I performed the webtop mod but did not root device, as the webtop mod was pretty simple and I have no use for root.
With the new announcment that an update is coming the 29th I would like to revert back to stock so I can obtain this update.
Problem is there are really no clear instructions on doing this.
I am somewhat technically advanced (I rooted and put a custom rom on a g1, but used step by step guides to do so).
I have found many different instructions on rooting and the instructions for returning webtop to stock are layed out for the more advanced users.
Can anyone dumb it down a little and help the novice users like me revert to stock so we can get the update.
Im sure there are a lot of people out there who are in the same boat as myself.
Thanks!

Did you guys find download and install RSD 5.0
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Don't even know what that is.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Go to link I posted download sbf 1.2.6 then download rsd 5.0 if you've connected your phone to your computer and your computer has recgonized the phone then you don't need to worry about the drivers. Once you've installed rsd and downloaded 1.2.6 follow instructions they're super clear and step by step

Now you need a recovery to flash ROMS. Which recovery do you have already? A custom or stock phone?

Easiest way is to go into the market and download "ROM Manager" by ClockworkMod. In that program pick the first option to flash clockwork mod. Put the ROM on your internal SD card then boot into recovery. Perform your wipes and then install the .zip from sd card.

tried tha too. same problem blacka screen comes up with a caution triangle
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
You may not be rooted. Do you have superuser in your app list? Does ROM manager ask for root privileges? Did you grant them?

is there any way that i can get my motoblur account back on alien 4? cuz evey time i tried to set it up this error comes up "there were erros getting data from the blur service." how can i solve this ?
Advice BEFORE i unlock appreciated !
I followed this guide to root my T-Mobile Atrix http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root
I then installed both TitaniumB & CWM to test it phone was rooted ok & all currently seems good..
I NOW want to follow this guide (((http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...97&postcount=1))) with
the end goal being to install my custom roms (eg Alien or CM7)
As a NOOB i do have a couple of querys BEFORE I enter the path to enlightenment. I really appreciate some
advice..
1. Is there a guide (OR ADVICE FROM ANY PRO OUT THERE) that can tell me how to backup my current stock T-
Mobile installation ?
2. I am assuming I can jump straight to "Unlock your Bootloader" correct or not ?
3. If I CAN jump straight to "Unlock your Bootloader" should I miss anything out based on the fact I did not use Gingerbreak to root my atrix ?
4.Do I need to do a network unlock BEFORE starting any of the above ?
5.Why on step 10 does it say "10. Load up the SBF file – IHOP_Bell.sbf"
but the actual file inside the RAR is called "intl-fix-try1.sbf" ??? Worry or not ??
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO DO prior to following this guide ?
Thanks friends...........
John
UPDATE:-
Took the plunge, all seemed to work great... No need for anyone to waste their time on me..Thank you
Hello guys my friend she wants me to root her phone and get clockwork on it and custom roms. What's the easiest way to root? Can someone guide me? Thanks in advance.

Download the flashtool by androxyde and follow the steps to rooting it and possibly look into unlocking the bootloader also. It would make for a quicker loading the phone on turning on. For a solid Rom I would go with Wolfbreaks 6.0 because it's very good and stable.

Rule no.1 never mod a friends phone! You might end up having to buy her a new one. And since you seem uncertain of where to even start =/ i would'nt recomend it.

What about rooting her?
NVM
Download Pc companion and upgrade to 2.3 if u are not on 2.3...
But upgrading to 2.3 will wipe contacts,sms,apps,etc
so do backup
Then download the latest Flashtool and connect phone with usb debbuging on and unknown sources on
then press root button
u are done now she will have rooted 2.3 x10
For some reason, every time I try to install a custom ROM in CWM (Gingerbread, not ICS), my phone doesn't get past the bootloader after installing it with CWM. I installed some themes through CWM, so it works for them.I've tried Arconium 7.3 and GingerChaosFZ, none of them work. I have an Arc S and my phone's bootloader is locked and I'm on baseband 56, if that matters.
Almost all custom roms requires the phone's bootloader to be unlocked and requires a specific kernel ( which again requires bootloader unlocked for it to be flashed ) .
Better read the related information before trying out ( and later repenting )

I checked in the service menu, it says "Bootloader unlock allowed: No", so I didn't even try unlocking it.
Then do the testpoint method to unlock it...

Don't you have to use SETool for that?
Yes, but Jinx13 does it for you.

So I got my lucid rooted but now I can't get a recovery or a ROM to install. I've tried all I could find. All I get is the fast boot error when I try to flash a recovery or a ROM. I've got superuser and I'm not really new to the community. I've adjusted a few values in the build just trying to make it a little more buttery. Help!! I need more root powers.

Not sure about your phone, On most you need to unlock the Bootloader.
