Hey all, before I had a Motorola Defy, now I am with an Atrix 4g
My basic question is, what should not do to brick my phone? should I update it? Like I said, I came from a Defy, Defy has a locked bootloader so it is almost impossible to brick it, now I am a little scared with the Atrix hehe. Thanks !

you shoudn't flash an sbf file that is not the same as your current version. to update or not to update, that is entirely up to you. if yoh're satisfied with a gb os (2.3.x), don't upgrade. if you want ics (4.0 4) or jb (4.1.x-4.2.2), then update. just unlock the bootloader, root your phone, and enjoy

you could if you wanted, but most of the updated versions are available through the rom superthread thread in the development section. just be sure to pay attention to carrier specific roms if you chose to use one of them. and i did just see your post in another thread saying that you were on froyo. after seeing that, i would say yes, upgrade your phone to a better os. gb works great, ics and jb work well and will work better now that we have the new kernel, but expect bugs to be present, but they are still very usable roms

So, its mid July ...I'm sure the update for Gingerbread is coming ....but apparently ...mostly everyone has installed the leaked gingerbread...now I ask is it worth it to go back to stock to be able to download the new update if so how do I go back? What do I need to flash? This question has probably been answered but I couldnt find it...thanks.

Hello filmusikat,
I see that you're running gingerblur 4.5 on your atrix, so do i. You need to flash 4.1.8.3 official sbf and check for the gingerbread update regulary. I don't think the leaked gb roms are worth to spend time for now. They all have glitches which would effect daily usage.

Hi filmusikat!
The latest ROM has proven to be very stable:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169409
The instructions are included within the thread. Not addressing the unlocking part since your signature already tells you got it.
As for being worthy, I say it is. I was in Gingerblur too, and the performance difference is big.

no glitches affecting any daily usage on me for 4.5.91. 100% functional, and 100% better than froyo.
Remains to be seen which version of GB will be the official release. The leaked versions everyone is flashing may not be the most current which will be offered up.
NOTE SHE/HE NEVER MENTION GB 4.5, actually if she/he indeed installed ota gb update.zip, with you instructions she/he will have a HARD BRICK
So first thing to find out is what actually she/he has installed

I've got to say I'm very pleased... I have Gingerbread beta 4-5, hotspot enabled, webtop working perfectly via webtop-joe, Netflix - streamingly like it should. My Atrix feels like it should have come out of the box like this. I honestly don't think within the next year or two they will release another operating system better than GB and by then I'd probably be upgraded to the newest phone AT&T has...

For the nice lady:
"If you want to confirm your status, please adb, su, and "cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm" or just open the file in Root Explorer. If you see something like:
10000000000010001000300004000
Then you should NOT SBF anything from Motorola"
If you want to post your ReservedOdm to look and see if you will be fine to SBF 1.83 again
Probably you are safe if you actually installed Kenth by CDW or moto-fastboot (boot.img and system.img)
But if you actually run the update.zip or any update trought the normal android recovery screen and if you saw the following legend "updating AP20 bootloader" in that case you CAN NOT flash any SBF from Motorola
I hope it help

1. I recommend using a custom ROM, only because its faster and you get better performance.
2. Yes. If you are will to do it, I have an easy way how.
3. Most if not all ROMS are better than than stock.
4. Only if you downgrade software from 2.3 to 2.2 you will brick your phone. Correct me if I am wrong though on this one other xda members. I am willing to help, just let me know.

Thank you very much Voelker, and which rom would u recommend me? the fastest and stable rom?. Also how about the update, should i first unlock the bootloader then update to the oficial version of ginger? or should i unlock the bootloader then update to a custom rom without touching the oficial version ever?
cm7 is the best unless you want webtop or fingerprint scanner
if you want webtop or fingerprint scanner id say go for alien

Hello everyone i'm new to this forum and i would like to know what i should do with my atrix.
I bought it off of amazon.co.uk (i live in england) and i would like to know how to root it. (i run Gingerbread, by the way)I know you must be thinking oh what an idiot follow the tutorials, but i keep seeing AT&T everywhere so im wondering what's up with that, and why are some of the roms only compatible with AT&T. Oh, and i searched allready too.
Have you tried this? ... http://www.psouza4.com/Bionic/
At the top, it says "This method works on Motorola phones running Android OS 2.3.4 or earlier." There is no mention of AT&T.
Hope this helps
thanks! yeah i looked at that, but i still dont get the whole AT&T thing for ROM. As im in england i cant get AT&T but thanks anyway for that root method!
The AT&T thing is because there is an Atrix International and an Atrix 4G from AT&T. Its mostly same specs, barely 3g bands.

Hi I was thinking of buyinga atrix I just have a few questions if u can help me.
1.how well is the fingerprint recognition?
2.is there a official ginber bread or a custom working one with all features of the phone working.
3.is the internel memory different from provider to provider (I know the bloatware by providers use up a bit of the memory).
4.also is any features missing by any providers (I can remember tmobile sometimes would remove front facing cameras on certain devices).
5.I heard there is screen issues how true is this? Also are there any other issues.
Sorry for so many questions .
Thanks using htc sensation at the moment.
Hello,
Have done some searches and I just wanted to see if this is right as my Note was rooted with Gingerbread 2.3 and I stupidly upgraded with Kies to the official AT&T ICS software and lost my root. I have just a few questions.
Would the only way to get a rooted stock ICS rom on the phone (such as those available in the forum) be to downgrade to Gingerbread and root (which I have done before) then install one of the custom "stock" roms to have ICS but have root access? Or am I completely out of luck on rooting a stock ICS Note?
If so, could someone direct me to the thread with downgrading to gingerbread, as a search has not helped me to find instructions for doing so, and with all of the information on this site, I believe it has to be there and that I a just missing it?
Feel free to delete my post if I am completely lost and have posted erroneously in the wrong forum or anything to that effect.

Root with odin like you would on gb but on ICS. Just try the cm9 roms though, it will change your life
You do not need to downgrade to GB to root. What you need to do is boot the phone into download mode, and use Odin to flash a custom recovery (such as CWM). Once you have the custom recovery flashed, you can boot into recovery mode and flash the Superuser or Supersu zip file to give you root. Using this method is the most foolproof way.

Android 4.0.x was ICS. The newer version is 4.1.X called jelly beans. So you'd be basically downgrading if you went to ICS.
Rooting is done to allow you adminstrator priveliges in Linux, similar to being an administrator in Windows rather than a standard user. You don't need to be rooted, most of the thing can be done without rooting. However, as you continue to use your device, you will often find apps that require changes in the system, hence their requirement will be to be rooted. Trying out different ROMs, customising it so that your wife/gf doesn't recognise your device will P) require you to root your device. For most devices , its pretty simple to root. However, you will learn as you read through posts and threads, and watch videos. Welcome to the Android world!

Yes, 4.1 is Jellybean but ICS is a downgrade. It came before Jellybean so you're better off sticking with JB.
It's not a requirement to root your phone but it's great because it gives you complete control of the phone. More control than the phone companies want us to have.
But I would suggest that you don't concentrate on rooting just yet. I say this because you're new to Android and trying to learn too much too quickly can become really confusing.
Before you even think about being ready to root, use these forums and read up about rooting and you'll learn everything you need to know.

Yes that's Gingerbread.
The bit you're wrong about is the rooting bit. Rooting a device doesn't allow you to update to ICS when you couldn't before. If all you want to do is update to ICS then you don't need to root, you just need to look into flashing the device. When flashing it puts a whole different eom, kernel, theme etc onto the device.
You'll be better off looking that up through threads here on XDA or by watching videos on YouTube to show you how to do it. That's how I learnt to do it all.

That depends. If you root your phone, and YOU perform the upgrade, i.e. you flash a modded rom, 99.9% of the time the dev who created it will add the su(superuser) app into the rom so that you end up flashing the rom and re-rooting your phone in the process.
With that being said, if you happen to receive an OTA update randomly, telling you that android needs to update, and you decide that's what you want to run, flashing that one WILL take away your su privileges. That is due to the fact that these OTA's are pushed out by your phone manufacturer, and what you are trying to do (gain su access) isn't what the manufacturers wants you doing, per say, so THEY don't include the su app. Happy hacking. Number one tip I could give ya: don't b afraid to Google every question, or topic you're interested in. Make Google your best friend.

You have a lot of tutorials about upgrading to official (moto stuff) roms or about installing custom roms, when i bought my razr it came with gingerbread, one of the first things i do was upgrading to ICS and then i start using custom roms with safestrap, but that dependens on what you want/need from the phone. Also you have to check if your phone is CDMA or GSM, before installing a rom or at least ask if that have a patch.

Can you give me a link for GSM?

Just go for the European version ROM.
I used them in my wife's RAZR. We are also from Israel.
Follow the steps for the new European retail roms and every will be great.

I will try that but now I have another problem... I accidentally flashed ICS without having enough space on my phone and now it is stuck on boot logo and then turns off, and I need to know if there is a way of formatting it without turning it on?
Sorry for bad English too...
The European retail jellybean formats your whole phone, so you can flash it and have your phone back on normal.
