[Q] Can install cooked ROMs or any of the leaked (from India or China) on Atrix AT&T?
Hey guys, first of all I must say that is not English, I speak Spanish so if I say something wrong I hope to understand.
I turn to you for that, I buy a Refurbished Atrix 2 Released to Amazon, is AT & T My question is: I can install cooked ROMs or any of the leaked (from India or China)? I would like to tell me if I can do and if there is a tutorial to install.
Thank you for your attention!

you can't install the leaks.
There are multiple roms you can install in the development section.
read the noob guide that is sticky for some basic info, then the rom threads for installation instructions

You can install and run custom roms, but there's some things you need to read and understand beforehand. Please read THIS THREAD and you will see that there are several things you must first do, in order to be running custom roms on your device. First, you will need to make sure you are running on Android 2.3.6. for many of the roms in the ATRIX 2 Android Development section, then you will need to attain root, install the custom CWM (Clockworkmod) Recovery, then you will be able to flash whichever rom you so choose.
However, you need to understand that there are international firmware differences relating to the different ATRIX 2 models and their specific regional firmware(s), and roms that are based off these international firmwares may not work on your device! You need to know which device you have, and for which device the rom you are wanting to install is specified to run on. You may brick your phone if you try to install a rom that ins't designed to run on your device! (You have been warned) The leaked ICS updates will NOT work on an ATT.en.US system version!

Well, I do not think I will risk that many steps and I am a newbie.
But still thank you very much for clearing the doubt! Waiting For the ICS official.

It's really not all that difficult. You just have to have a clear understanding of what you are doing -BEFORE doing anything! It's useful knowledge, especially if you are interested in customizing your device beyond what Motorubbish has in its stock rom...

I like your clarity mate, at least you dont wanna mess with your device until you learn. Appreciate that

And if I install the ROM and I want to return time after the original ROM from AT & T?
I can do?

Yes, after rooting, installing the custom recovery (CWM), and flashing a rom, you can always FXZ back to stock 2.3.5. and the OTA (over-the-air) update to 2.3.6. which will return your device to the fully stock Moto rom.

uk bought xoom - need help

hi guys,
i just bought a xoom in the uk as an impulse buy. usually i do a lot of reading on things like this so i dont usually need help when it comes to rooting, unlocking bootloader etc.
This has probably been asked but i tried searching and i just got more confused. I would like to know if the uk xoom (wifi only) can be rooted and if i can unlock the bootloader. i would like to install a jellybean rom if that is possible but i couldnt really find i guide on this particular version.
If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you

Yes and Yes is the simple answer......
Best thing is to have a search on here and maybe Google and you should find some guides on how to do it.... The guide I followed (but don't remember where I found it) wasn't specifically written for a UK Xoom, but worked absolutely fine.....
The UK Xoom can be easily unlocked via ADB when connected to your PC.....
Unlocking the Bootloader will completely wipe the device though so ensure you have copied anything you want from the Xoom first....
Plenty of ROM choices - I am currently using EOS 3 (Nightly 155) which is Jellybean 4.1.2 but will jump over to EOS 4 on Jellybean 4.2 in due course....

HTC One S updates

So recently i bought an HTC One S with an S3 processor which its country is of Asia. I am currently at europe. I still am on Android 4.0.3 and there doesnt seem to be an update for my phone. Now i know that 4.0.4 and also JB are rolling out, but not for my device. Is there anything I can do to solve this ?
Thanks :laugh:

I live in a country where HTC sell the S3 processor only. I had my cousin sent me HOS from US, big difference.
You might want to trade for an S4 though.
In the meantime you can search the development forum and look for an S3 ROM.
Not many but there are some.

HOS stands for Htc One S and a Rom is basically an operating system for your device that is nothing like stock, has tweaks here and there things that stock doesnt, and if you root you will.still be able to receive updates but you have to relock the phone and some other things I can't remember then you can apply the update, basically you can't apply update to a rooted phone its just gonna give you and installation error then reboot your phone I think but that's basically it for your questions, hopefully it was helpful to you

Thanks for the information !
A friend told me that if i root the phone i can change my firmware from Asia to Europe where i live so that i can recieve updates accordingly to my phone. Is this true ?
Also is there a detailed noob instructions for me to follow and learn more about rooting the phone and installing customs ROMS etc. ?
Thanks

If you root, you can manually install all sorts of fun stuff. I think if you want to remain as close to stock and receive "official" updates, super cid is something you might wanna read about. There's a thread in the Dev Section by Torxx that I used to root my S4 you might wanna look over and see if that's for you. Make sure everything you decide to do is compatible with your S3 first though.
Edit: there's also another guide in the general section

There's no bootloader unlock for no one.
Why do you want to unlock your bootloader if there's no room that requires other kernel?

^+1. And there is no need for the bootloader to be unlocked to flash the roms in our dev section.! Just follow the instructions there!

(if u google "ics or bootloader unlock on atrix 2" then its 3rd option)
"Question Title:
ICS Update or Unlock Bootloader
Comment:
I have brought Brand new Motorola Atrix 2 (Indian Version and not US AT&T model) last month hoping it will be getting ICS update, but now my Skyrocket got updated to ics and Updated my SGS I9000 to JellyBean using CM10. Being such a capable device Atrix 2 is still running on 2.3.6 (Out of Box), which is also having network connectivity issue here in India. I now feel it was a mistake buying a Motorola Atrix2 and could have bought Sony Xperia P which is in same price bracket which is getting update much faster.
If Motorola can`t update Atrix2 to stable ICS, i would like them to unlock bootloader for same as there are many developers around who can create custom ROMS (ICS or even JB) much stable & faster than Motorola team.
To make matter worse yesterday news came out that Motorola are shutting down operations in Asia Pacific. I do hope they can provide us with either a stable ICS update or Unlock the bootloader.
"
so plz reply is it now nessecary to unlock bootloader for custom rom or cm10, as i like xda dev work becoz of
a-no company app
b-overclock Facility
Q2-secondly will i b able overclock in custom rom or cm10 (as my boot loader will b locked, will it let me over clock in cm10 or custum rom)
Q3-there r kernel avalible for over clocking but when i zip instal them by CMW they show no effect(may b becoz of bootloader not been unlocked)
so plz help me overclock becoz this device with overclock is an gr8 device
so plz helpppppppppppppppp

sry i wasnt geting to reply u both dev at same time

First, forget about unlocking the bootloader. We don't need to unlock it to install the roms that we have in the developers sections.
Secondly, we have stable ics, and now, finally, we have a stable Jellybean for international phones.
But, i'm going to respond your questions in order.
1: The info that are you reading, is ooooold. If you want stable ICS, check this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934874
Those are for international Atrix 2. It means, that ones they were not bought in AT&T.
And, if you have international atrix 2, you can choose jellybean, too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092107
2: Yes, you have to flash 2 .zip's files into the custom recovery.
I don't know too much about that. But, if you read a little, you'll see that is easy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988411
3: There is no kernel available for overclocking besides the one we are using.
If you are trying to say the .zip's that you have to flash with Cwm, read the answer 2.

^^+1 what he said, but I would like to add, do yourself a huge favor and read EVERYTHING that pertains to your phones model BEFORE trying anything. Then read it all again. Then when you think you understand, read it again. You will see that most all of your questions have been previously answered, and you will gain knowledge in the process. It's a win/win for everybody that has the patience and puts in the effort to learn on their own. Good luck to ya.:thumbup:

Help with new Texco Moto G

OK I just bought on contract a 16GB Moto G. Very happy so far. It downloaded the new 4.4.2 Kitkat. Can't see any difference.
It is locked to Tesco.
My question is, what steps do I now take to get root access and install CWM?
Do I need to unlock the phone first?
Any advantages in using one of the new Mods?
Any other advice welcome. I just know how to follow instructions...:fingers-crossed:
thanks

Already answered hundreds of times in other threads. Do some reading.

Use search. But do it in the following steps. Unlock the boot loader, then install a custom recovery, then root.

** just follow from Now, if you want root, **
Don't forget to thank those who made the guides.

If you ask these questions which are already answered dozens of times i recommend you to read more first before you do anything. Otherwise your next question will be how "to make a phone out ouf my brick?".

OK. Sorry. I get you guys. I just thought maybe the Tesco version might need some different approaches. Actually it is quite hard to find a simple list of "things to do" with your phone, tablet whatever or simple steps you need to follow. Of course the details are more complex. I wasn't sure if I needed to unlock the phone or could do rooting on a locked phone. Maybe each device forum category should have a simple sticky just like that for us non-techies who just follow the instructions without really understanding what is going on.
Also I was half asleep and I see there is actually an excellent introduction. Deaf, dumb and blind...
