I'd like to point out that the brasil retail is for xt860 and .890 and .906 are for the XT862. Giovannipaquier likely has an xt860. My bell xt860 has 0A.40 AP Fastboot mode.
Giovannipaquier, just because you flashed a .906 based rom doesn't mean you are running the 906 firmware. Its just 906 /system the rest of the firmware is the brasil retail. This would just be the system.img portion of the sbf zip. I would be wary of flashing sbfs for the wrong device. AFAIK you can flash any xt860 on your xt860 but be careful of the Asian ones, as I recall a user having a hard time switching back, but not xt862 sbfs. I've used several of the central American sbfs on my Canadian device

i was at stock, and using this file at rsd: "Flash+Verizon+DROID+3+OTA+5.6.890+to+phone_psouza4", using "milestone3bootstrap". i've flashed eclipse and a modded version by teamhaters of .906. all of them works fine.

Did you ever make a backup with CWM? If you did that would be the easiest to use to revert back. If not, then you can either flash this sbf (1.57) but you will not have root or anything mods, hacks, etc. Otherwise, you will have to go start over with flashing 1.26 sbf.

WARNING : FLASH THIS SBF ONLY IF YOU ARE STILL RUNNING STOCK AT&T 2.2.2 WITH A LOCKED BOOTLOADER. ONCE YOU FLASH THIS ANY ATTEMPT AT A DOWNGRADE TO A PREVIOUS VERSION WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
If you are running anything else using this could increase your chances of bricking. Read the thread before flashing !!!!
This SBF is intended for people who don't want to deal with rooting and unlocking and OTA's and blur removal and fastboot and recovery and blah, blah blah I'm going to brick my phone regardless of what I do stuff.
It's also meant for people who have patience and want to upgrade safely who don't want to deal with Motorola Software Update because of the OS they're running.
It's an original SBF plain and simple.

Would not use if you've unlocked with pudding. Will probably soft brick or worse.
Locked phones should be safe.

I am complete noob in atrix,But i want to know that i have unlocked my atrix but if i flash New Firmware GB,Will it make my atrix again locked plz tell me.
is this the final version?
If i flash back to 1.8.3 will it be locked again? And update to official from there
I dont know about this sbf, but the service sbf i got from the motorola software update tool worked fine with the leaked ota (which is apparently the same as the official ota) and i was unlocked before i flashed it
edit: the compressed md5sum from the op is the same as the one i got from the motorola server which i flashed via rsd 5.3.1 with an unlocked bootloader. so apparently it is a sirvice sbf
edit: i also flashed zomgunlock-lite.sbf after i flashed the sbf
So is it safe to update if ur unlocked already...is this update unlockable? Im currently rooted and bl unlocked....

Read the second post, or try and post your brick results!
I also recommend not using. I used the 4.5.91 SBF a long time ago and bricked my phone shortly thereafter.
No, this .sbf is safe. It will just burn your fuse, just like the OTA, and make downgrading to anything impossible. To downgrade, you will have to use something that includes pudding, and you will have to 'oem unlock' ...that's all.
The .sbf is no more unsafe than the OTA. And once you've OTA'd, if you see "Failed to boot 4" this .sbf is the ONLY thing you can flash if you want to stay locked. Basically, if you have even started the OTA process, or have ever flashed this .sbf, you burned a fuse in ReservedOdm and have only two types of .sbfs you can flash. This one, or any+Pudding. Only this one will let you stay locked and still boot.
If you flash anything with Pudding after the OTA and you are still locked, you will see 0x1000. But it will be a soft-brick, and then your only choice will be to:
a) 'fastboot oem unlock' to continue.
or
b) flash this .sbf instead, and stay locked.
An AT&T user should never see 0x1000 from flashing this .sbf.
But afterwards, downgrades are dangerous. 'Official' AT&T 4.5.91 users will hard-brick their phones with 0x1000, stuck in nvflash mode, if they ever try to use any .sbf except this one, or the very special non-motorola version of 1.8.3 (found in the Pudding thread) or Pudding itself. In the later case, you can still escape the 0x1000 by unlocking. If you flashed stock 1.8.3 or below after running GB 4.5.91 officially, your phone is a paperweight. Be warned.

As far as can be determined, the beta (from Moto dev servers) is the same as the "official" release now being pushed out.
so this include at&t stock GB kernel ( already posted by faux) and the well known .30P radio rigth?

Eval, can you give us the path to cat eFuse status again and the comparison against which we can tell whether we've passed the point of no return with bootloaders? I would like to see where I'm at. Thanks.
So is this a service or full sbf for 4.5.91?
I am currently running locked and stock At&t 1.8.3. I want to update to this new OTA sbf. I read eval's post.
However, can someone confirm (break it down for me) that it is possible and probably safe to unlock the phone later using pudding or some other means. I am not an advanced user but will like to flash CM7 once its available.

Droid 3 on AT&T or T-Mobile

I just got my Verizion Droid 3 a few days ago. Still want to see if it could be used on AT&T or T-Mobile's Network. I understand that there is a band lock on it for US cellular carrier.
The question is: If I flash the XT883's chinese ROM. Will the phone get unlocked? (Since it comes with the radio.img).
I already unlock the phone from Verizon Wireless. Also, don't want get XT860, which is GSM only verion Droid 3. It is NOT a real global phone.
Update: Just flash the radio.img from Chinese ROM, no signal at all. Signature from verizion wireless needed?
Someone said if you flash the China Telecom ROM it will work. Maybe if we can extract the radio it will work better. Who knows?

All you have to do is flash the radio.img from SOLANA_SLNCT-57.1.60_Fastboot in fastboot mode
Code:
moto-fastboot flash radio radio.img
then add the following lines to the build.prop
Code:
persist.ril.rssi.enable.param6 = 1
persist.ril.baudrate=230400
I can confirm this works with an AT&T sim in an unlocked phone, tested with stock and liberty 2.0.

Moto X 2014 (XT1097 Canada) Wont Boot

Please help, my moto x 2014 wont boot what so ever. This first started from when I tried to root my XT1097 on android 5.1 using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...e-edition-superboot-style-root-motox-t2889264 not realizing it wasn't for android 5.1. Then it was acting weird so I booted into fastboot and used a factory image which was for AT&T devices. Realizing this was the wrong image (No service or wifi what so ever) I flashed the proper image to return to stock, but now my device simply sits at the M logo and wont boot. Any help to get this device back up and running is appreciated!

Yeah, that's where I figured it was hanging. All signs just point to a bad flash/firmware. I'd try downloading a different version (even 5.1 since you're unlocked) or verifying the hash on the firmware you flashed. You can use HashMyFiles to check the md5 or SHA hashes.

Sounds like whatever firmware you flashed had the wrong radios. You should be able to download the Canadian firmware and just flash the radios.
