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 ?

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!

when updating from gingerblur 1.2 to 1.3 i went into the tenfar's recovery app and clicked Install Recovery again, even though I had already done this before install gingerblur, I want to try out the new grey blur and was thinking bout using recover to go back to my first after root install, but now that I have clicked it I don't want to end up just going back to 1.2
so basically two questions, can I recover back to my first pre gingerblur 1.2 version of atrix, or can I only go back to gingerblur 1.2 at this point since I overrided it?
and yes I know about sbf flashing I just am lazy and would like to know if I have the option to recover from multiple states
Install recovery actually initiates the recovery process....... it doesn't complete till the phone rebotes and you work through the flashing menu..... so pressing it multiple times wouldn't do anything I guess??
as for going back i don;t think that is an option anymore hence the flashing method said " are you sure" and also "This process can not be undone"..... not unless you flash a new sbf, which is can brick if not done properly.
i believe we are confused, you are supposed to click install recovery before loading any kind of rom like gingerblur or greyblur, my question was can i recover from multiple states, or only the very last one, becuase if that is the case I have to reflash stock sbf in order to do a clean install of greyblur since the last time i clicked the install recovery button was after gingerblur 1.2 was installed, while the first one was pre any kind of romming

Ahh yes, sorry, you can flash any rom over the top of gingerblur as long as it is the complete version, not an update( from say v1.xx to v2.xx), it has to be the complete v2.xx zip file.
Yes it is good practice to press install recovery every time you want to flash, just to make sure the process files haven't been altered, so that you don't end
up soft-bricking your phone...
I'm not sure you can recover multiple initial states, or even the last state given the flashing cannot be undone.... (though I've never tried....)
And as for reverting back to stock motoblur you will need to use the sbf flash, this is because no one has made a rom of the core files to restore the motoblur ui...
Sorry does this answer???
well not exactly lol you see I saw a post in greyblur where people were complaining about having to reflash sbf back to 1.2.6 in order to start over fresh n clean from a gingerblur install, and someoen suggested that if you have been using tenfars recovery rom that you could actually use that to recover from an original state when you first loaded cwm and before you loaded a rom, that way you can save a lot of time and trouble in going through and reflashing 1.2.6, rooting, and then updating rom.

Yes you can do this. But if you didn't create backups via CWM before flashing any of the ROMS then I think you are SOL. Here's what you should have done:
flash 1.2.6 -> before update root -> update to 1.5.7 -> after update root -> install CWM -> create backup via CWM recovery menu -> flash gingerblur 1.x -> create backup via CWM recvovery menu -> flash gingerblur 2.x -> create backup via CWM recovery... etc etc.
unless you want to do a fresh 1.2.6 SBF flash every time you update to the newest ROM/Theme version. But the point I'm making is backup via CWM after every major flash/change/whatever.
CWM will save the backup on your SDcard in a folder named after the date of the backup. /sdcard-ext/clockworkmod/backup/<date of backup>
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.
I'm sorry if somebody already posted that, i swear I had a look
I have a SIM unlocked AT&T MB860 Atrix with gingerblur 4.5, and I would like to try some real gingerbread goods, which means bootloader unlock and 2.3.4 HKTW.
Do I have to flash back to 1.8.3 stock sbf before actually unlocking and installing gingerbread? I heard people saying is not safe to flash sbf for SIM-Unlocked Atrix because it can cause Wi-Fi problems, is it still the case?
Second problem: I had my phone rooted, but now I don't have an external micro SD card, so I wouldn't be able to root with gingerbreak-similar methods, is this a deal breaker or there is another way to complete the process all the way through?
Thanks a lot
As a general rule, it's best to flash back to stock before flashing anything else. Because Gingerblur requires Tenfar's recovery to run, I believe this will be the best way to do this. If someone else could chime in about the SIM-unlock/wifi issue, that would be great.
As for the rooting method on 2.3.4 HKTW, it works by installing a ZIP through recovery. In my own experience, it only seems to read external SD cards. If you can make it read the internal somehow, then you should be able to root.
i was on GingerBlur 3.1 (rooted via GladRoot), and did the following over the weekend
- flashed the unlocker SBF (still on 1.8.3)
- flashed the new CWM onto the phone via fastboot
- flashed GingerBlur 4.5 using that CWM, just for a few days
- flashed the 2.3.4 IMG using the Windows x64 guide in the general forum.
ran into no problems, and the GB build was already rooted when it booted up.

If I wanted to return to the stock ROM after flashing 2.3.4, all I have to do is RSDLite flash 1.8.3 back correct and then restore using CWM?

I just did this tonight, and for some reason, I had some problems flashing the 1.8.3 SBF directly. So I downloaded the 1.2.6 (shipping) firmware and just did the updates.
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")
E:Errpr in sdcard/Bell-2.3.4.zip
(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

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?

If you want it totally stock, you need to reinstall your ROM using the stock recovery and an update.pkg, you can find all the ROM's right here .
I would recommend to flash 366, but you can also flash fine 351 or 360 (both international).

Hope this helps
Hi,
Even, I wanted to go back to the stock rom. So, tried to install the stock recovery and rom. After the installation, the phone is going into loop and now, it's saying that can't mount /dev/block/mmcb1k1p5 (or /dev/block/mmcb1k1p1) and saying that Can't mount update.pkg
Request your help with this as I am totally stuck here.
