The fxz back to anything (2.3.5/.6) will wipe all as is without checking anything. If it's the wrong fxz... then that's bad news - that's where bricks happen.
The leaked upgrade package has checks before it will install, so that is the one you want to worry about a clean system on - but it typically won't brick you, it'll just fail..
So, long story short.. no, beats audio will not affect the fxz flash - just don't reinstall it before you upgrade to ics..
Which 2.3.5 fxz do I use then because I see multiple

The very bottom one (InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.25_cfc_p3_APBP.xml.zip) is the AT&T 2.3.6 fxz.
The 2nd from the bottom (InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285.zip) is the AT&T 2.3.5 fxz (you would need to use the 2.3.6 "replace" files from the beginner's thread with this one)
So use the 2.3.5 fxz (second one from the bottom and then ota to 2.3.6 then to ics leak?

Either should work. But, the 2.3.6 fxz at the bottom will put you back to stock 2.3.6, so no need to go to 2.3.5 at all.. but your choice. I have used both. (But remember to replace the files first if you use the 2.3.5 fxz!)

Okay and 2 questions will I need to sd card in when doing the fxz to 2.3.6? And is there any chance of my atrix 2 soft or hard bricking randomly during the process?

No, I do not believe that you need the sdcard in.
And, sorry to say, but there is always a chance for something to go wrong.
A few things to make sure of before starting:
- make sure you have the right fxz for your phone (and replacement files if necessary)
- make sure you have the moto drivers installed on your comp
- make sure you have like at least 50%+ battery left
- make sure to use a rear USB port on your comp (or a very reliable one on your laptop - I got 3 on my laptop, only one works solidly)
- make sure you are patient and let the process completely finish

From the looks of things...yes, they look like the right files. You are on AT&T 2.3.6, and have never been on ICS yet, right? RSDLite has been updated to 5.7 though I think.. not sure if it matters or not.
Good luck, looks like you're on the right path... (insert standard "I'm not responsible.." disclaimer)

I normally would fxz back but i don't think there is one for the second leak or ota. If i load into stock recovery and reset to factory will that bring it back to stock ot back to scv7 without a launcher like it would if i reset to factory in a custom recovery

No. It will only wipe user data, and the radio modifications would either be system or radio.img modifications.

This is exactly what we were warning everyone about - IF YOU WANT TO ROOT AND MOD YOUR PHONE ON ICS, STAY ON THE FIRST LEAK ONLY! There is no safety net fxz for anything higher than leak#1 yet. (Sorry, for the caps lock, but it wasn't directed only at you.)
Can you boot into custom recovery (probably not, from the sound of it)? Not sure what and how bad things are messed up, but you can't re-install the OTA through stock recovery.. I don't suppose you made a system.img before this happened? If you can't get into custom recovery, then your only hopes at this point is to flash something with moto-fastboot in AP Fastboot mode - i.e. system.img and/or radio.img - but, that probably won't help unless they are images from your own phone.
Yea everything works but the text messaging . I actually flashed the multilingual stock thinking it would fix but it didn't.

unless you rooted/bootmenu/bootstrapper installed I think you can use the OTA which shows up for leak1( assuming you aware of risk not being able to fxz back to 2.3.6 from final OTA). If you installed any of above probably fxz back to 2.3.6 and OTA might be best option I guess...

Uh I wouldn't want to grab that thing ota. Way to much to go wrong especially battery issues. If some moron decides oh hey yeah lemme DL this with what battery I have left over my 4g network. Dudes battery drains over the course the phone reboots to try and install said update phone dies and bricks. Kies ensures that A. You have a good download of the update package and B.

But it does not matter anymore now that I use custom ROMs.

I believe I read somewhere Samsung makes the update and the carrier determines whether to roll it out in your area.. working deals with Sammy...but don't quote me on that.If you do a search... that would be interesting to know for sure

Yeah I know that the carrier controls whether an update will be released or not. They have to put all their bloatware and test it!
I was asking for the OTA vs Kies part. I thought that Since ICS (4.0), everything was available from OTA. But I think that you can always choose to update via Kies. I did not know that an update could only be released via Kies (disabling OTA). Not sure either.
Anyways! As I said, for me, not important anymore!!

I was able to check for start downloading the OTA from AT&T after already getting it on kies by reflashing to stock ICS. I stopped the OTA though because I wanted to redownload it in Kies to get the tar from the temp file for backup. The funny thing is that I had to do it twice because I messed up trying to find the file before it disappeared. It disappears after flashing is complete so you have to reflash ICS and do it again. Or u can take the easy way and download it off the web...but where's the fun in that?
