i've tried the root method for the sticky in the dev. section. One click user just stalls out at step 5 it seems. Elsewise .... how long is step 5 supposed to take? All i have to show for my efforts so far is the old boottriangle. I came from an Epic Touch 4g (which i had no problems rooting). Any helpful suggestions?
Thanks in advance

When it stalls and freezes unplug USB then go into settings uncheck then check USB debugging then plug USB back in. It will finish up the process.

Use superOneClick again and after it stalls out on step 6
simply unplug usb cable from computer for a couple seconds
then plug in back in and bingo you are good to go!
If that doesn't work just download this file and flash in cwm

.apk files are not going to be recognized by Odin. .tar files are recognized by it. If you don't have root but have flashed codeworkx kernel then close Odin download this to your phone hereand flash in cwm
Apk is an application much like .exe in windows
rev. *.tar i think i need to begin with a proper version of odin (which i can't seem to find.) By the way, i can't boot into recovery. had that been the case, i'd already been nandroiding and running CM7
Odin does not see the su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip

Odin will not see the .zip because it only recognizes .tar files lol just said this. Have you already flashed codeworkx Kernel?
a bit overanxious i suppose lol ... i have flashed it but can't seem to boot into CWM by norm hold up + ok

i think recovery is vol+, vol-, power
you can also run:
adb reboot recovery
tried everything you guys suggested twice
then, i searched some more and still no luck. Frankly, I am a bit surprised lol .... this is always super easy hahaha
I leave for work shortly - anyone have any insights ? Greatly appreciated (will pay good money for help)

ok, i'm a little confused where you are right now with all this, so I'm going to start over.
1) flash this kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823) but skip the step that roots via superoneclick
2) flash this CWM file to acquire root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286220)
enjoy.

Wait, you flashed my pre-rooted system image tar?
Then there is no need to use SuperOneClick or the CWM kernel - you should be rooted already.
Also, if you flash my kernel instead of the CWM one, it will automatically root you on the first boot.
Thank you guys I certainly appreciate the help. I look forward to flashing root / cm7! Afterall, aside from service, the main reason I switched from Epic Touch 4G.

Hey guys,
I've been searching for an answer for days now and I finally decided to make an account here on XDA.
I recently unlocked the bootloader of my Atrix (I have superuser and all) and now I want to upload a custom ROM (CM7). I followed the steps on the CM7 thread for installation yet I was left scratching my head and eventually was extremely frustrated after many reboots, configurations, and even a hard reset!
I used ROM Manager to get CWM, I flashed the latest version, and entered recovery mod, both from the app and manually. Nothing - just the Android Recovery. Tried many times, sometimes I was given a "failed to boot 2, starting RSD mode" error but most of the times I was just taken to the normal recovery.
I read somewhere that the install-recovery.sh file found in the system had to be deleted so I downloaded ES File Explorer, enabled root and writing and successfully deleted it (or so I thought), I was taken to the android recovery again! When I checked the file explorer again, install-recovery.sh was back... I have tried many times and it keeps on returning.
What am I doing wrong? I don't even know how to use fastboot, I am a noob and 90% of the language used on this forum is foreign to me hahaha (I traded my iPhone 4 for the Atrix less than two weeks ago). Also, I accidentally deleted my install-recovery.sh.bak file, is that important?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin.
Alright, calm down, and dont panic, I was a noob too, just dont do anything rash and this'll be fine. First off, the install-recovery.sh.bak thing, or whatever you said it was called, is just a backup of whatever it was replacing, hence the .bak file extension. Now, you can still get into Android right, everything boots correctly and whatnot, or are you not able to boot right now? Also, it says youre unlocked for sure, correct? Like, when you boot, it says Unlocked up in the corner? We're going to get you through this, just answer these questions first
Hey,
Sorry if I sounded dramatic haha, just typed off the top of my head.
Thanks for clarifying regarding the bak file. No, it does not say unlocked at the top corner when booting, i assumed having the superuser app meant that I was unlocked/bootloader unlocked. The am I missing something here?
Also, my phone is totally functional. In fact, I am typing this on it

I have been trying all day to unlock the bootloader with no success lol
I can't install RSDlite, it gives me error 29** or something like that, have tried multiple download links and I cannot install the x64 driver, my desktop is running 32 bit which is probably the issue I'm guessing... Any alternates? It gives me a "processor type not compatible" error.

Have you tried the automatic unlock linked to in Swift's N00B guide? It doesn't get any easier than that.
It's packaged with RSDLite 5.3.1. It's the one I used to unlock. Don't see why it wouldn't still work. There's a link to Motorola's driver page there as well.
Do not use the CWM packaged with it though, it's outdated. Flash romracer's or ROM Manager's.

I followed all the steps and eventually it got to the unique ID part, no ID was shown, googled it and found out that I had to use RSDlite first, but there's my problem.. Also tried the fastboot oem method, same problem.

You had mentioned you were trying to use the x64 drivers on a 32-bit machine. Did you ever get around to installing the correct x86 ones from the Motorola site?

See my previous post, #7. If you go to that automatic unlock thread, there is a link to the Motorola drivers page in the instructions. Look at the prerequisites.
Got it working, thanks guys!
I have sorta a unique situation. When i went to root and unlock my Atrix, I accidentally deleted my whole android OS. I figured out how to install the CherryBlur rom. That is what i am running on my phone now. I want to get back to the original firmware and have gingerbread. I am slightly familiar with RSD Lite. If anyone knowns whether or not it is possible to get back to stock android and firmware using RSD Lite, please leave a detailed step by step description. Thank you!

Can you see file extensions on your computer? Open the file and within the window select "Tools" and "Folder Options". Then select the "View" tab and scroll down and un-check the option to "Hide extensions for known file types"

Jeezus, I had to download the entire thing to tell you that it's the
"Moto-FB Stock Restore" File
It should have said "Windows Batch File" right next to it!
Thanks so much!
Nvm, i guess you solved it...
Please post in the Q&A forums to keep us organized.
When i have to boot into fastboot, all i do it hold power and volume down button until it says fastboot and that is it? Or do i have to do that then press volume up to get to the "Starting fastboot protocol support"?
And also should i do this not connected to my computer and then connect it when i am in fastboot?
Yes, it should say "Starting fastboot protocol support" and I don't think it matters when you plug it in to start it, but most people usually "describe" the instructions as putting it into fastboot then plugging it in.

I just used this to try to get back to stock and now it is in a boot loop. It just keeps booting up until it gets to the Rethink Possible Att symbol and then doesn't do anything. After about 3 mins it reboots again and goes into the same thing. Any help?
Also, do i only run the file that says "Moto-FB Stock Restore" or do i run something after that?
Have you tried pulling the battery and rebooting?

I am on vacation and my fassy decided to stay in recovery upon boot. It gets stuck in boot loop. I'm running AOKP Build 30 w/ Glitch. My fiance has a macbook with her however, everything I've read says that we can't use Mac for rooting or restoring fassy's. Is there anyway to get out of the boot loop with an option in clockwork. From what I understand we can't use the two button hard boot with ICS roms. I could use some help, I'd rather not be without my phone for a week.
Thanks guys

Is there anyway to access a Windows computer? With Parallels, VMWare, a virtual computer lab, or something else?
If so, follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070
If no, Hiemdall http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
Goodluck
Apparently there's no driver for samsung fascinate with mac connectivity. I downloaded Heimall and the full tar package but didn't work. Does anyone know how to generically attatch my phone to the computer. Someone said something about a generic connection as a drive that works with heimall. I'm pretty pissed and can't seem to get this work. I'll pry end up just going down to a lab and hogging that for thirty minutes or so.
Heimdall has its own driver. It'll be in the driver folder in the suite. Also I'd use an older version of heimdall suite if you can. The newer version tried to streamline things but ended up being a downgrade IMO.

I tried to use Heimdall but couldn't locate the driver. I then located a "exitrecovery.zip" that was supposed to be flashed in cwm. I used my gf's phone to download it then switched sd cards and that didn't work. Still stuck in cwm loop. I can't get to a pc where i can download Odin software to. There's no other flashable file i can find to help me get out of this loop.
look at section 9 of my guide...I always keep a cm7 rom on my sd card just incase this happens!
Can I flash a cm7 rom if i'm stuck on a cm9 bootloop??

Hi,
I want to try install the new Cyanogenmod on my Tab, read a bit about it, and tried last night to get it going. many different forums and steps were tried... none worked? Thing is, I read a lot of terms and stuff, but I'm not sure what they all mean.
My route took me through Android SDK's for drivers, Samsung drivers with escape??? no clue what that was?? Nvidia drivers? Then tried to use a program called Clockworkmod? Confusing, especially since nothing seemed to actually do anything?
What is it that I need to do exactly?
What i can say is that when I boot my Tab up, there is an unlocked padlock at the bottom of the screen.
I have the latest Cyanogenmod for my Tab "p3" downloaded, as well as the Google Apps.
Cheers

You need to use Odin to flash Clockworkmod recovery onto your tablet.
Then you need to download the p4wifi (if yours is wifi) edition of CM9
Then boot clockworkmod recovery and flash CM9 and then Google Apps
ok, but with more in depth steps please, i got a better idea now though!! thanks

Root http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-root-clockworkmod-recovery-50799/ (stop after step 12.)
CM9 Flashable Zip http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/4709/cm-9-20120720-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip
Get into recovery mode, go to install zip from SD, select the zip /\ hit yes. Reboot.
Ok, no joy,
What I seem to have:
A working fastboot, fastboot devices does list my device. And when I try flash something via Odin, my Tab says "flashing mbr to device" so my action on my pc does initiate something on the tab. yet it stops there, at the flashing mbr to device screen. It does not start the recovery img.
A working adb, adb reboot recovery does reboot my tablet, but it still does not boot into recovery. It has a android sign, with a yellow exlamation mark over it.
I've tried to flash skitzandroid, clockworkmod, and the tabrooteasy one. I just cant seem to get this thing rooted?
Is there something I'm missing?
I do have an unlocked padlock on my screen when i boot it up.
