Can I simply take my Atrix, flash the 2.3.4 sbf, and update to 2.3.6 when the OTA update window comes up? The Atrix is rooted unlocked and cwm.
I just want to be unrooted and on the official OTA track, don't care about preserving cwm, root, or unlocked bootloader.
I'm currently on
45.2.49mb860.personal.en.ar
2.3.6
web top oshwt_u1_4.257.30
This is an att Atrix running on att.
Bump...should I flash to the 2.3.6 sbf

Does going over the Motorola's website and doing a clean OS update from their website brick your phone?

So 2.3.4 sbf, then 2.3.6 sbf? What's 2.4.5?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
sorry my mistake......sent that from phone, i din notice, its 2.3.4 not 2.3.5!! was unlocked and tried almost all rom! last day i switched back to stock 2.3.4 rom (not sbf, but the moto-fastboot flash images). download it and flash everything one by one, system, data, webtop, preinstall, boot, radio... then download the official 2.3.6 update from motorola s/w update page, then flash it via CWM. after reboot your bootloader will be updated and re-locked. and the system files will be updated to 2.3.6. back to pure stock, and latest version!

why dont u try the simple moto-fastboot flash method. its safe than the rsd!! ended up bricking my device once when i played with rsd. but never after....
Thank you njarun, one last thing..where do I find these files?
download it from androidpolice.com, kennthpenn has a good guide in reverting back to 4.5.91 stock 2.3.4 gb. then download update from moto website. use moto-fastboot, not fastboot since fastboot cant handle large img files....

Hi, i have the screen always on motorola logo... this is a hard brick? I can put right my phone?

No your just stuck in a boot loop. If you have cwm you can try a factory reset, or flash an sbf if your on an att atrix. Not sure if there is an sbf for other versions.

Do not do it if you flashed the 2.3.4 update or you will have a hard brick. I would recommend starting from 1.2.6 so you can root.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
i have this problem after the installation of
[ROM] AT&T 4.5.91 ★ Gingerbread 2.3.4 ★ Beta #4
If you flashed kenns rom you should be ok flashing an sbf I think it would only brick if you used the other method. If you can get into recovery I would recommend just flashing kenns rom again though should fix it

I had that problem I realized it wasn't working because I downloaded the wrong cwm... I had an older version make sure u get the one by the screen shot that says 6/30 or it'll brick. No it isn't hard brick what I did was flash hktw with moto-fastboot and from there I installed gingerbread beta 4 and its flawless it took a lot of help from xda team but I love it I thought id extend my help

I think i might have been one of the dumb ones to do the .zip flash of the BETA #3 gingerbread update. I searched and noticed the only way to go back to 2.2 was to unlock 1st. the question is when the official moto 2.3.4 comes out will i be able to update to that version without any issues via OTA?
I know some maybe running soak versions which may prevent them from reverting back to 2.2 as well. So do you guys think moto or the devs will figure a way for those that didn't root/unlocked before doing the update.zip to start recieving OTAs?
If ur on kens beta going back to stock will work and stock is the way you'll get the ota until it comes out as an sbf to flash

I'm not on kens. i did the update i believe before kens was available. is there a way to go through kens route since i'm already on the stock 2.3.4?
If you flashed the stock OTA that was leaked, you risk bricking when flashing back.
Moto's OTA is designed to prevent backwards flashing.
I believe they found a way through pudding look on kens roms thread and there should be a link on how ti do so if nit there go to the calling all hardbricks post and do the steps there to prevent bricking

what if i just want to get the offcial ota when it is released. would i still be in luck or still need to unlock and root?
I have a rooted Atrix on Official at&t 2.3.4 OTA.
bootloader locked
webtop unavailable.
I read you can flash gingerbread on top of this OTA? is this true?
can I use rsd to flash back to a clean copy of gingerbread or will I hard brick?
please point me to the correct thread....
Me too
I want to know too.. Except mine is unlocked and rooted on Stock GB
Can I "Clean Format" GB
If you're on 2.3.4 OTA then you're on gingerbread. What are you wanting to do?

SO if I flash the leaked 2.3.4 on top of my OTA 2.3.4 with RSD it wont brick? I'm guessing itll just reinstall?
Edit: All I want to know is if I can flash the leaked version on top of the OTA withou bricking so this way I can unlock the BL and get some ROMS....I just dont want to end up using RSD to flash 2.3.4 and end up with a paper weight
Hi All,
I have read lots of posts and am confused so sorry if already answered.
I have a uk orange atrix rooted and have unlocked bootloader running Aura 1.2.2.2. I wish to flash the uk stock rom from the firmwares superthread, is it safe for me to use rsdlite to flash rom.
Many thanks
Just flash a fruitcake
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I was waiting for one but their is not a uk one yet. i thought that if it was ok to flash an sbf using rsdlight with an unlocked bootloader then i would create a fruitcake of it for others to use.
I did it flashed back to stock with rds after unlock bl and all worked fine but I cant flash with fastboot now as I think bootlader relocked.

I was just reading on this, I know this is safer, but would you recommend? I'm trying not to get caught up in AT&T lol

I don't get you lol but I would like to know, does it say "unlocked" upon boot? If not then How'd you do it
you should unlock the bootloader
and flash a 2.3 rom they are alot better than froyo roms
Wish there was a UK Gingerbread fruitcake for us over here

Hey everyone
A friend of mine played around with my Atrix 4g (unlocked from AT&T) and I think he may have accepted the OTA update, because now my phone will boot up fine - just as normal - but then when it has been on for 20-40 seconds at the homescreens, it just says "powering off" and it powers off as if I had shut it down normally. When it's shut down it automaticly tries to start again, and the whole thing starts over!
I'm not very good at stuff like this so if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it, so I can get off my horrible old Nokia back-up phone
First of all was your ATRIX rooted and had a custom rom installed?

Yes the Atrix was rooted but I never a custom rom installed.
Your best bet is to either flash sbf to 2.3.4 stock using RSD LITE, or factory reset it before it turns off on u again.

Well since it always manages to shut me down before I can reach the reset-"switch" I guess that leaves me one option
Sbf it is. But before I post link to all downloads an post steps I need to know what version u have currently on your ATRIX right now.

It says 4.5.91 under system version and the android version is 2.3.4
I will post link for the sbf file and rsd lite. Soon. Pm me

Www.das8nt.com/downloads.html if u have at&t it will be second green box. Click on 4.5.91(2.3.4) service SBF(stock)
Then go to first green box and click on RSD Lite 5.6. (MUST HAVE DRIVERS INSTALLED)
sent from "ATRIX-BEAST" using voice commands.
That seems to have done the trick! The phone now boots up normally, and all the At&t crap is back
How should I update my phone to the newest version? It's now running android 2.3.6 with the system version being 4.5.141
Thanks for all your help!
Your ATRIX is now 2.3.6 u see it worked. Now what ever u do do not downgrade back to 2.3.4 or even re-flash the 2.3.6 it will just brick your ATRIX. Now if u want to root it u would have to look if there's even a root method for 2.3.6.
