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

[waqy.]

moto-fastboost for OSX:

compiled from files posted by eval-
For mac one has to compile using
gcc -o fastboot usb_osx.c util_osx.c fastboot.c protocol.c engine.c bootimg.c -lz ../libzipfile/zipfile.c ../libzipfile/centraldir.c -I../include -I../libzipfile -I../mkbootimg -framework CoreFoundation -framework IOKit

So, using eval-'s awesome moto-fastboot from the post above this one, combined with the wonders of an unlocked bootloader, we may finally start to enjoy full roms/gingerbread!

To flash the HKTW files, make sure you unlocked your bootloader. Then, download the following:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=12A2NF3O
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=J2VJSGZ7

Extract them to obtain the following files:

1c78b33d92f6b956bffbf4b668888ce4  atrix-2.3.4-hktw-boot.img
18effca0371c7dbb36ec54443e72414b  atrix-2.3.4-hktw-system.img

(Alternatively, you may use sbf_flash -x to extract these files directly from the SBF.)

Now boot your phone into fastboot mode, and issue the following commands:

sudo ./moto-fastboot flash boot atrix-2.3.4-hktw-boot.img
sudo ./moto-fastboot flash system atrix-2.3.4-hktw-system.img
sudo ./moto-fastboot flash -w
sudo ./moto-fastboot reboot

Now observe your jaws dropping as you start to explore this awesome build!

Thanks to eval, the2dcour & [mbm] !

3rd step, moto-fastboot flash -w <--Wrong lol

moto-fastboot -w <---right

I like this build.
You can now set your LCD Density to 275 in the build.prop file and the dialer still works!

Yeah I've been reloading this over and over waiting for that too! Very anxious to try out 2.3.4 but dont have any space on hard drive for a linux partition at the moment.

I've been waiting for an Android to PC video chat for the Atrix. Has anyone tried Google Talk/Video with this build yet?

When will this be working for windows?

When will this be working for windows?

Supposed to be friday today sometime. So wait shouldn'tbe too long.

Sorry if I had a windows PC available I would but I have never dev'd for windows and my VirtualBox with MinGW is... somewhere (I forget.) Too busy today and for the next two weeks to look into this, but it's really easy so I'm sure someone will come thru! There's no harm in learning some Linux and booting a live CD... if you want to better understand Android, which is running a Linux kernel after all...

 

[jahizen]

does this mean no more moto blur?

No problem! Thanks for everything you've done!! Someone will do it soon I'm sure!

Correct, you'll be able to flash your own kernels with an unlocked phone

No problem! Thanks for everything you've done!! I believe you're buddy the2dcour is supposed to be the one making a windows version of this today!! I'm pretty sure it was him who said that in a previous post!

Where did the2dcour say that?

 

[jahizen]

Correct, you'll be able to flash your own kernels with an unlocked phone

could you guide me in the direction closest to me accomplishing so?

Jahizen

Jahizen, if you are asking this question, then this may be above your skill level; the build people are using is not what you want as a daily driver, camera and fingerprint readers are borked, and good luck using your lapdock with it! Basically, EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT KEXEC/2ndINIT or GENERAL BOOTLOADER SHENANIGANS ARE, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WAITING 4-15 DAYS, BY THEN EITHER THE GINGERBREAD OTA FOR YOUR PHONE WILL BE OUT, OR AN EASY TO FLASH ROM WILL BE HERE AT XDA.

Nevermind I think that was a different thread and topic too much stuff going on I may have gotten confused I corrected my post!

Trying to help

+ Hey guys I took the plunge unlocked and flashed 2.3.4 on my Acer netbook ill make a little guide of how I did which may prove useful and mods can keep it or leave as this is my first useful post.( And just so people know I'm using the 2.3.4 build and the xda premium app to write this)

First off go to your favorite torrent site hint I use the aye mayte to download 32 bit version of Ubuntu 11.04 then download the windows installer which will allow u to dual boot windows and Ubuntu
Just so everyone knows I'm using a 32 bit system so I'm downloading moto-fastboot32.zip for fast boot
Then download ATRIX 2.3.4 hktw-boot and hits system
Make a new folder named ATRIX in home folder
Open a terminal and type in sud-apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
Then extract all files you downloaded to that folder
RENAME Moto-fastboot32 to mot-fastboot
right click open terminal in the folder with the files and type
Sudo ./moto-fastboot flash boot atrix-2.3.4-boot.Inc
Then type Sudo ./moto-fastboot flash system atrix-2.3.4-hktw-system.Inc
Sorry before u type both those commands pull out your battery then hold the power button plus volume down button and wait till it says fastboot then release both and push volume up hope this helps people out and thanks for all the helps from the people who made this possible

Hey guys. I don't know if this is relevant at all, but I can't seem to log into my MotoBlur account.

Any help?


EDIT: Nevermind. Found that you can skip setup altogether.
