To be honest, I am confused...
I have an Atrix that I just got a few days ago and its running CM7 (4.5.91 or whatever that is)
And I just wanna revert back to stock. Im gonna install "fruitcake" in just a minute but i'd rather just have a STOCK phone.
I looked into it and couldn't make up how to do it after reading.
Any help is appreciated. Just point me to a guide on how to do it or direct me.
Thanks,.. Seriously

first of all, 4.5.91 is the MOTOBlur versioning, not CM7....they are 2 completely different things.
secondly, fruitcakes is stock. not really sure what you are looking for....

When I go to settings on the phone and I scroll down to the bottom and look at system version, its on "4.5.91" BUT I know for a fact its running CM7
Fruitcake is Stock, BUT I want the phone to be fully reset to stock. No Custom Recovery, No Unlocked Bootloader. None of it.

thats too bad. once you have unlocked the bootloader there is no going back. once unlocked, always unlocked
what is the reason for wanting to get rid of everything? you can run a stock rom with the bootloader unlocked and custom recovery. those things do not inhibit or reduce functionality at all.
Not to doubt you, but exactly how are you convinced that you are running cm7? If you are showing 4.5.91 as system version then you are most definitely not on cm7.
Its the build #

you should have bought a new phone =P you're unlocked for life. not that it will affect you in any way if you choose not to use it.

I've been searching and reading for the past two hours. I currently have stock Vibrant with the new J16 OTA update. I want to root my phone and install a custom rom. I see there are many ways to root, but can someone guide me to a tutorial that guides me through the best way to Rooting and flashing a custom rom? Secondly, is there a tutorial on how to get back to original factory rom for warranty?
Thank you

My $0.02, skip the FroYo ROMs for now, they are all broken to some extent. Bionix Fusion, for me anyway, is the best and most stable custom ROM available for the Vibrant. EVERYTHING works, and it is fast and rock solid!
Root Vibrant
Bionix Fusion 1.1
You can't go wrong from those links.

Quoted for truth, Bionix is magic.
Hello,
I just flashed my wifi gtab 10.1 with the stock touchwiz ux rom via odin from the development thread.
Now, whenever i start the download mode on my tab, following is coming up:
http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=733&d=1304696743
The shown one here is from a S2, but I get exactly the same screen with my gtab.
Before I flashed it via odin this screen wasn't there and I got directly into download mode.
Even restoring the normal stock rom or installing cwm didn't remove it.
Am I the only one with this warning screen and is it possible to remove it again?
Thanks in advance.
So nobody knows something about this? That's sad. =/
Edit: Sorry for double posting, wanted to edit.
its nothing much
just means you've flashed a ROM
So it's absolutely normal that this warning screen will pop up everytime I start the download mode from now, because I flashed a ROM one time?
Also, there is no way to remove it?
Thanks so far.
on the Galaxy S II you can either get a usb jig or do that flash/reflash trick but on the Tab i dont think there's anything yet. but hey thats no big deal !
....DELETE
No, I think it came with the latest official ROM. I just got my tab the other day, brand new. The firmware on it is XXKG8. I haven't added anything, and as I said, it's new.
I get that message before download mode. I have been actually hesitating to root it because of this, thinking that they have added some sort of counter like on the SGS2.
So this is not the result of adding a rom, it appears on brand new retail tabs as well, it seems.
So from what I gather, nothing happens when you press the yes button to go into download mode after you see that message?

That is normal, no need to worry about it. I got the same warning once I performed the 11MB update on my UEKG4 build. I have a feeling that warning was "borrowed" from vanilla 3.2, anyone with a Xoom tablet on 3.2 please let us know. Did you had an unlocked bootloader on your tablet (lockpad)?

Because if you did, the update locked your bootloader unfortunately. Still, there is no biggie on that also... Personally, I don't care if it locks the bootloader, as long I can flash the tablet with CWM. That means I can flash a custom ROM, kernel and also root. It makes no difference to have a locked or unlocked bootloader, unless you want to flash something that needs a different bootloader (i.e. Tabuntu).
As known by most of you, removing any "bloatware" by means of deletion, such as Bell bloatware, will make it so that you are not capable of updating to gingerbread.
I did not know this prior to deleting my .odex files and rooting, sadly.
I had a simple question, what am I to do in this kind of situation? I've read here to flash a stock SBF and update it from there, however, I'm a bit weary of flashing my device for risk of bricking it. (Bought off Craigslist...rooted = no warranty)\
Any ideas xdaders?
Oh and I just finished a factory reset.
are you on 2.3.x or 2.2?
2.2, froyo.
Motoblur.
(2.3 backwards sbf flashing would = a brick )
Flash a fruitcake?
You should just flash the newest sbf. And flash a new rom such as cm7 that would perform even better. After unlocking the bootloader just flash cwm and if you really wanted you could flash a stock carrier rom.

Nevermind, I get it.
Thank you freshlycutlawn, I'll look into flashing the newest sbf. This is relatively safe if all the procedures are followed, correct?
Yes, since you are on froyo pretty much all of the unlock sbf's will be newer and wont brick your phone, you only have to watch out for an older version. Other than that you should be good to go, let me know if you have any other questions especially since im on bell too. It was a bit more tricky to find all of the correct downloads and follow the right steps, but now i have done it and im sure the same way i did it would work for you. Best of luck.

That would be appreciated. I have been trying to find Bell files and other related information using the search function, but if you've already done that and are offering to help, might as well.
If you can private message me it, that'd be greatly appreciated.
Ok so this may have been posted before but I've been searching and can't find anything.
So I got my note 2 when they released and I did the first "root" method available which I think was odin. Not really root with a custom recovery however I don't think. See the following screenshot to see what I'm currently running. Its been fine until now so I never re flashed anything or install twrp or anything.

Lately its been running slow so I want to fully root and install something along the lines of the latest Clean Rom. I had cleanrom on my Rezound and I love his roms.
Only reason I'm making this thread is because I'm not sure where to start because I don't think I'm stock yet I'm not "really" rooted.
Dont want to mess up my device.
Thanks!!

Sounds like you are rooted, but your bootloader is still locked. In order to flash ROMs on Verizon you will need to unlock the bootloader (unless you did that via Odin the first time around). From those screenshots you won't be able to tell if you have unlocked the bootloader...as far as I know the only want to check is to boot into recovery. If you see TWRP or CWM you are set...if you get the stock recovery you need to follow Adam Outler's original unlock method as you are on baseband VRALJB. To access recovery power off the device and then press volume up + power button + home button simultaneously. Whatever boots up will tell you what you need to know.
stary by reading the stickies.
Yea I believe I'm still on the stock recovery.
Hello there, I won't lie, I ask for help, you answer me.
I don't understand enought your method, because it's not well described.
But.. Therefore...
I'm able to root my device.
I'm able to backup my ta partition or my drm keys.
I'm able to unlock my bootloader.
I'm able to restore my bootloader to lock it back.
i'm able to unbrick my phone when it couldn't boot via flashtool.

But I'm unable to install a custom recovery and or even launch the stock on it there was one.
I tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647492 (normal boot and no pink led).
I tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799388 via flashtool and my phone couldn't boot, even to the SONY logo, but it were vibrating when pushing on the power button.
Anyway, I flashed via flashtool the 14.4.A.0.108 back, now I'm still rooted and the bootloader is still unlocked.

What can I do to install a custom recovery via the 14.4.A.0.108 ?
Or this operation is impossible and I have to downgrade ?
(I read about downgrade and I'm affraid to lose my IMEI)

I'm pretty sure the problem here is that there is a stock firmware development aka the custom ROMs can't just start "taking over from where the devs left off" like it happened with Samsung Devices that get stuck at v4.1.2 unless someone else does something about it.
I guess most things here just are not stable. I hope the stock works out for you. Did you get the rooting done? I found a video tutorial for that here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...de-root-android-4-4-4-ver-14-4-0-108-t2801587

Hello, of course I have done rooting, now I'm back in full stock, nk rooting, just pure sony beauty. And everything works better without root, or it doesn't matter, but the navigation and the use of the device is much smoother without lags
