V4 is outdated. I recommend you to use v6. You can examine backups with that too, you just need to set the backup format to tar. dsixda's kitchen can handle it.

it's batter that you don't install the rom if you don't know anythink.. it's batter that you wait for a stable relase ..
but if you want you can make it :
1 root your phone with cf root.. find it on the android development theard and follow the instruction ..
2 install any custom rom based on gingerbread aviable for your gingerbread version.. for example if you are on xxkpq install a rom based on xxkpq but not cyanogen or miui...(they are based on 2.3.7)
3 flash the alpha 3 on the rom... (before you make it wipe data and chace)
if you want backup your apps and games make it after the first step(when your phone is rooted) with titanium backup...
hit thanks if i helped you ;D
Hi...
Thanks... but I heard so much about it. Can't resist it. Anyways I have to start some where...
I wanted the details like how to install custom Rom for gingerbread and same way for dhirus custom Roman...
Thanks for your post.
1 more thing why I need to install the same version as you said ......
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA
to install the xxkpq(you can see your actually firmwere in settings-->about phone) you have to go to the android development and there is a theard with all the firmweres there you can download the xxkpq version and flash it with odin to flash with odin you put it in the pda of odin but if you serach it with google i'm sure you can find some more specific guide in your language

[Q] GT-5113 Stock Firmware

Hi,
I want to know if there is any way to restore my tab to stock firmware? I can't find any links for GT-5113 ROM.
The reason to store the stock ROM is that I have installed CM9 on my tab and now I am unable to install Infected / Cleanrom. It hangs on Samsung boot screen after installing these roms via CWM.
Thanks.

As you realized AFTER the fact, creating a thread in development means you have something to offer to others,
not asking questions. FYI: I stopped using CM9 ROMs a long time ago because they frequently contain MANY
hidden bugs, only work properly when loaded with certain kernels, certain CWMs ... bottom line is you're
just one of the latest victims. Try a factory reset. Then ODIN the CWM in my Root thread. Then install
the ORIGINAL v1.0 CleanRom. It's the best of current custom ROMs and NO, we still don't have a stock GT-P5113.

The only problem with ODIN at the moment is that you can't reset the flash counter, I already have it at 3

When you flashed the 5110 rom, did you have a problem with the language (Mine is currently in a foreign language)?
if so, when you flashed the Clean Rom did your tablet revert to the proper language?
Thanks
You can restore to stock using my guide. (link in signature) It should now be in English.

You need to flash one of the two kernels listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Kernels via SGS Kernel Flasher which you can download for free in the play store. Then you will have to flash cyanogenmod 9 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730954. After flashing the gingerbread kernel and then flashing the cm9 ROM, you will be able to flash the ROM you want. Follow the instructions on the threads according to the kernel or ROM. The Wiki is always the best way for answers.

Update to Android 4.3 from 4.0.4

Hello,
I have searched the Motorola Atrix 2 forums for a guide/thread that will help to update my Atrix 2 to Android Jelly Bean.
I have the Cyanogen downloaded along with the required Gapps. This is one of the links that I was referring too.
http://ndroiding.com/motorola-atrix-2-mb865-update/
Now, I have the following questions;
1. How do I root my MB865? Currently I have ICS 4.0.4 (AsiaRetail) and the phone is unrooted. The ICS update was installed OTA.
2. How do I take a backup of my current ROM? I have installed ClockworkRecovery MOD (ROM Manager). The one that I have installed does not support MB865.
3. We have multiple OS(say Win7, WinXP) on one laptop and we boot whichever OS we want when we powerup. So can we do that for our
phones too?
I was referring this xda thread.. and I felt that the information given there was a bit hotch-potch. Also, this one might be old.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650&highlight=root+atrix+2+mb865
Can anyone post the latest thread if there is any?
Also, there is a request to the moderators of the group. Please collect all the guides and post them together in a separate section (If it's there then sorry.. I missed it).
Thanks

That link what you posted is a custom ROM & did not look much in to it beyond that. First up everything I am posting is for non AT&T device. Be informed that our device does not have a direct fxz for JB 4.3 & what you need to do is go to the developer section & d/l official Moto stock (leaked unofficially) JB 4.1.2 then fxz via rsd to your current ICS phone (obviously you got to read all the steps, drivers,usb debugging enabled etc etc). This gets your device on JB 4.1.2 official and then install Boot Menu Manager 0.3.4 (search development thread again) & thereon read extensively on working of BMM and that point forward you are free to install any Jelly Bean 4.3 custom rom's. Good luck.

So you are on stock ICS and your phone is not ATT... You need to download jelly bean official leak 4.1.2... Install RSD lite on your windows and then install jelly bean rom . To install official jelly bean 4.1.2 , you dont need to root your atrix 2. I have tried this rom and its good.
and if you want to try 4.3 rom then you should try PA 4.3, it is good.
your second answer about rooting- I used swapper method for rooting because one click root method did not work for me.
3rd answer- Yes you can multiboot your atrix 2 for that you install BMM ( boot menu manager ) ... hope it help

Hello,
I have searched the Motorola Atrix 2 forums for a guide/thread that will help to update my Atrix 2 to Android Jelly Bean.
I have the Cyanogen downloaded along with the required Gapps. This is one of the links that I was referring too.
http://ndroiding.com/motorola-atrix-2-mb865-update/
Now, I have the following questions;
1. How do I root my MB865? Currently I have ICS 4.0.4 (AsiaRetail) and the phone is unrooted. The ICS update was installed OTA.
2. How do I take a backup of my current ROM? I have installed ClockworkRecovery MOD (ROM Manager). The one that I have installed does not support MB865.
3. We have multiple OS(say Win7, WinXP) on one laptop and we boot whichever OS we want when we powerup. So can we do that for our
phones too?
I was referring this xda thread.. and I felt that the information given there was a bit hotch-potch. Also, this one might be old.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650&highlight=root+atrix+2+mb865
Can anyone post the latest thread if there is any?
Also, there is a request to the moderators of the group. Please collect all the guides and post them together in a separate section (If it's there then sorry.. I missed it).
Thanks

Hey even my friend having atrix 2 . We both tried one click root method on 2 different Pc and laptops but we stuck on boot logo... So we use swapper method, I also suggest you to check that method. But it depends on you.. which one you like :good:

That link what you posted is a custom ROM & did not look much in to it beyond that. First up everything I am posting is for non AT&T device. Be informed that our device does not have a direct fxz for JB 4.3 & what you need to do is go to the developer section & d/l official Moto stock (leaked unofficially) JB 4.1.2 then fxz via rsd to your current ICS phone (obviously you got to read all the steps, drivers,usb debugging enabled etc etc). This gets your device on JB 4.1.2 official and then install Boot Menu Manager 0.3.4 (search development thread again) & thereon read extensively on working of BMM and that point forward you are free to install any Jelly Bean 4.3 custom rom's. Good luck.

How many times are you going to ask this question? Do a little bit of reading for yourself and you will find that the bootloader is not unlockable. Also, if the op of the ROM says to install gapps, then install gapps. Just follow the directions, it's that simple.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

Weird, you're the first I heard who has complains about Neatrom (did you try to install the lastest 6.8 version?)
Anyway, the process is the same for all custom roms, the only different is that philz recovery was updated from 6.7.9 to 6.14.5

i have tried with the philz 6.04.5 which u had suggested for me while in my inquiry for my phone.well shortly today i got frustrared and tried installing the neatrom v 5.7 for samsung galaxy s2 gt i9100 well it was a wooping big file almost 738 mb but that also installed as per ur instructions and read aurthor sale post on how to install but now the problem i am facing is after completely installing everything the first boot as per the neatrom v 5.7 aurthor should be around 10 min but for me it jus shows the neat rom animation screen again and again and the phone jus keeps getting hot from the back i cant seem to get into the main screen well looks like i m done for i guess
the steps i followed for the neat rom v 5.7 (4.1.2) instalation are
1-copied both the neat rom v 2.8(4.4.2) and v 5.7(4.1.2) zip files ,gapps (AIO_gapps.4.4.2.build.2.1), philz_touch_6.07.9-i9100,zip ,CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100,zip files to the sd card
2- flashed odin v 3.09 with file PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSZ-OJC-5.15.9.tar,md5 and got philz recovery installed
3- then installed philz_touch_6.07.9-i9100,zip from sd card to update philz touch recovery to 6.04.5( it shows the 6.04.5 after updating)
4- the wiped system clean for new rom installation, wiped cache, wiped delvik cache form advanced settings, formatted /system &/preloads from mounts and storage
5- installed the neat rom v5.7 (4.1.2)and it installed everything
but at the first reboot it jus keeps flashing the neat rom circle animation and that it jus keeps flashing that again an again i waited for like 25 min on that screen and then felt the phone heaating up from the battery back side on my hand so i switched it off completely
i dont know wat steps i did wrong or did i miss something i kept reading through all the various post and cant seem to get a solution for it
is the philz touch recovery 6.15.4 compatible for the galaxy s2 gt i9100
plz if there any solution for the problem i m facing plz i need some advice

Flash the lastest 6.14.4 from here: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100
and try again after wipe (you're doing anything as should).
Few questions:
Does Neatrom installation log mention any errors while installing?
Maybe you should try to disable neat's boot animation (possible as part of the aroma install)
Are you trying to install this version: http://goo.gl/qRDYgf ?
If still no go, describe your actions at aroma installer, or try asking at rom's thread, perhaps they'll better aswers.
BTW- does kitkat version work as should?
