Starting over with the Atrix HD - Motorola Atrix HD

OK guys (if there is any Atrix user left). I purchased the Atrix HD on the 1st day it was released. A few years later, after the volume buttons stopped working, I bricked it I'm starting over.
So, I purchased a refurb Atrix HD for $20, but I'm starting over. I wanted to flash up to a more current version of Android, but the phone already has JB on it. I guess it was upgraded in the refurb process, idk.
1. Will a factory reset get me back to ICS? Or does anybody have the stock ICS rom I can flash with Myth. I'd like to get a custom Rom back on it. It's been so long since starting from square one.
2. I found this out yesterday, when I had the Atrix in the cardock for GPS use and the phone is in Landscape, I can't see the screen with my sunglasses. I suppose it has to do with the polarized sunglasses (I had this issue with my Nexus 5). But, my original Atrix HD did not have this issue. I used it for years in the cardock in Landscape mode without issues. Why would this phone be different?
Thanks for any continued help.

You will need ICS firmware to restore, factory reset on JB will just remove user data only. I still prefer JB and just flashed back to Mexican Retail FW couple days ago

Droid X Full SBF release

initial from story DROID LIFE.com thanks kellex
forgot to mention this is for 2.2
http://rootzwiki.com/
So now that w ehave the 2.2 SBF, is it pretty much safe for us on 2.2 OTA to use the custom ROM's on here (w/ Koush's bootstrap)?
OP, actually, it was RELEASED in this very foum. MODs killed it this morning. Guess they were afraid of the C & D. If you were on here about midnight EST last night..... you had it before it even hit the tor's

Cool, thanks. And yeah I downloaded it earlier just to have it (did the same thing with the 2.1 SBF, so i should be pretty set).
so will this allow a direct upgrade from the 2.2 leak to the 2.2 official?
I'm still seeding if anyone cares.
It will"flash" your phone to the ota with the new kernel, baseband etc. So yes to answer ur question. This is the same utility file used by "technicians" in store to recover or reset devices. Our equivalent of a ruu I guess. Be sure you have the latest rds lite 4.8 I think. Also make sure ur drivers are up to date.

It works
I used this earlier today after I started getting some force closes when I used the battery manager and other odd behavior after I rooted. Once it did what it needed to I did a factory reset and now I'm back to factory and the battery stats fc issue is fixed.

I would give the Battery Stats FC issue some time before you say it's fixed. It's a known issue with the OTA and Moto acknowledged it so sorry to burst your bubble, but it'll come back. It's off and on and seems random.
Nice leak. Now Dx development can proceed in earnest. I needed this badly. Seeding now...

Agree with avlfive... I can basically toggle the Battery STats FC by rebooting my phone.
Moto has acknolwedged it, like he said, and has given NO timetable on a fix. They just say it's slated for a "future release"

Should be safe. All warnings are related to custom/leaked ICS kernels, not the official.
In short, Keep it stock and you will be fine.
P.S. Thats the normal method of flashing stock roms anyhow.
Good Luck
I just followed this guide to the letter and it worked fine. I have a Uk O2 Note 16Gb.
Little update. After 6 hours of using this I havent had any issues that I have notices. Camera works, S Note installed, powered off and on a few times to be sure, lock screen working fine and new functions of ICS seem fine.
would this work with i717r from rogers in canada. i tried the att rom but my keyboard was like super duper slow. and i had to wait for the keyboard to catch up to me.
Dont know if it would work on your note or not. After a day mine so far is 100% ok. Did you do the wipe after instal? I noticed in the instructions it suggests it will run slow until you do that. I done it straight away so dont know how slow it would run without doing it.

Do not try to flash it on I717, you'll end up with a hard-brick.

[Q] New 8.9 owner amd noob needs help rooting

So i got the 8.9 last week and am pretty happy so far. My main uses are internet surfing and hd videos from youtube and play store. However one of my only complaints is that this thing isnt the fastest. I upgraded to official ics when i first got the tab and its not bad but still id like to install Asop jellybean and overclock the tab to 1.2 or 1.4. However id hate to brick my tab which i see on here all the time. The only problem is i have no idea how to root, even after reading and searching for the past week. My question is could some one tell me or show me a link to show EXACTLY how to root to the newest asop jb from official ics without bricking and then tell me how to oc it? I am such a noob with this, I dont know what kernels or anything is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure how missed this thread in the list. It's stickied at the very top.

Good thing i didn't go a head and try to root. I have official ics installed and apparently you have to flash so,e cmw rom or something but i have no idea how to do that, i have searched the forums and all the instructions are just kind of bland and not real specific. Sad as it is, i am someone who needs exact instructions and explanations of how to specifically complete each instruction. Sorry that i am being a pain. I just bought thus tab on a amazon credit card and have not even, ade the first payment that is why I am so worried about bricking or messing up the tab. Thanks for any help

Hmm. I'd be careful recommending ROMs just yet. He hasn't mentioned which model of 8.9 Tab he has.
Given that he mentions he's already on ICS I'd assume he's probably got a wifi-only P7310. He doesn't mention any other radio types (3G, LTE, etc.).
@Wrebbs, what model 8.9 tab do you have?

I have the wifi only, 7310. Thanks for taking the time to help with this
I've tried various roms and liked cm10 very much. Had to flash stock 3.2 via odin to get rid of the garbled screen issue and decided to try update OTA to ics that worked and i'm running stock ics on my dutch 7310 now this works fairly well, so i am going to wait untill the battery drain issue is being fixed on cm10 and try again then

Not happy with the stock ICS version of the Tab? Did it upgrade over kies? Are you in the US? I am in Europe and have the 3G version. Have to use a ported rom from 7500 to get ICS.
The ICS I have runs really smooth! Price was good aswell. Strange that your TAB is slow...
Only problem I have is that Adobe Flash gives me some trouble in HD and on some sites.
I tried HC 3.2 Stock, CM10 JB 4.1, SafariKing ICS and ported ICS from 7500 v2 and honestly - If I had stock original ICS I think I would stay with it! The Jellybean ROMs still have issues. in Alpha Beta stages.
The Tracid rom mentioned might be the next rom I try, but still happy with the ICS rom I have. If it aint broke don't fix it... (Itchy though, flashing roms is fun.)
Take it from someone whos hard bricked before, take your time and do your homework. Make sure you know the rom is for your specific device. You're not going to see drastic speed increases even if oc'd. So take your time and re-read everything. Your going to have to flash a recovery first, cwm or twrp through odin. Again, make sure it's for your device. Then you can root or flash a rooted rom. Once again, make sure it's for your device.

Ok then, I have a question. You can see I posted a thread earlier using another method from LifeHacker, how do I go about getting this one instead?
i posted a link to a youtube video how-to
Guess this only works for deodexed roms or deodexed versions of stock ics roms?
Worked great. Rooted Stock OTA ICS on Droid 4. However, it says there is an update available, and play store will not install it.
Any idea how to get it?
EDIT: Ok, Most of it worked great, right up until I tried to use my blutooth headset to initiate a call. The voice recognition here was all messed up. Nothing I tried worked, and I tried for 3 days to get a solution. Because I use this function so often, I had to remove this and go back to the standard ICS search. Also noticed it was a serious battery drain. Unfortunate. I really liked it.

Phones giving me major problems ever since rooting

Ever since i rooted my phone i have been having and noticing more problems or getting worse and i am just wondering if it is because i rooted it, the phone itself, or maybe it was not rooted the right way or a proper way. I had a friend do it and needless to say hes off in his own little world half the time. Thats besides the point though the problems I am having are the touchscreen does not work half the time i have to tap on it a bunch of times for it to even register another one is i click apps and they will not open once again i have to keep hitting them if they open at all. Apps stop working and force close all the time along with the whole phone just freezing up on me. The keyboard doesnt work half the time and usually when something wont work it will just force close on me. I thought when i rooted my pphone it was gonna work better and be faster but so far i have had nothing but problems and i have had 6 maybe 7 roms flashed onto it and every single one the same thing. before it wasnt great but now it frustrates me so much i wanna just throw it out the window. Any help would be greatly appreciated and im a newbie at this so if you could explain things to me id once again appreciate it.
Rooting a phone gives you access to system files and should not affect the phone functions. Did you do anything after rooting? I think you need to find out how it was rooted.
Perhaps you could tell us which process you used to root?
sent from my PACman Atrix HD
Best way to troubleshoot this is by unrooting the phone by using the RsdLite tool to go stock again. Then go to the Original Developer section and download the rooting method by djrbliss to start over. Thats how i always fix my problems
Sent from my Atrix HD using ProBAM rom and XDA 4 Premium
I bet your issues would be resolved if you flashed a custom ROM. If you don't want to do that though, then you can just RSD Lite back to stock Jellybean. WARNING: You need to look up Myth Tools and use it to unlock your bootloader before you attempt flashing anything of any kind. I have seen several on this forum hard brick due to trying RSD Lite on locked bootloaders.
thank you everyone for the advice i had no idea i could turn my phone back stock i am going to do that now and follow the instructions to re root it that is exactly what i wanted thank you. I have tryed everything my latest rom is pacbam which is nice i like it alot but it still messes up after that i flashed a better kernel and pure performance i found it in the thread of PacBam but they havent done much.
The name of the rom is ProBam my bad
Stick with ProBAM kernel as it works great. All you have to do is to tweak the phone with CrossBreeder and Android Tweaker Mod for play store. Get Init support and your phone will fly

I posted something earlier about my phone being stuck at the bootload unlocked screen and i came back to this post to try to go back to stock while i wait for a response so maybe ill have a phone but I was using ProBam and that gave me problems also i am now wondering at this point if its just my phone but you said to get CrossBreeder and Android Tweaker what are those exactly and what do they do or help?
Do you have an unlocked bootloader and cwm installed? I assume you do since you're running a custom rom.
