So how can I root my phone after the 4.1.83 update?
Also I noticed that my custom Tethering APN works but my laptop can't access internet from it.
Help?!
the custom APN works for me. Just turn it on, restart the phone and try it again, also try resetting your wireless adapter on your laptop....

**warning** back up ur sdcard since it formats it.
use gladenable for sideloading and tethering.
Ok so I fixed the Tethering problem because i just had to reset the adapter in my laptop and all is good now. It worked before so it couldnt have been the driver problem.
gingerbreak isn't working for me. it just sits there for 10 minutes and doesnt do anything.

I get a message that my account is not set up for wifi hotspot no matter what APN I use. I used to be able to switch APNs, then switch back, and the hotspot would start. After the 4.1.83 update this isn't working.
Is there something I'm missing here?
Can I root 1.8.3 if I never rooted my device before? I am at 1.8.3.
According to Moto downgrading from 1.8.3 is not a good idea.

Yes u can. I have also updated and flashed back to 4.1.57 and updated back to 4.1.83 and rooted using gingerbreak

Yes, with gingerbreak
Once you update to the latest Atrix 4G release, do not downgrade to a previous version or you will lose functionality. A file system change was made to improve data integrity (for the technically inclined, journaling was enabled on a partition). Once updated, the change cannot be undone through flashing.
Is it safe to flash back?

Not so! Any time you update any software, updated hardware drivers can be needed to maintain compatibility across devices!

from what i understand your suppose to be able to put it on the sd card on the phone...click it and it run... correct? well idk if other atrix's are different which i know there not....it cannot run, install or do anything unless it is from the market....and it doesn't have the option of an unknown sources check box
i tried using the command prompt before and have tried to learn but i can never get the hang of it....or it never worked for me
only reason i was trying to root (was) is so i could do my hotspot seeing as me and my wife do storm chasing and need the access to the internet but i can setup a whole new apn and do the samething......just have to find att apn settings again
ginger break installed or popped up after trying several time the three different ways to get it on the phone....owell thanks for the help
I'm still not getting the 1.8.3 update. When I check, it says "Check for update was not available at this time. Try again later."
Is this normal, because they're still doling it out? Or is there a problem?
The message makes it sound like the update service itself was not found, not that there was no update found.
I haven't done anything more radical than root my phone, so I wouldn't think there would be an issue.
If you don't get an OTA notification try this:

I know I need wifi to download the update, but I didn't think I needed it to *check* the update.
But can someone confirm that the message I received is standard to no update being available, rather than the update *service* not being available?
Normal message is:
Your device is up to date.
No update is necessary at this time.

Hi,
I have been updated my G9 device firmware to 4.05. During update everything was ok. After update, a message appears that say "Starting applications". After 15 minutes nothing happened and mistakenly I have restarted my device. After restarting, archos welcome screen appear but nothing occur!
Also I try to fix it by recovery options like:
1- Repair System>Check Disk : No problem found!
2- Upgrade firmware: Downgrade firmware show me error 221 and trying to install 4.05 is successful but after installation my problem exist yet!
3- Format Disk> Reformat Device...: Even I try to reformat it but after reformat and updating firmware, my problem exist.
I'm so upset! Please help me to fix this problem...

That means that the fw is corrup or that tne filename is wrong, all you have to do is re-download the firmware and make shure that the filename is correct (without a "2" or any other number at the end that indicates it was the second firmware file in the donload folder)... so reformat your device and retry.
Hope I helped,

HI !
Please ..can you try also ? - press 10 sec. on power ( until the green light closed).... now .. while pres volume down ...press power ( and don't release ) until you will entry in recovery (SDE) ! Now try to do Format System-> Reformat Device-> I Understand -> OK! and wait a while until a new driver appear - > now copy Stock Archos ICS 4.0.5 .aos file into it and flash ! I hope will work this method ! Good luck.

Which tools do you use for download? I had the same error 221 and then I read somewhere (maybe in this forum) that Mozilla actually recognizes the archive format, unpacks the file for virus check (or whatever else), and then re-packs it. But the original file is digitally sighed by Archos, and the repacked one is not. That is why the updater rejects it. Since that, I did a couple of successful upgrades using the most basic tool, wget, to download the file to my PC first. Try this.
The following seems to be the result of the bad update script. Which version did you start from? Not too old? It looks like the script deleted the existing software first, then checked the new file, and rejected it - and what to do next?
ps. If someone definitely knows that the above reasoning about download is wrong, please let us know this - not to spread this rumour any longer.
use
RECOVEY (ON OFF/ VOL -),
RESET ANDROID via REPAIR SYSTEM and FORMAT SYSTEM.
Install the firmware
Thanks everyone! Thanks so much. I solved my problem and my device go on! And now we can go to second step...

Ok, I had time to experiment todaya nd now I do know definitely that I was wrong - at least, for the current version. Downloaded the file a few times by both Mozilla and wget, calculated the checksums - it is identical and successfully recognized by the updater. So the above error is nothing but a spontaneous download error, once it occures - just reload the file. On the other hand, wget is very resilent to transmission errors, so file corruption is less likely while using it.

Check your software version. If it ends in 11c then it will not work. You need to LGNPST to version ending in 10o first, then you can root.

1. Check Software Version: Has to be E97010o
2. Read the sticky under Rooting.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946
3. Follow the instruction to the letter !
4. Check the comm. between the PC and phone. Most of this are due to cable issue, driver not setup correctly/wrong version, adb problem etc.
5. Knowing ADB commands is extremely helpful.

I purchased a second hand XT910 installed AVG and it informed me my phone is rooted.
Now I know nothing about rooting, nor the benefits/drawbacks, however I'm being given the option to install the downloaded JB update but it keeps failing, I've worked out the reason is because it's rooted, how do I go about installing the update, or unrooting the phone so it will do it itself?
Appreciate any help provided.

Download OTA Rootkeeper in Play Store, you can save the root files, update JB OTA, then restore root for working on JB.

There are some files called sbf... Google your version and download it. Then download the official drivers for your phone from Motorola and last thing you need is rsd lite what is also available on moto's website. You can also google for a tutorial there are many on YouTube...

Thanks for trying to help, but I have no idea what I'm doing, I'll just stop the update reminders and stick with ICS, I'm annoyed with the seller for not stating it was rooted.

when the install fails it will state what the error is if its a file it will give the md5 and sha-1 (basically a load of numbers and letters.
if you could put those and the file path someone maybe able to give you the file's you need to get the update to run.
what they mean by sbf files are these http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/list.php these you can flash to your phone with a program RSD lite which when done will put the phone to stock, meaning to its original state and without root. then you can set the phone up how you like and can update to jelly bean.
it all sounds really hard but its not really i did it myself not knowing a thing before.
