[Q] 1.8.3 fruitcake - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I'm looking for an AT&T 1.8.3 fruit cake link all the links to 1.8.3 on the development thread don't work anymore
If possible 1.8.3 webtop as well but it isn't priority I can live without it.
Yes I know this is outdated but I received a reacement with 2.3.4 already on it
Another thing I'd take would be a 2.2 rom? Thanks in advanced

Thanks in advance.
Hi,
The framework for the OTA update is the same as stock, so any app or framework mods for one should work for the other.
Cheers!
Alright, I'll give it a go. Thanks for the help.

[Q] What is going to be the best way?

Alright currently running gingerblur 4.5, on 1.8.3. When the official OTA for gingerbread comes out whats going to be the best way to obtain the update? This is what i was thinking so correct me if im wrong cause im a some what NooB.

[Q] Somebody plz help...ATRIX ME860 wants to have a gingerbread

Hi all
I am a little bit confused?
I got my gf (girlfriend) a motorola atrix from website called PANAMOZ when it arrived I found out it was ME860 (HKTW) not MB860 (ATT 4G)
Some of the stuff was in chinese like keyboard etc etc.
I was going to get her a SGS II same as what I have but she said it was too big for her.
Now the problem I have got is it is running android 2.2.2 and my SGS II is on android 2.3.4
How can I get the motorola atrix ME860 on android 2.3.4?
Do I root it, sbf it via RSD lite, unlock bootloader (if so how),fastboot vol up vol down, etc etc.
I have been reading for 2 days on xda forum and I think I am going to go crazy!
My last moto was the wings! and with my nokia's, HTC, iphones, Blackberry's and Samsung's I have not had any problems updating to latest official or un-official firmware.
So all I would like is some help and support for you guys to get the atrix ME860(HKTW) on gingerbread 2.3.3 or 2.3.4
She is not interested in all types of mods or flashing custom roms every other week!
Just a stable phone that won't let her down and yet be SMART.
Thank you in advance for all your help-advice-tutorials-link
Go to Motorola.com find the atrix and ask them how to update, if your not trying to unlock or root. They should be able to help you.

Thank you for your input, I don't mind rooting/unlocking it, its just I don't want to end up bricking it.
I have been reading about using RSD and putting on 1.2.6 then root but when I try that, RSD lite just says fail. When I try the HKTW sbf (4.0.500) it does work but it gives me android 2.2.2 froyo on chinese firmware.
I live in UK and don't mind installing US, UK, EU firmware/sbf its just working out how and in what order I need to do this. I have managed to root it using gingerbreak 1.20apk
your further input is most appreciated thank you.

What happens when you just check for software update in the settings?
If that doesn't work then another option I suggest is to fruitcake up.
1. unlock your bootloader (follow the instructions in the International House of Pudding thread in development).
2. Install RomRacer's Recovery (also in development forum)
3. download the HKTW fruitcake in samcripp's fruitcake thread
4. install fruitcake via recovery you installed in step 2

it lets me update to 4.0.560 chinese version, after updating not much changes still android 2.2.2 froyo.
will have a look a fruitcake
Many thanks
It sounds like you/your girlfriend don't really need to unlock (which may or may not be safe with the ME860, since it is a different device).
What I would do is search for 2nd init and get the 2.3.4 HKTW sbf and use the /system from that build. Unfortunately you cannot flash it directly since it is test-keys signed not signer for end user use. You're going to have to do some digging around to find all the stuff you need. Your other option is to unlock and flash the /system and boot.img through fastboot.
Or you can learn Mandarin / Chinese and surf the HKTW forums to see if they can give you an (un)official HKTW sbf/rom.

[Q] Considering CM7 but confused about options to revert back

I'm considering trying CM7 but I want to ensure that I can change back to the stock ROM on my Atrix 4G (AT&T). I am currently running 2.3.6 / 4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.us.
I have tried searching the forums and found myself lost in many different threads and still have no clear understanding of a few things here.
I've read about SBF and Fruitcake files. Will either of those return my phone to the stock condition (or at least make it function the same way)? Is there a way to make a backup of my current ROM or download it from Motorola so that I can flash back to it? I saw Fruitcakes have 2.3.6 from "test servers." Are these reliable?
I'm also curious if I can now go back to 2.3.4 with the Fruitcakes. I was under the impression that after an OTA update it was previously impossible to downgrade. Has this now change?
Thank you for your time,
Techphets.
Also, I'm a bit confused what version number would be used to actually identify the ROM, 2.3.6 or 4.5.141? Thanks again.
USA att android 2.3.6 build 141
Flash away. You will be able to go back to stock using sbf. I wish someone would make a YouTube video to how other users it is safe to do so.
Look for the unlock thread here in xda.

[Q] [UNLOCK AND ROOT]HOW DO I UNLOCK BOOTLOADER? [4.5.141 version out-of-the-box]

Hey guys, i originally own a samsung galaxy ace and i've never ever ventured into the world of unlocked bootloaders and fastboot...My friend just got a new motorola Atrix 4G and it came with v4.5.141 OUT-OF-THE-BOX. I read the sticky in the development section warning not to update OTA to 4.5.141 but my question is, is there any way to unlock the bootloader on this phone which had the version pre-installed?
I'm an absolute n00b to bootloader unlocking and fastboot so if anyone could give a proper explanation, it would be greatly appreciated...

I found this post on Atrix Forums that only says if you have Gingerbread. I unlocked my Atrix recently, and I'd been running 2.3.6 for quite some time. My phone was originally the 2.2 I believe (it's been a little while), but the instructions there worked like a charm.
Best bet: Before doing anything, read all the instructions very very very carefully.

Pretty well-explained and easy to follow guide....but there's a WARNING thread in the dev section regarding this 4.5.141 version so i'm still confused...
Thanks for the link though, really well explained

The warning is about flashing the previous SBF over the current one.
This is a warning that multiple users, including myself, have hard bricked their devices by SBF flashing to 1.8.3 after installing an official 4.5.91 update.

So, do NOT try to flash the SBF for 4.1.83 or 4.1.57 (both are Froyo) over the current 4.5.91 (Gingerbread). In fact, it's best not to flash any SBF at all if you can avoid it. There is one that's required to unlock the boot loader, but this is a file that was leaked from Motorola specifically to unlock the boot loader. If your phone works right and you follow the instructions, you should have no problems. (EDIT: I seem to have read somewhere that the SBF file for unlocking the phone was a leak, but I could be wrong here.)
Remember: There is always risk in bricking or breaking your phone. Every set of instructions I've come across says it, whether they be automated or manual.
Maybe Hard Brick
I had Atrix 4g OTA to 4.5.141, then Unlocked bootloader using script 4.2, then trid to rSD back but choose the wrong file i think it was 4.5.91 not my Atrix says failed boot 1 starting fastboot support, and when i try to RSD the 4.5.141 sbf i get RSD unable to retrieve interface handle error. any thoughts?
