Battery Question Mark - stock Atrix 2

So I have a stock Atrix2 but the battery icon shows a question mark when charging with power off, and the phone will not boot. The phone sat for about a year without being touched then today I tried a new battery (supposedly OEM but was remarkably inexpensive). Booted right up (question mark in battery icon), but died while updating apps. Question mark while attempting to charge and again won't boot. I've never rooted the phone. It's definitely out of warranty so I don't expect my carrier to replace it. Oh and I can't get it to hard reset either.

Edit: Ok so I did the stripped usb direct charge and got it to boot, but why can I not charge normally or get a battery level reading?

Charge port may be bad

[Motorola Atrix 2] hugh a:
i had the same issue with a cheap inexpensive battery that i bought off ebay, its not charging with that ? displayed, i had to use a external charger to use it, they state OEM but what they mean is OEM knockoff .
[Motorola Atrix 2] T Corvin:
That's what I'm thinking at this point. Trying to charge normally after boot didn't work. It says that the battery is charged but it died again shortly thereafter. Anybody know if that's a relatively doable fix?
[Motorola Atrix 2] hugh a:
if charge port was bad it would not show the question mark, its your battery, is the bat a motorola HW4X? is label black and white? i had same issue you're having, if you're willing to give me your address ill send you a good used OEM motorola HW4X bat for the atrix 2, i have a surplus of them?
[Motorola Atrix 2] T Corvin:
It is an HW4X. The label is black and white but mostly white. It has a holographic Motorola sticker but it's different than the original that came with the phone... so are you suggesting that you'll send me a battery for free? Because that's pretty cool, but also seems suspect. No offense, but...

I guess send me a pm if you don't mind. We can discuss this further without taking up space on this help thread.

Can I tether Note 3 to ps3?
[Motorola Atrix 2] T Corvin:
Well, I received the battery. And first off, thank you. It arrived faster than an order from Amazon. Disappointingly, though, I had the same issue with your OEM. At this point I'm able to limp the phone through the day with the 3 hack-charged batteries, but I never know when it will die on me. The battery icon still shows a "?" but the battery status in settings always shows 100%. It won't charge through the usb port.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hugh a:
does it sow the question mark all the time or only when charging?

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

have you tried a factory reset or try this app that allows you to wipe battery stats

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vn.android.batteryrefresh
[Motorola Atrix 2] T Corvin:
It does it all the time. I've done a factory reset, but no dice. I'll try the battery refresh...

Edit: After looking at the battery refresh/calibration apps it seems like it requires my device to be rooted... it's not. I've considered trying it but it's my only one and I'd rather not put it at risk.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdog1989:
Well rooting your a2 is not as risky as rooting once was, since its an older phone what do u have to lose? Use cydia impactor. Takes 30 seconds, reboot, enjoy. But even though others disagree I think its the charge port. Plus rooting is first step to running a custom ROM ;)

My phone has become pathetically slow. Sometime when i click a contact to call him, it dials after 10 seconds. SImilarly, chrome opens but stays unresponsive for 8-10 seconds, same with other things. I am using GREENIFY & Clean Master, but this state of phone is after using those apps. I have also erased Dalvik cache via Ti Backup.

1) What more can I do to make it more responsive?

2) Last month, I installed CM 11.0 on system 3. I want to delete it since I dont use it. How to delete that?
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
OK first of all, you need to get rid of clean master. It may seem like it does wonders but dosen't in reality. It really screwed my friend's s3 and only a hard reset solved it. So maybe you have to install a clean rom and check.

If you still aren't happy after this, then you have to do fxz if you have cm11 on sys 1. If it's on other sys, just destroy partitions in bmm

[Motorola Atrix 2] abu2097:
but i have read online that if you root improperly it may brick your phone
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Hard brick, no. Soft brick, perhaps. But, as long as you follow the instructions exactly, your risk of even soft bricking your phone is slim... With Jim's script, it is a .bat file that when ran, executes the exploit. If you are able to run the .bat file on ICS, you will gain root access. If you cannot for some reason, the .bat file script will not execute. It's pretty simple...
[Motorola Atrix 2] abu2097:
tell me if i am wrong

1)enable usb debugging mode

2)connect the cable to one of the backports of your pc

3)select media device in usb computer connection

4)make sure to have the latest motorola drivers

5)unmount your sd card

6)then run the .bat file(while your phone is switched on)

7)my phone will reboot and it would be rooted
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Almost, make sure you look at step 3):

1)enable usb debugging mode

2)connect the cable to one of the backports of your pc

3)select CHARGE ONLY in usb computer connection

4)make sure to have the latest motorola drivers

5)unmount your sd card

6)then run the .bat file(while your phone is switched on)

7)my phone will reboot and it would be rooted

Moto official OTA ICS upgrade root clarification request

Hello, I need to be a bit detailed here as much as I can to address my subject title and hence the many multi quotes, I have attached my system details for further ease of reference.

After buying my MB865 in India, I was on GB ver out of the box & did not root, did not install any custom rom or mod etc. thereon there was a OTA update for GB & once again my phone was kept virgin & finally on 18th Sept I upgraded to ICS via the official Moto India OTA upgrade and at current stage I am yet unrooted & custom rom, custom mods are not installed as well & I have also not factory reset my phone & all is working fine except a low resource error while transferring a small png file to my laptop which I will post seperately with screenshot.

Now I simply need to root and do not want to go back to GB at all. Based on above quotes I need some few clarifications as things are clashing based on available info :

1) Earlier on 15th Sept it was being cautioned against using respected Jim's file as it is based on AT&T rom upgraded to ICS via leak & now on ver 2 of the leak as official OTA is not available for US.

2) In between it was also shared that the Razr root exploit worked fine besides Jim's

3) There was a thing being mentioned about factory resetting the phone for overcoming the error being encountered using Jim's file

4) Thereon on 29th Sept in contrast to 15th Sept, it was advised to another Indian OTA ICS MB865 to use Jim's root file (the same AT&T file) & after laying down the step by step method for the same the Indian user has confirmed successful root and I was with him on PM & this is what was the final outcome of the PM :

" Ok so finally my understanding is 1) you bought phone having GB then (2) without rooting it you upgraded to official OTA ICS upgrade in India then (3) you did factory reset & then (4) finally you applied root using Jim's file. I hope my understanding is correct. Though if it will not brick but it can yet destabilize phone if done incorrectly and this factory reset before root seems an important step. My main concern was all developers are mainly from USA & all their work is based on unofficial ICS leak (now in stage of ver 2) & though official moto ROM they are on AT&T so this ROM has many difference in features from ours like No EA games, Shutter sound in camera disable option etc etc, so that's why I wanted to be very very sure. Thanks a lot for your help, appreciate."

So finally can I use Jim's root file based on my scenario & some other points of concern were Touchscreen freeze after root, Superuser version issue which Jim pointed out in one of his other threads, the exact point of reset (i.e before root or after root. Once again this is a virgin unscrewed phone :angel:

Kindly help.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
The multi-quotes are really extraneous, and don't exactly yield much more than clutter. If needed, we can all go back through this thread to reference previous posts, so please try and keep things as simple and straightforward as possible -it helps us all to be more helpful when there's not a string of unnecessary comments to have to sift through.

Now, you're asking if you can root using Jim's script, and if a factory reset is needed prior to, correct? Jim's script is a .bat file, so it should work fine on your device. If not, try the other method, since users have claimed it has worked for them. All the information you needed seems to have been already put together here in this thread, and in others. I understand your being cautious, and that's great. But, going forward, let's keep questions/quoted posts/etc. simple so it's easier to address your concerns...

How do I maintain root through ICS OTA update

I am such a noob. I posted this in the beginners forum, but I think this one is more appropriate.

I bought my A2 with 2.3.5 on it and rooted it.

I used this method to maintain root through the 2.3.6 OTA update:

go to /system/bin/

open in text editor – mount_ext3.sh

add the 3 following lines to the very bottom

chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su

chmod 4755 /system/app/Superuser.apk

My question is, will this also maintain root through the soon to come ICS OTA update?

Will this break anything when I run the OTA update?

Do I need to do anything extra?

I have read the threads on the ICS leaks, but HAVE NOT flashed any of them.

I always unzip the file and place it directly on the C drive of my PC before flashing. It reduces the flash time and makes the file path shorter and easier for RSD lite to read.

need help please?

morning guys, wherever you are.

this is my first post (seriously it is). i have a motorola atrix 2 2011 phone & i want this nice looking rom installed.

i have done searching for about an hour or so,so here it goes.

1. do i need to root my phone in order to update this rom (if so,should i use SuperSU) or any other method

2. yes, i have already downloaded this rom. it looks nightly!

3.i know to unlock bootloader,already did. then what? do i have to have...a motorola driver.

4.Lots of tutorial,making me afraid to try each one.

thanks for reading guys:p
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
1. Yes you'll have to root it. Rooting with SuperSU only works after you have a custom recovery which you can't get on this phone until you've rooted. There's a couple of different root methods available, just search around the development threads.

2. Which ROM?

3. If you've unlocked the bootloader then you don't have an Atrix 2.

4. Just keep reading until it all makes sense then read some more. You won't be sorry you took the extra time.

Help installed rom in wrong place!

Hey, guys. Thanks for having a spot to help all the new guys. I hope I am putting this question in the right place, if not I apologize. I did try searching for answers before posting, but maybe I did not look in the right place. So here goes I have a rooted Atrix 2, which, I was running ICS in system 1 and also had a custom Rom in system 3. Now I got a little ambitious and wanted to install another rom and everything was going great, but I made a pretty dumb mistake and in the Boot Menu Manager I forgot to switch over to System 4 and accidentally installed on top of ICS in System 1.

Ok so my question is how can I get ICS back? Would I have to re-install it, if so how? Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Atrix 2] stunna946:
I always have a backup of ICS on my phone so u cane wipe/factory reset then restore. If not you have to flash back to ICS if you didn't make a back up.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Atrix2guy1:
Wow you guys are quick! Thank you stunna946! Thing is I really blanked and don't remember if I made a backup. Where would I find it? 2 where do I get ICS and would I have to follow the same procedure because I hear a lot of talk of RSDLite.

Also I don't remember exactly if my phone originally came with GingerBread or ICS. Would that matter or could I just flash ICS on system 1?

Thank you guys.

Ps I really don't know as much about this stuff so the sl-o-w-er and more detailed you could explain things I would absolutely appreciate.:)
[Motorola Atrix 2] stunna946:
Well if you don't know a lot read the atrix 2 resource guide and learn everything there. An just read all you can. All of us will help you in the am.

To answer some of your questions.. If you were on ICS before then you would only want to flash an ICS fxz file. That is for your phone.. I have at&t so I used the att ICS fxz for my specific device.

Rsd is a must have if your going to be messing with ROMs. Read about red tonight and everything you can...

I or one of the other members that know about this device will help.

Have a goodnight. -stunna946

Please read info about your phone. What model.. What rsd is.. And flashing.
[Motorola Atrix 2] stunna946:
You would find back up in backup/restore on your BMM/CWM.. If you made one...

You need to download rsd lite.. An the latest drivers for your phone... Which rsd lite comes with. then you need to download the ICS fxz file for your phone.

Then unzip and flash in AP fastboot mode on your device.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
[MENTION=6227981]Atrix2guy1[/MENTION]

You can always just flash one of the ICS stock based ROMs. There's a few to choose from. NUMA, Stocky Ed, Swifty Trix, and maybe another I'm forgetting. Obviously, Stocky Ed is closest to regular stock while the others have a few toys included. One of those would be way easier and more convenient that doing a full firmware flash via RSD lite.
[Motorola Atrix 2] stunna946:
Heres my two cents he needs to learn about rsd lite and flashing this device anyway, and that goes to any other new comer reading this.

Like you said in another post "its better to know this information and not need it, then to need it and not know it."
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
I don't disagree that it's valuable knowledge to have and by no means would i discourage anyone from taking the time to learn. In fact, it's exactly what I would've said if he was in a boot loop. However, in this case since there was no real problem other than having overwritten his system 1 stock ROM I only suggested he do what would (and have had to) do in that scenario. Quick and easy..... just like me. :sly:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Atrix2guy1:
Thanks guys for the info. I don't mind gaining new knowledge, but I also like quick and easy. I have BMM and so if I decided to try the method 1BadWolf recommends would I just download for example Swifty trix rom and stick in my sd card and then load it with BMM. Or is there something else like finding Gapps and wiping and making new partitions.

I appreciate everyone's valuable help!
[Motorola Atrix 2] stunna946:
If the ROM requires you to zip a gapps file for that ROM then do it..

You don't need to set new partitions if your zipping to system 1.,

Also wipe system 1 before you zip your ROM to it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Just a couple of things to add to this. Generally stock based ROMs come with gapps already. If you're unsure you can open the zip in something like 7zip on a PC or ZArchiver on your phone to see exactly what's included. And before you wipe system 1 make a backup of all other systems beforehand as wiping the first system will delete all other systems. Then you'll have to recreate the partitions and restore the other systems after you have what you want installed on system 1.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Atrix2guy1:
What's the best way to go about making a backup. Also could I just put swifty trix on another system?
