Hi guys
I have a stock Atrix 2.2.2 in South Africa.
I have tried to root it more than 2 times now, to no avail.
I have tried oneclick, and gingerbreak. It runs until it says installing psneuter, and then nothing happens.
I reboot the device, and its fine........
Its almost like its not pushing the break correctly.
Can someone please help me to get my phone rooted. I want o try the Webtop Hack, i am not getting it to work on the non rooted option.
Thanks alot!
Try again, uninstall drivers if you install them, reboot computer, install them again from here: http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles...al_Drivers/MotoHelper_2.0.53_Driver_5.2.0.exe ,and reboot again.
Now, try the root again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255548
If still don't work, you can try unlock the bootloader and then you will get root easily.

But if its South Africa device, you may get a brick, non functional phone.
Gingerbreak is for you

Thanks guys for the tips
Still didnt work. I didnt try the first option as it says it is for 2.3.4. I Have 2.2.2. I have also now tried gingerbreak 1.2, same thing. It says rooting etc, but just stays there for an hour.
After i manually reboot, nothing.....
Has anyone else been experiencing this?
The one click root is for you too, read:
This method works on Motorola phones running Android OS 2.3.4 or earlier

From the top line in the link.
Don't forget to install drivers.
Another suggestion, try on other computer, other usb port.

Hello guys,
I received a notification today saying that 4.1.B.0.431 update is available for my device. When I try to update the device restarts and it seems like it is updating. then it starts up and I get a message "The software update could not be installed"
If i try again it re-downloads the update then again fails..
Anyone can tell me what might be the cause of this?
I have Neo V .562 LOCKED bootloader with root and cwm installed.
Note that my SI number is NOT in the list that is in Sony site.
Thanks in advance.

Yes.. you can reinstall after update, and your device will stay rooted
I just tried repairing .562 and then root without installing CWM, when I try to do the OTA update again the same error message pops up "new software version could not be installed". need help
EDIT: Repaired again, rooted, and didn't install or disable any app then tried the update and it worked.
Strange..
worked fine for me..
Damn! still no OTA here
No ota to me tip ,and im on the sony list

hi, are you sure your bootloader is LOCKED? or your bootloader is RELOCKED?
i have the same problem with you, the download are fine but cannot install the update, and i have RELOCKED bootloader. my phone is Xperia Neo.

No, I've never unlocked the bootloader. But I suspect Titanium backup or link2sd might be the cause because these are the only apps I installed the first time. Try removing them If you have them and try again. Or repair then root then try update before doing anything else..

This might be silly but.. have you guys tried manually checking in update center (not waiting for notification)?
Other than that, I honestly have no idea.
hello ,
i also have xperia neo v with 4.0.3 rooted. i have never involved with cwm or bootloader... just rooted.
i am trying to update to 4.0.4 via ota but at the third step the last 10 times i tried my neo just fails... and when it restarts i receive the failure message...
does anyone had the same problem and solved it?
thanks,

Doomlord's method is easy enough to unroot Do a web search and you should find the tool.

Assuming that you were only rooted and made no mods, the root wasn't the issue. Several people had issues with the XT912 when ics came out for it. I suggest wiping your cache partition and trying the update again.

what is fastboot? can you do it via recovery and will it wipe everything?
Could someone help me with this issue?
I unlocked the bootloader of my p768 a while ago, and then I sent it to the carrier service, because it was having some signal problems.
I read that, once you unlock your bootloader, you can't lock it again, so, when I got it back, it was kind of restored and today I tried to flash Clockworkmod (.img file) and when I tried to reboot it, it said "Security Error", I followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470248
And when I connected the phone to the computer, and it says that the device already has the most recent version.
What do I do? Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi @speakerstick
You need to update the recovery in the LG mobile support tool and then it should work.
Look in the top right screen and select "Support Tool Options Menu" and then select "Upgrade Recovery"

I've tried, but when it says it's uploading it to the phone it suddenly disconnects and I have to do the same process again, but the same thing happens.
What do I do?

Are you using the stock cable? If not, do so.
Have you made sure nothing else (NOTHING ELSE BUT THE NECESSARY) is connected to the other USB ports? Unplug stuff.
Do you have the drivers needed? Uninstall, redownload, reinstall.
Have you tried on another USB port?
Do you have any idea, based on the logs the program generates, about what might be wrong?
I've done it! I finally was able to do it. I uploaded it with the battery, I know the guide says you shouldn't but it worked, now... Does anyone know how to re-root the device? I unlocked the bootloader a while ago and then I sent it to service, but how do I "root" the phone again?
Thanks!

Hello,
I am for the last days trying to root the Neffos X1 Lite no success. None of the main rooting tools worked, such Kingroot, Kingoroot, Root Genius, etc.
The rooted boot image that I've downloaded from the web left the device in a bootloop with glitchs on the screen, then I've restored the stock boot imagem.
Also no CF-Autoroot zip yet.
Any ideas?

Hello, but I don't know how to do that...Could I install SuperSU through stock recovery/"update from SD Card"? I think this action will be aborted by de recovery, right?
Or maybe through the adb sideload?

Try using the stock recovery, there's no harm in giving it a try.
As to adb sideload, I never used it, therefore I have no idea about it.

Hello, I've tried with the stock recovery/update from sd card, and as I expected the action was aborted.
Does not have the adb sideload option.
Then, no more options, at first sight.
About porting a twrp build, I was looking at a program called "Twrp Porter", but is also resulting in some errors.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

I was wondering if the bootloader is in fact unlocked, because just appeared a message so fast that I even could read, but I believe yes 'cause the option in Developer Options is unavaliable.
I want to root my device, but this one is beeing very hard. If you know someone with capability in doing that, I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks for your help and yout attention.

I don't think disappearance of Developer Options means you are unlocked.
Use fastboot to check status of your bootloader.
You can do this using this command:
fastboot getvar all

No, I have tried numerous times but all the attempts have failed.
Btw, you can also go for cwm.
You will find a guide for both on the forum.
And you will need a linux pc
You can also use recovery builder on builder.clockworkmod.com
