My wife has a Atrix 4g that i have to send back to att. She is not into flashing roms, etc but i am so i know what I'm doing just not with this phone. I'm wanting to root it, tbu all her apps and then unroot it to send it back. Is their such a tool for this phone? I've searched the threads and did not find anything. I do not want to have to flash sbf files. I have a one click root and unroot tool for my Atrix 2 but I'm sceptical of using it on her phone. She is on the 2.3.6 update- 4.5.141. If someone could point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.

Bump.

There is a file that enables one click root/unlock.
But to get back to full stock and locked you would have to use the sbf's.
Ya i seen that. I don't think I'm going to find what i am looking for. Iv read about this phone all morning and the phone itself is a hell of a lot different than my A2. She doesn't care for a rooted phone so I'm just going make her reinstall all her apps and data herself. Thanks for the help though.

I recently unrooted my GS2 i777, but now when I make phone calls (calls do actually connect) I cannot hear on either end. No sound sent, no sound received....
any ideas?
What ROM were you on before?

some build of ICS. Not sure exactly. I found how to unroot here http://galaxys2root.com/category/att-galaxy-s2/.
Everything should b stock now...or so i think...
Sounds like you might have the wrong modem installed.

With that unroot file from galaxys2root.com, it had all the files in one .tar (for the PDA slot in Odin) Where would i be able to track down the right modem file?
You could root again and then flash i777 modem and kernel to see if that will help. Are all your touch keys working?
Fyi if you want to unroot, you are beret off useing the sticky on this forum to do so.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Ya all the keys are working just fine. It connects to data, and i can send texts, just no voice.
I'm sorry, I'm admittedly a noob and cannot find it in the stickies....lol
just wondering why you decided to unroot?
Anyways if you are unrooted use this to get root back. If you are 2.3.6 you might want to do some reading to make sure this method will work.

Or if you don't want root, try factory reset.

Can he just simply perform "factory reset" to bring back bone stock from a custom ROM?
Is that easy??? Hmmm
His first post said he unrooted already.

So i got a note today and so far its awesome except for the fact that its at stock gingerbread. This wouldnt be a problem but my laptop is down. Is there any way i can rot and install Cwm without a computer? Any help would be appreciated.

You get get odin mobile but it's pricy I think

That requires root to use.

you need a pc to be able to root this phone unfortunately
maybe go to a friends and do it quickly, doesnt take to long
I figured. Always good to ask though. The last phone i had was pre-rooted and rom'd so that made things easy. (it was a skyrocket i got from someone from craigslist)

I rooted using exynose abuse app which gave me superuser and root and then installed too manager flashed recovery with that been flashing ever since don't own a laptop anymore unless my wife decides to come back home lol
Just wondering if the Thunderbolt had to be activated before rooting or not.
Anyone know?
I plan on rooting one for my mother in law but she hasn't activated it yet for service.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Mine was rooted when I activated it. I ended up unrooting because there were problems with my activation unrelated to being rooted. Just makes sure you're on the latest firmware first.

No problem. The reason you should stick with the stock ruu is because if they need software info it will match. I doubt they will hut you never know.

I probably will just root it anyways. If something weird happens, I'll just unroot it and start over.

So it IS safe to root before activating?
Just double checking.

Yeah, just until it gets activated, then I can change over to a different ROM.

Yea. I remember on the Eris it wasn't possible to activate on anything but a stock rom. On this I'm not to sure so I would go with a sense 2.1 for sure.

I can say if you have verizon you might wanna wait on rooting even if you root but have a stock rom because i sat in their store over an hour and a half one day setting up a new sim card with a samsung stratosphere i rooted and it had the tweaked rom and stock rom and had to unroot cuz their computer couldnt connect to device right and finally after 8 new simcards i just unrooted used my backup of original factory firmware i took before flashing customized stock rom.... I know im a lil late on this but my advice is root it after its been activated...save yourself hassle and embarrassment knowing they are not supposed to help you when your device is rooted...

This is the reason I never go in the store. I've never had a problem activating a rooted phone. That is why I always suggest going back to a stock firmware though because cm roms and other aosp roms have trouble activating most of the time.

I'll be the first to say it...
I screwed up my phone entirely and I know. But that's neither here nor there at this point.
I'm really just hoping for some serious help at this point.
Thanks in advance.
I was stock ll4 baseband and attempted to run “one click"casual to root/unlock/recovery.
Somehow during this process my phone managed to root but failed to unlock or install custom recovery.
I made it back to home screen and checked for root status to verify.
This is where the bonehead mistakes come in
I then tried to install twrp manually thinking the bootloader possibly unlocked during casual. But it did not.
After trying to boot into recoveryi get a notification that I am running custom software and to return my device immediately to Verizon.
I can't get back to home screen either same message.
I attempted to revert to stock several times using droidstyle method and Odin keeps coming at sboot.bin.
Does anyone out there no wtf I did to my phone?
Please help. Thank you

?? 4.0.4 not sure which one that is
Its ICS, if you go to Santods forum. Infectedrom.com you can find the way there but there's more to it than the all in one. Its a little harder but not much. You do have to make an account to view the forums though, but that's not really a hindrance.

you need to unlock your bootloader before anything, you can do that at htcdev.com
Thanks!! Excellent referral! Just wish I could find a simple link like that for roms...lol
