[HOW TO] get your AT&T phone onto ICS Leak #1 - Process Updated 11/11/2012 - Motorola Atrix 2

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.
Files:
ICS OTA:

MD5sum: 7cd5a0896a8be580b5a379dff408d0ad
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?

Towards the bottom of the post there is an addition step to those who are already on 2.3.6. Just copy the files over to the fkz file, then it should work.

You are not 100% stock.... follow my directions, or it will not work... and don't install bootstrap, that is why your logwrap failed verification.

Wow...feel like a complete noob. I've used RSD Lite for my X2 plenty of times with SBF files. Don't know how to use this FXZ file though. Read other threads as well and dont know what to do with this 2.3.5 FXZ file? Been rooted on 2.3.6 for a month or so...still new to this device.

yes, this is made for windows computers and will work. uzip it and run the returntostoxk.bat file it will confirm your phone is connected (you have to be in fastboot mode) and after that just press enter and let it run and complete and youll be back to stock. you have to reroot your phone too, so id just update to the ota 2.6 and then root that, then intall your atrix bootstrap and then the bionic recovery from rom manager. then your ready to flash some roms again.

That was my only guess. I bought it mint from ebay. I'm hoping that is the issue with a bloatwsre getting removed.
Well...so good news and bad news.
This was phone I had purchased from Ebay. I works great. The problem I started with it receiving an update for 2.3.6, but it failed when attempting to update. From what I have read, this could be related bloated getting deleted.
I first attempted to find InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID28 5.zip, but wasn't able to find a working link.
I was pointed to using a .bat file by Rob in this thread. Thanks a bunch Rob. All went well; however, when attempting to perfrom the update to 2.3.6 it now gives me an out of system memory error. It doesn't even start to download the update...odd. It then ask me to factory reset. however, the factory reset then takes me back into a fastboot mode.
Any ideas of next steps? Do I need to attempt finding the original InlineFlashing file? If so, any idea where to find it?
Thanks everyone! I appreciate the help.

Hi Matt -
Would this work if I'm already on 2.3.5 and need to restore back to default or MUST I be on 2.3.6 first? I can't get to 2.3.6 right now due to a failed update.
for that, im not sure. im under the impression that it's fine.
at this point its better that what you got. {i think}
let me search around a little bit and see if i can get a better answer

If you had read the OP, you can't go directly to JB, you have to be on ICS, then flash JB.
Which option did you use from that page? I've used "I997UCLB3-root.rar" many times. But sometimes it gets stuck and I have to pull the usb cable and start over.
So, use I997UCLB3-root.rar, to go back to stock GB. Then flash an ICS rom, reboot. Then flash a JB rom.

Flashing JB is a big leap. Some reading, specially when you are new, could have saved you the trouble. But well, now is time to learn the hard way.
Download any uclb3 back to stock pack, either Odin or heimdall. Put your phone in download mode:
1) take out battery and place it back.
2) while holding vol + & - , connect your phone with a usb cable already inserted into the Pc.
Once in download mode, see if your phone is detected by odin or heimdall. If not you may need to install the drivers.
When all is ready, hit start.
*you probably don't have GB bootloaders. That will cause rainbows in your recovery when flashing ics and jb. If you feel you cant live with them, you will need to flash them.*
To flash jellybean, 1st flash any ics rom following directions coming from GB in the OP. Once you have blue recovery, flash JB with the directions in the rom OP.

As others mentioned, you first need to install an ICS ROM, like CM9 or Uniporn. The first time you flash you will prob get stuck in a boot loop and will need to use the three finger method to get back to recovery. In case you don't know what that means, you hold the volume keys and power button to turn phone on and then release only the power button when the Samsung logo shows. When u get back to recovery, flash the same ROM a second time and then it will boot.
You will now have blue recovery so you can flash the jb ROM of choice by following the method in the OP for that ROM. Remember to pull out the external sdcard if you have one.
Also, as others have mentioned, you may not have GB bootloaders. To get them, go to the "ISET infuse everything thread" which is stickied in the dev section. You will find Odin and Heimdall packages which have the bootloaders there. Be very careful when installing bootloaders (test usb with a kernel or something less dangerous first) bc if it fails while trying to flash the bootloaders, it can hard brick your phone. And then thank bigjoe for putting together the ISET thread so all infuse users can find everything we need in one place.

I think if you don't know what "that" means...it means you have not read anything you probably need to read on this forum. and probably should not even be thinking about JB let alone trying to flash it.
No slight on you benbos_06, I thought it was funny reading uninformed posts about "rainbow colors" in their their recovery a few months ago...now it's almost kind of sad to see the uninformed trying to go JB...and needing double flash and 3 finger to recovery detailed in step by step instructions.

5.after i try again the 3rd step with same results.
can anyone help me?
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.
Although the strange thing is that this shouldn't be happening on the first leak... but it is...
So you're bricked mate.

ok, i will wait.
thanks.
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)

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.

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!

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

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.

OK, so finally I recovered my phone from flashing an unsigned system.img on the 67.21.125 ICS (The second version).
I'll go into detail later but here is what I did:
First, I flashed everything included in my fxz minimal.fastboot files.
Second, I flashed the 2.3.6 boot, system, and webtop partition (DON'T FLASH ANY OTHERS RATHER THAN THE boot,system, and grfs img's or you will hard brick your device).
Third, I entered recovery and applyed the first ICS leak, then it went into fastboot and complained about recovery and cdt so I flashed it from the minimal fxz's. And then I re-applyed the ics leak and then Something unreal happened, it booted :laugh::laugh::laugh:.
Last, I OTA'ed to the .125 leak again and everything was back to %100 normal.
And thats the end of the story, someone can write a tutorial from there .
Cheers!!!

Accually, It is not downgrading to gb but getting ics working again. If you try to boot gb instead of going to recovery, then you would boot loop.
So if your bricked, then this is the solution to fix it.

Well, a few things are not so clear yet - give us a little while to try and come up with a more direct way - or for tcf to put together a guide - but this is my understanding (please correct me or add if necessary, tcf):
He's talking about the minimal fxz package he put together from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912035 (which only has a linux script I believe - but you could flash them one by one through the command prompt in windows - or, we could get a batch file made up also).
Then, the system.img, recovery.img, and grfs.img only from 2.3.6 (found in the 2.3.6 fxz from here or the same are in the leak#1 2.3.6 fxz).
Then he applied the leak#1 ota package.
Got thrown back into fastboot.
Flashed the cdt.bin again from the minimal fxz package (which is actually from ICS leak#2/soak package) -- but not sure if he flashed recovery.img from there again also..
Then he re-applied the leak (#1?) again - and it booted to ICS.
So, I am not sure about the timing of things or how it exactly worked out yet, but I notice the linux script for the minimal fxz package doesn't have a reboot-bootloader before the cdt.bin flash - also there should probably be a pause after the reboot-bootloader lines to allow it to reboot completely before attempting to flash the next file. That may be partial reason for the multiple flashings of the cdt.bin.. but, again, maybe not - maybe it's all in some magical order... though a few of us will be digging a bit deeper into this I'm sure.
Thanks again to tcf38012 for pushing this thought of upgrading back to the leak - we were on that path at one time, but the pieces of the puzzle weren't fitting together..

Thanks for trying to clarify this. It seems like it would be time consuming for me to try since I'm a windows user. I am glad that he did find a way to get some of our soft bricked users back on track.

[Q] A2 - To Upgrade or ROM (I'm on 2.3.6)

I have a rooted A2 (AT&T Branded RUNNING on Straight Talk)
Baseband Version LUD_EDISON_R1D7_PATCH_36_111116_2336
Webtop Version WT-1.3.0-176
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-g98a0a06 [email protected]#1
Build Number 5.5.1-175_EDMR1.25
So, I got this phone a long time ago after breaking (physical damage) my old Samsung Infuse. I had the Infuse (and a Captivate before that) on custom ROMs and enjoyed it.
This phone is only rooted and I deleted some of the bloat-ware from ATT and Moto.
I got a pop-up yesterday to update (67.21.125.en.US - 299MB). However when I downloaded it, and tried to install, it just rebooted, and said install failed. I wen't on Moto's website and downloaded a "fix" (55.13.26.en.US - 57MB) and put it on the SD card. It also failed. From the reading I've been doing, i've found its probably because of deleting the Moto/ATT bloat-ware.
I want ICS (Or Jelly Bean if its available?) but I've read some threads here that it can be a bad idea... I have been looking at some ROMs but I'm still a little nervous because of the locked bootloader.
Should I reflash stock GB and upgrade to OTA ICS or should I just bite the bullet and ROM it with an ICS ROM? (If ICS ROM, which one do you recommend?)

You have to be on ICS to flash ICS or Jelly Bean ROMs. You either have the option of flashing back to stock gingerbread and applying the leak if you want to return to gingerbread at some point, or you can ota and be stuck on ICS permanently.

Thank you very much for the reply!
So no matter what, I have to reflash back to GB. I gotta go find out how to do that now... : \
Is this the HOW TO guild for the leak you'd recommend I use to get to ICS?
Found this in the Noob Thread. However, the 2 links to the FXZ files are no longer available/broken links...
*Ninja Edit* Found this thread, downloading now to try it out.
STEPS:
1) Have the correct Motorola drivers installed for your PC (i.e. x32-bit or x64-bit).
Here is the Motorola Driver site
http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/...D&pubid=987654
2) Download RSD Lite & install on your PC.
Here is the latest version to download (RSD Lite 5.6)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...7&d=1321414457
3) Choose the FXZ file to download
Android 2.3.5 ---- Blur_Version.55.11.16.MB865.ATT.en.US
InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID28 5.zip
4) Make sure you alternatively boot into AP Fastboot mode by powering down (or pulling battery), then press and hold the volume up and down button while powering on.
5) Plug your phone into a back USB port on your computer.
Front USB ports are often unreliable when it comes to power levels. They should not be used for flashing.
6)Run “RSD Lite” on your computer
7)Press the “. . .” button next to the box labeled “Filename”
8)Browse and open the FXZ file or just just drag the FXZ file onto the file path bar in RSD Lite
9)Wait for the program to read the file, then choose “START”
10) Now, the device will slowly flash the FXZ file. BE PATIENT AS THIS MAY TAKE A WHILE!
11) Congratulations! You’ve restored your ATRIX 2!!

That's the correct ICS leak.
The fxz script is much easier to use, just don't use it after you've upgraded. You WILL end up with a hard brick. There's a different fxz here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805975
