I'm a noob to android but I have successfully rooted my Atrix 4g and have installed CWM (or something like it:
Code:
theandroidsoul.com/clockworkmod-cwm-recovery-for-motorola-atrix-4g/
)
I have used CWM to successfully install GingerBlur.
I really don't like any of the Motorola features so is their a stock Gingerbread rom out yet for the Atrix which I could install with CWM?
We need to bypass or unlock the bootloader before we can get a gingerbread rom, thankfuly khol has made a giant leap forward in bypassing the bootloader

There are currently no actual custom ROMs for the Atrix as the bootloader is locked and no successful method of cracking or bypassing the bootloader has been fully developed. There is currently a bypass method being worked on that has some potential.
What has been made so far are "pseudo-ROMs", the main (and only?) ones being GingerBlur, GreyBlur, and GladiAtrix.
GingerBlur gives you a Gingerbread theme, deodexes (allows for custom themeing), removes bloatware, and installs many of the Gingerbread system applications like the gallery. It also makes some tweaks to various parts of the phone to speed things up and whatnot, enables sideloading, and allows you to tether without a tethering plan.
GreyBlur basically does the same thing except with a different theme to it. However, it is behind on features compared to GingerBlur so installing GingerBlur is recommended at the moment.
GladiAtrix basically does everything that GingerBlur does minus the Gingerbread theme.
I linked the topics for each of them, you can read more in depth there.

I'm new to the Android experience and I'm loving it so far. But I wanted to ask about ROM's. I understand they're a modified version of the android OS (no?). What I wanted to is that if you needed an external storage to install a ROM on your phone. If so whats the minimum size? Also does adeo work with 4.1.57? or are we still waiting for a developer to release an update?
Thanks for any sort of help you can can give me =)
you do not need any extra space, it replaces the existing software/build.
However, the likelyhood that you will see any true ROMs for this phone are close to zero. The real thing to realize is that you really don't need them. Unless you like modding your phone for fun, or overclocking, or whatever it isn't needed. You can mod a lot of stuff with just root, and honestly most of the stuff people want, can be done without whole new ROMs.
as far as adeo, no idea, check the thread on it. Never touched it myself.
I'm trying to get GingerBlur on my phone, apparantly I am required to have adeo for that.

Adeo and gingerblur do not work on 1.57 there is a way to deodex 1.57 and I think they're working on or already have the recovery/reboot options available for 1.57 also I believe Ken is working on gingerblur to work on 1.57 as far as ROMs with the CWM there might be ROM development in the near future using the current kernel

GingerBlur 1.1 works on 1.5.7. However, you need the bootstrap recovery apk from the Android Dev section. The Gingerblur installer auto-deodexes your phone. However, you need an SD card to put GingerBlur on
This phone doesn't need all of the ROMs people want. It's a super fast phone, even without overclocking. My other two phones, the Captivate and Inspire, needs to be modded to function well. Says a lot about the quality of the devices
The true ROMs (Cyanogen, Cognition, Serendipity, whatever else there is) might never, ever be usable on this phone. This device has a signed bootloader, and we can't install custom kernels while it is signed. One of the only ways we might get around this is if Motorola pulls their heads out of their asses.

I would recommend at least 4 GB. Anything less will probably get filled up quite quickly. I bought mine from buy.com for an extremely cheap price. Hell, you can get a 16GB for ~$20 on Newegg.
This is the link to the CWM recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019143
You need to have sideloading enabled. That isn't hard, just follow this second link to root and update to 1.5.7 correctly.
You need to be rooted, and at 1.5.7. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016060
This is a guide to getting root on the newest update. This is the direction you must use:
1.2.6 SBF Flash -> Root 1.2.6 (using retainroot from the second link) -> update your phone OTA with 1.5.7 -> run the afterupdate.bat from retainroot -> install CWM recovery -> put GingerBlur.zip on SD card -> boot into CWM recovery and install zip from SD card.
It seems complicated, but you'll get used to it.
This si the micro sd card I purchased: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ..._re=16gb_micro_sd_card-_-20-211-379-_-Product
It's a Class 6 - 16GB, for only $28. It's almost criminal not to buy it! Mine works great so far

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.

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.

Check out that sticky. Has all the information you need. Hard to give an opinion without being a fanboy, so just read on up and decide for yourself. BTW, cm7 is not very stable for the droid x, so you might want to look at alternatives.
Z4root in the link. I don't think you can install cm7 on the DX due to the locked bootloader.

I would recommend liberty or apex rom, had them both before and really liked them. Currently running the team black hat .595 rooted and deodexed. I froze all the bloat, changed the boot logo and animation too. Probably just depends on what level of customization you are happy with.
DX 2.3.3
CM7 isn't available on the DX so you're SOL on that one.
The easiest way to root is (as previously mentioned) z4root which is all done on t he phone itself, you just need to grab the .apk from the XDA forums here.
Personally I would recommend Fission over Liberty but that is only because my DX doesn't seem to always play nice with some of the Liberty tweaks. Fission 2.6.1 (Froyo 2.2.1) hasn't been updated in a while but it is very solid, very fast & has excellent battery life (when paired with SetCPU.)
If you want to go the *leaked* (meaning it isn't done yet) Gingerbread route, there is the TBH (TeamBlackHat) stock releases or you can also check out Liberty Gingerbread (which I've been running for the past couple of days). So far so good with Liberty GB but battery wise I think its better on something like Fission.

That is wrong actually...you'd only need to do that if he wanted to keep the stock ROM & just theme it. If he wants to flash a different ROM then all you'd have to do is drop the ZIP file onto the root location of the SD card & wipe cache, wipe data, wipe Dalvik and then install the ROM (like you would on any other ROM via CWM.)

Fission is indeed 2.2 (2.2.1 to be exact) and (on my phone) it works fantastic...Liberty and a few others aren't as friendly some apparent reason.
Liberty is the most active I would say but b/c they do a lot of tweaks, some phones (like mine) are finicky with those tweaks. Their Froyo release (2.0.1) is solid & their (leaked) GB mod isn't half bad either.
CWM does work, you just have to apply the Droid X Bootstrap Recovery installed & run the bootstrap in the app then reboot in order to get to the CWM interface.
So that cwm business sounds annoying do I have to do that everytime? Is there a working recovery for this phone such as amon ra? As I mentioned before fission includes one correct? Can the fission recovery be used to flash other roms? Also is there a 2.3 update coming for fission?

It's not as bad as it sounds to honest, it takes just as long on my wife's Dinc (running CM7.0.3) to hold down power, choose reboot then choose recovery to get into CWM. The bootstrap app is free (just gotta search online) or you can support Koush (the dev) by buying it in the Android Market ($2.00).
That's the best the Droid X can do to get into CWM b/c of Motorola locking down the bootloader. The only ROM I know of that lets you boot into recovery is Liberty *BUT* it honestly is faster using the dedicated bootstrap app.
Not sure about Fission going to 2.3 however not much has been updated on Fission since 2.6.1 (based on 2.2.1) was released but my guess is that it would however get updated to Gingerbread. GB on the DX is not *officially* out yet so all the leaks at this point are still just leaks...and all the GB-based ROMs are based on potentially unfinished leaks. It does run (really) well but it still is running a handful of Motorola services (even Liberty GB is) and I prefer as close to AOSP as possible...which is why I always go back to Fission 2.6.1.
Seeing 60-75MB of memory used (instead of 100+MB) in "running services" with (near) AOSP ROMs makes my inner OCD geek happy
I have an old Tmobile G1 rooted that I would like to flash a stock rom 1.6 without loosing root. anyone Knows hot to do this?
What do you mean with "without loosing root"?
Without loosing custom recovery / installed SPL or without loosing the "root" functionality within the rom?
2nd will be a bit difficult, because it's no longer "stock", but there are some roms from Enomther which are going in that directions.
1st should be more easy (just an idea, I didn't try yet): Take the signed-kila-xxx.zip (full update release to 1.6), unzip, remove the radio, spl, recovery from it, modify the update-script, repack and sign (if you want to flash with Amon RA).

i have a copy of a generic stock rom made for rooted devices... i just never use it, was kinda just a rom with a root guide to have untill you install your own custom rom... but here's a thought
1. there are plenty of roms that are fully functional and much better, faster, and smoother than the stock 1.6 G1
2. can use the generic rom i mentioned, but again im not sure how it's functionality is compared to stock.
3. Unroot the device and flash stock 1.6

Hi all,
First of all, I am an Evo LTE owner so forgive my lack of knowledge regarding SBFs / anything Motorola. I am looking to flash CM onto a DX at a friend's request. The phone in question is running the latest OTA and is fully stock.
I saw the thread over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823112&page=2 with a new direct root method - is it possible to flash CM7 or any other custom ROM given this? I have seen a lot of comments that you can't downgrade to an older SBF and that CM4DX-GB seems to want a .605 SBF or something like that, I believe this phone is .621.
Is it possible to root the .621 with the "direct" method above, flash CWM and then flash CM or something?
Any help would be appreciated!
If you're on .621 you can absolutely flash Cm7. You need only root via the direct root method you linked, install recovery via Droid 2 Bootstrapper, and flash the ROM plus Google apps

Edit: Am I using this (D2B) or this (DXB)? What is the difference?
Don't flash the official builds. Flash the custom builds from Root wiki.
I recommend using D2B since DXB doesn't work unless USB Debugging is enabled. You can use either.
