I'm no expert but I'd guess you can download a rom and flash away..cmod is available in market...
did you unlock your bootloader yet? very important!
Unlock Bootloader here.. *MUST DO BEFORE PLAYING WITH ROMS*

lol dunno
i bought my atrix off of ebay, rooted and unlocked the bootloader, then messed up with gingerblur. maybe it was because i had the lastest updates installed on the atrix?

You were supposed to flash through the system recovery app's recovery, but anyways back to your question. If you follow directions on how to do things im sure you'll be fine off, as of now the only way to hardbrick is to sbf back when you have the ota installed,

Are you sure that your old atrix is hardbricked? Sounds like it would be more of a softbrick unless your old atrix had Gingerbread. Eitherway, it sounds fixable.

i'm unable to root it for some reason. tried cmd method as well as superoneclick... don't know what else to do
1. How do I unlock the bootloader?
2. Does it have to be rooted before unlocking the bootloader?
3. How do I know if my bootloader is already unlocked? Is that a possibility?
4. I need to find a rom that supports arabic.

It will have the "Unlocked" text in the top left corner when you boot it.
What's the easiest method to do the unlock?

Did you root too? Cause rooting is must for using ROMS.

Yes I did. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted.
I personally don't know what ROMS have that support. You can experiment or ask around. The best performance ROM right know is Alien.

Ok I finally figured out the right rom and I managed to get the arabic fonts to work properly. I am using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239129 and was wondering if there is a way to change the theme that is being used. I tried installing aHome but that kept crashing. Any suggestions? Any Good Themes?
im using the honeyglow theme. I like it a lot. Will have to install RomRacer's CWM Recovery to flash it.

So I am rooted on gingerbread 2.3.4 using Pete's root tool. My question is do I have to be unlocked to install the Alien Rom I do have a CWM mod but its not the newest because from what here you have to be unlocked to install that as well

Yes you have to have an unlocked bootloader to load the newer roms on your phone

Thanks for the info and that sucks things were easier before I updated to gingerbread. Ok so if I unlock my bootloader and something goes wrong down the road can I restore it back to factory so it can be sent in for repairs

Why wait? Why don't u do it yourself? If you have an unlocked bootloader then it's pretty much very easy. Just go to the dev section and you will find an easy TUT for rooting devices with unlocked bootloaders. I upgraded my device yesterday then unlocked the bootloader then rooted it. Now I'm running ICS with root and custom kernel so that I can overclock it too. Do it yourself buddy. Don't wait for others to get things done.

Yeah you are right, my Sk17i is okay,but I got black screen with WT19i....
Now can not flash using flash tool. it give flashing error..Any solution?
FTF file cannot be made to a PreRooted one.
If you have rooted GB, you can upgrade to a rooted ICS - i did it thanks to this thread since i wanted to keep my bootloader locked.
If you dont have rooted GB, there are plenty of threads that explain how to do it, basically you would need to downgrade to .58 or .42 and root it using zergrush metod. Afterwards go to that link and flash it to rooted ICS (just follow the steps in that thread)

Install busybox from the play store (1.19.4 worked for me) and then use SE Extreme Tweak Installer for CWM

It is quite easy once you have done it a couple of times. I used to flash my x10 on a daily basis. Sometimes 3 or 4 times a day because I was bored or several ROM updates came at once lol
