How to get your BELL ATRIX HD onto At&t Jellybean (4.1.1) - Unlocked bootloader ONLY!

How to get your BELL ATRIX HD onto At&t Jellybean (4.1.1) - Unlocked bootloader ONLY!
I would like to start saying that I’m not responsible for whatever happens to your phone. Thanks to MATTLGROFF who figure out this way of flashing this jellybean leak on my phone.
Having that said THIS IS ONLY FOR BELL ATRIX HD USERS THAT HAVE THEIR BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED. Please read thru and ask any questions before attempting
OK here we go:
1. I assume you’re in stock BELL ICS ROM (77.55.18.MB886.BellMobility.en.CA) … it doesn’t matter if you’re rooted or not. Make sure you have the motorola drivers installed.
2. Enable debugging mode on your phone (settings>development options> enable USB debugging)
3. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER. To do this open command prompt and type “adb reboot-bootloader” and check....
a. It should say: "Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code:1"
4. Now double check you’re unlocked.
5. Make sure you have a charged battery (more than 60%) and boot into fastboot. (if you're not already here)
6. Now download the stock ICS zip for At&t.
a. Unzip it
b. Make sure you have the fastboot files in the same folder/path as your fxz files.
c. Flash the boot.img from the at&t zip.
i. Hold the shift key down and right click on the unzipped folder. Now in the dropdown menu click “open command prompt here”
ii. Now type “fastboot flash boot boot.img”
d. Flash the system.img
i. "Fastboot flash system system.img”
ii. you should be in Stock att ICS rom now.
7. Now download the file for the stock at&t Jellybean zip. ( you will be able to go back to ICS --I have gone back to stock 4.0.4 Bell ROM-- bc you’re only flashing boot and system images)
8. Now start back at step 6 but with the jelly bean leak ---- Or you can try just going to settings and checking for updates! (haven't tried this yet - don't know if it will flash something we don't want it to UPDATE: I guess it doesn't work)
9. You should be on AT&T Jellybean now - and you probably(thanks soulja) lost root...

You might want to just clarify that "adb reboot-bootloader" puts the device into fastboot. Took me a few minutes to figure that out.

OK, so I think I followed the directions properly, it appears SafeStrap is gone, and I now get new boot animations, a "thumping" Motorola logo and then an AT&T Rethink Possible. But it seems to be stuck after it plays that, with the AT&T logo and "Rethink Possible" message. Help!
UPDATE: After much flailing about, I got it into Recovery mode (could only get there by adb reboot recovery, the vol up/down + pwr only gets me a white texted menu which included "factory" but didn't do anything".) Will see if this works.
UPDATE 2: YES! After the factory reset, I let it boot up again. I was about to give up and try going back to ICS, but then it went past the Rethink Possible logo to a configure phone screen.
UPDATE 3: What... OK so it thinks it's an AT&T phone now, that's OK. It also shows it connected to 4G which it never has (always E, H or H++) But it's still on 4.0.4 ICS even though I did load the JB rom. But I just checked updates and it's got 4.1.1!!
UPDATE 4: Update (98.4.20.en.US) downloaded. Hitting install now...
UPDATE 5: CRAP. After reboot "The software update failed!" I might try reflashing the file from 7.7.1Q-144_MB886_MR1-22_SIGNED_CFC
UPDATE 6: No joy. :/ Any tried flashing Blur_Version.77.12.22.MB886.ATT.en.US.zip? After the above procedure, is my phone now "really" an AT&T phone?
UPDATE 7: I followed the thread about fixing failed update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050416, and then got the OTA update. THIS TIME IT WORKS!!! I did lose root though. Oh well. I tried motofail2go again, but I couldn't get the "bug report" vibrate to happen.

noob problem with adb

sorry where in PC or in motorola atrix ? need i another app ? thanks in advance

First step is actually to get Motorola drivers installed on your PC, as well as adb tools. Sorry I don't have a link handy. Then from PC do the "adb reboot-bootloader".

Can this be done with at&t and why not ?
Seems like you can go jb > ics easily.

Ok. SO install the moto drivers first (just google them -Motocast)
Now the fastboot files and put them in the same folder or path of the system and boot.img
Now connect your phone and make sure its in debugging mode
Open command prompt (cmd) in the folder you have the files you want to install. (do this by holding shift and right click on that folder)
Now type adb reboot bootloader IN CMD. You phone should reboot into fastboot! :victory:

Capran you can't install it following this procedure. It won't work or you will brick.
This si only for unlocked bootloader Atrix HDs. There's only a few of them out there (they all seem to be BELL models, but not all Bell models) I think its the ones that shipped with system version: 77.55.17.MB886.BellMobility.en.CA. TheBootloader version is 10.96 i believe... and the locked one is 10.97 I think...

How about the 77.55.18.MB886.BellMobility.en.CA can we flash it to our unlocked Atrix hd? I saw that there's an update to JB 4.1.2. on this version. Thanks
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium

I have an unlocked Bell Atrix HD. It was running 77.55.17 and I tried this method of flashing the AT&T software using fastboot and it didn't work. I could flash the boot.img, but when I went to flash the system.img.ext4 it would tell me that I had exceeded the download buffer. So at this point I had flashed the boot.img already and the phone wouldn't boot. I actually couldn't get any system.img files to flash from fastboot, even the Bell one, always the same exceeded the download buffer error. So I downloaded RSD lite and flashed the 77.55.18 Bell firmware to it via RSD lite and I was back in business again. At this point I just said to heck with it with fastboot and then flashed the stock ICS AT&T firmware via RSD lite only having used the modified XML file that is suggested to use. This worked perfectly fine as well. I was then able to root with motofail and use voodoo to backup my root. Then I just let it do the JB update OTA and that worked perfectly fine as well and then restored my root through voodoo and verified I still had root. Everything looks fine. The funny thing is I'm selling this phone, I have a Galaxy Note II now, but I was worried if I sold it with the Bell firmware nobody would want it since it was still ICS. Should be a bonus to someone that its unlocked, and rooted already hopefully.

Glad you worked it out! The first time I did it was from the 77.55.17 version, then I updated to at&t ICS the to JEllybean and now back to Bell ICS (77.55.18) Not sure what happened, but still glad you worked it out!
That's the great thing about the forums we can all work together in solving issues!

Indeed, so glad I didn't brick it, lol. Maybe it was something wrong with the fastboot executables I used, I used the same ones I had downloaded a couple weeks ago to flash the HTC One V's that I got my kids for Christmas and not the ones linked to in the original post. It worked fine for for the One V's, not for the Atrix HD for some reason. Oh well, I just like tinkering with this stuff.

[Q] How can I unroot and revert to stock recovery without wiping all data?

I'm currently rooted and am running only Xposed Mods with a few root apps. How can I unroot my phone and get the stock recovery back onto my Moto X so that I can take OTA's again without wiping all of my data? What files do I need to download/flash and how do I do it? I've searched around, but it just got me even more confused.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that flashing the stock system will remove all the changes you've made with root/xposed modules, and flashing the stock recovery should essentially get rid of root (I think).
I don't know precisely where to get all the files, but if you find them around, you can push them using ADB.
If you're like me and are okay with losing everything on the phone, go ahead and use RSDLite (it requires ADB). It's easy-ish to use, and there's even a video tutorial that covers everything after installation of all the files.

You need to use fastboot to push system.img and recovery.img from the version of the OS you're currently running. See here for a list of OS images:

See this thread for a link to a fastboot.exe that'll work:

You need to install the Android SDK and the platform tools, then boot your phone into fastboot mode. You need to run a command line to flash the IMGs. It's explained in the links.

I was under the impression that we cannot do a factory reset or we won't get the soak test OTA pushed to our phones. That's what the soak test post said atleast. Something along the lines of "DO NOT FACTORY RESET or you will not receive the OTA"... don't want to quote it directly since I'm under an NDA, but it was something like that. Did I misunderstand? If I use the Moto X toolkit or RSDLite to revert back to stock is that different than a factory reset?

I've got the Android SDK install and ADB is setup. I'm pretty familiar with ADB. I moved the motorola fastboot.exe into platform-tools and I know how to put the phone into fastboot mode. What I don't understand is what I need to do once I've got the system.img file and the recovery.img file. I'm still reading all of the links so I might not have gotten to the part where it explains what to do, so forgive me for that.

Right from my third link:
Next, you need to put the phone into "fastboot mode" as described above, also make sure usb debugging is enabled in the developer menu settings. Then download the FW for your phone found (follow what i said in regards to the other persons post below), then unzip that, put the system and recovery image in the same directory that your fastboot and adb is in, then run these commands from the cmd prompt
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then your done, you can type
fastboot reboot

Yep, just got to that part lol. Having some trouble downloading the VZW file. My current download just stopped with a network error and the website that is hosting the files keeps saying service unavailable and to contact the website administrator. Weird. I'm blaming it on my college's ****ty wireless network.
Edit: Yup, for some reason the wifi at the school decided it need me to input my credentials to re-login for the 6th time today to verify who I am and allow me internet access.
Edit 2: The things I'd do to have a stable connection... Once again, the download failed halfway through because the damn connection at this college sucks. This is infuriating.

Is there anyway you (or someone else) could upload the VZW OTA update file to Google Drive or Dropbox for me?

[TOOL] Preparing for KitKat: Return to OTA Path from any ROM

This scripted tool (Windows Only!) I have written and packaged will allow you to return back to the stock OTA path from ANY single ROM (stock or custom) you might be running or even if your device is soft bricked at the moment (without even requiring RSD Lite).
Download the zip file: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491965516
Unpack the zip file to your PC
Install Motorola Drivers First!
Then run the TOOL file and follow the instructions to guide you
I have also included some screenshots and an Emergency Fix in case you are stuck in Fastboot for whatever reason and need to restore back to stock and then continue the tool (automatically continues from the fix).
WARNING THIS WILL COMPLETELY WIPE ALL DATA INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE!
MAKE SURE TO BACKUP EVERYTHING YOU NEED BEFORE USING THE TOOL OR THE EMERGENCY FIX!

The emergency utility was able to get me out of my soft brick. Thank you sir!

Just wanted to thank you for creating this tool, man. The Emergency Fix really saved my skin from a soft brick.

Pretty sure this utility has bricked my phone. I was on 4.1.2 and was rooted and tried using the utility to return to stock. After the utility completed it gets stuck on the AP fastboot menu and it says Boot Failure. Any ideas to fix it?

Nice to know it.

Thanks, worked for me now. Super happy to luck out on timing so I could get unlocked & root, wish I had seen this earlier.
..Now, if only their forum would validate me. (Maybe a week timeout??)

Request: Guide convert XT1097/92 into XT1095

Hi all!
Sorry for bothering you. I'm a complete noob and I've bought my XT1097 just 4 days ago. I just want to request to some of the hard core guys here if you can do a noob friendly guide describing the process to transform a XT1097 or XT1092 into a the Pure Edition XT1095. I know there is a tiny explanation in one post, but as I told you, I'm a noob and for what I've read if you don't do the right thing you loose signal.
I just love so much this phone and is brand new, and I don't want to break it
Thanks so much in advance :fingers-crossed:

You have to find it yourself. If you're not able to find guides that already exists then you really shouldn't try to flash your device.

No man, is not that I can not find it. There is none yet...the one that is around there is not clear and "noob friendly", that is why I'm requesting a "noob friendly" one...
Anyways, sorry of my request bothered you, I'm just asking politely for help, that is all.
Cheers man

You don't bother me but all information is already here, it's not that hard. All you have to do is learn, and if you have never flashed a device before it should take no more than a day to figure out how it works.

I will happily try and help you out -- everyone is new at one point or another. Give me about a day or so to try and compile the resources I personally used when I did mine!

Thanks a lot man!!! No rush, take your time. Thanks again!

you could use the multitool
flashing the stock PE xt1095 from there worked for me
however you need to be prepared in case you brick your device by any chance
try downloading android emulator and play around with it first (just a suggestion)

Thanks man! you had the XT1097 before converting it with the multi tool?

yes it was a retail latam xt1097 with the tool you can convert it to xt1095 and flash the OTA you just need to be cautious with the modem section of it otherwise you will need to reflash again using fastboot and the std retail image with adequate version for your device

I'm pretty sure this post should do the trick, however make sure you use your correct modem as the one posted there is for the XT1092.
benjamin.j.goodwin said:
I didn't get the OTA through my phone, just flashed it.
I did have a modem issue so lost all signal but I fixed it. If you can live without it for a while then you should be fine.
Here is what I did.
0. Download Multi-Tool, XT1092 Modem, Lollipop OTA
1. Enable USB debugging.
2. Use the Multi-Tool to go back to KK stock, full wipe option. *this will most likely **** up your modem, don't worry*
3. Reboot with the stock, enable USB debugging again.
4. Move the OTA zip to your SD card on your phone.
4. Use a CMD window in the Multi-Tool directory to 'adb reboot recovery' if you use Mac './adb reboot recovery'
5. Once in recovery press volume up for three seconds, then press the power button along with it. A menu should appear.
6. Navigate to 'apply update from zip' or whatever it says, not the ADB option.
7. It should flash. Once it's done, reboot. You won't have signal still but don't worry. All in good time.
8. Factory reset after the first boot, don't sign in or anything.
9. Once you have booted again after the reset enable USB debugging again.
10. Reboot to bootloader so 'adb reboot bootloader' or if Mac './adb reboot bootloader'
11. Let's get our signal back.
12. Unzip the contents of the XT1092 modem zip. You will need to type the following:
Code:
'mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin'
'mfastboot erase modemst1'
'mfastboot erase modemst2'
'mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn'
13. Then 'fastboot reboot'
NB: To do points 12 and 13, you will be best to copy the relevant files from the Multi-Tool into the XT1092 modem unzipped directory.
You should now have Lollipop. Root if you want after. It's essentially official too. I did amend my build.prop after as it does state XT1095 as the device which is wrong.

Same steps can be applyed to a XT1097? Just have to extract the correct modem firmware for my device?
Thanks!
Edit: Sorry, just skimmed through the text and didn't saw this was mentioned already.
Another question though, doing this procedure needs an unlocked bootloader? Even if not, this qualifies as a awaranty void?
Thanks any way for the gruide!

you do need an unlocked bootloader as far as I understand... I wanted to try it but backing up my modem files first... at least that required an unlocked bootloader, so I decided not to try it yet...

use TWRP it is better to upgrade to preserve baseband and modem cfg, however you can also use full fastboot flashing and reinstall your modem settings, i used twrp and no major issues so far...

[Q] XT1097 unstoppable reboot

Hello mighty XDA developers,
Reason(?):
I have f**ked my XT1097 (Bootloader unlocked, Telus, Canada). I tried to root my Lollipop phone with bhp090808's multi-tool V4.1. Somehow the tool was unsuccessful on rooting my phone. It installed supersu and that was that.
With Supersu installed, apps were somehow unable to download from Google Play, therefore I disabled it and the problem was gone. I was then in vacation so I have no access of Windows so I left it at that for a week, phone ran normally.
After I got back form vacation, I reverted my phone back to stock recovery and 4.4.4 with the Multi-tool, in order to try re-rooting the phone. I might or might not have started the root process when I was in 4.4.4 (I honestly don't remember). Afterwards my phone's wifi stopped working (cannot be turned on or off, with the status of "Turning Wifi On"). The phone also reboots itself after around 1 minute.
I have a bad flash, now whenever I update to Lollipop, my wifi stops working and I get nonstop reboots. Phone is perfectly fine when I stay in KK
and I have lost my IMEI
Tried methods:
- I have tried erasing the phone by going into the backup and reset menu to reset the phone,the same problems remain.
- I have tried clearing the phone by erasing data and catch from stock recovery, the same problems remain.
- I have tried using the Muti-Tool to revert back to stock. but then the phone restarts every time before adb can do anything
- I have tried using RSD, flashing the Brazilian XT1097 .img into the phone. Despite a successfully flash, the same problems remain.
Problem:
- Phone's wifi is stuck
- Phone keeps rebooting (safe mode or not)
- When phone is powered off, it will restart itself and then go on the reboot loop again (even when i boot into safe mode and turn it off form there)
- Phone does not turn off without rebooting itself other than powering off from Recovery
- Phone Cannot be charged
Help needed!
I really messed my phone up and need help! Please can someone suggest a solution? I dont have TWRP so I cannot wipe system and reinstall

Press and hold the power button to shut it off and then immediately press and hold the vol down and then press and hold power. Hold both for about 4 seconds and release. This should put you into fastboot mode. Then plug the device into your computer and start Motorola Device Manager.

If you are not completely stock 100%, it is best not to take the OTA b/c the OTA is a patch.
I would revert back to whatever version of KK system you did before, and also have a stock recovery. Then use Motorola Device Manager to get back to L. MDM should flash the correct version of system for your device.
Do you have MDM on your computer?

Motorola Device Manager should download it and install it to your phone if you flash back to kit kat and then run MDM with your phone connected to your computer.

You have to flash the stock Telus firmware.
Use rsdlite or mfastboot to return your phone to stock 5.0.1.
You can download it here: (yes it will take a few hours)

All you can do is try, you have flashed back to KK before so you know it doesn't brick your phone. I am only talking about flashing the SYSTEM (system.img) back to kit kat, not the bootloader or the partition table. If you have a custom recovery, I don't think it will work though. I think you need a stock recovery. The recovery can be lollipop.
When I flash my Verizon XT1096 back to kitkat system, with lollipop stock recovery, MDM will flash my system back to lollipop.
I understand about the issue with the different models, and I can't tell you whether MDM will have a problem with that or not, but if it does, it will just do nothing. You have flashed back to XT1095 KK before so I don't see why it would hurt to see what MDM does. It will be able to tell you have an XT1097 so it won't try to install a system for an XT1095.

Hi steve, I am getting "Failed flashing process. 3/21 flash partition "gpt.bin" -> Phone returned FAIL
Did i do something wrong?
EDIT: replaced the gpt file and the motoboot file with the 5.0.1 file.
EDIT 2: at 4.4.4 rectca, imei and radio is back, but there is no update to L, if I rsd the 5.0.1 rectca, the same issue comes back

What else have you all flashed, if you tried the 5.1 soak you likely will have to skip flashing gpt and motoboot.

Well I really feel like there is something you're not telling us that you've done in the past to the phone. Please try to give detailed answers.
#1 - Are you 100% sure it is a Telus phone and not a Wind Mobile XT1097?
#2 - When flashing the Telus 5.0.1 image what does the phone say when the process fails?
#3 - You mention flashing 4.4.4 - do you mean a full image or just some of the files like you are mixing and matching some 4.4.4 and some 5.0.1?

#1 - Are you 100% sure it is a Telus phone and not a Wind Mobile XT1097?
No, I won this poem from Motorola and it arrived to my doorsteps unlocked. It might be on Wind, sorry I didn't think of this possibility
#2 - When flashing the Telus 5.0.1 image what does the phone say when the process fails?
The process doesn't fail while fishing to L, it only failed when I tried to flash it from the broken L to KK. When my phone is on L, the wifi, signal doesn't work, and it reboots. As shown in the video
https://youtu.be/pDCCr2BE4n0
#3 - You mention flashing 4.4.4 - do you mean a full image or just some of the files like you are mixing and matching some 4.4.4 and some 5.0.1?[/QUOTE]
Well like I said I tried flashing the KK that you linked to me, but then it gets stuck at gpt and motoboot. So I got the two files from the L zip and KK flashes successfully. Works like a charm too. Other than that fact that it doesn't update
Extra info. I have had TWRP and CM12.1 just because it was the only way for the phone to charge
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

It all sounds pretty weird. I suspect the phone may actually be a Wind mobile retail edition. They come factory unlocked, the Telus version would be locked.
The link I gave was Lollipop 5.0.1 for the Telus version. Being I think you have the Wind mobile here is the link for the Wind mobile 4.4.4:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/38yhbfahth0p/RETCA_XT1097_4.4.4_KXE21.187-52_cid14_CFC.xml.zip
When you download the file and try to flash using rsdlite gpt and motoboot will fail as they cannot be downgraded. This is not a problem. Just edit the xml file to remove them and then flash the entire package with rsdlite. When done you will be on factory 4.4.4. At that point you should get prompted to update to 5.0.1.
