Long story short, my work gave me a new phone, my daughter's Galaxy crapped out, and I am going to give her my AT&T Atrix HD (that I no longer need). It has been running CM 10.1 since I got it, but I want it to be as AT&T stock as possible for her. What's the easiest, most reliable way to get it back to (mostly) stock condition? Note that the bootloader can remain unlocked, she won't be taking it to an AT&T store for service.
Bro u need odin and original firmware... Then u can get back to stock

Odin is for Samsung.. Use rsd lite or fastboot stock there's a tutorial in general I believe or maybe android development. It's sticked either way.

try holoblur it is mostly stock but the bloat has been removed.
I used RSD Lite and a stock ROM. Worked a charm, thanks!

+1. I'm running v0.8.4 with Pure Performance and it's fast, has excellent battery life, and is really stock.
Check out RSD lite guides/tutorials for flashing back to stock - RSD lite is made by Motorola and should only be used for reverting back to stock
NOTE: Reflashing Stock ROM will not relock the bootloader, in case you're wondering
EDIT: Good to know everything's fine, didn't look down the forum haha

So I've pushed the ICS leak onto my Bionic (Build number 6.7.2-223) and after having it on there for a while, i'm looking to restore the phone since it's been slowed down really bad now. My question is, what would be the best thing to do? Should i go to Factory data reset and reset it that way? I'm aware that there's a build number that works that's ahead of mine (-232?). Should I upgrade to that? If so, should I just follow these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771993 steps? Anyway, thanks for the help!
Edit: I do want to keep ICS on there. I'm not looking to restore it completely back to Stock.

I'm not sure but are you aware that ICS .246 is the current software for the bionic (not a leak but an official build)? My suggestion would be to RSDlite the thing to the stock firmeware of .246. Then install SS 3.11 and make a partition and install a nice rom. As for rooting the motofail root works just fine on the ICS stock build.

Hah yeah, I only found out last night. Okay, that all sounds logical. Only two questions are, what is SS 3.11, and what ROM would you suggest. Thanks for replying!

SS = Safe Strap version 3.11
As for Roms so far the fastest Jelly Bean Rom is Icarus, but it doesn't have all the frills of the newer Cyanogen mods. As for ICS Roms I like Blurry Maxx or Eclipse. Google search should find them. Also there are roms in the Bionic Development section of xda here you can browse and see what some of the features are. Good luck.

Personally I would go with Eclipse, they recently released v 1.3 that runs great (way better than stock). I tried BurryMaxx but its pretty overclocked so the battery drain is quite a bit more than eclipse. Honestly I don't think you really need the OC as long as you make sure to use task killer frequently enough. I tried AOKP and CM10 for the JB roms but neither of them were ready to be daily drivers, I had issues with phones not ringing/vibrating, screen of death, etc. (and of course the standard camera issues).
:thumbup:
I was wondering if there is a port of android 4.2.2 only. I'm not looking for a rom. I just want the current version of android.
I appreciate everyone's hard work with the roms there are some nice ones for the atrix hd, but I use my phone 80% work related so I think it's best if I don't use one until I get my new personal phone come Christmas,
Thank You!
You can't just port another phones ota. If you want 4.2 go custom.

I guess that wouldn't be a problem if I actually knew how to do any of that besides flashing another's port.
If you want 4.2.2, your best choice would be to go with a custom rom. To easily install different roms, it would be best to unlock the bootloader, root, and load cwm. Unlocking the bootloader will void your warranty which may be a problem for some users.
The latest official release is 4.1.2 and I think this is the end of the line for updates on the AHD.
I don't know that we're stuck at 4.1 stock I'm sure we'll get 4.2 eventually but that will probably be the last update. As for running 4.2 now I recommend the PAC man rom. I love it. No issues for me I'm running the July 3rd build.
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
I've already unlocked the bootloader, rooted, and loaded cwm.
I could care less about the warranty I had a problem with the sim card not clicking in place it would just pop out so I sent it in they had it for a week and half. I got a call asking me what the issue was I explained they said ok simple fix get it shipped back out to you today. I got it back 3 days later with nothing done to it.
you're looking for AOSP. Skeevy is building that soon, is just vanilla android, no customizations, just like google intended. lol

@sd_shadow has a stock nandroid backup you can use in his google docs folder located here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zKJ22e26gDD54YXYRWZE5IlL71MJa6pXDJ_EshpLDUU/edit
Big thanks to sd_shadow for his folder full of Droid 4 goodies
use the correct Stock Rom Nandroid ics or jellybean
Thanks a million. Got my phone restored in no time. Thanks again!
I have the same problem. By mistake I reflashed (deleted) stock rom with CM 10.2.1 (Android 4.3.1) in Safetrap.
What can I do now to recover the stock rom?
Can I use "Stock Nandroids" from google docs above (I cant post links, because Iam new member) ??? And if yes, which one?
Or I cant use it a must take this long procedure ? - "Restore your Motorola Droid 4 (XT894) to stock" from google docs above.
Thank you for your reply.
the jellybean nandroid should work fine

The jellybean nandroid does not work. I placed unziped folder in internal sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS and try to restore in safestrap 3.60 but the safetrap didnt see the backup (
if safestrap can not see it, it is not placed correctly

You can not downgrade stock firmware, because of the locked bootloader.
There maybe a modified stock GB rom that is compatible with Safestrap or Boot Manager Menu, but don't think so.
There are a few good modified Jellybean stock roms that work well.
Well that is interesting most other phones you can....cause I mainly love the interface and I think the performance would be far better than on JB or ICS hmmm.....well if you can downgrade the bionic back to gingerbread.....then I may go with that one cause its another viable option or are all the droid lines locked with their boot loader

none of the Motorola Droids can be downgraded, unless there is an exception with the Bionic, I don't have one.

Is there a bare bones ROM available for 4.4.4? I recall some being available for previous devices and those seem to have to have the best performance and most popular. Basically just the stock ROM debloated and flashable via TWRP. And if so, would this have working touchless control/active display?
thanks!
The reason it probably isn't there is that most people just root and delete the 10-20 apks manually. Takes pretty much the same amount of time for the same end result.

Here you go. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/rom-krypton-v1-2-v1-3b1-6-9-2014-t2716657 You can always remove more.
I'm using Epsilon Project ROM on my XT1060 Verizon Dev edition running AT&T Sim card. It's very minimalist, has working active display and touchless control, and reduces battery consumption considerably compared to stock (DU Battery Saver estimated battery time jumped from 18 hours to 28 hours from full).
Here's the link to the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/rom-epsilon-project-v1-0-09-03-clean-t2866450
thanks for the feedback y'all, looks like I've got some reading/research to do.
IMNUTS - agreed, but from my experience, I think it's best to start with a clean slate rather than trying to debloat various apps - as those could have left other files on the system that could hinder performance.
Make sure to look into Krypton(blur/stock based), Eclipse(same):good:. Honestly I've only ran Krypton but I went back to stock rooted... + xposed etc... had some lag here and there in Krypton, stock is noticiably snappier for me:/ *shrugs

Do you guys (or anyone) know if I would be able to downgrade to a stock 4.4.2 after upgrading to 4.4.4 on Krypton (or any custom ROM, for that matter)? I know there's been a lot of talk about how you shouldn't downgrade... I've always been a little unclear as to whether that applies to stock ROMs only or both stock and custom.
Also, what happens if the install doesn't work? Can I flash a downgraded ROM? I tried installing the latest CM11 for my phone, but it failed, and I reinstalled a stock 4.2.2, and just reading through the forums... I feel like that was a big freakin' no-no.

Roms don't flash bootloader and other certain things, so... The rule is really, don't downgrade official firmware, ever. Once you flash 4.4.2 or higher, you cannot downgrade. Roms are not included, as they don't touch the bootloader. So yes, if you were on official 4.4.2 firmware, flashed a 4.4.4 custom rom, and want to flash 4.4.2 official firmware again.... That's fine.
But if you flash 4.4.4 firmware with fastboot or RSDLite, that's it.... No going back to 4.4.2.
Now, my disclaimer.... You SHOULD be OK. There's no guarantees in life, especially on phone flashing.... Anything can go horribly wrong anytime and doing anything. So do all this at your own peril. ?
Thanks!

I am coming from a Nexus 5, where we didn't have to worry about downgrading or upgrading, or which ROM to flash for which variant. Everything was so clean and ready to flash for me. I loved it.
Due to damage, I lost my Nexus 5 and ended up with a Moto X, for Sprint on 4.4.4. I have already unlocked the bootloader and rooted it on stock. But the bloatware on this thing is ungodly. So without me having to go and individually freeze everything, I wanted a lightweight, fast, and stable ROM to flash.
The problem is I see none. I see a lot of unofficial, and nightly ROMs, but nothing really fitting my criteria. I don't want something with bugs either. I couldn't find a good (Sprint) stock ROM. I saw one thread, but I didn't understand why there were 3 download links, ROM, Firmware, and SOAK. I am just unsure how to go about finding the ROM of my dreams (lol). I'd prefer something like stock de/odexed (either) with all bloat removed and maybe some minor/major speed/tweak enhancements. I don't really care though. Just bloat removed, quick, and stable.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Heck, I'd event be thankful for a complete guide on what I can uninstall/change myself! The Moto X is a great phone, just feels incredibly slow.
Sounds like Eclipse is what your looking for.
Or Krypton. I just use stock with Xposed and GravityBox.
Krypton is good also. Try them both and make your own decision
The problem I have is I would REALLY love a stock ROM with all bloatware removed except like active notifications/screen thing. But it doesn't really exist for this phone. That's why its hard for me to use stock as of now.

Why not just debloat with titanium backup yourself. Stock, your way.
