Does the new ICS for the att version of the skyrocket have a safe kernal or is it still at risk of having the emmc corrupted?
Update: it seems the brick bug is in the stock ics 4.0.4 , use caution when wiping back to factory. Entropy512 has informed me that the att rom has the mmc_cap_erase command in a host file where rogers does not. I will update as soon as more info becomes available to me.
Wipe internal in the rom and let us know

The answer is not in your sig. It may not be possible to tell until the source drops but maybe a dev has some insight.

I guess the kies upgrade to ICS. The question was posed somewhere wondering if samsung has fixed there OS. I'm saying that I didn't get it from this site but as up to date as possible. just say'n I guess I didn't mention that I have the supposed domed chip and that I haven't ever had issues

You are incorrect as from what I understood from your original post you were on a rooted gb rom and flashed back to stock in order to update via kies. 1st off, gb kernels aren't an issue and 2nd, Odin is a safe work around the brick bug issue.
No where in here do u say that u went into the settings on ics and performed a factory reset. That will be the true test
Edit: I revisited your post and see youbdidnt specify gb vs ics but even if u were on ics and went back to stock this wouldn't be a problem through Odin

I didn't read anything offensive. I was just trying to wrap my head around what u were talking about. I understand now. As I stated in my previous post though the gb kernels were not affected.
To anyone in "the know", I assume brick bug had been addressed and the kernels fixed but can anyone actually CONFIRM this? Thanks

I have a problem with my atrix 2 , it was running on android 2.3.4 and i install RazrBootstrap recovery , and after install the CM10 on the recovery menu , i turned on the phone and only says "ab Flashboot Flash mode (S) (boot failure) 0A.65 Battery Low Cannot program , INVALID CG OTV (CG: system) : Invalid SP data , INVALID CG HAB (CG: system, STATUS : 0X004E) please anyone can help me?
Cm10 is ICS based mate. You HAVE to be on ICS before installing cm10 or any other ICS based Rom.
Read the noob guide in the general section. That will help you with FAQ'S. Also, it's not possible that you were on 2.3.4 before the flash. The a2 came out of the box on 2.3.5.
Little more info please?

CM10 is JB. Not ICS. Maybe on this POS device you state that its based on ICS, only because it requires an ICS kernal as we dont have a JB kernal . And my guess is we never will. :crying:

Thats bad advice. Never flash something with a low battery. Charge it up first. IDK if you can charge in the state its in, might have to figure something out.

This method may be considered dangerous, and quite possibly is if you're not careful. But, you can flash via RSD Lite the appropriate FXZ to the device -assuming it's not hard bricked...

Yea, there's always that route.Last resort IMO, but I've had to do that on some device I had.
Another phone, desktop charger would be ideal, but not always possible.
Good fun when you get to that point

So i take it this phone does follow the rest in charging ways, like no charging in recovery, fastboot, or if soft bricked?

Actually our CM10 is not fully JB.... we have had to change all the code to work with our Stock ICS base and kernel. And yes we will not be getting Jelly Bean at all, Motorola has already said that and is offering the 100 dollar card to "upgrade" to phone that will get it.
Yes, again we had to be creative to make CM10 with our ICS base ROM, and Kernel... And yes there are many parts, especially libs and kernel modules, as well as some apps and framework that had to come from our stock ICS ROM and we had to compile it all against our stock ICS kernel.
So yes we have Jelly Bean and the things that go with it, but we do not have any of the kernel and some other upgrades that come with a "true" Jelly Bean install.

More props to those of you that work with this device. I knew it would have to be some work, but seeing it broken down opens the eyes.

Found this thread with a "last resort" method and had nothing to lose tried it and it worked. I also found that you didn't need to put the battery in while doing this, but kinda wore my hand out holding the phone so the wires wouldn't move. Thank you very much for this McGyver fix won't forget it.:laugh:
Hello guys im really getting sick of the bloatware on Blaze and want to get rid of it and i also want to root my phone. But im literally terrified to do so cause i heard it could possibly brick and i seriously do not have the money to buy another phone and also this is my first time rooting. My blaze is currently running 4.0.4 ics with Baseband version T769UVMB1. It would be a great help if someone could shed some light on the possibilitiy of bricking or destroying my phone, also it would also be great if someone could give me a root guid that is compatible with my Blaze and its baseband version

Hello, I am new to this forum and just got my blaze 3 weeks ago. I know the phone is kind of old but I like it. Any way when I get a new phone the first thing I do is root it and get rid of the bloatware, but after 3 weeks searching and following 2 tuts from other sources I managed to softbrick my phone. All is good there and I managed to un-brick the phone both times. My question here, is there any tuts out there that can help me root my phone? I will post the specs below and hopefully someone can direct me to the right info.
Any help is greatly appreciated and If I missed sonething I apologise as I am in the U.S Army and usually very busy. Thanks guys!
T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4g

First, you should never look at "other sources". XDA is the best and you should have started here
Second, wrong thread. Questions belong in the General section.
Third, if you look there is a [GUIDE][ICS]How to root stock just a few posts down.
Lastly, this phone has never been on 4.0.3 lol. There was a recent baseband update to UVMB1 but it is still 4.0.4 just as UVLH5 was 4.0.4.
Hope that helps

It seems they want us using the guide for UVLH5 although I followed it precisely (twice) and was unsuccessful.
you can disable bloatware apps with ics
you'd be able to permanently remove them with root
From what I've read on here, the Blaze is pretty hard to brick and if you do, fairly easy to fix. There's a thread on here by beastmode that lays out the exact process in rooting our phone running ICS. I'd never done it before, either, but followed the guide, Googled the info I didn't know, and it went seamlessly.

I believe the Beastmode thread you mentioned is the one I linked, and followed twice, unsuccessfully
It lays out instructions for rooting our ICS Blaze on firmware UVLH5. I (and the op) have firmware UVMB1. They are both ICS 4.0.4, I wouldn't think the process would be any different, and I don't know why it didn't work for me, but it didn't.
In that thread, there are a couple people using that version of ICS that rooted just fine. Odd it didn't work for you. Did you place the zip on your internal or external sd card?

May the -Mass times Acceleration- be with you...
Some things about ROM flashing:
Below is some pretty basic stuff go through if you have no idea what a custom ROM is and why should you use a custom ROM
There are two kinds of ROMs available:
Stock ROM or Firmware:It is provided by the manufacturer and the version varies as per the policies of the company.These usually don't have many modifications or tweaks.
Custom ROMs:These are developed by a developer or hacker that enables the users to customize their interface, thereby improving the performance drastically.These are usually heavily modded and tweaked to improve UI and performance.
There are both advantages and disadvantages in using custom ROMs for Android devices. Before loading custom ROMs, you need to root your android device. Rooting will help you to change your privilege from “guest” to “super user”. When you buy the device, you will be having only guest privilege since you will not be able to access all the codes as the manufacturer locks it up. It is considered as a protective measure, but the tech savvy’s are disappointed by this action as they cannot use many potential features or update it.
Advantages of using custom ROMs
Updated versions: You can load the latest and available Android versions which can make your old phone look new.
Great number of feature filled custom ROMs: It will be a chaotic task for you to find the apt one as there are bunches of great custom ROMs available for different devices.
Personalization: There are a number of features that can be customized to suit your taste and working environment. For instance, Custom themes can bring a new look and feel to your device.
Improve performance: The custom ROMs allow its users to find out the unnecessary apps they have on their device and helps them to get rid of them, thus increases the speed of processing and improves battery life.
Better signal and quality: Custom ROMs help you to improve your base-band which in turn increases the signal and quality of your phone call.
Disadvantages of Using Custom ROMs
Warranty Void: This is one of the main reason why people hesitate to root their devices.The manufacturer will cancel the warranty if they find any attempts of rooting.
Bootloops/Bricks: If the rooting/flashing is not successfully done, the device may enter to an infinite loop of booting(called a soft brick) or worse may hard brick(become unusable).
Loss of all Data: When you install a new custom ROM, it will clean up your system and therefore you will loose all your installed apps and data.
Stability:Not all custom ROMs are fully stable and may cause different kind of problems.
By default you have Stock ROM and Stock Recovery installed in the phone.
You need a Custom Recovery to flash a custom ROM.
You don't have custom recovery installed by default in you phone.
You'll need to be Rooted to install Custom recovery or to Flash custom ROMs.
You can't flash Stock ROMs(or better put fxz) using custom recovery.Use RSD lite for that purpose.
Okay so you wanna get started?
The first step would be Rooting your phone.
GB and ICS Rooting
JB Leaks Rooting-Link 1 or JB Leaks Rooting-Link 2.
Done with the Rooting?
Good.
Now install a Custom Recovery to your phone.
There are only two custom recoveries available for Atrix 2
CM-Defy recovery or Bootstrapper recovery
BMM Recovery(Boot Menu Manager)
Both these recoveries can be installed by simply installing an apk.Yes it's that easy!!!
But there are some important points to be kept in mind if you're trying to switch the recoveries or if you want to multi boot different ROMs.
Just go through the respective threads for details.(They are hyperlinked just click on the names :silly

If you had a custom recovery and can still access it, then you can either reflash the ROM you were on or just restore the backup that you (hopefully) made before attempting to overclock. If you didn't have a custom recovery installed then you'll need to flash the fxz that is for your phone's model. Refer to the second post of this thread for links if you don't know how to use RSD lite, or flash an fxz.

Well that's a different story then The solution to that is to retry reflashing your device's respective fxz again until it does so successfully. The fastboot failure seems to be a result of something going wrong during the fxz process with rsd lite or script you may have been using. Try again and see if it works.

I know what you mean lol, I'm primarily PC oriented and when I just got my phone, it was a whole new ballgame. As for your question, you first have to tell us what firmware region your A2 is; AT&T or otherwise. Then after that, you'll know which ics fxz to download and flash. If you can actually access your custom recovery- bmm or bootstrap- then you should be able to just flash another custom rom. Read OP post #2 for the link to the ics firmware thread, but post your phone model region or just post a screenshot of your 'About phone' in settings.

Yes you can do that but from your post history if I remember correctly you're a kexec reject right?
Won't boot for you coz it's still kexec.But yeah if you can boot just flash it with BMM after doing the wipes.
Hello Experts,
This is sktneer from India. I am Forum Guru in reputed ExcelForum (excelforumdotcom).
But I do not know anything about the back end applications used in phones except the basic functionality of my phone, currently using Motorola Atrix 2 MB865 (Asia version).
I would request you experts to guide and assist me to resolve the issues I am having with my phone.
My phone is very slow and I have tried almost all the methods I found over internet to get rid of this but all my efforts have gone in vain.
Recently over internet I found that some users having the same problem claimed that their issue was resolved by updating their Atrix 2 to Jelly Bean with unofficial leak 3.
To be very frank, this was completely new thing to me and I was not even aware of the terminology used in this scenario.
My Questions:
1) Is rooting is required for this kind of updaing? If yes, please guide me that how can I root my device?
2) What are the correct steps for updating my device with such leaks? Because when I googled this I just found few links for downloading but as I told you that I am completely novice and not familiar with the terminology used, so couldn't get the correct steps to be followed.
3) My last question is, is it possible to install ICS back if I face issues with JB on my device?
I know that I have asked too much and certainly you experts don't expect a complete novice in the forum but I hope that you will bear with me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is absolutely safe to install jb leak on Indian atrix 2 (I am using the same on my phone)
Rooting is not required for this process.
Use this link for complete procedure
and this is the link for downloading jb leak 3
Use the jb leak 3 instead of stock rom (leak) that is given in that procedure

Thanks Sameer!
I really appreciate your help.
I visited the link you provided and one thing is not clear to me. Would you please guide me that how to follow that......
In the link OP stated something like this....
"Once the whole process is over, you'll get a little sign saying that it passed. This means that your ROM has been flashed. Note- do NOT remove your phone/ let your phone or computer switch off. You do not want to go there. Make sure everything has enough charge.
Now... This step is very important... Reeboot your phone and..... You're done! That's it! Your phone now runs official(kinda) Jelly Bean(4.1)!"
Does this mean that when the process of updating is finished, the phone will be switched off automatically and I will have to reboot the phone when it is still connected to the pc as I normally switch on my phone by pressing the power button?
I am sorry if I have asked something silly but I need your guidance.
Hi Sameer,
One more query. Do I need to remove my memory card and SIM before updating also?
Thanks.
Reporting back the progress:
So finally I have updated my device successfully and noticed some changes and I will need your approval whether these changes are normal or if not, how to correct them.
1) The model number of the phone is showing ME865 now instead of MB865 (my old mode before update). Is this correct?
2) The new android version is 4.1.2. Is this the correct version which belongs to leak3?
3) When I called first after updating, the call was not connected and I got a Chinese voice message.
4) I can still see Chinese language here and there, though I changed it to English.
Please let me know if I have done it correctly or do I need to follow some more steps to completely make it to function properly?
Somebody please reply.
All is correct, no Worries,

Thanks Sameer. You helped me a lot. I really appreciate that.
I have few more questions for you, please reply if you can....
1) The latest version of Jelly Bean is 4.3. So is it possible to update to the latest version?
2) Can I re-install the JB update using the same method again, if any issue with the device?
3) If I factory reset the device, will the android version be changed to ICS again?
Sorry for bothering you.
Thanks again for all your support.
1.Yes it is!
2. Yes you can!
3. No. Your phone will only stay at the rom you flashed.

Thank you so much for your reply.
If you have any link with clear instructions for how to update to 4.3, please share that link with me.
Thanks again.
In fact i have never flashed 4.3 before. But i had 4.2 & kk roms flashed succesfully, and i'm using KK(cm11) right now. You can search the Atrix2 Android Development section for some threads of instructions on how to flash a 4.3 rom.

Hi Ricokowalski,
Nothing is better if there is any possibility of using KK.
Do you have any link with clear instructions to a beginner for how to do that, keeping in mind that I have already used JB leak 3 using RSD Lite? I will appreciate any help in this regards.
Moreover why I see this line in your message "Sent from my MB865 using XDA Free mobile app" because after updating my device shows ME865 instead of MB865 but yours is still showing MB865?
Thanks once again for your reply.
Firstly you need to get your phone rooted. Then you have to install a cunstom recovery. Most roms support the BMM(Boot Menu Manager) custom recovery. You can also install multiple Roms by BMM.
If the BMM runs normally on yoir phone, i think it is possible to flash roms.
You can access the BMM instructions here↓
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49231803
I think that should be enough for a beginner to use BMM fluently.
And about the device name, i think it is because the build.prop file changed because of the JB leak you flashed. So your device name is changed too.
However i have noticed that some Roms had stated that people should flash them on stock ICS rom and i wonder if it is also safe to flash on JB leak. Afterall, it is dangerous to flash a custom rom.

That some roms are, non kexec 4.2.2 roms only !! (These non kexec rom needs stock ICS rom as ur primary rom)
All kitkat roms are kexec roms which can be flashed with BMM whether you have jb leak installed or stock ICS installed as ur primary ROM (system 1)
And its not dangerous to flash a custom rom

Nice to see your reply Sameer.
I updated to the JB leak3 with the help of the link you provided and I really appreciate your help since a beginner like me could update using RSD Lite and the leak file without knowing abcd of the whole story.
I would really appreciate if you can provide any further assistance in order to update to kitkat using RSD Lite since I am aware of the process of update using this method.
So can I do the same to update to kitkat using the same method?
If so, can you please assist me in doing so.
As you know my device is now on JB leak 3, will I be able to continue from here to kitkat?
Any further help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

No Sameer. Probably you mistaken me. I know that there might be threads addressing the same issue, but being a novice I cannot decide myself that which one to follow and that's why I requested you to help me to decide about the right method since I trust you. As I am not still clear that is installing BMM necessary for updating to kitkat or can't it be done using RSD Lite as I previously did with JB leak 3?
And don't worry, you are not being rude at all as I can understand this because I am also a forum guru and I know the feeling when OP asks more and then either I don't have time to reply or I am not willing to reply. So never mind. I will try and see if I can find something useful myself.
Thanks for all your support so far. :good:
