Motorola has started rolling out the Android 4.0 update for Atrix 2 users in India this morning. The update is available over-the-air and via company’s update program.
Dubbed as version 672.1.18.MB865.AsiaRetail.EN.03, the update is 257MB in size. Due to such a big size, it is better to download it on a Wi-Fi network unless you have sufficient amount of data balance.
The update brings all the ICS goodness including revamped interface, resizable widget, better multitasking, and improved performance.
We are looking for the complete change-log, and will update the post once available.
Motorola Atrix 2 was originally released in the country this March and being sold for price around INR 21,000.
Thanks Murali
I’m so happy. After such a long wait, it’s finally here. I’ve already started the download. Hope the update is good. Cheers!!!
i also started downloading update since 3hrs and still it is taking time..
I downloaded it. But somehow i feel it has made my Atrix 2 rather slow.
Rahul, please take backup and try to do factory reset….I did the same and working fine now, but facing some issue with Temple Run and Racing Moto games. Downloaded from market.

I am facing some problems with the ICS update. In “Talking Tom” application, background is blurred (i.e noticed some shaded colors are moving). In “Temple Run” game, i feel grpahics are blurred and hiccups are more while running the app.
after an hour of downloading its gets failed while installation…
my atrix 2 is better with ics..updated yesterday morning..took time but very satisfied with this update…
I have not received the update yet. About phone > System Updates still shows 29.1 MB critical update available. Carrier: Vodafone Mumbai. Restarted the phone and I am on GB 2.3.6 55.1.27.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03. What should I do??
I am facing same problem with my Atrix2
Update out in Mumbai
Still not showing! :@
I am trying to Update my Atrix2 but it gives me same old critical update as 55.28.37en.03(29MB). Please help on this.
Updated yesterday. Did get stuck in between but xda-developers clues helped. Far superior than the existing GB with Blur. Much more subtle interface. Love the blue fonts in black background. Much more closer to ICS stock, smooth and better battery life. However, surprised to see that although mobile standby, phone idle and android OS itself consuming less power, the screen is showing to have consumed power even at very low brightness. Will have to wait and see. Overall, worth it. Just the other day was complaining about failure to play fm radio on spkphone even after inserting hdphones. Fixed in this version.
downloaded the update….installation is done but the phone is not booting up now….it is stuck at “android is being upgraded” “starting applications”….
plzz advice….should i try taking out the battery and rebooting the device…??
Hai.. I’m having the same problem here.. It’s been almost 1 hour and a half in that screen.. What did you do to get rid of it.. Can you tell me how you fix the problem ?
Successfully updated yesterday itself. Some glitch but go sorted out through some general gyan on xda-developers. Couldn’t wait after all the “leak” feedback. Some early feedback:
First things first, the interface is far better that the existing GB gaudy bulr UI. This one is less of blur and more of stock ICS. very smooth and attractive. Love the blue font in black background theme. Really appealing.
Batter life is better but for one strange behaviour, although one day is too short for any observation. The mobile standby, phone idle and android OS itself consumes less power than before but surprisingly the screen is showing to have consumed lot more power, eventhough I run it at 10% or at most 25% brightness. Strange!
Comes with SmartActions. Haven’t tried it though. some good widgets too.
Overall a nice feeling and worth it. Just the other day, was complaining that FM radio does not play through loudspeaker even if the headphones are plugged in. Got fixed here – great.
Although it said that you cannot go back to GB and I had initially decided to wait and see general feedback before upgrading, could not wait.
i havnt had recieved the update, even tried manually…kindly help
I have same problem. Update me.
Update with the critical 29.1 MB file, after installing and rebooting with the 29.1 MB update, it will show ICS update. This is the workaround. You need to install the previous update it seems, if you already haven’t done so once.
No update in vellore tamil nadu
can some one post how much RAM does the ics use when only system applications are running?
840
For rooted devices Install the stock image file 5.5.1-EDEM-28-37-SEARET_cfc.xml.zip from here using Motorola RSD Lite and retry OTA.
*will erase the data on your device.
