to esu matrix

Sounds like it worked, if the boot screen says unlocked im pretty sure it is. Mine did the same thing with the root access once unlocked it it said it wasnt rooted but it was. What i did was downloaded super one click on my computer and tryed to re-root it again then super one click told me "root access already granted" or something like that, and that seemed to clear whatever hiccup is there.
[Atrix 4G General] eSu.Matix:
You sure it works for 2.3.4? I mean is it possible to hard brick my phone by using SuperOneClick ?

---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

This is quoted from other Android/Atrix forum

"It doesn't exactly work for all phones, and it creates serious issues for some phones. Such as the Moto Atrix, where superoneclick creates busybox issues that can easily lead to hard or soft bricks on the phone."
[Atrix 4G General] HIGGI666:
Im pretty sure it works. No i dont think you can hard brick your phone using superoneclick. All it is is an automatic phone rooting program somyou dont have to do it the other way by using cmd prompt and writing the lines of code out yourself. Like i said if superoneclick determines your phone is rooted already it'll stop rooting and tell you. Oh and as for you cwm recovery question, its not an app you see in your app list. When you press power and volume button to access the boot menu when you scroll through the options highlight the android recovery option itll says wich recovery you have at the bottom of the screen when your in android recovery.
[Atrix 4G General] eSu.Matix:
Well I downloaded Root Checker from the market and it says: "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access."

What if SuperOneClick decide that my device is not actually rooted and decide to root itself?

I rooted my other phone countless times with SuperOneClick but I just don't trust this program. If any dev could give me green light to use it I will do it, but so far I just don't think it's really safe.

Thanks alot for the help tho. I really appreciate your help.
[Atrix 4G General] HIGGI666:
No prob. Yes i did that very same thing, got a root checker app and it told me i dont have root access, so thats when i tryed superoneclick to root it again and it told me i already have root access and then all of a sudden the apps that need root access worked again. But i hear ya on the being afraid to brick your phone. I soft bricked mine once, i didnt have a recovery program on my phone so i had to scoure the net to find an original stock bell mobility rom, and that wasnt easy.
[Atrix 4G General] eSu.Matix:
OK. New update.

I basically backed up my current ROM. Then downloaded some CM10.1 and flashed it on my phone with the gapps and now everything is fine. I download a program which requires root access, SU asked me and when I allowed the program had root access.

Thanks a lot tayshun12. Big cheers buddy!

First of all, let me give you a big tahnk you for all the work you do to help us with the problems we have, about 3 weeks I bought a Atrix 4G AT&T, it came with GB 2.3.6. build(I think taht is) 4.5.141.. by accident, I OTA to 4.5.145, and the problem is that my battery has gone crazy, it passes from full charge to 0% in about 4 hours and stay like that for about 5 hrs, I succesfully rooted it following the cmd (entering via fastboot and typing the commands) method, to try the battery calibration apps found in the G Play, but none did worked, finallyI did a factory reset( some user from another spanish forum told that could work) but nothing, it keeps all messed up, then I found tht unlocking the boot I wolud be able to flash CWM that has an option to clear the battery info and return it to normal function, but the point is, that someone in the previous forum told me that this bukid (4.5.145) can´t be unlocked, beause is the newer one and nobody has tested it (and would hard brick the phone), could be someone be kind enough to tell me if this process is safe to use in my phone, and if somebody has already used it and how it went...

My phone info is:

System Ver: 4.5.145.MB860AT&T.en.US

Model # MB860

uk Tmobile atrix 4g

I am new to this, but have spent a lot of time reading the forums and can not see anything regarding the unlocking of a uk tmobile phone.

I saw a warning once regarding the orange uk version, but that warning may be out of date, in any case I have the t moible version.

So my questions is, and sorry if this is obvious to everyone, but can I use the sbf from the international ihop on my uk phone.

I appear to have all the drivers, but when I tried the details from the motorola page to unlock my phone, the cmd command

fastboot oem unlock data instructions, this was on their site, but anyway it did not work.

So any advice please....

I didn't expect to lose root access after writing the recovery, so the whole step on removing the install-recovery.sh afterwards gave me a little grief. Good thing rooting is quick. I usually use Astro File Manager like the OP, but I wasn't being granted the permissions even after rooting, so I had to use Root Explorer also mentioned.

I also didn't expect the first time backup to take so long! In the end, I'm successfully running MROM now... Thanks for the guide, OP!

[Atrix 4G General] MKA667:
I bricked the phone in a very unusual status

Hi, I'm new here.

I was trying to upgrade the kernel of my Atrix, just because the stock one doesn't support mounting nfs/smb shares (yes, I've tried some .ko modules, but they didn't work).

I followed the procedure, but, for an unknown reason, I missed/forgot the step of above (flashing the CWM): since I didn't know, I went ahead and tried to install a custom kernel, but the result was to block my phone.

Trying many things, I re-flashed the "intl-fix-try1.sbf" file again, which unlocked the phone, then I started all over again, being eventually able to see the CWM. From there iI installed a first kernel (Faux123's 1GHz kernel, which should include the needed modules) but, after restarting the phone, it automatically returned to the CWM.

Thinking to have done something wrong with the kernel, I installed some whole new ROMs, the last of which is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2167927 but nothing changed.

I've eventually been able to boot the phone by keeping the vol-down button and then selecting "Boot Android (No BP)", but the system is quite unstable (it restarts very often, especially if I use wifi).

If I start the phone selecting "BP HW Diag & Boot AP" the system seems to be stable, but the connected mouse and keyboard don't work (just to be explicit, with the other option the system is unstable even without using the docking-station).

The phone is international (I think it was bought in UK, although it had a T-Mobile logo on startup), and I don't mind using it as a phone.

What could I do?

Is there a way to completely restore my phone to the factory rom, kernel, and boot loader? I've tried to read some other threads, but the links to the ROMs don't work anymore.

Thank You
[Atrix 4G General] andresrivas:
If you have an unlocked bootloader and cwm recovery, then you can install latest cm 7 nightly, think of it as a "stock" custom rom, everithing just works and you can install many mods that are in the forum, designed for cm7.

I was just wondering if you this is weird, The atrix I have has 2.2.2 on it, and no updates available.. apparently it has a different version on it.. something like .. Retail.en.FR

any Idea?

thanks :confused:

Pretty much like this, RSD said PASS after the executions and reboots.. When I try FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK, it just keep saying <waiting for devices>

that's it.. even though the phone was connected.. so I tried twice.

1. With right after the RSD said PASS

2. I powered the phone down, then turned it back on again with RSD support.

but each time, fastboot oem unlock said:

<waiting for devices>

any help? thanks :)

[Atrix 4G General] dimatrod:
Try doing "fastboot -i 0x22b8 oem unlock"

So I got it done on my Macbook, however I did have to install my old Windows XP X64 through boot camp. I couldn't get the boot camp drivers to install because for some really idiotic reason, Apple decided not to support XP 64bit, but installing the moto drivers supplied in the pudding thread were enough to get RSD Lite working.

The process appeared as Failed in my case, and I stupidly left my SIM card and SD card in the phone during all the process (but nothing happened to them really). I just continued as indicated and everything went fine. I did everything after the RSD Lite part in my OS X environment with fastboot-mac with absolutely no problems (heh had more problems in Windows than in OS X). Now I'm happily running the Alien Rom and Faux kernel (for a moment ran @1.45, but I prefer battery to performance).

So I might have screwed up this slightly. Your directions are good, just wondering about one thing. I got RSDlite to a point where it said "Please manullay reboot the phone" So I did, nothing really happened. So I unplugged and went on witht he fastbook oem unlock. It now says Unlocked in white writing when booting up, but I'm not sure if it worked because I try to boot into CWM recovery mode but get an exclamation mark and it never moves from there. I think that is a sign that it is not in fact unlocked? Unless someone can correct me.

[Atrix 4G General] MKA667:
Hi, thank you for your reply.

I don't want to use CM, because the HDMI wouldn't work, and, actually, I only want to use that phone as a media player (that's why I wanted to mount a NFS or SMB share).

Anyway the problem seems to be independent of the ROM: it seems to me that I messed up the bootloader somehow, that's why it starts the recovery instead of the OS, but I reinstalled it many times.

Even the instability seems to be related to the bootloader, since the phone is stable with the aforementioned option.

I'm very new to android, I don't know exactly what the various parts involved in booting it are (I think I'll check Wikipedia or something), but, since I've tried many ROMs, resolving none of the two problems, I would exclude them.

I initially thought that the instability was due to the overclocked kernel, so I installed another one, but nothing changed...
[Atrix 4G General] ravilov:
That is highly inaccurate. HDMI works perfectly fine on CM7. You probably meant lapdock.

Might seem unimportant to you but it is actually very important to use precise technical terms with things like that, especially on a highly technical forum such as this one.

Some other noob might come across your post and take it for granted and start believing HDMI doesn't work on CM7-based ROMs. This is how misinformation, miscommunication and rumors happen.
[Atrix 4G General] MKA667:
Sorry

Oh, I see: sorry for writing something so wrong.

Actually, reading other posts from other users is exactly how I had the idea that CM didn't support HDMI, so you're completely right about not writing incorrect information.

I'll try CM7, although I don't think that installing another ROM could solve my problems with the bootloader.
[Atrix 4G General] MKA667:
Update

Update: I installed CM7(from https://code.google.com/p/atrix-dev-team/ ) and the phone is more stable (just a couple of reboots in one hour, while, using the other ROM and booting it in standard mode, the phone rarely lasted more than one minute if using wifi), but it still boots in recovery mode.

As for the HDMI, as stated on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1154600, "The current version of CM7 for the Atrix does not yet support... Horizontal HDMI Mirroring", which in short means that one cannot effectively use the phone as video player.

Now, since the problem seems to be related to the bootloader's (in particular, its configuration), how can I reset it?

Is there a configuration file (like the one used by GRUB) to edit, or something?
[Atrix 4G General] ravilov:
Did you look at the date of that post? :rolleyes:

I have successfully used HDMI mirroring both portrait and landscape. It works out of the box, I had to do precisely nothing to get it to work.

The bootloader is a completely closed proprietary piece of code. So far, using the unlock method mentioned in this thread is as far as anyone got at modifying it.
[Atrix 4G General] andresrivas:
He got the stable release, the fix was pushed to the nightlies

Enviado desde mi MB860 usando Tapatalk 2
[Atrix 4G General] MKA667:
Solved

Oh, I see: usually the first post is updated ASA there's something new, so I didn't look at its date.

Anyway, I tried the HDMI out just a couple of minutes, since, in that moment, my main concern was the instability of the phone and the status of the bootloader.

Anyway, I've eventually solved all my problems.

On another website I found a link to many stock ROM images, bootloader included:

- I downloaded a ROM from here;

- I flashed it (using RSD): the phone was unable to boot (it rebooted after showing the Moto animation), but that was probably because I didn't erase any setting;

- I started the process all over again;

- after installing again the modified bootloader, it was already unlocked (but I gave the command again, just to be sure);

- I flashed NOTTACHTRIX 4G v2.3.0.

Now everything works fine: the phone is stable (no random reboots), I can turn it on without using the volume-down button, and can charge the battery normally.

I understand that we cannot modify the bootloader, but I also understand that, since flashing it many times didn't resolve my problem, the setting that wasn't working wasn't inside the bootloader, but was another file somewhere else...

Anyway, now the phone works.

Thank you very much to everyone for the help!
