Ok, I have a Motorola atrix AT&T, but live in Australia i wanted an unbranded one, but apparently there's no such thing.
I unlocked my bootloader and flashed cm7 then once i had my fill of it i tried flashing gingerblur, which resulted in softbricking my handset a number of times. So after all that playing around i used sbf to flash back the standard moroblur 2.3.4 4.5.91 gingerbread rom.
Today when i had all screen animations on after factory resetting it to see if there would be any change in the ram (total 817/ free 317), i noticed that i still have the screen off animation! is this normal? Or is it that there are still remnants of the previous rom still on my phone?
Im currently reading up on how to wipe everything and wanting to know if its possible to do all this then install the standard rom??
Thanks for all your replies in advance.
The stock ROM 2.3.4 came with those animations...
I piss excellence
thanks, I didn't know t screen off crt was available. Pity there nit further controls to just use that without all the other animations.

Hi, I have an issue with the notification bar. It automatically pops up when I unlock my phone. Roughly this happens once every 3-5 times I unlock the phone. It's annoying because it blocks the screen and I have to manually close the notification bar every time this happens.
I'm using a Singapore version of Streak with stock Starhub Android. Version 2.2, build number 12903. Any help is appreciated. I'm sure it's not related to Launcher pro because I tried other launcher and this happens.
It's a bug in the stock roms from about that age, i think it also happened 322 which was released roughly the same time. Only way to get rid of it is to wait for them to release a newer starhub rom or upgrade to an unlocked/retail rom.
On an unrelated note: would it be possible for you to provide a nandroid dump of it? 320 (your rom) isnt available on the ota server and it would help a lot to have a nandroid dump of it.
How can I do that? Care to share some guides? I'm new to this.
If I make such a dump, does it mean I or anybody else can restore to this version if need be? I'd be glad to if that's the case.
Do you know how to use fastboot? there are instructions on how to install clockwork or streakmod in the dev subforum.
Having a nandroid dump means that if you or anyone messes with their 320 install and bricks they'll be able to restore it without having to take it back to dell for support since none are currently available
Nandroid always hang at backing up firstboot. I myself have updated from starhub 320 to 351 to get rid of the notification bug.

OK... I've updated to 351 as well. Exploring the new firmware now
I have a Atrix for about 2 months.
Recently the phone reboots itself every few days for no apparent reason.
How can I check what is causing this problem?
Stock? Or you have custom roms? I know in 1.2.6 and 1.5.7 I had random reboots on stock must have been the firmwares but on 1.8.3 no restarts for me
AT&T ATRIX - VERSION 2.3.4 ROOTED BL UNLOCKED
Thanks for your reply.
stock, rooted 1.83.
I'm looking for a way to debug what can cause this behavior.
Where did you purchase it from? Take it back for an exchange if you can.
Sometimes the radio plays up.
You must flash it back to total stock, from here if you still have issues i would be thinking you have a hardware problem.
I'm still looking for solution that i will not need to start from scratch
I just uninstall my go launcher pro and same widget's and will see if its help.
If not i will wait for the new version coming soon 2.3.4.
Not the same as what Noob4Life is posting.
First of all, I'm in the UK and was running the stock 2.2 or whatever was the stock was for Orange in the UK a month back, until I finally decided to upgrade to CM7.
A few weeks went by, all was awesome. Until last week my Wifi stopped working, my bluetooth stopped working and my Mobile hotspot stopped working. And looking around on a few posts on here, it seems that it is hardware based.
So what I'm asking is, does anyone know of a way I can go back to the stock 2.3 that has just been released in the UK? So it seems like I never did anything to the phone and then I can see if it is infact hardware, or software based. So if it is hardware related, I'm hoping I'll be able to get a free repair / replacement, as I have insurance. But from what I've seen, it will cost me if I take it in with CM7 on.
Thanks for any help anyone is able to provide.

Like Sexywacko said, first try out a fruitcake or another rom - best to take the new AT&T with the corresponding radio found here.
If it still doesn´t work, try another one. If all goes bad, you have to get the SBF from the OrangeUK GB-Update found here - extract the system, boot and webtop + the radio and fastboot flash those. This comes as close to stock as you can get without using SBF+RSDlite...This post will help you.
And don´t be afraid - I read on multiple occasions, that people had no problem getting their unlocked/rooted devices repaired without any waranty-problems. Just don´t tell them!
Thanks for the help guys.
Just put Fruitcakes "2.3.5 System and Boot NO Webtop" on, and turning wifi on is still causing " error " and causing a reboot.
How do I install new radio things? I'm a complete noob at this, and only put Cyanogenmod on using a guide ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336232 )
And now it's stuck rebooting all the time because it's trying to turn Wifi on.
Flash the 36P radio from the Fruitcakes thread through CWM in the same way you flashed 2.3.5. Remember to wipe cache first in CWM.
Well installing the 36p seems to have done the trick. Thanks alot dude!
Updated to Fruit Cakes 2.3.5 System and Boot NO Webtop with ATT 1.77-36p radio. Seems to have fixed the problem.
Don't want to risk putting Cyanogen back on incase it stops working again.
Thanks for your help again guys

I am using CM7 weekly #3 with Faux stopgap+ 1.0GHz kernel and 36P radio with no issues. Works very well for me.
It's stopped working again. Stupid thing. Going to try and restore it to stock orange ROM and see if that fixes it.
Anyone able to help?
Think I'm just going to give up and " Accidently " drop my phone in the bath and claim on insurance. This having no wifi is doing my head in. I've tried CM7 with " ATT .91 Radio " and " ATT 1.77-36p " radios. And I've tried Fruitcakes 2.3.5 System and Boot NO Webtop with " ATT .91 Radio " and " ATT 1.77-36p " radios and still no success in getting wifi to work for over 2 hours without crashing my phone / not working again.
Motorola Phone Tools isn't picking my phone up properly, it's just picking up my IMEI number, not my Carrier or Model.
Must say I'm at my wits end.
Its obviously. A hardware issue do. A insurance clame. On it cause it sours like the radio is broken

I'm afraid it's looking that way.
Well I've decided to try RSD as my last resort to try and get my phone wifi working. I unlocked the bootloader and installed cyanogen using this Guide. I then put Fruitcakes 2.3.5 System and Boot NO Webtop on and the radio mentioned in this Thread with little success at getting it fully working.

What I'm asking is, realistically, what is the chance of bricking?
Looking to do the same, currently unlocked and rooted running CM7.
Is it possible to install the official 2.3.4 orange UK and have it locked with root access removed?

I downloaded the latest RSD and downloaded this image
Booted phone up in RSD mode ( power button + Volume Up ) then plugged it into my computer. Waited for all the drivers to install. Opened RSD, loaded the image and set it going. Do not unplug it at all until it says " Please boot up phone manually " or something along those lines.
Once it'd done it was loop booting, so I booted it into Android Recovery after pulling my battery out ( Power Button + Volume Down ) and then pressed the Volume up and Volume Down buttons together to get the menu up, then chose " Wipe date/Factory reset " and then " Wipe cache partition " and let it boot up again. Didn't solve my Wifi problem though.
Phoned Orange up today, explained that my wifi, bluetooth and hotspot all stopped working and that I'd already done a factory reset and updated to gingerbread. The guy was shocked that I'd basically done everything on his menu to try and solve the problem. They are sending a guy out tomorrow to give me a replacement phone for £25 on my insurance. Winner!
I bought a Rezound on ebay, pre-rooted/unlocked with the leaked ICS / Sense 3.6 ROM (besides that, pretty much bone-stock)
I decided I wanted to try out a different ROM and make sure I am familiar with the process before I try to do the S-OFF process....
Well, I found that the first thing I needed to do to upgrade to (insert ICS/Sense 4 Rom here) was to upgrade to the newest Firmware (3.11.605.22), and I am currently on 3.11.605.01 ... I followed their instructions closely to update the firmware ( re-lock , load new FW as PH98IMG.zip , flash it , unlock, etc)
Well, that didn't work for me, when I got to loading up hboot and it automatically updating the FW, it didn't do what the instructions said it would, it showed a dark blue bar near the top/right, waited for that to complete, then same thing but yellow, that completed and asked to reboot, but would only reboot to fastboot...
eventually I unlocked it again and it allowed me to return to my ROM (normal ICS/sense 3.6)
Sorry about this short story... lol ^
Basically I cannot for the life of me install any rom with success... I can't even restore the nandroid I made last night (before any of this) with success..
the CLOSEST thing to success I got was installing newts One XxX sense 4 rom, it booted, and will sit on the lock screen just fine, but when I try to unlock and go to settings to turn off animations (like instructed) it will freeze and reboot....
DO I need to install the newest FW???
OR what do I need to dooo?
Pls help! I am fairly familiar with android, as I had a D Inc before this, evervolv ICS etc etc....
Thanks alot anyone !

If you want to go back to a GB rom you need to reflash the boot image that came with it. If you want a sense 4.0 to work you need to flash the old firmware patch. For the patch I have attached it. Flash it via recovery and your rebooting on a sense 4.0 rom/ new firmware rom should be gone. (don't forget to follow the OP for Newts rom about disabling animations btw) for the boot images look to the op of the rom you are running.

Ok thanks for the reply, I did install the "old firmware patch" included with Newts XxX Sense 4 ROM, and I can successfully get the ROM to boot, it doesn't operate very well, and only for a few minutes because it will freeze and reboot. It doesn't allow me to get to the settings, no matter how fast I try to get there, it ALWAYS freezes before I can access the setting :/ ...

Hmm.. wow I'm lost. I had the same issues before I installed the patch, but after I didn't and it went fine. I'm going to have to think about this one for awhile.

Okay after flashing the ^above^ patch, the rom seems to work now, it didn't freeze so I was able to turn off animations and now it works might fine
Do you know by chance any good kernels for an ICS/Sense 4 ROM?
the stock one was draining faster than it was charging (while plugged in lol)
So I tried out the 1.836 OC kernel and it seems to be working fine, but I am interested more in battery life than performance right now, coming from the DInc, this phone is buttery smooth and doesn't REALLY need OC just yet (for me anyway)
Thanks for the help by the way!
Hi,
I have an Atrix4g international (Uk retail) which is rooted and unlocked. Until about a week ago I had been running Aura ROM with a days 1.45 kernel. This was all good but I experienced some 3g data problems.
In the end I got fed up of not being able to download pictures when I received an mms and decided to flash back to my original rom. Once done I thought maybe the over clock 1.45 kernel would work with the stock ROM. It didn't and failed but I then noticed my wifi showed error where it usually said connected.
I reflashed my stock room from my recovery backup and it started working ok again. Both times I flashed my recovery it said error with recovery but the phone details read as it did before when it had the original ROM as it was bought.
Since doing I this I have noticed my phone being really laggy.... I also noticein advanced task killer that I never seek to have more than 80mb free ram.
I checked this against task manager and titanium backup and they seem to agree with the figures tb actually said I was using 100% at one point.
I even tried a factory reset fearing the hard brick stories.
I have wiped the davlik and cache and perfomed a factory wipe from recovery mode
Looks like I have a problem..
Anyone got any ideas on how to rectify this.... Is it likely to be anything to do with partitioning???
You atrix geniuses out there are my last hope so I thank you in advance for any wisdom.
Are you using the stock Gingerbread ROM from your carrier? If so, it sounds like you might need to flash a kernel that has the international RAM fix. Try downloading and flashing this if you're on stock Gingerbread.
http://faux.androidro.ms/Atrix-GB-Kernel-024r-ext4-1.00GHz.zip
That's the 1Ghz kernel made by faux123 for Gingerbread ROMs. After you flash that check to see that you have more RAM available.

You absolute diamond!
Thank you so much.... Perfect fix 556mb ram free and phones running as fast as a priest being chased out of the playground.
You guys on here give priceless advice (most of the time so glad peeps like you take the time to help peeps like me...
Magic!
I'm sorry but I saw the title and just heard this in my head....
Lag city chick, lag lag city chick.... (Tyga - Rack city... stupid song)
Don't ask.
Glad to see you've solved your problem though
Knock on effect??!!
Although I now have many many more rams than an Afghani goat hearder this process has thrown up another problem. The same error message is showing up where it usually says connected under wiring settings and wiring will not activate or connect.
Yes I was trying to flash back to my stock rom (via cm rom manager-reboot into recovery-restore.....)
Ok so the story continues...
after receiving your advice I flashed the file you linked to. And as I reported ram was up dramatically but then when I tried to connect to wifi it wouldn't. I went to settings -wireless settings- checked wiring on check box to turn it on and underneath in grey writing it threw up the message "error" where it usually says "connecting..." or "connected" etc
I went back through cmrm to recovery mode and did the wipe data-wipe cache-restore rom again but did not reflash the file you linked... checked wifi and worked but ram had gone again.
Went back into clement and went through whole process in one. Ie factory data wipe-wipe cache-restored ROM-flashed file you linked to....
Set up phone again checked wifi and still shows error. But my rams are back...
???? Puzzled!
Dont suppose you have an idea whats going on?

Thats strange cos thats what I was thinking when I wrote it... lol
Problems not yet entirely solved though..... :-(
Desperation is now setting in
Just an update... and help to solve this is really appreciated.
I have trawled the site and others regarding wifi error.
People seem to suggest its a number of things either hardware or software flashing kernels roms radios wifi fix zips etc etc
I can confirm my problem is not hardware.
I flashed back to aura and wifi function is back. And rams up to normal.....
but I have the original problem I cannot send or download pictures when received via mms.
Is there a fix for this?
I assume not and so therefore would like to ask the question does anyone know of a Stock ATRIX international (uk) retail Rom that is compattable with an ATRIX international (uk) retail phone that has been rooted and unlocked.
For some reason my recovery must be corrupt and is giving me jip.
Maybe someone knows why my recovery isn't working and knows how to fix it?
Thanks all in advance...
When I had the problem with wifi reporting just "error", I fixed it by just redownloading the kernel and reflashing it. Maybe try another recovery if that doesn't work, but I don't know why it wouldn't. :|
The wifi problem is most likely the kernel. Since you are on Aura now though with no data or MMS I would recommend changing your APN settings. Try googling the correct APNs for your carrier and changing them under Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names.

Why dont you try Nottachtrix if you want a blur based rom, or Neutrino for a cm7 based rom?
What recovery are you using? If you arent using Romracers recovery, try flashing his and seeing if his recovery fixes your problem.
