Flashh original firmware - Motorola Atrix 2

I can not figure out how to get 67.220.3.ME865.Retail.en.05 flashed back to my ME865. RSD will not work, it shows failure. It downloads as tar.gz file.
I can get the MB865 ATT version on, but really want to put this back to stock, as i am selling it. Thanks.

The reason you can't go back to the proper firmware is because you made the mistake of flashing the AT&T firmware. Once you've flashed that one it's there to stay and you can't flash any others.
P.S. My mind and thumb wandered at the same time so enjoy the free thanks and don't spend it all in one place.

It failed prior to me flashing the AT&T version. Flashing the AT&T was just to make sure I could go back to ICS.

So is it possible to go back to Gingerbread then update to ICS?

[Q] HELP! Need to go back to 2.1

I did the ODIN one click 2.2 update a few months ago and I've been having little issues here and there and I need to go back to stock ATT 2.1 and I'll wait for 2.2. I thought Master Clear did that but it just clears all data. I've looked around the forum but I haven't seen a definitive answer and I just want to make sure I do it right. Can anybody help?
Just use odin 1 click JF6.

But if you have build # 1010 phone, use my guide to revert back to stock.

Is there really a way to go "truly back" to stock phone after flashing a new rom?

I guess I should've specified that I'm on Rogers, which is not the case, since both the stock 2.1 and 2.2 roms posted here still retain the ATT logo boot splash after they've been reflashed. Besides some direction to the ATT splash, can someone educate me on what files are NOT overwritten/replaced/fixed/etc when flashing a new rom?
The initial At&t logo is loaded from files within param.lfs

I'm kind of a noob so bear with me...but other than adding the ATT graphic to the boot cycle, what else does (I should I say, doesn't) the flashable roms here fix or change?
Ok so that worked no problem, but now trying to get the ATT update failed, I'm wondering if I'll be able to update to the 'fixed' 2.1 and eventually the 2.2 sometime in 2012 at the rate they are going.

That's not a ROM. What you flashed was the Fascinate's full system files. Although some people have had luck doing it, this is a prime example of why you should never flash something that isn't for your phone. If you have flashed the Mesmerize files using Odin to get back to stock and your phone still isn't working. Try using Odin to flash them again. If you still aren't back to a working phone, my guess is that something was flashed incorrectly to begin with.
I hope that you have phone replacement or insurance available if it doesn't work.
What happened is he has a Verizon radio. You need to use ODIN (as phidelt82 said) to flash your device back to a true stock state. This should restore your USCC radio..

Is this possible to fix?

Back on September 14th I downloaded that 14 Mb update. Since then I've flashed many times between stock, special ROMs, and of course the Gingerbread leaks. Well, my current issue is that I'm stuck on UCKE3 which is the newest I could find (the one from early June.) So far I have had no luck re-updating my phone to UCKH1 from the 14th. I'm getting the constant, "Your phone is up to date. You may check back in 24 hr and 24 min" message. This is very frusterating to me since when I'm on stock I like to have to latest official updates. Anyone have any idea what's causing this? I've asked a similar question in the Q&A thread, but some kid gave me nothing but a link to GTG's modem collection which is not what I really needed and threw a whole you better thank me for helping you thing in my face, so I prefer to check in here.
I assume you're referring to gtg's "Return to stock" UCKE3? If you actually want to be stock, that's the one to go with. That OTA Update really doesn't gain you much value, except for possibly the KI3 modem (which of course you know you can install yourself, no thanks necessary )
Now for your actual question: I don't have a definitive answer for you, but a good guess that "Return to stock" may not be 100% stock. Obviously it's rooted, but there may be something else (don't know what) that might be just different enough that AT&T's firmware update utility no longer recognizes your ROM as a candidate for updates.
Sorry that's not a very solid answer, but if I were you I wouldn't sweat this particular update anyway.
I had the same problem. What I did was return to stock using gtg's unbrick then after the phone booted I did a factory reset from the settings menu. I was able to get the update installed after that. Just back up your SD cards if you try this.

UCKH1 updated the bootloader and modem. I'll find you the link so you can Odin it. it's the completely stock version.

Flashed the UCKI3 modem and now I'm back to FROYO.UCKH1! Don't know why I didn't do that in the first place... Oh well. That's what happens when you get 2 hours of sleep then wake up at 7 to PT, haha. I will be thanking your post, good sir.

Thank you for the link. I downloaded it and tried to Odin it... Odin recognised my phone "showing yellow in the top left bar), but the step stayed a "<1> connection setup" for a little under 10mins without doing anything more...
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
My phone is rooted and I'm on UCKE3.
Thank you
Unplug then plug it back in,if that doesn't start it, reboot and put it back in download mode. Rerun Odin.

[Q] reflashing to stock

quick question. If i root can i use one of the older stock roms in the return to stock post to get back to factory, in case i need to return the phone for a defect. im on the 1535VRLHE baseband version.like maybe the VRALG1 or the newest one that it says wipes your sd VRALHD.
thanks

You can use any of the Odin .tar Images. They are all official and probably the last before JellyBean.
ok thanks for the fast response as i am downloading all the files to root and flash. have been flashing since i had my eris, so i know my way around how to flash for the most part. came from the bionic and i flashed it like crazy. could always fxz back to stock so this is pretty close to the same just use odin more or less.
as far as the flash counter goes does anything flashed in CWM trip that? And from what i have read the triangle away app will reset that anyway.
and one final question about backing up the IMEI. is that done before or after you root but before you flash a rom?

Yes you can use rsd lite to return to 100% stock and then try the ota..i recommend upgrading to leak 1 since you cant go back to gb if you update to ics ota

Just use the 2.3.6 FXZ through RSD lite. If you want good webtop then stay at 2.3.6, because webtop 3.0 is more like tablet mode and not ubuntu anymore.
Here is a link to get the 2.3.6 fxz:

All of the FXZ files are here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
If you really want to try ICS, then I would go for leak one from 2.3.6 just do not root or install anything while in 2.3.6.
Here are the instructions for that. Again though ICS does not have ubuntu for webtop, it is just android in tablet mode:

What do you mean you replaced the boot image? please give me a link to the thread you go that from... that is quite disturbing.
What I need you to do is to flash the 2.3.6 fxz file with RSD lite, and watch each step and make sure you get a PASS at the end, if not you might be failing in one of the steps, I think there are like 18 steps or something in the AT&T FXZ. I really need to know which step it is failing on, it should be something like step 3/18 or something like that... I really need to know that or if it goes all the way to the end and say PASS.
If you can grab a screen shot of the error or PASS that might also help as well.

Yeah not the best idea. That ONLY should apply to NON-ATT phones, all you just did was put the 2.3.5 boot image on the 2.3.6 bad flash, you are still not whole. You may not be able to get this all right, after doing that, not easily at least... those instructions were out WAY before we had an official 2.3.6 FXZ, which is what you should be using.
I still need to know where RSD is failing, that is crucial to know what is happening.
From here on, if you want my help, DO NOT do anything unless I ask you to please!!! I am one the devs on this phone and our resident expert here. I am very meticulous, but I will get you back but you need to take this one step at a time, and do only what I ask and report back.

Yeah unfortunately you are screwed, sorry to say. The white LED means it is dead, no bringing it back. That is why I was trying to figure where things were going wrong, rather than having you risk further issues.
You might be able to find an atrix2 with a broken screen cheap on ebay and just put the good motherboard from that in your phone, and get yourself back up and running, I have seen them for 50-100 USD on ebay. There are instructions on how to replace the screen in the general section.

Well, they will most likely send it back to you with a referb, and it WILL have the stock ICS on it, and you will NOT be able to get back on GB and use the ubuntu webtop.

Hello, I am sorry if I am hijacking this thread but that is not my intention. I have a similar situation here that I need help with. I just bought a used Atrix 2 yesterday and I am unable to use that.
It is running the following:
Android Version: 2.3.5
System Version: 55.11.11.MB865.ATT.en.US
Build Number: 5.5.1-175_EDFFW1-11
It was in factory reset after mode so i followed the instruction to register with google and my gmail added. But when go to contacts, it keep rotating to open AT&T address book and never comes out of it. So I cannot use my google contacts and has to dial the numbers every time (sucks). Secondly, I called AT&T about the address book problem and was told that is not their problem and asked me to update the Android. I tried updating endlessly but the phone always says 'The software is upto date and no update is necessary!" really?
I called at&t again w/o much success. Then I called Motorola and was told that the phone is running a strange unofficial (really, again?) android version that they cannot help either.
I did confirm the phone is not rooted.
Now, I have a beautiful looking phone that i cannot use. I am not familiar with rooting and all sorta things and can you please help me so i can use this phone?
Thanks a ton.
