I sbf'd to 2.3.4 earlier today and installed eclipse v1.0. my question is, since flashing the new sbf did update the kernel am I still able to flash 2.3.3 based roms without issues?
I want to flash the Atrix rom port to try the webtop hdmi hack.
No and if you manage to load a 2.3.3 ROM you will not get far. You will likely end up with a boot loop. I believe this was tested in one of the other threads and the person found it failed.

This is true. I tried to go back to eclipse 0.8 after the 2.3.4 sbf and it just boot looped. This is because the kernel was updated in with the 2.3.4 sbf. The Atrix 2.3.4 port runs on the old kernel from our X2 2.3.3. I would expect trying to load the Atrix port on the new kernel will also boot loop. That's my 2 cents worth.

So as of right now i'm stuck on eclipse v1.0, not that thats a bad thing. need more 2.3.4 roms, quick. need to fix my flashing addiction. lol
Why are you stuck? Are you opposed to SBFing back to 2.3.3 for some reason?
sbf'ing just takes to long. and I really like 2.3.4
To long? That sux.
I keep the files all in one folder on my sisters computer. It only takes 15minutes max to sbf. An extra 3 to root.
Im curious what takes long about it? Do u go get a new file every time?

So, its mid July ...I'm sure the update for Gingerbread is coming ....but apparently ...mostly everyone has installed the leaked gingerbread...now I ask is it worth it to go back to stock to be able to download the new update if so how do I go back? What do I need to flash? This question has probably been answered but I couldnt find it...thanks.

Hello filmusikat,
I see that you're running gingerblur 4.5 on your atrix, so do i. You need to flash 4.1.8.3 official sbf and check for the gingerbread update regulary. I don't think the leaked gb roms are worth to spend time for now. They all have glitches which would effect daily usage.

Hi filmusikat!
The latest ROM has proven to be very stable:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169409
The instructions are included within the thread. Not addressing the unlocking part since your signature already tells you got it.
As for being worthy, I say it is. I was in Gingerblur too, and the performance difference is big.

no glitches affecting any daily usage on me for 4.5.91. 100% functional, and 100% better than froyo.
Remains to be seen which version of GB will be the official release. The leaked versions everyone is flashing may not be the most current which will be offered up.
NOTE SHE/HE NEVER MENTION GB 4.5, actually if she/he indeed installed ota gb update.zip, with you instructions she/he will have a HARD BRICK
So first thing to find out is what actually she/he has installed

I've got to say I'm very pleased... I have Gingerbread beta 4-5, hotspot enabled, webtop working perfectly via webtop-joe, Netflix - streamingly like it should. My Atrix feels like it should have come out of the box like this. I honestly don't think within the next year or two they will release another operating system better than GB and by then I'd probably be upgraded to the newest phone AT&T has... Atrix Quad core 3D with a 5" screen LOL

For the nice lady:
"If you want to confirm your status, please adb, su, and "cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm" or just open the file in Root Explorer. If you see something like:
10000000000010001000300004000
Then you should NOT SBF anything from Motorola"
If you want to post your ReservedOdm to look and see if you will be fine to SBF 1.83 again
Probably you are safe if you actually installed Kenth by CDW or moto-fastboot (boot.img and system.img)
But if you actually run the update.zip or any update trought the normal android recovery screen and if you saw the following legend "updating AP20 bootloader" in that case you CAN NOT flash any SBF from Motorola
I hope it help

Helo guys, I used to own a Samsung Galaxy S, and last week I got the Droid X2 from Verizon. So now I'm seeing new terms being used like sbf, debloat, freeze, etc...
My DX2 is root and I also have the V6 Supercharger, and I still can't get the GB update.
I believe many users on this forum have the same case as mine, so can anyone give us steps to follow in order to get the update.
Thank you so much

Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA Premium App
I came from a similar situation. I just got the x2 as a replacement for my fascinate due to repetitive missed call issues. I updated to Gingerbread today using the tips on this forum & the file posted to the mediafire link. The first thing you'll need to do for this update to work is undue all the non-stock modifications you've done.
Unsupercharge
Unfreeze or replace any stock apps you may have uninstalled. This is where the sbf comes in, it's the stock image that was loaded when it left the factory.
Unroot, might not be necessary but its better safe than sorry. Especially since this update is unrootable atm.
Rename the downloaded file update.zip & put it in the root of your sdcard-ext.
Flash from the stock recovery & you should be good.
Whatever other info you need, search these threads-its in there somewhere.

The SBF does infact restore you to stock 2.2.2
It should also be the first thing you do when you get the phone (before rooting etc) It blows my mind that people would mess with their device without doing an SBF at least once.
The SBF will usually require you to battery pull at the end, go to stock Android recovery and wipe data and cache. (unless you did that before running the SBF)
On Vista and Windows 7 make sure you right click RSDlite and choose to "run as admin"
Everyone who did the OTA or the 2.3 update from here at XDA and wants p3droids rooted update is going to have to SBF momentarily. We should get rooted 2.3 this afternoon according to p3's twitter
I unrooted my phone and uninstalled the Supercharger, I sbf'd back to stock Froyo successfully, and still I can't get the update. What else should I do?

Just to be clear.... He should eventually get an OTA update if he waits long enough. But he won't be able to root it. So follow the link above, and do those steps to install the rooted version of the update from 3Pdroid.

This will end up with a locked bootloader and no root access. This update is somewhat pointless unless you are having warranty issues.

I thought that after I wrote that. I just didn't want to man up and own up to it after making that kind of brash statement... I guess I did by posting this.
It's cool. The first thought through my head was "He only has 61 posts and joined in April of this year. Is this legit?"
I am sure the devs here will pick it apart and let us know if anything is wrong, but that is how things get released from what I have seen. They just appear in the most unlikely post. Thanks OP.
The sbf file is 455MB. The filesonic site charges $9 for any file above 400MB. Any chance we could get the file hosted somewhere else that would not charge for it? I would love to have it, but I am not paying $9 for it. I already have an sbf for 2.2.2
All you have to do is reflash it, then your phone picks up 2.3.3 via over the air update.
I think this happened when the 2.2.2 sbf was released. Someone posted it on a site that charged for large downloads. Then someone else posted the same sbf on a free site.
Could we do this with this GB sbf?

Just to clarify. So no one is confused. What you pay for is bandwidth, if you CHOOSE to become a premium member of Filesonic.
My files are free to download. My user settings are set to 1GB max for free users. The 400MB limit always appears if you are not a premium member. But if you TRY to download it first, like most people do, you will find out that you can.
Thanks. Sorry to confuse anyone. I should keep my confusion to myself...

You do not have to go back to froyo. As a matter of speaking, it will not work if you go all the way back to froyo because you still need a gb kernel.
Never mind. I'm wrong for not reading. I didn't realize that you were on stock gb. With stock gb, yes you need to go back.
Once you are on rooted GB, you can use the bootstrap recovery to flash any of the custom roms available for GB without going back to froyo every time. The real chore is getting rooted.

Sweet so we can always switch roms! nice, dang, I wish I could have someone root my phone lol

3. Install bootstrap for your phone.

What do you mean by bootstrap. When I first rooted I had an app that let me boot into recovery. Is that bootstrap? If so once i updated to p3's gb I don't see that app anymore. This is probably a really lame issue, but some clarification would be greatly appreciated!
Once on p3's GB, reinstall the bootstrap recovery app, and use it to flash the eclipse rom.
