I.. downloaded ICS via wifi, "update". that's OTA isn;t it. OK so I will have to try another way to functionality, Basically, it was working except for the camera, which wouldn't initialize..front facing camera hadn't since getting wet..I sure hope this is fixable.

Hi. I have an old virgin mobile vm-670 (optimus v) and I think the power button (hard key) has a short. It turns on and off, the extended phone menu (sleep, screen capture, etc) pops up by itself. Is there a way to completely disable this key? I can use software to reboot, enter recovery etc. I just need to disable the power hard button. Thank you. :)

You may have better luck finding out answers to this if you post in this forum. I'm not turning you away, but I'm just not familiar with this device, and you may have more help if your concerns are addressed there...
[Motorola Atrix 2] dlinderaz:
Thank you kindly. I've been looking around my device-specific forums without luck (yet). I'll figure it out....or finally retire my old used and abused phone and upgrade. It has served its purpose. Any more fixes and tweeks and Ill have a Franken-phone. Thanks again. :D

Best of luck finding some solutions! I looked for the device forum (briefly) and that's all I came up with. Surely, some of those guys over there are likely more familiar with your device, or at least can narrow down a better place to ask. Sorry I wasn't more useful, but I hope you get things worked out! :good:

Problem rooting OTA ICS 4.0.4...

Hi,

Trying to root my Atrix 2 running OTA ICS 4.0.4 following the instructions in this thread.

When I run the ROOT.bat normally, my install hangs on:

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

If I try and run as admin, I get the "adb is not a recognized..." error, even though all the files are extracted in one folder on C:\.

I am running Android 4.0.4, running in debug mode, have updated my drivers, and have tried connected my phone as both USB mass storage and as a media device. Trying to avoid a factory reset is possible.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance,

Kevin

OK, just curious if it would've worked. Its worked for others.

Do you have USB debugging enabled, and unknown sources checked(just because, I always do)? And I was also connected as media device. Brought up the script, then plugged my phone in and it started and finished successfully.

Yes and yes.

Anyone know how to charge the Atrix 2 Battery, im trying to flash some things through commands but it keeps failing cause "Remote: Low battery" i think, but when i try charging it in the wall it says "AP Fastboot" screen always, and mostly stays in that screen when i try going to even the recovery menu.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Sounds to me like you had let the battery run down too low to perform a flash, and therefore is why you are seeing the "Low Power/Cannot Program" in AP Fastboot. There is a method to supply power to the battery while trying to 'flash out' of this situation, found here.

You can try this method assuming you were NOT on the official ICS OTA or the 2nd leak for ICS. Also, the method Ive linked you to will require you to "modify" your USB cable, by cutting off the 'plug end' that would normally be plugged into your A2. You will have to strip the wires, and carefully cram them into the + and - terminals of the battery, then place in the device without the backplate on.

Once you've done this, you can connect normally to your PC, open RSD Lite, and flash. I'm not sure that this method actually "charges" the battery, but more likely just supplies current needed to make the flash. I've tried it a few times, and never noticed any actual charging occurring while doing this, as seen after the flash was successful and I only had like 5% still on the battery.

Please do be very careful if you attempt this method, you can damage your battery, phone, and/or yourself. But, it's nothing to be terrified of, as long as you are careful. Also, you could look at going to a place like Batteries Plus or somewhere that could put enough of a charge on your battery to avoid having to "Frankenstein" your phone back to life, or you can purchase a third party aftermarket battery charger, or battery. At any rate, you have to have power in order to move on to the next step -- which is the flash...

[Motorola Atrix 2] silversteinx07:
Hi guys. Totally new to XDA (should I be looking for xxxDA? lol) but I've used Cyanogenmod for like a month now (HTC Liberty-CM 7.2 Nightly102812). This HTC Aria/Liberty is my current phone and I just picked up an ATRIX 2. Getting to the point: I've seen the official ICS running on my sister's phone. I don't prefer it over CM7.2 simply because of the lack of customization.

I have two choices: root the Atrix from GB & get CM10 or update to official ICS and then root it.

Should I upgrade the Atrix to official ICS? Can I expect an updated CM10 now?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Het silversteinx07, welcome to xda! If I were you, I would flash the 1st leaked version of ICS found here in this thread, which in my opinion is a better route to take if your Atrix 2 is still on GB. This way, you have the luxury of still being able to flash back to GB in case of trouble, or if you just ever get the itch to try out some of the GB-based ROMs. In this thread I've linked you to, you can also root using Jim's script. It's sort of your "all-in-one" ICS thread, in terms of getting on a stable ICS version with a root script.

Now, there is also CM10 for this device, though an unofficial version. I flashed it over the weekend and have been testing it out. It runs well, and since you seem to have the desire to run a Cyanogenmod ROM, that'd be the way to go. If you are on the official OTA for ICS, there is no way back to GB, and it's a pain in the arse to FXZ your way out of trouble. Same goes for anything that would put you on the 2nd ICS leak, as it is the same as the OTA. Just a few things to consider. Also, read the stickied threads, and as many others as you can. The A2 can be a finicky, tricky little bugger, so always understand fully what you are doing -- before you do anything. Good luck... :good:

FXZ

Hello! So I rooted my AT&T MB865 a while back. I did nothing else to it, ROM wise, or leak wise. I've cleared the cache and even restored to factory settings, but I still can't update to ICS OTA. It's driving me nuts. I'm stuck on 2.3.6.

So, I'm curious. Can I use the FXZ 4.0.4 to flash direct to the new OS? I don't care about going back to GB. Which file would I use too? The list was a bit daunting...

Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
If you don't care about getting back to GB after ICS, grab that AT&T 2.3.6 (GB to GB) fxz here, connect your phone to RSD lite, and run it til it says pass, then, you should be able to OTA to official ICS.

No that will not work. Read this guide here and look for how to flash fxz section. It will tell you what you need to know.

Also, if you download the GB to GB 2.3.6 fxz, there is no patch needed. You'll see what I'm talking about once you read that thread..

installing recovery and making backup

I am on AT&T ICS, rooted. Now I want to install a recovery and make a backup. How should I proceed?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
Grab either the bootstrap.apk here or bootmenu from the play store.

If you use bootmenu you'll have to install hijack and packages for it to work. For the bootstrap, go into app, bootstrap the recovery and allow su access, then reboot to recovery. Then select backup/ restore and then backup.

Usb tether isn't a default connection option.the only available options in ICS are mass storage, camera and media device.

However if you wanna tether via USB goto settings/tethering and mobile hotspot.you'll see your option there.it'll be available only when you connect USB else it'll be greyed out.

Prepping For Installation

So, I used to root and mod my Atrix 4G, but after messing up a few times with it, I decided to not take the chance on my Atrix 2. All was fine before the ICS update that I was so eager to get. Now I feel that I need to install a custom ROM in order to have a half-decent phone again.

That being said, I am lost in a sea of threads as to what to do to get my phone ready for a custom ROM installation. I have found the thread on rooting it, but then comes the matter of bootmenu, bootstrap, and all that. I'm not sure where to go once I'm done rooting the phone.

If someone would be willing to give a short how-to for prepping my phone for a ROM, I'd be really appreciative of it :).

Hell, I'd even take links to the threads I should go to, anything to ensure I don't end up bricking my phone.

Anywho, thanks for any and all help! :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
Well in my opinion and i think many would agree that bootmenu is a much safe choice as a custom recovery.The UI is great (even has a touchscreen interface)and if you wanna uninstall it you just have to click three times and it does the rest of the work.

Bootmenu is known to work great with scv7,swifty trix, stockyEd,miui ROMs.but mostly people use boot strapper to flash other ROMs and then reinstall bootmenu manager.

Now as far as Atrix bootstrapper goes it has a more conventional UI resembling the stock UI.and you've to manually remove the logwrapper files in order to completely uninstall it.however botstrapper has it's own perks see as of now you can flash cm10 only by using bootstrapper.even numa recently released has been tested to be flashed stably through bootstrapper.so really it depends on what you want.only then you can decide.

However just a heads up if you flash cm 10 don't try to install any custom recovery over it ie bootmenu or bootstrapper, you'll soft brick

Out of all those ROMs, which would you recommend for a good, stable experience? A better one than the OTA ICS update?
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
They are all pretty much stable.scv7,swifty and numa are based on ICS leak2 while CM10 is a JB ROM and it's cynogen so pretty customizable and smooth.the only kinks as of now are hotspot is not working and camera flash is not synced everything else works great.so if you can live without those things i would recommend CM10.if not you can choose any from the ROMs above they all have their plus points.i for instance am using the numa ROM.

have US AT&T phone but want UAE Retail

well to make it short i bought the atrix 2 from the US early when it came out and then i came to Dubai and all the annoying bloatware for AT&T have became more annoying by (NOT WORKING) when i was leaving i called them and they gave me the unlock code so im using the phone in Dubai, UAE and its working great, im on Victory Rom (Best rom ever) clean and elegant.

now i found there is official ICS firmware for UAE Retails and it has the same number as my phone MB865 so my question is: can i flash that firmware to my AT&T phone ? and incase that is not possible, if i want a clean ICS ROM (made from the official OTA update not the leak) where i can find it ? and lastly if all is not possible what is the cleanest quickest and best ROM and will it work if i update to OTA ICS ?

From Hong Kong

Hi I'm a user from Hong Kong with a ME865. I rooted and then flashed the Lithium ROM by JRW28 . That turned my system info saying I have a MB865.

Now I've been receiving the OTA update message from AT&T, but I wanna update to ICS through my local operator. Should I restore my stock ROM I backed up before flashing the lithium? Or there should be another way? I also saw this superthread by psyduck but then not sure what to do.:eek:

Please help thanks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
Try to restore your stock system first. Worst that could happen is it won't restore. In which case you'd need to fxz. But make sure you have the correct firmware package before doing so.

But I'm pretty sure a restore will work bro.

Sent from my MB865 running a beastly CM10
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Actually, and no offense to you, Axis, but he probably should just use the appropriate FXZ file from Psyduck's thread. I ran Lithium for a good long while, and can recall at least once doing a data wipe/factory reset through CWM and rebooting before flashing another ROM, therefore causing the phone not to boot. Doing as I did, and to my knowledge (I could be mistaken), when flashing a ROM, the 'stock' system image is replaced with the custom ROM image. So unless performing the data wipe/factory reset and immediately flashing a new ROM, there's no system image to fall back on. And though I never used the stock restore to factory reset on GB -everything done through custom recovery- I'm still uncertain this would do the trick, but again, I could be wrong. And, if I am incorrect in saying any of this, the FXZ would be the safest way to restore fully back to bone stock, in order to take the OTA to ICS. This (FXZ'ing using the correct file) would be what I'd recommend...

[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
None taken my friend. I actually have never used lithium myself, so I'm open ears when it comes to learning more.

no headset control while screen off

I just got an Atrix 2 (my first android phone), and so far I'm thrilled with it. I tested it out on 2.3.6 for a few days because I'd read the posts about not being able to go back to Gingerbread if I upgraded, but I quickly decided that native FLAC support was non-negotiable so last night I went to official ICS. I was glad that I did - everything's working as well or better than before.

Except. I can play my FLAC files just fine, but I can't control playback with my headphone button while the screen is off (as it usually is, deep in my pocket). There's no problem with it being on the lockscreen or anything, only when the screen is totally off. (No idea if calls would pick up while the screen is off - haven't had the opportunity to test that yet.)

Googling has revealed that other Motorola phones have also had this problem with ICS, but I have yet to find any thread that offers a solution. Does anyone here have a suggestion? Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Hey scampbll, welcome to the A2 forums! Okay, I've not seen this issue yet, so I'm not certain how it might be resolved. If you're playing music through headphones, but no control features work from using the headphones while the phone's screen is off, it's not an issue of it going into deep sleep since there's an active kernel wakelock present from the audio out. So, I'm not really sure why it's not cooperating with the headphones. Have you tried others, or a different music player app?

From elsewhere, I found something. Have you tried Headset Button Controller and Holo Locker? The Holo Locker app will turn on the screen when pressing headset buttons, with allows for the Headset Button Controller app to act as a relay, acknowledging the signal from the headset and passing it along to the music player app.

After this, the screen lock will not timeout as normal, as in say, 5 seconds or so. It'll rather timeout like any other application according to your current settings. Might be worth a shot...
