[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
I'm really not sure and it's hard for me to do that much testing because I have the same weak signal at my home with stock and custom roms. But I'd safely assume it comes from using the "One Rom Fits All" method. It probably doesn't help the the common uses CDMA values by default and we're running a CDMA/GSM global rom when our phone in particular is GSM Only...plus we're using RHD radio libs and what not.

Not that it matters, but step 2 after getting my old AOSP rom updated and compiled was to make a moto_msm8960-gsm device repo, test some of our libs, and set us up like the Q and M with our actual libs if the testing got any where...now that my motherboard is fried, I'm kind of stuck on step 1 until I get my phone fixed or swapped.

Luckily a motherboard fix is really, really easy (for someone used to working with their hands) and only consists of 22 T5 screws and a big piece of double sided sticky tape...costs $50 bucks so it depends if AT&T is gonna charge me for repairs/replacement or not. Gonna use the OTA as my excuse. My phone was bugging me about an update, I took it, and now my phone doesn't work at all.

Has anyone else had random shut downs since taking the OTA? Since taking it, my Mom's AHD that's unrooted, locked, and never had anything custom done on it has shut itself off randomly a few times now. It never did it once before and a factory reset hasn't helped. So we have two AHD's, one that shuts down randomly since the OTA and another that I think was fried from of moisture in the usb charging port (its been raining and really high humidity for days now)....but we'll call that the OTAs fault :p

A zip with stock AT&T...nope don't actually have one of those, but I can make one -- it's not that hard, just gotta convert the image, mount it, and zip it. Luckily I have all the tools on hand to do that. If I can remember where it's at, there's a shell script around here that'll make an updater-script for the contents of a fxz system.img, so I might be able to make it into a flashable zip. I'll try to have one up this evening since it doesn't actually require me to flash crap to my phone (why I haven't made a 98.5 fxz...).
[Motorola Atrix HD] TabascoTX:
Thanks Skeevy, 'Preciate it on the zip. I know my kids AHD was rebooting constantly BEFORE the update. I had a Bell stock rom in it with Philz recovery so it wouldn't take the update. Got them back to stock and it went fine. Havent heard them complain about it yet. I wish Moto would come out with something decent for us on ATT again. It been kinda sad really. The last good Moto Phone for ATT before this phone was the original Razr..lol
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
You only need to use Myth to flash back to stock. Once you have a custom recovery like Philz installed, that's where you'll do all the wipes and rom installs at.

A good rule to follow is to clean wipe when you're switching roms, like CM to Carbon to PAC, and to factory reset when updating from one nightly to the next, like Carbon 05/20 to Carbon 05/23. The reason is to minimize cross rom contamination. Some roms contain scripts that backup and restore certain values and apps stored under /system, if you don't wipe /system before changing roms, you run the risk of, as an example, restoring PAC crap to CyanogenMod or Stock crap to Carbon. Not formatting /system was the cause of many headaches and bugs in 2013.

//We damn near had a /system format "does it matter" debate...but posting the backup/restore scripts ended that real quick and now we all clean wipe.
[Motorola Atrix HD] justanumber:
Thanks man. You have made it very simple for me to understand.

I read somewhere about your AtrixHD dying after plugging in charger. Mine did the same thing about 6 months ago. In my case it was the battery. Damn thing just went bad. New battery installed and like new.

Hope you have a great weekend.

[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
I agree, though the Moto E is only $129, has half the internal storage of the Atrix HD, similar chipset to the G, custom developer support, and a micro sd slot. If it had our classic hdmi/usb setup I'd get it....I just have too many accessories that use that setup to consider getting a phone without them.

Like I said a few posts above, my phone is currently fried and I'd rather repair or replace it with another one than consider getting a new phone.

Maybe we'll get lucky and the new Moto X+1 or Xplay will be the upgrade we're looking for. With the E & G having sdcards, maybe these will too.

---------- Post added at 09:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

I tried that and it was a no go. There are three AHD's in the house so swapping batteries wasn't a big deal.
[Motorola Atrix HD] TabascoTX:
The only thing I saw about the Moto E I didn't like was the lack of a camera led flash. I use my camera a lot because im a Health Inspector. Good Camera is a must. Ive even thought about the Nokia 1020 because of that.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
The two main uses of my phone outside of communication is listening to music and watching Netflix/movies when my computer is busy compiling stuff, so video out and expandable storage that allows me to charge while using it are the two requirements I have in a phone. Ya can't charge and use an OTG drive as far as I know.

I've said this before, but until 64gb processors and 4gb+ ram is the norm for phones, I'll be happy with my Atrix HD. Other than games and console emulation, I really don't see the point of 4/8 core 32bit phones...64bit yes -- probably might even be able to compile a rom on the phone itself with 64bit hardware and lots of ram.

/I don't even look at the camera in regards to getting a phone since most phone cameras suck compared to an actual camera...
[Motorola Atrix HD] TabascoTX:
Yeah agreed, a regular camera is best. Im just against lugging around another electronic device along with my laptop,gps,phone,2way radio, and other crap..lol
[Motorola Atrix HD] Taha Haq:
I just rooted and unlocked the boot loader of my phone but after it I accidentally clicked to install the update and the update unrooted the phone now....

I followed a method posted earlier to root on this thread after update

...

I successfully rooted but now do I have to again unlock my boot loader ? BTW the warning bootloader is unlocked is still showing

Regards
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Nah, once unlocked we should always be unlocked.

---------- Post added at 07:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 AM ----------

I agree and understand, but I like really good pictures and my Atrix HD doesn't cut it for those.

I've always liked those Sony Android phones with the attachable camera accessory. A camera manufacturer who designs a universal OTG camera attachment for cell phones will make a lot of money. Or they could start making Phonebloks.

Is a gps that necessary to lug around when you have a smartphone? There are plenty of offline (doesn't need wifi or 3/4g) gps apps.
[Motorola Atrix HD] djshadowxm81:
I know this isnt the q/a threads. but im still getting a dead android on trying to update. i have 2 atrix's in the house both rooted with motochopper and neither of them will do the this firmware update. they were never unlocked thus never having a alternate rom. so whats the deal with the dead android. I'd like to avoid a factory reset unless i have to.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
....that's stock recovery acting like stock recovery....hit both volume buttons to access the menu and select the option that has update in it....but....
[Motorola Atrix HD] djshadowxm81:
I'm not seeing an option for it. Just bp tools, recovery, factory, ap boot and normal boot. so im lost lol. I dont really like to meddle in the internals of the phone to much anywhere a brick is possible lol.
[Motorola Atrix HD] gameplayerdo2:
thanks for getting back with me. so i basically should just leave it the way it is. however...

how can i stop the annoying pop up of the update notification telling me it downloaded the update and is waiting for me to install now or later?
[Motorola Atrix HD] djshadowxm81:
So let me get this straight. I should just do a factory restore so all of the /system folders, including the app folder with all the at&t bloat ware i got rid of is all to stock then try the update? because i selected recovery from that bootmenu and i got dead android again. As for welding in 6 inches of water good luck with that lol. Must have rained like hell where you are.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Yes. It was the getting rid of the AT&T bloat that's making the updates fail, as well as any extra crap on /system what wasn't supposed to be there or isn't there.

And just ignore what I said about going into stock recovery and trying it from there, at a bare minimum you're gonna have to flash the stock system partition. If you're lucky and it boots up after flashing /system and not factory resetting, don't do a damn thing except taking the OTA.

After you take it you can root the phone again...but I suggest going one step farther and just unlocking the bootloader -- you'll be better off in the long run -- once we get updated to KitKat we won't ever be updated again, so if it sucks, you'll be stuck with an unrootable Atrix HD that will be unable to flash anything except the stock AT&T KitKat fastboot (it doesn't exist yet).

Just so you know, when you get to that triangle screen, that's when you hit the two volume buttons to access the recovery menu.

I'm downhill in a low spot so it doesn't take much rain to flood the area.

Here ya go. Contains stock AT&T JB fastboot /system & kernel. May or may not be flashable...not like I can actually test that right now. If this is used to restore /system to stock before taking the OTA, make sure all the other oddball parititons are from AT&T JB and not another fastboot.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mega_man:
so razr m and rarz hd got offical kk updates and also got kk sources got release. offical 4.4.2 might be very near for the atrix hd ?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Arjomer:
We all hope so.
[Motorola Atrix HD] matiamb:
Android 4.4.3 is out now, so are we getting 4.4.3 or they are going to give us 4.4.2??
[Motorola Atrix HD] russian392:
Hey everyone. Ive been reading this post for like...a week now trying to memorize the steps needed to get this update working and stuff. I like doing my research first and stuff.

So heres what i have.

CWM recovery (not touch and not philz) i think its like version 6.0.0. something . something

Running holoblur at the moment.

so i have a few questions...

Will cwm mess up the update proccess?

By stock ROM do you mean the "batakang rises MB886 v1.0" AT&T rom or is there some other stock at&t rom here?

Other than that i know what needs to be done.

THanks

EDIT: Just tried flashing to stock...not working. Mythtools seems to work really really fast with the flash process and it says its successful and then asks to reboot. It never reboots so i manually turn the phone on and its still on holoblur. it also didnt flash stock recovery like it said it was, im still on cwm

EDIT 2:

LOL i went back to mythtools thread and found the link to the firmware...silly me
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
We'll get 4.4.2 and the 2013 Ultra/X will get 4.4.3.

Custom side we should start seeing 4.4.3 roms in the coming week or two.
[Motorola Atrix HD] matiamb:
Maan why are they taking so long! I ve been having some serious lag problems with the official 4.1.1 JB :/
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
It's not them, we're waiting on AT&T. Latest G+ info puts us in AT&T testing labs soon (what we've been waiting on) and we'll get it a month or two after labs/testing unless someone leaks it.

We can't blame Motorola on this one. We already know that they have working compatible software for us....See the other KK OTA's....we're waiting on AT&T to block tethering and install bloatware...
[Motorola Atrix HD] Jce9182:
I remember in my A2 days we used cheesecake to pull firmwares off the servers. I'm pretty sure cheesecake doesn't work anymore, but is there anyway to check the servers to pull a leak?
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
If there was, I'd imagine it would work something like how Cheesecake did and require running stock,rooted, AT&T with the latest OTA installed and the Cheesecake app. Last I heard Cheesecake didn't work anymore, but ya never know and we could get lucky. A KitKat leak for us would be awesome.

I'm gonna take the OTA here in a little bit and I'll run Cheesecake once I'm done with it all. Since I haven't flashed Nextel or Bell JB yet I'll be able to get all the stock partitions without problems.

It might not hurt to smali some of our stock Updater apks and see if we can't find any references or links to alternate update servers. This sounds like a good boredom project someone could pick up.

And from David's G+

What does that mean? It means Motorola is done with our KK update, and has been for some time now. They were waiting on AT&T to accept us for testing, and now that they have, we have to wait on some more corporate bs because apparently there isn't an Android manufacturer with balls that will pull an Apple and tell a carrier "We're in control of our software updates, not you."
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
Makes sense, the unified CM11 build is going to start updating "function signatures" starting with the 0606 build.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
I messed around with the cheesecake app, but it wasn't until the 3rd server test that I bothered to check the relevant file and the app doesn't update it, so all the servers will have to be entered manually.

file located at /system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.service.blur/defaults.xml

<map><string name='blur.service.ws.useApnProxy'>0</string>[B]<string name='blur.service.ws.masterCloud'>[I]master-lab.blurdev.com[/I]</string>[/B]</map>

The part in bold is missing from our default. The url of the update server is in italics, and that's what needs to be changed each factory reset. Use the cheesecake app to see the different urls, and that url in the example doesn't work any more.

The process is: change server in the file, access recovery, factory reset, reboot, check for ota, repeat from the change server step until an OTA is found.

This might be something that's better done on an older stock rooted Motorola phone (Bravo, Atrix, Defy, Droid X2) with a modded build.prop to spoof it as an Atrix HD. In the past a Blur account was necessary (not available on AHD stock JB) to access updates from the test servers, so this might not even be possible for us on our actual phone.

I suggest pushing the cheesecake app, a root file browser, and a superuser app over to /system to make checking the update servers easier. It sucks having to install cheesecake and superuser every factory reset...which is pretty much every time the phone reboots when doing this...

If someone happens to find an ota, copy it from /cache to the external sd card and upload it somewhere.

Anyways, I'll be on the June 01 Gummy when I'm not messing with this.
[Motorola Atrix HD] trulalueclav:
will mexican AHD get the 4.4 update? AT&T update will be full of crap and blocked tethering
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
If it gets 4.4, then I doubt it will have that crap. Bell ICS, JB and Nextel JB don't have those restrictions, so I doubt their KK will too. Whatever happens, there's already a fix for tethering so it's not a big deal.
[Motorola Atrix HD] trulalueclav:
I know tethering can be fixed but at&t jb rom is just slow under heavy usage so i'm not looking forward to the KK update. Hoping bell or mex will be updated too

Guy sorry to jack the thread.

Can anyone share the latest boot.img from this firmware.

RSDlite, myth tools and fastboot all get an error when flashing the boot.img from stock rom MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA.

Always says error security downgraded.

Btw I have a locked bootloader and can't get back even to stock with this problem.

Have you tried any of these firmware files: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=7 ?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Silenus21:
Yes none of the jb have worked. Phones gives error on boot.img said can't downgrade.

Running out of options.
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
Personally, I would unlock the bootloader, install Philz recovery, and flash Validus KK ROM.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Silenus21:
Problem is I can't open the bootloader from fastboot. I can only reach fastboot, no custom recovery and no rom to root.
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
Have you tried Myth Tools to unlock the bootloader? I believe you unlock the bootloader in fastboot.
[Motorola Atrix HD] TTLayland:
I've been busy in the note 3 and gs4 forums so I'm unaware if the update dropped.

[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
Are you running a completely stock ROM and recovery?

Myth Tools would restore a stock 4.1.1 ROM but the update always failed. I restored the same ROM using RSD and the update worked.

Motorola Atrix HD Root help

Hello people,

I just bought an atrix hd. I am trying to root the phone and eventually unlock the bootloader.

I have been reading the posts and comments on this thread for a while now. I have to admit that i was tempted to update the phone. Now I am regretting that decision.

I tried motochopper method, it didnt work. ( it said success, but when i checked it using rootchecker, it said "this device does not have proper root access".

I tried saferoot method, it didnt work.

Please help me!

Thanks guys

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carne9:
Hi,

I've already been through the thread

[30.03.2012][CF-Root 4.4] J-P/S/Q-*,JV-1KBHIOPQRSTAUV,JVU,JW4 - su+bb+2e/CWM-rfs+ext4

which has links to all the ROM files to be used with CWM in recovery mode (and explanations about their names).

I don't have a standard production phone. Mine has a build name of: FROYO.eng.eunju81.hong.201000831.205407 therefore I can't go by the names of the ROM files which are based on build names like FROYO.xxJP (P obviously referring to "Production"). Does the date of that build have any significance to you experts (Aug 31, 2010)? Does this narrow down what ROM file I can download?

Also, my phone is a pretty standard 512MB, ARM processor phone for that era (I'm guessing, since it was given to a journalist for review who gave it to me when she was done reviewing it).Will I have to use ODIN to flash it? I WAS able to root it (the Chinese made Eroot succeeded where all else failed) and install ROM Manager AND CWM but I then downloaded all three ROM types for my phone (the phone part isn't active I only use the WIFI so I tried the Galaxy Tab ATT, T-Mobile and Verizon but they all gave errors when I tried installing them). I read that it's imperative to have the right file, but with my funky build number, that doesn't seem possible. Am I going to be able to do with this without "doorstopping" my phone? (sorry. I like "doorstop" better than "brick" :).
