Ok, so I purchased a Atrix for AT&T from a guy on craigslist. The phone was rooted, so I used RSD lite to go back to stock GB which was on there. Keep in mind my first time and no problems. Everything works except the camera icon on the desktop. I click it and nothing. I looked in the app draw and it is not there either. So i fragged it into the trash. Found an apk blurcamera, it attempts to install but i get an error application not installed when attepmting to install. Anyone help with a stock Atrix apk please for the GB 4.5.91 please, thanks. I also fif a search with no luck.
Nevermind I figured it out. I didnt delete everything off the phone prior to installing the stock fw. Its back after wiping the phone. Thanks anyway.

I want to completely wipe my Atrix and start fresh. I have done a bunch of different things and I know there is some residual crap left on the phone. I backed up all of my pictures and music along with apps using Titanium. I tried searching for the last hour or so and keep getting an error message. TIA!
I just purchased my Atrix today, and from what I've been able to find in a short time, this might be what you're looking for:
http://www.techofweb.com/technology/flashing-sbf-atrix-4g.html
and the .sbf file for 1.8.3 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056268
After the upgrade, you can use the "reset to factory defaults" within the phone Settings
then follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017373
I came across these while trying to get a clean 1.8.3 install on this new phone (auto-update wasn't find anything past 1.5.2). Good luck!
I'm wondering the same thing.....So if I wanted to go back to COMPLETELY stock, where I first got it from the store, I would flash to 1.26, update to 1.57, update to 1.83, and then I would have a stock upgraded phone? From that point I could gingerbreak, root, etc.
Can you use the 1.8.3 sbf to go to a brand spanking new OS/load? Or does it just upgrade the phone? Basically, if I want to start from scratch, do i have to go all the way back to 1.2.6?
Did a bit of msg editing there, but I've only been able to get the sbf file to upgrade so far. But upgrading to 1.8.3 then resetting seems okay to me.

I bricked my phone trying to uninstall Gingerblur Beta 7.7 and then trying to reinstall it because my phone would still not allow me to update. I am able to get back into gingerblur beta but everything has been wiped and my wifi will not work. I am looking for a step by step solution on what to do to get me back to factory stock setting. I want my phone to be like it was on day one. What must I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
follow this guide, flash the sbf 1.26 to get your back to stock, day one on at&t: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072&highlight=sbf
Did gingerblur backup my data? I thought i remembered that when it flashes it backs stuff up. If not I suck.
gingerblur flashes on top of whatever you have, it doesnt wipe. everything should be kept. What is strange to me is what are you talking about gingerblur beta 7.7? I think you were on a very oldd version. it's not longer called beta and there's a new version 3.0 out.
definitely start over, flash sbf back to 1.26 then go through the upgrade and rooting process again.
So I have downloaded all required items but when I try to find the sbf file in rsd lite its not where i extracted it. Any suggestions?
Found it. Currently flashing. Thanks.
Ok, so first off, I was interested in the prospect of using the Droid3 camera because I heard it was better and supported high speed video recording (something that I really want on the Atrix) but I heard that you had to be Deodexed. Well, I knew that if I unlocked my bootloader and installed a custom ROM such as Alien or CherryPie, it would work, but I didn't want to unlock my bootloader. I was rooted though.
So then I decided to google how to manually deodex, and I came across the program xUltimate whatever, followed the directions (although it seemed to be intended for the Droid and not the Atrix, I don't think I should've done that) and part of the process through running xUltimate, I got a message saying that I was out of space on my Atrix relating to the process it was in the middle of doing, and was like, oh crap.
My phone didn't start, but I had made a recovery a couple of days earlier in Tenfar's CMW, so I went to restore that. Then when that was restoring, it froze on some process when it was restoring, and I let it try and try for hours, but to no avail, because it had been hours and it was still stuck on the same spot. So I restarted my phone.
Well, then upon my phone starting, everything was gone in terms of my apps, and the stock gingerbread background was there. I thought, well, maybe it's fine and I'll just restore my apps with TiBu, and everything will be fine. That wasn't the case at all because any app that I downloaded from the market with the exception of a few would automatically force close. So I couldn't get TiBu to work, or Superuser, or anything.
So at that point I knew that I had seriously messed up some files on my phone, and I decided I was gonna flash .sbf. So I got the stock 2.3.4 .sbf and flashed it with RSD Lite 5.3.1.
It flashed gingerbread, and when it rebooted, everything looked fine and dandy, but it was exactly the same problem, where apps would force close.
Then as a last hope of solving the problem I tried to use fastboot to recover my phone with the nandroid backup that I had made, but it said that the image file was too large. And that also probably has something to do with the fact that I can't actually use fastboot to do that unless I have an unlocked bootloader, right?
So my question is, how can I fix it? How can I start over fresh (since flashing .sbf didn't wipe everything) so that those system files that I messed with when I was running the deodexing utility are returned to their proper state?
I mean, at the moment, it works as a phone, it receives and makes calls, and I can send texts and take pictures, and use the stock browser, but no other app will open.
And secondly, has anyone gotten the 120fps video recording working with the d3 camera apk?
But of course, more importantly, how do I get out of this rut?
Thank you so much and I'm really sorry for writing so much, I just wanted to give you as much info as possible so that you could come up with the best answer. And I apologize for my stupidity,
Thanks again,
did you try a factory restore after the sbf flash? you have to do that to restore the phone to the orignal state. flashing the.sbf doesn't do it...

Glad your sorted as to your fastboot problem. Use moto fastboot as it splits large files for you.

So, I thought I had fixed the problem, but after unlocking the bootloader, I installed Alien, and the radio is all wonky...I'm not getting service 99% of the time, and that's kinda really bad, and, yes I checked the APNs, and there were no problems there (at least I think, I restored default) and I even tried flashing a radio, which made no difference. And I know that flashing using RSD is bad but I didn't know better at the time so I reflashed stock Gingerbread 4.5.91, but the radio problem is still there.
And could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong because I've tried flashing two different roms (Alien and the Star Wars one) and it seems as if its not actually doing everything that it should, for example the star wars one, there is no camera app, or rather it force closes, and the bootanimation and boot image are stock at&t, and the lockscreen is default....and I even checked the build.prop which should have been modified for the d3 camera and it wasn't modified, which led me to think that anything that involved root access didn't work when flashing the rom. Further proof for that idea is that after I flashed either rom, I lost root access and had to re-root my phone.
This is really weird, and it's starting to bug me because now my phone can't even be used as a phone
Thank you for your help.
Well, I'm new to the android world and found some very nice tips and tricks.. however I've come to an problem. Was tinkering with Rom Toolbox to find icons that I liked as I do not like the default ones.. but it seems none of the 1% work and every other one i've tried for the battery goes to 20%.
Before installing them it said to back up and I did however it didnt seem to save them and when I try to restore default icons its greyed out. Tried everything I could think of and nothing worked..
Where can I download
Blur.Version.651.73.240.XT910.Rogers.en.CA ROM
so that I can literally turn my phone back into right out of the box icons and all..
and on that note.. is there a way to save the ROM once i do restore it so if i come to this issue again I can easily put it back on.
ANY and ALL help is greatly appreciated.
No one has this ROM?

I'm looking for this one too!
Ditto, I would like to obtain it also.
I actually haven't molested my RAZR rom yet and I do happen to have that version. However, I'm not too well versed in ripping roms off of a phone. Maybe if there was a comprehensive guide on how to do so, I could help you guys out.
Hey! I had made a thread a while ago with a Nandroid of the stock rogers rom you can restore with cwm. Search it up and restore it. You should be able to go back to out of the box condition. Also make sure you follow the edited instructions. Good luck and let me know if it works well or if you need any help.

There is the link for the stock rogers nandroid thread.
Thanks!
Thanks so much! Worked perfectly for restoring! Now that I have those crappy apps I removed, back on the phone, I'll hopefully be able to update!
After countless hours of research, I decided to unlock my bootloader and to root my Motorola Atrix 4G. With success, I was happy to have everything working and installed the Darkside Custom Rom. I let a friend borrow my phone, and they saw the AT&T system update and they decided to install it. They bring back the phone and the system update has finished and was installing. The phone powers off and starts to install the update. 10% into the install, it stops, and I got the little green droid man with the /!\ behind him. I take out my battery, place it back in after 30seconds. It powers on, boots up, powers off and tries to load the update again. I restart it, but this time quickly going into RomManager and starting it up in Recovery Mode. I go to restore the phone using the file I backed up from the TitaniumBackUp app, everything backs up except the system. I plug my phone into my laptop, and everything is in the folder. I performed a system/factory reset, downloaded the last Gingerbread update, but nothing helps. Anything I try to load it says "Installation aborted". No matter if it's the original update or a ROM I download. Looking up other forums, I notice others that have downloaded the Darkside ROM have had the same; if not similar issues. I apologize for the length of this message, but I wanted to put in as much detail as I could so you know exactly what the issue is. I look forward to hearing from someone, and thank you in advance!!!
You probably need to sbf it back to a stock ROM and start over. I had a similar problem when I first got my Atrix and the AT&T update first came out. I had already rooted it and didn't unlock the bootloader yet. It tried to update and bricked the phone. Got AT&T to give me another though as I had just got the thing.

Thanks a ton! How would I go about doing that?
You need to download motorola RSD app to you computer. Search XDA for stock firmwares and download one. You will then need to use the button combo to get in to RSD. Connect the phone to your computer and make sure it recognizes. I had an issue where one of my laptops would not recognize the phone for anything. I had to use a different laptop. Once it's done you should be back to stock. The bootloader should be unlocked still. Just root and flash your ROM of choice.
