Hi, i'm on 2.3.4 that installed exactly like the Instructions in this post:
briefmobile.com/download-android-2-3-4-gingerbread-for-motorola-atrix-4g
can i switch to "Ninja" ROM? and how?
thanks, and sorry for bad english.
Yes you can. Boot into CWM, backup, factory reset, install from sd, pick downloaded Ninja ROM. If you are international user you need to flash faux kernel as well.
Your post should be in Q&A, not general.
no chance to get hard brick?
I doubt it, maybe a soft brick, but if you get soft bricked you can just flash a fruitcake

what happen is that i just rooted and added clockworkmod onto my epic and right after i went into clockworkmod to flash a theme and a keyboard at the same time and when i went to reboot it didnt reboot pass the samsung logo.
You probably just need to restore one of your nand backups in cwm
Did you try flashing the theme with a deodexed rom?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Nope, you are not bricked. Find the thread that returns your phone to stock. Follow the directions closely. Once that is done, re-root your phone. It sound like the poster before me was right, you tried to flash a theme on a stock rom that was not deodexed.
so whats a good deodexed rom i can use??
Personally I like the nebula dk28 rom

Please forgive the noobish question..this is my 1st android product and I am still learning...
I am currently using Task650's rom version 5 along with the current pershoot kernal....If I want to move to Version 6
1. do i only wipe the delvrik cache,then flash version 6?
2. do I need to reflash the kernal after flashing version 6
3. what is the easiest way to backup all my apps if i have to wipe everything and then put them back?
i am using a rooted 10.6 wifi only...just really trying to get the hang of if there is an order to flashing roms and kernals like if i install a new rom or even update if i have to reflash kernal and reset setcpu?..thanks in advance.
Please Anyone... I really wanna do this...

1. Most scripts wipe dalvik cache when install or upgrading a ROM. Check with rom author if your not sure. With V. 6 from V. 5 its not necessary.
2. Yes, V. 6 will flash stock kernel. Unless noted in original post from ROM creator, custom ROMs "generally" have stock kernel. Other forums this is not true. You will need to setup SetCPU again after flashing.
3. Titanium Backup, it's a very powerful tool for backing up data apps. Rule of thumb, DO NOT backup and restore system apps, you can put your device in a bootloop or other bad things like applications that force close all the time.

Just a FYI: no need to boot the rom first though. Flash ROM, directly flash Kernel and then boot up. Good luck!

I've seen it recommended to reboot between the ROM install and kernel install. Though I can't say that there is harm that I am aware of.
for #1, task650 said: "You only need to wipe dalvich and cache to upgrade from V5"
for #2, havent tried to flash the kernel yet but will give a shoot asap
Any advice how to do it is more welcomed
for #3, titanium backup ftw
on at&t atrix how can I revert back to stock rom without un-rooting the phone? I would like root access but just use the stock moto rom that came with the phone?
I tired many methods including this one and no luck all I get is the moto boot loop
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600
Did you do a full wipe? Wipe cache, devlik, factory reset? It's easy to root the atrix so just find the stock rom version you want and if you loose root that's no biggy because you can reroot the device.

yes I did all of that and no luck other then boot loop though I foind a one click auto unroot script will that do the trick?
I would highly recommend just using one of the fruitcake roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009) .
For other things i would check these posts http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 as they were very helpful when i was working on getting a new rom setup.

Use the fruit cakes they are as close as you can get to stock after unlocking your bootloader and soo much safer
than rsd lite

Besides it's a pain to use RSD to flash stock... I did it recently and "Woah Sally!" it took several flashes for it to take. But it did take, after that I just re-unlocked/rooted from there. So I am not recommending my method at all, unless you have time to spare and don't care about your device.
So i just bought a defy+ and it has 2.3.5. Stupid carrier.
Well, im trying to find which baseband is using but its not listed in the about phone menu. Is there any other way around?
I want to install a custom rom with 720p, but all there are so many different kernels i have no idea which one to use, or if i even need to flash one. My previous phone was a Xperia X8, you just had to unlock BL, flash kernel and flash rom. Here, theres the SBF files , the nandroid stuff. Are you supposed to use both?
If anyone can recommend me a rom thats not MIUI(i need my drawer ok) or ICS, i would appreciated.
Anyway, i need to know the baseband to see if i can try the soft simunlock.
Here is my build number :4.5.2-51_DFL-50 whatever it means.
ps: i already made a backup with cwm of the stock rom and also rooted my phone.
To flash a sbf you have to download RSD Lite and drivers, here u have the steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537. Then, install the rom u like from recovery. Here u have all Epsylon and Quarx ICS nightlys (ICS, CM9) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432100. With Defy+ use gb Kernel.
I just have some questions regarding the kernels. If i install the ICS roms and then i want to go back, which kernel i need to flash to be able to restore my phone using the nandroid backup i made.

None, because when you are doing full backup a copy of a kernel is included.
Then im going to update CWM, make a new backup just in case and start to play a around a bit.
Thanks for the help ^^
ps: is there anything wrong with 2.3.5? just asking because i hardly see any posts related to this android version

2.3.5 is perfectly fine! It's what I use as a base for both CM7.2 and CM9 builds for Gingerbread and it's great! It's rootable and you can even flash down to Froyo if you wish so, there's a special version 6 Froyo sbf in the forums.
If you have any doubts or if anything confuses you, please do ask before trying, that will save you both time and nerves
Full 2.3.5 sbf that I use: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt...22_A022_M002_HWp3_WIG148094_Service1FF.sbf.gz
*EDIT* Just read the whole first post You can use Quarx's CM7.2 and CM9 defy+ nightlies on your phone without flashing anything else but the ROM zip and gapps zip (optional, as you know). Both available here - http://quarx2k.ru/
i have one more question regard the defy+,
If i flash the cm7.2 or cm9 builds by Quarx and want to go back, i just need to restore the backup i made with cwm right? or do i really need to get the sbf from my carrier?
is there any difference(flashing a sbf or restoring form nandroid. Not in procedure but in the final result)?

Yep restoring the backup will suffice but if you want to get back your warranty you need to uninstall CWM and any other root apps and unroot your phone. That won't leave any trace of root.
Following are some main differences in flashing nandroid and SBF:
1.) Nandroid backup restores your phone to exact state as it was during backup. SBF gives you back exactly how your phone was when you purchased it. Thus, you still have root and CWM after nandroid whereas your phone is clean as new after SBF(recomended to claim warranty).
2.) SBF flashes almost everything except data partition! Nandroid flashes even the data partition..
Thanks for the help, ill use nandroid until i get back. Besides cwm is easy to remove.

I have a question, I have a stock defy (Bayer, according logcat)..
The android version that it has is 2.2.1 and build version is 3.4.2-107_JDNL-9..
Once I root it and install CWM, can I just flash any rom, like the one you link above or I need to use RSD lite for something before?
I'm sorry for the noob questions but never had a motorola before, always nexus line which has unlocked bootloader..

Yep once you have CWM you can go on with flashing ROMs with ease. You need RSD lite and SBBF only if you soft brick your phone(Very hard!) or want to go back to stock to claim warranty.
Thank you for your help

Hi guys,
I did root my device recently, is there any way to re-lock it again as I need to bring it back to the company?
Flash the latest firmware using Odin or initialize using smart switch. This will wipe the the data on the phone.
Stop making a post on this, multiple threads here that talk about fixing this.
Thank you qwewqa. Onw question more more please, how can I have a backup copy of my stock rom that I currently have? Something different than titanium backup please.
Thanks again

Do you mean the rooted rom or the rom you have after the reset. You could backup using flashfire if rooted. Smart switch works for non rooted devices and rooted devices but will not backup app data.
Bump to top. When I flashed latest firmware it still shows the pad lock and custom
Any ideas? If possible to go completely stock?

Did you try reading post #2?
Re-flash the original firmware. It won't be rooted if successful. Therefore it would be completely stock again.
