Is it possible? And, yes, it's Android 2.3.5 STOCK on International version of the Atrix.
The history behind that:
He was having issues with a rooted/modded atrix (battery wise) and he knew someone that work at motorola here in Brazil. He sent the Atrix to his friend and got back the same atrix back but with a stock 2.3.5 android installed. Now he is asking what to do to root it since all programs won't work (gingerbreak, for example) nor he is willing to install the AT&T SBF from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 (specially cuz it can brick his device since it's a different device).

Your best bet would probably either pete's root tool or the thread that says "How to root any phone after SBF" located in the dev section. Use your search feature. The preinstall method involves basic ADB commands via a cmd line. Pete's is a 1 click option, some people are saying it works for any moto phone...
He will test it when he can.. I'll let you know.
Nop.. It didn't work.. It seems that 2.3.5 is different..
Any other ideas??
Does gingerbreak work? Just a thought.

Read OP again. He already said it doesn't work!

No root method tested work..
- One Click
- GingerBreak
- SBF File (fastboot) from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15023022&postcount=2 (fastboot errors out)
So far, no method works for root..

what do you mean sbf file from the preinstall method? you're supposed to flash the preinstall.img in the second post, which can be downloaded by this link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=652327&d=1310460219
then do 'fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img' and then run the whole /preinstall/dosu commands in either adb shell or terminal emulator on your phone
Well, I've written it wrong.. Sorry 'bout that.
- Fastboot fails to install... Can't even install the preinstall.img file.. That's what I've meant.

Did you ever unlock your bootloader?

if you Answer are NO
and YES
this is the way to do it follow this link and you need a PC and your phone attached to it by USB:
"http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/motosupport/source/SoftwareUpdateSummary.asp?country=USA&language=ENS&web_page_name=SUPPORT&strCarrierId=ATT&strPhone=Motorola%20ATRIX%28TM%29%204G&strCable=Micro%20USB%20Data%20Cable&strURL=https://rsddownload.motorola.com/download/SoftwareUpdateforATTATRIX4Gversion.4.5.91.pdf"
I believe i just rooted it with gingerbreak but then i followed this tutorial: http://atrix4ghacks.com/atrix-4g-hacks/how-to-enable-webtop-without-laptopusb-dock/
it edited my webtop stuff so how do i fix it so i can update
lol don't panic! (....I have a towel =D)
You just entered the recovery menu. To see the error message, you need to un-hide it by touching the screen on the bottom right corner (right above the search button). This will show you what error you encountered.
If you're OTAing up, then you probably had Titanium or something that removed bloatware or modded the system with a theme or custom files. If that's the case, any OTA will fail because you will not have passed the pre-install check. You have three options:
1.) Go here and get the Automated Upgrade for PC Users. That will allow you to upgrade and bypass the test, while also keeping your data. This doesn't require any mods or unlocked bootloaders. (BE WARNED THAT IF YOU USE THIS, YOUR BOOTLOADER WILL BE BLOWN. DON'T DOWNGRADE WITH SBFs AND STICK TO EATING YOUR FRUITCAKE! However, Radio and Bootloader SBFs are still considered safe. As any wise man would do, proceed with caution.)
OR
2.) Unlock your bootloader, install CWM from Tenfar, and then get KP's 2.3.4 ROM Beta 4 and put it in your SD card. Boot up CWM and install it. That easy. =] (BE WARNED SOME PEOPLE BRICKED THIS WAY.)
ORRRRRR
3.) Using the fastboot from Motorola and unlocking your bootloader, just flash the images here. (Currently the best method and seems to produce the best results, but if you don't know how to do it, then don't do it.)
If you need instructions on how to do any of the above, use this noob bible. And lastly, if you want to root, use the preinstall method (also in bible.)
Happy upgrading!

I had the same problem and also had only used gingerbreak and webtop mod. I tried using pc update software but it thought I was on orange france (mine is AT&T) so I didn't proceed. Decided to flash the gingerbread plus pudding sbf in pudding thread, worked perfect and kept all data, you don't need to unlock bootloader before updating
Same problem
I'm having the exact same problem.
Except my bootloader is unlocked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Just got the new download 2.3.5 which bricked my rooted fascinate. thanks to the formums i was able to put ed05 on and then do the update... Now I need to root again...

Thanks for the help...

Has anyone seen John Connor?
Do you have to use Clockwork to root the fascinate when on 2.3.5 or is there the old skool method of running adb commands? ive attempted the adb commands and the zergling attack using SuperOneClick latest version however both have an error when they attempt to run the mount remount,rw command, states this operation is not permitted. any suggestions? I had clockwork installed before however i went to restore a backup i made of my stock config from VZW and it stopped the phone from booting, im assuming i should have done factory reset/data wipe and clear cache before i restore a backup?
thanks

I copied gingerbreak.apk to my sd card and tried to install it. Nd when I install it a pop up occurs on the screen 'non-market applications cannot be installed'. Then I go to the settings to check the unknown sources option but the option isnt there. I have attached a pic.

You have an AT&T ROM, which disables sideloading, thus Gingerbreak will not work. Search the wiki for the correct rooting procedure.
Thnkx.. I was able to root my phn using superoneclick.
Then I tried to flash the streakmod recovery but was unsuccesfull. I tried it through fastboot mode. But when reboot into recovery the 340 recovery appears on the screen.
How can I flash streakmod recovery???

You still didn't use the correct method but as long as you got it rooted. DO you just absolutely refuse to do any searching on your own?
Apparently not. I think I'm going to change my signature again to reflect the words of a moderator on the Inspire forums.
(The following exchange is paraphrased.)
Poster: Can someone give me detailed instructions on how to root?
Moderator: In short, no. Do your homework. There's no spoonfeeding here.
Guys I ve done a lot of searching.. But cudnt find a solution.. I also dnt need spoonfeeding.. I wud love to learn abt it as much as I can..
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
If you dont want to be spoonfed: flash streakmod, which requires learning how to use fastboot.
Then flash superuser.zip, there's tutorials on the stickies and on the wiki.

I'm posting this for others who came across my experience of Zerg NOT working on 2.3.4 ...
In fact, I just had those same errors right after applying the 2.3.4 sbf. I was on 2.3.5 and I wanted to try the CM10, so I followed the directions until I got to Zerg, where it failed with those errors just like yours. (CM10: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912280 ) :
I was able to continue onward, using Pete's one-click tool. The ver 1.08 link was 404, but the ver 1.07 did the trick. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315711 ) The filename is PetesMotorolaRootTools_v1.07.zip you can find it lower down on the original post. Since I was already at 2.3.4, I didn't attempt the magic md5 method.
By the way, CM10 seems to run far better than any stock VerizoMoto ROM ever did on this low-memory device. As long as you're flashing roms, I highly suggest to give this a try. -- Just don't foul up like I did. Make sure to get the correct google apps (4.1.2, not 4.2.2)
Moto has always been great at optimizing radio hardware, but they consistently suck awfully at software optimization. I have hopes for them, Moto Mobility having been acquired by The Google. But for this device, wow, CM and DragonZKiller really shine.
Cheers,
-- Nate

I flashed Miui and it is pretty stable battery life decent will be purchasing a extended life one tho
It has Unisoc CPU. 4/128. Android12 Go. It came out just recently. I've been trying to root with my PC. Trying TWRP but can't see my device name. I try to search for a tutorial but nothing. Trying to flash boot.img using magisk with ADB. Bootloader already unlocked. There is YouTube tutorial for other phone with the brand 'Itel'. Can you guys tell me how to root my tablet if it is possible. I don't know why I can't find tutorial I think it's because it came out recently. Please tell me how to root it if you know 🥹
Thanks

You know? I already got the rom and boot.img I already patched with magisk but when I try to flash it on adb it failed.
oh you got the ROM? then no risk of bricking, just flash from fastboot.
