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.

ooooh! its working normally now. Thank you
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, 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?

Same here. I even tried removing my old custom APN and reinstalling via GladEnable.

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 can't root my Aria 4G...I have tried this
1) Superoneclick...didn't work
2) gingerbreak...didn't work
3) flash back to stock and tried gingerbreak...still didn't work
...I have installed drivers for the phone and all the other necessary files are there too...i have followed all the guides regardig rooting...but no luck... am i missing something?

yeh...like i have mentioned earlier i followed the guide exactly the way i suppose to...but anyways...i got it working after going back to stock..tried gingerbreak..didn't work....then tried superoneclick...and it worked out of no where...b/c i did it exactly the same way i have been trying...but i guess going back to stock may have done the trick...thanks for your help though...

I can't get mine to root either and I'm on stock 2.2 manufacturer rom. I have the sim free UK version of the phone which already has an option to side load as it's not tied to a carrier which is nice.
I want to root so I can use titanium backup. I've followed many rooting guides to the T with no success, ginger brake just runs endlessly and super one click fails no matter which version I use. I've never had such a ball ache rooting my previous phone was a one click job.

You have to have an sdcard in the external slot for gingerbreak to work. At least I had to.

I had an sd card in my atrix and even tried formatting it again when gingerbrake failed. I also tried another sd card without success. Maybe my firmware is different?

maybe you need to flash a new modem. ask someone in the 242 who has a i9100 what modem they are on *#1234# to check and flash that modem.

I have tried different builds higher than 6 and same thing happens. Installs fine and have service for 2-3mins then off again. This is frustrating because after that then i have to reinstall the same old ROM and reinstall all over again. I've tried 4.3.build.1-OFFICIAL-909 thinking that maybe if i change from 4.2.2 this would solve my issue but still the same thing.

There's no 4.3 official. Try stock ROM and see how that works out for you and let me know.
Hey,
I have a Galaxy Note I717M under bell, running complete stock, and recently, it just decided it doesn't want to turn on anymore.
I can still access download mode and recovery mode, but when I try to boot into system I get stuck at the samsung logo.
Is my phone soft bricked? Am I able to flash a new rom and move on? If so, am I able to recover all my data that's currently on the phone?
Thanks in advance!

In recovery mode do a factory reset first see if this solves the problem.
yes you can still flash ROMs.
if not flash stock ROM or custom ROM.
press thanks if I helped you.

Looks good, but judging by the end of that post, the phone needs to be working because it'll ask me for a password on the device at some point?

I guess its for encryption of the data, try once and see it may work
As you are stock on everything
its the only way out.
try to do these steps in fastboot mode it won't be any problem most probably.

Please post how things went - especially if you are rooted (?), as its easy to end up unrooted at times.
OTA is failing for me after unrooting. I also restored the latest restore.img from the relevant thread before I attempted to update.
Anyone with root able to get OTA installed?

Did you have to unroot before updating ?
Never-mind had to unroot it would not work otherwise. But still wont finish - maybe because i may still have a different then stock kernel even though I unrooted.

You need to unroot, and also make sure you have the reserve.img partition restored. If you unlocked the bootloader after the .27 OTA, reserve.img is deleted during unlock.

All I have to do is to not screw up, and after having been on Samsungs since S3, where most things were straight forward and relatively easy, there is a good chance I will.
Will be doing more reading - wish there was a guide like the unlocking and rooting of the US TMo guide thread.

It's very simple, and the script does most of the work. All you have to do is hit Enter a few times, and let it run.
Back up your data to be safe, and worse case scenario, there is an MSM tool available that will restore the phone to stock.

Use Google Drive backup, but you should first temporarily turn off your password/fingerprint authentication. That's the only way to ensure a complete backup is run. That's been an issue with Google device backup as a whole since 9.0 began enforcing encryption on backups.
You can turn it back on as soon as the backup completes.
One thing I've noticed already on this update is idle battery drain with 5G enabled (connected or not) has improved dramatically.
I would suggest that anyone who re-roots after makes sure to use a freshly patched kernel pulled after the update.
