[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
still too early to tell at this point, I have been trying to keep it all the same, but there were several libs I have had to use from the att ics build just to get it to the point I am at right now, but cross your fingers, because like I said I should have something to test again this weekend, for the same testers that I have been working with for the last week. Once we have it looking good (or maybe if we have it looking good), it will be released then. I am not doing anything to it, just 100% stock and root, no deodex, or anything else.
[Motorola Atrix 2] duchski:
I thought we all are...
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
kernel?

Since this is from the official 4.1 are we going to to have to stay with the ics kernel? That has me puzzled since we are still locked.:confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Co2Noss:
Please read the following again.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
The kernel between the ICS and the JB leak is the EXACT same version, so no new kernel is needed at this point. Now if another leak comes out like the 2nd leak for ICS did, and has another kernel, then we will not be able to get any of the benefits from that.
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
hmm alrighty

Sounds good
[Motorola Atrix 2] kyolic:
Which is 3.0.8. Am I right?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
You guys are getting way too hung up on this... whichever kernel you are currently running is going to be the EXACT same kernel you are running after you flash this, because WE (AT&T users) will ONLY be getting a flashable zip'd ROM out of this, not a FULL firmware, that is all anyone can provide you at this point, so no you really will NOT be running a true 100% Jelly Bean stock Firmware, you will be running a sudo ICS/JB ROM. That is the best thing we can do.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kyolic:
Just out of curiosity Jim, is the [CM10]Unofficial CyanogenMod10 Port for Atrix2(edison) rom pure JB compared to this one your are working on or is it the same hybrid ICS/JB concept?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
same... actually anything for this phone on att will be a hybrid, since we will NEVER officially get JB. Now that international guys are a whole other ball of wax, and why we are trying to port this for you guys, before I bow out of here.
[Motorola Atrix 2] demonoid phenomenom:
first, thanks jim for doing this for us

second, if this will be a hybrid ics/jb rom, we wont get the xx Gb of user available storage although we will get the look and feel of jb right?

third and last, what phone will be your next main development device? lg nexus or sg3? (just to know how much to save till i can purchase it , really cant wait for ubuntu os phone)

btw just asking XD

sent from the gray stuff inside my skull
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Well we never would have gotten the 1GB of webtop space back and use-able as storage anyhow. The TW/HK and international users already had more internal storage than we att users did, not sure why, but that was the case. We technically have 4GB in this phone but it is all in /data.

I actually already have my next dev phone.... I have a GNex running the Ubuntu Phone OS, and I have been working with several devs to get the core apps package done, as well some special goodies that I working on in secret for launch day.

I still have the SGS3, but there are so many roms and official CM for it, that when I first got it, started working on the official CM builds, but since then went auto build, there is no need now. The GNex is the ONLY phone right now that will run the Ubuntu Phone OS. If you wait a month or so when they release it out into the wild for the GNex users, I know that it will be made available to other phones that are 100% unlocked like the SGS3 and the Nexus 4, but that is just speculation at the moment.
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
Any good news?

Not rushing things here but any good news on this ROM? :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Be patient my friend... Trust me once Jim makes a breakthrough he'll let you guys know :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] :
Good to see you making a appearance. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Creeepy:
If you still need testers outside US, Russia will help :) May I, please? Phone is rooted, american AT&T, 4.0.4, localized for russian...
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
:D

Anything new happening on here :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] duchski:
Can't hold my breath any longer.... How are you doing guys?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I have it booting now, but I am having some major issues like no wifi/signal, and bluetooth is spotty and there are some issues with other needed parts. As usual this is going to take time, since this was for the ME865 and the hardware differences with the AT&T model.

Take a breath, because it is not going to be in next few days. A week maybe, more before I will have another test ready.
[Motorola Atrix 2] daavvis:
Pm me if you need any help this weekend... Got 3 days left of vaca ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I will be on irc as usual, if you want to pop in, we can discuss and I can show you some fun things... :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] daavvis:
Nice I'll c u there ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] kyolic:
Any hopeful progress Jim?
[Motorola Atrix 2] shardul.phatak:
Stop being impatient !!!! ...... Jim will let us know when he is done ! .... and that includes everything mate

he have much more other developments to do & still developing for A2 without possessing it now (he sold it)

even i'm eager to have JB on my fone (i'm literally checking forum after every 1/2 Hr.)

no offence intended .... :good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] :
Jim you can let another tester have at this in my place. I'm having issues with my A2 and it's going back to att for good. They let me exchange for a lg optimus g so my days here in the A2 community are coming to a end. Thanks all.
[Motorola Atrix 2] A2Trip:
Always willing to help Jim. Can test all and provide log cats. Send me a PM :thumbup:
[Motorola Atrix 2] kyolic:
Chill dude I just wanted to know about the progress! Ain't asking for a release date or anything!
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Good luck tmease! Have fun with the optimus g!
[Motorola Atrix 2] :
Thank you and I will. I'm looking forward to having a phone that isn't so locked down. The A2 is a hell of a good phone, its just been too frustrating for me at times. I have the chance to change without having to upgrade so I'd be a fool not to do it. Thanks again to the community. This has been the best one that I've been apart of yet.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Some sad news

Well, guys I have some not so great news about the JB leak on the AT&T device.

I have tried every way I can to make this thing work, and to no avail. I have gotten it to boot, but no signal (even when flashing the AT&T ICS radio.img file again in fastboot), and no bluetooth, and no wifi. I have been able to get a very unstable wifi connection by putting the ICS wifi drivers and files into the zip, but I am not able to do that with the bluetooth.

So... I do not have much hope that I can get this to work. My time for messing with this is running out. I am about done with my current contract at att (where I get to work from home), and I am trying to focus on the unbuntu phone OS.

This means that, if I can not get this working by this weekend, that I am going to call off this attempt and call this a good shot.

I will keep everyone posted most likely early next week.
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
Either way we appreciate your time and work here jim! :good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Baffled

Hi Jim,

A bit off topic & hope Mod's can put up with one such post :fingers-crossed:

It's only of late that I saw in one post of yours that you've worked with Linus, I mean I always figured out your senior most level of experience based on your posts but this is 'bow down' stuff & more so due to the fact of your most down to earth & ever helpful nature especially even when handling downright dis-repectful noobs & the lazy ones :D. Big thanks to you once again.

Since this is my first ever android phone & I later got initiated to XDA, in future I'll obviously make sure to check XDA before making a new phone purchase (Xperia Z seems awesome) more so because of the stubborn locked bootloader of our phone. What baffles me is (& not being scornful or judgmental) that what makes this bootloader so crack proof? (I don't need a technical explanation but) I mean we have seen in movies of the FBI slamming the door & barging inside with guns pointed to a 14 year old kid hacking the Pentagon comps (or maybe it just purely fantasy) but my point is all the collective efforts of all you senior developers, or of reverse engineering or as a last resort getting inside info from a Moto core IT team member itself (I'm just saying things) - is this phone boot loader so damn hardcore that it cannot be cracked by anyone everr?

I saw Ubuntu & I think it's gonna rock & like how? What really made me feel the best was the Atrix 2 being used for the demo of Webtop (the first iteration by a Android phone of Ubuntu) by the Canonical Chief, so yeahh this phone has to be always special!! I am just hoping there's something on the "Ubuntu for Android' front (2012 was supposed to be it..)Cheers & hope to catch you soon in a related forum!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yes the bootloader is signed with a 512/1024 bit cypher/signature. The bootloader issue is also a combo of a hardware and software issue (the efuses are what brick the phone and they are hardware) and you have an efuse that is set to show the device as locked. Unless someone figures out how to flip the efuse and break the signature and do a root kit, then you might be able to do it.

It is not impossible, just improbable.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Just reading this sentence alone gives me a strange sense of peace :):good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I mean this phone has done very well, for being so locked down. The thing is that you will NEED to get someone from moto to leak the signature or something, to get this done. If you notice phones like the boinic, razr, and atrix HD are all still locked, and the atrix HD is locked worse than this phone, so it could be worse.

I say enjoy what can be done, and don't worry about what may never come, then get a phone that is or can be unlocked for your next phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] smgulsby:
Jim

Thank you for your contributions to the community. You've done your best and that's all we could have hoped for.

I wish you well with the Unbuntu phone, they are lucky to have you as part of their team.

Steve
[Motorola Atrix 2] duchski:
Jim,

Than you so much for your efforts, greatly appreciate them.

If you don't succeed can you post all related files so someone else could pick up where you left off?

Again, thank you so much.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
That's the thing, this will not work on the AT&T phones, and there is no way, so unless someone knows something that I don't about how to convert the AT&T hardware to match the ME865 and the international MB865, then this will not fly and it will be a total waste of anyones time to even try.This is why Motorola is giving people in the US 100 bux toward another moto phone, because they know this will not work on the the US AT&T phones, and why they ONLY are making the JB update for those who have an international or HK/TW phone.

The thing is that if anyone wants to try port this go right ahead, but you will need someone who knows how to port from one model to another with a locked bootloader. I am not giving my files out, because if used in the wrong way, it WILL brick phones, and I am not going through that again.

Any Dev who wants to try knows how to contact me, and we can discuss offline, not here in public.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Electrify M & Razr i got JB 4.1 update in US
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Take another look that the list for which phones qualify for that 100 dollar "upgrade" toward another moto phone... those phones you mentioned are not listed for the 100 dollars toward an upgrade if JB does not come to those phones, there are reasons why moto does these things.

Here is the list again, just so everone understands moto's logic here:

http://www.motorola.com/blog/2012/1...-smartphone-and-you-may-qualify-for-100-back/

Again, that is only in the US, so those outside the us will see some form of JB from what the people inside the carriers and moto seem to be saying.

They want to push people to phones that are more locked down (like the atrix to the atrix2, and the atrix2 to the atrix HD), and moto can do this by releasing updates to the rest of the world knowing that they can not be ported to the US phones, so that they almost HAVE to update to a more locked down moto phone if they want their 100 bux... so I say f moto and why the atrix2 was my last moto phone/device, unless google takes them on the ropes and forces some nexus like unlock features on furture moto products.

For now I am only sticking with Sammy devices for the LTE abilities they have and the nexus devices for my dev phones.

Well guys this was a nice try and it did not work as planned, but that seems to happen more often than not in here, since moto sux so badly.

Until my next, hack..... later...

I am not gone yet, so....

I have a few more things for the A2 community in the future, just taking a break while I get some great Ubuntu stuff out there.
[Motorola Atrix 2] A2Trip:
Thanks for your great efforts Jim, very much appreciated and look forward to anything you bring us in the future. Good luck and have fun with Ubuntu! Wish I was! :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] duchski:
I am afraid Jim that both Atrix and Atrix 2 became casualties in the silent war between Verizon and AT&T - not coincidentally the phones you can exchange our GSM AT&T Atrix phones are all CDMA Verizon phones. Motorola seems to have aligned itself with Verizon and since the Verizon / AT&T war is strictly stateside, Motorola will allow upgrading foreign market phones while they won't allow upgrading the US phones: they want us to pick up new Motorola CDMA phones locked to Verizon's network...

Anyways I know you spent a lots of time on porting this Chinese firmware to at&t phones so I just don't want to see it go to waste altogether.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Well actually you can get an atrix HD that is gsm, for the exchange. The atrix and atrix2 were both unfortunately short lived casualties in AT&Ts line up, with little support from the carrier and moto. It is sad because the hardware was kick azz on both phones.
[Motorola Atrix 2] duchski:
Atrix HD is almost at the end of its shelf life at AT&T with no replacement in sight as Motorola seems to be focused on CDMA market exclusively. Hint, hint.

Yeah, both Atrixes were great, I had both and while I loved Atrix 4G capabilities and the incredible dev support here on xda I couldn't wait for decent ICS ROM any longer and jumped to Atrix 2. After all they both support webtop/lapdock which is a cutting edge feature in my opinion and ATRIX 4G being wide open could be a great candidate for an Ubuntu phone...
[Motorola Atrix 2] duchski:
jim,

No news from you, does that mean that your efforts were unsuccessful?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
just an idea I came across elsewhere (in razr dev forum, by whirleys), erasing cid lets you flash firmware of any region..

any one who is willing to experiment might try this

In no way can I guarantee that it will work. It may brick your device and I am, in no way responsible for it.

There are two ways

First,

1) make a backup of cid (this is phone specific. just like imei num so make sure you make a backup for sure.)

use directdump. (dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p18 of=/mnt/sdcard/cid.img)

2) now put it in ap mode.

do

fastboot flash mbm allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cid
fastboot reboot-bootloader

3) now flash from fxz files wang posted.. dont flash cdt.bin..

4) once done, pull out you battery, put it back in, power on holding vol up+down, select bp tools.

Alternatively, (use bmm)

on rooted ics, download and install the latest bmm from play store.

1) boot into recovery, select firmware flashing, select backup cid.img

2) now erase cid.

3) flash the jb boot image (file will be uploaded if a good response is recieved)

4) restore the jb backup. (same as above)

5) bmm has a pattern prebuilt so you dont have to use bp tools each boot.

NOTE: whirleyes says firmware flashing is hard coded only for razr so might mess up your device. I have tried all options in firmware flashing and didnt have any issue, but that dosent mean it will be the same with you.

If anyone is willing to experiment and take risk, let me know and I will upload the boot.img and the backup. sorry I dont have unlimited internet so I cant waste it..

Also, as my requirement and goal is same as the one here, I am posting it here. Didnt want to start a new thread. So Mr.Jim, if you dont want this here, let me know and I will get this post removed and make a new thread in the forum.

And if this works, I will put up a detailed guide in a new thread.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
The issue, is that once you do this with an AT&T phone, you will not be able to flash back the AT&T firmware, and are stuck with whatever version you do flash. The second issue will be connecting to the AT&T network with a CID that is not known to them. The third thing, is that sometimes even restoring the CID back does not always fix the issue.

This is a very dangerous thing, if you are truly an AT&T customer.

If not, and you are in another country and just have the AT&T branded phone, then it is worth a shot, I have seen others in the china forms do this with success, and run the TW/HK firmware with out issue, as well as the international versions of the firmware. I have also done this on many an HTC phone, back before bootloader locking became fashion.

Just be warned if not done right, you can have signal issues, and possibly even brick, or worse have no signal and no wifi. Just keep in mind that there are some differences in the hardware of an ME and MB phone, so think about these things carefully before handing this off to everyone. I would open a new thread and ask for some testers maybe 1 person in the US that has the A2 on at&t as a backup phone, and 1 or 2 international users who have an AT&T branded phone, and another one or two in the TW/HK area of the world to test this theory, all of the phones should be AT&T branded though.

When asking for testers do NOT put the instructions in the thread, PM the people who volunteer, with the exact instructions, because again, not everyone is smart enough to know what they might be getting into, and end up with out a working phone, and why we do not just post these things with out asking for volunteers to check it out first, before making a formal post with exact instructions.

Just so that everone knows the CID holds the carrier string and caller region IDs
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
A small doubt, it's mentioned - "Just keep in mind that there are some differences in the hardware of an ME and MB phone",

now that non AT&T owners who originally purchased MB have now been converted to ME after flashing the JB 4.1.2 China leak 1 & 2, what does that actually signify?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
That you are more likely to see some radio and WiFi issues due to driver differences. You have actually not been converted to an ME device, just running the ME firmware, and you can change what the phone is seen as in the build.prop, but the driver issues will remain. I have seen people posting issues about radio and WiFi in the jb threads.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Lifehacker7:
Ur right. There is this "network disconnecting automatically " issue on JB leak. May be that's because of what you said!

And again you are soooo knowledgeable person! We love you for your support.

A big thank you! :D

DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS!

KEEP SLEEPING. :P
[Motorola Atrix 2] shardul.phatak:
i'm ready for this .... :cowboy:

since i'm outside USA ... i have NO relation with ATT

That could HURT ..... but still i'll give a shot (i can replace Motherboard with indian version)

count me IN

so in short ..... whatever your plans are COUNT ME IN .... PM me anytime ;) :good:

oh 1 more thing JIM ...... you are THE MAN ..... thank you for your wonderful efforts :fingers-crossed: :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Light_Soul:
I`m outside US too, and have AT&T phone. May be better to flash my phone to the international version
[Motorola Atrix 2] Creeepy:
It's impossible. Hardware difference makes it impossible. Don't even try. It's so sad :(

Можно даже не пытаться, несколько постов выше писали о том, что ничего не получается.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RoadToNever:
Can be ruled out yet. A method is posted in the previous page but right now its untested and potentially "dangerous".
[Motorola Atrix 2] jattkhalsa:
Anyone try this yet

Normally I would be willing to try this out as I have ATT version and I am outside US but am no longer in warranty so don't want to take the risk. Wondering if anybody else took a chance yet.
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
This would of been pretty kool to try, But im waiting patiently on jim cm10.1 :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] mv2inas:
Succesfull try of loading JB

People,

I Have ATT atrix 2 not living is the US.

I back-up the CID, fxz the JB rom it started up, all worked except the camera (it crashed at start-up). Also rooted the rom.

Because of the not working camera and the manually startup through BP tool (CostumerID error, can be fixed with BMM from whirleys), i fxz back to ICS ATT (CID i put back with DD).

!!!Remark: the adres for the CID is not /dev/block/mmcblk1p18 but /dev/block/mmcblk1p19.

If somebody can fix the camera i will try the rom again
[Motorola Atrix 2] duchski:
Great job!!!

Could you try the JB Camera from the app store or the generic JB camera available in the development forum for quite some time?

From my experience Moto's camera apps are terrible and slow, even my ICS is sporting a generic ICS camera app instead...
[Motorola Atrix 2] mv2inas:
I tried jb camera, ics camera and lg camera all didnt work. Get the same error "cannot connect camera". I think i has something to do with the driver and/or dynamic link.
[Motorola Atrix 2] duchski:
I am afraid you are right.... Still, "Chinese" JB working on AT&T phone is a great news!!!

JIm, have you seen this?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yes, but it still has the same issues we saw when I got it to boot... Just getting it to boot is the least of the issues. Now the people that are on ATT and do this will remove their CID to get it to flash..

It is not the best option to run jb. There are better options for ATT users in the dev section, such as cm, PA, etc.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
Hey Jim gld to see you still around these parts hope you are enjoying Ubuntu touch..... Looks like the new porting guide is out and we might be in luck for a port?????
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Probably not a port of Ubuntu. You really need an unlocked bootloader, and can easily replace the boot images with their modified ones.

Now that other thing I have cooking on the back burner, just might see the light of day soon.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
I know this is not the thread to discuss things but is Ubuntu touch just layered on the base Cm from what I understand.....
[Motorola Atrix 2] daavvis:
Sure is.... a few of us are porting it for my gtab2 and its about 430 megs of Ubuntu and a wad of about 175 megs of devise specifics from cm10.1...

Got it to boot bit its foobared after that... Only the power button works... Lol
[Motorola Atrix 2] smgulsby:
What.....
