Was you on 2.3.6 GB or the ICS Leak? This is extremely important to know.
If you was on 2.3.6 GB you have to use the patch in the fxz. If you was on ICS, you HAVE to use Jim's utility script to get back to GB from ICS.

Please see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650
Read on how to fxz back to 2.3.5. Since you were on 2.3.6 you will need to patch the file. There are instructions in the thread on how to do that also. Read carefully!

I have my original ROM backed up, with cwm its about one GB. Its not a zip file. Can someone tell Me
how to flash that. I am able get into fastbboot and recovery. The only Thing is I can't change my phone anymore.
I had 2.3.6 on the phone. I need to patch for 2.3.5? I'm not understanding.
Please help those is my only phone.

If you can't get into CWM, you CANNOT restore your CWM backup. It will not work in stock recovery.
You need to fxz back to 2.3.5, and then ota to 2.3.6.
I'm not gonna give you detailed steps as its all laid out in the link I gave you in my previous response to you. Please read it thoroughly and you won't have an issue.
The link will explain why you need to patch the file and how.

Assuming you are on AT&T, download the AT&T file from the link you posted in your original post, then patch it with the patch file in the noob thread.
Follow the instructions carefully. If you don't patch the fxz file, it won't flash. Let me know if you run into problems

my phone was 100% working 2 day ago. I tried to flash android jellybean using this site: http://androidrays.com/1007/how-to-update-motorola-atrix-2-to-cm10-jellybean-rom/
now my phone is bricked.
i tried the noob guide,
1) download the FXz file
2) download the replace.zip ( which is the patch)
3) unziped both files.
4) Coped the replace file into the fxz file.
5) use RSD LIght to flash.
every time it failed. I tried most of the fxz files on the site but no luck.
one question , when i choose the file for RSD i get two options to select from 1) file from the patch (InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285) 2) the FXZ file. which one should i use
please help
thank you
Bring up RSD lite, drag the original inline_flashing xml from your desktop to RSD and drop it, then drag the patch into RSD and drop it, it should ask if you want to replace, say yes. Then make sure your phone is in AP Fastboot plug it in via usb, verify that it sees your device, then select start. Let it go until it says pass.
That is all you have to do. However, if you didn't have USB Debugging checked on your phone before all of this, that may be a problem.
It's the same thing Fall has been telling you, but a bit dumbed down so to speak.
I'm sorry if this doesn't help man..

Oh man.
Oh man.
That link couldn't be further from the truth George, and he is going to cause many users issues like yourself. Two very important things about that link: one, you can only flash stock Motorola images through regular recovery. It is impossible to flash things like cyanogenmod in stock recovery. You need a custom recovery to flash custom ROMS. Like bootmenu boot strap, or safe strap.
Second: to flash cm10 (which is based on jelly bean) you MUST be on ICS first.
Gosh, that link is going to cause some headaches.
That being said, let us know how the flash goes man.

By the way Fall of Enosis, much respect for you sticking around to help this guy.
And King, I really wish I could help you, but if that didn't work, and you wasn't on ICS before trying, then I really don't know.
As long as you can still get into AP fastboot, you still have a chance. Ill see if I can figure out something else to try.

Dang, here's what I'm thinking and I've seen it before, where for some reason PART of the ICS/JB system gets flashed but part doesn't. So one last thing.... George, there should be a number in RSD lite where the flash is actually failing at. Example: 3/18
What part is it failing at?

Hi everybody,
I've been having issues with my Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket. The camera won't work anymore, whenever I start it it says "Unfortunately Gallery has stopped working" . I tried everything I found on the web, I cleared the cache, I cleared the data, I disabled and and re-enabled the app and I did the same with every app that was camera-related. I have re-installed Camera.apk from the root-explorer too...Since that wasn't working I restored factory settings but that didn't really make a difference either. I really have no idea what else I can do, is the camera just broken? or any other ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance!

what everyone is trying to tell you is, yes, Odin back to stock and then see if you have the same camera problem. If you do its probably hardware issue. Until you do that no one can tell you what the problem is.

1. Mobile odin, however I've personally never used it. There are probably guides out there somewhere how to return the phone to stock.
2. You may still be under samsung's warranty period, they don't care if your phone is rooted and will fix hardware problems. They will flash the most recent stock rom and firmware they have to your phone so you'd have to re root it.

Thanks for your help I was able to get a usb connection enough and I used Odin on my laptop. The only problem I have now is that the custom unblock symbol appears when I boot up the phone. Any idea how to remove that now that root is gone? Ignore the following words...my phone won't let me edit them out. Thanks again.
Edit: it looks like the file I used was a 4.0.4 image. For return purposes is it fine if it's the older version? There should be no signs of root now. I'll keep checking for updates though

I would, if you have an ics rom they will be able to tell something is off. It should accept an OTA update. If you can odin again, use the vrblk3 image and accept the ota to vrbmb1. It may not be updating due to to the jump from ics to the most recent base. That will make sure you're completely back to stock, with a locked bootloader, and a stock recovery.

I can only find 4.1.1 files...and the link posted earlier in the thread doesn't work. Any idea where to find a 4.1.2 version?
I bought a galaxy s 3 and wanna root it preferably with cyanogenmod because of being a fan of vanilla android. Im new to rooting but trying to learn as much as I can about it. I figured if it works I'll switch to it from my note 2 and show it off a bit...thanks for anu assistance and btw...im new to this site

Just to be clear, if your gs3 has the official 4.3 on it, you CANNOT unlock the bootloader. You WILL brick your phone if you try.
Safer not to mess with it at this point imho

I definitely appreciate but cyanogrnmod is why I bought the phone. .. I'd there a way to possibly uninstall the update in that case or would I pay much have to wait till cyanogenmod comes or with something to get around Knox? Truthfully a good reputable stock android feel Rom installer would be nice but I'm super noob status when it comes to this and would appreciate any assistance

So far no one has been able to unlock the bootloader. Not even downgrade ur fone also results in hard brick
Well definitely appreciated...what would be a good rom that y'all would suggest for me in that case...can I still root this phone or its that screwed due to the 4.3 update??

I literally linked the thread for you where to look. Read the discussion op, yes you can root. Everything you need is in that thread.

Nothing you can do right now as far as custom rom. Currently a few folks are working on a patch for safestrap in order to flash custom rom (currently only able to flash custom TW rom). You can follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618887 to see the status.
Much appreciated...lije I saud im new to this so I'm a lil hard headed...ty everyone that has helped the info was helpful

I have just received a replacement phone. I have gone about the ways I rooted previously and none of them are working. This did NOT come with 4.3 from the factory, and the 4.3 update is not installed. I reverted back to stock from android recovery, so 4.0.4 is on there right now. But no matter what I do, whether it's the one click method, the GS3 toolkit format, or manually trying to gain root through recovery, nothing works. On the "downloading" screen that you need during use of ODIN, it says "SECURE CHECK FAIL", and it'll either have "boot" after it, or "kernel". Anyone have any ideas? As of this moment I have no working phone. Looking for some help asap. Thank you guys.

Try to Odin flash factory 4.1.2 and see if the secure check turn to "enabled". If it's then try to root again.
I just Odin flashed a stock 4.1.2 ROM actually. It's booting up normally now. It honestly seems like they added a layer of protection on the newly distributed handsets. I will try to go through the normal 1 click method again and see if that works. How would I check if the secure check is still enabled?
Actually, no, it's still 4.0.4 but I'm going to try the same thing just with a different 1 click method.
Looks like the really old way worked. With the ez-unlock and ez-recovery. I had to completely demolish what was there when it was sent to me, though. So anyone who gets a replacement, the best bet is to flash a fresh 4.1.2 ROM or 4.0.4 ROM immediately, boot back up and go from there.
