Shouldn't this be somewhere else? Not a dev not even link to stock room?

Not working
Just tried to update my atrix 3 times with no luck. Anyone else have issues updating a rooted, unlocked phone?
Now we need someone to pull the modem only from this.

I've tried the update 3 times as well. No luck. It seems to hang about 20% through the unpacking.
I'm rooted, have the telstra modem and did the webtop via hdmi. Any ideas on how to move to the update?

Ya..I tried this update yesterday OTA and had the same issues (I'm rooted and unlocked with webtop hack)..after about 20% I get the exclamation mark in the triangle telling me its failed. I was hoping to log on this morning and find the sbf ready to upload
I have the french SBF installed and greyblur/root. - I havent tried it, I doubt it will work on the french SBF. I really didn't realize how screwed we bell guys are without a factory SBF to work with. I feel like we get shafted out of all countries that got the atrix.
I just got my battery life issues sorted out, So even if i were able to try it, I wouldn't want to, But maybe there are useful fixes in it for the developers. We are getting custom roms for the ATT phones. Hopefully bell and international are soon.
I saw a post on motorola's forums from a guy who has a bell atrix that wants them to post a factory sbf for us so that we are "on par" with other countries around the world. i agree.
Should we stay on 2.1.1 and wait to flash the modem only or is this version better than 2.1.1
I hAve a bell atrix..

I am/was rooted and I was able to do the update. Just a bunch of fixes in it I guess. No major changes except for the faster upload. That's nice
You will have to re-root after installing it though. Gingerbreak works fine.
i installed the french sbf to get grey blur going so i'm guessing update won't work...

I'd like to know this as well.
I'm thinking of at least flashing the new radio after work today though. People seem to say it's better than the one shipped with 2.1.1. I'll keep checking these threads though to wait for more comments.
Thanks for sharing your comments and experiences, guys. It's always very much appreciated.
I Didn't say it wont work for the french SBF, I just haven't tried.
I'm at work right now and can't have my phone go down at all, or i'll get fired. Which is why im not just jumping in and testing it.
Can someone confirm if it works or not with the Telstra SBF? I'm not on stock sbf, im greyblurred. If it does work, i'll re-sbf this thing to 2.1.1, and run the bell update.
I think my issue is that i'm rooted/greyblurred. So unless is flash sbf, and then try, i doubt it will work here.
I tried to run this over the French SBF, but was unable to.

Did the rooting method work on this? Can you verify if the WebTop without Dock MOD works on this?

I took the Bell 37.23 update this morning.
My root was gone (I had originally rooted using GladRoot 4.3) and there was no longer any /osh/sbin/frozenfish.
I re-rooted my 37.23 using Gingerbreak 1.20 and it worked perfectly.
EDIT: just ran Speedtest.net mobile in downtown Montreal (great reception quality) and got 5737 kbps down and 2335 kbps up
Can I run the update even if i have froze all the bloatware? And will I have to re-freeze them after the update? ¸
I am kinda new to android but have a good experience in modding other mobile os (webos, wm5).
Thank you
quick question
i have french sbf
can i restore stock bell sbf to get this update
if yes where can i get stock bell sbf
I have a Galaxy s GT-I9000m using the bell network. I been stuck with android 2.3.3 for over a year now.
I have been doing research and am finding it difficult to find a good source of information.
Mainly looking for the latest and most stable version of gingerbread. Also want to get rid of bloatware.
If someone can point me in the right direction I would be extremely grateful
Thanks in advance.

Welcome!~ Let me tell you it'll get frustrating at first, but if you have patience and are willing to put in some time to learn things you will no doubt be amazed at what you can do.
I had a similar issue a while back and I started a thread, which blew up with information, so I suggest you look through there as it has useful tips from some really great members about what you're looking for. I see you're looking to upgrade from 2.3.3. The latest in my thread is version 2.3.6 and that one is great. Try that out first and when you're ready I suggest moving onto Cyanogenmod 7.1 as it's based on the latest Gingerbread build 2.3.7
Good luck! Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375971
this thread is useful i reckon. good luck.

Does my phone have to be unlocked? It if so the only way to unlock that I've seen is to use another sim card.
No, your phone does not need to be unlocked.
I'm currently running the JW1 (2.3.6) ROM that was released at the end of January with the Bell phone and modem files.
See post #9 in the thread pk1025 linked to.
It discusses and visually displays how to take pieces of different ROMs and install them on a Bell GT-i9000m phone.
It talks about installing JVT, but the same thing applies if you wish to install JW1 or the JVU value pack version discussed here.
Thanks alot the process is making alot more sense.
What's the most current stable version of 2.3.6. and where do I get it from?
Hello,
I would like to try flashing my rogers captivate to ICS. Nothing fancy just a astable bug free ICS. However I am on 2.3.3. I updated through KIES a while back and now I have no idea how to root my phone or install roms. I am afraid the last time I looked into this everything was very different. I have read the forums but am still a little anxious.
Is it possible to root and then install CWM or something to install roms from my current 2.3.3 version? If so how may I do it?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Christopher
By reading all the stickies and reading some more info, you will be a genius at this stuff by the time you're done...
Yeah thats what I am kinda trying to avoid. I have to hack and read so much already it gets really tiring having to keep up with it all. Add to this work and school and its like info overload. I was hoping there might be an easier way than earning another mini phone phD. Thus far I have determined I have to change my kernel... I think? My phone is unrooted. Stock 2.1 to 2.3.3 KIES.
This Site is mentioned for developing. That being said for the rest of us, we are supposed to learn. The reason it's important to read and understand is you can potentially kill your phone.

This is not the thread you are looking for. // Obi-Wan Kenobi
These threads are for the original Droid 1 and Milestone 1.
ps.: ALWAYS make a nandroid backup before messing around with your phone.
If you have Droid X, you should ask around HERE.
Hi !
I want to try the old ROM for Droid 4 :
VRZ_XT894_6.5.1-167_DR4-1_M1-219_1FF_01.xml.zip
I have actualy an ICS 4.0.4 Android version.
Is it possible ?
Regards,
Gaël
It is not possible to downgrade from ICS to GB. Trying to do so will brick the phone. Any reason why you want to go back to Gingerbread? ICS is, imho, much better. If there is something not working/missing, we might be able to help you get ICS working the way you want it...
Any Hope of a Workaround for US GSM-based Carriers?

I personally would love to downgrade so that I can get my T-Mobile SIM working on my Droid 4. I am currently investigating if it would be feasible to either modify or push a new baseband via AT command or find Verizon's MCN restriction in the radio stack (perhaps in the radio interface layer)? Any suggestions on resolving this would be greatly appreciated. I will be updating my thread on this issue soon.
