'll be able to update it through about phone with rogers firmware?)
There are rumours of 12 june for ICS. I'd wait till that comes and goes. If no sign of update then ask the question again

Awkeye Thanks ! I updated to the last one available atm.
But I was wondering, am I safe to flash for exemple, the "Universal Adrenaline Shot" ?
I am new to installing ROMs and i have just finished installing ABSYM 1.0 on my droid razr. the razr is flashed to cricket wireless and is using gingerbread 2.3.6. i used safestrap to install the new rom, and 3g isnt working. the 3g is working just fine on my "unsafe rom" i pay $55 a month, and would like to use the safe rom as my primary rom. If there is a fix to the 3g issue. and if possible, mms... please post here! all suggestions will help.
If possible, post links as to where i can get updated for Droidthory's ROM - ABSYM v1.0. the links on droidrazr site aren't available anymore.
I was told by a friend that the 1.1 update fixes it. please help me find a link to the update
Thanks
You should do yourself a favor and upgrade to the ICS kernel, no one (tmk) is developing for GB anymore.

I believe you will have to flash stock GB back if you want to upgrade to ICS (and possibly JB, if you have a XT912) without hassles.
I suggest giving this thread a good read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840296
Look into the OTA sections for hassle-free upgrading.
That is, of course, assuming you have already tried going into the "About Phone" section and checked for updates to no avail.

you shoudn't flash an sbf file that is not the same as your current version. to update or not to update, that is entirely up to you. if yoh're satisfied with a gb os (2.3.x), don't upgrade. if you want ics (4.0 4) or jb (4.1.x-4.2.2), then update. just unlock the bootloader, root your phone, and enjoy

you could if you wanted, but most of the updated versions are available through the rom superthread thread in the development section. just be sure to pay attention to carrier specific roms if you chose to use one of them. and i did just see your post in another thread saying that you were on froyo. after seeing that, i would say yes, upgrade your phone to a better os. gb works great, ics and jb work well and will work better now that we have the new kernel, but expect bugs to be present, but they are still very usable roms
