Stock Android Recovery

I know we have no way of getting back to stock since we don't have an FXZ yet but why couldn't we use the stock Android recovery upon boot then use our nandroid backup from the ATRIX 2 bootstrap incase someone is stuck on a bootloop or messes their phone up? Would this work?

It sounds plausible, we just need someone that is still within their 30 day return time that has the nerve to try it. They would have to do a nandroid then purposely soft-brick and hope and pray I guess.

Well I dont remember being able to do this on my OG Atrix but today I was messing around and powered my phone off. I was wanting to get to the boot option screen so I could boot into stock recovery. Well I did and got the usual green man with a triangle. Then I proceeded to push the same buttons that got me to the boot option screen and then the stock recovery menu showed up just like CWM recovery. Was we able to do this on the OG Atrix because I dont remember?

In the Droid razor forums they have a way to boot cwm on power up. Ill post the link later. Why couldn't we port that to our phones?

If what I have just done will work we can do the same thing upon boot without having to port anything.
We should be able to flash any zip located on the sd card upon boot via the stock android recovery.
Hoping someone with a lil more knowledge of this stuff will chime in here

The stock recovery wont work for a few reasons the biggest is you cant backup and restore. We need cwm no question about it. we need this on our phones.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385283
I have been talking to hashcode about porting his safestrap method from the droid 3 to our a2's. That would work even better because then we'd be able to restore to stock w/o an fxz or sbf.

Why can't you restore with the stock recovery? We can create backups through our bootstrap so that isnt a problem and it works just fine. But we have no option at boot which is the problem. Look at my last pic. That is my nandroid backup through our bootstrap.

I'm Uploading a video to youtube of what we need.. Hold tight. And I thought you couldn't use backups created from other recoveries?
http://youtu.be/H3fIdf5fQ70
So this is the droid 3 safestrap from hashcode working on my A2. I have been able to make backups that are actually 300mb more then the bootstrap cwm backups. I have Not tried restoring backups using it. I have replaced my phone 4 times now with best buy I don't want to try again.. I have sent hashcode some files he requested to hopefully port this over to the A2.
Check it out!

I'm not trying to spam the board here it just looks like this would really work for us.

Yes I'm familiar with hashcodes safestrap and if he can get it ported to our A2 then that would be exactly what we would need. I was thinking hard about asking him for help myself. So I'm glad you did
I know just enough about this stuff to be dangerous, as in making paperweights with phones
LoL
DONE SOME DIGGING AROUND AND I've ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTION. NO IT WON'T WORK. STILL LEARNING EVERYDAY :/

[Q] Double Recovery Install - Arg (stupid mistake)

I goofed up. :cyclops:
I was on a nice custom 2.3.6 ROM, and now I'm just on needles.
I was ...um, let's just say,.. barely conscious. So, anyhow I'm not 100% positive what I did -- but this is my best guess.
I am fairly sure I was fiddling with system settings (just looking around, no changes), and probably because of the apps I had installed, things became unstable.
What's strange now, is that I don't recall pausing on CWM recovery, which is VERY odd indeed, because I WAS really happy to have installed JW Daddy's CWM on every boot installed, and I've still got several full CWM backups that should work fine.
This much is 100% certain, after several failed attempts to stabilize (even long enough to uninstall the most recent apps), I decided to just restore a CWM backup. But I had forgotten that I had the CWM on every boot mod installed (because it wasn't working anymore, for some reason), and still didn't remember, even after I failed to find the Bootstrap app (which I had uninstalled, just after installing the CWM on every boot mod).
I must have just figured it was probably some ROM or backup of a ROM that I had put on that was clean I guess. Of course, on the next cycle up, it stayed up just long enough, so that I finally got the BootStrap installed again, but before I could hit the button to reboot into CWM, the phone crashed back down into a loop again, and this time, never came back up at all, not even for a second. Factory reset, & clearing Dalvik cache didn't help either.
The problem is that I didn't have a chance to reboot into CWM Recovery after installing the bootstrap and now that it won't boot at all, I'm just stuck looping without an easy way to get into CWM recovery. I am able to get into the useless stock recovery and/or fastboot, but I'm not sure what to do, now that I've got (I think) 2 additional goof-ball mods potentially in there --- one for the old faithful A2 Bootstrap, that is used to reboot into CWM recovery, and of course, the CWM on every boot mod, which was for whatever reason, broken by some other cause (possibly the apps I was fiddling with?) even before I 'worsened' things up.
I'd rather not go all the way back to stock 2.3.5 via RSD but I may have to? What say thee?
===================================================
SPECS PRIOR TO SCREW-UP:
AT&T Best Buy
Model Number: MB8656
Android version : 2.3.6
Display : SuperCharged_V_5_Update_2

Yeah, it sounds like a goof up to me.
You're probably going to have to FXZ the 2.3.5 and then upgrade to the 2.3.6 and use the FXZ fix to get your phone back to where it was. The problem that probably occurred was that you had both the bootstrap and the cwm on boot at the same time. You shouldn't use both of them, only 1 or the other.
If you read the posts, it tells you to un-allow the bootstrap app after installing the cwm on every boot. In fact, the roms that come with the cwm on boot on them don't even have the bootstrap app.

Oh well. I was hoping to at least only FXZ to 2.3.6 and maybe skip a step, since I was already there. ugh.
Thanks DusThis (hitting the Thanks Button now ;-)
Is there a single criteria that defines when we can FXZ back to 2.3.6 versus 2.3.5?

Yeah I would FXZ back to 2.3.5 and do the OTA, then restore your CWM backup using the bootstrap.
There is not currently a way to FXZ back to 2.3.6. Our 2.3.5 was something a very nice XDA member went and got off of a moto server for us. Since this phone ships with 2.3.5, and not 2.3.6 I am sure we will not see a 2.3.6 FXZ unless we make our own which is totally possible, but more work that it may be worth.

<-- ahh, this makes sense now. There is more to an FXZ than just what comes OTA (I had forgotten that ;-)

Once you FXZ back to 2.3.5 you can just simply reroot, install A2 bootstrap and then perform a backup. I have done this several times and have never had any ill effects. Just make sure your backup is GOOD

To get rid of your errors now you must have to restore FXZ then update to 2.3.6 and restore CWM backup after that
To restore FXZ follow:

Yes, but getting the boot image will be a challenge, I think. Let me know if you run into an issue and I might be able to point you in the right direction.
The rest are east but, you HAVE to cat the device for each image, you can't dd it.
I would use the SAME xml file, just update the md5 sums.
The rest of the changes you already know.

I'm no expert at that kind of stuff by any means, but wouldn't it be easier to do if you FXZ your phone to 2.3.5 and then download the OTA. Don't install it right away and pull the update.zip and use that to make the 2.3.6 FXZ??

Nope, an ota is just basically linux patch files that are then applied to the apks and kernel and os files on your phone, it is not a whole new firmware that writes over the one on your phone.
Linux/UNIX patch:

Oh ok. That makes sense. I'm pretty much self teaching myself on this kind of stuff and I know that for instance the cheesecake stuff can be looked at and checked so I didn't know if an OTA update could be done the same way. Thanks for the link Jim.

the cheesecake stuff and otas are the same thing. you can tell some stuff by looking inside the zips. for example they often contain a build.prop, which lets us see if it is ics, or what has changed.

RSD Lite freezes at 14/21 flash system

Well, i recently installed the MIUI rom to see if the battery bug was fixed, but its not.
So, i was triyng to go back to the ics leak, as always.
But now, i don't know why, when i'm in the step 14/21 the program doesn't move.
I mean, the '>>' is still moving, but i left it about an hour and it's still there.
Any ideas?​

Wait, you installed MIUI and now you're trying to use RSDLite to flash the ICS leak? That won't work. Which leak are you trying to flash? You're teetering on the verge of a soft brick if you go down this road. Not good...

Oh crap ^^
Firts i flash the '5.5.1-EDEM-27-MEARET_cfc.xml' with RSD lite. Then, when i'm on 2.3.6 i uptadte something via OTA. And then, i flash via recovery 'Blur_Version.55.28.37.MB865.MERetail.en.06.zip'
So, what should i do now?

Uh oh... you installed an OTA from 2.3.6? Do you know what the update was for? If it was for the OTA to ICS, and you tried to flash a GB .xml or something lower than the official OTA to ICS, you likely have yourself one of those fancy non-FXA'able soft bricked devices...
Edit: If you were on MEARET you may stand a chance to FXZ back to GB, and try to re-OTA to ICS, as some users have noted success with. But, I'm not making any promises in your case...

@Apex, i tried the back to GB from ICS utility and I'm stuck at the dual core screen. I can access AP fastboot however. I was on the stock ICS leak, and i deleted safestrap, and logwrapper and logwrapper.bin files, and upon rebooting i was stuck at boot screen, now after trying the utility I am still in the same position... any help??

No, no. I doesn't installed anything yet. That was the steps that i do to go into ICS Leak, but now, y cant pass throught the first the step. When i flash the .xml it freeze at 14/21.
But, my other problem is that i don't have enough battery, and i think i'm going to the warrancy service.

If you were on the first leak, and tried to FXZ back to GB, you still have a fighting chance. It's only when on the 2nd leak (as was my case) that's there's no known way out of that soft brick. I'm sure Jim or alteredlikeness will see this and figure out how to bring you back out. Sorry, I'm not much help without my knowledge of FXZ'ing back from ICS leak #1. You shouldn't worry too much, I think you're situation is 'fixable'...

Made it to ICS without looking at this thread
I ran into the same issue freezing at 14/21 and failing at 16/21. Being stubborn I continued installing updates.
When an update is ready to install and my phone restart and say flash failure, I would hold both volume buttons and press the power button, once to exit and again to reenter. Next I would scroll to recovery and the installation would continue.
First update 2.3.6 then ICS. During ICS update I had flash failure a couple time but I just redo the button combination the scroll to recovery, thinking everything would be wonderful.
Well I now have ICS installed but my ringtones and notifications won't stick. When I shut down my phone is goes back to the flash failure screen and will not charge automatically while off. These are the only issues I've noticed, I'm sure there is more...
Please help!

[Q] Stuck on CWM Recovery Everytime

Hello everyone,
It's my first time witnessing this issue, I do have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G. So I decided to upgraded Eclairs to Gingerbread. Which I did.
Somehow I downloaded the CM7 ROM in the SGS 4G section, I have flashed it and now everytime I click "reboot system now", it's just putting me back to CWM Recovery over and over again. Now I got tired of it, so I tried flashing the SlimBean in hopes of making my device work the way they should, but it's the same result. When I cleared data, flashed the ROM and Gapps and when I click "reboot system now", It shows the boot screen but then it transferred me back to recovery. I don't really know what to do.
Urgent help needed. Thank you all.

can you acess into download mode?

Yes I can, also tried it with CM9, same results it shows recovery everytime. I need some help. :crying:

You say you went from Eclair (Did this phone even come with that? I thought it started with Froyo. Huh. At least, mine did.) to Gingerbread. Is the Gingerbread you started with CM7, or did you start with one that actually has normal GB bootloaders first? Because if you haven't yet, as with any major bootlooping issue, you'll want to use a proper GB one-click. If you failed to double-flash one of those to get the GB bootloaders earlier, do that ASAP. And hope hard that they come.

You are missing the boot loader if you went straight to Gingerbread. Use Heimdall One Click to flash to Gingerbread. Also click on the bootloader option as well when you flash.

[Q] Atrix 2 help!

Hi guys!
I tried searching for a similar problem that I have but wasn't able too. So I need your help here.
So I lost my CID, didn't back it up so was using bptools for it when I was on JB leak3.
1) I flashed CM11, 4.4.2 dated 14 Dec after flashing gapps, it removed my recovery and was bootlooping
2) I reflash the same leak3 which used to work earlier using RSDlite. Now the rom isn't booting i.e. it is stuck in it's "pumping logo".
3) I again try reflashing using RSDlite, only this time, it fails and status is shown as battery low in fastboot. Now I connect charger, it boots, stuck in the white screen which is expected since I lost my CID.
So, does this mean that it's charging? If not, am I screwed??

If your in india it shouldn't be a problem finding an external universal battery charger in any cell shop....

BMM can be like that sometimes. There are a few possible ways that it could've happened. As long as you make a backup before trying anything, and have RSD lite and your FXZ handy it shouldn't be too much of a problem. It's more aggravating than anything else...

If he was getting the "pumping" Motorola logo boot animation, then he was only boot looping so he was able to charge the battery. The battery would've only been an issue if the phone was booting straight into fastboot, or if it wouldn't get past the boot logo.
Also you can downgrade from jb to ICS, just not from ICS to GB.

Hey!
IDK what was I thinking but I flashed pa 4.4.2 gapps on CM11 by altered and BOOM! Lost recovery and bootloop.
So I re-flashed leak 3 it's now stuck in boot animation("pumping"--again what was I thinking lol!) meaning a softbrick. Why is it happening? I mean is it a bad flash?
Or does it have something to do with leak 3? If so, I can't seem to find ics fxz. The superthread links are dead. My another question is-
Will I be able to us AT&T fxz? Since I've already lost my CID, it shouldn't be a problem right?
PROBLEMS PROBLEMS PROBLEMS!:silly:
Also, can anyone give me the link for asian version of ICS?
EDIT- Was able to boot! went to stock recovery, wiped data and cache partition. Thanks for help guys

If you ever want to use the JB leaks again, DO NOT flash the AT&T FXZ. Just a forewarning just in case you get stuck again and start considering it.

OMG you're right! Never thought of that! Thank God I acted patiently here. I was gonna flash AT&T ics just before trying that wiping data thing!
Thanks! Will keep that in mind.
One more question though(and hopefully the last..)
Can I flash PA Gapps on slimkat? Since both are based on AOSP right?

i guess i've a problem . by mistake while i was supposed to backup cid , i chose the option erase cid and it s deleted, no backup either. now whenever i reboot, my phone shows some error. since i've bmm i am being able to load into ics in system 1 . is there any possible way to get rid of this error message about cid during startup?? because it is really annoying.
