Ok this might seem a stupid question but i am anoyed by the market.
I am with bell canada (quebec) and now i search for great apps in the market but I can't even find appbrain (wich I had on my Samsung Galaxy S)
If i Root my Motorola Atrix (MB860 Version 2.2.2) Will I be able to see all apps in the market?
I'm afraid to Brick my phone
Thanks!
You know this isn't really a stupid question. I have noticed when going from rom to rom,that search results in the market are different. Kinda strange lol

To tell the truth,to the best of my knowledge, there is no safe or easy way. Just read,read....read some more,until you think you got it,then go for it. The best guide your gonna find is always located in the stickys. As far as best rom,some can throw opinions, but a rom always come down to what the users prefer. Like I said,reading and reading is the best way to go.

Why dont you hang on tight a few more weeks. I have an AT&T version (which I bought and unlocked to put on Telus), and I installed the 2.3 Gingerbread update and I have that app installed on my Atrix. Honestly, the new market looks great. Have you got the update to that yet? If it hasn't updated from the market google "android market update" and you will find it. It makes things a lot easier to navigate.
Can anyone help with this issue

To all of you that are tired of the long, not so simple way to root your Optimus One, I just came across this. Although it says it's for gingerbread, it worked for me. I'm using original 2.2.1 firmware.
Hope you're gonna find this useful!
hi cristi_bostan2005,
thanks for the information. I have tried and it also work with Android Version 2.2.2, software version v10f-FEB-24-2011
Does this mean no need of downgrading any more to install custom roms? Also is it safe to use it on our phone?
this is great news, though I'm still on v10b
where is detail i m not able to see it
thanks for this i rooted my phone using this was running froyo 2.2.2 with out the requirement of downgrade was able to root the phone successfully
? I am not seeing any info regarding app...what is the method?
For those that didn't see the link, here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
It's an app, similar to z4root that can root your phone, without you needing to downgrade as before. It's very simple.
Follow the link, download the latest apk to your phone, install it, run it and that's it!

How many minutes did it take to root the phone? Mine is taking forever... :-S
not very long... about 30 seconds to 1 minute i think ??
Going to reboot and try again then.
but:
Some important things to know:
- You must have USB debugging enabled on your device
- You need to have an SD card (formatted and) inserted
- The APK must be install to device, NOT SD card
- The exploit may take a while to run, but not more than 10 minutes, if it does, get me a logcat, and reboot the device
- Always reboot between root attempts!
- While (temporary?) root access may be attained, due to locked bootloaders, efuses, S-ON, and whatnot this may still not work on your device
- The GingerBreak exploit should not be used to attain temproot and continue using the device. It fscks vold, you do not want to be running like that. You want to reboot! So if the root doesn't stick, you (still) have a problem.
Nope, it wasn't running properly, I waited more than 10 minutes.
I've rebooted and tried to run it again and this time it rooted the phone in less than 30 seconds. It was something that was amiss I guess.
Rooted in few minutes on V10E (2.2.2) Italian No Brand.
is it permanent root? i'm wondering if the phone can still be Unrooted after using this app? sorry for the noob question.

Oh !! Just came across this post would have decreased my pain of downgrading to lower version for rooting which i did a few days ago
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.
Hello Hello!
Okay so i am new to the forum and i hope im posting this to the right place! so i am not a total noob to this type of stuff but i recently got the Atrix 4G and am having a HECK of a time doing what i need (not sure if i will get shut down, but in short i want to be able to use the wifi hot spot tethering running on straight talk)
i have read through post after post and have tried every variation on this site and about 3 others for root my phone but none seem to work... It is my understanding that i need to unlock the boot loader in order to root this phone but all of the boot loader unlocks dont work.
Here is my phone info:
Model: MB860
Android: 2.3.6
Kernel verson: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: 4.5.141
if anyone is willing and capable i will be very appreciative of any help!
Rooting is for getting extra access to your phone that require such rights to do so. Unlocking is needed for installing custom ROMS.
If you are looking for a way to root your phone, then check out "Doomlord's method". I don't have the link handy, but just Google "Doomlord root Atrix" and take the first result...

I need help rooting this tablet. The Proscan plt4311-pl is a small tablet running Android 4.0. I have tried OneClickRoot and SuperOneClick, neither worked. I am new to this but I would love to have full control over my tablet and install a custom ROM. Can someone please help me and put it in terms that a newbie can understand!
root proscan plt4311
This is a MIPS based tablet. (Actions 7013 based). Most apps and binaries are made for ARM. That is why the tools you mentioned didn't work. I think there is a list keeping track of what apps work and/or have been ported over at the Ainol Novo 7 basic threads.
I managed to get root access, but there's many steps involved, and honestly I'm gonna have to go back and figure exactly what I did after I get some rest but below are the tools&links and some basic instructions.
******OOps, guess I can't post links as a new user. type freetexthost.com/xvfjzr1ltq into your browser for my notes on rooting the Proscan Plt4311*********
******Edit #2: I soft bricked it trying to install ICS gapps. I re-flashed the firmware and rooted the tablet again, much quicker this time. And I managed to get play store and some other apps going. I should have a ready made script after work tommorow for you and all the other Big Lots bargain shoppers who bought this tablet (I got mine for $40!)

Just got mine on sale for $17.99 on Newegg Flash, came in the mail today. It's still doing the first charge on my 3A, shouldn't take long (no devil emote?) Can't wait to see what you devs can do for this thing! Although it is MIPS I'm sure simple apps and roms will run fine, but ARM is still preferable. But hey, it was $18. What do you expect?

I use the term "devs" very loosely here. Basically anyone willing to work on it. The first thing I'm gonna do is try to get into Recovery, and from there you could theoretically root it, install Gapps, etc.

Still no luck here with rooting, all I got so far was the Google Apps package in.
You can root with:
POOT: This app is a one click root app. No computer needed
Framaroot: Framaroot is a oneclick root app . No computer needed
This is the most popular one!
Z4Root: Z4Root is an oneclick root app . No computer needed
Towelroot: Towelroot is an oneclick root app. No computer needed
Baidu: No information
Vroot: No information
Gingerbreak: This app can root almost all gingerbread devices

No more than you are right now- just stay away from unknown apps, or those available from questioned sources (most malicious threats are disguised as known apps), and use only mods/frameworks from known developers here in XDA...
A words of advice- make sure you recognize the apps you let them root access (cf-Auto root includes SuperSU- an app which acts as 'firewall' between aps and root access- so make sure to update it when needed), and second-
ALWAYS READ THE APP'S PERMISSIONS REQUEST BEFORE INSTALLING
