[Q] Radio Flash - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi...
I buy unlocked Motorola Atrix 4G in USA and I try with AT&T and T-Mobile it's works fine on both..(No 3G in T-Mobile)
Now if I have to use that phone in India do I have to Flash Radio on it.
Right Now i did root this device but i am not able to unlock bootloader....?
Looks like they have bootloader unlocked but when i try to flash CWM recovery on it..... it fails...?
So i don't know how to unlock bootloader (I try my best to do that)
So my question is...Without any custom recovery how can i flash radio
and which radio I should flash for India...?

Either you're doing something wrong, or you have one of those non-unlockable bootloaders, in which case tough luck, sorry.
I don't think there is any special "indian" radio that you need to flash, should work with the one you have just fine.

I hope it work in India....
As specially 3G... I know call will work... But I am not sure for 3G...

Is there coming in written the word "unlocked " when you start the mobile . If yes then unlocked otherwise not. Search xda and Google there may be problem in cmd prompt command writing.

And without custom recovery I think it's not possible to flash radio or it's hard.

[Q] Revert back to stock rom

Hi All,
I have read lots of posts and am confused so sorry if already answered.
I have a uk orange atrix rooted and have unlocked bootloader running Aura 1.2.2.2. I wish to flash the uk stock rom from the firmwares superthread, is it safe for me to use rsdlite to flash rom.
Many thanks
Just flash a fruitcake
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I was waiting for one but their is not a uk one yet. i thought that if it was ok to flash an sbf using rsdlight with an unlocked bootloader then i would create a fruitcake of it for others to use.
I did it flashed back to stock with rds after unlock bl and all worked fine but I cant flash with fastboot now as I think bootlader relocked.

I was just reading on this, I know this is safer, but would you recommend? I'm trying not to get caught up in AT&T lol

[Q]can i update a locked x10i?

a friend just bought a x10i... but the carrier has not released the update to gingerbread, and doesn't seem to know if the update will come at all... so... Can I flash the phone without any problem? iven if it is locked?
Yes u can use flashtool. Flash global generic 2.3.3 and ur good to go. The state of sim/bootloader (whatever it is that u refer to as locked I not sure) is not a problem it'll work fine.

Poll: Unlocked or Locked bootloader?

Hi guys!
Just want to know how many of us have a locked bootloader.
For the ones who do, good luck
My bootloader is unlocked but unfortunately I am stuck here because my phone is on the OTA (wierd I know) and I can't really do anything with the unlocked bootloader. So, here I sit with an unlocked phone and no 4G and nothing I can do except TRY to relock it and possibly brick it.........
Does the official Motorola bootlock removal tool work on the photon, and does it now allow 4G on custom roms? http://m.lifehacker.com/5935837/mot...-bootloader-unlocking-tool-for-android-phones

the official motorola site says that only the Photon Q will be supported at first, then more devices to follow. No one knows if this will be retro-active towards existing devices. I would assume that if this does get implimented on our Photon 4g, then wimax will not be borked like it is now.

I tried it just for fun. The Photon rejected "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" stating 'unknown.'
To answer the OP's question...
Bootloader = UNLOCKED
Current Rom = CM10 based AOKP Build 8

I jump back and forth between locked and unlocked on my photon. Currently my photon is locked running mof_2.3.5ish. Waiting on someone to figure out how to root my photon q.

I unlock-relock constantly. Just this morning I was locked, then I unlocked to try something, then relocked 2 hours later. Once you unlock, if you go back to locked, it's easier to unlock again than it was to start with because you don't have to do the fastboot commands with the unlock code. Just run the derpunlock.sbf again and push your recovery of choice and you're done.

latest OTA deceived me :crying:
Sprint and Motorola are pushing Photon 4G out of USA and selling it to Countries like India through ebay just because they are introducing LTE! in US.
I do not understand why they want to lock those phones (selling for about US$600 in India)?
MOTO and Sprint should think about it. If you dont want it anymore and don't support it outside US why locking it and making the life of poor souls miserable?
They should release a 2.3.5 sbf to help those people outside US stuck with Failed to boot 2 / Electrify 2.3.5.
Was locked by accident but traded for unlocked Electrify
You 2.3.5 chaps may be in luck

Root + locked bootloader = ???

I've got a DNA that I just bought today from someone. Its rooted already with a locked bootloader (that was once unlocked). It has custom recovery installed. Any rom I try to install won't boot and I have to boot into recovery and restore it. It has a functional rom on it now, but the wifi on whatever particular rom it is won't work. I'm not sure what firmware it is its UKB 1.3.0 and PRI version 2.44_002. Not sure if any of that is pertinent information, but I'm just looking to get on a Sense 5 rom with functional wifi. Or at least stock as a whole. It IS trying to accept an OTA update at the moment as well, but I deferred it until the 7th. Thanks for any help anyone can lend.

Ask the dude to email the unlock key so you can unlock it and have fun.
Or just go to htcdev and go through the unlock process.

Doesn't he need the unlock key that is emailed? Last I did this was Nov so I'm a little foggy on the steps.
I thought HTC and Verizon are responsible for the bootloader getting locked again

Since it was unlocked before it has supercid, which means you can just go through the htcdev process again.

It doesn't matter who caused it, the bottom line is that if youve never unlocked and are running 2.04 then the unlock exploit won't work.

Hey guys, I went through the process and it says error code 160: MID not allowed. What does this mean?

When you did it, did you choose other device instead of DNA? You need to use the other devices option.

I did do other devices cause there was no option for a DNA

Boot loader and ATT updates

Hello fellow One owners
So since were all frolicking in the blissfulness of unlocked boot loaders, could a accepting an update from ATT ever relock our boot loaders? I would like to know for future reference. Does it even matter since we have our unlock bin already? Thanks!

Side question: what is the official download page for adfree? Can't seem to find the legit one and I'm afraid of downloading it from some rogue website
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
For anyone else curious, here is adfree. Its legit, just look at the permissions when you install it. Click the green download button at the bottom, not the ones up top

the unlock bin is tied to the device ID of the phone software won't change that. Once you're unlocked you have to relock to accept an OTA anyway else it will fail.

But if you unlock your bootloader and root then won't need to relock to update. You can just wait till someone post the OTA here or the full rom to flash to your device
