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,
has gingerblur come out for bell atrix?

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
I want Gingerbread. I have a company phone and need to keep it fairly stock. I like and currently have root access. Everything I have been reading has been about Root + Unlock. I just want to update and root. Any advice?
Just flash the stock Gingerbread then re-root. There are all kinds of rooting guides available.

I have a Desire-Z and it had GB, but the forums I followed insisted that I must downgrade it to Frodo before rooting, as there is currently no way to root it in GB. So that is what I have done and I have root. Like you I want to go to GB but keeping root. I'm pretty sure there is a way, but I dont yet know how. That method is what I too am looking for. So there would need to be a way to preserve the root you've got while upgrading to GB. If upgrading causes you to lose root in GB, you wont be able to get it back without downgrading again unless someone comes up with a method that works for GB. If you find a way before me, let me know. Cheers.

The method at briefmobile has always worked for me. However, you might also want to look at swiftks' "[Updated 2-11-2012] THE BEGINNERS (N00B) GUIDE!!! N00BS LOOK HERE FOR YOUR HOW TOs" that should be pinned at the top of this forum. There is a section in it called "HOW TO ROOT YOUR DEVICE ON ANDROID 2.3.4:".
canopic, root methods vary from phone to phone. It is quite possible to root the Atrix on gingerbread. I don't know anything about the Desire-Z though.
Just got an update on LG Optimus G, does anyone know what in it?

I'm not sure but I got it too. It failed when trying to update though. Probably because I already rooted it?
I went ahead and let it update, it's a small 3.5 MB update so definitely not anything dramatic. Changed software version from E97010l to E97010o. No change in kernel or baseband version. Will check and see if root method for international Optimus G still works...
EDIT: Root still works. Haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary, so feel free to update without the fear of losing root.
Here's a question: How are these updates pushed? My E970 is operating on Rogers and has actually NEVER been registered or run on AT&T. Are these updates pushed via the AT&T network to registered/operating phones, or via the Internet to specific IMEIs? In other words, will my phone ever get updates like this pushed?
How do we opt out of updates?

Hooray Arkansas! Anyway, I used Titanium Backup (after rooting and unlocking bootloader) to delete the LG FOTA app. I still get the FOTA notification, and it tries to install it. However, FOTA's install using stock recovery, and if you unlock your bootloader your stock recovery is overwritten by Clockwork Mod recovery so the device just reboots
Anyone else getting better battery life? It's been 12 hours since I last charged my phone and I've barely cracked off a 3rd of the charge.
This may be a question for another thread, but my update failed (guessing because my phone is rooted). If I temporarily un-root my phone and apply the update, would it work? I can then go back and root it again if need be, but I really just wanted to remove some AT&T apps and that was the only reason I rooted it in the first place.
Now I wonder if I've created a headache for myself in regards to updates. I should have done more research before rooting!

Like Deathmonkey said, the update fails because of your custom recovery. You would have to flash your stock recovery in order to receive the OTA. I think you can see how yo do this in the rooting guide thread.

what is the latest version of the software on your phone? I have E97010o, i sthis the latest version? I have a really bad battery drain due to fast dormancy on 3g and just wanted to check if the latest version takes care of this.

Man, I'm really sorry to be an idiot, but I couldn't find what you were talking about. I found the root guide in this forum, but there's zero mention of a recovery. Can you point me to the thread? Sorry, and thank you again.

I was under the impression that only the unlock installs a custom recovery. Does the root do this too?

That's a good question. All I did was root and uninstall a few AT&T apps. That's it. I haven't installed any custom recovery, but maybe that was done somehow?
Lesson learned for me: don't go messing with crap until I do my research
Edit: tried a hard reset, no luck of course. Only thing that did for me was buy me two hours now of trying to reinstall my apps. This is depressing.

Sorry to bump this back up. Just got my phone last night and rooted it with this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941699
This morning I saw that my phone has an update available. Is it safe to update if I defrost all my frozen bloatware (I did not delete any of them, just frozen)?
I've read that I should not do OTA if I unlocked the bootloader whichI have not done, only root. I also searched and found out that I should not do OTA if I have a custom recovery which I do not think I have from the rooting directions from the thread above. Just trying to be cautious.
This update does not fix our fast_dormancy problem. I tried it on my OG the first couple days. I am now rooted, unlocked and running nottach custom att Rom.

Thanks for the reply. Was your phone rooted before installing the update?
Hello. I may be repeating some other threads, but I could not find the answer. Is there a one click or other method to root a CDMA Motorola Droid Razr after update to Jelly Bean 4.1.2? The phone has never been rooted before.
Thanks guys!
+1 I'd like to know too, just in case. My phone is rooted I just want to know if I botch the install I can still get root.

Not yet.
I hope they find a root method soon. I bricked mine on the leak, and had to reinstall it, losing root in the process. You never realize how great root is until its gone lol.

Yeah, I lost root access when I did a manual flash update via the SD card and the leaked image...and the root method mentioned on androidgadgetmatic (I would post link but im a new member) is not working in any way...If there is any help anywhere that would be awesome....I kinda need root to live...

There is a fix for those who were rooted and lost root during the update....
It is in this thread somewhere (sorry I don't have time to find it) You had to heve Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to start out with for the utility to work.
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...original-verizon-droid-razr-how-to-keep-root/
I'll keep browsing through what is or isn't compatible. Perhaps one of our amazing Dev's is already on this. Can't imagine it will be long
sicne you cant flash back to ics no, i voodoo'ed before i came over to JB and when when i checked root on JB with rootchecker from the app store it said it wasn't rooted, but titanium back up and other rooted apps said that the device was rooted properly. i ment to test it some more and make sure i was really rooted

If you backed up root with voodoo and went to jb then use matt's root fixer to get root working properly again

I am in need of the same answer. Thanks for asking it.
If you were not rooted before updating to JB then there is no way (yet) to root JB.
I have to ask... Why would someone who was not rooted suddenly decide they needed root after updating? I can understand if you lost root due to being one of the ones that did get the OTA but why all of a sudden decide you need root.
Thread moved. Please post all questions here in Q&A in future.
Thanks

I am in the same boat as the OP so I will provide my reasoning for wanting root now.
This new stock JB load now forces a check against your verizon account when you attempt to turn on any form of tethering. This includes the builtin wireless hotspot AND unfortunately FoxFi wifi/bluetooth. So as of right now I went from an excellent mobile internet connection to share with my Asus TF700 tablet to now having no internet sharing capability.
Grrrrrrrrr......
I followed the thread's instructions above by using voodoo rootkeeper. (droidrzr - Matt's post: New JB update how to keep root)
When you are following Matt's instructions, DO NOT FORGET to update SU binaries. Do this before you protect root, then use voodoo to protect root, temp unroot. Then Protect root, then temp unroot AGAIN. Finally, PROTECT ROOT before you actually flash the update.
Worked for me like a charm. Now im trying to make a JB-leak rom

same happened to me. Heard some of the devs are working though
Don't expect a quick solution for this from djrbliss...it is not likely to be coming soon.
Nobody else of his caliber is working on root exploits for Motorola devices unfortunately, and very few people understand the value and uniqueness of his contribution to the Motorola community.
He has rooted every Motorola device since the D3 and everyone who has used a rooted Motorola owes him a huge debt of gratitude.
Just sayin'...
I too lost root after my Jelly Bean update. Unless there is a better thread to keep my eye on, I'll keep my eye on this one for a rooting method for my RAZR XT912. If I hear of anything somewhere else, I'll come back here and let people know. I hope others will do the same.

First i would like to say i don't have this phone. But i was wondering if a sbf file could be put together like the one that is used to downgrade the D3. I don't know if this could be done from JB>ICS or not but i thought it might be worth a look. Droid 3 downgrade sbf
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.
