here's my story - i bought the atrix2 (MB865) in the US but now i'm in Malaysia. i tried updating to ICS4 via the phone but it always prmpt saying its already the latest update. my friend has the same model which he bought from Malaysia was able to update. i email motorola USA and they said the model that i have is actually a south american model. ok... so i got con.
i checked the south american motorola website and ics4 was released in september 2012 to only certain carrier :good:. so it's very unlikely that i will be going to south america and pick the right carrier just to update my phone.
question now is, is there a safe way that i can update to ics4 without screwing up my phone and if YES, pls can you show me how. much appreciated to everyone who can assist, cheers.

Go to settings...About phone. Scroll down past legal info and take a screenshot and post it here.
Well, there are 2 "retail south america "meixico" firmwares that you could try and flash and I am pretty sure these are not ICS though, just the standard 2.3.5/6.

UNefon network:

Again, sorry to say that these are NOT ICS, but you might be able to flash them and check again for an update, just in-case your firmware is NOT 100% standard/stock. Checking for updates on a non-stock/100% standard rom tends to not find the updates.
And there also may not be another way to get the ICS update if youre not on the network that the phone was originally meant for, since it would be theirs and motorola's joint firmware on a server connected to that cell network (usually).
And Since we do not have the firmware on this site, you really do not have too many other options.
This is the site with all the MB865 atrix2 firmwares:

You can take a screenshot by pressing the power button, and volume down button at the same time. Hold it for a second then release it. I wouldn't worry about the screenshot though. I would follow Jim's advice on this one.

Hey guys,
I need to update to manually update my nexus S to 4.0.3 with the available update (128MB) file. My main concern is that i dont know which version i have (means whether it's I9020T or I9020A etc.) I bought the unlocked GSM version from Best Buy US on the very day of release during my visit last year and the box had T-mobile SIM in it as well. Currently I'm not in US and my Nexus is running stock 2.3.6 unrooted with baseband: I9020XXKF1 and build no: GRK39F. Now please can someone tell me, can i go on with the update through the process mentioned here:
http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-update-your-gsm-nexus-s-ice-cream-sandwich
And will it give me that "recovery backlight" or "no service" or any like bug, experienced by many of the users????
The version should be on the back of the battery. Or on the box it came in (on a tag with bar codes if I remember correct).
Then just find the proper OTA for you here on xda and follow the procedure you posted.
Oh and I don't know about others but I never had a major problem. Just a couple of times the android OS kept the phone awake for a long time.

Yeah there was a Tmobile sim in the box and I9023 is for the SLCD models, right? And i'm sure that i have an SAMOLED version. So should i go on with the update??? I am tired of waiting for the updates but i'm reluctant because of those recovery and no radio after the update bugs.

The code is not on the battery. It is on the phone, UNDER the battery. I.e. remove the battery, and check the samsung sticker.

Thanks mat, got it. It's GT-I9020T, so i think it's safe to update it manually... Will try it tonight.
BTW there arent any issue or problems after manually updating it, right???

I updated Manually after I revived the OTA update but wouldn't install (my guess is due to Google throwing on the brakes) and have had no issue. If you Download the OTA zip from XDA you will have to re-root as the offical update will lock the phone again.

Interesting I came here on the same mission, to find out if it was safe to update mine.
I removed the battery and it borrowed my Dads glasses to read the label, it definitely says modelno: I9020A
I didn't actually buy mine, it was acquired by purchasing at work for a developer project, but its unlocked, didn't come with a SIM and I've used it with my t-mobile SIM back at home in the US, but I'm currently using it with great results, including USB tethering with a pre-pay O2[UK] SIM.
So which version/model does this make my phone?
Hi,
Can any one tell me the AT&T Motorola Atrix 2 can be upgraded to the official 2.3.6 ( XWKL1 )? I just got this phone for my wife and it comes with 2.3.5 and I don't think AT&T will release 2.3.6 any time soon plus I bought the phone from my friend after he claimed the insurance ( he lost his previous A2 ) I don't have no data plan so I won't be able to get the firmware update through AT&T.
I upgraded my Samsung GS 2 ( International version ) to XWKL1 so can I upgrade my wife's A2 with the same FW through Odin then?
I will be really appreciated if some one can help me to answer this?
Might wanna wait a little because it may be updating sooner than later, hopefully. I have the Atrix 4G and just got the SOAK notice. Gonna flash fruitcake and see what they send out...
You guys might want to read where you're posting this.

Ummmm...no. at best, Odin won't recognize the A2 BC Odin is meant for Sammy devices. At worst, if it does recognize your phone and you flash the SGS2 firmware to the A2, you will most likely end up with an unusable brick.

Atrix 2 will probably be getting 2.3.7 pretty soon. Stay tuned.
By the way the atrix 2 gets OTA updates, not usually from a file that you flash to the phone. You will usually get a notice on your phone that an update is available for download, and ask you what to do, all wireless.

2.3.6
Hey guys,
Motorola and at&t released the 2.3.6 upgrade for teh Atrix 2 today (February 2nd 2012). Just go to settings > about phone> software updates for an OTA upgrade... u need wiFi connection though (its 58 Mb)
hopefully we also get ICS whenever it comes out!!! Maybe MOtorola hasn't forgotten the A2!!1
it keeps telling me checking for available update please wait forever
Note :- i unlocked my mobile (sim unlock ) and using it outside of the USA with a Vodafone Sim .
Maybe that's the reason?
I am testing it over wifi not data
Root
Will updating remove root access?
Yes, if you don't take steps to preserve it. Do a search or check the DEV forum for the details.

Flash the FXZ and revert back to stock, probably the easiest way to get it.

What ROM are you currently running? I would recommend flashing the 2.3.5 fkz's rerooting, and then using forever root. Then try using the OTA update. Or you could wait until lfaber06 incorporates this into his SC ROM which will make things a LOT easier.
I am on supercharged v4. I will do that and see hat happens.

Hello! I restored my Tab 7 plus using ODIN and the P6210XXKL2_OXEKK1_16G firmware found in the development forum thread, but now Kies does not see any firmware version? Is there any way I can fix this, so I can push updates via Kies? Thanks in advance!
Under "About device" it shows Build Number HTJ85B P6210XXKL2 and Kernel version 2.6.36-P6210XXKL2-CL583761 [email protected] #3
Also, I updated to the latest version of KIES, but still nothing.
# days ago updated the firmware and "killed most of my apps.
Somehow the update while connected to my PC, when finished, most of my apps stopped working ( force to close). Had to reinstall them all.
I have the same problem except for im on kk3... Not sure if thats the most recent but it was the only stock firmware i could find with a working download link.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using xda premium
Yeah, this is a serious bummer. Anyone know what the most recent firmware version is?
Anything new on this matter? I'm in this position also now...
Edit found the password to the US retail one.
I believe the "LA3" is the most recent update
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yes I realize that now. I managed to download the US retail firmware package in the dev section finally. Took me a little while to find the password for it to decrypt it though... But all is good now!
Hi, SGT newbie here...
I believe I may be in the same boat here, I bought a "manufacturer refurbished" GT-P6210 off ebay and later discovered from Samsung Support that they don't do refurbishments.
The device works fine but the main reason I got it was to run it with ICS, and of course the firmware version is not recognised in Kies.
For what it's worth...
Kernel version: 2.6.36-P6210UEKJC-CL567728
Build number: HTJ85B.UEKJC P6210UEKJC
May I ask the assembled masses here what the best way forward here is? My guess would be to learn how to root the device and then put an ICS update on that is released from this very forum?
Cheers!
David
no ICS yet, hang tight should be ny the ned of the month/start of April.. we are all hoping.
yeah, best bet would be get Odin (for windows) or Heimdall ( Linux & Mac )
find latest firmware either in development thread or sammobile.com, follow instructions and flash.
Aha... I tried the Samsung US Support live chat thing, I assumed they wouldn't mind a poor Englishman in London talking to them.
It turns out that you don't need Kies at all, they will push the updates out "OTA" if one is connected to a network via Wifi.
Do you know it took me nearly two minutes to work out that OTAS mean Over The Air ?
They said "in a month or two" for the GT-P6210 though, bummer.
I assume that the ROMs and stuff in these hallowed forums are kind of like what you do when you buy an off-the-shelf PC, ie: you spend the next day stripping all the crap out and then making a nice clean and optimised ghost image for future deployment? Or am I barking not only up the wrong tree but am in the wrong forest too?

Hi Zadeis, Please I would like to get the link for the US Retail Version because this is affecting me as well. I bought my Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 (Wifi Only) off Amazon in a very good working condition, however I tampered with it and had to re-install it with the P6210XXKL2_OXEKK1_16G version. Now Kies doesn't show my firmware version and I can't perform any update.
I would like to get the link for the US Retails version as well as the password you that mentioned.
I also want to backup my tab before re-installing it. will it backup all my current configurations, apps, settings, files and the like?
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks.

This one is not a US firmware so that might be the problem. This did confuse me before.
I'm sick of being treated like dirt by Motorola, and will never buy anything from them again.
But for now I'm stuck with my Xoom Wi-Fi, unable to upgrade to ICS because Motorola doesn't give a stuff!
Is there a way to change my region settings from Australia to US?
I'm guessing if the update thought I had a US Xoom it would update it for me.
Sorry to hear that man. Not sure about changing regions, just root it and Install the latest ICS 4.0.4 Custom ROM.

You'll need to register (free) as a Motorola dev to download the US Honeycomb image from their site, or just download it from somewhere else. Then once it's flashed, your device will update itself via the official OTAs all the way to ICS 4.0.4.

You just formatted, nothing else? And you are able to boot into BMM? Then I think that is normal thing which we do while flashing ROMs, just flash the ROM now.
You can flash the system image alone from fxz folder using moto fast boot tools..just search up xda..

Is this possible, didn't know about it.
Actually my Atrix 2 doesn't get recognized on my windows PC and in case if something bad happens with me then I will be left stranded at nowhere. So this in-phone capability is handy for me.
Then another problem is that the new download links are confusing, I am not able to figure out which FXZ ROM to download, mine is Indian Atrix 2 (MB865).

LOL.. Now enjoy the good old days for a while.
IMO best stock ROM for the Atrix 2 was GB with MotoBlur. Everything was interlinked and connected to each other and phone was smarter. Few of the features in that interface were ahead of it's time and many new phone advertise few of those features these days as USP. The stock music player was intelligent, though we can get similar app at play store also. Mine phone came with motoblur and I equally loved and hated that for its features.

For windows you have to install Motorola Device manager and rsdlite.. flashing using fastboot and terminal is easier once you have adb and fast boot tools set up..that's what i do in Linux..can be done in windows too..

Actually the phone isn't getting detected in RSDlite, thats the problem. Otherwise phone connects with PC for normal file transfer tasks. Camera and MTP drivers are also installed automatically.
But if you have done that in linux then that is also good news for me. Please post the procedure, I also have Linux Mint on my laptop which I would love to use.

Thanks for reply but the download links in that thread direct us to elsewhere and the names of download files are different than what are mentioned in that thread. Thats why the confusion.
The redirected location is here : http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=17
Can you please point out which one is correct for India retail MB865 ?

Thanks a lot for pointing out.
To be safe from any further confusion, I am putting the full description written at the site :
Blur_Version.672.1.18.MB865.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03 Retail Taiwan 320.9 MiB 43D340E9F4087754BB54B9F2718E843E
I hope this one is correct. Please confirm the MD5 written above in bold and underlined.
BTW My phone is "Made in China". Does that have anything to with?

not that one.....
this one
Android 4.0.4
Blur_Version.672.1.18.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03 Retail Taiwan 320.8 MiB EAEE7B95377EE5C5E00C7F3E713C2F54
I doubt it has to do anything with it being made in China....I'm guessing that its named as Asia retail since India comes under Asia.
