You can not install BMM on a CyanogenMod ROM (CM10 has another custom recovery built in). You will need to find the FXZ/fasboot files for your device and return to stock and start over (or just flash the system.img only).
Also, it helps us help you if you give more information about your device.
See here for your FXZ probably: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
Also, see here if you don't want to use RSD Lite and for the system.img only script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36834775&postcount=108 - make sure you read and edit the files for your region's FXZ (I made that based on the AT&T ICS FXZ files).

thank's .
now i have an hard brick only white led
so i sell my phone or i search a another

You sure? You should be able to if you have a white led.
Have you tried pressing vol+ and vol- and then power on?

White LED usually means hard brick on this phone..
He can try charging the battery in a wall outlet.. But sounds like a brick. How did this happen?

That is a hard brick for sure.
It appears that you flashed a GB FXZ over ICS, you can NOT do that with this phone. Once you are on an ICS kernel (that is what cm 10.1 requires), you can NOT go back to GB. Flashing the GB image over the ICS one bricked your phone, because it tried to flash the GB boot loader over the ICS one, and Motorola set this phone up to not allow that, and will hard brick the phone.
As for your other question, you can buy a used A2 on Ebay or the like and get one with a broken screen and put the mother board into your phone case and use your screen. If you are not handy, then I would say go grab a used Google Nexus 3 (GNex), from ebay or something like that.

hello
thank you for the answer that's what I thought hardbrick.
My question is are what I just install the backup of my a2 on the new or should reinstall it all.
little do we run an ad because I have a atrix hardbrick super condition for sale for parts nickel screen no scratches and is in good condition photo on request.

Atrix 2 ics leak #2 stuck on cm10 boot!

Okay, so here's a long story short. I flashed AT&T ICS leak #2 when I first got my replacement due to a brick. I ran SCV7 for a week or so and decided to try out CM10. I restored my backup of stock/rooted backup. Uninstalled highjacks, packages and app (bootmenu) itself. I then installed our OG A2 bootstrap, installed fine, installed CM10, played around with it for awhile. Realized I didnt reinstall the OG A2 Bootstrap so went ahead and did that. (without booting into recovery yet) I then later in the day decided to REBOOT my phone to only find me stuck on the CM10 boot animation. I battery pulled, plugged in to see if any recovery would show, none, just the battery charge percentage. I then battery pulled again, got into stock recovery, tried a data and cache wipe to no effect. My problem is, there is NO FXZ for the AT&T leak #2, I have no recovery besides stock and the only thing I can do is take my 32GB SD card out and add/delete files/everything. I saddly did not make a copy of the system.img but was wondering if anyone else possibly did? This would be greatly appreciated as I am stuck with a soft brick until then or a new FXZ to work with AT&T leak #2. Any suggestions or help is very much appreciated. Thanks all for reading and I'm praying for a miracle in my phone right about now lol!

Hey, and sort of welcome back...
But I hate to be the bearer of bad, bad news... you have a softbrick, and there is NOTHING you can do.
Next time, read everything in an OP... LOL, look who I am telling this to....
The CM10 installs come with their own CWM built in, and flashing bootstrap is what bootlooped you, so after you get another warranty replacement (yes, you HAVE to do this), I would install leak #1 ONLY, then flash cm10 with bootstrap, then do not reinstall any boot hijacks or CWM "like" recovery (bootmenu), because all you have to do it hit the vol down button right as you see the blue led flash during the M dual core logo.
Or enter the CM10 recovery menu and so on and so forth.
This is how I got out of a cm10 boot-loop.
I just restored from bootmenu backup via adb.

I will get with alteredlikeness and see if we can possibly think of something together on this one. The first thought would be to try an mearet/searet fxz for 2.3.6 since they can fxz back with out any mods to thier 2.3.6 or 2.3.5 fxz from thier ICS leaks, but I am thinking that will still brick you, but interested to see anyhow.
So I will see if alteredlikeness and I can think of some other way to try. He or I will PM you either way.

You know, I was seeing in recovery how youbcan flash an update through sd AND system which has a lost and found folder and recovery folder. Dont know if this is of any info but either way because I wouldnt know how to put anything in system since I cant seem to get adb to recognize or moto-fastboot...I'm in a very confused state of mind and almost came to the point of hard brick but I refuse. I'll leave it up to ya devs. Thanks againg everyone.

[Q] TWRP + Clockwork ...now hard bricked?

Hi Guys,
I have a Verizon SGS3 with stock JB 4.1.1 and I was following the steps posted here ([GUIDE] Root for Jelly Bean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 OTA ***UPDATED 3/5***).
I got a little distracted and flashed both TWRP(1st) and Clockwork(2nd) but I still managed to successfully get to step 5 and root my phone and unlock boot loader.
Then I used clockwork and tried to install the liquid smooth 4.2 ( wiped cache and memeory etc) and after the rom installed and I selected reboot, and my phone was hard bricked. ie not response to any key and black screen, so no way to reload or restore anything. of course it was at the point I realized my mistake of flashing both.
I am going to JTAG the phone today, but I have a few questions,
My questions -
-was it because I had both TWRP and clockwork that caused this?
-if yes, how do I get rid of TWRP?
-I only want touchwiz and non of the other Verizon bloat, can you recommend a good stable rom.
thanks
What you have failed to realize that you don't have both recoveries you overwritten one when you flash the other. Believe it or not most if not all of Touchwiz ROMs are stable. The mistake came from the flashing of a custom ROMs as you failed to mention whether or not you have flashed the right Gapps for the ROM.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I did not flash gaaps. I thought I could do it after I got the liquid smooth 4.2 on it. Are you saying that I needed to flash the gaaps first before the liquid smooth?
Not flashing the gapps wouldn't "hard brick" your phone. You just wouldn't have the Play Store, Google Music, etc. OP, are you sure you're hard bricked? Because it's really difficult to hard brick this phone. The only way I've currently seen people HB their phone is by flashing something for the international S3. You can't get into recovery or download mode? Buy either holding Volume Up, Power or Volume Down, Power?

none of the button combination have any response. I tried removing battery and waiting 5 mins and reinserting but nothing. My battery was at 80% when I flashed the liquid smooth and bricked it. When I plug in to the PC, the USB drivers no longer load so I cannot use ODIN.
I am out of ideas. Anything anyone can help would be appreciated. thanks

Alright alright this is what you do. If the phone isn't hard bricked (which it may be since you flashed a GNII rom) you need to either try to boot into recovery (hold volume down and home at the same time, then hold power. When it vibrates, release the power and hold the other two until you get recovery) or ODIN (odin is the same, just hold volume up instead of down). Report back if you can boot into these and I will assist from there.

You have the button combinations reversed. Volume up puts your phone in recovery mode, volume down puts it in download (Odin) mode.

You can find them all here on xda. Just browse the Android Development and Original Android Development forums for the Verizon Galaxy s3 only. You'll find AOSP ROMs and all kernels in Original Android Development and Touchwiz ROMs and mods and other stuff in Android Development. Don't flash anything that isn't made for the Verizon Galaxy S3

Not that I know of besides xda and rootzwiki, just be more careful. When you download roms always look for the download links for "d2vzw" roms or that specifically state "Verizon GSIII" when the link isn't immediately on xda. Typically AOSP roms are the ones with multiple multi-carrier, multi-device download links so always check and re-check after downloading zips.

When I get my phone back today, I have decided to flash the Bean ROM. I read the instructions and have one question. What does STEP 1 mean when it says "pick the locked version?" Does he mean pick the locked ROM version? If someone can explain briefly it would be appreciated. thanks
Install Instructions:
Step 1-
Make sure u are unlocked or pick the locked version during flash
Step 2-
Wipe all(factory reset and davlick wipe) if coming from an old build
Step 3-
Install the Rom
Step 4-
Reboot and Enjoy! after first boot reboot if youre using a custom ui and not the stock one(fixed soon)

He's taking about your bootloader. If you chose to root and unlock your bootloader when you rooted your phone, you get the regular rom. If you chose to only root and not unlock then your bootloader is locked and you must flash the locked version.

Oh, long story short that's the ICS rom that he created in July. From July-August, we had a locked bootloader, which is what he's referring. Thi meant flashing roms required something with a Kexec boot sequence, but once the GSIII was unlocked in August his rom and every rom presently available requires you to have an unlocked bootloader.
That said, when you get your phone you will need to:
1) root
2) unlock the bootloader
3) then proceed from there, whether that's backing up your IMEI or flashing a rom, etc.
I thoroughly suggest his JB rom since there's active development on it. Beans JB rom was updated last week and has "Build 15 [04/21/13]" in the title.

Not sure about the shop thing but in the instructions for flashing that rom it says you must be unlocked. Which means you must have an unlocked bootloader. You do this by flashing SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip in recovery. That zip file is recommended for flashing when you're following the root guide and they have a download link for it.

Quoted from the op in the NUMA thread:
"!-!-FOR ICS 3.0.8 KERNEL ONLY-!-!
BASED ON OFFICIAL AT&T 4.0.4 ICS (but will also work on non-at&t)"
If your firmware is 2.3.6, then you didn't follow the instructions in the op. You can't flash NUMA on gingerbread. You have to be on ICS. That is why you are having problems.
Does the volume down button not work at all? If it doesn't, then I don't know what you can do. If normally it does, turn off the phone completely then press power and volume down at the same time to boot straight into fastboot mode.(what you're describing is not fastboot mode, that's the boot mode selection menu) Then flash your FXZ, update to ICS and try again. NUMA is well worth the effort IMO.:thumbup:

Yeah, you flashed over GB, which could have even hard bricked you, but I doubt it. your gonna need to get the down button working so you can at least get into fastboot and reflash.

Damn, seems i messed that up. Itd be nice if it said something like "DO NOT USE ON YOUR PHONE IF IT CAME INSTALLED WITH 2.3.6" or something along those lines for those of us less familiar with the Kernel versions etc.

Do you have a custom recovery installed? If you do, try to get into that and restore the backup you hopefully made before you started tinkering. If not, you'll have to flash the FXZ that is for your phone's model.

Got it, but the phone is no longer rooted. I can't find a guide to root a phone that has been flashed with ICS. Any suggestions?

[Q] Atrix 2 help!

Hi guys!
I tried searching for a similar problem that I have but wasn't able too. So I need your help here.
So I lost my CID, didn't back it up so was using bptools for it when I was on JB leak3.
1) I flashed CM11, 4.4.2 dated 14 Dec after flashing gapps, it removed my recovery and was bootlooping
2) I reflash the same leak3 which used to work earlier using RSDlite. Now the rom isn't booting i.e. it is stuck in it's "pumping logo".
3) I again try reflashing using RSDlite, only this time, it fails and status is shown as battery low in fastboot. Now I connect charger, it boots, stuck in the white screen which is expected since I lost my CID.
So, does this mean that it's charging? If not, am I screwed??

If fastboot says low battery then u cant RSD.....
Google Mcgruyver method or externally charge ur battery....( ie if you get a white led )
If your in india it shouldn't be a problem finding an external universal battery charger in any cell shop....

Thanks for your reply buddy!
But it was charging even when the screen was white. So now I'm on JB leak 3. Any idea why did my recovery uninstalled automatically?

Dude if fast boot says low battery RSD wont flash it............whether or not it was charging with a white screen
So u have to externally charge the battery
And from what i know u can't flash ICS once ur on the JB leak ie u can't downgrade so u will have to flash the same leak again......

BMM can be like that sometimes. There are a few possible ways that it could've happened. As long as you make a backup before trying anything, and have RSD lite and your FXZ handy it shouldn't be too much of a problem. It's more aggravating than anything else...

If he was getting the "pumping" Motorola logo boot animation, then he was only boot looping so he was able to charge the battery. The battery would've only been an issue if the phone was booting straight into fastboot, or if it wouldn't get past the boot logo.
Also you can downgrade from jb to ICS, just not from ICS to GB.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

Hey!
IDK what was I thinking but I flashed pa 4.4.2 gapps on CM11 by altered and BOOM! Lost recovery and bootloop.
So I re-flashed leak 3 it's now stuck in boot animation("pumping"--again what was I thinking lol!) meaning a softbrick. Why is it happening? I mean is it a bad flash?
Or does it have something to do with leak 3? If so, I can't seem to find ics fxz. The superthread links are dead. My another question is-
Will I be able to us AT&T fxz? Since I've already lost my CID, it shouldn't be a problem right?
PROBLEMS PROBLEMS PROBLEMS!:silly:
Also, can anyone give me the link for asian version of ICS?
EDIT- Was able to boot! went to stock recovery, wiped data and cache partition. Thanks for help guys

If you ever want to use the JB leaks again, DO NOT flash the AT&T FXZ. Just a forewarning just in case you get stuck again and start considering it.

OMG you're right! Never thought of that! Thank God I acted patiently here. I was gonna flash AT&T ics just before trying that wiping data thing!
Thanks! Will keep that in mind.
One more question though(and hopefully the last..)
Can I flash PA Gapps on slimkat? Since both are based on AOSP right?
i guess i've a problem . by mistake while i was supposed to backup cid , i chose the option erase cid and it s deleted, no backup either. now whenever i reboot, my phone shows some error. since i've bmm i am being able to load into ics in system 1 . is there any possible way to get rid of this error message about cid during startup?? because it is really annoying.

Am I most certainly hard bricked?

1) Was on stock 4.04 ICS
2) Rooted the phone
3) Installed Bootstrap recovery
4) SOFTBRICKED by trying to install a Kitkat based rom (Liquid kitkat ) using recovery.
5) So apparently Liquid Kitkat rom was installed..........and was SOFT BRICKED
Got Motorola logo then blank screen
6) RSDLITE failed to flash FXZ Gingerbread InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285.zip
This part failed on the reboot (I understand now this was a no no)
QUESTION: Would FXZ 4.04 ICS have been fine for fixing this with RSDLITE?
........ Now nothing will come up...will not turn on.........
no button routines will turn this on.......
the only light that will turn on is the white let when the battery is removed and plugged into pc.
So is this pretty much hard bricked without a way to DIY fix it?
Thanks.
Try the following link to recover your device
Hi,
Refer this link by which you can get your device back to working....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36834775&postcount=108
It needs FXZ file to be flashed to ics again. Then root and enjoy custom roms.....
As per my very little knowledge it is safe to use boot menu manager (BBM) then Atrix Boot strap.....
Please let me know if the above think works for you... It worked for me .....

Won't work. ...... my problem is the phone won't turn on.......cannot currently enter fastboot or any boot option..........hence possibly "hard-bricked".
Thanks anyways.

By the name of the FXZ file, it seems you have an AT&T Atrix 2. Sorry to say, but your phone's hard bricked by downgrading it to GB from ICS.

Thanks for the reply. Didn't I effectively try to go from Softbricked "Liquid Kit-Kat " to Gingerbread?
Since I installled Liquid Kitkat CM11-based.......(which softbricked me after trying to boot that )................would the ICS version of FXZ worked properly?
In other words, did I need to use a kit-kat based FXZ to recover from softbrick with RSDLITE?..........or just ICS?
Thanks

There's no official Jelly Bean for our device, let alone KitKat and hence none of the respective FXZs. So, yes, you should have flashed ICS FXZ in order to recover from the soft-brick.

Have you tried the method in the link given.....?? Even my phone was not booting at all... When I switch on there was no changes seen on the screen.... But it was getting recognized in PC as USB device connected.... I was able to run the bat file mentioned in the link and to my surprise it was recovered.....

You might be having International version of Atrix 2 or you might be on ICS Leak or GB, and hence you could recover your phone.
Downgrading an AT&T Atrix 2 from ICS to GB is 100% hard brick. Read around and you will get information on more such cases.
You had 2 mistakes:
1/ Use Bootstrap recovery instead of BMM to flash kexec ROMs
2/ Flash GB instead of ICS when the phone (AT&T) has already been on ICS (deadly mistake)
Hi. hard brickIn this way the device is to survive
Issue Solved??
Did your problem solved? If not you could give it a try the method I told you..... Mine is an international version... I downloaded FXZ for retail asian.... My phone was not at all showing anything when I click power button..... So if you tried all options you can give it a try...

You are not hard bricked. Your battery is very low hense the white led. You will have to straight wire the battery. Red+ Black- i brought mine back like this. Make sure u are using the correct fxz to.
