Hi all,
My atrix on Bell is just a couple days old.
Is the process to root and use the adeo custom roms exactly the same as the AT&T atrix?
If not, is there anything different or a thread someone can refer me to?
Thanks,
i am sure that you can root it the same way as at&t atrix cuz I bought an bell atrix and i did root it using the same steps. not sure for rom.

You can use aRoot but I would hold off on Adeo and any other mods to the ROM until they are confirmed Bell compatible

I agree, wait a while so the devs can test stuff for the bell version. GingerBlur should be out soon for bell version.
hi guys,

Rooting Moto Atrix
I just got my Bell Atrix about two weeks ago, I rooted it yesterday using a nice little software called "supper one click" it has options for root, unroot, and non-market apps. there is a vid on YouTube that will show how yo do it ( super easy ) I can't add the link but if you google "rooting Motorola Atrix" it will be the first one.
I'm not sure if it is the best way to go but it worked perfect for me (please donate to developer for his hard work!)
As for the ROM I'm going to wait for more feedback ! bricks are nice to build a house not for a phone

Unless it was updated, Super One Click is technically not the best way to root your Atrix as it was built off of other phones' codes and not fully from the Atrix's so there are some unwanted codes. Super One click included a busybox script, which the Atrix already had. So in essence you have 2 busybox scripts on your phone and it can do some unwated things when you use SU. I don't remember the issues of having 2 busyboxs on your phone. aRoot by DG was designed for the Atrix but DG left supporting the Atrix. At that time, DG recommneded everyone that used the Super One Click to reroot with aRoot. The best way to root atm is Gladiroot from Reiral.
is there any way to unroot for bell users yet?
i know with us users, you can flash the stock rom...

What root method did you use? There should be an unroot method in the rooting folder (or whatever) when you rooted. If you used Gladiroot then post in that thread and have ririal help you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016060

Yea, ririal said he would add an unroot option if we wanted it.
That aside, I had to do a factory reset and it unrooted my atrix bell... of course an option in the gladroot script without needing factory reset to unroot would be great regardless

hi everyone, i'm new on this forum but i know what your doing in here since a year. Today i try to root my atrix from bell to gingerblur, it worked (not the frist time) i did a restore to factory default and it came back to gingerblur and worked for the frist time. now i'm trying to go back to the original version of my atrix because the internet is not working, probably because it's a rom that was done for at&t. Well i'm trying and can't go back. i did a bckup with recovery, root with gingerbreak and install gingerblur...
thank you if someone can help me if not well that's for trying
Dave
sorry for my english i'm french
After some search over internet, i set bell's apn back and everything seem to work ok, the home button is not working i don't know if it' only me. Just tell me if you are having the same issues.
Thank you
Dave

Your best bet is probably just to flash to SBF 1.83. You can root from there using Gingerbreak

I can get the update now. I was part of the ATRIX 4G Pre-Release Software Test.
Problem is that I cant get software update since my phone is rooted.
search the forum and download sbf 183.
Then open the sticky thread how to flash sbf to your phone, and use the 183 file you found .
183 on mine didn't wipe my data..
So installed a clean 142 then update then flashed 183, root etc etc, and waiting for the 3.0 gingerblur!!!!!!!!
And I think that update increased wifi reception!!!

You can try the post above, flashing 1.83 sbf. Easy to do.
Or try unroot script within Gladroot

It has unroot function.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
From my understanding, you can upgrade even if the phone's rooted as long as you don't have a custom theme or pseudo-ROM like GingerBlur or GladAtrix installed. You'll lose root though, so make sure you can re-root it.
This should be in QA bro!

I have an atrix at&t version 4.1.57
This is the second one I have as I bricked my first (thankfully I got another one for free).
I don't want to butcher this process so could someone please walk me through the process of getting greyblur (or if there's a better firmware please let me know) on my phone - my atrix hasn't been rooted.

Hey, I'm pretty sure you have to be rooted to install roms. Just follow the installation guide it's alot easier than it seems.
PS: I have GingerBlur and its great and the guide is for both GingerBlur and GreyBlur. Hope this helps.
Should I update to the latest OTA before I root or what?
For GreyBlur you are good with 1.5.7 according to its website but you need 1.8.3 for GingerBlur. Have you not gotten the OTA for 1.8.3 yet?

no i haven't. so i ota to 1.8.3 then root then blur?

This ROM works with the HD multimedia dock?
Hello, I have an AT&T rooted Atrix with original ROM in 4.1.5.7; so I think I'm a candidate to test this ROM. I have two questions:
1) I saw that HDMI mirroring is integrated in the ROM; will this work ok with the HD multimedia dock?
2) Is this ROM including WiFi proxy support?
Thanks!

You need to update to 4.1.83. And I'm pretty sure it works with the dock because the hack just changes what happens when you plug in the HDMI cord. And the proxy thing I have no idea... lol

Hi,
I'm updating the thread, that means waiting for an upload to finish. It adds in everything to get back to stock in one CWM zip, radio and bootloader. The unlocked and fixed zip should be done immediately after in the same CWM recovery session to keep the unlocked bootloader, ram fixed CWM recovery, and ram fixed 2.2.2 boot image. Otherwise you have to reflash IHOP to get the unlocked bootloader back and reflash CWM recovery.
Now, you have to ask yourself if you want to be stock when the final Bell update isn't even out yet.
EDIT: Thread updated
Cheers!
So when the final Bell update, i.e. the official Gingerbread update for the Bell Atrix is released, we won't need all these fixes and such since it will be a stable version? Also, would I be able to update ota without the aformentioned core apps I uninstalled or would it be more wise to stick to custom roms? Thanks.

No script. Just a CWM. You need to be unlocked first. Use ihop and tenfars unlocked CWM recovery.
I now have a Bell GB CWM up as well.

Hi,
I have no idea how good the official Bell gb will be, the Leak is good. OTA may or may not patch those files, most likely it would.
If you mean AT&T firmware when you say custom roms that's up to you. It's nice to have the option not to use that., for that reason, all the patches. I haven't patched anything with the bell gb leak, works fine. By default it includes several features AT&T folks have to hack in. Not perfect but it's less work.
Cheers!

Hi,
It is volume down when you turn the phone on, says fastboot, click vol down until it says android recovery, then vol up. You have to be unlocked of course, and CWM installed.
If you are doing both at the same time, just 222 gobstopper and then 234 gobstopper which includes the ram fixes. Sometime when I get a chance I'll add in a few partitions to 234 to avoid the 222 step, slow upload connection here. (1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 are the partitions left out of 234) And I am not sure if it's needed going from Froyo to Froyo.
Cheers!
Thank you....I see in your Gobstopper GB2.3.4 link that you are updating////
(Not a problem, Testing now, Will upload immediately after. So another 3.5 hours or so it will be done. lol
I included the multitouch hack and the rest of the partitions, so once it's done you won't have to go back to 2.2.2 for any reason to install it.) should I wait for this 2.3.4 to install, but I will still need to get back to stock2.2.2 first right??? or will I just have to use your updated GB2.3.4??????? thanks again dill......will be donating to u for sure......Oh and I read somewhere about deleting (install-recovery.sh) in system-etc if its there....and it is???

Alright so am I on a stock 2.2.2 Bell firmware at the moment since all I really have is root, not even an unlocked bootloader, but I don't have those 3 core apps? If so, that means I don't need the 2.2.2 gobstopper and I can just use the 2.3.4 one after I unlock my bootloader and install CWM correct? Thanks.

Ok I lied, just one more. Are the steps to unlock the bootloader and get CWM the same for a Bell Atrix as an AT&T one other than I need to RSD flash IHOP_BELL instead of the AT&T variant? Thanks for all your help so far!
I have never rooted my phone before, and I'm not "techy" at all. I have searched far and wide, and everyone who has rooted theirs AFTER the 4.5.145 update had previously rooted their phone.
I would like to find a pre-install method, I don't want to wipe anything off my phone. I just want to gain access.
I have been having the wifi/bluetooth problem that seems to be common with this update. I also get random reboots. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know. I've heard I have to flash it to 4.5.141 after I root it? I don't know. I'm completely lost!
The preinstall method works with all firmware versions.
