Hey guys, im sure theres a thread about this already and please dont pick on me, i just cant find it for the love of me, plus my boss is on my ass about computer time.
can someone please point me in the direction of unlocking the bootloader on a atrix that came with the official 2.3.4 update. i really hate blur and i want to install a custom rom, i have superuser and cwm installed i just need to unlock the bootloader
This thread is how I did it. Pretty painless. Make sure you read the thread before you do it though. The OTA update will soft brick your phone before you issue the unlock command. Be sure to thank the original poster.

all set thanks for your help
Hello all.
Just had a quick question that I hope someone might be able to help me with.
I am thinking of rooting my prime to play with a custom rom or two.
From what I read about rooting it seems like it is just pushing files based on a tutorial I saw.
Does the tablet actually need to be unlocked to root the tablet and install a custom rom or can I just follow that method without unlocking it?
Also if I decide to go back to stock can I flash a image from Asus to make that happen like you can with Odin on Samsung devices?
Thank you in advance and for your time.
Hello. I am not very familiar with flashing and rooting stuff, so I would like some help (I do not want to brick my phone)
I have the single sim, and nougat 7 installed. So. I have already unlocked my bootloader (and lost my DRM keys, did not backup).
Question 1: There is a thread on how to root it and as far as I understand I need to roll back to android 6, and flash the .img kernel and then it's rooted? The instructions are very unclear, and badly written. Is this the way to root or I'm wrong? There is no root for android 7 yet, right?
Question 2: Is there a way to bring back the lost DRM features of the camera and the x-reality engine? How? I had found a thread saying how to do it some time ago but I've lost it.
I have read a lot of threads but it's not simple enough for me to understand. Any help would make me very happy
I have a smartron tphone model t5511 and I've tried almost everything to root but with no luck yet.
Is possible that someone here know how and please can he share it with.
When I bought it the first thing came to my mind is in installing a custom ROM but sadly no ROM for it so now my aim is for rooting it.
Have you used Kingoroot?
What's your Android version?
Have you unlocked your bootloader?
Best of luck
Not even able to unlock bootloader
After doing little digging in , found few things about unlocking bootloader , rooting and flashing some root apps.. but our beloved device seems to be under the shackles of oem. Rooting and installing system apps comes with a price, u cannot update if there is any system updates from oem.
Created this thread hoping that someone can find some way of breaking these shackles. Anyone who knows a way of rooting and installing system apps without breaking system updates from oem, please share your ideas here.. I've been a long time flashaholic and this is what I used to do with my previous phone which is OnePlus one.
Unlock bootloader, root, install few root apps that I like such as viper 4 android. And when there is new ota updates from oem I'll flash stock firmware which will remove root so that I can update the phone with oem ota, after that I'll root again..
This seems to be impossible here.. if someone have some ideas please share..
Ps. If someone feels like this thread is unnecessary pls feel free to do the needful. Thanks.

Tried this myself and found that the fastboot for our device doesn't recognise the bootloader unlocking fastboot commands.. also found in few posts that earlier we were able to unlock bootloader in some old firmware and after that it was disabled by hmd.. I didn't want to go to some old firmware to do this, need to find a way to do this from Android 10. will keep trying to find more and update here.. I think we a need to wait till hmd decides to allow is to unlock bootloader.. meanwhile if someone else found something pls so share here.. thanks.

Definitely legit, he is the main developer for our device.
You are correct on the bootloader.
You need to be on earlier Android 9.0 firmware, I think Ver. 331 (not positive) or earlier. To be able to unlock bootloader. If you can figure a way to downgrade, then you can do it.
That is the current roadblock.
Once you have the bootloader unlocked it will stay unlocked.
You can then accept updates and or flash custom ROMs as you wish.
Can't offer a fix, but hope the information helps.
Now we don't need for downgrading to Android 9. XDA Senior @singhnsk has discovered a way to unlock the bootloader while on Android 10. You can reach him for remote unlock method (paid). It takes only around 15 mins.
Edit: Now the devs has released an unlocking method for Nokia 7.2 & 6.2 which is completely free and can be done by yourself!
