Hello,
I'm new. I got my Atrix 5 days ago. I migrated from an iPhone 3g. I am on AT&T. I have done TONS of research before doing anything with my phone. I really dont want to brick it and I want to make sure im doing it right the first time and everytime. since its new it has 1.83 on android ver 2.2. I rooted using gingerbreak, obtained sideloading and tether using Gladiatrix. I am contemplating installing Gingerblur but I am hesitant. its not the installation that worries me. its the uninstalling should something go wrong. I understand creating a nandroid back is the way to go as I SHOULD be able to reflash to my backed up stock ROM. and be MOSTLY back to where I am now. here is my problem... HOW? I have done hours of combing numerous forums looking for how to create a nandroid backup. I understand ROM Manager is the way to go. but it keeps telling me "you must have clockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing. Install the recovery through ROM Manager first." so i click "install" and a dialog box pops up and gives me multiple phones to choose from, none of which is my Atrix. so i did more research and found another way (I think) using the Moto a4 bootstrap located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019143 using these instructions (watch from 3:08 to 4:46). Is this where I am going wrong? Im getting this screen (also has a "charge boot" button): http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k...kMod-Recovery-for-Motorola-Atrix-4G_thumb.png
what am I missing? What am I doing wrong? how do i create a nandroid backup?
I have found numerous posts/sites that tell me to use ROM Manager but im getting the above error.
Do I even want GingerBlur this bad?
thanks for listening and I really hope someone has some answers soon as I have spent HOURS looking for an answer. in the mean time im going to bed.
You're almost there. Click Install Recovery. Allow root. Make sure your phone is plugged into the wall charger. Then click Recovery Boot. Your phone will reboot into recovery, and there should be a menu item for backing up your phone. Use the volume up/down to navigate the menu and the wake button to select.

I appologize for the subject, I typed it out else where on my pc and copy/pasted it in and missed the subject.
Thanks, the instructions I had found were very blurry when he got to the recovery mode portion and i couldnt tell if there was a backup option.
so this AM went into recovery mode and made a backup to my external SD card. will ROM Manager work at this point? or is it not completely supported yet (because its not in the list)
I feel much more comfortable trying out Gingerblur at this point now that I have a backup of the stock ROM.
Thanks for your help, and again sorry bout the subject, simple mistake.

I got this answer on another forum with a similar question:
In a nutshell, in order to use CWM and do a Nandroid backup, you must use a phone that has an unlocked bootloader; which allows certain changes to be made to the Operating System which enables those two apps. The Atrix has not yet been unlocked, and Gingerblur is not a true ROM. It's only a "pseudo-ROM"...more like a theme on Android than a rewritten version of Android, which is what a true ROM is. So, in other words, "you can't get there from here".

Thats the simple answer. thanks for the help everyone.
This is my very first smartphone as I have been to poor to get one before now. I have Att SGS2. From what i have read i have made a bad decision when doing the factory upgrade to uckk6.
The thing is I want to root the phone, put on custom mods....but I am having a hard time grasping it. I don't want to mess anything up and I dont want to lose my photos and such that are on the phone.
I dont know where to even start.....backup program? or? what all programs or apps i need?
before I upgraded, i downloaded a super1click program and it said it was rooted...then i tried to use the phone and there was soooo much lag in the response time..... i hit the unroot button and tried to use the phone and same thing...restarted phone and it was fine. While it was rooted tho, the damn superuser part asked for money before i could even do anything, that was second reason for unroot and of course thinking i may mess up my phone.
I have tried asking all my friends and to no avail have succeeded in finding anyone that has rooted a phone and/or flashed custom roms.
Like I said in the title, i have been to many different sites even trying to read up and I would rather be safe than sorry. If someone could plz help me out here I would be very grateful.
I am hoping I don't get spazzed at like i seen in a few other posts of other ppl.
And i have seen where someone sent ppl to:
[Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCKH7/KK6 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root
but that doesnt get my foothold on where to start at.
Please don't write me off as a lost cause because I would like to enjoy the benefits of having a rooted phone and custom roms as the rest of you that are intelligent enough to do so. At one point I'm sure you were where i am. I am very eager to learn and can't wait!
While I was writing this i downloaded the Uckk6_stock_rooted.tar.7z not sure if i need it or what though.
Thanks
Follow this guide TO A TEE, and you shouldn't have any problems. It also won't trigger the flash counter so you can take it back for repairs and Samsung won't know you've done anything to it. Use (2C) Entropy's version using windows to root as the others won't work with the OTA update. If you have a MAC, use 2D. Folow the directions EXACTLY how their written. This will get you rooted. Drop down to 3B and again, FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY HOW THEIR WRITTEN. After this is done, you have a Entropy's kernel with CWM. You can then download any COMPATIBLE rom to your internal SD card and flash the rom with CWM.
To save your pics and such, just hook your phone to your puter via the USB cord and copy/paste, or drag and drop to a file on your computer.

thx again axis01. i sent you a couple pm's with a few more detailed questions also
um.....got past the first part 2c......my wifi doesn't work now????

thx in advance
help came in later post to wipe. thanks
Did you root with kh7? I see you had kk6 stock. If you went back to kh7 (2.3.4) wifi breaks and have to wipe data. Look at entrophy's thread about it. The return to stock one
Head back over to sticky land... Rooting is the easy part.

I just don't understand why people who can't comprehend the process of rooting or flashing even try. It's not like this phone sucks stock that they just have to mod it to make it workable. None of this is rocket science, but if you don't understand it beforehand then JUST LEAVE YOUR PHONE ALONE! It will be 100 times harder to fix it if you don't know how you messed it up in the first place. It really isn't fair to expect people in here to bail you out when things go wrong because you didn't know what you were doing. The warnings aren't there to keep you from the good stuff. They're there so that you'll think before doing and only do once you understand.

Do you have clockwork mod recovery? (Hold all three buttons until you see basic text on your screen... usually like 10 seconds.)

I've read everything in your thread so far and it sounds like everything is fixed. If wifi works and you have root, cwm, and superuser you should be good to go. Go install roms and enjoy. Really doubt your wifi is going anywhere. I'm far from a programmer or anything like that, and from my experience, if you follow the instructions it's hard to **** this phone up beyond repair firmware wise so freaking out is pointless.

Get Odin 1.7 from here:

Get Samsung Kies from here (only way my computer would pick up the phone):

I sure wish I'd read the post before you edited it. Hope you got the help you needed.
Anybody that thinks they are one of the best if not the TOP troubleshooting helper around, Please let me know if you are available after 5 today. I dont have a lock screen anymore and when I hold the power button down, the device shuts off instead of having the options to reboot, power down, screen shot, whatever else available. I am rooted, but I did try going back to stock and had no luck with the lock screen. Also, I cound a backup on a different MicroSD card and tried to restore that. It worked fine, but never gave me the lock screen or power down options again. Weather you want to talk on the phone, chat, or email. Please reply here or email me at [email protected] Thank You!
Sorry but we don't have a ranking system here. You get what you get . . .
The power off menu is in the framework of the OS. Have you flashed anything with CWM/TWRP that could have changed the framework? Almost any mod could be a possible cause.
Did you use a theme-setting app? These apps change the framework and that includes the lock screen too.
Have you restored a backup recently?
Post your rom version and apps you installed recently.

I'm sorry you felt the need to take what i said the way you did. I was simply stating what i said the way i did because nobody could ever help me with this. I am currently rooted on stock ics. I didn't even have a lock screen after i flashed back to stock on Odin, then used kies to get the latest ics. It doesn't make sense. Do Tippy have any idea how i could put this back to normal? It's a pain having to rely on go locker and go launcher. Also, when i hold the power button down, the phone just shuts down, with no options like normal. It's crazy. I appreciate your help either way. It won't let me flash a different ROM right now. Gives some error. I just want to be fully stock with a lock screen and power menu options them go from there.

The issue is that my phone is not as it normally should be..with options after holding down the power button, and with no lock screen...even after successfully going back to stock, these things were missing...

Since you can't go back to stock,
Flash a rom, it should install those missing things.
Or mess it up worse and take it back for a new one.

This maybe a dumb thought but can you use kies and install the original ICS again? I know you mentioned backups didn't work so reinstalling original ICS probably won't worj either. Just a thought.

Are you going back to stock ICS or gingerbread? I would Odin back to gingerbread and start brand new. This will solve any major issue for sure. But only do it if you have the things you need to get back to where you are, like the GB root, cwm or twrp, and your roms. Let me know if that helps

I can let you know up front this did not work. I did this in the beginning. Went back to stock GB then had to use Kies to get to ICS. This did not help my issue/problem at all. Still no lock screen. It sucks. I am almost lost for help here it seems. Is there any way to completely reset the device from the beginning? Or again, any way to get help with everything in the actual framework of the whole device? Anything anybody could do to help me with would be amazing. Thank you for everything again!

Idk but I did warranty claim with one of my notes and Samsung didn't say anything about the flash counter after. But they also sent me the new phone first then I sent mine back, but like I said they didn't say anything after.
but now that I think about it, the lock screen is not a device issue. it comes different in every ROM in the framework res.apk! I don't see how that's even possible? The entire frameworks flash and the device can't on its own decide not to install that especially not on stock GB. For you to Odin back to GB and not have a lock screen on GB is just crazy. Nothing out there I'm aware of can do that and not brick the device. You have to bring that device back foreal. That's screwed and if you do fix that pm me and tell me how!

There is no warranty issue here.
I asked several questions about what you have done, but you didn't inform us.
You never said what recovery you have. The simplest solution is to reboot into recovery, wipe all caches, factory reset, then flash a stock rom.
If you can't do that I would use Odin to flash a stock rom.
Those are your options.

I have tried to answer every single question to the best of my ability. Sorry I did not answer your question properly. I was on CWM recovery but Just now again I flashed back to STOCK using Odin.

Again, I feel like a broken record by repeating this SEVERAL times but Flashing Back To Stock Using ODIN Does Not Work! I just said that I did this in my post before last. I finally have managed to get cm10 nightly to flash on my device. When I flashed this, it gave me the lock screen back along with options when I hold down the power button. Thank you all for your help anyways. I guess this is as good as it will get.
When you flash a rom with Odin, it reformats your phone, like a clean slate, then installs the new system.
When you say you flashed back to stock, did you use a .pit file, a .tar file, and a .bin file? If not, you are not flashing back to stock -- you're just adding up a mess in your phone.
If you use Kies, then use the emergency firmware recovery, it will supposedly do the same thing as a correct Odin flash -- reformat then install a clean stock rom.

Speaking from personal experience on two separate accounts of having to deal with the unauthorized software. If you wait for about a minute or so, the phone will shut off or you can pull the battery. Hold the volume down and home buttons together. While pressing and holding those two buttons together, press and hold the power button until the phone turns on and when you see the Samsung Galaxy Note II logo, release the power key. At this point, your phone should enter into downloading mode.
Use ODIN3 v3.07 to flash both of these files together. Also make sure that the Auto Reboot option is checked.
You'll need to download and open this file http://d-h.st/mKu in the PIT section of ODIN.
You'll also need to download and open this file http://d-h.st/Qd4 in the PDA section of ODIN.
Within seconds of flashing the two files at the same time, your phone will reboot and start up like normal.

Also, in order to flash a custom recovery, make sure you are both rooted AND unlocked. There is a very easy to follow guide in the development section by Adam Outler, who developed a pretty much automated system to do so.

Just not entirely sure what part of the guide I would be at. I am using stock with a couple tweaks, Mainly adaway, multiwindow, google wallet. Im rooted havent touched the boot loader yet Rooted the hard way before the one click apk exploit. Any Ideas?

Speaking from personal experience on two separate accounts of having to deal with the unauthorized software. If you wait for about a minute or so, the phone will shut off or you can pull the battery. Hold the volume down and home buttons together. While pressing and holding those two buttons together, press and hold the power button until the phone turns on and when you see the Samsung Galaxy Note II logo, release the power key. At this point, your phone should enter into downloading mode.
Use ODIN3 v3.07 to flash both of these files together. Also make sure that the Auto Reboot option is checked.
You'll need to download and open this file http://d-h.st/mKu in the PIT section of ODIN.
You'll also need to download and open this file http://d-h.st/Qd4 in the PDA section of ODIN.
Within seconds of flashing the two files at the same time, your phone will reboot and start up like normal.

Hey buddy, glad you were able to help him out. Wanted to give you a little advice. It's usually considered bad form to just link the download. Most devs prefer you to link their thread, you know so the person can click Thanks or donate if they feel inclined to. I'm not sure if that's how Adam is, but wanted to point it out to you.

Best bet is to just start at step one of the unlock process

OK, followed Adam's instructions. I'm sure phone is rooted and unlocked.
Now, holding down 'Volum - and Home, then holding down Start' does not work.
I've tried it over and over again.
Any help appreciated.

Hi i got my white AT&T Galaxy Note ii few months back and i really loved it, i was first using my phone with Wifi since it was locked, but after unlocking it few days ago, when i inserted my sim card, the phone showed 4G and ever since my BATTERY have not known peace, i loose 1% battery life in like 2 minutes.
I also had issues turning on my wifi hotspot so i can share network to other devices.
When i found this awesome site, i learned that i could root my phone and get it to do so much more, i did that successfully with an APK app here called framaroot, now i followed every single step well and booted my phone with Samsung Custom rom i think.
But the problem now is, my battery is still not been able to hold a charge, the 4G icon is still there which i don't need for anything, am ok with 3G, and i still have all this crazy useless AT&A apps allover my phone and i can't even turn on my hotspot for tethering.
Please i hope to get solution to this problems, and i hope i have not asked my question in the wrong thread.
Thanks all.

go here for downloading you stock firmware
or here also download odin from the second link
then open odin and place the downloaded tar file in pda
if it is a zip file extract it you will get tar file or tar.md5
then backup your data etc and turn off your phone
press vol down+home+power button to enter a screen then press vol up to enter download mode
connect your phone to pc
odin will show the port you connected
then start flashing after some time usually below 10min
odin will show pass then remove your phone and on
your phone will be as fresh as you bought

yes you can but the better is flash stock rom before you go to any custom ones
first flash the stock
then root
then do as you want install any custom rom kernel etc etc
and the process for installing stock rom will be on the original thread of the rom so follow that

One more thing please and i hope you understand why am asking this.
Am in Africa right now and downloading here is very much limited, so i want to know, do i really need to download the the stock rom from the first link and flash it before this problem can be fixed or can the CUSTOM Jedi rom do the job for me as well, please i don't want to download 2GB if i really don't need it then renew my internet connection with a huge amount.
Thanks

Hi,
After installing the Jedix 19 ROM the phone is stock on the Samsung Galaxy Note II logo.
What do you think could be the cause of this, i even did the wipe data and wipe cache process but still the same thing.
Do you have a recovery installed? If you've got cwm, download CyanogenMod and stick it on an mini SD card, move it to your phone, factory wipe it and flash it. Its worked for me on a boot looped gnote2. Also, once you get a working ROM, just use your root to remove system apps.
only do this is if you have a custom recovery like cwm or twrp
Step by step:
0: get the required stuff, you're gonna need about 250mb of internet, a microsd card, a card reader and some patience.
1: download CyanogenMod, http://get.cm and get a stable for the t0lteatt (att gnote 2)
2:download gapps for 4.3.
3:move them both to the SD and put it in your phone. Boot into recovery.
4:factory reset it, hope you don't using a out of the box phone.
5:flash cm, then gapps.
6:reboot
7:if it works, take a backup
Good luck!

Hi thanks so much for your reply, i appreciate your time.
Yes i have a backup file with the help of CWM and i have been able to move back to my backup file.
My phone model is SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 and from all the reviews i have seen i think the JediX Custom ROM is the best yet for it so am trying to stick with it for a start.
I need suggestions on why after getting the congratulation message to feel the force, it won't boot and just hangs.
Please if you have experienced this in the past please your suggestions are welcomed.
Ask me questions and i'll provide answers that am sure will help you to help me solve this
I would just flash cyanogen for the time being to see if itll even boot. It just replaces the downloading stock in previous posts. If you can get it to boot, that will be progress.

So sorry i forgot to mention it that i was able to restore to my stock backup file and my phone is working fine, but i still want to flash a ROM on it.
Am tired of charging this phone every minute, this is a Note II for crying out loud.
If i ask you to choose for me, between Jedix19 and CyanogenMod 10, which would you stick with so that i'll know if am to start downloading a new ROM to flash again and try.
Thanks
Honestly I've never used a Jedi ROM, so mainly if you want to stick to Jedi try flashing a different version. Good job taking that backup, that saved a whole lotta trouble.

for battery try any other kernel or use set cpu or no frills to set up the kernel for optimum battery
That, or your battery may just be shot. You can buy one for it off the internet: I'm rockin' a 5300 mah for this.
