I have an 2.3.4 AT&T device that I have installed romracer CWM, rooted, and unlocked. But I would like to use a UK retail rom/fruitcake on it.
I'm not sure which download I should be using, help me please
pick whatever fruitcake you want, then also download a custom kernal, such as faux123 stock enhanced.
Install the fruitcake then the kernal

I am still on the older HKTW 2.3.4 and now that the newer ATT leaked 2.3.4 is out there i would like to know the best way to flash it? And by best i mean safest . I know there have been a lot of bricked atrix's, so any help is greatly appreciated!
Additional info:
I have installed Clockwork recovery
I have rooted it
Thanks
The best way is to use Ken's cwm zip. The danger is in updating using the orange pulled from moto servers and then trying to sbf back to an earlier build.
Ken's rom and Dorian's red pill rom are both fantastic.
Edit: This assumes you have the unlocked CWM, which I would guess is the case since you are on HKTW.

so can i just flash dorians redpill over my hktw 2.3.4, because he says you can do it if you are already on 2.3.4 but i am not sure if it will only work if you are on Kenns 2.3.4. WOuld the safest method be to flash back to 1.8.3, then unlock the bootloader and flash back to kenns 2.3.4 then to dorians redpill?
Hi i am currently on Alien ROM with french ram fixed kernal. I want to go back to stock froyo. Is there any working method available, and my bootloader is unlocked.
Well, you didn't tell me what carrier you're on.
I'll assume you're on ATT and forward you here.
Cheers.

Yes, you can flash the file located here.
Flash the zip through CWM. Make sure it is flashed through Romracer's cwm or tenfar's cwm. Do not flash it with rommanager cwm.
Also, flash the correct kernel that corresponds to your tegrapart. It is also found in that thread.

Thanks man.
Just needed help to make sure I won't hard-brick my phone
Phone currently runs:
Android Version: 2.2.1
Baseband: N_01.77.06P
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: OLYLA_U4_0.37.4
I've checked other forum threads but I'm still pretty wary on unlocking and flashing my phone.
To my knowledge I need to:
1. CWM Tenfar Recovery and Titanium Backup to backup personal apps/data and system data
2. Flash IHOP SBF through RDS
3. Second Backup
4. Flash Custom Rom (probably beta-CM7 or an international rom)
Does that sound right?
Thanks!
looks good to me (did mine yesterday) but get a second opinion just in case

The recovery has to go after the unlock but looks good either than that

So unlock then install cwn right? ... oh and before I install the rom I have to do the data wipe and reset right?

Fairly straight forward and simple.....no problem
one question... say i would install cm7 as the rom, or any international rom... which kernel would i flash first?
(Edit) @spuzzum ... I'll probably try that first, thanks!!
i believe faux123's Unified CM7 Kernel is good for ATT and International.(The one listed under CyanogenMod 7 in faux123's thread) I think you just have to pick if you want the 1Ghz or the 1.3Ghz one. (1.3 can be overclocked)
If you are just getting one for GB then you have to ck to see which international one you need the d00 or the 1100 (Listed under Gingerbread)
There is a way of finding out which one you need but i can remember it off the top of my head right now.
I am using Alien with the faux's gingerbread d00 kernel and lovin it. I think i'll wait for the CM7 to get some more stuff ironed out before i try it .
Is bootstrap recovery the same as clockwork recovery? Are they one and the same?
Also I'm on kernal 2.3.4 do I have to do anything special if I want to load a 2.3.5 rom?
Sorry I'm new to playing around with motorola phones.
I thought they were the same when I first started hacking my phone. But it turns out they are not the same.
As for updating your phone to 2.3.5, if you are on stock 2.3.4, all you need to do is root your phone, install bootstrap recovery and flash the 2.3.5 ROM using bootstrap recovery.
There is a nice guide someone put together in the dev. Section.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Basically, yes - those recoveries a almost the same. They are both used in the same way, which is to backup/restore, wipe data and flash a ROM. So there's no real difference.
As for the 2.3.4 kernel. SOME people can get away with flashing a 2.3.5 based ROM on their 2.3.4, others can't. Either way, I'd recommend just updating to 2.3.5 to safe. Plus (to me), 2.3.5 seems smoother and faster.
To Update to 2.3.5, just download the update.zip from here: http://www.multiupload.com/0ZT7FTOW0R
This is just the update file, so all you need to do is flash that, but I won't get into much about that.
If you need a guide on updating it, then you can look at this one right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391824
That's the one I used.
Ok so I'm currently on Molten 2.2 wich is a 2.3.4 romand was looking at liberty rom wich is 2.3.5 rom. So all I would need to do is just clear the needed data and flash it like any other rom?
The reason for asking about if it was clockwork was because in one of the roms the instructions says to use clockwork and I never saw a like to clockwork in the dev section
Yes I looked in the stickies first and these were just the questions that popped up that I didn't see the answer to it. I may have just over looked it but I figured I would ask before I borked my phone lol
looks like while I was writing a responce some one answered lol thank you all for your help
U don't need to root to install 2.3.5
It is signed by moto so we can flash in stock recovery
(actually that's how you SHOULD FLASH 2.3.5)
And our BSR is a hacked/ported cwm
To update to 2.3.5 you WILL need to be STOCK (you CAN be rooted but it will take away root when u flash it....just root again with zergrush...)

Just so you know, Liberty is a 2.3.4 rom. Have a look at the OP in that thread. If you're on Molten, just wipe data and cache and you should be set.
So many threads that I cannot find it. I am currently unlocked on nottachtrix 1.2.9b but it keeps restarting my phone randomly so I want to flash a completely stock ROM, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks guys!
searching dev forum returned this list of firmwares http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944. Find your country/carrier and go for it.
As an alternative, I have used Aura (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186990) and was better than stock for me and includes webtop.
If you feel adventurous again, try miui-us V4 2.3.16 also in the dev forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383721).
Hope I was able to help
Check the Fruitcake thread, stock roms are there.

You said your atrix is unlocked (or are you on Atrix2 since you mention Supercharged A2?), then root, install romracer's cwm for atrix and use cwm to reset, clear data and cache, then flash a rom of your choice.
All available in the dev section.

I don't have any issues with 1.29b. Maybe flash romracers recovery, do a complete wipe, and flash 1.29b directly.

Downgrading the version risk bricking. I soft bricked mine when I went from 2.3.6(prior to a few ROMs) to 2.3.4.
I would:
Fastboot -w
RSD Lite flash 2.3.6 from //sites.google.com/site/motosbf/atrix-sbf-files (Sorry, I don't have enough posts to be allow to make links)
I found this on one of the topics here:

copy after // because I can't post links.
I'm yet to try it on my Atrix but will do very soon

i have statusbar issues with that one...
I fixed the restarts by flashing the 2.3.6 sbf (not pudding), and I left it like that... no more unlock since I believe that was the issue. Every ROM I tried had the same results

Yes. You can download the 2.3.6 fruitcake from fruitcake backup thread and flash via CWM. Then the 2.3.6 webtop and flash via CWM. Remember to perform a full wipe first.
