Custom Kernel with SafeStrap3 - Motorola Atrix HD

Hey guys. I was going to ask if anyone has tried the Razr HD build of CM10 yet, since Atrix HD boots Razr firmware, but then I realized that comes with CM kernel. Since we dont have unlocked bootloader, just SS3, can we even load custom kernels? Thanks.
OH, PS, if anyone tries CM10 for Razr, share your experience!

I tried cm10 (against my better judgement) and nothing really bad happened, just got stuck on the boot screen. Also to your question, no we can not use custom kernels.

I can confirm what SirHoover said, except I got into a loop where my backlight flashes until it reboots me into SafeStrap3

[Q][DEV] Kexec in new safestrap 2.10 how can we use it?

Hi, guys.
I'm trying to figure out how I can integrate it, basically, for stock safe-system at least.
I downloaded some ready-to-go droid bionic cm9 with kexec integrated, didn't understand the idea of devtree(probably it's patched). Should we compile kexec for ourself with modules? where can I read about it?
Thanks,
Oleg
Might want to check out the Eternity Project website. Kholk seems to be based there and I know he did a lot of the early work on this exploit.
Droid 4 - AOKP K1L0
I read there a little, but if hashcode can comment kexec thing, would be nice.
I saw that it tries to boot kernel when you start safe system, but still need some examples.

you're quick, downloaded already
So anyone flashed the kexec CM9 build yet? I probably won't get a chance to until this evening.

flashed, works fine. But I can't figure out why kexec doesn't boot in my motorola ics based rom
the one good thing I want to say for now - both CPU cores are working fine.

Sorry for my noobish question, but I have no idea what Kexec is or what it can do.
Would someone mind giving a quick summary?
Thanks!

Kexec is the future for D4 ROMs. It is an exploit that allows the flashing of custom built kernels. No more trying to build ROMs around Moto's stock kernel.

I think I saw via hashcode's twitter that the camera is the main problem area on the kexec builds.

Also having quite a difficult time getting gapps to flash. Pulled the 0429 build from goo-im and flashed multiple times but it's never present in the apps list. never seen this before hmmmmm
edit -- got it this (3rd) time, very strange but oh well.
Can anybody try to boot kexec kernel in the eclipse or my rom?
Tried to replace kernel modules, added kexec folder, no luck with booting.
Need to do something with ramdisk, I tried some changes, got cycle reboot after kexec load. Will continue

Possibly dumb question

I am rooted on 4.1.1
Can I install safestrap and install custom ROMs?
If yes does the ROM have to use the same kernel that is on my phone already?
I have done standard recovery ROMs on my prior phones but have zero experience with locked boot loaders and custom ROMs. I was under the impression that with root I can modify system files but can't change the kernel???? Or am I way off?
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Yea but there are custom roms build from your stock rom. There are also CM builds but without kexec or an unlocked bootloader there is stuff broken. Dont forget to donate for unlocked bootloaders, we need it bad!

That's what I was thinking I just wanted to make sure before bricking my phone.
So I can install safestrap and then install.... say the joker ROM ...... or any other ROM built on the stock one but my mileage may vary.
And if I'm reading about safestrap right it doesn't overwrite stock it merely boots along side it.... kind of like a dual boot PC but using the same kernel? And if I want to OTA I can because stock is still intact?
Oh, and I was first to donate on the bounty

Right on man. Create a rom slot and it never touches stock partition. Joker is good, but the rom I am working on now. It will be amazing
Installed safestrap, check.
Downloaded JokerROM and gApps, check.
Backup of stock, check.
New ROM slot, check.
Flashed JokerROM, check.
Doubling my bounty offer for BL unlock, check.
Loving my much faster Atrix, to be continued.
Thanks to all who contributed to at least having this ability so far!

[Q] [XT860] Anyone succeed installing CM10.1? (Getting Bootloops)

I tried following the instructions from the CM website, but keep getting bootloops. Right after the Safestrap splash, it blanks the screen and starts over with the Motorola logo.
I'm using:
Droid3 Safestrap 3.05
ROM Slot 1
cm-10.1-20130406-NIGHTLY-solana.zip (and also tried 20130312)
JB-XT860_FIX.zip
gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
I flash the three zips all in one action.
Does anyone have an XT860 running CM10.1, and if so, did you do something different? Thanks!
Same problem here.
Searching
I've run additional searches since posting... I only find others who reported the same problem with no subsequent replies. I guess I should reword subject: Is anyone successfully running this ROM on an XT860?
Try not flashing the patch (jb_xt860_fix)

Good concept; I hadn't tried it that way before... unforunately, it still bootloops, now that I've tried it. I also tried without the Gapps, and it does the same bootloop. Was there anything else you did with your install to make it work?

In HashCode's CM10.1 thread, he links to a post about enabling GSM. That post has the XT860 patch I used.

I am having this exact problem with my XT860. I've tried installing CM10.1 and AOKP with no luck. Minimoto works just fine though...

I've since also tried AOKP and also an AOKP-based PACMAN ROM for the Droid 3... nothing JellyBean working, basically. I haven't tried any ICS stuff yet... that may be next.
Similar problem with mine. But had some success.
HashCode's older JB 4.1.2 works for the XT860 with the patch: KEXEC-cm-10-20121215-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip
On his more recent builds, not much luck. But here is what happened. I wiped, installed without patch, let it boot loop about 20 times, then it finally booted into CM10.1. It works, but I do not get GSM signal. Restarted, still bootloops. So, not stable at all.
I have no idea why letting it run through multiple boot loops eventually boots into the system. Can't think of anything that would change in each boot.
Just running MiniMoto on my XT860 overclocked to 1.2Ghz and am happy with it. I don't need anything on JB, and the camera works, lol.
Hopefully that helps a bit.
If you really want to, you can buy a XT862 off ebay for about $150 now and then just sell your XT860.

And get different bugs.
The CM10.1 nightly boot on my XT862, GSM data works again now after a recent spate of not working. However no 10.1 build has allowed me to receive phone calls. The phone app crashes on incoming calls.
Data works, outgoing calls work, incoming CRASH.

cant flash any razr hd/photon q roms

i dont understand it i cant flash gummy,slimkat,or any razr/photon q even if there ported for the atrix hd i can flash cm 11,cyanfox i dont know if other people have had this problem but if there is someone having this problem it may help them,i am running philz touch 6.0.45
Nothing wrong with phone i guess. Is just some atrix hd phones just dont like any aosp base roms. I guess it will be fix once we get an official update which is coming right after all the new droids phones hype.

[Q] need help with installing a ROM, what am i doing wrong?

I couple months ago i got my Atrix HD rooted and the guy said all i have to do now is download the roms and flash them. He gave me the procedure which i follow to the neck and it has worked. Now the problem i have is that im trying to upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.4 (kitkat) but all the custom ROMS fail, i tried the same with a PAC 4.3 rom which worked partially as the apps kept malfunctioning ("blame tyler XYZ has stopped working"). Is it because im using CWM instead of TWRP and if not someone please tell me what am i missing. i really want a stable 4.4 ROM :crying:
Which ROM are you trying to flash? You might be flashing the nightlies after 06/30. After that date, cyanogenmod and others started using the KitKat bootloader for the unified msm8690 builds, the processor architecture that a lot of moto phones share. Unfortunately, the atrix HD hasn't been officially upgraded to KitKat yet from Motorola. Our atrix HD uses the jelly bean bootloader.
So since 6/30, when they switched to the KitKat bootloader, we haven't been able to flash nightlies (with exceptions in AOSB and some CM and CarbonROM builds).
Try flashing a KitKat rom built before 6/30, then get back to us. It should work if you're using cwm, since I'm using cwm 6.0.4.4 and it works fine.
If you flashed the latest cwm that could cause problems too, since I read its also running off the KitKat bootloader.

CWM works well on the Atrix HD so I would stick with that.
Why not start over by flashing back to stock ATT 4.1.1, take the OTA update, flash CWM in fastboot, and flash a custom KK ROM?

Not a bad idea. Takes time but not much. Try team gummy for 4.4.2 ROM here, make sure you download the M2.0 release, because the M3.0 is KitKat bootloader. Its my daily driver cuz it's light and has pie controls. http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Gummy/moto_msm8960/RELEASE/
99% of the ROMs i've installed haven't worked....I got AOSB to work once....but its not working at all now...I got PXS to boot but kept having FCs.....now nothing gets past the boot logo

FYI, as of a few days ago, CyanogenMod started officially supporting devices still on the JB bootloader (which includes the Atrix HD). See here: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=moto_msm8960_jbbl
It's what I'm running, and it's great.
Also, if you're having trouble flashing, try using Philz recovery version 6.43.8 (not any later versions). Not sure if CWM supports some of these ROMs or not.

Yes, but I was just trying to say that I know that version of Philz is up to date, and works with KitKat roms. Not sure what version of CWM you were using, or where the support falls. Just a suggestion if you were having issues.

I am using the 6.0.4.4 version directly from the Clockworkmod website. I have been using it to flash the latest ROMs with no issues at all. Backup, restore, formatting, etc. work fine in the non-Philz version.
I must admit that Philz is convenient because it automates a lot of functions.
