Hey there guys,
First off, yes I've done my reading. But as a precaution Im asking you for help here. I've just bought a used Atrix, in mint condition. As in the title the guy I bought it from apparently, much to my disgust, prefers stock and Im looking for some CM7 goodness. I've read most guides but none there actually discusses what to do on a the latest stock and how to go from there. (Have I missed anything? If so plz guide me there)
So there you have it all. No root, Locked bootloader on 2.3.4. Where to go from here?
Appreciate all the help in advance
EDIT: Ok apparently I missed this thread, so now I know I have to flash this but question is; How do I make sure I've a locked bootloader? Thanks again guys.
EDIT 2: I've just rooted it with OneClickRoot and all is a go now. Does this mean I've an unlocked BL? How can I make sure? Please guys just this last bit
On boot up does your Motorola dual core screen say "unlocked " in upper left corner?

Nope, is that the only way to be unlocked? I mean I read somewhere that Motorola unlocked the bootloader in the latest GB release, Isn't that true?
Ok peeps; Unlocked, rooted and now running the spectacular CM7 thanks to Automatic unlock. Awesome program, even better dev!
You want to share how exactly you did it? I've HARD bricked two Atrix's now trying to install CM7 because I have followed outdated guides.

I've used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15930466
You'll get a failed to start 1001 or sth after using it. Don't freak out, you haven't bricked. Just use fastboot and type the commands in the OP from the link. That's what I did

That's funny, because this guide here was just updated 8 days ago.

Could you provide any info on what Atrix you are using? Is it Intl? AT&T?
What firmware?
In what step did you end up hard bricking? During root? Unlocking the bootloader? Flashing CM7?

Hi guys,
I have a motorola Atrix AT & T version 1.83, I would like to upgrade to 2.3.4 gingerbread, what should I do?
someone can explain well all the steps I need to do.
I've already unlocked bootloader
If you are smart enough to unlock the bootloader, I am assuming you would be smart enough to know where to post your question?
There is already step by step instructions in here on how to install CWM and then 2.3.4.

The previous posts are right, you should probably get in the habit of searching around a bit before posting questions.
Either way, here's a link to the instructions on how to flash the 2.3.4 HKTW build to an unlocked Atrix. If you are AT ALL uncomfortable with the instructions, worried about voiding your warranty or this is your first time then you should probably wait for an official ROM to be released. Be forewarned, there are still a bunch of bugs still to be worked out.

One thing to note. With a bit of tweaking, specifically modifying of /system/build.prop, this build is fully functional as far as i can tell, minus the front facing camera and fingerprint scanner being broken, so depending on your needs, it CAN be ready for daily use. The CWM flashable version of 2.3.4 seems to be much more broken than independently flashing /system and /boot.
Can anyone help? I was able to unlock my device, but all the rooting I have found seems to be for the HK build, not the 'official' AT&T build.
In the gingerbread beta 4.5 from kenneth thread between 4-9 page there is a rootcwm.zip for 2.3.4. I just installed it my self, works great
Unlocked BL 2.3.4
why is this here?

Have a nice day
sure, this looks like the right place to ask QUESTIONS

ok, apologies that its in the wrong section, but how do I install and run CWM on a non-rooted device? thats what I have been stuck on...
You install cwm for unlocked bootloaders by fastboot.....fastboot does not need root. Find the cwm for unlocked bootloaders

Hi,
Brought a new phone for my wife and now need to install custom ROM on it.
To do this, I have already rooted the device using PetesMotorolaRootTools. Now i need to know how to go about unlocking the bootloader.
All the info i have found is for AT&T Users. Therefore can someone please advise on how do i go about unlocking the bootloader?
Also which is the best ROM for Atrix? Are there any good ICS4 ROMS around?
Model = MB860
Andriod 2.3.4

Follow the steps in my 2nd post. Once you have unlocked the BL & installed CWN, you can download any rom and flash it with CWM.
In regards to which ROM is better, To be frank, i did not have time to mess around with it. So you will have to give it a try yourself.

I just performed this on my Atrix 4G that was running 2.3.6 Stock exactly 7 days ago. It was the first time I had ever done anything to my phone since the last AT&T update. I had root before the update, but it was taken away when I applied the update. Since Motorola doesn't want to do a major update for my phone (Boo to them!), I decided to try flashing CM7 Olympus, and now I wish I had done it sooner!
I didn't check the links above, but I followed these instructions to the letter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
The process made me nervous, but it worked perfectly!
EDIT: Those are the closest instructions I could find to the original ones I had. I found the ones I actually used on Atrix Forums' website. The article is called "[TUT]Unlocking Bootloader and Installing Custom ROMs" (I'm too new to link to an external site due to forum regulations.)
Unlocked same version from ATT
I had to flash 4.1.83 sbf. The regular unlock process. But be careful as it could brick your phone. I experimented and luck was on my side.
Thanks,
Jinesh

Followed those instructions as well. I feel like I am very close to having my phone back to where it needs to be for me to consider the mission a success I am only experiencing an issue adding Google accounts and getting into the android Market. I did a titanium backup restore and got all of my apps back and restored system settings, but Gmail crashes every time I try to open it and the Market opens a white window then goes away without any warning or error info.
I haven't flashed a custom rom so I am still in the stock Gingerbread ROM.
Trying to add a Google account gives me the message "Can't Establish a reliable connection..." If I followed this guide, am I fine to do a hard reset, as that is the only solution I have found online to the Can't Establish connection error?
Original Post Deleted: Oops moment
If your intentions were to flash a custom rom, I would perform a nandroid backup and then flash away following the instructions you've been using.
If you unlocked the bootloader, your phone was probably returned to stock just like performing a hard reset. Google Play (or Market) usually needs a very good connection to run its first update, so if you're not on wifi, connect to that first. If you still have that problem, try clearing the data for that app (from the home screen > Menu > Manage Applications > "Market" > Clear Data)
If you were trying to flash a fruitcake (to return it to stock after flashing a custom ROM), still try clearing the app data and, if that doesn't work, try flashing the fruitcake again.
Hi,
i searched everywhere couldn't find anything about the AT&T verison of HTC One X+ and CM10
Is there a way to root the ATT version and install CM10 on it???
Read only about the international version yet. Don't want to brick my new phone.
Thanks.
Nope, there's still a bit of a wait on CM10/ASOP for AT&T/TELUS users. When a usable version is ready, it'll probably be here with [AT&T/TELUS] in the title.
damm was so hoping to change my devices from s3 to htc thanks mate.
Currently using the cm10.1 for s3 expermintal. i think when nightly last night.

So, the experimital CM10.1 is running on your HTC One X+. I have the same phone and I have unlocked it from HTC's web site. I'm a noob and don't know a lot about this stuff. Still learning. Should I try any mod or wait? I really want to get the AT&T crud off of my phone. Like I said, my phone is unlocked now.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
There are several non experimental roms you can install already just to get rid of the at&t stuff. Also you could root it and use titanium backup or root uninstaller or something to just get rid of unneeded stuff. If it were me, I would not DARE try anything experimental with my new phone, especially something cm10 related because pretty much all the devs have said there is nothing ready yet on that avenue.

OK, I'm new here and I really thank you all for any advise. I will read on and try to find some of these existing ROM's. This is probably a REALLY big noob question. If my phone is unlocked, does that mean it is rooted?
BTW, I also thank you for the advise on not using any experimental roms. I won't touch unless I know for sure. This new phone is a gem and I don't want to screw it up.

No!
Unlock is unlock and root is root
Indeed. You have unlocked the bootloader which is step 1. Now you need to root which is step 2. There is an all in one tool in the android development forum you can use to root. That might be the easiest way to go. Once you are rooted you can get root uninstaller for free from the play store or titanium backup. Titanium is probably better choice there. You could also flash a rom through recovery that is already rooted but most of those require you flash the kernel seperatly so if you are.very new i probably wouldnt do that just yet. Read up on the process first. Hope that helps.

Thanks! My problem is this..... I used the HTC step by step from http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-to-root-one-x/
I got through the step where the instructions say to Mark - Right Click Copy - Paste into the HTCDev.com website
I then followed the instructions on through until the phone was unlocked.
At step 39 the instructions say to -
Reboot your phone into Fastboot mode and type the following in command prompt:and
type and execute at the cmd prompt -
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img
OK, I finished these steps and am now stuck at step 40.
I then copied the CWN-SuperSU-v.0.87.zip file to the root of my phone storage
The phone won't boot in to recovery at all
What is the CWN-SuperSU-v.0.87.zip file for and do I need to complete the step by rebooting using it in recovery mode? It will not boot in to recovery anyway.
So my phone was wiped and unlocked but back to the original AT&T build and I don't understand where I pick up in the process.
This is the point where I get confused. I research and read everywhere too. I know my phone is unlocked for sure. It's not bricked yet. :fingers-crossed:
I don't know where I pick back up with the process using some of the recommendations you guys have given me.
