These are the steps i took to get back to the Stock bell rom. I take no credit for this method, NFHimself made the scripts, and mods for deodexing.
This takes an hour at least.. Make sure your battery is FULLY charged, Do a backup first as well to save your sd card contents.. You have to do a factory reset after the process is complete.
1)reinstall a fresh sbf of the french 2.1.1 and login to motoblur. French sbf can be found in this thread, Close to the bottom of the page.
2) enable usb debugging.. menu, settings, applications, development, then check usb debugging
3) go to NFHimselfs deodex/mod thread here
4)download Version 9, and extract it to your computer
5)Run the menu.bat file
6) choose the root option. and follow the instructions. If it doesn't complete successfully, unroot and try again. Took me a couple times to get my phone rooted properly.
7) once root is complete, choose restore phone. This will automatically download the files needed to get you back to the stock rom. It will take a little bit of time to download, so have a drink or smoke or something.
The restore will take an hour or so to complete. Be patient.
I got to the point where it said waiting for phone to shutdown, so i pulled the battery and did it manually. Once my phone booted back up again, it was on the stock bell rom.
Thanks to all who helped me! Y2whisper and kieller from the support.motorola forums.
Don't forget to thank NFHimself.
NOTE: I had to do a factory reset to get the Market app back.
I managed to get the bell update with no problems!
right on I was wondering how I would get back to the stock Bell.....I'm running the French 2.1.1, so when the time comes I can sit back for an hour or so and bring the phone back to stock...........yaaaahoooo......
nate_benji were you on the french 2.1.1 before you did this?? cause I'm on 2.1.1 and I am rooted, just wondering if I have to do all over... flashing 2.1.1 again and root??? but I guess it can't hurt with a fresh install......guess I'm getting lazy in my old age...lol

Yes, i was on the french 2.1.1. The only reason i did a fresh install of the french 2.1.1 sbf is because the rooting method is a little different than using gingerbreak. I tried with a normal root, but it didn't work. NFHimself's mod/deodex application has the root option built in. That's what I used, and it worked well.
What's the benifit over the french 2.2.1 ???

The new update, I presume.
If I get bored between now and an international release or leak of GB then perhaps I'll give this a shot too. Thanks for sharing it, guys! Great work as always.

The benefit is you get the bell updates, who knows when the other carriers will release the gingerbread updates. Mind you bell is slow at releasing anything..

Thanks nate, then when the time comes that's exactly what I shall do......
The biggest benefit of this would probably be that when you do this it would be really hard to tell if you ever modded the phone. Also Bell is likely to get the Gingerbread update before people in Europe.
I am doing a restore and got a tar crc error and a error on restoring mmcblk0p3 - should i wait till it finish .....i don't like the the crc error..thanks 1 done cat /data/local... ! bus error shsu (no boot) failed to boot 2 ...starting rsd mode, reflashing now...anyone know why there is a crc fail..
Could it be possible to get a direct link to the French 2.2.1 sbf, this way everything needed is in one location?
Thanks

I am having this exact same issue. Is the mmcblk0p3 file that is included within the backup_OLYLA_U4_0.37.4.tar.gz that NFHimself posted possible corrupt?

I don't think so. i did it from a fresh flash of 2.1.1 and it worked fine. you just have to make sure you rooted using his scripts. that was a problem i was having using his app before i used these scripts.

I had that too i believe. Not sure why mmcblk03 failed, but all the rest passed for me. Did you re-sbf and try it again?

I updated the original post, with a link to another thread that has a list of all known atrix sbf's. The french one is close to the bottom of the list.
Is this the one you are referring to...
Branding: Retail France
Version: 2.1.1 Full
Android Version: 2.2.2
Bootloader Version: N/A
Webtop version: N/A
Requires RSD Lite 5.0.0
Requires Moto Android (De)packer 1.3 to edit.
As you opening post says french 2.2.1 and I cannot find that on the page you linked to.

Hi,
I removed partition 3 from the backup, it's your Motorola pds partition, it's not necessary to get back to stock, there are no sbf files that overwrite it. I also updated the atrix mods app to not reference partition 3.
Cheers!

Awesome! Thanks for creating the scripts, and the app. Made it possible to get me back to the stock bell rom, without a cwm backup. Now that reminds me, time to root, install cwm and do a backup!
Thanks again NFHimself..

hi all...I was about to commit suicide today because of a soft brick (I pulled out the battery while a recovery operation)...I got the "reading ODN fuse: 1" page and almost everything except for rds and fastboot were borked. I tried flashing the sbf again but it wasn't useful. Thus I found a full (italian) sbf and I restored using RDSLite 5.7. I got into recovery and flashed MROM but touchscreen was totally mad. I thought it was a rom-related issue so I restored the original full sbf again but I have this problem there too...Please Help Me...I don't want to send it to moto...not now
Try fastboot flash pds, it been fixed my reversed touch position problem.
If you did not have your backup pds file, search "pdsfix" for guide.

I did it yesterday! thank you very much! Now I'm in trouble because the last full-sbf flash I did with RDSLite ended with a FAIL but the phone actually works normally...I don't know if i should flash the full sbf again and reset the phone for the last time or if there is any way to understand if the phone is ready and fully functional...
PS how can I backup the current pds? and what about imei etc? RDS doesn't recognise them
thank you all !

I already forgot what RDSlite will say, sorry.

thank you! I think I'll do a full wipe via fastboot and than a new RDSLite attempt (hoping in a PASS)...then I'll repeat everything and flash a custom rom...
if anyone also remembers what RDSLite should say when a device is connected it would be very useful thank you!

thanks I download now
Thanks very much Brooklyn2001 for that S2109a image. Would you possibly have any advice as to how to get it flashed over to the device? I have working CWM on the tablet and can boot into that, but the CWM does not recognize the external sdcard and I am not sure how to get the device reflashed without CWM being able to find the image you uploaded.
Can you offer any advice on how to do that? Tablet does not appear to be seen when issue ADB shell or Fastboot commands on my PC, so at the moment I am stuck with a device that boots to LENOVO logo and then stops.
Thanks for any advice you can offer!!

Don't know what happened with your cell dude ....
Try asking a local repairer.
Got a few questions, will be getting my 816 this weekend....
Mine will be the Malaysian variant, which is a single sim version with sense 6 (just checked with the display unit at the telco show room here).
1. Will TWRP be compatible with sense 6? I read so far most of the recovery images has been tested with sense 5.5.
2. After unlocking the bootloader, is it possible to relock the bootloader for warranty purposes?
3. Can this dual sim rom be used with single sim device? I would like to get a backup rom in case anything goes wrong, unless htc has an application similar to Sony's SEUS.
Thanks for your time!:fingers-crossed:

What is current version? If it's above 1.85 then you can't flash the above RUU. While you're S-on you can only flash an ruu that is at least at your current software version or newer.
