Hello all, I'm selling my atrix pretty soon and I need to return it back to stock settings.
What i want to do is i wanna find the STOCK 2.3.4 spf and flash it on the phone
Where can i find a reliable one? I've searched everywhere but i dont know which ones are safe and which arent
And finally, before i flash the spf, should I reflash the stock rom? Which one do you recomend me to install?
THANKS TONS!!

So last night I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 and I’ve got a few questions regarding various things that I havn’t been able to find through searching around on the forums. If the answers are around the forums and I have missed them I apologize and hopefully you can direct me there.
1. Since I used chainfires rooting method. I’ve used Nitrality’s app to ‘backup’ my /efs and something else it backup up. Here I’m wondering if I use a custom rom such as “Lite'ning Rom v6.1 XXKH3” will the things I backed up with Nitrality app restore my original ROM and Kernel incase something hardware wise fails and I need to send it back in to claim on my warranty.
2. The second question im asking is regarding various Custom roms, if I choose to flash ;Lite’ning rom, will I be able to since it states it’s;
based on I9100XXKH3 firmware
baseband I9100XXKH3
The baseband I’m using is XWKE7, will I be able to use this rom?
3. since the version of android I have is 2.3.3 and majority of the Roms need 2.3.4 will it work correctly? If not and I have to legitly update to 2.3.4 will it successfully update since i've rooted my phone?
Hopefully you guys can help answer my questions. Thanks.
bump because I really need help :[
- Litening ROM is based on KH3 ROM, that doesn't mean you need to have a Stock KH3 ROM. So yes, you can install it.
- As I said it doesn't matter what ROM you currently have to flash a 2.3.4 ROM.
- Don't know about the Back up issue, sorry.

Hi,
Can anybody tell me if i root my s2 (currently on KF3 firmware) with cf method and flash stock kernel,will i be able to install new ROMS like litening etc,how ?, and will i be able to come back to my stock firmware and kernel,and how ?
thanks in advance !
You can flash any Custom firmware anytime, without root. And you can go back to Stock firmware and kernel anytime.
Regards.
so if i root(by a method you earlier told me),can i also use any rom on that ?if yes then how and also can you please tell me how to come back to stock rom(before flashing with custom rom) state ?
You just need to add the .tar file of the Custom firmware in PDA section of Odin and flash, same for Stock ROM.
Regards.
you can root your phone as ihappy said but use the threads on the forums to find the stock kernels and roms that suit you. and i mean by what region you at. most of the custom roms come with root anyway so i would not worry about rooting. the thing is though whenever you do flash always make backup. first time i flashed i did not do backup and i was panicking on how to go back to stock.but thankfully the guys in this community are the best around and helped me out. hope my post helped in anyway
sorry for posting thiss but i cannot find an answer anywhere guys. Okay this might be a dumb question but my fascinate came stock with 2.1, and i have updated to 2.2 and then now running 2.3 do i have to flash it all the way back to 2.1 for roms? or is there a way i can root with my un-stock 2.3?
You don't need to root to flash roms.
The only reason you would root at this point, is ONLY if you where going to stay with the stock ROM and wanted to remove software that came pre-installed.
Flash whatever ROM you want, you can flash no matter what version you are on, 2.1, 2.2, or 2.3. Just make sure you do your homework, and learn about what you are flashing first, and if there are any other necessary steps to flash.
ooohh okay so if i root thats only if im going to 2.1 and going to stay there?
thnx alot answered a question that no one else has for me
All custom roms will come pre-rooted. So all you need to do is flash the appropriate recovery, and flash a rom. Your phone will be rooted.

Lol i see im late on that reply...
Hey people, I just bought a new Atrix a week ago. It came with "4.4.20.MB860.O2.en.DE" (fw 2.2.2)rom. I found on the internet that it should be possible to update to 2.3.4. But when I try to do the OTA update it says that my system is up to date. So, Is it possible to update my phone to 2.3.4? How? I found a rom called "1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-31-release-keys-signed-rtdach.sbf" but Im aware of flashing it with RSD, is there some other way to do that?
PS: I have not roted or unlocked bootloader my Atrix yet..
Thanks everyone!

If you want to upgrade i would recommend to unlock the bootloader and flash some GB based rom like Nottachtrix 1.3.1, those ones are the stock rom but enhaced I'm running right now Nottachtrix because i want everything working.
Otherwise you can get Neutrino, it's an excellent rom too.
About the sbf with RSD, you need to flash the correct sbf otherwise you will get the "failed to boot", so if you are not sure if it is for your phone, don't do it, take the safe way.
Im not sure pretty much about anything since all tutorials, files, etc.. are made for 2.3.4.. I found this post about rooting the Atrix. Should it work? And another stupid questions. Custom ROMs are installed using CWM recovery right? And is it possible to make a backup of my actual rom for applying waranty in the future? And about that sbf im pretty sure that it should work, but I want to hear that from someone that already did that. I just do not want to brick my phone after week of using..
Thanks! M.
