Yes, the USB is important. Bricked my Galaxy recently on tour and I didn't have my original USB cable with me, so I had to buy some local one. When I got down to flash the stock ROM, it just didn't work. :(

Since you are going to use a Droid's USB cable, it won't matter because all Android phone's USBs have the data chip that will flash the ROMs when in download mode. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] CrimsonCode:
That is exactly what I am worried about. Just to clarify, you are saying that as long as I use an android USB I should be fine, correct? Should I try to use a newer android USB, or will the Droid Pro USB be fine (Droid Pro is quite old)?
[Motorola Atrix 2] gadgetroid:
To my knowledge, there have been no further improvements in the USB department for quite some time. Unless you count Apple shifting to a two sided micro USB port as an advancement.

It should work fine. To test, just plug the phone into the USB port with the Droid Pro cable and give the command:

If all goes well, the terminal (or command prompt, if you are on Windows) window should display your device. :)

If it does, then you can use the USB to flash, no problem! :D

If i remember right, the local tech shop i went to used a Galaxy 3's USB cable to flash my newer Galaxy Y. So, it should work. :)

My phone has been running cm10.1 for a few weeks, and I wanted to flash the newer release. I read that I couldn't use BMM, but had To do so, I removed Boot Menu Manager. I then rebooted, to ensure it was completely removed before installing Atrix 2 bootstrap. Sadly, the phone now hangs at the CM boot logo. Any fix? I tried booting in AP fastboot and CM's own recovery, to no avail.

EDIT: Fixed, I didn't know you had to hold both power and the volume buttons. Successfully fxz'd back to 4.04
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
Can someone help me? I've googled and couldn't find anything on it. I'm running the 4.2.2 CM10 ROM for ATT atrix 2 and I hate the camera. I wanna install the Zombies miui camera but I can't get it to install no matter what I do. Some guy in the forum for my current rom days he has it installed and works perfectly. I've asked in the forum and PM'd for his help but he's not replying. So I was wondering if someone can help me install this?
[Motorola Atrix 2] gadgetroid:
Push the apk to /system/app and change permissions using root explorer. Or use adb to push and change permissions using chmod command.
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
I've already tried that. I'll move the app to the designated spot and change permissions to rw-r-r. It still won't let me install it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
You dont install it. you just put the file where it belongs, change the permisssions, and reboot.
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
I replaced the app and rebooted and the camera was there but it wasn't the MIUI camera. It was still the stock CM camera because when I hit the video, it still says DVD instead of HD+.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Deivid_:
I want to upgrade my phone to CM10.1 but I don't remember what's the last rom I installed; the installation instruction tells me to "Use Built in recovery from a cm build, or bootstrap, DO NOT USE BOOTMENU MANAGER", how can I know if had CM? What do I do? ._.
[Motorola Atrix 2] gadgetroid:
Hello there! What ROM are you on currently? You can find out by going into Settings>About phone>MOD Version.

Post it here and I'll tell you what to do next. :) Also, just boot into recovery (don't do anything, just boot into it, see which recovery you have, and reboot system). That'll give you a pointer. ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Deivid_:
I don't have a "mod version" I have baseband version (2012-06-27, LUD_EDISON_R1D7 PATCH), kernel 3.0.8-g008f7e0, build number(67.21.125 by timmytim v1.3)

The las image I have on my pc is "cm10-dev-edison-NONE_CN-20121009-2246-signed" .. I'm not sure if that's the last one I've installed. Also, I can't boot into recovery, when I booted up my phone I didn't see any led flash, and smashing volup+voldown did nothing.

thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] gadgetroid:
In times of doubt, always revert to stock ICS, root and install a recovery and then flash the latest CM10 build. ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Deivid_:
I'm on ICS leak.. how do I do that? I can't find it now.. I know i've found it before, it's been over four months since I've flashed a rom
[Motorola Atrix 2] Deivid_:
Well I flashed the image with atrix 2 bootstrapperm, and it worked, but when I restarted the phone to flash gapps I got stuck on motorola's splash screen and then a black screen. after aminute or two, the phone reboots... I can get into AP Fastboot mode manually so it's not hardbricked

the SMSC settings always go back to blank.

Plz suggest how to resolve this issue.:confused::confused::confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
When you restarted the phone to flash gapps did you by any chance install atrix bootstrapper for flashing it??
[Motorola Atrix 2] gadgetroid:
Go to Phone Dialer, and press: *#*#4636#*#*

Select Phone information

Scroll down to bottom of the screen, you'll see the field for SMSC setting.

[Optional] Click Refresh to see current SMSC number.

Change the SMSC number as you want. Then, click Update.

I remember reading about this a while ago. Maybe in the beginning of this thread? :confused: Anyway, if that above tip doesn't work, Reflash official ICS or JB. A small tip: The SMSC field always stays blank. ;)

Just now getting into rooting+roms..

Hello! I've just started researching rooting+roms and how much better they can make your phone. I've had my atrix 2 since it's release but haven't bothered with rooting or roms as I'm afriad to bring my phone or void the warranty without being able to return it to the stock os etc etc etc however after much research this seems to be one of those "The risk is worth the reward" type of situations. I'd love a detailed step by step guide/website/link on how exactly to root my phone +install a rom. I'd also like a guide on how to back up my phone should i mess up during the rooting/rom installation pro to avoid any problems it may cause. Sorry if it's not clear as to what I'm looking for, I'm kind of new to this. Also is there a rom that is the "best" or the most popular? thanks a lot in advance for the help!
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
A little more info is needed.What are you on right now GB or ICS???

If you're on GB go here and follow the guide to go to ICS.

If you're already on ICS skip directly to step 5 in the same page and that will get you rooted.

As far as flashing goes just search for ROMs in the Atrix development forum.You'll have to look for yourself which ROM is best for you and the instructions to flash the ROM are there in respective ROM threads. Sorry to be so blunt but everything can't be spoonfed.AFAIK no one's gonna write you a personalized step by step guide when it already exists if you just look for it and give a little time to read through the posts.Trust me bro, it's for your own good.You'll learn a lot which will definately help you at some point of time.

If you get in trouble however the community is here to help you.

Hope you take it positively and yeah happy flashing:thumbup:
[Motorola Atrix 2] BozidaR1390:
Thanks a lot for the reply. I understand I need to learn on my own. I'm ok with that. I guess I shouldn't have sounded so needy with my OP. Anyway I already have 4.0.4 (OTA version) so should I still use the link you provided? It looks like that is for an ICS leak. I'm most likely wrong but just making sure. I'm trying to root from 4.0.4
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
Yeah that link should work but you can check this out.I guess it's a brushed up version of the same script on that page.I've never tried this one but it has worked for others.So it's your pick.
[Motorola Atrix 2] BozidaR1390:
Alright I have my phone rooted. That wasn't so bad lol. However I think I'm going to go with this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050705 my only issue is there arn't really any clear instructions on how to do it on there. It's most likely because they are aimed at people who have done this before. Sorry for being so needy. The positive thing here is once I get it done I'll know how to do it in the future.

Phone bricked

Hi Team,

Thanks for all the efforts that you guys make to keep this fellow device ALIVE. I am in a big TROUBLE as of today and need your help. I have bricked my atrix 2 :crying: I don't know if its a soft or hard brick and i am also unable to fxz back to stock. Here is what i did....

I was on the official JB leak, I used the foll fxz to get ICS fastboot-p3_edison-edison-user-4.0.4-6.7.2_GC-180-EDS-20-31-release-keys-ChinaRetail-CN_chn.tar... which worked then rooted & installed atrix 2bootsrapper and flashed the Numa.... this went smooth and i was happy with it

I flashed few flashable zips, lockscreen, restart 3, latest gpapps for ics and at the end used davicis OC 1100 and here the problem started...

After this when i restarted the phone it got stuck on Android is upgrading didnt go through tried couple of restarts but no go...

Now finally thought of fxz again to stock ICS or JB leak but its not working....

I am able to get into AP fast boot mode

RSD lite gives an error when starting to flash ..."Failed flashing process. 1/14 flash cdt.bin"cdt.bin" -> Phone returned FAIL."

After this i went to stock recovery and did a Wipe data/system and then tried fxz's but still the same error

Request you all to help me with the same. Awaiting your response :crying::(

[Motorola Atrix 2] gadgetroid:
Well, you can't pick just any Atrix 2 and hope to flash JB. As far as I know, there is no official JB for AT&T Atrix 2. Atrix 2 can be updated to ICS latest, as far as Motorola are concerned.

But that's not saying that devs have completely abandoned the Atrix 2. ;) You can flash CM 10.1 for a bit of JB action (if you are on AT&T; other users have that official JB leak), but as far as an official update from Motorola goes, you're out of luck. :( Just be sure to read the flashing instructions and make sure that your device is supported. ;)

PS3 Controller

so I got my Atrix 2 onto CM10.1, and I tried to connect my PS3 controller over Bluetooth and it refuses to connect

is this a 4.2.2 issue or a CM10.1 issue because I know the PS3 controller can connect to the Atrix, it just refuses to do so on 10.1
[Motorola Atrix 2] gadgetroid:
Over Bluetooth? Get the Sixaxis app from the Play Store and hook up your controller. Make sure you have a "USB A to type 5-pin B adapter" for connecting the controller. This method makes no use of BT at all, so it is quite guaranteed to work on a number of devices. ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] shardul1994:
I am on CM10.1 and the phone is fully discharged. Its not able to charge as the phone starts as soon as i connect the charger and gets stuck on boot animation. I remember there was a method to charge the battery externally but i cant seem to find it. Can someone guide me through it or give me a link?

EDIT: Found it. The McGyver method but i still cant get fastboot to run. It still shows Battery Low Cannot Program.
[Motorola Atrix 2] gadgetroid:
Keep it plugged in for about 2 hours and try. Had the same problem on my Fire XT.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
You made sure to only connect the hot (red) and ground (black) wires to the positive and negative terminals on the battery, while inserted into the phone, leaving the data wires from the USB out, right? Have you tried seeing if RSDLite recognizes your phone while booted into AP Fastboot? If it does, go ahead and try flashing the proper FXZ file.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Another fxz alternative

I just wanted to add that [MENTION=4566973]shardul1994[/MENTION] and anyone else, that another software (or batch file in this case) is the one made by alteredlikeness that does he same thing but simpler and more straightforward. It's this link and iit saved me from a super softbrick a week ago just by fxzing the stock system.img file.:D So I'm just throwing it out there as others sometimes do because it feels really underrated yet it works so well, at least for me. Give it a shot and happy un-bricking!:fingers-crossed::cool:

Upgrade software on unlocked latin american version Motorola atrix 2?

Hi, I am hoping that someone could give me some guidance. I have an unlocked Latin American atrix 2. Evidently it's running the 2.3.6 gingerbread software. Normally I probably wouldn't care about outdated software. But it appears as though I am unable to download many apps from the play store with this outdated version. I tried to check for updates via the phone itself, but I get the message saying that the software is already up to date. Of course that's not true, but I'm guessing it's because the phone isn't branded with AT&T and things just rent registering as they normally should.

I have never rooted a phone or flashed a rom. This is only my second android phone. I have become very overwhelmed with the information that I have obtained tonight through my reading up on this phone and software possibilities, so please keep this in mind! What should I do? I may be wrong, but I guess my options are to go with an ice cream sandwich upgrade or the newest jelly bean upgrade. I'm not sure if either or both are compatible with the Latin America version of atrix 2. Everything I've found on this site references the Asian version, which this is not. I don't want to give up on this phone because I like it otherwise... And already have all the accessories for it. Will someone guide me please into finding a solution? Thank you very much.

Please keep any advice simple and as user friendly as possible please. I know next to nothing about flashing roms, etc. Thank you again. I'm just hoping for the easiest way to make this phone completely usable and not outdated.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Lifehacker7:
You should go to stock ics first. (fxz files are in dev section). Then flash miui or any other ROMs that need ics base.

You flashed it over JB leak, which you aren't supposed to do.

[Motorola Atrix 2] gadgetroid:
Hello there. :) Welcome to the world of rooting!

Now, since you have a Latin American device, it is almost same as the original version of the Atrix 2. There won't be much difference, and any good developer is sure to have added support for it by now. You can upgrade to ICS official for your device and use it for a while to see if you like it or not and switch to Jelly Bean if you do.

The Atrix 2 development thread here on XDA is sure to have a thread that tells you how to upgrade from GB to ICS. If you get stuck anywhere, don't worry. That's why we're here. ;) We'll be sure to help you out.
[Motorola Atrix 2] DD7374:
Thank you for taking the time to reply. Your news is encouraging. I was afraid that there would be no options available to me.

So are you suggesting then that it would be better for me to find an ICS upgrade instead of a Jelly Bean upgrade? If so, why would ICS be better?

Also, not to take up too much of your time, but can you recommend the particular ICS and Jelly Bean upgrades that I should use for my phone? As I said, I'm overwhelmed by the different options and don't know where to begin.

Thanks again for your time and assistance.
[Motorola Atrix 2] gadgetroid:
As far as I know (I don't own this device, I just like helping people) the Atrix 2 got ICS through a leak. And if that's the case, I winder it it would have even got an official JB update. That's why I suggested ICS.

I searched around, but people said that there was no ICS update for the Atrix 2 LATAM version. Can tell me if you are on any carrier or if you have the retail version?

You can check out this thread and read through though. It is the ICS leak thread that came around last year or so.
[Motorola Atrix 2] DD7374:
Thanks for being willing to help. I Purchased the phone unlocked on amazon a while back. It's not branded with any carrier, but I have AT&T service and have the AT&T sim card in the phone. So it's not an AT&T device but I'm using the phone in the AT&T network. I'm not sure what you mean by "retail version." all I know is that it's the Latin American version and I purchased it on amazon.

The official ICS update is specific to the AT&T version of the phone. There is a jelly bean update that I found here that is supposedly compatible with atrix 2, but I found no reference to Latin American. Everything I've found specifies Asian or AT&T versions.

I checked out your link that you provided, but it is completely over my head. I haven't a clue if or how that information would help me. I'm so frustrated right now...

Thanks again for your response, if you have any further answers for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] gadgetroid:
The first post on that thread I linked you to said that he used that update for an Indian Atrix 2, and mentioned that it would work on all A2's. You could just check it out. There are loads of tutorials on the web on how to use RSD Lite and flash custom ROMs. Good luck with upgrading the A2 to ICS. :good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Lifehacker7:
There has been no official update to the latam atrix2. All other regions have got it. Screw moto for that.

And I'm not sure if you can successfully flash any other region's ics ( not the ATT one ofcourse). I have seen some threads in q&a with this qsn. Look for them.
[Motorola Atrix 2] DD7374:
Just my luck. I appear to be screwed. I've read mot of what's out there. It's largely above my head. And what isn't doesn't look promising.
