[Q] Unable to Root - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good Afternoon XDA,
I have run into a slight problem with my Atrix 4G. When I try to root I click on the "root" button (yes it is in USB Debugging) and it just says, "Waiting for Device" then SuperRoot becomes Non-Responsive and nothing happens from there.
Any advice or help?
Thank You.

Silly question but did you install the drivers?

u need the Motorola ADB driver

Also, try this...turn off USB debugging, start the one click app. When it says "waiting for device", go to you atrix and turn USB debugging back on.

Got it to work...just restarted computer.
Heh

super one click doesn't work, Help!

Ok so I was able to use it once on a HTC phone.
But now I tried connecting my vibrant to my computer with usb debugging on and it says it couldn't install "samsung_vibrant" driver.
So obviously when I try the superoneclick it gets hung up on "waiting for device", anyone had this problem before?
However if I connect my phone with "mass storage" and usb debuggin off it works perfect.
I'm trying it on a 2.2 vibrant that I'm trying to root. Please help!

waiting for device........
daemon not running.....starting it now*
daemon started successfully*
...........and thats all i get, cant get any further....please help???
maybe try CASUAL for rooting? worked for me.
I think you need usb mode on charge only.

I have no idea what that CASUAL is....please post a link for it if you can, but in the meantime, im going to try putting my usb connection on charge only.....standby.

Have you activated the debug mode?
When you connect your device as charge only, did it load the ADB drivers?
If your answer is no or "i don't know" then you need to download and install the motorola ADB drivers.
That is why it's not seeing your device in charge only mode. The ADB interface driver is missing from your computer.

It's in the development forum. It automates the motofail process.
I didn't have to put my USB connection to charge only, I think that's a red herring.

Connect your device in device only to your computer. Verify that the ADB interface driver is connected.
If it is not, then you need to get and install those drivers.
Make sure its the data cable that came with the phone, I had the same message "waiting for device" while using an older data cable until I used the correct one then it worked for me! hope this helps if not good luck!

No USB connection to computer.

My LG E970 does not have an usb connection to the computer.
I tried connecting in fastboot and ADB via command prompt, the computer does not see it.
It says slow charging when connected to a computer, 2 different computers.
I have the LG united drivers installed, reinstalled and rebooted.
I was on 4.4 and I did a restore to stock ATT 4.1.2, still no luck.
I'm out of ideas.
EDIT:
I tried LGNPST from: http://pastebin.com/bRpR3aB6
I put it into download mode and the phone shows "DOWNLOAD MODE" "DO NOT UNPLUG the device until the process is complete"
It only shows that, LGNPST does not detect anything.

From there you need to select the ls970.dll and the bin file in lgnpst.

It won't let you select anything unless something is detected. Example: "UNKNOWN PORT 01"
And nothing is detected.

Try Kush's universal adb drivers for windows. If you are running Win8.1, make sure it's usb2.0 and not 3.0. If it still doesn't see it, try a different windows os.

I tried the different drivers, still "slow charge mode on the phone." It is suppose to pop up that USB debugging notification on the phone if it senses a computer connection. I'm using windows 7 and usb 2.0 only. Tried on different computer, still slow charging mode.
did you turn on "usb debug" in setting->Develop options?

Hi, I'm joining this thread since I have the same problem... My phone charges, but no device connection. Could there be a kernel module missing? Is there a way to check? A #lsmod type command?

Good for you. I tried different USB cords, and it still doesn't work.
Well, if you can select USB debugging and charge the phone over USB, but the phone doesn't notice the computer then it may be a damaged USB port... I saw a thread about that on a Kindle I think... But it sounds like software isn't the problem... Good luck.

I recently had the same problem and my solution was to use the Koush Universal ADB Driver recommended by someone else. Prior to that all I could see the contents of my SD card and external SD card on the computer but always had some sort of driver issues and Windows telling me my driver wasn't installed correctly.
Using the official LG driver from the website didn't seem to help either.
OK... I know this thread has gotten old, but here's the final deal... It wasn't "exactly" the USB cables. It WAS the plug. The plug wasn't broken, just very dirty. I cleaned it out with a toothpick and now even the old cord works fine... So if you can't get the computer and phone to recognize each other, try cleaning the micro port in the phone

My issue is that I can't connect to my computer with Windows 8.1 in Download Mode. If I want to flash, I need to find a friend who is using Windows 7. Can anybody help with this?
Other details: I've tried cleaning the ports, using another cable, using other USB connections, etc. When in Download Mode, SDK can't even detect the device. I'm pretty sure it's the fact that I'm using Windows 8.1, but I don't know what to do to fix this problem.
Thanks!

Not sure why you want to put your phone in download mode
If your just trying to connect your phone via USB to mount storage (meaning getting file off the internal storage and sd card), it should work fine.
If your trying to root your phone, you need to grab the android sdk and use the adb commands.

The reason is that my phone is "bricked." I'm caught in a boot loop. The bootloader is locked on my LG phone so I can only get into Download Mode to fix stuff. But I can't fix stuff if my computer doesn't recognize my device. (I can connect fine when my phone boots up properly; just not in Download Mode). I've installed and uninstalled the LG drivers many times, so this is not the issue. What can I do with my Windows 8.1 computer to connect with my phone in Download Mode? Again, I CAN connect to Windows 7 computers, but I don't have one convenient to use, and I don't want to install lots of software on friends' computers...

That is what I would like to be able to do, but it assumes your device is recognized. One of the other posts on the same thread mentioned a similar issue but didn't mention a solution.
I've done some more exploring. I have, again, uninstalled and reinstalled the appropriate LG E970 drivers from the LG support site.
- When I am in fastboot mode, I see the attached image "01 Android.png" in device manager.
- When I am in recovery mode, I see the attached image "02 LG E-970.png" in device manager.
- When my phone fully boots up, I see the attached image "03 LGE Android MTP Device.png" in device manager. At this point, and only at this point, abd will list my phone as a device.
The problem is, I need a connection to my computer from recovery / download mode in case of a boot loop.
Can anyone help?

PTP, MTP, adb no longer works after root obtained

was able to root my phone using the steps described in the forums where the PC recognized the device with no problems every step of the way. however after getting root whenever I plug in the phone to a PC I no longer see it connected via Windows or via adb. I've tried rebooting both PC and phone, changing between MTP and PTP, as well as reinstalling the LG and adb driver, but no dice. Interestingly though I can use fastboot on the PC to update TWRP and boot TWRP, but nothing else. I feel like a setting somewhere might need to be changed, but it seems I've done everything I know of... any suggestions?

Unplug from computer. Disable usb debug adb. Connect in computer in different port and see if it installs anything. If so wait till done. Then unplug and enable adb and plug in same port from before.

adb not working on pie

I've been having issues with adb on pie. It just doesn't recognise my phone. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers but it doesnt work for me. Although, the pc can recognise my phone but not in adb. Whenever i run a adb command i don't get a prompt on my phone asking to allow the pc which is weird. I need help here.
Just had the same issue. On Windows. Reinstalled the adb drivers, didn't help. This, I think, is what resolved it for me, YMMV:
While the phone is plugged to PC,
disabled USB Debugging in Developer Options,
observed a toaster notification on Windows about updating/installing drivers for my phone,
enabled USB Debugging again, clicked Allow on the dialog that popped up,
and I was back in business.
