Ok guys,
I just upgraded to JB from ICS. I had Voodoo installed, but for some reason I could not restore root. I have unlocked my bootloader, and was going to flash a custom recovery, but then I started reading about backing up stuff with nvflash, but that doesn't seem to work with JB?
What steps do I need to take to flash a custom rom? I want to be able to nvflash back to a safe setup if something goes wrong.
Any help is appreciated!
Bump, guys please help. I just want to be able to backup all the necessary files using nvflash before I do anything. Is this possible?

Your snookered for now im afraid matey, you can only access NVFlash on the older bootloader and as you've upgraded to JB, you have flashed an unhackable bootloader.
As of now there isnt a way to downgrade and no one is sure thy will find a way to hack the newer bootloader.

Is it possible to reload the stock OS, but keep Root?
On xda-developers website they have the Easy Root tutorial that does just what your asking.
Im keeping mine stock with root as well, I love Sense so I see no reason to change.

You will be rooted and already be on the stock release. Thats what im on now.
Im not sure about the one click methods..
thanks for the reply guys... I rooted, and installed a ROM. I dig the ROM, but wanted to go back to stock ROM to do some tweaks (or attempt at least, lol) myself and see how I do.
If I am not mistaken a RUU will remove root, right? Just wondering if there is a
PG05IMG.zip that is stock, but won't remove root...

Did you make a backup after you gained root but before you installed the rom? If so just nand back to that and you will have stock root. If not I would suggest remove root and redoing it so you can make a backup, then go from there.

Isn't the RUU in that thread a downgrade? I understand that must be flashed to gain root?, my question is after root can I flash back to the latest RUU and keep root??
If not what is missing from the RUU in that thread vs. the latest RUU?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000448
it is stock and rooted and deodexed(for easy modding if you want in the future) comes in bloat free or bloat(and remove what you want)
flash it in clockwork recovery, this is what i use.
Cool...This i am going to try out. :-D Thanks!

It downgrades to get the phone rooted but when you put the final zip for it to update, it updates to the stock release with root. Im running the .06 version and did nothing but root it.
I have just rooted my phone. I wonder if I can unlock bootloader after rooting?
If I can, which way is the easiest way?
And also I want to know the benefits of unlocking Bootloader.
I want to add that I don't know so much about doing so complicated things, please know that while informing me.
I really appriciate your answers...
stock rom Gingerbread 2.3.4, rooted.

if you're on AT&T, you can use this script here that does it all for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
if you're on an international Atrix, you can use RSD Lite to flash the pudding .sbf file that can be found here, and then do the fastboot oem unlock command.
So, I can unlock BL after rooting? I got that.
Can someone tell me what it is, what happens If I unlock Bootloader? What are the benefits? Why do people do that?

rooting has nothing to do with it, rooting just gives your phone root access to system files.
unlocking the bootloader opens up our ability to flash custom ROMs onto our phones, as well as allowing us to put a custom recovery on our phone.
if you're satisfied with stock gingerbread, don't worry about it and just go on using your rooted phone.
if you wish to try out some awesome ROMs like CM7, then go ahead and unlock your bootloader. you're going to have to re-root afterwards, but that's super easy to do on our phone, and most ROMs come pre-rooted anyways.
"""if you wish to try out some awesome ROMs like CM7, then go ahead and unlock your bootloader. you're going to have to re-root afterwards, but that's super easy to do on our phone, and most ROMs come pre-rooted anyways."""
Yes I definitely want to try CM7 because Im sick of laggy Atrix. I read a lot about it but I learned that Fingerprint isnt working with CM7, so I decided to wait. But if they fix all of the bugs I will try that.
You said re-root is supereasy after unlocking BL. I have rooted my atrix with the topic of this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255548
Is there any different way? or the same way again?
You ve read my thoughts about the phone, what do you suggest to me to do?

yep, just re-root with that method and you'll be just fine.
i'd suggest for you to go ahead and unlock your bootloader, and install Romracer's CWM which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
after that, just choose a ROM from the dev forum. Aura is really polished, Alien looks cool. any of the one from seanzscreams is gonna be nice and speedy for you, they've all been converted to EXT4 so you'll get better performance.
i'd still personally suggest CM7, fingerprint scanner is working on internal builds from what i understand so it shouldn't be too long of a wait for it to be updated

Alcapone I really appriciate your help so far.
I definitely want to try CM7, not the other ROMs. But as I said, I'm not good at doing complicated things on PC (like writting commands that everybody mentioned for rooting or installing roms etc.).
Which way is the easiest way to install CM7? and here is the golden question, once I ve done that, How can I update it to the latest one?
I'm so noob about this things I know

sorry, I forgot to write it. AT&T Atrix and unlocked by the code from cellunlock.
by the way, does anything happen to my "unlocked" phone, when I do everything that we mention? like locking again.

once SIM unlocked, you're always SIM unlocked.
anyways, use the script i gave you in the first post to unlock your bootloader, just download it and open it up and follow the instructions.
after you're done unlocking, go to RomRacer's CWM that i linked you, and install it with fastboot.
after that, you can download any ROM you want in a flashable .zip file, and flash it with CWM.
You mean, I have to install RomRacer's CWM to install CM7?
And how can I update CM7 when they fix something like fingerprint sensor?

yes, you need CWM installed to install CM7. and to update to the newest version of CM7 you just flash the new update over your system with CM7, and it updates your system for you. easy as that.
Hey guys im running CleanRom ICS and my phone headjack dosen't work. I have to send it in to VZW and receive a new device.
Is there a tutorial or how can I completely revert to stock kernel, recovery, and stock GB?
I know there is an RUU for it but I am not sure if that will work.
If anyone could explain or if there is a tutorial to point me in the right direction for a novice, that would be great!
Thanks

The only way to do that from my understanding is RUU. That is what SBFing was to the droid. I do know that to RUU , you need to relock your phone. Did you back up the stock rom or the stock rooted rom ?
Either way, just go back to HTCDev and they explain how to relock your phone.
Download the RUU, after phone is locked I think you just have to plug in the phone to charge only and run the RUU exe. Must have HTC drivers installed obviously and possibly working adb , but since your rooted and running custom roms you probably are.
Once the RUU, is done you should be back to stock , unrooted !
so if i relock my phone it will automatically revert me back to GB?
No. But you need to relock it in order to run the RUU which will get you back to stock.

as far as i know, before locking the bootloader,
you might want to flash back to gb rom i think.

yeah...You need to be back to a GB kernel for sure. I thought the RUU is basically a ROM but not really sure how that works.

Hey all, I was looking to find a guide about how to root now that we have ics. I was rooted but unrooted to get the OTA. I have s on and a relocked bootloader. I assume I just unlock the bootloader again and I flash some sort of recovery then install superuser, but I would like to see a guide to make sure I am doing things right. Thanks!

yep we need an easy way of installing it so custom roms can start to rollout faster! i dont know if the locked instructions are going to work, they could cause a brick.

Clarification?
Could someone please clarify the order of operation to perform an update to JB on a rooted, unlocked TF201? Should I do the NVRAM backup procedure first? Should I replace clockwork with the latest TWRP?
Thanks, trying to keep score here at home and just don't want to get things out of order or screw myself in the process.
