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.

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)

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.

There is no way to relock the bootloader, and no way to get OTA updates after unlocking.
But you can bring the prime back to stock
Just go to the Asus site and download the latest ROM it is software # 10.4.2.18 then extract the zip file copy and paste the 10.4.2.18 zip file in your internal or external SD card boot into recovery wipe data factory reset then flash the zip file.
It will bring your prime back to stock, but it will still be unlocked.

Ok thnx for that. I was award of the fact you fanboy relock of. What about recovery? When I use stock Rom I should also need stock recovery I think.
Is that true? For desire and hox I used ruu to go back to stock rom.

The 10.4.2.18 blob file you flash from the asus site comes with the stock recovery. The prime will be totally stock after you flash it other than being still unlocked. It will be like it was when you first pulled it out of the box. its exactly like a RUU

@ASAPSEVEN
Are you sure about this? because what I have read is, once you unlocked the prime you shouldn't flash stock ROMs that is taken from ASUS website. Doing so totally bricks your Prime. It has mentioned here.
Or does it mean when we have unlocked and ALSO installed CWM, we shouldn't flash stock blob file?
I use twrp so I Dont know. I flashed Asus blob files and they worked fine for me no problem at all.

But still its very risky. Because stock rom contains recover and bootloader which may corrupt the unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.
So I prefer, custom cooked JB ROM out of stock roms.
I don't think the Prime will get anymore OTAs anyway since it didn't get the last OTA the 700/300 got. And the Asus announcement of android 4.2 update left out the Prime too.
It will be a hard choice. Would like stock instead of a custom one. Simply because it will sell more easy.
Thnx for all the info guys!
Will think it over tonight and take the change.

I have Blackbean 7.1 which is Android 4.2 so I needed twrp (like cwm more personally. use it on my hox as well).
Can I flash a blob file via twrp ?

I downloaded WW_epaduser_10_4_2_18UpdateLauncher.zip from http://www.asus.com/Tablet_Mobile/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/#support_Download_32
I unzipped it and copied the zip inside the zip (WW_epad-user-10.4.2.18.zip) to external SD.
Rebooted to twrp, wiped everything I could wipe (dalvik, cache, factory default) and started to install
After a small minute it shows me;
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.

E:Unable to mount '/staging'
Where am I going the wrong way?
I hope to sell it tomorrow but when I brick it, I can't....
Thnx again!

Here's the new OTA Stock ROM 2.06.605.1_710RD , rooted. Not deodexed, no radio, no firmware but stock ROM.. Anybody can use as base, just credit.
Must be unlocked, s-off with custom recovery. If s-on, boot.img must be pulled from Rom, and flashed in fastboot.
Flash from recovery. If having flashing issues, use CWM Recovery.

Thanks for this. Have you tried to use the updated boot.img with 2.04 rom? Just curious if it works or is compatible. Not sure if anything/much changed on the kernel side for the ota or not.

Thanks HAHA. I know its a rom just was not sure if the same would happen like the 204 update. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks! Was trying to apply the OTA manually and I was having file mismatches even though I used the "stock" 2.04 ROM. Hopefully this one is closer to actual "stock" if we get another OTA at some point.

File wouldn't transfer to my DNA until I named it something other than .zip, and WinRAR is saying the archive is corrupt even though it opens and I can view its contents. Anyone else have this problem? Almost afraid to try to flash this.

Also, I verified the checksum and my download matches what was uploaded.
One more thing.. a repair with WinRAR only recovered 1863 out of the 2085 files. Something is definitely not right.

yeah that was what I tried first, and it told me i wasnt rooted, I had successfully booted to recovery earlier.
something flaky must have happened. I am S-off so I am hoping maybe flash recovery again and then SU and hopefully back to rooted.
Edit ** Adb reboot recovery and i flashed su again now quickboot, root explorer, etc seem ok.
Weird
This ROM uses Superuser. If you use SuperSU like me, it could have caused a conflict. I removed it before flashing, but you can use RootExplorer to remove it, too, as long as your root is currently working.
This can be flashed over previous ota rooted correct? Gosh I hope this stops the constant Verizon update message.

I'm not really sure but seems there is no way unless if it's the original bootloader, plus this update is only for the mic so it won't fix back and home button. For me it's worthless.

Do you have a link for this?
OK, some background and disclaimers.
I searched as best as I could and read the FAQ and couldn't find anything that would help me--the relocker thread from 26 Nov 2012 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017525) looked useful but too dated. So no flames please!
I bought this phone off a Verizon store manager in early June, who didn't mention that he had rooted it (or failed to return it to bone stock via re-locking it). Recently, it's been losing bluetooth connection to my car, losing the SIM Card connection, and failing to accept the OTA update (which is a daily, obnoxious occurrence). I checked with a VZW employee today and my phone is still under warranty, so I plan to send it in for replacement due to the former two problems.
Problem 1: Transferring a phone between accounts voids the warranty. Solved, as I won't say anything, and am mysteriously still under warranty.
Problem 2: Unlocking/rooting a phone voids the warranty. However, if I can manage to re-lock the phone, then all should be good.
I'm obviously a casual user and have zero idea how to re-lock the phone or even check if it's still rooted. Yes, I am a newbie.
What should I do?
Whenever I try to run the OTA, I am booted into ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.1.
Other relevant stuff:
Android 4.1.1
Software: 2.06.605.1 710RD
Please let me know what else you need to know.
Thank you!
