I am having the same problem with Contacts and with process com.motorola.contacts force closing that many others are having. I had rooted as well as uninstalled bloatware (instead of freezing, yes, I know!). Tried unrooting, reinstalling Yahoo and AT&T apps as suggested, factory resets, everything. Contacts still acts the same; that is, I can get to it but can't edit individual contacts nor get to Contacts Storage. I think it must have something to do with AT&T Address Book, which won't reinstall (says not supported but was there before).
At this point I just want to return Atrix 2 to its stock, 2.3.6 configuration and start all over. Can anyone help me, or is that not "out" yet?
Follow the instructions on flashing the 2.3.5 FXZ listed here (the beginner's guide) and then use the OTA update to get to 2.3.6. Next time make a CWM backup before you try any ROMs! It is inevitable that you'll eventually get stuck in some sort of boot loop.

I will try that. It looks pretty complicated...I'll be studying for awhile!
It's not hard at all! Just follow the instructions listed EXACTLY and make sure that your battery is well charged before you do this -- if it dies during the middle of something like this, you could run into a tricky problem.

It's alot easier than it sounds....and im no pro. I was able to successfully flash 2.3.5 to mine that way the first time around following the instructions in the noob thread.
Atrix 2//RebelROM//Tapatalk 2
so let me get this straight....
I had 2.3.5 rooted. I accepted the OTA update to 2.3.6, so naturally, it un-rooted me, although the superuser is still there. I tried the one click method for 2.3.6 after it came out, as I am a total NOOB and was afraid to try it and screw things up. That doesn't work. I tried to unroot it using the same method. Also didn't work. The superuser is still there and denying permissions.
Soooooooo, I have decided to do the FXZ method in the in the noob/general forum. I'm still unclear and afraid about how to do it. Am I supposed to go through the first 11 steps, then do the "replace" step that is added as a note? Speaking of the added note. It says to "move all the the items in it to the stock fxz". The "stock FXZ" is what i downloaded and did in step 1-11, right? I have searched the forums and this was the best place I could see to ask. Sorry for my extreme NOOBness.
Thanks in advance for helping, or just taking the timpe to read my post!

Unzip the stock fxz and copy the extra files into it. Accept any error it may give you. The open rsd and click the "..." Button and find the fxc that you modified and then hook your phone up in Detroit and hit the start button. Should be golden after
Running AtrixBlaze 3 on my Atrix 2.

Downloading FXZ as we speak. i will give an update as soon as I try it out! Thanks again.
IT WORKED!!!!
As the title states, it worked. I downloaded the fxz, replaced the files, ran it, the re-rooted after everything came back up. Then I did the OTA rootkeeper procedure and now I am about to takt the ota. Will let you know if anything goes wrong after that. Thanks again for all the help and encouragement.

I just wanted to be sure that I wouldn't lose root again if I ever get another ota. If the motto fail incorporates that, I wasn't aware.
NOTE: this is from 2.3.6 to stock 2.3.5. NOTHING RELATED TO ICS DOWNGRADE.
I hope my experience on reverting back to stock 2.3.5/2.3.6 can help other people with similar problem.
I was running Romulus V2.0 (Android 2.3.6). I wanted to update to Leaked ICS or prepare for future ICS official update. So I need to revert back to stock 2.3.6.
The method Jim suggested is (1) FXZ to 2.3.5. (2) OTA to 2.3.6. But when I use RSD to flash 2.3.5 FXZ (precisely following the beginner's guide, download InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285.zip and replace files in "replace.zip"), I get "Invalid CG version". My next try is to follow the guide in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493386, and my phone is alive again. However, I cannot do a factory reset, so I still cannot go back to stock 2.3.6.
After a lot of searching, I was able to find another "replacement package". Its linke is http://www.mediafire.com/?3bs8ovqteawab02, named "replaceFilesInFXZ.zip". I replaced files in InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285.zip with files in this package. My phone boots without problem and is on stock 2.3.5. I also have OTAed to 2.3.6.
I think this could be helpful for those that want to revert back to stock 2.3.5/2.3.6, and be able to update to ICS. If you are on 2.3.6, I think it is safe to take a try, since there is no hard brick problem as long as you do not flash ICS leak.
---------------------------
I was thinking why some people can FXZ 2.3.5 following the beginner's guide but some people cannot. One possible case could be (please correct me if I am wrong):
I was on stock 2.3.5, but has never OTAed to 2.3.6. I was always using bootstrap recovery to flash other's customized 2.3.6 rom. Therefore, some files such as CDT.bin, boot.img, recovery.img, device_tree.bin and lbl was never updated to 2.3.6 version.
When I follow the beginner's guide, I think this guide assumes that everyone has ever OTAed to 2.3.6 before. So some inconsistency happens.

Did you update to ICS or not? That does not appear to mentioned at all in your post... It just says that you are on 2.3.6 and not ICS... that really does not help all here if that is the case... those bricking have ALL installed the AT&T ICS leak, and tried to fxz back to 2.3.5...
So.... I am sure that what you mention does not really do any good since you appear to NEVER have installed the OTA ICS leak for AT&T, this really does not help...

No, I was just to help people that running 2.3.6 to go back to stock 2.3.5 (There are people that have the same issue as mine). Nothing related to currently leaked ICS.

In fact, this is REALLY not the same thing as the sticky one!!!!! Especially the beginner's guide.
People have problem reverting back, that's why there is a post also sticked "2.3.6 from modified 2.3.5 Flashboot: "Invalid CG Version" FIX"
But these people will want to go back to full stock 2.3.5 with the ability to do OTA and recovery.
That's the reason I post this.

Dude, The invalid cg fix is the sticky, and it works perfect for this issue. Again this phone has been out over 10 months now, and we have seen it all. Please just sit back and watch things around here for a while before you jump in and just muddy the waters... it is already hard enough to keep people from doing stupid things, that we are expected to fix.

Sorry if I muddy the waters... and I appreciate what you have done for us, really.
But the method in sticky posts really does not help me to revert back to stock 2.3.5, I INDEED have read all posts/replies one by one. The method I posted actually worked for me to go back to stock 2.3.5, so I wanted to share it.
So we know that the ics ota is is coming soon. In on stock rooted 2.3.6. I know you don't have to uproot to do it, but I did (for some reason) install bootstrap and bootstrapped my recovery. Is there anything I need to do with that before the ota or is that good to leave as well since it's not actually flashed? If so could you tell me or link me to a guide? (Sorry if this has been asked couldn't find anything on it)

Your best bet is to fxz to a full 100% stock load before any OTA. We already have root so losing root is only for during the update, I know it does not check for root, but it is safer to just be 100% stock off of the fxz.
If you are on the ICS leak, I have several people testing the fix I have made and I am hopeful to have it released to everyone in the next couple of days.

I'm not worried about root, but man last time I attempted an fxz I got extremely confused and ended up just exchanging my phone... Well shoot. I believe most phones can do OTA's with root, just not sure about that whole bootstrap and I still have all the stock (non-uninstallable) at&crap apps.

You HAVE to remove bootstrap, the log wrapper link in /system/bin and also remove the hijack file in /system/bin and move logwrapper.bin to logwrapper also in /system/bin. All of this can be done from root explorer. Then reboot. If not done correctly you will bootloop. The fxz is way easier and I have a scripted version that does not require rsdlite.

You have no ignorance, no worries... questions are what this place is for and so you can learn.
Yes I have script for both 2.3.6 and another for ICS.
Not sure if you will have the cg error or not. Usually you get that from flashing the incorrect fxz. If you tell me which version of the phone you have and your correct location, I might be able to put a "special" one together for.
Or if you bought an att phone but live in India then you might have to flash the att fxz and then give cogeary's international rom a try.

Hey guys, got a question here. I just got my infinity, so i haven't gone into rooting it yet, and have received the option to upgrade firmware. I'm. A bit scared cause ive read people got theirs bricked following an upgrade. Is this possible?? Or was it happening to rooted users only?? How safe is it to upgrade to JB with a full stock infinity??
Example of what I mean: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...pdate-brick-anyone-elses-infinity-tablet.html
Seen it somewhere on xda too
Thanks for the help!
Pd: don't have time right now to get into rooting it ( i will later on), so I'd appreciate if we could skip the " just root" suggestion, thanks!
not sure why you think we care if you root or not.
just run the update and be happy.

First, check to see what's the current build version on your tab, if it's .26, then you need to do nvflash backup your bootloader (very important), will get back to this later. If you have version .30 you just go ahead and update to Jelly Bean. Just for your information, once you're on Jelly bean and if you want to root, you need to downgrade back to .30, root it then upgrade back to Jelly bean. OR you could UNLOCK your device (this will void your warantty) while on Jelly Bean, then root it. Read this carefully and make your decision.

Exactly.
No problems updating from a rooted device here.
I lost root, but I didn't care.
No reason to fool with all the rooting stuff if you just want to use the tablet.

I thought if you do have .26 then you are a very lucky man. You could able to backup your bootloader and make your device brick safe.

Just use the 2.3.6 FXZ through RSD lite. If you want good webtop then stay at 2.3.6, because webtop 3.0 is more like tablet mode and not ubuntu anymore.
Here is a link to get the 2.3.6 fxz:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.25_cfc_p3_APBP.xml.zip
All of the FXZ files are here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
If you really want to try ICS, then I would go for leak one from 2.3.6 just do not root or install anything while in 2.3.6.
Here are the instructions for that. Again though ICS does not have ubuntu for webtop, it is just android in tablet mode:

If you like the ubuntu webtop and want to stay on 2.3.6, my hack works really well for unlocking the full potential of ubuntu webtop, that is here:

What do you mean you replaced the boot image? please give me a link to the thread you go that from... that is quite disturbing.
What I need you to do is to flash the 2.3.6 fxz file with RSD lite, and watch each step and make sure you get a PASS at the end, if not you might be failing in one of the steps, I think there are like 18 steps or something in the AT&T FXZ. I really need to know which step it is failing on, it should be something like step 3/18 or something like that... I really need to know that or if it goes all the way to the end and say PASS.
If you can grab a screen shot of the error or PASS that might also help as well.

Yeah not the best idea. That ONLY should apply to NON-ATT phones, all you just did was put the 2.3.5 boot image on the 2.3.6 bad flash, you are still not whole. You may not be able to get this all right, after doing that, not easily at least... those instructions were out WAY before we had an official 2.3.6 FXZ, which is what you should be using.
I still need to know where RSD is failing, that is crucial to know what is happening.
From here on, if you want my help, DO NOT do anything unless I ask you to please!!! I am one the devs on this phone and our resident expert here. I am very meticulous, but I will get you back but you need to take this one step at a time, and do only what I ask and report back.

Yeah unfortunately you are screwed, sorry to say. The white LED means it is dead, no bringing it back. That is why I was trying to figure where things were going wrong, rather than having you risk further issues.
You might be able to find an atrix2 with a broken screen cheap on ebay and just put the good motherboard from that in your phone, and get yourself back up and running, I have seen them for 50-100 USD on ebay. There are instructions on how to replace the screen in the general section.

Well, they will most likely send it back to you with a referb, and it WILL have the stock ICS on it, and you will NOT be able to get back on GB and use the ubuntu webtop.

well i know ...
i hate ics....the design is so poor.... GB much better style
may be as softaware some improvements but the style sucks....
not to talk about the webtop feature thats the only reason that push me to buy an atrix instead of a galaxy...
i only hope you guys will find a way to crack the bootloader....
thanx
Hello, I am sorry if I am hijacking this thread but that is not my intention. I have a similar situation here that I need help with. I just bought a used Atrix 2 yesterday and I am unable to use that.
It is running the following:
Android Version: 2.3.5
System Version: 55.11.11.MB865.ATT.en.US
Build Number: 5.5.1-175_EDFFW1-11
It was in factory reset after mode so i followed the instruction to register with google and my gmail added. But when go to contacts, it keep rotating to open AT&T address book and never comes out of it. So I cannot use my google contacts and has to dial the numbers every time (sucks). Secondly, I called AT&T about the address book problem and was told that is not their problem and asked me to update the Android. I tried updating endlessly but the phone always says 'The software is upto date and no update is necessary!" really?
I called at&t again w/o much success. Then I called Motorola and was told that the phone is running a strange unofficial (really, again?) android version that they cannot help either.
I did confirm the phone is not rooted.
Now, I have a beautiful looking phone that i cannot use. I am not familiar with rooting and all sorta things and can you please help me so i can use this phone?
Thanks a ton.
