Will it work? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, my atrix is running a Faux 1.3ghz kernel, CM10 v2.0 by jokersax. I want to get back to stock as possible. My backup of my original is no longer with us. Can I install fruitcake 2.3.6 with webtop with this kernel or do I need to flash a different one? If so, which one. I can use CWM well, but just don't want to brick my only phone before I upgrade in Oct.

You could just use the Motorola software to flash the whole thing back to stock.

No. Don't. Use fruit cakes by Sam Cripp. They are your friend...

You should think twice before you give out advice like that. Flashing through official methods is a sure way to brick your phone.

well, If I wanna to go back to stock i have stock SBF file, but I've got INTL Atrix so I won't get brick

I am considering making a youtube video of restoring my Atrix to stock using rsd because a lot of people think this is like crawling over a live landmine. It is totally *safe if you know what you're doing.

Simple. Just flash the 2.3.6 fruitcake and webtop as you suggested, then flash a Faux 1.3GHz GB kernel. Make sure to do a full wipe via fastboot first.
Don't flash SBF's. That should be considered a last resort!

[Q] Can't flash a custom kernel on AT&T Atrix

I've tried again and again, following multiple sets of directions, but for some reason, whenever I try to flash faux's OC UV GB Kernel for my AT&T Atrix, the phone won't boot or get past the boot screen. I have no idea why this could be happening and have tried whatever I could think of to fix the problem but no luck so far.
I've tried to flash previous versions as well as the latest version of faux's kernel using Romracer's latest CWM, but it hasn't worked. I keep having to flash back to the stock AT&T kernel to get the phone to boot up. I've tried this on the HomeBase Rom, DARKSIDE Rom and on the Alien Rom. The ROMs work fine with the stock kernel though.
I also tried flashing CM7 and faux's CM7 but that didn't work either.
Anyone think of why this could be happening and have any suggestions that I could try to get this working?
Thanks in advance for the help.

When I have flashed a rom like DARKSIDE, which has the kernel built-in, the phone won't boot and I have the same issue, even though it has the correct kernel, unless I flash back to stock at&t kernel.
He has a GB version and a CM version out. Are you sure you're using the correct version for your rom?

Sorry it took a while for me to get back to you, thanks for your suggestion, I did try this but still no results. I reflashed pudding and put recovery back and then tried flashing the kernel again but it still gives me the same result. Anyone have any other ideas i could try?
I also tried doing a full wipe after flashing the kernel as well, that didn't work either.
sorry man, i can't think of anything that might be causing that problem. you should send Faux123 a tweet and ask him about it, if he has spare time he might be able to help you out

searching dev forum returned this list of firmwares http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944. Find your country/carrier and go for it.
As an alternative, I have used Aura (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186990) and was better than stock for me and includes webtop.

You said your atrix is unlocked (or are you on Atrix2 since you mention Supercharged A2?), then root, install romracer's cwm for atrix and use cwm to reset, clear data and cache, then flash a rom of your choice.
All available in the dev section.

If not then you can either flash like normal or restore a backup.

[Q] FastBoot Files

When I first bought my phone, it had Gingerbread on it, then I got an OTA update to ICS from Moto, and after that I rooted my phone and installed custom ROMs, does that mean my kernel also changed with the OS or am I still running the Moto ICS Kernel?
Can one update the kernel only by Manufacturer OTA? If not, then why is there so much emphasis on going back to stock ICS before trying the leaked OTA of JB or trying any ROM built for JB kernel? if i directly install the leaked JB OTA wont i update my Kernel also?
Does anyone have a link where I can get Fastboot files of MotoBlur ICS Asia Retail?

Yes your Kernel also has changed when you moved to ICS. If you have not messed around with your stock Kernel you can directly update to JB , I have done it.
But you better keep your fastboot files and RSD lite ready just in case u brick .

[Q] Question about going back to Stock (ROM?), currently on CM7.

I have CM7 currently running on my X2 and would like to go back to the stock ROM. I already searched the forums, "HowTo: Perform a SBF ("factory restore") of your Motorola Droid X2" was the closest topic I could find, but this unroots and locks the bootloader if I understand correctly. I would like to just know if there is a way to go back to stock without locking the bootloader and unrooting. Also, if I wanted to switch to another ROM right now instead of stock, how would I do that since I'm on CM7? I'm sorry for all the questions, I'm not that confident in what I'm doing, I've only rooted once and locked once and somehow managed to get CM7 on my phone.
So my questions are: How do I go back to stock ROM without unrooting or locking the bootloader?
How do I change the ROM to another custom ROM?
So confused. Your answers are appreciated!

first , our bootloader has always been locked. i doubt this will ever change.
second, in order to install another ROM, just make sure it is for 2.3.4, and follow the instructions on the thread.
to get back to stock, find the EZsbf iso image, burn it onto a disk, and save yourself some time trying to learn how to use RSDlite. with the disk, sbf-ing is pretty straight forward, with step by step on-screen instructions.

So the process of changing a ROM is SBFing back to stock (unrooting), rerooting, and then flashing the ROM? There's no way to jump from custom ROM to custom ROM? To change, you have to SBF to factory restore every time? This seems like a lot more work than it has to be. Isn;t there an easier way?
One last question, to SBF back to factory, do you have to get a .zip for the stock apps like I did for CM7?
install cm7 bsr, use it the same way as the normal dx2 bsr
install rom in dx2 system recovery (bsr)
you dont need to sbf, unless you are planning on flashing eclipse 2.3
then use 2.3.5 sbf

Wait, which question were you answering? I'm confused. I wanted to know how to get back to stock ROM, SBFing I'm assuming.
How can I jump from custom ROM to custom ROM. Wait, is that what you were answering? So I dont have to SBF if I have CM7 and I want another custom ROM? Just install from bootstrap recovery? Also, are all ROMS compatible with all phones? Because, I wa looking to get PARANOIDANDROID on my X2 because it looks cool, or is there limits?

like [HOW-TO-[VIDEOS] for Droid X2
This phone is complicated. The bootloader is not unlocked. Even though we have root and custom ROMs, the bootloader remains locked. This is why a lot of the ROMs that are based on CM9 or CM10 will have a good amount of bugs. Most still function good enough for a daily driver though. Even though we have CM9 and CM10 which is Android 4.0+, the kernel is still 2.3.4. This is the main reason anything based on 4.0 and above have issues. I hope that cleared some stuff up about the bootloader.
Next, like others have said, you can flash from ROM to ROM like any other phone as long as you are on Android 2.3.4. The only exception is Eclipse, which requires you to be on 2.3.5. But also, CM10 has a bug in the recovery where it prevents you from flashing a ROM over it. So if you decide to use CM10, you wont be able to flash back to CM9, CM7, PA, etc. or even flash an update to CM10 if or when it comes. Your best bet in this case is to backup a CM7 or CM9 or PA or whatever ROM other than CM10 so that you can go back from CM10 without doing an SBF. And again, like others have said, every time you SBF, you lose root. But its easy to quickly root it again.
I tried to explain this the best I could. Like I said, this phone is complicated. The devs have done the best they coud at keeping the DX2 up to date though.
