...huh. That doesn't even make sense.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nekrosoft13:
that was with the latest file you uploaded
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Click the find me on IRC link in the first post and connect. I can help you there and walk you through some troubleshooting.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] spinzz:
It worked after the new download. The install of the new update finished and gave me the Android with Exclamation Logo. Flashed 1.2.6 just to make sure and same thing again...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tl_bull:
works now thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bleuiko:
This worked beautifully after I ran the new file. No error at all. Well scripted!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] spinzz:
Hmm just noticed... Does it matter if I have the webtop mod? Brother just told me he did it on my phone...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
I'm on 1.2.6, I've previously ran adeo and aroot scripts. My question is after I do the sbf, I assume I loose root and will have to run the aroot script again?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
I haven't seen this error myself, but you're not the only one who gets it. I honestly have no idea what would be causing that. Reboot your PC, reboot your phone, disable/reenable USB debugging, try again.

I've updated the script to v4 (same download link in first post) which MIGHT help with this issue.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
I have the GladiAtrix2 1.57 ROM installed in this other Atrix I'm selling to someone.

I had a problem with a motoblur error and I read that the only way is to reset to factory settings.

I did that since I also wanted to wipe my data from the phone, Today I noticed the superuser icon is gone.

What to do?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Try re-downloading from market.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TheScPCrew:
I have AT&T Atrix build number OLYFR_U4_1.5.7 ...new to rooting a non-rooted device. Use to have an HTC Tilt 2 that was rooted to Android on an SD card, but this type of stuff is all new to me. I also want to be able to "unroot" the device if I do "root" it because it IS a company phone and I don't want to mess anything up. At the same time, I want to be able to install applications that aren't in the market and be able to restore my titanium backup file that I have saved on my old Tilt 2 SD card. If anybody could give me a step by step instruction, that'd be great. I went to the 2nd set of instructions on the first page but I didn't match any of those build numbers....so...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Well since you are already on 1.57 you need to flash the 1.26 sbf first (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991072), and then use the instructions from the OP in this thread.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] das8nt:
If you're getting the "Unable to chmod psneuter..." error try unzipping the files again to a new folder named gladroot. Your new folder's path would then be C:\gladroot\

If you have unzipped the files loose within the C:\ then other files you might have in there could be interfering. I have had quite a few users in which this solved their issue.

............

To follow up with the red screen flash issue when running afterupdate, that user reflashed to 1.26 again and ran through the process again without incident. It worked, but we're still not sure of the underlying problem from the first attempt. He had reinstalled Lookout before running afterupdate; is Lookout forceful enough to block the script over ADB?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Paschalis:
it will be an update to root instantly from 1.57? with out flashing back?

i have 1.57 not rooted too..

and if i root, i can regularly install all the upcoming updates from motorola right?

I'm afraid to flash back..and then root.

a possible brick would be permanent ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
What????? To have root on 1.57, you MUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS IN THE OP OF THIS THREAD. That requires you to first flash 1.26 sbf. Any possible future updates from motorola will most likely unroot your phone, so you will have to wait till a new root process is discovered to update... just like the process in this thread was discovered.

Your afraid to flash back? Why? flashing back is how people get rid of bricks, not cause them, just follow the directions.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Maximus9102:
I need some help. I did as the instructions said. I flashed back to 1.26, then started to run gladroot, but says adb device not detected. Could someone help? The phone shows itself as being connected and I can see it in Windows 7.

Thanx!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
open cmd prompt, and type: "cd c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" [enter]

Then, type: "adb devices" [enter]... it should detect your device.

That Work?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Maximus9102:
It couldn't find that destination.

I tried superoneclick though and it told me I had a temp root. I dled aroot and unrooted the phone. I'm gonna try it again though. Do you think that was the problem?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Do you have sdk tools installed?

And you should not use super one click. The before.bat will root for you... at the very least use aRoot.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Maximus9102:
yeah I dled aroot. I'm installed sdk tools now, figured that was the problem :)

thanx!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Try the cmd prompt cmds again.. see if they work now
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Maximus9102:
doesn't seem to want to work still. I installed sdk into C:\android (instead of android-sdk-windows, hope that's ok) and went to cmd, typed in cd c:\android\platform-tools

It says "android\platform-tools" is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batchfile"
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Baction:
success

Thanks, just finished the process without problems.

The only hiccup I had was that my device wasn't immediately recognized by the script, or by adb by itself. I fiddled with USB modes on the phone and unplugged/replugged, and it fixed itself. So I would say setting the USB mode to none is not so much good practice as it is absolutely required. And you should reset that connection, so to speak, before starting.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Maximus9102:
Swiftks: finally got it working. It shows TA2070305A device. Is that my phone?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] climo:
Flash sbf 1.57 instead of OTA

My system update option is greyed out so i cant download the 1.57 update. Can i just use RSD to flash the sbf 1.57 then proceed with the rest of the guide, or does it have to be the OTA 1.57?

Im currently roaming overseas maybe this is why my update option is greyed out? Tried different methods to activate the option but no go.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Briman1001:
I have atrix and this worked. Questions though.

I tried this several times and could not make it work until I figured out how to set the USB connection to none and then it worked fine. I am able to sideload apps and also able to tether so thanks. I do wonder though as I am still new to the android platform from iphone about the superuser. I think my phone is rooted from this process in this thread, but when I try to use titanium backup it says it cannot get root. From reading through the posts the only thing I can think of is maybe I do not have SDK tools on my laptop? it seems everything worked just like the screen shots though. How to know If I really have root and it is not just this app giving me an error. Is there a surefire way to know if you have root? Thanks. I have lurked the last week since I got my phone and appreciate any help.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lurchbyrep:
Unfortunately, 1.5.7 is over AT&T air only. Nor can you SBF 1.5.7 then proceed to root, since the root has to be maintained through the 1.5.7 update, whereas the SBF would erase all previous data. Sorry.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lurchbyrep:
I don't know what kind of glitch you could have with Titanium Backup. However, if you want another test, you could download Root Explorer. You could not browse folders outside of /mnt (where the user sd storage lies) unless you had root access. Besides, any root program should either prompt for superuser permissions at startup, or else notify you that it has obtained superuser permissions.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lurchbyrep:
And no, you certainly don't need the whole SDK for this. All necessary tools are already included in the downloadable package.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] farrakon:
I followed everything step by step veeery carefully and I received NO errors! THANK YOU!! Did all in 30 mins and i did Flash my device back to 4.1.26 to do this since I had updated previously. Everything went smooth. No wifi problems after flashing... I did do a factory restore tho before flashing back.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Paschalis:
"unable to connect a device over adb."

i had this problem.

i disconected/connected usb several times.

added removed usb debug several times.

and finally worked!! :)

unlocked Sim att atrix, flashed back, rooted, updated, and rooted again Successfully!!! :))) :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
There seems to be a ton of people getting this error, and switching USB debugging seems to fix it. Added info to first post about it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Maximus9102:
I tried it around 10 times and it still doesn't work. Gladroot always stays "C:\gladroot\adb.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Then the general unable to detect a device over adb :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Briman1001:
So I do not have root it appears.

I can sideload apps and superuser is installed. The apn for internet was also installed. If I flash back and try again will I lose all my settings and contacts And Apps? How should I proceed? Also too tether what is the proper way too do this and not get caught?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] farrakon:
Do you have Android SDK installed to obtain adb and the necessary phone drivers?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] r1ckyb0nd:
Can someone post a good link to the root script for att 1.26 to 1.57.

The one in the first post goes to goo.gl/jhijc.

thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
That link is fine just click it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Briman1001:
Is this directed at me? Can you give a link to the SDK? I think that is the only thing I did not install. Again if I do revert back to 1.26 and use this method again will I lose everything on the phone or will it only affect the firmware? I have read so many things about the tethering that If someone can direct me to the current best way to do it I would appreciate it. Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Maximus9102:
Yeah I have all of that installed and reinstalled and it doesn't show adb in device manager or recognize adb devices. Maybe I'm cursed lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Alkaizer Lord:
Ok so I flashed back to 1.26 but when i try to run GladRoot.bat located in C:/GladRoot it says "unable to detect a device over adb." trying to update to 1.57 with root so can install GingerBlur any ideas for help would be awsome.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Have usb debugging enabled, usb connection set to none, and sdk tools installed?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Alkaizer Lord:
SDK tools? I did everything else just not sure what you mean by SDK tools.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Nevermind, you shouldn't need it since adb.exe is included in GladRoot.

Try this, open a cmd prompt and type: "cd c:\[insert whatever folder path to where you unziped Gladroot]" [enter]

Then try: "adb devices" [enter]

See if it recognizes your device.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Alkaizer Lord:

C:\Users\Alkaizer>cd c:\GladRoot

c:\GladRoot>adb devices

List of devices attached

TA20706NM4 device

c:\GladRoot>

It detected the device ill try again and see what happens

Yup it worked this time, idk what went wrong last
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Chubbs9327:
So will this work if i am already rooted on 1.26? Or do i need to backup and put a fresh SBF flash of 1.2.6. on it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Probably just needed to recognize your device... even though you were plugged into the pc, adb does not always recognize the device right away, especially the first time you try running it after truing on your pc... glad you got it to work though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Alkaizer Lord:
Ok so once I flashed the device ADB was able to locate my device so I ran GladRoot.bat and everything went smoothly, it asked if I was going to update to 1.57 I said yes, also installed sideloading and tethering. Once it said to update the device I did so. Now that im on 1.57 ADB wont recognize my device for the afterupdate.bat file

*UPDATE* had to rest debugging a couple of time but finally got it to work
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
unplug phone from pc, make sure debugging is still on, and usb set to none, restart the phone, connect back into pc, run the adb devices in cmd prompt again like before, and then try the after.bat... sometimes, you really just need to try the after.bat a second time.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] droidfoshizzle:
thanks mate! easy as pie. process worked flawlessly

don't get how so many issues are posted on this thread. the instructions and process couldn't be more straight forward.

note: was on stock with superoneclick. didn't flash back to stock, just ran the gladroot.bat and fixed the superoneclick mess like it says on instructions
[Atrix 4G Android Development] droidfoshizzle:
actually upon reboot, i get a force close message about a com.authentec something message? know what that is? is that something to do with the tethering?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Maximus9102:
Wooo finally did it, but that was pretty grooling lol. I had to system restore to just before I got the phone and then reinstalled the phone on my machine. Ran glad through cmd and it detected my phone. Ran the root and update and now everything works on the 5.7 update :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cheetah2k:
Just a quick question.

I installed this root method on my Bell Atrix and it worked a treat. However I just did a factory reset to start a fresh (as some software I loaded screwed with my contacts).

Superuser has disappeared. Does this mean the root doesn't stick and is wiped upon factory reset??

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JiminSD:
Run su and whoami in terminal to see if you still have root
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cheetah2k:
Just loaded superuser and setcpu and yep, still rooted.

So, will being rooted affect any future OTA updates?? :confused:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live_free:
I just did this, I have superuser and 1.57. But now it says I have a damaged SD card. That I need to reformat it, what happened?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
I apologize for my earlier post, I meant that after a factory reset you just need to reload Superuser.apk (adb install superuser.apk) and you'll have root back.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Which SD card? External or internal? Nothing in my script should cause that to happen, I'm not even touching the SD card.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live_free:
The external SD card. I accidentally closed out and somehow opened two windows. I reformatted it and everything seems fine.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] climo:
Im unable to download the ota update since my option is greyed out. Can we use the 1.57 sbf to upgrade to 1.57 then continue with the after update bat? Or does it have to be the ota? I have no other way to get 1.57 right now. Too bad there is no update.zip package.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live_free:
I decided to redo everything since something messed up. Now when I go to apply afterupdate.bat it says unable to find the device over adb. Even if I run with admin. Help???!

Debugging is on.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Negative, Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.

You can't SBF to 1.57, or I'd just have everyone do that instead of this ;) The OTA update is the only way you'll be able to retain root to 1.57. Not sure what you mean by the option being grayed out, just go to Settings -> About phone -> System updates

Read the first post for troubleshooting help.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] navalynt:
Every time I get to the point where I need to update from 4.1.26 to 4.1.57 and I tap to start the download for the update I get an error "An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later."

Is that on the other end with the OTA server?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] climo:
Darn, was hoping I could use this method. On my phone when I go to about phone, the system updates button is greyed out not allowing me to select it. I'm roaming on another network abroad would that be the problem? I have wifi but have data roaming off.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Ah yes, that would certainly be the problem. As far as I know, the update is ONLY available on AT&T's network right now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] climo:
That what I thought. :mad: Looks like I'm stuck on 1.26 for now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] procdoc67:
I flashed back to 1.26 and successfully completed the Gladroot.bat process. I now however cannot update to 1.57. Get error "Check for update was not available at this time. Try again later" Please help...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Don't know if it helps but I'm also abroad with a sim-unlocked phone; I got tired of all the reminders about updating. Maybe you should try turning on the roaming, check for an update & then turn the wifi back on for the download, that could work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Bakedbread:
mm, i dont think that's true...

i DONT have (unchecked) data roaming on and i'm using an unlocked AT&T atrix right now overseas

I was able to do the system update to 1.57 no problem (phone came with 1.26)

Try turning on Wifi first because the OTA update requires a wifi connection.

It may be greyed out because you're still using 2G/3G data
[Atrix 4G Android Development] climo:
I'm still using my Att sim not unlocked yet. I tried this before to see if I could trigger the update but nothing. Just tried it again...enabling all 3 data deliveries and now the system update is available!! I wonder why I need to enable data roaming for it to show up? hmm....will try to update in the am. GingerBlur here I come!!:D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Festaman:
I am having the same issue I cannot update as well getting "Check for update was not availbie at this time."
[Atrix 4G Android Development] alfiekwong:
Hi, Im a new comer with Atix and one question:

I'm already on 1.57 and do not have root, I MUST flash back to 1.26 for this to work <<< I'm using my Atrix in Hong Kong and I think my one is unlocked so that I can use HK sim card. I want to ask if I flash back to 1.26, will my Atrix sim lock again ?

Thanks a lot.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MaluNoPeleke:
Can you please tell me what I could do get the changes from GladiAtrix2 v3 "Fixed issues with tethering on non-AT&T carriers" without all the other extras (I already have Gingerblur installed)?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Disabled mot.entitelement_check in local.prop.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hazzz:
the same doubt
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
As far as I know, flashing an SBF will not remove the unlock on the phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MaluNoPeleke:
Do you mean

ro.mot.entitlement_check=false

in the /system/build.prop ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Yes but put it in /data/local.prop
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hazzz:
I'm on 1.57 and have no root, my question is.

GladRoot v4 can be used on my phone?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
No, you need to flash 1.26 sbf first.... wow!! this was in the OP! You're kidding right?????
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TheScPCrew:
So I successfully rooted my Atrix phone to 1.57 and was able to use Titanium Backup to restore the settings I had on my old phone.

Problem is...

My text messaging doesn't seem to be working. None of the messages are showing up in the "inbox" ...I think this might be because when I flashed, it skipped over the Motoblur setup maybe? Anybody know how to run that setup...

I don't know if that's the issue or not, but when I go to what use to be the "text message" icon, the inbox...there's a orange circle that just spins and spins as if it's trying to load something, but never can.

Now I can still get texts. They're still coming thru, I hear and I see them when they first pop up in notification...after that, they literally disappear...I don't get it..

Also...how do I get the old Atrix keyboard back that rotated with the screen. I got the standard android keyboard, I also have ADW launcher loaded up as default home launcher, but my phone's not wanting to rotate now...I miss my big keyboard...

ANOTHER ISSUE. When I try to hook my Atrix up to the laptop now, it's not wanting to use the Data 3g-4g speeds to connect to the internet. It works on WiFi, but I use to be able to use 3g-4g when wifi wasn't available...now it seems I can't...any idea on how to change that too?

If any of y'all can help just solve one of those, it'd help a lot! Thanks for the root! :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] HungryEel:
does the allowed access need to be on super user after Successful update to 1.5.7

I followed the instructions and have rooted to 1.5.7 but was wondering if i need to keep that "allow" item in super users
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
You probably restored system apps with TiBu. You CAN NOT restore system settings with TiBu, it causes a multitude of issues. ONLY restore user apps and settings.

Nope, once you're rooted you can go into superuser and delete anything that says "Unknown". Those are the shell commands that we needed to run, and deleting them won't hurt anything. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TheScPCrew:
:eek: I think I might have on accident. Would I be able to reflash back to 1.26, update to 1.57 and get the original system settings back?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Just do a factory reset, then adb install superuser.apk
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TheScPCrew:
I would I adb install superuser.apk?

Sorry I'm a noob :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Apocalypse487:
I have a question, if i change the settings to tether my atrix, will att find a way to charge me tethering? I have unlimited data.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] brunnogama:
Sorry, I´m noob and I´m lost..

What difference between Gingerblur and Gladroot?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Well you need to do the GladRoot process to be able to install Gingerblur. GladRoot just retains the root when updating from 1.26 to the OTA update 1.57. You have to be rooted if you want to be able to almost any theme/rom on your phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] grrrumble:
Having issues unzipping 1.26

Will this work from1.52? Have tried IE, Firefox, & Safari, but all of them give me a "data error - possible wrong password" message in winzip when I try to unzip.

I had the root working with superoneclick prior to 1.57 update on AT&T. Stupidly did the update before getting on forums & been unrooted since.

Gladroot unzipped just fine
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
No, just flash back to 1.26 to be safe.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Edprigar:
Is there any problem if I run the second set of instructions to remain in 1.26 for a while and then in the future I run the first set of instructions to update to 1.57?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Well yeah... if you run just the before.bat, then your root will be in "storage" and not available (right ?).... if you want to stay on 1.26 just use aRoot to root, and then com use GladRoot whenever you want to update. But if you do any mods/hacks between now and then, you will have to flash 1.26 again so that you will be able to do the OTA update.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Minor update to 4.1, fixed a few aesthetic issues.
