Thanks for the link. I was searching for others experiences, but didn't go back quite far enough I guess.

Going forward, I will just have to be careful and make sure to not let the battery fully discharge. Thanks for your help.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
See, what's weird is that I've never had that issue, as mentioned by me in that thread. Nonetheless, there's some good explanations and suggestions in that one. And yes, I would advise everyone to not allow your battery to fully discharge to the point of a power down, after doing anything to the boot sequence (hijacking) to avoid this from happening...

Haha how are you man?

I've used both phones, and though I don't own the Atrix HD, I know it's a good phone. Though in my humble opinion, I'm all for the A2. You can ask this in the *what phone should i buy thread* and get a better response I'm sure. There also may already be posts about the AHD in that thread. So be sure and read before posting :thumbup:

Well not sure if yall can answer this question.

Its a bit off.

But ya'll seem to be able answering or atelast steer me in the correct direction.

I undersstand that there a Locked and Unlocked Bootloader.

This prevents you from Flashing the custom Rom onto the primary Space of the phone.

Now people that have Locked Bootloader that cant be unlocked bc its a hardware lock.

They have to use something like SafeStrap, which essentially splits their internal space.

and Makes an alternate drive for the Custom rom to be installed in.

If that is the case you essentilally having a dead space of the old Original rom lying dormant inside the phone ?

Is the Bootloader that is locked inside the chip or can it be hotwired similar to the samsung to be unlocked ?

Sincerely Germanese
[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
Well an unlocked BL would give you the ability to flash custom kernels and would give the devs more options for custom ROMs. We have people currently working on the unlock right now, but it's a very tedious and difficult job. It is definitely not easy. I've read and heard that some are really close to unlocking it, but it takes time. JTAG and riff boxes cannot revive our phone from the dead, so this makes it more difficult and has probably deterred many from attempting to unlock it. If it happens, it will be in due time brother.

But I will say, the devs here have already done many things that an unlocked BL would allow, so its not like we're at a loss. We just can't flash custom kernels and our ROM selection is limited. But the devs here kick ass, and I'm more than happy with what they've done to this phone.

When and if the BL gets unlocked, things will change drastically with this phone for the better. All we can do is hope for the best.

Oh and there is already a bounty being collected for the one who can crack the BL. It's just a matter of when and if it can be done. Though my faith is in Jim for this. If anybody can do it, he can. He's the Guru of the A2 community.

Thats what i Heard for the Atrix Model.

I have heard worse for my other phone which is a Razr M

That the bootloader is Physically Locked inside the hardware.

May this be true for atrix also ?

[Motorola Atrix 2] Germanese:
Now to my next question.

I am not sure if you followed the Samsung world.

They found out if they Hotwire a resistor spot near the USB Controller allows them to Flash their devices.

May this be also true for our Motor phone or is the lock out done on the Chip Level ?

Because if its not Shorting the Connectors on the board isn't as hard then ?

I have done similar for PSP and XBOXs back in the days. So you can flash the Firmware banks them selfs instead running a Chip.

ΧΔΑ Fraternity's Rush Chairman
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Listen, I can tell you that every possible attempt has been made to crack the bootloader of the Atrix 2, all to which have yielded no success stories. Jim, and the other devs have owned the phone essentially since day one of its release, and there have been countless efforts made to unlock it. The problem lies with the fact that Motorola has signed the bootloader in a way that is virtually "un-crackable". So, for over a year, after many angles and ideas tried, the bootloader still remains to be locked down tighter than you think.

The way Moto has signed the RSA key sig in the bootloader is either 512 or 1024 bit cyphered, and key sigs are all over the damn place. It's not as simple as unlocking an Xbox, this is Motorola here. If you're unfamiliar with how locked down these devices are, you need to do more reading up on the bootoaders here in the A2 forums (there's been many threads and many more explanations as to why it's damn near impossible to crack the key sigs). I'm not saying all of this to be a ****, but it's been covered, and a simple search of the forum of the keyword 'bootloader' will bring up many comprehensible reasonings as to why this device is the way it is.

Like I said, there are key sigs all over Moto's devices, as in the boot images are signed, the kernel is signed and the ramdisk/zimage is signed, so it's not just as easy as flipping a resistor on the MB to bypass the key sig checks, this is foolish in thought when dealing with Moto devices. If it were as easy as you suggested, don't you think that someone with half a mind to do as you suggested would have already tried this, considering the phone has been out for so long? The A2's bootloader has three parts, each with its own step in the chain of security checks. These steps all have a cert attached to it, and there is no way to jump to the next without clearing the previous step in the chain before handing off to the next binary/loader.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Germanese:
I never said it would be an easy task, I am aware its harder than it sounds.

Finding and Bypassing or even cracking the keys takes a lot of work and many many nights of code crunching with the risk of bricking expensive devices. Including it maybe Hardware and Software related to get pass it. You are right I have not read into the A2 Bootloader portion of the Atrix 2 specific.

I was more interested in their new phones Photon Razr M and HD series since they have an unlocked counter part, been trying to find out what makes them differ by maybe someone already dissembled them with HD pics of each board component and compare; hardware, software or if they are doing this server based white list black list game. Was hoping to be pointed into the correct direction but it seems the atrix 2 are still locked down and differ slightly from the Razr Family.

I guess me and my friends have to wait until all our devices arrive and see. =)

Even though it did sound dickish a little little bit NO worries, ur reply gave me useful information for our adventures where to look at and what to expect. I appreciate you taking your time and typing the small rundown on what has been happening with the Atrix 2 Bootloader.

Wont be expecting less with the Razr ones. Atleast there was some development going on with the atrix platform, ...

Me again!!

Hi guys!!

Sorry for so much questions, but I guess they gotta be asked lest I should do anything wrong!

I even used search bar but couldn't come up with a satisfactory explanation.

So, which CPU governors are you guys using (I'm on CM10 edison)?

I have used interactive(which is default in CM10 I guess), interactivex, pegasusq, hotplug and hotplugx.

For me, pegasusq is the smoothest.

But I want one which gives best battery/performance and I'm too lazy to test all of those :p

Can you post your views/suggestions based on your experiences?

Thanks in advance..

Backing up, and FXZ

Hi Everyone and Anyone. I've been looking for how to flash a FXZ file, exactly, and how to back up.

I've seen a lot about fastboot for flashing FXZ, and bootstrap or CM10 recovery for backing up.

But can someone PM me and perhaps explain to me the process? It would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently considering flashing to CM10, but want to make sure I can get back to ICS/my current rom (swiftytrix). I have Bootstrap Recovery currently.

I understand that I can either FXZ back to ICS, as there is an official firmware team file for that, or back up?

Thank you very much, any help would be appreciated.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
If you're on SwiftyTrix now, do you have CWM Recovery installed? You can just download the CM10 zip and flash in the custom recovery that way (that's what I did). And yes, there is now an FXZ thread for many international build as well as for those on the AT&T, so if you ever run into trouble, you can FXZ back. However, if all your doing is flashing ROMs based on ICS, you can just go between them fluidly like before we had ICS we were all on GB. If you are confused about the processes, feel free to PM me, and I will help however needed.

Clarify me here

Sorry that I'm being so repetitive... but I just want confirmation for this.

Being on JB, I can just simply flash via a recovery (CM Recovery) back to ICS??

Thank y'all. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
If you're trying to go back to stock ICS, I'd just flash via RSD Lite. Just make sure you're using the pepper FXZ file. Although, I suppose you could do it in CWM, since you had to be on ICS to begin with in order to make the jump to 4.1. Are you on a leaked ICS version, or the actual OTA?

ΧΔΑ Fraternity's Godfather. Read About Our History!
[Motorola Atrix 2] skimilk44:
I believe I'm on a leaked version, since I didn't update OTA. But I have CWM, and, as you probably know, will have the CM recovery when on CM10
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Okay, if you were on the leak, just flash via clockworkmod recovery the same leak zip you used previously, should be good to go. Make sure you wipe everything in CWM Recovery prior to flashing!

ΧΔΑ Fraternity's Godfather. Read About Our History!
[Motorola Atrix 2] skimilk44:
Alright, but it's to my understanding that we shouldn't download or install any other type of recovery once on CM10. should I just use CM's recovery that's already provided to us via the flash?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
CM10's recovery is a CWM Recovery, correct? Bootstrap is also a CWM, but it hijacks the system a different way than others, which is why it's a bad idea to install any other recovery after being on CM10.

Guys need your urgent help i am into a trouble what is it called technically may be a Soft brick but this is what has happened.

Thanks & Regards,

Beginner Android (Ravi D)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
I'm not familiar with the MagicMod ROM, but how did you flash it to begin with? If it's anything like CM10,you absolutely cannot install any other custom recoveries after flashing, but again I'm not certain if that's the case for MagicMod. If the phone won't boot, or is bootlooping, you have yourself a soft brick. You'll need to resolve this by flagging the FXZ to ICS. It won't matter which version of RSD Lite you choose, but the thing to worry about is making sure you flash the correct file. There's a 'Super Thread' in the development section and a separate thread for users on AT&T with FXZ files. But again, make sure you know which one you need, otherwise your soft brick could become a hard brick. Good luck...

[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
Ok so you're trying to fxz and RSD won't recognize your phone.. so if you select start on RSD and it doesn't run, try going into stock recovery by pressing both vol+and vol- and power button at the same time, selecting recovery, then at the Android, press vol+vol- at same time, then select factory data reset, or wipe data, whichever it says.

Then put your phone back into fastboot and see if the computer recognizes it. A factory data reset should help the computer recognize the device.
