A bunch of threads contain information for unlocking, but I only want to root atm. I tried many of the steps listed but not sure if I have to use the RSD lite , CM stuff etc....

Tried this link : http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root
but on step 6 i get bBash: groups: command not found"
Done a whole bunch of searching. I know that Atrix 2's have 1 click roots out there, are our phones not that easy to jsut root?

Nope, doesn't work.
I also have a 2.4.6 version and have the same issue, and I fixed it recently, just see my post:

Damn. Sorry. The atrix is confirmed to be working, but it doesn't say which version is confirmed. Worth a shot.
Even with that error, keep following the instructions. I used the same guide, kept going even after it saying command not found and I still got rooted.

Lucky for me I have the only version of the Note 2 with a locked Bootloader from "BigRed". i came here to ask for assistance because I want to use my device to its full potential but I definately do not want to brick my device or harm it in anyway.
What I am confused about is the whole process of unlocking the boot loader and rooting. I have read extensively on how to do both but I don't know what process I need to do first. Do I root first and then unlock the boot loader?? Or Vice Versa??
I am also skeptical about some of the Boot loader Unlock methods I see floating around online. I have read up on a couple different ways to do it but when reading the comments under the tutorial article it seems there are alot of unhappy Note 2 owners that were not successful with the methods What I am asking here is if someone can point me to the CORRECT way to unlock the boot loader with the most up to date information regarding the latest update Verizon has put out. If I can be pointed to a good article on the correct way to root the device that would be even better.
I obviously know there is no "fail safe" way of going about doing this and completely understand all the risks. I just want to minimize those risks. Especially on a $600+ device!
Thank you for any help that is offered!!
A little tip for you. I've found is best to just stick strictly to xda for guides like this. Most those random guides steal the work of the hard working devs here. I've seen a lot of bricks of people just following one if them.
Here is the only way to unlock. It's easier then it looks.

^ what he said :good:
i used that method literally 2 days ago. it's really simple. just click and follow instructions. just follow the guide and you can even watch the youtube video of someone doing it before you do. once you have the bootloader unlocked and twrp flashed (one you finish the guide you will have twrp installed) you can hold the power volume up and home button while the device is off to boot into recovery (twrp). from there before you do anything i would recommend flashing the latest twrp and then you can go ahead and flash whatever roms you want. probably gunna want to stick with clean rom. it's basically stock rom with all the scum removed and a lot of root tools added.
Can I piggyback here?
My similar question is that when I got my phone 2 weeks ago the Verizon salesperson did THE UPDATE when he setup my phone. My system says I have 4.1.1 but otherwise I have not done a thing to it. Do you need to know the kernal version?... Which steps do I use to unlock and root to Cleanmod? Thanks.

you'll want to unlock with the jailbreak method, very good instructions, there's even a video to walk u thru it.

use the method linked above! It works for both firmware versions that are currently available.
also very easy given that you follow the instructions
As others have said, follow the directions. Go slowly, measure twice and cut once. Then you can start feeding the ROM flashing addiction.
Hello again all, I just have a few questions about rooting my sprint gn2 before i get started. I have found several instructional guides through xda (thanks to all that post them would be lost without ya!) however i am concerned because i am running the new updated version that some of these methods may cause me some issues. I suppose my question is most of these guides were made quite some time ago, and this update has only been around a few months now, is it safe to follow for example this guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9zF6x1MURM&hd=1&list=SPwCVKEYxr_z7FBQYT32dbYw_kdSJmSDH2Do I need to revert back to a prior update somehow? I have searched for a few hours now and there does not seem to be much information on rooting the device after the latest update. Looking forward to running custom roms thanks for the help.
PS if there is anything you think i should know before starting feel free to chime in i will definitely send a thanks your way!
PSS I see that 4.3 locks down the bootloader completely.... this is bull****...... Anyone know whether the phone i get through insurance when i "break" my phone would come loaded with 4.3 as well?

You should check the sprint forums and maybe this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591523.
Edit: I'm not sure all about kingo so I can't give any suggestions.
Thank you, I had read about kingoroot and am sure that is the route i will be taking (as it is my only choice) however would i still be able to backup using twrp? will i still be able to flash custom roms? these are really the only two things i care for doing.. and running root only apps like titanium backup but that is a given. Thanked for your help btw.
Cheers

That I'm not sure. You would no longer have unlocked bootloader and I always thought the two ways to have custom recovery were if bootloader was unlocked or via a safestrap method. You would have root so I'd check and see if recoveries exist for sprint note ii after this root method of 4.3
I believe you would be unable to flash a new rom/kernel as they require a custom recovery to do so, and with out a unlocked boot loader you wouldn't be able to get a custom recovery.

+1... go to the Sprint forum for the best answer. Each carrier's version on the phone is slightly different.

Nice work.
Today i managed to root my Note N-7105 4.4.2 NE3 without dripping KNOX - i used Ghettoroot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...t-adb-ghettoroot-v0-1-towelroot-port-t2864125)!!!
It worked perfectly - on two N7105.
Now i´m happy i finally can modify the phone so i can write on external SD-Card again.

But you were able to install a Connection via ADB?
My Problem was to get ADB working. Finally after some time the phone asked me to authorize the Computer.
After i checked always to remember this pc the ADB-Connection was established.
I tried adb devices and the Serial of my phone appeared.
After this i just tried the Ghettoroot (from posting 27) - and it worked at once.
