Use "Fruit Cake" only. Downgrade to 2.2 from 2.3.4 using RSD could hard brick your phone. There's a sticky in the development section. Read that.

I think i might have been one of the dumb ones to do the .zip flash of the BETA #3 gingerbread update. I searched and noticed the only way to go back to 2.2 was to unlock 1st. the question is when the official moto 2.3.4 comes out will i be able to update to that version without any issues via OTA?
I know some maybe running soak versions which may prevent them from reverting back to 2.2 as well. So do you guys think moto or the devs will figure a way for those that didn't root/unlocked before doing the update.zip to start recieving OTAs?
If ur on kens beta going back to stock will work and stock is the way you'll get the ota until it comes out as an sbf to flash

I'm not on kens. i did the update i believe before kens was available. is there a way to go through kens route since i'm already on the stock 2.3.4?
If you flashed the stock OTA that was leaked, you risk bricking when flashing back.
Moto's OTA is designed to prevent backwards flashing.
I believe they found a way through pudding look on kens roms thread and there should be a link on how ti do so if nit there go to the calling all hardbricks post and do the steps there to prevent bricking

what if i just want to get the offcial ota when it is released. would i still be in luck or still need to unlock and root?
I have a rooted Atrix on Official at&t 2.3.4 OTA.
bootloader locked
webtop unavailable.
I read you can flash gingerbread on top of this OTA? is this true?
can I use rsd to flash back to a clean copy of gingerbread or will I hard brick?
please point me to the correct thread....
Me too
I want to know too.. Except mine is unlocked and rooted on Stock GB
Can I "Clean Format" GB
If you're on 2.3.4 OTA then you're on gingerbread. What are you wanting to do?

SO if I flash the leaked 2.3.4 on top of my OTA 2.3.4 with RSD it wont brick? I'm guessing itll just reinstall?
Edit: All I want to know is if I can flash the leaked version on top of the OTA withou bricking so this way I can unlock the BL and get some ROMS....I just dont want to end up using RSD to flash 2.3.4 and end up with a paper weight
Me and my brother both have atrix's. I want to go back to stock because I heard its the best for my webtop, he has the original stock file. If i am on wetdream, and I go back to stock, is there a chance of bricking it?
Thanks.
You are best to use the fruitcake of the stock version you want and flash from recovery like you did with your current rom..there is a thread of all stock rooms here in dev forum. I'll find and link in a min. These are as safe as it gets.
Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009
Wetdream can run webtop as it is a stock based rom.

Yeah, grab the webtop from here > Fruitcake thread.
Thanks, I have it, but its way too buggy =\
If I flash it with my brothers stock, could I OTA update? He said he has before.
If its stock froyo based "stock file" assuming you mean an SBF, then you run the risk of hard bricking. If its a fruitcake. "Stock file" then you are fine. Never flash froyo SBFs anymore. They can be dangerous.

So I've read the instructions 10 times over for how to get from my current state to installing CM7.
Two questions:
Do I have to install a 2.3.4 SBF then unlock/root then install the rom? Or can I unlock my 1.8.3 and proceed to install CM7?
Second, in the IHOP thread, it seems I should be flashing the 2.3.4 SBF with pudding/root already included. But those links are down. Where can I download the needed SBF to flash?
Thanks!
Just flash the unlock SBF. you dont need to update.

Does it matter if I'm currently on greyblur and my phone thinks it's on the one before 1.8.3?

Wrong section!

if the bootloader is unlocked you can fastboot flash the 2.2 imgs that you first need to extract from a sbf file
There are currently no known froyo fruit cakes. Your only option is to flash an sbf. Unfortunately, it may be difficult difficult to find a froyo Asian sbf. You can try looking here.
And yes, wrong forum. Should be in Q&A.
