[Q] How to go back from CM7 to Motorola Original ROM of Atrix?

I have a Motorola Atrix from Orange UK. I unlocked the SIM to use it in India, Unlocked the BootLoader and flashed CM7. Now I want to go back to original Motorola ROM. Is it possible, if yes, HOW? Kindly post other links of this procedure if anybody knows about some way to do it.

Look in the stickies section of Atrix development forum. And find the sbf for unlocked bootloader. Or if u just want the blur UI try the Aura Rom. It has a lot of mods but the theme is basically stock.

You will never get brick by flashing/restoring through recovery.

hey, I think i have the same problem, i have an atrix with cyanogenmod-7-12112011-nightly-olympus, Android version 2.3.7
And i would like to know if its posible to get the original settings if I back up another atrix from the same carrier (telcel - MExico), so i can get rid of the cyanogen and i can have it with factory settings.
If its posible, can anyone help me and tell me how to do it?
thank you very much

You can only install joker skinny using bootstrap, otherwise your just SOL unless someone figures it out.

I have unlocked my 2.3.5 bootloader. It only works from a specific situation so far though.
-I have NEVER done an sbf
-My Electrify was shipped with 2.3.5, not updated from 2.3.4 via OTA
If you fit both of these qualifications go to teamuscellular .com, electrify development forum and the thread titled 2.3.5 locked bootloader work around/fastboot and follow the guide in post #72. (sorry, can't post links yet)
I would encourage reading the entire thread, its a bit confusing but worth it.

2.3.5 custom recovery flashing?

Is it possible to flash a custom recovery with the locked bootloader? I'm used to HTC and am not to familiar with Motorola's Android
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
I have already successfully rooted, and attempted to flash CWM recovery from Rom Manager, but I am unable to get to recovery. I tried to unlock the bootloader with RDS Lite flashing derpunlock from the puddin forum, not the 2.3.5, but it failed

Need to use the boot strap recovery, MOTODX_Bootstrap_Signed.apk. Its based off Clockwork. Make sure you only try to flash locked roms though. If you try and flash anything not supported your more than likely going to be on my boat... Softbricked. I was a flashaholic with my Evo, now im a bricked bum looking for light...
Look in Lokifish Mars Sticky on all thing Mopho. It has links to everything you will need in it.
No you cannot flash a custom recovery on a locked bootloader.

I'm in the same boat. I just got a used Photon and it already had the 2.3.5 (45.4.13 254_13) ROM on it. I got it rooted successfully at least, but get the error when trying to install the DERPUNLOCK.SFB file.
Any solutions out there yet? Can the unit be SBF-ed back to 198_7 and then the bootloader unlocked?
(I'm sorry if this is a redundant question, but I haven't found a clear answer and have searched the forums extensively!)
THANKS!

Okay, I successfully flashed bootstrap recovery, what ROMS do I need to look out for and not flash?

Your only real option is mof2.3.5 unless you want to run a rom that is not supported anymore ie imperium, rocko, skinny. Mofs rom is damn good though. Give it a shot and see what you think.
If your on 2.3.4 go with mofo2.3.5ish if your on 2.3.5, don't flash any roms locked or unlocked. Just be happy your phone works!
The reason being is because will the roms are based on 2.3.4 and since 2.3.5 locked bootloader, anything 2.3.4 based will cause you to soft brick, with no sprint sbf to fall back on. Peetr and mo are actively working on a working sbf for those who are on USC electrify sbf.

I'm on 2.3.5, and i really don't care about breaking 4G or anything CDMA... Only need GSM if that's possible...

Signed boot.img with its modules is needed to install after each locked rom.
Don't want to sound like a n00b, but where would those be in the ROM threads? I'm so used to HTC's phones, so going to this Photon makes me feel like I'm starting from scratch...
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Actually nowhere yet. You need to wait.
Ohh okay. I'll just sit back and wait for the devs. Really wish I hadn't traded my Evo LTE for this Photon....

can't unlock bootloader running 2.3.5, which prevents you from flashing any "unlocked" rom.. ie jb,ics, or any other rom not based on 235
