[Q] Atrix 2 (GSM model) ROMs..?? - Motorola Atrix 2

Ive been searching and searching, but I just cant find straight answers. I found quite a few ROMs for the Atrix 2, some look pretty sweet. BUT, I only found one that states anything about being for GSM. I was told that CDMA ROMs and GSM ROMs are different and cant be used on one another phone types. So, what ROMs can be used on my GSM Atrix 2? Add links please and thanks you =)
Im not really a noob at this, but this really has me stumped. Any help is much appreciated.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the ATRIX 2 is GSM only so u could flash/restore just about any rom on here the on difference is mearet and searet me865/mb865

That is what I thought. So what is the difference between searet me865/mb865? Anything major?
Thanks for the reply.

I will make it real easy... you can run ANY rom in the dev section on any atrix2 version... now if you have an me865 or an SEARET or MEARET edition you may need locale/language packs to use with some Roms... If you have an AT&T phone you should be good to go.

Thank you!!! Very much!! I usually don't have any problems with ROMing but people were telling me that its different from a CDMA (I use to have a Epic 4G Touch). But now I know, so thanks again

Just got the thrill can I use these?

Any one tried or know if I can use your rom's on the thrill 4g
And I'm coming from atrix crazy cwm can I just use rom manager recovery after I root my device with superoneclick?
Thanks

I think you can use the OneClick for root, but not the ROMS, beacuse our roms are made for 3G and your phone is 4G CDMA, so, i think the radio drivers are different (but is my oppinion).
Best regards,

Thanks for your input! I also just bought a thrill and was wondering the same. The thrill is GSM on at&t actually, so perhaps roms may work too if that's the only barrier?
One click works on LG thrill I have mine rooted since I picked it up yesterday
Ok cool guys thanks, Yea I'm about to do the superoneclick I'm not seeing a forum for us yet but I'm sure it wont take long.. The roms shouldn't take to long to port drivers radio ect. So cross yo fingers for some devs!

just so i got this straight

i just picked up a rooted and unlocked skyrocket. now i have been reading a lot of the how to's and other mods for the phone. to clarify though i can run any t989 rom or any i 727 skyrocket rom on the phone? also all i need to do is flash the tmobile radio pack for 3/4 g on tmobile?
i wont do anything until i get confirmation. no need to brick my shiny new white skyrocket lol.
any other tips ideas would be helpful and awesome!!!
I'm pretty sure you should only flash at&t from if you have at&t, and T-Mobile if you have T-Mobile. The carrier settings usually come with the rom, so if you have at&t and flash a T-Mobile you probably won't get any connectivity.
Just my thought, but I'm no dev. Do a search on the forums.

Yeah that's a good kernel. That's probably your best choice for a gingerbread rom...
Ics roms only have 2 kernels. Romracer and mohave

just use. Cwm touch recovery. It is much better then previous versions.
Do a nandroid backup before.
And as long as u stay in the skyrocket and t989 section you'll be fine.
Almost all people brick. Doing thing they shouldn't. Or flashing stuff from a diff device.
The t989 is almost identical to our device

Getting 4G on Skyrocket using T-Mobile

So I'm new to all this root stuff and what not and yes I have searched but all of them just say flash this radio do cwm do this and do that. But I don't know how to do that because I'm new so it would really help me if you could guide me through the process of getting 4G on my Skyrocket. Right now I am in version 2.3.5 Android, rooted and that's it. Thank you guys!

Skyrocket lacks the 1700Mhz band so previously it wouldn't have worked on T-mobile 4G (3G-extend)
But the New 4G band (1900Mhz), I'm not sure it would work or not.
(Some articles said that you can flash t-mobile's radio to active it.)
Just make sure you had an unlocked one.
And try to CWM it!

I do have an unlocked Skyrocket using it on T-Mobile right now but only getting edge. I unlocked it with an unlock code from eBay. But how could I CWM it? And what is that? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

S2 i727r for mobilicity help

I have a S2 i727R which is unlocked. Im trying to set it up to use it with mobilicity. its running android version 4.0.4. I also have it rooted. I searched around the forum and I tried using a few radios which I found in seperate threads. I used the t989 KID and VKI radios and I tried the Blaze 4G radio.
The problem is that whenever I flash the radio, my phone does not detect the sim card! It keeps saying Insert sim card. I even tried flashing the stock radio but the problem is still there.
Any help? thanks alothttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37144785&posted=1#
sim might not be all the way in.
also all the radios you flashed are NOT for rogers. For rogers I've had really good reception, call quality and decent data speed with ucll3.

I don't know if they'll work or not I'm just letting you know they're for a different carrier.
There is a radio thread (it's old and I don't remember what's in there) in the dev section. There are also new radios scattered in the dev section.

SGH-i497 ROM compatibility?

I see that there are plenty of ROMs available for the P51xx's, and since the P51xx's and the 497's are both Galaxy Tab 2's, would it be possible, just to use the build.prop of the P51xx's on a 497's rom?

I know of none, the Tmobile one would be close, but you would still run into a few problems. Just keep checking back... Sooner or later some developer will come along and conquer the last hurdle....

The Canadian SGH-i497 (ROM appears on sammobile but I cannot find reference to a Canadian Tab2) may support phone calls and sms messaging. I downloaded the Odin ROM from here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=20711
And checked inside and it seems to have the proper files. Since the i497 has practically no support on XDA I have been reluctant to install it. But recently another member posted the ATT 4.1.2 so I was thinking of giving it a try in the near future.
Canadian version is listed on Samsung of Canada but that is about it. No info is given. Why would they release a ROM for a tablet that just doesn't seem to exist?

I too have one of these things...Really want to Root it and install other ROM's....Found Cyanogenmod for p5100 but also reluctant to try it as it is not the SGH-I497...but it's so slow and laggy, I just am dying to at least give it a try, as long as I can back up current firmware....just need to research on how to do just that first...
I have a I497 as well but it is for Digicel Jamaica, anyone knows if the AT&T or Canadian 4.1.2 Rom would work on it? I'm thinking they should all be compatible since they are all sgh-I497.

AT&T gave us one for signing up for their cable service. sad to know that no custom roms available.
was able to get it rooted. was going to be a fancy toy anyways. amazing how under-powered this thing is.
I just wound up selling mine, wasn't worth it. If I remember right there was a Rom, but it was only a stock one that had the AT&T junk removed.
