So, I got an Atrix a few days ago and decided that it would be a good idea to root it. I ran the GingerBreak.exe file that i found on this site. I followed the instructions to the letter and got a reboot when it was done. It now has an app on there called Superuser, as it is supposed to. To the best of my knowledge the root was sucsessfull, however, I try and install CWM recovery, so that i can install something other than MotoBlur, and when i click the app to install from my sd card it tells me that for my own protection i can only run apps from trusted places. I have seached through as many forums as my eyes can handle and if anyone can tell me how to get this damb thing to work the way i want it to.

Be right with you one sec...
Ok, sorry, first check to see if you have the option to check unknown sources, under the settings -> Application Settings.
Furthermore, I think the best way for you to do it and also get you comfortable with the file structure of your new phone would be to download Root Explorer & SQLite Editor from the market. Yes, I know they cost a few $$ but you will use them both in the future, and they are well worth it.
Once those are installed, use Root Explorer to navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
Click on settings.db and it will open with SQLite Editor.
Select "secure"
Change the value of "instal_non_market_apps" from 0 to 1, by holding down on 0 and selecting edit field. Save Changes, and back out to Root Explorer and exit.
Phone may require a re-boot.
You should now be good to go for installing non market .apk files.
Plus, now that you know how to do all that, you can also try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980636
After getting CWM installed, I would suggest installing a P-ROM, such as Gingerblur or GladAtrix. These will de-odex your system and get rid of the bloatware:
Gingerblur:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991595
GladAtrix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019097
Also, you may want to attempt to unlock the boot loader (if your on a US AT&T Atrix), that way once true ROMs start coming out, you can flash them too.

You gotta get something enabled called sideloading working. look for something called gladenable http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017373 that'll do it or grab droid explorer http://de.codeplex.com/ that will force the install from your comp without sideloading enabled.
You can also check you have root by using the following free app from the Market:
Root Checker
Rooted with Gingerbreak

Hi can you unroot ?
I was like you at first. I rooted a couple days ago but I couldn't download any untrusted sources apps. I was gonna go the sideloading route or use gladenabler or something. But I ran out of time near a pc to load all that stuff. So I was searching root android apps on the market and came across one called Non-Market apps enabler. It costs $1.39 or something. I was skeptical of it but I said since so cheap, let me try it out. I downloaded n installed. The app works flawlessly n like a charm. It brought the option into settings to check off allow untrusted sources download n install. It works. Ever since then, I'm now downloading any n every app I want. From the market or not. This is the fastest way to get the option checkbox untrusted sources into your rooted phone. I thought it was b.s. Bit it really works and I don't have to do all that sideloading or putting glandenabler or all that into my phone. I have the checkbox marked off now n I download what I want. Good luck. N remember, it's called Non-market apps enabler. I'm on froyo 2.2.2 build 4.1.8.3 , rooted using gingerbreak and it worked for me instantly!
NOTE: These rooting methods may not work after you install the OTA.
Use Amon Ra recovery to install superuser
This should give you root for ICS Here
Perm Root Method - Gingerbread only
If you unlocked the bootloader with HTCDev.com then use the OneClickRoot with pure zergRush for perm root exploit
Download - OneClickRoot
Once you are perm rooted you can use the disable, enable, Wireless Tether and adblock options in the tool.
===============================================================================
Temp Root Method
Use the root option in the Tool which is only good for temp root with the locked bootloader.
===============================================================================
Tool
New version of temp root to make it easier to use with more options.
Menu driven including:
Temp root
Disable and enable application and other packages
Wireless Tether
Ad block
See screenshot below for all options.
Temp root now holds until reboot.
Disabled applications hold until enabled.
Updated and Working:
Latest zergRush package
Latest adb inline
Latest Superuser and su binary are installed if not already installed
Latest busybox
Thanks to scrosler for the idea of including the application disabling as part of the tool.
Thanks to con247 and meizu devs for the zergRush script that persists until reboot
NOTE: If this does not work for you try scrosler's or con247's versions. Subtle difference may make one or the other work better for you.
Instructions:
Extract all of zip file to your PC
Open folder (do not rename files folder)
Reboot your phone
Make sure HTC Sync is not running on PC
Connect phone in Charge only mode
Double click TempRootTool.bat
Run your choices and exit
Mount SD Card in Settings > SD and phone storage
Have fun.
NOTE: If you do lose root reboot first then reapply.
Menu Options:
1) Temp Root Device - Will temp root your phone and install Superuser if it is not already installed
2) Disable applications - Will disable applications in your application list
3) Enable applications - Will enable applications in your application list
4) Edit Applications List - Will put the application list in notepad for editing (currently set for the bloat I disable)
5) Install Wireless Tether
6) Install ad block host file
R) === Reboot your Device === - Will reboot your device. Reboot if you don't need temp root after managing applications
H) Help - Help information
ENTER - Exit
Download Temp Root Tool v2
Ill try it on Wednesday when I get the device. Atleast we can use titanium.
One thing I was thinking is there any way we can boot into custom recovery with temp root? Because I know on one phone that I rooted for someone it would just reboot into a temporary custom recovery from which stuff could be flashed. Obviously if it boot looped you needed to RUU restore but it was worth the trouble to get root.
is this wireless tether app susceptible to verizon identifying unauthorized wifi tether use? I know on other devices only certain ROMS are safe.
Just tried this. Unfortunately it doesn't work at all for me. I tried running Cache Cleaner NG and it said that it was unable to get root permissions. I tried clicking on SuperUser (the app itself) and it FCs every time.
EDIT: Rebooted and tried again and it appears to be working.
EDIT2: Not working again. Seems to only last a few minutes.
Alright enough is enough. Imma try it.now. all this talk about root is driving me nuts. Thanks Nils..

I tried to get temp root using the zerg technique, and it didn't work too good. I want to try this method, but I'm not sure how to remove the Superuser from my first attempt. It doesn't show up as an uninstallable app. Can anyone shed some light for me? Thanks!
its worked for me! though it still didnt mount the SD, so i took off the back lifted the battery a LITTLE and used a paper clip to slide out the sd and then to slide it back in. then i went to TI and it didnt want to work, so i uninstalled and reinstalled both, and then it worked. now i have everything frozen that i wanted.
The first try it worked but something didnt go through so i reboot the phone tried it again and worked like a charm. thank you greatly appriciated

Do the things stay frozen after a reboot?

You know, you can go into SETTINGS>SD & Phone Storage and remount it that way... for next time.
I tried this and mine also unmounted my SD Card and Titanium didn't have root access. Uninstalled Titanium and the phone rebooted on its own and is now in a an infinite boot loop. Guess I am going to have to use HBOOT, wipe the phone and start ALL FREAKING OVER AGAIN! fml

Lol, talk about doing it the hard way! Just go to Settings>SD & Phone Storage>Mount SD Card and wa-la! No need to physically slide it out then back in lol.

Nils, question. Do I just download the zip file directly to my phones sdcard in the described folder I would create, then install it from there directly from the phone?

To answer this question, yes they do!!!
So let's start a "What can we safely freeze" list. I was pretty conservative the first time:
Blockbuster
Backup Assistant
VCast
VCast Music
Let's Play Golf
Need for Speed
Rebooted and they're all still gone. Root has been lost though, I'd have to re-run the app to get root back.

Awesome. If they stay frozen i can live without soff/root for much longer.
I am having the same issue with applying the update, root installs fine and when I reboot root is gone, along with Superuser, Busybox, etc. installed it a few times and every time I reboot root gets lost.

Thats the whole point of TEMP root. When you reboot, Root is GONE. You have to Re-root every time you reboot your phone.
hello,
I rooted my SGS2 using the noob friendly method involving chainfire's method. I got the super user permission and cwm app alright.
to verify its working i bought and installed the triangle away app to remove the yellow exclamation symbol at the start. Its a super app and you should buy it as a token of appreciation for the hard work those guys have done
all my data and apps were intact though i had backed them up using mybackup pro.
Then i noticed 3 apps were missing -
xda deevelopers app
merriam websters dictionary
one more i am unable to find because the icon is not showing and i cannot pinpoint what it was ??
I tried to reinstall the 2 apps and after downloading it says - "couldn't install on USB storage or SD card"
to make sure i went ahead and installed a game springshoot and played for a few minutes and it worked fine.
so what went wrong and how do i set it right again ?
---------------------------------------------------------
I also had another doubt.. it was mentioned in the chainfire's thread somewhere that it is closet to the stock kernal and that it is not compatible to the rom manager and we should use cwm to manage app and everything. So what is the difference between the two and should i flash another kernal or rom to make it compatible ?
Also after using the cf method can i install cyanogenmod stable version on my phone now ? is rom manager necessary for installing new roms ?
thanks..
i am sorry but after searching everywhere i still cant find any answers... amybe not searching the right places
can anyone help me with the lost apps.. i still cant install the ones that got uninstalled upon rooting though i did installed titanium backup and did a successful backup and also connectbot and root checker to verify if root access is provided properly...
should i simply do a backup and go for a new custom rom and then install those apps ? i will try cynogenmod now and see if i can reinstall everything back including the lost apps.
will keep posted on how it goes...
Some cf root kernels have issues with external storage. They are flagged with stars. You can
- flash a valid cf root again
- flash your stock kernel then root with the guide method 1 (link in my signature) : proper and no yellow triangle

Hi all,
A few days ago i got my Xiaomi Mi2S 32gb. I have several problems with this device (wifi not working on my home wifi 95% of the time, play store stops working EVERY time after 1 second etc.) and therefore would like to update to the multi language rom. There is a simple guide that provides 2 options to do this.
1. The first one is by using the updater app that should be preinstalled
2. Flashing it using ROM manager --> reboot into recovery.
I currently have MIUI- JLB13.0 (stable) and android version 4.1.1 JRO03L.
Weirdly enough i do NOT have the folder "security center" and therefore do NOT have the updater application so this is not an option. The other option is flash it. I'm kind of a noob so i tried finding out how and it sais that i can use ROM manager for that. Just put the new rom on the sd card, reboot into recovery and voila. This application however has problems as there is no superuser found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su" meaning it is not rooted. Normally people can just go to the LBE guard in the folder "security center" and tell the phone it's ok to root, which is impossible in my case.
If i want to manage permissions and then go to manager root permission it sais "ROOT is not available in MIUI stable" and that i have to change to a developer version to enable root permission. Of course i can then download verion JLB18.0 but how on earth can i get it on there? I could use the MiFlashSetup provided by Xiaomi, but the phone it not recognized when i link it to my pc with USB so that doesn't work either...
I'm very frustrated right now, been working on this phone for days and it still doesn't work so please help me!

If you DO NOT have updater application then it is probably fake, therefore you have so much problems.

Hi,
I am using a htc explorer A310e. I proceeded to root the phone yesterday and the entire process got done perfectly. After the process I installed rootchecker and I was informed that I had successfully rooted my device. After this, I proceeded to install a custom ROM ( The S.H.T.D ROM from this site: theappjuice.com/best-htc-explorer-custom-roms.
After flashing Superuser, and the ROM files as well, my phone seemed to be ok.
Today, I downloaded link2sd on my phone and tried to move apps from my phone memory to the external (I followed the protocol of making partitions on the ext. memory first etc..)
I open the link2sd app>
I'm looking at a box that required me to select the file system of my SD card's second partition>
I select ext2 and click ok>
I'm given a root access warning message ("Link2sd could not obtain root access. If you have root access make sure you respond 'Allow' or 'Grant' to the superuser request.")
So, I go open the Superuser app and I proceed to update my su binary (as per a few tutorial videos I watched).
I try to update. It successfully proceeds up to the point where "Download new binary_okay!"
But then next, "Gaining root access_fail!"
I tried plenty of things like clearing the data for superuser app and then trying again, rebooting my phone etc. Nothing is helping.
After trying everything I could, I looked into the Rootchecker app again and Now I'm told that my phone does not have proper root access.
Please help me. I'm so worried. I'm starting to think the rooting process didn't happen properly and my phone might end up being bricked. :|
(p.s. I'm very new to this. This is also my first time rooting.)
