[Q] "Official Gingerbread leak"?

Hi people,
Does anyone know about this thread? http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=3406
Came to this link through a post from a brazilian blogger who says this is compatible with Milestone 2 (A953), but I'm not sure about that...
The poster says this is an "official Gingerbread leak" and it looks real... but after reading half of the replies (that's over 14 pages!) I still don't know if this is meant for A953 too - the pics and information only refer to A956 (Droid 2 Global / Verizon).
My question is: may I try this file in my Milestone 2 (A953) or will I brick my phone?
Thanks!

The main reason why we didn't have a GB rom for so long is because D2 roms aren't compatible with M2. You can flash them, and the phone will boot, but GSM radio won't work and there is no fix. But fortunately we already have our own GB leak, and there are some good ROMs based on it.

Nice! Thanks for your quick response, I will notify the poster of that blog.

Just one last question: is this statement true? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16914333&postcount=7
Thanks!

Why the double post?

My bad. I didn't know where to ask about this then decided to create a new thread, dumb choice, because after that I came across the other thread.
So, if applicable, mods please delete this one

Maybe...
As I know GSM on D2G is just a plugin to CDMA.
Well Mile2 has a mapphone_cdma.init.rc (something like that) script on the kernel, someone has to try it out.

Right... so I'll leave this to the pros, because I wouldn't know even where to start
And does this discussion bring any new ideas to the existing Gingerbread on M2 efforts? I've been watching this development section for a while and noticed that there are many mods based on the chinese leak, but I haven't seen anything mentioning this so-called "official leak"...
The original thread in rootzwiki.com is recent (first posted in Aug 21) and I thought that this could be useful for you developers.
I own my M2 for about a month now and I still don't know much about hacking its system. So I can't help as much as I would like to.
Thanks again!

Why posting here? This isn't development at all. Also..the name thread..be careful with the acronyms

[Q] Root Infuse running official At&t 2.3.6

I am a noob and you all hate me but after countless hours of searching for a similar thread I could not find one. Anyways I am running the official AT&T 2.3.6 update on my non-rooted Samsung Infuse and I was looking for a step by step guide on how to root then flash cm9 onto my Infuse. Any posts will be greatly appreciated thanks!

First i would suggest read a Lil..before you start to flash just to get smart.....you can click my links on my signature for information...
Then read some more before flashing cm9

Big Joe is right,
I spent month reading up on this, probably more than most, but thats because i am a dullard,
i downgraded to the att gingerbread leak and never regretted anyting more. so much hype on it pushed the downgrade out before it was ready.
for those ofyou speaking spanish, "mucho, mucho problemas".
do yourself a favor, follow Big Joe's signature line to the superthread in development.
read read read.
return to stock
root. yes, nullifies warranty, but you can always retrn to stock again and nobody is the wiser.
as far as cm9 goes.... personal preference. plenty of stuff to chose from.
read read read
look to see what problems others are having and decide for youself.
nothing cant be undone with reading reading reading.

Know your Atrix 2

Ok, there have been lots of threads lately on things that A2 can/cant do. And also how to? Why isnt? questions. In this thread i will try to explain few things, to the new to A2 and new to the community members.
1. Memory cards:
This must have been the most discussed topic on the forums, our beloved Atrix 2 has issues with class 10 memory cards, period. Few people are trying to resolve the issue with work arounds, but none seems to be successful.
(need to know what this class is all about? refer this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating)
2. Bootloader:
The bootloader is locked. If you want to know what bootloader is then refer to the noobs guide here (this should be the first thing that you should do after signing up with xda)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650
and what does a locked bootloader mean to us noobs? it means no custom kernels which means no CM9/10, MIUI ports. So please dont ask for them.
Jimmy273 and Jimbridgman, the great grand dad of all A2's development are working on unlocking the bootloader, you can follow their work here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328714
and my piece of advice just follow dont ask for ETA.
3. Official ICS OTA:
Well all the info the devs here have at the moment is exactly what you have, Q3 of 2012. If you have any further info you are welcome to share it. But there are already threads on "Motorola has updated their site reg ics updates" post there.
4. Miscellaneous:
If you have any doubts about changing certain settings, do the old school thing, refer to the users manual. Then refer the "Get Help" section in the motorola website.
go to the motorola mobility's website of your country, find your mobile then get into the get help section, look into faqs.
EA Games: As part of their Atrix 2 promotion campaign, Motorola India is offering 10 EA games for free, you need to download Redemption app from the market. And after that you can select 10 EA games from the listed games. Remember you still need to download game data for the games, which varies from 15mb to 500mb depending on the game title. And if you are not happy with the 2GB memory card then, it would be safe to get a new memory card then download the games and game data.
5. ICS leaks :
My piece of advice: Take a look at my signature which says "still on GB" despite all the temptations and all the leaks, i didnt flash any of the leaks. Why? simply because i know i may get into trouble, with my limited knowledge. If you are also a noob like me, hold your temptation for a little more time, the people who have flashed the leaks say its very stable, so official OTA may not be that far.
Still interested? Ok, if you are using AT&T A2 then please stay away from the leaks at least until some one finds a way with the back to 2.3.5 as some members have reported hard bricks trying to that exact thing. Need to know some more info, follow this thread. Thanks to farshaad for the heads up..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29011591
First of all there two versions of A2 with some hardware differences, MB865 and ME865, determine which one you have, check you device settings to know that. And those who are on SEARET or MEARET, you may be safe with the procedures discussed in these threads.. still only proceed if you know what you are playing with.. cause "help me i am stuck at a triangle logo with exclamation mark.." clearly tells that you havent followed the guide. Which makes the devs, a little frustrated.. any ways these are the threads..

That noob's guide is essentially for those who are willing to tweak their mobiles like rooting and flashing the roms, this will be helpful for all those who are after basic information, like settings, hidden features etc.. and hope all of these will be posted here so that we know what to expect thus minimizing our frustration.

May I suggest that you add to OP the ICS leak warnings. Just a bullet on the flash back issue.

Then why the heck did you post this in the dev section. This is not YOUR work! It goes in the general section.
Reported.
P.S. we have discussed this many times, and even in our unlock bootloader and bootloader unlock bounty threads now.

Moved to general. Not releasing anything and it doesn't work for the Atrix, at least not yet.

fxz 4.04 file

does anyone have a link or download of the stock ics att file? I found a location on here, but the link wont work.
I got the atrix 2 stock on ics and I flashed a file, but wanted to revert to stock. I understand how to flash the file using rsd lite, but I cannot find anywhere the actual fastboot file.
any help would be appreciated...thanks

The big red download doesnt work!!! That is why I asked.
Im coming from htc one x, htc one, galaxy s3, and I have never been fussed at so much about asking a question about something I couldnt find....I know how to search. I find ALL kinds of stuff on restoring to gingerbread, but very limited on ICS, and the few spots I found, I couldnt find a link that worked.
I finally found a spot that had those 3 US fxz variants listed and just wanted to ask a simple question on which one to use.
I do search always prior to asking questions...and I do appologize I wasnt able to find the answers to my questions prior to these.
I do appreciate the help though, much...thank you!

Ah well, don't be offended. If you stick around here long enough, you'll get tired of reading/answering the same questions over, and over, and over again, too.
