Hi all,
I have a motorola atrix (carrier unlocked) bought from Amazon in the UK...
The system version is 4.4.35.MB860.Retail.en.GB
Firmware 2.2.2
My question is that i want to update to Gingerbread but an over the air update isnt available. It doesnt work using the update application on my PC either...
I have done some searching and found this related page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163342&highlight=gingerbread+uk
Is there anything that im missing before i follow the instructions on that post? bootloader? do i need to root the phone first etc?
It seems that is what i want, but is there someone who was in the same boat as me that wants to share what they did?
Thanks in advance guys and girls
Pete

I see the streaks that carephone wharehouse over in France and Germany have build 6267 and that was the Build that the TMOBILE 3g Beta USA streaks had
Hmm.
Bought a Streak yesterday in Berlin. Best device I´ve had.
6267
No way to root on the comitted way (no link allowed... google Superboot). Coming from HTC Hero with Villain 2.1/2.2 (sry).
The impossibility of restoring with Titanium is a litte bit _zum Schreien_
Somebody any ideas, links, soulutions? 6hrs google wasn´t helpful.
[edit] rooting solved. F* drivers. Next step: 2.1/2.2 ideas welcome[/edit]
thx LEM2k
you've managed to root on the 6267 version? how?
yes; how did you do that?

Got my Streak today.

Congrats on your streak purchase. I have the same version and can switch between at&t/tmobile, here in the US.
Can we dump the FW for the others? I think this would be nice. And how about OTA updates? Will we get them first?
Strange, that any cooker are here yet. The Streak is a greate device.

If you dump boot and system partition I can piece an update.zip together.
Hello all, I bought the same device with the same build in France and there wasn't any problem of rooting it with Universalandroot ^^... I just open a french website about this device .

Hey Onmipresent,
I just bought a T-Mobile engineering version, will get it tomorrow, how can I update to 2.1 without rooting? Can I just copy the update to the sd card and launch in bootloader? Is this safe to do? I'm new at mods, just looking for some help.. much appreciated.

Hello.
I just bough a T-mobile unlocked Samsung Vibrant and up to now it is working fine. I used the KIES software and saw that there are updates available but I don't know if it is ok to update my phone. Is it still going to work if I install the updates (or it will become locked to T-mobile again)?
I am quite new to this so I would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance

you should be fine, but It depends what kies is trying to update?
if your running stock and your just unlocked you should be fine.
but if your running a custom rom then its pointless to update through kies anyways.
Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately I am not sure what I am running. I bought the phone unlocked. When I go to the About screen, it sais Firmware version 2.1-update1, build number 'Eclair'.
If the update is for the 2.2 firmware, will I have a problem?
Is there any info on this forum where it explains things like 'What does a locked phone mean', unlocking and firmware updates?
Thanks again
Hi guys, hopefully you guys can help me.
I have rooted my Atrix and put the Firmware toi Version.4.1.83.MB860.ATTen.us
I would like to go back to Bell because they have the newest Gingerbread out, would you please send me to a tutorial on how to do this with the bell files linked?
Thanks
what bell GB are you talking about? as for how to get your device back to bell there are a number of threads that detail this. do a search in the general section.

First of all, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160408 is the answer to your question. You should not be lusting to get back to the OTA as there is a risk of hard bricking your atrix.
If you still want to go back to the Bell Gingerbread update, you should try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195922. I have tried it and it works.
Also, there is another way of getting back to the Bell Gingerbread update, try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175990&highlight=bell+atrix.
I have tried getting Bell GB with both above mentioned methods and they work, as long as you follow the instructions.
Good Luck
Cheers

Hi all,
I'd like to flash the offical Orange UK SBF service onto my Atrix (which is Orange) to restored some deleted system files. Just wondered if there are any any gotchas with this, and if anyone could recommend a specific how-to to follow for this situation? Just looking for any issues I could expect to encounter along the way
Done plenty of stuff on my Hero, so not afraid to get dirty, just need a starting point.
I've unlocked the phone with a code, in case that is important.
Cheers
well ive tried a million times the rom works great using SBF flash back no drawbacks except that webtop does not work
which is a big one for me as i use hd dock all the time!
Hey dude check out this link its the best it solved my softbrick issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944
The only uk sbf available on this thread is the old one (1.3.1) the latest (I think) is 2.1.1 at least this is the newest sbf I can find. Please correct me if I'm wrong
Hi all,
I recently purchased a new XT910K , the seller had listed it as XT910 so I didn't know that I was receiving the Korean version. Well the phone arrived, and turns out it's a really obscure variant since there is hardly any info. about it on the web. The OTA update doesn't work anymore, and I have no idea how I can update my phone. Can anyone having the same phone please help? Most of the links pertaining to the necessary files are dead. I tried searching for the solution everywhere but came up with nothing, so this is kinda like my last resort. Anyways thanks for reading, any suggestions or ideas are welcome!
