Hey I am confused too coming from a x10 too. Lol I am taking it slow. If I recall the easiest method to root I think is the fast method if you can find a tortourial.

Hey guys, i got my atrix earlier this morning and have been trying to root and unlock the device. While unlocking the devices was easy thanks to this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
got got to the end of it and my atrix says unlocked when it boots up which is great but i can't seem to root the devices i have tried a lot of the thread here, i won't be able to fix the ram problem without root .Could anyone help me out?
As far as i know there is no direct rooting method for 2.3.6 yet, ideally you would have been better off rooting 2.3.4 and using OTA Rootkeeper and then updating to 2.3.6. Shouldn't be long before someone comes out with a root method for your version.
hmm so i'm stuck with this for now? i came from a rooted milestone so i don't really know but i can't flash any rom for now right?
After a little surfing the guys down in Brazil claim to be rooting their Atrix phones running 2.3.6 using the SuperOneClick method i'm not sure if you've tryed it yet but it's worth a shot.
SuperOneClick thread:

If you can't find a working SuperOneClick download link there's this one:

Edit: As for the installing of custom ROMs without root i'm not to sure about that sorry.
thanks a lot i'll try if it works
Edit: it seems that it is working you just made my day even better
edit 2: i got superuser installed but i can't seem to be able to delete/rename the install-recovery.sh as stated in the guide' i'll try to see what is wrong
edit 3: i am rooted and titanium back up works i'll take a break and figure out the rest later thanks again
Try using the root explorer in the ROM Toolbox app, supposedly some file explorers will not give you the proper access levels to delete or rename the files correctly. Read that in tayshun12's thread:

mods delete please delete thread thank you
You can upgrade to 2.3.4 via sbf for cm7 and cm9 or take the ota to 2.3.5 for eclipse rom. Voodoo ota root keeper does work I am not sure if an ota will take you to 2.3.4 or if it will go directly to 2.3.5 . And you should root with Pete's easy root. There is zergrush but that moves some system files that sometimes messes with custom roms. Also delete your backup of su in root keeper after upgrade before flashing rom at least on eclipse. I had a Droid x and got the x2 as a warranty replacement i was first excited then came to be dissapointed. Thankfully the dx2 forum is the best out there and we've got a few excellent devs.

Ok, So I updated my phone via Kies and got the official ICS update (Finally) for my AT&T Galaxy Note, Problem is, as expected... it unrooted my phone and I'd like it rooted again, I want to keep the new official stock ICS rom and just want it rooted again to delete all that garbage bloatware to keep my phone sharp, any help?
Do i just re-root it doing it the same way I did before?
Will it ruin my new ICS rom?
Can anyone link me to the files that will root my phone but keep the ICS Stock Rom?
I didnt have a single problem Rooting it the first time on ginerbread, but Im not sure what will happen with a different official rom installed. Just dont wanna have to reinstall ICS again or something, when I just spent about an hour setting it back to how I had everything, then remembered updating unrooted me.
Any advice or help is really appreciated!
Thanks!
Not really in right section more like a Q&A section.
However the devs need a little time to sort through all the code but these guys are smart and root will come soon and they will proudly announce it. Just enjoy for now.

I just odined the cwm .tar and then flashed the superuser .zip (both can be found in the general section, just do a search) and I'm rooted on the official update.

My links....look for gnote page...
ok so just do odin again liek i did before?
And I hope im not asking too much, but can anyone link me to the files I need directly? The last ones I used was from a source outside of XDA (xda was down for maintenance) and I think it gave me a virus on my computer and after doign a system restore today i dont wanna do that again lol. so if its not a problem can someone link me to the right files i need?
Thanks everyone!
Yes.
Now look one post above your last one.
To see the links Mr. Joe is referencing you need to be on a pc.
To install CWM you need to be on a pc.
To root you need a pc.
Mr.Joe would only post trusted links.

I successfully updated my Note to ICS yesterday and want to root it again as well. I looked through the Note section in BigJoe's thread, but can't figure out exactly what files I need. I rooted it with Gingerbread without issue. I've looked through the unlocking/rooting section and the one thread that explains how to root specifically says that the method will NOT work with the official ICS update.
Sorry to sound so dense, but could someone link exactly which files I/we need to root the official ICS via Odin?
What you asked for is in the third post.

ps that odin3 file doesnt work just gives a random script window then force closes
So I rooted my phone about 3 days ago using a not so popular method i think. I rooted my phone without using a computer or a dock and pushed the tmp file with terminal emulator. That's not my issue though. My issue is that I attempted to install cm9 but I F**cked up because i am new at this kinda stuff. Now My phone is bricked and all it says is "failed to boot 2 starting RSD mode" I cant do anything though. I am downloading 1FF sunfire user 2.3.4 zip i have RSDLite 5.5 I cant seem to find the SBF for it.
If someone could help me by giving me step by step instructions it would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
I need Urgent Help as I am leaving out of town this weekend and I need my phone working by then. PLEASE HELP
Thanks,

Mario did you do the OTA to 2.3.5? If so you have a expensive paper weight. The new OTA doesn't allow flashing.

No worries, you'll be fine. Sounds like you're having the same problem as another gentleman we've been helpin for the past couple days. You've flashed a rom that you can only use while having an unlocked bootloader. Please refer to my post in his thread right here for a link to an sbf and video directions. This will only work if you rooted while you had 2.3.4. If you took the recent ota update from moto that put you on 2.3.5 then I can't help you.

I think I read a few posts where people got the same error message from the ota update. Try telling them thats what happened and return it.

You can root 2.3.5 just fine. You just can't install custom ROMs if you had it. No you're not bricked, it would have just been an easy fix if you tried this while having 2.3.4 installed. If you had 2.3.5, you just made it extremely difficult on yourself. Hope isn't lost, your just out of my area of expertise. Should have read around the forums a bit more, the 2.3.5 issue is common knowledge round here.
