(since i am new to this forum i have no rights to give outside links so i am giving headings in Bold so if you search with google you can find the videos or Links, Sorry for the inconvenience)
How to Root the Motorola Atrix 2 running Android 2.3.6 by mastermind278
I had followed these steps exactly and so i got my device Rooted.
But still i got same issue with Titanium Backup.
so i had followed the other two videos posted by the same user (Given Below)
Installation of custom recovery on Atrix 2 (ClockworkMod) by mastermind278
And
Installing a ROM on the Motorola Atrix 2 (SuperCharged Atrix) by mastermind278
but i had done it without taking any backup
After i had completed with the Custom ROM Supercharged v5
i had checked the Titanium Backup which worked as it is rooted perfectly now.
But i dint like this and any of the Custom ROMs
so i wanted to Revert it to Stock Rom v2.3.6 (which is best to me as i am a newbie)
For that i have read and tried some methods from google and this site aswell
But most of them are confusing to me, except the below methods from
Atrixforums
Atrixforums--How to revert atrix back to Stock ROM
I had downloaded Stock ROM from
Droid-Developers SBF --> Motorola Atrix 2 (MB685)
Which is ( 5.5.1-EDEM-27-SEARET_cfc.xml.zip ) as my Device is Indian Retail
I had also installed RSDLite v5.3.1 Multi-Flash/Flex Tool.
But when i tried to boot my device to RSD Boot by pressing and holding volume up + power buttons
It is either hanging up with M symbol loading screen or loading the Custom ROM, no matter how many times i tried it is the same.
I might be missing some steps or doing it wrong.
so please help me with detailed steps how to revert my device with latest Stock ROM (Indian)
I will be very much thank full for that
THANKS IN ADVANCE
HAVE A NICE DAY

There isn't cyanogen for the indulge, best I've found for this device is was a custom rom and kernel made by Konane posted on android forums all things root subsection for the indulge. Seems dev is dead for the device tho as it was posted last year and no new updates to it which are needed because it seems metro found a way to void some of the great improvements made.

Please help. Need back to stock ASAP

I have a razr maxx hd with cm 10.1 and twrp. bootloader unlocked of course.
My SD card died and had all my stock backups on it.
I am needing to get back to stock as soon as possible because I am heading on vacation and need the stock Camera back. It was actually fairly good. Focal and CM stock camera are trash on the x926
I tried the Droid Razr utility 1.21 but the program just crashes after "click any button to launch".
I tried another thread with links to the RSD Lite images, but all the links were dead. http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...r-xt926-back-to-stock-using-rsd-litefastboot/
Can someone please assist?
Since im bootloader unlocked i'm not worried about loosing root. I just want back on the latest stock firmware.
Download the lite version of the linked utility...

Try using RSD lite and flashing anyone of these ROMs depending upon the region your phone is from
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php (it has the list of all available stock ROMS)
You can find RSD lite on this link http://www.mediafire.com/download/5mvfxv88twuvh34/RSDLite5.7.msi

Restart loop

Hello
I use a ROM with XT897 CM10.2.1 and SIM MOD CornholioGSM since July 2014, it was working fine.
I flashed the ROM-cm-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO23E 12.1-20150901-xt897 (RELEASE) one month ago and the ROM worked well. A week ago, the phone was much slower, I turn off reboot and since it constantly!
I made the following transactions with TWRP:
- Reset factory
- Flash ROM (cm 12.1-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO23E-xt897)
- Flash ROM (BlissPop-v4.0.1-xt897-OFFICIAL-20150917-1514)
- Flash recovery (cm 12.1-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO23E-xt897-recovery.img)
- Flash TWRP
- Flash ROM (cm 12.1-20151007-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO339-xt897)
Always the same, I have the boot logo and the logo of the ROM and the phone reboots.
The ROM (CM12.1) has started once and then restart the phone has rebooted repeatedly.
I tried with or without a SIM card.
I do not understand where does the problem, can you help me?
Well not having the phone in front of me, I don't really quite understand the issue myself - however, I would suggest using RSD Lite and one of the FXZ files to flash everything (including recovery) back to stock.
If you still have issues, there is a bigger problem (likely hardware failure).
Hello
sorry if my explanation was not clear.
I added a photo which shows the two steps in the operation of my phone.
Step 1: Start the phone .
Step 2 : boot ROM CM12
The Step 2 lasts 23 seconds then return to Step 1 and Step 2 and Step 1, Step 2 infinitely .
I hope this is understandable .
I read on the forum that used some RSD Lite but as I had not used for the ROM installation, I did not understand why use .
I'm a new user, i can't post picture, I send link by PM, thanks.
I thought my last post made it clear what purpose RSD Lite and the FXZ files are - they restore the phone to stock completely - ROM, recovery, everything will be reset to when it was stock from the factory (granted it may be a newer image than what shipped on the phone, but you get the point).
Again, as I stated previously, if you still have issues after flashing everything stock your issue is likely not software, but hardware.
I searched the forum about RSD Lite. Now I understand its usefulness.
I used RSD Lite to flash the ROM asanti_c_sprint-user-4.1.2-9.8.2Q-122_XT897_FFW-5-6-release-keys-cid9.xml.zip
My phone had with SPRINT .
The flash went well but unfortunately I still have the same problem :
Step 1: unlocked bootloader screen
Step 2: The red M MOTOROLA
Step 1, Step 2 , .....
Is there another test or I can consider it a hardware problem ?
Hardware problem can come out of the MODSIM ? I use a SIM card in the phone for 16 months.

The hardware issue is likely not related to the SIM modification. As to what exactly has failed, I'm not sure... perhaps the NAND or something else memory related.
Aouch aouch...
Thank you for your help.
I think it remains for me to search for a motherboard for photon Q.
Long life in the forum!
Use "borrowed" TWRP recovery image.

I had a similar incident a few days ago. I have a hard time stopping myself from pushing the limits. Usually I stop when it's broken. I tried RSD Lite, SDB sideload/ flash, zip install from recovery, fastboot(mine's dead), all with no luck.
Any how, If you have CWM, temporarily change to TWRP. If you already have TWRP it's easier.
XDA has a TWRP recovery image in the forum. Put that in your sdcard (I had to paste it from my computer because my xt897 was soft bricked). Flash from TWRP.
Worked fom me. got my phone back after 1 week of flashing everything and then some.
Good luck.

Hello
thank you for this new information.
I tried it and it worked with the ROM [PQ_ICS-Stock] but only with that one!
I tried the ROM [PQ_JB-421] , several Cyanogen ROM but still the same looping boot problem.
I tried several version of TRWP without success .
I do not understand why my Photon Q only works with this ROM [PQ_ICS-Stock] .
Is still a motherboard problem ?
Hello everyone
I'm going crazy !
As I had not managed to solve my problem, I ordered a mainboard on ebay.
Today I realized the SIMMOD on this new board.
when I restarted phone the same startup problems with the ROM SPRINT !
I unlocked the bootloader .
I installed TWRP 2.7.1.2
I installed CM12.1-20151219 - NIGHTLY - XT897
Still the same problem starting loop.
Someone an idea ?

If you can't RSD Lite, something is up. Either you are not doing the process correctly, or there is something wrong with the device (still).
Perhaps you were always on ICS and never made the official jump to JB? You say you can RSD Lite to an ICS version, just not a JB version? So 4.0.x works but 4.1.x does not?
Again I'm talking stock. If stock doesn't work, I wouldn't even attempt CM. Start with the basics, then work your way towards the aftermarket.
I agree that if the stock rom does not work after the installation with RSD Lite is that it remains something (software) .
The first motherboard I used 12.1 CM for several months it is that the phone supports android 5.1
I agree that it must abort running a stock ROM before flashing a ROM CM. But the ICS ROM STOCK works!
It is possible that I did not do the process correctly .
What surprises me is that the second board had the same problem with the ROM SPRINT !
I will do other tests.

This is the part that makes me think you are perhaps missing some step in the process somewhere.
Can you RSD Lite to ICS? Not flash it with TWRP. If that is successful, try to RSD Lite to the latest JB again.
I modified the second motherboard ( mod sim card ) and I started the phone with the ROM SPRINT and I got the boot problem repeatedly.
the common point of two motherboards is that they both have a bad ESN .
I will do other tests.

Bad ESN shouldn't prevent booting... it would prevent you from activating the device on the Sprint network, but I would imagine you don't care about that...

I used RSD Lite 6.1.6 for flashing the ROM [ 2014-03-09 - TSv2 ] but the process has blocked after the flash.
Here is what I did :
1- run RSD Lite
2- Start the phone in FASTBOOT mode.
3- usb phone connection to PC
4- opening of the ROM [ 2014-03-09 - TSv2 ] and "uncompress and start flashing"
5- flash goes well
6- the phone reboots => Logo M red => telephone reboot => Logo M red => again ....
7- RSD Lite waits for the restart ... [ it waits again, LOL ]
8- I turned off the phone and I unplugged.
9- I turned on the phone who start properly, I arrived at the language selection screen .
The ROM is an android version 4.0.4 , I think you know this ROM .
Why the process with RSD Lite has blocked the phone to reboot ?
That's what I did wrong in the process?
I have read many forum post, I tried several methods but only in the ROM 4.0.4 STOCK work. Flashed with RSD lite or restoration of a backup with TWRP.
I have the bootloop problem using RSD Lite 6.2.4 for ROM 4.1.2 CSPIRE or ROM 4.1.2 SPRINT. No error message of RSD lite. No error message of phone.
I've modified the XML file but it changed nothing.
Same problem using TRWP with custom ROM or restoration of a backup ROM4.1.2 JB.
Same problem using OPEN RECOVERY 209 with custom ROM.
Where is the problem ?
I would use CM12 ROM.

Without having the device in my hands, it's hard to say for sure. The only difference I can see you are doing differently from me is using a newer version of RSD. I doubt that would be an issue, but may want to try other RSD versions.
In the end, I suppose if 4.0.4 works, use that...
Thank you for you help.
I'll buy a other PHOTON Q on EBAY.
I do other test with the new PHOTON Q.
Hello
I received my new q photon.
It is version 4.1.2
I unlocked the bootloader .
I made a backup with TWRP and OPEN_RECOVERY_209 .
I tried an installation of 3 different ROM but I have an error message !
I do not understand where does the problem ?!
Is this a bad version of TWRP or ROM ?

BLU PURE XL - STOCK ROM or Assistance with Download Error

I own a BLU Pure XL, installed the custom CM12 rom to try out and I forgot to backup. I noticed someone uploaded the Stock Rom for 5.1 but for some reason It won't let me download anything from the play store showing it as paused all the time. I have cleared data for all the download apps,play store, and play store services within the apps section and installed a GAPP zip get the same result. The same error occurs with the OTA update saying cannot connect even with access to the internet and the ability to search the app store.
So if anyone has a stock 6.01 version and could upload it I would greatly appropriate it
I have the same problem. Unable to download anything from the play store. Still searching for a solution. Please let me know if you resolve this issue and I will do the same
I'm going through it ,too, thought about flashing Gionee ROM
Bought New Phone
I am not to much of a fan of the phone anyways so bought a BB Priv. If anyone finds a solution please post so I can have a backup phone
OK, I had to utilize the Gionee scatter file and stock ROM in order to get the phone partitioned correctly,
I then took the BLU Scatter file and Stock ROM , boot, and recovery and flashed it afterward. Then did a factory reset. Took updates then rooted, again. You are left with the Gionee splash screen... But that's an easy fix.
Appears that the versions of TWRP posted DO NOT partition the phone correctly and writes a TWRP partition that screws everything up.
I will post links or you can find them yourself in the meantime. They are all on xda mainly on the thread about rooting... Odd thing is. Phone seems to run better than before... I would have left the Gionee ROM up and running if it wasn't 4G only... I'll post links later.
Its been well documented to use the TWRP 2.8 not the 3,0 as it has issues partitioning. there is a whole thread about unbricking where we went into EXTENSIVE depth on this
