[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
When it boots to the screen that says AP fastboot/flash failure, what is the bootloader number? Should be something like 0A.** (**=numbers)

Also this is the perfect place to ask questions. It is after all the help thread ;)

atrix 2 MB865 Miui

Is there a fix for the battery drain on the att atrix 2 MB865 runing MIUI 2.10.12 ?

---------- Post added at 03:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 AM ----------

I have a atrix 2 rooted and with the rom that came with it there was no options for switching between 2g 3g and 4g .Is there a custom rom for the AT&T mb865 with those options? I am runing MIUI but the battery doesnt last and the phone gets hot.

Offline Map issue

Hi,

I downloaded a map through 'Make Available Offline' option of maps. It was working fine but suddenly one day it started showing map download failed. Then I tried saving map again, but I am not getting option to save it. I select the area to save but 'DONE' button is disabled.

I also tried deleting the old saved map and saving again, but got same issue.

What do I have to do to make it work again?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
Have you tried wiping cache and data for maps, then uninstalling, reboot, and then installing it again?

[Motorola Atrix 2] deepakanand:
Tried now...still the same :(

P.S. : By uninstalling you mean uninstall the updates(?) since I don't got the option to uninstall map (only disable option is there)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
You could try to uninstall updates then update. But if it's just Google maps, you could delete it from system after uninstalling updates, then download from the market and install.

Also are you rooted? And do you have a custom ROM?

Going back to stock

I'm currently running PA 2.57. I also have a backup of the stock motoICS rom. To go back to stock, can I safely do so by simply restoring the backup or do I need to go through the FXZ process?

You'll have to use the FXZ appropriate for your device's firmware.

How bad do you want root? This may be your last ditch effort in getting the method to work. We've seen this need for a factory reset many times before with users who can't attain root via the root.bat file methods.
[Motorola Atrix 2] bull8042:
I don't know. According to this poster, the problem has been resolved: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29478358&postcount=18

However, I just downloaded and installed Romulus this week, so.....either that ROM is still using an older version of boot/recovery, or the issue is not really resolved. You may have something different that prevents the problem I described, but I wouldn't recommend letting your battery discharge completely just in case.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
If you've not physically removed the old boot hijack files, then the battery monitoring will still be absent. It's nothing to do with the ROM, but solely held responsible from the old CWM hijack files / log wrapper. But, with the new and improved BootMenu recovery, this won't be a worry for anyone, so long as the old hijack files have been deleted...

Root for ICS OTA

Hi,

I have upgraded my Atrix 2 with OTA ICS. But I lost my root and am not able to root it with any of the methods. Is it possible to root without a factory reset? Is it possible that if I waqit for some time, a new root might be available?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
What is your firmware/location? I have to assume that you're on the official ICS OTA that released for India. And to answer your question, yes, we will get a root method at some point. The dev team will come up with something for us, I'm absolutely confident...

While I haven't tried it on the OTA, Jim's script worked on every other ICS build I tried it on. So I'd say yes.

[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
Worked fine on leak #2 and if the first ota(2.3.5-2.3.6) is anything to go by then this latest leak will be the final version. So there shouldn't be any issues with the root exploit.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Chr0nos77:
When the official ICS OTA comes out, do I have to unroot my phone before I install it?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
It won't matter if you are rooted, but the thing you'll need to watch for is if you have CWM and/or Atrix 2 Bootstrap .apk installed, you'll have to remove them and all their files, and be completely bone stock 2.3.6. If you are rooted at the time of the official ICS OTA, and as long as you are fully stock, all that will happen is that you will upgrade and subsequently break root...

EDIT: so, will this work for ME865?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Yeah, you should be all set with this one...
[Motorola Atrix 2] filip990:
One more question, do I have to go back to stock 2.3.6 in order to install OTA ICS later, even if I only rooted my phone and made a restore (backup) with CWM? So, no custom ROM installed, no build.prop edited, no any of system files edited or changed. Only if root permissions changed system files, I don't know...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Yes, you'll need to be bone stock 2.3.6. Now, whether you FXZ to 2.3.5 and OTA to 2.3.6 prior to the official ICS OTA's release, or get yourself on 2.3.6 via script or flashing via RSD Lite, you have to be completely 100% out-of-the-box stock. You can't have any system files or apps removed, no build prop edits, nothing that isn't fully proprietary to Moto's stock ROM. You'll need to be sure that CWM and Bootstrap are both removed, along with all of their files also. Even though you've only rooted and installed CWM, made a backup, and that's all, you'll still have to be stock for the OTA to install...

It could be a bad download, so try downloading the file again and extract it, then plug your phone in to the computer, then double click root.bat. If that's still a no go, try another factory reset. Also make sure USB debugging and unknown sources are enabled before trying to root.

It worked somehow.. it said rooted and super user is installed.

Can you tell me how to use rsd lite it still doesnt show the phone in rsd.. i am gonna flash the numa rom but if something goes wrong i should be able to fxz back.

To install numa i am gonna follow following steps:

1. I have installed bootstrapper

2. Boot into bootstrapper recovery

3. wipe data

4. install zip

5. wipe dalvik cache and cache

7. reboot

8. done

Is this right ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
If I'm not mistaken, the phone needs to be in fastboot mode. But, you can make a backup after you install the bootstrap, then boot to recovery and make a backup. Then you can flash numa, and if you don't like it, you can just boot to recovery and restore your original backup.

tried to flash a mod and now phone wont start

ok, i had a nice zip that modified the battary and other things its name is alt4battreboot (got it from here) anyway i used to have it on my phone and i upgraded to ICS lately (stock) and after a while i wanted to flash that mod and i kinda forgot it was for the GB, so now that phone wont go past the AT&T logo, but i have downloaded the BMM so i can use recovery freely (unfortunately i didnt have a backup).

finally my phone is an AT&T on stock OTA, and bootmanu manager is accessible, so help please ? :crying:
[Motorola Atrix 2] gadgetroid:
Flash back to stock GB. Then, if you're still interested in ICS, upgrade. But get back to stock first. :thumbup:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ne-oL:
why flash back to GB ??? i think i can flash back to ICS easily, it seems that you did not understand my problem correctly, i love ICS, and i have a lot of important things so i dont really want to format and start from zero, so i thought there might be a way to reverse what i did without losing my data...

EDIT: okay i lost hope with saving my data, so i want to flash ics again thru the RSD lite, but is there a ICS fastboot files (i mean the official not leak). thx
[Motorola Atrix 2] gadgetroid:
If you're stuck in a bootloop, you're going to lose your data anyway. You just have to flash back to the latest stock ROM for your region. Doesn't matter if its ICS or GB.

Or if you have an nandroid backup of the ROM before you installed the zip (it doesn't have to be latest, just one from before when you installed the zip), then you won't have to lose much data at all.

I don't claim to know much about the development of your device, but this is just basic knowledge and I'm pitching in. ;) So, no flames, please!

Small note: flashing a custom ROM through recovery might also work in theory. ;)

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

Or another thing you can do is take an nandroid backup of the ROM you currently have and then flash back to stock ICS, and do a selective restore from the nandroid you just made. ;) Has never failed for me. :)

Ive recently been asked to upgrade my sister's ATT Atrix 2 and am running into problems. It is rooted, has clockwork recovery on it, and currently is running 55.13.25.mb865.att.en.us . I had loaded supercharge on it around when she first got it but awhile ago my sister did a factory reset through the normal on screen prompts and I guess that reverted it back to the stock ATT firmware. I am wanting to upgrade to ICS but can not through the "check for updates" prompt. It just fails.

My basic question is whats the easiest way to get ICS on it?

Should I revert back to 2.3.5,update to 2.3.6, then ICS OTA?

Or can I just flash directly to 4.0.4?

I found the official OTA at HERE and wondering if I could just flash that and be done with it. (Specific file I downloaded is InlineFlashing_Edison_67.21.125_CFC_P3_APBP.xml.zip)?

Or anything else I can/should do before flashing.

I have read the noobie guide and have a general feel for what I should do but just want to make sure and ask first before diving head first. It has been awhile since I worked on an Atrix2 and seems like its easier to brick than other devices I have flashed in the past.

Thanks for any/all suggestions.

Edit: Decided to just flash the file with the batch file and hope for the best. Luckily, everything worked fine and the Atrix2 is running ICS now.
[Motorola Atrix 2] gadgetroid:
Glad to hear that, but it's always better to revert back to stock that the phone came with and then upgrade to ICS. You'll have a clean ROM that way, and you won't run into any problems down the road. ;)

I'm really confused about the atrix 2, funny how you can know about several phones but not make heads or tails about another.

Backing up Atrix 2

Hey,

I have a couple questions regarding my Motorola Atrix 2. I am preparing to root my device (my first time) and I decided to use the "adb" tool that comes with the Android SDK to back up my phone before I started. I used this command: adb backup -apk -shared -all -f FILEPATH to back up everything on my device. But after the backup finishes there is no backup file to be found. Anywhere. Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing a step? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix 2] gadgetroid:
Yes, if the developer supports that Atrix 2 version. I'm not an Atrix 2 owner myself, but have had issues with this on other devices.

You'll have CSC issues if it doesn't support your phone to say the least.

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

Since you haven't rooted yet, you can use a few free apps off the Play Store to do so. Since the command you gave is just for backing up the apps, I am going to assume that that's the only thing you need backed up.

You can use Astro File Manager from Play Store to backup all your apps. In addition, unless your contacts aren't on Google's servers, you can back them up by going into Contacts, clicking on the Menu button and selecting Export => To SDCard.

Obviously, I don't do all this every time I root my device when I test ROMs and stuff. You have nothing to fear if you know what you're doing. Nothing will go wrong if you follow the correct steps listed on the thread. ;)

But in case something DOES happen (which is highly unlikely, given that you're only rooting it), know that I'm here and that I'll help you out. :)

[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
There is no SlimBean ROM version (official or ported) for the Atrix 2. However, there are several nice custom ROMs developed for this device. But, as always finding a ROM that suits your wants/needs is all dependant on the individual. Also, buying from sites such as Craigslist is often a risky endeavor, as you never know what you're going to get (ie: phone with fried motherboard, bad digitizer, etc.) so use caution.
[Motorola Atrix 2] CrimsonCode:
I appreciate the quick response!

I was actually trying to back up my entire device, everything in my internal storage and SD card. From the tutorials I read online, I had the impression that command would do just that. The tutorial claimed that -apk would backup apps, -shared would backup SD card, -all would backup internal storage (except for apps), and-f FILEPATH would save the backup to the path specified. I also made sure I used the correct syntax. But for some reason it didn't actually create the .ab backup file once the backup finished.

I have a few backup apps that I downloaded from the play store, but they won't suffice because my intentions are to backup my entire device before I root it. This will be my first time rooting a device and I want to make sure I have a full backup in case I mess up hahahaha.

Is there another way to fully backup my device? Or possibly a solution to the issue I am having with adb?

By the way, when I root my ATRIX 2 I plan to use the instructions I found on xda. Eventually, I'm would like to install the jelly bean ROM available for the ATRIX 2 that i found on xda as well.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Lifehacker7:
Have you tried carbon app by koush? ( I haven't tried it though)

And rooting won't screw up your phone.

After you're rooted, make a nandroid backup.

No data should be lost when you do it correctly. Just go ahead and do it.

If you have the ATT version of a2, then the jb leak isn't for you.

But you can try other CM and PA ROMs.

And also download the proper fxz files and you will be able to easily come back to stock ics if anything is screwed up badly. ( only soft bricks)

I haven't tried that before, I'll definitely check it out! I'm not worried rooting will mess up my phone, I just don't want to mess it up by accidentally doing something wrong in the process. Just trying to play it safe, ya know?

However, if you think I will be okay without the backup, I will go ahead and do it. May I ask what those ROMs are? Sorry, I'm completely new to rooting. Also, what are fxz files and where may I find them?

Oh!!! One more thing! I heard that you need the original USB cord when rooting, is this true? Because mine was damaged so I have been using another Motorola USB. I believe it belongs to a Droid Pro, is that going to be a problem?
