Ok everyone the leak is here!
I have tested it all day and it works very well, very smooth.
Don't post here if you are having issues with this leak itself. If you have issues with the process then by all means post in here with the issue.
So this is a how to with all the files needed being posted in here as well.
1) FXZ back to full 100% stock 2.3.6, ONLY if you were ON GB to begin with!!! If you started on the ICS OTA, then do not attempt this, you will Brick!!!
2) Download the file below called Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip and copy it to the root of your SDcard (it does not matter how it gets there)
3) Boot into stock recovery (power off, then while the phone is off hold both the Vol up and Vol down button, right in the middle, then hold the power button until you see the boot menu, then highlight recovery with the Vol down button, and select with the Vol up button).
4) Get to the recovery menu (you should see an android with an exclamation point, at this point) by holding the Vol up and Vol down button, then the menu will pop up, select install from /sdcard, then select the Blur file from the root of your sdcard, and tell it to flash it. You will flash a new recovery and see a droid laying down with it's belly open and red exclamation point, this is normal, just hit both Vol up and Vol down again to get the menu and select to flash from sdcard again and choose the same Blur file as before.
5) Boot into ICS, and root using the zip below, you will connect the phone to your computer and use the root.bat (unzip this folder to your desktop) for windows and root.sh for linux/mac.

Fxz back to 2.3.5 from ICS, ONLY USE THIS METOD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805975
Please do not post anything in this thread but install issues. DO NOT ASK IF YOU SHOULD UN-ROOT OR IF YOU CAN STAY ROOTED, OR IF YOU DID THE FXZ YESTERDAY ARE YOU OK. Follow the instructions above, or don't if you don't you will NOT get support.
Note: I am not responsible if you bootloop. brick or wreck your phone, or if your girl leaves you cause you play with your phone too much because of this. You are doing this of your own free will!
You will most likely not be able to get the "real" OTA while on this leak, and since the BL is going to be the same, you may not be able to install the "real" OTA at all, so when it comes out you will need to give the devs time to make it work for anyone who installed this. Again no complaints about this either, your dev team will find a way to make it work. You just need to give us the time needed when it comes out if there are any issues.
Anyone have a link to the 2.3.5 fkz? All the links I've checked are down!
WOO! Awesome!

THANKS! Also should the OTA be bigger than 29mb? NEVER MIND
After install this ICS leak, can we come back to 2.3.6 using Atrix2Bootstrap?
Quick question.. If I fkz from 2.3.6 wont we get the "invalid CG version error"? There's a thread to fix that but it says it takes stock recovery away (which is needed to flash the OTA). How do i downgrade?

Hi,
I was stupid and flashed a mod in CWM which now means i can't get past pulsating boot screen. Because you can't access CWm from boot i'm screwed.
Whats the best way to restore the phone back to default. I was on 2.3.6, Do i just flash the fxz file from fastboot and that is it? Which file do use from the HK/TW list here. Do is still need to flash the patch first? http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have the HK TW version of the phone and was on 2.3.6 (latest OTA) The patch that it talks about is for 2.3.5 right? so if i download the FXZ for 2.3.6 would i still need to apply the patch?
Plus i'm guessing this is the latest one right? "5.5.1-1_GC-109_HKTW_cfc.xml.zip"
Thanks again for help/

You need the patch. without it you will not be able to get your phone back. There are a few files that are updated in the OTA that CANNOT be flashed back, so it will just fail. the patch makes it skip those, which is not a problem at all and you will never know it.

Thanks for everyones help.
Here is what i did,
downloaded correct fxz file
patch files by copying them over the old zip file.
Drag and drop to RSD Lite
Plug in phone in fastboot mode and then install FXZ
Took about 15 minutes to finish. Now got a fully working Phone again.
(I did try it without patching files first and got an error first, so thanks for that tip. That is what i was mostly concerned about)

Atrix 2 has a locked bootloader mate. No flashing radios/kernels or anything of the sort with a locked down bootloader. Impossible to do.

Not doable sir, even using moto-fasboot flash radio radio.img" adb command??
Thanks
Guys you can flash a radio image with moto-fastboot just fine, but I will tell you that you can ONLY use the radio images that come with the fxz, you will ONLY flash the radio file from there. You unfortunately do not have too may choices though, only the radio from 2.3.5, or 2.3.6, or 4.04 since those are the ONLY FXZs that we have. What you can not do is make your own radio files and flash them, like on other phones. If you are in another part of the world with a US AT&T phone and you flash another region's radio files, your phone will likely have no signal, so be careful to ONLY use radios meant for your version and region.

No, that will likely cause a bootloop/softbrick. You must use official radio.img files as they are signed by moto. You can find out what firmware the other a2 is running and try and download that fxz and flash just that radio.img file so that it is the same as the other atrix2. No guarantees if that phone is a different version say international vs ATT, though.
i flashed radio of indian A2 ICS on ATT hardware .....
but didnt find any improvement in signal (which was affecting my 4G->Edge shifting in auto mode)
Sir, the other phone i'd already ota upgrade to ics stock. 6.7.2-226-EDICS-8

Hope someone still reads this thread. I have an Atrix 2 but I think the last owner try a lot of times a wrong unlock code, I got the correct code but it didnt work, a solution for this kind of problem in a Atrix 1 was to reflash the radio.
Where can I get the official radio files for this device? maybe can post the step by step guide to do that?

fist you need to go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138092 download moto fastboot win 32 (the one at the very bottom) unzip it to the root of your hard drive ( C:/ ) then put the attached radio image inside that folder,power off your phone and turn it on by pressing power button and vol down keys, this will take you into fastboot, plug your phone to your pc, open a comand prompt inside moto-fastboot folder (right click while holding shift) and type
moto-fastboot flash radio radio.img
this will take like 2 secs then type exit, unplug your phone, pull battery, turn it on normally, there will be a dead android with a triangle comming out of his chest, press power button and it will power on normally
remember to have updated motorola drvers installed (google arround on a how to) , and use one of the back panel usb ports

This whole mess started when you tried to flash MEARET firmware on your AT&T phone. NEVER mix firmware!
And trying recovery at this point is not going to work, as the ICS zip is just a large patch file for 2.3.6. And since it failed on the fxz, a portion of your system is missing so ICS won't install. You need to fxz back.
What step is the script falling at? A screenshot would be helpful.
And for the future, please post questions in the Q&A form.

Well I hate to tell you man. But you are soft bricked until we find an fxz for ICS.
Recovery and cdrom are failing because cdt.bin isn't flashing. And we haven't found a fix for this yet.

but please explain to me.i had a motorola a1200 and a siemens sx1.when i flashed a firmware, all the flash memory erased and new data wrote at flash.if i had bootloader, all was fine.the only method to brick a phone was to replace the battery when flash the bootloader(or flash false bootloader).
at A2, why when i write a new bootloader and new mbr(and partition table?) is necessary to flash the same or newer edition of firmware?this is because bootloader is locked?
i thought when i flash a new firmware, all the flash memory erased and writes new data(at the begining the bootloader, after mbr with partition table, after the image(i think this is the kernel of linux) and all other the data)

Whiteboi, thanks for your consideration of others but PLEASE, research before you try to help others. For one thing, he is on an MB865 AT&T phone and therefore MUST download the firmware for an AT&T phone. The international versions of the A2 are completely different, including radio, WiFi and the like. NEVER mix firmwares.
Also, he already flashed international firmware which is what got him into this predicament in the first place. He also installed the OTA update for ICS for which there is NO GOING BACK. Read the threads I gave him and educate yourself man.
I applaud you generosity, but if he wasn't already bricked, your advice would have surely/quite possibly bricked him. Be careful man.
Read, read, read!

If you did the OTA ICS update you WILL NOT be able to flash the FXZ back. We have no way out of this right now. And if you are bootlooping or stuck on the splash screen then you are bricked. Sorry mate.

Dude it works and he can then reflash his fw so what's the big deal the one I bricked was at&t non international and that method worked great but I'll take your advice man

i tried your method without any Success.
so "fall of enosis" is right.maybe the solve of the problem is to find an ics firmware(from at&t????)

Yeah man, if you OTA'd to ICS then I can almost guarantee it will fail at step 3 of the flash process which is the cdt.bin. If you are using the script it will also fail on the recovery portion and the cdrom portion. These are both because of the cdt.bin As of right now, we have no fix for this. Once again, this is the reason we are recommending people to ONLY use the first leak, and not OTA to ANYTHING unless it's 2.3.6 GB. Once again, reference the links I sent you.
You're bricked sir.
Until we find an ICS fxz. Which might be A LONG TIME.
Time to get a replacement/new phone.

Hey guys!
Was trying to solve the restart loop problem by installing a MIUI rom, but I am now stuck on this screen that says..
Stuck on AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Boot Failure)
Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
Invalid CG OTV(CG: webtop): Invalid SP Data
Invalid CG Version (CG: webtop)
Invalid CG OTV (CG: webtop)
Any thoughts or help would be highly appreciated
Did you find the proper fxz for your base firmware and flash it?
Need more info about where you are coming from, what you did to get this problem, and what you have tried..

I am not sure what fxz is...but from what I know, it was on 2.3.6 and next update was failing and it was restarting..so I rooted the phone, installed the bootstrap...tried installing miui from there.. it restarted and now I am on that screen...
Have not tried anything else after that... I was looking around and it seems, I should flash something from fastboot mode? I am currenty downloading the ics fastboot files... planing to use RSD lite to install it...
Is that right approach?
Thanks for your help through...much appreciated.
EDIT: Its an AT&T Atrix 2 if that helps..
So, you were on 2.3.6? The 4.0.4 update failed?
If so, then you should probably be using the 2.3.6 fxz/sbf/fastboot/firmware files - flash those to go back to stock GB, then ota update to ICS the normal way (unless returning to GB is important to you - if so, find ICS leak #1 and install that instead of the ota update after restoring stock 2.3.6).
And yea, you need to be on ICS base to install miui (unless there's a GB version I didn't know about).

Edit: you seen this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32113181
Links to the att-us 2.3.6 and 4.0.4 fastboot files are there.. Just read carefully and ask if you're not sure.
It's important to know if you were on 2.3.6 or 4.0.4.. and if you just tried to install a new ROM (system only) through custom recovery, or if you flashed something else through fastboot.
I was surely on 2.3.6, but it was not stable and was rebooting quite often ...it was also trying to download the next update, each time the phone was on...but it would just restart before the download could ever finish...
I rooted the phone after that, installed bootstrap.apk to get into clockwork recovery, then tried installing the MIUI which was based on 4.xx something .... but that failed and I got stuck in that screen....
So, basically, I should download AT&T 2.3.6

use fastboot and follow these steps?
Fastboot erase system
Fastboot erase userdata
Fastboot update romfilename.zip
Fastboot reboot
OR
Try to use RSD lite instead?
One more problem though...I tried using the fastboot erase system command...and it tells me Battery low...
I have the phone on charger now, but the Fastboot screen comes up again and I am not sure if it will charge this way?
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
You need to charge somehow (wall charger, macgyver method, another battery, friend's phone, at&t store, etc).. It doesn't charge in fastboot mode.
Then try RSD lite..
Otherwise, you would need to use moto-fastboot commands. See the files in the zip package here for examples (you can look at the .bat files for the proper commands): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36834775&postcount=108

So it just reboots at random? Or it boots to Fastboot mode everytime?
If it's random reboots, you might have a hardware issue in your phone.. And you could ask AT&T for a replacement (they will most likely just give you a new Atrix HD since our A2 has been EOL'd).
If it boots straight to fastboot everytime, then there's something else.. not sure what, but I have seen others post of that issue.

It reboots every 3-4 mins or so... Also noticed, it says under settings, that radio if Off and there is no IMEI number...also I cannot seem to turn off the Airplane mode..
Does that indicate something?

Hmm.. Yea.. What the heck did you do to it? Did you erase your cid? Do you have a backup of it? If not, sorry to say, but you may be out of luck...

I was only doing a OTA update and I ended up in this mess of reboots, then I tried installing the 4.something MIUI, then fastboot files of 2.3.6...and now in this mess
I dont have any backup files or anything...if there any way I can go to stock maybe? or maybe if I can somehow manage to go to ICS, this might be fixed? No ideas :crying:

You did go back to stock 2.3.6 (the fxz should have flashed all stock images/files)... but if your cid is gone (not positive though that that is your problem), there's no getting it back (it is specific to each device).
You could try forcing the update to 4.0.4 by following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779968 - but not sure it will install the update if it can't recognize your phone. You are sure it is an AT&T phone, right?
Unless some other members here have some ideas, not sure what else to try... except calling AT&T for a replacement if you bought it under contract. Just tell them that an over-the-air update failed and the phone keeps rebooting..
So, I wonder, did the OTA update start installing, then fail (a while after installation started)? Maybe that messed things up.. Usually, if it fails right away at the beginning of installation during the system checks, then it should be no issue.. But if it was interrupted later during the install, then that can cause major issues.
