[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
No, you do not need to remove the SIM card before rooting. Not necessary. ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
As Fall of Enosis stated, no it is not necessary to remove either the SIM or the SD card prior o rooting. Also, if you are certain you are on bone stock ICS with no files touched, you should be fine to omit the factory reset prior to rooting, however; some users still ran into trouble with the rooting process, both before and afterward, and the only solution seemed to be the reset. You will just have to try and see which category of people having this issue you fall in to. I ran the root script a month or ore ago, only once, in testing for the second leak, so I am not entirely certain the "un-root" process. I also believe I delete the script file from my computer, so I can dig into it to see if it has a .bat file to un-root. If, for nothing else, and you see a need in the future to un-root, just PM Jim or post in the ICS leak thread that has the root script that Jim has posted...

Maybe this is a silly question but is there a way to force check system/app for updated versions against google market or a 3rd party market?
[Motorola Atrix 2] RoadToNever:
To provide some context to my question: I'm running SCv7. The included Youtube app is v4.0.5. Market shows "installed" and latest avaliabvle is v4.1.23. An update isn't offered. So I try making it a user app in TiBu, still no updates offered. I go to the Youtube entry in market again, re-install and presto I have the shiny new Youtube. I assume the behavior I'm seeing is related to the Youtube app being set up as a system app in the ROM? So this makes me wonder if theres any automated solution that scans through systems apps and checks if an updated version is avaliable?
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Thanks :good: & was looking for some help on the other queries as well, anyone?
[Motorola Atrix 2] peri_X:
I ran "adb devices" and as you had suspected, it did not find any device connected.

I find this strange considering the fact that I downloaded the drivers recently and the device was in USB debugging mode. What could be the issue here? I tried reinstalling the drivers again, gives the same response.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RoadToNever:
Ok, it seems I misattributed the lack of updates. The reason is that the youtube apk included in SCv7 is a custom themed one.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Noted all, thanks. I will now finally take the plunge :fingers-crossed:

Go back to ME865 after MB865 transformation

Dear All,

I'm kindly asking your help regarding an ME865 phone which has been transformed to MB865.

MotorolaDeviceManager_2.2.28 and RSD Lite 5.7 have been used on Windows 7 64 bit from the beginning.

Steps done till now:

1. 5.5.1-EDEM-27-MEARET_cfc.xml has been flashed over stock 55.90.11.ME865.Retail.en.05 firmware.

2. Blur_Version.55.28.37.MB865.MERetail.en.06 has been installed with stock recovery

3. Phone has been rooted and Bootstrap recovery has been installed

4. [ROM] [4.0.4]ICS [a la carte] Stock and Lite 48 languages has been installed with Bootstrap restore feature.

5. 5.5.1-1_GC-90_EDISON-11_HKTW_cfc.xml and also to 5.5.1-1_GC-90_EDISON-11_CHN_cfc.xml have been tried to flash back. Flashing ends with status: Failed flashing process. 2/15 flash cdt.bin "cdt.bin" -> Phone returned FAIL.

6. 5.5.1-EDEM-27-MEARET_cfc.xml flashed back successfully.

7. OTA update to stock MB865 4.0.4

There is a way to go back to stock ME865 GB rom?

Thanks in advance for Your support.

Regards,

PpenoO

[Motorola Atrix 2] Chiapanacas:
So this weekend I grabbed Jim's ICS leak, and the ROM SwiftyTrix by TimmyTim. I started noticing that after some amount of inactivity, my backlight kicks on and shows I don't have signal. That's the only change I see whenever this happens, so it seems to be a subtle notification of having no service. I haven't timed how long it takes for it to happen, or when it kicks back on. Usually, I'll check my phone for messages, etc., reply to what have you, and by the time i check for signal it's back or is within a couple of seconds. Maybe it's something I'm unaware of in ICS, or as a whole, but I've never noticed it until now and have had the a2 since December. :P Is this some issue that came up in the leak or ROM that I didn't see checking through the replies, has this always been a thing and I've never noticed, or what?
[Motorola Atrix 2] 95maxima:
yes i see superuser app
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Generally, radio issues like this can be caused by faulty SIM cards. Did you run the original stock leak for any amount of time? As I doubt it is the ROMS issue.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Check to see if updating the Superuser binary clears it up. Also, check to see where su is located, either /system/bin or /system/xbin...

Here's a quick question.i recently managed to recover from a boot loop in ICS leak2 and now i am back on ICS leak1 would it be safe for me to flash the various tweaks available for leak 1? Say for instance 1% battery mod and drop down toggles???
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
I saw that. :eek:

I don't see why that would pose any issues, since you're now on ICSL1, and those mods were written for ICSL1's build. Might not hurt for a second opinion to show up here, before flashing those. I don't want to give false/incorrect information. But I can't imagine why there be any problems doing this...

Sent from my rooted Mayan Calendar
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
If you're talking about altered's mods then yes. Those were designed for the first leak and safe. Heck I tested them for him, But for Pete's sake, if you are the second leak then DO NOT flash them, as you will boot loop. Just like I did. ;),

EDIT: Ah, apex, you were a little quicker on the draw than I was. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:

If all went well well your Atrix 2 should be rooted!
Thanks for using, and enjoy root!

Press any key to exit.

any help figuring out why im getting this when i run the root is appreciated
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
If you go to your android-sdk/tools folder I think you'll find a message :

The adb tool has moved to platform-tools/

If you don't see this directory in your SDK, launch the SDK and AVD Manager (execute the android tool) and install "Android SDK Platform-tools"

Please also update your PATH environment variable to include the platform-tools/ directory, so you can execute adb from any location.

So you should also add C:/android-sdk/platform-tools to you environment path. Also after you modify the PATH variable make sure that you start a new Command Prompt window...

If I would have started a thread just for a build.prop then I would have been told it would have been better received in an already created topic, etc. I'm damned if I do, and damn if I don't. I figured this was kind of a free for all thread and that a simple build.prop would be easy to get. If nothing else I'll just restore my backup and pull it myself.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Dude, you misunderstood me. All I was suggesting is that you might find a better audience if you post this in a thread related to the leaks. I just don't know how many 'experienced' users stroll through this thread, aside from myself and a handful of others. If I had my A2, and could pull it myself, believe me I would. Since, however, it is in the hands of Mototola for possible warranty exchange after I fried it with my car battery, I simply cannot provide you the build.prop file. I wasn't trying to desparage you, just pointing you to a better place to seek help on this...

Edit: I'll see what I can do to track this down with you. Fair enough?

i have a query

my network gets disconnected every time it tries to go from EDGE to HSPA and vice a versa

i tried selecting modes to 2G/3G but it doesn't work

i searched and read somewhere that we need some GSM patches to get proper network (if have ATT hardware)

my question is..... is there any application/mod that allow me to select my baseband frequencies ? (like selectin 1 from quad band)

also some more info is helpful ..... i'm staying in Bangalore & on BSNL network
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
I would suppose there may be some problems in doing so, since the build versions are different from ICSL1 to ICSL2, and if you are trying to restore from a bcakup of either, there may be slight (or more important) variances between the two builds to cause you grief. As far as the .apk, I will see what I can dig up for you. Have you tried pulling from your backup? I don't suppose that Google .apks would be changed in the firmware versions, since they are two separate things...

Had the same problem but on Vodafone.

Here use this

http://db.tt/IZjfRSDg

And btw no u don't need to patch anything to baseband it is suited for all the frequencies 850,1900(usa) and 900,1800(India).it is most probably the operator,well atleast in my case it was. the exact same thing used to happen it would catch 3g for like a second and then all network would disappear and then it would catch 2g and hold on to it forever.I tried forcing into wcdma only mode but then there was no network.later I found the bug was in carrier I send an SMS to activate 3g and all is well since.

Edit:reread your post sorry I thought you just needed to change the band from wcdma proffered to wcdma only however try 3g reactivation

Yay. First post asking for help. Here's the issue and I hope someone can at least point me in the right direction.Here recently I decided I wanted to try custom roms on my Atrix 2. Rooted it no problem and backed some stuff up using Titainium Backup. Then I decide to do stuff that I didn't completely understand. I installed Bionic Bootstrap so it could install CWM Recovery(i think). After this point I got really confused and decided to just leave it alone and not bother with it due to risk of bricking. Now a week later my phone prompts me for the ICS OTA update. My question is, is CWM/Bionic Bootstrap going to cause an issue with the OTA? If so, how do I go around going back stock to update? ICS is all I really wanted in the first place and I would be so happy if someone could assist a somewhat dumb person stop from messing up their phone. :D
