Upgrading to ICS - Motorola Atrix 2

So I have been reading alot of post saying that the OTA is released in Asia. So I have an AT&T A2 from the US that's rooted and has cheesecake installed. Is there anything that I need to do to have a successful update? I'm on 2.3.6 right now and as far as I know I haven't changed any of my system files, other than how I look for updates.

Good sir, there are MANY posts on how to get your A2 on ICS. We officially have three ICS leaks for this phone.
Only ONE of which you can roll back to GB with. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779968
And please, from now on use the search bar and search for your answers before posting a new thread.

Thread Closed
And yet another ICS Thread. I sense the same when JB leaks roll out.
Ok folks, use the search button and you shall be rewarded. I know people can be cautious when jumping to another OS, but there's no need to start new threads for things that have already been covered. Just post your issues in the current threads, and they will get answered.
So, thread closed.

Tmobile update?

hello all, nice to be here.
Tmobile sent out a software update to my phone this morning, did any one else get one?
I was about to start modding stuff like taking off touchwiz. Would a software update make doing this harder?
It reads,
'congratulations!
T mobile has sent you a new software update for your device.
To proceed with installation select next.'
It's possible that this update might keep me from modding certain things right?
Any details known about the update?

Is it just KD1? I know that rolled out from tmobile recently.
It's kd1 update. We have had a deodexed and rooted version available for Odin flashing here for a while. I recommend using it instead of the tmo version. Look up Whitehawkx kd1 thread here on the forum and follow the directions in the op if you want to try it out.
Also an fyi to avoid flames--this is the dev forum. Questions should go in general forum. We are trying to keep things organized so folks can find what they need--and to keep Mr. Clown (forum mod) happy!

Sorry I thought this was more of a dev question. Thanks for the heads up and the info.

Since the galaxy s in the UK got the gingerbread update can we use that as a 2.3 base to build roms on?

That wasn'tithe Galaxy S 4G so unfortunately no...

So we cant even use it as a base? We are porting vibrant roms now. I'd assume the same process would need to be done and the button mappings changed right?
I doubt it, not yet anyway... as you can tell they're having a bit of trouble porting froyo roms

I was wondering how long it was gonna take till one of these posts hit.....
Wonder how long it'll take after this thread gets deleted till another on pops up.
Closed. Do not...I repeat do not post in developer section unless u develop something. Btw I locked ur other threads as they all were the same and you've already found the correct thread stickied in general section. If I find another one I will start issuing infractions.

actually i own international phone but if its possible then no need of droid rom ports
but devs can now prepare cwm from our very own ics~~
The answer is simple: no, no, and....no.
Also, search.
Why do posts like this keep popping up, this is the umpteen post about this same thing!
Please search before posting ANYTHING!!!!!
This phone has been out for over 10 months now, we have pretty much seen it all now, the answers to most questions are just a search away, and this one would have turned up more than 10 or so of this exact same thread.
Please remember the number one rule on XDA still applies:
DO A SEARCH FIRST!!!
Now to answer your question we would have already done that with one of the leaks if it was possible, but unfortunately it is not possible, I am sorry to say the hardware differences and the way the bootloader checks are, it will not even flash.
Extremely sorry but while reading post of first leaks some devs were saying they are waiting for the searet rom release :O
Anyways waste of time Dev pls delete the post

Wait there is something everyone did not ask in their haste that no search was done.
To the OP are you on AT&T? If not that post with the how to get back to gb instructions may not work for you, and it might brick you.
If you are not on att and one of the other leaks please ask this question in the thread you installed the leak from. If you are on AT&T then you should be fine with the link posted in this thread.

[Q] Can I stop today's ota?

I'm rooted and unlocked running the hd radio and the g7 build. I just got an ota update message and postponed it for 2 hours. Will the update just fail?
I very happy with my phone as is and would prefer to wait on the update until all the devs have seen it.
I'm surprised I can't find a thread about it anywhere but someone must be in the same situation as I am?
Thx
Well there is this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955746
just a few posts after yours.
Did you ever update to the HE build? That's probably all this is.

Well there are plenty of threads already about the recent OTA's. Freeze "sdm" using Titanium Backup or your favorite app that removes system apps. Either way, if you have a custom recovery installed then OTA's will fail. Plenty of devs have already seen this update, there is a VRALHE rom already available by Scrosler.

Thanks, I just got the ota message for the 1st time and expected I could easily find the thread but could not. I am so happy with Scott's vralg7 and the hd radios I just don't wanna rock the boat.....
I'll try freezing that file, what directory is it in?
Thanks again, I'm on an (gasp) iPad and can't find a thanks button butill push it when I'm on my pc.

I'm not sure, I'm on CleanRom 2.1 and it comes pre-removed. If searching yourself then I believe "sdm1.0" is under /system/app? I need someone to correct me on that. If you open Titanium Backup and select "System apps" though then it will be listed along with every system app installed. There's no searching for specific folder paths.
I also use an iPad. I rarely use xda from mine though, it's too difficult trying to reply use any forum website on an iPad haha

Sorry Kenny, my bad.....
Thanks to everyone for the advice. I ended up flashing Scott's rooted/deodexed VRALHE. I already had the HE radio. I didn't wipe anything and so far all is well. I assume I won't be prompted anymore for the OTA ? I'm gonna go flash hie 3 in one power menu and the 15 toggle thing.
Anyway.....Thanks
