While flashing with odin (stock rom) , it was stuck in the middle ..Waited for longtime no progress so took off and retried flashing nothing happened..
If i go to cwd mode(volume+up) it says me "encountered problem while updating firmwire, use kies to do recovery"
Now what can be done?...Please help...Is it totally bricked ?,any other options can i try./?
just boot in download mode (VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER) and flash FW again it will be resolved just with that.

Flash stock ROM again using ODIN by going to Download mode as said by xlm13x ...
Download the china stock ROM, it has all the three files the pda, modem and the csc. It also has the pit file. Flash on ODIN.
Once you do this your phone will definately boot up. Once this is done you can flash any country stock rom through ODIN.
It also happened to me once and the thing i just mentioned worked for me. So 100% sure on this.

The kernel version you quoted contains 'XWKI5' which is the code for Indian stock firmware.
For using Neo ROM you'll have to flash the XWLA (European stock firmware) on your Galaxy R & then flash the Neo ROM 3.0. And yes you can flash the stock firmware of any region it'll be compatible & won't create issues as long as you're flashing stock ROMs by Samsung for Galaxy R.
Do update here on how it goes.
Hope this helps

Yes you can reflash our Indian stock 2.3 5 ROM anytime you want, reset your custom firmware counter & claim warranty for your handset, be careful while doing the same cause if you screw up / miss some steps then you could loose your warranty.

Kernel v 1.8.3 is compatible with XWLA4 / XWKI5 (There could be some bugs with XWKI5 but there's no harm in trying as long as you follow the steps) can also be used with Neo ROM.
Try the newer version of his kernel here, it has been improved a lot since then: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787454
Before you start flashing any ROMs & kernels I would suggest you to read all the threads stickied in the Dev section, FAQ's & How To's in my signature below, if you haven't already done it & don't forget to take a nandroid backup.
It is to understand the various steps you need tu know to go about flashing kernels, ROMs, etc & also how to clear the counter to claim warranty.
Cheers !

Yes for Neo ROM, u have to flash Stock rom of XWLA4 via odin.It will not affect anything but u need to wipe data after flashing. So take a backup of all ur data and then flash it. Apart, it wont affect anything buddy. Yes u can revert back to Indian stock rom at any point of time.
And with kernel, Neo ROM by default has ardatdat kernel 1.8.1 and so u will get that kernel when u flash Neo ROM. After that u can flash ardatdat's kernel 1.8.3 as it has RAM hack and its better than its prev versions. Yes u can upgrade, better to say u can change the kernel at any point of time. Have a Happy Flashing.

1) Rom manager is not compatible with Atrix 2. I would not use it. Why do you need it anyway??
You can use Atrix Bootstrapper to go into CWM recovery . Rest can be done there. Or you can use Boot Menu Manager.
2)Of course! it will still be there! the backup is saved on your SD Card. So as long as you don't format your SD Card. It will be there.

Rom Manager does work with Atrix2. If you're on Stock ICS, you can install CWM on every boot, then flash the Bionic recovery through Rom Manager. That will allow you to use the 1 touch backup in RM, just hit backup rom and everything does what it's supposed to.
Here is the CWM on every boot for Stock ICS.

when i restore to stock fom JB, it means downgrading the firmware right??

No, your Recovery will be wiped after you flash a new rom, but you can install it again and restore your ROM.
But when restoring a rom, make sure you ARE ON THE ROM you are restoring.
E.g. If you flash JB and want Stock ICS back with your backup. First flash the Stock ICS from RSD and then restore your backup from CWM on it.
Or Vice-Versa.
@41rw4lk, Thanks for rectifying that. I did not bother with Rom Manager much.

I don't think any recovery exist after flashing a new rom. We have a locked bootloader, so we can't replace the stock recovery.img, all of our recoveries hijack the boot process to work. CM10 and PA I believe have a built in recovery, and that's about as close as you'll get to having a recovery exist after flashing a rom.
As far as restoring from JB, I believe you can downgrade to ICS, but you'll have to look at the JB thread to be certain. I'm on AT&T so I haven't had an opportunity to try JB (officially). CM10 is based on JB, but for our phone with the locked bootloader, it's more of a pseudo experience and is based on our ICS framework.
As for bricking, there is always a chance to brick, that's part of the mod game, but if you read and pay attention to what you have and what you're doing, you'll be alright.

UNLESS you have AT&T phone you should be just fine with ref lashing the ICS.
YES. there is a big problem if you are not on a ROM you are restoring.

You need to use the CWM on every boot setup, the Atrix2Bootstrap alone won't do.

Yes. I will say though, if you're on an AT&T branded phone with AT&T firmware, do NOT try to flash the new JB FXZ. It doesn't matter who your carrier is, it matters what firmware your phone is using. So, if you're on AT&T then you need to make sure that the things you flash are for AT&T, or else you will brick and that will be then end of that.

CM10
PA
Numa
MIUI (had battery issues, but I think they got it all worked out)
there's a few, you'll just have to look. Most of the time, if something is not meant for AT&T, the devs will post in the description that it isn't compatible. If you want stock ICS back at anytime, you can do yourself a favor and make a backup of your stock ICS all setup the way you like it, so you can restore if needed. If all else fails, there is an Official ICS FXZ that will get you back to stock ICS.

You're killing me smalls. You're on ICS already, you're not downgrading anything, nor can you downgrade ie. Gingerbread. There is no Official JB for AT&T, so that's not an issue. CM10 is a JB based rom built on an ICS frame, (for our phone at least), and again, you're not downgrading.
To make a back up, boot in to CWM or whatever recovery you're using (not stock), and click backup. You might hit up the noob thread to get an idea of the terminology and basics for our device. Not trying to be rude, but you're running yourself in circles. You got to walk before you can run.

Well first thanks for answering ..!! second i want to downgrade because when updating to JB the gyroscope stops working .. and it wont work on some apps ... im will try this ics rom if i dont like it im back with JB thanks for the answer!
You might just try another JB custom ROM, if its JB you want. I'm on ViperXL, and was also briefly on stock rooted JB, and haven't had any gyro problems that I can tell.
Of course ICS is solid too, and in my opinion, the changes in JB are not that significant (and not worth it, if its causing you problems). Flash any ICS custom ROM same as you would a JB custom. No need to downgrade hboot or anything (as you need to do on some devices, if that was what you were thinking).
Make sure you've done the following, regardless of whether you flash an ICS or JB custom:
Factory reset in TWRP (not in hboot, as it will corrupt the SD)
Wipe cache and dalvik
Flash ROM
Flash boot.img in fastboot, if needed for the custom ROM
Don't restore any system settings or data using Titanium
Cool I found my answers here as well. Patience in reading helps lol. Thanks all

Can anyone tell how to flash permenent cwm recovery i have bricked phone thrice because i cant take backup of my rom please help
Since sony phones don't have recovery partition, you wont have 'permanent ' recovery..
But you can flash a split kernel, with recovery in it. Then you will have recovered as long as you don't flash a new kernel, or return to stock.

You surely can use the likes of X parts or such apps to get temporary recovery however for a permanent cwm -the only solution remains to flash a custom kernel(.img file extension)
Then you'd not have issues doing the flashing stuffs
