This guide will help you to unlock your atrix bootloader and flash gingerbread 2.3.4
.
You must update your phone to the latest firmware before doing this guide!
If you just bought the Atrix it is not up to date out of the box!

*att 1.8.3 required. 3 bricks confirmed from users not being on 1.8.3 before unlocking the bootloader!
* changed the thread to have the 1.8.3 pudding full rom instead of just the bootloader to have a higher success rate. July 14, 2011 10:00pm PST*
If you do not have version 5.1.0 of the motorola drivers uninstall your drivers and install the ones from this post.
Warning!!! After unlocking your bootloader do not flash any OTA updates or sbf roms after unlocking!
You can and will hardbrick your device!
MAKE SURE your BATTERY has a FULL CHARGE before your attempt to unlock or flash anything!
Flashing from a laptop? Use the back ports!

FAQ
Q: Does this void my warranty?
A: Yes
Q: why after I flash CWM recovery do i get a android guy instead of the recovery menu?
A: Read this post for the solution. We said do not apply ota updates!
Q: How can I downgrade my atrix after I unlock?
A: Flash one of the FruitCake Roms
Q: Can I brick my atrix?
A: Yes they're is always that chance. Here are some simple things to remember that can save your phone from a hard brick.
1. Always make sure you have a full charge prior to flashing.
2. Once you are free of motorola stay that way.
3. Do not flash sbf files to restore to stock if you mess up. reflash the CWM zip or fastboot images
4. Do not flash ota updates.
3. After you unlock the only time you should ever have to use rsdlite again is to flash a radio.
4. moto-fastboot and cwm are the primary ways to flash a rom.
5. Again stop flashing with rsd lite after you unlock your bootloader.
6. update to the latest offical ota updates before unlocking.
Q: Why doesn't my mss/smms/data/etc work now
A: Read this thread on fixing your APN's
*More To be posted here when users have more questions.
Thanks and comments
I was getting tired of helping users in IRC and decided to create this thread to make the complete process easier to understand.
I wish to thank everyone of the dev's at xda atrix for making all of these solutions.
Thanks the2dcour, eval, unknown, edgan, eval, kennethpenn, sogarth, designgears, tenfar, Ronaldo9 and my girl friend Aubrey Strand for dealing with my flashing addiction. If I missed anyone please send me a pm and I will add you to this list of dev's that need credit in this thread.

Thanks for this! It's always way more helpful when somebody takes all the various threads and information and consolidates it into one thread.
Maybe as questions are asked, edit the original post to include a FAQ section with all the questions and answers....this way, the same **** isn't being asked 25,000 times.

Well done. I concur that it was probably needed.
Great job. I seriously needed this Sunday/Monday after I went out and upgraded my Captivate to the Atrix. It took quite a while to compile all the information scattered out there to get the job done.
One thing I would add, which was driving me crazy, once you install the drivers, you need to reboot the computer, otherwise RSD Lite will not recognize the phone. I think this is for Windows XP only.

I would like to add to this thread. I am unlocked with Ken's 2.3.4 Rom on my atrix, but it was very frustrating to get because of one prerequisite step- Tenfar's CWM.
Since all developers are using the CWM as a prerequisite, someone needs to write a clear guide on how to get it. I had to read through that entire thread, and ask for help to successfully flash it.
It was just aggravating to go through that much for a supposedly minor step. It took me 24 hours! BULLSH!T.

Appreciate all the help testing! Will keep this thread around if more issues are encountered.

Thanks everybody, especially PirateGhost!
New official thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20926830
Goal:
Working on making kernel flashing on the HTC Vivid / Holiday a few steps easier/simpler!
Background:
The HTC unlock method has been out for the last 6 months on the HTC EVO 3D. We've developed some work around methods to make things simpler for both the developers and the users who are stuck using the HTC unlock method.
How:
Fact for EVO 3D and theory for Vivid: The HTC unlock method only allows write access to the kernel (boot partition) in either fastboot mode or the normal android mode.
This means a custom kernel can only be loaded in two modes, either through fastboot or while in the standard Android mode.
Tool:
Flash Image GUI is an application I wrote to load the kernel and modules while in standard Android mode. This eliminates the need for using fastboot which requires a computer and will eliminate the need for using the Windows dependent .bat files for automating the fastboot flashing process. This will also eliminate the need to reboot into fastboot mode.
Current Status:
An updated Flash Image GUI code to support the HTC Vivid device but need a few testers to verify it all works properly on their devices!
Testing Location:
Either post back in this thread if you're able to help or join us on IRC - irc.freenode.net #gen-dev
Testing Steps:
Would recommend joining the irc channel for more detailed assistance but if you'd prefer to test and post in this thread, here are the steps:
**Wild Child told me there is no kernel backup support yet**
Stock Kernel Signed - http://w1z4rd.net/boot.img (Thanks IanWizard)
Stock Kernel Unsigned - http://joeykrim.com/evo3d/files/boot-unsigned-holiday.img
Skip straight to Step 5. The above links can be used to restore the kernel back to 100% stock.
1) Downloading clockworkmod recovery for your device to your local desktop
2) fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img
3) Make a nandroid of all partitions (will need this in case there are any issues)
4) Reboot into normal android mode
5) Install Flash Image GUI - http://joeykrim.com/evo3d/files/FlashImageGUI.apk
6) Download a kernel to flash - list provided below
7) Push kernel .zip file to /sdcard (either usb mount the device or adb push c:\downloads\kernel.zip /sdcard/kernel.zip
8) Open Flash Image GUI - make a note of the kernel version displayed at the top of the application
9) Click browse and select the kernel .zip file from the sdcard
10) Flash the Image
**11) Reboot
12) Check the kernel version to see if the process worked (Either open Flash Image GUI and kernel version information will be at the top or Menu->Setting->About Phone -> Software Version -> More.
**If you're interested in testing the flashing of a kernel and ROM combination, at step 11, reboot into the standard recovery mode, where ClockworkMod should be loaded and flash the ROM .zip file
Steps to restore previous kernel before testing
1) fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img
2) Restore Nandroid created in previous section step 3
Kernels to Test Flash:
Thanks to Dodgejcr for the stock vivid kernels for testing!
Stock Kernel boot.img zip with modified kernel version to verify flash worked properly
Stock Kernel anykernel .zip with modified kernel version to verify flash worked properly
PirateGhost Telstra boot.zip - This *probably* requires the associated ROM Raider .zip to be loaded. Don't flash this kernel unless you're also flashing the ROM .zip.
Thanks for the support and willingness to test!
awesome. i just went from stock rooted to my rom using this tool.
might i suggest a 'reboot to recovery for rom flashing' button? that would complete this little project, i think.
Good idea man. I'll surely add this to the superguide once a few more people test it. Less steps is always good.

You are still gonna keep the ROMs and kernals separate for people that would rather do it from adb/recovery right? Cause I've had terrible luck trying to take shortcuts using batches, programs and the like.

the beauty of this tool is that you dont use batches and programs on your computer
its all on the phone and will boot you to recovery to flash the rom you want (as soon as he gets all the bugs worked out. im just the guinea pig here, inputting little value)
I've have been able to flash a kernel in recovery. I was using the first compile i think. First step I did was reboot recovery from advanced then I wiped dalvik and flashed the zip containing the kernel. It seemed to work anyways.

Howdy y'all!
I just compiled a proper version of ClockworkMod recovery 5.5.0.4 off of the ICS branch of CyanogenMod.
It supports backing up boot images (I have heard that the image that is being flashed now doesn't support backing that up), and in the near future will support recovery chargemode.
This repository will hopefully contain in the near future a semi-working copy of CyanogenMod 9 also, but there's no guarantees on that one
So, without further ado:
What is this?
This is ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 and the files necessary to build it yourself.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How do I use it?
You must first be unlocked with HTCDev.com (there is an excellent guide over there, just click on the Unlock Bootloader button and it'll walk you through)
Once you're unlocked, download the prebuilt image below, and do the following (in the same directory you used to unlock your phone):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <path/to/prebuilt-image-you-downloaded.img>
You need to replace the stuff in brackets with the path to the img file you downloaded from here...
Alternate Installation Method (ph39img)
Much easier installation once unlocked with HTCDev...
Simply download the ph39img.zip I have linked to in the downloads section, and put it on your external SD card.
Reboot your phone into HBOOT, and allow the update. Then you've got clockwork installed super easy, no computer needed!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How is this different from the ClockworkMod image that's floating around here?
Truth be told, I haven't tried the other version yet-- but I have been told that it doesn't back up boot.img, and has a few other bugs.
Also, this version has /sdcard mapped to the external SD card as opposed to the internal SD card. This is a safety feature to prevent losing backups in case your device becomes inaccessible. All backups should be to an external storage medium (even on your desktop, it's a good practice to not backup your hdd to the same device )
I'm sure mine has bugs too, but I'm posting the source so y'all can laugh at me

Tips and Tricks (what works, and what doesn't)
Please read the following-- the HTCDev unlock comes with it's own disadvantages and risks...
The HTCDev unlock adds the word "**UNLOCKED**" to your HBOOT screen. Even if you put your phone to stock with a RUU and re-lock the phone, your phone will show "**RELOCKED**" when booted to the bootloader.
At this time, I am unsure if AT&T will refuse warranty claims if they see that text. Just remember: if you unlock, there may not be any way back to complete stock any time soon.
Another disadvantage of the HTCDev unlock: ClockworkMod recovery CANNOT flash kernels. You must use JoeyKrim's kernel flasher ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20926830 )or fastboot to flash kernels. This includes Nandroid backups.
If you back up your phone and apply a new ROM and kernel, you will have to fastboot flash the old boot.img back or use JoeyKrim's kernel flasher before switching ROMs.
If you flash a ROM, make sure to read the instructions with the ROM. Every ROM developer has a different method of flashing the kernel-- some come with a script to run, and others just give you the files to flash. Please read what they have to say before posting here with a complaint
Not seeing your rom .zips on your SD card, or having trouble restoring a backup?
This version of ClockworkMod has the external SD card set as primary. This is to avoid the problem of "my phone died, and I can't access my backups".
To solve this issue, simply put your ROMs or whatnot on your external SD card. In the future, I may look into how hard it is to add a internal/external SD switcher to clockwork, but for now the safest default is the external SD.
Sorry about that!
Some rom.zip's don't work...
This may be because they're using an old version of the update-binary in their .zip file. Contact your ROM maintainer and ask for an updated version
If you are a ROM developer, here's the updated "update-binary". Drop it in your META-INF/com/google/android directory in your ZIP and update your format() commands properly...

HELP! I CANT GET INTO RECOVERY! *new!
If you find yourself unable to get into CWM (i.e. the screen flashes some text, then reboots immediately), just boot to fastboot (hboot -> fastboot), then issue "fastboot erase cache" on your PC.
Then you should be able to boot into ClockworkMod. After you're in there, make sure to format /cache to fix the problem.
This issue will be fixed soon, I'll add some intelligence to the kernel to not bother rebooting to fsck a partition if it's marked 'dirty' or unmountable. Stock recovery is supposed to fsck the partitions if they're dirty/broken, but CWM doesn't bother, and the kernel gets easily confused.

Thanks for giving this looong post a read!
Good luck!
Shoot I'll give it a shot. Flashing now. Will edit this post after its been tested.
Edit: Short glance review, I know a lot of this is already stated/known but just posting it anyways
So firstly, I'm still getting no confirmation when I flash images (whether it be recovery or kernal) but again, I think thats from me using a VM to do all the work.
Still boots into recovery when plugged in.
Maybe I'm just being an idoit, but I couldn't get out of the keytest, had to hold power button which booted the rom.
Of course the usb mount and such works.
Will try backup later when I'm not short on downtime.
already flashed... beautiful. will run through some tests tonight. and dont think you are getting rid of me on IRC now
Coming from the HTC EVO 3D land with the HTC unlock method for the last 6 months .. the following tips have been very helpful.
HTC Unlock method only allows kernel write access while in two modes, fastboot and standard android mode. HTC unlock method does NOT allow a kernel to be flashed from standard recovery mode. This includes a ROM .zip with a kernel inside. The ROM will load, but the kernel will not from standard recovery mode.
The ONLY way to flash a kernel whether by performing a full nandroid restore including the kernel or flashing a ROM with a kernel inside, is to use the following command to load the custom recovery:
fastboot boot <destination of recovery.img>
example on windows: fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img
Everything else will work in the standard custom recovery mode EXCEPT the ability to flash a kernel. To flash a kernel through the custom recovery, fastboot mode must be used per HTC's unlock method.
Updated OP with simpler installation method (ph39img).
Much easier to use, and no mucking around in commandline!
well it most definetly worked. i jus downloaded the zip file and was able to back up my settings. Only problem i have is. ( which is a similiar problem i had before this. if i powered off the phone and plug it to charge it would automatically restart the phone.) When i power off now and plug it in to charge. It automatically goes to the clockworkmod set up. none the less my phone works and i have backed it up. But i still was wondering wat could cause these problems ?
Same issue here can't charge while off,
I not sure boot backups are working,
Was stock did back up, flashed RR betas and then restore to saved image, got bootloop, had flash boot thru fastboot
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
Great start for this....from what i was told theres drivers needed in the recovery for it to charge while device is off and fastboot is unchecked...device charges while fastboot is checked and device is off....
WC
Recovery works great for me.
BTW, the offline charge issue is usually in the chargemon file.
for the new recovery, we will need to be using a new update-binary and when flashing a rom, your updater-script must contain 4 arguments in the format line, like this:
Code:
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p29", "0");
inside the attached zip you will find the update-binary
if you dont know what update-binary and updater-script is, then this isnt for you and you needn't concern yourself with it.
Just put your new recovery in the superguide and gave you credit. Keep up the good work!
There seems to be some issues pertaining to this CWM and flashing Telstra_boot image and attempting to install Run Runner ROM.
After flashing boot.img and attempting to wipe and isntall the rom i got an aborted error 1. After rebooting back into recov i was stuck at the HTC boot screen
The only way i could get back and working was relocking and flashing the RUU

Did you not download the fix I provided in the Rom thread? This recovery works fine with the updated binary.

Question has the flash able zip been updated so it will now work to flash rooms or is it the rom zip scripts that needed updating? Can I place this zip on my SD card and overwrite the old version ( if that's what was in fact wrong)

I have a raider from rogers and tried putting the PH39IMG zip on my htc sd drive and get an error about wrong img (or something to that effect).
So is this for the at&t vivid only?
as I still have cwm from the original raider thread for rogers, bell, fido from here.
and this appears to be updated and backing up to the ext-sd, which is much better.

ok i have a question, after using the phone for a full day know (still stock).
I have noticed I'm unable to keep my connection to rogers for data only.
I have checked and the apn is right.
I have cleared dalvic cache and fixed permissions.
Still when im away from wifi and using data, most of the time i have no connection.
Now before i updated to this version of cwm i had no issue's with my data connection.
anyone else having an issue with a raider on rogers?
Thanks
Hi guys im typing this quickly so forgive my grammar! i bricked my phone, i had paranoid android first, but then i tried to flas LT30P)7.0.A.1.303_CH and when i tried to turn on the phone, it said freexperia and then it showed XPERIA Logo but it was flashing; after that it turned back to freexperia and so on. then i tried to restore my backup, bbt when i did that it keeps stuck on the freexperia logo without doing anything!! please help it was my moms phone shes gonna kill me!
ERM. Your kernel isn't stock based. FXP logo probably tells you that you have a CM kernel. Just flash a stock kernel.
Also. This is a Question so it should be in Q&A section.

I'm sorry! Can you please just answer my other question? How do i flash another kernel im entirely new to this thing. The paranoid android was put on by my friend! Can any mods move this thread ?
Well you need fastboot. It can be found around the Xperia section. Just search it. Then download a kernel. Make sure it's the right Firmware for the ROM you're on now. (If the kernel is in a .zip file, extract its .elf or .img file) Place .elf or .img file into fastboot folder.
1. Open the fastboot folder, hold shift and right click in the fastboot folder.
2. Click open command prompt.
3. Connect device via fastboot. (Turn off device, hold vol down while connecting to PC. Blue LED will light up)
4. Type in the command window "fastboot flash boot filename.elf/img.
5. Reboot.

Ok try the official Sony flashtool, they specifically made it for bootloader-unlock phones. See if your phone model is listed there. Haven't tried it myself coz my TX is not listed, I think the T is.
Edit: you mean you cannot poweroff your phone? I'm also confused by your statement lol

use sony flashtool it works great, you could also try to connect your sd card with your pc, put the kernel from doomlord on your sd card and put sd card back in. when you boot up phone you just have to press up volume a couple of times. then you will get cwm, then click instal zip and go to the doomlord kernel, then reboot into recovery and factory reset your phone, then flash the stock rom you like and wipe cache, that should do the trick.

yes, it even says so in the bit you quoted. You NEED an unlocked bootloader to flash custom kernels.
Locked bootloader means you can only flash stock kernels
Unlocked bootloader means you can flash all custom kernels and stock kernels
I think it would be wise for you to read the all in one thread before you start flashing things in future...The first 3 posts in the first thread in the Q&A section would be enough
Can I just ask why you unlocked your bootloader if you didnt know how to flash kernels?

Do this but replace the cwm.img in "*\Myth Tools\tools" folder with the one from this thread or just use the one from that thread up front, no need to hassle with replacing files or anything. Go to the thread I linked, download the file, boot your phone into fastboot and run the command from the thread inside the folder the cwm.img is in.

Don't give up just yet. It's worth it to get custom ROMs on your phone.
Do a search around the forums here and you'll find a custom build of a CWM based recovery by mattlgroff made for this phone. Flash that to recovery with fastboot and you should then be able to flash custom ROMs without fear of screwing up your phone.
You may also want to flash a stock firmware with RSD-Lite. (not the recovery!)
Some users have had issues with GPS not working until after you flash stock and then go to a custom ROM after getting a GPS fix on stock. I don't know if that is still necessary or not, but it's something to keep in mind.

Did you do the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" step like it says in the thread? Anyways, the ROM that you are using now is based on Cyanogenmod10. We have two kernels for that. Look in the index thread (link in my signature) for the two kernels. You can choose anyone you like.
Once you download the kernel, place it in C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools of your PC.
Then switch off your phone, remove the battery, put it back in.
Then hold volume-down and power button till the phone starts.
Connect your phone to the PC. Now it should say "FASTBOOT USB" on the screen
Open command window in your PC and navigate to the folder where you have pasted the kernel file.
Then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without quotes (and assuming that the file is called boot.img)
Then type "fastboot erase cache" then "fastboot reboot"
Then wait for some time.. It should start.

i followed loads of guides i unlocked the bootloader and then i installed cwm by munjeni using hasoon2000 all in one toolkit
would you be able to backup up your current system and send it to me so that i could restore it and hopefully my phone will work
The toolkit has an option to flash kernels. Follow the instructions there. And if you are using Darkbreed IV, use Prometheus or NOPE kernel
i just downloaded the nope kernel and i used the toolkit to flash a kernel but it says error: device not found what to do ??????
Ash, I think you need to erase the cache first.
Also Nope kernel doesn't work on sense roms.
Wipe the cache data and dalvik and try flashing the rom again with the correct kernel.
If it keeps getting stuck, try lower frequencies.
I mentioned the erase cache command in post #4. And he gave me a link for darkbreed so that's why I suggested nope or prometheus. The problem here is not wrong kernel. He hasn't flashed the kernel at all. It was clearly mentioned in Russell's thread. He hasn't even installed android sdk and judging from his last response, not even drivers.

OK now here's what you should do. There is a link for a guide/faq thread in my signature. In that thread, I have answered the question "how to flash a kernel".
There I have provided two links - one for a tool and one guide.
Go for the guide and not the tool. That guide will help you to set up your computer for flashing and it will also tell you how to flash kernels. That will definitely solve your problem.
For the future, do not just skip instructions. If you do not understand a particular instruction in a thread, ask before you move ahead. This problem could have been avoided if you had done so.
Now read the guide and the faq thread. And if you have any further questions, I will be happy to help you

I'm gonna go all out on this and tell you that you are hopeless.
People explained to you nice and easy how to do it.
You did try and you did not follow the advice correctly, afterwards asking for more advice.
If you refuse to listen to people that are more experienced than you, you have no place here.
In case you want to change your mind look up some videos on how to flash a kernel and read which kernel goes for which rom.
Just in case you are completely oblivious, you flash a kernel by holding Vol- and the power button to go into fastboot.
Then you go to bootloader. Then you use ADB to flash it. Reboot. Done.
Doesnt ring bells? Go google it.
Can you please give a link to what guide you followed?
