Best regards and happy day, I am writing to see if they can solve my problem ...
I have a Motorola Atrix 2 MB865 Unlocked AT & T
movistar worked perfectly with me, i from venezuela, I have version 2.3.6 of GB, worked fine
when I wanted to upgrade to ICS from xda I downloaded the following file:
Blur_Version.55.28.37.MB865.MERetail.en.06.
following the steps of the guide, I put it on my sd, go into recovery mode,
and ready, this in ICS, excellent guide.
performed the same steps on the phone to my girlfriend and gave me a full upgrade error: assert failed (status 7) installation aborted reboot now, and the phone restarts, when you turn on again ... the phone gives a window saying the update failed, and from there started my problem with the equipment, I no recognize the sim,
Software does not recognize IMEI or BASEBAND
Radio off
no IMEI, no baseband, and the phone restarts every 4min exactly please my team hope to have a solution ....
I hope I can please give solution to the problem ...
Best Regards
I had a similar problem and I never fixed it on 2.3.5.
The only thing that worked was to install the ICS leak...
This type of problem usually happens when you want to install searet on mearet or similar...
Alright, let's start with the basics...
You need to be careful what OTA you try to install on what firmware. If the phone is an ATT phone then only install the ATT update; if its an international phone, only install the international update.
That said, it sounds like you are getting your firmwares mixed up. If you have an ATT A2, then the MERetail ICS will not install on it. You probably installed the ATT update...
But if your girlfriend's phone isn't an ATT phone then the ATT update won't install on it...
Can you supply the full "E: assert failed" error? What does your girlfriend's phone say under Settings->About Phone->System Version? What does you phone say under the same place?

Damn I have the same problem and it is my GF phone so I am really screwed. I had her phone on the ICS leak 1 and today check for for an OTA not remembering that I had her on a leak, said it was a 43MB xxxxxx.123 to .125 updated, it seem to fail half way during install and the said install software fail. Baseband was gone and it reboot ever 4 min. Update keeps failing. I used the scripts on here to go back to GB (worked) but still same issue. So I used official OTA, 223mb and the update failed and I still have the problem, now sitting on GB 2.3.6

Looks like the update fails with
Updating STE BP
assert failed: motorola.steflash("/tmp/steflash")

Have you tried flashing just the radio.img file from the AT&T version, with moto-fastboot?
That is what I would do in this case. The at&t fxz from 2.3.6 should work and flash just fine using moto-fastboot.
If that does not work, then I really dont know what to tell you, and I am not even sure if you can fxz back at this point, to get an at&t image back on it, just hope that the radio image fixes it other wise you have an expensive brick.

I've tried that and it doesn't workout. Since my phone is still under warranty I'm sending it back to Motorola. I don't see any way to fix this without unlocking the bootloader which we can't do. It seems that the partition somehow got the wrong size or being detected the wrong size. It's too bad that Motorola doesn't provide a whole image or a way to factory reset to a whole image like Samsung and HTC do on most of their phones.

Or will that cause issues? I'd like to set it back to complete stock, but when I tried locking it again it wouldn't start up. So then I unlocked it again, and its working fine. However I found in another topic that I need to flash the old software onto it. Is there a guide anywhere that would show me how to flash stock specifically?
Also, when I was trying to flash a new recovery earlier, it wouldn't let me. Is it odd that I could unlock/lock my boot loader in adb, but not flash anything?

Don't, that is Don't relock your bootloader unless you have flashed back to the correct stock images for your Xoom model. There are threads/guides to do that in General and in Development. But why not just try one of the rooted ICS roms like EOS?
Iv have the 604 usa Wifi only Xoom. I adb the stock file back to MZ604_HWI69 I Let it do the stock updates. I can get to 3.1 then i get the Green Android triangle. Try to do factory reset. Get Green android. Im not rooted. Does not matter if it is locked or unlocked it does the same thing. Im getting:
E: cant open /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/misc no such file or directory
E: failed to mount/ cach no such file or directory
E: cant mount cache/recovery/command
So i would say you can to a point. IM stuck at 3.1 with auto updates. Anyone know where i went wrong or how to fix this?
Try using these steps to get back to stock again. I just did it this morning and its working fine.

To answe your original question, if you are unlocked and running completely stock software (ie, no root, no nothing), you will be able to receive and apply OTA updates.
Every time I try to update my phone it get update failed. I even went to the motorola website and downloaded the file, I put it on root of my sd card and it even failed though that.
I believe its because when I rooted my phone I deleted AABSync.apk and now have no way of getting it back. Would anyone be able to send me theirs or would know where I can get it somewhere online. I already tried to search for it but without any luck. Even after I do a factory reset/clear I would still be unable to upgrade. This is the following I get;
"finding update package...
opening update package...
verifying update package...
instlling update...
verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/AABSync.apk"/ "9909d86764163f3f9095a8d0c0885fab6f91e0cc". "7e642a35c18153501ad5c0c2e893f88ee7d2cc07") E:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7)

Has any of the bloatware been removed? If so, that's the problem. You're gonna have to flash the 2.3.5 fxz first then do the 2.3.6 OTA update.
I have a stock rooted Atrix 2. I rooted it literally yesterday (10/9/12) using the once-click method by jimmy's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327741). I have tried to update to ICS with wifi 3 times already. My last attempt, I unrooted the phone, removed bootstrap and even factory reset it. I still get "The software update failed."
What am I doing wrong here? I know there are a few others who are having this problem, but with all the problems in one single thread, it is hard to find an exact answer.

You had the A2 bootstrap installed? That's the problem if you didn't remove the files from the /system/bin folder.. if it was the A2 Bootstrap from here, then do this:
-Go to manage apps and clear data and uninstall the A2 Bootstrap app
-Go to /system/bin and delete hijack and logwrapper files
-Rename logwrapper.bin to logwrapper (also in /bin folder)
-Reboot

You will need to re-root.. but just being rooted should not affect your OTA install. Also, if you do have root, go and check /cache/recovery/last_log to see why the install fails exactly.

I just flashed back to 2.3.5. then updated to 2.3.6. OTA and currently right now I am downloading the OTA ICS. If flashing back to 2.3.5. then updating to 2.3.6. to 4.0.4. I will try your method. To be honest, I am new to rooting and what not. I have done so lightly in the past, 2 years ago, but I'm back at it.
Okay I fixed it...on the 5th update. After flashing back to stock rom to 2.3.5 with RSD, then OTA to 2.3.6. then finally OTA to ICS 4.0.4! ICS is pretty awesome. I am really happy with it

You will need to get RSDlite and flash the phone again with 2.3.5 to STOCK. Then just update to 2.3.6 and finally 4.0.4.
If you are in ICS leak 2 you need to downgrade "ICS TO GB" with Jim's tool. It has the .bat file to do so in cmd or you can also use the same file and flash with RSD.

^That will cause soft-bricks. DO NOT use Jim's tool if you are on ICS leak#2 or soak test or final ICS (all the same).
If you meant to say the first ICS leak, then, yes, by all means use Jim's tool to fxz back to GB.

Right... and that leads me to another point (not directed directly at you, of course): If anyone who has installed the ICS leak#1 ota package later flashes a ROM from the dev section based on Leak#2 or Final ICS, that changes nothing in terms of the bootloader - and you are still on Leak#1, and you may use jim's fxz/script package to downgrade to GB.

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.

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.

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

Hey guys!
Was trying to solve the restart loop problem by installing a MIUI rom, but I am now stuck on this screen that says..
Stuck on AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Boot Failure)
Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
Invalid CG OTV(CG: webtop): Invalid SP Data
Invalid CG Version (CG: webtop)
Invalid CG OTV (CG: webtop)
Any thoughts or help would be highly appreciated
Did you find the proper fxz for your base firmware and flash it?
Need more info about where you are coming from, what you did to get this problem, and what you have tried..

I am not sure what fxz is...but from what I know, it was on 2.3.6 and next update was failing and it was restarting..so I rooted the phone, installed the bootstrap...tried installing miui from there.. it restarted and now I am on that screen...
Have not tried anything else after that... I was looking around and it seems, I should flash something from fastboot mode? I am currenty downloading the ics fastboot files... planing to use RSD lite to install it...
Is that right approach?
Thanks for your help through...much appreciated.
EDIT: Its an AT&T Atrix 2 if that helps..
So, you were on 2.3.6? The 4.0.4 update failed?
If so, then you should probably be using the 2.3.6 fxz/sbf/fastboot/firmware files - flash those to go back to stock GB, then ota update to ICS the normal way (unless returning to GB is important to you - if so, find ICS leak #1 and install that instead of the ota update after restoring stock 2.3.6).
And yea, you need to be on ICS base to install miui (unless there's a GB version I didn't know about).

Edit: you seen this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32113181
Links to the att-us 2.3.6 and 4.0.4 fastboot files are there.. Just read carefully and ask if you're not sure.
It's important to know if you were on 2.3.6 or 4.0.4.. and if you just tried to install a new ROM (system only) through custom recovery, or if you flashed something else through fastboot.
I was surely on 2.3.6, but it was not stable and was rebooting quite often ...it was also trying to download the next update, each time the phone was on...but it would just restart before the download could ever finish...
I rooted the phone after that, installed bootstrap.apk to get into clockwork recovery, then tried installing the MIUI which was based on 4.xx something .... but that failed and I got stuck in that screen....
So, basically, I should download AT&T 2.3.6

use fastboot and follow these steps?
Fastboot erase system
Fastboot erase userdata
Fastboot update romfilename.zip
Fastboot reboot
OR
Try to use RSD lite instead?
One more problem though...I tried using the fastboot erase system command...and it tells me Battery low...
I have the phone on charger now, but the Fastboot screen comes up again and I am not sure if it will charge this way?
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
You need to charge somehow (wall charger, macgyver method, another battery, friend's phone, at&t store, etc).. It doesn't charge in fastboot mode.
Then try RSD lite..
Otherwise, you would need to use moto-fastboot commands. See the files in the zip package here for examples (you can look at the .bat files for the proper commands): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36834775&postcount=108

So it just reboots at random? Or it boots to Fastboot mode everytime?
If it's random reboots, you might have a hardware issue in your phone.. And you could ask AT&T for a replacement (they will most likely just give you a new Atrix HD since our A2 has been EOL'd).
If it boots straight to fastboot everytime, then there's something else.. not sure what, but I have seen others post of that issue.

It reboots every 3-4 mins or so... Also noticed, it says under settings, that radio if Off and there is no IMEI number...also I cannot seem to turn off the Airplane mode..
Does that indicate something?

Hmm.. Yea.. What the heck did you do to it? Did you erase your cid? Do you have a backup of it? If not, sorry to say, but you may be out of luck...

I was only doing a OTA update and I ended up in this mess of reboots, then I tried installing the 4.something MIUI, then fastboot files of 2.3.6...and now in this mess
I dont have any backup files or anything...if there any way I can go to stock maybe? or maybe if I can somehow manage to go to ICS, this might be fixed? No ideas :crying:

You did go back to stock 2.3.6 (the fxz should have flashed all stock images/files)... but if your cid is gone (not positive though that that is your problem), there's no getting it back (it is specific to each device).
You could try forcing the update to 4.0.4 by following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779968 - but not sure it will install the update if it can't recognize your phone. You are sure it is an AT&T phone, right?
Unless some other members here have some ideas, not sure what else to try... except calling AT&T for a replacement if you bought it under contract. Just tell them that an over-the-air update failed and the phone keeps rebooting..
So, I wonder, did the OTA update start installing, then fail (a while after installation started)? Maybe that messed things up.. Usually, if it fails right away at the beginning of installation during the system checks, then it should be no issue.. But if it was interrupted later during the install, then that can cause major issues.
