Hi I just bought the Atrix 4G. I was using HTC Desire HD before. So when I got my Atrix first I installed the Gingerblur and rooted it successfully but after that I installed 2.3.4 and now it is not rooted and I can't install CWM Recovery also... When I tried to install CWM the fastboot screen gives me a error like stormgr partition: SOS... How am I going to solve this problem ?? thanks for everyone...

Do you have unlock bootloader? Everytime your boot it show up a tag upper left corner "Unlocked" ?
If the answer is YES, I can help you to install both root and cwm at once.
yes my phone is unlocked
-Edit: Actually I want to change my ROM to CherryBlur... but I wonder about the Hardbrick.. My rom is now 2.3.4 HKTW and do you think I can change my ROM to Cherry Blur safely??
If you are already unlocked flash the cwm recovery then the cherry blur rom. (same one I'm rocking).
Look in the development forum for both links.

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.

So I am rooted on gingerbread 2.3.4 using Pete's root tool. My question is do I have to be unlocked to install the Alien Rom I do have a CWM mod but its not the newest because from what here you have to be unlocked to install that as well
Yes you need to unlock

Yes you have to have an unlocked bootloader to load the newer roms on your phone

Thanks for the info and that sucks things were easier before I updated to gingerbread. Ok so if I unlock my bootloader and something goes wrong down the road can I restore it back to factory so it can be sent in for repairs
So I've read the instructions 10 times over for how to get from my current state to installing CM7.
Two questions:
Do I have to install a 2.3.4 SBF then unlock/root then install the rom? Or can I unlock my 1.8.3 and proceed to install CM7?
Second, in the IHOP thread, it seems I should be flashing the 2.3.4 SBF with pudding/root already included. But those links are down. Where can I download the needed SBF to flash?
Thanks!
Just flash the unlock SBF. you dont need to update.

Does it matter if I'm currently on greyblur and my phone thinks it's on the one before 1.8.3?

I have already successfully rooted, and attempted to flash CWM recovery from Rom Manager, but I am unable to get to recovery. I tried to unlock the bootloader with RDS Lite flashing derpunlock from the puddin forum, not the 2.3.5, but it failed

Need to use the boot strap recovery, MOTODX_Bootstrap_Signed.apk. Its based off Clockwork. Make sure you only try to flash locked roms though. If you try and flash anything not supported your more than likely going to be on my boat... Softbricked. I was a flashaholic with my Evo, now im a bricked bum looking for light...
Look in Lokifish Mars Sticky on all thing Mopho. It has links to everything you will need in it.
No you cannot flash a custom recovery on a locked bootloader.

I'm in the same boat. I just got a used Photon and it already had the 2.3.5 (45.4.13 254_13) ROM on it. I got it rooted successfully at least, but get the error when trying to install the DERPUNLOCK.SFB file.
Any solutions out there yet? Can the unit be SBF-ed back to 198_7 and then the bootloader unlocked?
(I'm sorry if this is a redundant question, but I haven't found a clear answer and have searched the forums extensively!)
THANKS!

Your only real option is mof2.3.5 unless you want to run a rom that is not supported anymore ie imperium, rocko, skinny. Mofs rom is damn good though. Give it a shot and see what you think.
If your on 2.3.4 go with mofo2.3.5ish if your on 2.3.5, don't flash any roms locked or unlocked. Just be happy your phone works!
The reason being is because will the roms are based on 2.3.4 and since 2.3.5 locked bootloader, anything 2.3.4 based will cause you to soft brick, with no sprint sbf to fall back on. Peetr and mo are actively working on a working sbf for those who are on USC electrify sbf.

Signed boot.img with its modules is needed to install after each locked rom.
Don't want to sound like a n00b, but where would those be in the ROM threads? I'm so used to HTC's phones, so going to this Photon makes me feel like I'm starting from scratch...

Actually nowhere yet. You need to wait.

Any progress on unlocking the bootloader on the OTA 253_13 build?
Still curious about being able to sbf downgrade to 254_7...
And info GREATLY appreciated.
Hi,
I recently stucked at the Motorola Startup logo. So I reflashed the full sbf for 2.5.4_13 and installed the stock rom as per the peetr_ 's guide.
1)Flash this SBF (http://d-h.st/XGJ). Now you'll have stock 2.3.5 for Electrify. But you need Sprint services (I assume), so you don't stop here.
2) Download bootstrap from DroidX2 forum, and get it working. Of course you need to root your photon first.
3) Flash this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30332325) from bootstrap. Please follow the instructions for this ROM carefully, you don't wanna flash the SBF again.
4) Flash 254_13 modules (http://d-h.st/aAi) with bootstrap. you need them.
5) Flash 2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image sbf (http://d-h.st/TeB) with RSD Lite.
6) Flash 254_12 libmoto_ril.so (http://d-h.st/BmX) with bootstrap. You don't need to flash the radio SBF.
4) and 6) is not needed, if you install rom 3)

I have just followed the Steps 1,2,and 3 and my phone is working fine. Do I need to go for Step 5. Is it mandatory. My GSM radios are working fine, except I think WiFi and 4G stopped working.
Yes you need the boot image for wifi and 4g to work properly.

Ohhh.. thanks peetr_ .. actually i have downloaded it couple of weeks ago.. so can't recognized the actual developer . I was confused between Loki and Mof...:victory: Thanks..
Any Idea on locked BL roms except the two already running on XDA forums. Mean to say other than the De-bloated / De-blurred Stock ROMS.
