1) Flash the phone with the stock ULYFR_U4_1.2.6 SBF file
2) Obtain root and sideloading via aRoot
3) Update phone with the OTA OLYFR_U4_1.5.7
Once OLYFR_U4_1.5.7 is installed, you will NOT be rooted, but you will have sideloading. This should suffice for some users until root is achieved.
I personally think the OLYFR_U4_1.5.7 is worth losing root for a bit. In my own experience, the update has smoothed out the Atrix noticeably. Only time will tell.
If this helps anyone, please let me know.

My question is will the update still be there today if we flash back to 1.2.6 and reroot with aroot to get the update because I'd hate to not be able to get the update again. Like you stated, it seems to be more stable as well running a lot smoother.

I flashed back to 1.2.6 after upgrading and don't get it anymore (not even through "System updates" through Settings). So idk, wait til someone's able to extract it out of the update.zip or something I guess.
EDIT: Nvm, just tried it again and got the message (through Settings)
I got it a few times. Haven't needed to try again.

This is entirely unnecessary, as you can just install apps through adb still on 1.5.7.
Just run:
Code:
adb.exe install <package>.apk
Where <package> is the name of the app you want to install. Reflashing back to stock to install the apps is a waste of time.
You are absolutely right, if someone wants to use ADB.
Sideloading independent of a computer is important to me personally.

Amazon apps on beta update?
is there a way to sideload the apps from amazon appstore?
Haven't used Amazon. Does it have it's own installer or do you just download .apk files to you phone/sd card?

Not sure if you would receive the update via OTA with that. If you were to flash that SBF followed by aRoot, would you receive the update? If you can confirm anyone receiving the update on 1.5.2, then you SHOULD be golden.
I did the update. Lost root. But can still sideload.

Wrote a simple BAT file to automate to process a little...
Basically...
1) Extract the files to a directory and put the apk(s) that you wish to install/sideload in that same directory.
2) Connect your device and make sure usb debugging is enabled and all usb drivers are installed.
3) Drap and drop an APK file onto the BAT file, and it should install sucessfully onto your device. Command window will return "Sucess" if all goes well.
This is a really simple BAT file, i'm not all that great at coding or writing bat files, but I hope this helps some people. The devs might be able to write a better script. Hopefully someone will crack this update soon and figure out how to root!
Right on man! This will be great for folks when they are installing .apk files through ADB.

I have the exact same Kernel that u have in ur pic.....not sure why ....perhaps they got more than one leaked test version ...
Change log- not quite sure. Quite a bit for me coming from 2.1.
I had to go back and redo su.
I also had to uninstall rom manager, run bootstrap and then reinstall rom manager in orderto load the new tranquility rom by p3 via recovery.
I am not having any market problems.
I had to reinstall adobe flash after tranquility rom. Love having flash now.
Good times and enjoying it.

That's correct, kind of. Kernel and all can be updated through a correctly signed update.zip from Motorola not just an sbf. P3 and company have the full update. As in Kernel, system, the works. They aren't releasing it due to C&D worries, so we, the lowly, only get the new /system files. There definitely is a new kernel in that update, whether it contains any new changes that are worthwhile is a good question.

ANNOUCEMENT 05/18/2011 @8:33am: This mod is in BETA status. This means that if you do not know what you are doing, you should not be installing this. Knowing what you are doing includes, but is not limited to the following:
Working knowledge of ADB
Understanding of CWM and it's backup/restore functions
Understanding of what an SBF is and how to flash it
If you do not, at the very least, meet those requirements please do not install this onto your phone. This is a beta test, and I will not be supporting users who say, "tried to install but now my phone says red light and its really hot how do i make a phone text?"
I'm really not trying to be a **** about it, but these kinds of things should be researched and learned before you install ANY mods on your phone, let alone a beta release. There's plenty of available tutorials on all of these things.
UPDATE 05/12/2011 @11:31pm: b0.2 release. Fixed most of the bugs, combined the webtop fix into the full install. Webtop should work properly now, with LXTerminal icon in the top status bar. I prefer it that way, but you can invoke awn-manager from lxterminal and add a link to the bottom bar if you want. This should be safe to apply over b0.1. I'm changing nomenclatures. All mods like this are henceforth known as P-ROMs. And you will like it. I have spoken.
UPDATE 05/12/2011 @7pm:*FIXED* Made a patch for webtop breaking, install after the main zip. You can install both at the same time. Will merge the two files later tonight. File posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13729463&postcount=39
UPDATE 05/12/2011: *FIXED* Webtop breaks when you install this. It's recoverable, so if you don't use it that often or at all, don't worry about it. I should have a patch by end of day.
Stayed late at work and had some extra time, so I got around to putting this together. This is tested and is working perfectly on my device.
Quick feature list:
Deodexed
Custom boot logo
AppWidgetPicker (better widget management)
Enables sideloading
Ad blocking
Installs AT&T tethering APN
Enables desktop flash content, i.e. Hulu (You MUST install flashplayer 10.2 from market prior to installing the ROM. You must also use a browser that lets you set your user agent to Desktop.)
Clears Dalvik-cache
Removes the AT&T bloat
Disables background media scanning (speeds phone up a LOT)
Webtop without need for dock (through micro-hdmi cable)
Preferred install location for apps
Disables SD card mount sound
Enables ADB to run as root (still need further testing on this, not sure exactly how this is supposed to function)
Enables Google location services (does not send private information or drain your battery, it just allows apps to use cell location as opposed to GPS if a location is needed)
Lowers delay when placing a call (1 second as opposed to 2.5 which was just obnoxiously long)
Increases wifi scan interval
Decreases screen activation delay from proximity sensor
Increase RAM available to dalvik VM
Adds lxterminal shortcut to webtop, allows webtop customization
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS BETA. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. CONSIDER THIS A PUBLIC BETA TEST. PLEASE REPORT ANY ISSUES YOU HAVE HERE.
THERE ARE NO SCREENSHOTS THIS IS NOT A THEME.
Ok fine, have a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/syjpU.jpg
Read the disclaimer? Good. Download link is here. Install with CWM.
Awesome work. I was waiting for this. I like your rom more than ginger blur ones coz I know I'm gonna re-theme them anyway. Thanks again, I will try and report back.

"1 second as opposed to 2.5 which was just obnoxiously long" LOL - agreed though.
Nice work!
I'm assuming this is still installed the old fashion way right?... I mean can I install it over the latest version of gingerblur? Or do I have to flash back to sbf 1.26 first then update via OTA before gaining root and then install it through tenfars recovery?
cwm = clockwork mod = tenfars recovery for the purpose of this discussion

You can try, but I don't recommend or condone the practice. It WILL remove any theme you have currently though, and it will replace any customized system apps with the stock versions. Just FYI.
The call delay fix is:
Code:
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=1000
in build.prop

hmm, we were discussing it with dark. Maybe it would work if somone woudl flash a fresh 1.8.3, than skip motoblur with that combination: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027994
than obtain root, go to system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.service.blur/ opean defaults.xml and edit the <string name="blur.service.ws.masterCloud">master-blur.svcmot.com</string> line to this <string name="blur.service.ws.masterCloud">master-sdc1.svcmot.com</string> than reboot, than go into gallery or something from motoblur, than click sign into motoblur and create a new account there. if it works, try going to settings -> about phone -> system updates. if it gets you the update, try clicking download, if it will download (unfortunately dark got an error), try to copy the update.zip file to your sdcard, probably you could use this way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041572
People will say why dont i do that, well the thing is im on 1.8.3 gingerblur with already signed it motoblur, which it makes kinda impossible for me to do that, i would have to sbf flash in order to do that, but than i woudl have to fix my wifi again, which would kind of take ages....
This could mean the update is coming early July, perhaps.
Doesnt this mean the update was downloaded onto your phone?
unfortunately no, the update wouldn't download due to unspecified error.
I noticed this yesterday but couldn't figure out where to change the address at. The stock rom definitely points to a different ip address than the HKTW does.
That's probably the dev server.

I just tried rooting my new Droid Bionic with Pete's Motorola Root Tool, works fine.
To root your Droid Bionic:
Step 1. Set your phone as "Charge Only".
Step 2. Make sure USB Debugging is checked on under Settings->Applications->Development.
Step 3. Connect your phone to your computer via USB Cable.
Step 4. For Windows, you need to install Motorola drivers.
Download drivers here:
http://androiddrivers.net/motorola-android-drivers/download-motorola-droid-bionic-windows-drivers/
Step 5. Download Pete's Motorola Root Tools here:
http://www.psouza4.com/bionic/
Step 6. Unzip Pete's tools and run the exe file for Windows and similar for Mac and Linux.
You can donate to Pete at psouza4.com and xda user djrbliss, I only used their tools and it worked.
Also see how to tether for free after you root, here.

Just rooted mine without a problem thanks.
How long did it take for your phones to root? Mine seems to not be going past the "SEARCHING FOR THE PHONE" message that first pops up...

Did you install the appropriate moto drivers first?

Yes. I installed the drivers linked above for 64 bit Windows 7.
With your phone connected to the PC did you switch the phone to "charge only" mode? before starting? You can verify this by using the pulldown menu in your phone and selecting the ongoing USB connection, then "charge only"
worked! thanks! I forgot to change directory...Thanks
Anybody try Bootstrap yet?

I should have waited... I rooted mine this morning with the old method of entering all the commands manually. Oh well, at least its rooted. Now if only I could figure out a complete list of apps to be deleted without causing force close issues.

I just got a notice on my phone to update to 5.5.893. I should wait to apply forever root first, right?

If you want root!
Hmmm, I just checked & didn't have an option to update. "Your device is up to date."
Same here no update

Just checked, no update available for me. I have been keeping stock so far. If i get to .893, I can SBF back and then do the foreverroot technique, correct?

you can but it is easier if you do the foreverroot first then install the update
This for real? Anyone else see this update? I can't believe that there would not be more press on this if was actually rolling out.
No. We would see documentation from vzw. The op is either confused or lying.

It's Real!
The screen capture of the dialog is at:

Funny thing when I did:
find /cache -mmin -5
I found the files were actually named:
/cache/Blur_Version.5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip
/cache/Blur_Version.5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US.crc
I have copied these files to my sdcard, if anyone has a place to host them let me know!
From my logcat
10-30 17:59:19.468 757 1867 I WSBase : doRequest(): url: http://ws-cloud2-sdc100.blurdev.com....5.5.886.XT875.Verizon.en.US:-143928019&ssl=0
Interesting. Perhaps a vzw push mistake? Usually we see documentation before these go out.

I've tried to install twice and failed
Just to let you know, I have downloaded and attempted to install the update twice.
Once, foolishly hoping I could just update R3Blur3d, and again from close to stock.
This last time, I attempted the update from within Clockwork Recovery, and it gave me some details, the automatic update didn't:
assert failed for the file /system/build.prop, rebuild.fingerprint.
To me, it looks like, if the /system/build.prop file is modified, then this OTA won't go through.
I'm going to make sure, I'm as close to stock as possible and try again!
You would have to flash these in stock recovery on a forever rooted stock phone. Don't use clockwork.

Very Interesting
Once my phone was set totally back to stock, my phone said that there is no update available. It still says that it will not install the update zip file I have due to a problem with the build.prop file.
Originally, I was running R3Blur3rd, which had system files based upon 5.5.893. So, I'm not sure what this update notification meant.
OTA 5.5 Update is being rolled out in batches in an attempt to prevent another data outage like they had when the iPhone 4s rolled out. Fyi

Which is being rolled out? 5.5.893 or 5.6.893?

When you get this flashed, please post a screen shot of your about phone settings. The 5.5 file is much larger than 5.6. The 5.6 file has a new LTE radio and webtop app nothing more. So technically, you should receive both 5.5 & 5.6 OTA.
Thanks
