SCv7 to stock GB

again used RSD lite..To install the SCv7 you need to install the bootmenu manager which doesnt work with the rsd lite...

you have to uninstall the boot menu manager..but the power off button will still have additional options like reboot..reboot to bootloader etc....even now when you try to flash the stock searet GB rom, the rsd lite will tell you that it is unable to put the phone into fast boot menu...

this is what i did...

once completely booted in SCv7 rom, i connect to comp and made sure that it was detected in RSD lite. Now just as i clicked the start button in rsd lite, i manually chose the reboot to bootloader option on the phone's reboot menu. the RSD lite will show an error msg for a few seconds, but once the phone is in the fastboot menu, it will be detected again in the RSD.. then start the flash....

The timing has to be perfect....

As i was in scv7, it dint allow me to go back to ics leak by any method... this was my last hope and it worked!!!

Hi. I'm sick of waiting and have almost made up my mind to install the latest cheesecake leak as it is probably the same as the impending OTA.

Any cons to flashing the leak? It seems that I can flash back to 2.3.6, but I'm asking anyway to be doubly sure - can I go back to 2.3.6, if required?

PS: Can somebody please confirm the MD5 checksum of the latest build.
[Motorola Atrix 2] NikShine:
Hi,

I wanted to ask if I update with latest file 672.1.18.en.03 but what are the steps to revert back to 2.3.6.

It might sound silly but just want to confirm bcoz i m thinking of using this leak instead of waiting for OTA update.

Thanks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kousik:
Same here. Once I saw the Cambodian OTA has the same build number, I guess they're going to pass on the same build as final, I am too tempted to go ahead with build 18. I think unlike ATT version, there is no report of bricking when going back to 2.3.6. I don't know why, doesn't the Asian ICS upgrade have a higher version of bootloader? I searched but didn't find any bricking report in this thread.

MD5SUM: 4bd914ef81084b34ed3f0afa1bcf2d65 ICS.672.1.18.en.03.zip

Yes. Actually you can't apply one on top of another.
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
Here goes nothing..... :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] devilhunter47:
Okk i am on version 17..do give feedback after flashing:)
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
Sure. I'll install in a while.

Edit: Flashed without any problems :)

So far, no problems with the build either. Everything seems smooth.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Dadadumbum:
Works like a charm

Flashed the latest version without any problems. Just an FYI, if you want to install this version, and have a rooted Atrix running on 2.3.6, make sure you haven't deleted any of the apps that come along with the stock, like the weather widget.apk. I did the mistake and had to flash the entire firmware again before updating.

Cheers :cyclops:
[Motorola Atrix 2] timmytim:
Do you have to be on 2.3.6 stock to flash it? I tried from the stock older ICS leak and RSD fails at step 7 like clock work.

Battery drain ICS

I am on 672.1.17 version of ICS leak and experiencing huge battery drain issue. When the phone is fully charged at night, it goes from 100 to 80% in just 5 hours with internet and background sync off. I have tried to reset the phone too but am still experiencing this problem. Android OS seems to be consuming most of the battery. Any fix for this? or it has been fixed in 672.1.18 update?
[Motorola Atrix 2] xanadu:
Same here. I flashed again Mearet 2.3.6 sbf and Mearet ICS and battery drain in standby again under 1%/hour.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Dadadumbum:
Not necessarily. I updated the .17 version initially, but had second thoughts so I flashed back to 2.3.6 using the file given in this thread ( and RSD and it worked perfectly fine. Did you check your version of RSD lite because I remember reading somewhere in the forums that the latest RSD had some issues? And also did you try this ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1805975

[Motorola Atrix 2] nakung:
I'm use 672.1.18.very good on battery drain.Great rom so far.
[Motorola Atrix 2] anikadam:
Have you tried the Smart Actions - Battery Extender mode ? It helps in a way by stopping background sync whenever you lock the phone and some other things too. it can get annoying though if you use your phone frequently, cause it keeps disconnecting/connecting your background sync.

Also, Did you have any problems with GB ?

Which service provider are you on ?

Are you on 3g ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] androiddecoded:
Yeah, I was having the exact same problem on GB also. I noticed that when I was using TATA DOCOMO sim there wasn't any problem but I was having problems with IDEA sim. Currently I am on IDEA network and using 3G also. How different service provider are causing different battery problems? Can you explain it and please give me some fix for it? I have to charge it twice in the whole day. :(

I replaced my Sim with new IDEA sim few days ago but still the same story :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] anikadam:
Are you from mumbai ? Docomo doesnt have 3G in mumbai and many other areas, it might be 3G that is draining the battery on Idea.

Now, even i had gone through a lot a hassles for my battery drain issues, which finnally turned out to be due to the 32k Vodafone sim cards. but with the ics leak (17 one) it sorted out everything and now i am back on vodafone after switching to docomo for a month. so this might be a totally different issue, but still download this app 'Gsam Battery Monitor' itll help you check out maybe a rogue batt draining app.

Also try switching between 2G and 3G, use 3G only when u need to, 2G is good enough for notifications.

read Apex's Battery Guide, its highly recommended, helps you clear ALL of your doubts regarding a normal working of a battery and how to improve it and might help you to narrow down on your problem. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1839305

Give Smart Actions a try and see if you get any improvements after all this.:good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] androiddecoded:
I am from Hyderabad. I used Docomo in UP and it was 2G network. I have tried using Smart Actions. No improvements. I will try using 2G for few days. Please reply if you have any other fix. I am really fed up of this :( :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] anikadam:
i can understand buddy, battery drain can be a pain. but theres only so much you can do. thats why read the guide i gave you the link to. it'll help.

keep on 2G completely for a day after a full charge and also download the Gsam battery monitor.
[Motorola Atrix 2] androiddecoded:
Can you suggest me a good widget to toggle between 2G and 3G? Widgetsoid just opens the settings panel

Well the problem is temporarily solved. When I am on 2G battery drain is about 7% in 9 hours when the phone is almost idle. But I want a proper fix for it. Is the problem in my handset or in IDEA 3G network?
[Motorola Atrix 2] anikadam:
I'm quoting this from the Battery Guide by Apex

"

1) Turn Off Your Radio(s) When Not Using Them:

Radios are what connect your phone to the rest of the world. You have your general mobile connection, WiFi, data/internet connection (3G), GPS, and/or 4G. Those are listed in order from least to greatest in battery consumption. If you’re not using the radio turn it off. If you know you won’t be online for a long time, why turn 3G data on? If you’re at home, use WiFi instead of 3G. If you’re not using Google Maps why is your GPS on? You’d be amazed at how much battery life you can save just by turning off the radios that you aren’t using. "

Since your phone isnt draining any battery in idle mode, im pretty much sure that theres no problem with ur handset, still use your phone on 2G for a day. 3G does drain a lot of battery, i get around 14-15hours with 3G continuosly on my 2760mah extended battery. a proper fix will be to just toggle between 2G/3G according to use.

[Motorola Atrix 2] pupadi:
Yes, it does seem to be the same version (not sure if any content has been changed).

I've just got my hand on the official build - will check the MD5 and post the details.

You do not need to unroot to go back to 2.3.6 - just use RSDLite and flash the appropriate FXZ/SBF file.
[Motorola Atrix 2] anikadam:
did that already, thanks anyways ! :good:

Another thing, is it possible to fxz back from the latest leak, the v18 one, to GB ? Considering that its the official ota too, should we encounter any problem like the AT&T phones. Want to be sure before i flash any roms.

Hi all!

I'm new to all this android stuff, i bought my phone 1 month ago (this is my first android phone), and I saw on the internet that there's ICS update for atrix2 2-3 days ago, but I didn't receive any notifications yet (I'm not from India). I saw on this thread that these are updates for MB865 (well, I think that, cause they have "MB865" in their names after I downloaded it), and I have ME865. I just wanted to ask if these updates are compatibile for my phone. I also read somewhere that unlocked (or sim-free) phones must be updated manually and that I wouldn't get notification on my phone.

So, should I try to install the latest update from here, is it safe? Or should I wait for the update on my phone?

i have stock 2.3.6 and unrooted phone.

System version is 55.91.109.ME865.Retail.en.05 (I don't know if that's important)
[Motorola Atrix 2] devilhunter47:
Sorry you cannot install the update from this thread..this is for asia retail mb685..you can check for updates from phone settings and if available download OTA and install
[Motorola Atrix 2] xanadu:
You have to flash with rsd lite Mearet 2.3.6 and automatically you"ll get OTA ICS.
[Motorola Atrix 2] filip990:
Isn't that mixing firmwares?

What exactly mearet means?

Correct me if I'm wrong , but I think that's not for China (or hong kong) region...

My "configuration":
[Motorola Atrix 2] xanadu:
MEARET= Middle East Africa Retail in this case =EMEA retail (Europe, Middle East, Africa) european languages are in rom. Of course, if you are Chinese you need china/HKTW-rom.

Mearet (and Searet) roms works fine on ME865 (HKTW, China) too.
[Motorola Atrix 2] filip990:
OK, maybe I'll try to flash it.

Is there any risk of bricking the phone, or something like that?
[Motorola Atrix 2] xanadu:
I flashed a lot of ME865, MB865 with searet, mearet, cn, hktw roms and no one bricked. My MB865 was searet originally I flashed with HKTW roms, now I have mearet ICS with hungarian language.

Mearet ICS here
[Motorola Atrix 2] filip990:
Thank you, thank you!

I founded fxz: 5.5.1-EDEM-28-37-MEARET_cfc.xml

Flashed it without any problem, now the phone shows me MB865!

Also, i have notification for ICS.

Question is: should I flash it now (OTA), or should I flash ICS that you gave me? Or they are the same?

EDIT: Never mind, I flashed OTA, the ICS link you gave me is the same version (I didn't see it right away)

Thanks again! :)

[Motorola Atrix 2] big ach:
OK... I'm gonna ask a very stupid question, but please bare with me... back in my windows mobile days I used to flash the motorola q with at&t roms and I used to put on them vodafone roms and Chinese roms and everything worked just fine, no problems with the radios....

So how come with Android, even though I am flashing a GSM HSPA at&t phone with the rom of another GSM HSPA phone.... it wouldn't work???? I would understand if there was a cdma ATRIX and I tried to flash with that rom, but if they are both GSM and hspa, what's the problem? Why does the radio not work?

[Motorola Atrix 2] loderjm:
Perhaps a related question: I currently have an Atrix 2 that I had unlocked from AT&T, and now I live in Germany with Vodafone service. Could I flash this? Or will it still not work because of a hardware issue vs radio issue?

Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix 2] big ach:
Thats what I don't understand.... How is the hardware different,

Aren't the AT&T Version and the International version, both GSM / HSPA+ devices with the same fequencies?

EDIT: No... wait... 2 of the frequencies are indeed different: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=3169&id2=3130
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
It is because there are slight hardware differences and the the hardware drivers are actually in the kernel, and we can not flash a different kernel from the ROM, since we are on a locked bootloader. At this point all of this has absolutely nothing to do with the radio itself but more to do with the fact that things like the gps chip, wifi chip, and the actual radio chipset are all different on the US version.

Besides with the bootloader having a different signature to the international version of this phone, it will not even attempt to flash. When we take it apart, as it was stated earlier in this thread that the mbm files (have the signature that is different right there out in the open). We can't even flash the /system (the ROM part) since we are still on the GB kernel, and an ICS ROM will not run on a GB kernel.

Thanks man... that makes things much clearer now!

Much appreciated!

Just RSD back to 2.3.6 SEARET and let it OTA update to the latest 2.3.6 and done. I tried this one but I recovered my old MEARET they are the same with the same bugs, but i'm now running on the new kernel which maybe is improved.

1.Phone is not getting warmer.

2.Smoothness is definitely increased (you will notice it even after long usage).

3.Battery improved.

4.Fastness : Phone seems snappier.

5.Stability: I cant justify this constraint as mearet was also stable for me.

6.No bugs found yet.

Edit: Just saw you were on Indian. Shoot!...
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
That is about all that the phone will be worth after a flash like that, since it will HAVE to be brute forced installed, and then it will most likely brick the phone due to the kernel and bootloader signature.

Does anyone read this board anymore! I have posted this same thing I can't count how many times now. I have tried it all on this phone and have exchanged 5 bricked A2 s now, for trailblazing, and I posted all of these things all over this board!

No insult to you okachowwa, I know that you are a teen, so it is not really you that I am giving a hard time here. It is all the others that keep this kind of thing up, and are not 15. :D

Look I understand everyone wanting ICS so badly you can't hold it anymore, but just hang tight.
[Motorola Atrix 2] pupadi:
Update files aren't for flashing through RSD. You need to flash them through the stock recovery (Power on with holding both volume buttons, once you see the little android with triangle, press both the volume buttons again to get the menu - select the file and flash the upate)

Make sure you are SEARET and you have not flashed any other recovery.

Thank you so much. I cannot believe myself, am on ICS that too on second day of my Atrix Purchase.

Relatively new to motorola community and also to Atrix, so was actually planning to have Remus/Lithium as my first mod for the phone. But this thread impressed me to give ICS a try.

This is how I upgraded my device to ICS 4.0.4.

1. device runs stock 2.3.6 Asia retail. en. - therefore did not bother to flash searet/mearet before applying ICS patch.

2. boot to stock recovery - wipe data/cache

3. back -> update zip from sdcard - located Blur_Version.55.28.37.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03.zip file

4. patch took a while, after a single reboot, presented with welcome screen of ICS :victory:
