Im getting an Atrix tomorrow nothing has been done to it should i update the software on phone and then root or vice versa? Can i do all this without an unlocked bootloader? Im not looking to flash any roms or CWM.
You can root it without unlocking

And i can overclock too meaning set cpu like no frills to 400`s min to 1.00 max for a little more speed?

It might be possible, but from what i've seen thats a kernel related issue. To flash a new kernel, you need to unlock.
May i ask why you don't want to unlock?

Well if its rooted it should be able to do no frills and adjust cpu. Thats really all i want to do

Yes, but you can't overclock the stock kernel. just underclock it
Then what is the deal with people that rooted and not unlocked and flash recovery and roms from rom manager?

Its an exploited weakness in the system that rom manager uses. Its like the A2, and in my side job device, the DX, bootstrap can be used. I'm not sure if there's an official bootstrap for the 4G though. But like i said, it gets into the system and exploits a weakness and installs a new recovery. You then reboot into recovery from rom manager to install a custom rom

Ty what i meant is cant i just root from one click root and then install CWM from Rom manager.without unlocking bootloader?

I don't see why not. I've never done it like that with the 4G, but it should be possible
Sent from my DROIDX using xda app-developers app
That is impossible. Where did you see that?
Maybe you need to do more research.
The HD can so shouldnt this be able to? Also i think i could root this and no frills on this and set min in the 400`s and max 1.0 of course. Is this possible without BL
Don't compare. Atrix was/is an experiment from motorola. It has very unique things that atrix 2 and atrix hd don't have.
Edit: again, you can do whatever you want with stock kernel, except overclocking it.

hi guys
i'm just wondering what would be the true benefit of an unlocked bootloader, since we can still use the same roms using cobrato's method?
while i want to try it, it seems that the x10's unlocked bootloader still have limitations ie kernels need to flashed and also irreversible.
are there much tangible benefits, ie better performance?
thanks
I just love the boot screen of custom kernel ;D

hi jiawei,
thanks for getting back to me, but when you say custom kernel smoother than stock, do you mean just any? or custom kernels with an unlocked bootloader?
thanks

my friend wants me to root his atrix 4g which is running android version 2.3.6 stock. And his phone has never been rooted and the bootloader is still locked. I know that I would have to unlock the bootloader. But how would I go about rooting it after I've unlocked bootloader? please someone help
Ps. Already have moto drivers installed because I have a moto xoom

If you are gonna unlock the bootloader, then you would probably be looking to load a custom ROM. That's really the only reason for unlocking the BL.
After your BL is unlocked, many custom ROMs (like CM7) come with root privileges already...

Yes im planning to flash a custom rom. So I could just unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, and then flash a custom rom that is pre-rooted?
Because that's what I did when I rooted my xoom.

i just got a warranty replacement, and it had 2.3.6 on it.
i had to do alot of research. they have a rooting guide via adb on the atrixforum website
and the automatic bootloader unlock in the atrix development thread in xda works.
due note that alot of the NEW atrix's with 2.3.6 dont have the ability to flash sbf, which means the bootloader is unable to be unlocked. Mine worked, so i might have just been lucky

If you go custom ROM, then ya Root is usually built in. CM7 I know has it...

I wonder why Motorola would do such a thing unless they had some sort of contract agreement with the carriers?
All I know is when the BL code leaked, Motorola scrambled insanely fast to try and cover that up, but it was too late. Truth be told, if the BL code never got leaked I would have sold my phone a long time ago. IDK, for me personally I'm probably gonna make it a personal requirement for all my future phones to have BL unlocked before purchasing...

What are the pro's and con's of rooting the atrix ?
hi ^^
is there a way to perform a HDMI mirror with a lapdock but on a Atrix with an unlockable bootloader (means no other ROMs..)
I wouldn't mind if I had to disable webtop (but don't want to delete it).
I'd like to play games,watch movies etc. on it but in webtop the Atrix is too slow
Edit: Bootloder is LOCKED , no custom ROMs for me

Try Cynogenmod stable Rom its got mirroring option enable it and you can see your phone through LCD TV I do the same for games.

As I already wrote, I have an unlockable bootloader : can't flash custon ROMs..

you mean you have an LOCKED bootloader, an unlocked bootloader would allow you to flash a custom rom.
Anyway, there's a post somwhere in the forums which discuss how to enable hdmi..mirroring on any rom... im on my..phone so i can't find it right now

No guys, he has an Unlockable bootloader (that can't be unlocked), a lot of people got phones which can't be unlocked from Motorola since some months ago.
Don't know how to help you there, buddy

yes, sorry if I didn´t write it right, my bootloader is LOCKED and I can´t unlock it (newer Atrix)
it would be nice if someone could post that thread
edit: if you mean this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472382 then I think it won´t work because it´s for Wet Dream and DarkSide
actually, i was reffering to the parent thread, this one

You can try unzipping the .zip and copying the files manually whilst remembering to back up any replaced files. I can't offer any promises though as I haven't taken a look at any of the files. Plus, as stated in the thread, instabilities can happen when flashing the zip so make sure you can recover any changes you make. Not having cmw is a *****...

If there a different govs in the stock kernel yes... and tegrak (paid version) you can actually overclock the stock kernel although I wouldn't recommend it....
Thanks, just sorting my mum's U out, but didn't wanna unlock the bootloader. Root is enough

Sorry if it's a duplicate but can the bootloader be unlocked on the xt1528?? Ordered one, won't be here till Thursday.
Sorry for the tittle error, can't change it

Temp root via Kingroot, but you don't get /system write access. No perm root, no full root, no ROMs, no bootloader unlock, etc

I noticed something under Developer Options, *OEM Unlocking* Does that mean in the future Motorola will allow it?? I wish because with stock rom, it doesn't have much ram available. Well either way my sister will be happy, lol. Again thanx for your replies.

Motorola does allow it. VZW and ATT are the reason their versions are locked down. Sprint/TMo/USCellular/international are all unlockable via moto.
