[Q] OTA ICS fails - Motorola Atrix 2

Hey,
I rooted my phone a long time ago and really didn't do much with it other than used droidwall. I tried OTA updating and it failed. So I did a factory reset and then tried the OTA and it also failed. What are my options?
Thanks!

You've deleted or modified one of the files it checks. At this point you need to fxz to stock.

If you are rooted, you can check /cache/recovery/last_log for details about the install fail.
But, yes, you can use the 2.3.6 fxz if you are on GB.

If you was on ICS Leak#1, you can fxz back to 2.3.6, but if you was on 2.3.6 GB, you'll have to go back to 2.3.5 with the normal fxz and patch.
Edit: wow, I was slow on the draw!
Just be sure you use the correct one.

Where do I get FXZ 2.3.6 to 2.3.6? I looked in the UPDATE[7/22/12] The Beginners Guide !!! (NOOBS)[ALL IN 1 RESOURCE GUIDE]
I did not see the files. I am rooted and 2.3.6 I am getting an error when I try to update to ICS. I checked the cache and the error I had is:
failed to open the file (java.io.IOException at com.estrongs.android.pop.app.ct.run(unknown source) SO I assume if I FXZ to 2.3.6 I should be able to update to ICS?

Were you rooted at any time? Possibly removed some system apps or something like that?
BTW, Congrats!
From the screenshot it seems the build `18' is the final build they are pushing to Asiapac. However, the upgrade checks integrity of several hundred files, including build.prop, DroidSans.ttf, /system/bin/logwrapper (etc etc but these are the files we touch first). To make sure the upgrade goes fine, it is recommended that you FXZ the 2.3.6 searet so the file checksums will be as expected. Alas, an OTA could preserve your data but FXZ won't.

Then your phone used run Asia (Operator) version or something different than vanilla SEARET which we all have. Download that zip instead. I wouldn't know which one, and difficult for you as the phone is flashed with other fxz. If you find a friend who got Atrix 2 from the same source as you, check his "about phone" to know the version.
Or otherwise as already said the last cheesecake leak is the same as what was being pushed to you, so use it happily.

Very nice. Have fun. Did you finally receive the OTA or installed the latest cheesecake leak? I know they are same build, but curious if you could do it the official way.

Questions belong in the Q&A Section.
The signature verification failed because SCV7 is based on our ICS leak. Which is TOTALLY different than the OTA update you recieved. There are currently no ROMs available for the firmware you are on.

You should be flashing SCV7 though bootmenu bootstrap. or other cwm based recovery... not stock

Possibly that rom is only for the leak ics not for the ota? And you dont use stock recovery you have to use bootmenu or safestrap to install.

If you're coming from the official OTA for ICS, and tried to flash SCv7 (which is based on our AT&T leak) you likely have soft bricked your device. You cannot flash an unofficial leak version of a ROM to an official ICS ROM, you should have thought this through a little better. I'm sorry to say, but you're probably S.O.L. (Google that, if needed)...

No you cannot fxz back from the official ota. You're bricked mate, sorry dude, send in for a replacement.
While you're at it read the sticky in the general section about why we all recommend to NOT to OTA to ICS.
There have been many warnings about this for over month.
Best of luck to you.

Atrix 2 brick
I've bricked my atrix 2 and reinstalled the original rom with an application from Motorola that let me force the original back on my device. But I did not have ics. So I'll look up the application and the original rom. Later tonight or tomorrow.
You can FXZ from ICS to GB

It is due to recommendation of you guys that I'm still on GB, which is quite snappier than ICS. :good:

I don't believe you can go to ICS with out FXZ back to 2.3.5. Read the below thread to get started. Its for AT&T Version, if you use different version phone make sure you FXZ back the correct Image to get started.

Yes, the easiest thing would be to fxz back to stock first, then install ICS.
For AT&T only:

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)

You need to fxz back to 2.3.5 then OTA to 2.3.6, then you should be able to OTA to official ICS.
If you was on 2.3.6 then use the normal fxz and patch, and if you was on ICS Leak#1 use Jim's script.

Axis, Just wanted to make sure...
I am not sure that we can do OTA after 2.3.5 FXZ as I remember somebody already reported as they don't see 2.3.6 OTA any more. I thought we had 2.3.6 FXZ package in that download page ( sbf driod developers page, last one is for 2.3.6 I believe). May be alteredkindness confirm as he is the one put together 2.3.6 fxz (for downgrading from ICS leak#1).

Yea i believe he said it was possible to fxz to 2.3.6 from GB in a related post.
Edit: Unless I'm overlooking it, I'm pretty sure if you are on GB 2.3.6, you have to go to 2.3.5 with the patch and OTA to 2.3.6. I believe the problem you're stating was related to ICS back to GB and that people couldn't OTA. But I think thats how the ICS to GB 2.3.6 came about.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.
Double Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32113181 this has the gb 2.3.6 fxz for everyone on gb still. Apologies for not seeing this sooner.
