** WARNING: Using apps such as this and custom ROMs can cause damage to your phone if used unwisely. DON'T BLAME ME. **
Some of you may have heard about Safestrap on other locked Motorola devices. After some reworking of the process due to a very small preinstall partition, I am proud to present:
Safestrap for Atrix 2 (v2.11)
This version of Safestrap requires that you be on the Motorola ICS leak.
What is Safestrap?
In short: it's a bootstrap / recovery alternative which provides a fairly safe way of flashing ROMs to your device without destroying the main /system partition (and you ability to get back into recovery). Instead, the ROM is flashed to your webtop partition (which is now useless) and treated like your main /system when Safe System is active.
** You will not be able to flash ROMs till Safe system as turned on under the "safe" menu near the bottom. After using the "Toggle" menu item you will need to wipe data and install a new ROM (2nd system is empty to start)
It's based on CWRecovery so the interface is similar.
I have a basic "How to Safestrap" on my blog:
http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/
Why Safestrap?
- Its safe(r) that standard bootstraps which will overwrite your /system
- It supports 2nd-init ROMs by keeping rootfs files in the ROM's /system/etc/rootfs folder (these are copied into the ramdisk during 2nd-init)
- It also supports kexec ROMs if the correct files are in the ROM's /system/etc/kexec folder. (I have these files and plan on testing a kexec Atrix 2 kernel as time permits)
Requirements:
- Rooted + Superuser
- Remove any bootstrap/recovery that you are currently using.
- Double check that you have a functional busybox installed by downloading "busybox" from the market and running the update.
- Download the APK from here and install:
(Temporarily using dropbox)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/41149741/Atrix2/Atrix2Safestrap-ICS-2.11.apk
- Once installed and opened, click agree
- Use the "Install Recovery" button
All done.
Now every time you reboot you will see a Safestrap splash screen for 6-8 seconds. During this splash screen use the menu button to enter recovery.
Enjoy and play it safe.
PS: Thanks jimbridgman for testing

When I enable safe system and try and reboot it goes back to the safestrap screen then reboots.

It was a restore of SCv7, but I tried to restore it again and it failed. I probably just missed it the first time. Its probably because I already have a second system installed on my webtop partition. I'll reinstall bootmenu and format it and try again.

+1...had same issue. I just disabled safe again and it booted back up fine. Odd though cuz I'm pretty sure I dont have anything on my 2nd as you spoke of. Maybe because it's a restore. I'm on SCV7 as well. Maybe rdavisct will know why/what to do.

Edit: it sure is. I uninstalled app but it was still in system>preinstalled>bootmenu and also theres somthing about recovery and recovery update. Agaib though...Idk if these should be erased and if it will even work. Maybe should wait and see what the OP says or rdavisct.

You could make a backup using safestrap because bootmenu has to be removed first. That should restore just fine.

Though now there are little or no safe strap compatible roms
But the advantage I feel about it is that ur first rom remains untouched
Even if there are errors in update script (like that in mini rom though it doesn't boot in this donno why) but yes whatever happens safe strap gets never erased so no problems of fxz (pls correct me if I am wrong )

1. We should be able to flash large zips now.
2. Kexec. Once that all gets sorted out we can actually have real custom roms (cm9/10, miui, and aokp) without unlocking the bootloader.

So I just actually tried uninstalling bootmenu app and all files relating to bootmenu or recovery in system (to make sure no trace of bootstrap was installed) installed the safebootstrap, rebooted, again tried enabling safestrap and got same bootloop issue after enabling. So I again just went back in and disabled saftey. Must be somthing to do with SCV7 being a restore? Not sure as I'm pretty sure I did everything to a T. I'll stick back with bootmenu I guess till this issue is resolved. I do still appreciate and thank you for the work being done here though. This should be the ticket to be able to flash larger zips/ROMs now on the ICS leak.

Hey Motorola Atrix 2sers!
You guys have a great device! I have a Samsung Infuse 4G but I'm working with my Dad's Motorola Atrix 2 on AT&T and he's running the newest official release of Gingerbread 2.3.6 from AT&T (OTA as I believed its called)
I just rooted it today using the one click method and I attained root completely fine. Superuser and a few other root-only apps work perfectly.
Now my Dad wants ICS on it and I have a few questions:
1) I can't find the ICS ROM leak though I've seen it mentioned multiple times. Can someone redirect me please?
I found a version of CM9 here (actually, it looks just like what I'm running on my Infuse) but I don't know if it's legit. (http://droidsans.com/node/80867) This link came from a thread started in the Development section in the forum here for this device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781177)
I'd prefer the official leak I keep seeing mentioned to this sketchier CM9 but I'd be fine using CM9 if it's verified to run smoothly. I need a ROM that is as functional for day to day use as possible; I am not, nor will I pretend to be, a developer (And by the way, I'd like to take this as a moment to thank all the developers that make these projects and modifications a reality. You guys rock)
2) I ran into a problem getting Clockwork as the recovery mode. I used a method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346977) involving installing an app called Atrix 2 Bootstrapper and simply selecting the reboot recovery option while running the app. When I selected that option, the phone just rebooted normally.
From searching around, I think this has to do with the bootloader being locked, but I can only find a way to unlock the bootloader for the atrix 4G, and I don't wanna risk bricking since I'm working with the Atrix 2. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871&highlight=automatic) Will this 4G method work?
3) Would I be OK just flashing this version of ICS (or any, ROM for that matter) onto the device through the stock Recovery mode? If I use the volume up/down & power button method, enter recovery, and press up/down volume again, I'm able to enter a form of Recovery that appears similar to Clockwork. Is this okay to use for flashing any ROM onto the device?
4) Would I need to flash the Google apps as well? Play store, maps...etx...If so, where could I find a package for them?
I realize it's a lot of super specific questions, and I apologize if they've been answered, but I've combed every relevant thread I could find.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
1) Stay on 2.3.6 for now since we can't go back from ICS.

He really wants ICS, the question of going back isn't really an issue. But wouldn't I be able to return to stock with an FXZ (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650&highlight=clockwork+recovery) anyway?
Regarding the Bootstrapper: No, it did not work just fine. I tried it multiple times, but each time I selected "reboot recovery" it would just reboot normally.

FXZ from ICS to GB will have a 99% chance of bricking. So if you mess up your are stuck.
CWM is best, check the development thread for CWM on boot thread.

Yeah, I have him using Screenshot ER Demo (he only uses free apps), but I expect he'll complain about the watermark. I personally think that app is perfect!
Couldn't find scv6, I found scv7, but that's ICS, isn't it? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591790&highlight=scv6)
And doesn't this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606257) boot you into CWM on EVERY reboot? Don't I need to be able to normal boot, too?
I'm sorry if I'm dragging this out, I just want to be really thorough and I'm not experienced. I cannot thank you enough.
It will boot into recovery just select reboot and it will boot normally.

I thank you both so much, I'll consult with my Dad to give him his options (but I think he'll want Romulus), and I'll post back here when I'm done flashing to let you guys know! Both ROMs (scv6 and Romulus) provide the hotspot and toggles right?
I hope the CWM procedure is simpler than it looks. Looks dauntingly involved...

Yes they both do. But Romulus is Odexed and SCv6 is Deodexed.

Are you sure your Dad's phone is an MB865, and not an ME865?
If it is an ME865 that might be why it is not working... most of the things in here have really been setup or tested on the MB865 for AT&T USA models, somethings work on other versions of the A2 but not everything.

I'm absolutely certain my Dad's phone is the Motorola Atrix 2 on AT&T and I live in the U.S.

In the installation notes it says do a factory reset when it boots in to recovery... so, it's apparently supposed to boot in to recovery.. I just didn't want to wipe my data today :\
Is meant to reboot into cwm recovery. But because of the way the device is hacked is rebooting into the stock recovery. Simply leave the recovery and relaunch into the cwm recovery of your choice.
The previous cheesecake app only function for one device. It was not properly adjusting the settings. This app uses a device recognition system to properly remount the partition and create the proper files.

I might be mistaken, but the version for GB would just simply check the MOTO servers for an update. That way maybe we could catch a unlocked BL.

Keep the downloaded OTA on your /sdcard, but DO NOT INSTALL it! There is some dev work being done on the newest "leak", and I can tell you, things have changed. Avoid complications, and just sit back and hold tight to the OTA you found until we (erm... the devs) have tested this, and can get us back to stock.

Don't install this leak!!! I am warning you, you can not fxz at all after this one. just go install the first leak that is posted in the general section, we have a way to fxz with that one still.

Yes. The new leak is very much final ICS for us. And, as jim mentioned, it will lock us down even more with no way to return to GB. Unless that doesn't matter to you for some reason, I would stick with the first ICS leak found and posted in the general section. Then you may flash a ROM made from the new leak if you wish to experience what the newest leak has to offer. Or, you can decide for yourself what's best for you..

That statement is not entirely true. You can install it being rooted. But, if you have ever had bootstrap/BootMenu installed.. or have removed any files that get patch checks, then it won't install.
Well where is the first leak? I'm lookin not finding, the one i found they said i had to rsd flash to searet or mearet but rsd would not flash with the files the site gave me, my bootloader says failed n evertime i rebooted is goes to bootloader, but i'm not a novice n fix that prob, so if anyone has a att edison ATRIX 2 n installed the first leak give a how to please, do i have to flash bck to 2.3.5 cause i did dat got the ota to 2.3.6 tried the update n still nothing, i just wanna get of GB it's cool but everyone is upgrading n I'm stuck waitin for moto dev to stop scratching their ass n give us what we want :banghead:

I installed the old blur ics leak on my at&t atrix 2 it runs real smooth so far n when go to system update their is an update, 67.125.us.en 43mb should i install that or leave that alone? Answers anyone?
Sent from my MB865 using xda app-developers app
Can we get a screen shot? My initial response is no, don't do it.
Firmware info for it would be great.
Screenshots in ICS are down on volume rocker and power button at the same time.

There is already a thread on this update. It is not recommended you pull down the update, but is your decision.

I would hold off for now. But that's your decision.
The devs and other senior members are recommending against this update as you cannot go back to GB from it.

I was able to find some work done on the S3 before it was unlocked but can't find anything current for the S3 and dual booting. Has anyone made any progress or is anyone working on it? There are so many awesome roms out there but it's nice to have a daily driver and a slot(s) for test roms.
Boot Manager is an incredible app that I bought when I had the Nexus. Unfortunately, it seems development is dead.

I don't think the partition that is used for roms is big enough for two

Boot Manager allows multiple roms to boot from the sd card. It works for the Nexus just wasn't updated for the S3. Seems like an experienced developer could write an app or recovery that allows roms to install and run from sd card. If locked Moto phones can do it (Safestrap), surely ours can.

Moto's rom storage location is different than ours, the entire internal or at least most of the internal is able to be written on using safe strap. And besides, restoring a nandroid backup takes the same amount of time as safe strap does to transfer the data between the 2 partitioned rom's.

You got me there. I'd throw out BootMenu but we don't have a Webtop partition, so I know that'd be shot down.
So our only hope (app wise) at this point is Boot Manager? The app description says the only Samsung phone it works on is the Nexus. Anyone know what's different about it compared to the S3 (in terms of boot partition)?
Here's a link to some Vzw S3 dual boot development but there hasn't been any activity in it since late July - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774795.

Former Boot Manager Addict in Recovery
Honestly, when i had my DX, i was a boot manager addict! you couldn't tell me there was anything wrong with it.
however...
used to have leeeetle minor bugs i had to live with due to how Boot Manager worked. and flashing themes was a pain in the A$$
today i'm in recovery, but still a flash-aholic. all i do now is just flash a rom, get it just how i like it, make a nandroid of it, and can flash back and forth all day.
tired of Synergy, flash TWRP, click on restore, and walla, i've got Paranoid Android up and running... tired of that, and next its Beans Custome Rom 11, and so forth. only annoying thing is that when you add to it after you make a nandroid, and dont upgrade, then you have to go back and add the changes.
but trust an old addict, this is waaaaaay better, and not much slower than Boot Manager!

I agree that backup/restoring isn't THAT bad but I just miss being able to boot to random roms without much hassle. I had 6 current roms on my Nexus. With BootMenu (not to be confused with Boot Manager) on my Maxx, changing between system 1 (phone rom) and system 2 (webtop rom) was literally as fast as rebooting. Just reboot and a menu came up to boot 1st, 2nd, or recovery.
I'm not complaining about my S3 by any means (best phone I've had to date) I just feel pretty sure it IS possible to dual (or multi) boot if some one with the knowledge took the challenge. Quad core, NFC, battery changeable, 4.8" screen, fully functional Jelly Beanable, LTE piece of hardware booting CM, AOPK, MIUI, TW, AOSP, [you name it] with the click of a button. Gets me excited just thinking about it. Wish I know enough to take the project on myself.

Taken directly from BootManagers description on Google Play
BootManager will not work with Samsung devices that are not listed because of the way Samsung handles the boot partition.

I pointed that out on the last page. Do you know WHAT is different about the boot partition that it only works on the G'Nex and no other Sammy phones? I entered my device in manually in Boot Manager just to see if it'd work but it couldn't back up my phone rom (because of boot image).
Unless something is incredibly special about the G'Nex, perhaps the app could be adapted for other Sammys.

Ubuntu Touch Test
1.Download base zip http://goo.im/devs/Unjust/Infuse4G/Ubuntu/infuse4g_ubuntu.zip
2. Download preinstall http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to.../current/saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
yes it is 300+mb make sure you have space on your sdcard for it
3. Reboot to recovery wipe data and format system then flash bootstrap file first the infuse_ubuntu zip then reboot recovery may do it itself
4. in ubuntu's purple recovery flash the saucy zip takes a while to flash make sure your battery is charged
5. Note this a preview not a daily driver it is pretty cool but it lacks full features.
if it doesnt boot up go into ubuntu's recovery wipe data and format system then flash bootstrap then saucy
To update partially go to terminal on your phone and type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
the password is phablet
I am working on porting the flipped version which has more features
Yeah, my phone got soft bricked after flashing the base zip. Darn, I was excited...I guess I'll Odin it back when I have the time.

What do you mean what did it do ?
Please explain did it reboot etc ?
I did the wipes and partition formats like you instructed from CWM (version 6.1 I think, can't check ATM). I flashed the first zip and it aborted and said please flash again to confirm. I did, a status bar appeared then it rebooted to the white Samsung logo boot screen and sat there for a good thirty minutes before I got fed up and pulled the battery. Now when I boot I get the black screen with the Samsung logo and I can't boot into recovery anymore so I'll have to plug it up to Odin and repartition. I left it at home though so its gonna be a while.

You guys can flash recovery? If so try a newer recovery like scotts newest 4.2.2 builds because I am using his source idk if it will have any effects but i did read about his partition change and if you're using that version of cwm thats pretty old
The galaxysmtd isnt much different from this phone same partitions so I used their ubuntu guide

I really wish I could help, I would offer you the one I have but USB data doesn't work (you know if it gets soft bricked then there is no fixing it) so for that reason I don't believe it would be a prime candidate, you sometimes can get these freedom eBay at a really good price as long as you can deal with not having something work, or if you post a thread asking to borrow someone device for a while that seems to have worked pretty well in the past here

I would be interested in helping test this as well. I'm not super experienced, but I have been flashing roms on my infuse for a while(not my daily driver, I use a nexus 4) I have no problem abusing it. I would need some details on getting started with this, and what details you need, from me to help.
I have already downloaded the files from earlier in the thread. my current recover is cwm 6.0.3.2 but I think one of the zips replaces that, right? I'm posting the info to make sure there hasn't been a problem with changing over from there.
