That's because you can't just downgrade, even if you are unlocked. There is a guide somewhere in here that'll show you how to downgrade, though.

I'm guessing you mean 4.1.2? Since 4.2.2 wasn't released for these devices.
You'll have to find the FXZ file for 4.1.2 (shouldn't be too hard) either here or over at droidrzr, then use SamuriHL's RSD Lite method (also not hard to find) to install stock 4.1.2 back on your phone. I'm pretty sure that'll work - worked for me when i had to jump from DU to the latest KK build to grab a stock file.

I know for a fact this can be done, I just did it (as mentioned above). Find the FXZ file and use RSD Lite. Very easy to do.

FXZ is such a long process... Just go visit DroidRZR.com and see the few treads i have for debloated 4.4.2 and also FlashBack. Yes the gpt cannot be reverted, but switch bootloader setups is as simple as a flash. Just read before doing so and make sure one understands what one is doing.[emoji41]

Thank you guys for your help.
I found that on another forum that while downgrading you have skip gpt as mentioned here by nobe1976 & tz files as well to make it work.

DU 8.2 Bluetooth woes
Has anyone been able to resolve the bluetooth issue with incoming calls? I can make outgoing calls fine with bluetooth. Incoming calls connect, but neither side can be heard. Switching to speaker works, but switching back to bluetooth is silent. I also noticed that audio output (via headphone jack) doesn't work with bluetooth audio enabled, and even then it is very, very low in volume.
Disable "non intrusive" in "call settings " then answer call using your phone's button not the one on your blue tooth device

Cannot boot Dirty Unicorns v8.2
Hi guys, I'm using an unlocked XT926 and can't seem to get DU to boot. I flashed it two separate times and when rebooting, it would just go back to the recovery. Thinking maybe it was corrupt, I redownloaded and tried flashing a few more times. Each time, it gets stuck at the red Motorola logo. I make sure to flash everything but internal storage/SD card each time, and I'm on the KK bootloader as I just came from SlimKat. Anyone know what might be going on?
Edit: Redownloaded and moved over to the phone a third time...seems to work! Will report back with any issues.
Sorry about the double post, but I can't find the original to edit it.
Anyway, the ROM is working well but I'm having a strange issue. When someone sends me an MMS, it shows in the notification bar, but when I open my messaging app, there's nothing there. It happens every time, and when I try to send a picture message, it is endlessly stuck at "Sending". Anyone know what could be causing this or how it could be fixed?

You didn't try very hard. Try the link just after that one, something about "Weekly Jenkins Builds" and/or look at post #80.
Why do I get to dig through a thread for a ROM I'm not even interested in? You should have been ignored until you grew enough brains to figure it out yourself. I guess it's my fault for responding to you.

hi,
if i install the cm10 nightlies will my android also be updated to 4.2.2 ?
Or do i first have to manually update to 4.2.2 ?
because my tab has the latest 4.0.3.
hope someone anwers because im new here...
Yes.

thx will install right now , also wifi and 3g functions will still work?
They should work, but of course they are nightly experimental versions so sometimes things can get confused so maybe you should consider a more stable version. Just make sure you make backups before you flash anything

Don't listen to that guy. You can even see hes post count is low.
To answer you question... Sort of.
The latest version of android for gtab2 is 4.1.X
Not 4.2.2.
You can install cm nightlies AFTER getting 4.1.X. It won't work with ICS (JB bootloader mismatch or something)
The same question was also posted in the cm nightly thread and somebody with a lot more posts than you also said yes. Sorry if the answer I gave was incorrect, I have never heard of this problem before.
Sent from my GT-p5110 using Tapatalk HD
My tab came with ICS 4.0.3. I have not updated my boot loader or firmware or any of that and cm10.1 android 4.2.2 works just fine. The only mismatch that occurs when you don't update the boot loader is that the screen goes all crazy for a half a second between the splash screen and the boot animation. That is it. So on that note, don't panic when you see that. It isn't hurting anything.
And please just ask your questions in 1 thread. Doubling up questions and creating redundant threads is against xda rules. No hard feeling over it. We were all new here once too.

So I if I want to flash back to stock recovery, download the zip file, unzip, and there will be an img file that I can grab? I know how to flash img files via fastboot. Just wanted to make sure the zip file had the stock recovery. Thanks.
Go hear http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/28162-house-of-moto/ install this tool follow all the directions to a T then you can flash full fxz or save data fxz. The nice thing is save data fxz only wipes out changes to the system you made while rooted it doesn't mess with apps or passwords.

I just want to flash an img file to get stock recovery. I don't care about retaining anything. Going to wipe device most likely anyway. This just seems overly and unnecessarily complicated. Flashing an img file via fastboot is simple.

Hey All,
I didn't want to risk the ban as I have found this site very useful over the years so I'm posting this here. I know a lot of work goes into finding ways to root each device when possible so I thought I'd throw my $0.02 in.
I purchased a T-Mobile (SM-T217T) Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 last night and wanted it rooted. After hours of trying every method I could (SuperOne Click, Cydia Impactor, Kingo, and every other non Odin based root I could find) I gave up and decided to try some Odin methods.
I downloaded the CWM recovery for the SM-T217S
I grabbed The Universal Root file.
And lastly Odin 3.07
BEFORE STARTING put the untouched Universal Root file on your EXTERNAL SD CARD
Put the Tab in download mode (Power + Vol DOWN)
Open Odin 3.07
Connected your Tab to the PC
Click PDA in Odin, and select the CWM file which then asks to select the recovery file inside the tarball.
Make sure the ONLY options selected are Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time and then click start.
Once the Tab turned off I let it reboot fully before touching it to make sure I didn't brick it but You can skip that and go right into recovery if you want.
Reboot into recovery (POWER +Vol. UP)
**Vol. Up and Down control line selections and Power selects the line**
Select Install Zip
Select Choose Zip From External SD Card
Select android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip
Select Yes
Reboot
WIN!
Once I can find a way to safely upload a a nandroid or similar back-up (maybe a more experience Dev can send me a guide/walk me through it) I'll update this post with a link for a T-Mobile stock rooted rom. Or someone else can do it after you have root.
If You were part of creating any of the root files I used (found through Google and direct linked here) please let me know so I can credit you in my post.

like this rom
i like this rom only had a few problems but after a reboot seams to be working good again
I have the weirdest thing happening. I'm on stable 7 and have been for quite a while. It's worked perfectly until a couple days ago and now I can't send text messages out. I think I can receive OK. Just can't send out. I've even tried doing a clean install of this and other ROMs with same result. It gets more odd... After toying with it I can send only one text out. Just one to any person. But I can't send another unless I reboot or I think wait a few hours. Upon reboot I again can send only one text message out. And so on. I have no clue what could be happening. Any ideas?

Stock kernel and VRBMF1 firmware is the bassline recommendation. TWRP 2.7 at least, newest TWRP 2.8 works fine as well.

Stock kernel and VRBMF1 firmware is the bassline recommendation. TWRP 2.7 at least, newest TWRP 2.8 works fine as well.

Thank you much[emoji2]
I was able to locate the firmware and had a tough time finding the stock kernel as many links for many things are no longer good... I downloaded what I thought was the "stock kernel v2" however when I try to flash after flashing the firmware in twrp I get a failed message "unable to open zip file".. Any thoughts, thank you in adv. Have twrp 2.8.0.1 btw and flashed MF1 firmware....

Noooooo haha stock kernel as in the kernel built-in the rom. All you need to flash is SlimKat and gapps then boot.

That's my bad on the ambiguity! Haha glad you've got it all set up. Just to clarify, every rom comes with a boot.img which is what becomes the kernel. Custom kernels are slightly different.

GPS issue with latest nightly
Just an FYI, I tried the latest nightly and got zero GPS fix, even with a clean flash. I went back to the latest stable build (also a clean flash) and everything's cool with that, except for my inability to view pics within Gmail. :/
Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot
Hi, I just loaded up Slimkat 4.4.4 with the stock kernel on my Verizon Galaxy S3. I used to use the Wifi Tether TrevE Mod with my previous version and that worked, however, this does not appear to work in this rom. I noticed there was a built in Portable Wi-Fi hotspot, which does work perfectly. I would like to use this but am just concerned that somehow VZ would know I am tethering and I would incur additional charges. Do I have anything to worry about or am I just being paranoid?
Thank you for a GREAT product, it's a spectacular rom.

Google Play Services not Installed
Just did a dirty flash of 9 stable over 7 stable flashed the latest gapps, and now the Google play store does not work and a bunch of apps are requesting the install of Google Play Services.
Any tips?

You could try clearing data for the Play Store. I always encourage a clean flash (wipe data and system) before each new release.

Hello Experts,
This is sktneer from India. I am Forum Guru in reputed ExcelForum (excelforumdotcom).
But I do not know anything about the back end applications used in phones except the basic functionality of my phone, currently using Motorola Atrix 2 MB865 (Asia version).
I would request you experts to guide and assist me to resolve the issues I am having with my phone.
My phone is very slow and I have tried almost all the methods I found over internet to get rid of this but all my efforts have gone in vain.
Recently over internet I found that some users having the same problem claimed that their issue was resolved by updating their Atrix 2 to Jelly Bean with unofficial leak 3.
To be very frank, this was completely new thing to me and I was not even aware of the terminology used in this scenario.
My Questions:
1) Is rooting is required for this kind of updaing? If yes, please guide me that how can I root my device?
2) What are the correct steps for updating my device with such leaks? Because when I googled this I just found few links for downloading but as I told you that I am completely novice and not familiar with the terminology used, so couldn't get the correct steps to be followed.
3) My last question is, is it possible to install ICS back if I face issues with JB on my device?
I know that I have asked too much and certainly you experts don't expect a complete novice in the forum but I hope that you will bear with me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is absolutely safe to install jb leak on Indian atrix 2 (I am using the same on my phone)
Rooting is not required for this process.
Use this link for complete procedure
and this is the link for downloading jb leak 3
Use the jb leak 3 instead of stock rom (leak) that is given in that procedure

Thanks Sameer!
I really appreciate your help.
I visited the link you provided and one thing is not clear to me. Would you please guide me that how to follow that......
In the link OP stated something like this....
"Once the whole process is over, you'll get a little sign saying that it passed. This means that your ROM has been flashed. Note- do NOT remove your phone/ let your phone or computer switch off. You do not want to go there. Make sure everything has enough charge.
Now... This step is very important... Reeboot your phone and..... You're done! That's it! Your phone now runs official(kinda) Jelly Bean(4.1)!"
Does this mean that when the process of updating is finished, the phone will be switched off automatically and I will have to reboot the phone when it is still connected to the pc as I normally switch on my phone by pressing the power button?
I am sorry if I have asked something silly but I need your guidance.
Hi Sameer,
One more query. Do I need to remove my memory card and SIM before updating also?
Thanks.
Reporting back the progress:
So finally I have updated my device successfully and noticed some changes and I will need your approval whether these changes are normal or if not, how to correct them.
1) The model number of the phone is showing ME865 now instead of MB865 (my old mode before update). Is this correct?
2) The new android version is 4.1.2. Is this the correct version which belongs to leak3?
3) When I called first after updating, the call was not connected and I got a Chinese voice message.
4) I can still see Chinese language here and there, though I changed it to English.
Please let me know if I have done it correctly or do I need to follow some more steps to completely make it to function properly?
Somebody please reply.
All is correct, no Worries,

Thanks Sameer. You helped me a lot. I really appreciate that.
I have few more questions for you, please reply if you can....
1) The latest version of Jelly Bean is 4.3. So is it possible to update to the latest version?
2) Can I re-install the JB update using the same method again, if any issue with the device?
3) If I factory reset the device, will the android version be changed to ICS again?
Sorry for bothering you.
Thanks again for all your support.
1.Yes it is!
2. Yes you can!
3. No. Your phone will only stay at the rom you flashed.

Thank you so much for your reply.
If you have any link with clear instructions for how to update to 4.3, please share that link with me.
Thanks again.
In fact i have never flashed 4.3 before. But i had 4.2 & kk roms flashed succesfully, and i'm using KK(cm11) right now. You can search the Atrix2 Android Development section for some threads of instructions on how to flash a 4.3 rom.

Hi Ricokowalski,
Nothing is better if there is any possibility of using KK.
Do you have any link with clear instructions to a beginner for how to do that, keeping in mind that I have already used JB leak 3 using RSD Lite? I will appreciate any help in this regards.
Moreover why I see this line in your message "Sent from my MB865 using XDA Free mobile app" because after updating my device shows ME865 instead of MB865 but yours is still showing MB865?
Thanks once again for your reply.
Firstly you need to get your phone rooted. Then you have to install a cunstom recovery. Most roms support the BMM(Boot Menu Manager) custom recovery. You can also install multiple Roms by BMM.
If the BMM runs normally on yoir phone, i think it is possible to flash roms.
You can access the BMM instructions here↓
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49231803
I think that should be enough for a beginner to use BMM fluently.
And about the device name, i think it is because the build.prop file changed because of the JB leak you flashed. So your device name is changed too.
However i have noticed that some Roms had stated that people should flash them on stock ICS rom and i wonder if it is also safe to flash on JB leak. Afterall, it is dangerous to flash a custom rom.

That some roms are, non kexec 4.2.2 roms only !! (These non kexec rom needs stock ICS rom as ur primary rom)
All kitkat roms are kexec roms which can be flashed with BMM whether you have jb leak installed or stock ICS installed as ur primary ROM (system 1)
And its not dangerous to flash a custom rom

Nice to see your reply Sameer.
I updated to the JB leak3 with the help of the link you provided and I really appreciate your help since a beginner like me could update using RSD Lite and the leak file without knowing abcd of the whole story.
I would really appreciate if you can provide any further assistance in order to update to kitkat using RSD Lite since I am aware of the process of update using this method.
So can I do the same to update to kitkat using the same method?
If so, can you please assist me in doing so.
As you know my device is now on JB leak 3, will I be able to continue from here to kitkat?
Any further help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

No Sameer. Probably you mistaken me. I know that there might be threads addressing the same issue, but being a novice I cannot decide myself that which one to follow and that's why I requested you to help me to decide about the right method since I trust you. As I am not still clear that is installing BMM necessary for updating to kitkat or can't it be done using RSD Lite as I previously did with JB leak 3?
And don't worry, you are not being rude at all as I can understand this because I am also a forum guru and I know the feeling when OP asks more and then either I don't have time to reply or I am not willing to reply. So never mind. I will try and see if I can find something useful myself.
Thanks for all your support so far. :good:
Take Care.
