(1) Looks like you didn't bother watching that registration video. ( SEE #2 )
(2) Please use the search functions of this forum and possibly of Google as this question "What is rooting, whats it mean....etc..." has already been answered.
(3) Please note that 2.3.3 is currently the only official release for the S2 at this time all other versions are simply leaked or test versions.
(4) I am also new to this and the best way to learn is to search previously answered questions.
(5) Cant stress this one enough. Any modifications to your phone will VOID THE WARRANTY depending is the stock files are available and if you got the jig you may be able to restore it to stock but this is no guarantee so be forewarned!

Use google and read up on rooting. Understand what it means and then come back, root the damn thing and become a flash addict.

Hi,
I just bought an Atrix, I was checking the roms, and I like the Alien and also the Gingerbread stock rom.
I had a ZTE Blade before, brand new, and following the tutorials and could install everything.
The question is that this Atrix is not brand new, i think is rooted ( cause i have the app "Superuser" but no idea about bootloader... Here is what i can see in settings:
System Version: 4.2.11.MB860.Retail.en.FR
Android Version: 2.2.2
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
I don't wanna brick it, and I couldn't find a post to update the device from a rooted 2.2.2. I just need to know what should i do at first, after I get to clockworkmod recovery i am able to.
Thank you very much

2.- Should i unlock my bootloader if i install the oficial rom?

1. I recommend using a custom ROM, only because its faster and you get better performance.
2. Yes. If you are will to do it, I have an easy way how.
3. Most if not all ROMS are better than than stock.
4. Only if you downgrade software from 2.3 to 2.2 you will brick your phone. Correct me if I am wrong though on this one other xda members. I am willing to help, just let me know.

Thank you very much Voelker, and which rom would u recommend me? the fastest and stable rom?. Also how about the update, should i first unlock the bootloader then update to the oficial version of ginger? or should i unlock the bootloader then update to a custom rom without touching the oficial version ever?
cm7 is the best unless you want webtop or fingerprint scanner
if you want webtop or fingerprint scanner id say go for alien
Here is the easiest way to unlock bootloader and root your phone.

Don't know, but the latest build has "improved recording quality"
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
judging by your signature i assume u have CM7, i read a post in the official CM7 rom thread that there was something wrong with the dialer? like the graphics were kind of weird or zoomed, can u confirm this?
Also, do u have the latest build? can u tell me if there's a 1080p option there?
Also have any of you tried this kernel? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257574&page=299
No one? well can anyone tell me which one is the best kernel for the Atrix?
I use Faux123's 1ghz cm7 kernal
sent from my Atrix via XDA premium
Does that one allows you to overclock?

No you need the faux kernel that is over 1 ghz like the 1.45 kernel. You can definetly over clock that.

amazon..co.uk buy
Hello everyone i'm new to this forum and i would like to know what i should do with my atrix.
I bought it off of amazon.co.uk (i live in england) and i would like to know how to root it. (i run Gingerbread, by the way)I know you must be thinking oh what an idiot follow the tutorials, but i keep seeing AT&T everywhere so im wondering what's up with that, and why are some of the roms only compatible with AT&T. Oh, and i searched allready too.
Have you tried this? ... http://www.psouza4.com/Bionic/
At the top, it says "This method works on Motorola phones running Android OS 2.3.4 or earlier." There is no mention of AT&T.
Hope this helps
thanks! yeah i looked at that, but i still dont get the whole AT&T thing for ROM. As im in england i cant get AT&T but thanks anyway for that root method!
The AT&T thing is because there is an Atrix International and an Atrix 4G from AT&T. Its mostly same specs, barely 3g bands.

Hi I was thinking of buyinga atrix I just have a few questions if u can help me.
1.how well is the fingerprint recognition?
2.is there a official ginber bread or a custom working one with all features of the phone working.
3.is the internel memory different from provider to provider (I know the bloatware by providers use up a bit of the memory).
4.also is any features missing by any providers (I can remember tmobile sometimes would remove front facing cameras on certain devices).
5.I heard there is screen issues how true is this? Also are there any other issues.
Sorry for so many questions .
Thanks using htc sensation at the moment.
Hello Hello!
Okay so i am new to the forum and i hope im posting this to the right place! so i am not a total noob to this type of stuff but i recently got the Atrix 4G and am having a HECK of a time doing what i need (not sure if i will get shut down, but in short i want to be able to use the wifi hot spot tethering running on straight talk)
i have read through post after post and have tried every variation on this site and about 3 others for root my phone but none seem to work... It is my understanding that i need to unlock the boot loader in order to root this phone but all of the boot loader unlocks dont work.
Here is my phone info:
Model: MB860
Android: 2.3.6
Kernel verson: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: 4.5.141
if anyone is willing and capable i will be very appreciative of any help!
Rooting is for getting extra access to your phone that require such rights to do so. Unlocking is needed for installing custom ROMS.
If you are looking for a way to root your phone, then check out "Doomlord's method". I don't have the link handy, but just Google "Doomlord root Atrix" and take the first result...
