My buddy wants me to root and flash cm7 to his dx2. He has flashed his phone to a different carrier. (Verizon>>uscellular.) If I do the aforementioned will it screw w his data and or radio? He is on 2.3.4. So no need to sbf .. but if I do need to sbf will that take the carrier flashing away?

How can I flash back to factory rom and how? Is there a place I can download the factory Rom? If not can someone help me out here? I sure would appreciate any help from anyone thanks!
If you are on ATT 1.83 software then this CWM installer, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042736, will take you back to deodexed stock files and remove any currently applied theme.
But if you are looking for completely stock, odexed files, you would be better off flashing an SBF. It depends on what you plan to do with the phone after putting the stock files back on really.

This is what you need. Will show you how to flash to 4.1.26, 4.1.57. or 4.1.83.
Depending on your version of stock, you will pick one to stop at. Personally, my phone was on 4.1.26 when I bought it, so that is stock to me.

Thanks alot both of you!
What I needed was what you posted CaelanT, I got my phone back to norm. Thanks for the help. ^^
i got my Atrix yesterday and immediately ota updated to 2.3.4, unlocked, fastboot "flashed?" my recovery with cwm, and installed alien. i winged it. thank god i'm not bricked. i had to use fastboot to flash my recovery twice, but since then i've been trying to get UOT to cook something that actually works and cwm seems stable now.
the question is, if i flash a rom based on 1.8.3 will that brick my device? or does the brick only happen if you go back to an unlocked rom? hmm..
anyway, thanks for all the hard work devs! keep it coming =D
edit: i did actually unlock first then update.
you will hard brick your phone if you go back to 1.8.3 after installing the OTA 2.3.4
why do you want to go back to 1.8.3?
i don't! i'm worried about flashing a custom rom based on 1.8.3 by accident not knowing that's what its based on

Right now, most roms are flashed via CWM, which shouldnt touch your bootloader. The bricking occures because the official SBF files include an older bootloader which is now seen as an invalid version thanks to the burnt fuse. I dont want to say its impossible, but your not likely to hard brick through CWM. Just dont ever touch RSD/SBFs again and you should be set.
Not to mention, most of the Froyo based roms were made for the old CWM and probably dont work right on the unlocked version of CWM.
If you do decide to go back to Froyo for whatever reason, look for the fruitcake thread. That has CWM flashable firmwares without bootloaders in them, so there's no chance of a hard brick compared to SBFs.
Nevermind mispost
that's basically what i wanted to know. cheers!
Hey guys quick question.
I am on Kennenths 4.5 beta of gingerblur using r1 of Faux's kernel. Recently I have been experiencing screen problems like it's not getting enough power so I want to flash back to complete stock 2.2.
I have an unlocked bootloader as well.
So to do this. Can I use RSD Lite and the 1.8.3 sbf and just flash that? Or is there a seperate way. I am not on the OTA update of 2.3.4
Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190502
There is a sbf there that WILL NOT BRICK you if you flash via RSD Lite. It just flashes you back to Stock GB like it just came right OOB. I softbricked yesterday trying to manually deodex and I flashed that sbf back to stock GB.
Prior flash I was rooted, BL unlocked and running faux's kernel. After I flashed it which took a while, it went back to stock GB where I then had to reroot, unlock the BL and install the kernel again for OCing.
This is the ONLY sbf without pudding that is official from MOTO that will not brick you when you flash via RSD.
I'm not on gingerbread nor do I want to be. I want to go back to stock 2.2

Flash a full SBF file (not service), if you have one.
I know this is NOT RECOMMENDED, but here in Brazilian forums there are a lot of posts from users who got back to stock 2.2.2 rom simply by flashing a full SBF rom thru RSD Lite. Some of them reported boot loop which was easily solved by performing a full wipe. There are NOT a single one report of hard brick. Anyway, if you decide to flash a SBF, do it assuming your own risk.
Ops, forgot to mention. DON´T FLASH A SBF FILE IF YOUR ATRIX IS AT&T, you could hard brick it.
Hi, sorry about this. I just got my Atrix today from the US, unlocked, but it was from AT&T, with Froyo 2.2.2, baseband N_01.77.15P, build number OLYFR_U4_1.8.3 and I have a few questions because I am seriously going crazy trying to figure this out alone (it's a whole lotta complicated than my Milestone...)
I'm sorry if this would be a lot! I am totally new to this Atrix
1.) I tried the OTA update for the official Gingerbread but it was unsuccessful. Basically, I just rooted the phone then tried the OTA update and it didn't push through. Should I try again? I am thinking of downloading the file via laptop and transferring it then trying again. But I have seen some issues that their phones were bricked...
2.) Since this is an AT&T Atrix, should I only flash AT&T radio images or can I use the other images? (Southeast Asia or International) I don't know why but I only have one bar in the house, and a lot of times, none. Can I flash another radio image even though it is from AT&T? Will it improve my signal? I've read other threads here but one guy said that it should still be AT&T regardless of where you use it..so I am confused.
3.) I want to put CM7 instead to my Atrix since it is what I used with my Milestone. Should I first flash CM7 before I flash the radio image? Or the other way around? I figured out that this thread..well I just have to follow it yes? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257574
Thank you so much in advanced for those who would be helping me out.
Happy Holidays!
If your phone is only SIM unlocked, you'll need to bootloader unlock it to do the following. You'll also need to flash RomRacer's CWM recovery.
1) try use Fruit Cake if you want to upgrade to 2.3.4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009. Or if you prefer CM7, after BL unlock and install recovery, you can directly go ahead to flash CM7.
2) You can try to flash a newer AT&T radio, see the Fruit Cake post above, or the CM7 stable build post. My experience is that AT&T radio can be used in other countries as long as it's GSM/WCDMA and the frequencies are covered
3) flashing CM7 image won't affect the radio, they're in two different partitions and are independent of each other.
Good luck.
Hi, thanks for the reply. OK, I think shall go with the Fruit Cake but...how do I flash these FruitCakes via CWM?

I'm in the Philippines as well, I use CM7 Feb 20 weekly. 100.00R baseband I think it came from Orange FR, but it works great.
does your 3G work with your atrix phone? or do you need to get a contract from smart or globe? i have used my phone in the Philippines with no problem except having 3G or any data service but everything else works fine
