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

[jruweaver]

Does anyone know why I get this error with both Linux and romracer's Windows Fastboot running the first line?

      sending 'boot' (3358 KB)... OKAY [  0.320s]
                writing 'boot'... FAILED (remote: (00180002))

does it say unlocked in the top left corner?

can someone explain the diefference between the FASTBOOT file we used for unlocking the bootloader, and the MOTO-FASTBOOT we use to install these partitions?

So we can flash this with Windows now?

yes u can!
finaly i am on gingerbread

The moto-fastboot allows larger partition sizes to be flashed (system on our phone for example).

I fixed it, reflashed the unlock SBF.
After I flashed the .img files and typed the reboot the command, my phone went into a bootloop.
Anyone know why and how to fix it?

Did you run this?
sudo ./moto-fastboot -w

It wipes your user data if you don't it bootloops

Trying the windows one right now and seeing how that goes now.

Did you run this?
sudo ./moto-fastboot -w

It wipes your user data if you don't it bootloops

I couldn't, it gave me this error:

unknown partition '-w'
error: cannot determine image filename for '-w'

Here is a MinGW32 compiled version that does not require the Cygwin DLLs. I compiled it using the following command:

gcc -D_WIN32 -static -o moto-fastboot.exe usb_windows.c util_windows.c fastboot.c protocol.c engine.c bootimg.c ../libzipfile/zipfile.c ../libzipfile/centraldir.c -lz AdbWinApi.a -I../include -I../libzipfile -I../mkbootimg

I had to install the standard MinGW / MSYS setup along with libz for MinGW here. Its beyond the scope of this post to go into details on how to do that install.

I have included the source I used because I needed a few extra header files and a static library for AdbWinApi. I also included the standard ADB DLLs in the exe zip, though if you've installed ADB before you should already have them.

Maybe try wiping your user data from recovery...?

i was trying yesterday all night to compile it but even after i downloaded the linux kernel there were some files that gcc wouldn't find .

can you explain me how did you compile it and what did you download?

i installed cygwin and downloaded the gcc4-core package and added a -I line that pointed to my downloaded linux kernel, found some files but still it failed. I concluded that i needed the android source rather than the linux kernel but it was late and got tired

Finally got this working But at the top right, it displays 3G, does that mean 4g isn't working with this?

4G (HSPA+) works fine.
The H+ image is not in the framework-res file.

can we use gingerbreak to root this build?

 

[doyleafagan]

Any luck with the windows version yet?

Alright, thanks a bunch!

Will this work on 64 bit or not?
