Hello guys, I tried to post my question on the Atrix 4g Development forum but since I am new I don't have the privileges yet.
Well, I started to follow a tutorial on how to root/unlock bootloader for the atrix 4g, everything was going great, phone is now rooted and all but when I got to the part where the phone has to be set to RSD Mode and then connected through usb to run RSD Lite 5.6 in order to flash the proper unlock.sbf file, the issue is that the phone must be recognized by RSD lite 5.6 as "NS Flash Olympus" but instead it recognizes it as "SE Flash Olympus" I immediately did some research and a user who followed that proceeded under the same circumstances got his phone bricked. I did not proceed and would like to know the most secure way to get the bootloader unlocked under these circumstances without bricking the phone.
Will a "SE" phone be already factory unlocked?
Provider: Claro, Dominican Republic
Froyo 2.2.2

Well im from dominican republic too and i unlocked my phone following that guide, just be sure you have uninstalled any previous SonyEricsson drivers or outdated Motorola Drivers and install the new ones.
Thanks for the help, I proceeded with the IHOP .sbf file and it worked like a charm! Currently running CM7 Neutrino v2.6
Thanks!

Hello,after recieving a replacement atrix from a seller(old one hat the reboot issue) i recieved a new one,which was already running 2.3.4 but i don't know in which status it is and if i can run the automatic bootloader unlock script on it,because i don't want to end up with a bricked phone.
If you read the instructions, understanding them and understanding what you going to do, you won't end up with a bricked phone.
Just read everything before doing any step and understand every step.
And if something goes wrong, there are people who will help you that know how to help you fix your device.
AT&T device ?
On 1.26/1.57/1.83/4.5.91 ?
Check when you turn on the phone that its not showing the Unlocked near the motorola logo. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=667216&d=1311734310)
If you sure that everything is OK, go ahead and unlock your Atrix
Make sure you read all the instructions and following them.
Good luck, have fun.
Hello, I just recently got an Atrix off of ebay. I want to get into playing witih android phones. I've already read numerous threads, got the android sdk, rsd lite, etc.. I've been reading about flashing, and to be careful of what you flash based on what firmware versions are already on the phone.
The problem I have is the phone is subsidy locked, but it's locked in a way that not even AT&T sims work. It always asks for the pin, and the code AT&T gave me (they stated it was the subsidy unlock code) fails. So I looked at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356121
However, I have no idea what's on this phone. I can't access any settings menu in the phone, as it sticks to the "Emergency Calls Only" screen. i don't know what firmware is on the phone, what radio is on it, etc.. I don't want to try to flash a radio file and have it brick my phone. I've read quite a bit this past hour, but I'm at a crossroads here and don't know what to do to figure out what is exactly on this phone. If I knew what I had exactly, I'd be a lot more confident in flashing things.
I do know the bootloader is unlocked (the phone boots saying "Unlocked"). That's all I know :\
EDIT: Disregard. It took me another 6 hours but I finally got everything figured out (had to boot it with no sim to view things, then from there I got into it all). Rooted, CWM, flashed the bell radio and my sim works for now. Thanks for the valuable info that's listed here!
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
hey,
I do have the atrix which is netwoek subsidy locked.
I even cant use at&t. I am outside us currently.
Could you tell me how did you flashed bell radio & where u got that.
Thanks
Hey everybody,
Today I decided that my Maxx (eu, germany) was to slugish so I gave it a in - OS wipe and reset. But unfortunately my razr (xt912) refused to boot up again, just kept hanging in the 'upgrading android' for several hours. So than decided to download myself some fastboot files and start from scratch. Unfortunately themmost logical candidates of the fastboot files keep on returning the following error on RSD: Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. 6/21 flash CDT.bin "cdt.bin_signed" --> Phone returned fail ; phone connected.
Getting a bit desperate here. Hope you guys can help me with this.
Cheers.

Isn't the European version xt910? IS yours really a 912? That would imply a North American variant. You could always throw an email to Motorola support with the IMEI asking for the phones origins...I did this and they confirmed mine was a Hong Kong variant.
I think you might be right. Its a German Razr Maxx. ( I know for certain its' German because it has germany specific apps on it). But would anyone know what the error means?
Fortunately I do can get in fastboot. Yesterday managed to get into android and the setup wizard but after the setup wizard I never get my launcher screen. The phone doesn't lock up just shows a black screen.
AW: Motorola RAZR maxx, bricked?
Hit the link in my signature, there you'll find the ICS Fastboots (Firmwarelist) and RSD-How to in German.

Hi Fellow Users!
I just bought LG v10 yesterday with international warranty even though i live in UAE, the problem is i am following all the steps from "step by step guide to root for tmo" but unfortunately i am not able to boot into phone recovery which is odd for me as i am a long time user of android, is that possible my phone doesn't have one? I tried everything adb, manually but nothing worked, i once booted my phone into recovery via adb but i saw green android picture with no command written on it and fastboot didn't worked there so there is that.
1) i tried dirty_cow but stuck at getenforce "permissive didn't appeared which is must needed, i think its related to my bootloader"
2) should i follow LGUP procedure even i am not sure my bootloader is unlocked?
P.S my phone is TMO although its unlocked to use any network.
Please advise, thank you
Unfortunately flashing KDZ file bricked my phone, :crying:
Now its just off it doesn't turn on tried everything any advise?
Update: Went to LG TechServe and handed over my phone to re-flash the original firmware, bad thing they don't cover international warranties as i live in UAE and the model i have is TMO with international warranty so there's that.
Reason to share the story, may people learn from this.
Have you tried with Kingroot app or kingoroot app? These apps can root many devices.
Last week I got cheap a Motorola V3i from Ebay. But when I put the battery in it only shows the bootloader with this message:
Boot Loader
0A.52.
SW Version:
R479_G_08.B4.8
DR
PH SIG ERROR
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
So I know i need to flash it with RSD lite, but i cant find any firmware for it even I searched the whole internet for it.
Does anyone here have a branding free firmware for my V3i?
I would be very greatful for it.
