Sadly, I haven't found anything related to unlocking the bootloader in the boot image.
This is the fxz for the chinese ME865, one would be crazy to flash it to one's american MB865 (though I would be interested in the results )
Shouldn't it still work even though it is the Chinese FXZ. Although you might need a translator to work your phone right LoL

it should still have the languages though
Yeah I was just joking around about the language LoL. But with all said and done right now we would flash using RSD lite correct. Could this be made into a flashable zip that we could use with our bootstrap?

I thought the bootstrap wasn't flashing things properly?
It's not a big deal for me to read Chinese....lol
After all, It's my native language.....
But under the setting part should have language selection...
Thinking about flash it on my, Cuz AT&T version doesnt have Chinese display. That made some of my apps can't work right
Anybody flash it yet? I'm restraining myself from doing it, because I feel there's a chance it may have the unlock for the bootloader, If memory serves me correctly, it was from a leaked China based firmware for the ATRIX, that revealed the unlock for the OG ATRIX. I maybe mixing it up with the Photon, but who knows.

With the original Atrix there were some issues with international builds not commpatible with USA builds, and there were some bricks along the way. There were even bricks with trying to roll back firmware after the gingerbread update. Patience for me, I am not ready to brick mine.
You can flash just the boot loader if interested... I would but I am working on another bootloader hack to break the current bootloader open, or I would flash just the bootloader, that is one thing that can be tried.... Who still has time on their 30 day return left, that wants to try this:
using the android SDK run the following using the boot.img from this Chinese image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then boot into the boot loader with holing the volume down buttom while powering the phone on
Then
fastboot oem unlock ( this should give you output that gives your id )
fastboot oem unlock #### ( the ####'s are the uid you recieved from the command above ).
Then reboot the phone. You may have to erase your userdata with:
fastboot erase userdata
Hopefully you won't have to do this...
This might be worth a try.
Attention: Chinese users have got a newer 5.5.1-1_GC-90_EDISION-6 (offical update)as this one has an issue that the signal can not be above -75dBm

Could this be ics? Bootloaders unlocked?
Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk
Do you have a link that you can share?
No. The Chinese update to fix the -75dB issue is 2.3.6.
Also it breaks the root method but supposedly it's possible to keep root with an app "OTA Rootkeeper".
I'm not 100% sure but I don't think the Chinese bootloader is unlocked.
(poking around here with machine translations can be... unclear )
Saw a story on there that Motorola engineers were actually dispatched to the poster's house to test the fixed baseband with the customer.
I wish we could get that kind of service in the USA.

Does this help?
http://bbs.mfunz.com/forum-225-1.html
It is the chinese 2.3.6 OTA update (Blur_Version.55.86.6.ME865.ChinaRetail.en.CN)
and the 2.3.5 fireware.
can anyone do something more?

No such luck.....
I tore this apart, and this has the same bootloader as our MB865 with a couple minor differences due to what looks like a slight hardware difference on the ME865.

no root help
so i installed this update and all was fine till i noticed root was gone and now ii cant go into clockwork to boot recovery and ontop of this i have no baseband so my phone doesnt work at all!!!!!please help asap i need stock rom anyone have this ??? can i revert the update???? help omg this sucks
HI everyone, i was just trying to revive my phone out of the invalid cg errors, and i couldnt so i decided to flash 2.3.6 through rsd.
Before that i did the cwm on boot option as well as per the guide, now it has flashed to 20/20 flash webtop gfrs.img and it has been 20 mins at that step, what do i do now? does the battery keep draining? do i unplg it?
Please reply before my battery might run out :s
Im no expert, but i can definitely say that unplugging or pulling battery will brick your phone. Dont do that. The battery does not charge in fastboot mode so yes it is draining. Wait it out a bit.. my best advice. Sorry!

if you were on 2.3.6 then you have to read the beginners guide once again as you will have to replace song files to the rom and it would work like a charm i was stucked too yesterday
So you flashed a stock 2.3.6 from? If it was any ICS build, you just hard bricked for being unable to see about the million warnings of not doing so or ending up with a brick...
Perhaps you should provide more information of exactly what you were doing, and exactly what software you were using.....

I had 2.3.5, i did the cwm on boot and it sent me to 2.3.6 now at 2.3.6 i just flashed a stock 2.3.6 with rsd lite 5.6 and it is still at 20/20 after about an hour.

Ok, so you installed that modded bootstrap... That alone would not magically put you on 2.3.6 from 2.3.5. You would have either flashed it, or ota'ed from 2.3.5.
So I'll ask again, exactly what were you doing. And again, WERE YOU EVER ON ICS.

Never ics and this is the second time that i applied the reboot.zip and its sent me to 2.3.6
so do i just wait it out till the battery dies?
That doesn't make any sense.... Flashing that in cwm would not apply the 2.3.6 update to 2.3.5.....
From what I can tell you will probably softbrick due to not doing something right.
If I were you, I'd pull the battery and see if the phone will boot into fastboot. Then reflash using the official 2.3.5 fxz, then ota to 2.3.6.(that guide you're using is 10 months old...) You can also use the leakes 2.3.6 fxz.
I'm doing this from my phone, so it's cumbersome to include links to the file, but all the info is in most of the recent posts here, and in the dev forum.

Well i guess there isint much else to it then, but i have had this problem before of going 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 and i guess nobody else has or there would be threads here... i guess i got a wierd phone pulling battery in next 15 mins just to see if anyone else has something to add.
Probably not, since then you won't be able to boot with a dead battery. Pulling the battery now or waiting for it to die is the samething.... At least you won't be stuck with a completely dead batt.

I still don't understand your process of going to 2.3.6 from 2.3.5.
Why are you even rooting 2.3.5 just to attempt to go to 2.3.6.......? Unless you're a dev trying to unlock the bootloader from 2.3.5 somehow, it makes absolutely 0 sense of why you are rooting and backing up 2.3.5...........
You should be ota'ing from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6....

That makes no sense what you are saying.... All I can suggest is what I've already said...
If you're trying to get your phone back to stock, you need to just flash the stock 2.3.5 from fastboot, then ota directly to 2.3.6 using the update utility in android.........

Hello All,
I AM REALLY SORRY IF THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED MANY A TIMES.
I am from India and running the OTA android 4.0.4 on my Motorola Atrix 2. The version is a headache and spoils the fun of using Atrix 2. I was very much happy with speed that 2.3.6 gave me. But one unlucky day I got the 4.0.4 update and never has it been the same then. I am frustrated to the point of selling off my device.
So i would like to ask anyone who can help me out. Is there anyway I can go to the Stock Motorola Atrix 2 android version 2.3.6 or is there any other 4.0.4 cooked ROM that works better than the OTA 4.0.4? and if there is, can it be installed on my device? I have not yet rooted my device.
P.S. if there is anyway to go back to Stock 2.3.6, nothing could be better than that.
Any help regarding this will be really appreciated.

Assuming your atrix2 is the Indian version there have been reports of people having fxz back to GB without bricking.but again i don't have the Indian atrix2 (just the at&t version) so i haven't done this personally.

Its super laggy with lot of lag between flicks, apps open slower and the worst part - once my dialer simply would not place a call on pressing the call button!! What use is a phone that refuses to call??
@Opener did u try factory resetting your phone? Did it help?
@Others, please suggest what I should do. I am a newbie too to android modding so I am not familiar with the currently trending mods/tweaks/cooked roms. Any way to downgrade to 2.3.6? If not, is there any custom firmware that gives better performance?

Sent from my MB865 using xda app-developers app
There is definitely something wrong with the OTA ICS update. I did many factory resets after the update and performance was unbearable. It seemed to work fine for a little while after the reset, but as soon as I signed into my google account it started giving me fits. I even reset, then created a new google account and it was the same thing. So I reset again and never signed into my account, seemed to work okay for a couple of days, but eventually it was the same performance issues.
I took my phone into the AT&T service center and they knew of the "issue". AT&T ended up replacing the phone under warranty and now I'm back to Gingerbread, kind of wishing I had a stable version of ICS because I really like it.

My phone is no longer functioning the way it was ever since it was accidentally upgraded to ICS.
It's an AT&T motorola arix2 mb865.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
I tried using Odin to install a version of 4.1.2 on my s3.. It failed on odin.. I apparently had the wrong file now I cant get into download or recovery mode.. It starts for a second saying loading recovery with the samsung logo then all goes black .. Has some vibrations to it but cant turn in on or connect or even show battery charge on the screen.. Any help to get into any screen would help...
It sounds like a download mode jig should work if you go out and buy one. I'm probably not the 100% best source though.
And that may be a misspell, but there are no 4.1.2 ROMs available to flash in Odin.

Yeah I kinda got that now.. no Odin Flash.. I'm a noob.. I've had it rooted for some time and havn't messed with it for a few months.. but wanted 4.1.2 and instead of coming here I went to Youtube and screwed myself.. What it the Download Mode Jig?
Was it a rom from a different phone?

Yeah.. It was for a different model.. It failed numerous times.. Then I was able to get into download mode again then was able to turn off my phone and get into my regular firmware.. Tried to install the AOKP file and reboot into CWM but upon turning off my phone I got stuck in this crap...
You can still ODIN Flash but only stock ROMs. Have you tried to see you can get to download mode?

Here is the stock firmware from Verizon. FYI the international version of the phone has 4.1.2 which is what you have downlaoded. also uninstall and reinstall odin.

One last thing.. I know I'm wasting your time but I am very sorry.. But when U say it's an international phone.. Is there still a way to get 4.1.2 on my Verizon S3 being that it's a US phone?? And if so please point me to the right tutorial.. I'll be sure to throw in a few more thanks into your rep.. Thanks..

No you will just have to wait for the OTA which will be a while. Scratch that there a few custom ROMS runing 4.1.2 you will have to check the forums for them.
So, the reason for not needing a jtag was that it failed in odin?

I really have no Idea why it decided to let me back into download Mode.. But i"m DL the Verizon firmware right now and gonna reinstall.. 4.1.1. Use my Titanium to hopefully bring back what I can.. if not no big deal at least my phone isn't bricked.. I can get back into my phone now but the recovery mode still won't work.. Hopefully it all comes back after the flash..

As long as he can at least get to download mode his phone can fix it. Odin can also unbrick phones as long as download mode is functioning. Jtag is just unbricking via hardware and it should only be used as a last resort(hard brick). Download jig should only be used if Odin doesn't work. Even samsung has a tutorial on how to unbrick your phone via hardware.

I did, I didn't win the 400Million or whatever it was last month.. But no biggie.. I won the lottery today by not bricking my S3

No the reason for not needing a jtag is because he downloaded the wrong ROM for his phone. As long as he can at least get to download mode his phone can be fixed. When your phone is completely shot then use jtag. If that doesn't work then you have to return your phone. Even samsung has a tutorial on how to unbrick your phone via hardware.

I think you're confused. Flash an international ROM in recovery and see how that turns out (JTAG). So it would stand to reason had the Odin of an international ROM succeeded you would get same results. So then it failing would seem to be why it's only soft bricked.

Hello everyone,
I have a SCH-I535 running 4.4.2 that I bricked last night after running ez-unlocker (attempting to modify the bootload) and just got it back to work after using a debrick image... I would like to know if it is possible to downgrade back to JB 4.1.2? and if so how will accomplish this since it is not letting me bypass the odin process due to a recovery failed error...
Thank you very much!

Yes but you would need to send it out for a jtag repair

Wait a week or so. I had an idea the other day and we are just now trying to put it to the test. It may unlock the bootloader, who knows! The method works on Motorola phones with the Qualcomm msm8960 chips. And guess what. The s3 has the same chip. And the exploit was directed towards that chip.

Still testing and digging! But I feel like our efforts are fruitless, as I am no developer and I feel like my friend and I's ideas have been thought of and tested and failed. I do not want to bring any hopes up. But it's starting to look more and more possible. Just be patient

I do hope it's successful! I stupidly took the 4.3 OTA, and I've been regretting it since. Do keep us posted, please!

That link has been posted in these forums before. That downgrade only works on the i9300 international version, not the i535 Verizon version. The screenshot in the article you linked even shows the about phone as the i9300. This article you linked is from 8 months ago. If this worked on the Verizon version it would have been all over these forums. The article you linked even mentions how trying this process resulted in hard bricks on the AT&T version. Anyone trying this on the Verizon version will suffer the same fate.

You posted a link without even reading the details contained inside? Not a good practice. Plenty of new people who would read your description, click on the link, follow the suggestion contained in the article without also looking into the details, and brick their phone. I removed the link from my quote of you. You may want to consider removing the link from your previous post. Just saying.
