I think the Rogers/Fido Jelly Bean OTA update broke the recovery. Your best bet is to flash the stock firmware using RSD Lite.
Here is the post to find the stock firmware based on your location:

I'd avoid doing a factory reset even after flashing the stock firmware. If the is running slow, try disabling some apps.
Root for 4.1.2 is available here:

With a rooted phone, you can freeze some systems apps using Titanium Backup. Here is a post that lists all apps that can be safely frozen.

thanks you for the help and im sorry for the late reply its been pretty crazy at work im going to try this tonight and hopefully it all goes well once again i really appreciate the help

no good
i attempted to flash the phone but i kept getting a failed flash i took a screen shot of the RSD LITE ive read everything over and over and im not sure whats happened tempted to just break the phone and move on lol

What's up,
So here is the deal,
For whatever reason, RSD lite does not like the <get var> command in the XML file you used to flash the stock rom. You have two options:
1) Open the XML file in notepad and remove any lines with a tag labeled <get var> (I think there's two in there)
Or...
2) Download a utility like Matt's or my own, which does the work for you. In mine for example, you go into fast boot mode on your phone, and press two buttons in the utility, and presto!
You're gonna need to do some exploration to find the threads with the utilities in them, I can't provide links since I'm on my mobile, but generally look in the "Razr HD Original Android Development", you should find a couple.
Cheers!

Look at Mr. Parkinson's reply. Step (1) is your best option. That's exactly what I did. There are two <getvar> lines. Delete those and you should be good,

[Q] Return AT&T Atrix 2 to Stock (2.3.6)?

I am having the same problem with Contacts and with process com.motorola.contacts force closing that many others are having. I had rooted as well as uninstalled bloatware (instead of freezing, yes, I know!). Tried unrooting, reinstalling Yahoo and AT&T apps as suggested, factory resets, everything. Contacts still acts the same; that is, I can get to it but can't edit individual contacts nor get to Contacts Storage. I think it must have something to do with AT&T Address Book, which won't reinstall (says not supported but was there before).
At this point I just want to return Atrix 2 to its stock, 2.3.6 configuration and start all over. Can anyone help me, or is that not "out" yet?
Follow the instructions on flashing the 2.3.5 FXZ listed here (the beginner's guide) and then use the OTA update to get to 2.3.6. Next time make a CWM backup before you try any ROMs! It is inevitable that you'll eventually get stuck in some sort of boot loop.

I will try that. It looks pretty complicated...I'll be studying for awhile!
It's not hard at all! Just follow the instructions listed EXACTLY and make sure that your battery is well charged before you do this -- if it dies during the middle of something like this, you could run into a tricky problem.

It's alot easier than it sounds....and im no pro. I was able to successfully flash 2.3.5 to mine that way the first time around following the instructions in the noob thread.
Atrix 2//RebelROM//Tapatalk 2
so let me get this straight....
I had 2.3.5 rooted. I accepted the OTA update to 2.3.6, so naturally, it un-rooted me, although the superuser is still there. I tried the one click method for 2.3.6 after it came out, as I am a total NOOB and was afraid to try it and screw things up. That doesn't work. I tried to unroot it using the same method. Also didn't work. The superuser is still there and denying permissions.
Soooooooo, I have decided to do the FXZ method in the in the noob/general forum. I'm still unclear and afraid about how to do it. Am I supposed to go through the first 11 steps, then do the "replace" step that is added as a note? Speaking of the added note. It says to "move all the the items in it to the stock fxz". The "stock FXZ" is what i downloaded and did in step 1-11, right? I have searched the forums and this was the best place I could see to ask. Sorry for my extreme NOOBness.
Thanks in advance for helping, or just taking the timpe to read my post!

Unzip the stock fxz and copy the extra files into it. Accept any error it may give you. The open rsd and click the "..." Button and find the fxc that you modified and then hook your phone up in Detroit and hit the start button. Should be golden after
Running AtrixBlaze 3 on my Atrix 2.

Downloading FXZ as we speak. i will give an update as soon as I try it out! Thanks again.
IT WORKED!!!!
As the title states, it worked. I downloaded the fxz, replaced the files, ran it, the re-rooted after everything came back up. Then I did the OTA rootkeeper procedure and now I am about to takt the ota. Will let you know if anything goes wrong after that. Thanks again for all the help and encouragement.

I just wanted to be sure that I wouldn't lose root again if I ever get another ota. If the motto fail incorporates that, I wasn't aware.

[Q] unbrick blaze

Hello,
I'm truly hoping someone can help me. I spent all night installing new roms on my phone. Ok let me back up. This is bout the tenth phone I've rooted. I rooted my blaze about 2 months ago using a one step(I think can't remember.) I never really installed a custom Rom until last night. The first Rom I installed was cm10, which I liked. Only problem was I couldn't mount my sd card because I am no where near a computer. So I decided to install the baked Rom. I was ecstatic to find that everything worked. However, the cm10 Rom seemed to be running at the same time. I found that very weird. So I tried to figure out a way to get the cm10 off my phone. For hours I tried wiping and reformatting different things from recovery. My problem is the last time I rebooted my blaze out wouldn't go past the Samsung screen. I've tried all combos of the volume up down and power key and it never goes past Samsung. I'm assuming I've bricked my. It will show the battery charging screen. 1st it'll show the stock screen then the baked screen for charging. Please help me. I've searched xda for help and can't find anything to help.
Ps. I'm not at a computer now but please list help for when I'm able to get to one. And yes I've only gotten about 3hrs of sleep in the last 20hrs from messing with my phone.
Sorry for posting in development first meant to post here.
Odin to stock uvlh5. From sammobile.com/firmware
Edited... because I speak without thinking
^ what he means is download the stock ICS ulvh5 firmware from sammobile.com/firmware for the blaze/sgh-t769 and flash it on Odin.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
Thats why I have the sammobile firmware and odin on a backed up. I've tried to learn from my mistakes well that's what I have learned a lot here hahahaha
Oh i remember reading you are not around a PC a lot... you need a PC for ODIN sounds like you can't get into recovery so PC only other way I know of. If I helped push thanks

Atrix 2 ICS update failed

Hello, I'm new to these forums and I have tried to find a helpful answer to my issue but cannot, so here it goes. I have an Atrix 2 thats running Android 2.3.6, the phone was rooted with SuperOneClick last year. I updated to 2.3.6 OTA and had no problems at all. The ICS update is out I cannot get it OTA. I can download the update then the phone restarts, it appears to start installing but then stops and a triangle with "!" appears and the phone restarts. Once the phone restarts it says "Update Failed".
I have seen several others with the same issue but I do not understand how to fix it. And I am not sure if my stock ROM has been modified either.
I would greatly appreciate some help, I don't understand what I've done wrong here, Motorola says its because the phone is rooted, I've un-rooted it with no luck...

usually updates fail when bloatware or some other stock apps are removed. I believe the best way to get ICS on your phone is by flashing FXZ. But first we need more info about your Atrix 2. Is it an AT&T branded one?

You do NOT use odin on moto phones.
Please take a look here, it will explain all of the ins and outs that you need to know.

Updating to ICS on an AT&T phone even without the bloatware is very easy, just flash the ICS FXZ for AT&T, using the latest version of RSD lite.
AT&T ICS FXZ:

You will need to find RSD lite from moto on your own though, as it has been posted in the dev section a few times, and we do not usually link to the moto site since they are like nazi's over there about XDA.

Agreed on the Mot-azi. Im banning them after my next upgrade. A bunch of pigs they are.
On a much more positive note, thank you for making it easy. Ive been away from the android community for the last few years, but man has it grown! Im lovin it. Now only if we could get some better suport from the big app companies.
Has ubuntu ever been attempted in the atrix 2? Now that would be marvelous!

I have it running on my "dev phone" (Galaxy Nexus) right now, and it is nice, but a ton of things are not working yet, so I would not advise trying out just yet. I will try and get it working for the A2 in time, but a few things need be addressed first, mainly that it takes 500+MB of /system space, and the A2 is limited to 475MB in /system, so.... in getting it working, it is a meld between CM10.1 and the ubuntu UI on top of the CM 10.1 device files and drivers, but... to get the 100% real thing ported, will probably not be possible since the a2 has a locked bootloader, and the boot.img is very important to the ubuntu phone os, so.... we will see as time goes on, if I and others in here can get working on the a2 in at least the hybrid with cm10.1 format.
Also you do know that the webtop included with the A2 in 2.3 is ubuntu, right? I have a hack to get all the ubuntu stuff running in webtop, if that is something you might be interested in, but it does not work in ICS. That is why I stayed on leak 1 and never went to the official ICS version, so I could go back to GB for webtop when needed.

I updated mine the day it came out and I had a terrible time with it. The FXZ was not available at the time so I had ATT give me replacement phone. I used 2.3.6 for a little while, then I updated it again. This time though I did a factory reset before updating and everything went great. So I'd recommend doing a factory reset before updating and maybe you will have better luck. Or do as Jim suggested and flash the update yourself with RSDLite.

One other thing that's completely off subject, One thing I don't like about this forum there are too many restrictions regarding spam...although I understand it needs to be completely filtered and not allowed the admins have too many restrictions on this forum. Why should there be a restriction were a new user has to wait 5 minutes between posts? That makes absolutely no since. (BTW thanks to the admins for the 5 minutes between posts I had to kill, I got to mention this)

As long as it's an ICS FXZ, then yes.

I guess you did some tweaks with it like installing CWM. You remove it and files associated with it, you can take update OTA with no probs (i was through it and finally could take the update like a noob ). An fxz would be a much easier choice.

No, RSD is not showing its connected. This error occurs before I even open RSD lite, I have tried opening RSD and then connecting the phone still windows keeps looking for drivers that it never finds.

Maybe uninstall/reinstall the Moto drivers. Also, which version of RSD lite are you using? I think 6 or greater is recommended.

[Q] Looking for help AFTER using Odin

So I have recently tried to recover an old Infuse 4g that I had laying around. I've downloaded and successfully (I think..) used Odin3 v 1.70 to get the phone working.
I'm not sure if I did something wrong, or maybe there was something I didn't do. Either way the phone now turns on, I get to the lock screen and can't do anything from there because the screen blacks out, also the button lights are still on after about 10 minutes.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I haven't found a helpful thread on the forums yet but I am still looking.
As long as the device works as a phone, making calls, sending texts, I don't really care what methods are used to get it functioning.
Thanks in advance for any help
EDIT::
I might be making progress... I can get it to unlock for a brief moment and it shows the quick start guide from the stock ROM (I think that's the right term, still new at this) but before I can do anything it does a little buzz, reloads the lock screen, and repeat process. Still unable to do anything on the phone
Battery just died so I'll just let it charge for a bit before I try again.
Alright.. I've installed gingerbread 2.3.6 from the link provided in option C of this thread: xda-developers and I can now open the device from the lock screen. It gives me an error code for literally every app quitting unexpectedly, and will continually re start the lock screen.
Screen goes dark > Lock screen comes up as if I have just turned on the phone > Repeat
Can anyone help me out here? I'm glad to be making progress but I'm sure there's an easier/better way for me to be doing this...

So I have recently tried to recover an old Infuse 4g that I had laying around. I've downloaded and successfully (I think..) used Odin3 v 1.70 to get the phone working.
I'm not sure if I did something wrong, or maybe there was something I didn't do. Either way the phone now turns on, I get to the lock screen and can't do anything from there because the screen blacks out, also the button lights are still on after about 10 minutes.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I haven't found a helpful thread on the forums yet but I am still looking.
As long as the device works as a phone, making calls, sending texts, I don't really care what methods are used to get it functioning.
Thanks in advance for any help
EDIT::
I might be making progress... I can get it to unlock for a brief moment and it shows the quick start guide from the stock ROM (I think that's the right term, still new at this) but before I can do anything it does a little buzz, reloads the lock screen, and repeat process.

Try going back to Froyo. This thread has links for both AT&T (UCKD5) and Rogers (UXKG3) stock ROMs. Good Luck!

Sounds like your are flashing for the wrong kernel. Do you have an i997 or and i997R? Can find out behind the battery.
If it's i997,you should be good to go with the UCLB3 ROM (AT&T), but if you have i997R you will need UXKG3 (Rogers) kernel.

i997, but I was not aware of the difference so that's good info too. Thanks.
Glad somebody saw this thread, I was starting to think there was no one here for the infuse anymore

Alright, Froyo works. I used the rooted version in that link you provided. But I might go to the regular version, because my messaging app continues to fail when I try to open it, and I can't sign in to any of my google or facebook accounts. Is that a problem with the way it was flashed, or something else?

just put the phone on a higher form of andriod mines currently running 4.4.2 Beanstak and you might have flashed it wrong try in the privacy and factory reset the phone and hopefully that fixes it

Not sure what's causing your current problems but GTG's Ultimate Unbrick always works for me. Link in my sig.

Ok.. a word of the wise.. NEVER use the privacy menu to factory reset the phone. It can be very temperamental and can soft brick your phone and is just so much more trouble than it is worth if it decides to boot loop.

The link to the zip he provides takes you to a download for the Torch browser.... Anyone have the actual zip?

[Q] Please Help me! Phone won't complete reboot

I'm lost.... Phone is stuck at the red electric eye animation. I can so a hard reset, actually did that several times, but the phone always stops in this animation. I haven't changed anything in a while other than downloading an app to reboot the device with one touch. The Phone is unlocked and rooted, but nothing beyond that.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
David
I've never seen this before. Usually only happens on bad recovery installs, ROM installation, or other flash. The only thing I can recommend is a flash of the stock image with RSD lite.
Wait for some other replies though.
Thanks, i would definitely have to research how to do that.
I can get to the boot menu, but all options... recovery, fast boot and factory all get stuck at the electric orb/eye animation.

If you can't even get into recovery, then definitely it means it's time to go into fastboot mode and flash a stock image back onto it.
You can get to fastboot mode by rebooting the phone (or powering on) and then immediately press vol down + power and that will get you into fastboot mode where you can use either RSDLite or House of Moto tools to flash a stock image back onto your phone.
That seems to be the only recourse.
OK, downloading RSDlite and installing now. Im in AP fastboot flashmode on my phone. I have the latest device drivers from Motorola installed.
So, this whole finding and flashing new image thing is beyond me, i will search for it, but if anyone has an easy explanation, i would greatly appreciate it.
Edit: Ok, i found the correct image to flash. I'm assuming that it is the complete OS? if that is the case, I'm going with the last version where I had almost double battery life. Am i on the right track?
So basically you are going to download a 700mb stock image. Go to http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=5 for that download. That will be what you are flashing

Thank you so much Sad Panda!!!
I'm flashing 4.4.2 instead of the last version I was planning on. It's in process now so I'll know soon.
If this works, then I will look for a custom rom without all the bloatware and other garbage. I suppose this failure has made me do something that i have always been too nervous to try.
I know that asking questions without searching is frowned upon, and I get that, but having someone to interact with is very reassuring.
Again, many many thanks to you for your time!!!!
Not a problem. I have a question out there right now waiting to be answered, so it's appropriate for me to give back

IMHO, nope, no real reason if everything is working well.....there was a security fix however.
