hey guys I had a atrix 4g that i sold to a friend of mine. before i did i had rooted it and unlock the bootloader. so i can run titanuim backup to get m data off.
the problem is the phone now which still has stock rom on it. is giving my buddy low memory error when he plugs it into the lapdock. its has never done that before and only started now. i read on another thread that it might have something to do with the unlock bootloader or something. i didnt install any custom rom or any customer recovery on it. just rooted and unlock bootloader then got unlock code to unlock phone for different network.
any help would be great my friend really wants to use the lapdock like i used to.
thanks in advance

Hi Everyone,
So I am just awaiting my unlock code to come in so I can finally full use the Atrix as a true phone. So while waiting for it I performed the Sim and Motoblur bypass from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027994&highlight=sim+card
Now that I can play with the phone I would like to get ahead of the game and root the Atrix now and play with it some more.
Do you guys see any issues with that? I guess I would have to watch it and everytime it boots up and perform the Boot Android (No BP).
Thanks in advance!
BTW: AT&T Atrix
Answer is yes
It doesn't even ask about the sim card anymore... It just says there is none.
Hello, I just recently got an Atrix off of ebay. I want to get into playing witih android phones. I've already read numerous threads, got the android sdk, rsd lite, etc.. I've been reading about flashing, and to be careful of what you flash based on what firmware versions are already on the phone.
The problem I have is the phone is subsidy locked, but it's locked in a way that not even AT&T sims work. It always asks for the pin, and the code AT&T gave me (they stated it was the subsidy unlock code) fails. So I looked at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356121
However, I have no idea what's on this phone. I can't access any settings menu in the phone, as it sticks to the "Emergency Calls Only" screen. i don't know what firmware is on the phone, what radio is on it, etc.. I don't want to try to flash a radio file and have it brick my phone. I've read quite a bit this past hour, but I'm at a crossroads here and don't know what to do to figure out what is exactly on this phone. If I knew what I had exactly, I'd be a lot more confident in flashing things.
I do know the bootloader is unlocked (the phone boots saying "Unlocked"). That's all I know :\
EDIT: Disregard. It took me another 6 hours but I finally got everything figured out (had to boot it with no sim to view things, then from there I got into it all). Rooted, CWM, flashed the bell radio and my sim works for now. Thanks for the valuable info that's listed here!
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
hey,
I do have the atrix which is netwoek subsidy locked.
I even cant use at&t. I am outside us currently.
Could you tell me how did you flashed bell radio & where u got that.
Thanks
I bought an atrix 4g mb860 with the lapdock locked to at&t.. latest android version 2.3.6..
I live in egypt..
first I called at&t asked for the unlock code, they gave it to me.
didnt work the unsuccessful
then i called again to make sure of the code but unfortunately they gave me the same code. they suggested i would call motorola
i called motorola they guided me to make a factory reset but did not solve the problem.
i unlocked the phone root
instal cwm
flashed diff radios
didnt help
flashed back 2.3.4
nothing yet
tried diff radios again
tried CM7.2
nothing worked
finaly i sent it to a repair shop
they said they were unable to unlock it.
now i do not know what to do????
i was thinking maybe doing advanced hacking to the software may help.
or eveeen changing the motherboard.. i thought of going to motorola asking them to replace the motherboard for me...
i want to know where does this ****en lock code is.. it is like a ghost i replaces software and boot loader where is that memory that hold the lock code and make it functionable on every software...
You're trying to sim unlock your phone, right? It's not a bootloader unlocking, i guess...
yes
Yeah, I'm not sure where the SIM lock code is either, but it is definitely not within the bootloader or boot or the ROM area. I think it might not be user-accessible at all. It's not like on Samsungs where you modify a file and that makes it unlocked.

I believe this is correct, I doubt it's in user accessible files. I'm no expert but if I had to guess it would be built into the firmware or a separate; small chip for storage that is inaccessible. It is only accessible via kernel probably, so it's very low level. Just a guess.
EDIT:

anyyy ideas for solving this problem... other than throwing the device in the recycling bin
Okay, I am completely new to this forum, somewhat new to unlocking phones, and have no idea how to do this, after searching all over the net for hours. I apologize in advance for the nonsense I am about to spew into the faces of the readers.
I want to unlock my Droid razr xt912 (original, not HD or M or any of those), which is on Verizon Network (I think there are others for att network and all those), to my net10 network, which gives me all the unlimited data and blah blah.
I was on ICS, I rooted my phone. For some reason I decided to update my phone to JB so I would stop getting the annoying update notification. I assume I've lost my root since I updated. I believe I have to root my phone and all that to unlock it.
(edit) I tried rooting with razr blade and saw access denied to "/something/something" several times during the process. OI opened Titanium backup to see if it was rooted, and it said it didn't have permissions. In superuser, the binary is outdated, I try to update and it fails.
My question is, do I simply need to root my phone after all this madness to proceed into unlocking it? AND, how do I go about unlocking it AFTER I root it again, if it is at all possible?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for this forum vomit. @[email protected]

im not sure if your in usa or not but xt 912 does not work in usa on any other network other then verizon.
if your using it outside usa you dont need to unlock it you just change settings to global and allow roaming although it doesnt charge the settings will let you use data. the phone doesnt need to be unlocked just the settings need to be changed. thats all.
secondly rooting has nothing to do with unlocking. whether you root now or later doesnt matter. you do need to root to play around and install tweaks and custom roms etc
hope this helps. also for xt 912 you can always go to www.droidrzr.com they have excellent support including live chat for xt 912 phone users.
Unlock
Why is it that I can get a gray screen to show up that says:
" SIM network unlock PIN
[Unlock] [Dismiss]"
Hello all. I've just recently "upgraded" (relatively speaking) from the ZTE Sonata 3 on Cricket to the incrementally-better Overture 3. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get root. Thanks in advance.

do you mind sending me a link for the mentioned pdanet with wifi direct?
To boot into recovery on zte overture 3 isnt that hard, just hold down the power button while it is booting up. The screen will go black and it will look like its rebooting again, but instead of booting into the normal operating system, it boots i to recovery mode. Yes this is for the cricket version (just make sure you go into developer tools and allow the OEM bootloader to be unlocked)
so is this confirmed rootable?
unlock Cricket Overture 3 bootloader
download G-droid (is apk store) download Secret codes. tap on 759 (google partner setup) OEM on/off is there. Set to on and it's now in your developer options. Works on Z851M 7.1.1 just figured it out tonight.. I will root it... someone else could probably do it faster..
