I'll be straight up with you, I could make PA for us but it wouldn't be the latest version. It would be 2.5.3 just like the Defy -- AOSPA (PA 3.0+) won't be possible until we're able to get AOSP to compile from source (the SourceForge crap). It would be based on Epinter's CM10, have the same bugs as CM10...basically I'd be making PA for another device then porting that over for us :p. It would probably take me 6-12 hours to do all the source merging, another 2 to compile, and a day to test then upload. There is no ETA cause I haven't started on anything nor is it on my to do list yet. Times are based on how long it took me to do the Defy merging, compiling, testing.

I'm unsure on the 4.1.2 Bell rom, but the 4.1.2 Mex Retail is worth using instead of stock -- less bloat, no entitlement checks.

I partially agree on the other 4.1 custom roms -- yes, you can do it all yourself, but not everyone can. Also, not everything is compatible, so if you don't know what you're doing and flash a bad, lets say audio tweak, and it doesn't work or loops you, you could be screwed simply by lack of knowledge. That's also why I released the one custom thing I've done as a standalone mod.

Rom cooks do a lot behind the scenes -- I've been working on a rom on and off since I've had my AHD. Only mentioned in here, in a PM, and maybe publicly once or twice. I've been testing various audio tweaks, launchers, scripts, mods....I don't want to give 2-3 week eta posts cause life happens, it might not work when I get to the moment of truth, and something always happens to make any specific eta I give wrong :p. I've been doing tons of testing, looking for something different than the AT&T stock base or RAZR port base(see this thread :silly:), tons of apk decompiling (every 4.1.2 Atrix HD apk so far), and have been adding French\Canadian English to the MR base (25 apps in). Other than that, all I know is its gonna be PlayStation Certified (already have PS Store fully working). Can't say more cause I don't know any more than that :cyclops: Point is, other cooks do tons of crap behind the scenes to ensure a good, working environment that you can't get without doing\knowing some ****. If I wasn't trying to do so much I might have had something usable by now -- I've messed with ICS, CM10 porting, SF sources, stock smali mods, my own rom, alternate stock roms.

Luckily, I still have my Defy and Bravo. Quarx is still going strong :cool: and pushing out new CM's, kernels, and everything good. One can only hope that we'll have even a quarter of the roms the Defy has. I'm so glad my first Android phone was a Defy clone. I've learned a lot because of it.
[Motorola Atrix HD] swapnil0545:
Looking forward for your custom rom skeevy :thumbup:
[Motorola Atrix HD] freshlycutlawn:
Going to test out the Bell ROM and will report results later tonight or tomorrow. Thanks so much for the upload and the work youve done so far!
[Motorola Atrix HD] freshlycutlawn:
I'm trying to boot into the Bell ROM and am currently stuck at a bootloop when the boot image says "Android" not sure what to do to correct this problem, I have the zip file install in ROM Slot 1 with 2GB partition size

Edit: Tried again with 1GB size also just to see if there was any difference, the error im getting has to do with the md5 of the ROM, when i enable both checks it automatically fails, however if i bypass them and continue to flash the ROM it gets stuck in a bootloop as mentioned before
[Motorola Atrix HD] huatz84:
Thanks a lot for your hard work,skeevy. I had a Defy green lense two years ago and sold it a year ago. Luckily,I still can enjoy modding it coz my friend still got it. It's a beast phone with all those mods by you,quarx,epsilon and maniac103. With the lack of official updates and locked bootloader,Defy can do all the impossible things. I've even seen the newest 3.x kernel with CM10.1. You guys have done a great job. Let's hope Atrix HD got the same treatment. :)
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Try replacing kernel modules with the stock AT&T ones. After that I'd be guessing and would need to see a logcat if possible. That's for Bell JB, btw. Not sure what to do with any of the ICS roms at the moment.

@huatz84

If we only had Quarx, Epsylon, and Maniac103....man, AHD development would really kick off. Those 3 get **** done. I mean, they only had JB running on a Froyo kernel with Froyo\GB hybrid drivers and only 317mb of /system space to work with.
[Motorola Atrix HD] freshlycutlawn:
I will try that tonight when I get a chance and let you know how it works. The only thing im wondering is that since my device currently with bell is only on 4.0.4 that the kernel with jellybean roms wont work because I dont have the right kernel to go with the JB rom
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Did not know that...could also be an init script issue then. Ignore the first suggestion, I assumed you were an AT&T JB user, use the Bell ICS modules instead.
[Motorola Atrix HD] huatz84:
Yeah..they are amazing. With the tiny system space,they can build a stable JB rom with Froyo kernel. They've made impossible things.

Btw,I just saw that Moto includes Razr HD and Razr M to their unlocked bootloader program. Hopefully,They add Atrix HD soon. :)
[Motorola Atrix HD] freshlycutlawn:
I'm going to try to flash the Bell ICS file and see how that goes and if it triggers an OTA update, if theres anything I can do to help with the development of these ROMs please let me know, I have access to a Bell Atrix HD with an unlocked bootloader so id like to do all I can

Edit: Tried the 4.0.4 Bell ROM just now and I'm getting the same error while trying to flash

--Verify md5 for /external_sd/404-115-bell.zip

-- No md5 file found!

If I uncheck the boxes to verify the md5 I can successfully flash the zip but it still gets stuck in the bootloop like the JB ROM

EDIT:

Successfully booted into the ICS ROM since I was on 4.0.4 myself and am getting the prompt to update to 4.1.2 now, it looks like when you upgrade to 4.1.2 the kernel becomes incompatable with the older ROM's and vice versa. It looks like once one is on JB there is no going back. The flash worked without me ticking the boxes which doesn't seem to be the problem, only firmware, hopefully this helps and explains why the ICS ROMS begin to instantly bootloop once you try to boot into them since im assuming youve updated at this point. Since I used a 2GB ROM slot I was getting low memory errors so I'm going to remake the slot with 1GB and am going to reflash and try the update and see if the flash for 4.1.2 directly works and if I can boot back into 4.0.4 again.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Me too. Sucks we have an unlockable bootloader that we can't unlock due to Moto not supporting it. Some HD's are unlockable which is the real teaser to the rest of us.

Good to know that. Sucks JB doesn't work for you, but at least we're both able to get to the boot animation and loop it -- we could be stuck at the boot logo. With any luck I'm hoping that we can find the right combination of files to replace to get the roms to boot with the wrong kernels. We at least know its possible since JB kernel can have a working ICS rom for about 3 minutes :p.

Since you have an unlockable bootloader why don't you just flash a jellybean boot.img? Unpack and repack it so its not signed and you shouldn't have any issues. You could probably start using the RAZR HD unlocked bootloader roms and recoveries and never see us again.
[Motorola Atrix HD] progrockguy:
Holy crap... I am running ICS on my JB AHD!!! It's been 10 minutes and no boot loops so far :)

I restored a Safestrap ICS backup, then put some ICS init files in etc/rootfs (I attached my flashable ZIP fix).

Camera doesn't work - same for WIFI but I'm sure it's a simple driver fix.

Also attached are the full ICS init files, in case you want to compare and contrast with JB inits. I omitted qcom inits in my fix.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Well that's awesome. 10 minutes beats what I've been able to do :highfive:

Wifi didn't work with MR either -- I needed AT&T wifi modules (or probably the wifi modules of the stock kernel currently running). -- /system/lib/modules/prima/* & system/lib/modules/config.ko

From what I can tell we have 3 sets of Camera Drivers (2 are ICS drivers, 1 more for JB) -- 115-att & 115-bell are the same\1st one, 144-att is 2nd, & all JB roms are the same\3rd. I'm unsure as to what all libs are necessary for the camera with us other than the obvious /lib/camera*, lib/hw/camera*, and bin/mm-qcamera-daemon. We might need to use the JB camera app as well. Also, the 144-att camera libs have more files than the 115's -- they're similar to the JB ones (1st driver doesn't have /lib/libchromatix_ov8820_hfr_60fps.so, everyone else does).

The biggest difference of the 3 JB roms, from what I can tell, are the kernel modules; libraries and drivers are the same.

I'm being a little optimistic, but hopefully whatever works for ICS on JB kernel will work for CM10 as well; and that we can invert what we're doing to get JB working with the ICS kernel.

I know what I'm doing today.
[Motorola Atrix HD] clockcycle:
then its your network, mine stays, didnt used to initally. made no changes on my end. it switched and stuck suddenly. i am on mx base including radio.
[Motorola Atrix HD] TabascoTX:
So, your using the stock MX Retail? The SBF using RSD/MythTools? Or is there a flashable zip that I missed somewhere?
[Motorola Atrix HD] clockcycle:
Rsd/myth stock flash. Be warned once you go full mX 4.1.2 retail you can't downgrade some parts.
[Motorola Atrix HD] jaweinre:
Which parts? Just curious (maybe this could help with the constant signal loss some of us have on CM).
[Motorola Atrix HD] TabascoTX:
Yeah agreed,could be helpful to know.
[Motorola Atrix HD] progrockguy:
The only parts you need are boot.img and system img to get Mex retail working, and a factory reset of course. I used fastboot, but you could just delete the other lines/commands from the xml file and then use rsd. This also works for ics.

Definitely do not flash nonhlos (radio) or the bootloader stuff. I doubt any of this will improve the cm11 signal restarts though.
[Motorola Atrix HD] jaweinre:
Already tried using mex's modem to no avail.

Ok i'll quit this thread hijack now, thanks.
[Motorola Atrix HD] clockcycle:
yeah boyee

This version still has features not seen in other roms and is one of my favorites.. Although I mix and match the radio, not sure which is better, if any..

Bell's 4.1.2 update lost these unique features, the ability to swipe the main icons was/is nice. Although job is much snappier than ICS..
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
I've been searching around and there actually IS an updated ICS Blur with all the stuff we like on other moto8960 phones. I figure a chop of one of our ICS's with the Photon Q 4G's (IIRC) updated Blur could make a nice rom. I'm just waiting to see how stock KK is with HDMI/Lapdock before I make an ICS rom rom for my Lapdock...good thing I proof read this, there was a "c" where the "d" in Lapdock should be. While I have one of those, I can't flash it with a custom rom....
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
The very first thing flashed with RSD is CDT.bin, or the partition table. It is security locked to the highest version flashed. Since the partition table has never changed it doesn't matter, but you'll go WTF when you try to downgrade and get hit with the security warning....Just need to either skip that partition when flashing manually or remove its line in the fastboot's xml.

EDIT:

It's gpt_main0.bin, not CDT...don't know what I was thinking there...
[Motorola Atrix HD] TabascoTX:
I haven't ever flashed the Bell CA Stock,and I'm gonna say its pretty badass. Ive never seen the "Xbox Support" option before,im gonna try that out. For what ever reason,when I go with anything other than stock based I go from 11-14 mbps download to nothing over 5-6 mbps. Since I use my phone as a hot spot to play on my PS3 & Xbox,i end up going back to a stock rom. Kinda sucks cause there are a lot of good roms out there,but I always have to sacrifice style and cpu speed for DL Speed. Is there any major diff in the Photon Q roms and ours? I'd like to get ahold of a gsm one,I miss a physical keyboard.
[Motorola Atrix HD] TabascoTX:
Hey SkeevyDude, Is your Pac rom in your goo.im page stock based?
[Motorola Atrix HD] quasihellfish:
Sorry if I'm speaking out of turn, but NO, it's not at all "stock based". It's based on a combination of (P)aranoid Android, (A)OKP, and (C)yanogen Mod. I don't think it could be further from Stock. He simply repackages it so it works on our phone.

The only stock-based roms I'm aware of would be those here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2209660

or something from the Holoblur series.
[Motorola Atrix HD] TabascoTX:
Yep, that link is from the first page of this thread..lol..But,all the other Roms on his Goo.IM are stock,and Pac roms now have their own page. So I was just wondering if this particular one that was one that was diff from the other ones posted on the Pac page.

Update Bell HD Atrix from 4.12 to 4.4 ?

Hello, i am a newbie and have bought a Moorola Atrix HD from Canada (BellMobility.en.ca

There is no update available for me in Germany. Has one of you guys a clue as how to flash to Stock 4.4. Android ?

Thanks in advance

Alex
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
The latest version for the Canadian MB886 is 4.1.2.

I recommend you use Myth Tools to unlock the bootloader, install Philz or CWM recovery, root, create a backup of your current ROM, and flash a custom Kit Kat ROM.
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
There is no Motorola stock 4.4 available for AHD. Only custom ROMs are available for 4.4. You flash those via TWRP/CWM
[Motorola Atrix HD] alexche77:
Thank you Buddy!

You are the best!
[Motorola Atrix HD] RagInCajun00:
I have the AT&T variant of the Atrix HD. If I flashed the other .sbfs for the other carriers, such as the Bell or Mexican Nextell stock roms, will I be charged anything like roaming charges since I use AT&T?
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
No you will not be charged roaming. Roaming charges are based on your sim, not the ROM. I ran the ATT stock ROM on my Bell Atrix HD for a week and no extra charges.

You cannot downgrade your existing ROM which means you cannot go from stock JB to stock ICS unless you have an unlocked bootloader.
[Motorola Atrix HD] alexche77:
Any mirrors? GOO.IM server says unathorized client!

[Motorola Atrix HD] ApexPredatorBoids:
Using the latest version of PhilZ recovery, I get "(status 7)" errors whenever I try to flash anything stock. Anyone happen to know where I can download Skeevy's PhilZ 5 .zip?
[Motorola Atrix HD] quasihellfish:
You can't use "the latest" version, because it's only compatible with KitKat bootloaders. The latest version that I know works is 6.43.8, and you can get that from the official spot here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/moto_msm8960/

p.s. and I've never flashed anything stock with it, only Custom ROMs. For stock, I always use MythTools.
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
You can't flash stock ROMs used Philz, you need to use RSDLite.

[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
I have a noob question... what if I just unlocked my boot loader and not rooted it...do u flash ROMs like u do with HTC phones...via fast boot??
[Motorola Atrix HD] Byakko Custom:
Generally you flash back to stock using fastboot/RSDLite...

All you need is an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery to flash custom roms.

[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
Then what use does having root? Cruz I know most ROMs are "prerooted'

Sorry for posting these questions..and also in this thread. I just want to make sure before I mod this device
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
Sometimes, a stock ROM will be more stable than a custom ROM. Having root allows you to remove bloatware and install apps, such as Root Explorer, that need root access.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
So its safe to assume that root and unlocked BL is preferred?
[Motorola Atrix HD] quasihellfish:
Have "root" (or rooting your phone) simply means that you now have full superuser/god powers to change anything about the phone OS that you see fit. Android is based on Linux, and as a stock user, you are really running your phone as a limited user account. The manufacturers/carriers intentionally limit your user access, specifically in that you can't modify anything in the /system folder, etc. Out of the box, this is actually a good thing, because it prevents users from breaking their own system. But the carriers also have their own interest at heart, and don't want you changing things, like enabling WiFi hotspot.

A rooted system only applies to the OS you are currently running, because if you re-flash a different OS, you're back to square one. Custom ROMs almost always come pre-rooted, to save you the hassle.

An unlocked bootloader is what allows you to flash a new ROM, and completely replace the OS that you are currently running.

tl:dr; root allows you to modify the ROM you're running; unlocking the bootloader allows you to install an entirely new ROM.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
Thanks for your reply. I have rooted quite a few htcs in my time...but this device is a Lil different.

[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
I've tried tons of crap to get ICS working. Everything from individual libs, full on port faqs, mixed init scripts, replacing the same JB apps with the ICS versions...I'm only able to pull logs from halfway thru boot till desktop then I lose ADB over USB.

Funny thing is, without using the fixes, I have full 3g (don't know if 4g works or not, no 4g here) and Play can update\install crap until the loops. With the fix, no raido at all but it doesn't loop\crash unless I change to USB Mount (works, btw) and back to MTP (causes a forced reboot).

I'm wondering if we can't just diff some decompiled framework jars and just add USB Mounting to JB (or insert feature here)...I mean, that and the Live Icons are the only thing ICS has over JB from what I can tell. USB mounting has to be supported by the kernel, which our JB kernel obviously does, so we're only being soft-blocked on that feature.

For AT&T users (maybe others), I'm working on a MR based stock rom. It'll be installed by restoring a Nandroid over the stock slot. I'm tired of only using slot 1, for testing and main rom, and my stock rom sucking when I have to use it cause I fubar'd slot 1 :cyclops: Nothing fancy, just MR lightened up. Awesome Beats, init.d, V6 supercharger with patched jar. I'll have it ready tomorrow; Sunday at the latest (everything listed is already done). Gotta Reboot Mod it and gonna take a look into the USB Mount smali idea. I need a stock base that I like so I can use slot 1 for testing exclusively...this is my solution to that problem...or an Atrix HD with 16+gigs of internal memory...either one would work really.:rolleyes:
[Motorola Atrix HD] EcHoFiiVe:
Looking forward, can it be AOSP themed as well? Tried Batakang buy ended up having SMS issues. Also, I will ask around for the ADB issue if you'd like, I know I couple of talented devs
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
If you want to theme it, it can be. I don't really mind the Blur Theme other than a few icons, Phone mainly...That and I'm not much of a themer :p. I might change Gapps & MMS\Contacts to Inverted ones, but that's it on the theme.

ADB could be the insecured adbd I'm using or a driver issue, not sure.

Most of my stock theme issues are really Homescreen issues -- the app drawer area is too big, it really really sucks with alternate dpi's, no changeable grid sizes...if Circles only worked for other lanuchers.
