Well i am not rooted at the moment cause i flashed a zip that took root off and still have a custom kernal going with unlocked bootloader is that even supposed to be possible?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Thats impossible. As soon as you flashed that "zip" it over writes everything. You need to be unlock to have a custom kernel

Interesting. Interesting indeed. Is there anyway you could upload a vid of this?
i wouldent suggest it seeing now after it turned off it wouldent do the sbf files to fix. idk if it was dealing with that cause the sbf always finishes but ends up in a boot loop which as of right now im trying to fix it. but if it happens again ill c what i can do to show you. cause i always thought you had to be rooted to have an unlocked but idk if it was just a one time thing
Is the super user app installed?

I have this same issue right now how it happened for me is that I orginally used the one click root method I found here. Later down the road I noticed that a stable build of cm7 had come out so I decided to try it out. I flashed pudding and it worked just fine and unlocked the device when I went to go get clockwork on the device however, I noticed the my root was no longer working reading in the comments section I saw that the one click root method was not compatible with the unlocked bootloader. I tried to root the phone with the system.img file that it mentioned using in the guide it worked at least as far as pushing it to the device but still no root. I then tried to flash the device back to stock I used the sbf file provided and it did wipe the phone but I still have the unlock icon when I boot the phone and can no longer root it no matter what method I try. If anyone can help me with re locking my device, I would greatly appreciate it.
Have you tryed the depudding. Go into the pudding unlock section theres one that relocks it just like how u unlocked it
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
As far as I'm aware, being unlocked and being rooted are two separate processes on this phone. You don't have to have one to have the other. I've been rooted and locked, rooted and unlocked, and unlocked with no root. Hope that helps.
And I haven't had any problems with the one-click root and unlocking or sbf-ing back to stock.

Thanks for the help guys I got it to work now had to do a factory reset and then flash the sbf file and the seemed to unroot the device it still didn't unlock it however I think if I used the depudding method curly mentioned it would work.

I am currently running an "unlocked bootloader" on a non- rooted system on my photon 4g. I was rooted and then unrooted because I couldn't flash cwm for some reason....I am really really looking to installing miui with the ultimate iphone theme. I love how poloshed and clean it looks!

Try installing a different ROM and see if you get the same problem. Maybe something is corrupt in your current ROM
Have you tried clearing your dalvik & regular cache?
Well I've never flashed a rom yet and I did wipe the cache and delvic I'm just running stock 2.3 ota should I flash a rom if so which one is most stable .
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I'd recommend flashing romracers recovery then installing picrust from there. Since you're new to this, picrust should be a good place to start.
Good luck!

Well im not new to roms bootloaders or flashing I have had evo 4g I have rom racer recovery already so you guys think its a problem with the stock rom then?

Maybe the way its loaded onto your phone in particular is causing the problem. I've had the same rom on my phone and its international.

Is there a way to remove root and lock then bootloader back for.

Judging by your post it seems your Atrix is not turning on. That is an issue.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Well yes its a issue lol any idea how to fix I can make if turn on by wiping caches and factory reset then restore with titanium backups .then if runs and functions fine then craps out so your opinion hardware or software im within my 30 days AT&T may get it back I hope they don't notice the bootloader is unlocked though lol.

Try fixing permissions through ROM manager, I find that when flashing a new ROM weird things happen and this usually fixes it. I'm hoping it's something as simple as that, because if not you may have a hardware problem.
you can prolly just go back to stock from a fruit cake and then start over .
Im going to try something this is getting old real quick. I want to turn my phone off sometimes just wish I new it would boot backup.

Atrix 2.3.4 - 4.5.91
First off, I've done like 10 hours of researching today so please bare with me.
I thought I had unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone in the past. I'm able to tether so that was a sign I did it.
Today I attempted to install romracer cwm based recovery with rom manager. When i tried to install Rom from the sd. it restarted and said "failed to boot 2" after doing some research it said it was possible my bootloader was not unlocked. Now I think i did the right steps back when.
How do I find out for sure if my boot loader is unlocked.
I'm doing all this because Im attempting to get my phone back to stock as can be. I want to get it back to warranty for the following reasons
1) my video play back is all messed up on my recorder. (will a sbf fix this)?
2) when i insert a external sd card to my atrix, my screen sometimes turns black when it wants to).
So this is where i'm stuck. I read the newbie threads. Thanks for all the info. But man this "failed to boot 2" scared me. Luckily it didn't brick my phone. Took out battery and it started back up.
Help please
If your unlocked it will say unlocked in red letters at top of screen when turned on. If you aren't unlocked its possible you have just rooted your phone I think not positive that a factory reset would unroot your phone. Just go into recovery hold volume down when turning it on cycle down with volume down and choose with volume up in recovery both volume rockers are used to navigate and power is choose.

Use pudding thread to unlock your bootloader, install Rom Racers CWM via fastboot after you are unlocked. If you want to make sure you are rooted after that, use the Moto root, stuck at top of the General section.

You can flash to stock if your bootloader is locked. I did it and worked like a charm.

My friend found the way to root OTA .629!
Make sure your phone working on .629,
1.Flash repacked .608 sbf
http://db.tt/xj6oos8G
(Never Try Full .608 SBF !!!)
2 .Download tool PetesMotorolaRootTools or SuperOneClick extract all and run.(Just like rooting .608）
Note : - FIRST - Please Enable USB Debugging , Then connect cable for usb type Charge only
3.Install app otarootkeeper(Can be found in Play Store,it's free),backup su, unroot.
4.Reboot to Motorola Recovery, Wipe, apply .629 OTA update.zip,reboot.
5.install otarootkeeper app again,restore su
Check your device, it should rooted
ATTENTION: Reapply .629 update is very important, when you flashed our repacked .608 sbf, your device is working on a unstable hybrid rom
Here's where my friend posted:

Yes, no help from it... still the same problem.
UPDATE: For all with some sort of problems (!), blindly follow guide from link, for RESTORING device... apply 608, apply repacked 629, (IMPORTANT) full wipe in recovery, root, unroot, flash update, re-root. Works like a charm, all radios are full to go!
Any roms work with this? I tried cm7 and got stuck at red m screen. Had to start all over. Anyone have sucess with a rom after on rooted 629?
Edit: cm9 worked after using droid 2 bootstrap.

Now, rooted, I'm finally able to delete all those stupid Verizon bloatware (I'm not on Verizon, even more, I CAN'T use Verizon, I'm not in U.S.!) - got around 10-15% on speed (some things apparently are in startup and slowing the phone down).
Other thing, before this update, I had some minor and occasional problems with touch - like ghosts or something, after unlocking touch started to do weird stuff, opening apps by it-self, moving icons across the screen - no more, it works great (for now). This might be because of fresh and full install and wipe (yes, it's a hassle to do it, to install all apps again, set them up... but, it's kinda good solution...).
Enjoy yourself

Weird,how did u do it?

I just used the manual method until the failed to boot, then switched to the automatic script. Had no problems.
Do you still have the script?

I'm a n00b and I swear I checked the n00b guide and searched before posting this. Do you still have the automatic script to unlock the Atrix? The link in the thread doesn't work and Gitbrew/Git hub seems to be down. I tried searching for the script in google and am not having any luck. I did manage to download a copy of Pudding's 4547-fix-try2.sbf file, but I keep getting an error when attempting to flash it to my Atrix trhoguh RSD Lite v5.6. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Automatic Unlock
Hello.
I used the Casual method a while back to root my phone. This caused all sorts of problems, and once i was finally able to fix it from boot loop with a rom installed I have not touched it.
I posted a thread about wanting the stock camera, and was told to find a TW based rom. I plan on installing Jellybeans today.
It says to make sure your phone is unlocked and rooted, how do i verify if I am unlocked?
Thanks.
you can try downloading one of the root checking apps from the market that will scan your phone

That does nothing but check for root, it would be no help if he knows he has root.
Really the best thing I can think of is to try flashing a ROM, not very helpful but I can't think of any other surefire way....
