Hi All,
I recently bought an Atrix. I would like to root the phone and then flash a custom ROM onto the phone. However, I have a Linux OS on my laptop (running Ubuntu 10.10) and all the guides I've seen use Windows programs.
Has anybody successfully rooted an Atrix using Linux, or has anybody come across a guide that explains it using Linux?
Any help appreciated.
If you looked at the sticky at General forum you would see that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255548

If you need to perform this method using MacOS or Linux, please see this adaption of my script.

And about flashing roms, you need to unlcok your bootloader first, and you can do it with Linux system, read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
Good luck and have fun
Cheers. I'll check out the links later.
The links talk about gingerbread - my Atrix (UK) still runs on 2.2. Will the aforementioned method still work on my Atrix?
Hey all -- just a quick web page to give you guys a head start when it comes to rooting your DROID BIONIC. This method works on Motorola phones running Android OS 2.3.4 or earlier.

Hello all,
I'm new to the Android World. I've been searching the forums and my question doesn't seem to be anywhere.
I have an Atrix Version.4.4.20.MB860.Retail.en.DE, I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. My carrier is Personal.
I don't use Windows, I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and I've found this guide:
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Motorola_Atrix_4G:_Full_Update_Guide
I just want to know if anyone tried it from Linux with success.
Is there someone confirm this process?
Hi,
I've just unlocked the bootloader following the guide. All good!
I installed the CWM Recovery from the ROM Manager app.
HTH
Hi.
I own this atrix which seems to be cool phone. Being a noob i am fascinated by the apps in market which require root access. Thought of giving up my warranty away and rooting it. But was sad when I tried doing that. I have tried this software called "oneclick something something". But it didnt help. It got hanged at starting psneuter. I know that there are many pages in this forum regarding the same problem. But I thought I might be able to get a personalised response on the below specs of my phone which doesnt seem to match any other post here.
System specs:
System version: 45.31.2.MB860.T-Mobile.en.GB
Model: MB860
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: N_01.100.00R
Webtop version: WT-1.2.0-133_38
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #2
Build number: 4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.2
APflex version: do yo require this?? quiet long.
I couldnt find out what to do to root this phone. I did try one way mentioned on this forum but it didnt work. I have always made sure that usb debugging is on and the SD card is mounted whenever required. I know this forum is full of super duper pros and someone will surely help a new user of this forum.
Regards.
I don't think rooting voids warranty, but it's easy too root through fastboot, but if you want to so any rom flashing you need to unlock bootloader, that will void your warranty

Read the noobs guide at the top of this subforum.
Make sure you have yor moto drivers installed on your pc.
I had a similar build to yours and used Petes Motorola Tools, plus many times since with great success.
Can I also recommend SuperOneClick? I have had 100% success rate with this tool with two different Motorola phones.
You need also to turn the USB debugging on as well for this tool to work. It might reboot your phone a couple of times, be patient.

Rooting TMob UK Atrix
Just use:
http://www.android-advice.com/2011/root-the-motorola-atrix-4-5-91-on-gingerbread-2-3-4-updated/
Pete's Motorola Root Tools, I used it on my TMob UK Atrix and it worked fine. Didn't use this exact guide, but some one with his Pete's Moto tools which apparently doesn't claim support of Atrix but works fine.
If you want to unlock, then just this guide:
I think this should work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
sorry though, I cannot quite remember the guide I used, all I do remember, was that it wasn't a case of just typing "fastboot oem unlock", like it is for the AT&T Gingerbread updated devices. Just follow the guide and you shouldn't have any problems.
Oh and just one more piece of advice, don't overclock your device.
Cheers guys. I will try Pete's motorola root tool and hopefully post my success story.

First of all I apologize in advance if you guys get asked this frequently, it's just that I don't want to brick my phone and i'm new to the Android scene(just sold my iPhone 4S for the One)!
So i've already read through this tutorial — http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182792&highlight=mac — on how to root and unlock your bootloader except for the fact that I don't have a windows computer, I have a MacBook Pro. On the HTC Dev site I followed instructions but it seems it's explaining it more for the Windows than Mac as well. Is there a Mac tutorial out? If not any help would be appreciated!
There's a mac tutorial. Check my signature

Thanks, man. You're awesome!
Is it possible ? Since framaroot and towelroot didn't work and I only have a Linux computer and no Windows avaliable. I couldn't find the solution online and I know there are a lot of skilled people on here . Hope someone can help and hello everyone !
I've never personally had to use it as I've either used my windows computer or windows running in virtualbox(also another method you could try), but there is JOdin3. It's an opensource java implementation of Odin. So get yourself a root zip and try it out!
Thanks a lot ! Could someone write a quick guide for debian linux as I dont wanna brick my phone ?
There are several guides for windoes which thanks to JOdin3 would work the same, there are also video guides available for JOdin3. Is there anything specific you are unsure about?
Ok i downloaded the cf-autoroot zip for s3. So now lets say I flash it . Do I need to install a custom recovery, unlock the bootloader or something else in order to install a custom rom like androod revolution hd ?
Bumpity bump?
You would have to flash a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM in order to install a custom rom, yes. Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy and forgot to check back in
UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS
If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device - with the exception of Nexus devices, which will**automatically "OEM unlock" and*wipe your data.
Should I be worried about this?

The Galaxy S3 is unlocked by default so nothing to worry about.

Why dont you try to install Wine on your linux PC and then install odin and root your phone! Maybe it works i had linux for a week and via Wine i had my prefered windows apps installed.
Hi Guys,
Newly bought this wonderful beast of a phone/tablet with a 7D-501L Build number.
I'm using Linux Mint 17, and I'm trying to find a way to root this device either by using adb or/and fastboot.
I've probably searched every "windows" solution out there, but so far no luck trying to understand their process to convert it to an adb/fastboot process.
Hope you guys can point me in the right direction

i rooted my 503L (EMUI 3.0 4.4.2 C208B009) using rootgenius app from the phone directly.
the phone was rooted initially when I flashed the KangVIP mod, but root was lost subsequently (cause unknown), upon recommendation from Chinese users, i re-rooted it successfully via the above mentioned app.
due to the KangVIP mod, Kinguser su management app was already the default su manager, i didnt change it, for 501L on international rom, you can download supersu from Play store after rooting to manage root access.
