[Q] Need help with installing custom ROM

DarkFamiliarity · Feb 16, 2014

So I got a used Atrix 2, and the previous owner had installed an SBF (or whatever it is) over all his previous rooted stuff.
So it's fully clean/legit now.
What I want to do is install kitkat on this phone (jealousy got to me) and I'm pretty pissed off for not getting the new features of the auto-updatable phones (Ex. Nexus 5).
May I please request a full guide on installing a custom ROM on this phone, from the beginning?
(Including the bootmenu installation, rooting the phone, etc.)
I'm requesting a guide that's 100% FAILSAFE as I value this phone and I don't want to waste so much money on achieving a bricked phone.
I need it from the basics from rooting and stuff, to SAFELY installing a GOOD STABLE build of kitkat 4.4.
Thanks a lot to all of you in advance.
My phone is running stock 4.0.4 ROM. No root, no hacks yet.
Thanks a LOT to this community.
I understand there are many risks, but really I want this to happen.

Very helpful, thanks.
After I tried searching, I have posted this. Many have included complex instructions. There are many methods too which I (obviously) don't know which is the safest.
Thanks for your helpful input! -_-

If the instructions are had to understand you shouldn't be flashing your phone because you will end up in a brick..like i did a long time back when i was lazy to read and understand..u wont find any simpler tutorials than those around in the forum..

Hey man here is the step by step process.
First make sure you have correct drivers installed on your computer. Then install Kingo android root on your computer. Plug in your atrix and press root simple as that. http://www.kingoapp.com/android-root.htm
Second thing you need to do is download the BMM (Boot Menu Manager) from the google play store and thats it... (before you download BMM check on the you tube how to set it up and how to use it to flesh custom roms...
I hope i helped i know from the experience that atrix 2 guys are not very friendly to the noobs.

The only thing you'll need to do is just set up the system 4 partition and you're good to go.:thumbup:

It's recommended that you only use systems 1, 3, 4, 5, & 6 for flashing. That being said, I personally have never tried to flash anything on system 2 so I don't know what the repercussions would, or even could, be.

I just noticed this...

On the contrary, I feel as though encouraging a person to read and expand their knowledge is indeed friendly. After all, there is a reason for the old saying, "If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day. Teach him to catch a fish and you'll feed him for a lifetime". :thumbup:

I have flashed a Moto Defy with ICS 4.0.4 CM9 before, but I screwed up and had to flash an SBF..
I don't want to screw up like last time.
