*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.

Just to add, MAKE SURE your BATTERY has FULL CHARGE before your attempt to unlock. I had a HARD BRICKED phone when my Battery was around 40% charge while trying to unlock using SBF...
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 thanks for posting but I think this information is already out there. Unless you are looking for this to be stikied, this can be moved to general section.

If this needs to be in general then a mod can please move it, but a lot of the beginners look here in dev and never look in general.

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.

to prevent this make sure your phone is charged 100% first.

Hello everyone!
Iv recently acquired a new milestone 3, and after gettint out of the box only did the one click root service to root it up, and installed bootstrap / rom manger and so on. But when I power off the phone holding X I get into a ! triangle screen, which I cant even power down the phone via button.
Also booting with M, or both vol buttons I can get into a list of options, but recovery, bt tools or any other wont get into the recovery mode.
is there any other way? clockwork mod is already installed says the app, and the normal boot goes ok.
Iv downloaded from another post the CM7 which I wanna install, but impossible without the recovery mode.
any help appreciated, all Iv found in the forums was how to get into recovery, but none worked for me.
... never mind
If you are using cwm, make sure you are using the DROID 3 bootstrapper. There is no way to enter recovery without it.
Imo, you should use safestrap (the official version) . It's way better. Because the only way to get to recovery when you have cwm is the bootstrap app, if you bootloop your phone, the only solution is an sbf. Safestrap retains access to the custom recovery.
EDIT: I saw you installed the bootstrap. To get to recovery, open the app and click the reboot recovery option, then reboot your phone.
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
both options: bootstrap recovery and reboot recovery goes to normal boot into the OS.
since its a payd up app, already sent email to the devs so I can help troubleshoot whats going up on my device, but got no answer.
Odd. Make sure you hit bootstrap recovery, wait for it to say success, then hit reboot recovery.
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
I've had that.problem before with the bootstrap before. I could not get it to work no matter what. Rerooted, made sure I had su, busybox etc. Sbf'd and did it all again. Just use safestrap, it works. Just uninstall your bootstrap first

This is the modded version. Its supposed to be able to flash both safe and non safe modes but it doesn't. You can only flash in safe mode. But it does have a console included which can be handy. Its still cwm but redesigned ui. Note that if a rom isn't specifically meant for the xt860 you will need a patch for it. So far only eclipse 3.0 and mavrom 4.0 have xt860 version. I'll also find you the sbf for you. Always handy to have
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium

Choose the one for your carrier. If you are running windows you'll need rsdlite to use it. Just unzip the sbf somewhere on your comp and point rsdlite to the xml file in the unzipped folder. Make sure your battery is charged before doing this. And before flashing anything too. Just in case.

how do i unbrick my droid 4? i havent seen a video on youtube and droid forums.net doesnt have a thread about one
A stickied thread in the Droid 4: Tech Support at Droid Forums definitely has what you're looking for, but anyways...
1) download the official ics fastboot files
2) place your phone into fastboot mode and connect to the computer
3) flash the xml using RSD lite
And for me personally, the only way I can get it to boot afterwards is to use the stock recovery and install the ota zip

They used the photon for cwm. Don't do that though. Use our official one located in the development section.

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.

Do I have to erase my stock recovery prior to flashing cwm?
Here is a stock flashable sprint flex rom for those who might ever need it. It can be used for development purposes or if you simply messed up your phone and need it.
steps to install
1. First download Playfulgods app that installs clockwork mod recovery
2. Download the flashable rom located here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6HYWZRx8JLsRHhPVVhvQko3akU/edit?usp=sharing
3. Boot to recovery by turning phone all the way off and holding down vol + and power until you see a black screen with a symbol and korean writing. You will then see cwm recovery start.
4. scroll to advance
5. click the loki toggle. This will stop the recovery from trying to loki the boot.img and causing an error. The boot.img is already lokied thanks to Playfulgod
6. Install the Rom and let it finish
7. reboot the device.
Very nice work,....
Sent from my LG-LS995 using XDA Free mobile app
So if loki is enabled in cwm then the rom dev doesn't need to patch the boot.img? or is because it's the stock boot.img?

I'm also waiting for roms but not 4.2.2 roms im waiting for kitkat roms i don't see the point to be hype for JB roms when kitkat is out and as long as you can root kitkat that should be fine to hold you off until roms start popping out.

need recovery to work on kk first b4 you can have roms.
So if I flash this stock Rom will my phone accept the kk update or do I still need to unroot? I read something about needing to unroot but also read you can flash a stock Rom? Confused about the best way to take the kk update. I've just seen some people saying it's best to wait for a kk Rom and others say go ahead and update then root haha
No won't update with custom recovery

Here is a stock flashable sprint flex rom for those who might ever need it. It can be used for development purposes or if you simply messed up your phone and need it.
steps to install
1. First download Playfulgods app that installs clockwork mod recovery
2. Download the flashable rom located here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6HYWZRx8JLsRHhPVVhvQko3akU/edit?usp=sharing
3. Boot to recovery by turning phone all the way off and holding down vol + and power until you see a black screen with a symbol and korean writing. You will then see cwm recovery start.
4. scroll to advance
5. click the loki toggle. This will stop the recovery from trying to loki the boot.img and causing an error. The boot.img is already lokied thanks to Playfulgod
6. Install the Rom and let it finish
7. reboot the device.

Was finally able to download the zip file, is there anyway to get it on my device from Recovery? My Device is stuck in a boot loop but I can get the phone into recovery mode, but I believe the CWM on my device isn't working 100%, I can back up and restore if that helps, but when I restart the system, I get nothing but the LG Boot Logo.
Tried adb sideload, "device not found"
UPDATE: Somehow got sideload to cooperate but keep getting * failed to write data 'protocol fault <no status>' * get this at about 55-60%
Sideload gets to exactly 59% every time, then fails. Can I not sideload this Stock ROM?
