1. I went to the BMM thread but it is defunct as it says that none of the steps are required version 0.3.4 onwards. So what steps are required? And nowhere it is mentioned that i need to backup before running BMM and installing a new rom. Why? Any consolidated/complete guide present on how to run BMM?

2. PACMAN thread says "wipe data/factory reset before installing" and install "GApps". Both these steps are needed while using BMM? I want the apps, data, settings to be still available in my system1 (ICS). If i need to wipe, everything, what is the best way to backup all the data and settings for all the apps?

3. I would also like to know what things are erased / need to be erased / moved to memory card, in the process of installing a new ROM via BMM.

4. Let's say some apps are on Phone Memory instead of Memory Card. And I am using PACMAN & stock ICS multiboot. Will all apps which are already installed in ICS be already available in PACMAN? or do I need to install twice?

soft bricked - battery low problem in AP fastboot , stuck with stock recovery

:confused:

The problem is in the boot selection menu

by seelcting bp tools - it just shows normal motorola logo and cutomer ID error.

by selecting normal bootup - it shows same normal motorola logo and customer ID error.

by selecting recovery mode - I enter recovery screen , but whatever zip i try to flash, it gives signature verification failed

because that recovery mode. I tried many zip files and fast boot files .It gives me same signature error.

Is there any zip file which will run without signature error.

by selecting AP fastboot screen - It shows battery low. and connect USB

when i try to connect USB from PC. The phone is not swicthcing on for any mode.

Was hoping to get this AP fast boot screen for running RSDlite or any other fast boot flashing

But the battery low is a problem for this. The battery is not getting charged with wall charger for some reason.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
I've never heard that, but yeah, it's probably better safe than sorry.

Flashing zips in the stock recovery will do nothing for you so don't even waste your time with it. If you're getting a low battery message in fastboot then you'll have to charge the battery before you can do anything else. The problem with that is the phone won't charge the battery in this condition. You'll need to use an external charger. (Or, if you're feeling brave, Google "macguyver battery charge method".) After you get the battery charged up you'll need to find the correct FXZ for your phone and flash it with RSD lite in AP fastboot mode. Be sure that you have the correct FXZ for your phone's model and/or region and flash only that one. Also, search around this forum for more about the CID error because you'll likely never get rid of that but the phone is still usable, you just have to learn a few tricks.

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

re: soft boot

[MENTION=410403]badwolf[/MENTION] .

Thanx for your promising replies.

I was able to get external charger,charged the battery and started flashing the stock ROM's using RSD lite.

tried to flash, these stock ROMs using RSDlite , though RSDlite gives PASS, both dint work

6.7.2_EDEM-18-SEARET_cfc.xml--- struck with black screen after motorola logo screen

5.5.1-EDEM-27-SEARET_cfc.xml -- struck with motorola screen only :(

I downloaded these files from SBF droid developer site

As my atrix-2 is Indian device. I tried using Asian Retail

I am not able to figure out the correct fxz..

What version of Android should i flash?

Should I use any fastboot exe's instead of RSDlite?

Or should I try to flash custom ROMs directly?

Custom Rom Comparision needed

Dear Friends ,

I,ve tried PAC , MOKEE, CARBON, AOKP, PANAROID Roms on my A2 but still I didn,t find any perfect rom as the Stock rom every rom has some issues.

Pl. help me to provide comparison among the roms or problem with roms will also help me.

Thanks to all roms experts and users.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
That is all strictly opinion and you won't get any worthwhile answers for this question. One person might say they prefer "X" ROM, but someone else would then say they can't deal with the bugs in "X" ROM so they prefer "Y" ROM. Then someone else will surely say the don't like "X" or "Y" and "Z" ROM is best, etc. That's like asking what I think you should have for breakfast or what kind of car you should drive. My opinion in all cases is irrelevant. Try them out yourself and form your own opinion. All the bugs for every ROM is listed in the op. Start by reading because there is no shortcut.

Hey guys, not sure if this has been answered yet and sorry for re-asking if it has been. Anyways, both my sister and I have an Atrix 2. But according to Antutu, my Atrix is dual core 1.2Ghz while my sister's is only 1.0Ghz. What's going on?
[Motorola Atrix 2] darth_nihar:
Ok lets make it simple for you

When you install BMM what happens is ur ROM that is your phone memory can be partitioned into more virtual systems.....

So all the data stored in the system 1 has the virtual systems of the other ROM's in it.....

Now if you want your data in your stock ROM to be saved leave system 1 alone and flash ROM's in system 3 onwards.....

and the programs you install on your other rom's don't get forwarded to the other systems....

Try using tools like titanium backup to save your apps and data so that you can use it on the other systems......

You have to install the apps again there is no choice in that but Tibckup you can restore your app data and seetings to your new ROM....

PS: all this info is there in the BMM thread just read it carefully :laugh:

Hi, I'm on MOKEE Aug 26 official release. And I wanna update to the 26 Oct official release.

Can anyone tell me the instructions?

I read somewhere (don't remember where) that I should flash the ROM along with gapps....and no wipes

Not sure whether this is the right procedure. Please help. Thanks in advance :) :thumbsup:
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
If you're updating then you can just wipe both caches and flash just the ROM, no need to reflash gapps as long as you don't format /system.

[Motorola Atrix 2] MohitAtrix2:
Did my research. A few doubts

Hey guys! I've been using Atrix 2 for the past one year. I've browsed through a lot of forums and so I do have a basic knowledge about

rooting

. But, here are a few things I'm unable to understand.

Q.1. I'm trying to install PAC-man ROM. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2409667 But the link has 2 folders namely "Release" and "Nightly". Which one should I download?

Q.2. What is BMM recovery? Should I not install ROMs using the good ol' CWM recovery?

Q.3. Do I need to unlock bootloader to install custom recovery? Isn't there an easy way around?

I find bootstrapping recovery useless since it becomes meaningless if you're stuck in a bootloop.

Q.4. Do I need to explicitly install a kernel or does it come with the custom ROM?

Additional info:

I've already rooted my phone and using the stock ICS.

Sorry if these questions sound stupid.
[Motorola Atrix 2] johngeorge82:
1. Releases are stable versions. Nightlies maybe unstable/contain bug (but theyre updated every night or regularly). Its purely ur choice

2. BMM is recovery used to install roms. Most JB roms are compatible only with BMM

3. Atrix2 bootloader cannot be (is still not actually) unlocked.

4. It comes with the ROM
[Motorola Atrix 2] darth_nihar:
If you have read all the fourums it would be clear to you that almost all the ROM's are BMM compatible only

and if you already have rooted your A2 then its quite simple installing it frm Gplay

Some ROM's are kexec based and depending upon your fone it may or may not boot so read the guide on BMM to see how to

multi boot and try other ROM's

Kernels are inbuilt into the ROM's but there is a custom kernel called JBX ported from the spyder (razr)

Why don't you just read this guide and have a look at all the options you have

I had installed Mokee OS 4.3 as my main OS (System_1 in Boot Menu Manager). When I flashed Gapps for Android 4.3, it got stuck at black screen during startup, so, I flashed "p3_edison-edison-user-4.1.2-6.7.2_GC-404-434-release-keys" using RSDlite (which I did many times today and it worked) and it is now stuck at the boot animation, whereas in RSDlite it shows as PASS, what should I do? Please help!
[Motorola Atrix 2] darth_nihar:
U stuck with black screen due to it being a kexec based ROM

Try flasing JBX kernel with it

and don't flash ROM's on ur system 1 leave it alone..............

RSD to ur stock ROM according to ur region and then root and install BMM

Goto the thread in the above post and see the thread i posted it should solve ur problem..:p

Hey guys thanks for all your help. Finally flashed PAC on system_3. Getting a lot of unusual bus though :(

Anyways, if I want to re-flash a ROM on system_3(Using BMM) , how do I format the system?

or can I just flash the new ROM over the old one after wiping cache and factory reset?

And please suggest a good non-kexec ROM.

Okay, lets say that I want to keep my current ICS and the apps I installed within ICS intact. And I want to install JB. What Do I do so that ICS & apps within it remain intact, in case JB doesnt work and/or I want to return to the last used state of ICS? (I understand I need to install apps again for JB but if I install the same app again, wont the data overwrite the previous app data/settings?

Whenever I try to do the entitlement check this happens
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
It appears from the question that he got the black screen on Mokee AFTER flashing gapps, but then said he used RSD lite and is now stuck in a bootloop after that. That is why I asked for clarification. Also, if that is the case then Kexec has nothing to do with it since the FXZ will wipe that out and re-flash the stock kernel. He probably needs to be extra sure he's using the correct FXZ. If he does have the correct one then he should probably just re-flash it and it SHOULD be OK then.

[Motorola Atrix 2] darth_nihar:
Ya exactly what i thought but i was just letting him know regarding the kexec reject models it could be due to tht mokee din boot and was stuck wid a black screen...

Ya a correct FXZ should solve his problems though :p

U should make a nandroid backup just in case smthins go wrong.....

But if you want to just pass on ur data and apps as they are then titanium backup is the solution.......:laugh:
[Motorola Atrix 2] xdduser:
No, my question is:

If I install the same app again in JB, wont the app settings/data get overwritten over the ICS app data? 50% of my apps are in phone memory, other 50% in memory card.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
[MENTION=4726175]xdduser[/MENTION] No. The different systems don't share data like that. You'll have to reinstall the apps that you want on every system. If you want the app data to be the same on every system you'll need to backup on one system then restore on another via titanium backup, etc.

No Deep Sleep :(

Hey everyone...i am having an issue with my atrix 2,wherein it doesnt go to deep sleep resulting in horrible battery life

After checking betterbatterystats,it shows the kernel wakelock USB with the majority of percentage

I have disabled mail,gtalk,maps and uninstalled all AT&T apps...i even flashed the stock rom again and tried slimbean rom too with the JBX kernel but this issue doesnt go away

Can somebody pllleaseeee help me,i love this phone and i want to keep it but charging battery twice or thrice a day isnt for me :crying:

Thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Did you have a look at the Battery Guide I posted in the A2 forum? You might find something useful there. Also, Slim might have the option for 'fastcharge' in settings that disables data transfer while plugged in, thus only utilizing the charging when plugged in via USB. I know on the S3 I had that option, but without keeping up to standards with where this phone has gone (developmentally) I can't say to for certain that would work. Have you tested the battery? Can you attach a log of the wake locks you're seeing?

I'm guessing that isn't there on the leak. You could try fishing a different ROM. Or wait. Go into Settings, Wireless and Network, Mobile Networks, Network Mode. Now choose "WCDMA only". It'll probably be on "WCDMA/GSM auto mode".

Did you check Settings>wireless & networks>mobile networks and make sure the "Use only 2G networks" box is not checked?

Is your phone MB865 or ME865? Anyway, reverting back isn't necessary. Use the method in the thread Apex gave you.

Just download ADW launcher and launch it. Long press on homescreen and click on shortcut, applications and scroll right down to the bottom where theres an application called "Testing". Launch the app and go into Phone Information and follow the method I described in the previous post. It's the same app, basically. Just a different way of launching it. :)

Why did you do a factory reset? And if you installed the OTA to ICS you should still be on ICS, even after performing a factory reset. If you didn't install it, it can be found on the /sdcard in the /cache folder -assuming you downloaded it completely...

[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
If you're having the battery reading problem along with the random rebooting then your problem is software related. You should completely wipe that system, re-download the ROM and gapps and start over with a clean flash. If you've flashed this on first system, then I would personally FXZ back to stock and try re-installing on system 3-6. Having multiple problems like this are a sure sign of a bad flash.

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

now don't think it is a software porblem(bt really wishes so ;) )
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Does the problem persist on stock? If you're not having this problem on any other system/ROM then it is indeed a software problem. You might need to destroy that partition the set it up again, and personally I would re-download the ROM and gapps to be sure that the problem isn't with the zips. For me personally, when I'm in doubt I just flash the FXZ and start fresh, though sometimes that's overkill, it doesn't hurt to start as clean as possible.
