Just wondering is it possible to update to the new 2.3 update and then odin back to 2.1 and still have the 2.3 bootloaders?
PS the 2.1 odin contains no bootloaders, it was to my understanding you could just upgrade them and you would have them unless you changed the bootloaders.
See i want the gb bootloaders and if it messes up ide like to be able to take it to att and replace it.
Correct.....

So i can do the official update, get the official gb bootloaders then odin back to 2.1? correct?
See im running the same rom as you teamhacksungs ics and i wanted the gb bootloaders.
Yahh that is fine. Or you could Odin to 2.1 then flash the Bootloader only package and have GB bootloaders. Then it will reboot to recovery and you can flash away from there!
Yeah I could do that and if it does fail I could just blame it on there update tool that it messed up durring the process. Thanks!

that's 2.1
for some reason nobody posted a 2.2 kb1 stock rom. all us americans are too obsessed with flashing i9000 roms or heavily modded roms. the only way to kb1 stock on this board is flash 2.1 and use kies mini to update, assuming you havent messed anything up that will prevent kies from recognising the phone like info in the efs partition.
oh right... i get confused by your damn numbers... kb1...
we had JI2 (2.1.1) and JL1 (2.2)
you know how long it took me to hunt that wrong one down?

I thought I saw a cappy stock ROM 2.2 on here when I soft bricked (I use a vibrant). They had all of them plus pre rooted versions and everything. Ill try to find it and post a link.

Here is a link. Just use the file as PDA and use your standard pit and you should flash back to stock 2.2. No problems reported either.

Here is another one..more of the same I suppose. Both are froyo stock though, and I'm pretty confident either will work. This one definitively says use 512 pit and use the tar file you download as the pda.

I used this one to upgrade from stock 2.1 to stock 2.2 using Heimdall a while back with no problems to speak of. The phone ended up developing the same lag as 2.1 eventually so I have since gone with one of the many lagfixed roms.
hiya guys
is there an odin or the proper files for an odin flash of the STOCK 2.2.1 Froyo ROM?
I'm seling my cappy but my buyer wants a stock froyo

This ROMs are simple copies of the official Motorola SBF, but in CWM form. Installing a SBF is dangerous, it could hard brick your device. Using this CWM versions the worst you can get is a soft brick.RELEASES

Thank you for this. Hopefully this will help those who downloaded and installed the OTA and don't want to hard brick.

To use this you need tenfars CWM so you have to be unlocked.

you may or may not be able to use future OTA... but bottom line is RSD going forward can cause hard bricks so goal is to move toward flashing just through cwm or fastboot
abandon RSD, the only time you should ever RSD is when you UNlock your BL, after that never use it agin unless something requiewres it. if you ever want to go back to 183 or whatever, find the appropiate files here for CWM.

I would like to point out that right now sbf flashing back hard brick proble is only with the OTA people, but im sure more than likely the Release OTA will have a new BL and will cause this same issues all around. So CWM is the alternative moving forward!

is there any way to determine the BL has changed from the leaked build, i mean the partition sizes or something else?

Samcripp,
Awesome idea! I was hoping someone would do this. I don't know why anyone would rsd back to any previous version once we finally have the bootloader unlocked. We can flash anything we want now without worrying about losing the unlock or a hard brick.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks sam, you have been very valuable to our community!

thanks i should have figured that out myself. no sleep in 70 hours spent most of today trying to get gingerbread on the atrix.
Nice job man. I was wondering why we are still bothering with RSD when we have Clockwork. I guess this signals the end of that crap. CW and Fruit Cakes FTW. Down with RSD!

Hi.
Before I spam up more of the ROM threads I figured I'd better make a thread.
I'm at 2.2.1 with Voodoo Lagfix and Soundfix Kernel right now.
I want to upgrade to Gingerbread or one of the more functional ICS Roms.
Now in all the threads about them I don't see anything about Bootloaders, Firmware and so on.
My Question:
What do I have to flash and in what order?
I figured bootloader>firmware>ROM+RADIO?
Will the old ROM(2.2.1) work with the new bootloader?
The situation is kind of bad since my phone is my only source for internet right now, so KIES for basic stock upgrading is out of question.
I want to reconfigure my apps and all that stuff anyway so a backup will of course be done but is not necessary.
Thanks for reading and maybe some other people coming from 2.2.1 or lower will also find help here.

use the above link .. be sure to click on update bootloader .. as you are coming from froyo rom to GB rom so you need GB bootloader.. rest of the odin settings will be as shown in the video in the link
Thanks for your reply.
I hope you don't missunderstand me but I don't want to just follow a tutorial, I want to know what I am doing.
And this tutorial is basically telling me "use that PIT and that PDA" and boom.
But what about the bootloader? Does this change the Kernel?

.pit file contains the information of how to partition your space, if you choose .pit file in odin, you'll have to click repartition otherwise its not needed..
for details about all file types you can just google...
The guy in video didn't check bootloader because he was flashing from a GB rom only.. when you are coming from a froyo rom, you'll have to check the bootloader option as it'll be required to run GB rom otherwise you may end up in a boot loop..
The kernel that comes with the rom will be flashed... so the kernel you have now will change

Yes, it's possible and the same procedure as with any GB ROM. Important is that most ICS ROM's are still in beta, nobody can and will guarantee anything.
Sorry, you can but you need the GB Bootloaders

Well i have 1 question about rooting my phone, since its branded to my carrier [Telenor] and i wonder if if could do my phone any harm to install custom kernels and ROMs on it because of its carrier lock?

carrier locked means you cant put another carriers sim card in and use it..Doesnt have any effect on what rom you run.
Ok thanks a lot. I just where a bit afraid a new ROM would ruin it because of its branding. Flashing here I come!
