I've unlocked my bootloader on my relatively stock Orange UK Froyo Atrix. Now I've lost most of my RAM which I was aware of but looking through the fixes they ONLY apply to Gingerbread ROMS is this correct? Here's all the threads I've read...

Is there no way to recover the RAM on the standard Orange UK Froyo ROM?
Thanks
Yes just flash the IHOP in that first thread you posted.
In the future don't open multiple threads for one issue. Sometimes it takes a bit of time before someone responds.
Which IHOP from where? I've already falshed the one from the Pudding thread and I have 380MB of RAM. If you read the tentative RAM fix thread it says it ONLY applies to Gingerbread NOT Froyo.

My Kernel version is this if it helps:
2.6.32.9

hmmm there was an sbf that I used that both allowed you to unlock + had the ram fix I assume it does the same thing (which is flash the boot img) so the question out to the world is it save to flash a 2.3.4 boot img on froyo?
I believe the answer is yes, but if i'm wrong I don't know of any 2.2 boot img files you can use to revert, you would have to flash the orange 2.2 sbf again
EDIT
everything i have read suggests this will not be a problem. If it were me I would give it a go. maybe wait a bit to see if anyone sees this and yells NO!
Well I thought the same thing but the orange fr thread put me off is it says its only for 2.3.4...
If I feel brave and try it i'll let you know if it works!

What sbf did you flash btw? I can only assume you flashed the same as me?

I felt brave...
After flash it boots (eventually) into Froyo...
However...
The touch screen doesn't work!
So I'm going to have to flash to Gingerbread I think.
FLASHING TO GINGERBREAD SOLVED MY TOUCHSCREEN PROBLEM
SO TO SUMMARISE. DO NOT FLASH THE BOOT IMAGE FROM GINGERBREAD IF YOU WANT TO STAY ON FROYO
sorry wish i saw this before us went ahead. I would have posted the sbf I used, not sure if it was the same as I don't see it referenced much. and its only on my home computer. Glad your device is up and running though. I assume when you did it you got the one that matches your device.
I'm not really sure what sbf you are talking about? Its the boot .img that gets falshed to fix the ram issue. Theres no sbf that will solve it as far as I can see?
yeah when i get home if I have a chance I will upload or find the post
Thanks. If you find it that post should be stickied.

i'm also interested by that.
My Atrix Orange FR run only ~380MB Ram since i unlock bootloader :S
Version Système : 4.4.20.MB860.Orange.en.FR
Version Android : 2.2.2
Version de bande de base : N_01.100.00R
Version Webtop : WT-1.2.0-121
Numéro de build : OLYEM_U4_4.2.0
Why did you unlock your bootloader on Orange FR? There is already an Orange FR 2.3 build? Anyways, it's easily remedied... just upgrade to 2.3 here:

I've unlocked bootloader in order to upgrade to ORFR 2.3.4 ( the link you give me ) because the official Gingerbread ROM isn't already available but had some troubles with wifi ( i can't connect to my home network ), so I go back to stock ROM ( backed up with CWM ).
But now I've a RAM problem
problem solved. i've flashed back to the stock ROM using SBF available here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944&highlight=firmware

flash GB bootloaders then you can flash any GB rom over whatever rom
theres ways to do it without the bootloaders but you'll get rainbow screen on boot and wont be able to see recovery
Flash using GB bootloader,it can fix rainbows and use any GB ROM

bootloaders 1st
cant flash straight to a GB rom from froyo without them
only rom i know of that can be is SH3.3, can flash that from froyo without them then flash whatever other GB rom you want through rom manager i think (i did this because i dont trust odin)
some have .tar files so you can flash them through odin to get to GB but voodoo sometimes messes up so you still need the bootloaders to go to recovery and disable it if it does
easiest way's to flash the bootloaders then just flash whatever GB over whatever
thanks again
i have flashed using gb boot loader
i am going to try Simply Honey 4.0 Revolution(JVQ GB 2.3.4) custom rom.

all GB roms are taken from i9000 because we dont have an official GB for our phones
dont know what its because of why calls dont work for some people, they worked for everyone on 2.3.3 i think
dont think radio works because there isnt any radio drivers for our phone so just uninstall it
video calling is there for the people that have put an FFC into their vibrant, it doesnt change anything
MIUI FTW
If you wanna flash a GB ROM trust me MIUI 1.29.11 is the way to go. You will be surprised how nice it is. Just give it a try.
P.S. I flashed it coming from a 2.2 ROM (trigger 3.3) without flashing bootloader. Just did the same old flashing process (wipe,wipe,wipe)
well,
i am on 2.3.4 and i want to reverse back to a 2.3 rom "Team Toxic "Crazy8".
so i do have to install old bootloaders according to them.
anyone got a idea how to do that ?
thanks

i came from bionix 131 was a great rom but get ready for bad assness
1. assuming you have cwm, flash cwm recovery, pick vibrant mtd, click yes then chose clockworkmod 2.x
2. go to download rom, go to cyanogen nightlies and pick perhaps the highest build number unless it has really bad remarks.
3. do the usual clear cache, clear dalv, flash it, fix permissions
let it boot and sit for a few and hold on to your panties...lol
nope gps does not work. but from what i remember bionix gps was pretty spotty as well
dont forget to wipe data, anyways reading some of the posts. simply galaxy is cool, love the blue but cm7 is waaaaay smoother and highly customizable. and you dont need to flash gb bootloaders. and if you want to go back once you flashed gb loaders, your gonna gave to get froyo boots back, from what i remember. cm7 has made it too easy to flash, was kind of tricky in the beginning, but did it for the fun of it
does anyone know where
/how you get back to the stock ginger bread kernel after flashing to a custom one?

I would like to know the answer to this as well, the supposedly full sbfs posted are actually service sbfs. They save your data and actually introduce bugs into your phone. My back button is the only capacitive key that works now.

Hello, i'm italian so sorry for my poor english...!!!
I have an atrix ORANGE UK, already rooted and unlocked with gingerbreak.
On my phone i read:
system version 4.1.31.MB860 Orange.en.gb
Android 2.2.2
Baseband n_01.86.00r (not the latest)
Webtop ver
Oshwt_u1_6.34.0
Buld
OLYEM_U4_1.3.1
1- I want to flash a custom rom, like the INTL Darkside 2.0, but i read that the faux123's kernel is optimized for the latest baseband....is it right?
And what will happen if i flash a not INTL rom (or just after i don't flash the fixed kernel)?
2- If i check for updates an alert inform me that a 40mb OTA update is available for download...have i to install it or will it brick my phone...???
3-So what have i to do before i can flash safely?
That's my 1st android phone after 7 years with windows mobile....and i have flashed several time various WM phones.
i read A LOT of threads on this forum but i'm VERY confused...too much informations mixed from AT&T e INTL......
Thanks a lot!!
Mirko
Don't worry about the baseband. As long as you are bootloader unlocked and you flash a kernel that is international and tegra part identifying.
Darkside does flash the fight kernel by itself so you can go ahead. I believe that the update is safe(not certain though) but is unnecessary if you are going to flash a rom

searching dev forum returned this list of firmwares http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944. Find your country/carrier and go for it.
As an alternative, I have used Aura (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186990) and was better than stock for me and includes webtop.
If you feel adventurous again, try miui-us V4 2.3.16 also in the dev forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383721).

You said your atrix is unlocked (or are you on Atrix2 since you mention Supercharged A2?), then root, install romracer's cwm for atrix and use cwm to reset, clear data and cache, then flash a rom of your choice.
All available in the dev section.

Downgrading the version risk bricking. I soft bricked mine when I went from 2.3.6(prior to a few ROMs) to 2.3.4.

Yes. You can download the 2.3.6 fruitcake from fruitcake backup thread and flash via CWM. Then the 2.3.6 webtop and flash via CWM. Remember to perform a full wipe first.

Hi,
I was updating my strak 5 from stock Froyo to official gingerbread from http://streakblog.blogspot.in/2011/12/dell-released-official-gingerbread.html , in this a file is mentioned "recovery image of version 350", its link is dead; can anybody here give the updated link for this file. Thanks.
Updated links have been posted several times already, so search for them if you want them. That said, going to one of the DSC ROMs would be better than going to the stock Gingerbread ROM. The 407 ROM has a lot of bugs in it that have been fixed in the aforementioned ROMs.

@vickkr,
I could not agree more with @Strephon Alkhalikoi. You could do more, have more improvement on your DS5 using any Custom ROMs.
But if you still insist on getting Stock ROM 350 ... and perhaps then OTA to 407, by all means you can visit xda Dell Streak 5 wiki page at link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak --- Scroll down to a table of Official rom and you find 350 pkg and recovery, click to link download ---
FYI, I did tried to flash to 406 or 407 many times directly using their respective recovery, but failed every time. I got message, "Fail to mount mnt/sdcard (cannot find files) ... well something like that.
BTW, I need 407 installed before flashing certain Custom ROM, example MOKEE OS - stated as required as starting points before flashing MOKEE OS Custom ROM. The only method I had success was to go to 350 first and OTA to 407. I have not figure out why it never work, while others have claimed that they can flash either to 406 and/or 407 directly on their DS5. note: OTA = Over The Air Update of ver.350 to ver.407.
Currently I going to try DSC Custom ROM. I got mixed understanding if 406/407 is required first before flashing the ROM, some say must, some say no need.
BTW, use the search menu, you probably will find what you need on DS5 all here in xda then on other sites. Perhaps you could use this as the starting point: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=695
Good Luck. :good:
