Will you adb shell into the device when you get a chance?
I think you would need to look in the /cache directory for the update.zip & then could you adb pull it then upload it for me.
Thanks,

Eugene could u post steps on how to do this I ain't to good with with this and only got rooted cause I followed ur steps excatly. Also how do I remove the update icon from my status on the top left it will not give me an the option to clear notifications
First things First..
What OS win / mac / linux are you using?
I assume you have Root, so You already have adb installed...
in terminal
adb shell
cd /cache
ls -l
From here you need to poke around & look for the update.zip
Once you find the update.zip, you would run the following
( If still in adb shell & using windows )
exit
adb pull /cache/update.zip c:\update.zip
This will place the update.zip in the root of c:\ if using windows.
If in the States I'm more than willing to call you to help walk you through it..
Any luck? Dying to get ahold of an official update.zip
Once you get it pulled, we will Move onto removing the notification regarding the update.
Thanks,
~Eugene
I believe you can pull it from astro too if you navigate to /cache, I may be wrong. If you do manage to get the update.zip for the update upload it and I can add root to it quickly.

I think he forgot about us - damn girlfriends!
grrr... oh well! he won't be the only one. I'm sure some more competent people will be getting updates soon enough.
from what i've seen, tmobile workers get first updates so they can try out new stuff before rolling out the updates to the rest of us.. chances are that it was only as stated earlier a radio update or something insignificant to us
I have not forgotten I have been busy and eugene never called me,but he has been busy with good stuff. I have time now going to get some feeders from the petstore for my monsters then jumpen on the netbook and follow the instructions posted below

I'm kinda frustrating bumping topics just to generate interest from fellow Bell users.
A lot of the stuff posted isn't compatible and could possibly save someone from bricking their phones...

I think there just isn't enough demand. I technically have both devices now and I'd just says to ask the devs for help anytime a new tool or script is released.
We have enough technical guys with Bell Atrix's that most projects port over quite well now. And if there's something for the AT&T Atrix that isn't available for the Bell, I'll be sure to work with the devs and offer my expertise. After I fix this AT&T Atrix it'll be sold and the Bell one will be my primary device.

Bell does not have the download speed cap which despite me living in Canada is why I got the Bell version instead of the at&t.
The main mods that I have seen are:
Root via gladroot
Freeze bell bloat (there is a link in the at&t freezing thread to a site that has the bell "safe list")
Deodex the bell file system
Install theme (I think there is only one so far)
We now have an sbf that we can Probably flash to in case of soft bricks but I'm waiting for a bit more confirmation and feedback.

It. IS NOT a Bell SBF, it is an Australian release that seems to work on bell phones. This is all very new so I'm just patiently keeping up with the development threads. The general consensus is to wait until the new sbf is rooted so you can baçk up the current bell version via Titanium and CWM then flash it, root, and then be able to restore the bell version if needed. We can't do this until the Aussie sbf is rooted. But it does seem, at least, to give us an option.
Hope that helps.

We already have a gingerbread theme, check the development threads. You need to deodex first, but there is no reliable way to return to the bell sbf ...yet, so you might want to wait to play it safe ... or not

You did not mention that the nandroid backup of Stock is not safe at all as you don't really know that flashing 1.4.2 modem and keeping the stock rom itself is OTA safe. A lot of people really think a Nandroid backup is a full backup but its not.. As per NFHimself: Nandroid is like backing up your "Program Files" but not all of your windows installation. Therefore once you mod, thats it.
Another thing you failed to mention is that with 1.4.2 you get GingerBlur or GreyBlur to work on your phone. and that.... is one sweet phone.
Also, 1.4.2 offers significant performance increase, I have personally noticed much better battery life and with GingerBlur/Greyblur you get SD card performance increase even further..
1.4.2 can also be applied to a big list of international models, so people from Korea, Brazil, Argentina..etc can have access to the US ATT work.
Since staying on stock and modding things is literally just as unsafe as flashing 1.4.2.. I sir, advocate people flashing and enjoying 1.4.2 to the fullest.

And it looks like we may not need a separate section after all, or perhaps an "everything but at&t" section?

Not trying to troll, but why is it that the Motorola Droid 2 forum has a "Regular section" and a "Droid 2 Global section"?
IMO having a "Bell section" would be just as helpful...
Isn't there anything that can be done about this?...

I flashed a tmo rom, and didnt know that the dev left the modem.bin in the rom. Is there a way to get phone back working with att, cuz right now it says that i need a sim in order to use the phone.
There should be a modem somewhere you can request it from your fellow AT&T users. Just flash the zip or tar file then that should fix it
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This is exactly why im hesitant to flash anything not for my specific carrier.
Yea i was testing to see if i cld. Did a nandroid and everything but installing that tmo rom overwrote my modem.bin file. So im waiting on someone to pull the modem.bin off of thier att device so i can get it back.
I would be hesitant to flash anything at this point. Lots of things are unstable, and it's not worth ruining a superb phone.

cld u do me a favor and run this real quick. it will pull ur modem.bin file i need. (if you're rooted)
In terminal emulator (or adb shell in cmd window)
su
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096
Pulls modem.bin
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/amss.bin bs=4096
Pulls amss.bin (if that doesn't work its 0p12 but I'm pretty sure it's 13)
They'll be dumped to your sdcard.

Yes because xda hasn't had others brick their phones before installing roms they know little about, nor took the time to ask the simple question in the thread before flashing. For those people we should squash the idea of an improved and broader development group between multiple carriers.
Sorry if this seems aimed more at you, but in general I'm getting frustrated with this response. Developers should not have to worry about experimental test people run on their phones and should not be limited to a specific carrier just because the modem is different as far as development goes. If people don't understand what they are doing with their expensive devices they should not be flashing or messing with them at all and stick with stock or what they really feel comfortable doing AFTER an appropriate amount of reading and asking questions.
Theoretically, all of our roms will be interchangeable. Minus the radio. Your problem seems repairable. I can look at it tomorrow if you want.

I think that was the point in my comment. Being one of those developers you speak of
Its only going to be confusing though in the beginning until we figure out what to put in and leave out. I would imagine that eventually roms will be 1 size fits all. Just give it time.
I don't know if this will work, but it's worth a try, and I'd really like to know what this feature really does.

Try installing official GB(if you have the u8800pro) and then any custom ROM you want(looks like you have the pro and used the -51 method). And for Christ's sake please post questions to Q&A forum -.-'

So, the phone is fixed (kinda). I used the official gingerbread and that unlocked it. It's still got an AT&T logo when it boots, and it's definitely a U8800 pro. But, it works fine with cm7.2, so it's all good.
And the date went extremely well, so thanks for that.
