The ROM's you are trying to download were hosted on Megaupload which was shutdown yesterday by the US government for piracy.

downloading roms
Hello fellow andorid user you should download rom manager to your device and see if there are any roms for your device. ps what device do you have i would be more than happy to help you find a nice rom and kernal for your phone if there are any good ones for it let me know.
ps you should be able to find roms for your phone right here on xda as well and or goole it
if it helps please hit thanks or buy me a pepsi

Use Rom Manager or Rom Crawler. I use both just because one doesn't have what the other has.
And if you don't want to download it from there. Try finding a mirror. I'm positive someone has it.

I love that site, its a shame lol. I agree, best and widest sources for roms are forums such as xda

So are they gonna re upload roms or anything and use a new site?

Know your Atrix 2

Ok, there have been lots of threads lately on things that A2 can/cant do. And also how to? Why isnt? questions. In this thread i will try to explain few things, to the new to A2 and new to the community members.
1. Memory cards:
This must have been the most discussed topic on the forums, our beloved Atrix 2 has issues with class 10 memory cards, period. Few people are trying to resolve the issue with work arounds, but none seems to be successful.
(need to know what this class is all about? refer this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating)
2. Bootloader:
The bootloader is locked. If you want to know what bootloader is then refer to the noobs guide here (this should be the first thing that you should do after signing up with xda)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650
and what does a locked bootloader mean to us noobs? it means no custom kernels which means no CM9/10, MIUI ports. So please dont ask for them.
Jimmy273 and Jimbridgman, the great grand dad of all A2's development are working on unlocking the bootloader, you can follow their work here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328714
and my piece of advice just follow dont ask for ETA.
3. Official ICS OTA:
Well all the info the devs here have at the moment is exactly what you have, Q3 of 2012. If you have any further info you are welcome to share it. But there are already threads on "Motorola has updated their site reg ics updates" post there.
4. Miscellaneous:
If you have any doubts about changing certain settings, do the old school thing, refer to the users manual. Then refer the "Get Help" section in the motorola website.
go to the motorola mobility's website of your country, find your mobile then get into the get help section, look into faqs.
EA Games: As part of their Atrix 2 promotion campaign, Motorola India is offering 10 EA games for free, you need to download Redemption app from the market. And after that you can select 10 EA games from the listed games. Remember you still need to download game data for the games, which varies from 15mb to 500mb depending on the game title. And if you are not happy with the 2GB memory card then, it would be safe to get a new memory card then download the games and game data.
5. ICS leaks :
My piece of advice: Take a look at my signature which says "still on GB" despite all the temptations and all the leaks, i didnt flash any of the leaks. Why? simply because i know i may get into trouble, with my limited knowledge. If you are also a noob like me, hold your temptation for a little more time, the people who have flashed the leaks say its very stable, so official OTA may not be that far.
Still interested? Ok, if you are using AT&T A2 then please stay away from the leaks at least until some one finds a way with the back to 2.3.5 as some members have reported hard bricks trying to that exact thing. Need to know some more info, follow this thread. Thanks to farshaad for the heads up..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29011591
First of all there two versions of A2 with some hardware differences, MB865 and ME865, determine which one you have, check you device settings to know that. And those who are on SEARET or MEARET, you may be safe with the procedures discussed in these threads.. still only proceed if you know what you are playing with.. cause "help me i am stuck at a triangle logo with exclamation mark.." clearly tells that you havent followed the guide. Which makes the devs, a little frustrated.. any ways these are the threads..

That noob's guide is essentially for those who are willing to tweak their mobiles like rooting and flashing the roms, this will be helpful for all those who are after basic information, like settings, hidden features etc.. and hope all of these will be posted here so that we know what to expect thus minimizing our frustration.

May I suggest that you add to OP the ICS leak warnings. Just a bullet on the flash back issue.
I know there's threads out there but ......

I'm all for helping out however I am able, and am far more apt to do so when I don't feel the urge to embed my mouse in my monitor with my best "Nolan Ryan Fastball" because of having to scroll through umpteen friggin' new posts with questions that have already been asked/answered.

What is the exact name of the redemption app you mentioned? Is it for India only? I don't see it at all on the playstore....

This belongs in Q&A not general, for future reference. I have reported this to the MODS, so they can move it.

if you're planning to flash jellybean then you need the boostrap from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19355021 , with that installed, go to dev section of the forum and d/l a custom rom and flash following steps in the op , remember always to make a backup of your current rom
sent from the gray stuff inside my skull

There are only two roms based on JB. And both have a guide to install.

Any links for some good n stable roms are appriciated.. Kindly help

So, you're not "lazy", just apprehensive. There's nothing wrong with that. However, what we do here on xda isn't to spend time explaining all the pros vs/ cons to all ROMs available, nor is it anyone's assertion as to what the "best" ROM may be -as this is all very subjective to the individual. There's a hefty ROM list of threads in the development section, so it's your responsibility to read over each one (that may strike you as interesting) and make your own assessment to which you may choose.
Also, each ROM thread by our dev team has explicitly detailed installation instructions, so there should be no reason as to why you would run into trouble -so long as you read, re-read, and fully understand what you're getting yourself into.
Also, there's a handy little help thread that I started for any and all questions, problems, etc. So, if you happen to run into anything, feel free to post there. Myself and a few others maintain that thread, so you should expect an answer without the need of posting a new thread each time you have a problem.

Good roms

What is the best full functioning custom Rom for desire s? I currently have cm7.2, but it's got problems with the Wi-Fi, it's good, but it's boring I would like an Android 4 based rom like cm10.1, but yet again that has bugs, I looked into the pac man rom looks great wanted it, but download was corrupted couldn't find another file for the desire s
Please help me find a good rom that's as great as stock but better and stable. Would like a jellybean look.

Hi, old quote from a mod.....
"Best" ROM/kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.
ps: pacman link is there, search..

Sorry for butting in, as @jmcclue said there are links in the PAC thread (mirrors) to the ROM. The link in the first post is corrupted (well, just not working when trying to flash). I think on page 180 or so of the thread there are alternate links that work.
Just as I downloaded that one and it worked fine. Even (fingers crossed) the random reboot problem I was getting initially has stopped!
I've moved from this, to CM10.2, to Carbon, back to this. It's such an amazing sturdy ROM (battery life). Ok, I've yet to tinker with the performance issues (slight lag...but doesn't impede progress or detract from it overall).
I suppose as an aside I tried the CM11 nightlies and was getting the Status 7 when trying to install. But I'm guessing that's just a recovery issue (I hope). Found a 'cheat' video where you can edit a file in the rom to bypass recovery checks...but not advisable.
Going to continue to use PAC and wait patiently for an update.

Thank you, I have been looking around I did eventually find the link earlier today for the pacRom file that works, I did't think that there was another download link until I went to the end of the thread, the very end and people had posted saying it was corrupted and people were referring to use a link previously posted, now I know that people have put links in threads I will look harder and think better. I have the rom now, yet to flash it though, hope it works out fine. I hate being new to things this is the first forum I signed up too, still getting used to the rules I will eventually get the hang of it been told off for posting to many threads searching more now. Well thanks again.

No harm done. Another little tip for ya, if u want a rom, and the op download links r down then at the top of the page ul see a box "search this thread" type mirror and then press search, usually (if there is a mirror) ul find easy.

Ruu developer edition unconfirmed

THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED TO BE WORKING SO FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.​I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS CAUSES YOUR PHONE TO CATCH FIRE, STOP WORKING, OR TRANSFORM INTO A ROBOT
PLEASE LET ME KNOW OF THE ERRORS THAT YOU ENCOUNTER ALONG YOUR WAY TO FLASHING. THIS IS A BRIGHTSTAR RUU.
MOD EDIT - INFORMATION REMOVED

hey bud, we appreciate new stuff and thank you very much for your contributions. On the other hand this type of stuff should be tested by yourself then released. I know this is just an RUU but still in all promoting flashing this can cause ill effects like partition resizing. this Ruu can also be obtained at http://www.htcdev.com/
thank you very much for your hard work.

Although XDA appreciates breaking new grounds in development and those who would wish to help contribute to development, unconfirmed methods of firmware flashing should never be posted unless confirmed and tested.
