I would be happy to help (as long as the process isn't too overly complicated). I'll be on the road all day, but should be able to flash what you have Friday night.
Thanks for working on this!

So, are we able to perform backups/restores through the Boostrap or do we have to use the fastboot files if something goes amiss?
Nevermind saw your post in the bootstrap thread, awesome! I'll put the fastboot files on my phone just in case.

Backup and restores are performed through bootstrap for right now. The fastboot files need to be on your computer so you can run them via RSD lite. But only if something goes wrong

Sign me up, I have an extended warranty so if it dies, I can get a replacement.

I would love to beta test

I want to test too! \o/

i would like to test it out also. permitting that it is not too involved.

What apps did you remove for debloating?
Did you remove the CIQ?
Overclocked the cpu?
Hehe sorry for the questions just wondering what changes have you made. Thanks.

Hook it up... I'm in..

Would definitely like to beta test!

I'm in also i have 4 family members with atrix 2 and they are all dying for a custom ROM, I'm the geek one of the family !!

Even though we're eagerly awaiting, please take your time. We definitely appreciate all the effort you're putting into this. Many thanks!

I'm not just debloating i'm debluring it. It'll take some time but i'm sure ill get it. I'm trying to make it as vanilla as possible and remove every trace of Motorola/Blur.

Sounds great to me. I'm looking forward to testing it.

Where is this rom at and what's it overclocked to

MIUI Skyrocket

http://forums.miui.us/showthread.php?20745
Development for MIUI skyrocket has been started by 0xD34D.
Please assist him by testing and giving logcats of any issues you have.
His name is lithium76 here on xda.

HOW TO INSTALL:
1. Place zip on root of SD card.
2. Boot into cwm, take a nandroid.
3. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache.
-----3a. Or use darkside wipe.
4. Install zip from SD.
5. Reboot system. Enjoy
NOTES:
This has most of the same bugs our aokp R1 had and maybe a few other small bugs.
To fix reboot menu. After initial boot let rom settle for 5mins, manually boot into recovery, wipe cache/dalvik. Reboot system.

Hey, just a heads up.
I'm thinking you might want to work off of the stock MIUI build. Don't install the AOKP kernel. The UCVL8 kernel has everything except orientation working. No other bugs. Nothing. Zilch.
Contact me if you want any help.

[Q] Be very careful with Goo Manager...Hard Bricked my Skyrocket

I've been rooting phones, flashing roms, and even flashing others phones to different carriers for, 5-6 years now I'd say. So, I know what I'm doing. I recently started using Goo Manager to download things occasionally, and to say the least I'm screwed. Downloaded the latest twrp recovery and it automatically booted into recovery and flashed the image. Endpoint...hard bricked.
Just be careful with goo is all I'm saying. I never confirmed it to flash the download and it didn't even ask. As soon as it was done dl'ing it just did it. I knew instantly it was going to be problematic. Because it wasn't actually the twrp img for my skyrocket. I was downloading it to use on another phone and transfer to my computer. So, now I'm without a phone. Sucks..
Anyone know of a way to get into download mode without having to use Jtag? lol prolllly not

Sounds like a noob mistake and also it tells you in too manager when you select install custom recovery its not goo.managersfault its lack of reading

I am not sure why someone that has been doing this for years would put anything on the phones memory that doesn't go with the phone for any reason. It seems like half, if not more, of the bricks that happen are because of the wrong thing trying to be installed on the phone. Knowing that, it seems like a good idea to NEVER put anything on the phone that doesn't go with the phone, if you plan on using it or not. I guess this is just another precautionary tale for others now because if you really are hard bricked then Jtag is your option. Assuming you have already tried download mode, Odin, etc...Anyone doing this as long as you would have already known to try that stuff first...right? Good luck.

I got into a similar problem with goo manager. Ended with hard brick. Will never use goo or rom manager. Odin and twrp or cmw are the way to go. And never, ever flash anything unless you know it's for your device. That was the problem with goo, it said it was but wasn't.

You know you can force a reboot of the phone during the download by holding the power key or pulling the battery, right? If you knew what the file was, why didn't you do that?
I've downloaded ROM files hundreds of times through GooManager and gapps files at least a few dozen on three different phones across two platforms (Rocket and Note II). I've also flashed recoveries through it more times than I can remember. It's never once caused a problem, downloaded the wrong file, or even soft-bricked me.

I thought you couldn't brick a phone by a botched recovery flash. Because it's only writing to the recovery partition and not the system. Just what I once read anyway.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

I didn't know it was the wrong file until after it installed. It was supposed to be a gapps package that went with the Rom. I't didn't look right and I should have known better but I went with goo.
Just reinforces you should always know that what ever you flash make sure it's for your specific device.

[Q] cwm touch FAIL

Having a problem with making nandroid back ups. First off a little back ground. I rooted and unlocked using the tutorial found here on xda had no problems every thing went well I chose clockwork mod touch as my recovery program. I can flash anything wipe bla bla bla... but I can only make a nandroid to the internal sd . When I try to backup to ext sd it fails while backing up system. so Im not sure what to do. Some what of a noobie so sorry !! Any help appreiciated

Is your external card full?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

The card shows 8.7 g free

Flash the non touch version of cwm and try that. If it works. Redownload the touch version and try again.... if it doesn't maybe you need to format your sdcard? I really am not sure. I use touch just fine on my wife's phone

Use this. It used to be on the playstore but I can't find it... ignore all the crap except for the flash recovery (or custom if u select the specific recovery) my recommendation would be to download the newest touch again. I believe its something like 6.2.3 download it... open that app I linked here and select custom to flash that recovery u downloaded
The hybrid mode and kernel was really meant for before we had our boot loader unlocked when we used kexec.

Another alternative is to download GooManager from the play store and try TWRP instead.

Boost ics stock rom?

Does anyone have Boost ics stock rom? My bootloader is unlocked and I have cwm but s-on. I don't have a way to get on a pc. Can I install through recovery with a nandroid or a .zip with s-on?

Sorry I didn't mean to post this in this thread. I'm not sure how to move it..

A moderator has to move it upon request. Yes, one is available on here, but you are S-On so you may have to pull the boot file from the backup, change name to boot.img then flash it using fastboot (which requires a pc)
However, I haven't been S-On in a long time so I could be wrong about the boot.img...
@russellvone could you elaborate for me.
Sent from my C525c using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Thanks for the quick reply! I know flashing probably wouldn't work and I already tried to use a jb nandroid from my brothers phone which didn't work which is why I was wondering if a stock ics unrooted would work

I'm not real sure what happened. All I did was do factory reset in cwm and now its stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant

Haha, that's simple, when you did a factory reset in CWM you formatted your partitions. Your boot.img is still intact but you have nothing on your data, system, etc so there is nothing to load which is why you are not getting past the screen. Only do a factory reset in a custom recovery when like flashing a Rom for example. Which version OS were you on originally before you wiped your phone out ....

I don't have an ICS backup, but I know @russellvone does. He keeps stuff like this on hand for just a situation like this one. However, you should only need to flash the system.img and be good after that. I recommend doing an OTA update in your settings once you get your device back up and going. We will be receiving 4.2.2 with Sense 5 soon.
Anyways, I tagged him as you can see. Just visit back here periodically to see if he replied back. He will, I guarantee you that. He will help you restore your device
Sent from my C525c using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Okay, thanks for the help! Much appreciated!!! Would I have to flash the system.img with fastboot or would it be in a nandroid?

You will use your custom recovery. He will explain the steps. .

You can use a JB backup but you will need the firmware.zip that comes in the JB OTA to flash in rebootRUU to complete the process on your device.

Yeah I've been checking this off and on. You guys are life savers!! Thanks alot!

Your boot.img is still intact so flashing that Rom should get you booted up just fine. If for any reason you get stuck on the HTC screen then you will need to extract the boot.img and flash it with fastboot (however that shouldn't be necessary since you are still on stock boot.img for ICS)
