I am wishing to sideload a stock update.zip of the latest JB firmware for the Atrix HD. All I have is fastboot and stock recovery. I've been trying to flash the sbf and all I've had is trouble. How can I go about converting an sbf (or xml.zip) into an update.zip?
Thanks!
Edit: sorry, this wasn't appropriate for the dev section. I am really looking for an update.zip that can be flashed from stock recovery, or an update binary so I can make my own.
Wrong section.

first time posting on XDA. i have a xt862 rooted running CWM recovery, CWM bootstrapper, and flashed CM9/ICS beta1. i saw the thread about the OTA 5.7.905, downloaded the link, and tried to install as update through stock recovery. i even changed the .zip to update.zip and tried to run it as an update. everytime it says signature verification failed. any help?
did you try to update when 100% stock? you must be completely returned to stock rom, when updating the zip.
Do I need to unroot/sbf or can I just return to stock root?

This post will contain N8013 stock kernel and recovery images. For UEALGB these were dumped from a device that was rooted using the "root injection of /system" approach. For UEALH2, they are simply extracted from the Kies dump at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847706 so that you can get a stock kernel or recovery without downloading 1GB of files.
If you flash any of these using Odin, they should not trigger your flash counter. Note that for some reason, flashing these in Heimdall will trigger the counter (unlike Heimdall on most other devices).
Pardon for some ignorance. What should be the steps to follow in order to root from an updated to latest OTA update stock Rom on a 32gb USA version? Do I need to flash the kernel, or just recovery should be ok?

Why don't u ask this in the root thread?
Here is what you should do:
Root Via CWM (method 2 in the root thread)
1. Download and put the superuserzip on your internal memory on your device
2. In odin uncheck auto reboot and load the cwmrecovery tar in the pda slot
3. Start odin
4. Once finished boot directly into clockwork (volume up and power til the samsung screen then let go of power while holding volume up)
5. Use the volume rockers to scroll in clockwork cause its finicky and flash the superuser zip you put on your device.
6. reboot
7. Make sure you have root and touch screen and pen works
8. Download goo manager
9. In goo manager hit menu and hit the install recovery script
10. DONE
Have any problems odin back to a stock image and if things go bad flash entropys triangle away kernel and clear your binary count
Any chance you could update the thread to account for the updated kernel for the N8013, that adds support for exFAT?

Hey guys,I just picked up a GT-N8010 -Canadian Wifi version - running LG4 firrmware, will any of these stock recoveries work for me or do I need an LG4 recovery?
Looking to root via cwm then restore stock recovery so I can receive OTA's.

For OTAs - no, these will probably not work.
Ok I downloaded the UEALGB stock recovery tar again and it contains only boot.img. Is the link bad or am I just screwy?

Thanks Entropy, as much as I want to root now I am going to wait for either a stock LG4 recovery or a root injected LG4.

I have the Canadian 8010 model, and installed the prerooted firmware that was provided. It didnt flash right the first time but the second time it did. Everything works great and Im rooted with CWM. The only thing I noticed is that it says I have the 8013 model now which is probably because of the firmware but its not a big deal.

Does anyone have a working UEALGB stock recovery?
Please, update the LGB recovery. I think that's the kernel.
Can I flash the H2 recovery in a LGB rom??
Cheers!

You can't, but you can flash the entire H2 ODIN image from here (about 1GB):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847706
and not lose your data. You lose root though (which you can get again through the alternate recovery method)
Can we get a kernel and recovery from UEALI3 please.
Can someone dump latest firmware please and pm me.

Anybody have stock recovery for N8010?
N8013 UEALI3 Recovery
Can anyone post the UEALI3 stock recovery? I want to root my Note, but want to root my Note with the CWM method, and go back to stock recovery so I can get OTA updates.
Thank you.
So I received my Razr I today and it already has JB on it
So I was wondering, any chance that I could downgrade it to ICS?
From what I've read on xda and some German forums it did work for some people...
I'm referring to this threat:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184877
So in the end, is it possible or not?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, you should definitely be able to do this. You need to install a custom recovery on to your device to start with. I think the ROM Manager app on the Play Store supports your device. If you download it you can flash CWM Recovery onto your device. Then you need the zip file for the ICS stock firmware which can be found easily by Googling it (I've already seen it so it exists). Once you've moved the zip file on to your SD card, boot into recovery and install the zip file and you should be back to ICS stock.

Well I have the files and everything (RSDlite) but from what I've read there might be a problem flashing the fastboot files...
He talked about flashing over CWM and not with RSD-Lite...

But for CWM I need root, for root I need unlocked BL and I don't have it and also don't want to unlock my BL.
So, locked BL JB -->locked BL ICS
Then you must stay with unrooted JB. Downgrade to ICS with RSD is not possible afaik.

The original post (first post) of the thread SVLAN posted contains the download. Flash the .IMG in fastboot and voila.
Edit: Realized that thread has a flashable zip. You need a .img to flash to your recovery partition THEN you can flash the zip in SVLAN's thread to upgrade to CWM touch (recommended).
Flash the .IMG found here first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41908134
Make sure you unlocked your bootloader first! If you aren't unlocked, search for Myth Tools. It has a bootloader unlock and its a program made for our devices only.

You could the myth tools to flash cwm and then user cwm to flash touch recovery.
Do we have to change recovery file
On the mythtool page of xda..it says...in red color warning that
For the option of installing CWM: plz rename the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak before installing. Sr all users who got trouble with this. I forgot this step =.= Will add in next version.
For the latest vesion 1.2 do we have to do that?
I am making sure..
also...I am still waiting for reliable answer on which .img file to use with fastboot command...
the one named cwm.img found on on this thread started by mattlgroff

You can take from the XML for your phone.
the recovery files inside the SBF package that you download once youj download it you extract the files out of it in and there is your recovery image that's what you need to flash just make sure that you download the correct SBF package for your phone and make sure that you follow a guide to flash everything properly

once you copy the "recovery.img" from the unzipped xml just use Recovery Tools from Play to flash it from home screen.
