[Q] What is the right way to update to 2.3.4?

I have found a lot of information on the forums about updating to 2.3.4 and ending up with a hard brick and am getting a little scared about it. I do think most of the bricks have to do with unlocking the bootloader (at least that's what I understood from the forums).
I currently have a rooted Atrix running 4.1.83. I don't have any other mods installed and I haven't unlocked my bootloader. At this point I just want to update my phone to 4.5.91 and have it be rooted. I don't care about unlocking the bootloader at all.
Which method is best for me? Can I just install the OTA update thru the notification I'm getting on my phone? Or do I need to follow one of the complex processes listed on the forums here. Once again, I don't really need to unlock my bootloader. I just need to be rooted after I update.
Thanks in advance.

if you dont want the bootloader unlocked just OTA..
then root here..

From what I've read ..no. You have to OTA from a clean state ..meaning ..no mods. You may soft brick. Hopefully someone will correct me if im wrong..

I was rooted with webtop mod on 1.83 (no Pudding), and there was no soft brick - the install wouldn't get past verification and never actually modified the system. Rebooting after the failure would bring me right back to the previous state.
I ended up flashing 1.83 SBF, upgrading OTA, rooting, then restoring user apps from Titanium.
YMMV.

It seems, so far anyway, that if you OTA you get a new bootloader that will hard brick you if you try to revert to a previous version. DO NOT flash any sbf files that have a locked bootloader if you OTA! If you start with 4_1.8.3, unlock your bl with pudding, and install a KennethPenn or similar non-OTA based 2.3.4, you keep the original bootloader and can flash back to Froyo.
I have not seen it spelled out this clearly, so I hope this helps someone looking to upgrade. I recommend sticking to non-OTA versions for now.

After OTA update, what happen???
I have my Atrix rooted, and have sideloading. After downloading update (OTA), & start to instal the update, this appear to my screen.
Is this what called "brick"? What should I do now? Flash it?

Could u be more specific, please? I try replace the batery (pull & put it back) & it run again, normaly, with the previous version.
Just want to know why, the file was corrupt or something. So I can prevent on my next try.
Sorry for my bad English. Thank anyway

Why on gods green earth would you ota update and eliminate the possibility of unlocking your bootloader? Just plain dumb if you ask me. Maybe at this point you see no purpose in it but I assure you that down the road you will wish you had not ran the ota. You don't have to worry about bricking your phone if the process is done correctly.

Best thing to do --- currently 1.8.3

Okay I want to update to gingerbread from what I have currently 1.8.3. Should I just do the OTA update and then root and unlock the bootloader? As I understand it, this will disallow me to ever revert back to 1.8.3 and below. Smart or not smart?

Do you actually want to unlock your bootloader?

Yes ... I think I am just asking the downside, besides the obvious, to using the OTA update instead of another version.

Do you have any P-Roms installed, like GladiAtrix, or GingerBlur?
What about any hacks, do you have the Webtop hack, or anything like that?

Doing the OTA if you already know that you want to unlock your bootloader is putting yourself at unnecessary risk of hard bricking by flashing an SBF lower than 2.3.4

Go ahead and unlock now and then install recovery and flash one of the gingerbread ROMs in the dev thread. I don't think it's a good idea to OTA update if you plan on unlocking because of the risk of hard-bricking your device.

don't bother with the OTA.
unlock your bootloader, install CWM, and install the CWM gingerbread file by kennethpenn. it's the official version with certain tweaks and mods. that's all you need to do.

I already have CWM installed ... would I have to do it again after unlocking the bootloader? I don't know why I would have to but just checking

You would have to install CWM for unlocked devices. Thats about the only reason.

It depends on the version of cwm you have installed, the one from romracer is ideal as the backup and restore functions work correctly.
If you have cwm installed then there is no reason to do anything with an sbf really, all of the released versions are available as flashable zip files, just like the roms that are out

Upgrade Question
Hi,
I also have 4.1.8.3
2.2.2
Baseband N_01.77.15P
Kernal 2.6.32.9
Gladiatrix 3 b0.2
Initially used Tenfar's CWM. However, I did click to install the CWM from Rom Manager when it became available. I'm not sure if this would have messed anything up.
I'm trying to upgrade to one of the newer ROMS, such as Cherry3.14, what is the best way to upgrade?
I use Titanium Backup. Can I simply download Cherry3.14 from Rom Manager and do that install? Are there kernel issues I need to address first? I have read through all the noob stuff, but am slightly confused as to where exactly in the process I need to continue.
Ideally, I would like to be able to restore all my apps, contacts, settings, etc.
Thanks,
Chris

dont use rom managers cwm, it does not function correctly last I knew. romracers version is the go-to version for the atrix right now.
other than that, follow the instructions for the respective rom and you should be fine
as far as transfering info from one rom to the next I believe the best option for that is titanium backup (correct me if I am wrong on that someone)

Thank you diedemus.
So I should download romracer's version and install that on top prior to following the instructions in the Cherry3.14 post?
I won't have any issues relating to wrong kernal, baseband, etc?

Hmmm, wonder why no one has mentioned fruit cakes yet? I'd say look in to that first. That's how I went from 1.8.3 to 4.5.91, couldn't have been easier.

Sorry for the double post, browser crashed.

I did mention fruitcakes, they are the cwm flashable base releases

You should be fine, if the rom lists a kernel in the features it will already have it. Otherwise they should have the kernel and radio it works with/ needs linked in the first couple posts

Root questions

Hi all,
I pre ordered my 16gb nexus 7 last week.
And I am thinking I will root it as soon as it arrives, but I have the following worries/questions:
If I root and unlock the bootloader, will I still get ota updates?
If I root and unlock the bootloader, is it possible to re-root it and re-lock the bootloader for warranty purposes?
Is the a large chance of bricking it by rooting it? Or is it quite safe now?
Is the any real reason why I shouldn't root it?
Sorry for all these questions, but I am currently using a rooted galaxy s2, and that comes with the bootloader pre-unlocked, so I am not familiar with locked bootloader lol
Thanks in advance for any help
Cheers corey

Yes you will be still able to get OTA updates, though you may will lose root after an OTA. It's only when you begin flashing alternate recoveries, kernels, ROMs etc. will you lose the ability to receive OTAs.
I'm not sure what you mean by re-root again (maybe you mean unroot??). But from the Nexus trend, you will be able to relock the bootloader after unlocking it (though I don't see a point unless you're about to return it). Regarding the unroot thing, all you have to do is just reflash the stock ROM or just remove the su binary and the su management application (SuperSU or Superuser).
It's relatively safe to say that you can root it without bricking your tablet. These days, it's pretty hard to actually brick your device unless you do something absolutely moronic i.e. flash the wrong bootloader.
Well, to answer your question, do you need root? If you don't need it nor do you understand what its purpose is, don't. Some uses include being able to access /system/ to maybe delete bloatware (there shouldn't be any on a Nexus device), some apps may get further functionality e.g. some apps might intentionally auto-turn on your GPS when you've lost your phone etc.
Clockwork recovery is totally separate to root. A recovery is used to flash things e.g. root, ROMs, kernels etc. When CWR is released for the Nexus 7, all you have to do is run "fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img" (well that's what I'd run since I'm using Linux).

Hi,
Yes I did mean unroot lol, I was typing it from my phone lol.
Ok thanks heaps, I will root it as soon as it arrives lol.
And yes I know all about root, I have a galaxy s2 which has been rooted a year, and I spend most of my day flashing mods and roms lol. I just wasn't familiar with locked bootloader.
But you said that if I flash recoveries I won't receive ota updates, so if I flash Cwm recovery, will I not receive ota updates?
Thanks heaps for all your help

Ahh righteo, a locked bootloader just means you can't flash anything. And yes, you are correct, if you flash any recovery that isn't stock and matches with the build of Android, you will lose the ability to receive OTAs.
No worries .

A little search would go a long way because this has been answered a million times already, and posting it again isn't going to make the devs find a solution any quicker. No, there's no way to root the latest update.

Should I root using your guide, Voodoo protect/unroot, update OTA (still having stock recovery), and then restore root? Should I have Voodoo installed on my SDCard rather than on the phone? Thanks for all your help!

Just read this on Android Authority and was wondering if it would work. Great to hear this. Again, users got REAL lucky on this one considering this wasn't created specifically for this phone, but for the general population of unpatched 4.4.2 kernels.

Word of warning, if you used my UNIVERSAL script to flash 183 onto your phone, you must either manually flash the TZ partition or use my KEEP DATA script before rooting an unlocking else it will fail.

BTW, I just received an email notification from Motorola stating there is another soak test coming, so definitely root and unlocked your phones NOW and I can't stress that more than enough or else, you can kiss root and unlocking good-bye, especially if this is an 4.4.3 update. Once 4.4.3 comes out, /system is no longer writeable and things will get really ugly.
So, root and then unlock your phones on the 4.4.2 KK OTA before the next one comes out or you will be sorry.
BTW, if you're so worried about voiding your warranty, once you root, you've voided your warranty and there is a root checker built into the device, so they can tell if you've rooted or not, so if you're going to root, you might as well unlock the bootloader.

The warranty concern is nonsense. PLENTY of people sent back unlocked phones and no one ever complained. Yes, the soak emails were known about last night which is why we've been trying like hell to get this message out to everyone to get it done NOW. It's an almost certainty that the TZ partition will be secured again. And root will almost assuredly be patched since it was patched in the linux kernel on june 3rd. Unlocking is the surefire way of keeping root forever, and getting to play with new roms which is awesome. Plus, don't like kitkat? Downgrade with my UNIVERSAL script. (Yes, the one that's causing some problems for people unlocking. LOL). We can not stress this enough...NOW is the time to unlock before it's too late. I can't even begin to describe how lucky you all are.

One question. After I unlock the bootloader and they send out 4.4.3, will it be possible to take the update OTA?

Stop that. They're not going to relock the bootloader. However, screw OTA's. Wait for the FXZ to leak and use my RSD Script Generator to create a KEEP DATA or UNIVERSAL script and flash that with RSD. Flash custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and flash supersu zip and be done with the whole thing. Forget unrooting and trying to make the OTA work. Too much effort. LMAO

See what you've done? These poor people are now paranoid about bootloader relocking. LOL! They won't relock it. It's physically blowing an eFuse to do the unlock. Relocking would be extremely problematic and cause more problems than they'd solve. And given the likelihood that this was "accidentally" done (cough cough) in the first place, there's an almost 0 chance of relocking.

Good to hear. I want everyone with these phones to do so. This is a great opportunity. No one should be sitting on the fence this time.

Indeed great news. Too bad my XT926 is not by me right now(being used by my father) and I can get my hand on it till september.
My XT926 is bootloader locked and has JB 4.2. build is 9.18.94 I guess. I have my phone rooted and since then using safestrape 3.12 and has stock rom and RageHD ROM on it. I can remember last time trying to install OTA the update process failed even I have used voodoo root keeper to hide the root.
So now my questions:
1. Is the right procedure for me: Remove Safestrape->Install OTA KK->using methods described here for KK for unlocking?
2. What was the reason the OTA update failed? Safestrape?
3. Can I uninstall Safestrape through it's "uninstall" function?
4. After uninstall if I choose OTA update, will it be the current KK which contains this old exploit for bootloader unlocking?
5. If I wait till september to do it myself, if there is another OTA out which patches this exploit again, can I fake a Moto web site and pointing it to the current KK (183), lets say change the host file on XT926. Is this even possible?

From the description I see that the script will flash a 760MB file, the KK 4.4.2 (KDA20.62-10.1). So I won't be afaid that when I wait for some months even if Moto patched their OTA for this bootloader exploit, the unpatched bootloader is still in (KDA20.62-10.1), which I assume is build 183, so I will still be able to use this exploit, as long as my phone is in JB (4.2) state?

From the description I see that the script will flash a 760MB file, the KK 4.4.2 (KDA20.62-10.1). So I won't be afaid that when I wait for some months even if Moto patched their OTA for this bootloader exploit, the unpatched bootloader is still in (KDA20.62-10.1), which I assume is build 183, so I will still be able to use this exploit, as long as my phone is in JB (4.2) state?
