And that is why we have to edit the code and make sure all the GSM parts are linked before the compile, as well as things like pulling the important libs, that need to be compiled against, from our phone, and even find a way to get our kernel into a straight kernel file, not a ramdisk image, so that we can compile against it.

There is way too many things that we have to do just to attempt something like this for this phone, and why rdavisct and I have both sort of given up on any AOSP stuff, until we can unlock the bootloader, it is just such a pain in the rear.

I am going to try one or two more things with CM9 and then I am officially giving up the ghost on getting an AOSP working on this phone, i have been at it for 6 months now, with very little luck, I had at one time gotten it to work, but that was with a great version of kexec, and that will not even install with 2.3.6 running.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
That really sucks, you have put so much work into this, and gotten nowhere all because moto thinks they have to lock down their devices. WTF is the point. I would love it if they would do what htc did and make it so you could unlock but void your warranty. I don't want to scam them by returning a device I broke. I just want to be able to mod my phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] rdavisct:
Agreed,if it doesnt pay off after doing what jim or I plan on trying,that's a wrap for me untill (if ever) the bootloader is unlocked.

Meanwhile i will be focusing my work on the eken a90 advanced tablet. Still waiting on its arrival in the mail.
[Motorola Atrix 2] justinsims241:
Question:Do you think if you install the MERetail ROM on AT&T Atrix from the other thread, you would be able to install this ROM? Excuse me if this question is stupid.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
DON'T INSTALL EITHER ROM ON AN AT&T PHONE!!!!

It has been attempted before, and you will not be happy with the results, if you can even get it to flash.

As I have said, and I can't count how many times now, ICS will be out in 2-12 weeks, just hang tight. It makes no sense to mess up your phone for the very small changes that ICS brings.
[Motorola Atrix 2] gvsukids:
I would hope ics brings big changes. From my experience on the inspire, ics brought better battery life and a vanilla atmosphere with no bloatware
[Motorola Atrix 2] xanadu:
Battery life is maybe better but there are a lot of bloatware. With moderate using, 2G sync it lasts 4 days+

even better. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] xanadu:
Yesterday I tested MB865 Mearet ICS OTA on ME865 HKTW: it works flawlessly with same method as on Searet MB865.

Purpose of re-flashing: ME865 with HKTW ICS contains a lot of bugs and connectivity problems in Europe.

1, Flashed latest Mearet sbf with Rsd lite on ME865 HKTW

2, After reboot shown MB865 in /settings/about and downloaded latest 2.3.6 OTA: istall went fine.

3, From sdcard Mearet ICS OTA upgraded rom to 4.0.4.

It works perfectly, no battery stat and browser bugs, 3G/Hsdpa/wifi, etc works fine too.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ari197:
so the MEARET version of MB865 already has an official ICS ?

Where's the update for the AT&T version ? is AT&T the who is holding things up here ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
Its not an official one.. its just a leak that was found on one of the Motorola's servers.. read the post properly..
[Motorola Atrix 2] ari197:
Well, I he said he got an OTA update... I assume OTA would means that it being pushed by moto..
[Motorola Atrix 2] GaganPla:
i installed this ics rom on my searet phone with root .....but there is some issues with root ......superuser is there nd i installed busybox from market but when i try to gain root access it gives error .... no root found or try to update su or busybox? anyone facing this issue??

ITS OK PROBLEM SOLVED...IGNORE THIS POST
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
OK, ask anyone here and they will tell you I am usually tolerant of this stuff but, come on, read the thread for once, it is written all over.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
Yes it is different, as said in a million places around here. I am not trying to be mean, just making a point, Now on to find all your examples since you can't .
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
lol.......
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
heres one place.

it is not exactly even about the hardware differences, it is that the non AT&T fxzs will not flash on AT&T hardware, meaning using this is not possible. if you look at the internals of these, the kernel is different. the international ones seem to possibly have differences in the radio and gps.

anything else? It just pisses me off when people don't read before posting.

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

do you agree?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Are you always this dense?

Take a look at my post above (this was post number 268 in this same thread) for the reason this will NOT work on the AT&T version. You are more than welcome to brick your phone and when You do both lkrasner and I will not help you since you were warned and all you did was give people crap, because they told you to read and you were too lazy!
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
Thanks, thats the one I was looking for. I guess I am not the only one that feels this way.

On another note: I think I may have an idea to get a sort of ics going for us. As you may recall the droid 3 and 4 aokp nightlies that were compiled on a 2.3.6 kernel will boot for us, with no radio. According to multiple posts I have read I should be able to fix that by replacing some files from our current ICS dump. (basically everything that your proprietary files script gets) I think I could even use the 2.3.6 files, but I should play it safe. Now I just have to find the link to where to get those builds. :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
I ask stupid questions at times but try to search before I do..... My sig is a attempt to detour this type of thing.....

What are the differences and why this would not work on att this would be a good sticky....

Got to add this to my sig also.....
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
That is a great idea! I would try it with the 2.3.6 files first, since the AOKP stuff is GB underneath, right now. Then if that bombs try it from the leak, but you may need the wifi and radio firmwares right from the US AT&T version from 2.3.6 since it is firmware it should still work.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Hopefully you'll have better luck then I have, I've replaced files from both 2.3.6 and the ICS leak and haven't had any luck. Followed several tutorials about porting and everythingand haven't had zero luck with any of it.

If anyone wants to know what all I've tried pm me for the exact details, but I do have a modified build.prop that does boot with AOKP but still doesn't give working data.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
same. No luck. I have last nights cm9 with a modified build.prop booting but still no radio whatsoever. We ned a gsm rom to have a chance. I think I will not evn try to build cm9 with our GB kernel (that is what they did for the droid 3/4). It might work, but would b a lot of work considering we have an update coming up soon. I will build cm9 then most likely.
[Motorola Atrix 2] siddhesh1609:
Signal issue

If this is off topic please pardon me, I am having an issue with my MB865.

In order to flash ics I had to OTA update my Atrix 2 (MEARET) to 55.28.37 but from the moment I OTA updated my device to 55.28.37 I have been loosing my signal .

After manually selecting network signal appears for 1 or 2 second and goes off , I have even tried standing below vodafone tower to get signal stable but no luck it never happened on earlier firmware (The issue happens in both GB and ICS) with 55.28.37

So I wanted to ask 2 questions.

1. Can this issue be resolved?

2. Can I flash the older radio to this update?

(sorry if this is a repost but I couldn't find answer with search button)
[Motorola Atrix 2] GaganPla:
its same issue i had with vodafone sim .......but its strange to see even ics having this issue..... here follow this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1679473 i havent tried since i change sim to tata docomo but technically it should work
[Motorola Atrix 2] siddhesh1609:
Worked

Thanks gagan and cogeary it worked like a charm , the only thing I changed was instead using AT and T radio he provided I used SEARET stock firmwares radio .. Thanks again for ur help.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Dogie52:
Still no way to get this on AT&T? :/
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
No, I won't even bother getting mad this time, look back a few posts
[Motorola Atrix 2] ITzRicardo94:
Can anyone send me a private message with detailed tutorial on how to install? I can't install, don't know exactly what to do.
[Motorola Atrix 2] iraqmilner:
I'll happily answer your question. The answer is "no" for the time being. I understand reading over 30 pages is a bit much. Try the search functionality :) It will normally direct you yo the answer you seek.
[Motorola Atrix 2] zeph_syk:
While flashing the ROM, i got the below error message!

"assert failed: file_getprop("/system/build.prop","ro.build.fingerprint")=="MOTO/EDISONMEARET/edison:2.3.6/5.5.1-EDEM-28-37/80:user/release-keys"

Please someone help me :(

Edit1: ON further Research, I flashed from Searet to Mearet, everything is working like a charm except the radio :( i loose my connectivity.
[Motorola Atrix 2] zeph_syk:
Hi can you forward me the .img file for the radio please, i am unable to find FXZ for Indian Searet :(

Hi Buddy,

Can you please provide me the link to download stock SEARET or just provide me the Radio.img to flash.

Yes I know I read wanted to make sure it seemed like people were working out of the thread. Thanks for the fast reply.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
We are working hard. the problem really is our locked bootloader. it makes it nearly impossible to do since we can't have a custom kernel. ICS without an ICS kernel really isn't ICS. some builds for the droid 3 were built off of a GB kernel and will boot fine for us, but there is no radio or gps since they are for cdma. using this same build process is proving to be very difficult for us, and modifying those builds isn't working either.

Once we get an ATT leak or official we SHOULD be able to get cm9 working. of course that is in the same sense that we should have been able to get cm7 working, and that still hasn't really worked out.
[Motorola Atrix 2] usju:
N00B Alert !!

Can i flash this onto my Atrix 2 without bricking it?

This is my current ROM details:

System version: 55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US

Model number: MB865

Baseband version: 2011-11-16 23:52 Off.Bld LUD_EDISON_R1D7_PATCH_36_111116_2336

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-g98a0a06 hkdp76@ca25rhe91 #1

The reason I am asking is that this thread does not seem to be vey n00b friendly. In the first post daavis says: this is an ics update for any mb865 (other than at&t ...

Now my phone is not carrier locked but under the screen i have an at&t logo. So i'mm confused what phone i have. Is it an mb865 or and at&t ???
[Motorola Atrix 2] :
It wont work.
[Motorola Atrix 2] GaganPla:

download searet firmware from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php:o
[Motorola Atrix 2] pupadi:
I've been trying to flash this on my new Atrix 2. Unfortunately all my efforts have ended up in the 'Status 7' error shown below.

Also, noticed that all the downloaded files had a CRC 'F5FC14EA' (as per the CRC file inside the 7z it should be '4126938346') - not sure what's wrong here. I've tried multiple downloads on different computers (and from different mirrors).

Error -

-- Install /sdcard/A ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
assert failed: mount("ext3", "MTD", "system", "/system")
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

Following are the steps I followed -

Flash MEARET (5.5.1-EDEM-27-MEARET_cfc.xml.zip)

Boot and let OTA download and install

Root using motofail method (2.3.6Root.zip)

Installed "Atrix 2 Bootstrapper" and made sure CWM recovery is available

Power off and boot to stock recovery

Flash the "Blur_Version.55.28.37.MB865.MERetail.en.06.zip"

Workarounds tried -

Flashing using CWM Recovery (ended up in similar error)

Wipe Cache and Factory Reset before flashing

Any suggestions/help on how to proceed from here would be great.

Thanks in advance :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] badbomb:
although it may be troublesome, maybe you can try repeating all the steps right from flashing of mearet firmware and then see if it is working... in fact, I did that around 3 times before I got the leak working on my phone... and also doing factory reset, clearing the cache and dalvik numerous times between firmwares
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
I've had some time to think about this and look at a few things. Why couldn't we change the updater.script to check for the US version of 2.3.6 and all the necessary apks that are needed? It's just an idea, maybe Jim will chime in on this.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yeah I thought about that, but the issue we will run into here is that the kernel on the US version is still GB not ICS, so we may get FCs all over the place, and I am not 100% sure if the kernel is signed with the same cipher or not.

The real issue here is that these are just Linux patch files, and they are "patches" to be applied to the files on the phone. If I am not mistaken applying the wrong patch to a file will corrupt it. At least that has always been the case with kernel patch files, that or the patch command realizes the part it is supposed to patch is not there, and it fails.

Here is a decent write up on using GNU patches from TI:

i have found blur_version.55.1.28.mb865.tnz.en.nz

could someone tell me if this is ics and if its safe to install
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
Look inside and see. Now if you don't know how or if you can't tell yourself if you can flash it then you should not attempt it.

Motorola lied and I'm still locked mb865

well iv tried flashing through the phone from settings/about phone that failed then tried stock recovery that failed and this update is actually for my carrier and phone i dont get what the problem is
[Motorola Atrix 2] throwawayaccount9500:
Does this work on AT&T?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
No go look in the general section, the AT&T leak is posted over there. I put it there, since it is technically not my work, so it does not belong in the dev section.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jonathan.inesta:
Yes it work like charm! You have to be stock 2.3.6 then go to stock recovery then install update from sd. Select motoblur...and you're done! You will probably hace to try it several times. I've to try twice then it worked!

hey do you recommend me to flash this zip on my phone? im on stock 2.3.6 55.28.37

is there any bugs? is it a full ICS version?
[Motorola Atrix 2] chrisn91:
Rom was every stable it's not full ics it's just based off the leak

so do you recommend me to flash it? wont we have problem with the official ICS for A2 in future?

why i cant flash this on my phone? in CWM i selected install zip from sd card and selected the file(i extracted the file before inserting in sd card) but it tells me installation aborted!

would you guys help me? i downloaded completely the file (249 mb on zip)
[Motorola Atrix 2] chrisn91:
Idk if it will affect the official ics flash at ur own risk
[Motorola Atrix 2] Black Metal:
its ok but whats going on with flashing? why i cant flash this zip on my phone from CWM?:(
[Motorola Atrix 2] sharingan92:
its because it needs to be done from stock recovery so you need to flash phone back to complete stock using rsd lite please use the search button before posting there is plently of posts stating the exact same thing and a guide that works perfectly

thanks for your attention,but my problem is still exist :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] chrisn91:

Official ICS OTA for Mearet is available. Downloading now..... 672.1.18.en.06

Bad news:.

- 2G bug still there (after switchung to "2G only still are 3G or H in status bar).

- some languages are removed like hungarian.

- can't see advantages to flash this rom

So, I am starting with atrix2 bootstrap/restore all from cwm backup. :)

Not in my country "jordan"

What is the official version number?

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------

672.1.18.en.03 is avaiable via cheescacke, but this is the same leaked version !! nothing new !

bugs:when low battery,system hangs,2g/3g icons with no data allway appears
[Motorola Atrix 2] filip990:
I flashed 672.1.18.en.06 (OTA) last night. Everything is working fine, except the battery. It goes 10% down in 1 hour with 50-60% of that time with screen on (when the screen is on, it's when I watch the stats in BBS, no games, no video, no YT). I have data sync off, auto brightness, wifi off, 3g off, gps off. In BBS, "PowerManagerService" and "deleted_wake_locks" are in first place, but they are not "growing" anymore when I refresh it. It's small percentage (2,7% and 1%, so I guess this is not the problem). Also, I have "deep sleep" (so my phone can sleep) in "other" section, but 100% at "no data connection" and 100% at "no or unknown signal". I'm not sure what that means, cause I have signal all the time. Except that, everything seems normal, but something drains battery very fast.
[Motorola Atrix 2] sad_but_cool1:
i think you must clear the battery states after flashing any new rom after fully charging the battery.cause old battery stats will gives wronge data to the OS
[Motorola Atrix 2] filip990:
OK, how to do that?
[Motorola Atrix 2] sad_but_cool1:
in my case (rooted mb865,busybox),i installed bootmenu manager (includs CWM recovery image),booting to custome recovery,then to choose to wipe battery stats.
[Motorola Atrix 2] filip990:
I wiped data and cache an hour ago, but didnt test anything yet, cause of CL :)

Is wiping data and cache what you had in mind?
[Motorola Atrix 2] sad_but_cool1:
NO,not wiping data and cache, i mean wiping battery stats,(same menu with wiping dalvik cache)
[Motorola Atrix 2] filip990:
I google it, ok, then I need to install CWM again...
[Motorola Atrix 2] xanadu:
I am planning to make a multilanguage cwm-backup from my lite system you can try it if ready. Battery drain in standby with 2G is about 0.5% /hour. (with wifi on about 1% /hour). My rom is debloated, deblurred, deodexed, some apk added to /system.

if you want to test it, PM me, please.

Make sure in ES you go to settings and check allow root access. If not you will not see the folder. It worked like a charm on Razr just no RSD back to GB build.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
You can try doing that... although you can never be sure what will happen. I wouldn't recommend it, but if you do try it then apply 43v3r root and/or OTA Rootkeeper.

Ohwait... it WILL NOT flash on a 55.28.37 ROM that is zipaligned or deodexed because it changes the hashes so verification and patching will fail. I can easily make a stock rooted ROM out of it though but it will take ~1hr to upload.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ryanwv24:
yes before doing you must have su up to date app and binary and use ota root keeper to keep root.
