I was fiddling with adb after work and out of curiosity I tried following the unlock procedure that I used on a Xoom before. This has probably been tried so thats why Im asking. When I issue reboot bootloader and then fasboot oem unlock through adb, it says "If you wish to proceed please re-enter the command containing the unique ID of your device: "Then it lists an ID." Its 16 characters long. Is this echo normal? I did get my fastboot.exe from the internet somewhere because the SDK I got didnt have it.
I looked online and the way you unlock the bootloader on an Atrix is by doing the same steps so that leads me to my question: What happens if I re-enter the command with the unique ID? Im just afraid to screw something up. That is according to this link: http://mobilegeeky.com/hack-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader/
I find it hard to believe that unlocking the bootloader is that easy but I just dont want to end up in a "curiosity killed the cat" kind of scenario and brick my phone.
Thanks guys!
I tried it for you . It just returns a message that says "OEM unlock is not implemented".

Thanks man. Im kinda skittish with my phone. Thats disappointing it doesnt do anything but what else could we expect haha.
Well, I figure I don't have much to lose. I can upgrade at a discounted price if I want so I figured what the heck. Worst case, if for some reason I couldn't sbf my way out of a jam I'd have to use the upgrade. That wouldn't be all bad though.

what are you looking at for your upgrade. I'm due an upgrade also n have done allot to this x2
But don't really know where to go from here. A razor? was suggested a galaxy nexus but know absolutely nothing about that.
Get the galaxy nexus. Its completely stock android. It gets tons of updates because it runs pure android.

Well, I've done a limited amount of reading on the nexus. If I was looking to upgrade, I'd be tempted to get one except for one thing. No sd card. Don't think I want a phone without support for a sd card. I also did some reading in the nexus forum here. The phone isn't without it's faults. For one thing, it looks like there's a fair amount of people who aren't happy with the glass on it. The say it scratches easy. That can be remedied with a screen protector of course, but, if you happen to be one (like me) who doesn't care for screen protectors, well, it's a negative too.
Anyway, I haven't done enough reading to come to a final conclusion on what phone I'd get. I'm not really looking to upgrade at the moment. Things are just getting interesting with this one.
I don't know who's going to read this and/or if there will be any comments to it. I just want to take this horrible frustration and downheartedness out of my chest. I hope this will be of some help for anybody out there trying the same.
Today, I've hit what I hope will be the lowest most bitter point for me as an Android aficionado. Ever since the G1 was announced and came out, I jumped on the wagon and pre-ordered from Tmo (I was a customer at that time). As soon as I had it in my hands, I began learning about its customization, user experience, etc. I came here and learned how to root it (although I registered a bit later). I've owned four G1s, two G2s, an HTC Sensation and two Tbolts. All of them motivated me to dare tweaking and customizing more and more. Always with more or less satisfying results at the end, after overcoming the always present unexpected troubles. This time, however... I feel like I've got a pretty ugly dose of failure.
<s>I'll try to make it short.</s> My in-laws came from China. They had very old phones and wanted to get iPhones. However, the screen ended up seeming pretty small for them compared to my Tbolt. They asked me if I could help them get a good phone. I came up with a couple of choices. The HTC One X and the Samsung Galaxy S2. After thinking about it, I went for the S2. Now, it was a matter of picking the right (GSM) one. Either the ATT or Tmo version. I did more research and picked the ATT (I777) version, since "that's closer" to the international version.
I purchased two of them, still sealed, from Craigslist. I just loved them! Immediately, I purchased the unlocking codes for both. I got home and inserted a Tmo SIM to test them. I couldn't wait to hand them over to them. Then, things started to go just wrong in every way...
I was shocked to see the S2 had no Chinese option in language. The only Asian language available was Korean. At some point later, I realized that the Chinese options in my other phones were probably due to HTC being a Taiwanese company. I kept searching for an answer and ended up trying a couple of apps from the market like Morelocale2, etc. But they only translated about %30 of the whole. Failure.
I kept reading and learned I could flash a ROM with the language included. After more and more reading and rooting it, I had two choices. I could flash the Hong Kong or Singapore version of the phone. Those two come with the language already installed. Even though I don't know Chinese, I managed to get some help from a dev acquaintance and found the HK (I9100) version that even had the ICS version. I followed the tut and flashed it using Odin. When it booted it looked all good. Looking at that Chinese all over the place even made me smile. I sighed and said "I'm done"... little did I know my failure was far from avoided.
First of all, I learned that only two of the four buttons work due to the kernel. Only Back and menu work. I tried to see the good side. It'd be easier for them to get used to using only two buttons. I started installing more goodies, like Chinese input (by strokes, not by keyboard), even a wonderful app I found called Buttonsavior to replace the physical buttons. I was "done" and handed over the phone; only one of them. I wanted to be sure of the procedure to go, before doing the other. Then, I realized something horrific...
As they were trying the phone, poking menus here and there to become familiar with the UI; suddenly, while testing making a phone call, I heard that phrase: "It has no sound!" I wanted to kick myself out of my own disbelief... I thought "OMG! It was so hard hard to get a hold of that ROM. Now what?" I sadly understood I'd have to restore and go back to trying to find a solution to the partially translated gingerbread version. Then, I restored and went cold when I realized what had happened.
During the restoring, I was quite glad I had backed up in case of a disaster. When I booted up and just out of curiosity of how good the sound of the call was supposed to sound, I made a call. Guess what? IT DIDN'T WORK EITHER! This is when I started panicking! I thought "OK, I restored, now what?" I quickly did a wipe, factory reset, even unrooting back to the stock ROM. Did it work? No!! No audio call! "OMG!! The phone I just bought on Craigslist it's defective!"
I didn't give up and let that make me feel down (completely). I said "OK, after all this struggle and time, at least I'm going to make the other one work." I took the other phone and made a call to finally hear the quality of the audio call. It was very good to say the least. It was very nice and clear. At this point I started to feel half of an epic failure. In less than 5 mins the phone was rooted and being updated to the HK ICS ROM. I went as quickly as I could through the initial setup. I hit the home screen and the first thing I touched was the phone call icon, dialed and waited to see what the phone was supposed to be like. Then, the half failure, became full failure. I don't remember feeling that down for something before. I threw in the towel...
The audio didn't work... that's when I realized I had just messed up two brand new S2s I bought out of a stranger's hands. I've thought about it, and I got the feeling something can be done, but at this point I'm not sure what. I feel like my brain has dried up. I struggled with this for about a week, having a massive headache at least three times. But the story didn't end there...
In a feeling of total defeat, I did the last thing I could think of... I called tech support and tell them about the lack of sound. After lot of talking and pushing for some solution (they wanted me to take it back to the 'store'), they said the warranty was good for another eleven months. They've got my info and emailed me a prepaid UPS label. You think think it's a happy ending? No. You want to know why? I can't even reset the binary counter. I even got a jig connector to do the job, but of course 'for some strange reason', it won't do it. If this isn't an example of a perfect failure, then what is it? Total lost: $900.
I'm not as good as most guys here, but I like to read and use common sense as much as I can. This time I thought to my self "I'm a dumbass, what else can I say?" Aren't I?
Thanks for reading,
Edit: Yes, I did flash a stock ROM.
Hi buddy,
I just read your story.. U will both phone work again, I am pretty sure! Try to get some experienced help! Fully restoring by flashing a stocks rom should be the help... Make sure I do it correct!
Good luck!!!

I can tell you right off the bat that the reason the Home and Search buttons didn't work on your i777 (AT&T S2) is because you flashed an i9100 ROM. The i9100 has a physical home button and no search button. i9100 ROMs ARE compatible with the i777 since other than that they are identical phones, but you need to fix the key mappings. As for the audio, I'm not sure.
I don't know if I forgot to mention it, but I did flash a stock ROM.
I may not have the greatest knowledge of these things but are you sure it's not a radio issue? Have you tried flashing a different radio (one that's compatible with the ROM and region you want to install)? I know I mate who had an issue with calls after flashing a new ROM to his new S2 and the problem turned out to be the radio. Once he flashed a new one (it may have been the factory one he flashed back on to it) it all worked.

Man that's a crazy story. Not sure if I over read it or not cuz I'm baked or not but maybe they were tinkered with before you got them? Like did audio work originally? I know I'm sure glad I found the sbf files for my old OG, since they've saved me numerous times being able to flash to out of the box status. Sounds like you might've jumped into it too quickly without ironing out all the details. Shoot I know it took me like 2 weeks thinking about just rooting my phone to finally do it a couple years ago.

Yes, that was my first thought after flashing that ICS regional ROM: the radio. And that was the reason why I decided to flash the unrooted stock ROM. But like I said, nothing! I'm sure there was nothing wrong with the phones. The second was working fine before I did it. I actually tested it over and over, kind of like to make me feel better that at least that one of them was going to work.
Hi, are you getting no sound at all or just no sound in call.
I would suggest flashing back using Odin. I've had some issue's when flashing using Odin for customers. Some have had non EU devices and wanted EU firmware flashed. After flashing i also experienced sound issues.
I found that flashing back to the earliest possible stock Samsung Rom helped in my case.
hope this help you out bro

Like I said. The reason why I thought it was a radio issue (and flashed a stock ROM via Odin) was because they do have sound, but no during a call.

I'd still suggest trying to flash a radio separately. When it happened to my mate he still had sound issues after flashing back to a stock ROM and it was only fixed by flashing a separate radio zip.

I think trying that is the only thing that separates me from having spent $900 in, virtually, two paper weights. I got this strange feeling it might be a fate prank. If so, I'll probably take a break from this kind of endeavors.
The only time I've done a radio update was when updating my G1 to 1.6. The radio file was hard to find though...

Thank you very much mate! Really, I really appreciate it. The clock is ticking back. They're leaving tomorrow. I'll get into it and report back.
Thanks again,
While trying to find the right radio, it just hit me. Should I use a chinese (ZS, ZC) version? I feel like a total n00b asking this, but... does the baseband has to do with roaming or something like that?

The modem firmware has to match the hardware. You need to the one that came with the phone. The frequencies are physically programmed into the radio and flashing a radio with a different frequency will make it not work until you flash the correct one.

The phones are identical in terms of hardware specs (i9100s I mean) but each region may have one that picks up different frequencies. No you can't reconfigure it unless the radio supports it which is rare and not the case for the S2. Like I said flash the radio that came with the phone. You most likely flashed a ROM for an S2 that was a different region and came with a different radio. The software for the radio is trying to tell the radio to tune to a frequency it doesn't support. Get it?
Hopefully you made a nandroid backup before you did anything and can restore it. Also you can always play around with it in English and then change the language to Chinese when you are done if you are able to find a rom that has the language support.
So here's my story, I am not entirely new to rooting as I have successfully rooted my Motorola Droid, My Droid X2, My Acer Iconia a500 (twice), My aunts Lg something, and my mothers Kindle Fire.
So a few days ago my Droid X2 started acting up, and would go hours on end sometimes without working.
I was very happy to find out that Verizon would replace it with no hassle as it was less than a year old. I got the replacement yesterday and it's working great... that is until I found out it came stock with 2.3.5 right out of the box.
Now I have always trusted XDA forums and have used them for a long time (although I finally just registered today to ask this)
The only root method I can find is to downgrade to 2.3.4 and then root, then install voodoo root protector, then upgrade.
Now I saw a few things about possibilities of bricking your phone when trying to read those tutorials (I have never had to downgrade before) and I was a bit concerned.
I was mainly wondering, I don't care about loosing data on the phone. I have a backup sd card I can use if I need to format that, and like I said, the phone is new and actually doesnt have a single app I have installed on it yet.
Is there any easy way to go back down to 2.3.4 for my situation? I just got the free phone and don't want to brick it a day later you know?
From what I gather, you can SBF back down to 2.3.4 with no problem. There may be a certain way you have to do it though. I have never been on stock 2.3.5 so I cant tell you from experience. But Everyone says it's possible.
That's my question in a nutshell
Yeah, I read a tutorial about how to do it using RSDlite, which I downloaded to my comp.
Now what I'm cautious about is white file to use. One of the tutorials had one, now while I know a tiny bit about rooting I know NOTHING about flashing it back, I wasn't sure if there was a way that this could screw up my phone, as it seems everything tested is with a phone that had already been rooted, or if there is anything phone specific in that file, or even if it actually is an OTA original (I'd rather not mess around with anything customized right now)
Whatever is the easiest method for getting be back down, I know how to take it from there as I've done it before.
Thanks for the response though!

So you have never used an SBF file? If you would have used it on your broken Droid X2 when it wasnt acting right, it might have fixed your phone. An SBF file simply wipes everything of your phone (excluding your SD card) and flashes brand new software on it. The SBF files are provided by Motorola so its not like you are using something made by a dev and can break your phone easily. You should be able to use RSD lite to flash the 2.3.4 SBF file and you should be fine. But then again, I have never SBF'd from 2.3.5 to 2.3.4 personally so I would feel bad saying go ahead with no worries and something bad happen. So wait for someone else to respond first.
Thanks!
Thanks for that info!
Also, I doubt that would have fixed my old phone, it seems pretty much like a hardware issue. The screen will display static for hours on end (think like an old tv if you didnt have cable plugged in) I think it's a loose connection somewhere or something. I didn't bother to really troubleshoot it myself though because I was like "lets see if Verizon will give me a new one" and they did, and because they didnt have any "replacements" i got a brand new one, with a brand new battery, so I wasn't going to argue the fact
Anyway, if the file is from Motorola where can I get it? I saw on a verizon forum that they were not allowed to post it there (or is it "from motorola" in the sense it was leaked?)
Thanks for all your help so far, you've been great!

Yeah, it does sounds like it was a hardware problem. Actually, I never thought about if motorola had a list of sbf files somewhere or if they were just leaked or what. I always downloaded them from threads like these. I just know they are made by motorola. You got me curious now. hmmm...
Duh
forget about my question as to where to get them, just saw the sticky at the front of this forum.
Although, it would be interesting to know if they were officially given out by motorola or leaked

bro, you wont have any problems downgrading/sbfing back to 2.3.4, i did it without any problems
i used sbf_flash through linux though idk about RSDLite
So I don't know ****. Yeah I said it, don't run away though. I'm still reading tons of information on the forum and you guys are awesome and I can't believe I never did this sooner!
I really wish I could have started from a stock phone but that was a great deal to me, and this is how things are.
The situation:
I bought a MINT Atrix 4 for $125. Great. Well the phone already has what the guy called "Jelly bean" installed which is cm10 if I understand correctly (the phone wont be activated till next week).
The problem:
He said "DO NOT try to record a video. The camera works, just not the video recorder. He also says WiFi doesn't work and DO NOT touch that either. Now that's a problem.
Phone specs:
Android version 4.1.1
baseband version N_01.77.37p
kernal 2.3.32.59-mb860-cm9-g89b8854
cm mod version 10-20120729-UNOFFICIAL-olympus
yada yada
If any specific threads can help besides the Nooby and FAQ threads I would appreciate that as well. The more information the more comfortable I will be with the phone.
I wouldn't call a broken phone mint. If wifi doesn't work, its likely that bluetooth doesn't either and if that's the case, you got screwed as the only way to repair it is to send to motorola. Which since you're not the original owner means you have to pay for the repair. I'd return it if he didn't disclose the broken wifi. Good luck
Try flashing a new radio and rom

It wasn't an eBay purchase so returning it isn't an option. Besides, I never said bluetooth doesn't work. From what I read, when both are not working its hardware and software if only one (most of the time).

You're right you didn't say bluetooth wasn't working. Its just a known error around the forums. Really no need to snap at me or get defensive. I was not in any way belittling you so I dont appreciate your attitude from a self proclaimed NOOB. That being said, I'm over it and I agree with the other post saying to try another rom. Is it joker or epinter cm10 that its on? (Those right now are the active developers of cm10 for the atrix) If its either of those, read thru their developer posts and see if wifi not working is a known issue.
Your initial post definitely came off as rude. I think I have an idea on what to do but I'm going to do a little more research before I dive in. Thanks for real this time.
So I have tried downloading different cm10 files, a cm9 file, and gapps. When I'm in my recovery and try to install from the sd card, they wont load
(bad)
Installation aborted.
What should I try now guys? Am I damaging the files? I downloaded from jokersax's site (firefox)>open containing folder and drag to F: (I tried E: but I guess that's the phones internal?)

Really need to start recovering the phone not throwing roms at it till its fixed. Atrix is an odd ball when you get tied up in partitions and file locations. My suggestion would be to checkout fruitcake and start from there . There are more risky ways of getting out of that rut by try the easy stuff first. Phone needs a clean start and all new files. Cm10 has some issues depending on the logic board revision you have. Before you ask the only way to tell is to physically compare one logic board to another and there are very subtle difference. I only stumbled across this by accident during some full tear downs . I usually judge by symptom then treat them accordingly .
Like I stated above fruitcake is my recommend and I have used it numerous times with trouble phones that need a clean start.

I got way ahead of myself after receiving my HOX+ for only the difference of my HOX purchase and began to flash the worldwide development exploits to my phone.
I noticed in the TWRP thread, it said ATT users 'may' experience trouble, so I took the risk.
Noticed I couldnt mount system or Cache, did a factory reset before attempting to install SuperSU. Now Im stuck with no OS.
Am I stuck until we get more ATT exploits?
I see no stock ATT software so this leads me to believe I will not be able to see nothing more then the TWRP menu until USA gets on this thing. Correct?
I didnt do a backup.

Not a clever move. I don't know much about the AT&T device, but when I was helping Lloir test the first lot of custom recoveries, I accidently formatted my nand by trying to factory reset. It was easy to rescue for me as I had a RUU to flash. But AFAIK there is none for AT&T. If you have done what I did. I'm afraid your stuck with a brick until Lloir has finished the AT&T recovery and you can flash a custom rom.

I noticed in the TWRP thread, it said ATT users 'may' experience trouble, so I took the risk.
Noticed I couldnt mount system or Cache, did a factory reset before attempting to install SuperSU. Now Im stuck with no OS.
Am I stuck until we get more ATT exploits?
I see no stock ATT software so this leads me to believe I will not be able to see nothing more then the TWRP menu until USA gets on this thing. Correct?
I didnt do a backup.

You're stuck until we actually get a proper recovery. You will be doubly screwed if you flashed TWRP for the One XL.
Same

I am sorry, but (a big BUT) if you had taken the time to read a little bit through the X+ forum for like 15 minutes, in particular through the recovery threads, you would have learned that the AT&T version is not yet supported.
I am sorry for the trouble that you experience, but it is always better to first understand completely before doing something, in particular with an expensive device like this one.
However, I don't think Lloir is far off of a working recovery.
Thanks man to pro

yeah lesson learn always read and don't assume even if you have rooted before :3
This is the first time i've jumped the gun like this. I just got so excited when they told me I could bring in my HOX and grab the X+ for only the difference. Out the store I was thinking "4 cores??? Im gonna hack this mother effer, PRONTO!!!"
Got home, saw the TWRP and All in One. I felt like it was a wrap! All in One, IIRC gave not one warning about worldwide vs. ATT, TWRP gave a warning about 'possible' issues. I assumed a misaligned touch screen or the sdcard message he posted or something minor.
It wasnt until I was already done, unlocked, and flashed when I realized I screwed up and started to investigate my mistake.
I am not blaming the devs AT ALL. It is my fault, being on the leecher end of the table, for not being thorough and researching before jumping into something crucial with such a valuable piece of equipment.
I hardly post on XDA, mostly because I have mastered XDA's, as well as Google's search button and end up finding my answer before resorting to wasting space, time, money, and energy on a crap post like this one. This also makes me a leecher, being as I never have anything more to offer. So I want to thank all of the devs for their amazing work throughout these years I've been on XDA and in front of a smartphone
****REQUEST**** ATT separate thread? Like the Original HOX?
AND ALONG CAME LLlOIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is why i was attempting to discredit the guy in the other thread. Watch how many of these bricked threads begin to show up; the last thing we will need is Q&A threads saying "Hey I did it on my AT&T phone, and it worked fine!"

Check with hasoon2000. I think he's got something that might help. But I'm not sure how it will work without recovery.

Im still pretty much stuck. I have a new recovery but no working rom to flash to my phone. EHHH. I totally agree with creating a seperate section.We'll see what happens in the near future. Day 2 without a phone and Im starting to get withdrawals and trembles. My face is flush, im sweating, freezing, my legs are numb and the rest of my body aches. I need my phone. I need it.
Cant wait to here all the patronizing posts from all the kings and queens about how I should've done my research. "This is your fault" "You deserve to not have a phone" "dont eat the fish" GOBBLE GOBBLE!!! Damn, I need to go to sleep. NINJUHHHHHH

I'd just bring it back and say "I have no idea what happened but I'm not happy"
Get your money back or a new phone.

That's what I did after I bricked my AT$T phone. Got a new one. Although this time I only unlocked the boot loader. i am a little scared to load a recovery after my last experience with this phone. I think I will wait a bit...
Same here. Bricked mine and swapped it out for a new unit.
I just used the all-in-one and it went smooth.

honestly the TWRP works just fine as long as you choose the AT&T one and flashing SU is all you need for now to bak the bloat
PM sent!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I honestly dont want to risk it, since my phone clearly says its been unlocked all over it! I dont know exactly how strict they are over ATT being as I just transferred from sprint. But at sprint they inspect your phone for about 3 hours before blaming it on you and voiding your warranty.
