Download SQLite Editor
Go to: Settings Storage (2nd one) > settings.db > settings
Once you're there, find "entitlement_check" and change the field to the right from "1" to "disabled"
Then reboot your phone and you should be able to tether.
Hope this helps.

I can't help you then, but I'm just curious... what's your opposition to rooting your phone? If you're a fan of modding, rooting is a MUST.

Flashing your phone is fairly simple, I recommend you use RSD Lite to flash this SBF:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138204
It will unlock your bootloader and root your phone w/o you having to do anything but flash the SBF.

Hi,
Very frustrated noobe looking for expert help!!!
I rooted(i think/hope) my att us Atrix via fastboot and preinstall.img
downloaded superuser and terminal emulator and ran a script found somewhere here
Then download SQLite editor from the market to access the file quoted above and make the change that enables wifi tethering.
PROBLEM: When i try to access the place where the DB file is(or should be) editor displays "not a database file" and this happen with any DB file.
Any ideas why that should happend??? Might it be phone is not properly rooted? SQLite editor does say "sqlite has been granted superuser access"
Please help

So how can I root my phone after the 4.1.83 update?

use gladenable for sideloading and tethering.
Ok so I fixed the Tethering problem because i just had to reset the adapter in my laptop and all is good now. It worked before so it couldnt have been the driver problem.

Can I root 1.8.3 if I never rooted my device before? I am at 1.8.3.
According to Moto downgrading from 1.8.3 is not a good idea.

Yes u can. I have also updated and flashed back to 4.1.57 and updated back to 4.1.83 and rooted using gingerbreak

Yes, with gingerbreak
Once you update to the latest Atrix 4G release, do not downgrade to a previous version or you will lose functionality. A file system change was made to improve data integrity (for the technically inclined, journaling was enabled on a partition). Once updated, the change cannot be undone through flashing.
Is it safe to flash back?

from what i understand your suppose to be able to put it on the sd card on the phone...click it and it run... correct? well idk if other atrix's are different which i know there not....it cannot run, install or do anything unless it is from the market....and it doesn't have the option of an unknown sources check box
i tried using the command prompt before and have tried to learn but i can never get the hang of it....or it never worked for me
only reason i was trying to root (was) is so i could do my hotspot seeing as me and my wife do storm chasing and need the access to the internet but i can setup a whole new apn and do the samething......just have to find att apn settings again
ginger break installed or popped up after trying several time the three different ways to get it on the phone....owell thanks for the help

hm, maybe try to uninstall v1.1 first (settings->applications->manage applications->Gingerbreak->uninstall). download the v1.2 apk. Install v1.2 onto your Atrix with the instructions here, something like (once your phone is connected, debugging mode enabled, USB mode none:
adb devices ->output should list a device, your atrix
adb install C:\directory where you downloaded the apk\GingerBreak-v1.20.apk
the gingerbreak app should now be on your phone, run it and then unroot

Your doing it wrong.
You could also move gladroot to an SD card and execute through file manager to install it.
I could be wrong, but you could probably just delete the su and superuser.apk and you should be unrooted.

Not true, either part. Wtf.
Safest route........flash sbf and be done with it. By time you find the magic shortcut that will fu*k your phone up you could have flashed 4.1.26 and updated OTA TO 4.1.83.

I thought the sbf made it not an "official build" and then wouldn't OTA update? Have a friend with an Atrix same issue can't seem to unroot so hoping someone can give some clear steps that I can pass on. I believe he used aRoot originally to root it...

No. SBF is the official build. SBF does not keep you from OTA update.

Im a noob but not to rooting i have tried every method possible still no luck.some 1 bought this phone from over seas (i am in Jamaica) it is running on gsm mode i cant even see what prl im on wen i go into setting about phone.i think if it was activated then i wouldn't have all these prob.the phone was his personal device when he sold me he call and canceled it. So i am at a loss rite know because he cant ask for msl code for a phone he reported lost
as ive said before. If you are having problems rooting or think its not working try to put your phone in charge only mode under usb. Bet that will fix it for you.

1. Go to Settings/Application/development menu and make sure that USB debugging is checked
2. Open Notification screen by swipe down from the top of the screen, you should see USB connection. Choose that and make sure choose "Charge Only" and click OK
3. Download Superuser from Market and install it on your phone.
4. go to Settings/Display/Screen Timeout and choose never
5. Download drivers, ADB packages, Root files from the link below and extract them to your C drive under Root directory (C:\Root). Then just follow the direction of the link below to root your phone.
http://briefmobile.com/how-to-root-motorola-photon-4g
If you follow the direction correctly, If i remember correctly at the last step your phone Superuser application should popup and ask you to allow the root process to access root. Click OK then you are root

Download "Terminal Emulator" if you dont already have it.
Open it and type these commands:

As far as I know, there are a couple of methods both of which require your device to be rooted.
You can root using THIS method, remove the service menu ( that image on your screen) and then unroot using that same method.
It wont void your warranty, if thats whats worrying you.

It's missing a file. You need root to create the file which is missing. Either that, or flash back to Gingerbread.

Has anyone made any kind of progress with the Kyocera Hydro Icon?

1.I have rooted my icon via Bin4rys root with restore v35.
After rooting,my root apps seem to function to their fullest potential.
2.i was able to get into stock recovery via terminal,im unsure of the button combo if there is one.
"su reboot recovery" gives me that android recovery 3e.also there is am option,"apply update from sdcard".maybe thats a way custom recovery can be loaded?
Im not a pro at all this,i just know some basic info about bash.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

after reading thru the script, and several other tools that use this exploit, i have noticed that my phone doesn't have /system/app/Backup-restore.apk (best i can tell thats a xperia app) or /system/bin/ric. it seems the exploit works via some bug in these two files. could you look and see if your phone has these files? and if so, what version of the system software are you running?
System software version is 1.003BT,& i have a backuprestore apk & odex file in my /system/app directory.

Hi i read your help request in twrp thread and i can try to help you.is there any source about your device?
you will need to provide more than these 2 files for twrp to be compiled...
kernel would be needed but also device information...and some others file(s) like init.rc
can you provide kernel, stock boot.img(or working custom boot.img) ...might be needed some part of official recovery .
What is device resolution?
you can pm me if you want, i can try to compile Twrp for you...
i don't own the device so you will be on your own to push recovery in device and test it.
I can get you the stock boot img,im not sure about the kernel id have to be near a pc to split it to get the kernel.as far as i know there is no source.
EDIT:I found a guide to dump & split the boot image on my phonr,and succeeded.i will upload the boot.img,kernel & anything else you need t my dropbox folder ive shared.
