Hi can any Dev make a cwm flashable stock rom zip? Back to 1.8.3 . So we do not have to keep using rsd when we don't like or would like to change the rom. This might already be a work in progress I'm not sure. I for one would like to have one. Thank you devs for all of your hard work into getting this ATRIX phone unlocked and rooted

Can't you use CWM to do a nandroid backup/restore of 1.8.3? I thought you could but haven't tried it, so if anyone can confirm that would be nice.
DING! Wrong forum

Never even thought about doing that , sometimes the best answer is the simplest things. And yes if someone could please comfirm that this works , this would be much appreciated.
It does be sure to wipe everything before restoring 1.8.3 or it will boot loop. Wrong forum BTW.

Thank you jruweaver, and my apologies on not posting in the right forum.
And could someone post a link to a download for the cwm 1.8.3 AT&T stock rom for clockworkmod recovery.
Can someone point me in the right place?

1. I recommend using a custom ROM, only because its faster and you get better performance.
2. Yes. If you are will to do it, I have an easy way how.
3. Most if not all ROMS are better than than stock.
4. Only if you downgrade software from 2.3 to 2.2 you will brick your phone. Correct me if I am wrong though on this one other xda members. I am willing to help, just let me know.

Thank you very much Voelker, and which rom would u recommend me? the fastest and stable rom?. Also how about the update, should i first unlock the bootloader then update to the oficial version of ginger? or should i unlock the bootloader then update to a custom rom without touching the oficial version ever?
cm7 is the best unless you want webtop or fingerprint scanner
if you want webtop or fingerprint scanner id say go for alien
Here is the easiest way to unlock bootloader and root your phone.

Don't know, but the latest build has "improved recording quality"

judging by your signature i assume u have CM7, i read a post in the official CM7 rom thread that there was something wrong with the dialer? like the graphics were kind of weird or zoomed, can u confirm this?
Also, do u have the latest build? can u tell me if there's a 1080p option there?
Also have any of you tried this kernel? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257574&page=299
No one? well can anyone tell me which one is the best kernel for the Atrix?
I use Faux123's 1ghz cm7 kernal

Does that one allows you to overclock?

No you need the faux kernel that is over 1 ghz like the 1.45 kernel. You can definetly over clock that.

amazon..co.uk buy
Hello everyone i'm new to this forum and i would like to know what i should do with my atrix.
I bought it off of amazon.co.uk (i live in england) and i would like to know how to root it. (i run Gingerbread, by the way)I know you must be thinking oh what an idiot follow the tutorials, but i keep seeing AT&T everywhere so im wondering what's up with that, and why are some of the roms only compatible with AT&T. Oh, and i searched allready too.
Have you tried this? ... http://www.psouza4.com/Bionic/
At the top, it says "This method works on Motorola phones running Android OS 2.3.4 or earlier." There is no mention of AT&T.
Hope this helps
thanks! yeah i looked at that, but i still dont get the whole AT&T thing for ROM. As im in england i cant get AT&T but thanks anyway for that root method!
The AT&T thing is because there is an Atrix International and an Atrix 4G from AT&T. Its mostly same specs, barely 3g bands.

Hi I was thinking of buyinga atrix I just have a few questions if u can help me.
1.how well is the fingerprint recognition?
2.is there a official ginber bread or a custom working one with all features of the phone working.
3.is the internel memory different from provider to provider (I know the bloatware by providers use up a bit of the memory).
4.also is any features missing by any providers (I can remember tmobile sometimes would remove front facing cameras on certain devices).
5.I heard there is screen issues how true is this? Also are there any other issues.
Sorry for so many questions .
Thanks using htc sensation at the moment.
Hi there, Forgive me if there is a thread already for this. But I have a T-Mobile UK Motorola Atrix and i want to reinstall the firmware that came with the phone. I was unable to do a backup of the stock rom and Currently have a Stock French rom on the device. Is there a way to put the original rom on it and lock the bootloader?
Thanks Adam
Ill second this request too.

This is SBF file which will get your mobile to stock and also will lock your bootloader (it's not going to be locked again but it will remove "unlocked" from top left corner).
In order to use sbf files you need to download RDS lite and have moto drivers installed. (If you are already unlocked then you will have all this tools)
This is link to original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944
REMEMBER this is an SBF file and it's not the safest way to go back to stock (but the best) and can brick your mobile if your pc is going to stop working/freeze/resboot while applying sbf...
Hope this help
P.S I did go back to stock this way and gave my phone for warranty without any problems.

This will only get you back to stock but you still will have "unlocked" on the top left corner. Just FYI

Thankyou for all your help I have the T-Mobile stock rom back on it now. I had to do a hard reset to make it work though. Just a note to anyone thinking of doing this. Does anyone know how to make the Atrix boot faster? It takes ages on the t-mobile screen. I have rooted it and was thinking of Freezing some parts of the OS but im a bit worried incase it messes up

i wouldnt bother, youd see a much bigger difference if you were using cm7 over one of the bloated moto roms boots super fast after first boot

Hi, Could you install the fruitcake app and make a fruitcake of your rom.

I know this is a 4 months old threat.. but i need to send my at&t atrix to warranty and I have done anything possible on it..
Android version 2.3.6 and 4.5.141.. so I just have to flash .sfb file using RSD lite..? I've been reading and I don't want to hardbrick my phone..
I wanna make sure to do exactly what I have to.. if it got bricked well wtf but at least I did what I should..!!
Thks
t mobile
i have the t mobile uk 2.3.4 sbf save on pc
I really need the t-mobile uk sbf. How can I get it from you Ashley, can you upload it somewhere? thanks
did you ever upload the stock sbf file in the end because im looking for it aswell and all the links i find are dead :-s
Any help would be great
Hi, Can someone please re-upload the SBF from the start of this thread, I need to remove the unlocked and back to stock.
Thanks
I'll try and do it later this evening, check Sam Cripps Atrix Reboot Project thread at the top of this section, that's where I'll put it.
Done, it`s here http://samcripp.com/files/. I haven`t ever flashed this myself, but it`s straight from moto thro their updater SW so should be intact. I`m sure you`re aware there may be risks involved flashing an SBF, that said, enjoy!
Thanks.

Is there any way to return to COMPLETE STOCK 2.3.6 ? of course also to be rooted.
Thanks !
Not an OP but extensively read
I would like to know the answer to this also. I've read everywhere and there seems to be lots of warnings involved when going back to a stock room on the Atrix 4G. Is anyone available to confirm?
Only safe way is to flash a Fruitcake.

What are the dangers in flashing with RSDlite ? i flashed my fathers RAZR with it few times..
I have flashed two phones with the stock sbf. I don't know why everyone is freaking out about it. I just flashed a 2nd time to be sure. NO PROBLEMS ......

guide please ?
Download the latest RSD lite.
Install the program on your Windows computer. ( xp works best for me. Sometimes get errors on win7).
Download the 2.3.6 sbf. Make sure it is the one for your carrier.
Open rsd lite.
Select the sbf file.
Start.
That's what I did. It was simple.
A google search could probably find you a better guide though.
Good luck.
As usual, this is what I have done, and I take no responsibility if it doesn't work for you.
Using rsdlite to flash an .sbf is dangerous if you flash one prior to 2.3.4 gingerbread. All others are safe to my knowledge. But using pudding is easier and faster.

Quick note: If you SBF flash a stock ROM while you're on a custom ROM, remember to wipe the data in stock recovery when you're done! :good:
Thanks !
Now, where can i find SBF file which is compatible with ATT Atrix 4G in Israel ?
My carrier is Cellcom but i bought the phone with ATT Rom.
And another q's, if i flash SBF of complete stock 2.3.4, will i be able to use Moto OTA update through the phone to get 2.3.6 ?
Thanks again !

Do not use RSD lite and .sbf. do some searching and you will find that Motorola doesn't condone using RSd lite for public use. Flash the appropriate fruitcakes just like you would a rom except wipe the phone completely (especially when you are down grading. If you do use rsd lite and hard brick your phone I will have no sympathy for you as your phone will be a very expensive paper weight. Many many people have already started forum pages on why you should not use rsd lite. Just my opinion... take it or leave it as you may.

Your welcome... didn't mean to come off harsh, but I'd rather sound harsh then have another fellow member hard brick their phone.. use the search and look for fruitcakes... completely safe, just remember to always have a known working backup as always before upgrading or downgrading versions.

I live in Israel and have the ATT atrix 4G running Cm7 now.
The problem with sbf files is if you flash the wrong one. Make sure you have the right one and you will have no problems. Check the other threads. There are alot of us flashing them.
It would solve your problem.
