I'm a Canadian Bell user.
I've been using Android 2.2, rooted, with a little OEM bloat removed (ashphalt demo etc.). The phone decided to update to the OTA 2.3, and bricked. I flashed to OLYEM_U4_2.1.1_SIGNED_UCAOLYPORTFR_P014_A004_M001_HWolympus_1g_1FF.sbf A Bell firmware it seems, though not quite the same as the original.
Which seems to work (I have no internet, but it seems I can call/text, it'll do for I came across http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195922&page=14
I then attempted to use Bell GB 2.3.4, so I rooted, installed ROM MANAGER, unlocked the bootloader, flashed tenfar's CWM, pulled the SIM, but kept the MicroSD in (the ROM is on the MicroSD) and then attempted to flash the 2.3.4 Bell GB leak.
First time,

Updating BP...
Updating System...
assert failed: package_extract_file("system.img". "/internal/app.bin")

(Status 7)
Instalation aborted.
So, I reflashed , rooted. etc. and tried again, and it froze this time at Updating BP...
Third times the charm right? aborted at the same stage as the first time.
Can someone please just call me a idiot and tell me I'm missing something silly? I read that someone else had the same error, but it worked the second try for them.
ok so first the 2.1.1 rom is the retail france rom not bell (thus why you didn't have any internet as your apns wouldn't be loaded)
I would try putting the file on the internal memory and flashing it again
I assume the cwm you have is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541

I can't remember how I found it to be honest, but thank you very much for informing me. Yes, that is the CWM I have.
I will try again right away.
OP, I am slightly puzzled. You were running the stock Bell 2.2 and it decided to update to 2.3 ?? The official Bell update is out ?

You don't flash it with recovery you flash it with RSD Lite. It's a .sbf file not a zip file There's a billion threads on this already

Not quite sure about that, though I do know Bell wanted me to update my phone when I already had 2.2, and I must've accepted at some point, bricking my phone.
Now I'm racking my head over this, I've meticulously gone through the procedure, and I don't know what's wrong.
Flash the French 2.2 SBF
Root
Unlock bootloader
Install CWM (tried Tenfar's and another by romracer)
Install 2.3.4.zip (from both external and internal memory)
Still get the same error message at the end.

I flashed the SBF with RSDlite, and izip from CWM.
could have been the 2.2.2 update.
have you tried to re-download the file? wondering the if the system.img file got damaged some how.
you shouldn't need to flash the french rom again (outside of just to have a device that boots)
EDIT
clear your data as well
This is what i did and not a single problem

i got this problem fixed by placing in ext sdcard instead of internal memory.
Thank you very much Spuzzum. That was exactly what I needed. Though I must say, going from the stock Bell rom to a modified Alien rom is quite the change. Motorola was nice enough to save my contacts and google my calender events.

Edit:
I can't actually seem to differ from what I did and what the instructional video showed, other than loading a different ROM.
I still can't seem to access 2G from my phone though. Not like I need it when I'm in the city, but I'd prefer to use it when I'm out of the city and have to go several days without a charge.
Same problem
hi Guys.. I am having the same problem. I flashed the french SBF now multiple times, rooted, installed Tenfar's recovery and then tried to recover using either the bell 2.2.2 or bell 2.3.4 and both give me error while using recovery. The errror is assert failed , installation aborted. I also had my bootloader unlocked but that didnt help either. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Bell atrix issues
hey, so when i try to update my phone throws an error saying i dont have "qik.apk" in my system folder. i had this issue before with the random bloat demos the atrix comes packed with, i was able to add the demos to the system folder using su in the terminal and putting the .apk files that i found on the internet into the folder. but for some reason i do not have super user rights anymore (even though the super user app is still installed)
is there any way to fix this so i can update my phone?
Related
Guys I'm new to the forum but have been messing around with custom pseudo-roms for the Atrix for a little while now. I was running Adeo, then Gingerblur, then Greyblur all without a hitch when I heard about the new OTA update coming to the phone and Gingerbread coming up, so I wanted to go back to any build that would allow me to get the HSUPA update as well as the gingerbread update, but when I went to flash my phone to sbf using rsdlite, it said internal programming fail and nothing else happened. I installed gingerblur over greyblur in an attempt to see if it would flash, but nothing. Have done a factory data wipe, still can't flash. I can't even get into the stock Android Recovery, all that comes up is a triangle and exclamation point. Could someone please help me out here, I'm running gingerblur on a rooted Atrix on 1.5.7 and cannot get it to flash sbf, all I want to do is go back to stock att rom for the coming updates.
Thanks,
BK
Hey,
I have the same exact set up as you. It seems vague in your post if you re-flashed back to 1.26, and that may be why you're getting errors? Every time I update roms, I re-flash to 1.26 using the method in the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072
Then I ran Gladroot to unlock, enable sideloading, etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016060
Downloaded and install the 1.83 update online (not on-air because I didn't get prompted)
http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=9098bc50a569f210VgnVCM10000081bbb00aRCRD
I ran the 'afterupdate.bat' on Gladroot after installing the update.
And I now have 2.2.2 / 1.8.3
Thanks bud, what I ended up doing was trying to manually uninstall gingerblur and greyblur and the adeo rom by using scripts etc but it never worked. My phone started acting weird, the home button stopped working, no 3g connectivity, it would say I have superuser but it wouldn't be rooted... something was seriously messed up. I tried to get into the stock android recovery but it wouldn't boot, I think something was corrupted. I knew sbf files rewrite system and boot data, so I went into tenfar's custom recovery (after rooting for the 10th time) and deleted system and boot data, system data was deleted, but boot data had an error. I wiped the caches and all and I tried to sbf flash to 1.8.3 but nothing and the phone bricked. I then tried it on another computer with more memory than mine (mine was running kind of low because of a linux partition) and the flash worked and I'm on 1.8.3. I think I'll wait for official gingerbread and unlocked bootloader in July before I mess with my phone again.

Use tenfar's unlocked CWM.
Cheers!
Testing rit now, report with results as soon as i get the stock love
Flashed without any problem,
factory reset, wiped cashe
installed unlocked bell zip
after reboot red led shows up and phone reboots.
I think i am stuck in boot loop
Now what to do ?
I have managed to get back to Aura ROM
now will try to go back to stock.
Booting Aura rit now (y it is taking forever to boot )
Finally out of CM7
Now trying to go back to stock
Well, not sure what happened there, you can apply the ihop_bell again to see if that fixes it.
Cheers!
I managed to get back to Aura ROM and tried to flash bell 2.2.2 zip and process aborted i think that zip only works with tenfar's unlocked CWM only that managed to fully flash the rom but stucked with boot loop.
Now going to flash Alien rom (personally Aura removes blot and adds his own crap)
Nop bell stock 2.2.2 is giving error in all 3 recoveries
What to do ?
Have you tried fruitcaking?

Nop not yet, i want to go back to stock Bell
is it any good ?
Hi,
If you backed up your pds partition, try restoring that. Probably some sbf you tried modified it, changing the signature maybe.
Cheers!
I didn't backed-up any thing (no need of backup)
if u have any then let me have it
Nop dont have any backup, didnt bothered to keep any backup. now i am thinking i was so wrong
Hi,
I just threw that out there, it's the only partition that I don't touch, but sbf files can modify it, since I got my replacement phone I have never used a French/Orange/ATT whatever sbf, so that's probably the difference. My backup is the 2.2.2 Gobstopper really, I also have a pds backup but it's useless for other phones.
Only other idea would be to change the radio first, there are radio only sbfs out there, go for the .15P one for Bell. Once on my previous phone when going from Telstra and French there were issues due to the radio if I recall correctly.
Cheers!
Well i go the solution after a lot of work!!!!
the first thing i did is to download gobstopper Bell 2.2.2 search in the forum
then i flashed cwm to the phone using fastboot
then i when on google and found ramfix.zip in groupoandroid.com put it in the sd internal or external
then i boot the phone in cwm and installed ramfix once finished i flash bell 2.2.2
this gave me the solution to all the problems. be sure to have at least 80% battery
then i rebooted the phone and download the new update from bell
installed with th UI from android rebooted, installed and the phone works 100%
hope this gives you a solution for you guy's.

Did you have tenfars recovery installed? Don't use any other recovery other than the tenfar recovery for unlocked devices.. Gobstopper will fail if you try with other recoveries..
In the original gobstopper 2.2.2 post, there's instructions on how to find the proper recovery for your phone..
You can also use the Gobstopper for 2.3.4 and just skip the extra upgrade. I had the same problem, but with the PortalApp APK.

thanx for the reply!!! No solution!!

Is there someone that can give me step to step what to do? because i am trying this since 4 days i cannot find any solution. thank you
Hi
So I bought this Atrix from eBay for my bro and it came with CM7.1 Olympus with Unlocked BL, cause it said UNLOCKED while turning it on, he didnt like it o found no use for it, since he doesnt mess a lot with all the features.
So I flashed the latest 2.3.4 Firmware 4.5.91 SBF ATT via RSD, it booted after done, then after a few hours it turned off by itself while in stand by i guess and gave me an error I include in the attachments. I flashed it again just in case (it happened to me once with a SE X10a and reflash worked like a charm).
Now it turns out everything worked, but still from time to time it turns off by itself. I searched online and that seems to be a problem with GB 4.5.91. I made a Recovery img then I went back to CM7, the same it had and still the same turning off by itself.
The point is the phone came with all the CM7 files and etc in the MicroSD which I didnt noticed before, BESIDES THERES a RECOVERY File in there.
I want to make the Restore with the file but WHAT if that recovery file is from an earlier Android Version and now that I flash the 4.5.91 and it has a Unlocked BootLoader, it BRICKS the phone.
The question is, Is there any way in which I can Identify what Android Version that recovery file has so I dont brick this Atrix????
I'm attaching some pics I took of the About phone area BEFORE I flash the OEM 2.3.4 ATT 4.5.91
P.D. I did search on the internet and here before posting.
I also contacted the original owner and he has no idea of what version it had before. "Whatever stock was he says"
Thanks!!!!!
First timer, newcomer to android (from symbian), so please be patient if I ask something obvious to android gurus
So, bought my SGH-717r, on GB.
1. Unlocked it
2. Rooted, installed CMW and did full backup
3. Flashed T879UVLF5modem and my Wind was back on
4. Spent days reading on this forum, getting familiar with android...
5. Decided to upgrade to ICS and applied StockROMs.net-SGH-I717R_Rogers_1_20120628212445_558luhzx6e Rogers ICS update. There was a .dll file in that zip, although I unpacked only tar file and put on my SD for flash.
6. Everything went well, got my Rogers ICS
7. Unrooted again, and then...
8. Tried all possible modems for Tmobile (to get me on Wind) and every time I got "no SIM card".
Also, my systems showed
- unkown IMEI
-unknown modem etc..
2 days of reading on this forum and elsewhere and...
9. Went to CMW to restore original GB when things were working. Yes, I got my Wind HSPA working, but I am on GB
How to get ICS? What did I do wrong?
Thanks
Where you able to get a solution? The same thing happened to me.

Since you are flashing, why don't you try one of the custom ROMs(black star, cyanogenmod, rocket, crash, etc...) out there. They are rooted and cleansed.

same here - official Rogers ICS rom - flashed blaze, telus, and kid ICS - no sim detected..."insert sim card to access network services"
Yikes ....
This is the 5th device I am aware of with this condition...
2 of which went in for repairs.
This is an ugly trend that's forming .....and I spent 3 days trying to fix a device like this ....and never found a solid solution.
On 3 other devices that now work .....the users were able to downgrade to GB and repair the sim issue.
I can't say that this fix will work ...but I'd say that at least 60% of the users have recovered successfully using this method ....g
