When you apply the 2.3.5 update to go to eclipse breaks root....and using zergrush is probably the easiest way to fix that

Lost superuser privelages after flashing this update

I flashed this http://www.filefactory.com/file/cfbc5d2/n/update_1024_working_data_zip over stock rom i am unlocked and was rooted with djbliss one click method now root rights are gone

Troubleshoot that a couple of ways. First, go into the market, and download rootchecker by joeykrim. That should tell you if you somehow lost root. If you did, root again, I actually prefer photon torpedo method found in these forums.
If you still have root, go the market and download superuser. If you are showing that you still have root, and that superuser is installed, then you should be good, if not, then I would re-root with photon anyway.
I too lost root when I went back to 154....got the OTA to 198_6 then I re-rooted with AIO...all is good now

[Q] root 2.3.6

is there an one click root 2.3.6 for the atrix? I tried the 2 programes but none of them seemed to work?
Same question here, thanks

works for me with a locked bootloader.
There's also a voodoo root method that saves root before the update and restores root after the update.

You got a failed to boot 3 using the fastboot preinstall method?? At which step did you get the error
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Ok, I'm on 2.3.4 and rooted using the instructions from brief mobile. I don't believe I have an unlocked bootloader. The only things I have done to the phone were original script from here for rooting (not one click), and then a modified version of it after the first Atrix update which had a before update and after update script to run.
Then, when upgrading to 2.3.4, I used the brief mobile/fastboot method to root it.
So, am I correct in thinking that to update the phone now I need to:
1. Download the update installer from Motorolla and update the phone to 2.3.6? (am I right that I the OTA update won't work or could cause a problem????)
2. Follow the instructions at Brief Mobile to root the phone.
Is this right, or should I wait a while before upgrading for things to be sorted out? The message popping up is irritating, but I can live with it if it avoids bricking my phone or having other problems.
Thanks

The preinstall method is real easy. If that is too challenging then maybe you should wait for someone to volunteer to provide a 1-click/batch script on their own rather than requesting(demanding) it.

I tried that before and I got soft booted.
Try again by using the instructions from the "Android-advice" website.
http://www.android-advice.com/2012/root-the-motorola-atrix-4g-running-4-5-141/
Note: In those instructions specifically, it is important clarify that the phone should be in "fastboot" before entering in commands. Basically, do "step 6" before "step 4".

yes
btw, before you unroot 2.3.4. can you check if you have su, dosu and superuser.apk in /system/preinstall/ ? I'm not sure if I had those files when I was on 2.3.4, but I see them now on 2.3.6. I only removed the su related files as listed in the link when I was on 2.3.4, never removed su, dosu, etc from system/preinstall...guess it's not necessary for the 2.3.6 OTA to be successful on a locked bootloader.
I just rooted my Atrix after the OTA to 2.3.6 using this method. Worked perfect.

1) unroot 2.3.4 first:
http://androidforums.com/atrix-4g-all-things-root/423259-best-way-unroot.html
2) apply the 2.3.6 OTA update
3) redo the fastboot preinstall root method
btw before you unroot 2.3.4 can you check to see if you have su, dosu and superuser.apk in /system/preinstall? I see it now in 2.3.6 and am not sure if I had it there back when I was on 2.3.4
I didn't unroot before updating to 2.3.6 and now I can't get it to work. I keep getting the error "cp: write error: No space left on device", what should I do now?
Thanks.

what i did ...
UPDATE FROM STOCK 4.2.91 UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER AND ROOTED ATRIX 4G
try using OTA keeper from the market , before trying the OTA update , this is what i did
1 ) i unlocked my atrix 4g (2.3.4 all stock) with AUTOMATIC_UNLOCK_V4.2 and rooted with PetesMotorolaRootTools_v1.07 after that i installed CWM recovery
2 ) Make a Full backup of you rom using CWM and Titaniumbackup (never is enough)
3 ) MANY people say that using RSD LITE is not good , i just take the risk , because anyways the touch of my atrix is not doing good so i will be sending it to warranty soon anyways , i take the risk , i flash my atrix with RSD Lite 5.5 and this sbf
1FF-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011.sbf
i don´t know any other people but i did not loose any data or apps from my atrix it was everything there , unlocked sign erased , CWM recovery partition erased , ROOT was there it is like everything go back to stock ... almost everything my data part was untoched.
4 ) download from the market OTA Root Keeper make a backup of your root and then press unroot temp
5 ) with that done I started to download and install the OTA update
6 ) after this point the phonewill reboot to stock recovery mode and start to upgrade it took almost 10 min to do the update after finishing copying files, it restarted 2 times on the moto logo then started booting , it take a longtime to pass the att boot image be patience mine took almost 5 min after that the phonestarted with everything loaded my apps , photos videos etc.
I think this could be a workaround (it work for me) for updating to .141 , also the baseband was updated to N_01.77.37P_usa_att
The only thing that was untoched was the webtop part , it stays on WT 1.2, ireally don´t use it , but i think if im already on 2.3.6 i can RDS the full SBF to get Webtop upgraded also the kernel say 2.6.32.9 is that the correct kernel for 2.3.6 i read that kernel is for a Froyo sbf not pretty sure
The thing now is , i wanna try installing CWM recovery and see if im already "unlocked" and try fruitcakes to downgrade 2.3.4 but i am not pretty sure about this i think i will get a brick
Also , you can try investigate to downgrade of wait for a generous dev to take out of the oven the fruitcake for 2.3.6 and try the method above
I TAKE no responsibility with this mini-tuto for anything that could happen to your atrix it on you own do this , i take the risk and it works !!!
thanks everyone

Need help with a ROOT problem

I have a Galaxy Ace...which came with Android 2.2
My partner rooted it and everything was fine. At the same time he upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.3
But a couple of weeks ago he upgraded it to Gingerbread 2.3.6....and now it says it is root...but it doesn't have access to the root only apps....and it doesn't show the Superuser app that is needed.
Somehow it seems to be in some sort of limbo between unrooted and rooted.
I am well confused. Can anyone out there help please.
It looks like that the latest GB ROM used for the upgrade does not have the root.
You can add root to it. Before you do that, check by using terminal app with su command if the phone is rooted or not.

Thank you....it sounds a bit technical.
I will get my partner to read it in a while.
Although it sounded like I KNOW what I am on about...I am, in fact, a complete beginner when it comes to Android.
Updating from kies or from odin will make your phone unroot again. U need to reroot.

Root issue on Ace...
Hello all! I am Julado's partner. I had better explain what this is about in more detail here...
I took the original OS (Froyo) and updated it to Gingerbread (2.3.3) via Kies, I then used SOC to root it using ChainFire method - then installed and performed a TB back up. ALL Good - a few weeks later - I flashed an update using Odin to get 2.3.6 and an updated version of CF's kernel. At THAT point, CWM recovery had root access - but fully booted GingerBread had no SU app or returned root status via test command (both using a script and terminal). Sys info in settings shows 2.3.6 and ROOTED kernel image, but NO ROOT ACCESS is there in GB ~ Just in CWM Recovery.
I have re-flashed the CF kernel a few times and STILL have the same situation. I cannot understand why CWM has ROOT access but FULL 2.3.6 system doesn't.
Can anyone offer my any help please? Or possibly point out the blindingly obvious if I have missed what's clearly staring me in the face! Thanks.
So u already flashed ketut's cfroot kernel and still doesn't have root access in the rom? Thats weird.
Btw kernel name in system settings even if it said root doesnt mean your rooted. thats the build host of the kernel compiler.
Sent from your phone
When you are in GB, you can't root your ace via SOC. It will look success, but actually it's not. You have to root it using update.zip and flash via recovery. Just find it by googling.

I understand that the settings name is from build compiler. I have tested for root access with terminal and various apps (even tried downloading & installing SU app myself!!) - but don't understand why CWM DOES have root - but full OS doesn't!
I am truly baffled ATM!

I did get FULL root access after using SOC to root (chainfire method) GB - I rooted 2.3.3 with SOC, NO PROBLEMS! - THEN made TB (needs root) successfully. It was only after using Odin to flash 2.3.6 that SOC root resulted in the current quasi-rooted state.
I have tried re-flashing CF kernel both using Odin AND via CWM (update.zip) method - Neither worked = STILL BAFFLED???!

Fresh install of 4.04 after the fact?

Ok. so ive been trying to root with the new release but cant for some reason.
I figure its due to the fact that i unsucessfully tried to root with another method
is there a way to cleanly install 4.04 again?
factory wipe doesnt work, superuser is still in my app drawer
which version of ics do you have?
Blur_Version.651.167.3370.XT910.Brasil.en.BR.zip
so, the LATAM version
You can reinstall the OTA (Boot recovery > clean cache > wipe data/factory reset > install update from sd card).
or use this guide for fresh install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700264.
btw have you tried this process for root? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707431

thanks for the help. have a few options now to try. ill post my success or failure.

Try the root method first
I don't know if the script works, i used the manual process with commands.

I was right, i needed to do the fresh install to clear the previous root attempt and everything went BEAUTIFULLY
Thanks again buddy
I'm glad you made it. We really needeed that root exploit!
No one's answered this yet....
If I flash these current "leaks" like .210 for instance, to a 100% stock razr, 1.) do I have to root it first? and 2.) will the "OFFICIAL" release still be pushable and pullable for me without having to do anything special? Or will there be other things I have to do for having rooted the phone? (just asking)
At this point you can root any version of ICS using the latest exploit, but if you have a stock razr it's much easier to root 2.3.6 using Motofail and keep your root using voodoo ota rootkeeper.
If you flash a leak you will still be able to get the official OTA but not directly from your phone as an update, you will have to flash it as well.

maybe......
Just so I'm clear... and I rarely am about Motorola rooting... we'll likely be able to use this to root our phones when ICS finally drops?
I don't think Motorola will have the time to patch this, considering that the OTA is about to be released soon, but even in that case, there will be another option for sure, many developers wait for the official release to post their work

[Q] How to regain root access after losing it from ICS update

I've been enjoying root access on my Motorola XT910 on version 2.3.6 and was able to update to other Gingerbread updates. Apparently, doing OTA updates on my RAZR results with me losing my superuser access on my phone but I was able to restore it twice using "Voodoo OTA RootKeeper" app. However, just today, I updated to ICS and as usual, I lost root access. I tried restoring it using Voodoo but I could no longer run applications requiring superuser access this time.
Can someone help me so I can have root access on my device again? Should I re-root my device and will the old rooting method for Gingerbread work fine with a Motorola XT910 running on ICS?

That's kinda weird when I updated to ICS I was able to use voodoo to recover my root no problem. The newer versions of superuser have the ability to restore root access (like voodoo) you may want to see if that worked otherwise check out motofail's rooting for ics

Some of the easy root tools in the development section work on linux and PC.
Check for the threads entitled "[Tool]"...a lot of them are very easy to use.
