Hello XDA!
So, I made the mistake of making an OTA upgrade to my Atrix 2 and this is where Im at.
Sys Version: 55.28.37.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: 2012-03-28 12:22 Off.Bld LUD_EDISON_R1EP29_TO_422313_001_120328_120
I'm running on Vodafone India (Mumbai)
The Phone now no longer catches any network at some places in the city! It shuffles between Emergency Mode, No Network and the Red Slashed Circle.
Funny thing is, It was fine earlier & I do get network on other operators. And what's even more strange is that if i put my SIM in another phone. (SGS3) Im getting full network!
HELP!!!
i had the exact same problem, but with reboot issues too , i solved it by flashing ics zip, because it comes with its own radio.
i have at&t phone though

Been thru the same issue right from the time I bought my phone.
Vodafone Mumbai has Only 32k type of Sim cards (i know this cos ive directly asked them abt it at the vfne store) which arent compatible with the new update (55.28.37). So ur phone cant catch the network and m guessing ur phone is draining a lot of battery too.
I had to switch to Docomo to get a 64k Sim, which is compatible. (though im still using vfne in another phone )
the moto ppl have told me that ICS is gonna sort this issue, but im not too hopeful of that. So better u get another carrier and get that 64k Sim or don't update and wait for ICS. (u'll have to take ur phone to moto service centre to downgrade it)
I got a new Sim cos I was having problems with batt drain and also cos of the non compatible update.
Edit: I used to barely get 9 - 10hrs with the vfne Sim before the update and a 64k Sim sorted that issue too.

Thanks Guys
Thanks Guys, I think Ill read a bit and flash ICS.
It is extremely frustrating though. Considering that the Phone is Awesome and my Service provider isnt.

Okk, but make sure that your phonell work with the ICS update And that theres a way to get back to GB from ICS, cos u dun wanna get stuck with the leaked ICS and not get the official ICS update OTA.

New Update on the Problem
Firstly,
Thanks for all the help. You guys are awesome.
I realised that the Motorola Service Center was right next to where I work. So I Uncheesecaked, Unbootstrapped & Unrooted my phone and gave it to those guys to see what they do, exactly.
And in 15 minutes, they downgraded my phone to this version which works:
Sys Version: 55.1.27.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: 2012-01-20 19:57 Off.Bld LUD_EDISON_R1E_PATCH_23_120120_1943
Build Number: 5.5.1-EDEM-27
Result: I have network everywhere now. Its working fine. So this is the baseband I need. But that smoothness which the 55.28.37 had is no longer there.
Nevertheless, I can start modding this phone a fresh now.
Needed to confirm one thing though. If i get myself into this problem again. Which radio from the droiddevelopers website should i flash?
519.2 MiB 63EF21A6DF3869329AB6B0A54CD74F8F Retail Asian <- which ArchMag3 recommended?
OR
517.3 MiB F452799D01461D307BD4F0593066B4CF Retail Asian <- or this one?

I had a Defy Plus before this one & Ive checked the Noob guide for the a2 but I wanted to know if flashing these zips via RSD Lite is the same easy procedure ? Is there some GUIDE that gives me a step by step?
Also, If im flashing just the radio, Fastboot flashing is the best way to go right?
And one more thing, Is anyone making a Baseband Switcher like they did with the defy? Or is it just not possible in this phones case?

Vodafone network problem after update
Hello,
i am also facing the similar problem after doing an update, i am from India (Mumbai) having 55.28.37.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03
It would be great if you can explain the steps in more details, as i am confused if i have to unzip the file on computer or on phone, step by step explanation will be more helpful.
my another question was after doing this flash will the warranty be broken ? is this something similar to root the phone. i dont want to break my phone warranty as i have purchased recently just a month back.
Thanks for the help in advance. and awaiting to hear favourable response from you

Tushar Harrison.

Hey, If you're new to flashing stuff just head to one of the service centers and they'll roll it back in half an hour. Easy Peasy. In this way you don't have to worry about your warranty as well.
Though I had rooted my phone, i just unrooted it and took it to them and they couldn't realise that i had voided my warranty.
they'll bring it down to the 5.5.1-EDEM-27 firmware, which is available on the link thats provided in this chain.
Hope it works.

looks like these guys sending the device to NZ for repair.
I got back my A2 today from service center and shocked to see NZ ROM on it.
I will go ahead with SEARET as you confirmed it's working with no issues.
Hey spikywits,
Make sure IMEI number is same, Coz in my case it was not just software update actually they replaced mother board.
after i noticed this immediately went to service center and got new IMEI number in bill, this will be helpful in next service.

hello
well to make it short i bought the atrix 2 from the US early when it came out and then i came to Dubai and all the annoying bloatware for AT&T have became more annoying by (NOT WORKING) when i was leaving i called them and they gave me the unlock code so im using the phone in Dubai, UAE and its working great, im on Victory Rom (Best rom ever) clean and elegant.
---------
now i found there is official ICS firmware for UAE Retails and it has the same number as my phone MB865 so my question is: can i flash that firmware to my AT&T phone ? and incase that is not possible, if i want a clean ICS ROM (made from the official OTA update not the leak) where i can find it ? and lastly if all is not possible what is the cleanest quickest and best ROM and will it work if i update to OTA ICS ?
sorry for taking too long and Thanks in advance
----------
that was what i wrote earlier but now i tried to do OTA and the phone stuck on the dual core technology screen so im thinking to Fxz but i dont know if i should do it for GB 2.3.6 or ICS ?
thanks a lot

To be very honest with you and AFAIK no one had tried to fxz to ICS from GB.but in theory it should work.
But this is what I'll suggest fxz to 2.3.6 and try OTAing.it should take you to ICS directly.

Ok so get this very clear if you phone it's AT&T one(it has AT&T written on the bottom) then you can't flash any other firmware.your only option is the AT&T firmware( from here).
And there are lots of ROMs that you can try.
StockyEd is pure OTA version of ICS.
Others are Numa, swifty trix ,scv7.Also we have CM10.

Hey,
Can I flash a Canadian Fido model with the French SFR ROM? It's not a US Droid, so I'm assuming the bootloader is unlocked?
It looks like the Euro model is getting quicker firmware upgrades (they got JB late November, whilst the Canadian model is pending for Q1 2013), so I would prefer to be on that ROM!

Your bootloader is locked, but can be unlocked. I wouldn't recommend going to European firmware though since I've been seeing a lot LTE issues when users switch off of the Rogers ROM. What's another month (or 2-3 weeks) anyways? You might end up spending a lot of time getting your phone to function just how it did on the Rogers firmware.

Hey,
I'm actually based in the UK, but thinking of picking up a Fido RAZR HD because they are much cheaper over there!
We have only one LTE network at the moment, and I'm not on it I'd prefer to have JB and HSPA+ if possible!
I've just come across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35085808
Looks like the Australian ROM is using the new(er) version of JB?!
Thanks,

JB "should" be out at the end of January for our phone claims Rogers. I would at least wait till Feb 1St b4 tinkering

I flashed the Fido Razr HD using an Australian JellyBean sbf with the Rogers modem_signed and fsg_signed files from ICS. Works a beaut, not sure which rom you would use the files for to get it working in the UK though. The Australian rom had minimal bloat and I didn't feel like waiting a month for Rogers/Fido to release JB.
Does the Rogers/Fido ROM have a lot of crapware in it?
Not too much... Nothing compared to Verizon! I saw like 7 or 8 bloatware applications when I first got my phone and was able to disable all of the apps I.don't use. Heck, they didn't even pre-load an ebook software!

I got them from the Fido/Rogers ICS rom. I opened the JellyBean rom with 7-zip and dragged and dropped the files along with an xml file found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2054906
I missed a step when doing it and missed putting the fsg file in there and was without LTE, I was then able to use a fastboot script to flash it after. I have attached the script and fsg file. The modem file can be found in the referenced thread. You also need to have an unlocked bootloader.
I'm fairly certain we are able to SBF to the Rogers/Fido JB when it comes out safely. I would not SBF to a prior firmware like ICS myself....and why would you want to?

But when they sold me my phone it was apparently a Fido/Rogers verison, and i had to return the phone, then i got my new one i never hit SIM CONFIGURATION when it booted and now my rom is completely stock from factory, no crapware whatsoever! not even a fido boot screen.

If I ever had a defect; I would return it to Fido anyways...they have no idea if it's been unlocked nor would they care to check.
Just a little warning for you ...
if you use a rogers/fido on UK :
you can flash any firmware with any radio file ... but YOU NEVER GET LTE ( NOT SAME BAND IT S HARDWARE NOT SOFTWARE )... and Rogers/Fido phone don't have dual carrier chip (42mbits)... only hspa+ chip (21 mbits)
if i have the choice i prefer pay 50 $ more to get lte or dc hspa ...

Hmm, well I assumed there would be physical hardware differences, but got different info from another thread:
EdwardN said:
Not exactly true. The XT925 firmware is what determines which radios are active. Having 700/800/1700/1800/2100/2600 all active at the same time would drain the battery like woah. Currently you can merge the radio you need into the rom you want to use, and make it work that way.

i checked the south american motorola website and ics4 was released in september 2012 to only certain carrier :good:. so it's very unlikely that i will be going to south america and pick the right carrier just to update my phone.
question now is, is there a safe way that i can update to ics4 without screwing up my phone and if YES, pls can you show me how. much appreciated to everyone who can assist, cheers.

Go to settings...About phone. Scroll down past legal info and take a screenshot and post it here.
Well, there are 2 "retail south america "meixico" firmwares that you could try and flash and I am pretty sure these are not ICS though, just the standard 2.3.5/6.
IUSAcell network:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/5.5.1-EDL-32-IUSACELL-MX_cfc.xml.zip
UNefon network:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/5.5.1-EDL-32-UNEFON-MX_cfc.xml.zip
Again, sorry to say that these are NOT ICS, but you might be able to flash them and check again for an update, just in-case your firmware is NOT 100% standard/stock. Checking for updates on a non-stock/100% standard rom tends to not find the updates.
And there also may not be another way to get the ICS update if youre not on the network that the phone was originally meant for, since it would be theirs and motorola's joint firmware on a server connected to that cell network (usually).
And Since we do not have the firmware on this site, you really do not have too many other options.
This is the site with all the MB865 atrix2 firmwares:

Those ^^ can be flashed with RSD lite, look at this thread here, to get all the info:

You can take a screenshot by pressing the power button, and volume down button at the same time. Hold it for a second then release it. I wouldn't worry about the screenshot though. I would follow Jim's advice on this one.

That's for ICS and up. Try any app from play store. Like " No root screenshot it"
life!

Well where you live does not mean it is the right firmware for that phone....
What firmware was it running before? Does it have the ATT logo at the bottom front of the phone? Where did you buy the phone from? Was it purchased used?
Have you tried a factory reset?
Could this possibly be an HK version phone?
Maybe try flashing the FXZ again, if a factory reset does not help.

So did it work the third time, or not?
If not, do you have a warranty? If not then I would see about what options you have from the shop you bought it from. How long ago did you buy it? If it is within the last year, you should have a motorola warranty, but you will be given another phone like an atrixHD instead of the Atrix2 at this point, since it is not being made anymore, and all the "replacements" have been exhausted at this point. The other option is to find one used that has a broken screen and just move your screen and digitizer to that phone (since it will have a new board in it), as you may have some hardware issue, or the phone is just starting to go bad... The odd thing is that this only occurred after an fxz, so that is very odd.

Try re-downloading the ICS firmware of your region.
