So I have my phone unlocked and rooted. If I have to return my phone for whatever reason, how do I get "Unlocked" to remove from the boot screen? Is that even possible? Currently running 4.5.91
When you SBF back to 1.2.6 or 157 or 183 it will remove it but if you used
the OTA then DONT FLASH A SBF!
Read Around there is a bunch of stuff on the dev fourms on how to go back
the proper way please I stress read read and read again before you do anything.
Ya I definitely know not to sbf to an older since I did the OTA update. Can I safely sbf to the official 4.5.91 release?

Read through both threads. Still unsure if it's safe to flash either SBF and if it's going to remove "Unlock" during the boot. Right now I'm on the OTA update (so can't downgrade) and unlocked.

the first SBF (the 4.5.91 with pudding baked in) definitely won't take out Unlock since it's with unlock in there already.
Stock SBF can potentially take out "Unlock", but I don't think anyone's determined whether it is safe to flash stock 4.5.91 sbf once you're OTA'd. I'm not planning to try : )

Thanks for the input. Well, so far I've read that I can't downgrade. Not sure if flashing the stock 4.5.91 sbf is considered a downgrade. I'm thinking not. Maybe I'll try and see what happens.

I reviewed all the threads but can't resolve the information I need to plan next step!
I want to revert back to stock since I am experiencing battery drain (I believe).
I did not root or unlock before using the OTG (thumbdrive) method for insrtalling the OTA 4.5.91 zip.
After finding out that was ill advised I did not unlock and left unrooted. I have been out of town and can't backtrack throught the threads to determine what is the best course.
Is there a concise thread for my situation?
Thanks in advance
If you want to confirm your status, please adb, su, and "cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm" or just open the file in Root Explorer. If you see something like:
10000000000010001000300004000
Then you should NOT SBF anything from Motorola"
If you want to post your ReservedOdm to look and see if you will be fine to SBF 1.83 again
Probably you are safe if you actually installed Kenth by CDW or moto-fastboot (boot.img and system.img)
But if you actually run the update.zip or any update trought the normal android recovery screen and if you saw the following legend "updating AP20 bootloader" in that case you CAN NOT flash any SBF from Motorola

Status
1. Locked and rooted phone
2. I ran 1.2.6 sbf with RSD to return to a stock build
3. I unrooted phone
4. I ran OTA 1.8.3
5. I ran the Motorola Build 4.5.91 "not KP's" with Motorola cable from update.zip through USB flash drive
6. "Stopped Here" this is my current state
Unfortunately I did not use KP's version, and I don't know how to check for blown fuses since I haven't rooted and did not flash pudding "stopped after flashing OTA for fear of bricking" . I believe I have read that some have installed pudding from my current state to with a recoverable softbrick and then used fast booted flashing img of 1.8.3.
can anybody verify doing this safely? Sorry if this thread is repetitive but there is much confusion in here and I was gone two days from the forum when this all was taking place.
Much appreciated.
JiminSD I recommend you to root first by preinstall method first so you can check first the "fuses" to make sure how to proceed. To do the root you DO NOT need to be "unlock". If you need help just tell and I can guide you for the root process

Yes, I unlocked with pudding following the instructions here ---> http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader, and yes I did flash KP's 4.5.91 and not the OTA.
Thanks for the clarification. Much appreciated!
So you are in the group of the lucky ones that actually can RSD "full" 1.83 or 1.57
The only thing you will lost the tag "unlocked" at the startup, so to get it back just RSD pudding again
I think you are asking this to return you phone to "stock" to be able to received the official OTA from moto/att right?

I am thinking about it, but I may let some other brave souls try first, as I believe it will cause the issues the current leaked OTA has caused. My phone runs great at the moment on KP's 4.5.91.
Prior to this, I flashed back a couple of times on 4.1.83 and did what you said to get "unlocked" back on my boot screen. I think everyone is more or less worried about what the actual release version of GB might do if you are unlocked already.
I am in same situation as OP. From private discussions and reading different threads it seems that I can go from stock 2.3.4 OTA (no mods) with a locked bootloader to anything if I just use the small unlock/pudding followed by fastboot unlock commands and fastboot install cwm....then fruitcakes or any rom should be good to go. But im waiting for GB to go fully public....just gonna enjoy 2.3.4 for now until everything is all sorted out.

Agree. I think the first things to do when the real OTA is out is actually compare with the leak one, so at least we have an idea how to proceed.
Good Luck!

Sorry but this is NOT TRUE:
"I can go from stock 2.3.4 OTA (no mods) with a locked bootloader to anything "
Anything in this case mean: NEED TO UNLOCK BL, NEED TO APPLIED ANY ROM BY CWM OR MOTO-FASTBOOT WAY
But here it is the CONs: UNTIL TODAY IF YOU APPLIED THE LEAK STOCK GB YOU CAN NOT RSD ANY MOTOROLA SBF, THAT MEAN INCLUDED GB SBF BECAUSE IS NOT OUT THERE YET, SO YOU NEVER WILL GET BACT TO "REAL" STOCK OR BE SURE 100% YOU CAN RECEIVED IN THE FUTURE ANY OTA DIRECTLY FROM MOTO/ATT IS NOT BEEN TESTED YET

Thanks to all my question has been answered. I will stay put and not install any sbf's regardless of source until the new OTA is studied by developers.
I've seen many bricks around. and i want to know which ways currently so we can avoid the hard brick. Thanks
Simple once you unlock your bootloader & update to Gingerbread (2.3.4), DO NOT RSD flash a earlier .sbf (i.e. 1.8.3, 1.5.7 etc.). If you want to return to 1.8.3 after updating and unlocking, you can flash the fruitcake via CWM.... so pretty much stay away from RSD Lite and .sbf flashes after you unlock bootloader.
i've have the latest OTA update, that mean my phone bootloader is unlocked?

Don't have to unlock. If you OTA'd to 2.3.4, you can't downgrade via RSD.
Hey Everyone,
It seems that since the bootloader got unlocked, things with the atrix has skyrocketed and there is many things I'm unfamiliar with. I was unfamiliar back then too but managed to get a pseudo rom running.
Anyways, I need help going from a Greyblurred atrix to an updated Atrix with gingerbread , unlocked bootloader , and rooted.
It would be great if anyone could point me in the right direction.\
Thanks ahead of time!
Well I am assuming you are not unlocked, correct? also I will assume you have not done the OTA (Over The Air) update of gingerbread (2.3.5)..
First off, if none of the above has been done at all you need to go here, IHOP and read these directions over, and over, and over before you start to follow them and execute what they say..
after you do that, or if you need further clarification just write back here

Ahhh, school got super busy and still never got the chance to do this.
So it seems I can use RSDlite to just flash to an older sbf and go through the updates to the now 2.3.4 and then unlock from there and get CM7?
I don't need to back up any apps or anything so can I go straight to flashing SBF right over Greyblur?

as long as you've never done the OTA before, you can flash a froyo SBF and go back to stock that way.
there's also an unlocked bootloader for froyo in the pudding thread, you don't have to update to 2.3.4 to unlock and get CM7 (which is gingerbread anyways)
just go to the International House of Pudding thread in the dev section and read up on the right .sbf to flash to unlock your bootloader.

That's correct, I think I'm still on 1.8.3? Though because I'm running GreyBlur the phone thinks im on 1.5.3 or which ever was before 1.8.3
Ok about to get a atrix from att! So i need to understand some stuff. IVE SEARCHED
So if you unlock the bootloader you can never sbf back to i guess a froyo build using sbf?(1.83 is froyo i guessing) if you get the phone with GB build on it?
Reading the Automatic bootloader thread i see this on the OP Main Post:
* CONFIRMED, IS SAFE TO RSD THIS SPECIFIC SBF FROM MOTOROLA:
1FF-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011.sbf

SHA1: e00786e975b4f1d9fba2ff90c1ee6bbf95bb47b2
SO NOW ON FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER USERS THIS CAN BE A BASE IF SOMETHING GO WRONG AND YOU NEED OUT OF THE BOX STATE FROM MOTOROLA
Need to be flash with RSDlite V5.3.1
Now lets say that the phone i get from att, will be on froyo. Do i need to:
go to system updates and install OTA GB build
Then follow the automatic bootloader thread?
Then i see this thread talking about something different on my searches?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138204
Any clarification will be thanked!
Phone will most likely come with Gingerbread. If not, OTA update, then unlock bootloader. Once you unlock the bootloader, on gingerbread, do not try to flash a eariler sbf version. First of all there is no need. Secondly, you can brick your device by doing it. If you ever want to return to a stock Gingerbread ROM after unlocking bootloader, you can flash a fruitcake... but your bootloader would still be unlocked.

Hello to all
I receive an atrix 4g locked to at&t usa. I unlocked with a code, after i unlock the BL.
I install cwm and romracer and flash CM7(2.3.6) rom from sd.
After i flash Darkside(2.3.5) rom. Now i want to return back to stock.
I have some small problems, the soft keys light is very dimm and the wifi signal is very low compared with my previous iphone 4.
The question is: is it safe to flash 4.5.91(2.3.4) stock sbf with rsd?
I know that the other option are fruitcakes but i just want to know if i can flash this vers with rsd.
System version: 4.5.133.mb860.att.en.us
Android version 2.3.5

I read many threads about but i'm still in the "fog". I know that the answer is somewere on the forum and sorry for opening another thread.
Thanks a lot for understanding.
While it's not recommended to use RSDlite after unlocking the bootloader, it will work as long as you only use the 4.5.91 GB2.3.4 SBF (signed). I have done it twice but at my own risk of course.
If you need to return to stock you can flash the fruitcakes, which are stock files. This method is definitely recommended over sbf.

Will flashing the SBF via RSD re-lock the bootloader? I need to take my phone in for a warranty swap (hardware issue) and don't want them to know I unlocked the phone.
It will hide the "unlocked" text during boot but it does not actually re-lock the bootloader. But when you think about it, even though they never intended for the end user to unlock the phone (hence the encrypted/locked bootloader), they still put the warning in if/when anyone unlocked the bootloader. It's there for a reason but I doubt they will find out.

So yeah I was impatient and tried to flash it without waiting for a reply. It kept failing and then all I would get on my phone was "Failed to boot 4 Starting RSD Protocol".
I ended up having to re-flash pudding, which was an adventure in itself (upgrading RSD, rebooting computer, trying different USB ports & cables before it would finally take). I think I will just take it in tomorrow even with it saying "Unlocked" and see if they will swap it out. I'm having touch screen issues with intermittent dead spots and ghost touches.
Did you try the stock SBF with the same combination of port and cable as you did when you successfully flashed pudding? I've heard those two factors can cause a bad flash in the past. I've read that a back port on the computer is recommended for sufficient power and using the actual OEM cable the phone came with is highly recommended as well.
Oh well, hope you get it swapped out, the people at the AT&T stores (if that's where you got it) usually don't pay no mind to that anyways.

Hi,
I do have the same kind of query. I have AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G. I unlocked SIM, unlocked BL, rooted and installed CWM recovery, De-dexed and Webtop over HDMI hacked. I am still on AT&T Stock ROM 2.3.4 / Build # 4.5.91
I am facing random reboot problem while using 3G data service. I want to re-flash Stock 2.3.4 ROM. As per your reply in this thread I can only do this by flashing Fruitcakes as I have unlocked BL ... right? But in this link I am bit confused which file to download and flash amongst 2.3.4 / 2.3.5 att 4.5.133 / ATT 4.5.140 - 2.3.6? Also, after flashing a fruitcake can I still flash a custom ROM later on and at any point of time revert back to stock?
Thanks so much.

If you want to go back to stock, as in the last "Official" build released by Motorola, then you want the 2.3.4 build. And as long as you use the fruitcakes you can go back to a custom rom at any time.

Thanks for your early reply ... Just one thing more I wanna ask that if I flash ATT 4.5.140 - 2.3.6 fruitcake, then can I flash ATT 2.3.4 - 4.5.91 over it? Is the brick warning for going back to stock ATT ROM only after having BL unlocked?
Thanks for your help

If you want to go back to stock, as in the last "Official" build released by Motorola, then you want the 2.3.4 build. And as long as you use the fruitcakes you can go back to a custom rom at any time.

Yes, you can flash 2.3.4 fruitcake over a 2.3.6 fruitcake. Just make sure to do the "wipes" (clear data/cache/factory reset/fastboot wipe/etc).
As far as I understand, the fruitcakes will not brick your device, as long as you follow the directions. The risk for bricking applies to using an SBF file and RSDlite.
