To make it clear and simple about this blog is that i’ve just finished upgrading my Motorola Atrix 4G (AT&T) to ALIEN ROM by kennethpenn which runs on Gingerbread 2.3.4 ( AT&T 4.5.91 ) and i’ve found out that although it’s not that difficult to do so, it inevitably took quite sometime for a noob like me to flash ROMs on an android device back and forth without risking myself to BRICK the phone!!!. Fortunate to me that i’ve managed to do so without hassles. However, this came with a few hours of research before given my hand on the flashings. The guides to do so are everywhere on Google and xda-developers website, however there are no direct instructions just yet and here you go…..
