5.after i try again the 3rd step with same results.
can anyone help me?
This whole mess started when you tried to flash MEARET firmware on your AT&T phone. NEVER mix firmware!
And trying recovery at this point is not going to work, as the ICS zip is just a large patch file for 2.3.6. And since it failed on the fxz, a portion of your system is missing so ICS won't install. You need to fxz back.
What step is the script falling at? A screenshot would be helpful.
And for the future, please post questions in the Q&A form.

sorry.please move this thread at q&a
Yes the script from step three is what's going to save you here.
But we need to know where it's failing at.

i can see that problem is with cbt, recovey and cdrom partition.
Uh oh.
Which ICS version did you install? Please show need the thread.
I need to know which leak it was.

Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip
Well I hate to tell you man. But you are soft bricked until we find an fxz for ICS.
Recovery and cdrom are failing because cdt.bin isn't flashing. And we haven't found a fix for this yet.
Although the strange thing is that this shouldn't be happening on the first leak... but it is...
So you're bricked mate.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
ok, i will wait.
thanks.
but please explain to me.i had a motorola a1200 and a siemens sx1.when i flashed a firmware, all the flash memory erased and new data wrote at flash.if i had bootloader, all was fine.the only method to brick a phone was to replace the battery when flash the bootloader(or flash false bootloader).
at A2, why when i write a new bootloader and new mbr(and partition table?) is necessary to flash the same or newer edition of firmware?this is because bootloader is locked?
i thought when i flash a new firmware, all the flash memory erased and writes new data(at the begining the bootloader, after mbr with partition table, after the image(i think this is the kernel of linux) and all other the data)

If you did the OTA ICS update you WILL NOT be able to flash the FXZ back. We have no way out of this right now. And if you are bootlooping or stuck on the splash screen then you are bricked. Sorry mate.

Whiteboi, thanks for your consideration of others but PLEASE, research before you try to help others. For one thing, he is on an MB865 AT&T phone and therefore MUST download the firmware for an AT&T phone. The international versions of the A2 are completely different, including radio, WiFi and the like. NEVER mix firmwares.
Also, he already flashed international firmware which is what got him into this predicament in the first place. He also installed the OTA update for ICS for which there is NO GOING BACK. Read the threads I gave him and educate yourself man.
I applaud you generosity, but if he wasn't already bricked, your advice would have surely/quite possibly bricked him. Be careful man.

Yeah man, if you OTA'd to ICS then I can almost guarantee it will fail at step 3 of the flash process which is the cdt.bin. If you are using the script it will also fail on the recovery portion and the cdrom portion. These are both because of the cdt.bin As of right now, we have no fix for this. Once again, this is the reason we are recommending people to ONLY use the first leak, and not OTA to ANYTHING unless it's 2.3.6 GB. Once again, reference the links I sent you.
You're bricked sir.
Until we find an ICS fxz. Which might be A LONG TIME.
Time to get a replacement/new phone.

Hello everybody, I already search everywhere to find the answer for this and I didn´t find
I just tryed to install RebelROM Beta 3, but after I flash and reboot my phone it´s not working anymore, when I turn on the phone it stays on the first screen saying (dual core technology), I left like this for 30 minutes and it´s really not loading to start working, can someone help me?

You're going to have to flash the fxz if its stuck on the splash screen. I have no idea why it wouldn't work, I ran rebelrom beta 3 as my daily driver for over a month with no issues.

how do I flash the fxz like you said?

THANKS EVERYONE THAT IS HELPING ME
Flashing the fxz takes a couple minutes and is relatively easy. Follow the instructions here (you will have to scroll down a bit to get to the guide.) I assume that you got your A2 from AT&T. If you did not get it from AT&T then DO NOT flash that fxz... where in the world do you live?
First things first. How did you flash it? CWM?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Again... follow the instructions . You use a utility called RSD Lite to flash the fxz.
I flash it with cwm, to flash the fxz I have some especific files to atrix?
It´s a AT&T unlocked, I bought it on ebay when I went to USA, I live in brazil

your battery's not gonna charge until you can get the phone to boot, so do it now before anything gets worse. once you flash the fxz you can root, install the bootstrap and restore your old backup to get back to exactly where you were when you made it.
I just did the process, everything worked great, already restored my backup!
thanks for helping again
Same problem, but when I connect my phone to my computer my phone's LED is a white light and it won't start up... whats the deal with that?
I would suggest you take the same route that cogeary recommended to the gentleman before you and go through the fxz reflash process as he laid out a couple posts up.

[Howto] Fix "Battery Low - Cannot program"
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Ok everyone the leak is here!
I have tested it all day and it works very well, very smooth.
Don't post here if you are having issues with this leak itself. If you have issues with the process then by all means post in here with the issue.
So this is a how to with all the files needed being posted in here as well.
1) FXZ back to full 100% stock 2.3.6, ONLY if you were ON GB to begin with!!! If you started on the ICS OTA, then do not attempt this, you will Brick!!!
2) Download the file below called Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip and copy it to the root of your SDcard (it does not matter how it gets there)
3) Boot into stock recovery (power off, then while the phone is off hold both the Vol up and Vol down button, right in the middle, then hold the power button until you see the boot menu, then highlight recovery with the Vol down button, and select with the Vol up button).
4) Get to the recovery menu (you should see an android with an exclamation point, at this point) by holding the Vol up and Vol down button, then the menu will pop up, select install from /sdcard, then select the Blur file from the root of your sdcard, and tell it to flash it. You will flash a new recovery and see a droid laying down with it's belly open and red exclamation point, this is normal, just hit both Vol up and Vol down again to get the menu and select to flash from sdcard again and choose the same Blur file as before.
5) Boot into ICS, and root using the zip below, you will connect the phone to your computer and use the root.bat (unzip this folder to your desktop) for windows and root.sh for linux/mac.
Files:
ICS OTA:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/main...man/Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip

Fxz back to 2.3.5 from ICS, ONLY USE THIS METOD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805975
Please do not post anything in this thread but install issues. DO NOT ASK IF YOU SHOULD UN-ROOT OR IF YOU CAN STAY ROOTED, OR IF YOU DID THE FXZ YESTERDAY ARE YOU OK. Follow the instructions above, or don't if you don't you will NOT get support.
Note: I am not responsible if you bootloop. brick or wreck your phone, or if your girl leaves you cause you play with your phone too much because of this. You are doing this of your own free will!
You will most likely not be able to get the "real" OTA while on this leak, and since the BL is going to be the same, you may not be able to install the "real" OTA at all, so when it comes out you will need to give the devs time to make it work for anyone who installed this. Again no complaints about this either, your dev team will find a way to make it work. You just need to give us the time needed when it comes out if there are any issues.

Quick question.. If I fkz from 2.3.6 wont we get the "invalid CG version error"? There's a thread to fix that but it says it takes stock recovery away (which is needed to flash the OTA). How do i downgrade?

u tried to flash miui? thats not even for rsd
Was you stock 2.3.5, 2.3.6 or on the ics leak before trying to fxz?
Sent from my MB865 using xda app-developers app
Please search!
Ok, so this is how you fix your issue:
If you want to flash the MiUI ROM you NEED TO BE ON ICS (4.0.4) FIRST!
If you are on Gingerbread (2.3.5 or 2.3.6) the install the ICS leak for YOUR CARRIER.
There are a couple of different types of ICS leaks out there depending on your carrier, install the proper one for your phone.
Once you get on ICS the MiUI ROM is installed the BOOTMENU NOT RSD LITE. It's not even the right file type for RSD lite.
I will not give links as you can find them your self with the search bar. I would personally advise against the MiUI ROM as it is VERY buggy right now, and honestly man, if you don't know what I'm talking about you SHOULDN'T BE MESSING WITH YOUR PHONE.
Especially if you were trying to flash the damn thing through RSD lite... for pete's sake.
READ. SEARCH. RESEARCH.
THEN REPEAT.

One thing that I've found...be sure that your USB cable is plugged directly into the computer, and not into a hub. I can do everything through a hub with mine EXCEPT fxz back to stock...and so when I tried and it stuck on the same step that you're on, I (and pretty much everyone else that I asked) was stumped. With all the crap that I tried, it really was something that easy, and yeah, I'll admit it: dumb. There really is a reason that tech support people ask dumb questions to start off with.
I've tried everything but I can not friends.

OK, so finally I recovered my phone from flashing an unsigned system.img on the 67.21.125 ICS (The second version).
I'll go into detail later but here is what I did:
First, I flashed everything included in my fxz minimal.fastboot files.
Second, I flashed the 2.3.6 boot, system, and webtop partition (DON'T FLASH ANY OTHERS RATHER THAN THE boot,system, and grfs img's or you will hard brick your device).
Third, I entered recovery and applyed the first ICS leak, then it went into fastboot and complained about recovery and cdt so I flashed it from the minimal fxz's. And then I re-applyed the ics leak and then Something unreal happened, it booted :laugh::laugh::laugh:.
Last, I OTA'ed to the .125 leak again and everything was back to %100 normal.
And thats the end of the story, someone can write a tutorial from there .

Accually, It is not downgrading to gb but getting ics working again. If you try to boot gb instead of going to recovery, then you would boot loop.
So if your bricked, then this is the solution to fix it.

Well, a few things are not so clear yet - give us a little while to try and come up with a more direct way - or for tcf to put together a guide - but this is my understanding (please correct me or add if necessary, tcf):
He's talking about the minimal fxz package he put together from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912035 (which only has a linux script I believe - but you could flash them one by one through the command prompt in windows - or, we could get a batch file made up also).
Then, the system.img, recovery.img, and grfs.img only from 2.3.6 (found in the 2.3.6 fxz from here or the same are in the leak#1 2.3.6 fxz).
Then he applied the leak#1 ota package.
Got thrown back into fastboot.
Flashed the cdt.bin again from the minimal fxz package (which is actually from ICS leak#2/soak package) -- but not sure if he flashed recovery.img from there again also..
Then he re-applied the leak (#1?) again - and it booted to ICS.
So, I am not sure about the timing of things or how it exactly worked out yet, but I notice the linux script for the minimal fxz package doesn't have a reboot-bootloader before the cdt.bin flash - also there should probably be a pause after the reboot-bootloader lines to allow it to reboot completely before attempting to flash the next file. That may be partial reason for the multiple flashings of the cdt.bin.. but, again, maybe not - maybe it's all in some magical order... though a few of us will be digging a bit deeper into this I'm sure.
Thanks again to tcf38012 for pushing this thought of upgrading back to the leak - we were on that path at one time, but the pieces of the puzzle weren't fitting together..

Thanks for trying to clarify this. It seems like it would be time consuming for me to try since I'm a windows user. I am glad that he did find a way to get some of our soft bricked users back on track.

thanks for good job, waiting your instructions....
Yeah, this great man! I got an A2 that is stuck at the boot logo from a screw up on the second leak. I have a Samsung skyrocket now, so I'm the perfect guinea pig to try out what you need! Eagerly awaiting further instructions!

Did Anyone tested this?
I'll write a tutorial after school which I'm about to go to (High School). I get home at 3:45 - 4:30 and I get done my homework at 5:00 - 5:30 so I'll try to write it at 5:45.
Just hang in there!
Cheers!!!
Whenver I tried to flash stock gb 2.3.6 to ICS 4.0.4 searet or mearet using RSD, I get error like mbmloader flashing error then flashing process stop. What is mbmloader? I tried flashing error using moto fastboot command then I get INFOimage and IC type differ-EMU vs. HS
Pls give me detail how to get success flashing to ICS I tried every possible way found in internet for whole 1 month. I tried ot from 2.3.6 searet same thing?? Any advice
You are on GB, and you want to go to ICS?
Do you know if you are trying to flash the correct firmware?

you can't fxz from gb to ICS. you must update normally.

Thnx lkrasner for quick reply. I tried to take ota update, stuck in android is upgrading for half an hour, restarted the phone , did factory reset and wipe cache . stuck in M logo. I tried this 5 times. I can easily go back to gb of any region but cannot be upgraded by any means always soft brick.
I'm stuck in gb for more than 1 months.
3 days ago I tried to upgrade to ics leak cheesecake,searet one, it booted fine, but camera didn't work. So i restarted the phone and then the phone stuck in m logo. Within 1 month time i've tried every way and only 1 time it booted to ics and when i tried the same method next time it was soft brick.
Next is can we have stock ics kernel like other device do? How can i extract kernel from firmware zip folder. It is very easy in other decice but couldnot find kernel.img in any firmware.

You cannot flash a kernel on this device, which is why you cannot just fxz to ICS. it odes all these security checks in the upgrade. Not sure why that fails, but half an hour is not that long for it to hang, I remember mine taking at least an hour to finish.
My guess is, since you flashed different firmwares other than the specific one for your phone, something might be screwed up.
Give it to service and ask them to fix it.
If they can't make it, they might give you another phone. ( under warranty)

Just a thought:If you can get to the ICS leak 1 successfully, you should try OTA'ing from there as it will take you to the official ICS and hopefully everything will work from there.
BTW did you remove any bloatware or in any way modify any system files?coz that is the primary reason for OTA to fail.
Also check out the last_log file in cache/recovery,it might throw some insight as to what is causing the update to fail.

Are you sure???
Coz many have followed the fxz route when the update via other methods failed.
And technically why wouldn't the fxz work it will flash the new bootloader which is the main hurdle and other things.
Any insights as to why specifically can't we fxz from GB to ICS.
Not trying to be rude just trying to learn if i've missed anything.

Thanks xda's. May be my device screwed up.
why i'm getting error mbmloader failed?
Even though the device is asia retail, I can flash chinese and hk/tw firmware easily but always fails
searet and mearet firmware which has mbmloader.bin.

Well you can flash ICS directly from GB. At least on retail phones. Don't know much about att.
