[GUIDE] How to update your webtop - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just thought I would put it out there for new people like me who are not too familiar with the procedure to flash a new webtop version on our phones. I do not believe the procedure is outlined in an easy to find thread yet.
Things you will need
-Unlocked Atrix 4G ? (mine is unlocked)
-Moto-fastboot http://diamantephoto.com/fastboot.rar
-Latest Webtop IMG file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009
-Brain
First you need to extract fastboot and your webtop img file in the same directory. Make it something easy and short since you will have to access it in a command window. (c:\atrix)
Second you need to boot your phone in fastboot mode. Hook your phone via usb cable, hold the volume down buttom while powering up. When fastboot show up on your screen press volume up and it will put the phone in fastboot mode.
Third you need to open a command window and go to you fastboot directory. If in C:\Atrix you type "c:" then press enter then type "cd atrix" then press enter.
Lastly type these commands in order
"moto-fastboot devices" (just to make sure we have a connection before we get to business)
"moto-fastboot erase webtop" (this will erase your current webtop partition to make room for the new one)
"moto-fastboot flash webtop webtop.img" (this will flash the new webtop to your now empty webtop partition it will take about 2 minutes)
"moto-fastboot reboot" (voila your done, let your phone reboot into your rom and you can enjoy your newer webtop!)
All of this should look something like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here is a link to a guide to further customize your webtop if you want to. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397583
Thanks to dicksteel for pointing me in the right direction for the actual procedure!

There's something easier than this, Fruit Cake. Flash it from CWM and your done. Plus I think someone made an automated cmd script that installed the 2.3.6 Webtop. Thanks for the effort though, search button could be used...

I searched myself for a method myself for about two days, if you can provide the link to such a thread I'll gladly add it here. I found many how-to's for customizing the webtop (such as webtopmod or webtop2sd) but I couldn't find an how-to just to update your webtop version itself.

I thought that I made one, but I guess it was just a ROM upgrade without the webtop.
But. This: Fruit Cakes All you pretty much do is flash the Webtop zip in CWM and your done. It's just a easier and quicker way of what your doing here.

Yeah, I don't understand why he points you to the fruitcake image, but then has you extract it from the zip file. CWM includes a command to flash webtop images directly, rather than going through what is described.
Also, when I first read it, I though it mean actually updating my current webtop image, not flashing a new one. That would be a feat so I don't have to apply my changes when a new webtop arrives (already on 2.3.6, so right now that's not an issue for me).

if for whatever reason you cant flash the zip file like me, im on gingermod 2.3.6 but when i try to flash the cwm webtop file it doesnt let me. says i failed the authentication that sam built into his cwm file. anyways i dont think cwm is easier than fastboot, they are both very easy. btw make sure you use moto-fastboot from this thread i think the fastboot that OP linked to is just the normal fastboot and cannot be used to flash large file like webtop.

Try searching this site....wft ..also he points you to a fruit cake file for cwm and then tells you to use moto-fastboot...Please can the moderaters delete this kind of thread.
