You misunderstood me, I believe. I wasn't 'telling him what to do', or anyone else for that matter regarding flashing the leak. It was simply an innocuous question. Maybe I'm reading you wrong, but seems you're getting defensive for no reason. I agree, if someone wants to flash the leak, its on them. But the files were pulled for a very good reason, and I was just curious...

[Motorola Atrix 2] dudemaaan:
It was just something the guy that was a big part in porting the Razr recovery over said. He said if the atrix 2 is similar to the Razr, which it is in many ways. That we will be able to update from the leak to the official. Not setting this in stone, because I have no way of knowing, but at least appears to be a likely possibly.

No not defensive, just saying from my own point of view I enjoy the ICS leak, and If I was in anyone else's position I would like to flash it just as I did, Even with all the risks involved. I was more or less answering the question directed to him based on my own experience and reasons. In my mind I ask the question why would anyone not flash the leak? Its great. The last part wasn't directed at you, just a general point of view because I have noticed others basically say you cant have the DL because its too risky. I know you didn't tell him he cant, but it came off to me as a negative connotation if anyone had a desire to flash due to the risks And I just have a different view. My apologies if you were genuinely curious. Finding the files isn't hard though, they might have been pulled here but 30 seconds on google and you can find them pretty easily.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Skandranen:
It's interesting that when i went into AT&T dcs to exchange my doa a2, i was talking the girl helping me about the pending ics upgrade (since i had bricked on the leak) she told me she didn't think we were going to get ics due to bugs being reported but since the soak is happening soon that pretty much kills her theory.

You can't go by what att people tell you. They do not know anything about new firmware until the day it comes out. Ive been told that by a relative that works for att.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
It is me who is not giving the leak out. Take a look at it like this. This was a leak we should have never gotten in first place. We did get it and release it to everyone, and WAY too many people had issues.

I am not, giving the ability to download this out, to protect everyone, but to keep myself and the other devs in here sane, and able to keep working on this stuff. The truth is there are people in here that should NOT run experimental leaks due to their abilities, and all that does is distract our devs.

Again if liefmagnuson and the rest of your dev community had not shared it at all, this conversation would have never happened.

I am not being like Moto here and trying to keep us locked down (in fact I think I am the one person since day one that has been trying to unlock the BL). I am just trying to keep us all sane and moving forward. For a week were not even sure we could bring people back to 2.3.6 so they could get the REAL OTA. We now have that ability. I have a script for both windows and Linux/Mac that I will release to everyone tomorrow. This is the key to getting the REAL OTA, and trust me everyone wants that.

Moto is now in the SOAK test phase of the ICS release. When we saw this with 2.3.6 it was something like 14 days from the start of the soak that the real OTA came out. Those that don't have the leak, or even those that do have the leak, just sit tight. Instructions are on the way on how to go back to GB so you can get the real OTA.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dudemaaan:
Well there are many of us that are very grateful the leak was released, even a few that have a some bugs are happy with it. Those that are not happy now have a way back, and I'm confident with all the smart minds working on this, the development will continue to move forward. After having ICS on 2 of my tablets when 99% were still on GB and now the leaked version on the atrix 2 I can completely see why people are impatient, but as I posted else ware I can also see why the devs don't want to be replying to a bunch of help threads when it's all heading in a slightly different direction with the soak test and official release around the corner. I can see both sides, probably because I'm in the middle zone. I'm not a developer, but still smart enough to get myself out of most problems on my own. I suppose releasing the files is unnecessary because anyone smart enough to successfully get on the leak is also smart enough to find the files themselves.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Exactly, and that is the rationale I/we (devs) have been thinking. We are so close to the OTA, but we still have a long way to go, because those on the leak will need help from us to get the OTA to work right, since it will try to patch the BL to A0.72 from A0.65, and it will most likely fail, and not continue past that check. So once we have the SOAK in hand we can start to work on that fix for everyone.

I would be curious as to what you guys are finding, but it looks like my download is stuck at 53% - maybe it's off the server already?

[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
TO ALL: yes, it is ICS.

No, the bootloader is not unlocked in it.

I will not and cannot yet comment on whether you will be able to get back to GB after flashing.

Jim is going to attempt to do the update and get back to GB to prove it is possible.

one of us is going to attempt root and dump the system and boot.

after that and we get some more info, We will get the OP all he needs to put it in this thread so you all can see.

then, I am planning on debloating and rooting it and releasing a Simple rom.

I am willing to install this if someone wants to pm me the link. No Wi-Fi right now so cannot download. I don't care about root at this point.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yeah I did too alterderlikness, not on purpose, just slipped my mind, sorry about that...
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:

[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Just to let everyone know, I am going to be the guinea pig for this one.... since this phone is my hacker phone...

I will report back in a while... hang tight.

To the OP, just hold off posting the link to everyone until I can confirm we can fxz back after I update to this.

--EDIT--

Everyone, stay excited, this is looking good, so far.

--2nd EDIT---

I will also update the all in one script I am finishing up, to include the moto fail files for ics, and we can all thank Dan Rosenburg for that!
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Not a problem, guys.. I know we are all excited about this, and apparently I have that effect on people...:cool: but thanks for including me.. I have some free time this afternoon.

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

Did you try hte method the overseas guys were using for root?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I have not attempted root yet. I just flashed with stock recovery and then fx'd back to make sure we still could.. did not want to end up like the OG atrix guys.

I am thinking we will have to use the same method that they used with the SEARET/MEARET leaks.

--EDIT---

I am building a CWM flash-able zip for this, and I will include root and superuser.apk for the ICS level.

Well the fun is on guys... I will be quite for a while, while I have together a CWM flash for this thing.

If its the OTAroot2 method, i can confirm it works on both the MEARET leaks ive tried on my Indian A2.

I feel lucky. I'm at work with no wifi and not enough data left on my plan. So I have to wait a few hours regardless.

Dude just wait for Jim's cwm zip
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jce9182:
Already planned on that. Still need to get it to stop trying to download off the Motorola server. Think it'll time out eventually?
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Thanks so much for all that you do, Jim.

Btw, the Chinese found out a relatively simple way to gain root through adb on their ICS:

-Symlink /data to /data/local/12m/batch

-Reboot

-Write "ro.kernel.qemu=1" to /data/local.prop

-Reboot

It should work for us, too.

[Motorola Atrix 2] marquavious:
That didn't work? Woah idk. But yea it shouldn't stay there for ever
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
just remember if you flash this, that you are taken off the OTA track, and cheesecake does not work with ICS right now!

You will have to rely on others that the real OTA is out.

Just something to think about here.
[Motorola Atrix 2] xmsh:
have no one upload it？
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
I know everyone's excited, and understandably so (hell, I am included), but we need to afford time for Jim and others to put this all together for us.

Go for it. I am writing a pretty intense updater-script, and it won't be ready for a while. I am going to try and make it work for any ROM we have so that if it fails on something it will just move on.

Since your backup is ready lets get it out there, and get everyone some ICS tonight, mine won't be ready til the morning.

[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
So after some examination of the CWM backup, I realized that the boot image/kernel is not backed up, so.... the CWM/nandroid backup method will not work.

I am loading the actual OTA to my androidfilehost dir as well, so.... once they are both fully up, then I will let everyone know where to grab them and give a test to the different methods. I was hoping to just have you all do the restore of the image and boot, and that is already rooted, but I am not sure that will work since everyone is still on GB right now, so the OTA then root will mostlikely be the way to go... Again once it is all finished upping, I will make a new post with FULL instructions.

Stay tuned.

[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Please read my post.... I said I would let everyone know when they are both all done and I would post a full how to, with rooting instructions. Please hold tight.

The CWM backup that I uploaded will not work, and the OTA is not completed yet, so there is no point in trying it yet... plus it is a long and drawn out process to do it... it is a pain because you have to FXZ all the way back to 2.3.5 and OTA to 2.3.6 then use the OTA that I have and use the stock recovery to update to ICS.

Again I will make a new post with all the instructions once every thing is done uploading, and I will be eating dinner with the significant other/wif for short, she does not like to be called a "wife"... LOL... It will be about an hour or so, so hang tight.

Remember folks, Jim is doing this for free. With his free time. Heck, he doesn't even use the A2 anymore. We waited this long, a few more hours wont be bad.
[Motorola Atrix 2] xLordNitro:
What I did.

1. FXZ to 2.3.5, helps to have all the files downloaded and prepared beforehand.

2. Update 2.3.5 OTA to 2.3.6,

3. Root using the 2.3.6 root

4. Install manual cheesecake and go to first QA server

5. Download and Install Update.

6. Painless pretty much.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Nope not at all, I will have a new hack for it up, if the update breaks it... I have not actually tried it since I did the update, since I have been so busy with all of this... hopefully I will be able to take a look at it tomorrow and see if the same method still works, and if not, I already have another method I want to attempt..

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

What about root for ICS?

I have a way to do it with out needing to root until you get to ICS 4.0.4, to make it much easier. But it is painful since you have to go back to 2.3.5 then OTA, then do the ICS OTA with the file I will upload, then root and install bootstrap.

Ics update

A few questions about this:

1) I am on stock AT&T 2.3.6 and have never rooted.

2) Since I have never rooted can I just install this update and have it work?

3) Will this get OTA updates from AT&T or will I be stuck with this?

4) If I were "magically" chosen to test the update, since push the notice to update to the device, for those chosen, would I get it? Would it work?

Yes, kind of a noob @ this.

Thanks again,

Jason
[Motorola Atrix 2] X3remes:
1) OK :)

2) Yes

3) Most probably will not get OTA updates

4)???
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
3) 4) You will be able to flash the fxz to return to 2.3.5 when you are on ICS. Once you are on 2.3.5 and you want to install a magical update then just update to 2.3.6 and then install said update, after you upload the update for us all to look at ;)
