Hi, I've read a lot of threads about this and have found no feasible answer to this (at least for me). My Atrix 4G running android 2.3.4 on Blue Chronic firmware "HomeBase Mega4 - Gingerbread 2.3.4" shows a blank field in the "My phone number" section. I know that using a Sony Ericsson or an old Samsung phone will allow me to edit this on my sim card, however I do not have access to either of these types of phones. Has anybody found a way to edit this on the Atrix itself, either by using SQLite editor or even using Root Explorer's text editor? I can do it easily if I can just find the fields that need to be edited. Please help.
Any possible solutions will be much appreciated.
Also does anybody know where I can find the .apk files after an apps been installed, do they get saved to a folder on the phone like a computer's "Temporary Internet Files" folder when you just click "run" in the dialog box?

Download AppMonster, select the app you want the apk for, select backup. Use Root Explorer to navigate to sdcard/appmonster2/[the app you want]/rev/you will find the apk here
Thanks Pirate.
Now I still need the My phone number info, hopefully someone has that info....
You can edit the phone number using CM7
hmm, I have blue chronic right now, maybe I'll try to install CM7 again, last time I tried my phone soft bricked itself.. well, I soft bricked it...
Edit: Thanks for the tip though, I'll try it again...
Update: For some reason I am unable to install CM7. No clue why, I'll do a little research and try again. In the mean time if anyone has any other possible solutions, they would be much appreciated.
Still having trouble with this, if anyone has any roms other than CM7 that they would recommend that would be nice.

Just download the Rom Manager app from the market, it should let you know if your recovery is up to date and offer to update it for you if it isn't
Okay, I stated doing that after I saw your post, but just to be on the safe side, what is the recommended version, or if you're not entirely sure, where can I get it?

You have to use the cd (change directory command) in your command prompt to get to where you fastboot program is so for example if its file path is c:/androidtools/fastboot.exe
you would have to open cmd and type
Code:
cd c:\androidtools\
and then you could run any fastboot commands from there
if you don't already have fastboot it's here

It's the same for me
I had that problem when I switched my carrier. I have not came across a ROM for it that allows SIM number change. If you dont have an issue installing this, use that to change your number, otherwise you might need to borrow someone's blackberry phone to do it, most of the BB's are known to be able to edit SIM numbers apparently.
I ended up digging out my old Acer Liquid E running CM7 based ROM which had the SIM number option and worked like a charm on my current SIM (it is the proper number now). But this option is no where to be found on the Atrix's CM7 ROMs
I was wondering if anyone has got Ubuntu working on the Milestone X2 using the Ubuntu.sh script? I suppose the question would be does the MX2 even support loop devices? I have been looking over the file system, and have found the directories "Loop1 - Loop7", yet the file structure is different. I'M actually looking into altering the script, however, even with a custom script, would it even work? because of Motorola's locked down bootloader, and fort Knox phone design.

AndroidVNC
I'm having trouble getting AndroidVNC to connect. I've setup VNC to connect to localhost with password ubuntu on port 5900, and it says it can't connect to 127.0.0.1:5900. How can I resolve this? Also, when I go into [email protected] and type apt-get update, it says some packages can't be installed, and its the same when I run apt-get install tightvncserver. If anyone is obliged to help it would be most appreciated.
Nevermind, I have AVNC working. I had the wrong ubuntu image..... LOL...now I feel like a fool.

I have noticed that many people have had issues rooting their phone, especially recently. And i have also gotten tired of typing or copying the root method over and over after flashng in RSD and loosing root.
In response to that i have taken it upon myself to write a script for automating a majority of the process for all of us, making the process swifter than before. However this is not a one click root there are many steps nessecary to root our device. All i have done is wiritten a script to automate a majority of the process.
I will only test one version of the script, the ubuntu 12.10 version, because thats the only operating system i run and its easiest to test this one. i will leave the other versions to other people and to post issues with them as they arise so i may fix them
there are several versions of the script
*Ubuntu - 12.10 and up
*Ubuntu generic - 10.04-12.04
*Linux generic - any version of linux
*Windows bat file - Must download Motorola drivers
*Android - NEW ALPHA!! can actually be run from another rooted phone or tablet!! Scripts for general use coming soon! Testers are welcome! Check out the second post for details.
each version has the nessecary files to root your phone and including the script
These are not flash able scripts these must be uncompressed and run on a computer
Oh and feed back is more than welcome im not an expert at writing scripts or any sort of write up but i will do my best to fix any flaws or add suggestions.

Ah, wow. Thank you so much for this. I didn't root my Milestone X2 2.3.6 on ACS Wireless for 6 months because I was afraid of breaking it (again.) I wish this was around a few months ago
Hopefully this helps everyone root their phone in a much easier and safer way.
By the way.. Does anyone have any suggestions on a working MX2 2.3.6 ROM? I'm still using stock, and I hate it.
there aren't any roms based on 2.3.6, doubt we will see any soon

Try eclipse its not 2.3.6 based but it runs wonderfully on the mx2. As for the script its mostly an untested product. I've runt the Ubuntu 12.10 one once with little issue but the rest I haven't tried. Just remember its a two part script that requires the running of both pieces to work.
As to having a rom 2.3.6 based there really is no point we have fully functional roms that run beautiful with what we have not to mention that there's no real point in going back if we get a kexec or second boot working as further versions are going to be based off of a newer kernel and version of android.

I'm glad it was able to help. I tried to make certain things more autonomous but unfortunately it does have to be specific, and handled as such. So there's not a lot of flexability in how the process is done by the user and by the script itself.

I've tested some superuser managing apps and so far the only one that works for our device is chainsdd's app. Clockworkmod's and chainfires supersu do not work well or at all. Please use the chainsdds app from the market or keep the one that the script installs as they work best.

Alpha for the arm aka android script is up. Testers are welcome to play with it. This is a very very basic build. Nothing is automatic, will be worked on as I go. The download, requirements and minor change log of what's included can be found on the second post. that post is now change log and unstable versions. Read what's included on the the log before trying. If you want to try but don't have and otg cable flash the preinstall img using a computer and play around with the arm adb binaries. Credit for the arm versions of the adb and fastboot binaries go to the original developers, they will be listed as I find the correct threads and sites I pulled them from are found.

Sorry. I meant to get back to you earlier, I've been busy. No. I'm running Windows 7. Used the Windows Pack and ran through the instructions/README and got hung on that last step when the script wouldn't run.
I have a bootable CD of a few Linux OS's should I try one of those instead of through Windows? Is there a specific OS that the Linux script doesn't work on. I am a fan of LinuxMint and CentOS but I also have an Ubuntu CD as well.

Hum I wonder what broke the windows script. Um really its up to you I can try to tear it apart and see if what's wrong but I'd need specific information from you in what's happening. But I'm a better Linux script writer so the Linux scripts are a bit more stable. Ubuntu 12.04 and up is best because the repositories have adb and fastboot included and can be installed. Both of which the script requires to run but any of the linux ones should work.

That's because you're doing it out of a regular ol' command prompt.
There's two things you an do to alleviate that problem.
1) Follow this:
Right click on the My Computer icon and select the properties tab.
Select Advanced and click the Environment Variables button.
In the new dialog box double-click on Path (located under System Variables) and type in the full path location to the tools directory.
So essentially if your directory for ADB and fastboot are under C:\<SDK FOLDER NAME>\tools or C:\<SDK FOLDER NAME>\platform-tools, add those to the Path.
2) Go to the directory where ADB/Fastboot, hold SHIFT and then right click. It'll give you the option to open up a command prompt from that directory with should allow you to run those specific commands.
Also, getting back to the Paths. Make sure when you go to add a new path that you put a ; IMMEDIATELY after the very last one. Then absolutely no spaces right after that ;. So.... example coming up..
Let's say a path was C:\banana\peel, and you want to add your ADB folder. So it'll be typed like so, C:\banana\peel;C:\<SDK FOLDER>\tools and then you repeat the same exact thing for the next folder.
I really hope this helps!

Following the first method (thanks alot for the help too man, I appreciate it).
Ive found the PATH section you told me about, but I dont understand what you mean by "the full path location to the tools directory".
2) Where is the ADB/Fastboot directory?

Its okay. I was confused on this too because i ran the fastboot and it said it didn't recognize it. So i realized that fastbook has to be a program that i have to install. Eventually i figured out it was from the android sdk, but all the guides assume you have android sdk installed. They might want to consider adding something like "make sure you have android sdk installed and your Path set" in their guides. I know that would have saved me some trouble haha. ^_^
Yea that would have saved me some sleep haha I still can't get it to work though when I do CID exploit command prompt says no recognized ADB devices I think it might be cause I can't install HTC drivers (I hope cause I'm getting frustrated) haha will try again in next couple days

Okay, that would be great. I can get through basically all of the directions for facepalm, but when I do the final reboot the rich screen is unresponsive. I can't touch anything.....
Ok facepalm doesnt work for 3.16 so you will need to downgrade to 3.15 using DirtyRacun method. Go to unlimited.io for instructions. Basically you can't use windows for this, so you will need to make ubuntu livecd and use that to go through the process

Everything is ready to go. Running ubuntu as we speak. I have all the files in one folder on my desktop, but when i open a command terminal using control, alt, and t it doesn't recognize the first command (chmod 755 RabiesShot adb fastboot)

If you're on the newest OTA you might want to take a look at this. Looks much less complicated than Dirty Racun, and it's Windows friendly

Make sure you extract files in a folder named DirtyRacun in a folder named Download
Launch terminal (click the ubuntu button, type "terminal" without quotes to find the program). Than type the following commands
cd Downloads
cd DirtyRacun
chmod 755 RabiesShot adb fastboot
After the last command, you should get the same prompt as before, i.e. /Downloads/DirtyRacun$. That is your signal that the command worked
Staying in the /Downloads/DirtyRacun directory in the terminal, type
sudo ./fastboot getvar mainver
It'll tell you the version of the software.
After that, follow the commands on unlimited.io
The key is to stay in the /Downloads/DirtyRacun directory in the terminal and just type the commands as said.
The only hiccup I had is during step 14 when, after typing
sudo ./RabiesShot
I had to manually reboot my phone to bootloader (fastboot)
So I downloaded the ruu while running ubuntu. Actually all files I downloaded were on my ubuntu desktop. I booted back to Windows to do something, then back to ubuntu. All my downloaded files were gone.... I can't find them anywhere...

Livecd doesn't save anything you do on your ubuntu. If you went out and back to windows, you'll have to start over
I suggest you take out enough time to get through this process from start to finish before going back to windows.
Okay. So the ruu is gone? No way to get it back? This is a major setback. I'll have to redownload the ruu tonight. But this is definitely a learning experience, and it's worth it to get s off

Yea, RUU takes a long time to download, which is a pain when using Ubuntu livecd. Good luck and I'll try to help as much as I can.
Okay. I have an exam tomorrow. I think I'll go to the town library to download the ruu quickly. Can I just copy the files into the download folder? Like download them in Windows, put them on a flash drive, and paste them to the ubuntu downloads folder?

That I am not sure of, but if ubuntu recognizes the usb, than you should be able to transfer it to the Download/DirtyRacun folder from your flash drive.
