Im about ready to unlock my bootloader and install gingerbread, but I have one question first.

If for any reason something doesnt work right for me, can I return to 1.83?

yes sam made some fruitcakes over in the dev forum. 1.8.3 is one of them.

Great. Thanks. Im reading like crazy to make sure I do this right, but man, so much work. I remember the captivate days. It was so simple. Damn motorola, why did they have to make things so crazy.

And while Im here, let me ask a question. I went to the link on the first page of this thread to download gingerbread. Do I grab the Gingerbread 4.5 Beta or the 4.5.91?

Isn't it safe to flash via RSD if you flash this Stock Gingerbread Rom?

As long as you didn't apply the update you can rsd all you want.

Hey guys- two quick questions.

If we unlock the BL to flash this, does that prevent us from receiving future OTA updates?

Also, if we unlock the BL now, will our BL become locked again once the official OTA update comes out this month? Im looking at it from a warranty coverage point of view.

Sorry if this sounds redundant. I've searched for the answers but havnt been able to find the answers.

Thanks

If this is anything like the Xoom you probably will NOT be able to receive OTA without relocking the bootloader.

********
Currently running Atrix 4.5.91 unlocked bootloader and rooted
Xoom Wifi on Tiamat 1.1 OC kernal
Captivate 1006 running Continuum 6.1 & Talon.

Everyone, make sure you also know about the moto-fastboot.exe (for windows) that will split the large .img files when sending to the phone. The one I downloaded from this thread is the moto-fastboot-win32.zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138092

Otherwise, you may get a version of fastboot that will not do this and will result in something like:

E:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash system system.img
sending 'system' (327680 KB)...
(bootloader) Image is too big, use 0x10000000 bytes chunks
FAILED (remote: (00000006))
finished. total time: 0.002s

This is great! I got sick of my phone needing a reboot everyday cause desktop folders would stop working. I've missed my GB of my N1...

Any clue on how to get the webtop.img installed? I've got a lapdock and obviously it no worky no more.

Yeah Webtop doesn't work for me either after flashing the webtop.img (I have the Webtop dock that outputs HDMI to my monitor and has the USB inputs).

Followed steps here and elsewhere and went from .83 gingerblur to stock 2.3.4 gingerbread, rooted. Everything works well so far. Thanks.

I'm on Kenn's latest 2.3.4 Beta #4. What does that add (or remove) that would make it worth moving to this stock image, or for that matter, moving from this stock to Kenn's ROM if the shoe were on the other foot?

It was more obvious with earlier GingerBlur P-ROM's, as it was a clear GB upgrade from Froyo, and removed the motoblur nonsense. On 2.3.4, I'm not certain what features I'm getting from Kenn's ROM.

Sorry if this is obvious, and I've missed it...

 

[kenslaters]

So far so good, the rom works excellent
Even internet goes faster i think...

webtop doesn't work...
the phone signal icons doesn't work...only shows 1 bar everytime...signal is strong anyway

that's my report

I'm getting stuck in the "waiting for device" prompt.. tried several different usb cables and different ports. I'm on HKTW. Anyone had similar trouble / fix?

After you start up the device by holding power + volume down and seeing the word "Fastboot", you need to hit volume up to bring up the message "Starting Fastboot protocol support"

That should fix it for you.

 

[Nebbeh]

Duh. Thanks. I've obviously done it before but I guess I just blanked out.

 

[crnkoj]

hey i installed it, without problems, but ugh the battery life is abysmal... it like discharged at least 60% in 6 hours while in airplane mode.... anyone has similar issues or a fix for that ?

deodexed or odexed

Warning

Don't worry, they won't give you a brickable device like the over-the-air zip.​

​

Description

I've uploaded the stock images for those who want to check out 4.5.91 without trying a custom ROM or creating a brickable device.

You'll still need an unlocked bootloader to flash these images, but they should provide you with a clean version of 4.5.91 that works perfectly.​

Download

Instructions

1. Download moto-fastboot for your operating system
2. Turn your device off
3. Boot into "Fastboot mode" by holding down the bottom volume button while pressing power.
4. Use the following commands to flash the images:
   • moto-fastboot flash boot boot.img
   • moto-fastboot flash system system.img
5. Use the following commands to wipe data and reboot:
   • moto-fastboot -w
   • moto-fastboot reboot

Hello Kenneth

My first post,
Thanks for your work, amazing.

I installed the images you posted, they work well. After trying to modify the
framework.jar in order to fix Right to Left with other languages I noticed that
your *.images are odexed.

Can you load deodexed images?

Thanks

Worked for me. Love being on Gingerbread. Webtop not working or HDMI mirroring yet.
