Hi,
I'm an stock brazilian atrix(mb860) owner on version 2.3.6 Stock and Locked. I don't know much for this flashing things, but I really want to have this rom on my device.
But I'm really confused on the procedures... What do I need to do?
Remember that my device is completly stock(locked and no rooted).
Thanks guys.
Hello there fella, please check this thread if you haven't done, it might point you in the right direction
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600
I recommend you read it and learn how to do the procedures, as flashing may be an easy thing to do, but if you don't learn, you may end with an expensive brick in your desk.
After you've seen that thread, please don't hesitate to ask

I suppose the first question is, are you on mac, pc or linux.
But either way... here's the simplified answer.
Your first step is to unlock your boot loader.
It's not hard once you know how.
http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader
Follow the steps EVEN if your on gingerbread.
Then follow this one...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
There's some other ways to do this on mac too... but that stuff can certainly point you in the right direction....
I hadn't touched a motorola before, and I found it all easy. Bought it literally yesterday and had it all done last nite within an hour.

If i'd seen this post before I dug thru about 30+ posts last nite and the week before it would have saved me tons of time.
Mind you, I had the benefit of hacking HTC & Samsung in the past so I wasn't a complete noob in need of terminology descriptions. Either way, well done on the post jhonnyx.

Iinstalled a rom well thats what i think ..and my phone i know its unlocked because my brother has put them before everything works fine. It installed but when it get to where he has to turn on ..it just stays saying Samsung and thats it. It will stay there...please help i need my phone
Sounds like you need to odin back to stock. Search the forums for info. Threre are plenty of threads on odin.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Use Odin to get back to stock and post questions in q&a
Runninero
Odin back to JFD, re-root and your good to go for installing new ROMs
How do i use that please help me i cant use my phone i need it how do i get to make it work abd how does that programs works
Your going to need to do some reading, look for an odin guide in the tread below.

Like everyone says, the "SEARCH" feature is your friend. Start with looking up Odin and read up on it. From reading your comments, I'm sure it won't be the last time you will need it

Do a search for Odin or go into the Vibrant Bible and look in the first group of links. It's in there. Just follow the instructions. If you took the chance of flashing a ROM, you need to be able to do the research in order to fix problems that can arise. All the info you need is right at your fingertips, use it and happy flashing.
These type of posts just blow me away. 3 people were nice enough to provide information as to how fix your phone. Yet you ignore the offer for help. Tell you what. Send me your phone and I will fix it for you. In return, I will just keep it so you don't have the chance to brick it again and have to beg for help when the answers have been posted in the hundreds of other.....URGENT...HELP ME NOW I THINK I BRICKED MY PHONE threads and have also been posted in countless other places on the forum. Please, read the forums before you flash. I am all about helping, but when you blatantly ignore help that is offered, I feel little to no sympathy at all.
Oh man. LOL
I remember the first time I flashed a ROM. I read everything I could about it for 3 days first.
If people skip that important step, they kinda get what they deserve.
Lazy people suck!!!
Hint. The very first thread in this very forum has everything you need! READ READ READ READ
PS. READ

if you ever need help just PM me and i see if i can help out.. but yeah do the reading and you should be fine...pretty straight forward really..Those two links should help you out and it is always good to read like last ten pages of the thread and first ten or twenty... Do not forget to hit that thanks button if i helped out
Yep, pulling the USB will do a nice job of bricking you are very lucky to get a new phone!
As the kind soul above said, do plenty of reading! Never ever pull the USB, that is rule number one and its just about the only way we can truly brick our phones.
Also as I noticed, you want lite'ning ROM. Well that ROM is no longer supported and is running on the older 2.3.4. There is however a couple of nice chaps who are carrying on that legacy and its now running on 2.3.6.
Here is the link for that ROM!

Can anyone tell me the interest to unlock the bootloader?
Is it really useful? In which case do?
Because it is very risky to do.
And is there a post that gives a good explications ?
My phone is come from USA. It's a AT&T under the Gingerbread.

Unlocking the bootloader will allow you flash different Custom roms(beta of CM9(ICS) is already out) and kernels.Check the development section for roms and decide if u want to use custom roms or want to stay on the stock.
Precision !

Thank you for the information.
I have another question interested? What happens if I flash a ROM without having unlocked the bootloader?
In fact I did it!
And from the device tells me "failed boot 2!" It is because I have not unlocked the bootloader before? And what can I do now? I know it but i'm not sure!
If you want to help me, do not hesitate.
You cant install custom ROMs without unlockng bootloader
After unlocking you have to flash a custom recovery and your ready to install custom ROMs

Actually it was constructive. If you had read the guide per another poster's advice, you would not have then been back asking how to get out of trouble because you chose to ignore the given advice!
There is plenty of good help given and offered on XDA, but it's the people who ignore the help/advice, forge ahead blindly, then expect the forum members to fix their screw ups because now they suddenly choose to listen to the advice who really make it difficult to keep a positive attitude.
Nuff said!

So if we follow the reasoning.
Read the post. And if you're wrong, too bad for you.
it is a beautiful spirit.
I prefer to say "to err is human" but we are here to help. The best thing is to learn from mistakes (but I'm sure you've never made a mistake). And I must say thanks to those who helped me. I will not make the same mistake.
I can even help those who have made the same mistake without insulting them.
And the kind of comments like yours do not learn.
Now I think the discussion can't stop there! And as we say at home: "A bonne entendeur salut!"
Galadiel, I don't believe that is what happened here. The way this conversation unfolded, your messages started off asking a philosophical question "Why is it desired to unlock the bootloader?" and very quickly turned into "Help, I tried it but something went wrong." From your description, the specific problem you had is a well-documented issue that is described in the instructional link you were given to read, including how to fix it.
There are a lot of people trying to modify their phones. That's why the tutorials exist. Your posts sounded dismissive of the help offered to you, and not surprisingly, you got some annoyed responses in return.
----------
Okay then. Are you still having the "Failed to boot" screen appear after flashing the .sbf file with RSD Lite? Have you resolved your situation, or do you still need help?

I say again. Thank you everyone for your help. I read all your advice and went to read the posts that you advised. All this was very helpful.

Again: thank you all for your help. Thanks to you I understand why and how.

I am agreeing with reefermattness. If you are having this much trouble understanding the step by step guides you need to research everything you do not understand before you attempt to root your phone. Not trying to be harsh but that's what the internet is for. We aren't going to hold your hand and teach you every term and show you how it is done. That is what the guides and videos are for. Sadly if you cannot understand that you should not even attempt to root your phone. Please do your research first.

The poor guy hasn't specified what he's having trouble with. It's hard if we don't have an idea. I am more than willing to lend him my knowledge. Thank you for stepping in and helping Ryan out. I will have more patience in the future. Good luck Ryan.
Here is another noob yD..Well, I had Xperia x10, we had "Flashtool", "s1tool"..and that's it ..You could do whatever you want..I have feeling that this is "same", only other names..But..
I am really trying to understand methods, but whenever I read something more about s-off, I am more confused :/..
Here is what I am trying to understand..
I received official ICS (I have HBOOT 1.53.0007), and I was on HTCDEV site, where I did all steps..and I have ULBL..after that I installed recovery and SU..I want to do S-OFF and here problem begins..I don't know how, and I cannot find how..I mean, I can find, but not for this HBOOT version..Someone says that I should downgrade, someone says that I just have to do "wire trick"..
What is your suggestion..
Thanks!
Ryan the link that coal gave you is more than adequite, it is as straight forward as you can possible get, the only addition to that is s-off is required as you will need to flash a custom firmware package sooner or later, so the wire trick is required. Zink had a great tutorial on how to do it but it has since been deleted. Can I ask, why are you so adamant in rooting your phone? A piece of info as I am a evo gsm owner, all the rom's on the gsm development section suck, either they bootloop, crash or they have missing components.

The way you are asking is difficult to agree with.

If you don't want to mess up your device, just use it as it was intended. Don't unlock the bootloader, don't install custom recovery, don't install custom ROMs, don't install Magisk or other root solutions.

For now there is no know way to unbrick the device other then a Authorize account from mi. You need to have a Authorize account or need to visit service center. Best way to not brick your device by double checking everything your going to do.
The only way to answer the question the way it was asked is:
If you have a bootloop, you made something wrong before.
It doesn't make sense to list here now every single thing that could lead you to a bootloop or a bricked phone.
When you are in such a situation, open a thread, write all possible details what you have done before the bootloop/brick, and hope someone could help. ?
First and most important thing: be sure if you have curtana or joyeuse device and be sure that the thing you wanna put on your device IS for that model.
I think that's a good start, cause Xiaomi still messing up the names of their different devices ?
But as written before, if you wanna be safe, don't play around with your device with rooting, flashing custom firmwares etc. ?

Yes indeed you are not my servent. But neither are those who make roms for us. And about that Google search . I have seen a lot of confusion like flashing wrong rom or not formatting data etc caused a issue. So I just wanted to know what went wrong with specific instructions of what not to do.

Okay I understand now. I think I will have to wait until a proper unbrick tutorial is out.
I have bricked a joyeuse it does not enter through any bootloader. I brickie it by loading twrp. By EDL gives; Sahara Fail Error In QFIL / Miflash Authorized Account I have tried loading all kinds of ROMs... Obviously I still need to test the one that works Help please! Thanks!
You need authorised account ie. you need to pay someone with that account to do the edl flashing.
