[Nokia Lumia 800] Chrasty:
Hello,

about a week ago I moved to the UK from the Czech Republic a set up a new UK number. However, I have been swapping SIMs regularly a checking new texts on my Czech number. It worked fine until this morning. Now I can't receive any calls (it just does those three beeps and says) and can't receive any texts. Today around noon I was setting up the voicemail, but I don't see how it could affect the phone when using another SIM. Tomorrow I am going to try the SIM in my friend's phone, in the mean time, does anyone have any advice? I'll try hard reset if nothing works.

Thanks.

Thanks for this, plenty of good information.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Moscow Desire:
Consider your bootloader a prison warden. Nothing happens unless the bootloader says so. Pretty much plain and simple really. It's the partition on your device, which initiates first. And it checks to make sure the OS is a legitimate one. Ultimate security. If it thinks everything is in order (after communicating with the kernel), it boots the OS. This is the security most devs have to work at, to allow installation of custom recovery and roms.

There are 2 types of "bricks". A hard and soft brick. Soft bricks you can usually recover from. A hard brick, well, it's not impossible, but difficult. Typically with a hard brick, your device is basically dead. No response, or stuck at the logo screen forever more. forever more. forever more...... Edgar Allen Poe. You always want to avoid a hard brick. In essence, your device becomes nothing more than a ....brick.

Fastboot, is a part of the Android SDK. It allows some types of files to be "flashed" to certain partitions of the device, without a need for a custom recovery. For example a boot.img (kernel for easier terms), a recovery image, and a few other image files. Of course depending on the Bootloader, depends on what fastboot capability you have.

Some devices, Devs have been able to re-write the Bootloader to enable fastboot when it wasn't there from the factory. See Iconia A500. By virtue of patching, and re-writing, the bootloader was stripped of all security and features added. But you can't do this with all bootloaders.

Hope this explained.

Hey Bro I have an Ics ota now. Will that unroot the phone? If yes how do I root it back? And is there gonna b any problem if I update with root?

[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
If you are stock 2.3.6 rooted, then yes you will lose root.

As far as rooting ICS goes you should be able to root it with Jim's script from the thread I posted in the OP.
[Motorola Atrix 2] V1P3R92:
Just a question out of the discussion but not of the thread. Why does ATT gets last the ICS OTA?? I see Cambodia and India got it already while ATT phones are still on leaks!!! Isnt this weird considering that ATT is the biggest Moto fan?!
[Motorola Atrix 2] hemanbond:
how is the battery life on ics? better or less than GB???
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Ahem, Viper? Did you not read my post man? TRUST ME. You want to be on the leak.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
When I was on the leak, I personally was getting better battery life.

However, remember that battery life is all subjective. What might be good for me might not be others! :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] hemanbond:
and what about root checker?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Yes there is a "Root checker" however, it will not hinder your installation, but as far as long term issues? We have no idea as to what Motorola is going to do with this.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hemanbond:
its obvious for voiding our warranty
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
If you're rooting/modding/theming/tweaking/overclocking/underclocking/changing voltages/editing build.prop/etc./etc./etc. haven't you already thrown caution to the wind in regards to your warranty?

If you are concerned about it, they (Apple) just released a new iToy, so all you have to do is pull it out of the box and use it.. as is... unless you 'jailbreak it', in which case, warranty worries wander back into the equation, right?
[Motorola Atrix 2] hemanbond:

[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
You don't. You can download it, and then NOT install it if you like. Once downloaded it will be in your cache folder.

[Motorola Atrix 2] kousik:
If update failed because of checksum error, downloading again won't be of help. Most likely you have changed a file that the update is trying to patch. Better you go back to stock 2.3.6 and then apply OTA.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Guys, the update will NOT install if you have changed anything. IE: tweaked the build prop, removed bloatware or the like. You have to be 100% stock.

I did only these on ma phone. tried the bootstrap method of Cwm and also applied an app called beats audio installer from d play store. Have I did anything wrong? If yes how do I undo it?

Sent from my stock rooted Atrix2!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Having a custom recovery installed on your phone will cause the update fail. As it installs a hijack and changes system files. You need to completely remove the custom recovery, and the boot strap files. The boot menu thread has a good walkthrough on how to do so. See the link in the OP.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
You need to fxz back to a 100% stock 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 and then update to 2.3.6 from 2.3.5 and then apply the ICS leak for your region. All the while not touching the phone or rooting it or even logging into google, just leaving it TOTALLY stock.

you can't install ANYTHING at all if you want the ics update to take.

Look below in the the noob thread and how to fxz, it is about 2/3s of the way down on the first post.

Then look for the patch for 2.3.6 if you are on 2.3.6, it looks like this on that same post:

How to flash the FXZ once applying the OTA update and get back to 2.3.5, ONCE YOU UPDATE TO THE OTS 2.3.6 YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FLASH THE 2.3.5 FXZ WITHOUT FOLLOWING THESE STEPS BELOW!!

I did this and it worked somehow. (Un installed atrix2 bootstrap 1st) then

1.deleted the files hijack and logwrapper in system/bin

2.renamed logwrapper.bin to logwrapper

3.reboot

The update successfully installed.

was over excited to get ICS!

was to excited on 12/09/12 on got OTA ICS after 7 hours to figure out how to get it. And was happy till today, until reading this. I guess nothing can be done to get the leak now... And does any one have info whether boot loader will be unlocked in this??

Also will it be safe to mod build.prop... After readin this post i'm very skeptical of trying anything..
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Boot loader is the same... locked down. No changes there.

Boot menu recovery works. So use that, and MAKE A BACKUP!

Then modify the build prop if you like. Just be careful.

[Motorola Atrix 2] filip990:
Thank you Fall of Enosis for the link to this thread!

OK, so, the first ICS leak is for MB865, anyone know what ME865 users can do?

I think I will just wait for the OTA update, but I don' know for how long we'll wait for it...

Just to be clear:

when I get notification for ICS update (if I get it), i should download it, then go back to stock 2.3.6 and then install update from sdcard

Also, restore I made with CWM won't work on ICS?

Right?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Could have sworn there was an is leak for the me865 as well... You just have to search for it mate.

And yes, you need to be 100% stock to install the OTA update. ;)

and with safemode off, it just boots scv7 like normal? wtf

Dang dude, I'm gonna bow out if this one as I never used safestrap.

May want to post in the safestrap forum. Our shoot hashcode a PM. I'm just not that familiar with it. :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I would agree with Fall, PM hashcode and let him know. I think there is something not right about about safestrap, we have seen a lot of bootloops from it. P.S. you can ONLY run roms in safe mode, and not for your "main" system. Safestrap really is a tool for testing ROMs or running ROMs that require a kexec kernel.

i had 350 mb free on mem card, and when toggling safe mode, it said my memory may be low for backup, but the whole operation finished in 1 second, so i doubt my memory ran out.

Hey just wanted to know if 32k sim gave prblms on gb to u??

I m having issues with network connection when i switched to vodafone from tata docomo.

Searched for netwrk issues on google i found someone told to switch to 64k sim.
[Motorola Atrix 2] gotcha!!!:
Are you still on GB ? Does your phone randomly lose network with a red cross at the signal bars? This problem is there only on the vodafone network. It came after Moto released an update sometime around June 2012. I tried a 32K sim card as well, but the issue remained. After the update to ICS, I have no issues at all. I'm loving the ICS experience, especially since Moto have not changed much and left it almost stock. Plus the upgrade has made my processor 1.2ghz..!! :good:

Yup the 32k sim has compatibility issues with the latest GB update and even i had problems. But ics sorts out everything, networks been super till now.

The 'H' means you're on 3G. 3g drains a LOT of battery, so use it only when u need it, the rest of the time just switch to 2G, its good enough to get notifications.

Also the screen is always the max batt hogger. Thats normal, and if possible always keep ur screen on minimum brightness possible, no auto brightness.

also your network seems to be quite weak from the networks bars, that could also be one of the reasons for the battery drain.

You'll get to know a lot about how the battery is supposed to behave normally and how you can make it better.

Any rogue batt draining apps ?

Charge your phone for an hour more once it hits full charge, theres still 5% batt battery left to charge. Are you running gsam battery monitor? Cause it doesnt show the 1% battery increment after 95% jumps directly to 100%

Sent from my MB865 on rooted ICS leak
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
I see you're unrooted which means your not using a 1% mod, so I would fully charge, unplug the phone and then go settings, then battery and see what it says.

Stock increments are at ten percent but the battery monitor is at one.

[Motorola Atrix 2] chayan18885:
Yes buddy, read the thread way back. And thank for posting again. Well the battery monitor is "Battery Status",by modded logic. And smartaction cannot help me with the thing when i power on lose 10%. Also im not aware of any battery sucking app. Ummm well, i am thinking of taking it to the service center. But have read bad experiences of Indian customer support. How do i make them understand. And how to force them to give me new battery. And do you have a same type of battery stat page, where the display takes almost 70-80%????
[Motorola Atrix 2] filip990:
My battery is now 1h 25m since charged, and showing 60% screen with only 5 minutes when the screen was on (or in use). I don't think this is normal...

Also, my battery goes down 1% per hour when not in use.

I had very good battery with GB... :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] chayan18885:
What all have you done for the past 1ht and 25min???? Also chck for any background apps that are running ( including the cached processes). It will help to analyse...
[Motorola Atrix 2] filip990:
Nothing. My phone fully charged, and I unplugged it and used it for 5 minutes (screen's time on is 5 minutes in battery stats), and that's all. Cpu spy is showing me the majority is deep sleep. Last night i reset timer (in cpu spy) and in the morning I checked and the phone was the whole time in deep sleep (over the night). but when I use the phone (turn on the screen), the battery is going down fast. Sometimes 10% in one hour just for surfing the net. Screen brightness settings are on very low, no 3g, no data sync, no wifi when I don't use the phone.

EDIT : So, my battery is decent when the phone is in deep sleep, but very bad when I use the phone. I also checked BetterBatteryStats and I don't have any wakelocks, or something like that. The biggest wakelock in partial wakelocks yesterday was PowerManagerService, but it run for 15-20min out of 20h+ of my battery, so it's very little...

Oh, and my battery run for 26-27h yesterday, and i barely used the phone (screen time on was 5-6h) and the screen was ~60-70% in battery stats.

I hope someone understands me
[Motorola Atrix 2] :
It shows in the increments/decrements of 10 %. For 95%it will show 100% charged. And even for 94% it will say 90% .
[Motorola Atrix 2] anikadam:
The service centre is bad, theyre too slow. Delays in everything even though there are hardly any customers. I had got a battery exchanged which took about a week. So get ready for delays.

Tell them that ics hasnt solved your battery drain problem which is there right from gb and that u want a new battery.

Here's my batt stat (have an extended battery)

Its like that since i got on to ics and inspite of that i get around 1 day 2hrs from a full charge. Screen time is 6 -7hrs.

Try using this Battery app by macropinch, and once ur phone hits full charge/100% keep charging for an hour more, might help you. And do get that new battery, might as well be a bad battery.

I read this somewhere (I think in jims first leak thread), but not in this thread so just wanted to confirm... whenever the actual ics goes live, can we fxz back to 2.3.6 and then ota to the official ics? Or once on the leak... There's no official anymore?

Thnx.

If you are currently on GB, or the FIRST ICS leak, then yes, you can fxz back to stock GB and then OTA to the official ICS. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] cloudedhopes:
thnx - what does jim mean when he say: "... since the BL is going to be the same, you may not be able to install the "real" OTA at all, ..."
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Okay, the first thing you have to understand is that ice cream Sandwich is just a patch for gingerbread. But it patches everything. OS, kernel, and finally bootloader. So when you first made that jump to ICS, your phones bootloader was updated. Our workaround to fxz back was to remove the bootloader installation files for the gingerbread FXZ. So essentially, when you FXZ back into gingerbread you will still have the ICS bootloader.

Now when you go to OTA to ICS it will be looking for the gingerbread bootloader that will not be there. So because it is looking for gingerbread files to patch that are not there the installation may fail.

On the bright side, we have found that the current ICS soak test files are exactly the same as the second leak we got. So we most likely already have the official OTA.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cloudedhopes:
ah! now makes some sense... thanks for the additional info :)
