Ok so i don't know what happen but my phone now says Failed to Boot 4 Starting RSD Mode
What i want to know if i use the SBF for 1.2.6 will it brick my phone ? I see people saying just use that one and then upgrade after that, but i do not want to take the chance of bricking my phone.
So i hope somebody can help
Im assuming youve already unlocked bootloader. Dont use sbf to flash anything. Use recovery or fastboot.
I voided my warranty.

Well the problem is i did try fastboot and when i did that it still did not work and it also REMOVED fastboot..... so now i dont have that as a option
I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181932<br /><br />I
and it says im safe to do that one beings it was the same as what i had on my phone before this happended, but im just not sure
If you cant boot into fastboot it may be hardbricked. If rsd doesnt recognize your phone, youre screwed. If it does, cross your fingers and hope for the best.

Well, read, reread and try to find a couple of threads or better yet experienced members that can help. I try to avoid situations that can possibly get you in a predicament like this.

It all depends if you have "burned the fuse" or not. I can not tell you how to check that with 100% certainty, but if you have EVER flashed/downloaded/used any official update from att or motorola for version 2.3.4 then you have burned the fuse most likely. If that is the case then NEVER flash any older version or you will kill your phone. If you are sure you have never used any official version and only used versions from people that know what they are doing (e.g. Kenn's or fruit cake just to name two) then you can flash whatever you want....but if you are not 100% sure the outcome is on your head.
The safe road would be is if you can get into fastboot?? If so then load cwm recovery with fastboot then load the 2.3.4 fruit cake.

If you did an OTA *official* update, never use an .SBF except to flash a radio ever again. If you do you RISK hard bricking, period. Sorry man, I know it sucks. I can tell you that I have done an OTA to 2.3.4 and then flashed the 2.3.4 SBF and was fine, but then again, it may not work like that for everyone. I now use fruitcakes even if it's to get back to stock 2.3.4, it's just safer. fruitcakes can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009

How are fruitcakes loaded through RSD Lite as well ?
Fruitcakes are not .sbf files because they do not need to be. They don't contain the amount of data a .SBF would, usually just system and necessary files. They are flashed with CWM *clockwork recovery mod*, as a .zip file. This makes it a ton easier and the chances of hard bricking your phone are almost zilch. CWM for unlocked bootloaders can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
fruitcake is cwm, so if you can not get cwm/recovery to work your only option it seems is to flash the offical 2.3.4 sbf and ONLY the 2.3.4 one, do not use an older version.
once you flash 2.3.4 then you should then be able to get your phone opened up again and get cwm working again, and be ok going forward, but never go back older then 2.3.4.
There are hacked sbf files for safe versions of 1.8.3 but I see no reason to go back to 1.8.3 if you are not going to follow the normal upgrade path anyway.

I have done this before. I believe your right but obviously there is still a risk. I flashed 4.5.91 over 4.5.91 without bricking. Be sure u flash the same OS to lower potential brick.

When in doubt, use the fruit cakes! =D Mmmmmmm
But yeah, honestly, you don't need to re-lock or un-root. You can just use the Automated Upgrade found here. That will save all your data and stuff, and it'll upgrade you to Gingerbread! =D
BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING THOUGH (I don't know how many times i emphasize this, but I guess it's worth emphasizing), BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA. In the event you lost all of it, we MIGHT be able to recover some, but expect to loose it all if you just screw my warning over. Oh, and if you want to root again, use the pre-install method. That works well for lots of people (use search bar above to find it =])
Happy upgrading!
BTW if you want unlocked bootloader again, it doesn't come with this Gingerbread build (god only knows why). Just use pudding and you'll be good to go =]

The link in your post points to the official OTA.
It contains the new bootloader as a part of the payload.
This bootloader will make it impossible to go back to 1.8.3 SBF (or any other SBF) without the risk of hard brick.
For your safety, use Fruit Cakes or any of the ROMs floating around.
Stay away from official OTA or anything that does not have the new bootloader disarmed (or removed).

In general, you do not need to go back to anything to flash a new ROM.
Just back up your phone (through CWM) and flash a zip file with the ROM of your choice.
Most of the time, you will need to recreate your setup (download the apps and regenerate your preferred settings). To make your life much easier, I would highly recommend investing in Titanium Backup.
lol sorry forgot to mention the fruitcake part X_X made so many posts in the past hour or so, I tend to leave out information I've repeated over a lot of times. I honestly don't have a problem with the OTA (minus the fingerprint, but i think that's with everyone), so that is another viable method. So long as he stays away from SBF (which we technically should anyways) and sticks with eating his Fruitcake, I don't see what's the big deal =]
That's just my two cents on that matter. However, feisty_noodles is probably right about flashing ROMs, as they are usually well tested and don't blow the Odmfuse like the new bootloader does when you unlock with it. It's really your choice, but I preferred having an OTA (until my ROM-itis kicks back in >.>), so I just gave you the method I used.
Good luck!

Oh, and yeah. These are important too =] Kenneth made a ROM from the Gingerbread, so you can probably use that (make sure it's not fastboot images though! A lot of people (soft?)bricked their phones that way. And Titatium ftw =D

There is nothing wrong with fastboot images. I am running a stock from system.img (from Ken's archive) at the moment.
1.8.3 with unlocked bootloader you have 3 way to have official GB 2.3.4/4.5.91
1. Flash 1.83 "WITH" Pudding and then apply OTA by settings->about phone->system update
2. Flash 2.3.4/4.5.91 Official Motorola SBF, you can get this one by Motorola Software Updater or Development forum -> stickie -> SBF thread
3. Download 2.3.4/4.5.91 extract img's and moto-fastboot
Option 1 and 2 update the bootloader
Option 3 preserve old bootloader

Continuing on with the list--options that do not mess with the bootloader:
4) Flash the .img files from Ken found here plus the CWM-flashable radio
5) Fruit cakes!!!
I bricked one Atrix already a few weeks ago, and have since gotten another...(don't wanna think about it)..
I had toyed with unlocking it, and 'rooted' using the gingerbreak method. I was then, bored, one day and installed CWM paid version(Since I had it on my Nexus One, and it popped up under 'my apps'). Out of curiosity I installed the bootloader via CWM, thinking it would fail before it broke anything..wrong.. It froze after a reboot, but after taking the battery out and back in came back up. Didn't think any more about it, and figured i'd finish the unlocking/flashing part some other time..
Meanwhile the annoying pending system update kept going off, and I inadvertently clicked download... it downloaded, so I figured might as well install and not worry about roms since with root I was able to use the google adhoc wifi apk, which is what I care about most. The install was stuck in an infinite loop. It would 'fail to load RSD', if you took the battery out it boot to android then reboot automatically for system update over and over. I tried using the RSD lite program at this point to flash back to stock rom, and ended up hard bricked...
So, forgive me for being a complete noob as I never had an issue with my nexus one. I am at 4.1.83, android 2.2.2. and baseband 1.7.15.. Which of the many tutorials and post should I follow? How safe are they? Did I brick because I had a partial 2.3.x install, and flashed back to a pre 2.3 base? I've read many post, but definitely a bit gun shy of bricking another Atrix. The phone keeps bugging me to update, and I keep hitting 'cancel'.
I'd like to unlock the boot loader for custom roms.
I'm also a heavy linux user, majority of tutorials seem to only imply windows with RSD lite? can this not be done with adb, and fastboot via linux?

That references 4.5.91 and unless I missed it, doesn't explicitly state it's backwards compatible with 4.1.83 and 2.2.2. is it?
Should I update first, to be at those levels and just know not to flash to an earlier build(pre 2.3.4/4.5.91)?

Nope, don't update. It's safer to unlock BL while you are still at 4.1.83, you just need to download the correct unlock file from the pudding thread.
Otherwise the unlocking steps are exactly the same.
The easiest steps to unlocking are here:

From there you can flash CWM in one minute.
From there you can flash any rom via CWM in two minutes.
Good luck and don't do anything stupid.
Wow I’m really drained I’ve spent a lot of hours trying to update to gingerbread (OTA) but just can’t get anything to work.
My phone Atrix 4G currently running build OLYFR_U4_1.8.3, the phone is rooted and has the webtop hack.
What I have tried so far
I have tried to flash the spf file using RSD lite with the new gingerbread update. No luck about 10 min in the program stops and says flash failed . I tried using RSD lite to flash back to an earlier version again same problem flash fails .
I have tried the over the air update and it failed; I got the yellow triangle, when I got the yellow triangle I swiped the bottom of the screen and it said DockService.apk failed, so I searched and found numerous people saying I had to revert back to the orginal files if I did the webtop hack. I reverted back to the orginal files using super manager but now my DockService.apk, PhonePortal.apk, and DockProvider.apk all say (no install); it looks like this:
DockService.apk(no install)
I tried installing the apk files using super manager and it attempts to but fails .
I’m really at a loss here I have no idea what to try anymore this is just really kicking my butt, could someone please help me or point me in the right directions. Thank you in advance.
are you trying to unlock your bootloader? or just upgrade?
Have you tried flashing the pudding SBF?
I had a problem with the update and originally flashed the Fruit Cake img files using fastboot. Maybe that will work. Look for the Fruit Cake Thread in the Dev section, or try the pudding SBF..

If you use a fruitcake, you'll be fine. If you wipe all data/system/etc and use the sbf, you will also be fine. The worst I've heard of is a soft brick that takes a hell of a lot of time and effort to fix. So, I'd go with fruitcake if I were you. I did it yesterday, and it worked like a charm.

Yeah I just went into "about phone" and hit update... what's wrong with that?
Can't you still root 2.3.6?
If your phone is working fine now do yourself a favor and leave it alone. OTA update has caused many problems like killing wifi and many people have had problems playing with roms and you can't go back. This is good advice.

I was subscribed to this and just want to add my data point:
on unlocked (bootloader) phone ("Unlocked" printed on boot screen), upgraded to 2.3.6 over the air. This caused Unlocked to disappear from boot screen but I believe I was still technically unlocked. I went through the unlock process again just to be safe. which put "unlocked" back on boot screen, then unrooted by normal flash recovery method, and running fine an dandy all along
I did have a problem with a bad sim card previously, which made it seem like 2.3.6 was a problem, but it is not, for me at least.
I bought my atrix from amazon and it says its an asian retail atrix. It works perfectly and whatnot on gingerbread but i was wondering if i could change the stock firmware to a UK version.
just about to try an sbf file through rsd lite, but not sure if i would need to change the radio on the device and the webtop versions and all that extra stuff..
i dont really want to root the device and do things like that so hopefully theres a way around that.
There are no downsides to rooting that I can think of. Unlike with some other devices, rooting an Atrix is a very non-intrusive process and there are no ill side-effects. However, rooting itself is not enough - in order to flash a different ROM, you'll have to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery too. If you really don't want to go down that road, then I'm afraid flashing SBFs is the only option you have, and that is tricky to say the least.

You should never attempt to do so, or you will get a hard brick. The only way you can downgrade is by rooting, unlocking the bootloader, and then flashing a fruitcake (or a gobstopper).
