WHY IN THE HELL DID U DO THAT!!!!
stay away from things thats not meant for your phone..!!
your phone is not an unlocked one so its bound by the terms and conditions of the network operator!!!
now what u can do is try to root your phone somehow.. flash another rom..
else u and wait for update from ur cellular provider and update again..!!
GOOD DAY

See if you can boot into recovery and then install stock rom.

Thank you for the info. So far I have not been able to get it to boot into recovery. If you have any other suggestions they would b much appreciated. Thank you again

Without getting into recovery or download mode, you can't do much.

[Q] How to reset to original?

Just for understanding, how do I reset my GalFit to factory?
Does it have flash counter?
What about original recoverymode?
What about root?
Thank you in advance.
Just flash a firmware for your region using odin and you should be back to scratch.
It would take care of everything even the recovery

I have a GT-s5670 device and i've upgraded to gingerbread from fryo but now i wanted to degrade it without rooting it.My question is if i use the factory reset function in the setting will it be degraded to fryo?.I really don't know anything serious about Android and stuff so.
Thanks

No.. reset won't downgrade your phone... you have to flash your phone with Odin using stock froyo firmware which contains 4 files namely, PDA, BOOT, MODEM(PHONE) and CSC.
Sent from Galaxy mini running CM10(Android 4.1.2 (Jellybean)).
degrading is dangerous but you must flash the firmware which contains bootloader (I think it's called arm11boot)

Yup the tutorial I gave was for that only... but you need to find the appropriate firmware for it.the one which contains four files.

AT&T Atrix 2 2.3.6 upgrade

Hi,
Can any one tell me the AT&T Motorola Atrix 2 can be upgraded to the official 2.3.6 ( XWKL1 )? I just got this phone for my wife and it comes with 2.3.5 and I don't think AT&T will release 2.3.6 any time soon plus I bought the phone from my friend after he claimed the insurance ( he lost his previous A2 ) I don't have no data plan so I won't be able to get the firmware update through AT&T.
I upgraded my Samsung GS 2 ( International version ) to XWKL1 so can I upgrade my wife's A2 with the same FW through Odin then?
I will be really appreciated if some one can help me to answer this?
Might wanna wait a little because it may be updating sooner than later, hopefully. I have the Atrix 4G and just got the SOAK notice. Gonna flash fruitcake and see what they send out...
You guys might want to read where you're posting this.

Ummmm...no. at best, Odin won't recognize the A2 BC Odin is meant for Sammy devices. At worst, if it does recognize your phone and you flash the SGS2 firmware to the A2, you will most likely end up with an unusable brick.
K thx bai

Atrix 2 will probably be getting 2.3.7 pretty soon. Stay tuned.
By the way the atrix 2 gets OTA updates, not usually from a file that you flash to the phone. You will usually get a notice on your phone that an update is available for download, and ask you what to do, all wireless.

Thanks all 3 of you. I don't think I can get any updates OTA simply because I don't have data plan secondly, I bought the phone from my friend not directly from AT&T. So I just wait & see then.

2.3.6
Hey guys,
Motorola and at&t released the 2.3.6 upgrade for teh Atrix 2 today (February 2nd 2012). Just go to settings > about phone> software updates for an OTA upgrade... u need wiFi connection though (its 58 Mb)
hopefully we also get ICS whenever it comes out!!! Maybe MOtorola hasn't forgotten the A2!!1
it keeps telling me checking for available update please wait forever
Note :- i unlocked my mobile (sim unlock ) and using it outside of the USA with a Vodafone Sim .
Maybe that's the reason?
I am testing it over wifi not data
Root
Will updating remove root access?
Yes, if you don't take steps to preserve it. Do a search or check the DEV forum for the details.

Flash the FXZ and revert back to stock, probably the easiest way to get it.

What ROM are you currently running? I would recommend flashing the 2.3.5 fkz's rerooting, and then using forever root. Then try using the OTA update. Or you could wait until lfaber06 incorporates this into his SC ROM which will make things a LOT easier.
I am on supercharged v4. I will do that and see hat happens.

here's what I suggest since you debloated. Your bootloader needs to be unlocked and you need to have a custom recovery like twrp installed.
Once you have that taken care of, flash the rooted 2.20 ROM posted by scrosler.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812459
this way you get all of the features of the OTA except the Radio, but that can be flashed separately.
You also retain root, and keep the ability to flash kernels and radios from recovery in the future.

If your bootloader is locked unlocking will wipe the phone. Get titanium back up to back up your apps and stuff

It's a little late for this probably but for future reference if you are rooted and want to stop receiving OTA updates remove/rename/delete HtcOMADM_ATT.apk and HtcOMADM_ATT.odex from system/apps, wipe cache and dalvik. If you want to remove "AT&T software update" from the "Settings" then remove HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_ATT.apk and HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_ATT.odex from system/apps, wipe cache and dalvik.

started back up fine after firmware flash but when i tryed to go into recovery from bootloader phone wouldnt start up. Tryed reboot from bootloader and phone wont start at all but i still can get into bootloader . anyone else have this problem. Seems off because the phone did start up fine after i flash the firmware. Seem from other post that i needed to refresh my rom for camera to work so thats what i was going to do when this happen
Got it started back up after powering down from bootloader . it looks like i have to reflash recovery..anyone else had to do this?

This post is for developers ... you not going to get much help here
but i can tell you this ... you would not normally flash the whole firmware zip
you edit it in 7zip and remove the recovery.img and hboot if you don't want it updated
some also remove the boot.img it seems to break the camera. Just a FYI
I flashed this and for first time flashing firwmares I lost root and now instead of 3G icon its showing ATT 4g Icon lol!
Can anyone extract out the camera apk for me from this firmware so I can compare to previous. Thank you devs.
