[Q] su : not found - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have been trying to SU from Terminal Emulator just to check If I get "Permission Denied". I have updated with OTA 4157.
What could be the issue??
Is it a general behavior of the Atrix?
or Issue with PATH Variable??
Or by default "SU" is not linked?
I have also been trying to root with super one click root, not working either.
Would someone please advise what could go right?
Many Thanks in Advance,
Kind Regards,
Naga

to root you have to flash the old sbf. there are directions in the dev forum

[Q] How To root exploit...

Hi guys! I have a question that I can't answer. How does Paul of MoDaCo do Root for every phone? I explain me better: it comes out the Nexus S and then he obtains root with superboot
My final question is : how does he do a superboot that roots the phone (install busybox and su.apk) ???
Thanks you!
SuperOneClick root
The OP wants to know how the root exploit works.
Check out psneuter, its the exploit used in SuperOneClick
https://github.com/tmzt/g2root-kmod/blob/master/scotty2/psneuter/psneuter.c
Thanks for the link. Do you have anymore of those kind of exploits for android?
Basically, it is an exploit that allows to install busybox and Superuser.apk?
Those exploites allows to run adb shell with superuser permission. So it's possible to do everything.

Yeah, that is pratically explanation. I want to know how it really works , so the explanation if how I can obtain root on a new device!
Read xda thread linked above. And take a look on github repos. If u know how to coding kernel/driver u will understand exploit sources.
Nobody will came here to explain for free this mega-secret-LOL.

[Q] Is there a root method for the newest OTA kernel update

I just got my thunderbolt one week ago... when booted, it got the newest OTA that just came out last weekend. I was able to successfully root using the sticky thread at the top of this forum. Just follow the instructions verbatim and check ur checksums.
It took literally less than 20 minutes... ok, maybe 30 with a few minutes of pre-reading, and some staging of stuff.
Seriously. Just follow that sticky's instructions to a "T".
Previous known, stickied methods should still work fine for the most recent OTA...just not the next OTA since it'll be GB.

Lol, a simple misplacement of a topic is in no way a need to deny any help aside from a crude remark. At least have some courtesy.
But that is getting off topic. Yes, just use the root thread and use one click or do it yourself.

Cannot root with the old methods. I think the new kernel cannot be rooted. Any devs able to respond to this?

They have been reported to work fine as it has been performed by several people post-OTA.
Check this user's post and the follow up if need be: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15596056#post15596056
Are you getting the same "operation not permitted" error as this user?

ya.. i get no permissions error.
I had previously installed the newest unrooted OTA last week. I was a bit worried about rooting with the posted method, but last night I took the jump and did it. Worked flawless for me. I rooted installed the downgrade, backed up with rom manager, then installed the rooted 1.70.605.0 OTA and it has been working great for me. I was completely new to the rooting process and I followed both the youtube video from nat3mil and the version 2.5 from android police.
I just finished successfully rooting my phone with the instructions posted here on XDA. I had downloaded the lasted OTA update. No problems, now on my way to nightlies of some sort I'm sure!

need busybox??????????????

Dude. please please help me!!!! i simply cannot get busybox to work with my GT 10.1 running HC 3.2. I have searched 8hours non stop last night for something to help me. and nothing. simply nothing. please help me or direct me to someone who might
What have you done to try to get it working? Have you tried one of the busybox installers on the market?
What goes wrong? Is it installed but apps that require it don't work? Or just won't install? Are you attempting to install it to the correct location?
Is your su and su binaries up to date?
You may wanna try unrooting and rerooting sometimes roots nonfiction

need rooting ATRIX European 45.31.0

hi,
i try to find a way to root my atrix 45.31.0 stock rom in 2.3.4 but not sure what root software method to use.
i work on linux so i know what i will do when flash rom ... so i want to know if it's possible to root the atrix 'manually' (without flashing the fastboot) with exploit and if there is an howto ?
else what sofware can root my atrix version by using exploit ?
thanks
I used Pete's Motorola Root Tools for my 2.3.4 but search in forum before proceeding.
i relaunch my question and post another
i read this topic : http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root to root the atrix but i don't understand why we need to flash the /preinstall partition.
is it possible to copy the dosu or su application on the atrix temp folder and gain root access by this way ?
i think :
adb push c:\su /tmp/
/bin/mount /system -o remount,rw
cp /tmp/su /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
does the atrix will be root after that ?
i think it's not always too simple but i ask in case off
any suggestion ?
you dont want to unlock bootloader?

If no one else answers I'll give it a try but I won't be home until later tonight and might not have much time. And will likely need hand-holding on how to do what you need, LOL!
ETA: Oh and I have a custom ROM & Kernel on mine if that matters.
Thanks for responding being on a custom rom is fine but I need stock kernel so if you could flash it that would be great!

I have a boot.img with the stock kernel in it. The Darkslide ROM has some issues with WiFi and other things when I run the stock kernel. Would the boot.img help?
if it's directly from the dev edition phone then definitely could you please upload it if it is?

Also note it says to bump your question once in 24 hours. There are not that many developer editions out there that someone is sitting here waiting for your request.
I have a stock Dev edition ATM (no root or recovery) but can access ADB if I can help. I am also interested in finding out how to get a stock recovery package for the Development Edition.

Update
Update: I have some good news and some bad news (mostly bad)
Good News: I have unlocked the bootloader
Bad News: the unlock is not permanent(?) but I might be able to fix that, just need some the run the following comands in terminal emulator and give me the files that were made:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/boot.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p32 of=/sdcard/devlog.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p29 of=/sdcard/system.img
If anycone can run these (on stock w/o recovery that would be great!
I'm going to try to help. I have a stock DEV edition, non-rooted. It has been 3 years since I messed with ADB, so I will probably need some hand holding

You don't need a computer it's fairly simple just download terminal emulator from the play store and run the commands the output files will be on the root of the internal storage so if you could just upload those that would be great
Thanks. I get permission denied trying to copy /dev/block/mmcblk0p22
Do I need to be rooted?

K. I also got ADB running. Now what would be the best way to root this. I assume you don't want me to use a custom recovery to get there.

follow the instructions on this thread and help the op author out ASAP PLEASE!!
EDIT* darn it, i forgot yours is a dev phone. so root may be different..... sorry. i was just so excited about this news.
Yep. That's for an ME7. My dev phone is OYUAMDK. As far as I understand, the MDK root methods wipe the recovery or the kernel, depending on the method. I think the OP is asking for both to be intact so he can get copies. I'm not rooting until I hear from the OP.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP THIS MAN, LET'S GET THIS BABY UNLOCKEd!!
