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:
Nombre: America Movil
APN: ba.amx
Hit Save. Currently working on my Atrix.
I just wondering if you need warranty hours you will come to stock?i hope you did a backup with recovery.
The apn above will help you

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.

thx Guys ,,
i tried SGS unlock from market but it shows unlock code as : null !!!
also i tried manually search and edit nv_data.bin but i ddnt find it and find bml3.bak
(as other methods says) also tried to search it for SSNV but no success!!
whats is the guranteed methid even if it possible to get back to 2.1 !!
please help me
note: (phone doesnt ask for code when i insert another SIM !!)
Buy the SGS Unlocker from market author Degantboy or something like that.. the paid version 100% works on my phone.... it use to show me unlock code on 2.1 but not 2.2+ but still unlocks my phone.
Run the unlock procedure, reboot phone, shut phone off, place in new sim card, power up phone, if the phone isn't unlocked re-run app with new SIM card and reboot, voila should fix your problem.
Your phone needs to be rooted. and the free versions don't work for me.
you can always just buy the unlock code to unlock the sim restriction.
http://unlockcellphonecode.com/code-for-unlocking-samsung-cell-phone
worked for me.
While we're on this topic, I used one of the free apps back when I had 2.1 to get the unlock code.
I've never used it, but I have the code saved. Now that I have updated to 2.2 and then 2.3, would the code still work?
Hmm another factor is that I must have done that before I had the phone repaired (as the repaired one came back with 2.2). I wonder if whatever board they replaced will have a different unlock code? I guess it might be based on the IMEI? Not sure if that changed or not...
Nv data hex edit. Change a 1 to 0, and permanent unlock. search for instructions, they are on this forum and search really isn't that hard to use.

Guys, once the Bell SGS is unlocked, which networks can it run on? I'm specifically interested in Wind. Can it run on AWS/1700?
Sorry for the slight hi-jack but I can't find accurate info anywhere.

You must get confused by the T-mobile Vibrant when searching for information. The Bell SGS does not have band 1700, as such, it will not work on Wind. The T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant includes 1700 but does not have band 850/1900.
I used superoneclick to root then purchased SGS Unlock Pro. When I upgraded to GB via Kies, the unlock remained. I had used the app that got the unlock code but when I re-locked my device, the code stopped working.
found that the free version of SGS Unlocker
(Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool DaGentooBoy)
and Galaxy S Unlock (by Helroz) don't unlock the i9000m running android 2.3.3

I have used Galaxy S Unlock by Helroz, however in order for it to work, you may have to install/upgrade busybox.
I found the easiest way to do this was to superoneclick, then install titanium backup and make sure it has root access. Then upgrade busybox from within. Then you can use the Galaxy S Unlock to unlock.
i did this on my newer phone, and also on my family member's Galaxy S2 from Bell.
altering nv_data.bin might end in total imei lose if you corrupt it
and please do not pay or purchase full apps to unlock your device !!!!

I also have a Canadian Bell GS2 with CM9, root, busybox... I'm trying to put a Rogers sim card in it.
I have tried both the Galaxy S Unlock as well as the Galaxy unlock app from Herloz unsuccessfully...
I have tried to run the unlock code generator by feeding it the nv_data.bin, but my GPU is not supported, and I'm not exactly keen on messing up my EFS files.
I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for me?
Perhaps I could have you guys run the tool with the attached nv_data.bin?
Much appreciated.
Hello All,
I'm one day new to Android, but deep in WinMo (formerly here) and iPhones.
I Rooted using SuperOneClick and all went well.
Installed 2init, all good.
Flashed CM7.1 Stable
Now I have no data service. I went ahead and saw the baseband selector and I selected Argentina, I'm in the Dominican Republic, but it's the same frequencies (850/1900) and nothing.
Please help.

Hello! Sometimes, same frequencies means nothing in Baseband switcher. I think you have to check all the frequencies and options until you find the correct one.
Greetings!
Try all the basebands until it works
Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz
Tried China ME722 1.10 (850/1900/2100) No Good Either
Australia Telstra 2.26.0 (850/2100) got EDGE, atleast.
I have been trying all of them, and only get EDGE. When I tried Argentina Claro, I got 3G but only for like 5 seconds then the entire signal was lost. Gonna keep searching.
Well, It all Failed No 3G
I even had a live chat with Motorola and they confirmed that my IMEI matches the sticker on my box, the bands are correct for my networks etc, so I guess my only option is to flash my phone back to factory and send the phone for replacement: It's two days old.
Paul
Can Someone link me or tell me how to revert CM7.1 to Original 2.2 firmware that came with my phone? Is there a way from me reading the label on the box to put the original firmware back and even "un-root" the phone?

You have to flash a SBF. It's the only way to have an original firmware again and un-root the phone. You should check this and choose a SBF file. Also, if you are lucky, you can find the original SBF file of your provider on Google.

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?

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

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

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

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.
