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

I finally got my lapdock! (yay) but please don't get mad when I ask this.
If anyone would please link me to a tutorial on how to install my rom if it is still in winrar. I need a tutorial on where to put it in my sd card, and the steps to install my rom.
I tried searching but a bunch of tutorials came up, not the ones I needed.
Thanks.

Dude you need to read at least a little...
Assuming you are already rooted and all:
Just get a Webtop from the Fruit Cakes and flash it through RomRacer's Recovery.
It's a lengthy flash so go grab some munchies

Where to start

Alright,I know this may get my head chewed off,but all the dev stuff here is scrambeled all over the place. It's easier for the ones that has been here since the beginning,coming in new to the atrix,its a little more complicated. Everywhere I read I see everyone saying diferent versions of the atrix shouldn't flash such and such.
Do I unlock bootloader first? Then root,then flash recovery,then install the Rom or kernal I want through cwm?
Sorry if I seem like a noob,but like I said,everything is scrambeled lol. I read the stickies,but the more reading I do,the more confused I come. I'm no noob,I know my way around all this,if i could get a simple yes or no,you won't see anymore noob questions like this from me,ever again.

I am not sure if there are other simpler ways to do this but this way worked for me so here goes: I have an AT&T atrix.
1) - Use RSD Lite to flash the 1.8.3 SBF. Guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072 I Used the full SBF not service just for a cleaner install. I rooted using GingerBreak: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Link to all SBFs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944 get the AT&T 1.8.3 FULL
2) - Unlock your bootloader. Guide here: http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader
3) - Install CWM recovery using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
4) - Use this flashable zip of 2.3.4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141013
5) - OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED Install Navalynt's MOD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142674 Download the v1.9 one without webtop fix.
Again I apologize if there is an easier/simpler way to do this but this worked for me and everything is great right now If you need any further assistance just ask.
Atrix guides are pretty much all over the place. When I modded/themed my friends Xperia X10 it was very easy. All the guides were stickied from the intro all the way to the other bits n pieces of info. I pretty much stayed on that page. I didn't even had to use the search function...lol

It is really a good instruction and link for the beginner. But you don't have to install all mod stuff. It depends on what you need. So far, I don't unlock bootloader and flash to new ROM. I did root, webtop mod and enabled sideload. It is good enough for me.

Wow,thanks bro. I didn't expect to be greeted with such welcome. I know how annoying a new comer can be. I started at the very beginning with the intercept,and I remember it was hard for the new comers to understand what was going on because everything had just started. Again,thanks bro. I don't have my atrix yet,but will soon. Ill hit the thanks button once I'm on my pc

[Q] Want to flash ROMs....

Ok ima start by saying ive looked and searched and now im more lost than before i started... lol Ive flashed my cappy a bunch but i was waiting for gingerbread on my atrix, and now im so far behind on whats going on i dont know where to start. Was gonna start with cwm but then read some and thought i needed to root first, started that and now thought i need to unlock first. All i want is root and to flash roms. What order do i need to go in. Also not sure what cmw to use. Thanks in advance for anyhelp
You need to unlock the bootloader first, then install CWM, as for which version you should use it's tenfar's. After you've got that installed you'll be able to what you want.

Awesome, thanks for the links!
A question: in the second link above, if I follow it through and try to download 198_7, the file has a .gz at the end of it. Delete it and continue with the flash process (extract sbf, etc)? And this is for both the Photon and Electrify, correct? And lastly, there always seems to be a little file with it, usually labeled data working. What's up with that?
Sent from my CM7 Unlocked Electrify.
extract the .gz and youll have the 2.3GB's of sbf goodness. from there go ahead and flash that using rsd lite. the data working etc etc is yay's flashable cwm zip that he managed to get data working..
Alright and at that big, that's not going to flash me back to stock I've read? As in ill keep my current CM7 goodness and all my settings?

For starters, you'll need to sbf to 2.3.4 before thinking about flashing liberty. Look in DX2 development for the thread, I can't link you from here.
Assuming all that works out you'll want to:
Root your device using Pete's Root Tools
Install bootstrap recovery
Put the Liberty ROM on your external sd card
Boot into recovery
Wipe Dalvik, Cache, and data
Scroll down to "install zip from SD card" the hit the liberty file
Let it install, go back to the main screen, reboot and bam, you have liberty.
That is a rather general outline. I can provide more details in bursts if you need them.

I like this!!!
Thanks for this! Great resource!
my phone is asking for Flash MDM6600, could anyone elaborate what exactly it is and were i can find the drivers plz
website looks promising, i just unlocked for the first time. as all other instructions have been missing files to flash etc... thanks
Now that I see that the website is getting used I will continue progress on it. Thanks for your feedback .

You should ask QBking77 if you can post some of his how-to videos on your website.
Plan on using your guide to unlock my Photon. Thanks a lot and I like your site. I do have one question though. I installed CWM from he market, do I still need to flash it like you said on your website or am I good to go with the one from the market?
The app "ROM manager" from the market does not flash the correct recovery to flash anything ICS based. Cm9, MIUI, aokp, all will not work from that recovery. If you want to use those ROMS you need to use either rom racers or jokers recoveries.

if I flash jokers or ROM racers recovery will that be good to flash non ics roms also? And should I uninstall the Cwm I installed from the market?

Yes. I use 5.0.2.7-photon3 and have flashed several ROMs with it with a 100% success rate. You can also create nandroids and restore them with it.

Put the phone in fastboot mode then open the cmd.exe in the unlocking pack.
Typing "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" should flash the CWM. Make sure that the cmd.exe, fastboot.exe, and recovery.img are all in the same folder. I believe i put them together but I could be wrong.
As of 23:57 GMT -5 April 20, 2012 I have started the closing of Imperium Initiate website. The final wipe and domain release will occur on April 30th. JamesChilds' Photon Website will be the only comprehensive source for the Photon when it's completed.

Does it matter that I flashed the cwm version from the market? Ive tried your method and qbkings method and it still isnt working. im frustrated at this point.
