Re: Root - Stock AT&T 4.5.91 (2.3.4 Gingerbread) unrooted w/ lock

I am chomping at the bit to root my Atrix, but like others have asked. Is there a way to unroot this in the future for ota updates?

Re: Root - Stock AT&T 4.5.91 (2.3.4 Gingerbread) unrooted w/ lock

I too only rooted my Atrix for sideload purposes. Right now I'm back to stock Gingerbread and have no reason to root. Don't get me wrong I'm a rootaholic but with the lack of good custom ROM's for the Atrix I really see no reed to root it. I know there are half baked ROM's out there but I have no interest in them. I also would like to see Clockwork recovery on the Atrix. I guess when Cyanogen figures out how to get the official Cyanogenmod to the Atrix I'll hold off on rooting for now. The only thing I would like to do right now is screen capture but that withing itself isn't reason enough for me to root.

I believe CWM is available. There's a thread on xda that has an automated script to unlock bl, root, enable tethering, enable webtop hack, and install CWM all in one package.

When I enter the second command fastboot flash preinstall root.img I get 'fastboot' is not an operable internal or external command. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Just a note: I had to change back to the root directory before typing in:
adb shell
/preinstall/dosu

Other than that it worked perfect! Thanks!

Re: Root - Stock AT&T 4.5.91 (2.3.4 Gingerbread) unrooted w/ lock

When i run the first command in fastboot i get this

C:\root>fastboot flash preintall root.img
sending 'preintall' (32768 KB)... OKAY [ 2.113s]
writing 'preintall'... FAILED (remote: (00030003))
finished. total time: 2.113s

You need to check your spelling. It is preinstall not preintall. You forgot the s in install.

Can anybody tell me if you can unroot later on, and what are the steps in doing so. I am a beginner rooting. Thx

You can unroot by restoring your phone to factory settings. There should be no reason to unroot though.

 

[z3r0s0ulz]

Re: Root - Stock AT&T 4.5.91 (2.3.4 Gingerbread) unrooted w/ lock

so I just go to the phone settings and hit factory reset, and I shouldn't have issue of bricking or anything.

I tried downloading the files last night and I didn't had any luck. My Toshiba is 3 years old running on Vista. I tried using my other computer running on Windows 7 and didn't had luck either. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

I can't see any reason why not, unless your not upzipping it to the folder correctly and the command prompt isn't showing up...

 

[Nickwv87]

After days and hours of finding out how to put Superuser on my phone I finally did it last night!!! I'm new to this, but is there a way I can change AT&T on the upper left corner to something else or change my statusbar?

I'm in the Air Force and I ended up being stationed in Guam. I would like to use my Atrix with one of the local cell phone companies would this be the correct thing to do to be able to use my Atrix with another cell phone company?

When you plug in the phone into the USB port, pull down the notification bar, tap the USB connection notice, make sure its set to NONE.
