after that my atrix 2 is not booting allthough it show Motorola "M" sign and than blank screen .i m not able to recover my mobile using BBM
.i m able to go into android recovery but not know what to do
Good thing I keep this in case I forgot:
If you don't have the original FW for your Atrix 2 anymore, you should download the PROPER ROM for your Atrix 2.
Download the AT&T version here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=17
Doesn't matter if GB or ICS. First time you did it is via ICS though. Just make sure it is an AT&T FXZ file, not Retail Asia, Chinese or Indian. AT&T *AT&T*!!!!
Download proper drivers for your phone
Download RSDLite
Follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650
--or--
Turn off
Remove battery
Make sure you uncompressed the FXZ
Attach battery
Press Vol UP, DOWN and POWER simultaneously
Select AP Fastboot
On RSD Lite:
Select the FXZ file
Connect USB
Start FLASHING!
AND WAIT!
Wait until the "Please power up manually the phone" shows up in RSDLite
Power the phone up
Do not close the RSDLite yet, wait 'til it says FINISHED
Okay?

Well, I have the AT&T version of the Atrix 2 so I should download *ONLY* AT&T ROM.
In your case, it does matter if your phone is AT&T or Asian models. Please download the correct FXZ for your phone.
Good luck! :good:

I really didn't have this kind of error when I was flashing my A2.
Maybe you could try it in a different PC.
I should ask, what ROM version did you download (ICS or GB)? And what model is your phone, AT&T (MB865) or Asian models (ME865)?

If you've already attempted flashing ICS on your AT&T Atrix 2 then DO NOT try to flash GB. It WILL brick your phone, that is, if it hasn't already. There is only one FXZ that you can flash on that phone and that is the AT&T ICS FXZ. Find and download that before trying anything else.
( @Raeshabu already gave you all the info and links that you need. )

Oh no!
You have flashed Retail Asia (MEARET) version of the FXZ. I really don't know if you will be able to flash anything again after that.
Could you tell if your A2 has AT&T logo below the home keys? If yes, then you SHOULD download and flash ONLY AT&T FXZ.
I suggest flashing the ICS ROM as that is the one that worked for me.
And also, if you're using a PC please use the USB ports in the back panel as much as possible. And keep your battery charged! :good:
Good luck!

Hey, I Googled your problem and it seems that it might be because:
1. RSD Lite does not recognize your phone
2. You don't have the correct drivers for your device.
2. Your USB cable might be faulty
Although, I am not 100% sure if these were the cause of your problems, but it might be...
Edit:
I have experienced your situation just moments ago. My A2 won't get past the mbm flashing.
I think your battery's power is too low for it to accept any flashing. I charged my phone up until 30% and tried flashing again, and voila it got through all of it.
I suggest you charge your phone again with a wall charger (to a wall socket), not on your PC. If it got through the charging screen, you're one lucky guy like me.
***
So, let's narrow up your problem..
1. Have you tried using a different USB cable?
2. Or on a different USB port?
3. Have you installed proper Motorola Drivers?
4. Have you got any message from Fastboot that your "Battery is too low"
I recommend downloading this file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/51gmzrtjx4vrmed/Tools.rar
The zip file have the Motorola drivers, RSD Lite, ICS Root and Boot Menu Manager.
Credits to arnab.
***
Install first the Motorola drivers before you flash again.
Good luck!

I know there is the ODIN method but here is another method to install OFFICIAL stock ICS 4.0.4 on your device.
TO RETURN TO STOCK ON ICS 4.0.4(Will wipe all data):
Step 1: Open KIES on your PC but don't plug your Skyrocket in.
Step 2: When KIES opens up, click on firmware upgrade and initialization under tools.
Step 3: KIES will ask for your device information. Fill it in. (you can find your info on the sticker that's in the battery slot. You will have to remove your battery)
Step 4: Follow the steps as KIES tells you to put your device into download mode.
Step 5: Now KIES will download and flash official stock 4.0.4 to your device.
Step 6: Enjoy!
TO UPGRADE FROM STOCK 2.3.X TO 4.0.4(Will NOT wipe data):
Step 1: Plug your Skyrocket into KIES just normally and wait till it connects to KIES
Step 2: When KIES opens up, you should receive a popup saying there is an official update from AT&T which is UCLF6
Step 3: Hit update and do all the stuff blah blah blah and it should start to download the files and update to ICS
Step 4: As always, Enjoy!
NOTE** There have been rumors of this method not working on Canadian phones(I727r).
Thats a good method, better then the ODIN in that it doesnt trip the custom counter. Even though we already have a flashable fix for anyone who tripped the custom binary counter.

Suggestion - when you run Kies on Win7 (or Vista) run it as an admin. Right click and select "Run as an Administrator".

Most Win7 installs by default have the User Access Control (UAE) enabled, so you will get the prompt for the admin password anyway. By running Kies (or any program) as admin from the start you enter the password when the program starts. This can be beneficial with any program that is sensitive to timing. If you don't get the password entered quickly some programs may time out.
In some cases drivers may not install properly without admin privileges.
Just return to stock using this method and worked great! Not even 5 mins later got the update for 2.3.6 for at&t skyrocket. Thanks for the info!

just answered my own question. i downloaded the rogers stock ics tar from sammobile, flashed it and it works. perfect!
was hesitant to try it because i didn't want to brick my phone but figure what the hell. never know without trying.

This is by far the best returning to stock method. I've tried using other methods posted through xda and it will go back to stock, but I can never get the updates provided by At&t. After using this, it took me back to 2.3.5, and I was able to get the update to bring me to 2.3.6.
No, I do not have a full I535VRUCML1 firmware package for you.
Yes, I somewhat lied in the title of this thread. But I did it for a good reason: to get your attention.
Mods - I'm sure you'll understand.
You should NOT flash the I535VRUCML1 firmware (or any subsequent releases for that matter). You will brick. This is what vzw/samsung did on the first OTA for the Galaxy S4. They changed the keys they sign the firmware with. This prevents us from 'mis-matching' our firmware like we've been doing all along. We've been leaving aboot (VRUAME6, the african-canadian sock-monkey leaked bootloader) alone and updating everything else. Since they're signing with different keys now, doing this will brick your device. If you update the ENTIRE bootchain (including aboot) you shouldn't brick, but will be stuck with a locked bootloader and any attempt to downgrade (via dd, etc) will brick you as well. Even if you manage to flash an ENTIRE old bootchain over VRUCML1, you'll brick because they trip a qfuse that prevents it from working. More info about qfuse by djrbliss here: http://t.co/myb0LIrN6e
Just stick with VRUBMF1, trust me.
These firmware updates have, up until now, consisted of several partitions that we update:
- tz (trustzone)
- rpm (resource/power management)
- sbl[1,2,3] (secure bootloaders)
- NON-HLOS (modem/baseband)
Due to the way Samsung and Verizon have chosen to proceed with future updates (following what they do for the Galaxy S4) we cannot flash all these partitions anymore (see above) and retain our unlocked bootloader. We CAN, however, update the baseband as it's not signed.
Latest firmware: NE1 modem with MF1 firmware: http://www.invisiblek.org/firmware/d2/d2vzw_MF1_firmware_NE1_modem.zip (md5sum: 7a49bb13c1160f4d4a89488127684b5b)
This will be the final zip I make. MF1 was the last firmware that allowed us to use the old bootloader, and NE1 is likely to be the last modem we'll ever receive.
How would we measure objectively, coverage/speed differences between what we have the old and new radios?
I guess bandwidth speed test app? Anything else?
Sweet. Maybe I'll get better signal. My voice/1x reception has been worse than my old dx. I'm dropping calls left and right. I also live in the middle of BFE.
how is baseband/radio affected when we flash something else with cwm or with Odin? I mean, I have stock rooted w. b00stedv.002, but if I flash aokp or cm, will it replace this new radio with whatever one is included with them?
Slightly OT, I remember on the dx, if you wanted to sbf without the radio you did it with Linux, otherwise with moto's rsdlite.
Will this wipe data/swap us back to a stockish rom?
invisiblek said:
I've always liked having a thread dedicated to keeping links for the most updated modems for a device. Just easier to find that way.
These are packaged for flashing with Odin. Flash in the PDA section.
I will not promise anything as far as faster speeds or better coverage.
IMPORTANT:
Do not unplug while this is happening, unless you are in dire need of a paperweight.
Odin tends to seem like it hangs for a short bit toward the end of the flash. Be patient, it will finish and automatically reboot.
Latest one on top.
VRLG1 - http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/VRLG1.modem.tar.md5
This is the first OTA
VRLF2 - http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/VRLF2.modem.tar.md5

im on cm10 after all the audio commits etc it seems like the most stable rom other than stock, beats aokp or cm9 right now imho, no data drops etc
So...This is just the new baseband right?
So should be able to flash with custom recovery/rom etc?
this is my first samsung device so not looking for a brick.

tar.md5 files have the md5 appended to the end, and I think Odin checks before flashing. Not 100% sure on that though. Checking it yourself is never a bad idea of course.
This newer modem might of improved data throughput. Not entirely sure though, seems like I'm getting faster speed on Speedtest.net but that could be entirely subjective. Thank you invisiblek as always, for your awesome work!
I have this phone which has the GB obtained from Samsung web site. I then rooted with J Scott option 2. Since then I dont have messaging. What can I do to get this back?

You can go back to Froyo using GTG's Unbrick. Link in my sig. And then you can get Gingerbread here. I recommend option C. If you prefer Heimdall to Odin, there are links to those packages in the ISET thread.

If you're on Froyo and root was successful, then you can stay there. Do the second step if you want to move up to Gingerbread.

Follow the instructions in this thread to move up to ICS or JB. Some of the ICS roms and all JB roms (I think) use the MTD file system so make sure you backup your EFS before making the move upward. There are instructions in the linked thread for making an EFS backup. Make sure to read carefully before you attempt anything.
Of course, the first step is to see if you have a custom recovery. It will be your launch pad to sweeter future.

Power down the phone. Then hold Vol+, Vol-, and the Power button when you turn it back on. Once white SAMSUNG comes up, release the power button. This will take you into recovery. At the top, it will tell you which recovery you have: Android 3e (secure) or red CWM (custom).

If you still have stock recovery, then following the link in post #5 and use Odin to flash option C. This will give you GB with root, red CWM, and AT&T bloatware removed.

Power down the phone. Then hold Vol+, Vol-, and the Power button when you turn it back on. Once white SAMSUNG comes up, release the power button. This will take you into recovery. At the top, it will tell you which recovery you have: Android 3e (secure) or red CWM (custom).

My instructions were a little unclear the first time around. Try again with the instructions below.
1) Power down the phone
2) Hold Vol+, Vol-, and Power
3) When the white SAMSUNG logo comes up, let go of the Power button only. Continue to hold down Vol+ and Vol-.
This should get you into recovery.

No problem. I'm not sure why the phone won't boot into recovery. I can only speculate but I'm sure there's someone who can shed some light on the issue. If this was my phone, I would flash the UCBL3 Unbrick in Odin b/c it'll re-establish the original partitions, give you GB and root at the cost of losing all the info on your phone. Then you can use flash a custom kernel to get red CWM. From there, you can move on to ICS or JB. Let me know how things turn out.

The last thing I did was the UCBL3 unbrick in Odin, so should I do it again or flash the custom kernel to get red CWM? Thanks

I really do think these videos should be sticky'd in the forums
Simple search on Youtube ''How to root the samsung infuse 4g''
This video showing how to upgrade to stock 2.3.6 rooted with a custom recovery
This video showing how to upgrade from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4
This video showing how to upgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.1 and up
There is also this Super Everything thread from a while ago with links to everything needed to root and install recoveries with instructions. I highly recommend reading ALL OF IT before proceeding as it answers almost any question you could have and then some
Today I had a software update and come to figure out it was 6.0!!!

issues after mm upgrade
Here's what I experienced after update...
Once you upgrade you can't flash back to stock. LG flash tool fails because it couldn't detect the model. After setting up McAfee it disables root and usb debugging. You have to go into McAfee and turn those options off. So it seems like once you go to mm you can't get back to lollipop. I'm also having proximity sensor issues also with the screen going black during a call. I guess once we can get root I'll be able to install another rom.
Hi, I got the notification and I was not in WiFi network so decided to cancel it and check it again once I got to wifi zone. But when I checked next time, I just get a message, your phone is uptodate. I tried rolling date forward to circumvent the 24 hour check, but no luck. Any ideas to get the update notification back ?
no luck updating
tried the update today, it just sends me to twrp recovery screen every time
You can't install a factory update while rooted. Come on guys you should know this.

I had the same thing happen to me so what I did to make the phone think I haven't checked for an update and avoid the 24 hour wait I did a hard reset. I want to point out that I didn't care much about all my apps being deleted and you might want to back them up. Note: I was on stock lollipop
Anyone do an adb pull and extract the modem yet? Want to flash it on Fulmics 5.0.

Not sure if there is an "anti roll back" But You cannot use flashtools once updating to Lollipop you must use LGUP.

Where do I get a KDS for the 850 along with the LGUP, seems everything points to the 855? thanks. I can't seem to root after the upgrade to 6.

Its KDZ. the D850 is TOT method only.
My Guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
But remember its your own risk, not sure if downgrading will brick or not yet from MM on the AT&T Model.
FWIW, if you're experiencing DND issues after the 6.0 update check settings > dnd > advanced > schedule. kept noticing on my moto360 it was switching to dnd for no reason. turns out some scheduling magically appeared. been running 6.0 without a hitch since last night. had to manually disable at&t video calling and a few other things but im happy with it thus far.

I tried doing a factory reset after spending a lot of time to back up data. But after fresh restore, I'm getting the message that your phone is uptodate. I m cursing myself why I dismissed the prompt yesterday. Any other solutions to force update ?

You have to do a hard reset through stock recovery. Don't do it if you are using a custom rom. If you are not experienced I recommend you wait to see if you get another update notification

That is because flashtool you cannot use if your on MM you use LGUP with the TOT file.

It's in the 2nd post of my guide in the link I posted earlier ^^ but just remember at your own risk as I haven't seen anyone try yet. Example like the G4 after a certain point people bricked there AT&T model from downgrading. But if you do risk it and everything went smoothly let us all know!

I've got a Galaxy S5 that I purchased from someone earlier today and it worked well until I did some type of software update, it went well but then restarted and it's been messed up since. Now, whenever I boot up the phone it boots fine all the way too the Sprint Spark screen and it just hangs, and hangs and then restarts again, and goes through the same process. I've tried reflashing the device using Odin but I keep getting an error "SW REV CHECK FAIL" with some other stuff. I've tired to do so much, I tried resetting the device and the cache using the options. Please, can someone offer me some help. It's a 900P and it's a Sprint device. I just got back from a funeral a little bit ago so I'd love to get this thing working finally, I've been working on it all night.
Can you check the model number under the battery?
I think Sm-g900m is the South America version, and Sm-g900p should be the North America sprint version.

Ok, good The "SW REV CHECK FAIL" is probably caused by secure bootloader which won't allow downgrade.
Have you tried to flash the latest firmware?

It goes fine all the way till the system.img.ext4 part and it just sits there. I tried letting it sit last night for 4+ hours on a different firmware and it just sat there. Any thoughts?
EDIT: So, I reflashed it, it was successful but my device still hangs at the Sprint screen..

Hmm, I have no idea why it won't boot properly. This "stuck on bootlogo" seems to be a common problem on todays samsung models.
Have you tried factory reset in recovery after flash?
Only other thing I can think of is if some other partition got messed up during the software update.
Maybe can be fixed with a 4-file "repair firmware" with BL/AP/CP/CSC-parts. I'll see if I can find one.

Sorry, I don't. Maybe it's better if you ask for more help in S5 forum on how to go on with this, as I don't own this device myself. I will probably find that thread if you do, and be able to help futher if needed
Otherwise there's plenty of tutorials on how to flash 4-files with odin.
I did find one and uploaded it to mega in case you want to grab it. G900PVPS3CQB3_CSC_SPT_CL10090296_QB12576102_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.zip
I've used those kind of firmwares on various devices for all kind of problems where official firmware wasn't enough to fix it, and it always worked without problems.

First make sure your battery is well charged (we don't want it to die during flash)
Just put the files in their boxes in odin, connect your phone in download mode and flash.
Hopefully it will now boot past that bootlogo. If not...there must be some hardware problem.

It just sits there? No errors? Maybe you should try a different version of odin, like Odin 3.09
You could also try another usb port and/or different cable. Those are the most common problems when flash won't start.

Yeah you can do that too. Another thing you've reminded me of now when talking about smart switch...Go to your task manager on pc and make sure that no smart switch or kies is running in background before open odin. It may interfere with odin connection.
I remember it was a common problem with kies/odin.
