I'm fairly new when it comes to flashing ROM's and what not, and in October I made the mistake of flashing to the "official" release of 2.3.3 for a Rogers captivate (not through KIES). I wish to go back to 2.2, so that I can use 2.2 ROM's. I am, however, sceptical of the procedure of flashing back. Could anyone here direct me to a video, a tutorial, or tell me how exactly I would do this?
Thank you,
Balls.

Just had a quick question, I'm kinda new here. I currently have a rooted Epic w/ the leaked 2.2 version that came out a few weeks back. *Supposedly* sammy will be releasing the OFFICIAL 2.2 on 12/26, so I was thinking of going back to the stock 2.1 (it seemed to be a lot faster and less buggy) until the official 2.2 comes out. Are there any drawbacks to this? Will I lose any of my apps that I currently have installed? Can someone point me in the right direction for how to go about doing this? I imagine there's probably a thread or two hanging out there somewhere about this. Thanks.
Bump...anything? Would be a great xmas present.
You should have backed up your original ROM in recovery before you flashed 2.2.
Cool story bro
hi i used to have a captivate version and each time i wanted to return to stock there was a odin software that could do the job for me...
now i have the vibrant and i was wondering if there is a similar odin software that would factory reset my phone to stock 2.1 or 2.2
if not, would you please show me the most up to date method for going back to stock?
im running MIUI at the moment
thank you
Pretty much the same basic method. Just using different firmware.

I have a friend that has given me the samsung vibrant tmobile for upgrade.
i dont want to root the phone, but want to use odin to upgrade to the latest out there
can someone point to the best latest gingerbread or whatever rom that is flashble with odin
Thanks
I only know for sure about the JFD file. There have been postings about a leaked Gingerbread rom, often in the context of people bricking their phone with it.
Whichever is stable I will use Odin to flash. If not gingerbread than froyo will do. Which is latest stable.

There is no gingerbread update for vibrant. Use kies to flash froyo. But I highly recommend rooting your phone and flashing ics.
I did a little research, and you can find out about some stock roms by entering t959uv in a search and looking at the suggestions, such as ka7, kb5.
+1 on the ICS suggestion. Any stock rom will have Carrier IQ and who knows what else hidden in it.
Hey guys,
So I am running an ancient rom, GladiAtrix 3 rom with version 2.2.2 of Android. I finally want to flash a new rom, for example Olympus Gold Edition 2.3.6, with Blur so I can retain Webtop. However, it has been so long and all I read on these stickies when I'm trying to relearn are warnings for not hard bricking your Atrix and I am farily confident it doesn't apply to me because I am still not even on 2.3.4 and don't plan on going back to Android 1.8.3. But can someone just confirm for me really quick before I go about flashing if I need to worry about the hard bricking situation?
(All I gotta do is just backup, and follow the installation steps? Or should I factory reset, stock rom flash, THEN flash the new Olympus ROM?)
Thanks in advanced for stoppin by!
Regards,
Any advice appreciated!
Hey people, I just bought a new Atrix a week ago. It came with "4.4.20.MB860.O2.en.DE" (fw 2.2.2)rom. I found on the internet that it should be possible to update to 2.3.4. But when I try to do the OTA update it says that my system is up to date. So, Is it possible to update my phone to 2.3.4? How? I found a rom called "1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-31-release-keys-signed-rtdach.sbf" but Im aware of flashing it with RSD, is there some other way to do that?
PS: I have not roted or unlocked bootloader my Atrix yet..
Thanks everyone!

If you want to upgrade i would recommend to unlock the bootloader and flash some GB based rom like Nottachtrix 1.3.1, those ones are the stock rom but enhaced I'm running right now Nottachtrix because i want everything working.
Otherwise you can get Neutrino, it's an excellent rom too.
About the sbf with RSD, you need to flash the correct sbf otherwise you will get the "failed to boot", so if you are not sure if it is for your phone, don't do it, take the safe way.
Im not sure pretty much about anything since all tutorials, files, etc.. are made for 2.3.4.. I found this post about rooting the Atrix. Should it work? And another stupid questions. Custom ROMs are installed using CWM recovery right? And is it possible to make a backup of my actual rom for applying waranty in the future? And about that sbf im pretty sure that it should work, but I want to hear that from someone that already did that. I just do not want to brick my phone after week of using..
Thanks! M.
