I want to update my atrix to the official gingerbread from ATT, but I'm scared I might brick my phone. I modified the files to use the webtop over hdmi, but I can't find the old ones. I don't even know if it is necessary to replace these files with the originals. Can someone please help me with this?

Factory reset on 4.1.83 then do the update to gingerbread.

Flash to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072 then upgrade.
DO NOT flash back after you upgrade the official OTA... or you will hardbrick the phone.

Hey guys just got the update and don't really notice anything different. I want to get a xoom wi fi only and need my tethering back. Will a factory reset remove this latest update or is there another way to do it?

no, flash the stock SBF if you want to get back to normal.
truly, that would work to get back to normal, to rooted to updated with sideloading capabilities??
Where do i find a stock SBF (1.2.6)?

Hi, i have the screen always on motorola logo... this is a hard brick? I can put right my phone?
TY
No your just stuck in a boot loop. If you have cwm you can try a factory reset, or flash an sbf if your on an att atrix. Not sure if there is an sbf for other versions.

Do not do it if you flashed the 2.3.4 update or you will have a hard brick. I would recommend starting from 1.2.6 so you can root.

i have this problem after the installation of
[ROM] AT&T 4.5.91 ★ Gingerbread 2.3.4 ★ Beta #4
If you flashed kenns rom you should be ok flashing an sbf I think it would only brick if you used the other method. If you can get into recovery I would recommend just flashing kenns rom again though should fix it

I had that problem I realized it wasn't working because I downloaded the wrong cwm... I had an older version make sure u get the one by the screen shot that says 6/30 or it'll brick. No it isn't hard brick what I did was flash hktw with moto-fastboot and from there I installed gingerbread beta 4 and its flawless it took a lot of help from xda team but I love it I thought id extend my help

I think i might have been one of the dumb ones to do the .zip flash of the BETA #3 gingerbread update. I searched and noticed the only way to go back to 2.2 was to unlock 1st. the question is when the official moto 2.3.4 comes out will i be able to update to that version without any issues via OTA?
I know some maybe running soak versions which may prevent them from reverting back to 2.2 as well. So do you guys think moto or the devs will figure a way for those that didn't root/unlocked before doing the update.zip to start recieving OTAs?
If ur on kens beta going back to stock will work and stock is the way you'll get the ota until it comes out as an sbf to flash

I'm not on kens. i did the update i believe before kens was available. is there a way to go through kens route since i'm already on the stock 2.3.4?
If you flashed the stock OTA that was leaked, you risk bricking when flashing back.
Moto's OTA is designed to prevent backwards flashing.
I believe they found a way through pudding look on kens roms thread and there should be a link on how ti do so if nit there go to the calling all hardbricks post and do the steps there to prevent bricking

lol dunno
i bought my atrix off of ebay, rooted and unlocked the bootloader, then messed up with gingerblur. maybe it was because i had the lastest updates installed on the atrix?

You were supposed to flash through the system recovery app's recovery, but anyways back to your question. If you follow directions on how to do things im sure you'll be fine off, as of now the only way to hardbrick is to sbf back when you have the ota installed,

Are you sure that your old atrix is hardbricked? Sounds like it would be more of a softbrick unless your old atrix had Gingerbread. Eitherway, it sounds fixable.

Depends, did you take the OTA or did you install a custom rom to get to 2.3.4. If you took the OTA and you weren't rooted before I don't know if you can go back. The HTC unlocker method of rooting will not let you install a kernel so I don't believe you will be able to flash a 2.3.3 rom since it will require an compatible kernel.
If your on 2.3.4 taking the ota then there is no way to go back to 2.3.3

Then u should be good to go. Just remember when you take the ruu method you will loose everything
