I have never rooted my phone before, and I'm not "techy" at all. I have searched far and wide, and everyone who has rooted theirs AFTER the 4.5.145 update had previously rooted their phone.
I would like to find a pre-install method, I don't want to wipe anything off my phone. I just want to gain access.
I have been having the wifi/bluetooth problem that seems to be common with this update. I also get random reboots. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know. I've heard I have to flash it to 4.5.141 after I root it? I don't know. I'm completely lost!
The preinstall method works with all firmware versions.

Hi all,
My atrix on Bell is just a couple days old.
Is the process to root and use the adeo custom roms exactly the same as the AT&T atrix?
If not, is there anything different or a thread someone can refer me to?
Thanks,
i am sure that you can root it the same way as at&t atrix cuz I bought an bell atrix and i did root it using the same steps. not sure for rom.

You can use aRoot but I would hold off on Adeo and any other mods to the ROM until they are confirmed Bell compatible

I agree, wait a while so the devs can test stuff for the bell version. GingerBlur should be out soon for bell version.
hi guys,
has gingerblur come out for bell atrix?

Rooting Moto Atrix
I just got my Bell Atrix about two weeks ago, I rooted it yesterday using a nice little software called "supper one click" it has options for root, unroot, and non-market apps. there is a vid on YouTube that will show how yo do it ( super easy ) I can't add the link but if you google "rooting Motorola Atrix" it will be the first one.
I'm not sure if it is the best way to go but it worked perfect for me (please donate to developer for his hard work!)
As for the ROM I'm going to wait for more feedback ! bricks are nice to build a house not for a phone

Unless it was updated, Super One Click is technically not the best way to root your Atrix as it was built off of other phones' codes and not fully from the Atrix's so there are some unwanted codes. Super One click included a busybox script, which the Atrix already had. So in essence you have 2 busybox scripts on your phone and it can do some unwated things when you use SU. I don't remember the issues of having 2 busyboxs on your phone. aRoot by DG was designed for the Atrix but DG left supporting the Atrix. At that time, DG recommneded everyone that used the Super One Click to reroot with aRoot. The best way to root atm is Gladiroot from Reiral.
is there any way to unroot for bell users yet?
i know with us users, you can flash the stock rom...

What root method did you use? There should be an unroot method in the rooting folder (or whatever) when you rooted. If you used Gladiroot then post in that thread and have ririal help you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016060

Yea, ririal said he would add an unroot option if we wanted it.
That aside, I had to do a factory reset and it unrooted my atrix bell... of course an option in the gladroot script without needing factory reset to unroot would be great regardless

hi everyone, i'm new on this forum but i know what your doing in here since a year. Today i try to root my atrix from bell to gingerblur, it worked (not the frist time) i did a restore to factory default and it came back to gingerblur and worked for the frist time. now i'm trying to go back to the original version of my atrix because the internet is not working, probably because it's a rom that was done for at&t. Well i'm trying and can't go back. i did a bckup with recovery, root with gingerbreak and install gingerblur...
thank you if someone can help me if not well that's for trying
Dave
sorry for my english i'm french
After some search over internet, i set bell's apn back and everything seem to work ok, the home button is not working i don't know if it' only me. Just tell me if you are having the same issues.
Thank you
Dave

Your best bet is probably just to flash to SBF 1.83. You can root from there using Gingerbreak

I can get the update now. I was part of the ATRIX 4G Pre-Release Software Test.
Problem is that I cant get software update since my phone is rooted.
search the forum and download sbf 183.
Then open the sticky thread how to flash sbf to your phone, and use the 183 file you found .
183 on mine didn't wipe my data..
So installed a clean 142 then update then flashed 183, root etc etc, and waiting for the 3.0 gingerblur!!!!!!!!
And I think that update increased wifi reception!!!

You can try the post above, flashing 1.83 sbf. Easy to do.
Or try unroot script within Gladroot

or the new gingerbreak 1.20 !
It has unroot function.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
From my understanding, you can upgrade even if the phone's rooted as long as you don't have a custom theme or pseudo-ROM like GingerBlur or GladAtrix installed. You'll lose root though, so make sure you can re-root it.
This should be in QA bro!
Moved to proper forum...Please read before you post!
I got my phone a couple weeks ago, and been reading up on bootloaders, fastbooting, unlocking, and rooting.
it all seems kinda confusing.
so far i've used adb to get my webtop working through hdmi anywhere, and used gingerbreak to root.
well now i just updated to gingerbread with the OTA update they released yesterday, and lost root and my webtop access anywhere.
what i'm wondering is how would i go about rooting this update now?
also, how do i use fastboot? do i need to be unlocked? if so how do i unlock without bricking my phone?
basically my goal is to be rooted and have webtop access again.
i'm stock with the OTA update from yesterday.
thanks
The XDA geniuses helped me through it this morning. Step by step here.
well i got rooted using alternative methods.
now i gotta figure out how to get my webtop back

I want Gingerbread. I have a company phone and need to keep it fairly stock. I like and currently have root access. Everything I have been reading has been about Root + Unlock. I just want to update and root. Any advice?
Just flash the stock Gingerbread then re-root. There are all kinds of rooting guides available.

I have a Desire-Z and it had GB, but the forums I followed insisted that I must downgrade it to Frodo before rooting, as there is currently no way to root it in GB. So that is what I have done and I have root. Like you I want to go to GB but keeping root. I'm pretty sure there is a way, but I dont yet know how. That method is what I too am looking for. So there would need to be a way to preserve the root you've got while upgrading to GB. If upgrading causes you to lose root in GB, you wont be able to get it back without downgrading again unless someone comes up with a method that works for GB. If you find a way before me, let me know. Cheers.

The method at briefmobile has always worked for me. However, you might also want to look at swiftks' "[Updated 2-11-2012] THE BEGINNERS (N00B) GUIDE!!! N00BS LOOK HERE FOR YOUR HOW TOs" that should be pinned at the top of this forum. There is a section in it called "HOW TO ROOT YOUR DEVICE ON ANDROID 2.3.4:".
canopic, root methods vary from phone to phone. It is quite possible to root the Atrix on gingerbread. I don't know anything about the Desire-Z though.
Should i root XTZ or not?
I search few threads with rooting XTZ but seems every method has some issues, for example rebooting after mounting system / deleting app...
What's the best working method to root WITHOUT ANY issue?

ask yourself a question, WHY should i root my XTZ...???
some of us want to root their devices but in reality they are not using the privilege of being rooted. it makes no sense.
rooting is safe provided you know how to backup and restore your firmware if anything goes wrong during/after the process.
and if you are rooted be careful with the app and files inside the /system. and be careful with the apps (for rooted devices that requires rooted devices) you'll installed.

I don't know if the issue appears on every method of rooting and every stock rom but it definitely appeared for me, stock US wifi version 32 GB
Here is the solution to solve the rebooting when remounting issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42914126&postcount=23
After I applied this fix, root access works perfectly for me, and I even used Vodoo OTA Rootkeeper and my root survived the upgrade!
Good luck!

I bet there's something else.
By far i heard of: Mounting reboot, NFC bug, Unclock bootloader status...

I dont know why all these comments leave you on the road to ruin... Cause not once did I see any one ask what model you have or what your current version of android you are running on it.
I have the US version SGP312 32GB WiFi only version build 10.3.1.C.0.136... (Android version 4.2.2) rooted and working fine with no hiccups.
Keep in mind I did update it first from the box.
Here is the link if you need it:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428830
For the record, I can confirm that my NFC works just fine after root. Just beamed a few videos from my phone to the tablet without a even a hiccup.
(FYI the NFC chip is located right under the Xperia logo on the back)
