Hi everyone. i was just wondering can anyone upload the 2.3.5 stock atrix2 rom (500mb) att one on a reliable server preferably mediafire?
I cant seem to be able to find many downloads around. I have downloaded one of them but the download was constantly dropping so i dont want to flash a corrupt or incomplete download of the fxz img.

How to flash the FXZ once applying the OTA update and get back to 2.3.5, ONCE YOU UPDATE TO THE OTS 2.3.6 YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FLASH THE 2.3.5 FXZ WITHOUT FOLLOWING THESE STEPS BELOW!!
NOTE: Download this file HERE -
Unzip it and move all the the items in it to the stock fxz. You might get a warning about replacing files, just click OK. NOTE that Windows might not be able to handle the size of the fxz. I have 6 GB RAM but Windows still wasn't able to perform a drag-and-drop through the fxz's zip. I recommend that you just unzip the fxz and then put the files in. (You don't have to rezip it either, RSD Lite will still recognize it and will flash faster).
Thank you eveyone for all the help,
I am on 2.3.5 and i deleted bloatware, i was gonna update but handy i saw xda first where people were haveing trouble going 2.3.6 after bloat delete.

If you are new to android i highly recommend reading a lot before just jumping into something. Also before doing anything you need to always make sure you have a way to get back to stock. You have a link for the fzx so that should of been the very first thing you should of gotten ahold of before doing anything. I'm not trying to sound like a prick. Just take precautions and read first. Welcome to Android and hope you enjoy the A2.

I have that and i am in some other wierd trouble and i made a thread for it, would appriciate if you can help me there.
Okay,
So, I was trying to downgrade to stock 2.3.5 using rsd lite so I could flash ICS. However, RSD gets stuck at 14/18 "flashing system.img" for like 45 minutes. I did replace the files needed to downgrade in the FXZ and all of that and followed the steps down to the period. PLEASE HELP ME!
When I unplug and pull battery and reboot, I get invalid CG version or something like that...
A month or two ago I had the same problem. In one of the new ics threads someone asked about a way they were worried about doing because it replaced the boot image and took off stock recovery. That way works. You can then fxz a second time to completely stock using regular methods and regaining stock recovery.
I'm at the park with my son but I found it with Google. Not gonna try from my phone. Good luck.

same problem
I have a similiar issue, I'm downgrading from SCV6 to 2.3.5, downloaded FXZ, unzipped, replaced files from replace.zip and started flashing through RSD Lite. Followed all directions on NOOBS guide. Now I am stuck at 14/18 flash system "system.img" for an hour at the moment. Is this normal? If its not, what should I do? Disconnect, don't disconnect? Close program, don't close? Don't wanna mess things up even more
EDIT: Now here's the weird part, I had to stop the application cause I went to work, so I closed RSD, disconnected the phone and rebooted it and... the system loaded, and the phone is working... which is weird because the flashing got stuck at 14/18. Now I have a dilemna, wheter to try to flash 2.3.5 again or wait for some advice from you guys
EDIT2: Second Flash did the trick, took like 10 minutes
Hello everyone,
Would anyone help me please to direct me to a thread or instruction where I can update my rooted device from 2.3.6 to ice. I tried to do it thought wifi but it didn't work. I heard that I have to downgrade to 2.3.5 then update it to ice. I tried to go back to 2.3.5 but I couldn't "install aborted". As of now, I reset my phone and do not know what to do.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for your response. I went thought this thread before you provided and I followed the instruction but the installation aborted. So, I though that I was in the wrong thread. I spent two days trying to flash my device but I couldn't. That is way I need some help and guidance!!!

I need a whole lot more information to help you out.
1) What was the EXACT error you got.
2) Did you actually fxz to 2.3.6, before attempting to apply the blur zip file?
3) Did you try and root or restore anything before trying to apply the blur zip file, including signing into goolge?
4) Did you install ANY CWM bootstrap or the like, before trying to apply the blur zip file?
I would fxz to 2.3.6 and try again to apply the Blur zip file, and this time, please capture the error message with as much detail as possible, so that I know what to tell you to do next. Also next time please post this in my leak #1 thread, instead of a new one, thanks.

Yeah you can not just do a factory reset. You HAVE to fxz back to 2.3.6 from scratch, even if you are already on 2.3.6. Go grab the 2.3.6 fxz and flash that with RSD lite, then try again. It is real important that you flash the fxz and the do nothing, not even sign into google, or install ANYTHING, before trying to update with the zip file. I see that your build.prop was the issue in your error, that tells me you did not fxz, and you MUST do that.
Oh and By the way you can get the 2.3.6 FXZ from here:

And this is the file you want, if you are on AT&T:

Thank you so much, if you don't mind, I will update you when I finish doing what you recommended.
Ok, now I did use the RSD lite to go back to the fxz 2.3.6. All the process went will and I got the PASS under the status. When the device started I notice that I am in ICE not 2.3.6!! so do I have to do the next step in this thread ??

No. You are on ICS now the same version as the ota, which by the way is no longer off limits sine we have an ICS fxz, as you just witnessed. You can use the root from thread though, if you want root.

Thank you soooo much for your kind help and your time as well.
Do any of the sr contributors ever read what they post in NOOB sections or procedures
I see many SR responders that I can guess just live and make a living off of modifying and changing android system. Problem is that unless you do things everyday. Many of the abbreviations and shortening of terms is the cause of many of the questions us part time modify-er of phones ask.
But unless you do it everyday. Simple for many but many tasks have to be reviewed and gone over again and re-read. Many modify and then only do it again when they get tired or have a new phone. Many of us have some of the same desires and likes but don't have the time or inclination to do it fulltime or live for programming and Modifying. Were users. We don't like the stock bloats and addons that we get with stock phones.
Simple example is going from 2.3.6 operating version to 4.04. Have a thread [HOW TO] get your AT&T phone onto ICS Leak #1 - Process Updated 11/11/2012.
Simple questions such as ON GB or figuring out if my phone modifying OR I have put Leak 1 or 2 on my phone. or ICS OTA. just figuring out what a leak meant was a task.
With my Atrix2 I went from 2.3.5 to root to 2.3.6 with a modified ROM. So back tracking and knowing if I'm in ICS of 2.3.6 or a modified version . That won't work. By reading it seems to be that to go to 4.04 you need to be in stock ATT FXZ by using the RSD lite. Then get the new 4.04 over the air (OTA)
Then you have a stock 4.04 . You then can go do the root zip. Then load titimium backup and reload all of your apps and settings.
But read how your write your procedures. Probably get half as many questions if most of the links work. Example try to find RSD Lite 6.0 link.
You then add into all of this mix different phones, MFG's. etc. Example Atrix is almost in 3 different versions.
Also all the crap that is added to the end of post. Half the time there is more adds and quips and comments that get added and added to each response. That slows the reading from what is important to glaze over at the added 4 inches of not need to know.
Not a pretty picture. Sure many don't read more then one or two links. But doesn't help when you send a read and you'll find the answer. Just either answer or don't respond.
How you abbreviate the answer is only going to make part timers ask the same question time after time. It's nice sharing information. But just make a SR section if you don't want us to ask questions. That have been asked - and asked-

Now if you have something to post to help the OP, even though this has been solved, then spit it out. If you have a question then ask it, otherwise go post elsewhere, as this post was utter crap and disrespectful to all of the people in the Atrix2 forum.
--EDIT--
Yeah I get one thing you were complaining about was peoples signatures, but too bad. People have every right to put whatever they want in their signature, and it does not need to have anything to do with anything, and sure does not need to even be related to android. I am guessing that your work e-mail signature is boring and dry and just has your name and title... Mine at work actually lists all my certifications in binary, so... Again if you do not like it, go someplace else.
Yeah I am being harsh, but for your 5th post total and, looking at the other junk you have posted you are not off to a good start. Stop whining and grow up, and read, read, and oh yeah read EVERYTHING again, you might actually learn something. If you do not understand an acronym, then ask what that means. I would rather have someone ask what is an FXZ or what is RSD lite and how do I get it, than having someone complain about it, in the insulting way that you have.
Oh and one last thing, ALL of us in here do this for free in our free time, and are not "pros" as you so insinuated, so you might also think about that the next time you post.
Hi, Is there any one suceeded to downgrade from leak Jb 4.1 to ICS 4.0.4??
If yes could some one make video or provide step by step procedure.
There is no thread related to downgrade from leak jb 4.1 to ICS 4.0.4
even though many claimed they suceeded to downgrade.
Thanks

I have. You will have to download the correct file from here . (if your phone is Asia retail like mine , download the 2nd one in the list)
Flashing is the same way you did the JB leak. It's via RSD, put the phone in fastboot and flash via RSD.

My second and last question is( bear with me it's some how long)
1 I was previously in gingerbread 2.3.6,( the phone was asia retail), I flashed directly from gingerbread to jb leak 4.1.
Everything seemed ok and it passed RSD and the phone booted but stuck in motrolla splash screen ( kinda soft brick),
There was error in my lappy running window 7 64bit , mtp usb drive failed to instal(In device manager when i tried to update mtp usb driver it said
newer version of driver already installed),
Now a second scenerio starts Being in softbrick I tried to downgrade from jb to ICS, every firmware except those written with fastboot p3( I guess only chinese version) can be flashed through RSD , otherwise if fimware like 6.7.2 ------mearet or 6.7.2 ------ searet when flashed failed with error in step 4 in rsd like it shows rebooting in bootloader and shows failed error. So my point is only chines firmware with fastboot p3 can be flashed easily. Now I flashed both chinese and hongkong ICS firmware with title fastboot p3-------, and they both flashed correctly and passed but same things happened as jb leak, stuck in M logo and mtp usb driver failed error in my lappy.
Now my last option to fully boot was to go to gingerbread , so I downloaded couple of stock rom like 5.5.1 edem-27searet, it didnot flashed and got error with rebooting bootloader in step 4 or 5. At last I tried fastboot-p3_edison-edison-user-4.0.4-6.7.2_GC-180-EDS-20-31-release-keys-ChinaRetail-CN_chn.tar and it booted properly.
Now again I tried two times to go to ICS or jb leak and samething happened, stuck in M logo. But gb firmware always booted properly.
Please read above scenario before replying, because I haven't seen such situation in the whole xda thread for atrix 2 and by googling, Everyone flashed the rom and they said booted properly
My questions are
1 I want to flash jb leak rom or otherwise ICS, what will be my step?? I'm desperate to try these roms. Please keep in mind about my above situation as i'm unable to flash like other people do.
2 Why the above situation happening like softbrick while upgrading and why other firmware file are not flashing except titled with fastboot? Is it related to kernel or bootloader. When I was in xperia S when I updated from gb to ics same scenario occured but i tackeled situation by flashing in kernel. When I was in AT&T Infuse 4g, I tacked the above situation by upgrading from froyo to gb by updating from froyo bootloader to gb one.
But situation about atrix 2 just blow my head, I'm trying from 4 days, read every thread of xda related to atrix 2 , atrix 4g, googled for solution, watched video from youtube, tried every firmware but none solved my problem .
So waiting for solution from my senior XDA's
Thanks
1. we have a locked bootloader. ( no custom kernels/edits )
2. You aren't supposed to flash any other firmware files other than the correct one according to your phone region.
3.all the files from the thread i linked to are fastboot files ( correct me if i'm wrong) and are to be flashed via RSD while in fastboot mode ( turn off the phone, press power and volume down simultaneously to get there).
And by mistake of you flashed att firmware, then your phone will be completely screwed up. ( there are hardware and bootloader differences bw att and international versions )
Since you can successfully boot to gb, which firmware version does it state ?
Have you tried taking an OTA ICS? ( idk how well it might go).
I hope Jim comes across this thread

Thanks for ur fastest reply
1 True i know our bootloader is locked
2 If we aren't how we can flash chinese firmware on our set?
3 True
4 True At&T firmware can't be flashed on or model and vice versa
5 As per ur question gb version which i can boot is 2.3.6 and the firmware i Flashed is fastboot-p3_edison_edison-user-2.3.6-5.5.1-1_GC-109-52-release-keys-ChinaRetail-CN_chn.tar.gz
6 Can I take OTA ICS even though my set was not previously in Chinese firmware out of box. By luck or unluck I'm now settled in chinese firmware
7 Now last question is can i go directly to Angeeks jb 4.1 firmware posted in the thread.
Once again thanks :good:

A small correction.. If you have a retail phone, you can flash any region firmware as long as it is for this phone. Just don't flash att ones. The radio is different and your phones cdt security number will be increased if you do.
Regarding flashing jb leak, how long did you wait after flashing? First boot usually takes long..

About 30 minutes after flashing
More update I Flashed ics hk firmware, and this time it showed android is upgrading 1of 30, then passed 30/30 and then freezed for 25 minutes.
So after waiting for 20 minutes and stuck in android is upgrading I took out the battery and entered into recovery and did factory reset and wipe cached.
Now this time no android is upgrading message came up and stuck in M logo
To try any of the ROMs available ( except the gb ones, official jb leak, and one or 2 ROMs based on that) you should be on an ICS base ( they are built based on the ics kernel).
And to try the angeeks jb ROM, you should be on the JB leak 1st.
ROMs like PA, CM10, 10.1, they all need ics as base.
If nothing is really working out, you should probably give the phone to service station.( tell some lie about how that happened )

Ok, so... there is a major issue going on here.
You flashed the HK/TW firmware on an international MEARET or SEARET phone, the HK or TW firmware is very much like the AT&T versions and that they lock the bootloader version so that upgrading or downgrading and changing firmware regions are blocked for the most part. There is a file in all the firmware version that tells RSD and the phone if it can or can not flash things... the one everyone knows is the CDT.bin, and the one that not everyone knows about is the CID, and the CID can get you into BIG trouble if you do not know what it is, or why it is there, so DO NOT mess with it, unless you know what you are doing... The CDT.bin on the other hand is part of EVERY FXZ, it will tell RSD if you can flash something for the most part or not.
Your ONLY chance is to flash your PROPER version of ICS firmware through fastboot commands. I will not give directions again, they are posted in several threads in here, do a search in the general section for the commands.... you MUST flash all the same files that RSD lite would to make this work, and you can no skip any of them. I would look for the order and the files to flash in the .xml file that comes with the firmware so that you know the order and partition names and such.
You MUST have the following and at the latest versions, even if you have the drivers installed, uninstall them and reinstall them again.
1) A2 moto drivers
2) Android SDK
3) moto-fastboot command/utility for your operating system
4) The PROPER ICS FXZ file for your phone and region
5) understanding of the comand line and the commands that are needed to flash with the moto-fastboot utility
After you have done all of that flashing, you should be on the proper ICS for your region. If you want to try and do the JB leak again, then it MIGHT, work, but I am not sure if it will or not.
It is a real bad idea to flash other regions firmwares to your phone, unless they are leaks, and have been tested to work on your regions handset, just for future reference.

The CDT.bin on the other hand is part of EVERY FXZ, it will tell RSD if you can flash something for the most part or not.
Your ONLY chance is to flash your PROPER version of ICS firmware through fastboot commands. I will not give directions again, they are posted in several threads in here, do a search in the general section for the commands.... you MUST flash all the same files that RSD lite would to make this work, and you can no skip any of them. I would look for the order and the files to flash in the .xml file that comes with the firmware so that you know the order and partition names and such.
You MUST have the following and at the latest versions, even if you have the drivers installed, uninstall them and reinstall them again.
1) A2 moto drivers
2) Android SDK
3) moto-fastboot command/utility for your operating system
4) The PROPER ICS FXZ file for your phone and region
5) understanding of the comand line and the commands that are needed to flash with the moto-fastboot utility
After you have done all of that flashing, you should be on the proper ICS for your region. If you want to try and do the JB leak again, then it MIGHT, work, but I am not sure if it will or not.
It is a real bad idea to flash other regions firmwares to your phone, unless they are leaks, and have been tested to work on your regions handset, just for future reference.

Thanks jim for the gr8 info,
Would you recommend me for OTA update to Ics from here? It's saying update available
Do my mobile boot in this scenario?
Any consequences taking OTA.
Thanks again for help

I would not take any OTA, since we have FXZ files that are properly made for the regions our phones are made for, if you know what I mean. The only difference is that an FXZ will wipe your phone clean and you have to resync with google for calandar and e-mail and contacts and apps and such.
With out knowing the EXACT firmware you are on right now, I can not really tell you how safe an OTA or an FXZ will be for you. I am only guessing at this point, that you are still on the HK/TW firmware, and why I suggested you flash the MEARET/SEARET firmware by hand with the moto-fastboot commands, to get you where you should be again, before you try the JB leak, or whatever you are after.
Need to make decision!
Hi guys!
For first, sorry for my bad english. I hope you can understand me. Greeting from Belarus!
I have ME865 with United Arab Emirates warranty.
I flashed my Atrix 2 from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 6.7.2_EDEM-18-MEARET. It worked fine.
Then I flashed official 4.1.2 leak, rooted it.
Which region firmware I need choose to success downgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.0.4?
Really need your answer! Thanks!
I have some bugs on JB:
1. Can't send and recieve mms.
2. APN dissapear after every reboot. Fix - after reboot turn on/off airplane mode.
3. Bad GPS. Fix - install GpsFix app.
4. Recieve USSD message with sound.

Just had flash 4.0.4 mearet. All works.

As per your question jim I'm currently in android version 2.3.6
system version 55.91.109.ME865.ChinaRetail.en.CN
Model number ME865
build number 5.5.1-1_GC-109
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-g8b6f7f9
[email protected]#1
And I flashed this firmware to get fully boot fastboot-p3_edison_edison-user-2.3.6-5.5.1-1_GC-109-52-release-keys-ChinaRetail-CN_chn.tar.gz
-Also tried different firmware like jb 4.1 leak flashed passed booted but stuck in M logo splash screen.
-Flashed both ICS build from china and hk/tw and stuck in M logo as in jb
-Tried searet and Mearet firmware for both ICS and Gb build but failed after 5/21 rebooting to bootloader and failed
-And at last I tried fastboot-p3_edison_edison-user-2.3.6-5.5.1-1_GC-109-52-release-keys-ChinaRetail-CN_chn.tar passed and booted.
Jim What will be my next move??
Can I try fast boot method as u mentioned or OTA update to ICS
Thanks

But you are supposed to be on SEARET/MEARET as your "real" "home" firmware, correct?
If you are supposed to be on SEARET/MEARET, then I would go here, and grab the ICS FXZ file for the SEARET/MEARET firmware, and use the fastboot commands to try and flash it. As always there is no guarantee, and there is always a chance of brick so be careful.
The reason I am really pushing for using the fastboot commands, as I mentioned earlier, that since you are "manually" flashing the parttitions one at a time, from the command line, there will be no checks to see if the proper CDT.bin is on the phone before it does it, and this will save you, in that you should be able to put your "correct" firmware on the phone, I hope.
I have one last question, are you 100% sure that you actually purchased an international MEARET/SEARET phone, and not an HK/TW version of the phone? This is just a thought, since you did say that you were unable to flash any firmware besides the ME865 china HK/TW version... which does bring up that concern.

Jim You are genious, Now with fastboot command i'm in the stage where I was 4 days ago pure stock. The firmware which didnot flashed through RSD , flashed with fastboot commands. But with fastboot commands moto-fastboot.exe flash grfs grfs.img, showed error as failed no such partitions. But even without that i'm now booted in stock Sereat gingerbread firmware. Now I will flash ICS firmware through fastboot and will update if anything goes wrong wrong or write
Thank u:good:
Update whatever I do I get stuck in splash screen or M logo after flashing ICS fxz file or Jb file using any method either fastboot
or RSD even though i'm fully stock now 2.3.6 sereat

Make sure you are getting your FXZ files from a well known good source.
This is the best one:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
Try and flash the ICS one, I think it is this one, that you want:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/6.7.2_EDEM-18-SEARET_cfc.xml.zip
Try it with RSD lite version 6+ ONLY, then if that does not work, try it with the fastboot commands again.
You should not try and flash the p3 files, until you get to ICS first. I think it all has to do with the bootloader versions, and why you can not go from GB to JB. You have to go to ICS then JB, I am pretty sure of that.

Jim no matter what I do i cannot upgrade my firmwawre either to ICS or jellybean, Always stuck Im motrolla splash screen at the last stage of boot. But if i return to gingerbread on both chinese and asian retail(using fastboot or RSD) it's working.I've tried everything. It's out of my mind now.
There is something that is causing my mobile not to boot. If u do have any idea, please help me.
Apart from that I want to know do we have ICS stock kernel in zip format which we can flash?
If other ppl had same problem and solved it pls share with me. This seems something new, softbrick in ICS everytime no matter which region firmware i flash apart from AT&T firmware. I'm trying since 5 days.
Pls reply xda senior member or anyone those in similar case.
