Hye Expert.. i wanna ask a few question that i still confused about it.. plz give me a solution
im using Atrix non 4G 4.3.13.AsiaRetail
1)can be unlocked with same method like AT&T?
2)if im unlocking, can i get Custom ROM with any version?
3)its possible if i change system version to 4.1.83 using pudding?
4)i didnt find step to use pudding software, whats tool needed and how to use it?
still no lucky
Thought of getting one of the atrix. Looking at the upgrade of gingerbread makes me wanting this phone more, but Singapore local sets are all brand unlocked. Only bootloader is still locked. I assume we could flash our local sets to AT&T then unlock the carrier, then upgrade to 2.3.4?
Can any guys help?
Do NOT flash AT&T software, this will BRICK your phone!
For root, GingerBreak worked for me.
There are two type of unlock, CARRIER unlock and BOOTLOADER unlock.
All phones sold in singapore must be CARRIER unlocked by law.
As for BOOTLOADER unlock, use this link and flash the INTERNTIONAL/BELL version NOT the AT&T version.
Do you need step by step instructions for bootloader unlock?
@trinityb4
In reply to your other post, the safest way to get Gingerbread now is to
1.Unlock bootloader
2.CWM
3.Custom ROM =D
NEVER NEVER NEVER flash an AT&T .sbf file! Their Atrix is slightly different!
don't root on asia retail 3.1.0 or 3.1.3 .. i got my internal-sd formatted by itself after ramdom reboots (not rooting on 1st time)
but i got the rooting fine on stock rom if i flash to other europe rom such as Orange UK 4.20, Spain retail 4.33 etc..
i got no idea why but i try numerous time on with asia retail seems to have this problem but no problem with stock european roms.
best is to unlock bl and flash to att 4.59.1 with rooting

Flash any custom roms in development treat. I already tried all roms (including fruit cakes 2.3.4 roms). I prefer dark side v1. 3 & alien v4 for daily use. Other roms also good but I like blur gb & launcher. The best thing is please read this treat for reference.

Mine is doing well with Alien #4 very well at this moment. I think i'll stick to this ROM till official CM7 for Atrix is released.
Kernel for international version is already included so you don't need to worry about that

Thanks! You guys have been a great!
I will report back once it's done.
Dear pswin09,
Found my answer already...
Hi guru,
I had download the cmw file extracted it, renamed recovery.img (as in short recovery) and put it into my c drive without folder.
Then i run cmd prompt
C:\Users\vaio>cd c:\atrix <enter>
c:\atrix>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img <enter>
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
what went wrong?
edit; ok i did not root the phone.
now i've rooted it with gingerbreak and try again to see the outcome.

I have an LG Optimus One running 2.2.2 latest firmware V10e. Recently, I rooted my device and installed ClockWorkMod Recovery and the Lagfix+OC Kernel by der_caverman. I am using the Stock ROM with that Kernel.
My question is when the official Gingerbread Update comes out by LG, will I be able to update it with the official LG software updater or will it not work because I have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed.
If not, how can I remove ClockWorkMod Recovery get my original Recovery Back???
any help would be appreciated!

nope. you can upgrade at any time if u are staying with ur oem rom even if u are rooted. only thing is that u will lose ur root previllage after the update.
its alwayes advisable to have a custom recovery and custom rom. cause it can take nandroid backups(will save your day if anything goes wrong)

it is risky since you have changed the frame work.if i were you i will do the following.
1)unroot the phone( if u have used gingerbreak use the same to unroot)
2)down load the original recovery from http://www.megaupload.com/?f=XGKNWZQJ and flash. thus u can getrid of amonra and get back original p500 recovery
3)reboot and hard reset and upgrade.
4) since u are now on original recovery and in unrooted condition if any thing goes wrong u can claim warrenty.
let me ask u why u need an upgrade? to get lot of crapwares? or to get amere 600mhz kernal? or to get a laggy phone with mere 60 mb of internal storage space to install all ur apps? or to have adds on every apps?

Thanks for your answer!
And I understand you when you ask me why do I need official update, because I agree that official rom = creap And thats why the first thing that I have done when I rooted my phone was to uninstall all the bloatware from it
I will for sure flash miks rom when he base it on official gingerbread, and if I have a little time for weekend current mod that you recommended (I only hesitate because of the bugs - I know there are just a couple of them, but...). I tried yesterday francos kernel v151, but I'm experiencing color bending in lower half of a screen with it...

yes its a flashable unsigned zip.but if u r using amonra to flash( cause it is unsigned) u have to uncheck the option "toggle signature verify" first.Amonra wont allow u to flash unsigned zips unless u do the above.
ps:if original recovery is flashed u will lose all the options in amonra and the only option will be the hard reset option.
there is a good how to section if u wish...

It was a different experience for me. I tried mik's rom and andy's rom both were running good after that when LG released their Gingerbread I flashed back to stock rom and updated stock rom to 2.3.3 official. after a few hours my phone was totally dead. no response from power button. The service centre guy said that the internal memory is corrupted and since it is not available seperately, the board itself will be changed. Waited for 2 weeks to get that phone back. Anyway I rooted it but didn't try another rom, since its the new baseband now.

Flash a region 14 recovery: stock 319 recovery.img
download Thunder_408_20707_14.pkg
copy update.pkg to sdcard
reboot into recovery mode
follow onscreen instructions
finished
I expect that this rom cant be rooted at all as it's likely that every known exploit has been patched. I'm going to attempt to make a pre-rooted/custom rom in the upcoming days.
so i can install this rom following the same procedure over my 2.3 olleh rom?
i.e only placing this pkg file to sd card and update it or i have to again update the system.img and this pkg file again through fastboot mode?
you need a region 14 recovery installed, use the 319 one if you're not sure.

I would be willing to beta test your pre-rooted rom if you want, with 319 recovery loaded and adb working I should be able to get out of any problems.
The venue is a bit down on my priority list as I already have other things I promised to make. Also as I cant test stuff myself.
Are you comfortable using fastboot? You of course will need 408 installed for the various firmwares, feel free to actually confirm if none of the rooting tools work.
As the venue has comparatively few safety nets, everything you do of course is at your own risk.

If you using olleh rom before,you can direct upgrade,no need use recovery fastboot again
1. Download rom 407 rom, rename to update.pkg to TF card.

Holding off until confirmed rootable
I'm holding off until someone confirms this one is rootable.

Hi Kakagi,
Its great news that 408 is rooted, will it run MMI and USSD codes or as Manii said region 14 (olleh kt) roms dont support them. Help me out I had to downgrade to Froyo to run these codes.
Thanks.
You will need to flash the 319 recovery then use the 319 pkg
I did that and I am running froyo. Both MMI & USSD codes are working. Wanted to know if any of the new GB updates support MMI & USSD codes function.
Thanks.

this is clockworkmod recovery: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.8-olympus.img
download that and flash it to your phone with fastboot.
google how to fastboot on atrix its very easy.
then you can enter recovery by holding volume down whilst turning on the device, then keep pressing down until it says android recovery, then press volume up, from there you can mount your phone as usb storage, copy over a rom like cm9 or cm7 and install that, if you want stock i can upload the boot and system imgs for orange UK 2.3.4 sbf but would take a while
edit: if your willing to try a custom rom, cm9 is the latest and greatest android 4.0.4, but a couple small things like video camera and browser rotation are broken, cm7 is android 2.3.7 and has pretty much everything working perfectly.
how i flashing the cm9 version.
there is 3 rar files
what i need to do with them?

gapps: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120422-signed.zip
in recovery, wipe data/factory reset, flash cm9 then gapps, your better off searching all this stuff as youll probably find in depth instructions
thanks alot!!
everything is ok!
all working fine except the browser that crashes sometimes.
where can i find some cool widgets or some nice stuff for android 4?
Hey
Currently have a rooted Xperia Mini Pro on 2.3 Gingerbread but it seems the official ICS 4.0 update won't be coming to my SI number so I have a few questions. I have decided to install a custom ICS ROM on my phone so would like it to be as fast as possible and very stable. So got a few questions for you.
My phone is rooted, do I flash Clockwork Mod onto it and then clear the data etc and flash the new ROM?
How do I unlock the bootloader and can I relock it later? Any easy method? And if I need to do this, do I do it before flashing the recovery?
I have apps installed on my SD Card. I know the ones installed on my phone will be wiped and I can re-install those few but will the large games and apks installed on my SD card be wiped too? Or will they still show up in the menu?
Do I flash the kernel that I'll need the same way as the ROM too?
And finally the most important question: which the quickest ICS ROM for the SK17i?
Thanks a lot in advance
There is 2 ways to unlock the bootloader, one official and one non official. I used the official http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ the other one you have to find on the forum. Both is possible to relock bootloader by flashing a ftf file thru flashtool.
Kernel is flashed thru flashtool and the rom thru cwm thats usually included in the kernel.
Apps on your SD card will not show on the new custom rom as the phone doesnt know that you have them installed so you will have to reinstall (or use titanium backup).
First of all I tried the official ICS on my SK17i and I didn't like it, it's alot slower than the GB with no super feauters that deserve it
I am now using the MiniCMSandwich Lite ROM. IT'S SOOO great and working very will. You can find it in a thread here.
Follow the instruction in the thread.
If u unlocked bootloader u can relock it but if u decided to unlock it follow the testpoint method not the official one because it's better.
Anyway .. Installing the official ICS or th ROM I told u don't need unlocking bootloader so don't unlock it.
If u want to root ur ICS u have to read that before Updating to ICS

Right firstly I decided to attempt to unlock my bootloader. It turns out for some reason I cannot unlock it (says not allowed in the menu). So suddenly a lot of the good ROMS are out of the question.
I have decided on the below ROM as Tayyar states that I don't need an unlocked bootloader. I know how to flash the ROM etc but how would I flash the Kernel? Or would it automatically flash with the ROM? I remember reading somewhere an unlocked bootloader is a MUST to flash the ICS Kernels hence my question
The official update has also not been made available for my phone and I doubt it will be so I will stick to my current version and flash the ROM now
About the apps on the SD Card, how should I go about it then? Should I get Titanium Backup and then do what with it? I have quite a few apps, it would be very annoying to need to re-install all of these.
Thanks a lot
Since your phone is rooted, try editing the region codes/CDA strings in /system/build.prop to a CDA code/SI number that has the ICS update. I did this myself when I reflashed my phone to get root on GB. I connected using Sony Update Service and was able to get stock ICS customized for my country using "CUSTOMIZED PH WORLD I 1254-1952"
What I changed was the CDA strings inside:
ro.product.name
ro.build.fingerprint
ro.semc.version.cust
You do not have to replace the whole value, just the XXXX-XXXX CDA string you already have there.
More info on these XDA threads:
[SOLVED] force update by editing build.prop, Also: [WIP] list of CDA strings!
Here's a list of available WT19 CDA codes for different countries/regions.
Credits go to original posters.
Titanium Backup is always a great app to use. Only caveat is, you might want to manually restore apps instead of doing a batch restore; some of them might not work with the jump from GB to ICS. Also it would cause a lot of trouble if you try to restore Contacts Storage from a GB ROM to an ICS ROM. Just stating my personal experience

Kernels can only be flashed with an unlocked bootloader. Kernels get only flashed via fastboot mode. A cwm flash is not possible at the moment.
You can flash custom roms via cwm. Your bootloader is locked, so you have to look that your choosen rom is compatible with your bootloader.

I think you could unlock it via the testpoint method, if it says it's not unlockable.

My friend, ICS for Xperia mini/minipro sucks.. Its was slow compared to GB. I've tried all the tweaks, hack and other bullshits.. now i am back to GB. and i am very happy i did. But if you really want ICS, then Minicms/CM9 is the best choice.
