Just clarifying, with any future betas or updates can we just flash those without flashing the original, beta one?

Yes sir! Once the installer is stable and I move to a Release Candidate, I will then just give updater installers instead. At the moment, the installer just re-does everything.

Sweet, made it past the att screen :)

One question though, I can't seem to find the GB keyboard. I see it when in looking in my files, tried renaming .apk, but wouldn't install?

ok, sorry that took so long, but with fresh 4_1.5.2 i got the following results.

Beta 3 installed.
*reboot*
Flashing red led Soft Brick
*pull battery*
Stuck at ATT logo with white flashing led
*pull battery*
Spent 5m at ATT logo, then successful lock screen.

Also the GB keyboard successfully worked for me.

TL;DR Beta 3 works, but is abit sketchy ;)

Thank you for the feedback. Wonder why so many are experiencing the stupid AT&T screen freeze. At least battery pull gets you out of it usually!

BETA 4 now online.

yesterday on my arooted device i just wanted to try superoneclick, and did a shell root (stupid mistake)
after that phone started acting weird, and when i rebooted i got a freeze on the att logo. but it resolved itself after 5 minutes or so.

remembering my linux days, either a fsck ran or something similar that takes a lot of time. linux isn't really made to be rebooted often.

    Step-by-Step Directions for GingerBlur installation

    Prerequisites
    RSD Lite
    1.2.6 SBF
    Full battery for SBF flash is highly recommended if you don't want a brick
    Root v2
    Tenfar's CWM recovery
    Windows PC
    Drivers installed
    32-bit or 64-bit
    ​
    Outline​
    Part Zero - Download GingerBlur​

    1. Download the GingerBlur installation .zip from the GingerBlur website
    2. Mount your Atrix 4G via USB and put the GingerBlur installation .zip file on your external micro SD card
    Part One - SBF Flash 1.2.6​

    1. Download RSD Lite from the link above
    2. Install RSD Lite on your computer
    3. Unplug your device from USB
    4. Turn off your device
    5. Hold down the "Volume Up" button and the "Power" button while turning on your device until it says "Starting RSD protocol support"
    6. Run RSD Lite on your computer
    7. Press the ". . ." button next to the box labeled "Filename"
    8. Download the 1.2.6 SBF file and extract it from the .zip
      Password: atrixbl
    9. Load up the SBF file
      • The SBF file is located inside of the zipped file, you must extract it out before loading it into RSD Lite
      • Use WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract the file on your computer
    10. Plug your device into your computer
      • Use the USB ports on the back side of your computer for safety
    11. RSD Lite should recognize your device and say “Model: NS Flash Olympus” and “Connected…”
    12. Press the “Start” button
    13. Be patient while the phone reboots. It will take a long time.
    14. Congratulations!
    Part Two - Root v2​

    1. Download Ririal's Root v2
    2. Extract the files to C:\retainroot. Do not install anywhere else.
    3. Enable USB debugging (Settings -> Applications -> Development)
    4. Connect your device to the USB port
    5. Set USB mode to "None"
    6. Run beforeupdate.bat
      (If you're using Windows 7, run as admin by holding down control and double-clicking)
    7. Verify that there are no errors before updating
    8. Go to Settings -> About phone -> System updates
    9. Follow the on-screen instructions. First download the update (you will need a Wi-Fi connection for this), then it will prompt you to install.
    10. The update will reboot the device and install itself
    11. When it boots back up, verify USB debugging is still on (Settings -> Applications -> Development)
    12. Run afterupdate.bat
      (If you're using Windows 7, run as admin by holding down control and double-clicking)
    13. Make sure you allow the superuser request (quickly) on your phone
    14. Now you're rooted on 1.5.7!
    Part Three - Tenfar's CWM Recovery​

    1. Download Tenfar's CWM Recovery
    2. Mount your device to USB
    3. Put the .apk on your device
    4. Unplug your device
    5. Navigate to the file explorer, install "MOTOA4_Bootstrap_0404_1549-signed.apk"
    6. When the installation completes, run the application
    7. Click "Install Recovery"
    8. Accept the Superuser request
    9. Click "Install Recovery" again for good measure
    10. After success, plug your Atrix 4G into the wall adapter
    11. Verify that your phone is charging from the wall
    12. Press "Recovery Boot"
    13. Your device will now slowly reboot into Tenfar's CWM Recovery
    14. Click “install zip from SDCARD”
    15. Choose zip from sdcard
    16. Pick the GingerBlur .zip
    17. Install it!
    What the heck?!

    • Blame Motorola for patching the root method so that we have to do all the retain root steps
    • Older versions of GingerBlur, MODs, etc. can mess things up... so we need to flash the SBF
    • Don't worry! There will be fewer steps for future updates. In the future, you'll just need to throw a brand new update .zip file on your SD card and flash it through recovery.

    GingerBlur v4
    - New framework-res with easy no error decompilation
    - Updated applications
    - Fixed sdcard mount sound disable
    - Added 3G/H distinction :)

    Sorry I could not fix the Root Explorer problem. Let's all cross our fingers and hope Gingerbread fixes it. I hope it does.

    I apologize for my absence from this thread. I've got a very busy week with school.

    Everyone should try and help each other out with their problems in this thread.

    I'm working on GingerBlur 4. It's not a feature-packed release, but it does have some important improvements that will allow themers and modders to create better products based off of GingerBlur. I'd also like to improve the text-on-battery MOD for better visibility and looks.
