[Q] downgrade motorola atrix 2 to stock 2.3.6 from OTA 4.0.4 - Motorola Atrix 2

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

I have the same problem with my AT&T Motorola Atrix2. I upgraded it OTA 4 days ago and it is VERY FRUSTRATING!! 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..
Sent from my MB865 using xda app-developers app

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.

Could always get on ICS leak #1. If you not satisfied, can always go back to GB. From ICS leak #1 ONLY. Leak #2 and OTA CANNOT get back to GB. You'll only end up with a brick.

at&t users ICS update thread

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
Bump I wont let this get burried

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

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.

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)...

[Q] New OTA Update

Got the new OTA update this week on Skyrocket on my rooted phone. It will down load but when it reboots to install it starts up in in Clockworkmod screen so does not Install. What can I do to install update????
Please search the forums before posting nonsense. You can't receive OTA updates using a custom recovery. You need to be stock. Odin back to stock ICS and then try.

Go to Here and return the device to complete stock (unrooted) form then apply update... remember, if your happy with your device the way it is I wouldn't bother
Thanks Guys. Sorry about posting again before I read other posts of the same. Will just leave it as is till Jelly Bean comes out as one of you suggest. Thanks Again...
I also got the OTA show up on my phone. I do not intend on unrooting and installing at the moment but am curious what the update is for. Anyone know? ATT of course has nothing on their site.

new OTA update
I also received an ota update this morning. The only reason I had my skyrocket rooted was so I could try out the jelly bean roms. restored to stock and now my phone is telling me that the software is up to date and wont let me get the ota again. Does anyone know how I can get it to show up again. By the way I am a noob with this kind of stuff

Why are people in these forums so rude to someone who is just asking a simple question? Because I would like to have my GS2 on a full jelly bean firmware that's not buggy and that is not ICS. I've tested the full jelly bean on another device and it is a lot smoother and definitely better in all aspects than ICS. In my opinion anyway.

This isn't a jellybean upgrade tho. Its just some enhancements and a new modem to ICS.
So, I don't WANT the upgrade, but Device management keeps loading up and won't go away unless I hit the home key. It keeps popping up and won't be satisfied until I download the upgrade, which I do not want to do. Is there any way to turn it off?

How is that rude? I asked why you would go through the trouble to get such a minor stock update. This isn't jb, man. It's a maintenance update. Chill out

JB hasnt even officially been released for the Galaxy S3 and the chances of SR getting it before S3 is 0.004855% and there is no "official" word on if its even going to come out for Skyrocket yet alone if ATT will go through with it. They did say Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE but that can also mean just the international version or whatever.
Remember it has to go through Samsung then ATT.
Your best bet for JB right now is the AOSP based ones.

He's not being rude, that was a legitimate question. I would ask the same. And trust me, a small update like this one wouldn't be JB. Sad, but you can get that idea out of your head. Besides, I'd scream if the SR got official JB before the S3
Stock ICS on my S3

I believe it's called device management. Freeze it in tibu

Some people like me just like to be up to date on software, but I see your point, there really aren't any noticible features in this update.

Yep, I'm fully stock with the update and I definitely noticed an uptick in speed.

[Q] US AT&T A2 soft bricked while OTA and another question

hello
well to make it short i bought the atrix 2 from the US early when it came out and then i came to Dubai and all the annoying bloatware for AT&T have became more annoying by (NOT WORKING) when i was leaving i called them and they gave me the unlock code so im using the phone in Dubai, UAE and its working great, im on Victory Rom (Best rom ever) clean and elegant.
---------
now i found there is official ICS firmware for UAE Retails and it has the same number as my phone MB865 so my question is: can i flash that firmware to my AT&T phone ? and incase that is not possible, if i want a clean ICS ROM (made from the official OTA update not the leak) where i can find it ? and lastly if all is not possible what is the cleanest quickest and best ROM and will it work if i update to OTA ICS ?
sorry for taking too long and Thanks in advance
----------
that was what i wrote earlier but now i tried to do OTA and the phone stuck on the dual core technology screen so im thinking to Fxz but i dont know if i should do it for GB 2.3.6 or ICS ?
thanks a lot

To be very honest with you and AFAIK no one had tried to fxz to ICS from GB.but in theory it should work.
But this is what I'll suggest fxz to 2.3.6 and try OTAing.it should take you to ICS directly.

Ok so get this very clear if you phone it's AT&T one(it has AT&T written on the bottom) then you can't flash any other firmware.your only option is the AT&T firmware( from here).
And there are lots of ROMs that you can try.
StockyEd is pure OTA version of ICS.
Others are Numa, swifty trix ,scv7.Also we have CM10.

glad to see you coming here when every ones leaving.. if you need any testing feel free to pm me.. I own an asia retail a2.. thanks again..
This build could be used to improve other ATRIX 2 jb. Anyways nice to know that someone is developing for ATRIX 2 now.
I have an Asian MB. But recently flashed ME to get MIUI working properly. I could try and flash this.

Waaa !!!?? Is this for real ?!
Anybody flashed this on an AsiaRetail phone ? Bugs ?! Screenshots please..
Can we fxz back to ICS from this ?!
Someone please post screenshots.. Good to see you back wanggjghost.. :good:
It is awsome! And the roms with jb (cm10, paranoid, etc) Will an improvement? Change with this news? If I install CM10 on this official jb, what happens?

If anyone on AT&T gets this to work and can post screenshots and an explanation of the steps they took only then will I try it. But great find nonetheless! Can't wait to see the devs tear this one apart and use it in their existing ROMS, will provide some great advances and bug fixes.
this is awesome :good:
thanks a lott wang :victory:
we hope you'll develope something best from this
lookin forward to see how it goes
Somebody try and post the flashing method and weather its working on Asian ones

This is pretty good.. flashed on searet from India.. no bugs so far but just a couple of force closes which happened just once.. what you need to watch out for is that there is no root for this as of now(or at least I didn't find one so far).. some say can't downgrade back to ICS.. haven't tested that yet.. overall worth it..

u have me865 or mb865? is the flashing process any different for mb865?
I think for Retail Asia (mb) would work well. I have flashed China and HK Retail (4.0) and have always worked well.
There is no way of rooting yet?
To come back to ics, you can flash the firmware of ics with rsd?

I have a mb865 bought in India.. no issues flashing and running HK versions or china ones.. haven't yet tried going back to ICS.. will let you know tomo.. there seems to be one root method in RAZR dev forum.. but it seems a little risky.. will try that after my exams..
Edit: I am not getting a GPS fix..
I had this prob with official miui as well, but others did not.. so it might just be me..

Anyone tested yet?
I have a MB865 atrix, but i've installed the ME865 fxz to run MIUI.
Can i install this? And, works everything?

I doubt it. Some people are going to try though. I Wouldn't recommend trying it if you are on AT&T. It clearly states in the OP that if you have AT&T you could brick your phone,
