hi, so im actually planning on buying a motorola Atrix me860 here in Taiwan..
after a LOT of reading in these forums, im still not that confident in the steps that i have to go through in order to get a functional unlocked, rooted, custom rom'ed GB Atrix.. so here is what i have learned from my "research"
1. first, i have to unlock the BL by installing IHOP via fastboot (im guessing this is regardless of what stock intl firmware or if it is froyo or gb)
2. after that, i root my device by fastboot using the method in the 2nd post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138204
3. then, this is where i get a bit lost, in order to fix the ram issue found in unlocked international users, i need to flash the rom 2.3.4 OrangeFR system image, 2.3.4 OrangeFRwebtop image, and the corresponding tegrapart boot image
now, what if i want to install a different custom rom, like the cherry pie or alien, along with faux's kernel, do i just flash them over the Orange FR via CWM, and if so, do i still retain the ram fix? or does it only work with the OrangFR rom?
help will be greatly appreciated

You can install any kernel you want. Check out Faux's thread, he has stock kernels and unified overclocked ones for which you don't need to worry about tegrapart.

Yes it does, I think it does even more by reallocating it.

oh.. okay..
so do i still need flash the rom 2.3.4 OrangeFR system image, 2.3.4 OrangeFRwebtop image, and the corresponding tegrapart boot image?
or do i just go directly to flashing alien/cherry rom and then faux kernel (which you say will also fix the ram issue)?
Nope you have to flash the faux's kernel first and then you can install quite any rom you want like cherry or alien.
Flashing to the kernel will make it international ect... not the rom (correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think so) so you have to flash the kernel first.
ooohhh, okay okay, i think that's right, thank you
sooo, i have to flash the orange fr stuff, then faux's kernel, then any intl custom rom?
which app did u root with me860. im on HK version
Hello, i'm italian so sorry for my poor english...!!!
I have an atrix ORANGE UK, already rooted and unlocked with gingerbreak.
On my phone i read:
system version 4.1.31.MB860 Orange.en.gb
Android 2.2.2
Baseband n_01.86.00r (not the latest)
Webtop ver
Oshwt_u1_6.34.0
Buld
OLYEM_U4_1.3.1
1- I want to flash a custom rom, like the INTL Darkside 2.0, but i read that the faux123's kernel is optimized for the latest baseband....is it right?
And what will happen if i flash a not INTL rom (or just after i don't flash the fixed kernel)?
2- If i check for updates an alert inform me that a 40mb OTA update is available for download...have i to install it or will it brick my phone...???
3-So what have i to do before i can flash safely?
That's my 1st android phone after 7 years with windows mobile....and i have flashed several time various WM phones.
i read A LOT of threads on this forum but i'm VERY confused...too much informations mixed from AT&T e INTL......
Thanks a lot!!
Mirko
Don't worry about the baseband. As long as you are bootloader unlocked and you flash a kernel that is international and tegra part identifying.
Darkside does flash the fight kernel by itself so you can go ahead. I believe that the update is safe(not certain though) but is unnecessary if you are going to flash a rom

Now i'm going to try to flash the Darkside rom...i will let you know!

After a lot of troubles now i have the cm7 beta, with some little problem!
Thanks a lot!
I've spent the last 2 days trying to fix my mistake. I have the GS2 ATT version, and I didn't realise there was a difference between that and the GTI9100 S2.
I wanted to give some tips I learned on how to recover your phone if you make this mistake.
First, here are some posts you'll want to look at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 - Stock firwmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823 - Clockworkmod for the ATT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286192 - Cyanogenmod for our phones.
Using Odin and the stock firmware, you can recover your phone to a 95% working state. Once I got my stock firmware on there, I found that while making calls my phone made no sound, and the mic didn't work. The mic did work when I wasn't making calls though.
I reflashed the modem.bin file found on the stock firmware, not sure if its required but that is what I did first. Then, I unpacked the rooted stock firmware, and flashed JUST THE zImage file. After doing this, I rebooted, and my calls were working again.
After that, I installed the correct version of Clockworkmod, and then CM7 nightly. Now everything seems to be running great on my phone.
Hope this helps someone out there,

Good job thanx man.

In other words I can't flash the nightly builds like the latest 77 or any others for that matter.

Those are NOT for our version of the GS2, International only. Our version is here in the development forum.

Yes, it will return a status error 7 which means it's unmatched. Ask me how I know. I flashed international roms last night and used this fix to get me good again.
I flashed a KE7 I9100 build to my I777 and saw no ill effects other than incorrect capacitive button mapping. Which build did you flash? Did you make sure to wipe data factory reset afterwards.
So you are saying that you wre able to flash Euro ROMS and your phone booted just fine? Mine didnt boot at all. Did you flash the KERNEL for ATT on top of it ?

The simple thing would be to change out the sec_touchkey.kl with rootexplorer and take the sec_touchkey from system/usr/keylayout should fix the i9100 rom to work with the i777. Seeing as how this worked for the Captivate *i897* for jvr, jvs, and jvt darkyrom releases and I would assume that it would work.

Personally I would think that you had a bad flash? Did you flash through Odin or CWM? From what I have been reading the gb bootloaders between the i777 and i9100 are different and I can see if you used a custom i9100 rom flashing via cwm could cause that. Since I am not too sure on the sgs2 if the differences between the euro models versus the carrier locked, the Kernel will not fix the button mapping, I learned this with the captivate when I switched over to using DarkyRom jvr and jvs builds since they were the most stable of GB for the i897 captivate. Plus if you are going to run a i9100 rom, I am sure the modem will not work with the att kernel. Especially if the situation with the cappy is any indication that att kernel needs att modem and i9000 kernel needs i9000 modem. I will be able to know more as soon as I get my i777 tomorrow.
HTH,

tried that three times... didnt help..
Did the same thing and made it back to ATT version and running CM7 for now. Still have an I9100 boot screen with a yellow logo. How do I get rid of that?
SO why do you say this flashes you back to 95%? Is there no 100% return to stock fix?

Some people need to wipe or also flash the modem for 100%.
Also, people who managed to flash a bootloader without hardbricking can't get back to stock with any confirmed method.
I have posted bootloader dumps, but no one has flashed them and I'm not messing with trying to flash them. They are dumps from my device and that is the ONLY guarantee I provide for them.

i messed up and flashed an i9100 rom and am having the call prob u described. can i just flash the modem or stock rooted kernel and be back to 100%? if so do i use odin and do i need to check the box for repartition or anything like that? thx in advance!!!
Is bootstrap recovery the same as clockwork recovery? Are they one and the same?
Also I'm on kernal 2.3.4 do I have to do anything special if I want to load a 2.3.5 rom?
Sorry I'm new to playing around with motorola phones.
I thought they were the same when I first started hacking my phone. But it turns out they are not the same.
As for updating your phone to 2.3.5, if you are on stock 2.3.4, all you need to do is root your phone, install bootstrap recovery and flash the 2.3.5 ROM using bootstrap recovery.
There is a nice guide someone put together in the dev. Section.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Basically, yes - those recoveries a almost the same. They are both used in the same way, which is to backup/restore, wipe data and flash a ROM. So there's no real difference.
As for the 2.3.4 kernel. SOME people can get away with flashing a 2.3.5 based ROM on their 2.3.4, others can't. Either way, I'd recommend just updating to 2.3.5 to safe. Plus (to me), 2.3.5 seems smoother and faster.
To Update to 2.3.5, just download the update.zip from here: http://www.multiupload.com/0ZT7FTOW0R
This is just the update file, so all you need to do is flash that, but I won't get into much about that.
If you need a guide on updating it, then you can look at this one right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391824
That's the one I used.
Ok so I'm currently on Molten 2.2 wich is a 2.3.4 romand was looking at liberty rom wich is 2.3.5 rom. So all I would need to do is just clear the needed data and flash it like any other rom?
The reason for asking about if it was clockwork was because in one of the roms the instructions says to use clockwork and I never saw a like to clockwork in the dev section
Yes I looked in the stickies first and these were just the questions that popped up that I didn't see the answer to it. I may have just over looked it but I figured I would ask before I borked my phone lol
looks like while I was writing a responce some one answered lol thank you all for your help
U don't need to root to install 2.3.5
It is signed by moto so we can flash in stock recovery
(actually that's how you SHOULD FLASH 2.3.5)
And our BSR is a hacked/ported cwm
To update to 2.3.5 you WILL need to be STOCK (you CAN be rooted but it will take away root when u flash it....just root again with zergrush...)

Just so you know, Liberty is a 2.3.4 rom. Have a look at the OP in that thread. If you're on Molten, just wipe data and cache and you should be set.
So many threads that I cannot find it. I am currently unlocked on nottachtrix 1.2.9b but it keeps restarting my phone randomly so I want to flash a completely stock ROM, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks guys!
searching dev forum returned this list of firmwares http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944. Find your country/carrier and go for it.
As an alternative, I have used Aura (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186990) and was better than stock for me and includes webtop.
If you feel adventurous again, try miui-us V4 2.3.16 also in the dev forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383721).
Hope I was able to help
Check the Fruitcake thread, stock roms are there.

You said your atrix is unlocked (or are you on Atrix2 since you mention Supercharged A2?), then root, install romracer's cwm for atrix and use cwm to reset, clear data and cache, then flash a rom of your choice.
All available in the dev section.

Downgrading the version risk bricking. I soft bricked mine when I went from 2.3.6(prior to a few ROMs) to 2.3.4.
