Hi pels, i got an Atrix 2 MB865 international. I mean, not-AT&T

So, i was trying to convert it to ME865 to flash MIUI, and also, have the 4GB internal storage.

So, if i flash an ME865 firm into my MB865, will this convert the model of the phone?

In case of flash the firm, i will flash one of these firms, The retail china, or The retail Hong Kong:

A person that i just met on Internet told me that he did that, but, i don't know if i can trust him.


Btw, in case that i want back to ICS, what should i do with that fxz? I don't know how to use it. The first time, when i installed miui, and want to go back to ics i flashed de ics leak, but that hard bricked my phone. And i have to pay to they can fix my phone. They changed the motherboard. Or at least that what they told me.

Flash the china retail fxz..then flash miui..your phone will then show me865 when connected to a pc..you can always use searet or mearet ics fxz again which both are mb865..i have done it on my mb865 in india a couple of times..no bricks for me..however its ur phone your risk:rolleyes:

When you say 'China retail fxz' you mean the firmware?
And, supossing that i install miui. Just flashing the firmware again with rsdlite will work?

I can't install it. I flashed de firm with RSD. The phone reboot, everything ok. Starts the boot animation, the 'M' logo, with the waves. Then, the animation stop, and the 'M' logo is static. And, stays like that. I left the phone for a while, because i know the first boot takes a litte bit more time, than the other ones. But, i left it like 10 minutes, and nothing happens.

Every time I try to flash the China firmware, it just fails the flash damn near instantly. Do I need a specific version of RSDLite or something? If possible, could someone link me to everything I need? (except the firmware, the OP posted that :p )

I don't know if it matters or not, my atrix 2 is the at&t variant.
