This is probably a very dumb question, but I downloaded ICS from sbf and I tried looking for the "GETVAR" line then I tried flashing it using the myth tools and it says 1 sub item error after extracting system. I have an unlocked boot loader running 4.4
Did you try flashing with Myth Tools?

You can't revert to ICS. You can only go back to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 jellybean, depending on your carrier.

With an unlocked bootloader, I believe you can go back and forth. With a locked bootloader, you can't go backwards.

Official Gingerbread SBF release for AT&T
Android 2.3.4 --- Blur_Version.4.5.91.MB860.ATT.en.US

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.

Read eval-s post below to clear up the confusion.
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.

Only thing I can think of is downgrading the boot loader... But Motorola stated the radio and boot loader cannot be flashed away from the current required signature, this would include secure version checks I'd assume. Which explains why people bricked trying to RSD back to ICS after doing the full ota update.

AW: [Q] Help Unlocked Bootloader Message
We can downgrade with RSD if the Bootloader is unlocked. But we have to delete the line gpt.bin and motoboot.
I had to do it by myself today, because my i won't boot into the System or recovery anymore. I tried some stuff today. Switching between the full OTA's.
I was able to switch from EU JB OTA to O2 JB with the Homemades. But after i tried to revert back to EU JB with the same method the OTA aborted by setting simlinks and permissions. No Recovery was working (CWM or Stock) and it stucked @ the warning Logo.
RSD saved my ass and i did an Backup of my Retail EU JB before i started to mess around. So i'm back on track :thumbup:

Well I need to go swap my phone :banghead: just realized my phones speakers are making crackling and popping noises.. problem is I've unlocked my bootloader and I'm currently on vipers rom.. so how would I go about getting back to stock?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2
Your best bet is to restore a nandroid of stock or flash the odex stock ROM. You won't be able to fully return to stock. Next, grab the stock recovery IMG and fast boot flash that. Relock your boot loader with the AIO toolkit. At that point you are mostly back to stock but not completely. You cannot completely return to stock until an RUU is released. Even then your boot loader will say relocked and not locked.

Would i also flash the stock boot img?
I would, myself, I would flash every stock image I could find. Just in case they go perusing through the phone. Technically they aren't supposed to take it, but normally they don't look that deep if everything seems normal. I would also hunt down the apks that are deleted during the boot loader unlock just in case

okay so i flashed the stock odex rom from viper but whenever i try to relock my bootloader it won't boot into the rom just straight back to the bootloader
Once you re lock you have to run the ruu. You have a custom boot.img and recovery that isn't signed thus it won't boot unsecured partitions with a locked bootloader
I was under the impression that once I accepted the KitKat update, I would no longer be able to return to 4.2.2 and root/all that.
Is this true? Can I still use RSDLite to go back?
I was wondering the same thing on the AT&T variant

You can downgrade to 4.2.2 using RSDlite after the 4.4 upgrade. I have the VZW version, not the AT&T version, but I assume it's the same.

As of now you can use RSD Lite to go back to 4.2.2. In fact if you want root in 4.4 you need to go back to 4.2.2 to start the process.

If your boot loader is unlocked just flash the recovery in fastboot and after doing that it will ask you if you want root, just hit yes and bam you got custom recovery plus root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534850

Yes and No
No you can not flash the complete 4.2.2 PCU package it will fail because you can't downgrade the bootloader
Yes because you can flash everything but the bootloader and it will take but if you accidentally take a OTA. you will brick your device.
but if you are able to unlock your bootloader then why would you want to downgrade. with a unlocked bootloader you will be able to root 4.4.2 with no issues
because when I was on 4.4, I had some battery consumption and heating issues also bluetooth was not perfect, I just wanted to make sure I have a way back To 4.2.2
also, not being able to downgrade the bootloader, in which way does this affect me going back to four point 4.2.2?

No. Once you start mixing bootloader versions with system file versions (i.e. 4.4.2 bootloader with 4.2.2 system files), RSD Lite won't work. You will have to use a command line and mfastboot.exe to manually flash each partition.
And I actually tried to run 4.2.2 (post camera update) system files with a 4.4.2 bootloader and it would not boot; however, 4.4 system files do work with a 4.4.2 bootloader.
This has actually been discussed at great length and detail in this forum and A LOT of people were bricking their phones playing around with bootloader versions, just like you are talking about doing. At one point there was a sticky dedicated to it, but its since disappeared from the board for some reason.
To put it simply, please don't start mixing bootloader versions with system files. If you like 4.2.2, don't upgrade to 4.4.2. If you are on 4.4, then you can still downgrade to 4.2.2 (post camera update version). Do that and stay there. But if you upgrade to 4.4.2, don't fool around with it and start trying to downgrade. There is no point, and you will likely end up bricking your phone.
It's your phone, so do what you want, but you have been warned (by someone with personal experience by the way). If you do brick it, please don't start another "OMG! HELP ME!! I BRICKED MY PHONE!!" thread. There's plenty of those already floating around here. :good:
