Thanks for the great info

What really intimidates 'noobs` like myself, is seeing 43pages of replies to a thread like this, and thinking that I need to read through them all to figure out if someone has posted a better way or has resolved any issues that have come up.

Considering that this post has such great info, it would be nice if someone could go and delete the `fluff` comments and maybe even lock the thread and just have this as an info guide. If someone wants to ask a question about it, make a new post and refer back to it? Would keep the guide as a guide and not a question and answer.

((new to XDA and so my opinions hold no weight, but figured I would try and help other atrix noobs ))

Hello ALL!
I have problem with my Atrix. I've read a lot of threads... but now I really need expert opinion.

1) I tried to use RDS Lite 5.3.1 to reprogram my Moto with sbf (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1125944) file taking into account HOW TO FLASH A SBF: on the first page of this thread. I have 4.5.91 version (I bought my phone about mounth ago in amazon). I put my device in RSD Protocol Mode, but RSD Lite did not see my phone.
what could be a reason? what could I do?

2) I tried another mode: BP HW Bypass RSD
There was message on the phone screen:
" BP HW Bypass RSD
Starting USB3 Hardware Bypass RSD Mode
BP switched to RSD mode"
in this case RSD Lite see my Motorola
(
Bootload Version v0x00110
Phone type: Production (30098D9D3030313430310810060B)

Model
Flash MDM6600
)
I tried to flash with sbf file Atrix 4G - US MB860

Branding: AT&T US
Version: 4.5.91 NO DOWNGRADE
Android Version: 2.3.4 NEW!
Bootloader Version: N/A
Webtop version: N/A
Requires RSD Lite 5.0.0
Requires Moto Android (De)packer 1.3 to edit.

Firsly I renamed 1FF-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011.sbf to 1FF.sbf. Pressed start. After fisrt task went to 100% had Error:
"Status:
Failed flashing process. Phone(0000)Phone is not compatible with multi-interface super file (0x703B; phone connected)".

3) Android recovery mode doesn't work. After standard procedure, I had message on the phone screen:
" Android recovery
Failed to boot 2"

Do you need any additional information?
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance, Oleksandr

Im haveing the same issue i was wondering if anyone figured it out yet only one detail different on #3 my android recovery says "Failed to Boot 3"

Look for alittle program called atrix automatic bootloader unlock this program is totally automated u just follow the instructions..... It will reload your phone back to 4.5.91 stock firmware but will unlock your bootloader and install a cmw recovery to get u back in the game after any TNM or hardbrick..... Sorry don't have the link but shouldn't be that hard 2 find good luck

So basically you just can't do research and find out that you can do this, but would rather post asking if this can be done. Do your research before asking a question like this. Took me all of 2 mins to find that Korean A4G can have custom ROMs flashed to it.
