I have rooted Atrix 4G I purchased it rooted. I want to update to ICS but I've heard that you shouldn't update rooted phone. Is it possible to do the update? or would I have to unroot my phone first. Since I purchased the phone rooted, I have no idea what was used or how its done. Any help is appreciated.
thank you
First of all, if you are talking about official ICS update then I have to break ur heart, it's cancelled. Motorola will not provide any ICS update to Atrix. Now ur phone is rooted, then u can install CyanogenMod 9(ICS) rom. CM9 is fully working ICS with only a laggy camcorder problem. Developers are trying to debug this. Otherwise cm9 is good. :thumbup:
Atrix 4G, CM7 based TopSmarts 1.3 rom, Faux123 1ghz kernel.
If I m helpful dont hesitate to thank me.
When I go into my settings->about phone->system updates it tells me that I have an update available. and the release note say that it is software upgrade Android 4.0.4 for Motorola Atrix 2. is this not ICS?

Hey guys/gals, so I recently rooted my WiFi tab using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185
My question is, once the OTA ICS update rolls around from Samsung what will happen to my device?
Thanks.
your device will get android 4.0...
If you allow the ICS update, it will update you to ICS but remove your root. If you flash a custom ROM then you won't get the ICS update until you go back to stock.
or until we get custom ICS roms. Which at the rate development of them is going in xda, may be before the ota release.

Yeah, I have been on GB with my Samsung Captivate for over 3 months and there is no eta yet for an official update to GB yet.
often people will root the ota to keep root. i would imagine we will have ics roms before samsung releases it.
Im a student and im planing on using my tab for classes (taking notes, etc). I found this really good app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.writepad but it says that galaxy 10.1 owners must root their device to install (touchscreen tune) https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vital&hl=en
I really need this app, but i don't know if once rooted I'll be able to update to ice cream sandwich or any other future updates. Can anyone tell me if I'll be able to update?? Any help will be great!

If you root you will not get the OTA updates. CM9 will be out for rooted tabs way before the OTA update (not to mention that it will probably be vastly superior), so you'll get ICS, just not from Samsung...
I was able to update from 3.1 to 3.2 via Kies' after rooting. I just lost root, had to reroot... Though, honestly, I cannot fathom a reason to take an update loaded with tons of bloat when there are 100% better roms available here to flash in - and painlessley I might add.
Thanks for the answers, do you know if a rom for ics is abailable? and do uknow of any good roms?

No stable ICS ROMS yet - keep an eye in the Development section below for updates.
You have to match the ROM with your device. I have a wifi only Tab, so I use Galaxy Task V10.
there are ics roms....just have some bugs...

I am running motorola software update and everytime I try I get there is no software update at this time. I want to re-install the offical motorola atrix att update but seem unable to. My att atrix is rooted and is running the stock rom.
is your phone from at&t? as far as I know, there's no recent update since 2.3.4 was released.
Yeah what are you talking about? It sounds like you are on stock already, just rooted.

Why do you want to install the latest again if you are currently running it, which it appears you are if there is no update available?
If you want to just reinstall your stock ROM, and you are already on the latest ROM, you cannot do this through update. You will have to flash the latest ROM (which would be your current version) via other means such as RSDLite and a SBF, or via fastboot per the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163342
Link above is for AT&T device.
It is adviseable to NOT flash a SBF though.
Simple search and some reading will give you all the information you need, but it sounds like you probably have no experience or you wouldn't be asking this, so I would say to be very careful and/or not do anything with your phone if stock is what you want.
Hi guys,
Someone can tell how to unroot from motofail root in 2.3.6 stock rom??
I'd like to update to ICS via OTA when moto begin roll out, and i'm not sure this will be possible with root.
Do you know something??
Tnx
You'll need to provide more information before any one will be able to help. You may also want to check to see if there's a dedicated forum for your device.

Thanks for the tips...
I have a GSM Motorola Razr with 4.0.3 based rom, with also root and cwm recovery
When official update from Motorola will be released, I'd like to update via OTA from 2.3.6 stock rom with root (I've a nand backup obtained with cwn recovery).
Do you think root on 2.3.6 could deny the OTA update.
I hope I was clear about the problem
I saw that root doesn't affect possibility to update via OTA from stock rom.
Is it true or not?
Someone can confirm, please?
Tnx

You can only install a rom if you have an unlocked bottloader

I suggest to stick with a 2.3.5 ROM or go with CM 7, which is 2.3.7. Gingerbread is the most stable and everything for the most part works. ICS and JB are not really worth it due to not having the Motorola Graphics Drivers for ICS or JB. Too many issues to make it really a daily driver unless you like bugs and lots of force close issues due to the driver issue. Maybe someday but I doubt it since we really have no developers left, the Motorola Atrix driver that was created from scratch, will get ported to the Photon. Then and only then will ICS or JB be worth the flash. The ROM in my signature, 2.3.5, is one of the best in my opinion and one of the most stable, everything works. I have given ICS and JB ROMs a try but keep going back to GB as they are more stable. Even CyanMobile is a good GB ROM, the most options of any rom for a 2.3.5 ROM. The only issue I had with it was the "Sleep Screen of Death" and it would never wake-up. I then had to wipe the cache and dalvik cache to get it to boot again. That would happen a few times a day but then again I am non a Motorola Electrify and it was build for a Photon. Good luck in your choice but don't expect much support as development is pretty much gone and it does not seem there are even many users left.
I plan to get a new phone in the near future and will be not hanging around this section much, sadly I believe I will get the Moto X and its new and there will be a lot of development going on for a new popular phone.

Sorry but the fact that you have the Android 2.3.5 version means that your bootloader is locked forever. You can only unlock your bootloader if you have Android 2.3.4. What Sprint did with the Android 2.3.5 update is lock your bootloader plus they added some small features for the camera. Of course in the release notes, Sprint won't highlight the fact that locking the bootloader was part of the Android 2.3.5 upgrade.
You just have to go find a phone that has Android 2.3.4 still installed and immediately unlock your bootloader.
an other Q is that any idea to enhance the camera pictures quality (i.e is too bad----)
Beanstalk 4.2.2 is almost completely stable as long as you freeze contact storage... And bluetooth is broken... But it's smooth
