[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Guys I've been seeing a lot of people having problems flashing new ROMS and having problems with using RSD and flashing the FXZ. This thread is here to guide you on a fix that will keep you up and running no matter what problems you ever encounter. This is also for the beginners who have never flashed a ROM before and are scared they may not be happy with it, this will be a way for you to get back to exactly where you were before the flash.

Lets start with the items we will need. Everythimg I'm listing I personally use everyday so they have been tried and tested by myself and many more people on here so before anyone comes on here saying this didnt work for me, let me stop you there because they all work.

YOU WILL HAVE TO BE ROOTED BEFORE ANY OF THIS WILL WORK FOR YOU. THIS IS ALL COVERED IN THE BEGINNERS GUIDE FOR BOTH 2.3.5 AND 2.3.6 SO I'M NOT GOING TO COVER IT AGAIN

ATRIX2 BOOTSTRAP

get it HERE

INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO USE

Steps to use bootstrap:

1. Install the Atrix2Bootstrap.apk

2. Select "Bootstrap Recovery"

3. Superuser will prompt for permissions

4. Select "Reboot Recovery"

When the phone reboots it will boot up into Clockworkmod Recovery.

J.Y.Daddy's BOOT INTO CWM RECOVERY ON BOOT

get it HERE

installation instructions:

1. First, CWM Recovery install.(Atrix2 Bootstrap)

2. Attachment file(RAZR-CWMOnBoot-Global-J.Y.Daddy.zip) download and copy to SDcard.

3. Boot into CWM using Atrix2 Bootstrap

4. in recovery menu: "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip from sdcard" -> select file.

5. After completed update, reboot.

6. After reboot, OPEN Superuser and set permissionons on Atrix2 Bootstrap to deny. (Very important)

7. reboot. (is all finished)

* After all is completed. On every reboot, you will boot into recovery. No big deal just select reboot and you will boot up normally now.

NOW GO AND GET THE REBOOT FROM THE POWER BUTTON MENU

Get it HERE

1. Boot into CWM

2. Wipe Cache

3. Wipe Dalvik Cache (under advanced)

4. Install the reboot.zip

Now that you have all of this installed corretly and have checked to make sure it is all working properly make a CWM backup NOW! It doesnt matter if you are on 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 if what you are running is working very good and you are pleased with it make a backup of it. This way if something goes wrong you always have a backup and now have access to it upon boot so you will no longer have to ever use RSD unless you totally fry your phone.

THIS WILL SPEED UP THE NANDROID PROCESS DRAMASTICALLY!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE THIS BUT IT SAVES A LOT OF TIME AND I LOVE IT

Go into sdcard/clockworkmod and create a file named ".hidenandroidprogress" without the parenthesis. The easiest way I have found to do this is using ES File Explorer and go into your sdcard/clockworkmod and hit the menu button and select new, then file and call it ".hidenandroidprogress " . This file wont show up until you look at your phone on your computer but its there. Im sure you can use the same process using Root explorer.

How to perform a backup

1. boot into CWM

2. select backup and restore

3. select backup and let CWM do it thing, be patient this will take a while

4. select reboot system now

That's it your done! Make a mental note of the date and what system you were on in case you have multiple backups on file.

A helpful tip, I have a folder just for all of my backups on my computer that way I dont have 5 or so backups to confuse me on my phone. Each backup has its own folder with system name and what ROM I was using.

Now that you have all of this installed and a backup go out and try some of the great ROMS we have with the confidence that if soemthing goes bad you now have a way to get back to exactly where you were before the problem started.

WHAT HAPPENS IT I HAVE A BOOTLOOP?

No big deal just pull your battery and let it boot into CWM and then perform a restore and you will be back and running in a matter of minutes!

Guys this is truly the fastest and easiest means by far that I have found. Hopefully it will help you too!!!!
