Its been awhile sense I've been here. I'm still running the original ICS leak that came out months ago. Last time I was here we couldn't flash back from it without running the risk of bricking the phone. Could I simply flash a recovery and flash one of the new ROMs without bricking the phone or do I have to do something special to get out of the original leak first before flashing any ICS based ROM?

If you're on ICS leak 1 with a build date of July i guess (second leak has the build date 31 Aug so if this is not your build date then you're on first leak) then you can fxz back to gb.
And btw yes you can flash any ICS based ROM.if you screw up you can always go back to gb and start from there.but once you're on leak 2 there's almost no going back (almost!).and if you've OTA'ed from leak 1 then you're on leak 2.

My girlfriend has the phone and she's with her family ATM 3000 miles away. Won't be back for awhile but I can walk her through on how to flash. Before I do how do we check which leaks she's on? What's the build number between the 2

Go in settings/about phone there you'll find the build number if it ain't Aug 31.you're safe.but you sure you feel safe in guiding your girl with flashing ROMs.Just saying.:what:

Forgive my bluntness but why don't you just flash 4.04 since you did 4.03 without issue earlier?
The only reason I'm not is because I had a rather terrible experience last time I was flashing around and was lucky to get my phone back to stock.

Just got my 4.04 OTA update! installed and working! Finally ICS! (Update from 2.36GB)
I used Odin to flash the leaked version of Ice Cream Sandwich to my Skyrocket back in March. Now that the official release is fiiiinally out, I was wondering if there are any specific tweaks that make the official ICS better than the leaked firmware. I'd like to have the official, but Kies isn't recognizing my device so I'd have to flash the stock ROM and THEN use Kies to update all over again. If there are no notable improvements (i.e. battery life, etc) I'd just keep things the way they are. Any suggestions?
There is no official for the skyrocket

Thanks guys!! Really appreciate the info!
OK guys since there is a large number of users getting update fever im gonna make this as a means to keep the repeats down hopefully you will all read it and understand.
first off if you are on 2.3.5 you will have an update ota to 2.3.6
if you are on 2.3.6 currently there is no update (i will update the op if this changes)
rules you must be on 2.3.6 stock with stock recovery as well no apps frozen or debloated to get the update (op will change if i am wrong)
on 2.3.6 there is a glitch saying that you have an update available it is wrong you will try it may attempt a dl even but you will not get all the way.
so heres what we need if you take an update and meet all these criteria and it downloads and installs and you see in the about phone section that its 4.0.whatever then you can post i will ask whever takes it gets a stock nand preferably unrooted and rooted this will cut down on the number of posts and help the mods ok thank you for your time

2.3.5 must have the glitch also as that's what i have and I get the same messages. It wont even update to 2.3.6 as I believe AT&T is getting their system ready to put out the 4.0 whatever. Whatever the actual case maybe it can not be to far off now.
I was just tired of the same thread 500 times so I decided to try this

Chimaira Android 4.0.4 (Beta2)
Hello All,
I AM REALLY SORRY IF THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED MANY A TIMES.
I am from India and running the OTA android 4.0.4 on my Motorola Atrix 2. The version is a headache and spoils the fun of using Atrix 2. I was very much happy with speed that 2.3.6 gave me. But one unlucky day I got the 4.0.4 update and never has it been the same then. I am frustrated to the point of selling off my device.
So i would like to ask anyone who can help me out. Is there anyway I can go to the Stock Motorola Atrix 2 android version 2.3.6 or is there any other 4.0.4 cooked ROM that works better than the OTA 4.0.4? and if there is, can it be installed on my device? I have not yet rooted my device.
P.S. if there is anyway to go back to Stock 2.3.6, nothing could be better than that.
Any help regarding this will be really appreciated.

Assuming your atrix2 is the Indian version there have been reports of people having fxz back to GB without bricking.but again i don't have the Indian atrix2 (just the at&t version) so i haven't done this personally.
What problems are you having on ICS maybe they can be sorted out by some tweaks/a custom ROM

The problems I am facing is a lot of lag when flicking through screens, slow downs, non-responsive apps, basically ICS is creating too much stress on the hardware of the phone. I like my phone to run smooth and lag free, so pls suggest me if there are any ROM's that can solve my issues, and if i can upgrade to those ROM's on my OTA ICS 4.0.4... Thanks DeveshMainsh

Its super laggy with lot of lag between flicks, apps open slower and the worst part - once my dialer simply would not place a call on pressing the call button!! What use is a phone that refuses to call??
@Opener did u try factory resetting your phone? Did it help?
@Others, please suggest what I should do. I am a newbie too to android modding so I am not familiar with the currently trending mods/tweaks/cooked roms. Any way to downgrade to 2.3.6? If not, is there any custom firmware that gives better performance?

First thing to do after update is factory reset..if still your phone is slow apply the awesome v6 supercharger script..my phone is super fast..

There is definitely something wrong with the OTA ICS update. I did many factory resets after the update and performance was unbearable. It seemed to work fine for a little while after the reset, but as soon as I signed into my google account it started giving me fits. I even reset, then created a new google account and it was the same thing. So I reset again and never signed into my account, seemed to work okay for a couple of days, but eventually it was the same performance issues.
I took my phone into the AT&T service center and they knew of the "issue". AT&T ended up replacing the phone under warranty and now I'm back to Gingerbread, kind of wishing I had a stable version of ICS because I really like it.

yes you can. Just follow instructions. FYI it's a multi-step process.
You will need to get gingerbread and gingerbread bootloaders first. The easiest way is to use Odin and wipe the phone to install gingerbread with root and CWM. Several ways to do this though.
Then you need to flash CM9 or some kind of ICS.
Then you can flash any Jelly bean rom from there.
You can not flash directly from 2.1 to 4.2 unfortunately.
Odin will work fine,but many of the Odin flashables do not contain GB bootloaders. Here is a helpful thread of Heimdall one clicks that do contain GB bootloaders. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
