[HOWTO] (moto-fastboot) Flash a build on an unlocked Atrix

[rjohnstone]

Thanks a lot! I found it but now I can't save it. I'm using File Expert because I can't buy Root Explorer right now. It says I don't have the permissions to save it or w/e. I tried giving write permissions to the system folder and the build.prop file but after I clicked Apply they both went back to the original settings. How do I fix it?

EDIT:
Oh, here's the error/thing that pops up when I try to save build.prop

The directory system is not writable.

How do I make it writable?

Use Super Manager from the Market. (Requires Root)
It's free and allows you to open /System in Read Write mode.

6. I think webtop is gone for now. But feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on this point.

Someone posted a webtop fix earlier in this thread, but no one has talked about it so either no one saw it or has tried it. LOL.

Since I have the lapdock and did not want to revert to Froyo, I thought I'd give a more detailed explanation than the hint I worked from to re-enable webtop (with firefox 4.0.1!):

Download the leaked HK/TW sbf file and the 'sbf_flash' for linux (I did this under 32-bit ubuntu).

use sbf_flash -x 1FF-olympus_hktw...sbf

This will extract a collection of .img files.

Place your device in fastboot mode via the volume-down then volume-up procedure and verify it exists with:

sudo ./moto-fastboot32 devices

Then:

sudo ./moto-fastboot32 flash webtop CG61.img

This will run a 3-step flashing process. Once completed, do:

sudo ./moto-fastboot32 reboot

Voila. Webtop works and actually seems faster.

Hope this helps.

Anybody tryied this?

I didnt understood (sorry, I´m noob).

Where´s "sbf_flash" and "1FF-olympus_hktw...sbf"?

I´m using 2.3.4 already.


EDIT: Wow, the answer

cool little tip:
when using launcher pro replace the LPappLauncher with an AppGroup shortcut to All Apps and you can use the new MotoBlur appDrawer with LauncherPro, or any other launcher.

A few people messaged me asking how to install on windows.


Here's what i did, I extracted moto-fastboot-win32 to the root of my C drive and renamed the folder to moto-fastboot.
Then in the same folder(moto-fastboot), I place the boot and system images. (atrix-2.3.4-hktw-boot.img and atrix-2.3.4-hktw-system.img)

After open up a command prompt.
If you did all the previous steps correctly, type one at a time in the order as listed :
cd C:\moto-fastboot
moto-fastboot flash boot atrix-2.3.4-hktw-boot.img
moto-fastboot flash system atrix-2.3.4-hktw-system.img
moto-fastboot -w
moto-fastboot reboot

And thats it, you should have Gingerbread 2.3.4 on your Atrix 4G via Windows X64/X86

This works.!

I wonder if anyone is gonna take the 2.3.4 leak and make it into a flashable update.zip file? Is anyone working on that with the included fixes?

Downloading system zip now, though it is god awful slow. Still beats nothing at all

What are the chances that current themes will work on 2.3.4? i'm guessing none

Is the battery not going above 90% when charging a known bug?

I can't tell all y'all how much I am looking forward to playing with this. Have it installed and started working on getting everything reinstalled. Absolutely amazing!

270 seems to be the sweet spot.

The launcher itself leaves a HUGE gap between the bottom row and the dock icons.
No way to easily fix that. Time to find another launcher.

None are included.
You need to make a folder called Ringtones on SDCARD and drop in your own.
Make a sub folder called Notifications under Ringtones for your SMS type alerts.
