i know its prob a noob question but i update the sbf to the 198 7 and than i lose root like it says and i re root it but i also lose my unlock bootloader so when i go and re unlock it with the derpunlock sbf file it takes me back to 154 system....is there a way to get my 198 7 and not lose my unlock or just a way to re unlock and not go back to 154????
Flash the 1mb bootloader unlock only, instead of full pudding.

Has any one made a safe way to flash back to 2.2 without bricking the phone ? I don't like 2.3 at all and would like to flash back till it comes out officaly and the bugs are gone.
Yes. I unlocked my AT&T Atrix to flash 2.3.4. I had no issues flashing 2.3.4 but didn't really like the ROM. I installed the (full) 1.83 SBF using RSD lite and had no issues with the downgrade.
Be sure you use the full SBF, if you use a service release you will run into issues.
I flashed the 4.1.83 SBF, but the "Unlocked" disappeared from the boot screen. I suppose that's good if you need to send your phone back for warranty service, hehe. However, I like to see that my phone is unlocked every time I reboot it so I just flashed the unlock SBF again to get it back. You just have to flash it, not go through the unlock ID and all that.

It's not as good as you think. The phone is still unlocked, the indicator just disappears. If you try to re-flash the unlock SBF, it won't write and you'll get a message that the phone is already unlocked.
Once unlocked, I'm pretty sure that it stays that way (unless Motorola re-locks it).

Hi, I was wondering, I have Kenn's 4.5.91 4.5 Beta, I wanted to flash back to stock. Would I use RSD to flash 1.26 then 1.56, 1.86, then finally 1.91? I also wanted to know how to get rid of that "unlocked" lettering when the phone was booting up for warrenty.
Thanks
I rsd back to 1.2.6 it took the unlock words away but not sure if the bl was still unlocked, but I rooted then updated to 1.5.7 and it kept root and ran the unlock again and the words unlocked came back...hope that gives u any kind of help
Cool, Ya, I think the bootloader is still locked doesn't matter if it still is, just wanted the words to be gone. Thanks
Let me know how that works for you
Hello Atrix users! I recently just received this phone about a week ago and have rooted, unlocked the bootloader and also flashed the cwm. Now, whenever I try to update via OTA or sd card I get an error stating that the update has failed. I'm very new to Android phones and I was wondering what the procedure for updating would be? BTW I'm on 1.8.3
Thanks a lot
first of all i dont think your suppose to rsd or ota after you have unlocked the BL you have to flash GB through moto-fastboot or fastboot when u have GB on your external SD and run the commands through a command window, GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND and so is XDA just a do a search and you should find wat your looking for,
wat i have done is i was already on 1.8.3 and unlocked the BL, but i forgot to root the phone, and i couldnt root idk why, so i had to use the aroot method(do quick search on it) which had me rsd back to 1.2.6 then reboot, after that the words UNLOCKED where gone, so i think rsd back to 1.2.6 either took the unlock away or just got rid of the words and BL was still unlocked idk, but any way did a wi-fi ota update to 1.5.7 than ran afterupdate.bat and it retained the root, then just ran the unlock again with rsd rebooted and the words unlocked were back, but im not on 1.8.3, idk if i should try to ota to it, or rsd back to the beginning which is 1.2.6 and just ota all the way to the offical newest update of gingerbread then unlock the bl again and do the preinstall root method, thats where im stuck at,
That seems like a ton of work just for the OTA. I unlocked my boot loader and flash the cherry blur rom (v.1.4) this was the easiest way I have found to get 2.3.3 on my phone and without blur over taking the interface.

from wat i have read you should be good with wat ever u do with rsd or flashing back to a stock rom AS LONG AS YOU HAVENT UPDATED TO THE NEWEST OTA UPDATE SENT TO YOU OTA BUT IF YOU HAVE ACCEPTED THE OTA UPDATE YOU WILL HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE IF U TRY FLASHING BACK TO A STOCK LIKE 1.2.6 i think that is how it goes from wat i have read
So I have my phone unlocked and rooted. If I have to return my phone for whatever reason, how do I get "Unlocked" to remove from the boot screen? Is that even possible? Currently running 4.5.91
When you SBF back to 1.2.6 or 157 or 183 it will remove it but if you used
the OTA then DONT FLASH A SBF!
Read Around there is a bunch of stuff on the dev fourms on how to go back
the proper way please I stress read read and read again before you do anything.
Ya I definitely know not to sbf to an older since I did the OTA update. Can I safely sbf to the official 4.5.91 release?

Read through both threads. Still unsure if it's safe to flash either SBF and if it's going to remove "Unlock" during the boot. Right now I'm on the OTA update (so can't downgrade) and unlocked.

the first SBF (the 4.5.91 with pudding baked in) definitely won't take out Unlock since it's with unlock in there already.
Stock SBF can potentially take out "Unlock", but I don't think anyone's determined whether it is safe to flash stock 4.5.91 sbf once you're OTA'd. I'm not planning to try : )

Thanks for the input. Well, so far I've read that I can't downgrade. Not sure if flashing the stock 4.5.91 sbf is considered a downgrade. I'm thinking not. Maybe I'll try and see what happens.
Hey Everyone,
It seems that since the bootloader got unlocked, things with the atrix has skyrocketed and there is many things I'm unfamiliar with. I was unfamiliar back then too but managed to get a pseudo rom running.
Anyways, I need help going from a Greyblurred atrix to an updated Atrix with gingerbread , unlocked bootloader , and rooted.
It would be great if anyone could point me in the right direction.\
Thanks ahead of time!
Well I am assuming you are not unlocked, correct? also I will assume you have not done the OTA (Over The Air) update of gingerbread (2.3.5)..
First off, if none of the above has been done at all you need to go here, IHOP and read these directions over, and over, and over before you start to follow them and execute what they say..
after you do that, or if you need further clarification just write back here
I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 its an auto scripter u will soft brick fix is built in READ EVERYTHING first.

This.
Ahhh, school got super busy and still never got the chance to do this.
So it seems I can use RSDlite to just flash to an older sbf and go through the updates to the now 2.3.4 and then unlock from there and get CM7?
I don't need to back up any apps or anything so can I go straight to flashing SBF right over Greyblur?

as long as you've never done the OTA before, you can flash a froyo SBF and go back to stock that way.
there's also an unlocked bootloader for froyo in the pudding thread, you don't have to update to 2.3.4 to unlock and get CM7 (which is gingerbread anyways)
just go to the International House of Pudding thread in the dev section and read up on the right .sbf to flash to unlock your bootloader.

That's correct, I think I'm still on 1.8.3? Though because I'm running GreyBlur the phone thinks im on 1.5.3 or which ever was before 1.8.3
