This is for everone with Indian or non AT&T Atrix 2

Everyone with an non AT&T Atrix 2 forget about the AT&T ICS leak, don't go and try to flash it because you will be stuck and maybe get hard bricked and out of luck if you have no warranty. If you are on an non AT&T Atrix 2 and try to flash back to AT&T 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 with RSDLite there is a 65% that it will fail if you are not using an AT&T Atrix 2. To prevent hard brick, please be pacient till the official release of ICS for non AT&T Atrix 2, but remember this only applies to non AT&T phones.
You can try the SEARET or MEARET ICS leak, flash only MEARET and SEARET roms if you are trying to flash back to 2.3.6 eventho it is not recommended.
I don't want this to keep happening and specially if you have no warranty like me, you'll be stuck and you will either have to take it to a repair shop or get a new phone, it's not free like the AT&T ones that have warranty and can get a replacement for free.
Think Twice!
I'm a noob, but trying to help the noob from my experience!

We pay for insurance on our phones each month. It's not free. I've had a att account for over 5 years so they owe me a couple of phones as much extra money they have gotten out of me. This is probably my second warranty exchange.

Yeah, it's better not too. Just be patience and wait for the final release. I hope it's a good one.

The Indian ics leak is fine to use.
So use that one, not the at&t.

New Baseband. No Network. HELP!

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.

No need for root

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

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.

Need GB SBF for Atrix 2 India

Hi,
I got OTA of ICS and I am not liking it at all. I need to go back to Ginger Bread. Please help me find SBF of GB for India.
Thanks.

Unless I'm wrong.... You can't go back to GB from ICS, didn't you read the warning?

Hi,
Hmm, why its not possible ? I saw a thread here somewhere in which op has done the same but its related to AT&T only. Where as I am in India. If i get GB SBF, can't I just reflash it uisng RSD Lite to go back to GB ?
Thanks.

Try to Factory Reset...This will work for sure...

Abn is right. try a factory reset. All you can do at this point. You CANNOT go back to gingerbread. You will brick.
For Pete's sake. This is exactly why we have been telling everyone to stay on the leak. Sheesh.

Motorola Atrix 2 (MB865 asia retail on ICS, unrooted)

[Q] US AT&T A2 soft bricked while OTA and another question

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.

[Q] help with ICS 4 manual update on Atrix2

SOS
here's my story - i bought the atrix2 (MB865) in the US but now i'm in Malaysia. i tried updating to ICS4 via the phone but it always prmpt saying its already the latest update. my friend has the same model which he bought from Malaysia was able to update. i email motorola USA and they said the model that i have is actually a south american model. ok... so i got con.
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:

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:
