Noob here. Still i searched all over before posting. I just got i605 on 4.4.2 nd7. What i want to know is if any one can point me to a rooting method that actually worked. See i've tried ghetto and odin. But neither worked. Have they worked for anybody and if they have what did you do. Tx

My wife has a Atrix 4g that i have to send back to att. She is not into flashing roms, etc but i am so i know what I'm doing just not with this phone. I'm wanting to root it, tbu all her apps and then unroot it to send it back. Is their such a tool for this phone? I've searched the threads and did not find anything. I do not want to have to flash sbf files. I have a one click root and unroot tool for my Atrix 2 but I'm sceptical of using it on her phone. She is on the 2.3.6 update- 4.5.141. If someone could point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.

Bump.

There is a file that enables one click root/unlock.
But to get back to full stock and locked you would have to use the sbf's.
Ya i seen that. I don't think I'm going to find what i am looking for. Iv read about this phone all morning and the phone itself is a hell of a lot different than my A2. She doesn't care for a rooted phone so I'm just going make her reinstall all her apps and data herself. Thanks for the help though.

So, I've rooted my SGS3 using the excellent toolkit, and installed CWM Touch recovery. However, when the newest OTA update appeared, I decided in my wisdom to install it, and reflashed the Stock recovery and then the update. All seemed fine, until I realised that my root was gone. In hindsight, I kind of knew this would happen, but a sleepless night must have clouded my judgement.
My question: is it possible to re-root the phone with the toolkit, or any other method? I think I remember seeing somewhere that this is not recommended, but wanted to see if anyone has any tips.
Thanks,
Erik N

Where you get the info that is not recommended to reroot after OTA updates?
Just root it again using cf-root.

Normal for users to root again.

Thank you both, I'll try re-rooting. I'm not sure where I saw that advice, pretty sure it wasn't in this forum, though. XDA trumps rumours any day!

Is it really that much to ask to get an auto root? Seems that only this gnote2 on verizon we cant get an auto root/unlock. Whats the big deal??? Manual or auto??

If you didn't take the other yet there is an app that roots your phone. Can't get more auto then that.

This. I found the thread here and was rooted in five minutes. Not sure how much easier they could make it than that.

Ive tried adams unlock and root but it doesnt take.. dont know why but followed his instructions to the letter and casual doesnt root or unlock my device. I tried it with a friends note 2 on my own pc and worked but on my note nothing. What thread are you guys talking about?

there was an OTA a couple of days ago that changed the bootloader. Old method won't work on it.

Look for the exynosabuse apk (or exyno abuse). The first thread in the development section of the verizon note ii forum. It's just root though. You won't be unlocked. Also, if you got the update verizon pushed in the last few days then forget about this all together for now.

I'll be the first to say it...
I screwed up my phone entirely and I know. But that's neither here nor there at this point.
I'm really just hoping for some serious help at this point.
Thanks in advance.
I was stock ll4 baseband and attempted to run “one click"casual to root/unlock/recovery.
Somehow during this process my phone managed to root but failed to unlock or install custom recovery.
I made it back to home screen and checked for root status to verify.
This is where the bonehead mistakes come in
I then tried to install twrp manually thinking the bootloader possibly unlocked during casual. But it did not.
After trying to boot into recoveryi get a notification that I am running custom software and to return my device immediately to Verizon.
I can't get back to home screen either same message.
I attempted to revert to stock several times using droidstyle method and Odin keeps coming at sboot.bin.
Does anyone out there no wtf I did to my phone?
Please help. Thank you

There isn't a definite bootloader unlock yet, but here is a pretty good detailed tutorial.
