I have been searching and maybe I just missed it. I need to get back to stock from ICS so I can work on fixing root. What do I need to do? If there's a thread or post somewhere that explains this, please point me to it.
Thanks.
I am re-downloading Matt's utility and I will try it. If this is not what I should do, someone please speak up
Ive used that or RSD both work.

The only way the rooting worked for me after the update was the old way.
Hey Guys/Girls,
I was recently trying to update my atrix to Gingerbread which resulted in me bricking my atrix, I have tried to flash a stock sbf to it but it seems to keep getting an error stating "Chipset 53 not supported".
Could anyone help me try and revive my device?
Also whenever I try to flash it I get another error I will post a screen shot of it underneath.
Thanks in Advance
Seems to me you are trying to flash the wrong sbf. Btw, if you haven't seen the stickies, you may want to avoid the official gb Sbf and use the fruitcakes or other remade roms so that you don't have a potentially hard brickable device.
+1 That's the wrong file.

Thank you for the responses guys, I'm going to try and flash it as soon as the file downloads will keep everyone posted
I have an at&t s2 I777.....it is rooted one i guess (it was gifted)..
I want the ICS on it...and believe me i know nothing about how to get it....
i googled and found many people explaining the process for a windows PC version.
I have a mac and if some one would please care to explain (step-by-step is much appreciated)..i attach the present status of the I777...
Thanks....
Senior members will probably scream SEARCH at you 'til blue in the face, so I'll throw you a bone since I've been stalking for far too long.
This (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878686) is a guide to Heimdall (basically Odin for Mac) find a kernal to flash (I started with Siyah http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19650906&postcount=1) and follow the Heimdall guide to flash to your GS2. Next you can download any ICS Rom (I've been using ShoStock2 since version 1.1) to your phone and flash the zip using CWM (there are a plethora of guides on this should you need it, so search.)
Check out my thread, no need for a computer to flash the update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722064
I would suggest you follow the guide linked in my signature. It has instructions for using heimdall with the mac.
Do *not* install Siyah 3.4 on your phone if you are running Gingerbread stock or modified firmware. You can not use an ICS kernel with a Gingerbread system.
If you have any questions or problems as you work through the guide, feel free to post your questions in that thread.
Edit: if you already have ClockworkMod Recovery on the phone, then you can just download the firmware distribution you want and flash it in recovery.

Hmm, didn't know that was out there, guess I got comfortable with Odin on PC flashing my G-Tab and never bothered to look :/. This would be a much easier process for you OP.

I could see why... alas, I have no reason to install it since I have already used the "middle-man" method.

Yes, it is based on the last AT&T release. You will need CWM to install the ROM.

When you use mobile Odin, it gives you a choice to root while flashing.

Honestly, I keep all of my fingers crossed for OP action.
Im in need of the stock sprint 4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_13 firmware that I can flash using RSDlite.
Yes I have searched for it.
No I havent found anything I can use.
Yes, I will be extremely grateful and hit the thanks button if you help me.
No, I will not read your reply telling me I don't need it/shouldn't use it, cant unlock or root, that it sucks, or telling me I should search for it.
I need it...I know I need it...I would really appreciate the help of someone who is better at this than me. Thank you.

thank you for the reply. Unfortunately no. i think i saw this one earlier. Maybe Im doing it wrong but i think i need an SBF file to use RSDlite. I didnt see one in here, and when i tried to let RSD unzip and flash it it failed. That may be a little beyond my expertise, I know just enough to be dangerous. Although, if i can unzip and flash the boot, system, recovery...etc files through fastboot and adb this may work. ive done that on other phones. Thanks again.
That file is for flashing in recovery.
Check the stickies to find sbf.
But there's no sprint 254 only one for the electrify.
Also,
RSD will gives you an error at the end, pull battery out replace boot up.
Good luck.

what hboot, radios, and firmware version do you have? You would have to be at 4. something firmware for it to work properly.
