Upgrade to Gingerbread from Froyo with rooted Atrix 4G

I just got a rooted Atrix 4G which is running 2.2.2 but I can't tell if its stock or not and I want to upgrade to Gingerbread somehow. I don't know what to do exactly in order to have it. So if some who has had the same question about this was able to upgrade to Gingerbread and could help me out that would be great. Also If i need to uproot in order to get it please help me out with that to I looked into aRoot and that seemed a little bit skeptical so just let me know via PM or the thread.

.......really? :|

for starters, go to menu>settings>about phone and see if anything there gives away the state of your rom. also, is your BL unlocked (does it show unlocked on motorola boot animation)?
If your phone has all the blur content and has certain things locked down and such then chances are its stock.
another thing to check is whether or not your system is deodexed as most custom roms are.
I don't know a foolproof way of checking myself.

Alright well I don't think my phone has a custom rom on it but here is what I have just to make sure im right. I do know my phone does not have an unlocked b.l
System Version: 4.1.83MB860.ATT.en.US
Model:MB860
Baseband: N_01.77.15P
Webtop: oshwt_u1_4.257.30
Build number: OLYFR_U4_1.8.3
Let me know if I need anything else. I would take a screenshot but the app doesn't work for some reason.

seems like stock. at any rate, the OTA image will fail to update during the version check if it's not. follow motorola's update instructions here: http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Android_Products/ATRIX-4G_Software_Update_Page

so if I try to update it to gingerbread while my phone is rooted nothing will happen? Or should I unroot it and then update it?

Any help to root the leaked ICS ROM

I was trying to connect my D4 with the leaked ICS ROM though adb
but after typing adb shell, it keep telling my device was offline
if i can connect the device, is it possible to push the busybox, su, etc to /system/xbin and enabling the root privilege?

Can't help you with actually rooting the build (sorry), but I have seen other threads that seem to indicate that if you reinstall your drivers the problem should resolve itself...

Where is the leaked rom?

all the info on the leaked d4 ics is @ DROID forums. in the d4 development section.

no luck anyone? i really want root back.....I love everything about this update i just want my root back please!!!!!

I can point you in the right direction. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467598 I think if we knew the correct hex values to change in the .bat we might be able to get root.

It seems the problem i face now is i cannot push the files to the phone as permission denied.....or device offline....i actually could even push su to /data/local
which render other commands useless.....

Per p3droid twitter:
@P3Droid R U A Moto fan, then this is exciting news, @djrbliss just created a new universal root for the new 4.0.4 leaks.
Im not sure if it was posted yet.

pimpsalot69: He was referring to getting it installed, not getting root. Unfortunately, if you lost root during the upgrade process (like I did) there isn't currently a way to restore it. You'll have to wait for a new method to be released.

I thought the GSM patch is automatically enabled on the ICS ROM? All you have to do is put in your foreign SIM card and you should be ready to go.

It doesn't seem to work - I put in the foreign SIM and can make and receive calls without an issue. But no 3G data available (and I have set all the data roaming, etc. on in settings). If I had root access, then I could try to flash that rom to see if it worked. I'm in South Africa on the Vodacom network (3G).

Problems Flasing Recovery

Ok, so I spent the last 5 hours reading through this forum and trying all sorts of things, now it is time to ask somebody who knows what they are doing.
I am trying to get my T-Mob 2.2.2 to Honeycomb. Why? Because I had to change a broken screen and was stupid enough to rip the cable for the menue keys and since we don't need them on honeycomb, that seems to be the way.
So I went through Manii's instructions and downloaded all the drivers etc. so far so good. Even used the tricks hidden in the orum to force windows to install the drivers. I am on xp. My device manager shows Dell Android ADB device. The streak shows 'starting fastboot USB download protocol' and does not move from there.
I ran adb to see if it works. adb reboot rebooted the Streak, so it seems fine. Now the problem is fastboot.
in cmd I type: 'fastboot flash recovery-froyo-US.img'. the recovery file is in the same path as fastboot.
This is what I get:
Unknown partition 'recovery-froyo-US.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery-froyo-US.img'
I am hoping somebody can help me out here.
Thanks

Why is there a dash between recovery and froyo.you should remove that dash also why do you name the recovery to a hard name it will make the process more complicated so go to were you put the recovery and rename it to "recovery" onlyyy and without the quotes then put into bootloader and then go into fastboot and type cd C:\the name of the folder were you put the fastboot and the recovery and press enter then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img that's it
Never tell anybody outside the family what you're thinking again.

While your at it might as well flash cwm too. Changing the file name to recovery makes it a whole lot easier. Also why are you flashing a Froyo recovery if you are going to be on HC? Or is that the way tmo does it?

Froyo is required to than use the update.pkg for T-Mobile. Since T-Mob did not support the honeycomb update, this is the only way.
So, I found my mistake. It had nothing to do with the path and the name, the file can be named whatever it wants to be named.
I simply forgot one term.
Fastboot flash RECOVERY filename.
Pretty stupid looser newbee mistake. Finally running now. Somebody mentioned they had some problems with a flickering screeen on the lower right (in landscape mode) after update, guess I have the same. Just insstalled a new screen, so that would not be the problem, any ideas?
Thanks for all your help

I have to agree with Giveen here, even though you might make a claim to it you wont get much fame out of it (if any) as you are new to the scene, even I dont get much recognition with the MIUI port (A. because it doesnt work yet B. because nobody really gives a sh!t about a new dev C. I dont go around making claims I cant back up, failed ROMs or not I still make steady progress on this D. nor do I wish to be an attention whore) so unless you can provide a link that has a working JB ROM for the DS7 (that isn't Giveen's) then we might believe you, oh and we will know if you have used Giveen's ROM as there are certain lines of code that only Giveen uses

You could also make a post with it on the general section with it and ask a dev to move the page. So yes I am also calling shinnanigans.
Nothing says you cant simply make a thread here and ask for it to be moved (or you can even leave it here and it will be moved anyway as it belongs there)

so thread closed on account of mass BS by n00b RE the supposed development of JB for S7 by the chinese? I think yes

The reason my carrier unlocked Bell AHD got the update is because I am using AT&T right now. But, good news for Bell users is that the Bell version will have 4.1.2 (which is what I got), while the ATT versions get 4.1.1.

You can use RSDlite (latest version- 6.14 i believe) and flash the FXZ file for the 77.55.18 version and wipe data after you flash it through stock recovery.
link for the fxz files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853522
Steps:
1. Enable USB debugging on your phone (also download motorola drivers)
2. Boot into fastboot (hold power button+volume down+volume up) - use volume down to scroll and volume up to select
3. Extract the zip file you downloaded
4. Open RSDlite and select the respective xml file
5. let it do its magic
6. let it reboot and you're done

You can (easily) root the Jelly Bean Atrix HD using the guide posted in the forums provided you have;
1 - Motorola Atrix HD (lol)
1 - Computer
1 - CD/USB Drive (To put Linux on it... Ubuntu 12.04 is recommended... )
99 - Patience (Odds are, you may run into problems at first but keep calm and search the root thread for similar problems.)
