The percentage is the signal strength. All testing was done with the phone not moving and in the same spot. There's also a thunderstorm going on right now and during the testing.

The first thing you'll notice is that none of the ICS modems have a complete readout, and nothing for the updated AT&T one. There are a few probable causes - 1) We're using a non Atrix HD RIL that doesn't like our ICS modems so we need to use our RIL; 2) ICS modems are not compatible with the JB RIL; 3) An ICS RIL is needed for ICS modems. More testing is required to find out more and what the actual problem is.

There are 4 commands to flash the modem

moto-fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
moto-fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
moto-fastboot erase modemst1
moto-fastboot erase modemst2

I'm wondering if using the fsg.mbn for a JB modem would make ICS modems work. I'm basing that on that some other Moto phones are able to use their proper basebands with other carriers' roms after flashing their stock msg.mbn with another carriers' modem. It'll be part of that more testing.

The worst part of this is I found out that using an ICS modem is the cause of not being able to change network modes properly. The second I booted up with a JB modem all the network preference settings worked.....which really pisses me off and depresses me because it possibly means I all the crap I've done the past couple of days was all for nothing.

I forgot to get the baseband names/version from Settings>About Phone>Baseband Version....

Sometimes after flashing a modem you'll have to wait for it to boot up then reboot the phone for it to be recognized.

My Kaspersky Pure deleted the file saying its a trojan :(
[Motorola Atrix HD] devilsking:
Can you tell me which file causes that? I'm sure 100% that this tools is safe :)
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
Its the actual exe file. Mine did the same thing, had to disable kaspersky. No issue with 1.2 though
[Motorola Atrix HD] devilsking:
The launcher exe file? Or which one?

Can you clarify?. Thank you.
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
MythTools_Launcher.exe on 1.3 is the one that is being scanned and seen as a trojan by kaspersky products, possibly other antivirus products as well.
[Motorola Atrix HD] devilsking:
hmm. It's weird because the main purpose of that exe file is calling main-skip.bat :confused: I dont see any prob here :(
[Motorola Atrix HD] swapnil0545:
Yea the exe was detected as Trojan and deleted but the bats were still there and accessible.
[Motorola Atrix HD] jaweinre:
Are the quick reboot options working?

You selected:d

[*]

[*] Waiting for device...

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

And it just stays there. Ofcourse im in fastboot mode connected through USB.

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

Gets stuck at 40% when trying to flash mex retail. skeevydude's fastboots work ok tho.

Can't get the quick reboot options to work either.
[Motorola Atrix HD] devilsking:
Quick reboot only works when you're at fastboot but doing nothing (it doesnt have effect to reboot if you're in process of flashing) or at normal screen.

On android 4.2 or higher, as I remember when you interact by adb command (which the myth tool use), it will ask for permission on your phone when you are in normal state. Remember to allow it if not, this cannot be performed.

If you're using 4.1 and still meet this prob, you should check your driver and connection between phone and computer. In the case that you're in fastboot mode and you select D (reboot to recovery), it absolutely cannot work because adb command has no effect in this mode.

For your stuck at 40%, can you clarify for me what did it say? 40% of process is about flashing boot image. sometimes, it takes longer than usual.

I'm looking for your respond. Hope I can help you with answers above. If the tool has problem, I will try to fix it as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Dk
[Motorola Atrix HD] jaweinre:
Thanks. I was in fastboot mode and none of the quick reboot commands worked.

Ended up using batakang fastboot as usual and flashed mex retail with no problems. (That's what i usually use, this was first time trying the mythtools for flashing), does the mythtools use the same fastboots i asume?

Anyways, i'm currently on CM11 M5 snapshot. Will try mythtools for the next round of flashing and will report back with any news. Thanks for your work!
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
I just used the lastest version of Myth to flash my Bell AHD with MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA.xml.zip and everything went went. My phone rebooted, spend a lot of time with the red Motorola symbol, then the screen went blank and stayed that way.

During the flash process, it went from 10/100 Completed to 100/100 Completed.

When I hold the power, vol + and vol -, I get a dead Android on its back with nothing else on the screen.

Any information to help me get it phone working would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
What rom were you running before you flashed stock ATT?
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
I believe it was Validus v 5.1 which is based on 4.4.2. The phone was with a friend of mine.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
The fix is simple. Boot into Philz, format the internal sd, set the internal sd mount point to /data/media, reboot, format it again, and done. I'm assuming you don't keep anything important on the internal sd...

The issue is multiuser support in 4.2+ roms screws with our 4.1 stock roms. 4.2+ uses /data/media/0 for the main user's "internal sd" then /data/media/1 then /data/media/2 and so on and so forth for each additional user. You don't have to format, but if you were on Carbon, only changed the mount point, flashed to stock, then later down the line you install CM or Slim, your crap from Carbon will still be there under /data/media/0 and could cause issues with the newer rom.

EDIT:

A format of /data might fix this too, but you'll still have to check and/or change the mount point. The internal sd is stored on /data.

On that note, would anyone be interested in mounting the external sd as /data? Not an internal/external swap, but the whole /data being on the external sd. With the RAZR HD reporting that the Lapdock works with KitKat, I've been thinking about doing a custom rom that comes with working Linux and X11. The base Linux install will be around 4gb and for it to launch and run somewhat decently, the 6-8GB the internal sd and /data take up seems like a good place to install it all to if all the pesky Android apps and data weren't stashed there. Apps would load slower, but we'd essentially be using /data as the webtop partition. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas.
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
Thanks for your reply. I'll try your method if I experience this issue again.

To fix the problem, I decided to restore Valudis from a cwm backup I made in early May/14. First, I flashed cwm 6.0.4.4 via fastboot, booted into Recovery, and restore the Valudus backup which resulted in a bootloop, even after wiping cache, data, and Dalvik. I then restored a cwm backup of a stock 4.1.2 Bell ROM which allowed the phone to boot. Honestly, I just wanted any ROM on the phone that would allow me to charge it as I didn't want the phone to run out of juice.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
If you have to, let it die. Once it's fully drained you can plug it into a wall charger and it'll charge to 100% without booting up or powering on.

But, like I said above, ya gotta format and change the mount point when downgrading, even when flashing stock fxz's. The only way around that is restoring a nandroid.
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
Thanks for your help. I finally got it to work and my phone took the OTA update.
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
Hi,

I just got another Bell Canada AHD. It was running a completely stock Bell 4.1.2 ROM. I unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM Touch 6.0.4.4. I then made a nandroid backup of the ROM and used Myth to install a stock ATT 4.1.1 ROM. The phone boots up without a problem except recovery seems to be a problem. When I boot into recovery, all I see is the dead Android, nothing else. I have used Myth to flash a stock Bell 4.1.2, Mex Retail, and ATT 4.1.1 but always wind up with the dead Android which causes the ATT OTA update to fail. I tried using fastboot to flash a stock recovery img file from the ATT zip and still no luck.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Edit: Used RSD lite to restore a stock ATT 4.1.1 ROM and the OTA update installed without a problem.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Reading threads the past few days tells me that Myth might not be the best thing to use to flash back to stock to take the 98.5 OTA.

//had a dream last night that I took the KitKat OTA (seriously)
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
Myth worked fine on my other AHD after a few tries. With this second AHD, it would flash the ROM correctly but not the stock recovery.
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
I flashed my Bell AHD to a stock ATT 4.1.1, took the OTA update, and flashed back to a custom ROM.

If I want to take the KK update, should I reflash my AHD with a stock ATT firmware from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=7

I tried using the zip file I originally used to flash my AHD from stock Bell to stock ATT but I am getting an error in RSD where 1/23 failed because of a gpt error.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
I was told that one has to root before unlocking boatloader. I'm running a android 4.1.1...98.35..would this exploit work for me?
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
OK. I wanna root and unlock boatloader so I can flash Roms. Plz tell me the order to do so? Root then unlock boatloader?
[Motorola Atrix HD] devilsking:
Root it first then you can be able to unlock bootloader. :) Next is happy modding ;) Good luck bro!
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
Thanks. Do u think rooting it might solve my vibe issue??
[Motorola Atrix HD] chrisb906:
Does this really downgrade device to ICS?
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
OK. I'm on 4.1.1..att. Exactly how should I use this myth tools? I'm confused
[Motorola Atrix HD] quasihellfish:
What are you trying to do with it, and what do you want to use it for?

This will help figure out what you need help with.

i.e. are you just trying to root? Unlock bootloader? Flash to stock?
[Motorola Atrix HD] chrisb906:
Root and unlock. Tecknofreek helped me out ..thx for your reply though
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
Are kit Kat Roms needing a special recovery? I know with the HTC s one will need a modded twrp or cwm

---------- Post added at 12:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

Can we flash twrp via fast boot in lieu of using the tool kit?
[Motorola Atrix HD] devilsking:
Flashing KK roms just needs cwm recovery :P you also can you philZ Touch, it's also based on CWM.

Flashing TWRP has same procedure as flashing CWM so it should work by using this tool for installing. But TWRP is just at alpha stage for our AHD so i dont recommend using it. CWM is enough for me and basic users :D
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
Are there any version limitations that you know of? I'm still using Philz Touch 6.19.3 (I think that is the last that was MB886 device specific). Have been unable to determine if that version would work on KK bootloader or if that is even a concern. On the flip side I've heard that some of the newer unified versions of Philz wont allow you to restore older backups.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
OK. Thanks..what about cwm touch? I'm a fan of touch recoveries. But if I need a recovery that's all button control, I will do so.
[Motorola Atrix HD] quasihellfish:
I'm using version 6.43.8 of Philz on my MB886 without issues. I believe that's the latest official version (from here) that works with JBBL.

From version 6.50.x and later is for KKBL. I'm not familiar with any backup issues between versions, but I haven't been paying that close attention.
[Motorola Atrix HD] chrisb906:
So....cwm 6.0.4 flashes kk Roms?
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
Technically CWM 6.0.3.8 can flash KK (see A4G threads), however, its been seen that at least 6.0.4.4 is needed to flash kk to our device.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
Can we flash that via fastboot instead of with myth tools?
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
Did you read the script inside Mythtools that is run to execute flashing recovery?

Just download Mythtools and use it.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
Yes. I read it. And understand it. I just figured I would flash via fastboot. Sometimes hands on for me is more comfortable. Lol. I am familiar with flashing and modding etc...I just specialized in HTC devices. Thanks
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
Thanks. Knowing that Philz 6.43.8 works on jbbl is reassuring.

BTW in re your sig. I'm now on CM nightly 9/7, but have been a handful of nightlys that have been so smooth and stable (or introduced a nifty new feature) that I remember them and that 8/18/14 build was one of them!
[Motorola Atrix HD] devilsking:
I'm on the same build :D Worked great.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
Could I put a diff recovery in this folder to flash other than version 6.0.2.8.. Or even a diff recovery ?
[Motorola Atrix HD] devilsking:
I did put option to flash custom recovery in Myth Tools. Check it in menu. :)
[Motorola Atrix HD] quasihellfish:
Yeah, it was great for a while. But it's been starting to slow lately (possibly because I encrypted my phone this time), and it's due for a refresh. Was waiting for a stable nightly or Milestone to make it worthwile.. and some free time.
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
Have never played with encryption on droids but remember from my desktop support days (LOL it was actual decades not days) there was a bit of resource overhead required in disk access time and processing. Not sure if the same applies here. As for upcoming stable releases; CM M10 should be out next week. Also AOSB 1.37 (now on unified 8960) dropped today - and is presently being installed and tested on my AHD.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
I was thinking that before rooting and unlocking boot loader I should factory reset my stock. I hear its best to clear all cache and start anew..is this accurate?
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
I really want to root tonite but some clarity would help. Lol. :-$
[Motorola Atrix HD] chrisb906:
i tried flashing recovery via tool, and manually through fastboot, but i still get the dead android...ugh...

[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
How do we get rid of the boot loader boot animation off?
[Motorola Atrix HD] chrisb906:
Ok ran the script...how do we get rid of the bootloader unlock on boot?
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
By using Mythtools v1.3 and flashing the logo.bin file
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
OK. Thanks very much
[Motorola Atrix HD] chrisb906:
There are two bins..do I enter option 8 and flash one of those?
[Motorola Atrix HD] chrisb906:
What exactly is option 8 for?
[Motorola Atrix HD] chrisb906:
By what cmd... fast boot flash boot logo.bin?

Edit...got it fixed
[Motorola Atrix HD] chrisb906:
I tried the stock ROM flash too...but before it flashed it said that it couldn't run...but yet underneath it,it looked as if it was flashing...then nothing...I closed the window and rebooted..nothing was changed. I wonder why it wasn't successful. Oh well,no harm,no foul. But does anyone know why this happened?
[Motorola Atrix HD] quasihellfish:
Which stock ROM were you trying to flash? Where did you get it, and did you put it in the right folder? Sorry, but I have to ask.
[Motorola Atrix HD] chrisb906:
Got it from sbf site and placed in firmware folder

[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
In the past I tried to return phone to stock. I put the sbf file in the firmware folder and followed instructions,but it didn't work. Has that ever been an issue with myth tools? Atrix HD att, mb886
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
I also hear that if you do this, the atrix will not be able to be rooted again.
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
I've flashed stock and been able to restore root all using Mythtools 1.3. There also may be another way to root described earlier in this thread.

There are also tip for restoring root in the thread from when the heartbleed patch came out. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2751263
[Motorola Atrix HD] devilsking:
As I remembered, ahd's firmware is in zip type. You should check again.
[Motorola Atrix HD] chrisb906:
one can always flash a diff recovery. this is just standard with the tool

---------- Post added at 06:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 AM ----------

if i remember correctly, we should unlock boot loader then root, then recovry?
[Motorola Atrix HD] devilsking:
You only can unlock bootloader after rooting so procedure is :

root > unlock bl > flash custom recovery > flash new rom/fw (if you want) > root (if has new rom/fw which hasnt included pre-root function)
[Motorola Atrix HD] jimmyhauser:
Beware these links, virus/malware present. Not only that, themythteam.com website forwards to a very shady website.
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
Beware no they are not. Your antivirus program doesn't like the code inside of these programs. Its racist against bootloader unlocking programs.

Wtf is this themythteam.com website? False advertising for Mythtool. Have you contacted the OP to find out about the site he doesn't even promote?
[Motorola Atrix HD] jimmyhauser:
umm, AT LEAST ONE OF THEM DOES. I just spent two hours reinstalling windows because a fake myth tools installer put a program called EZ Downloader on my computer, which then hijacked my browsers. My antivirus didn't flag anything. Not the real unlocking tools, or the malware that got installed (because by the time I realized the myth tools installer was fake, it was too late)

WTF is themythteam.com? Once I got the real myth tools downloaded, there was a link to that website right in the readme/faq that came with the tools. I reported the post to the mods. I have done my due diligence. You should do yours before you call someone a liar.
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
Sounds to me like someone put up a fake website to catch traffic meant for a popular but no longer developed item, or got hold of the old canceled site its self. Also, that hosting site was never great and has lately been overrun with intrusive stuff. In any event, if you want particular version of Mythtools you might have to ask around for someone who can post it (to a better sharing site).

CORRECTION I just tested both the Google and Dev Host links to v1.3 and successfully downloaded from both and compared to my existing Mythtools 1.3

The problem is that DevHost has become a horrible Webhosting site. Some of use have seen this before. The Orange (Top) button will trigger malware or null files pretending to be the desired file. The Blue (bottom) button may download the proper. The color/orientation of the good and bad download buttons may not always be the same. It should be noted that I use a script blocked and cookie restricted browser to stay safe while doing this. It is definitely not the fault of the Mythtools folks that Devhost has sunk so low. That said, thanks for calling it out.

BTW: As a last resort before reinstalling windows you can try running BitDefender from a bootable USB or

CD drive. This takes some tech geekery to set up cans save an infected PC.
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
Thanks for that, i basically was going to hit off on the same points you just did
[Motorola Atrix HD] jimmyhauser:
I'd rather spend a couple hours reinstalling windows then nearly.as much time cleaning malware out of the registry. Plus I get a clean install.
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
But the question still remains. If you used the DevHost link, which it sounds like you did, it clearly states that the file you would be downloading would be a *.zip file. Why, after reading the download dialog box that pops up during a download, did you not stop when you saw that the file that you did actually download, was an *.exe file? A zip and an exe are two different things.
[Motorola Atrix HD] jimmyhauser:
Downloading and running the .exe from devhost was my bad. Fine. You guys want to leave the links in place for the next unsuspecting person to download, be my guest. I am not a fan of leaving open links to malware, but this is not my site.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:

[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
DevHost has been around for at least (from my experience) since 2011, probably earlier. The site may have gotten a graphical design update, but its the same now as it was then. What you experienced is normal. So the complaint you initially posted needs to be taken up with DevHost, not us or the OP. The OP did also post a GDrive link, which ppl tend to use GDrive more and more, or other sites such as Mega.
[Motorola Atrix HD] jimmyhauser:
This is what I get for trying to be helpful. Ignorant responses from immature people.

I did read. Downloading an exe which may very well be a self extractor in place of a zip is not unheard of. Nor is getting malware from a file hosting site. Shame on me for falling victim to it. Shame on you for not seeming to give a F about it.

Like most other forums I have frequented over the years, which have joined the Internet culture of adolescent behavior and zero accountability, this one seems no different. I see far more name calling, complaining, and entitlement than actual useful info here. Disappointing.
