This is the ICS RELEASE for the MEARET firmware :D

Also I'm not sure if it will flash even on the stock firmware. It also patches the boot.img, but the MEARET boot.img has a different md5sum than the AT&T one so it might not work. And as Jimbridgman has said earlier, on Moto ICS you really need EVERYTHING ICS (boot.img, mbm, lbl, system.img, etc etc) else it won't boot or it won't really work.
[Motorola Atrix 2] eL_MeXiCaNo:
So ppl with AT&T wont get this update right?
[Motorola Atrix 2] xanadu:
Update to ICS in progress:

Removing unneeded files...

Patching system files....

Patching boot image....

Creating empty directories in system

Unpacking new file...

Unpacking new recovery...

Symlinks and permissions

[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
I'm saying it probably won't work because this is an update for a different firmware. A CWM backup of this firmware won't boot if you restore it on a different firmware, but it might help us get CM9/AOKP fully working.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Ok, I am looking at this right now, and I see a few things that worry me.

1) It says in the title that it is MB865, but also MERetail... so that is the first sign something is not right for us AT&T users.

2) From what I quoted above, from Rdavisct, note this:

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

This means that you MUST be on 100% stock 2.3.6, DO NOT try this if you are not on the 2.3.6 FXZ.

I would be very careful with these leaked versions, I have been hearing some horror stories of people not being able to apply ANY fxz, and since ICS is not official, if you try to return/warranty your phone, you will have to actually cook it in the microwave for 10 seconds, so that it WILL NOT TURN ON.

I think what we should do with this is dissect the proper pieces we need and try to make CM9 work now. That is a 100% guaranteed ROM, that will NOT kill our ability to fxz.

I am vary wary of updates from Moto after some of the things that they have done as of late. More and more devs are staying away from the Moto devices, because moto is on a rampage against us, so they are forcing all of their android devices, to be 100% locked both in the boot loader and OS now.

I think we need to keep looking for these pre-releases, and use the things we need out of them, rather than trying to apply the whole thing, I think that is the safest bet for now.

I am still wading through everything, but I will keep everyone up to date as I find more.
[Motorola Atrix 2] rdavisct:
What firmware did u upgrade from? And can u please upload a backup?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
I'm gonna shoot jim a PM and get him to check this out. I don't see how it could stop an fxz back but I could bee wrong. This is ICS but who knows if it will boot.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:

[Motorola Atrix 2] xanadu:
Used "razr method"

1, flashed with rsd lite 5.5.1-EDEM-27-MEARET_cfc.xml.zip

2, upgraded OTA to 55.28.37

3, rooted and installed ota rootkeeper

4, from stock recovery flashed Blur_Version.55.28.37.MB865.MERetail.en.06.zip

ICS works but no root. Tried to update su but no success.
[Motorola Atrix 2] daavvis:
They only put them up for a few min i got super super lucky!!!

Dont forget to thank jim rdavisct corgary and everyone else working on this!!!!! Im almost home to help! !!! Stupid work i havnteven unzipped this yet lol
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
1) AFAIK... "MEARET" = Middle East Retail, but it is an MB865. Thus we get Blur_Version.55.28.37.MB865.MERetail.en.06.
[Motorola Atrix 2] rdavisct:
So u have an me865 phone then, yes?

Not an mb865..
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Can you, or have you tried to fxz back to 2.3.6?

There is a root method for the razor ICS leak, you can try that as well.

[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
will it hurt anything to try?
[Motorola Atrix 2] daavvis:
Look above your post for instructions beware.... and u need to be stock
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yes that is correct, I was just wanting to let everyone that is on AT&T know that this firmware will definitely not flash for an AT&T phone, so no sense in attempting. ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Maybe? Maybe not? Probably not lol... but I'm about 99% sure you won't be able to flash it, the boot.img (among others) should fail.
[Motorola Atrix 2] daavvis:
I feel like a nerd hero.... lol
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Oh oops :).

[Motorola Atrix 2] xanadu:
I have MB865 was on SEARET originally today flashed to MEARET due ICS.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
so searet will flash to mearet and mearet will update to ics. what about flashing ics right over searet. just throwing ideas out. we've got to get this straightened out
[Motorola Atrix 2] daavvis:
Jim is this the kernel u needed for cm9?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
If I try to update from stock at&t which I understand will probably not work, will I be able to fxz back to stock if it works/goes horribly wrong?
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
That would not work, the update would fail before it even begins to modify stuff.

AT&T can only fxz to AT&T. Some/all international ROMs can fxz to some/all other international ROMs.
[Motorola Atrix 2] xanadu:
First tried over searet- no success like at razr with other GB version.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
kernel- probably not since there is no source code.

Radio- HELL YES it aught to help

we will get this all figured out, just stay calmer than I am right now and don't do anything stupid unless you want to, in which case please do to help us out. if you don't mind hardbricking your phone, then microwaving it to hide all evidence and possibly returning it, please tell us so you can be a test dummy :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] marquavious:
So my at&t ATRIX 2 won't work
[Motorola Atrix 2] rdavisct:
Cha-ching! :-D

Im gonna try the 4ever root since the other method didn't work.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
we need to figure out how to get this running on att stuff. someone running it on anything please make a CWM backup and post a link or PM me and/or all our other devs
[Motorola Atrix 2] daavvis:
WORD!!!!!!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yes, that is why we have only been able to get 1 processor working with CM9, due to having to use kexec.

Now the one that was posted way back when in the dev section works on the 2.3.6/ 2.3.5 kernel, we have been running it like that for a long time, but it is not 100% ICS anymore that way.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
We will not be able to get this up and running on the AT&T firmware. I will upload the system.ext3.tar from a CWM backup soon so we can use pieces of it for CM9/AOKP.

If you want Moto ICS on your AT&T A2 before Q3 then get on an AT&T firmware and cheesecake until you find an update :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
on another note. start checking cheesecake like crazy!!!! WE NEED MORE LEAKS. THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY HERE. SO WE NEED EVERY SINGLE PERSON TO CHECK LIKE CRAZY AND DOWNLOAD SINCE THEY WILL ONLY STAY UP FOR A FEW MINUTES AT MOST!! THEN LET THE DEVS NO VIA PM ASAP.

THANK YOU

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

I stand corrected. Didn't realize we didn't need a custom kernel for cm9... well i did, i just wasn't thinking.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
+1:D
[Motorola Atrix 2] marquavious:
Alright how exactly do you check cheesecake?
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Damn, whenever I'm at school the forums go crazy! :p So from what I'm understanding this will not boot on the AT&T MB865, right? If we pull the radio drivers though can't we replace them from the ones for CM9 and get that or AOKP running?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
thats the hope
[Motorola Atrix 2] daavvis:
Jim couldnt we use the kotex or whatever bypass to boot this or would the work involved to make it happen be pointless because cm9 would be easier and have less crap blur and be more stable in general?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
I know I'm not Jim, and don't quote me here, but Kekex is just for booting an unsigned kernel on a locked bootloader, and is not perfect. this kernel is signed and will flash, but it won't work on the ATT phones.

EDIT:

I realized this is the second time I have spoken for you, Jim, and it is probably pissing you off so sorry. I am excited like everyone else for ICS being sort of here and I'm just tryig to help. My knowledge on this stuff is nothing compared to yours.
[Motorola Atrix 2] daavvis:
Lol no worries.... he said this was the kernel he needed a few post back so i was wondering.....

My gf is getting pissed im ignoring her and does not care about this stuff.... im jumpin out my skin! !!!! Hahaha

Edit- ok i get it needs to be worked on so its not signed, but gives him the base he needs to build the unsigned kernel...... i think right?
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
Omfg kotex that just made a crappy day so much better:rolleyes: mind if i quote that for my sig.....
[Motorola Atrix 2] daavvis:
Lol go for it haha
[Motorola Atrix 2] xanadu:
No success with root.
[Motorola Atrix 2] daavvis:
man i hate at&t more and friggin more every day ......

edit ----- can i use this screenshot on op?
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
Anyone find if this has a s-off bootloader?????
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I got a hard laugh out of this.... LOL... It is not kotex, I think that is to plug a hole, not create one..... It is kexec....

The thing is once we go down the kexec path, we can ONLY use one CPU with kexec, since the stock kernel is stuck booted on the first processor, and we can't really shut it down, so You are in a sense running a VM of the kernel and ROM that you want, and only allowing it 1 CPU, since the "real" one is on CPU 1... You will never see the other version running, if you setup kexec correctly, but that is in essence what it is.

Our best bet is to use what we have to get a true version of CM9 working. We can get a native version working, for all the revisions of this phone, once the leaks are out for all of them. For now the build will basically be the Asian versions of this phone, that can have the CM9 build working correctly. I have torn it apart, and we MIGHT, I stress MIGHT, be able to port over the parts we need, but there is no guarantee that we can make it work for the AT&T version, with out the leak for it.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

[Motorola Atrix 2] daavvis:
Ok so everyone is clear, including me, we need to be running a a&tt based rom to get an update that we can use from cheesecake?....

And on a side note......

And far as radio..isnt it no good since its radio for me865? ..different than our mb865 radio.i could be wrong.please correct me if i am
[Motorola Atrix 2] rdavisct:
@xanadu

Lets make a trade ..my girlfriend for your phone. Deal?..
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
To get the update from cheesecake you can run any ROM on this site that you want, you just will NEVER be able to install it, it will fail during the pre-install checks.

Doing all of this with cheesecake, it is not the point to install these updates, but to get them into the devs hands. That way we can use them in the best way that we can to either move our ROMS forward, or find new hacks, and even to possibly still find that elusive unlocked bootloader unicorn that we have all been looking for.

This time it looks like the international users will get some updates to their custom ROMS, and maybe even a version of CM9.... Those of us in the US, on AT&T or another GSM carrier here, will need to wait for the next leak to make CM9 work. we are close, just not there yet.
[Motorola Atrix 2] xanadu:
First send some pictures please:)

Radio seems same as before; my Atriy2 is sim free.

Now trying flash back Mearet GB with Rsd Lite.

[Motorola Atrix 2] smgulsby:
Huh...huh, "kotex"
[Motorola Atrix 2] Bryan.:
it's not a ICS I've this it's just an update nothing more.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I beg to differ it is ICS version 4.04. If you received an update from OTA, and not cheesecake, with this version number than show us a screen shot of your phone information screen in settings.

There is already someone on here who installed the update successfully, and has provided the screenshot to prove it... I have personally torn this thing apart, and I can say with 100% certainty it is ICS.

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

That is just bad ass! Now we know that we can go back to GB if needed with the fxz!!!

This is the best news about this whole thing yet!
[Motorola Atrix 2] rdavisct:
For cheescake to pick up updates for our u.s. at&t ,do i have to be running a us rom? Or will it do just find checking using my bullet rom (int. Indian 55.27.38)

Ive been wondering if it matters which rom we are running while we check cheesecake servers to find leaks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Good question, but I am thinking it is based on your "locale" setting on the phone.

As you saw though, we had daavvis find the MERET firmware today, from I think a US based AT&T device, so my thinking could be off... and it just looks for edison firmware period, and does not look for anything like region, or MB vs ME, etc.
[Motorola Atrix 2] smgulsby:
Jim I downloaded Tasker, could you please explain how to automate checking cheesecake?
[Motorola Atrix 2] ross1998:
1.2 defualt clock speed

Is it true that the defualt clock speed on this leak is 1.2 ghz. Cant remember where i read that but while surfing the new ics threads saw it somewhere. Can anyone confirm?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
i'd love to know too. I love tasker and I can't quite figure out how to get it to do this.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
It is a huge pain in the rear! I had to create several scripts and call them from tasker, then I had to setup tasker to call the java, call that checks for the updates, after the scripts are run.

I have been talking with cogeary, and I think he is working on an eisier way to use cheesecake, I have asked him to implement some code to make tasker aware, so that we can just create a very basic profile... It took me 2 days to get it all to work, and writing all the scripts I still plan to do a write up, and ditribute my scripts and profile, but with the ICS work, now I won't get to it today. I am hoping that the cogeary can get something with chessecake v3 that is tasker aware, so that we don't have to worry about my convoluted way through tasker, but if that is all we have, then I will try and work on the how to tomorrow while I am working ( I work from home ).

If kexex uses one CPU, are we using 2 currently by using custom gb roms?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
yes, we don't use kexec for our roms. we use the stock kernel
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Hm it's turning out to be a bit harder than I had hoped. The manual method on the bootloader unlock thread seems to be a little dated; when I try changing the server in /system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.service.blur/defaults.xml the server stays the same. I will do some looking into seeing if I can recreate all the needed methods rather than using "am start -a".

I'm sad :( I'll be gone for a month starting this Saturday so I hope to do as much as I can tonight+tomorrow.

Any idea to root this Android 4.0.4?

CASUAL-PublicBeta4.jar, Unlockroot, Motofail, SOC tried -no success.

OTA Rootkeeper-don't save su and superuser.apk can't upgrade it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
There is another way to root it that we have used in the past for keeping root through an OTA. If you will flash the fxz, then flash 55.28.37, then root it, you can edit /system/bin/mount_ext3.sh to set correct file permissions of su and superuser.apk. Follow these instructions, then flash the ICS update. It might not work but it's worth a try.

So you're saying that you've tried using OTA Rootkeeper and it doesn't work?
[Motorola Atrix 2] xanadu:
Thank you, I'll try it. OTA rootkeeper is useless in this case. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Good luck! But be careful with what text editor you use (don't use ES text editor) and make sure you set correct file permissions. If the line endings or permissions get screwed up you might softbrick. To be safe I use adb push/pull. On Windows you should use Notepad++ to edit it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:

[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I think Xanadu, stated he tried 4ever root, and it did not sick, it did not allow the init script to update the perms, from what it sounds like... either that or the init script got patched, to thwart that.... If anyone doubt's that Moto reads the XDA boards, things like the Atrix and photon lock downs are proof that they do, as well as the root cat and mouse stuff.... I am guessing that Moto has already incorporated a fix for 4ever root into the builds.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Hm... I have another idea :D. Can you flash the update in CWM? If you can flash the update, then before you reboot, flash this to add su/superuser and set the correct permissions (note that it installs su to /system/bin, so when you root before flashing the update make sure the root method also installs to /system/bin).
