2 basic questions. I'm running an atrix 2 right now but have been looking at this phone. I like the way Motorola runs android, and I remember having an epic 4g and I didn't like it. So obviously I don't wanna go stock, is the bootloader locked? And how good are the ROMs that have been released? Any input is greatly appreciated
A far as out community its awesome devs are nice, roms are smooth no major issues. samsungs are easy to root and UN root plus using Odin is super easy if you're soft bricked
I use nexusmod4 btw

unlocked bootloader, and rooting is easy. Good rom support and devs are really good. No ics support as we wait for an official release, but in the mean time work is being done from scratch by jo and others in an aosp release
Sounds good, you guys respond fast too, I like it there's no way to hard brick is there? Lol happened once to me with the first atrix -.-

there's a forum on preventing that though right? I'm guessing it happens if you try to downgrade?

People here are bricking their phones by flashing ROMS for other devices or restoring a backup from a different phone that they saved, and some have checked repartition in Odin which is a big NO NO. That's what mostly is going on here for an unfortunate few. If you read and follow instructions, you'll have a pleasant time.
Edit: Don't feel bad, I bricked an Atrix the first day I got it. I did learn to read more before attempting unlocking BL and rooting.

I have been using miui.for XT701 for a long time。 everything works very well.but I feel very bad after i buy a new Atrix 2 last month. rom for A2 is little。there is no roms such like CM7/9 and miui. It seems that make a miui for A2 is easier.Can any one make one for our Atrix 2 .Thank
you very much.
And Please forgive me for English。
Sorry but that is not possible right now.
We have a locked bootloader on the atrix2 so, there is not a way to install non-stock ROMs until we can figure a way to get the bootloader unlocked. This also applies to AOSP and AOKP ROMs as well. The issue is these all require kernels to run, and you can not flash a kernel with a locked bootloader.
The ATRIX 2's bootloader is locked, therefore such roms as you've mentioned will not be 1) made for the ATRIX 2 nor 2) work on the ATRIX 2 until the bootloader is unlocked. A few simple forum searches could have shed some understanding regarding this, had you taken the time to do so. We're all getting unnecessarily frustrated seeing new locked bootloader-related and ICS/JB threads posted here when doing a little leg work to research on your own before cluttering up the forum would answer most -if not all of your questions. Please read this thread and watch the video (again) so hopefully we can manage to quell these types of things before they get out of hand more than they've already gotten: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778853

Where? You created a thread, but never put any ROM in that thread, in the dev section, plus it was for the ME865 not the MB865.
I will give you a system image, if you can actually produce the ROM and post it in the dev section. If I don not see it in there in the next week, I will hunt you down... JK... I will PM you with a link, but YOU CAN NOT share this with the world yet, we are not quite ready to support this yet.

Transplantation of miui V4 need not unlock bootloader.We can use official roms to make new one.Chinese official MIUI have give a course for us to
make miui V4.But it seems hard for beginner like me to make new one. HTC EVO 3D MIUI V4 is developed like this. And It is to be measured immediately.Only use five days.Here is the picture. perhaps you need Translate it with Google Translate .It is Chinese.
That's all I want to know. Can I flash a JB rom now, and if so, which do you recommend?
I'd rather make a new post than search for the answer too.

It's only a matter of time now until the "Original Android Development" forum really starts kicking. I can not express how excited I am about this.

+1 on this. I have no idea as well.
The original development section are for roms made from google source(vanillaOS) original sh1t if u know what i mean.
the regular development forums are just manufacturer(samsungSTOCK) rom+kernel lightly themed and lightly modded.

invisibleK or dhacker's CM10. Both are awesome.

^ This. Kexec gave us the same capabilities as an unlocked bootloader. The unlocked bootloader just makes things a little safer (still not 100% idiot proof) and could draw outside developers who may have been on the fence due to the bootloader being locked.
I just installed a non-kexec recovery and cm10 from the sticky over in the original development section and am quite happy with it. There were a few hiccups but after a few restarts it seems to have smoothed out.
Just make sure you back up your imei.
Goodluck!
so does this mean once bootloader is unlocked new roms won't have possibility for the lost IMEI issue?
this is the only thing keeping me now from unlocking bootloader

was worried about this too, but just back it up before doing anything very simple in terminal

If you need to restore

I used ez unlock worked perfect, backed up my IMEI, then used ez recovery to flash cwm, nandroided, wiped cache/dalvik/data, flashed CM10 +Gapps ... yesssss :good::good::good: another 535 freed from the shackles

Using your reply here and the guide here I now have CM10 up and running. Thank you! This is the first time I have used a non-stock rom (I came from a Moto Droid Pro, very unfriendly).
Though, the boot animation says Cyanogenmod 9? wat?

Go hear http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/28162-house-of-moto/ install this tool follow all the directions to a T then you can flash full fxz or save data fxz. The nice thing is save data fxz only wipes out changes to the system you made while rooted it doesn't mess with apps or passwords.

I just want to flash an img file to get stock recovery. I don't care about retaining anything. Going to wipe device most likely anyway. This just seems overly and unnecessarily complicated. Flashing an img file via fastboot is simple.

The last update I remember seeing from Hashcode's twitter account said that he was still testing Safestrap for the Moto X to try to work out a bug. I haven't seen any specific mention of the Ultra/Maxx/Mini yet. He did say that the Moto X was his favorite phone to date.

This question will sound n00b ... but I have to ask since I just got my ATT SGH-I497 Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 back from Samsung after blowing it up TWICE trying to install TeamWIN recovery onto it. Can anyone please inform me of the EXACT recovery file that will work for my device? I have tried several and I only have a TeamWIN from MrHyde 2.4.4.0 that works and I want to use a newer version (2.6.x.x) so I can install newer roms. Anyone who can answer me with the latest exact TeamWIN recovery file to flash gets a free beer from me. -smiles-
I realize this post may be sent to the wrong part of the forum but I hope that one of you talented dev's can get me squared away. There are many more ATT guys who will appreciate the newer recovery also believe me.
Thank You to anyone who can point me in the right direction.
