While trying to use superoneclick, I ran into a snag, and My atrix wouldn't properly root. I was able to SBF back to 1.5.2. I haven't rooted it since. Nowany time I connect it to the lapdock, it says "connected to hdmi cable" and brings up an option to either run the "entertainment center" or "do nothing" Webtop does not come up at all! any answers/solutions as to why would be a great help!!
EDIT: Lapdock is working, I upgraded to 1.8. thanks anyways!

Hey I am in need of some help.
Yesterday I decided that I need to root my ATT Motorola Atrix 4G in order to be to able to install third-party software and have the option of checking the unknown sources option and have full functionality of the phone.
So, I started by using the program Superoneclick and I followed all the instructions to the tee. During the rooting or shell rooting process it would freeze up at the 'running psneuter' and then loops and give me this message 'If it keeps looping, try disabling USB debugging now'. I did as it told me and it did not work. I tried the process over and over again for about 2-3 hours and still got the same issues.
So, after hours of researching and trying Superoneclick. I decided to use the Gingerbreak.exe found at briefmobile.com. So that worked I think because in Titanium backup it says it is rooted. What puzzles me is that the phone is supposedly 'rooted' but I don't have the unknown sources option to be checked. Also the superusers icon showed up but I do not even know what to do with that.
I would like assistances or advice when it comes to properly rooting my ATT Motorola Atrix 4G.
Thank you to anyone that can help.
my device doesnt show an option box to enable or disable sideloading but i can still sideload. i am pretty sure that i read the guy that made the hack didnt bother with the check box
also, if it doesnt work for you there is an app you can download from android central called the side loading wonder machine (or something like that). i have used it too and it works great when you are connected to your pc
I want to be able to install produces without having to keep connecting my phone to the computer.
Have you actually tried to install non market apps since rooting? As I said earlier, my phone doesn't indicate that I can side load but I can
Yes and it tells me i can't install it because i need to check that box. Which leads me to believe that the phone is not truly rooted. What do you think?
Being rooted and being able to side load are two different things. It sounds like you are rooted already so now you just have to enable side loading. Read the this thread carefully and see if it solves your issue

Thanks...what will this do exactly? and will i be able to receive the updates from att for the atrix still?
I did everything you did and it worked wonderfully thanks.
One more questions. How come I can install over the air from the market when i am on my pc? Why do i have to do it from the phone directly?

Is your question that you can or cannot use your pc to download to your phone over the air? You should be able to use your pc to push an app onto your phone from the market without wires.

When i am on the market website on my pc and i try to push an app to my phone it doesnt work. I have to go into the market store from my phone in order to get the app.
Just curious, what does this have to do with rooting?

Well i originally was having rooting issues. Now that I was helped and finally got my phone rooted i am experiencing this issue after rooting my phone. So why start a new thread?
I rooted my D3, then installed the Wifi tether (wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk - android-wifi-tether - WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.1-beta6 *** BETA *** - Wireless Tether for Root Users - Google Project Hosting). while installing this i was met with " This will install over another something.". stupid me, i hit OK. and now when ever i plug the phone into my laptop the USB mode options no longer pop up on the phone. Also, the Wifi tether nor the Wired tether work.
So now im currently stuck in the "Charge Only" mode.
Anyone have any ideas. I went searching for the USB mode menu in the settings, but never found them.
Nadda, Niltch, Nothing?
I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt and think maybe i put this in the wrong place?
Well i'm getting some help over at Droid-forums, but cant post the url with lower than 8 posts...
Can't find your thread @ Droid Forums, but need your answer!
Ok i have been looking EVERYWHERE and it seems like all the guides are outdated and may not work if i have android 2.2.1 on the phone already.
I have
PVT 32A
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
in the settings on the phone it says my baseband version is 62.50Sj.20.17U_2.22.28.25 which doesnt seem to match up with the different guides out there.
PLEASE somebody link me to a guide that still works nowadays with android 2.2.1!!!!
Thank you!!!!!
The old guide on the cyanogenmod site should work fine. An image is provided to downgrade to like Cupcake or something, then you can root it. I was able to follow the directions a few months back on my wife's old mytouch 3g with no issue.
Where are you running into a snag?

Thanks for replying. Well to start, here it says.
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Magic_(32A):_Rooting
About Screen
While booted go to Settings ยป About and look at the baseband version. You will see a long string with the last piece that looks like: 6.35.10.18 or 3.22.20.17 - that is the radio version
Except my baseband is something entirely different. I posted it in the original post.
Actually, if i just knew how to downgrade to cupcake for starters that would be great.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Help somebody???? Everything on the net doesnt match up with my phone for some reason. Like its all outdated.
Which mytouch 3g do you have?
T mobile my touch 3g. Its white and DOES have the regular headphone jack. And right now it has android 2.2.1 on it.
32A
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
baseband version says 62.50Sj.20.17U_2.22.28.25
Currently this phone is incredibly slow! I mean to the point of some people considering it unusable. I use it. But its a real pain. This is why i want to root. See if maybe an older version of android or a custom rom like cyanogen will speed it up.
If i simply put SAPPIMG.nbh on a freshly formatted fat32 sd card and fast boot or whatever it says unknown fail update fail.

Yay!!! This appears as if it might work for me! Thanks so much!
Ok so im running into a snag even though im following this guid exactly. Im at the superoneclick part.
In the left pane of superoneclick it says
Killing ADB server Killserver 0.10s *server not running*
Starting ADB server Startserver 4.30s *daemon not running. starting it now on port 5...
In the right pane it says
*Daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037*
*daemon started successfully*
But its just sitting there forever. Nothing is happening. I have an hour glass for a mouse cursor. I have usb debugging on the phone turned on.
In my previous attempt to root my phone (following some other guide) i did use superoneclick and it said its been rooted but then wasnt. Or at least i couldnt do a su command (or whatever) from a terminal app on my phone. Could this previous attempt be messing with it?

Yes, it could mess with it. Did you reboot your device before trying this? It is recommended that you reboot your device after every root attempt.
I have definitely rebooted several times since the last attempt.
So, i just tried a factory reset and then tried super one click again with the same results. I of course enabled usb debugging and to allow non market apps.
What should i try next?

When using Superoneclick, did you follow all of its instructions correctly (especially disabling and enabling USB debugginig many times)? See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 and read the "Read me" for 11/10/2011.
Yeah i have disabled and reenabled usb debugging on the phone while superoneclick it trying to root like 10-15 times.

Okay. Try this method instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4314039.
Ok, ill try that method next. But i just tried a previous version of superoneclick and its giving me the same results except it also says waiting for device.
If i look in my device manager on windows xp pro the only thing i have for drivers says android phone and if i expand that it says android composite ADB interface.
Is this right? Or do i need mytouch drivers on my pc? Are these drivers i am seeing part of the android sdk program?

You do need drivers for your device installed on your pc. Yes, they could be for that (but you still need your device specific drivers).
Another thing is im using a mini usb cord but the plug on the mytouch is shaped differently. But it fits anyways and works for charging and file transfers.
Where can i find device drivers for my mytouch 3g? I havent seen any anywhere.
I tried to update my P7510 wifi tab using the "About device" ---->"Software update"----->Update button in settings, but for some reason this button is not active; when I touch it nothing happens. It used to work till a few months ago and used to tell me there are no updates available. But for some reason it is not working anymore. I tried to update to ics using Kies but it cannot read the tablet.
I wonder if there is a solution to make the "update" button active again.
I had this problem in my Motorola milestone .......what I did was a factory reset

Thanks for the tip. I actually managed to install ICS on the tablet by following a convoluted semi-procedure that only works some of the times!
I read on some forum (do not remember where as I read a lot of stuff online in many forums to find a solution for this) that the trick to this is to use the wireless connection capability of Kies at the same time that the tablet is connected to the PC via the cable. It took a few trials and errors to get it right, but eventually it worked and although Kies kept saying that nothing is connected to it, it actually somehow somewhere in its program understood that the tablet is indeed connected to Kies via cable and so it gave me the permission to update the firmware and install ICS.
By the way my tablet is not rooted. I think the problem initially happened a few months a go when I uninstalled (or stopped, not sure) the "update" task of android. From then on, the tablet could not connect to its server to see if an update is available.
On a separate note, ICS seems fine to me but the lag in video/live stream issue is not good. I also hope like many others here for Samsung to come up with a fix for this soon.
Hi everyone,
I have somes problems with my atrix and one of the most important for me is that my webtop don't want to launch. When I plugg my atrix on the hdmi cable, i choose webtop option and nothing happen, my phone just do nothing like if i never click on webtop option. All other option work like the divertissement center.
Is anyone have an idea for this problems ?
my ROM is djerman (official ROM with HDMI mirror and webtop hack)
kernel is 2.6.32.59-MB860-faux123-GB-026
Tried reflashing the webtop?
Yes I've tried to reflash the ROM, i also tried to flash one another ROM with webtop but didn't change anything
I said webtop, not ROM.
How about you try flashing just the webtop like I said?
If that doesn't help then it's something else.
webtop is downloading, i'll flash it and see if it change anything.
No it didn't change anything, webtop don't want to start >_<
I've seen that when i unplugg my hdmi cable but after I tried to start webtop and nothing happen, in fact something strange happen. Once the hdmi cable is unplugg and i want to search something on the internet, my atrix ask me if I want to start the seach with stock browser or with webtop browser. When I choose webtop browser nothing happen.
