Hello everyone
I have a Bell MB886 that I bought on Amazon.com. It came with ICS 4.0.4, and OTA doesn't work for me (maybe because I'm from Chile).
I saw this post and wanted to install stock Bell's 4.1.2 for my Atrix HD using RSD Lite, which gave me lots of errors, and when I finnaly could make it work, it gave me an error flashing system.img.
I thought I bricked my phone, cause even trying to flash other original ROMs, it gave the same error message.
From this point, I did some research on the internet and I want to share my experience with you guys to flash the Stock ROMs using the manual method on our Atrix HD's.
First: Get the firmwares.

Once you download the firmware ZIP, uncompress it to any folder you want (I recommend using the C:\ root or your desktop).
Then you need to download the file "fastboots.zip" (attached to this post).
Uncompress the files located on the Windows folder of the file fastboots.zip on the folder you decompressed the stock ROM.
If you want to replace the original recovery with CWM, you can replace the file "recovery.img" on the folder you decompressed the stock ROM with the one attached to this post (uncompress it on the same folder).
You should get something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There you have the files "fastboot" (with orange, the one you will use to flash), "MB886~.xml" (the XML file that contains the instructions for flashing the system), and if you replaced it, contains the modified recovery.img (in yellow).
So, now we will analyze the MB886_bell-user-4.1.2-9.8.2Q-8_MB886_FFW-11-4-release-keys-BellMobility-CA.xml file. There is always a XML file named as the ROM name, that contains the instructions to RSD Lite for flashing the file. We will use this instructions for manually flashing our file.
Open the XML file with Notepad and you should see this:
The lines on red are useless for us. The rest of lines are the ones we have to insert on the fastboot command line.
Let's analyze the lines.
Every line includes an operation (command), var/partition, and filename. We have to tell the command line the commands between < >. For example:
When the XML file says this:
<step operation="flash" partition="partition" filename="gpt_main0.bin" MD5="66250529A6711D25A1AFB4F8D4CA4873" />
It tells to the command line:
flash partition gpt_main0.bin
So, now we will flash our device.
I assume you have installed Motorola's Drivers (link) and put your phone on fastboot mode (Turn off your phone and press both volume keys and power on. You'll enter bootmenu options. Choose AP Fastboot by scrolling with volume down and volume up to select).
This guide is intended for use under Windows 7 64-bit, as I have not tested it on other platforms. Do it at your own risk as I assume no responsability if this doesn't work for you as it worked for me.
Go to the folder on which you extracted the files, and click the adress bar and type CMD and hit enter, doing this we open the command line on the folder you are actually.
So, now we have to flash the rom, typing the commands on the XML file on the command line.
If the XML file says the following:
Code:
<step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />
<step operation="flash" partition="partition" filename="gpt_main0.bin" MD5="66250529A6711D25A1AFB4F8D4CA4873" />

<step operation="erase" partition="modemst2" />
<step operation="flash" partition="logo" filename="logo.bin" MD5="06C07C2970460A4E656A3206859A3617" />

<step operation="flash" partition="recovery" filename="recovery.img" MD5="3C3AF0A695CCDD57897C861AA58CC5EB" />
<step operation="flash" partition="devtree" filename="device_tree.bin" MD5="E0E4804A20D47C379B2F718F1C118B8A" />

<step operation="flash" partition="cdrom" filename="cdrom" MD5="C3A09EA2D007AC96F4BA7AA09B478ABE" />
<step operation="erase" partition="tombstones" />
<step operation="erase" partition="cache" />
<step operation="erase" partition="userdata" />
<step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_clear" />
We have to insert the following on the command line (hitting enter between lines):
fastboot flash partition gpt_main0.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash sbl2 sbl2.mbn
fastboot flash sbl3 sbl3.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash devtree device_tree.bin
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cdrom cdrom
fastboot erase tombstones
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
If between every step you see the OK message, every went ok. Type fastboot reboot and you should see your new system working OK.
I hope this helps anyone that had the same problem as I had, as RSD Lite didn't work for me, and almost bricked my new Atrix HD :good:
Greetings,
I also did this before Btw, nice guide for anyone who cant use RSDLite to flash.

wow u are super awesome, i thought i surely bricked my atrix but this brought it back from the grave, thank you, thank you, thank you. lol
fixed my moto atrix hd phone!!
hey so i got it figured out by following these directions from xda ppl http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2259661 im all good again & brought back from dead. but question do u think i can now use cwm recovery to flash a stock at&t rom onto phone cuz i flashed a stock bell rom but maybe i will stick with that because 1. its jb 4.1.2 verus at&t 4.1.1 & 2. it lets the wifi hotspot feature built into rom work where as at&t 4.1.1 rom blocked it? ty tho for all your help. ron. :highfive:
It worked 4 me, i upgraded my bell's atrix hd from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2, thanks!
Saved my phone
You are awesome! I was so afraid I'd bricked my phone. I've been lurking the forum for a while, but finally joined just to say thanks.
Hello everyone. I'm glad to hear that this worked for you too :laugh:

Honestly I don't know, as I have not ever installed AT&T ROMs on my phone, only Bell ones. As far as I know, you can install AT&T ROMs on Bell phones, but only if they have unlocked bootloaders. As a matter of fact, there is a guide for that! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050283
Hope this helps.
Greetings,
mega thanks, leanix ! ! !
leanix, i was SOOoo close to just giving up on my Atrix HD... (read my plight at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394238&page=2 ).
Very grateful for your post. It was time consuming and tedious to execute all the commands, but have just loaded epinter's rom and excited about having an AWESOME Atrix HD breathing fire!
Whew!!!!

hello I do not understand how it is to put the commands in the cmd you could make a video .. I when I try to flashar with lite rs I get error in "BOOT.IMG" know it can be?
well crud...
Right in the middle of flashing a new ROM (the PACMAN) my sWindows machine goes to the infamous blue-screen-of-death... Now the phone is in bootflash mode and won't accept any flashing.
After spending most of the day trying various 'tricks' to no avail, I'm resolved to send it to mobiletechvideos.com and let them revive it. I think it will take a JTAG to jump-start this guy...
I'll post a reply when it's returned and report on what they were able to do.

mobiletechvideos.com did good on my Atrix HD
I've had a month now to play with my revived Atrix HD! I sent my bricked phone to mobiletechvideos.com and they were able to install the PACMAN rom onto it (pac_mb866_4.3.Build-1_20130917-025321). So far, so good. I'm very happy to have a working 4.3 on the AHD. And thanks to Skeevy420 for his work to port this rom.

So what I found out is that you can not "cross flash" without encountering errors. Find out which base your phone is currently, as the partition table my be different and you may not be able to flash gpt_main0.bin. I got the point I couldn't use RSDlite to flash any of the 4.1.x stock roms without it failing. Had to do it manually, when you find which, you're able to flash it all without errors.

I just had that problem last night. I followed the OP's guide, but only ran this one command: fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin. Make sure NON-HLOS.bin is in the same directory as fastboot.exe
I am hoping someone out there will be able to help me with my Motorola Atrix HD which I have soft bricked. Previously I was running it with Jellybean and safestrap installed. I flashed a ROM using safestrap, but apparently it was still pointing to the stock location. I got an error for the ROM installation and when I tried to reboot, it went to a screen with a android lying down with a red triangle. I was able to get it into Android System Recovery Utility, but haven't been able to get anything to install. I also tried RSD lite with the appropriate files and have received 1/24 partition errors, 1/23 partition errors, and several other errors. I have tried to flash CWM and install other roms, but nothing works. I would appreciate any help on this. Thank You.
Safestrap is a dead and extinct method. Use Mythtools and read about the edited xml files so you can properly flash via RSD.

See post #2 for the short answer.
Now for the cause:
You flashed an unlocked bootloader rom on a locked bootloader phone. The stock recovery you have access to will only flash signed roms from Motorola and you can't replace it with CWM until you've unlocked the phone. Like post 2 said, download MythTools and have it get you back to stock, say yes to using stock recovery, then either root it and do what you were doing or unlock it, install Philz CWM, and start using the custom roms. For RSD to work for you right now, extract the fastboot, open up the xml file, and delete the two lines with -- <step operation="oem" -- in them.
FWIW, we should have an actual KitKat update sometime eventually soon and that will contain a fix to prevent the bootloader from being unlocked. If you don't unlock the bootloader before that update you probably never will.
This is for Bell ICS stock. You have to use ATT JB fastboot's xml, don't copy/paste this -- the md5sums are different but the changes are the same. The lines to remove are in bold.

Thanks for the help. Do I need to enter the code listed in your post? Also what would I need to do to unlock the bootloader. I am a little new at this. Thanks again.

After reading your post again, I realized I just need to remove the 2 lines from the xml file.
Thanks.
Just download MythTools. It'll do everything for you.
See the MythTools thread for links and getting it set up.
First use it to flash the stock att jb fastboot, the Android 4.1.1 one -- assuming you were using stock att jb here
All our fastboots are located here.
And when it gets to the recovery flash, select stock because you're locked
Let it boot up, and you can skip all setup and restoration crap, you'll be doing a factory reset real soon
Once booted to the homescreen, use MythTools to root it.
Once rooted and rebooted, use MythTools again to unlock the bootloader.
After that flash Philz CWM....Myth does that too.
When you unlock it does a factory reset so you can either setup the stock ATT
Or flash a different stock fastboot (use Myth....) or one of the many custom roms we have here.
