Hey guys i am using atrix from at&t and was using custom rom but i want to go back to stock one.So,can anyone plz help me and i have unlocked my atirx but if i flash to stock rom will i have to unlock it again or not.
some problem here, already unlocked my 1.83 att. but i am afraid to flash with stock 1.83 because from what i read it could break the phone, is it true?
anyone can help?
the first thing to do both of you check where you are and indeed what you applied before so follow this:
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
IT IS CONFIMED YOU WILL BRICK YOUR UNIT IF YOU RSD ANY MOTOROLA SBF
Here it is an explanation of this:
10000000000010001000100004000
4= BL "unlock" did you ever unlock you BL with pudding?
0= BL lock
10000000000010001000100004000
1=NO UPDATE BL TO AP20 Ver. , so you applied GB by moto-fastboot process or by CDW
3=YOU HAVE A NEW BL AP20 Ver., so you indeed applied GB OTA by Android Recovery from the sdcard
so in other words the ones we are in "confirmed" brick land if we RSD any MOTOROLA SBF are the ones with "3"

I reviewed all the threads but can't resolve the information I need to plan next step!
I want to revert back to stock since I am experiencing battery drain (I believe).
I did not root or unlock before using the OTG (thumbdrive) method for insrtalling the OTA 4.5.91 zip.
After finding out that was ill advised I did not unlock and left unrooted. I have been out of town and can't backtrack throught the threads to determine what is the best course.
Is there a concise thread for my situation?
Thanks in advance

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

Yes it is safe to root. I am on 4.5.91 and can't flash back. I un locked rooted and installed CWM. With no issues. Wouldnt use .sbf flashes though.

I am on KP's 4.5.91 beta 3...........When I look at this file I have :
10000000000010001000100004000
Now KP's version of 4.5.91 is supposed to be safe to flash back and go ahead with Moto updates. If I follow what you are saying, it cannot be done?

Status
1. Locked and rooted phone
2. I ran 1.2.6 sbf with RSD to return to a stock build
3. I unrooted phone
4. I ran OTA 1.8.3
5. I ran the Motorola Build 4.5.91 "not KP's" with Motorola cable from update.zip through USB flash drive
6. "Stopped Here" this is my current state
Unfortunately I did not use KP's version, and I don't know how to check for blown fuses since I haven't rooted and did not flash pudding "stopped after flashing OTA for fear of bricking" . I believe I have read that some have installed pudding from my current state to with a recoverable softbrick and then used fast booted flashing img of 1.8.3.
can anybody verify doing this safely? Sorry if this thread is repetitive but there is much confusion in here and I was gone two days from the forum when this all was taking place.
Much appreciated.
JiminSD I recommend you to root first by preinstall method first so you can check first the "fuses" to make sure how to proceed. To do the root you DO NOT need to be "unlock". If you need help just tell and I can guide you for the root process

Yes, I unlocked with pudding following the instructions here ---> http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader, and yes I did flash KP's 4.5.91 and not the OTA.
Thanks for the clarification. Much appreciated!
So you are in the group of the lucky ones that actually can RSD "full" 1.83 or 1.57
The only thing you will lost the tag "unlocked" at the startup, so to get it back just RSD pudding again
I think you are asking this to return you phone to "stock" to be able to received the official OTA from moto/att right?

I am thinking about it, but I may let some other brave souls try first, as I believe it will cause the issues the current leaked OTA has caused. My phone runs great at the moment on KP's 4.5.91.
Prior to this, I flashed back a couple of times on 4.1.83 and did what you said to get "unlocked" back on my boot screen. I think everyone is more or less worried about what the actual release version of GB might do if you are unlocked already.
I am in same situation as OP. From private discussions and reading different threads it seems that I can go from stock 2.3.4 OTA (no mods) with a locked bootloader to anything if I just use the small unlock/pudding followed by fastboot unlock commands and fastboot install cwm....then fruitcakes or any rom should be good to go. But im waiting for GB to go fully public....just gonna enjoy 2.3.4 for now until everything is all sorted out.

Agree. I think the first things to do when the real OTA is out is actually compare with the leak one, so at least we have an idea how to proceed.
Good Luck!

Sorry but this is NOT TRUE:
"I can go from stock 2.3.4 OTA (no mods) with a locked bootloader to anything "
Anything in this case mean: NEED TO UNLOCK BL, NEED TO APPLIED ANY ROM BY CWM OR MOTO-FASTBOOT WAY
But here it is the CONs: UNTIL TODAY IF YOU APPLIED THE LEAK STOCK GB YOU CAN NOT RSD ANY MOTOROLA SBF, THAT MEAN INCLUDED GB SBF BECAUSE IS NOT OUT THERE YET, SO YOU NEVER WILL GET BACT TO "REAL" STOCK OR BE SURE 100% YOU CAN RECEIVED IN THE FUTURE ANY OTA DIRECTLY FROM MOTO/ATT IS NOT BEEN TESTED YET

Good clarification mrramirez.
My bad...should not have carelessly said "any". If ur on OTA 2.3.4 just stay put, and stay away from moto sbf

Thanks to all my question has been answered. I will stay put and not install any sbf's regardless of source until the new OTA is studied by developers.
Hello Atrix users! I recently just received this phone about a week ago and have rooted, unlocked the bootloader and also flashed the cwm. Now, whenever I try to update via OTA or sd card I get an error stating that the update has failed. I'm very new to Android phones and I was wondering what the procedure for updating would be? BTW I'm on 1.8.3
Thanks a lot
first of all i dont think your suppose to rsd or ota after you have unlocked the BL you have to flash GB through moto-fastboot or fastboot when u have GB on your external SD and run the commands through a command window, GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND and so is XDA just a do a search and you should find wat your looking for,
wat i have done is i was already on 1.8.3 and unlocked the BL, but i forgot to root the phone, and i couldnt root idk why, so i had to use the aroot method(do quick search on it) which had me rsd back to 1.2.6 then reboot, after that the words UNLOCKED where gone, so i think rsd back to 1.2.6 either took the unlock away or just got rid of the words and BL was still unlocked idk, but any way did a wi-fi ota update to 1.5.7 than ran afterupdate.bat and it retained the root, then just ran the unlock again with rsd rebooted and the words unlocked were back, but im not on 1.8.3, idk if i should try to ota to it, or rsd back to the beginning which is 1.2.6 and just ota all the way to the offical newest update of gingerbread then unlock the bl again and do the preinstall root method, thats where im stuck at,
That seems like a ton of work just for the OTA. I unlocked my boot loader and flash the cherry blur rom (v.1.4) this was the easiest way I have found to get 2.3.3 on my phone and without blur over taking the interface.

from wat i have read you should be good with wat ever u do with rsd or flashing back to a stock rom AS LONG AS YOU HAVENT UPDATED TO THE NEWEST OTA UPDATE SENT TO YOU OTA BUT IF YOU HAVE ACCEPTED THE OTA UPDATE YOU WILL HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE IF U TRY FLASHING BACK TO A STOCK LIKE 1.2.6 i think that is how it goes from wat i have read
Ok here is the case.
I have couple of AT&T atrix here which belongs to friends. I am going to point down what is the current situation so someone out there help / warn me before I do something stupid.
1. I had unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phones and enabled sideloading on 1.8.3
2. OTA was flashed on these phones as soon as it was made available.
3. I received no warning or failed update. The update was successful and phone booted fine into gingerbread.
4. New bootloader was flashed hence I lost the Unlocked bootloader.
Now this is what I plan to do.
1 Use pudding to unlock the bootloader again.
2. I have seen people who get soft brick when they do this on OTA which is recoverable.
Now my question is, can i directly flash the new 2.3.4 SBF which is pudding + root + unlocked bootloader using RSD?
If yes, can I install latest CWM after I flash the new combined SBF using RSD. I know I can recover from soft brick by unlocking bootloader and flashing the SBF again as it goes back to fastboot after softbrick ( i recovered mine from soft brick couple of days back ). Just wanted some clarification regarding this particular situation.
I am not exactly a noob, but there are conflicting responses when I tried to search this. Thanks in advance,
Also can someone tell me where to check the status of efuse on atrix (location, original value and modified value to expect in case of blown fuse). All phones are rooted. So wanted to check if I have blown any fuse or not.
can i flash back to stock 4.5.91 to to unroot the phone. do i just put the .zip on my sd card and flash using clockworkmod
also curious
Same question.
I was previously on GB that was pushed to me OTA. I got bored and rooted, unlocked, and flashed Ken's Alien not thinking about the consequences of not being able to revert to stock thanks to previous root methods like Gingerblur and SBF that made it so easy. I want to get my work email back on my phone, but cannot if I am rooted.
Will flashing a 1.8.3 Fruitcake and then OTA to GB brick me? I've looked everywhere and am still noobiously confused.
Anyone know how to unroot w/unlocked bootloader? Is it possible?

"GB that was pushed to me OTA" so you are indeed has the new bootloader so you only way to downgrade will be moto-flash or CWM to 1.83
But why you dont try to download MOTO official SBF 2.3.4/4.5.91 and RSD this the only OFFICIAL MOTO SBF you can RSD with GB new bootloader
the following procedure will bring you device to out-of-the-box state with GB 2.3.4/4.5.91
First have a backup because you phone will be complete clean after this so remove external sd card
1. First format internal sdcard by settings->storage->internal sdcard->format
2. Turn off the phone and press VOL DOWN while your turn ON your phone
3. Wait until "fastboot" tag show up release VOL DOWN and now PRESS VOL UP once to enter to fastboot
4. Now you in fastboot mode "Starting fastboot......."
5. Now go to command windows box (CMD)
(You need moto-fastboot to perform this and you need to be in the same folder where is located moto-fastboot)
moto-fastboot erase boot
moto-fastboot erase system
moto-fastboot erase webtop
moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot erase userdata
moto-fastboot erase cache
moto-fastboot erase preinstall
just to make sure everythings is wipe
moto-fastboot -w
after this
moto-fastboot reboot (at the same time press VOL UP and hold until show up "Starting RSD......"
Now start RSD and select the official moto GB 2.3.4/4.5.91 SBF (you can find a copy in dev forum, stickie under the thread of all the SBF's, make sure you chose 2.3.4/4.5.91)
Press start and what until reboot and RSD show up PASS in the status...
This the manual way to do it... and you are 100% you wipe everything...
The other one is doing MSU (motorola software update) and run all the process (in the background what it do is RSD the service SBF of GB 2.3.4/4.5.91) after it finish you can go back an do a factory default restore, inside settings in Android OS
Thanks. I thought about using moto software update, but wasn't sure if it would work. Same with RSD. I just don't wanna brick, but since I won't be RSD downgrading I probably shouldn't be all that worried.

Does this go for stock locked bootloaders as well. You mentioned you were unlocked. All that I have done on my atrix is root currently. Not to crazy to unlock yet. I'm on the OTA 4.5.91. Have alot of random reboot issues lately and considering this process!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the info. I used your fastboot wipe and RSD'd suggeations to SBF. Now my phone appears to be stock. It no longer says unlocked at boot and is not rooted. Exactly what I was looking for.
My first try of using the 183 fruitcake and then OTA update didn't work due to CWM still being there. It may have worked if I had first flashed the stock recovery. I didn't try that.
Thanks again for your assistance!

If you previously installed the OTA update, it should be fine to flash this if locked as well. Its just installing the same software but without root.
The problems after the OTA update happen if you flash a SBF older than gingerbread.
It was the unlocked part of my situation that had me concerned. I haven't messed with bootloaders until this week and was confused and nervous about how that would come into play. If I hadn't unlocked, I wouldn't have hesitated as much to flash the official GB SBF to unroot.

Ok about to get a atrix from att! So i need to understand some stuff. IVE SEARCHED
So if you unlock the bootloader you can never sbf back to i guess a froyo build using sbf?(1.83 is froyo i guessing) if you get the phone with GB build on it?
Reading the Automatic bootloader thread i see this on the OP Main Post:
* CONFIRMED, IS SAFE TO RSD THIS SPECIFIC SBF FROM MOTOROLA:
1FF-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011.sbf

SHA1: e00786e975b4f1d9fba2ff90c1ee6bbf95bb47b2
SO NOW ON FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER USERS THIS CAN BE A BASE IF SOMETHING GO WRONG AND YOU NEED OUT OF THE BOX STATE FROM MOTOROLA
Need to be flash with RSDlite V5.3.1
Now lets say that the phone i get from att, will be on froyo. Do i need to:
go to system updates and install OTA GB build
Then follow the automatic bootloader thread?
Then i see this thread talking about something different on my searches?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138204
Any clarification will be thanked!
Phone will most likely come with Gingerbread. If not, OTA update, then unlock bootloader. Once you unlock the bootloader, on gingerbread, do not try to flash a eariler sbf version. First of all there is no need. Secondly, you can brick your device by doing it. If you ever want to return to a stock Gingerbread ROM after unlocking bootloader, you can flash a fruitcake... but your bootloader would still be unlocked.
