Hi all
I am a little bit confused?
I got my gf (girlfriend) a motorola atrix from website called PANAMOZ when it arrived I found out it was ME860 (HKTW) not MB860 (ATT 4G)
Some of the stuff was in chinese like keyboard etc etc.
I was going to get her a SGS II same as what I have but she said it was too big for her.
Now the problem I have got is it is running android 2.2.2 and my SGS II is on android 2.3.4
How can I get the motorola atrix ME860 on android 2.3.4?
Do I root it, sbf it via RSD lite, unlock bootloader (if so how),fastboot vol up vol down, etc etc.
I have been reading for 2 days on xda forum and I think I am going to go crazy!
My last moto was the wings! and with my nokia's, HTC, iphones, Blackberry's and Samsung's I have not had any problems updating to latest official or un-official firmware.
So all I would like is some help and support for you guys to get the atrix ME860(HKTW) on gingerbread 2.3.3 or 2.3.4
She is not interested in all types of mods or flashing custom roms every other week!
Just a stable phone that won't let her down and yet be SMART.
Thank you in advance for all your help-advice-tutorials-link
Go to Motorola.com find the atrix and ask them how to update, if your not trying to unlock or root. They should be able to help you.
My overclocked alien atrix
Thank you for your input, I don't mind rooting/unlocking it, its just I don't want to end up bricking it.
I have been reading about using RSD and putting on 1.2.6 then root but when I try that, RSD lite just says fail. When I try the HKTW sbf (4.0.500) it does work but it gives me android 2.2.2 froyo on chinese firmware.
I live in UK and don't mind installing US, UK, EU firmware/sbf its just working out how and in what order I need to do this. I have managed to root it using gingerbreak 1.20apk
your further input is most appreciated thank you.

What happens when you just check for software update in the settings?
If that doesn't work then another option I suggest is to fruitcake up.
1. unlock your bootloader (follow the instructions in the International House of Pudding thread in development).
2. Install RomRacer's Recovery (also in development forum)
3. download the HKTW fruitcake in samcripp's fruitcake thread
4. install fruitcake via recovery you installed in step 2

Many thanks
It sounds like you/your girlfriend don't really need to unlock (which may or may not be safe with the ME860, since it is a different device).
What I would do is search for 2nd init and get the 2.3.4 HKTW sbf and use the /system from that build. Unfortunately you cannot flash it directly since it is test-keys signed not signer for end user use. You're going to have to do some digging around to find all the stuff you need. Your other option is to unlock and flash the /system and boot.img through fastboot.
Or you can learn Mandarin / Chinese and surf the HKTW forums to see if they can give you an (un)official HKTW sbf/rom.

Hi there,
I have an Atrix, carrier unlocked phone on the Rogers network running froyo. I would like to upgrade to the latest gingerbread firmware available on the Motorola website. I have a couple questions before I attempt this:
1. Dose it matter which carrier firmware I use, the AT&T or the Bell? If so how do I know which is the correct one to use? Since I bought the carrier unlocked phone off ebay it could be either an AT&T or a Bell.
2. Will the carrier unlock survive the firmware upgrade? Or am I going to have to get my hands on an other unlock code or something?
3. I am thinking about getting a dock so I can use the webtop thing. I have read that there is limits on the webtop based on your data plan. Is there something that needs to be modified to have this work or does the unlocked carrier bypass any of the these restrictions an allow the webtop to work?
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks

1) yes it matters. How did you plan on updating? To check what firmware you are on go to settings about phone
2)yes the unlock should survive it gas to do with the sim.
3)The limits for webtop have to do with AT&T and their limits on tethering

Thanks for your response. As for the update I was planning on following the instructions on the Motorola website. Copy the firmware file to the SD card and then select system upgrade.
yeah i dont think that will be a problem, just check what firmware you have
BUT i would reccomend using a custom ROM
Reasons
-they are based off motorolas firmware and are very stable
-tweaked to give better performance
-are deodexed. meaning you can apply themes to your hearts content and really personalize your phone
Hi marko! thanks for your help on this. What rom would you recommend? I am looking for stability and speed, over themeing and customization.

After having tried them all, Nottach's DarkSide is the fastest & most stable. Also ext4. Make sure you do a fastboot wipe before you install it so that you start on a clean system!
Happy flashing!
You don't have an update available via OTA yet?...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
So after doing some reading and poking around in the dev forum I think I am going to not bother with the stock Motorola firmware and go straight into a custom rom as you guys have suggested. I have a couple quick questions first, and would appreciate any guidance on the best, safest and easiest way to do this. I have read through the, noob and flashing threads but I can’t seem to find a definitive answer to this.
So since I am running stock froyo, is the install as simple as unlock bootloader, root phone and load on romracers CWM and flash away? Or do I need to worry about gingerbread bootloaders? My understanding is not all roms have bootloaders in them.
OR do I use RSD lite and loaded on the stock 2.3.4, unlocked .sbf file, root phone and load romracers CWM and flash. Which I think this method you can no longer go back to froyo, if need be for whatever reason.
I would prefer to keep the froyo option open, but I am not married to it. Plus I would prefer to do this not using RSD lite as I have had some bad experiences in the past flashing my Samsung cappy with the PC program odin.
Thanks again for your help.
I spent my day reading all the threads about rooting the Razr and upgrading to ICS, but with that much information, I am a little confused.
First I rooted my phone using the Motofail Solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342567
Then, and instaled the ClockworkMod using Razr Bootstrapper App:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347767
Now I want to upgrade my phone to ICS, but the tutorials that I found says that the version of ICS are for one specific version of phone or need a specifIc soluction to flash (like RSD lite)
So, my questions are:
1) Did I really need to upgrade for 2.3.6 before upgrade to ICS. Why?
2) Do someone knows a ROM to upgrade to 2.3.6 and other to upgrade to ICS trough ClockworkMod, that works with my phone version (651.73.250.XT910.Latam.en.01) :fingers-crossed:
3) Is there a way to flash a RSD litle fastboot file on linux?

1)
yes, you need to do. ICS is based on the 2.3.6 ROM files via md5 checksums of your current system. this prevents you from flashing some kind of ROM that would brick your whole phone.
2)
i'm not sure which ROM you could choose to do that, but maybe get some nude Retail 2.3.5 ROM... with a branded kind you will not be able to find much / any custom ROM.
just check this to get a working firmware ROM.
why don't you just upgrade to official 2.3.6 and afterwards to official ICS?
3)
man, i don't know... i'm windows user... but just ask google?
ps: official OTA's don't need clockwordmod
The firmware is the answer.
Thanks, Sh4itan for the attention,
That is what I could figure out.
1) The upgrade for 2.3.6 has a firmware on it, so, that´s why I had to upgrade for 2.3.6 before ICS.
2) My phone was a Latam.en.01 version, but I instaled a Latam.br version and worked just fine .
3) I used the RSD solution because I was more confident using a tested solution. So, I still don't know any RSD solution for Linux.

Just download the LATAM ICS Fastboot files and flash them via RSD Lite,It's really that simple.
Those fastboot files are linked at the development section here,use the search bar.

There is a utiluty, in the development section, for linux that you can use to flash .173. But if you have adb installed on your machine you can just flash all the .img through terminal. I beleve the code is /fastboot flash system system.img/ ?fastboot flash boot boot.img/ ect.
Just order a new atrix 4G. I have looked at the possible ROM's to use and I want to try out the Neutrino ROM. I have rooted devices before but I am new to Motorola devices. Please help me find the CURRENT steps I need to take to get to be able to run the Neutrino ROM? I have used the search bar but a lot of the threads that I have found contain links that are no longer valid. Such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600 Also I read a this link http://www.xda-developers.com/tag/motorola-atrix-4g/ which has me a worried that I may end up having an issue because all of the guides or seem to have been written before May 15th.
Thanks for taking a look and sorry if that was a little confusing I just didn't want to get flammed for being lazy. In the end I just want to know the most up to date way to get to the Neutrino ROM?? Below I will have included the specs. If I need to post anthing else please let me know
I recieved my phone last night and set it up on Striaght Talk.
System version: 45.31.0.MB860.AsiaRetail.en.03
Model Number: MB860
Android Version: 2.3.4
Your help is GREATLY APPRIECIATED!!
Also on the youTube videos they all seem to say "DO NOT DO TRY TO UNLOCK OR ROOT IF YOU HAVE 2.3.4 OR IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!"
Is this still the case or has there been a work around for it yet??
you have to unlock bootloader, but you can get FAIL with last step.
If you will get fail - don't worry, you can still unlock it via fastboot (tested on mine INTL Atrix, but every phone is a little bit different)
flash recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash rom, flash gapps. Done
Thanks ovitz. Can you point me to a thread describing how to unlock the bootloader on this phone?? I can do all the other stuff that you said I need to do after the bootloader is unlocked(clearing and flashing). Just really dont want to mess up my phone. I got 2 actually one for my girlfriend as well. I have java and all SDK/ADB and all programs that I may need. Just want a step by step for comfort.
Is the search not working for you?
http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/1136261/
The thread is sticky even.
DISCLAIMER: I used this to unlock the BL on my Atrix, but mine is an older one, dating back to around Feb 2011. I do not know if this still works on brand new devices, however I am not aware of any other way to unlock (there probably isn't any other way really).
What is the other way (not using fastboot) to unlock this bootloader?? I tried fastboot oem unlock and got this message "INFOOEM unlock is not implemented"
Do I need to use an SBF with RSDlite or something to make this possible? If so please point me in the direction of that thread!?!
Thanks for anyone that can help

Sorry ravilov...Did not see your post as I had started a post and then ventured off to seach XDA and some other forums again as well. I have gotten to the link that you posted several times. I just saw that is was posted a long time ago and that there is a lot of things in that post that dont make too much sense to me.
First it says "All phones If you have unlocked then try to use 2.3.4 update zip from Motorola servers, then revert back to a "pre-unlock" version(1.8.3 or earlier on ATT) you will get bricked! Do not use the OTA via experimental servers and revert to older versions WITHOUT pudding preinstalled in your sbf. ATT ONLY Get your 1.8.3 with pudding from the pudding/unlocker section below."
Then shortly after is says "Disclaimer: Tested on 1.8.3 and 2.3.4 using sbf_flash and RSDLITE 5.3.1 or higher, usual warnings being responsible for your own actions yada yada"
So I dont really know if it works or not on the newer atrix's. I dont want to brick a brand new phone and I would just like to see that some one else has done it recently. So yes my eyes are open and search did work for me if you did not see the 2 other threads I mentioned. I just want something up to date, not from early 2011. If it can be confirmed that this works or If you know someone who has unlocked it recently, that would be great to hear from them.
Thanks for posting the link to that thread anyways though. Much apprieciated!
Can anyone tell me if the IHOP method to unlock bootloader will work with my phone?? I cant post in that thread because I do not have enough posts. Here are my specs so I could get some help with which patch to use with RSDlite.
System version: 45.31.0.MB860.AsiaRetail.en.03
Model number: MB860
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: N_01.100.00R
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #3
APflex version: GAS_ASIA_USAOLYGBSEART_P011
GAS_ASIA_USAOLYGBSEART_A003
GAS_ASIA_USAOLEMSEARET_M001
Build number: 4.5.2A-74_OLE-31
Something else I want to note is that it was bought on ebay as unlocked so I am assuming that is the radio. When I set up the APN for straight talk it did have the choices for AT&T US, AT&T US HSDPA, AT&T US Tether, AT&T US MMS. So this is why I am a little confused/scared as to which piece of pudding to use. It looks easy enough to unlock and clear the caches and flash the ROM I will want to use. Just would like to know which one to use.
Please, please somebody help!!:fingers-crossed:
Thanks you for taking a look to help. Much apprieciated!!!
For a phone with the Asia Retail firmware, you'll want to use RSD Lite to flash the IHOP SBF. Your phone will likely enter a soft brick as stated above, just proceed with the unlock commands in fastboot from the error screen.
Since its an international phone, if you don't load a new ROM soon after unlocking then you'll need to flash the "RAMfix" from the Development section here. Most ROMs have that built in to the kernel, though, so it's not needed if you're going directly to a ROM.
In case you need it in the future, you might want to locate your stock SBF for Asia Retail and keep it on hand. If you see the Atrix Firmware Superthread in the Dev section, find the later Page that has new links to updated download sites. It's a post with a link to all Gingerbread firmwares and a link to all Froyo firmwares. Yours will have "searet" in the name. Make sure it's the same version, 2.3.4. Flashing anything older will brick you.
Good luck!

Quite welcome.
APNs are usually set by your SIM, if it's provisioned properly and the phone supports it.

Good to know About the APNs. Just to let you know I unlocked, rooted, and flashed the ROM the day you first replied. So I've been running with a new ROM for 3 days and the battery life is great!!
If anyone out there has installed the Neutrino ROM, I have one more question. On the Neurino ROM page it say to do these 2 steps:
"Then, after booting, click on script manager, navigate to /system/etc and run NitroCharger.sh as ROOT and at BOOT!
It is also HIGHLY recommended to download the GPS Mod found in #2. Then you're done."
I tried flashing the GPS mod but I keep gettng an error. Then on my first boot I tried going to /system/etc and from there I do not know where to locate NitroCharger to run it for either. Any help on these two issues would be great!! Also another thanks for everyone for taking a look and helping.
I would post in that thread but I still dont have enought posts.
You really need to reread the original Neutrino thread, since all of this has been answered countless times.
YOU DO NOT FLASH THE GPS MOD DIRECTLY. Open the ZIP and read the instructions.
NitroCharger is only available as an OTA update, but you might reconsider if you really want it since it's been known to cause issues.
Again, I know the thread is very large, but whatever questions or issues you might have, it's very likely answered there already.
Thanks you for just answering, even though you think I should just reread the thread. That answered my questions very fast. I will just not run Nitrocharger, I thought it may casue problems if I could not get it to run, instead you said it is the opposite. As for the GPS mod I just did open up the .zip and read the readme. I pulled out the United_States.zip
Can I just use CWM recovery to flash the US.zip now or do I have to clear all my caches and the likes beforehand?
I know your very busy and I apprieciate the time you take to just look at it.
I have just started my own business and it is going great!! but I have been working 14+ hour days with usually 9 hours hour doing very hard physical labor 6 days a week!! I need to hire more employees soon, lol. I read the whole IHOP thread from front to back and the Neutrino thread but I was very exhasted and stayed up until 330 in the morning doing it!! So again I thank you for taking your time I appriciate it very MUCH that you are helping me to have a fun android experiance and also to learn something new to me!!
Yes, you can just go ahead and flash United_States.zip. No need to clear anything.
Awesome your the MAN!! Thanks again :laugh: :good:
Hey guys, i originally own a samsung galaxy ace and i've never ever ventured into the world of unlocked bootloaders and fastboot...My friend just got a new motorola Atrix 4G and it came with v4.5.141 OUT-OF-THE-BOX. I read the sticky in the development section warning not to update OTA to 4.5.141 but my question is, is there any way to unlock the bootloader on this phone which had the version pre-installed?
I'm an absolute n00b to bootloader unlocking and fastboot so if anyone could give a proper explanation, it would be greatly appreciated...

I found this post on Atrix Forums that only says if you have Gingerbread. I unlocked my Atrix recently, and I'd been running 2.3.6 for quite some time. My phone was originally the 2.2 I believe (it's been a little while), but the instructions there worked like a charm.
Best bet: Before doing anything, read all the instructions very very very carefully.

The warning is about flashing the previous SBF over the current one.
This is a warning that multiple users, including myself, have hard bricked their devices by SBF flashing to 1.8.3 after installing an official 4.5.91 update.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, do NOT try to flash the SBF for 4.1.83 or 4.1.57 (both are Froyo) over the current 4.5.91 (Gingerbread). In fact, it's best not to flash any SBF at all if you can avoid it. There is one that's required to unlock the boot loader, but this is a file that was leaked from Motorola specifically to unlock the boot loader. If your phone works right and you follow the instructions, you should have no problems. (EDIT: I seem to have read somewhere that the SBF file for unlocking the phone was a leak, but I could be wrong here.)
Remember: There is always risk in bricking or breaking your phone. Every set of instructions I've come across says it, whether they be automated or manual.
Maybe Hard Brick
I had Atrix 4g OTA to 4.5.141, then Unlocked bootloader using script 4.2, then trid to rSD back but choose the wrong file i think it was 4.5.91 not my Atrix says failed boot 1 starting fastboot support, and when i try to RSD the 4.5.141 sbf i get RSD unable to retrieve interface handle error. any thoughts?
Hey people, I just bought a new Atrix a week ago. It came with "4.4.20.MB860.O2.en.DE" (fw 2.2.2)rom. I found on the internet that it should be possible to update to 2.3.4. But when I try to do the OTA update it says that my system is up to date. So, Is it possible to update my phone to 2.3.4? How? I found a rom called "1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-31-release-keys-signed-rtdach.sbf" but Im aware of flashing it with RSD, is there some other way to do that?
PS: I have not roted or unlocked bootloader my Atrix yet..
Thanks everyone!

If you want to upgrade i would recommend to unlock the bootloader and flash some GB based rom like Nottachtrix 1.3.1, those ones are the stock rom but enhaced I'm running right now Nottachtrix because i want everything working.
Otherwise you can get Neutrino, it's an excellent rom too.
About the sbf with RSD, you need to flash the correct sbf otherwise you will get the "failed to boot", so if you are not sure if it is for your phone, don't do it, take the safe way.
Im not sure pretty much about anything since all tutorials, files, etc.. are made for 2.3.4.. I found this post about rooting the Atrix. Should it work? And another stupid questions. Custom ROMs are installed using CWM recovery right? And is it possible to make a backup of my actual rom for applying waranty in the future? And about that sbf im pretty sure that it should work, but I want to hear that from someone that already did that. I just do not want to brick my phone after week of using..
Thanks! M.
