Hi i am new at this and would appreciate some help. I upgraded my atrix 2 with the final at&t ICS and hate it. I found a thread here for going back to gingerbread.
[UTILITY] Return to GB from ICS fxz script -- Now includes 2.3.6 fxz 09/26/2012.
Does anybody know if this will work for the upgrade from AT&T?
My phone is rooted and unlocked.
I would appreciate the help.
No it wont work. Once you are on official ics there is no way to downgrade back to gingerbread.

What he said and would like to add that if you try going back to GB you'll hard brick.
If it bugs you so much try a custom ROM there plenty of them (numa,swifty trix,scv7,cm10)..
And this belongs in Q&A not here.

did you tried factory reset after updating to ICS? Since you are rooted you can restore the apps later....I seem to get more battery than GB for sure..

Why? You're gonna end up in the same place either way. It's as if you got in your car to go to work and there was a detour sign... you'd take the detour right? You wouldn't just turn around and go home, that'd be silly.

Yes, very. Don't mind your brother, he's just that mad that the Shift has CM7
I'm gonna be honest, im a idiot and never did a full wipe, i just did basic wipe, Wipe dalvik cache, cashe, and data/system once and installed the rom i wanted and off i went. That was the main reason i had soooo many damn issues with roms in the past. With doing the correct way now thanks to a few guys showing me the right post, i would say either CM7(the new one 7.1.0) or Nightlies.
I normally am a sense UI lover and refused to get rid of it. but the new update on ASOP im addicted to it. i love the new ring lock system, and everything else like battery life and amazing speed with either scary or v9.

the phone is so much more smoother now and lot of the lag is gone. but thats gingerbread for u its a much better os than froyo. i loved the phone before but love it a lot more now. this is what android needs to from there phones to show how much faster they are than iphones and keep them UPDATED thats a big thing.

Running stock and unrooted until T-mo/Samsung release ICS for this phone.
I rooted my previous phone (Exhibit 4G) and got rid of the T-mo bloat, can't wait to do the same for this phone. Only reason I haven't rooted is I worry something may interfere with the OTA update whenever it's released.

HA! Me too! On both counts! Got rid of the exhibit and got the blaze instead. Never got voicemails on that undeveloped thing. It's too bad as besides the voicemail issue I had it was a solid phone.
You should be able to get an OTA update even rooted with CWM (it is still the stock rom after all) - but you may end up needing to download the zip and do it yourself. It shouldn't be too hard to find the zip here on XDA for the stock release once it's out. I actually prefer doing it that way- it's faster -as with other devices I've owned the OTA update wouldn't go through until 3-4 days after its release (sensation 4g, streak 7). I have rooted and got CWM on my phone and removed the bloat and LOVE IT.
Coming from a 1st gen Exhibit 4G makes me thankful that so many great devs are actively developing for our Blaze. Thank you!
I still come to wonder.. What happened to the guy who was building a ROM before the blaze even released.?

This is for those that have ran both. Have you noticed any significant differences in the two, aside from being able to flash back? My wife has been rooted stock GB and hates changes and wondering if I would be better putting her on the first leak or allowing the upgrade. I ran SCV7 before switching to my SGS3 and found no problems with it. Having never used the second leak, would like some feedback from those that may have ran both. Thanks
Bump.....
The second leak(official) is more stable with less bugs. I have gotten better battery life as well.

Not too worried about being able to go back for her phone. Once ICS is installed and rooted, she'll be happy. Just curious if there are any significant "improvements" between the 2 versions.

If you are not into shuffling between ROMs or tweaking i say go for the OTA you won't regret it.

Well it's not that it's going to be hard it's just that if you run into some trouble you can always fxz your way back but with leak 2 that it's not the option as there is no fxz for ICS as of now.however recently a few people(including me) have been able to recover from a soft brick on leak2.so really it's a matter upto you.you know the risks and the upside.

Why not stay on leak 1 and just flash one of the roms with leak #2 system? That way you get the best of both worlds.

Totally agree with you. Until there's an FXZ for leak2/official OTA, I'll stay on leak one and flash away. I've already had to use the 2.3.6 FXZ and it worked perfectly.
going to bump this thread if its ok. Now that Official ICS has been out and running for a bit, what are your thoughts on it versus the original leak.

Just keep in mind that some phones had some strange issues after the ICS OTA, and were only corrected by doing a FDR.
