I have a rooted Atrix on Official at&t 2.3.4 OTA.
bootloader locked
webtop unavailable.
I read you can flash gingerbread on top of this OTA? is this true?
can I use rsd to flash back to a clean copy of gingerbread or will I hard brick?
please point me to the correct thread....
Me too
I want to know too.. Except mine is unlocked and rooted on Stock GB
Can I "Clean Format" GB
If you're on 2.3.4 OTA then you're on gingerbread. What are you wanting to do?

SO if I flash the leaked 2.3.4 on top of my OTA 2.3.4 with RSD it wont brick? I'm guessing itll just reinstall?
Edit: All I want to know is if I can flash the leaked version on top of the OTA withou bricking so this way I can unlock the BL and get some ROMS....I just dont want to end up using RSD to flash 2.3.4 and end up with a paper weight

Anyone know if you can using pudding after using the OTA 4.5.91 ATT Gingerbread update?
A lot of bricking going on so I didn't want to flash anything without verifying first.
Otherwise does anyone know if you can regain root with the locked bootloader?

Yes, I used pudding afterwards, but preinstall method works on locked BL. Bell users have used it
Yep just what jruweaver said. Preinstall flash works great. Rooted and locked rocking 4.5.91.

Jruweaver,
Im am on stock OTA 2.3.4 via update.zip in android recovery.
Not rooted, nor have I ever run any pudding/unlock flash.
Am I stuck on OTA? Concerned because I don't want to RSD flash and hard brick.

Did you look at the thread talking about the ota update? At the bottom ofbthe original post it has links telling you how to unlock the bootloader and how to root.

You can now only use the sbf's that have been custom made with pudding otherwise you will hard brick.

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

what if i just want to get the offcial ota when it is released. would i still be in luck or still need to unlock and root?
Hi,
I want to unlock the bootloader, but in the n00b guide everything is for 2.3.4
I am in 2.2.2 (4.2.11.retail.en.FR) and I tried to update in the settings but it told me that my device is updated.
So, how can i update to 2.3.4? I want to updated with the Stock Gingerbread Rom via fastboot. But i need to have the bootloader unlocked....
How can I do it?
Thank you
You should be able to flash any sbf. Seeing as how the only way you brick is by going backwards. Look on that forum again and there is a link to a seperate website which will tell you how to do it on either version.

A question, let's say I'm on 2.3.4 OTA and I want to flash a 2.2 (1.8.3) ROM, Can I use use fruitcakes 1.8.3 to get to 2.2 and flash a 2.2 (Greyblur) ROM over it?
Come on guys I cant find the answer!
Yep. But why would you want to?

Use "Fruit Cake" only. Downgrade to 2.2 from 2.3.4 using RSD could hard brick your phone. There's a sticky in the development section. Read that.
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?
