[Q] Safest way to flash back to stock (froyo) from cherryblur? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

anyway.....my adb ability and fastboot ability has mysteriously disappeared
ever since I started using cherryblur (V0.4d IIRC)
the dev (navalyt) suggested me to sbf or flash back to stock.
whats currently the safest way for me to go back to froyo?
cheers

Use a froyo CWM fruit cake. Wipe before and after.
If all else fails, flash a 2.3.4 sbf with pudding.

If fruit capes fail then use RSD to flash gingerbread and pudding right?

IF you have cherryblur that means you are unlocked..
probably you have and news tenfar port of CWM or the official via Rom Manager..
right?
i think cherryblur is only by cwm flashable and not fastboot(no need to)
so.. the safest way.. is CWM zips..
make a backup of what you are right now..
and then flash a fruit cake of froyo.. or maybe an old backup if you had before you went on 2.3 ..
AVOID sbf's..
If the contain bootloader stuff, you are screwed!

Fruit cake shouldn't fail. It should flash without problems. I meant, if fruit cake doesn't fix your problem, only THEN use RSD to flash 2.3.4 sbf with pudding. (You are unlocked, right?)

cheerio, I'll give it a shot tonight

heya dudes
sorry to revive thsi thread
tried to use a froyo fruit cake to flash back to froyo...BUT in the middle of flashing the zip it popped up a warning "noob check: build prop...olyATT" or something along those lines.
is that because my build prop is showing the french version of the atrix instead? cherryblur 1.3 is based on the france ROM...soo editing the build prop shoudl fix my problem?

yes and yes
+1 above just for encouragement. Only rom that can lead to bricking if you aren't careful is the stock leaked rom. Well, i should say only one that has a known brick issue if you mess around with going back to an older sbf. I guess you can brick with any rom but ken's is safe.

[Q] flash att 2.3.4 over HKTW?

I am still on the older HKTW 2.3.4 and now that the newer ATT leaked 2.3.4 is out there i would like to know the best way to flash it? And by best i mean safest . I know there have been a lot of bricked atrix's, so any help is greatly appreciated!
Additional info:
I have installed Clockwork recovery
I have rooted it
Thanks
The best way is to use Ken's cwm zip. The danger is in updating using the orange pulled from moto servers and then trying to sbf back to an earlier build.
Ken's rom and Dorian's red pill rom are both fantastic.
Edit: This assumes you have the unlocked CWM, which I would guess is the case since you are on HKTW.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
so can i just flash dorians redpill over my hktw 2.3.4, because he says you can do it if you are already on 2.3.4 but i am not sure if it will only work if you are on Kenns 2.3.4. WOuld the safest method be to flash back to 1.8.3, then unlock the bootloader and flash back to kenns 2.3.4 then to dorians redpill?

[Q] Returning to Stock

Hi ive searched all forum and i hope im not being repetitive... is there a way to come back to stock 1.8.3 from gingerblur without flashing with rsdlite? i already hardbricked one atrix so im afraid of the rsdlite tool :S
I just want to remove gingerblur and come back to motoblur
If you're on ginger blur the pseudo rom then the back to stock zip in the themes and. Apps section will do if u are on gingerbread the zip rsd will be fine if u are on ota gingerbread then follow the pudding guide

ya no prob the way to stay away from a hard brick is to stay away from the ota 2.3.4 the roms developed in the dev section are pretty safe

Question about bootstrap

Is bootstrap recovery the same as clockwork recovery? Are they one and the same?
Also I'm on kernal 2.3.4 do I have to do anything special if I want to load a 2.3.5 rom?
Sorry I'm new to playing around with motorola phones.
I thought they were the same when I first started hacking my phone. But it turns out they are not the same.
As for updating your phone to 2.3.5, if you are on stock 2.3.4, all you need to do is root your phone, install bootstrap recovery and flash the 2.3.5 ROM using bootstrap recovery.
There is a nice guide someone put together in the dev. Section.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Basically, yes - those recoveries a almost the same. They are both used in the same way, which is to backup/restore, wipe data and flash a ROM. So there's no real difference.
As for the 2.3.4 kernel. SOME people can get away with flashing a 2.3.5 based ROM on their 2.3.4, others can't. Either way, I'd recommend just updating to 2.3.5 to safe. Plus (to me), 2.3.5 seems smoother and faster.
To Update to 2.3.5, just download the update.zip from here: http://www.multiupload.com/0ZT7FTOW0R
This is just the update file, so all you need to do is flash that, but I won't get into much about that.
If you need a guide on updating it, then you can look at this one right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391824
That's the one I used.
Ok so I'm currently on Molten 2.2 wich is a 2.3.4 romand was looking at liberty rom wich is 2.3.5 rom. So all I would need to do is just clear the needed data and flash it like any other rom?
The reason for asking about if it was clockwork was because in one of the roms the instructions says to use clockwork and I never saw a like to clockwork in the dev section
Yes I looked in the stickies first and these were just the questions that popped up that I didn't see the answer to it. I may have just over looked it but I figured I would ask before I borked my phone lol
looks like while I was writing a responce some one answered lol thank you all for your help
U don't need to root to install 2.3.5
It is signed by moto so we can flash in stock recovery
(actually that's how you SHOULD FLASH 2.3.5)
And our BSR is a hacked/ported cwm
To update to 2.3.5 you WILL need to be STOCK (you CAN be rooted but it will take away root when u flash it....just root again with zergrush...)

Just so you know, Liberty is a 2.3.4 rom. Have a look at the OP in that thread. If you're on Molten, just wipe data and cache and you should be set.

[Q] completely stock 2.3.6 ROM anywhere??

So many threads that I cannot find it. I am currently unlocked on nottachtrix 1.2.9b but it keeps restarting my phone randomly so I want to flash a completely stock ROM, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks guys!
searching dev forum returned this list of firmwares http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944. Find your country/carrier and go for it.
As an alternative, I have used Aura (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186990) and was better than stock for me and includes webtop.
If you feel adventurous again, try miui-us V4 2.3.16 also in the dev forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383721).
Hope I was able to help
Check the Fruitcake thread, stock roms are there.

You said your atrix is unlocked (or are you on Atrix2 since you mention Supercharged A2?), then root, install romracer's cwm for atrix and use cwm to reset, clear data and cache, then flash a rom of your choice.
All available in the dev section.

I don't have any issues with 1.29b. Maybe flash romracers recovery, do a complete wipe, and flash 1.29b directly.

Downgrading the version risk bricking. I soft bricked mine when I went from 2.3.6(prior to a few ROMs) to 2.3.4.
I would:
Fastboot -w
RSD Lite flash 2.3.6 from //sites.google.com/site/motosbf/atrix-sbf-files (Sorry, I don't have enough posts to be allow to make links)
I found this on one of the topics here:
//dropbox.com/s/eps7ldsn9n5sqlc/At%26t 236-45-141_deodexed.zip
copy after // because I can't post links.
I'm yet to try it on my Atrix but will do very soon

i have statusbar issues with that one...
I fixed the restarts by flashing the 2.3.6 sbf (not pudding), and I left it like that... no more unlock since I believe that was the issue. Every ROM I tried had the same results

Yes. You can download the 2.3.6 fruitcake from fruitcake backup thread and flash via CWM. Then the 2.3.6 webtop and flash via CWM. Remember to perform a full wipe first.
