Yes please do, after all your theme was my inspiration. feel free to use them in your theme if you'd like as well.

I actually think im going to redo the hole set and go for a more matte light blue like the notification icons in your theme. then they would look great on the matted blues theme as well.

ill work on it tonight if i have time

i already started ripping icons from some of the more popular apps so i can theme those as well. but again i dont have a ton of time for this stuff.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] benshtc:
you flash these through recovery correct
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ldc2335:
Nope. You add them to your home screen with better cut, desktop visualizer, or similar apps.

That way you can, for example, use handcent or go sms with a stock Android icon.

Hope this makes sense.

I'm using the T-Mobile Theme Engine on my Droid 1 running Liquid Gingerbread 1.42. I apply the theme NTSense and everything goes well until I restart my phone, and then the notification background turns white instead of transparent black. This happens with any of the themes I try and the only way I have found to fix it is to apply the stock theme, restart, and apply the theme I want again. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vigneshd:
I love you guys lol!

So will this method (or the idea behind it) work for future updates (like the supposed ones for HSUPA, voice quality and one day eventually maybe gingerbread?)

Or do we have no idea about those?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PixoNova:
I would assume so, unless Moto closes this hole? Not sure if this is a root exploit like psneuter or not.

Also flashing my phone 1.2.6 and will attempt this, will post back my results :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
So do this version allow sideloading?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Supish:
awww yeahhh
[Atrix 4G Android Development] shawnbuck:
Unfortunately, it is possible to close this hole, but I don't think moto is going to get it for a little while.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] s1mpd1ddy:
i assume so. i'm able to sideload
[Atrix 4G Android Development] drjim:
After failing with the previous version, I failed again with this version. I get the screen shot below every time.

I installed JDK and SDK. I did aroot. I rebooted Atrix and my PC. I tried in None and Mass Storage. The Atrix is recognized by my PC as it is listed under Computer and connects with Media Sync. I put the new retainroot folder in C:\.

Nothing works.

Have I missed something?

Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
open command prompt and type:

adb devices

What does it return?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] s0dhi:
USB debugging on?

USB mode set as None?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] drjim:
I'm in C:\Users\My Name>

Is that the directory I should be in? If not, which and how to get there (I'm not great with cmd)?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PixoNova:
So is this a hole that allows us to exploit another hole?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] drjim:
Yes to both.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] drjim:
I changed directory to C:\ in cmd and typed in adb devices. Its response: List of devices attached.

Only thing I haven't done is flash SBF (whatever that is). But I'm dling it now...along with RSDlite (whatever that is).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tdamocles:
Any ideas why I got all the way to the second command prompt with permission denied? I never got the super user prompt on my phone. Can I still put the phone in debug mode and rerun afterupdate.bat to re-root?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] shawnbuck:
This isn't quite a hole, just a little magic-show type trickery really.

Failed backup?

OK, I'm on stock 1.2.6, said yes to already rooted and yes to side load and no to tether. It starts and says pushing backupsu.sh... then retval = and backup failed to execute properly. What am I doing wrong? I have developer on and usb = none. Can't seem to get it to work...

Thanks for everything guys!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] saar73:
hey all,

after running "beforeupdate" and then downloading and installing the update, the atrix reboot and then i get yellow exclamation mark (!) and the phone stuck. i must get the battery out and power it up again.

any help please? got 1.2.6 rooted with no mods or anything like that.

thanks alot :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mr. haison:
Just a warning. . . .there was a user who posted that got root after backup failed. I ran the before update script and had that error and his post said he was still able to get root. After I ran the after update, there was no option to allow superuser option and the phone restarted automatically. I can sideload apps from the Amazon store but no-go on restoring apps from Titanium Backup.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
You can use the tool I wrote here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1017373

You have something installed on your phone that's preventing the system update. Did you uninstall any mods that you previously had installed? The uninstall could have been messy and left remnants left that are causing the update to fail. Absolutely nothing in my script in any way can cause the update to fail.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
The old version of the script had a debug line under certain conditions it would say it failed but it completed successfully. This is not true of v2. If your output doesn't look exactly like the screenshot I posted, it did NOT work. Run it again or post the error here.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Always_Jonezen:
first of all i am new to android software coming from Crapple i mean apple firmware so i wanna say thanks the script worked perfectly i just have a couple of questions what is sideloading and thether APN if i thether will at&t know or will it look like im just using alot of data and will i still have root after they do another update or will i need to run the script again and thanks for any good answers.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] saar73:
the only thing i d\l is from the market. could it be something from there (task kill, handcant sms etc)?

thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mr. haison:
this is the error I am getting
[Atrix 4G Android Development] elbarto.one:
Thanks so much. simple instructions, well written and easy to follow. No problems at all.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jack_!:
Mine actually did the exact same. I had Gladiatrix installed with tethering + sideloading.

Ran the Gladiatrix uninstaller and then tried to follow the steps on this thread.

result: Yellow exclamation mark with the android figure standing beside it.

I took out my battery and put it back again. After reboot i haven't seen the update promt once and my system says OLYFR_U4_1.2.6

Q: would installing the sbf and then trying again fix the situation?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] psymont:
I realized my mistake. Sorry for the silly question. I didn't realize that the SBF flash 1.2.6 rolled back the rom to 4.1.26. Im good now. Thanks a lot.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ssmr2t:
This!!

This is the exact same issue I am having... I wait for the superuser request and It never comes and eventually the phone reboots but im back in the same boat of no root access. :confused:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joshjam8:
I have the same problem...

Checking Device State...

Obtaining temporary root access...

Waiting for root access to kick in...

Psneuter failed to execute properly.

Press any key to continue...

:confused:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Always_Jonezen:
first you have to have been rooted before the update so after the update you should still have the Superuser app open it before you run the afterupdate.bat and you will see the superuser request it allow and thats it i hope this helps and dont forget to hit the thanks button.:D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mr. haison:
opened the su app before running the afterupdate.bat and still no go
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ssmr2t:
Mr Haison-

I went to the xchat channel and found out that my before update didnt run correctly and that is why I am getting the same error as you,

I was recommended to flash back to .6 and try again
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pavankvn:
Thanks to Ririal for this fantastic guide. I was skeptical at first but it went smoothly. I was rooted with aRoot and updated to 4.57 with out root. I went back to 1.26 and performed this method. Worked flawlessly and now I'm rooted with 1.57.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
That means beforeupdate didn't finish correctly. Did you verify it completed with no errors before updating?

Yes, you'll likely have to flash SBF back to 1.26

Try disabling/re-enabling ADB and making sure the USB Connection is set to None
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Marand55:
I'll repeat my question from the previous post: Is there any hope for me since I am unable to flash back to 4.1.26? I did all as per instructions. :confused:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CodeBrain:
I seem to be having issues with my Motorola Atrix from At&t, it just doesn't want to root anymore.

The only time it did work was the first time I did it, using the SuperOneClick method (since that was the first result I got in Google for searching on how to root an android phone) and that successfully rooted my phone.

When I tried using the first version of retainroot, beforeupdate.bat worked and I tried installing the update. The update stopped 1/3rd into the progress bar and a warning sign with an android model appeared. Removing the battery and putting it back in fixed the freeze, but I was still in 1.2.6. A new problem surfaced, it seemed that I was unrooted after the freeze.

Anytime I tried using aRoot (before this was released) it did absolutely nothing, UnRoot.bat did not do anything, it didn't even remove the Superuser app, even though it said it did. aRoot did not root the phone when using Root.bat.

Now I tried using beforeupdate.bat to root the phone, and it STILL did not root the phone. I also get this error in the console:

Pushing backupsu.sh...

./data/local/tmp/backupsu.sh: 3: cp: not found
su backup complete

So I must have done something wrong, since now I cannot root my phone anymore. The phones version still says its using 1.2.6 though...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] drock212:
EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! there is NO need to pull the battery when updating and you get the ! With the android simply tap the lower right hand corner of your screen to show your menu then simply tap reboot then ok. You might be causing some issues by simply pulling battery in the middle of the update even though it stopped a percentage of the way through.

no frozen fish.

thats a good 3 hours of completely wasted time hooray

I haven't seen an answer to the previous posteres so I thought I'd re ask: I too was stupid and ran the update to 57 thinking I could enable webtop over hdmi cable. I updated trying to fix the syncing issue I was having. I just got the phone and was planning on rooting, then hdmi and then possibly full ubuntu. Now I feel I'm screwed because I updated :(

I'm about to go off searching but can someone point me at the info as to how to flash back to the earlier version?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] saar73:
Ririal, my build is OLYFR_U4_1.2.6. maybe its the problem? should i need to flash "pure" 1.2.6 and then the new update?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Read the first post for instructions on returning to stock 1.26.

OLYFR_U4_1.2.6 is the correct build number. It sound like you have something wonky going on. Backup your phone and flash the 1.2.6 SBF, that should take care of any issues you're having at this point.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blenny-:
yes my install looked exactly like yours did the first 3 times.

3rd time as i said, i installed aroot before using the beforeupdate.bat and for that reason answered yes to the first question about root.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] HeeroJay:
Rooted with SuperOneClick back on 1.2.6. Ran v2, and updated to 4.1.57. No issues with updating, but my battery life is now kinda crappy. (Using batteryminder status bar, saying 9.5 hours at 100% with settings on low, but I turn on wifi and that number doubles). Yes, I did read the battery threads and I'm just wanting to do a full reset, to try it again.

Kind of a noob question, but if I do a factory reset, where would that put me? Would I be on 1.57 unable to root, or back to 1.2.6? Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] apolloms:
and back to H+

i don't see the option to install from unknown sources though after the update, and I followed the instructions and selected it before the update...

If you successfully kept root through the update, you can use the script in the below thread to add in sideloading and the tethering APN:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] jhisey:
The script appears to have worked perfectly as I can now sideload apps. However, when I use "adb shell" and issue an su, I get a Permission denied error?

In February

Started with Atrix

SuperOneClick rooted

Installed Webtop mod

Today

Flashed back to stock 4.1.26

Ran through update instructions for 4.1.57 w/ root and got no errors, screen shots matched, etc.

Installed Amazon App Store so assumed it worked

Trying to now install 4.1.57 Webtop mod. I can push files over with adb but when I try to su from the shell, I get Permission Denied. Thoughts?

EDIT: FIXED. I manually installed the superuser.apk package myself and when I ran su in the adb shell, I selected Allow on the popup on my phone and su now works fine. Strange since I did this the first time but oh well, it works now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Try again without aRoot and let my script do it. My script uses the same method aRoot does, so there's no need to run it.

Read the first post, please.

Unsure why this would be, I'm not touching anything related to the baseband.

Again, very odd. This is likely an issue with the update itself, and not my script.

If you're ONLY rooted, you should be fine.

If you do factory reset, you'll only need to install superuser.apk again to get root back.

It doesn't enable the checkbox in settings, it just enables it. Not sure why you'd ever want to turn it off, really.

Beforeupdate.bat installs sqlite3. Not sure why that would have failed.

You didn't allow the superuser request on your phone. Go in to superuser app and delete anything that says "Unknown." Those are all the shell scripts asking for access, so you can delete them safely.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] purple lady:
I used Titanium Backup to freeze Updater 2.2.1 to stop the annoying messages asking to update every hour, and also froze FOTA 2.2.1 so I can be sure it won't update until I am ready. Can I run the before script with these still frozen and then thaw and update to 4.1.5.7 and then run the after script? Or do I need to thaw first?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] das8nt:
Look back in your folder where you extracted the beforeupdate files. Is sqlite3 in there?

I have seen a few users lose sqlite3 to an overly aggressive Anti-Virus program; it'll quarantine it without you ever knowing. I'm afraid, if that's the case, sqlite3 never got installed by beforeupdate.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] will_y_fog:
Thanks, had previously superoneclick and after update to 4.1.57 when I tried to unroot my Atrix, I couldn´t. Followed your instructions and I´m rooted again!!

But,...... what if I want to unroot, do I have to flash back to 4.1.26 and then update to 4.1.27?

Thanks in advance.

Mine says psneuter failed to execute properly. What am I doing wrong?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] isellmidgets:
"unable to chmod psneuter"

i get "unable to chmod psneuter" when running beforeupdate.bat.

i followed every instruction perfectly. tried EVERYTHING, including doing the chmod manually, to which i get the response, as expected, "operation not permitted."

i know people are getting this issue...i've seen it posted but everyone seems to ignore it. please help!

one thing I noticed was that the chmod command in beforeupdate.bat is 6755. I tried running it as 777, but still nothing.

UPDATE: duh. changed permissions to 777 manually with root explorer. then edited beforeupdate.bat and removed the entire command to chmod psneuter. seems to have worked. I'm not familiar enough with the shell to know whether or not I screwed this up bigtime, buuuuuut we'll see, I guess.

UPDATE: no dice. why the hell not? i'm not going to bother flashing again, because the same thing will just happen again, and it's not worth it to have to click "cancel" every hour for the update.

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.

Process complete. If no errors, run the update, then run afterupdate.bat

Press any key to continue . . .

Please help...what am I missing?

OK..I fixed it...this is what I did...

Read the directions.

Read the directions again.

Read the directions a third time. If you do not understand a step, ASK before starting.

Download the script

Extract the files to C:\retainroot. Do not install anywhere else. Having it inside a folder with a space will cause the script to FAIL.

Make sure your device is 1.2.6 and is not running any mods, I recommend a fresh SBF flash of 1.2.6. Download links and installation instructions here - Then do this - Used SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse1 to root 1.2.6! after I did this I ran the instruction listed below. It worked without any problem....

Enable USB debugging (Settings -> Applications -> Development).

Connect your phone (I recommend setting USB Connection to 'None').

Run beforeupdate.bat (If you're using Windows 7, run as admin by holding down control and double-clicking).

Verify that there are no errors before updating.

Go to Settings -> About phone -> System updates

Follow the on-screen instructions. First download the update (you will need a Wi-Fi connection for this), then it will prompt you to install.

The update will reboot the device and install itself. If this part fails it's because you are not on stock 1.2.6 firmware. Start over and read the directions.

When it boots back up, verify USB debugging is still on (Settings -> Applications -> Development).

Run afterupdate.bat (If you're using Windows 7, run as admin by holding down control and double-clicking).

Make sure you allow the superuser request on your phone or it WILL fail.

All done! Enjoy your rooted Atrix on 4.1.57!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jorge_moran_jams:
A bit confused

Hi, I'm a bit confused, I read the bat file and I checked everything it does but in no point it does anything to update 1.2.6 to 1.57.

What I don't understand is the fact that in the OP it says that if I already have the OTA update I need to go back to stock in order to use this method, but if updating after using this is gonna make me lose root, what point does it have?

Or I will not lose root afterwards?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blenny-:
finally got root.

Was a very simple solution to why i was getting the "frozenfish: No such file" problem.

I was flashing the SWF with RSD lite not the OTA for 1.57. I'm guessing that was removing the effects of the breforeupdate.bat.

silly silly silly me
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
If you want to unroot just delete su from /system/bin and uninstall superuser.apk.

What is your USB connection set it? If it's not set to None it can cause issues.

Please do NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT use superoneclick. Especially with the script I'm running, it CAN CAUSE ISSUES. My script roots the phone in the EXACT. SAME. WAY. as superoneclick does, except it doesn't install a duplicate busybox. You told the script you were already rooted, and you were not, that's why it failed.

Please read the directions. Everything is explained.
