There are SBF files available in the Atrix Development section, specifically here. This is a safe option, be aware that not every option is safe. Do a lot of reading before you flash anything to your Atrix as it is particularly fussy about what order updates are flashed to it.
Good luck

need dev help badly

I posted in another forum but I hoped maybe a dev could figure it out
I screwed up big time. I got my nexus s 4g and unlocked and rooted. all was going well and I went the custom rom route and used rom manager to do so. It was g found out after my radio didnt work. I tried to flash back to stock and it did. I found out it was gsm stock and I am a f#cking moron, so I'm stuck on stock, unrooted, no radio and no computer can it now, not the samsung prog, odin, or adb. the usb on pc will charge, but not push data, please can anyone help.
update: I have an epic, could I download the singed rstock rom, rename it update.zip, bluetooth it to the nexus and apply with stock recovery?
Have you tried reinstalling Samsung device drivers? Are you navigating to sdk/tools when you try adb?
This is not a development related topic. Things like this belong in q&a.

i have installed the drivers, and i have it set to cmd from anywhere. The computer cant see it at all
You flashed another phones radio, then propose to flash yet another phones rom to fix it... Dude.. Stop flashing and go read. A lot..

I have read, right now I am trying to get to stock on my nexus s 4g. I have no way to get files on it, since the usb will no longer transfer data. Thats the problem, I know I scewed up, I want to fix it is the thing
Post this in q&a. Dev is for dev. Unless you are writing code you shouldnt be making new threads here.
You will get help, just address it in the right forum.

Does wifi work? If yes try downloading a rom for your device from your phone directly and flash it within clockwork apk.

the reason I asked in dev I was wondering it there A, another way to get the usb to work? it wont display even in device manager. or B isthere a way to falsh the correct radio as a signed update.zip?
It needs to be in q&a. Nothing about this thread relates to development. Quit posting, let this die, and ask in q&a. You will get help. You need to read. You need to follow the forum rules and general forum etiquette. If you cannot do that, please leave xda, and go to another forum.

i 100% agree with you that this thread should be closed. but come on now dude, no need to be harsh on the guy. his head is probably all over the place now that the phone is not working let's just understand him.
to OP:
here was a similar thread and a similar problem to yours. apparently the guy could enable USB through clockworkmod recovery and flash a rom for his device.
as i understand you have stock recovery. what you should do is try to install clockwork (through fastboot) and enable usb from there.
N.B after flashing clockwork recovery thrpugh fastboot, do not reboot your phone. just enter recovery directly through bootloader.

thanks for the help but mine cant be seen in fastboot, either. sorry for posting the wrong thread, I just thought a dev may have a flashable radio or a different usb trick

I was nice to begin with. But you also need to quit feeding him. He will keep posting in this thread and not make another one in q&a as long as you keep helping him. He keeps posting, you keep posting. I have no understanding for people not following the rules. They are there to keep xda clean and foster development. If people are going to ignore them, then they need to leave.

oh come on!! the guy needs help...definitely its a wrong thread in a wrong section..but just help him out...i would suggest him to try fastboot on another computer or so..install fresh drivers and a fresh sdk ..and then try out dude...and it would be much better if u really post your queries on to Q & A section....people will surely help
Jesus Christ give the dude a break. Hes just lookin for some help. Who cares if he made a thread in the wrong place, i dont see how that affects anyone especially the wannabe mods. OP hope u get ur phone workin again, id help u if i could
The only way i know of getting an update.zip/recovery/image over myself is fastboot, (ie: fastboot flash image, fasboot boot) ...without that working i am unsure how to fix your problem.
Regarding the flame wars over the wrong section posting, surely keepign this ontopic and free from gripes until a mod moves it is the best way? (over reacting wierdo's )

Availability of Official Firmwares for Atrix 2

I search the entire threads for Atrix 2 and i could not find something related to my inquiry so i decide to make a new thread (hope no problems will cause)
some of the old members they might know the problem i face very recently with my Atrix2 (yesterday because i was messing arround and trying to flash the Razr Rom into the Atrix ----Complete NooB), so i have a simple inquiry and i will appreciate it deeply if i could get a support on that.
i would like to know how many Signed Official Firmwares are Available for the Atrix2
as of now i manage to get the Chinese version(complete useless) and the US ATT version (best option but locked for ATT users only)
if in case something more is available can i request please to be uploaded it somewhere in here
i am not interested on customs Rom since the phone it self is very beautiful inside and outside.
Maybe this thread will be useful for other Atrix2 user too who might facing similar problems with me ( soft brick )
Thanks
George
This is posted in the wrong area, this belongs in the general section. This is also technically a duplicate post as MANY have asked this same question about official firmware, no matter which version.
MODs please move this to the general section.

Yes; anything that is development related, actual "hacks", ROMs, rooting, bootloader unlocks, etc. Go in the development section of the Atrix 2 forum, and and any questions, and requests and general talk of of things not really development related belong in the general section.
It might be a good idea to read the noob thread, and the rules.

Nope, but you might PM daywalker04, he is who got us our US version fxz. He will ask you to retrieve several files off your phone and install an upgrade program, that will give him a log file of what to look for.

[Q] How can I go back to custom rom for official ics update?

I have the samsung skyrocket for att and was wondering how i can flash the stock rom and will i be able to get the official ota update? i currently have the skyics update from sean. and i did not make a backup because i didnt know much about rooting when i first flashed a rom

you gotta read and search my friend. Questions go in Q&A btw. XDA isn't going to spoon feed you, the info to get back to stock is all over the place. if you got to a custom rom, I'm confident you can flash odin back to stock
Moved to Q&A. I'm almost sure this might be covered somewhere else but at least have it in the correct forum
Cheers

This is your actual question. By now you may know Xda organizes those answers in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Android Development forum section. Look for the pushpin icons at the top of the list of threads. they are your "stickies", like an FAQ.
Remember OTA updates, when offered, do not mix with custom recoveries like CWM. You will need to flash a stock recovery.

read, read more, read the stickies, i read alot b4 i even attempted to flash, at least a few hundred posts and using the search button.
all problems and solutions have been posted, as u r a n00b all u have todo is invest time into reading alot of posts, because of ur post we all know u havent even bothered to read the stickies, espicially read the one w/n00b's in the title, thats y they r there. .
once u know what ur r doing and r stumped at a certain problem, believe me we can tell by how u post a question, post in the q&a forum
this post is just a copy paste from another post i wrote to a n00b
but anyway read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398 , its a post i started for ur situation, u would have found many by doing a simple search

fxz 4.04 file

does anyone have a link or download of the stock ics att file? I found a location on here, but the link wont work.
I got the atrix 2 stock on ics and I flashed a file, but wanted to revert to stock. I understand how to flash the file using rsd lite, but I cannot find anywhere the actual fastboot file.
any help would be appreciated...thanks

Google is your friend.
Here is where all the edison FXZ files are:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
A look in that thread that was posted in here would have told you, the official att FXZ file is this one :
http://sbfdownload.droid-developers.org/edison/InlineFlashing_Edison_67.21.125_CFC_P3_APBP.xml.zip
Please do a little looking on your own all these questions have been answered before!
P.S. It is even listed in big red letters and says Download in the post provided 2 posts above. That links to the same file I linked here

The big red download doesnt work!!! That is why I asked.
Im coming from htc one x, htc one, galaxy s3, and I have never been fussed at so much about asking a question about something I couldnt find....I know how to search. I find ALL kinds of stuff on restoring to gingerbread, but very limited on ICS, and the few spots I found, I couldnt find a link that worked.
I finally found a spot that had those 3 US fxz variants listed and just wanted to ask a simple question on which one to use.
I do search always prior to asking questions...and I do appologize I wasnt able to find the answers to my questions prior to these.
I do appreciate the help though, much...thank you!

Ah well, don't be offended. If you stick around here long enough, you'll get tired of reading/answering the same questions over, and over, and over again, too.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
