Root Stock AT&T 4.5.91 (2.3.4 Gingerbread) unrooted w/ locked bootloader

[INFO]

• 
  Download root image HERE

• 
  Download ADB-Fastboot package HERE

• 
  Unzip the contents of ADB-Fastboot package and root image to your C: Drive under a new folder titled root

• 
  Turn off your device

• 
  Hold down the power button and downward volume button until you see ?Fastboot? on your screen ? Push the upward volume button to start it

[/INFO]

[INFO] cd C:\root

• Your phone will reboot. Once complete, ensure USB Debugging is enabled

• Select "None" for USB mode. After link is made, return to command prompt and enter these:

[INFO] adb shell
/preinstall/dosu (You will see this error, but that is ok: "bash: groups: command not found root@localhost:/#")
There are deliberate spaces between some of the paths and the / in this next section
/bin/mount /system -o remount,rw
cp /preinstall/su /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su

If Superuser is already installed, this part may fail. If you do not already have it and this part fails, download it from the Market.

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?

No, you need your phone "Carrier unlocked" also known as SIM unlock. Many cell phone stores will do this for a few bucks, or websites online can get you the code. When you put a different phone provider's SIM in and boot your phone it asks for the unlock code, if you got it from a site online that's where you'd enter it.

Are there instructions and applicable files for rooting through a Mac. And then, for re-stating the Mobile Hotspot capabilities available before latest update.

Thanks in advance.

Superuser must be installed first, prior to doing all the steps?

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

I am new to android, have never rooted one. I have an atrix, I got one week ago new with 2.2 froyo on it, I upgraded to 4.5.91 gingerbread. My question is do I use these instructions to root mine, or is something different because I have already upgraded once?

Any help is appreciated
Chris

this root method is mainly for if you did upgrade to 2.3.4. I did and it worked just fine.

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

OK thanks for the reply. I've been reading about it, so as long as I don't try to downgrade later everything is fine?

do you still need to unlock the bootloader manually after this root method.

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.

Can you post a link, and as someone else asked does this unlock the boot loader.
