Download "Terminal Emulator" if you dont already have it.
Open it and type these commands:
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync
reboot

As far as I know, there are a couple of methods both of which require your device to be rooted.
You can root using THIS method, remove the service menu ( that image on your screen) and then unroot using that same method.
It wont void your warranty, if thats whats worrying you.

It's missing a file. You need root to create the file which is missing. Either that, or flash back to Gingerbread.
understood, thanks both

Hi Guys,
I used the easy root method and i want to unroot and return to stock. From my understanding when rooting you actually downgrade your software/radio version. I downloaded the file under the thread easy unroot, but how do i load it?

Download that file and rename to PG05IMG.zip, boot into hboot and phone should do the rest.
So. I don't want to root my phone yet. And since the program that I've been using to tether has been Barnacle and it requires root, it work work. So how can a get free WiFi tethering?
Does adding a custom APN still work?

Download SQLite Editor
Go to: Settings Storage (2nd one) > settings.db > settings
Once you're there, find "entitlement_check" and change the field to the right from "1" to "disabled"
Then reboot your phone and you should be able to tether.
Hope this helps.

I can't help you then, but I'm just curious... what's your opposition to rooting your phone? If you're a fan of modding, rooting is a MUST.

Flashing your phone is fairly simple, I recommend you use RSD Lite to flash this SBF:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138204
It will unlock your bootloader and root your phone w/o you having to do anything but flash the SBF.

Hi,
Very frustrated noobe looking for expert help!!!
I rooted(i think/hope) my att us Atrix via fastboot and preinstall.img
downloaded superuser and terminal emulator and ran a script found somewhere here
Then download SQLite editor from the market to access the file quoted above and make the change that enables wifi tethering.
PROBLEM: When i try to access the place where the DB file is(or should be) editor displays "not a database file" and this happen with any DB file.
Any ideas why that should happend??? Might it be phone is not properly rooted? SQLite editor does say "sqlite has been granted superuser access"
Please help

Aye, CM5 is most definitely rootable (used torpedo)... my P4G is set up that way right now.
Im a noob but not to rooting i have tried every method possible still no luck.some 1 bought this phone from over seas (i am in Jamaica) it is running on gsm mode i cant even see what prl im on wen i go into setting about phone.i think if it was activated then i wouldn't have all these prob.the phone was his personal device when he sold me he call and canceled it. So i am at a loss rite know because he cant ask for msl code for a phone he reported lost
as ive said before. If you are having problems rooting or think its not working try to put your phone in charge only mode under usb. Bet that will fix it for you.

thanks mate
1. Go to Settings/Application/development menu and make sure that USB debugging is checked
2. Open Notification screen by swipe down from the top of the screen, you should see USB connection. Choose that and make sure choose "Charge Only" and click OK
3. Download Superuser from Market and install it on your phone.
4. go to Settings/Display/Screen Timeout and choose never
5. Download drivers, ADB packages, Root files from the link below and extract them to your C drive under Root directory (C:\Root). Then just follow the direction of the link below to root your phone.
http://briefmobile.com/how-to-root-motorola-photon-4g
If you follow the direction correctly, If i remember correctly at the last step your phone Superuser application should popup and ask you to allow the root process to access root. Click OK then you are root
Hi, I know I can unroot by flashing kernel and stock rom, but this will effectively wipe my phone. My question is can we unroot the phone or remove root capabilities without wiping the phone?
I have heard that super one click can unroot, but am not sure if it also wipes.
thanks

Thanks hellcat, so if I remount and remove those apk without doing reset, will that achieve unroot? I don't want to warranty, only not have the phone report as not rooted so I can access work networks.
I have jig so can do that after.

Not only the .APK, delete su and busybox too, just like shown in the terminal input on the linked post.

That means you want it to show as rooted.... yay double negative.
But yes, the above linked unroots, thats why I linked to it, as that was your question.
Thanks, I am guessing that I have to flash a fixed kernel to achieve root again.
Yes, double neg, you know what I mean ;-)
Hello everybody.
I have an issue with my xperia ray and need some help! I use ICS 4.0.4 4 / 1.B.0.431. Today I decided to root my phone and everything went well so I thought why not mod it? So, I liked this mod and decided to use it. But something went terribly wrong and now I lost my status bar and all notifications as well as background image even though I did everything correctly! Unfortunately I was stupid enough as not to keep a backup of the files I changed so what is the easiest way to reverse it, that does not require a format? I think the problem is with the systemui.apk but I don't know how to fix it.
Thank you in advance and sorry for the bad english!

Extract the zip of your rom. In the extracted folder go to system/app and copy systemui.apk. Then go into your phones actual system/app directory and delete the systemui.apk that is there. Then paste the one from your rom, and change the permissions to rw-r-r
But I'm using the stock ROM. Where can I find the file?

well that means your device has not been detected, type fastboot devices, or fastboot-devices and tell me if it has any devices attached, also, check out my quick thread about adb and fastboot! its small and teaches basically everything for a standard user

Guys can you help me out, I was trying to edit SystemUI.apk with this tuto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527867 Then needed to put it on my phone following this tuto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235956
Now my phone keeps putting "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." I tried rebooting, same thing. What did I do wrong? Maybe in the signing? The video tutorial used "zipalign -fv 4 ...." command while I read on other tutorials you should copy the original manifest and I don't know which files but in the video he didn't do it...
Please help, the error message keeps coming in the way and I can't to anything.
