I have an Atrix, successfully rooted via GingerBreak.
Build OLYLA_U4_0.43.0
Blur_Version.0.43.3.MB860.AmericaMovil.en.MX
OSHWT_UI_6.18.0
Since the beginning it has sideloading, wifi tether, and a newe version of Webtop at least... I'm not sure if it is SIM locked (veery likely). It has Telcel bloatware... really hideous stuff.
(Got the multimedia dock by default, and the lapdock as a freebie from Moto , for renewing the same plan I already had before on a Cliq. Yes I use that many minutes)
I like to enable the webtop without dock hack... BUT it is a different build than A&Ts. It is safe to just replace (after backup) the necessary APKs?
If the releases are useful for you guys, I'll be glad to help you getting them, if you help me with the propper commands to extract SBFs, etc. Of if just an IMG from the partitions are useful, let me know.
Hola paisano,
If you already backed up your rom with Tenfar's nandroid you should have no problems.
I would have tried myself, but I have an at&t Atrix unlocked to Telcel.
I suggest you to use root explorer and just rename and replace the appropriate files.
Cheers,
Rayan

saludos LOL
well first you can ROOT??? i guess you can using gingerbreak, you need be carefull since there is no SBF for Atrix from telcel, not sure if telsra will work tho.
anyways if you can root you MUST install Tenfar recovery and
abd pull all your /system
in case something goes wrong. mm will be nice of you can make a DUMP from the system, i guess bootloader policy will be the same, but why dont try check if its signed??? i dont remember exactly the command but something like
fastboot secure key or something like that i will check later.
why you think you have the latest webtop??? version??? or what
to be honest seems pretty interesting having a dump for mexico atrix. i hope you can do it ;D good luck.
ps. after a backup of the /system and installl recovery make a nan backup. the worst could happen its you brick the device... you need push the files again if that not working maybe using telsta sbf to restore... root again and then nand restore.

I'd rather answer you here (not PM) so more people can benefit from the conversation (tenemos que usar inglés por ser un portal internacional).
Did you noticed that both your APNs got wiped (Internet and MMS)?
Did you recreated them?
You can find the APN configuration instructions on Telcel's website (you can use any Android phone as example).
Once you take care of the APN configuration, you should be fine.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Telcel Gingerblur went wrong.
hey guys, I rooted my Telcel's atrix two weeks ago, and I decided to gingerblur it, but I had several issues:
Lock screen doesn't work, if you click volume buttons or power button, it send you inmediatly to home screen, even if you configured it.
home button doesn't work, you can't pass from one app to another but only to return home screen with the back button.
Airplane mode was erased, GPS didn't work at all.
at least after 6 hours working telcel sent me the GPRS configs.
I tried At&T frlash rom but it became worse, GPRS conection didn't work and GPS couldn't turned on.
Right now i'm trying to recover some funcionality with the Build OLYEM U4 International Rom.
Does anybody of you has a Tenfar system image? If so please post it.

Did you wiped before installing the rom?
Go back to restore and do several cache and dalvik cache wipes and then try to boot again and test.
Don't repartition your cards with Tenfar's recovery.

Hola Compitas,
Hey Rayan remember me? epuk in esato forums?
I've already have an Atrix, i flashed French OLYEM_U4_2.1.1 last week that is the most recent SBF around.
Works well but data transfers in Mexico are just normal 3G, not HSDPA+ related. I didn't dump my software 'cause normally Telcel don't use the latetst software.
ATT&T SBF's aren't posible to use in Mexico, when i had my Motorola Backflip i had the same issue, so we have to attach to international releases.
Regards
Another APN Config for TELCEL:

I just wondering if you need warranty hours you will come to stock?i hope you did a backup with recovery.

i have a Telcel Atrix but since i install gingerblur 3.5, the system version change from Version 4.1.57 MB860 America Movil. es. mx to Version 4.1.57 MB860.ATT.en.US, the last night i tried to get the actualization, but when the download was complete, on the display appear the message "Verification error download and try again", suggestions??
Ok,
Let's try to clarify the thing about android devices and Carrier Constrains.
AT&T Devices are very tight in security about letting the user do what they want with the device. Fortunately exist root exploits methods to gain root access and bypass those restrictions. The most serious thing comes with bootloader. Bootloader have Certificate Keys according each market. For AT&T those CERTs are unique. For the rest of the world we have some sort of International CERTs valid for LATAM and Europe. Now Ginger Blur is a Pseudo ROM, it doesn't change anything of your bootloader. Just messes up with your android framework and tries to optimize several things that came cut over on AT&T roms. For me there is no gain installing those pseudo roms on my device, just the theming. In fact i think TELCEL rom is one of the most advanced following the French OLYEM ROM 2.1.1.
We're not going to get the 1.8.3 update never. That update is meant for AT&T devices.

Ok I'm not sure since I don't have a telcel atrix, but you can't install any firmware of at&t, if you are brave you can try flash at&t sbf.and see what happen, anyways if you are using ginger blur you CAN'T update, even using at&t version.so the only way you can get at&t firmware its try flash your device with sbf, always have a backup with recovery, because you will brick your device if something its wrong, and you will need recovery, in the best scenario you can flash at&t or telstra sbf successfully and you can root again and restore backup.
You shouldn't mess with your atrix if you don't have sbf, and more if its for at&t version, since could break things like bell users.
And we know how ****ty its telcel, and warranty and so on...good luck I wish you the best.
And if you have any sbf working do you mind report back? Thanks

Hi again!
Are you saying that Telcel's Atrix is not bootloader signed?
Saludos,
Rayanmx
Sent from my Atrix using Tapatalk
Rayan,
It's signed but with diferent Certifictaes from ATT. In fact if you try to flash an ATT sbf over Telcel Atrix you'll get an Error in RSD Lite. I guess this CERTS are the same that Telestra and European Atrix models.
The bootloader is locked by request of the carriers and according to Motorola only the Xoom bootloader will be unlocked only to developers. Developers are hoping to find that this bootloader can give an idea to unlock Mobile bootloaders like the one in Atrix.

Interesting!
I'm hopeful but honestly I doubt that would be possible (to decrypt/unlock) being Motorola the best company in encryption. As far as I know theres no single case reported but here's hoping...
But chances are that they find a workaround as 2nd init or something like that.

I have been reading and thought i would see what others have done with the rogers version of the play.
If you have unlocked and rooted please share what steps you did.
I have one that was originally locked and branded from Rogers. First, I purchased a unique network unlock code specific for the IMEI on my PLAY, from Theunlock.ca. Then completely de-branded it by flashing it with a R800i generic UK firmware using FlashTool from one of the many useful tutorials on here. And used GingerBreak to sucessfully root it. Let me know if you want the links and I'll post them up for you.
That would be great if you could post the links, have you noticed any issues since unlocking and rooting?
What version you on?
i'm at 2.3.2
Thanks for the reply
I'm on v2.3.2 as well and no issues at all since I unlocked/de-branded/rooted it. I'll post the links tomorrow cause I'm out for the night.
FYI, once you de-brand it, you gotta manually put in the Rogers APN settings to get back on the network. But I'll post all that with the links tomorrow.

About the same, but if gaming for maybe a total of 2 hours a day, only a day.
Thanks again, I'm running win 7 64 bit. what are you running?
I can see me having issue's, I'm waiting for my unlock code and have just started to read the steps.
So what would happen if you attempt to recover using Sony's app, will it restore it factory fresh with rogers bloat?

So no problems on 3G? I've got an unbranded/unlocked r800a model I've been contemplating flashing with the 2.3.3 generic UK build, but I'm a little leery with reports that it upgrades the baseband on the phone and I don't want to hose the radio. Don't know if the generic UK 2.3.2 build has a baseband update though.

No problems with 3G at all, you just have to put in your carrier's APN settings after flashing with the generic UK fw. ATM, I don't think I'll be updating to 2.3.3 yet until you're able to get root access on it on a locked bootloader.

Yeah I've got a phone that the bootloader could be unlocked, but I'm saving it as a last resort. If 2.3.3 becomes rootable this gives me some relief that I have another option in case the US dev model of the R800a doesn't get official love from SE.

Hey Flava
Since using the stock generic UK fw - have you come across any random freezing or lag with the Xperia Play? Im still using Rogers fw but have uninstalled almost all SE Bloat - yet more often than not, it chugs or gets choppy ... can't figure out why...

No freezing issues at all with the stock generic UK fw and it only get's choppy on initial boot up. I have my screen timeout set to 1 minute and I noticed that after rebooting it, if I don't slide the locker immediately and wait for the screen to timeout before doing so, it's just as if I never rebooted it at all and is pretty snappy right after that. I also have Memory Booster installed and set on Level 3 (max) boost setting on boot.
Ok I ran gingerbreak, and all seems good so far.
So now with the flash tool it looks like it is for the x10, so putting the Xperia Play_Release_Generic UK.ftf in the firmware folder is aall that is needed?
this seems so easy,

Yup, just place the generic UK fw in the firmware folder. But you're going to need to use GingerBreak once again to root it after flashing it with the fw. Also, no need to reconnect it to FlashTool after flashing it, because it won't recognize the PLAY after that. You're going to need to download a version of Busybox Installer and Superuser from the Market prior to rooting it. Then once rooted, open up Busybox Installer and install it on your PLAY.
So basically, as recap, it is:
1 - Remove SIM-lock with network unlock code
2 - Install FlashTool
3 - Flash Generic UK firmware
4 - Run GingerBreak
5 - Restore Rogers APN settings for data
I've been contempling this since I got my Rogers Xperia Play mid-May, and I want to make sure I don't mess it up (i.e. brick it).
I have a few questions, though:
1 - Is the network unlocked really necessary?
I'm under contract with for 3-years and I'm not planning to change anytime soon anyway so if I can save a few bucks and not get the network unlock code, I'll be fine. The reason I ask is because I did not noticed that unlocking the bootloader is necessary, thus the reason why I ask if necessary
2 - Is GingerBreak (root) necessary as well?
All I really want is 2.3.3, which is not rootable yet (from what I read, correct me if I'm wrong). I don't mind (yet) for the root as all my applications run fine and the only reason I would need root is to run Titanium Backup to remove bloatware, which is already not present on the UK Generic ROM.
3 - Double-check that flashing an R800i ROM on R800a hardware doesn't mess with 3G bands/baseband.
My friend has the Xperia Arc (LT15a Rogers) and flashed the UK Generic too (LT15i) and has no problems, and I just want to make sure it runs as smoothly on my Play than his Arc.
By the way: I've had a Xperia X10a before and have knowledge on how to flash etc., but I'm just making 100% SURE on that I won't run into any issues with my Xperia Play.
Thanks!

Unlocking the network on your PLAY is totally up to you and is not necessary at all. It's just a matter of preference. I unlocked my PLAY so that if I go out of the country on a vacation or something, all I have to do is purchase a pay-as-you-go SIM card from that country and use it on my unlocked PLAY, instead of having to pay ridiculous roaming and data roaming charges from Rogers.
ATM, I'm sticking with v2.3.2 which is rootable via GingerBreak because I like to customize a lot of stuff on my PLAY. The generic UK fw still has a few "bloatware" pre-installed minus all the Rogers crap and I want to be able to freeze those apps from running, not uninstall them cause I don't feel too confident that I won't run into any problems if I do so. So if I do, I just defrost the app that I froze and that was giving my problems. So rooting your PLAY, again, is totally up to you and is not necessary at all.
Regarding flashing the R800i fw onto your R800a, all you gotta do is manually put in the Rogers APN settings and everything with be just fine.

You flash a/i firmware depending on which network carrier you use. If your network provider ships (a) phones, then you should flash (a) firmware if you want 3G/UMTS. If your carrier ships (i) phones, then flash (i) firmware to use 3G/UMTS.
Hello all!
3 months ago I got my defy unlocked from t-mobile.
I'm in mexico and I want to get my provider specific baseband files, but I'm wondering if it is possible to do it without rooting the phone.
I'm trying to contact some people with defy phones in order to get the correct baseband, but first I need to know if the phone needs to be rooted.
thanks in advanced.
Just root you're phone using superoneclick 2.1, then install defy baseband switcher.

It's in Spanish, and you'll turn your phone to IUSACELL, TELCEL or MOVISTAR, with the original SBF.
If it works for you dont forget to press the THANKS button...
I've been trying to fix since installing the new update at 2pm (PST) today. Finally decided to post a question here hoping someone more knowledgeable can help me fix it.
I bought the phone and it was locked to Bell so I bought a code and was using it on Fido. I flashed the Telcel 4.4.2 update and after I flashed all the files it worked (I tried not flashing modem). When it started I got a screen that said "Network Lock" with only a dismiss button (i.e. nowhere to put re-input my unlock code). If I click it 3 times it lets me into device. In the status bar it says "Invalid SIM card" "Network locked SIM card inserted". When I try to make a call I get "Not registered on network"
I've also tried flashing my old modem.bin via ODIN but that just cause the phone to boot and vibrate a bunch. I was able to get into settings but no option for Network Operator or APN.
The network doesn't work but WiFi and everything else does. So I rooted using the new N9005 root. Added APN settings, and of course, looked for network operators. Fido doesn't show up but all other carriers do (except Chatr).
I'm in the same situation as you are but which new N9005 root are you talking about? I'm on Rogers so if I can use that to get my signal back, that would be awesome.

I got the autoroot installed and working fine. It says invalid SIM.
Previously, I had installed the firmware without flashing the CSC and I don't remember having sim lock issues then (as the Telcel specific files are not flashed) however you have to deal with the Samsung keyboard repeatedly crashing, so you have to find a way around it.
So my suggestion is reflash without the CSC file and brainstorm a way to put another keyboard on it without needing to input anything first (so Google Play is a no-go), probably side load a keyboard apk through ADB or something. Going to give it a shot.
---
The keyboard idea worked fine. Unfortunately I did still get the region/sim lock stuff because everywhere outside of Canada seems to have it turned on and the ROM defaults to tmobile without the CSC apparently. I've decided to bite the bullet and just pay for an unlock as I was planning to do so anyways.
---
And that worked until I rebooted and it asked for a SIM unlock code... well... damn. I'm just going to try to flash a rom with region/sim locking removed. Ugh.
Looks like we can fix this by downgrading or creating our own Rogers files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608178&page=54
I have the CSC and modem.bin. Tested and working (remember, I flashed PIT as said here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49512809)
https://www.mediafire.com/?yjdgd4j8s72bo46
I rolled my own too. Working fine.

Same thing was happening to me. Just follow the instructions in my previous post.
Hello guys, I have been going madness today trying to unlock my gf's Telcel Mexico Galaxy S4 i337m.
I initially tried from the stock branded rom but I couldn't pass the first page in *#0011#. So I decided to debrand it using a Samsung stock fw I337MVLUEMK6.
Unfortunately even with the debranded rom I have gotten the same result, unable pass the first page in *#0011# no matter how many times I would hit back, and the option 1 or whatever makes no difference.
At that point I stumbled upon this thread and I decided to give it a shot, however no go with this method either, probably wasn't even the point of my situation.
So at this point my questions are, is there another method beside buying an unlock code to get this phone unlocked? If anyone of you who has had luck unlocking the phone with this method would pass me it's HiddenMenu.apk, would it work if I sideload it onto my gf's S4?
Thanks
Any help??

You have to flash an earlier modem to either let you get to the hidden menu or that will work with an app called RegionLock Away. AFAIK that's the only way to do it. Do a search, some people have asked and figured it out but i have the I337 so it's different for me.

Thank you for the answer.. I had somehow figured that out but I wasn't sure. On to this thread it is stated that they have achieved to successfully unlock their S4's through Hidden Service Menu with the MF3 OTA fw.
At this point my question is, can I go with the modem_CWM_I337UCUAMF3.zip(7/9/2013)(US) baseband found on this thread and flashing it over the stock fw I337MVLUEMK6 ?
As far as I know the modem_CWM_I337UCUAMF3.zip(7/9/2013)(US) baseband is a 4.2.2 while I337MVLUEMK6 is a 4.3 version, so I just want to make sure it won't brick the device.
Apart from that, the two phones should be identical right? Like I said this one is a i337m Telcel one from Mexico, while modem_CWM_I337UCUAMF3.zip(7/9/2013)(US) should be AT&T right?
Thanks

You can't flash that one, but you should be able to flash one of older ones. You are right in that that modem is for the AT&T one, and that means it actually won't work for you. You'll have to flash one that has I337M instead of I337U. Besides that, you should be good.

Thanks for your reply once again.. In fact as you have said I tried the I337U AT&T version and obviously I didn't have any GSM/UMTS signal, so I went with the modem_CWM_I337MUMUAMDL.zip{5/30/2013}(Mexico) and I can finally get into the Services Menu, I can do the whole unlock process listed here, however once the phone reboots the result is the same, S4 doesn't read any different simcard beside the one it is locked on, which is Telcel.
Any idea? Is there a specific baseband version that does this trick on i337m? Additionally, is there a website where I can find all kinds of baseband versions for the i337m?
Thanks

Hi, im from Tijuana i also have that smartPhone and was having the same problem, what i did and it worked for me was to install this firmware
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=27549
From sammobile it is the Telcel oficial with JB 4.3 then i put my Movistar chip and it work..
Saludos...
Yeah, there's a new firmware from samsung that unlocks phones by default.
I've tested it with that exact same one.

I did a previous downgrade to 4.2 tho.
Using that 4.2 firmware, and the *#0011# code, didn't work for me.
So, I returned to the stock branded 4.3, placed a Movistar SIM, and boom! unlocked.
Didn't work too good because of the ugly 4.3 Telcel branded firmware, but at least it's unlocked.
After that I decided to install Goldeneye ROM, and the phone was carrier locked again.
The developer told me that a proper unlock method would be needed to achieve unlocking.
I managed to make a nandroid backup of Telcel's firmware, and Goldeneye ROM, and:
- inserted SIM different from telcel to the phone, booted into Telcel's firmware a couple of times and got it working
- flashed the Goldeneye ROM and retained the unlocking.
the only thing is:
if you ever place a Telcel SIM, the lock will return.
So far I've managed to keep it working once (2 full weeks) without problems.
Yesterday I tried to do it again, and every once in a while the SIM lock returns.
-------------
In other news, anyone knows how to flash other ROM than Telcel's and that buggy 4.2 I found?
Every single ROM I try to flash through ODIN gives me an error, and won't let me flash.
I've tried all these with no results:
I337MUMUENB1_I337MUUBENC1_TTT.zip
I9505XXUENAA_I9505YXXENA7_PHE.zip <--- thankfully that didn't let me flash, it was for a 9505 ::V
I337MVLUAMG1_I337MOYAAMG1_BMC.zip
I337MVLUEMK6_I337MOYAEMK6_PCM.zip
I337MVLUEMK6_I337MOYAEMK6_SPC.zip

I don't recommend anyone to flash this OTA, in fact I thing I'll shot it down
see post 69 in this same thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57407812
Once again, Don't try it unless You know what are you doing, even when this is a pure unmodified OTA file, it semi-brickd my Moto X
OTA Just right now, android 5.0 lollipop 22.21.17.en.MX Im not in any soak list.
My device is a Moto X XT1097 Pure Edition
I haven't apply it becouse I'm not sure how to root it after the update.
And I'm asking, I'm not in a soak list, so this mean is the official release?

You're on nextel carrier branded ? Can you put this ota on 1097 from carrier ?
It's the same model xt1097, as far as I know the only diference between the stock ROM and the carrier's ROM is the internet settings and stuff. Nextel Doesn't push bloatware or such so I'm guessing they just load some settings and rebrand the sistem version. I'm on 21.27.3, maybe the baseband could bring some problems I don't know... but I'm pretty shure it will work. I've been flashing stuff in carrier models for a while know and besides internet settings I've never had more problems
If somebody knows me wrong please correct me
So, how do we flash this?

I think you only have to check your APN settings. If you have an US model just make shure you're flashing the proper zip for your model. Carriers just add apps and stuff nobody use.
Think of it as installing CyanogenMod, everyone around the world has installed it and yet there aint carrier versions. Everything is about the model, not the carrier.
Anyway, whatever you decide to do you're doing it at your own risk. I'm waiting a couple of days to hear from my carrier so I can't give any help until I do the proces my self.
