Don't do this before someone else says it's okay, because I'm not totally sure, but you should be able to SBF flash your device back to original everything.

Thank you. In fact I don't want to use any more other SBF file, but just get my stock directly from Motorola Software Update!!

I hope I'm not too late.
DO NOT DOWNGRADE!!
You'll get yourself a hard brick. Seriously, it's stickied all over the forum.
You cannot use SBF, you cannot use Motorola Software Updater.
I repeat, YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE FROM 4.5.91 YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE
Do as you please, but you have been warned.

So no way to get back? So bad...
Can I at least flash back with Recovery to a retail Froyo 2.2?
Am I no more allowed to official stock, or in future I'll be able to get get Motorola's official update?

By stock I thought you meant the newest firmware stock! my bad. Yes, DO NOT SBF DOWNGRADE. You WILL brick.
Use fruitcake if you want froyo but I have no clue if theres a fruitcake france release. You may be SOL here.

read post 2 by shaydar.. maybe this could help, just try download the newer sbf (2.3.4) then desbf it..
do not use froyo, that the best method i know for now

Thank you everybody for your cautions!!!
I didn't get back to stock 2.2. I installed this pretty CM7 and I'm quiet satisfied.
But I want to know: with my atrix unlocked with RDSLite + CM7 installed, am I allowed one day to get official 2.3 or Ice Cream with Motorola Updater Software when Motorola will make it happens!??

[Q] Should i go back to stock Bell SBF ?

Hi,
I got Bell Atrix and i was not happy with it so i flashed french SBF and it was a delight but some times i have problems (no major problem) then i flashed T.Mobile SBF and it is just Amazing.
Now my question is should i go back to stock Bell and upgrade it to 2.2.2 or stick to T.Mobile SBF, i am asking this question in terms of Bell new update vs T.Mobile SBF and feature GB Update and Bootloader unlocking.
So Can any one Help me Out ?
if everything is fine, then stick with what you have, I had the same combo but my devices has hardware issues so I went back to bell stock and did the update should I need to bring it in. no advantage in terms of a GB update etc since we don't know which company will release GB first or when.
Unless the Bell SBF is found, you can't go back. You can have a reasonable facsimile, but it will never be the exact same as when you took it out of the box.
Thanks ppl.

SBF shortage

Can anyone help me obtain an sbf? Im looking for the OEM original sbf that shipped with the UK orange atrix.
There does seem to be a bit of an sbf shortage recently luckily i had the OLYM 2.1.1 french internntional one.
Ideally ilike to put my phone back to absoloute stock then apply updates to get to gingerbread.
Which leads me to another question, is there an OTA GB for orange atrix? And if not is there a stock unbranded 2.2 froyo sbf i can flash that will then allow me to updateota?
Your help is much anticipated.

Official Update For Atrix 4g

Guys i've one simple question.
MY Atrix is already unlock and it under stock rom.
my question is,
is there any side effect when ever i try to update my device via Over the air update, when ICS Come?
If you are on a stock rom then it should update just fine.
unlocked boot loader probably won't help,thats why when I updated mine to .141 and it relocked it,I just left it that way.
If your bootloader is unlocked and your are running a custom rom then you shouldnt get OTA updates and if you do they will probably lead to issues. If you want the stock motorola ICS i suggest waiting till it comes out flashing back to the stock 2.3.6 and the manually upgrading to ICS
Sir how do i know if i have a stock firmware?
My Cousin gave this to me, and i didn't know if it's stock or not.
by the way i can't ask him, hi out of the country for good T_T

Check for "unlocked" at top left of the boot image screen, download and run "root checker" from playstore, it will let you know if the device has been rooted. android version should be 2.3.6 and build ends with 141. Sorry, it's been a while since I've run stock ROM.
sir my version is gb si 2.3.4 T_T but when i check the Software update via On-the-air-Firware no update available. T_T
sorry i've so many question

Canadian razr to LATAM ICS questions.

Okay, I have a couple of questions:
First, in order to flash the Brazil ics, I just need to fastboot to Brazil 2.3.6 with rsd lite, then ota to ics?
Second, when the Rogers ROM comes out, can I just flash that over the Brazil one?
Any help would be excellent, i'm just worried I'll need to send it in for warranty and it be voided due to changing from Rogers fw.

I don't know about going back to the rogers firmware someone smarter than me would have to answer that. To get to the Brazilian firmware you flash the brazil 2.3.6 with rsdlite, then root with motofail, then save the root with OTA rootsaver, then flash the OTA update in recovery. It is very easy to do. That said I wouldn't even worry about warranty the odds of them actually covering anything that needs repair under warranty is minimal and you will be without a phone for a month so unless it is Apple and you can change it over the counter I would say cell phone warranties are useless anyway. I just flashed it yesterday and must say that the LATAM ICS is FAR FAR FAR better than the Rogers 2.3.6 that came with the phone
Thanks to the OP for posting this. My Rogers RAZR on Fido is now running the BR ICS 4.04. So smooth!

To flash back to the Rogers ROM, there is a rogers and fido fastboot files available. Keep in mind when running fastboot you will lose your phone data, including Android ID. Overall it is a bit of a pain to run often. Also keep in mind that you can't fastboot files with an older boot version, Ie you can't flash a gingerbread rom over ICS.

This was my main concern, as we don't have ICS in Canada yet as OTA, let alone a fastboot image. I finally decided to go for the LATAM ICS, and I've got to say, I'm really happy.
I'm hoping that either a fastboot for Canadian ICS will show up (either official, or hacked together like the GB one available), so that I can have an official option available in case i need to send my phone in for service.
As a side note, I've had great luck with warranties here. I highly recommend anyone getting a new phone in Canada to get it at Costco... and BUY THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY. I just got my RAZR free, because my 2 1/2 year old SE X10 was simply having a few mild reception issues.
Anyway, enough of a plug, I'm loving the LATAM ICS ROM.

Stock means your phone is untouched, as it came from the manufacturer/provider.
OTA refers to the "Over The Air" updates which come from the manufacturer or provider. They are actually one and the same thing. You will receive a notification when an OTA update is available for your stock phone. You then download the update, and install it. Your phone is still stock, but running the latest version of the operating system.
