Has someone able to produce a Stock 2.3.6 Odin flashable tar? In the dev section it appears that the thing has been rooted and some removal has been done on the OTA update. There is a placeholder for the Stock 2.3.6 ROM, but it appears the person never got around to it.
Or, is it not possible yet or leaked yet? I am really looking for CWM flashable radios.
There is a stock 2.3.6 rooted rom right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361144

Yes, I saw that. But it is "not" stock, i.e. it does not get me back to the factory baseline. I need to be rooted/ROM manager to install this and it is pre-rooted. So if I "unroot" + "install stock recovery" would this take me back to Stock "2.3.6"?
Thanks..

Go to the dev section and downloaded xboarders rooted rom that includes the update and root. It is a zip that can be installed the normal way after you NVFlash.

But you don't get new baseband with it, do you?
Also does the mew baseband work with 2.2?

I nandroided to stock, unrooted, flashed stock recovery, updated to 2.3.3, using the horrible lg update tool. Then nandroided back to my to cm7 w/ Jul 15th baseband. All is well. Gps is fast as hell, locked in 10 seconds indoors to 4 meters.
Side note: i f#@ing hate the lg updater tool;( 45min of upluging and repluging my phone to get it to take the update. Horrible, i rather use odin.

After returning to stock, you run the LG update then you will have the new baseband. Then NVFlash. Then load the rooted rom.
Then you have new baseband and a rooted rom.
My SkyRocket is rooted and I have CWM installed. If I do a factory Data Reset from the "Privacy" menu within the phone will it set the phone back to its (out of the box) condition and will it take CWM off of the phone? The reason I am asking is because I have read several posts that claim you can not take an OTA update with CWM installed. I would like to have the option to remove CWM from the phone if it will not take the ICS OTA if / when it is finally released. If the factory data reset doesn't remove CWM from the phone, what is the best method of doing so (if it is needed for the OTA). Thank you.
Edit:
OK, I found a post in the "DEV" section with the original I727 factory ROM, which can be flashed via ODIN that should return the phone to its original "out of the box", unrooted, and CWM removed condition incase it is needed for the upcoming ICS update.
My question is: Is it possible to "just" reflash the "original factory recovery" part of the original ROM that came with the phone instead of reflashing the entire ROM, in effect, replacing CWM with the original recovery without disturbing the rest of the phone? This would basically be the reverse of how I installed CWM in the first place. Is this possible? Do the files (just the recovery part) for the 2.3.6 version of the original I727 (Skyrocket) exist in a flashable form file (TAR)? I don't care about the flash counter increasing because this isn't about returning the phone, it is about what might be needed to be done in preperation for an ICS OTA update. I figure these types of questions will only become more frequent the further into the first Quater of 2012 we get, so it will be an advantage to everyone to try and figure a few things out ahead of time. Thanks for any help in this matter.

no.
factory reset will not touch your recovery, your kernel or your /system
it wipes /data which stores your settings/configuration/user-installed apps
it also wipes /cache
it does NOT touch the actual system ROM, so your root will remain intact, and your CWM will still be there.
Bump...because I added new question(s) to the OP. Thanks.

While I'm not 100% sure, odin will flash back to a stock rom. However the tar that is around is a rogers rom. Ota updates should work.

This is the thread that has the I727 and the Rogers TARs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348
These are supposed to bring the phones back to the "Out of the Box" condition if flashed through ODIN (if I read it correctly).
What I am looking for is a way (method) to just flash the recovery part of this back to the phone, basically replacing CWM with the phones original Recovery. A reversal of flashing CWM to replace the stock revovery in the first place.
I like CWM and plan to install it back to the phone after the ICS update, but from what I understand (and I know it isn't final until the ICS update is released and someone with CWM tries it), phones with CWM will not take OTA updates.
I am looking for a way to just reflash the "recovery" part so the rest of the phone will remain the same (keep root, data, and applications). A full stock TAR would erase all of that. I know programs like Titanium backup will back these things up and then replace them, but just replacing the "stock revovery" by itself would eliminate the need to do so and should be quicker and easier.
I am on 2.3.6 so it would need to be a working TAR that has the 2.3.6 stock recovery (only) for the AT&T SkyRocket. If it doesn't already exist, I would certainly be willing to "Donate" to a DEV that could create such a working TAR. I bet a 2.3.5 and Rogers version would be popular as well.
If this has been done or can be done please let me know. Thank you.
Read this thread... it has a link to the stock UCKJ2 recovery tar. Not sure if there is any difference between 2.3.5 recovery and 2.3.6 recovery, however. Hope this helps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360943
just download the ics rom and load it up when it comes out. it'll be the same rom but you'll still be rooted.
The stock recovery.tar here works on 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 in order to take an ota update you need to flash the stock recovery.tar with odin, and have all bloatware intact. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360943

Thanks to both of you. This is exactly what I was looking for. I may just wait for the ICS ROM to surface and flash it, but if I want to take the OTA ICS update, this will be very helpful. As promised, I will go and "Donate" to the person that provided this TAR. Again. thanks.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I rooted my skyrocket with superoneclick, but never flashed any custom roms. will I be able to update my phone when the ICS update comes or do I have to unroot first?
Thanks-

Always best to be stock. Course you can always wait for a flashable ROM which likely only take a matter of hours after any OTA is pushed

Being rooted has never impacted the ability to successfully take an ATT OTA update. I was rooted on 2.3.5 and took the KK1 OTA update... and retained root after. However, you must have stock rom, stock kernel, stock modem, and stock 3e recovery in place to get update. Who knows if same will apply if/when ICS OTA gets rolled out however.
I used the 1-click method to root my phone. When I do the software update it goes as far as downloading the update, then my phone reboots. And for some reason when it reboots it reboots into recovery. Then I reboot my phone and when it loads it says update failed. The update is 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 I'm assuming. The reason I make this assumption is just because my wife and I got the same phone on the same day and hers updated and mine didn't. I rooted, she didn't. I read something about having to have all your original apps installed when I did a search, but I have removed any of the bloatware or any other apps as of yet. Thanks for the help in advance!
To Take the OTA you need Stock recovery, not CWM there is a thread with the Stock recovery you can flash in Odin to get the OTA to install
Check out this link to another post on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360943&highlight=stock+recovery+odin
this should be what you need to take the 2.3.6 OTA (which really isn't all that worth it, so if you're happy with 2.3.5 i would stay there until an ICS OTA comes)
Would a factory reset go back to stock recovery?

No a Factory reset just resets the user data not the recovery or system information

My understanding was that 2.3.6 implemented a new modem that improved the performance of the phone. I personally have great service compared to my Tmobile that I just bought out my contact on. Just wondering how much better that update would make my phone.

If your rooted you can just flash the 2.3.6 radio in cwm... Or even a 2.3.6 ROM (MHX superlite 3.1 final was my GB ROM of choice)
There is a radio thread and also info in the all in one sticky thread.

Hi everyone i have never flashed before.
I have atrix2 att 2.3.5.
I deleted bloatware and wanted to goto stock and then start applying roms.
I followed the guide for flashing and installed bootstrap, CWM, and J.Y.Daddy's BOOT INTO CWM RECOVERY ON BOOT, and also reset.zip.
Knowing that without bloat there is no chance to go 2.3.6 i followed these steps but when i booted the phone it has a new notification bar etc, but when i checked the about phone iam at 2.3.6
55.13.25
build number is SuperCharged V 5 Update1
So what now? is it normal, or am i in a bad situation?

Along with just about every custom rom comes custom status bar icons, UI look/feel, etc. This is all a part of running custom roms rather than using stock Moto rom. Don't worry, this is what happens!

True, but I am not sure he knew he flashed a rom.
You may have problems because you just installed a 2.3.6 system on top of a 2.3.5 kernel, among other parts. I did this forever, and it had some issues.
What you should do is fxz back to stock 2.3.5 (read the noob guide, this has been said how to do way to many times, if you don't understand it, search and read more). Then you can do the OTA update and install a rom again if you want.
Yes, i did not flash any rom yet, i was installing the CWM recovery on boot so i would not be in trouble if ever i flashed a rom, but iam already at 2.3.6 some how.
If this 2.3.6 has everything the ota 2.3.6 has then i can stay with this, if not then i will have to fxz stock 2.3.5 and ota again and will have to restore everything :s
