[Atrix 4G Android Development] DarkRyoushii:
Thanks very much for an informative post, I learnt something interesting haha also, unreleased and the atrix isn't on gingerbread yet :/

Sent from my MB860 in Australia
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lurchbyrep:
Are you in the correct directory in command prompt when you call adb devices? It seems very odd that GladRoot would return "no adb devices" while adb devices would return "not an internal or external command" (this means it cannot find adb.exe). So,

1. I would go to your gladroot directory and make sure adb is there

2. I would keep the phone connected to the computer and toggle USB debugging off, and then on again and retry the batch script (perhaps a couple of times)

3. Lastly, I would try getting into the directory under which adb is found in my command prompt and try executing adb kill-server before retrying again.

Hope that helps at all.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Haphim:
That's okay and will work, even though the phone is at 1.57? (It's rooted successfully with your script, but at 1.57)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Use GladEnabler linked in my sig below. That will work on 1.57 to enable sideloading.

4.2 update is now up, with requested unroot.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] RPK925:
So do I need to do sbf if iam already on 1.2.6 att to root? Iam a noon at android I have windows mobile for the.past couple years And don't really understand how to root android. Any help would be great. Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
If you're already on 1.26 you don't need to SBF.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] djmisi:
Just a note to let you know, there is no unroot.bat in the GladRoot.7z file...Wanna doublecheck that upload, bud?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
It's there, I just downloaded the file. Wanna doublecheck your download, bud? ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] RPK925:
Thankyou for your help with SBF. I know its the wrong thread but its seems you know.alot about android dev. So SBF is only for reflashing to stock 1.2.6. if you brick your phone or just need to reflash to stock?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Tanker Bob:
I ran this command using adb in the terminal but it did not add anything to the settings/applications screen. I even cycled the power but nothing. Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] malickie:
Quick easy question, will this also sim unlock the phone, if not does anyone have suggestions other than calling ATT to get it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] RPK925:
Hi I just rooted my Atrix from 1.2.6. Everything went fine in the install process,checked root, sideloading, custom teathering ect. I have the box where it says allow unallowed apps checked, and have the super user icon. But when I got to titanium backup it says I.don't have root. And when I go to the root checker app it says I don't have root also it says: /system/xbin/ su: no such file? Help please!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Haphim:
I already have it enabled, I was looking for the addition of the "Unknown Sources" checkbox. What's the best way to do that - still with GladEnabler?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lurchbyrep:
Did you upgrade to 1.5.7 after rooting? If so, did you run afterupdate.bat AND allow superuser when your phone screen prompted you?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
This does not unlock your phone. The only way to unlock outside calling AT&T (which is really your best bet, just say you travel internationally and need to use the phone outside the country), is to use one of the online websites that offer unlock codes. I can't and won't vouch for any, as that entire process seems shady to me ;) You'll need to do your own research on it.

I don't know what Root Check is, but it's not even looking in the right place. Open superuser app and check to make sure the apps aren't blocked by accident.

Yes, GladEnabler should add that checkbox now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Tanker Bob:
But GladEnabler did not enable that checkbox on my Atrix. I have side loading capability, but no checkbox entry on the Applications screen.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] RPK925:
What is GladEnabelr and what does it do?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PakaPakaxz:
Great guide.

Thank you very much, works great! :-)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Did you get the newest version? Try redownloading it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] YaPeL:
Chance of getting some love for the SA version? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1040339 What would you need?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Tanker Bob:
Yep, I had version 1.04, but I had to translate it over to Linux and made a mistaken assumption in the process. Your reply caused me to rethink. All is well now. I now have the checkbox. :)

Thanks again for your excellent efforts and you continued support!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mistadman:
Thanks for pointing this out! However, my scripts assumes adb is in your $PATH due to the fact the Linux binary is not included with the original Gladscript. Anyways, I made the changes since others had the same issue. Thanks!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dj13sins:
Can't believe this is not a sticky yet. People keep using messy superclick mentioned in the sticky post to unroot. Will someone put this thread in the sticky post and save new users some troubleshooting.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Tanker Bob:
Thank you for your excellent conversions. You did a very nice job structuring your bash scripts.

I always put all necessary files together in a temporary location and then execute as needed. That way I don't have to hunt for things and I'm sure that I don't start something that I don't have the stuff to complete. It also makes me think about the process in greater detail.

I found that some versions of adb that continue to float around in archives don't recognize the Atrix. I have the April 2, 2011 version from the SDK which does. I'm toying with the idea of putting together a dedicated Linux GladRoot package for rooting. It would include your scripts, the newer adb, and the common files from Riral's files. The problem is keeping it updated. Riral has been making nice changes, but I don't have time to keep parallel scripts consistently up to date. I'd also need a place to host the package.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] misterwaugh:
If anyone has problems getting ADB to recognize your phone in this version, try redownloading the .msi file in the sfb thread for the drivers. I repaired them and it finally started working.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Tanker Bob:
It takes a bit of time and disk space. First you have to download and install the basic SDK. I put under my /home directory. Then in the SDK, you select the platforms to download. The instructions are here. I downloaded several, but the latest I have is Android-11. Then adb is under ~/android-sdk-linux_x86/platforms. I copied it from there to where I keep my Android downloads so that it will be handy.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hburn:
Will root be update for the new version1.42
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Version 1.4.2 is Telestra. I don't have a bell phone to try any root methods on, as this can't be flashed to an AT&T device. I think it's hilarious how readily people (who don't even have bricked phones) just assumed it was a Bell SBF without even bothering to read the filename. :\ Unless you're bricked, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT FLASH THIS ONTO A BELL DEVICE. It's not an official Bell firmware, and you still have NO WAY of going back to stock Bell. Flash at your own risk.

EDIT: I also do not have access to any device except an AT&T Atrix, so I can't do any testing on anything but that. If someone wants to donate a phone for development work, by all means ;) Otherwise, someone else will have to take the lead on those devices. MOST of the methods should be the same, and there's no reason to assume that the root won't work (Hell, the method I'm using can be used on pretty much any Android phone at this point, it's not exclusive to the Atrix), UNLESS the exploit was patched. If that's the case, then there is NO WAY to root. So again, if you're rooted on a Bell Atrix right now, and you aren't bricked, DO NOT FLASH.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daniel.netti:
Hi, I have one Atrix from Brasil, I Want to root it, but my Version is: OLYLA_U4_0.50.0

Can I Follow the same steps in the first post?

Thank you.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Updated first post to explain the situation to non-AT&T/Bell users.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dmbrown81:
Will I be able to receive the upcoming beta update with this or do I need to be on stock and unrooted?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
If all you did was root, you should be able to receive the update. You will almost certainly LOSE root if you update, though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daniel.netti:
I cant do this test because I dont have the original stock ROM for my phone, if dont work I 'll be without cel.

Can anybody give to me a link to a stock ROM?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PixoNova:
So ririal, shawnbuck said that this method should work for future updates, and that Motorola wouldn't be able to get at it for a bit. Is this true? Or will you have to ask a beta tester to try it out?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Not sure, we'll have to wait and find out. I can't answer questions about a beta firmware that isn't even released yet :P
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JdeFalconr:
So here's my concern about this process: the instructions to flash back to 1.26 as part of rooting indicate that it can sometimes cause problems with wifi and elsewhere. I'm concerned about flashing then rooting and installing roms, etc that I wont be able to get it back to a fully-working, stock state. Yes I'm paranoid (maybe needlessly) but I don't like to do something to my phone I can't fully undo.

Nothing against the devs, who I know have put many hours into this and other Atrix software for our benefit.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Who said anything about wifi problems? I never said anything about wifi problems from flashing. Flashing back to 1.26 is perfectly safe as long as you READ THE DIRECTIONS.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JdeFalconr:
I was looking at this page:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991072

which is linked to from the instructions in the OP of this thread for users needing to flash back to 1.26. Specifically, from that page:

As flashing back to 1.26 seems to be part of the process of all of the ROMs found on XDA, not to mention the root methods, I'm hesitant for my reasons above as well as these.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Hmm. Dunno then. I've flashed my phone dozens of times and the only issues I have seen are the ones i create ;)

I also still have an extremely hard time believing that wifi issues are caused by unlocking the phone. That just makes no sense to me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JdeFalconr:
Yeah, to be honest I wasn't quite following that either. From my understanding that flashing process is just putting a stock 1.26 ROM back onto the device. Perhaps the folks having "WiFi connectivity weirdness" are also the "SIM-unlocked devices may still have WiFi problems" people.

Well if you're saying I theoretically shouldn't have any problems flashing back to a stock configuration at some future point then I'll go for it. Thanks for the help and for making some of these great tools.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] happiboi:
mines a Sim-Unlocked device i'm guessing cos it's from AT&T but i have used sims from HongKong and other places too :D.. i have had no issues with wifi at all :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tunx:
Just a quick shout out to ALL who have contributed here ... flashed SBF 1.26 and rooted to 1.57... SUPER SMOOTH (after reading entire 2 threads ofcourse) :cool:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Edprigar:
Ririal, are you going to update the screenshots that are missing?

The screenshots are very helpfull to check if the script run without problems.

Anyway, thanks for your amazing work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JamesRF:
Just wanted to say thanks for the hard work to everyone who made this posible for guys like me...Worked almost perfectly, only snag is I had to run the afterupdate script twice it didnt ask for root on my phone first time but it did the second. SWEET!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MrMickeyMoose:
thanks, second atrix rooted on update without issue.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xepter:
wow super easy to root with this method worked like a charm :D

P.S. thought i'd make my post somewhat usefull xD

i had some problems with phone being detected so i just went here

and installed recommended drivers and everything was fine

P.P.S i didnt have to reflash the SBF since i rooted same day i got it so i was on stock 1.26 why i had driver problems
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JdeFalconr:
OK I've flashed back to 1.26 and enabled USB debugging. However every time I try to set my USB connection the phone portal application starts and changes the USB connection type for me to "Phone Portal." I've tried and the root batch file fails when this happens. I'm using the USB drivers that were included with these instructions. How do I stop the phone portal application from starting so I can keep the USB connection mode in "None" in order to root?

EDIT: Miraculously by going through the driver installation application and doing a "clean then reinstall" operation that seems to have taken care of it. Go figure. Phone now rooted and I'm updating to 1.57.

EDIT 2: UGH /osh/sbin/frozenfish not found. I know I ran the gladroot and beforeupdate files as root. The /osh folder doesn't even appear on my device, nor on my computer.

EDIT 3: Ah I think I've discovered my error, I answered no to the prompt if I'm updating to 1.57. I thought that it was asking me if it wanted to install the update for me (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1019143&page=26). That really should be re-worded to "Will you be updating to..." Flashed back to 1.26, let's see if this works now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] flaystus:
Can I get a quick explanation about when to answer what to the Upgrading to from 1.26 question?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Tanker Bob:
At the end of gladroot.bat execution, you will be asked if you are upgrading to 1.57. The answer is yes unless you plan on staying on 1.26 forever (very unlikely). Answering yes will back up your root setup so that it can be restored after the update. If you don't do that, the update to 1.57 will write over your root setup and you will lose root. Running afterupdate.bat AFTER your device updates to 1.57 restores your root access.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PakaPakaxz:
Thank you very much !

Root without any problem.:D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jtsee2:
I have downloaded the latest... and my 'problem' remains...

Settings -> About phone -> System updates:

Gives me the message: "Your device is up to date! No update is necessary at this time."

FYI - I've tried this on WiFi and on 3G

Anyone else having issues not getting the update?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Yes. Webtop mod will cause the OTA update to fail.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phatboypat:
New script works perfectly. Now rooted with update.

The afterupdate.bat didn't want to run at first under USB "none" but after turning USB debugging on and off and switching to mass storage and then back to none it worked perfectly.

Thanks for your hard work! :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] spinzz:
Ugh... I hate him... Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GatorRuss:
Correct. You will have to get root again using aroot.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nick78ru:
Ok, so I have GladiAtrix rite now on 1.26, arooted over soc, webtop hack undone. Given i manage to uninstall the GA as described here (anybody have the GA backup file?):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1015452&page=2

Will it be possible to run the updated files rite over or would i still need to flash to stock and go from the very beginning? Not sure if i like the full re-flash idea...

Or would new GA version save ppl with roms like myself all the trouble of having to go back to stock?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Incorrect, this script has aRoot's method embedded in it. You shouldn't have to run anything before or after.

The backup is created when you run GladiAtrix. It should be on your /sdcard
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bleuiko:
So I have script runner's remorse...

I ran this and chose not to add the APN mod during the install because I don't tether too much and Barnacle works fine most of the time; and I don't want to lose my unlimited data if AT&T force me over to the Tethering Plan....

but now I am thinking what the heck, let's do it. How would I go about adding the APN? Should I rerun your script or use the method in the APN thread made for 1.2.6?

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nick78ru:
I know! Yet its not there :( all iget when trying to uninstall GA is this (see pic)

Am i missing something simple here????
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fRenZy-_-:
Great job!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Is your phone mounted for USB Mass Storage? If so, make sure USB Connection is set to "None."

Also go into Settings -> SD card & phone storage and make sure that internal phone storage is mounted.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] beds:
First off, THANK YOU for all the hard work!

For those of us who ran the script before it was updated to allow sideloading, etc... What do we need to do to enable these functions now? Donesn't seem like re-running the scripts is the right option.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tuxp3:
Not clear which stock version

I can't use this script since it seems like it only works to reroot if it was rooted when the version was 4.1.2.6. I had already updated to 4.1.57 before I even thought about rooting.

Maybe I'm missing something but it seems like the 'psneuter' doesn't work so nothing happens.

Please help if this should be possible.

TL;DR: running 4.1.57, can't root.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nick78ru:
Rechecked everything and still no love. Adb sees the phone when i request device list 0_o
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nick78ru:
Gonna flash back to Adeo because i found a backup file for it. Hope that works lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dereknas:
can i run the update with freezed items in titanium backup and aroot already installed?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Bakano:
True, BUT if you check out this forum, then you can flash it and go from there, but that's only if you're willing to start from scratch... =)

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
That's what it already says, so I don't really see a need to change :)

I'll throw links to the drivers in the first post for people.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] parravan:
rooting directly with 1.57

Hi

Does this mean we can root when already on 1.57?

If not, is it worth waiting till we can root from 1.57 rather than SBF to 1.26 first?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] happiboi:
But I thought in the first post it says:

I'd have assumed that would answer your question? I was on 1.57 /w no root and as long as you follow the instructions carefully, you can go back to 1.26 then back to 1.57 /w root~ Lots of people have done the successfully :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] droidfoshizzle:
so after had to do a restore from tb my home and search button stopped working as well as my lock. therefore i had to do a factory reset. now, i still see superuser and installing again tb it gave rights. so i'm assuming i still have root access? however i can't install from unknown sources. does anyone know if i can enable that? can i just run the afterupdate script again to get this back or do i have to go back to 1.26 and redo everything?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Haphim:
Is the new exploit applicable to GladRoot? Will that make it workable on 1.57? Or does that not apply here?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
new exploit is completely different than gladroot - it works in a different way than the current gladroot does.

that being said, the OP may eventually update this script and make a version that uses the new exploit.

however, in the meantime if you need to root 1.57 try reading juggernaut's thread on it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] parravan:
Saw the short post that I took out of context and thought it might save an sbf to 1.26.

Will be trying it tomorrow....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
You don't need to flash to 1.26 to root 1.57. Read the [how to] root 1.57 thread by juggernaut.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
I have no current plan to update GladRoot. It's working just fine, and it's using a hole that's much more difficult to patch than the GingerBreak exploit. We'll only be able to use that for a few updates, I reckon.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
Didn't mean to imply that you would be updating in my post, just stating that gladroot was really just a script using an exploit and that it MAY be updated with some other exploit in the future. Just to be clear.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Yeah it's fine. The new exploit is simpler for end users, and until it's patched, everyone is welcome to go ahead and use it. There's really no reason for GladRoot until that hole gets patched. The APK yields the same end result as GladRoot does. As I've mentioned before, I can't imagine it'll take longer than one or two updates for it to be patched away, though. If we need a new method, I'll start working on this again. For now, can probably assume that 4.2 is Final Release.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Haphim:
If I do a factory reset (on 1.57), will I lose root and/or sideloading/tethering?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] evenstarr:
Hi guys I followed instructions and have root and sideloading successfully but the tethering APN does not work. It says my account is not set up for tethering. Any thoughts?

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] droidfoshizzle:
you won't lose root. but you will lose sideloading and tethering. i had to do a factory reset yesterday and now i'm trying to figure out how to manually enable sideloading.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Haphim:
Well, if you don't lose root, I would imagine that GladEnabler would take care of the other stuff...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] droidfoshizzle:
hmm i did a search and didn't even pick this up. thanks! ririal is freaking awesome!
