Hey everyone,
We are currently trying to figure out exactly why some people are hardbricking when the attempt to flash from ICS to 2.3.5 and why others are perfectly fine... we'd like to hear from all the people that attempted to flash back to 2.3.5. Were you using RSD Lite, or a script (what script)? We would much appreciate it if all of tell us your preferred brick method in the poll above, or if your A2 is still up and running .
Also feel free to reply with extra information about the script or xml file you used in the attempt.
Thanks for your pacience in the matter.

Is there someone out there with a fix for this hard brick issue or is willing to find a fix for this? I'm stuck with this hard brick, many other phones have fix for hard brick, even Atrix 4G with JTAG. Why isn't there a fix for Atrix 2? What is stopping us? I'm not a profesional, I really don't mess with these things like open the phone and solder wires, but if someone manage to unbrick a hard bricked Atrix 2, maybe he/she can let us know how to unbrick it.
Trust me man. The devs are working hard on getting a fix for us. And I am sure that if they find a way to "Un-Brick" the phones affected they will. We will be the first to know.
Remember, this is on their time. Not yours. No offense, but you need to be grateful for the time they are giving us, of their own accord.
For now, try not to hijack the thread and let's stick on topic. Cogeary is just trying to get info to HELP us fix this issue.

You could try and contact someone on this list of RIFF Box - JTAG owners... maybe get lucky, or start a project with someone. It looks like our device could possibly be supported:
RIFF JTAG firmware supports following features at the moment:
ARM7/ARM9/ARM11 PXA3xx, PXA270, Cortex-A8, OMAP850, Cortex-A9 Dual cores support;

Or, check the out the dealers list, and buy a box and learn how... but it'd probably be cheaper to buy a new phone.. (thanks to hankbizzo5 for dropping the link)
p.s. - With all of the bricks dropping around here, someone with the ways and means could/should start up a little company "resurrecting" A2's and Motos... just a thought..
Edit - sorry mtnlion... saw your post after posting my post... ya, let's keep it clean - starting... now!
I bricked using RSDlite v5.6 (good idea chrisel..)
Maybe also include what version of rsd you're using? I know allot are on 5.6 and maybe 5.7 has something to do with it?

Nope I tied both and I can fxz back and forth all day long... so can a few others.
I have used scripts and rsdlite and they both work for me...
Could there possibly be diff versions of the leak downloaded? Maybe that would explain the diff clock speeds?

Not likely... it is probably because those that are overclocked were overclocked at one time or another, and the chips are able to overvolt now, from the OG hack that was done...
Operating system used? Front usb Ports? Rear?

Ok, here we go. I was on the leak, bought and downloaded setcpu, set overclock to 1000, set to start on reboot, rebooted and got stuck on att screen for over 20 minutes. Tried factory reset in recovery and it didn't work. Tried to Fzx back to 2.3.5 using jims patch for rsd. Got stuck on bootloader 5/18 and the phone died.

Not all the FXZ files are exactly the same. darkmixta is on an international released phone, so the fxz for that is different from the AT&T US one, that is why some fxzs have more steps and others have less.

I flashed back to stock this morning to test something and noticed there was a 19Mb update. After updating I rebooted the phone and checked a few more times to make sure there were no more updates. When I went into 'Download' to flash a new rom this is the screen I was presented with. After I chose to enter to Download mode that was the 2nd screen I had. Just thought it was funny and would share.

Removing the download for the bootloaders so people won't try flashing them and brick devices left and right. They were only intended for serious devs who know what they are doing. Sorry.
Could you also upload the whole update package? Thanks for the bootloaders.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Considering that we haven't ever been able to flash dumped BLs from the Rogers ROM, having the update package to look at would be highly beneficial to figure out how to flash the bootloaders.
This is a similar download mode screen to the SGSII - keeping count of how many custom ROMS you run/flash. Keeping in mind if you phone needs to go some where to be serviced there maybe a document of how they can check this counter. A USB JIG cleared this on the SGSII & my jig works fine on my Infuse so I can imagine it will still clear it.

If that's the reason, then that's a REALLY smart way to track if you flash a custom "OS", as Samsung would say.
If it's as simple as using a USB JIG to clear it, then we should be in the clear.
Well i guess this finally gives me a reason to pick one up......

I was curious about this, thanks for the info!
Also in case anyone wants to know, after flashing the leaked GB with this BL the download screen still reports official Samsung Binary as the current.
This is just a short term observation: when I flashed the leaked GB with the old BL I got hard reboots when apps accessed GPS (speed test, maps, co pilot) 1 out of 10 times. With these BL's I am at 18 hours using all of those apps without any reboots. Though it could have just been reflashing that fixed it. I did not use TB or anything to restore app data usher time, both times I went back to stock first.

Hi, everyone, I've recently HARD BRICKED my Samsung Galaxy MODEL: T959V with T-mobile.
First off, I got pattern locked on my phone, yea I know I'm an idiot, LOL. Next I totally forgot my gmail password so I could not log back into my phone.
So then I next decided to flash back to stock with odin 1.7 and T959UVJFD. tar file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1047087.
As a result, my phone would boot to the loading screen with the dashed circle and a battery display in the background and thus would not finish booting all the way.
So I figured I would do more research and found that people would try flashing with the Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...833024&page=49 and after flash back to stock.
After I flashed with the Eugene rom this was when the phone completely died and would not turn on. I tried the take out the battery, holding down and up volume button and plugging into computer method but the computer would not detect it anymore.
Now I don't know what to do. I realized I was flashing with the Galaxy Vibrant kernels with Odin and now, it won't turn on anymore and can't boot into download mode. It is also not being detected my computer when I plug it in. I'ts a blank screen.
Please help.. Thanks, and appreciate it.

Here is the zip file to apply to the 2.3.5 fxz, to make RSDlite flash the FXZ files properly, from the ICS leak. The steps are the same as they were for the 2.3.6 fix. Just unzip these files over top of the original fxz files.

I have pulled these files, so that no else attempts to flash the fxz and brick thier phone. DO NOT ASK FOR THE FILES, I will not give them out knowing what happens to those on ICS that try to fxz back to GB.

How do you think I was able to flash that whole process 4 times... I built this yesterday afternoon, before I even started the process of testing the OTA out. I HAD to make sure we could flash back, so we were not like the OG Atrix guys, who can't flash an SBF now.

the first time it would not boot, because the lbl file and the mbm were not loaded, and it is critical in this move back.... they have done something to the BL, to make flashing a little harder. I did a hex dump and a decompile of the new mbm file and it has a spot in it that looks like a check for correct lbl file being loaded from the fastboot flash.
The issue with the recovery is because it flashes a new recovery, and that was on the second time I had to flash the fxz, due to a bad root...

Did you use my patch to patch the 2.3.5 fxz for the ICS leak that I posted yesterday?

Hi, all I installed was the Twitter and Facebook, the phone via OTA update and has not passed SoftBrick motorola logo and check this post and understand what is SoftBrick and Hardbrick, I want to know if there is any ICS way to restore or repair it, since I can not go back to GB because it can cause HardBrick.

What i meant by giving you that link was if you posted in there it would have been easy for all to have a look at your situation and help you out.
But anyways the problem you are referring to is definitely a strange one.There is a way to get back to ICS Leak1 but that is for AT&T only and is quite cryptic at the moment.If you don't know what you are doing I won't suggest going forward with that.However with a few trials i was able to get back to ICS Leak1.So what can I say try it if you really want.
A script is also available that is supposed to automate the process but hasn't been tested successfully yet.So that i would definitely suggest avoiding.

well thanks, had seen the post, but I did not dare try that solution, I'll look, thanks friend.
If you really wanna unbrick you can try out the manual method i gave the link in the earlier.It has been reported successful a couple of time and I myself was able to unbrick successfuly.So if you want I can help you with that.

Hi everyone,
I have upgraded from my 2.3.6 gingerbread to 4.0.4 and I have installed atrix 2 bootloader just to install CWM, but when it required to reboot, I did reboot my atrix 2 and it never been able to load up the phone. I tried to use RSDLite to flash back to 2.3.6 by using this 1FF-olympus-user-2.3.6-4.5.141-111212-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P012.sbf but it said "Unable to retrieve interface handle".
I have no idea how can I get my Atrix 2 to work again, can you all please help over this issue?
Thanks

Okay so basically you need to flash it back to the 4.0.4 with the fastboot file for 4.0.4 and rsd 6.
Fastboot 4.0.4 file

This is the dev. section, only development post belong here. You should ask in the Q&A section. You're flashing all the wrong things and are working towards a brick. Check the noob thread, it has all the answers you need.

Are you flashing the right firmware for your phone? You have an AT&T one?
And that first sbf file you tried to install is for the original Atrix. You have an MB/ME865 phone?
Sent from my phone's mind
I am not using AT&T one. And yeah I have MB/ME865 one..
