Take me back please - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I thought I been wearing my xda big boy pants long enough,so I dug deep to get my ATRIX running 2.3.4. I got root,recovery,and flashed the zip. It bootlooped. I had no backup (I know I know) so I had to manually flash it using cmd and fastboot. Now I cannot obtain root access. I want to go back to complete stock 1.83 I think it is? Any advice for my inner noob?

You said "I flashed the zip" the link you just send it is GB by moto-fastboot way (flashing system and boot images) the reason I am asking is BECAUSE if you flashed GB leaked OTA by android recovery with update.zip file, this change everything and YOU CAN NOT RSD ANY MOTOROLA SBF, so can you explain what zip did you flashed?

That's everything minus the stock unlocked one. So I uploaded here.

For anyone that needs it.
the reason why it was removed is we have stock sbf's that will relock you, derpunlock is only a few mb's and therefore more of a practical solution. for example my one click root could make everyone download a pre-rooted system.img @ ~200MB's and flash that via fastboot or i can have yall download an exploit and a script
Oh. Okay. Gotcha Man.

System/app files

Hello everyone,
I've put myself between a rock and a hard place. I made the mistake of deleting some of the stock system apps (bloat) vs. making them .bak files. Now, when I go to try and update OTA, it always fails. What should I do? Is there any place I can find the stock apps + odex files? (US Verizon LTE Version)
Thanks!

Flash it right over what I have now, and they'll all be back??
If so, thanks a million!
That's the one. Even leaves your data intact. Pretty neat, I thought.

Okay, sorry for all of the questions, but do I just flash this through CWM using bootstarap?
Nope - you flash it through fastboot mode using RSD Lite from a Windows PC.

Cwm offical support

CWM added photon as supported device. I flashed cwm via app and now my recovery is all blurry. I don't know what's going on with it. Any one else please post ur finds. Can still navigate using volume buttons. If yours is like that just remember the top option is reboot device. It should reboot just fine.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Do you have a Photon or Electrify (not that that should make a difference)? Were you able to reflash the working version you had before?
Sorry I don't have any answers, but this does interest me. Might want to make/move thread to General Q&A or Devolopment as I wouldn't think this is a themeing question (plus you might not get many views in Themeing).

I can confirm that flashing cwm via rom manager makes cwm blurry and skewed, but otherwise operational.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Fix. Reflash cwm zip via rom manager.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Well I'm getting a "Failed to boot 2" error now when I try to boot into recovery.
Reflash 5.0.2.7 in moto-fastboot mode.

Hey has anyone had problems flashing Rom with the CWM clockworkmod. I tried to install one of joker new CM9 rom and it wont boot. So I tries to wipe everything but that didn't work either. So I flash the old ,zip file for cwm and it flash the rom for me then.

Blurry CWM after udate

I updated to the latest version of CWM on my Photon and all of a sudden my Recovery is blurry running version 5.0.2.7. Has anyone else had these problems? Or found a solution?
I posted same in app and theme section
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I see three options for Photon which did you pick do we don't pick same one or can try other two to see which works also are you unlocked stock cm7 sorry for the 20 questions just want to be sure
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
bump.
Do I need to go all the way back to stock and re-root/unlock?
I just flashed cwm zip via ROM manager and it fixed issue
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Same here blurry recovery after using ROM manager emailed Dev hopefully gets sorted out thats probably what description meant by generic support meaning in other words not fully working yet lol
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I used cmd and flashed .img file from scratch; everything works again. I'm sure a update is probably on the way until then I'll wait. I think jokerax11 is updating cm9 today hopefully to beta keeping.

How do you flash it through rom manager? I'm trying to help my brother out in another state so I can't do it for him. I did mine through fastboot so I haven't messed with rom manager yet.
just have him search xda for cwm 5.0.2.7 its a zip file so he can flash from the app.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Actually ...ummmm. That didn't work once I tried it.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
i went all the way back to stock to be safe. but now all is well i just wont update it
Yeah...just had to reflash the CWM using the fastboot cmd method...I'd really like to try the CWM Touch Recovery once availble..that'd be SIIICK..

Can you accept OTA with root and s-off ?

Noob question. Can you accept the ota with s-off or will it cause issues or possible brick? I haven't had my tbolt very long and it was already modified when I bought it.

You can accept it, but then you will lose root.

Ok, yea kinda figured that. Thank you for the reply. The ota is live because I just checked and its ready to download

If your ROM was developed, ummm, "properly", it should have OTA updating disabled. Of course, not all are...

Yea it has been disabled on the Rom I'm running, I was just curious if it would cause problems if I took the update. I'm still learning the ins and outs of rooting. But I understand what your saying, I've seen some time that the ota push was not disabled.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
I believe it will fail at the bootloader stage when it encounters a non-stock recovery.
I'm running stock n all I did was flash stock recovery via boot loader then download n install the ota, then flash cwm recovery via bootloader then flash the su zip then boom rooted ota

Googling stock recovery did nothing for me. I loaded killa sense 3.7, flashed the ota enable zip, but no luck. Error. I guess that elusive stock recovery is needed.
