I would try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539167
However itll put the us version on your phone. Then maybe u can check for updates on phone and install it for your country(not sure) or u can download any of the roms you find here on the forum. It wont be your turkish version but its basically same. If there was a fxz for it that i knew of i would link you to it.but as far as i know there isn't one online.can u be more specific to which rom you have other than just telling me 2.3.6.
Do you see your rom in here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1635740

Trouble Flashing ROM
Ok, guys I am really no good at this!! Can someone explain, as you would a child, how to flash my ROM. I have rooted, tooted and tooty frooted my phone. I successfully loaded something on it but now it will not boot and is stuck on the motorola logo and keeps rebooting. I can get apfast boot up but am completely lost from there. I though I followed the instructions to a "T". But honestly I do not know the terms and acronyms.
Basically I got nothin!!!
So what file do I download?
-I've downloaded so many but I do not know one from the other like the edison thingy.

All I want is a clean Android system on my phone without all the att garbage and restrictions.
thanks guys!

[Q] How to install CM10 in Atrix 2

Hi I'm new here, matter of fact this is my very first post on XDA! I am clueless when it comes to rooting and installing custom roms, never done it before but I'm willing to try. My question is how do I install CM10 on my Atrix 2 MB865 model phone?, it's currently running the latest 4.0.4 and I'm anxious to try out the newest features on 4.1.1 especially Google Now. With that said is there anyone who can guide me in the right direction? Is rooting necessary to install CM10? How do I backup my data including settings, apps and personal data like pictures and videos? What is the risk to benefit ratio as I've heard phones bricking. Thanks

First you would have to root your phone. You can learn it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742879. Then you would have to install the bootstrap app from google play and install the hijacks. After that you can boot in to bootstrap recovery via the app and from there you can flash cm10. You can backup your apps with titaniumbackup also from google play after you have rooted and you can just simply backup your pictures and videos on your pc. Before flashing make sure your read through the OP of the cm10 and make a nandroid backup before flashing it. If you follow all of the steps correctly theres a very small chance of bricking your phone. I've been running cm10 for two weeks and its AWESOME!!! Its up to you if you want to risk flashing it

tl:dr
Also, questions belong in Q&A, not General. I don't know why it's so hard to grasp that concept...

Why do I need to backup with Titanium if I can do it with CWM? From my understanding since Atrix 2 doesn't have an unlocked bootloader, we can't flash ROM's from the stock recovery?, and that we have to install bootstrap in order to get access to CWM recovery which then will allow me to flash the ROM?

Titanium backup is for apps. CWM backup doesn't do that! Ya,we are locked. u need cwm to flash ROMS. Some of em need bootmenu recovery, but cm10 is to be flashed in cwm.

Check the Atrix 2 development section for ROMs for this phone. Never use another "device specific ROM". If you want to use the ICS ROMs, you'll need to be on ICS with a custom recovery before flashing.
If you're not completely anal about having a 100% working ROM, I'd recommend trying cm10 or Paranoid Android.
If you are however you should check out StockyEd, Numa, and SwiftyTrix. SCv7 is cool too, but it all depends on what you prefer.
Feel free to PM if you have questions. I always respond

Which process to start with in flashing?

Just wondering what you guys thought.
I am rooted on JB and VRBLK bootchain. I don't know a lot about the Aroma installer. Where can I find more info on that, and can I install any ROM with it?
Or where should I start? There is so much info, it's hard to find a good place to start installing ROMS on the Verizon S3.

For you info aroma installer isn't some special process it is AIO program that devs use. Some ROMS are installed via the installer so we can cherry pick the mods we want. Also common knowledge is to go to the Android development section and the original development section for ROMS as those are the only 2 places with ROMS.

I know where to find them in the development section. I just want more info before I start flashing away. And with all of the recent changes to Jelly Bean, I don't want to flash something incompatible.

Well since you do have a Verizon varient of the S3 phone all ROMS including the ported ones posted here are compatible that is common knowledge. There isn't a compatibility issue with these ROMS it is the "people can't follow directions when flashing" issue and some bugs on some ROMs. Also the devs provide info about what is in these ROMS. If the ROMs weren't compatible with Verizon S 3 phones then it wouldn't have been posted here at all. Those incampatible ROMS will be in a more suitable section of the site.

Well partner, look over that guide posted earlier. You can rest easy if you follow it because with the unlocked boot loader you can flash any if the ROMs for the Verizon s3. Just remember to back up you imei and read the op of any ROM you're thinking about because done like cm10.1 cause issues .

Thanks guys.
On the Vibrant, you could not flash a gingerbread rom if you were on froyo, and vise versa. Are you saying it's ok to flash an ICS rom if you're running JB?
2 more quick questions.
What's this flash counter I keep seeing people talking about? What does it do, and how do I keep it from causing problems?
And, do I have to unlock the bootloader each time I flash a Rom or is it always unlocked after I unlock it? Or is it different with each Rom?
I know these are noob questions, but I've flashed plenty...... just not on this phone. It seems like Verizon tried to complicate the process.

The flash counter keeps track of how many times you've flashed via download mode(Odin only). It becomes a problem when you return your phone. You only need to unlock your phone once to flash custom ROMs only when you flash back to stock will your phone will be locked again.

Make your first flash synergy and back up your imei so we don't have to tell you that you should have...

HTC Inspire 4G Help

Hi guys, I am an iphone user and Just started to use Android so dont know much about it. I have couple of problems please help me to solve them.
1. I Installed Android ICS 4.0.4 after rooting Inspire 4g and its working now but whenever i run few app it reboots. I tried to run Temple RUN 3-4 times but my phone reboots. Please help me to find the way.
2.- Now its not rooted. Would you please help me to know how to root now this Inspire 4G with ICS 4.0.4.
Regards

1. Which ROM?
2. How did it get unrooted?

I Installed this Rom and i have done nothing after that i dont know how to unroot or whatever.
update-aospX-1.0.0-AR30-DesireHD-signed.zip
would you please let me know what to do? It reboots and dosent look stable for me.
Regards

That's because that is not the latest version. Where did you get it? It is actually really old. The latest version is on this phone's development forum. Usually I would tell you to read more and search for the link, but I'm feeling nice today. So I'll give you the link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460820. And I'll give you a friendly warning: around here and around most Android hacking forums, we expect even new users to read and research a lot for themselves instead of flashing things willy-nilly. Look to the link in my signature for some new user help. And remember to full wipe.
Also, I4G users can flash Desire HD ROMs. So you can try that forum out too. It's more active than this one.

I got it from google. and would you please let me know what to do? Can you give me the link of latest rom of ICS 4.0.4 link which will work on Inspire 4G and how can i root this 4G now? because i cant install your rom without Rooting.
Thanks

Well, you haven't answered the question of how it got unrooted. Not knowing how that happened, I don't know which of several solutions will work. For the rest read my edited post above. And look generally to the I4G and DHD Development forums for ROMs. Don't randomly flash stuff from Google. You run a pretty high risk of bricking your phone.

Hi bro, Thanks alot for your time, i am downloading this aospX-1.0.0-MR1-DHD.zip rom right now. and I just checked my iphone and i can see the recovery mode after rebooting my phone. but when i install root check app and it says your phone is not rooted. so any Idea what to do?

Er, your iPhone? Do you mean your DHD? You probably got your Superuser app deleted somehow from your current ROM, I don't know how, but once the ROM is flashed Superuser should be back, since the ROM will have it. Make sure you full wipe first, which means wiping or reformatting system, data, and cache (the exact method differs depending on your recovery). This will erase any data you have.
Also, did you use AAHK S-Off or HTCDEV bootloader unlock? The flashing method differs. And by the way, calling either option "root" is a misnomer. AAHK S-Off lets you flash anything to your phone. HTCDEV bootloader unlock lets you flash certain custom ROMs. They basically unlock hardware. Root is software. It usually comes with a ROM, though you could push the relevant Superuser.apk and su binary from your computer with adb if you really wanted to do so. You just can't flash a ROM (and usually people are looking to flash rooted ROMs) unless you have unlocked hardware with AAHK or HTCDEV. Look at the link in my signature, which has a very good guide on post #7, for more detailed information that you should probably know before you go mess with your device any further.

Yah Sir, my Inspire 4G had 2.3.3 as you know that and i did use AAHK to unlock bootloader before flashing 4.0.4. and as i said earlier i am using it now but rebooting. I do understand my questions frustrate you because i am noob.
What i am trying to ask you now that the link you have given me the latest rom one, Can i flash this one straight away after downloading because i have used AAHK before installing 4.0.4?

It should be rooted. Do you have an app called Superuser or SuperSU? And yes, you can install paid apps on any ROM, rooted or not.

...Um, no. Paid apps are still paid. That doesn't change with root. And XDA does not condone pirating. I meant that you could install paid apps in a rooted ROM just like you can on stock.

When you jailbreak an iPhone, you can get paid apps for free..that's probably what he meant or was curious to know

Well, he can pirate apps on Android all he wants regardless of whether he's rooted or not. Whether he should is a whole other question.

Well, I am agreed with MissB. Rooting the phone goes far beyond hacking 5 bucks apps. If the only reason is that he wants to pirate apps, then he is in the wrong place.
Besides, he needs to read a bit more before messing or infect with a virus his phone. Most of the apps have a lite version that is as good as the paid one with a little restraint on the features.

I reinstalled cm-7.2.0-ace.zip because ICS was a bit laggy and wasnt working fast. So i downloaded cm-7.2.0-ace.zip this rom and installed but I dont have Martket or google play icon in this rom. would you please let me know how to download and from where i can get it.

May the -Mass times Acceleration- be with you...

Some things about ROM flashing:
Below is some pretty basic stuff go through if you have no idea what a custom ROM is and why should you use a custom ROM
There are two kinds of ROMs available:
Stock ROM or Firmware:It is provided by the manufacturer and the version varies as per the policies of the company.These usually don't have many modifications or tweaks.
Custom ROMs:These are developed by a developer or hacker that enables the users to customize their interface, thereby improving the performance drastically.These are usually heavily modded and tweaked to improve UI and performance.
There are both advantages and disadvantages in using custom ROMs for Android devices. Before loading custom ROMs, you need to root your android device. Rooting will help you to change your privilege from “guest” to “super user”. When you buy the device, you will be having only guest privilege since you will not be able to access all the codes as the manufacturer locks it up. It is considered as a protective measure, but the tech savvy’s are disappointed by this action as they cannot use many potential features or update it.
Advantages of using custom ROMs
Updated versions: You can load the latest and available Android versions which can make your old phone look new.
Great number of feature filled custom ROMs: It will be a chaotic task for you to find the apt one as there are bunches of great custom ROMs available for different devices.
Personalization: There are a number of features that can be customized to suit your taste and working environment. For instance, Custom themes can bring a new look and feel to your device.
Improve performance: The custom ROMs allow its users to find out the unnecessary apps they have on their device and helps them to get rid of them, thus increases the speed of processing and improves battery life.
Better signal and quality: Custom ROMs help you to improve your base-band which in turn increases the signal and quality of your phone call.
Disadvantages of Using Custom ROMs
Warranty Void: This is one of the main reason why people hesitate to root their devices.The manufacturer will cancel the warranty if they find any attempts of rooting.
Bootloops/Bricks: If the rooting/flashing is not successfully done, the device may enter to an infinite loop of booting(called a soft brick) or worse may hard brick(become unusable).
Loss of all Data: When you install a new custom ROM, it will clean up your system and therefore you will loose all your installed apps and data.
Stability:Not all custom ROMs are fully stable and may cause different kind of problems.
By default you have Stock ROM and Stock Recovery installed in the phone.
You need a Custom Recovery to flash a custom ROM.
You don't have custom recovery installed by default in you phone.
You'll need to be Rooted to install Custom recovery or to Flash custom ROMs.
You can't flash Stock ROMs(or better put fxz) using custom recovery.Use RSD lite for that purpose.
Okay so you wanna get started?
The first step would be Rooting your phone.
GB and ICS Rooting
JB Leaks Rooting-Link 1 or JB Leaks Rooting-Link 2.
Done with the Rooting?
Good.
Now install a Custom Recovery to your phone.
There are only two custom recoveries available for Atrix 2
CM-Defy recovery or Bootstrapper recovery
BMM Recovery(Boot Menu Manager)
Both these recoveries can be installed by simply installing an apk.Yes it's that easy!!!

Very much the case indeed Devesh, it's kinda annoying to me as well. To add to your custom rom directory is Ravi's non-kexec Liquid Smooth: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42382802 for those who missed it.

If you had a custom recovery and can still access it, then you can either reflash the ROM you were on or just restore the backup that you (hopefully) made before attempting to overclock. If you didn't have a custom recovery installed then you'll need to flash the fxz that is for your phone's model. Refer to the second post of this thread for links if you don't know how to use RSD lite, or flash an fxz.

Well that's a different story then The solution to that is to retry reflashing your device's respective fxz again until it does so successfully. The fastboot failure seems to be a result of something going wrong during the fxz process with rsd lite or script you may have been using. Try again and see if it works.

I know what you mean lol, I'm primarily PC oriented and when I just got my phone, it was a whole new ballgame. As for your question, you first have to tell us what firmware region your A2 is; AT&T or otherwise. Then after that, you'll know which ics fxz to download and flash. If you can actually access your custom recovery- bmm or bootstrap- then you should be able to just flash another custom rom. Read OP post #2 for the link to the ics firmware thread, but post your phone model region or just post a screenshot of your 'About phone' in settings.

Yes you can do that but from your post history if I remember correctly you're a kexec reject right?
Won't boot for you coz it's still kexec.But yeah if you can boot just flash it with BMM after doing the wipes.
