I'm a Canadian Bell user.
I've been using Android 2.2, rooted, with a little OEM bloat removed (ashphalt demo etc.). The phone decided to update to the OTA 2.3, and bricked. I flashed to OLYEM_U4_2.1.1_SIGNED_UCAOLYPORTFR_P014_A004_M001_HWolympus_1g_1FF.sbf A Bell firmware it seems, though not quite the same as the original.
Which seems to work (I have no internet, but it seems I can call/text, it'll do for I came across http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195922&page=14
I then attempted to use Bell GB 2.3.4, so I rooted, installed ROM MANAGER, unlocked the bootloader, flashed tenfar's CWM, pulled the SIM, but kept the MicroSD in (the ROM is on the MicroSD) and then attempted to flash the 2.3.4 Bell GB leak.
First time,

Updating BP...
Updating System...
assert failed: package_extract_file("system.img". "/internal/app.bin")
E:Errpr in sdcard/Bell-2.3.4.zip
(Status 7)
Instalation aborted.
So, I reflashed , rooted. etc. and tried again, and it froze this time at Updating BP...
Third times the charm right? aborted at the same stage as the first time.
Can someone please just call me a idiot and tell me I'm missing something silly? I read that someone else had the same error, but it worked the second try for them.
ok so first the 2.1.1 rom is the retail france rom not bell (thus why you didn't have any internet as your apns wouldn't be loaded)
I would try putting the file on the internal memory and flashing it again
I assume the cwm you have is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541

I can't remember how I found it to be honest, but thank you very much for informing me. Yes, that is the CWM I have.
I will try again right away.
OP, I am slightly puzzled. You were running the stock Bell 2.2 and it decided to update to 2.3 ?? The official Bell update is out ?

You don't flash it with recovery you flash it with RSD Lite. It's a .sbf file not a zip file There's a billion threads on this already

Not quite sure about that, though I do know Bell wanted me to update my phone when I already had 2.2, and I must've accepted at some point, bricking my phone.
Now I'm racking my head over this, I've meticulously gone through the procedure, and I don't know what's wrong.
Flash the French 2.2 SBF
Root
Unlock bootloader
Install CWM (tried Tenfar's and another by romracer)
Install 2.3.4.zip (from both external and internal memory)
Still get the same error message at the end.

I flashed the SBF with RSDlite, and izip from CWM.
could have been the 2.2.2 update.
have you tried to re-download the file? wondering the if the system.img file got damaged some how.
you shouldn't need to flash the french rom again (outside of just to have a device that boots)
EDIT
clear your data as well
This is what i did and not a single problem

i got this problem fixed by placing in ext sdcard instead of internal memory.
Thank you very much Spuzzum. That was exactly what I needed. Though I must say, going from the stock Bell rom to a modified Alien rom is quite the change. Motorola was nice enough to save my contacts and google my calender events.

Edit:
I can't actually seem to differ from what I did and what the instructional video showed, other than loading a different ROM.
I still can't seem to access 2G from my phone though. Not like I need it when I'm in the city, but I'd prefer to use it when I'm out of the city and have to go several days without a charge.
Same problem
hi Guys.. I am having the same problem. I flashed the french SBF now multiple times, rooted, installed Tenfar's recovery and then tried to recover using either the bell 2.2.2 or bell 2.3.4 and both give me error while using recovery. The errror is assert failed , installation aborted. I also had my bootloader unlocked but that didnt help either. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Bell atrix issues
hey, so when i try to update my phone throws an error saying i dont have "qik.apk" in my system folder. i had this issue before with the random bloat demos the atrix comes packed with, i was able to add the demos to the system folder using su in the terminal and putting the .apk files that i found on the internet into the folder. but for some reason i do not have super user rights anymore (even though the super user app is still installed)
is there any way to fix this so i can update my phone?
Hello,
I've been searching the forums for this but basically I did Gingerbreak/Gingerblur 4.5 from the now zombified post. I have since over looked the update 4.5.91 because I don't want to hard brick the phone, but now it looks as though I'm stuck on Gingerblur.
1) I CANNOT restore to factory settings via the phone (Get stuck in Failed to Boot 2 Starting RSD Mode lock out) no matter what I do.
2) After going into RSD protocol support, It will not recognize my phone at all on RSDLite v5.0 (so can't flash SBF files)
3) If I select Android Recovery it will result in "Failed to Boot 2"
I've been looking at the threads for the latest stuff, but none of them seem to address my issue. Any thoughts on how the heck I get this thing fixed? I'd like ideally to get Android 2.3.4 and the latest and greatest, but don't want to brick the phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated
BTW it works just fine in Gingerblur, but I'd like not to be stuck with that forever...
You are not unlocked. Feel free to flash an sbf as hard brick has to do with unlock and bootloader stuff.
My thoughts would be to just unlock your bootloader. Start with the pudding thread
sent from my Atrix via XDA premium
Well, perhaps I should have gone back to stock image first before doing Pudding.
Soft bricked my phone now. Stuck in Failed to Boot 2 - Starting RSD Mode
I will download the 1.26 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072
and try to do a restore...I hope I haven't screwed my phone up...
I did the same and flashed it back to stock i used rsdlite 5.5 and used my country specific SBF.
It is back to stock but webtop Isnt working
Actually sorry. To clarify, I'm using this thread instead for the SBF.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944
Will see if web top is a concern IF the stock file flashes properly...
Being on anything won't effect an sbf flash. Go ahead and rsd to gingerbread. Or pudding
sent from my Atrix via XDA premium
I got it back to 1.26
One thing people don't mention is if you have an older version of RSD Lite it will NOT recognize the phone with the latest drivers...(and there are a wealth of older RSDLites floating around so to a newer person it's not quite evident which is latest)
It's now on 1.26. I will try the bootloader unlock, pudding, etc later when I feel more comfortable...
Needing some help understanding the Atrix,
I have flashed, wiped, unlocked, recovered, bricked a milliontimes flashed loads of roms all sucsessfully unlocking bootloader flashing recoveries with a range of methods. Ive come full circle an realised there is NO custom rom better than stock froyo i continually resort to reflashing with this SBF
OLYEM_U4_2.1.1_SIGNED_UCAOLYPORTFR_P014_A004_M001_HWolympus_1g_1FF.sbf
However i am informed that the official stock sbf is this, (with orange branding)
OLYEM_U4_1.3.1_SIGNED_USAOLYPORAGB_P025_A011_M001_HWolympus_1g_1FF_4.sbf
however when plugging my fresh untouched unrooted phone into my HD dock, webtop does not show up?! i have looked in system/app and can see that the webtop.apk files are not present.
Does this mean that the SBF im usign has been played with? why is it not installing webtop?
I would like to flash my phone to stock, with webtop, then root. and i would be very happy.
if any of you guys have any info id much appreciate.
thanks
No matter I believe I've discovered a gingerbread rom that works nice with no battery drain. PUREBLUR! Found here

Hi
So I bought this Atrix from eBay for my bro and it came with CM7.1 Olympus with Unlocked BL, cause it said UNLOCKED while turning it on, he didnt like it o found no use for it, since he doesnt mess a lot with all the features.
So I flashed the latest 2.3.4 Firmware 4.5.91 SBF ATT via RSD, it booted after done, then after a few hours it turned off by itself while in stand by i guess and gave me an error I include in the attachments. I flashed it again just in case (it happened to me once with a SE X10a and reflash worked like a charm).
Now it turns out everything worked, but still from time to time it turns off by itself. I searched online and that seems to be a problem with GB 4.5.91. I made a Recovery img then I went back to CM7, the same it had and still the same turning off by itself.
The point is the phone came with all the CM7 files and etc in the MicroSD which I didnt noticed before, BESIDES THERES a RECOVERY File in there.
I want to make the Restore with the file but WHAT if that recovery file is from an earlier Android Version and now that I flash the 4.5.91 and it has a Unlocked BootLoader, it BRICKS the phone.
The question is, Is there any way in which I can Identify what Android Version that recovery file has so I dont brick this Atrix????
I'm attaching some pics I took of the About phone area BEFORE I flash the OEM 2.3.4 ATT 4.5.91
P.D. I did search on the internet and here before posting.
I also contacted the original owner and he has no idea of what version it had before. "Whatever stock was he says"
Thanks!!!!!
Hello,
I have a problem with my phone. I wanted to have a second boot, but something went wrong. I'm just see the fastboot failure.
I was looking for the right SBF file to flash it on my device, but I cant find the right one.
There is some link to find more about the phone, but it doesnt work for me
servicemyphone.motorola.com/iden/support/showUnitSearch.do?singleUnitSearch=true
It switches me to a standard support page.
I tryed many times to flash some sbf for EU, but without success. I fix the phone with 673.94.328.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03
This was the only sbf, that I could flash to the phone, but it isn't the original. Data isn't working, different apps....
Could you help me to find the original one?
There is info from my box.

This one definitely suits you! Flash it as a fastfoot file. Instructions are in this thread. I flashed my MAXX yesterday. Mine is a NORDIC version instead of a DACH (Deutschland/Austria/Switzerland) but this doesn't make any difference whatsoever.

Thanks for you help. My MAXX ist working and data too.:laugh:
