As the subject states I want to know if there is any possible way to connect to another android phone from my Atrix and push files to and root other non-rooted files?

Are you just asking how to send files between phones? If so u can use Bluetooth, wifi file explorer, swap sdcards or send an email with the file...if not then you need to be more specific.
Sent from my Transformer TF101
I would suppose it would be possible if you're using weptop & the lapdock or maybe the media dock
Yeah to be more specific in the small area I live Im about the only person who knows how to root phones and I have several people wanting me to do it for them. Currently the only method I have is via my dinosaur desktop.
Was hoping someone could direct me to a file, app, or method to use my Atrix to root other phones without involving a desktop or laptop computer.

Z4Root from the market works on a few phones - worth a try
Knowing which phones and the carriers would help to start also.
So far most of the people needing to root are using a Samsung Captivate on AT&T.

I think that what he wants to do is something like fire up a terminal window on his atrix, connect via ADB to the other phones using that terminal window, and basically eliminate the need for a pc.
That's a great question. As far as an answer goes. I ain't got no clue.

when i had my captivate i would use superoneclick but you need a desktop. try looking for a root method that involves using system recovery to flash a zip file that way you can just carry the file in your phone and transfer to theirs. im not up to date with the captivate so i dunno if a method exist.
To access another phone remotely, you want to be on the same WiFi LAN and install something like SSHDroid for a SSH daemon on the other machine, so you can connect using Android Terminal Emulator over wifi instead of a usb cable and using ADB.
If this is all greek to you, start googling!

I don't think that will work. He's trying to get root on the other phone, but SSHDroid is fairly gimped unless you already have root on the phone. Also, Android Terminal Emulator would probably be useless. You'd need to find an ssh client from the market instead.
There's a thread in the dev section for an arm version of adb. That would actually let you connect another phone to your Atrix and run adb commands off of it... If you have the lapdock. If you don't, I don't know of any way to connect two phones directly by cable.
The update.zip + bluetooth method suggested by neotekz is probably the more realistic method, since I assume you don't have the lapdock.

It's on the market, but as I said, it won't work as you're hoping. I mean, how can you use the "su" command to be able to do all the good stuff unless that other phone has already been rooted? But since the point is to try to get root, it's a chicken and egg thing.
Look into the update.zip thing. Or if you succeed with sshdroid and SSH, come back here and let us know how because I'd really be curious to know how you managed it
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
If you're on a stock AT&T build, you should still be able to root with GingerBreak, but then again, I'm not even sure if they have sideloading enabled yet, so that may not even be an option. It's been nothing but GingerBlur and HKTW for me since they were released.

Alright, Currently I have the 2.3.4 gingerbread version of the Atrix rooted. For some reason I can not get any of the wireless tethering root apps to work. This includes Wireless tether for root users, wifi tether and barnacle. None of these would work on my previous 2.2.2 root either. Any help? the logs say the programs are running fine but none of my devices can pick up the phone. This includes laptops and me Eee Pad. I have changed the SSID, added and removed wep. I do not know what I am doing wrong....
I know this probably won't help much but the same thing was happening to me when I first rooted my Atrix and the Wireless Tether app. I turned off the password and everything worked fine after that. I can always see who is trying to connect to my network anyway so I know if anybody is trying to steal my network.

They can tell much easier that you are tethering without a plan if you are using custom APN's.
The custom apn will not work on gingerbread. The ota will not allow changes like froyo did.

What exactly are you trying to do?
I have no access to a computer while I'm away from home. The idea like to have a safety net to recover my phone if something unfortunate happens.

Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
you could use an ssh client on your tablet and run an ssh server on your phone or vice versa. Essentially you can do everything you can do with adb from the command line shell. If you don't know how to do that, just reply and I can tell you. Better to reply here so others can see as well than a PM just in case you do.

I think what he's wanting to do is use fastboot commands as well as ADB commands. Not just the bash shell. Am I right?
It's also possible to compile adb (and any other part of the android toolkit, though some would be obviously useless) for ARM since it's opensourced.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5904765/build-android-adb-for-arm-processor
Have to cross compile and all that or google around and find a precompiled ARM binary.
Would I personally want to cross compile all of it? Not really, lol. Compiling just adb alone would be easier though.
Loonatic is correct, id like to have access to fastboot commands aswell as adb commands.
The SSH I don't think would be a problem setting up, but the SSH is only useful if the phone is operational.
Having access to fastboot commands via the tab is what id like so atleast if I borked something I've got a means to recover.
Out of curiousity what instances would SSH from one to the other be practical vs using the terminal? (Don't take that as being smart ass I'm really unsure)

I guess you would prefer having a larger keyboard of the tablet plus the terminal emulator is sort of crap. You can retrieve your last commands easily or copy and paste easily (assuming the client on your device functions better).
It's possible to compile fastboot like adb for ARM since it's in the toolkit as well, but I don't think I would personally want to spend somewhere between 2-5 hours or so figuring out why some random library is missing or some of the weird errors that pop up when you use the NDK or the Code Sourcery Toolchains (dealing with ffmpeg, bash, busybox and the android kernel was enough). I encourage you to try it though and if you encounter any errors I can try to help you figure them out, but I just don't have the time or motivation to do it myself since it's not that useful to me and I don't think too many others are looking for it either.
However even if it were compiled, I think the issue would be if you can actually do something liek connect via fastboot over a wireless tcp connection (since it works from such a low level) from one device to the other since I don't think a usb cable is going to work when the devices in question are a tablet and a phone. I know you can for adb, but fastboot, I don't know. That would be the question you would have to figure out first before even dealing with anything else.
I was hoping that since my iconia has a full USB port that I could somehow take advantage of already having those hardware drives in place. I see how this becomes a large predicament with other tabs that don't have. Full USB port.
I've read around and haven't really come across much useful information.
I think it would be useful to other users if there hardware met the requirements.

Hmm...you might be able to if it has a full usb port. Still need to compile it though
If there were enough interest, I would take a shot at it, but that's the first tablet I heard of having a full usb port.
Only tablet I have is the HP touchpad and it doesn't have a full size usb port, otherwise I wouldn't mind having adb and fastboot on it.
If you can come up with some other tablets that have a full port (at least a few), I'll try compiling it and see how much of a pain it is.
I think the iconia is the only tab with a full usb, don't quote me on that though tech changes too fast

May be a good reason to get an iconia
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
That is pretty nice that it has a full usb port, kind of surprised any do.
Perhaps ask how many are interested under the iconia forum? Might also find someone else that wants to try taking up cross compiling it as well that has it. If not and there's enough interest, I wouldn't rule out attempting it.
Will ask around over there.

Its honestly about how much data you end up using, if you go crazy and start using 50gb then they will want to switch you.
They give warnings before they do anything and they are starting to throttle people after a certain point.
You can try this for USB Tethering - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424676
He claims to found a way to hide it but they still know how much data you use.
Basically, don't use a desktop browser. It's one of the #1 ways to get the tether police on your ass. People are getting nastygrams after only using the "desktop useragent" feature of Dolphin HD 2-3 times.
Otherwise, native tethering (remove TetheringManager2.apk if on a stock ROM) works best. Only one that isn't adhoc.
OK. So I was in iHell for a few years and got pretty good with the file system/ jailbreaking. So I've since been paroled (from Jail-breaking :l ) and PRESTO!!! Im a noob again.
Im still debating on flashing but im gonna root for sure. I need to check my facts here. I can root via any mentioned method. I'll need to install titanium (?) to freeze that network check to use the native hotspots. (The name of that file escapes me but I can search it up later)
Anything else for now? Is busybox worth it?
On a semi-related note, I've not had multiple ROMs available to me. What's the benifit to other Roms? I mean what does CM have that stock doesn't? Is there a break down or spread sheet to compare capabilities?
This may sound goofy, but I can already do everything that I wanted my old iPhone to do on stock, but if flashing will bring more, cooler, and
as yet unimagined toys to my newly Android enriched life, I'm all about flashing. What say you XDA?
Sorry for the long post. Caffeine makes me type a lot.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
Well follow the guide inn general about how to flash custom binaries, it'll help. Also, most rooms take care of the tetheringmanager2.apk sup you don't need to do anything else, it works out of the box. Make sure to use a mobile user agent while browsing, and you should be fine.
As a starting point, I suggest unnamed or icscrewed (both roms I've personally tried and that both are great)
The most common side effect of having a custom ROM is the desire to show it off, awesome battery life, good support and limitless customization. Just read before you do anything and you'll be golden.

Once rooted you will open the phone to all sorts of performance and customization opportunities including free wifi tethering. Depending on the custom ROM you choose to go with, wifi tethering may come included in the ROM (eg. it does in Thundershed). If not, there are a few good ones in the Play Store, eg Wifi Tether, Barnacle, and Open Garden. All will work, and all are free. I had most success and best performance with Wifi Tether, but YMMV as every device seems to work a little differently.

If it has CWM then chances are it either was, or still is rooted. Can you reboot into the OS on the phone, or can you only get to CWM? If you can get into the OS normally, check to see if Superuser is installed.
