You can't do that. AT&T phones can ONLY use AT&T firmware. This had been said repeatedly all over this forum. If you and/or your friend would have bothered reading a little you would know that already. Next time read everything related to your (or your friend's) phone. Then read it all again, and even if you think you understand, read it again. Make EXTRA sure you know what you are doing before you do anything. That being said, try to flash the FXZ from the first link you posted. That is, if the phone hasn't been bricked already. If that doesn't work then I'm afraid your friend now has an expensive paperweight. I hope your friend is a nicer guy than I am. Good luck!:thumbup:

You can flash that on AT&T.

What exactly do you by the method is "working on AT&T A2"? I watched the YouTube video you linked in another post and saw the phone boot up, but then I appears that it is showing an error message.(possibly a force close of some sort. Sorry, I can't read whatever language that was in) Then the video stopped before showing the phone in a usable state. Can you provide verification that the phone is usable after doing what you are suggesting? I ask because to me there is a difference between booting up to endless force closures and booting up to a useable phone.

First: Youtube video is about China 4.1.2 not working - if see youtube video name... (touchscreen not working)!!! ,2nd: Mearet ICS booted fine - if you also seen screenshots under my post. It's says on AT&T kernel builded in 08.31, but Mearet kernel build date is in August 20... JB is in JANUARY...

I see. I must've misunderstood. Thanks for the clarification. So what are the implications of this exactly? Does this mean AT&T owners are not limited to AT&T firmware so long as they back up their CID?

Yes, that means it's same like in RAZR - we can use any A2 (Indian MB865, China ME865 or any A2 kernel)... But different A2 models is different hardware (for example radio chip), so if we flashed ME865 fw via CID erasing we posible will have Wi-Fi disconnection issues & etc...
And also this means that we can convert AT&T MB865 to China ME865 and use Official MIUI on AT&T without battery issues (this is only hypothetic, tomorrow i'll test it).

Hi turffee!
Your device is AT&T Atrix 2?
The bootloader of your device is unlocked?
please put this command to terminal emulator, or adb shell with su
cat /proc/omap_dev_type
If this returns NS, can you share your mbm.img and mbmloader.img?
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 of=/sdcard/mbmloader.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 of=/sdcard/mbm.img
Thanks

My device is AT&T. It HS device. There's one thread with unlocked A2 it returns command to NS. That person also shared mbmloader.bin & mbm.bin for public (only for devs) - also if you'll find that files (thread) DON'T TRY FLASHING NS BOOTLOADER TO HS DEVICE (including all A2) or you'll hard bricked!!!
Also about CID erasing. Then you erase your CID, your device loosing region identification, so you can flash any A2 firmware. Bootloader is still locked, like & many others inxluding Jim's A2, it's just bypassing region...

Actually no, my dev phone is a NS device, and has the correct Efuses flipped, it is NOT just a region bypass, it also has writting all over it stating that it is not for resale.

[Q] Atrix 2 from ebay Cyanogen Mod installed, how to flash back to stock?

Hello,
I bought an Atrix 2 at ebay (the seller said it is new), unfortunately there is Cyanogen Mod with Android 4.1.2 installed. If there is any safe way to flash back to stock I would prefer this, instead of sending it back because I live in Europe and bought it in USA .
Could you recommend me an easy secure way to flash back to a stock rom? Unfortunately I don't know where to start.
Thanks,
c.

To be honest, the best thing you can do right now is read. All of this has been covered before, repeatedly, and all the information is readily available as well as easily accessible. What you don't want to do is start flashing things without knowing what you're doing and how to get yourself out of trouble should you encounter any issues. So take your time and browse around the forums and familiarise yourself with the various flashing procedures. You won't regret it.:thumbup:

Ok, ok, you are right so I found these two threads, so I think I know now how to flash and where to find fxz. But I don't know which fxz Version is the right one, my Phone don't have a at&t logo on the cover. I expect that it is a US Version but I'm not sure.

Post a screenshot of your about phone screen. The build date is the give away, on the kernel. When you post that one of us can point out if you have leak one installed.
I will be very honest here, and since you are not sure which stock version was on the phone before, you have a high chance of bricking the phone. If does not have the ATT logo, it does not tell us much. You could still have an HK version of the phone which is as locked down as the ATT one is, or you could have an Asian version, which would be good, since they are not as locked down...
I would tread very lightly here, and I would tell you to just flash another non-stock ROM from the dev section, on it, as that won't brick you.. But you really need to find a way to figure out which phone you have.

As far as I can see, there is no custom ROM which has a working webtop, I would like to use webtop. Or do you know any ROMs with webtop? I searched a lot about finding out if it is possible to figure out which hardware is in the device to check which firmware version could be right but I found nothing .

You have AT&T 125 fxz kernel... It builded in 08.31. But you also need to check your imei... And does your phone have any AT&T logo? On box or on digitizer?? It also can be AT&T phone but with Retail Atrix digitizer.... or worse Retail A2 locked down from higher cdt.bin from AT&T fw.

Thanks for the telling me the Kernel Version. Could you please explain, what do you mean by "check your IMEI"? I think you don't want me to post IMEI?
The Phone does not have any ATT Logo, not on the digitizer neither on the box. I saw that the Text on the box is only written in french.
So even with knowing that it's the ATT Kernel, it's not sure if I can flash the ATT firmware:

The IMEI on the Box is not the same as the result of the check and Iam very sure that this is not an MB860.

Reflash HK (with boot failure screen) fw & bring it to warranty & fool it (that it shuted off while charging & shows fastboot err. They'll try couple times flash Retail fw, but it will fail at cdt.bin & most likely they'll replace your board).

Motorola Moto G Xt1032 - how to recover IMEI?

Hi all,
My Moto G XT1032 have Unlocked Bootloader CWM recovery and is rooted, running CWM room v 11.
Phone lost IMEI code after flashing with diffrent roms, now I don't have mobile reception, wifi and bluetooth is working fine.
I had similar issue with Gionee E6 but I found imei file in the phone and recreate IMEI number.
In Moto G I can't find imei file so don't know hot to fix this.
Please let me know how to recover IMEI number.
I hope that someone know how to do it.
Many thanks

I've never heard of this before and it seems extreme that you could lose IMEI number just by flashing a custom ROM. What method did you use?
I would have assumed fastboot flashing stock firmware should solve this.

Hi Sorry for late reply but I lost internet connection on Saturday morning.
When I have been doing some stuff in CWM recovery, had system and data partition mounted.
Then done rm -R * in root dir.
At this point I thought that my current dir is tmp.
After this I lost wifi and IMEI.
I manage to sort out wifi but not IMEI code.
Do you know how to fix this?
Since that I have been re-flashing stock rom and CWM rom but none of them help.
Chris

anyone can help to recover IMEI ?
Thanks

Changing/manually setting the IMEI is illegal afaik. And afaik assisting someone with that is also forbidden here on xda. We used to have a similar problem on the phone I came from, and there was a app which let you backup/restore your IMEI. You need to have a backup in order to restore it so this won't really help you...
This is what I'm talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591997
Edit.: There actually seems to be a way to manually set it but I'm not sure if it is device-specific.
Sent from my XT1032 using xda app-developers app

You can find your Imei on the back of the phone.
If you google android 4.4 set imei you should find something from technostall which might help you
Good luck

Yes, it's on the battery.

Yes It Does for most of the devices given you should know the proper method.

Mtk is different. It's not the same thing.

Any news?
Also I think the problem is that the imei is on the phone just not on the OS? (obviously, but...)
Maybe when we all reflashed to the original stock (and countless other stocks) they just didn't have the proper folder to access in order to identify what imei they're assigned?
Because every single time I've tried to manually rewrite the imei to it all the methods I've used are futile. Even the ones specially tailored to the Moto G's hardware SnapDragon - Qualcomm...

restore IMEI by Motorola service?
Same problem for me. I am really interested in some experience about restoring IMEI.
Motorola support phorum owner replied that Motorola service can recover IMEI (not covered by any kind of warranty of course).
I have tried to reflash factory ROM with and without inserted SIM card, but unfortunately no difference.
I have seen looking for solution, that for some people Android system sees IMEI=0, but the IME is still untouched using fastboot mode and "fastboot getvar" CLI command
For me it's empty using the "getvar" command as well.

The official service center in Germany told me that they mustn't repair selfmade imei problems :S

Lost IMEI
You could all try this new method claimed to be working but as I have not lost my IMEI I can't say, please report back if it works for you?

Moto G Telus/Koodo version - unable to flash non-Telus version

I keep getting the following errors when trying to flash bootloader, recovery and system:
hab check failed for boot
hab check failed for recovery
invalid PIV signed system image
(when trying to flash a ROM with three sparsechunks, sparsechunk.0 gives the error, two remaining flash correctly, the phone boots, but the phone is unusable (most of the menus and stuff is just not there)
I have tried GPE, same thing (wouldn't even boot).
Only thing that always works is flashing Telus firmware.
Is there ANY way to bypass this limitation?
Please help me!

same for me bro. I tried US retail and it didnt work. I didnt unlock bootloader so I went back to the telus one.
I dont get why you cant get it in if you unlock bootloader
anyways, I doubt there is a difference between these stock rooms. just saying..

There is a fundamental difference in that Telus version only has a few system languages, and doesn't have the ones I need.

could you root it, install cwm and than install custom rom?

Yes, I've finally managed to flash CWM and Cyanogenmod. Thanks for the tips!

Sweet! Good to hear.

Anyone found a way to install non-Telus stock FW or GPE on a Telus Moto G in the meantime? It appears Moto G losdt CM support, so I would like to get back to stock - but Telus version is not acceptable.

I've tried flashing the US and GB retail with no success. The result of the effort was a loss of radio antenna with no network connection. Flashing the Telus firmware repaired the antenna issue with no errors when flashing all the files. The issue seems to be the bootloader and leaves me wondering if it needs to be unlocked. I'm not desperate to have a retail version that I'm willing to void the warranty by unlocking the bootloader.

AP Fastboot Flash Mode (secure) BIG ISSUE!!! (SOLVED)

:crying:Good guys!! im from Brazil and plz apologise bout mi porr english... let,s start
I was very Happy on Maxx xt1225 with soak of MM, so i think to make a little look on xda links of RR and CM13 to see if they're actualized, anyway whats a i did... just made a downgrade to stock KK 4.4.4 via fastboot instaled the TWRP and then flashed the RR, i didnt liked the rom e rollback to KK 4.4.4 with fastboot again, in this time i did not flashed the custom recovery AND REALLY DO NOT relocked mi bootloader...

@W7nstroll You flashed an american (droid turbo) over your brazilian bootloader. That's why you can't flash our stock rom back.
Relax, your cell isn't dead. I saw people recovering their phones after doing exact the same.
You can try qboot brazilian bootloader.img/gpt.bin with the same steps of american tutorial..
I can try help you through the steps if you install teamviewer and contact me (I'm brazilian too = www.facebook.com/junior.ilhabela)
EDIT: Download Turbo Unbrick 5.1 from that tutorial.
Replace the files for XT1254 to XT1225 from this site: https://github.com/ghassani/openpst-assets/tree/master/programmers/Motorola/ХТ1225
Flash bootloader/gpt/radio for XT1225 6.0.1 or 5.0.2

I had a similar issue with mine I had the Brazil bootloader installed on my turbo what I did was installed minimal adb and downloaded the stock software for my phone extract the contents into the adb folder and double click the .bat file from the unzipped stock software it then automaticly reinstalled everything on my phone back to factory it did not relock my bootloader but was back to stock in every other way and was able to reflash twrp and reroot and all that good stuff.

Thanks YOU ALL this brick was solved folowing this thread on G+ https://plus.google.com/114737944807074302746/posts/USYBQc9Fqz5

The XT1225 (FCC ID IHDT56PK2) and XT1254/XT1250 (FCC ID IHDT56PK1 -- both XT1254/XT1250 are really the same device) do not have compatible factory firmware.
The factory firmware of one FCC ID Quark is NOT compatible with the other FCC ID Quark.
All the XT1225 (Moto Maxx, Moto Turbo) factory firmware is compatible with each other.
All the XT1254 (Droid Turbo) and XT1250 (U.S. Moto Maxx) factory firmware is compatible with each other. (That is the "American" model, it's really the same phone).
But the XT1225 has a different FCC ID, different radio bands from the XT1254/XT1250. WHY would you flash a completely different factory firmware for a different FCC ID model? What did you hope to achieve?
The XT1225 is the better Quark anyway... Why would you want to turn it into an XT1254/XT1250 with LESS LTE and HSPA bands?

I hope your bootloader is unlocked. You should be able to use ADB to flash your stock ROM back.
Here, go read this thread.
How to Flash Different Official Firmware on Moto Maxx/Turbo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/help/tutorial-how-to-flash-official-firmware-t3074724
It says how to flash different firmware, but really you are going to use it to get your own firmware back. If your bootloader is unlocked, it will be more forgiving if you make a mistake.
All Quark firmware can be found here:
