hello
i have quite a big problem
and I'm in a stage which i need your help.
it goes like this:
i have atrix 4g and i tried cm7, cm9, neutrino and a few more roms
in all of them the device just shut off suddenly and it would turn on by a short press on the ON button or sometimes only if i would remove and restore the battery.
i have tried to flash dozen times , wipe dalvik cache full etc. no success.
i have decided to try and do something, because maybe the sbf (maybe the current one is broken , i dunno), or maybe if i would go stock rom - motorola blur - it would change.
so now when i want to downgrade from cm9 jokersax , to : Blur_Version_91.4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.US
how am i supposed to do it?
just full wipe from recovery, run this script via fastboot ,
and flash this blur version via recovery?
wont i risk hard brick? what should i notice?
thanks in advanced
Ariel
Are you using a US AT&T Atrix? That file is for that model. That's the first step. Then I'd just use rsd lite and flash it.
I'm using the Orange atrix version
If you SBF the US version you risk a hard brick. If you can get files onto your SD card, try putting a fruitcake of 91.4.5.141 on it, and install it through CWM after wiping system, data, cache and dalvik.
yes i can put files on my sd card
but what's fruitcake? what's it do? and where do i get this file?

International ROMs
All missing, please contact me if you have any of them.
I've searched the whole topic , there is no mention to orange fruit cake.
will the att fruitcake do good?
and what is fruitcake at all?

A fruitcake is the system partition of an SBF converted into a CWM flashable zip file. Whereas SBFs carry a high risk of bricking, a fruitcake is safe since worst case scenario you flash another rom.
Flashing an AT&T fruitcake onto an international phone or an international rom on an AT&T phone will work, but your ram will be cut in half unless you also flash a custom kernel. I recommend Faux123's kernels. Make sure you get one for Blur and not CM/AOSP.

I saw that too but I was hoping somewhere in that thread or the one samcripp referenced might have it or info on it. Maybe contact sam to see if he has it?
I've already pmed him. But I doubt that will be of any help this thread is from along time ago. Do you have any other idea how to solve that problem or get that file?
Try a new SIM card before you take risks, I hear that it helps.
I had the same issue and the store gave me a new Atrix.

Only thing I can think is to do a google search. Also sometimes people looking for specific sbf files can make a new thread titled "need *** sbf" someone almost always comes to help if its titled like that.
Also try the above post first. I had a no data/wifi problem and found my sim was in desperate need of replacing.

Please help -- how to flash this new stock gingerbread rom to a rooted g2
I have a rooted G2 running CM7, but the gps is totally dead. I'm too much of a noob to flash a new radio, which I think would do the trick. Flashing this stock gingerbread rom seems like the perfect solution because it includes an updated radio and i am just sure it will fix the gps problem.
I bought the phone rooted and I know how to flash new rooted roms through clockwork (so easy), but I have absolutely no idea how to flash a rom like this that updates everything.
I'm sure this question has been asked here before, but can someone just point me to a step-by-step instructions about how to flash this particular stock gingerbread rom to a g2 that is rooted and has clockwork installed?
Thanks~! This is my first post.

Flashing a radio is easy. Just follow the steps in the radio thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
I know the second method (fastboot and radio.img files) is supposed to be safer. But that looks like it might be over your head, and you need the Eng Hboot to do it.
Flashing a ROM is easy, too. Just move the file to your SD card, and flash from ROM Manager. You will see an option "Install ROM from SD Card". Browse to the file, and the rest is the same as if you downloaded the ROM using ROM Manager.
Thanks, but a few more questions . . .

Thanks for the reply! I think you are underestimating how new I am to this, though. My question is really this: does it matter, when flashing the new gingerbread rom for g2 that just came out, that the rom is not just a rom, but also a radio and everything else? it is titled in the "PC10IMG" form, which seems to me, from reading other threads, to be a special thing.
[full title: PC10IMG_Vision_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.13.531.8_Radio_12.52.60.25_26.08.04.30_M3_release_188635_signed]
also, would you recommend that i wipe stuff before flashing? when the person who flashed my phone with me last time did it, he wiped dalvik cache and two others (can't remember which, or where he found them in recovery), and user data as well. but if you go to do it within clockwork, it doesn't ask you to do that, does it? again, i'm sure there is a thread about this somewhere.

well, it's a bit complicate.
supposedly the rom will return your phone to a totally stock state, which will give you the new radio etc, but you will not have root - this was already confirmed. One other forum member mentioned that he flashed the rom and did not loose S-OFF, which is a controversy...
update: lol, dude having CM on your phone means you already have clockwork installed. you just need the /system part of the leak and it's available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074852
Really all he needs to do is run vision efs wipe. This been gone over a million times. CM + gps broke = needing efs wipe. No need to get into radios and all that just yet.

you can solve your gps issues by following two basics:
1. match libs in /system/libs with your radio version,
2. wipe two partitions like it is explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028405
You don't need the new rom, though - it still has the 2 muted seconds when receiving an incoming call - for me that is the no go.

I thought you were talking about the version of the leak that is mentioned in the last post (#10) and also mentioned above in post #4, which is pre-rooted. Thats the one you want. Flash from ROM Manager.
If you are talking about flashing this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074391
This is the official ROM, and as stated in the previous post, you will lose root. So you probably want to avoid this.
PC10IMG.ZIP files are flashable from Hboot (CWM not required). But since you have Clockwork, I believe you can flash any ROM or patch, as long as its a ZIP file. Its safer to flash from CWM anyway, so avoid Hboot for flashing ROMs.
Not positive, but I think you can keep your data since you are going between similar ROMs (Gingerbread, non-Sense). Wiping dalvik and cache are advisable. Not doing so when switching ROMs can lead to random bugs, and there is no real reason to not wipe them. You can wipe dalvik and cache in recovery. If you want to wipe data, you can also do that in recovery, under "advanced". But you will lose all your user data.
If you flash from ROM Manager, it will ask if you want to wipe. But I've never been clear on what all exactly is wiped (dalvik, cache, data). It might be all 3 of those.
Sorry, I've just stated a bunch of things I'm not completely sure about. So hopefully somebody else can confirm these.
The good news is, do a backup of your current ROM in ROM Manager before you flash anything, and if you screw up anything, you can just go into recovery and load your backup.
please help -- do not want to brick

I actually would prefer this to flashing a version of this rom that someone else has extracted/altered, however little. My fear is two things:
1 -- Will it brick my phone to flash a PCIMG file? (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838484)
2 -- what do I have to do differently to flash a PCIMG file other than what I normally would do in clockwork to flash another rom (for example a CM rom)
THANKS!

I have tried that, to no avail. I see others who have tried that and failed, and things seem to get tricky after that. I agree, I would rather avoid the nitty gritty stuff.
So I am devastated to see that there is no lock animation =(. That was something I was really looking forward to, despite the insignificance.

My opinion, you're better off flashing the rooted ROM. If you flash the official PC10IMG.ZIP, you will lose root, and not be able to get it back without downgrading (negating the purpose of flashing the official ROM in the first place).
Are you worried about malicious, or accidentally harmful modifications to the ROM (in the rooted version of the leak)? I don't worry much about ROMs for reputable developers. But admittedly, I don't know anything about that user that posted the rooted version of the leak.
In response to your questions:
1) As the thread you posted indicates, its safer not to flash those files unless you know exactly what you are doing.
2) I think you can flash from Clockwork. But as I said, if you aren't sure what you are doing, its not a good idea. You will lose root, and I think some people have also gotten S-On by flashing the official ROMs also. I which case, you may be pretty screwed (as far as getting root), since you can't flash other ROMs with S-On.
Alright so I've reading through all sorts of different forums and feel lost and exactly what to do. I downloaded the official 2.3 update ROM for the G2 that Football had released off of a mirrored site from my phone's browser then renamed it PC10IMG and moved to the root of the SD card. I then did the whole volume down + power button to load the zip but for some reason it says:

MICROP-0425

Hello all,
I have a T-Mobile UK Atrix and I was looking for the 1.97.00R radio to install so I would stop getting random reboots on Alien #4 (which i'm just testing now)

This is just a post for information, as I spent 2 days looking for this radio. Thanks all.

ATT ATRIX used internationally
I have always had this question but never got a crystal clear answer for! I am using a SIM unlocked ATT Atrix outside USA. what radios should i consider? ATT or International? I'm worried that if I installed an international radio this might affect the hardware as the device was manufactured to work on ATT networks?

AT&T. It is an AT&T phone, no matter where you use it.
what exactly is the procedure to flash radios?
Do you flash radios after custom rom or before? or it doesn't matter?
do you have to wipe cache? factory reset? before? after?
I've seen ppl say to wipe before flashing radios... how do you do this when you are flashing with an sbf file and RDS?
Do you have to re flash the ROM when installing new radios?
I'm not sure if there's a thread showing clear instructions... I couldn't find it.
thanks

I flash the radio last. I wipe the Dalvik and cache. Don't need to factory reset. I boot into CWM, clear the caches then reboot the phone while holding the up volume button and then I flash the radio through rsd lite. This has worked for me. Remember you will probably have to deal with the 1 bar issue. Also remember that using rsd is very dangerous after having updated to gb. I have used it to only flash radios and have not ever had a problem. When I need to flash a rom I always use CWM (romracer) and if I need to go back to a clean gb I use Fruitcakes.
thanks.

I have asked to my telecoms operator the unsimlock code for my Defy, it said is yet unlocked but it is not
I have flash a full sbf 2.3.6. Before it was a 2.3.4.
Motorola can't give any code.
Is there a way to show to the operator that is still locked? Or a non paid way to have the unlock code (it's free with my operator)
I know that is a way to have a soft unock but only with cm7 or miui.
But i prefer a hard unlock for motorola rom.

Always complain in a retail center. Take your defy, show him, let him call to services. Be persistent, not rude.
Indeed you could use a softunlock for CM7 or MIUI, don't know if you could for stock.
Thx for the answer. I have try this morning the softunlock with cm7 Nightly ( the only one cm7 i can install) but don't work . I think that the softunlock is only for 2.2.
Could you please try to install the nightly again and then flash the zip from my latest post on that threat?
Edit:
The zip

Also you can try to write at russian forum - motofan.ru ( i'm not able to post link there...)
Just write IMEI and your model to them, probably you'll receive unlock code.
If you won't, only way is patch.

Do you mean to follow this way below? But i'm afraid this way don't work with Defy+?
Common Problems/Questions
Black Screens when booting up: (!) Tried to install a version of Android with a lower CG Version than the one currently on the phone.
Weird behavior after installing a Fixed SBF: Install a matching Nandroid backup with your SBF, and remember to clear Cache/Dalvik Cache using Recovery.
Installed full Gingerbread SBF and can’t go back to another rom: (!) aha! We have a issue here!, latest Stock Gingerbread full SBFs comes with a Version 5 of the CG, meaning until not long ago you were pretty much screwed. But wait, there is hope! A one kind Éclair has been found in China Defys that comes with Version 5 CG!.
How to fix it:
Download this SBF and Flash it
Root your Phone
Download 2nd Init 1.4.2 and Install ClockworkMod Recovery
Download and install this Nandroid Backup
Enter Recovery, Wipe Data/Cache
After wiping, turn off your phone
Turn it on and get immediately into Bootloader mode
Flash this Fixed SBF
Delete Data/Cache again and reboot.
You WONT be able to install full SBFs of any Éclair or Froyo since these Androids have lower CG Versions.
**NOTE*: I just rephrased the original post since it can be a bit confusing, it is linked as source below.
**NOTE2**: If you are using a non-Chinese defy, DO NOT USE THE CAMERA FLASH while on the Chinese rom, it WILL kill your LED.
Source: ((Original post here))
How to Install CM7 after Installing a Full Gingerbread SBF: (!) Ok, first of all do all the steps above on "Installed full Gingerbread SBF and can’t go back to another rom"
Root your Defy (Using SuperOneClick 1.7 and not 1.9).
Install SystemRecovery from GoAPK. If you install 2nd init, you'll just get into a boot loop and have to start over.
Reboot to recovery. Do a factory wipe, then do the cache wipe.
Install CM7 .Zip and then gapps zip file. DO NOT wipe again, you'll just go back to 2.2.2 CEE (if you accidentally do this, you can pick up again from step 3).
profit!

Yes it works with Defy+ if you are on a bld6 rom (not for the bld7 roms)
My patch from a couple posts back makes a copy of the patched file on your sdcard in the folder defy_simlock_originals. Could you post them here?
Don't know if the module works with the gingerbread kernel. That's why it is a good idea to try to get CM7 with froyo kernel. It's also handy if you wan't to install other roms (WIUI ...)
But could you fist give those files? Maybe i've made a mistake again ^^.
Edit:
Sorry you don't have the right guide. That one is for bld5 downgrade.

Again, thank you for your help and time

The file is similar to the normal defy one as far as I can tell that must have done it... So prob. faullt of different kernel. You could try to downgrade and use CM7 on froyo kernel.

I have change the kernel with THIS METHOD
after, try with WIUI 2.2.17: no network; then with update-cm-7.1.0-11-Defy-signed: no network, even when changing baseband.
So, if all that i have made is right, maybe it's not fault of kernel.
Other difference between MB526 and MB525?
You get 'no network' all the time, even with the sim from the right provider, also without the patch?
I think you're the fist to try on a defy+. Maybe look to the Russian fora...
edit: And can you tell me what your Baseband version is? (in settings > about)
edit2: If it is EPU93_U_00.59.01 Try it after installing RC1.5 from here: http://www.defy-cm.net/jordan-cm7.1-RC/

no network only with wrong provider: with the patch no code ask, but no network even with other baseband.
Yes it is EPU93_U_00.59.01 (cm7.2 working on defy+ as well)
with RC1.5 no boot after files install, stuck on google logo.
Now i have flash fix sbf to use 2.3.6 rom because of no battery problems and better battery life. So i'll wait and ask again to my operator.
Now baseband is EPU_U_00.60.03
Do you think if i'm able to put a official operator rom it will see that is no desimlocked? i don't have made backup of my official rom (newbie mistake ) so i have ask here if it's possible with this method.
Blocking by TI OMAP 3630
I have read this:
Blocking the Bootloader by TI OMAP 3630
Why and how is it locked Defy?
While Linux is Open Source Motorola keeps the Defy the locked bootloader. Why?
For commercial reasons of course: avoid too many warranty returns from sorcerer's apprentices who brické their phone, for example (although care is denied you still have to manage the folders!) But also the traders (who manage some of the guaranteed returns, but not that ... we shall see below).
So Motorola maintains bootoader of our favorite phone is not locked and ready to unlock the last views of Roma making the switch to SBF rootage and even more difficult. But the fact how this lock is it made?
Unlike other phones (other brands, but also other brand models *) easy to unlock, the Defy is equipped with a TI OMAP 3630 chip that manages its technology via "M-Shield technology 'in this block. So we did not do a software problem but rather a problem if one CPU is addressing this release.
This technology also manages the simlockage phone which also explains why the operators are far from favorable to the release of Defy.
No one arrived today to crack this lock: it should have the tool from Texas Instruments where he provided to authorized repairers to put the Motorola Defy mode "SE" (Systems Engineering) for this.
* These phones using Qualcomm chips or other, do not bénéfiecient techonologie the M-Shield and are much easier to unlock.

Wrong thread i think.
Have you try a wipe cache and data in stock recovery before rsdlite? see here how to do with Froyo
okay so iv had my tab for awhile now and had no need to root it since i used my phone for everything. iv been playing around on android for a bit now and before my milestone i had fun with windows mobile. so please do flame me as dumb and that i didnt look first. i see the bible for our tabs and that the root method doesnt work now. i used heimdall to flash a stock rooted ver of froyo and now it boots but i cant get past the activation screen. yes i have dont the vol up once vol down twice thing. it wont work and just sits on the screen. i can get past it. so now im about to go all the way back to stock and start over. if someone who is more familiar with the fourms then i am can post the links and steps i need to do to get back to a rooted tab that would be great and id be forever thankful. from then on im ok i bought that bootstrapper from the maket to save me time (plus i enjoy giving money to those who work hard for my free entertainment) oh btw should have said it first. i have the vzw i800 tab. thanks so much folks i really just want a working tab again. oh one last thing i have cm9 running ony my phone and love it...whats everyones thoughts on it for the tab?
once again thank you
so i get it this was a tall order and after getting everything working last night im up and runnning with a cwr rooted and on froyo....i wanna jump up to hc or cm9, or some kind of ics but i dont see much and the two i looked at and tried, the dl links are broke...so can anyone point me to the links of working hc or ics for a vzw tab please
really? no one?

i guess at this point i just need to make it ext 4. what vzw kernel is best for this? thanks for the replay
You don't need to make it ext4, you need a custom recovery so can flash ICS using CWM. The ICS zip will repartition and reformat anyway, so you have no need of converting to ext4.
You need a kernel with custom recovery (version 3.x or greater).
C.

im good then i have cm on it and i think its 3.0 i tried flashing 5.x with rom manager and t started acting funny till i rebooted the recovery. i tried to install cm9 but it told me there was a problem with the package and gave me a code 7 i think. maybe it was a bad dl. ill try and redownload right now and try again. the first time i did everything manually but this time i was lazy and bought the bootstapper. i should be good right? thanks for your help.
i just re dl it and checked the md5. everything was fine. tried to install it and gave me the same thing. error in sd card/cm9 blah blah blah.zip (status 7) this is the step im having problems with
Which cm9 you tried to flash.
Maybe the GSM one?
Better go to rootzwiki.com and look for jt1134's ICS built there.

going to that site now. i hope it works. im kind of pissed off. every rom i try the dl link is broken or it doesnt flash. im back to stock re rooted and did the bootstrap. i just wanna get off of froyo at this point.
sorry if I am leading you on a chase.
I am not a CDMA user, that is why I don't really know where you should get your CDMA build.
But I found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24986629&postcount=756
Go there, and find on 2nd line that says Alroger's Downloads.
That points to Alroger's external site.
He has a P1000CDMA build of the "TE4M version of CM9"
That will be your best bet.
jt1134 is also a TE4AM dev I think, or at least lots of his code in it.

no your not leading me to anywhere bad. its just a lack of upkeep on a old deivce its just harsh. im on that site you told me about and im finding a lot. im thankful youre helping me with this. do you know why im getting a error code (status 7) any and everytime i try flashing cm9? this is the nly things that stands in my way
from what I understand, error 7 is when the device you are flashing is not supported by the package.
Say earlier you tried to flash a p1000 rom into a cdma device.
I am almost convinced that if you get the right package, namely the one for cdma or "p1c" build, you should be able to flash it.
jt1134 is the most knowledgeable on CDMA CM9 builds.
yeah im on p1c builds and cdma builds....do you think its because im trying to go from froyo right to ics with out gb? should i flash cubbed in heimdall (3.2.x) before going to ics? or does it not matter on this device?
once again im so thankful for your help
which CWM version you have?
Apparently you need to have the latest 5.x.x ?
3.0...damn i didnt even think of that and i sould have thats whats going on with the photon right now. trying now thanks
that worked! thanks for the help

There should be no problem if you can switch on your bootloader (vol+ + power on).
The solution is in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982 first post, Method 2 (files available, which is not the case in Method 1.).
Do all steps exactly as written. Then you can flash any CM 7 or 9. But probably you have no way back to froyo.
At least I have tesed it.

But I had the same. And this method helped. You loose nothing if try.
Flash with RDSLite (it is eclair with CG5, then exact steps with CM7 and next flash. You will get kind of CM7 (here I also cleared private data from a system which somehow made the internal memory full), which you may stay with or change to any CM, MIUI, WIUI etc.
Ok, so you tried to flash another ROM and couldn't press bootloader. Which sbf did you flash to revive it?
Also read the whole OP of the threat posted before.
