Hi, i am really new to all thing like this, especially forum posting and my new phone motorola Atrix 2. so, i'm sorry for mistakes that might come out.
I just bought it a couple days ago and now i really love the phone, on the day i bought i updated the OS version from 2.3.6 to ICS 4.0.4. ICS which gives me a horrible battery drain, however, i did some researches that stated that battery life of Atrix 2 is quite good (but not with ICS).
I have tried to find many things to downgrade it and come to the RSD option, which i'm planning to use. However, i just too scared that this will hard brick my phone. Some people said they were successful and some didn't.
i am using Motorola Atrix 2, with:
system version: 67.220.3.ME865.Retail.en.05
Model Number: ME865
Firmware configuration version: GAS_ASIA_EDISONHKTWNGNC_P012
Build number: 6.7.2_GC-220-EDS-3
so, my questions are, is my phone with ICS Hong kong retail version which is different from AT&T? (as i cannot remember my Gingerbread previous one).
and, should i downgrade with retail Hong kong or Chinese (which one might be better?).
Will, this be successful? (as many people seems can do and some fail).
I've as well searched through many sites about this and could not confirm what firmware should i use and my version of firmware.
I have tried to download the firmware retail Hong Kong from the droid developer site
(sorry i cannot post any link yet). However, my speed download is very slow, may i have another mirror link?. i still don't know if this is because my internet connection or not, but for other site, it seems i can open and download fast compare to this site.
Sorry for asking so many questions, and thanks for all the help.
There is no downgrading after official update.

You have an ME865 or HK version, which is locked down just like the AT&T version. You can not use GB (2.3.6) anymore.
Go look in the dev section, for non-stock (lite) ROMS, there are a number of them that will give good battery life, also disable things you do not use like Bluetooth, WIFI, etc. when not in use. Disable auto email checking, and other push services. This way to can start from ground zero and add things in slowly to see which is causing the drain.
What exactly is the length you are getting between charges, and how much drop do you get say at 8 am you are at 100% and by 12 noon you are at 70%, and by 10pm you are at 20%... Info like this will help us help you. Also you may have a rogue app that is draining the battery by running all the time.

wow, thanks i almost brick my phone then. the battery life is horrible, i charged it full, then by two or three hours it can drop by 10-20%. When i checked the battery status, the screen display takes like 70% of the activity or the android OS 48% and 30% of screen display, although it is in locked state/sleep. is that means there's an app that keep turning on my phone?.
this lite ROM is it about rooting and flashing?, or can i use RSD in fastboot mode?. if i cannot go back to GB so that means i can only use the 4.0.4 or Jellybean ROM?.

Ok, so yes it means that you need to root and install at least BMM or bootstrap. BMM is in the google play store, and bootstrap is in the development section here.

hey guys i just recently bought and unlocked my skyrocket...the phone has been working great for a couple weeks now the battery randomly shuts off and i get a black screen with a vibrate when trying to boot phone up. I installed the Juggernaut ROM onto this phone and it works like a charm. I even bought a new battery and it worked for a day and now back to square 1. I even tried my battery from SGS 4G and that started the phone. What exactly is wrong? Rom or battery?

I don't even remember what juggz looks like. It's a year old gb Rom. Try an ics Rom if you want stability and a newer os. Sky-ics, mohans embryo, to name a couple.

Are the battery contacts all dirty, bent, or something look wrong with them?
Restoring to stock makes no change meaning that the problem is with the phone itself or something. Maybe you had messed it up by doing something wrong while flashing or... ))
I think what better for you is that you should contact your carrier and have them replace your phone. This will not be a problem as you've just got it.
Just tell them exactly what happens to the phone, but don't tell them that the phone used to be rooted.
When you got your replacement, pm me inbox, I'm gonna show you how to install CMW, and then go straight ahead to Jelly Bean which is the ROM I'm running right now. Since you said your phone was unlocked, I think even if you use your stock ROM, you still are able to use T-Mobile SIM card or any others. ( But I was told by an ATT agent that the phone needed to be used at least 3 months or something in order to get the code to unlock it)
The reason I'm using custom ROMs is that I can do a wifi tether whenever I want, and be able to run the most recent Android version as soon as it is released.

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.
What problems are you having on ICS maybe they can be sorted out by some tweaks/a custom ROM

The problems I am facing is a lot of lag when flicking through screens, slow downs, non-responsive apps, basically ICS is creating too much stress on the hardware of the phone. I like my phone to run smooth and lag free, so pls suggest me if there are any ROM's that can solve my issues, and if i can upgrade to those ROM's on my OTA ICS 4.0.4... Thanks DeveshMainsh

I have the same problem with my AT&T Motorola Atrix2. I upgraded it OTA 4 days ago and it is VERY FRUSTRATING!! 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?

First thing to do after update is factory reset..if still your phone is slow apply the awesome v6 supercharger script..my phone is super fast..

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.

I'm encountering significant battery drain after updating my RAZR MAXX HD to 9.18.79. Has anyone experienced? I used to love the battery life prior to the update, but now it straight up sucks. I'm rooted.
Any suggestions? I guess there's no real way of removing the update.

You can always use mattlgroff utility to flash an older SBF.
However its going to wipe your phone so I suggest using titanium backup to backup your apps.
You might also want to do a nandroid backup either via safestrap or TWRP just in case you want to get your phone back to the 9.20 with all your informatoin still intact.

Option 1 from this utility: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307439
Thanks. I'll try that. I'm surprised I'm the only person experiencing this problem. It must be an updated app that has changed its resource utilization.
Hmm I'm going to have to try this. I did the factory reset last night after the upgrade due to reboots and horrible battery life. Still getting the reboots and too early to tell if battery life is better or not. I was a fool and didn't unlock my bootloader, only rooted because I was as happy as a pig in mud with this phone prior to this last upgrade. I wonder after the sbf if its unlockable again? Probably similar to the droid x sbf?

I don't know why do people want to update at all cost. If it ain't broken there is no need to fix it. Quite frankly I liked ICS best but when I sent my Droid for a repair it came already with JB. Just disable moto services and you won't see those nagging, annoying update requests. I am aware that many guys will always want "the newest" version... F.e. The newest gmail client sucks big time. In order to delete the message gotta click twice. They got rid of the trash can. Who believes it is better/more beneficial now? Just my 2 cents.

There is an option to put the trash can back on the gmail app.
I got the radios only from the update. They're the best part.

Successfully used the above linked utility to revert back to old radio and system version 9.16.6. Root worked in the utility too, but I had my phone rooted before. Now I have 2 superuser apps, one with a pound sign icon and the other with the green android with an eye patch. I went for the gold and the boot loader unlock failed of course. From what I read I knew it would but had to try anyways. I'll be happy if I'm back to where I was before. Got the updater froze now in titanium backup.

How can you update just the radios?

I would like to know that too, probably need to be unlocked with a different recovery and a zip file to flash.
Found a link in this thread on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2378189
Will try it later today and see if it works.
Works on my locked boot loader through RSD Lite. Got the new radios on the 9.16.6 version. Hopefully it doesn't turn into a reboot machine again!

FYI give 9.18.79 update about 3-4 days. After that you will see your batter life go up. I got 1d 6h 35m on medium usage after a couple of days.The first day I only had about 16 hours.
So the two things I have circled never used to be listed under running apps. What would cause these to be listed? Only since the VZW update have I noticed this.

I used to have 3-4 days battery with cloudy rom but after stock 120e getting 1 day. I can see it go down every minute. I installed g2tweaks. I'll remove and check.

I had very poor battery life with 20A rooted for a couple of days but then it settled in and I now get up to 2 days on it. I have not upgraded to 20E yet, but it might work the same, even if it sounds weird.
I am tempted to update to 20e because xdabbeb's XCAM no longer suppports JellyBean, but all these battery talk scares me. =\

The original KK 20a release had some rouge services running, but since going to 20e things have pretty much stabilized. I think it'll depend on what apps you have running, the google apps have been creeping up on background battery consumption.
