Will this work on a 64-bit windows? If not, can you make one for 64-bit? Thanks.

Will this work on 64 bit or not?

I don't see any reason it won't. I compiled it on my work laptop which is a 32-bit Windows 7 install. I won't be able to test it on Win7 64-bit until after work.

The -D_WIN32 is only there to prevent redefinition of the load_file function in the actual code. Its not saying "32-bit binary only" (though I can see the confusion from it). Blame Motorola for that one

Ok, noob question, sorry this is my first android phone, and thus my first time dealing with fastboot etc...

1) Do we install the Moto-fastboot the same way we installed regular fastboot? Referring to the windows version of Moto-fastboot just posted.

2) Will Moto-fastboot replace the standard fastboot already installed? Any other differences between the two besides one can flash custom moto builds and one can't?

3) What is other zip for windows, fastbootNfriends?

1) Install? You mean extract the zip somewhere? It should be the same, nothing special.

2) I believe it replaces it, but there's no harm in having a fastboot.exe and moto-fastboot.exe. I haven't performed in depth analysis to determine if something is missing from moto-fastboot.exe but it seems unlikely.

3) Its the source code I used to build on Windows. It contains a few extra header files and a library for gcc to link ADB with.

Gotcha.. it's a .exe file... sorry, I'm out and about right now and didn't download the .zip to peak inside... I'll put it in the tools folder of sdk with regular fast boot. Thanks for the quick response.

[Gutterball]

when in doubt i would go back to start and flash the full 4.1.26 sbf to get a fresh start again

edit: nevermind it seems you figured out your problem. glad to hear!

tnx
i find how to fixed it!
just turn the phone on in fastboot and wipe 2.3.4 user data via : fastboot -w

I've noticed that the data connection is sometimes inconsistent. At first it wouldn't work at all. Speedtest.net often does not work on account of it doesn't ever seem to finish locating a server even tho the GPS appears to be locking.

My 3G/data icon was grey last night. I watched it turned blue when I was playing with the phone this morning. I wonder what it means. HSPA+ perhaps?

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

The image resolution is messed up a little

It seems the xdpi and ydpi are wrong in the GB rom:

DisplayMetrics{density=1.5, width=540, height=960, scaledDensity=1.5, xdpi=240.0, ydpi=240.0}

Should be:

DisplayMetrics{density=1.5, width=540, height=960, scaledDensity=1.5, xdpi=160.0, ydpi=160.0}

(Different from the actual density which should be, and is, 240). I'm guessing this is why the stock keyboard/Market/AdMob ads/Moto-widgets, etc all look a little wrong. I don't know how to fix it though...

Anyone got a solution?

Does anyone know how this moto-fastboot is different from the fastboot in the Edible Pudding thread, if at all??

Thanks.

Worked like a charm thanks
