Thank You for warning everyone else even while you are still having trouble. You can take it back to At&t/Bestbuy or wherever you bought it - They won't know and 99% don't care especially about the Atrix 1 or 2...

Just act PISSED! If anyone asks you a question...
[Motorola Atrix 2] moofree:
Looks like motorola really is trying to push an update to me, 15 MB file update to 55.13.16. I'm not going to touch it for now. Gotta get some sleep

Don't see any SBFs or FXZs...

This is my first rooted android phone, so i'm just flying blind here.

Now that I can post links, here's the one linked to through tinyurl above.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Ok, so in the 55.13.15.MB865.ATT.en.US file, there are 2 boot loaders, one is called prologue_loader.ldr and the other one, which I am guessing is the one we already have is called production_loader.ldr

This will require some more looking to see if the prologue_loader.ldr is unlockable, so that they can load thier updated image, then relock it with the production_loader.ldr

This might be good news and it might be nothing, but I will keep everyone posted, with what I find.

[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Keep up the good work guys :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jimmy273:
Try to find the stock build as well, because if that is found i could probably unbrick my phone!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Ok use the link above and try to get it on the root of your SD card, I am not sure if that zip file work or not, for CWM or fastboot, if you can connect to ADB with fastboot, you should be able to flash it from that.

[Motorola Atrix 2] LordGeek:
Ok .. this is driving me nuts here. Trying to apply the Blur_Version.55.13.15.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip update to my Atrix 2 .. since there is NO WORKING ClockWorkMod that can be used .. tried doing it other way that jimbridgman suggested and that was fastboot.

Well .. that doesn't work either .. receive error message:

>fastboot -w update Blur_Version.55.13.15.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip

archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'

archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'

error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt

Anyone else have any ideas of how to apply this update ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] moofree:
Good question, though you'll need to start from the first file...

Blur_Version.55.11.16.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip

I think the filenames are for the versions that the patch gets applied to, not the version it'd be updated to.

This is all new to me, I'm guessing you could boot up with VolumeUp+VolumeDown held down, choose the recovery mode, and do volup+voldown for the recovery menu and choose update, and the zip from that menu...

Edit: This works. Updated from 55.13.15 to 55.13.16

Baseband got pushed back a few days

Lost root again, but thankfully the zergling rush is a highly effective strategy still ;)

-=Insert warning about updating being AT YOUR OWN RISK and not being responsible for bricks etc... =-

Additional warning that this might cut the phone off from official OTA updates from Motorola...
[Motorola Atrix 2] LordGeek:
@moofree:

You are correct, I was successful in getting the 2 updates on, and yes, root was lost. However, I was unable to get the root back !!

Tried manually, tried the 1-click.. Neither would give root. So, since I just received the phone the day before from BestBuy, I did the next logical thing.. Bricked it and returned the phone defective.. LOL

So, now I have a replacement, new Atrix 2.. I'm leaving it exactly where it is until either the OTA's come through the right channels, or something more permanent and correctly working has been done for unlocking the bootloader and rooting.

If not.. 30 days from 11/01/11.. Options are still open with the HTC Vivid and SGS2 Skyrocket.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I Want to reiterate to everyone who is trying to help unlock the boot loader by using the cheesecake method here that you don't want to apply any of these updates directly. Motorola always relocks the bootloader with 99% of these updates. It will be one of the development versions that we are looking for, you just want to download the zip file and upload them with a link attached in here to grab the file you get.Then we can have a look at the files contained in them.

We are looking for the magical developmental unlocked bootloader that we can make our own update zip file, with just the bootloader that is unlockable, in it.

Again don't apply the updates that you get from this process. You may brick your phone or worse, permanantly be unable to root or unlock the boot loader.

This is a cat and mouse type of a thing wiith thses big phone makers.

It's not the end of the world if we don't get our BL unlocked, still I'm hopeful.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Any new updates on the BL unlock. I'm starting to get anxious... I'm checking this thread multiple time a day....
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
To comment on the carriers not unlocking the BL...the BL usually gets unlocked through international versions of a particular model. That is why the Samsung phones usually always get unlocked BL. US carriers cite security as their reason for not unlocking, yet unlocked devices jump on their networks all the time with no ill effects. The Chinese Atrix 2 may be our meal ticket.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
I sure hope so. I can't wait for the fun to begin.

[Motorola Atrix 2] athris:
i saw on razr forum, they have a working cwm already. Can we ask them how to do it and modify for our a2 version?(seems like it even works on verizon razr too, so does it means having a working cwm without unlock bl?)
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yes you can have a working CWM install with out an unlocked bootloader, but you can't flash ROMs yet, all you can do is basically backup and restore, flashing certain things have been tested, but it is still not 100% yet.

The CWM install for our Atrix 2 is posted here:

The instruction was using that cwm to flash a rom(correct me if i make mistake), that's why i think they hv a working cwm
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Our bootstrap is working the same as theirs. Once we get someone to build us a custom Rom we will have the same capabilities. The difference with the RZR is they have a FXZ to get back to stock in case something goes wrong. If we have something go wrong we have a $50 paperweight.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
So I heard some people say they have 2.3.6 but I'm on 2.3.5. How can I get 2.3.6? I'm just stock rooted btw. I only froze apps and not uninstalled them. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] moofree:
I wouldn't suggest it. Really there's no reason to upgrade and the newer releases break the root method. Also there's no fxz to get back to stock at the moment.

If you insist on updating, cheesecake will do it (read the first post) or people have linked to the update zips you can apply from the built in motorola recovery.

I would suggest backing up with cwm so you can mostly revert, and using the app OTA Rootkeeper beforehand, which seems to be able to keep root through the ota update for the chinese.

They suggest doing the protection with ota rootkeeper, then doing the Temp un-root function in the same app prior to updating.

This is still probably not a good idea. I haven't really noticed any major differences between the releases, and this will take you off the update path until there's an fxz available.

Updating to the updates we find isn't really the point of this thread, I'd just rather people not do it unprepared like that guy from India...

I was lucky that the 2.3.6 updates I installed were still rootable.

[Motorola Atrix 2] thekurrgan:
Man I am starting to feel the effects of leaping before I looked. I assumed that since motorola has unlocked a lot of previous generation phones including the Atrix 4G, this one wouldn't be far behind.. this logic was however woefully flawed. With no non-facist version of this device in Europe its been a real uphill battle on getting this thing deneutered.

Wishing I'd got the damn SGS2, albeit for 150 bucks more :/
[Motorola Atrix 2] koriflame:
We'll get it... Eventually. It took like half a year or so for OG to get unlocked from what I've read and the atrix 2 has only been out ~2 months or so.

It'll be worth the wait. Besides this phone is fast as is and has good battery life.

[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Once you get it downloaded it should be in system/cache I believe. Make a copy of the file and place it on your SD card. Then upload using any file sharing service you choose. Once you have the copy on your SD card delete the original file and reboot so it won't keep hounding you to upgrade every hour.

Got busy sorry....but thanks foe the upload guys
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Wait... the file I downloaded doesn't have the system/cache path...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Douchewithaphone:
It's not there.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
My mistake...meant cache folder itself on the internal storage. That's where the download should be located.

Jim have you had a chance to look at this? For some reason its not letting me into any of the files to explore them. They all have a .p at the end is that the difference. Never had this problem on any of the other leaks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Douchewithaphone:

I may be new to this, but does everyone have this file,"Blur_Version.55.11.16.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip", in there cache folder on their phone? i copied it to my computer and extracted it, it looks like it has stock files in it to me. Its 57 MBs in size.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
Fingers are still crossed fellas!
[Motorola Atrix 2] moofree:
Indeed that is the update. You'll prompted to update until you remove the file from the /cache directory at which point the update will fail :)

I'd suggest getting rid of it in case you accidentally hit update.

---------- Post added at 02:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 AM ----------

These .p patch files can be manually applied to the 55.11.16 originals with the bspatch utility.

I've had to trim off the header From "BSDIFF" up to but not including "BSDIFF40" for bspatch to recognize it as a patch...
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
Is the bootloader unlocked?
[Motorola Atrix 2] moofree:
Who knows, but it doesn't look like it. Patched the boot.img and it still looks pretty much the same without any new interesting strings...

I think these new builds are using the improved stock browser, I just benchmarked my A2 running 55.13.16 and got 87939 in Browsermark and 2506 on Sunspider. That browsermark score is better than the Droid RAZR and iphone 4S :rolleyes:

You still shouldn't install them though. I think I should try to use the new browser in the old build... here I go going off topic again :|
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
Dang it! Well there's still hope. It'll happen.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
If I'm not mistaking once you install these leaks it takes you off of the update path. Not in ref to you Moofree as I think you've tried them all ;)

Just giving the newbies something to think about before they try one, we got some itchy fingers round here LOL
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
Yeah it happens. I've been there but since we can't restore to stock ill just stay stock rooted.

I was wondering about that myself. All the more reason for me to leave it alone for now. Thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] moofree:
I wish :P. I've only been able to run 55.13.15 and 55.13.16.

I forgot to make a backup before upgrading to 55.13.16 so all I have is that and the stock build to switch back and forth between.

Of course trying to apply the newer updates while in 55.11.16 fails as it's using a newer bootloader and baseband etc...

It just feels like I'm "stuck" here, but since I haven't noticed any bugs and motorola seems to be taking its sweet time for official updates, it really doesn't bother me :cool:

I suppose I could manually apply the patches and cook up a custom system.img to flash, but that's way beyond me at the moment :o

Without an fxz available, it's hard to recommend anyone be as reckless as I have been, hence the warnings that come as afterthoughts :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I think it will be easier than we think to build a recovery, or a new system.img.

Here is the xml manifest for the chinese fxz that has been floating around... I am delving into something like this as much as possible lately. I am hoping to get something to play with soon, but it will be based on the chinese ROM, I just need to get a copy of our baseband image. What is important is the MD5 sums, those could be updated with ones for whatever we want to flash and it should still work with RSD lite, as long we don't f'up the signatures in the files.

I've always had the nack for being able to tear things apart and put them back together but this stuff just goes in one ear and out the other. No matter how much I try to understand it :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Actually it is not really all that hard to figure out once you dig into UNIX/LINUX a little, since all of Android is based off them.

The md5 sum is kind of like a serial number for a file, every file in *NIX gets one, and no two files can have the same one. That was a real basic explanation and prolly not the most "accurate", but it is the best way to express this to someone who does not know what it is...

example:

For instance, If I were figure out how to uncompress the system.img, and hack away at it, then compress it back up with I am guessing something like cpio. The md5 sum would be different, hence having to change it in the XML file. Then put the md5 from the edited/new system.img I would create in there. The one missing piece is the baseband, that is how the GSM signal is brought from the hardware into the system software via firmware. I am 100% sure that the US version of this firmware is way different from the Chinese version, hence what happened to someone in the forum who flashed it, was not able to use the phone, to get a signal anymore.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
What about pulling our radio and patching it with the Chinese FXZ?

[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
Currently no.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
With CWM (actually the safestrap version) we will be able to flash ROMs. We don't need an unlocked bootloader for ROMs, just kernels, and an actual recovery. Safstrap is a sideloaded version of CWM, so you can't flash a new kernel. So the ROMs will only be skin deep at this point, but we have a place to start at the moment.

We still need to keep searching for the unlocked bootloader though.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
What's the difference between a kernal and a ROM
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
A kernel is the lowest level of an operating system In windows it is called the registry. The kernel handles all the interpretation between the actual software layer of the OS, and applications, it handles all of the hardware, and manages all software calls to the hardware.

Here is the wikipedia definition, if you want to know more:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing)

In the case of a custom ROM, it usually contains all of the software needed to run android, and the kernel, that is usually a better one than stock and has the ability to overclock, etc.

In our case a ROM will just contain the software needed to run android, and give us the ability to theme it, since I am trying to deodex the stock ROM for us.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
So is there no other way to add the frequency tables so we can overclock?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
There was another thread that was recently posted on that, and it seems that they can get it up to 1.2GHZ, without a kernel that has the under-volt over-volt built in.

Here is the link to get it to 1200MHZ, with the stock load:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1405964

you just need to put that 1200 file at the bottom of the /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file.

I'm still waiting for my Atrix 2, so I couldn't help yet, but I'm wondering.. is there anything that prevent us from running the cheesecake project from a *nix server?

If I get the it correctly, it should be a simple http programming .. so if we could run the program on a *nix server, put a cronjob every other hours we could even create a bash script to look for the "unlock" string ..
