WARNING THIS MAY BRICK UR PHONE,
I need an USA resident that has a contract with ATT for testin, for more info pm PLZ, ASAP
This will only help you guys out.
One tester that has an att contract and is willing to get a warranty replacement if it does not work, is all that is needed. The process was verified on the RAZR and we did something similar on the Atrix2.
If this works you might be able to go back to ICS from JB to root and use something like root keeper to get JB back, just a thought here.
And yes I know most of you do not know me, but I was one of the Devs on the Atrix2, and I am now a free agent so to speak while waiting for the Ubuntu Phone OS to drop, so I am just trying to help a few of you out here, and triloger asked me to take a look at this with him.
There are no guarantees, but this is worth a shot.
As jim said its worth giving a shot
...
..im here
inbox for all the instructions
...
..got it
Thank you testers! I would offer too if my phone were not already on jb.
The DROID RAZR HD XT926 CAN go back to ICS as the secure version did NOT increase in the Jellybean update.
On the Atrix HD, it has increased for the official Jellybean.
Thread CLOSED
Hope lost...
...
..not yet, im still trying to get that ota
well try out best to get this workin
So you guys are still working on it? Or figuring out a new method?

@TTLayLand
...hey bro talk to triloger for further details
I tried downgrading, to no avail. I upgraded to JellyBean 4.1.1 via OTA and lost root (whoops), so I tried flashing back to ICS 4.0.4. It wouldn't let me, so I decided to reflash ICS a few more times. Nothing bad happened until the last try, which bricked my phone. I'll confirm (for now) that you unfortunately cannot go back to ICS from JB on an AT&T Atrix HD. :C
I dont know if he is even working on a method anymore....
I would donate if I knew he was capable/willing to figure out how to root or roll back the AHD.

Hey guys I wanted to ask a question and see what kind of feedback I get
I had a nice rooted hero but had some hardware issues and Sprint was nice enough to replace my phone
However, now I have the official 2.1 update and I know I cant root my phone again (Even though Ive tried )
My question is, I still have the unofficial RUU that was released a while back that I also used but I was able to root after that update. If I use that RUU again and install it over the official RUU, will I be able to ROOT my phone again?
Im afraid to brick my phone so all your help is greatly appreciated

Unfortunately, that will not work. It won't brick your phone either, because it won't let it flash the rom.
thanks for the info. that sucks. does anyone think we will be able to root the 2.1 soon? I miss my old phone..

I'm not quite sure what you mean by unlocked in your first question. but to answer your second question: thrillz gb will not work with v20p. You'll have to flash something like v20c.
Unlocked and Jailbreak is an iPhone thing !
Please speak slowly to him,......he just came from an iPhone.
No, you will not have to unlock or Jailbreak every time you do a
rom upgrade. Although sometimes you may have to re-root the phone, it
is a very easy process.
Thanks,
Dwayne
PS; Just leave your thrill stock for now until the awesome team of Dev's
on here come up with some fixes for V20P. That will make it simplest for you.

Hey, just wait till the end of this week, Flash V20P KDZ and run the Biohazard Rom... Youll be happy if you .o
PS: Battery life sucks no matter what
thaxs
well thanks 4 your help
i guess ill do that... but how long does battery lasts?? i think i can live recharging once a day
Your lucky if the batt on this phone lasts a day with moderate use.
You can always buy one of those 3500 mah batteries on ebay for like 15-20
bucks. and get about 75% more life.

This is not the thread you are looking for. // Obi-Wan Kenobi
These threads are for the original Droid 1 and Milestone 1.
ps.: ALWAYS make a nandroid backup before messing around with your phone.
If you have Droid X, you should ask around HERE.

Did anyone tried this?
Actually here is the hope:
When my JB on XT925 something went wrong, I was able to go back to ICS 4.0.4 with the utility 1.10.
However, it will install the Verizon version of 4.0.4 on your phone, so if you are with another provider, it will say that your SIM card does not mach the current network (Verizon).
But, it will let you update to JB of your choice & install the CWM-SuperSU-v0.99 (for root) on your XT925 .
So, as a the last resort reason, you can use it on XT925.

I would try the to delete getvar from the Atrix HD ICS sdf but I'm saving up for another Honda Accord.... Being unable to root makes this phone useless but I'm not ready to give up on it just yet. I might say fu ck it and try after my daughter goes to sleep tonight.
I bricked my phone :highfive: but only after I tried to flash the Verizon Motorola Droid RAZR HD VZW_XT926_4.0.4-7.7.1Q-144_VQW_S3-34-25_CFC files. I knew what was gonna happen. I was hoping for a miracle.
RSD LITE only says "Dqhsusb_dload"
I think I'm gonna get a Galaxy S3 now.

Not a bad choice.

Why is that, I asked the RAZR HD guys and they said they can go back to ICS just fine from JB and we cant? Maybe we can find the difference in the FXZ and edit it ?

As i write here i am working on it, i am taking a look at the XML file and i am requesting external help to see if we can get it to work, so we can finally have a way to get root access for the people on JB, ill post later any update on the matter.
when I have time and solve my "storage problem" maybe I post a guide how I re obtain root on JB...
still I dont feel very confortable with this phone, just 3 custom ROMs, and the forums are very quiet just asking the same question

I await your results eagerly Sir. Becoming unrooted due to my own error was painful. I'm dying to regain root. And if I can't root I at least want the ap fastboot screen to stop appearing each reset. What exactly is different from you're new method and the old rsd methods that have you remove getvar?

well, if you use it as a phone to make actual real voice calls, Motorola is just better than the others.
Some people are ok with the JB update but for myself with a lapdock, ICS was more suited for my needs; I would go back to ICS in a heartbeat.
(I'm even close to sell the Atrix HD and get a new one, just not to update it to JB.)

Xt926 is a dev version.. But the second post shows a guy who reverted jb to ics with a xt925!
JB is freezing my phone, my shift kept no longer functions and half the things don't work. I tried to factory reset and it still has all of the same issues, none of these happened during ICS. Please help, Verizon customer.
i'm in the same boat as you, i really need ICS back, updated on accident now i can't use the hotspot app, i really don't wanna have to go on ebay and buy a stock droid 4.

and there is no guarentee buying a stock phone will have ics anyway, droid 4 originally came with GS. 2.3.6
There is no way to go back to ICS.
The Mobile Hotspot app works just fine under JB as it did under ICS and GB. The SQL database hack still works, at least it still works on mine, my wife's and my sister's D4's.

First off, rooting will void your warranty. As a user in the UK, that warranty was of no use to me anyway, but if you are a Verizon customer, then it's something to be aware of.
If you are happy with that caveat, you should be able to root your phone using the Razr Blade exploit available here... http://vulnfactory.org/public/razr_blade.zip
To get the hotspot working, you need to follow the first two steps here... http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-4-hacks/208266-how-wi-fi-tether-droid-4-a.html (the item number may differ, the important thing to look for is the Entitlement Check entry).
Hope this helps.
