Method 2c is what you are looking for. By the way, this is a sticky in the general forum.
1. Rooting is not firmware dependent, the method to root is almost the same across firmware
2. Installing games does not require rooting.
Thank and do you think this video here is besically the same things that ill be doing?

OP questions answered. If you need further assistance, please refer to the STICKY threads and the FAQs and the WALKTHROUGH and the STEP-BY-STEP VIDEO that shows you what to do.
Thread closed.
I know there are a thousand threads on Rooting/Unlocking and Custom ROM's for the Atrix, because I've spent the last 3 days reading every one I could find. However, most of them appear to be very dated and often conflicting. As I'm coming to the game a little late I was hoping for some assistance on how to proceed.
Here's what I have;
AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G (I bought this new under contract, kept it for 2 years, upgraded to another phone and this one has been a paperweight for the past 18 months) AT&T will give me an unlock code if I ask, but I'm a little confused by the conflicting reports on whether to do it this way or not.
It's an MB860
FW Version 4.5.141
OS Version 2.3.6
Baseband N_01.77.37P
Webtop WT-1.2.0-110_OLY-6
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
Build 4.5.141
I'd like to Unlock it so I can run a Foreign SIM card, I'd like to Root it so I can add non-approved apps, and I'd like to play with some ROM's, Redpill has some very good user reviews so I'm thinking of giving it a try but I'm not stuck on it.
Obviously don't want to brick the phone, so any advice would be appreciated, the more detailed the better
I have Windows 8.1, Mac OS X, and Windows XP-SP3 computers to work with.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
While certain threads are (or might seem) outdated and/or conflicting, there are also other threads that serve as a kind of index of the most current methods and procedures. That should help you get around. Plus there are threads and guides written especially for noobs...
Yes, the code from AT&T is the safest and simplest way to do SIM unlock. Only important point here is that the device must be running the official Moto/AT&T firmware at the time of unlock. I'm not sure what kind of "conflicting information" you came across, to my knowledge nobody who's used the code as described never had any problems.
As for rooting, regardless of the variant or firmware version of your device, the preinstall method is the one to use. By far the most universal, plus personally and generally I dislike any "automatic", "one-click" or similar methods - for me at least they are usually more trouble than they're worth.
As for playing with ROMs, you first need to unlock your BL, then install a custom recovery, and then you have a shot at ROMs. So quite a wide topic with plenty enough threads created on the subject, so no point in repeating what's already said countless times. By the time you're done with other things mentioned (SIM unlock, rooting) you should be able to find your way around.

Thanks for the quick reply. I've requested an unlock code from AT&T, should be good to go in 48 hours.
In the mean time, is it important that I have it unlocked before I root, or will it matter?
Update
I realize this may seem to be off-topic but I'm not asking for assistance with this newest update, I'm only using the experience to help clarify my concerns about the Atrix.
Waiting for my requisite 24 hours before unlocking the SIM on my Moto Atrix. While I'm waiting i decided to gain a little experience by rooting a Galaxy S5570 and installing a custom Rom.
Like the Atrix there are dozens if not hundreds of threads, videos, tutorials etc for how to accomplish this. I found the most recent one I could that seemed to be a complete tutorial and it was dated from January of this year (much newer than any threads I've found on the Atrix BTW)
Rooting went fine. Confirmed with a Root Test app.
Loaded a CWM 6.0.4.5 recovery package as instructed and ended up bricking the phone. By all accounts this tutorial was for the exact model of phone with the exact same FW and Android version.
This is no big loss as it was a cheap phone that I wasn't using anyway, but it certainly opened my eyes to the risks involved in attempting this procedure on the more costly Atrix.
I'd really appreciate if anyone could point me in the direction of a current procedure for Rooting, Unlocking the Bootloader and installing a custom ROM on the Atrix with the specs from my Original Post. If any of you have the same phone and had success following a particular procedure I would greatly appreciate some links.
I know how forums work, and I know there are always the guys that reply RTFM to every noobs questions, as someone with technical skills in other areas I can generally tell the difference between someone who just doesn't want to bother doing the Due Diligence and someone who is struggling to sort through the myriad solutions to find the one that's right. I really don't want to brick this phone so any pointed advice would be greatly appreciated.

Meanwhile you have ROMs all over the place here in the Atrix 4G section of xda that you are not going to go download, rather you are going to request a ROM for the phone instead. Head over to the development section and download a ROM instead of requesting the necessary resources that are already available to you.

Hello,
Please, I have a Samsung "J1" SM-J100M (j1ltevj) device that I really would like to root, I looked many places and several methods to root, although I followed the instructions I had no success in rooting it.
I have already had some help from R_a_z_v_a_nin another topic I made in the wrong place, and he advised me to post here.
I have also tried the methods in the XDA Root Directory section and no success either.
Here are my device Debug Infos from CPU-Z: htt ps://drive.google.c om/file/d/0B9yARNL7AAjvalExSi1EUEhKamM/view?usp=sharing
(I'm sorry about the spaces, but I can't post links yet)
Please forgive me for being a newbie in rooting and coding, but I will do my best to provide all the informations you ask me for.
Could anyone help me please?
Thanks in advance.
Hi I would also like to know how to root this device.
Im looking for it also... No sucess until now.... sad...
Did someone find something?
Hi, first of all I apologize if this kind of thread is against the rules.
I just made my account here and I want to learn more about rooting, custom firmwares and stuff. I was interested in formatting my phone, and install Android Lollipop (newest version, which is 5.1.1 I think), but searching through the threads in this forum is leaving me confused. Could anyone please point me to the best tutorials on how to root my S3, and how to install Android Lollipop 5.1.1?
Again, I apologize for my noobish brain. I literally just entered into the world of phone rooting xD
Thank you for your time.
Hi all,
Thank you for taking time to read my post. I am new to this world of cellphonespeak. Maybe this is a simple question with an easy answer. I just obtained an LG Aristo 2. I am trying to know how to remove all of the bloatware that MetroPCS has installed with the phone> Im not with Metro, I use an independent network, but I don't need the unnecessary apps on the phone. I have read through various suggestions but they have not worked up to now. Its running on an Android 7.1.2, if that is helpful. Also if I am posting in the wrong forum, please forgive my ignorance.
I appreciate any advice or suggestions.
Deepest Gratitude,

Root your phone with Magisk, then install Titanium Backup.
You can uninstall bloatware using Titanium Backup.

I have a perfect suggestion. If you've found out already how to Root your phone and you've installed TWRP then download and install these two links below.
