I am planing to fully format my phone so that I restore the sdp file that I moved back to the original place and need to update to gingsoerbread....so that I dont get. the same problem after iI update to gingerbread....so these are questions that iI need to ask to which iI couldn't get answers....some of these may have been posted but senior members pls dont get frustrated with me for asking a noob ques....
1. I need to do a full factory format...if I do so w will it get locked like when I got it in the us...and pls direct me to the place which gives step by step instructions to hard format my phone...and unlock it at the same time...
2. after hard formatting wil I be able to use my bluetooth function...
3. I need to update to ginger bread....for which I need a step by step guide...if some one could pls direct me to the link or thread...pls....i know this is a noob question but I am not able to do so...pls help
4.i have installed so many apps and games that I do not want to lose if I hard format...is there a software like norton ghost for android....which will help me restore the apps games contacts which I previously had....i know titanium backup is one option not sure whether it does the function which I expect it to do...
.pls and I do know about this thread for the noobs where I couldn't find the answer to these questions ....http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1154600
could someone pls help...i am desperate...
. thank you very much for reading this whole boring post....and pls be kind and reply if you know answers to any of these questions....
a step by step guide would be much appreciated...
thank you

I had nothing but problems out of my wifes atrix after performing the root procedure. I returned it to stock and traded it in on day 29 and got the htc inspire for her instead which we run cm7 on. The atrix is a nice little device out of the box but once i got tinkering with it seemed like one issue after another. My personal phone is an evo3d. Love it!!!! I know this doesnt answer your OP but just wanted to share my frustrations with the atrix. Good luck.

1. Once you are unlocked you stay unlocked
2. I had the same prob before gingerbread and rebooting the phone seamed to help, since gingerbread I have not had an issue with bluetooth
4. Yes TiBU can do this for you. Backup to extsd then after flashing restore from extsd.

What the hell are you even talking about?
thanks wiredpirate for the reply....
so what should I do now....
should I format first or should I unlock my bootloader first to update to gingerbread...
if I format first will I have 4.1.83 version or the one which I had when I first bought the phone....

Depends on what you mean by "format". A Factory reset done on the phone will return you to the stock version of that version, but RSD will return you to the version you flashed.

Depends on how you want to get gingerbread. Either the Official way, where you won't lose your data and won't need to unlock your bootloader BUT YOU CANNOT GO BACK TO FROYO AFTER PERFORMING THE OFFICIAL UPDATE or by flashing custom roms /fastboot images. If you decide to go this way, your bootloader must be unlocked, but you will have the option to go back to froyo.
yawn, covered extentsivly in the stickies. lol, step by step guide to install gingerbread..........?

LOL. "the atrix" eh?
There was NOTHING wrong with your Atrix. It was you. 100%. Undeniable.
Everyone gets the same software from the beginning. Rooting properly doesn't interfere with anything. You most likely used Superone Click.
Plus, first off Evo3d's blow compared to an Atrix, our phones are about 4x more powerful in every way, so don't go repping your Evo3d here. Second, any phone you bought for your wife was not as good as the Atrix, plain and simple.
Another failure. 0/2 bud, nice....
Here is my issue. I have SGH-i777 - Plugged it into Kies - Updated to ICS - Found a Guide (not on here - stupid me) to Root my SGH-i777 on ICS.
It worked, but I noticed the GT-i9100 under the Galaxy S II logo with a yellow triangle at the bottom -however, the phone worked great until I stupidly used ROM Manager - Bricked my phone. I found a guide on here, but again...stupid me...didnt realize I was following a guide for the GT-i9100 resulting me in solving my issue and getting the phone to finally turn back...but only to think it was fully a GT-i9100. The only two keys on the bottom that worked, were my home button and the menu button on the bottom left. Nothing else.
I have searched and searched for this, and found a Post on here that advised me to Download the Odin3 I777 One Click No BL. Once I finally got my phone into download mode (which was a chore in itself) I finally was able to show SGH-i777 in My Kernel Version when I go into About Phone. HOWEVER - I still get the GT-i9100 under the logo during boot, my Auto Play window that pops up on my computer when phone gets plugged in via USB shows GT-i9100 and Kies tells me it can not update the device but at least it registers as SGH-i777
My questions are, how to get rid of whatever it is that shows up GT-i9100...so I guess how to start ALL OVER. And second, is how to properly get ICS or maybe even Jelly Bean - and if there is a root for it. What the proper steps are, so I dont end up in this mess again. Thanks in advance guys!
Triangle away from the appstore works to get rid of the triangle and such. You can also flash most if not all the roms here they are all ics or jb anymore I think

Hey buddy,
Looks like you took the long way haha. Alright, first of all we need to check if you are already rooted. Not sure if the one click no bl for you talk about was rooted or not.
If you determine you are rooted, you should be able to go into the android development forum, and flash any rom (be sure to follow instructions in OP).
If not, post back your android version, kernel info, and we'll go from there.
Ps, triangle away removes the triangle and gti9100 logo from startup, but you must be rooted and on ics (not sure if it works on jb, def no for gingerbread)

TriangleAway only works on ICS.
OP thanks for trying everything yourself first and learning from your mistakes before posting! You have no idea how many people don't put forth the effort you have done already. So as a reward, I'll provide you with nice easy links to get you back up and running again! :highfive:
This guide will help you get back to completely stock, unrooted Gingerbread (as if you just bought the phone). You can skip only the last step of that guide since you're actually keeping your phone. Then you can use this guide to start flashing custom ROMs without getting that triangle thing. I highly recommend reading both guides very thoroughly and multiple times so you understand everything. After doing so, feel free to ask questions about anything you don't understand from your reading and I'll do my best to help you out. And after you fully understand everything you are about to do, here's a list of ROMs, kernels, etc for your choice of flashing (most custom ROMs for this phone versions of ICS).

Haha, thanks. I tend to find pleasure in finding out things for myself. I love messing and tweaking with things. But this has got me stumped. I am used to Apple (if I am allowed to use that word here ) And jailbreaking that was a breeze. This, is way more challenging and entertaining.
so this is all about the warning triangle? and how to get to ICS?
r u serious?
I had to of missed something, but already flashed i777 stock, so yeah
I'm guessing it was the fact that OP's post was written in decent English and explained his problem in fairly well, the steps he took to cause it and what he's done to try to resolve, that it took a whole hour for the regulars to jump in here with the typical bs posts. (and ya, I know this is a bs post also, but damn, it gets old reading these same guys crap)

hello, also a new user here, with a situation similar to OP's
I had a working, rooted ICS by flashing the siyah kernel. Then I ran ROM manager and ruined everything
I used "I777UCKH7 OCD Root No BL" to get back to rooted gingerbread, but it's full of errors "android.process.acore unexpectedly ended"
I don't want to make it worse, which is why I'm asking you guys. Do I need CWM to do a system wipe? Should I reset/wipe my phone first, then flash an ICS ROM? What about kernels - how do I go from UCKH7 to UCLE5 (if that makes sense)?
my end goal is just a rooted ICS

From my understanding you can do a wipe data/factory reset from 3e recovery while on KH7.....I'd search it beforehand. but IIRC.
But if you want stock. flash stock.
we dont need a working system to be able to flash a ROM with Odin or CWM.

LOL...yes. This, and we should also add that if you flash a ROM for the 9100 on your 777 you need to buy all the recognized devs on the 777 forum a beer
To kernelsprite: i don't have an answer for you, but I'm fairly sure that the people who can help you will need some more info. Can you boot your phone? If not, can you get into recovery or download modes? What ROM did you have in place before you used ROM manager? Was it just stock?
Hopefully with this info someone more knowledgeable than me will be able to help.
Hey guys,
So I am running an ancient rom, GladiAtrix 3 rom with version 2.2.2 of Android. I finally want to flash a new rom, for example Olympus Gold Edition 2.3.6, with Blur so I can retain Webtop. However, it has been so long and all I read on these stickies when I'm trying to relearn are warnings for not hard bricking your Atrix and I am farily confident it doesn't apply to me because I am still not even on 2.3.4 and don't plan on going back to Android 1.8.3. But can someone just confirm for me really quick before I go about flashing if I need to worry about the hard bricking situation?
(All I gotta do is just backup, and follow the installation steps? Or should I factory reset, stock rom flash, THEN flash the new Olympus ROM?)
Thanks in advanced for stoppin by!
Regards,
If you're unlocked, just flash the ROM in recovery mode. Simple.
Edit: You might have to factory reset first, but only try that if the ROM doesn't work! Make a backup.

Factory resetting's on my list! Thanks for the reply! It's been so long since I played w my Atrix and I totally forgot all the old school methods of unlocking and I can't remember (been a year a half) whether or not I did... but I am reading now that it should say "unlocked" on the motorola bootup but mine doesnt show. Although, I am able to enter CWM for sure... so I have no idea whether or not I'm unlocked, everyone's answers are both yes and no so it's confusing me
Is it safe for me to just run the automated unlocker script http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 anyways, as well as being on 2.2.2? (This of course after factory resetting) Thanks so much in advanced!
EDIT: This is my last question sorryyy then I can start my new ROM flashing!!! woohoo
Being an old member who's obviously done this kind of thing before (even if forever ago), I'd think you would know already that questions go in the Q&A section.

Hi all
I apologize for my bad English. I own a Sprint Photon, of course, and I live outside the U.S.. I bought the Photon from ebay and who sold it has installed Electrify rom that you see in the screen attached. I would like to try other roms, but I'm totally noob with Android, it's my first Android, so I want to know how not to brick my phone. When the Photon starts, there is written at the top, unlocked.
There is the CWM backup and a recovery 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.5-4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0-19-release-keys-signed-USC-US.zip
Can anyone help me or give me a link?

With your phone unlocked, you should have no trouble installing the roms posted in the development sub forum. Essentially all you should have to do is place the zip of the rom in a folder on your site card and flash through CWM. However each rom has specific instructions, so read and reread carefully.
Each person has their own tase for roms and no one is going to tell you that there is one best rom, I'm using CM7 right now, after having CM10 installed for a while.
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
That actually looks like stock Android for the electrify. Are you sure you are running a custom rom? Are you sure you got a photon? Some people list items wrongly in ebay so you should check those two things before going flashing anything
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
That screenshot reeks of a US Cellular SBF that has been floating around but if it says unlocked you might be okay.
Install the CWM, do a nandroid then grab a known-working non-stock ROM from the dev forum. See what happens. As long as it stays unlocked you can fix it.
OK so i have been watching xda for a while now and have been through several phone and rooted all of them. i have made roms before but they have just been personal roms. this is the only phone that i haven't seen a rom for that i own so i thought i would take a crack at it. so far the rom boots up but that is it. i would like to start a team to make a rom for the tmobile lg optimus l9. i now this account that im on has noob status written all over it but im not a noob and im well aware what goes on so if you are in let me know. thnx

L9 is at the stage where Group effort is very important. The idea which one can conceive is not necessary other would conceive too. Different persons can solve problems like this (not all) faster than a single person, by sharing ideas and suggesting changes and helping each others in changes and experiments. Goodluck to all.
