Exactly my point, you are NOT on an at&t phone so you can flash any version of Firmware or OTA that you want.. Those of us that actually have AT&T phones can ONLY flash the att OTA updates and use ONLY the AT&T FXZ.

Please be careful what you tell people a lot of people don't always understand well, and do not always read everything. If an AT&T person who was none the wiser and tried to flash an MEARET or SEARET fxz they would be bricked. This thread ONLY applies to AT&T users, if you are not really an at&t user then none of the things in thread really apply to you. AT&T has locked the AT&T version phone down a little more than the international version in that if we use unapproved firmware we will be bricked, I know I have tried it, just to see what would happen.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
Jim this is such a valid point..... Even with all the warnings in almost every threads first post in BIG RED LETTERS people still neglect to research and end up bricked.....
[Motorola Atrix 2] shaurya19:
So jim are you saying that if i dont have an actual at&t phone i can just go back to searat asian retail 2.3.6 using rsd lite method even if i have an at&t ics rom like scv7? little clarification needed...( i have an indian mb865)
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
If you flashed the AT&T ICS leak and not the searet or mearet leak,on a non-att phone, I really don't know what to tell you, as my process was ONLY made to work on AT&T phones running the AT&T ICS leak. If you have an non-att phone I would not recommend running this script, if you did flash the AT&T leak then your BL is now locked to the AT&T one and you should really use the patch that the Chinese devs posted and apply that to your "proper" firmware, whatever version "came" with your phone (be that mearet or searet, asia/TW/HK, etc).

if you are running SCV7 on top of searet or mearet, then follow the instructions they have to get back in the threads for those leaks, as I have heard those leaks are different from the AT&T ICS leak.

SCV7 is not specific to any carrier, as those parts are all at a lower level than the flashable ROMs that are used at the moment on this phone, as in the radio, bootloader, and kernel are not flashed as part of a ROM on the Atrix2 at the moment, so you are still left with those parts from whatever leak you used, and those are the important parts that handle the hardware and BL, and such.

Looking for testers

Hello all A2 users on ICS,

I am looking for a few adventurous persons willing to test an updated fxz/script option to return to 2.3.6 GB from ICS. I have updated the fxz files and included jim's script (with his blessing) - so, it should work either by script or RSD Lite on Windows.

I am looking for at least 3 Windows users and 3 Linux/Mac users on a current AT&T ICS leak (;)), with intermediate knowledge of Android and your computer OS of choice.

REMEMBER: Your participation is completely voluntary, so please understand the risks involved - and no one besides yourself is responsible for your phone.

Interested persons: PLEASE DO NOT CLUTTER THIS THREAD WITH QUESTIONS OR SAYING THAT YOU WILL TEST - Instead, please kindly PM me, and I will fill you in on the details.

----------------

So far, 3 successful fxz's from the (first) ICS leak to 2.3.6 on Windows!

Thank you very much to:

[Motorola Atrix 2] A2Trip:
Not a problem my friend. Glad I could help. It made it way easier to upgrade back too btw to anyone wondering. I did not have to go back to 2.3.5. Went from ICS to 2.3.6 back to ICS no prob. Thanks YOU for helping our community with your development. You have more thanks coming your way from anyone else who wants to use this simple FXZ I'm sure! Keep it up, you guys rock!
[Motorola Atrix 2] smgulsby:
Will you be sharing this script. If it makes the process easier I'm sure the community would be appreciative.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Sorry, got side-tracked by some other things.. Yea.. I will discuss with Jim and maybe he will just add it as another option to the OP here (it is his script anyway). But I would still like a few more testers - people on the

first ICS leak only

are allowed/encouraged to test.
[Motorola Atrix 2] aguacateojos:
Hey, this is a re-post because I was cluttering the CM10 Q&A:

My first two attempts at the FXZ didn't stick - it got stuck at the "dual core" screen so on to the third, which is currently at that DUAL BOOT screen. Out of curiosity: should it hang for a long time on that screen? I've been letting it sit for ~ ten minutes each time through.

EDIT - I'm on my fifth attempt now. Getting "command write failed <No such file or directory>" errors on cdt.bin, userdata, cache, lbl, logo.bin and ebr. Should I start worrying?

SECOND EDIT - Around my 9th or 10th attempt the pre-install failed due to low battery and the process stopped before installing weptop. Now when I put the battery in it goes straight to fastboot with a "flash failed" warning. Unfortunately, my friend with an A2 which I could use to charge up my battery has just left for a week-long vacation. Drat. Anyone other ideas for charging up the battery? It looks like I could buy a battery-only charger on Amazon, but I would rather buy one in person today if possible - where could I find one?
[Motorola Atrix 2] ryuben2k:
I just tried it today and only run it once my atrix went back to 2.3.5. I want to get ready, any moment we might get update for ics. Thanks for the script.
[Motorola Atrix 2] gabo_e30:
RSDlite

I had the same problems you did. I was on SCv7 and decided to go back using Jim's script (thanks a lot Jim) but all of them would fail. MY battery was around 40% when i started doing this. FLashed this script like 6 times and no success

HOwever there is a post on the 3rd or 4th page on this thread where Jim tells a guy (that was having our same issue) to use RSDlite and point to the xml file in the A2_go_back_win_folder. This worked and Im now on GB 2.3.6 (after an OTA)....

About the battery issue...Try the at&t store MAYBE they have one.. or a battery, or something that can help you...
[Motorola Atrix 2] aguacateojos:
Yeah, I only noticed that post about using RSD lite after my battery went dead. I researched it, I can buy a battery charger for ~$40 through AT&T. It's less through Amazon but that would require waiting a few days.

How did folks who hard bricked manage to get a replacement? I'm thinking about driving over to the store I purchased the phone from (in October 2011) and playing dumb about how it happened... what are the odds that I could get another phone out of this? With the ICS OTA supposedly coming through the states today, maybe they bricked my phone wink wink nudge nudge.

EDIT - Uh... so.... folks.... last night and this morning all I would get from the device was a fastboot screen if I put the battery in. If I plugged it in the LED would shine white - both of which are signs that the phone is bricked, yes? This is where it gets weird. Before I got ready for a trip to the store I thought "hey, what the hell, let's see what happens if I plug it in"... first the DUAL BOOT screen and then, to my amazement, the update installation screen (box with an arrow and android coming out of it). The update went through and my A2 is alive and kicking.

What the hell?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
ICS to 2.3.6 FXZ

Well, since Jim and I have both been busy with life and other android things lately, and since I've had only successful test runs of the ICS (leak#1) to GB 2.3.6 fxz package, I suppose I'll just post it and we can work out the details later...

This will return your A2 to AT&T 2.3.6 from the

first ICS leak only

(as posted here).

Follow the instructions in the OP of this thread (also the tips in the n00b thread). Everything is included in this new package - no need to replace any files. All credit to jimbridgman for the scripts, and google/moto/at&t for the files.

[Motorola Atrix 2] ryuben2k:
i can use this one from ics leak to gingerbread 2.3.6.? compare jim's script to 2.3.5.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
Yes. The first leak. Or the deodexed one posted in the dev section.works fine.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Yes, this fxz will bring you directly back to 2.3.6 at&t GB (from the first at&t ICS leak only - and/or from any ROM you might be on after installing the first leak package) - eliminating the need for going to 2.3.5 and doing the ota to 2.3.6.

But, Jim's original fxz packages to 2.3.5 in the op still work fine, this is just another option to save a step..

Sent from my phone's mind
[Motorola Atrix 2] timmytim:
This happened to me a lot as well and then I realized that the script continues to run after the reboot command but it doesn't wait for the phone to return to fastboot mode.

The quickest and easiest way to fix it is to open the (restore-to-gb.bat) batch file in Notepad++ or regular Notepad (Not Word or Wordpad) and add the word "pause" without the quotes just under the moto-fastboot reboot-bootloader command. This will stop the script from running and let you resume it by pressing enter when the phone returns to fastboot mode :D

Here's a snippet of what it should look like. Notice the word pause under the reboot command:

echo Allowing bootloader flashing
moto-fastboot flash mbm allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin
echo Flashing bootloader mbm.bin
moto-fastboot flash mbm mbm.bin
echo Rebooting into bootloader
moto-fastboot reboot-bootloader
pause
echo Flashing cdt.bin
moto-fastboot flash cdt.bin cdt.bin
echo Erasing userdata
moto-fastboot erase userdata
echo Erasing cache
moto-fastboot erase
[Motorola Atrix 2] amynjimmy:
so to clarify... If we want to fxz back to 2.3.6 from SCv7, we can't run the windows script, but we have to use rsdlite?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
You should be able to use either. Some people just have troubles using the script. But, both methods have successfully worked... I think jim mentioned something about updating the scripts a bit.. you could also try and follow timmytim's advice above about adding a pause..

NON AT&T ICSupercharged [scv7] to GP

Hello,

Could you please provide me a way to back me to stock GB 2.3.6 from ICSupercharged [scv7] ROM, my phone is not AT&T

and i need to roll back to get the official ICS update from Motorola

Your feedback is highly appreciated

Best regards,
[Motorola Atrix 2] id_snake:
It always stock on Moto logo after flashing for me. Than I tried to Use RSD Lite. I booted into Fastboot. RSD shows my device than I clicked start. Phone turned of end never turns on now. As I hardbricked?
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
Awesome work just soft bricked and the script worked like a charm..... O and Jim congrats on the new status!!!!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Glad to see you back hank, send as though you we MIA for a while?
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
Thank you is good to be back..... Been lurking for a while now with the little time I get lately..... Of all things soft bricked with a theme I was working on NOOBISH of me lol..... Looks like I owe you a congrats on the status also.....

Edit: O wait or were you a Recognized Contributor ????? Guess I got to start paying better attention.....
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Me too.. just softbricked, and I used the 2.3.6 fxz - beautiful - I think the first ICS leak was a special gift for us :D ...working my way back to CM10.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I just added alteredlikeness' 2.3.6 updated fxz with my scripts to the OP.

Again PLEASE ONLY use these with the first leak!

Thanks to alteredlikeness!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
Could have used that last night the moto server was swarmed and I could not update to 2.3.6 had to wait for this afternoon for things to slow down.....
[Motorola Atrix 2] moebigsley:
OK, I'm having some troubles with the updated script.

I applied the FIRST leak, then Timmytim's ROM. Now I want to go back to 2.3.6.

I have the Motorola drivers and RSDLite and Moto drivers installed (I used this PC to root the leak). I unzip the folder to c:

When I run the script the first line is supposed to display the serial number and it never does. I have tried reconnecting several times. The computer see the phone connect. I pulled the SD card, could that cause a problem?

Should I bail and try RSDLite? I'd rather use the script but any boat in a storm.

This might sound very remedial, but do I need to be in fastboot?

Thanks,
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I know this is going to sound weird, but it does seem to work for issues like this.

Try a factory reset and reboot, before putting your phone into fastboot. no guarantee, just that others have seen this same trick work. If that does not do it, then give the 2.3.5 script a try, and I can take a look at the 2.3.6 script tomorrow.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Try holding shift and right clicking in the folder containing the script, then select open Open Command Window Here, then type this in

fastboot devices

What does it say?
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
I wanna go back to 2.3.6 but i am not sure if i am on the first leak or the second.i used jim's method to get the ICS leak and then OTA'ed it.can someone help please?

Here are some details

System version:61.21.125.MB865.ATT.en.US

Build date:Fri August 31 18:50:08 CDT2012

Build Number:6.7.2-226-EDICS-10

Is it safe for me to use this Jim's script to ho back to 2.3.6???
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
No, it is not safe. You will brick your phone. You are on the final/most recent version of ICS, you need to stay there. (You mentioned you were on the first ICS leak, then you OTA'ed - that's what did it for you - also, the first leak's build date was from July).
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
So this is a point of no return???

Is there some way for me to go back to the first ICS leak???

I hope the Almighty Devs find a way through this too...
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
As of now, you really have no option but to sit tight and enjoy ICS.. you can still do whatever you want with your phone.. it's just if you do something wrong, and start bootlooping with no recovery and backup - you're toast.. sorry, for being so blunt about this..

[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Again, only if you were on the first leak and did not install the ota update while on that leak - and only if your phone is AT&T. It is the same as jim's fxz for the ICS leak, but puts you back to 2.3.6 instead.

[Motorola Atrix 2] paleozord:
I have a problem and a question. I am on the first leak and running ScV7, but stuck in a boot loop of some kind because I froze Holo Launcher and now the rom won't even load, I guess because there is no default/Moto launcher even included to fall back on..?

I am trying to run the script to FXZ back to 2.3.6, but the script never even "sees" my phone though it's connected by USB cable. What "state" is the phone supposed ot be in? Totally off? In Bootmenu somewhere? Right now mine is stuck at the ScV7 boot animation but the script can't see it in that state.

Any help?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
AP Fastboot.

Turn off the phone, then hold both volume buttons down, then the power button. Scroll with the vol down button, select with vol up..

Thanks very much, worked like a charm and I successfully script-fxz'd back to Gingerbread using Jim's method, then upgraded again.

GB from Leak 1

Edit: answered
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
I have slightly revised the fxz script to hopefully get rid of the step 3 (cdt.bin) flash fail that people are experiencing when using the script.

Just download the attached .bat for windows or .sh for linux/mac, and replace your current "restore-to-gb" script in the fxz package with this one.

For windows: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/61960599/restore-to-gb.bat

For Linux/mac: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/61960599/restore_to_gb.sh

Though made for the 2.3.6 fxz, they should work with either the 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 fxz package from the OP.

@jim - take a look, and I can update the 2.3.6 fxz with these scripts..
[Motorola Atrix 2] wdwms:
Wonderful.. i'm bricked.. didn't work for me.. tried it twice and now the damn phone won't power on.. First try through was a boot loop, tried it again, it wouldn't move past the motorola screen.. and now.. its dead dead dead.. can't power on, can't get to fastboot, nothing..

Called at&t, they are allowing me to upgrade to the Atrix HD for $0.. hopefully will ship in a day or so... i'm not sure if thats a good or bad thing! since there is no root for it.. but maybe it will keep me from tinkering!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Enzopreme:
I keep getting stuck at the boot logo.... this is whats coming up in the script.... can anyone help me out??
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Do you have the files that say failed actually inside of the fxz folder? Does the md5 sum of the fxz zip package match that in the OP? Did you try RSDlite?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Enzopreme:
yes i tried RSD lite, it get stuck at step 3, it says the phone does not return.... i dont see how i could be bricked since i can still get into fastboot, but now i dont even get to the logo, it boots straight into fastboot and says (flash failed)
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Were you on anything other than ICS leak#1? - Like the soak test, or installed an ota update while on leak#1?

And, you are not hard bricked.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Enzopreme:
no... i wsa trying to install the CWM touch recovery, and i deleted both logwrapper files and the safestrap files using root explorer, rebooted, but never got past the "rethink possible" screen, as i kept trying to go back to 2.3.6 via the utility, i kept getting deeper and deeper into a brick, first just the dual core screen and now i boot directly into AP with the (flash failure) screen. Im using the macguyver method to charge my phone now... what i nightmare this is turning out to be!! but this is my only phone ATM and i depend on it for work :(

Edit: now i have these lines displaying also on the AP fastboot screen

Charge the battery.

About RSd lite failure,it says no such file or directory,so make sure that the flashing XML contains the same file names of current files. and make all the flashing files to a short length path (like c:/moto).and make sure of free disk spaces (of windows and flashing path drive)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Enzopreme:
the battery is charging now, but all my issues im having were happening before the battery became too low to flash anything, the battery thing is just added to my **** storm. but the RSD lite failure says nothing about no such file or directory, it says the phone could not return, whatever that means.... i really hope i could get this fixed, i was on the ICS Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US, can anybody confirm whether this is version 1 or 2?

Nope. ONLY from ICS leak#1. There is no return to GB from official ICS - ever. But, there is a method to save you from soft brick on official ICS in the general section (watch for some scripts/packages in the dev section soon). And, we hope to see an ATT-US 4.0.4 fxz soon..

Black screen

Good day friends,

I get no more than a black screen after a couple of procedures i performed. I realize it most likely was my mistake, but still, perhaps any of you has had the same issue and got out of it ?, here is what happened:

1- Downloaded and installed official OTA ICS

2- Tried to dowgrade from ICS to GB 2.3.6 (using the files and information provided in this post). Got some errors, procedure finished and phone rebooted, but got stock on the android screen.

3- i realized something went wrong with the flashing procedure, so went ahead and tried to flash with RSD and GB 2.3.5 FXZ (i think this is where i screwed up)

4- the Flash started, but got stucked when flashing something related to the boot... and never got back out of it.

Now, the phone wont turn on. Have tried volup+voldn+pwr=no luck

Have tried voldn+pwr= no luck

It would seem as if the phone wouldnt even turn on..... again, i think its obvious i screwed up, but if any of you has ever got the same problem and got out of it, i would really appreciate it if you share your experience.

Worst case scenario, if i ended up if an expensive paper weight, would you guys recomend getting an ATRIX HD ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
Why why why don't you guys just read or research a little before jumping head first into situations like this.it is clearly written in the OP and evidently all over the forum that you can use this script only for returning back from leak 1 not the official OTA.even two posts above altered has clearly stated there is no going back to gb from official ICS EVER.

So your phone won't turn on now.not even into fastboot mode.

Sorry to break this to you mate but you have hard bricked your Atrix 2.no resurrecting this thing now.

Edit:just reread the OP and sorry it's not there in OPJim please update this in OP that it's only meant for leak1.

But anyways sorry bro if you can't even get into fastboot then you are hard bricked.
