Is it possible to just root the International version of Atrix, without unlocking the bootloader, to use the application like Titanium Backup. I read so much but everywhere bootloader unlocking is mentioned with root.
No problem.
Rooting without unlock is much more reliable. Little to no chance to hardbrick.
sure, use gingerbreak.

Also check into super oneclick that what i use to root mine and it worked like a champ. There many solutions out there you just have to find the best for your device

I want Gingerbread. I have a company phone and need to keep it fairly stock. I like and currently have root access. Everything I have been reading has been about Root + Unlock. I just want to update and root. Any advice?
Just flash the stock Gingerbread then re-root. There are all kinds of rooting guides available.

I have a Desire-Z and it had GB, but the forums I followed insisted that I must downgrade it to Frodo before rooting, as there is currently no way to root it in GB. So that is what I have done and I have root. Like you I want to go to GB but keeping root. I'm pretty sure there is a way, but I dont yet know how. That method is what I too am looking for. So there would need to be a way to preserve the root you've got while upgrading to GB. If upgrading causes you to lose root in GB, you wont be able to get it back without downgrading again unless someone comes up with a method that works for GB. If you find a way before me, let me know. Cheers.

The method at briefmobile has always worked for me. However, you might also want to look at swiftks' "[Updated 2-11-2012] THE BEGINNERS (N00B) GUIDE!!! N00BS LOOK HERE FOR YOUR HOW TOs" that should be pinned at the top of this forum. There is a section in it called "HOW TO ROOT YOUR DEVICE ON ANDROID 2.3.4:".
canopic, root methods vary from phone to phone. It is quite possible to root the Atrix on gingerbread. I don't know anything about the Desire-Z though.
Okay, I've had past experience with rooting. I've owned a HTC desire which i have done all sorts with it(Flashed radios,kernels,roms,recoveries), however I know that every phone is different which is why I see myself as a noob once again.
I'm from the UK and own a unlocked GT-I9300 which is updated to jellybean. I've been searching around and got myself a bit confused. I'm looking for a way to root the device in the most easiest way. My searches kept bringing me to carrier versions :/ Just a few questions.
Does the software version(jellybean) effect the method I should use?
Does the fact that the phone is unlocked effect the method i should use?
Will i be able to flash different ROM's through a recovery? (I did with the desire)
Will i be able to sneak google wallet onto the device and use nfc to pay for stuff in the uk?
Some extra questions may be added later on.
Any help would be nice.
The reason i am rooting is because i hate limitations like wallpaper scrolling and not being able to download extra game data to the sdcard, i also think touchwiz is ugly, am i the only one?
No. Use cf-root to root your phone.
It works on all versions.
Carrier doesn't matter.
Unlocked doesn't matter.
Don't know about Google wallet but this is xda so I would say yes, it works. (Someone somewhere surely made it work)
Yes you can flash stuff through recovery.
Mobile Odin is just as easy.

I rooted mine a couple of days ago using Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit v6.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
It's a great tool, and pretty easy to use and you have everything there, so you can also do a full backup after the root.
Im also kinda new to this whole Android rooting stuff, after being for 4 years an iPhone user and i managed to root it and install a custom ROM without having any issues.
Lucky for me I have the only version of the Note 2 with a locked Bootloader from "BigRed". i came here to ask for assistance because I want to use my device to its full potential but I definately do not want to brick my device or harm it in anyway.
What I am confused about is the whole process of unlocking the boot loader and rooting. I have read extensively on how to do both but I don't know what process I need to do first. Do I root first and then unlock the boot loader?? Or Vice Versa??
I am also skeptical about some of the Boot loader Unlock methods I see floating around online. I have read up on a couple different ways to do it but when reading the comments under the tutorial article it seems there are alot of unhappy Note 2 owners that were not successful with the methods What I am asking here is if someone can point me to the CORRECT way to unlock the boot loader with the most up to date information regarding the latest update Verizon has put out. If I can be pointed to a good article on the correct way to root the device that would be even better.
I obviously know there is no "fail safe" way of going about doing this and completely understand all the risks. I just want to minimize those risks. Especially on a $600+ device!
Thank you for any help that is offered!!
A little tip for you. I've found is best to just stick strictly to xda for guides like this. Most those random guides steal the work of the hard working devs here. I've seen a lot of bricks of people just following one if them.
Here is the only way to unlock. It's easier then it looks.

^ what he said :good:
i used that method literally 2 days ago. it's really simple. just click and follow instructions. just follow the guide and you can even watch the youtube video of someone doing it before you do. once you have the bootloader unlocked and twrp flashed (one you finish the guide you will have twrp installed) you can hold the power volume up and home button while the device is off to boot into recovery (twrp). from there before you do anything i would recommend flashing the latest twrp and then you can go ahead and flash whatever roms you want. probably gunna want to stick with clean rom. it's basically stock rom with all the scum removed and a lot of root tools added.
Can I piggyback here?
My similar question is that when I got my phone 2 weeks ago the Verizon salesperson did THE UPDATE when he setup my phone. My system says I have 4.1.1 but otherwise I have not done a thing to it. Do you need to know the kernal version?... Which steps do I use to unlock and root to Cleanmod? Thanks.

use the method linked above! It works for both firmware versions that are currently available.
also very easy given that you follow the instructions
As others have said, follow the directions. Go slowly, measure twice and cut once. Then you can start feeding the ROM flashing addiction.
Ok, well i am relevantly new to this rooting method for the android devices; so after reading through threads on rooting i have read sections on unlocking bootloader, roms, kernels and stuff and my question is. Will i be able to root my phone without unlocking it just so i can access applications that need root to run? i have no plans in adding or using custom roms on my phone and was wondering will i still be able to update my phone though the official updates? cause i have read from some threads and posts that you will not be able to update it and was wondering is it mandatory for me to unlock the bootloader while rooting....... thanks in advance for the answer and help
No. Root can be obtained only after unlockong.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
hmm ok so i will need to bootload before rooting ha..... fine so how do i do the updates through roms.... if so where can i find them and are there any threads that shows how to use them.
I would recommend you not worry about how to flash ROMs quite yet. Once you obtain root, which isn't really hard, flashing ROMs will seem easy as pie. And to flash ROMs you need to flash a kernel, which is easily done with the rooting tool posted in the development section. Good luck.
dude could you tell like tell me how to root this device, cause i have been trying to root it for a while now and cant seem to do it..... i am following this thread to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39744013#post39744013....... and i cant pass through the "adb device" section as my device is not being detected and yes all my drives are upto date... so would be greatly appreciated if i could get some help.

At which step are you stuck? I will be glad to help you, you should have posted right in the thread.
I haven't gone through the mentioned guide above, and it might be all good, but I've followed this one instead when I first got my HOX+ (now I can do it blindfolded) and it was easy to follow and worked like a charm. Give it a shot.
Just an FYI (so you don't call us liars in the future when you switch devices), but not all root hacks require the bootloader to be unlocked, it depends on the device.
How difficult is it to gain root access on the HTC One? I have had my One for a while, and now I want to gain root access. I don't care about installing a custom rom, right now. But I would like root so that I can run a few apps that I have seen, but they require root.
I read somewhere that HTC will unlock the bootloader for you. Does that unlocking of the boot loader, give me root, or are there more steps in the process?

I'm Not here to bash or make you mad.... but your question is very bland .... and asking about the most covered topic possibly covered on any forum, and there's tons of threads and info on how to root m7.
Id at least first read some.... and then if u can't figure it out come back with ?'s
Your just gonna get flamed asking such a thing , and probably why noone has replied.And they say here in xda that if u don't try .....know how ...or havent the first clue about root ,you probably shouldn't be rooting .
Tip. Use hasoons2000 all in one tool kit to root
It's step by step script that unlocks and roots device with minimal effort from the person behind the computer.

I have been reading through and I see a lot of posts are flashing a custom rom, but I'm asking because I don't see any that pertain just to root. Now if I just have not found the right thread, that is fine, but don't assume I have not done any reading. Come on now, I'm not 100% new to this site.

Look for the All in one tool. You have to flash a custom recovery to get root. That means no more OTA updates.
And yes, this has been extensively covered in the forums. But I know it is a bit hard to search for noobs.

Same here. I used the Hassoon tool on my Amaze. I should think both threads are pretty good in this circumstance.
