ADB shell is a command
[Atrix 4G General] Frosty09:
WOW.... it worked great.

Thank you....

After letting AT&T update my ATRIX 4G from 4.5.91 to 4.5.141 several weeks ago... I lost root.

I found the instructions here on how to root 4.5.141.... and tried several times to root my ATRIX again.

Finally... today I got it. It is now rooted. And I then installed the Voodoo OTA RootKeeper to ensure that I don't lose root again. RootKeeper is a nice free app that even allows for very simple to use temporary unrooting and re-rooting.

Thank you... Thank You.... THANK YOU.

That is normal. Just continue to input the rest of the commands. If you are not sure what those commands are I recommend you go here:

[Atrix 4G General] Br4hm4:
A little help please...I get to step 9

type “adb shell” press enter (to restart the shell)

For some reason when I type the command, I receive and error that states: "Device not Found"

Am I supposed to let the phone boot all the way up? Did I skipe a step? The previous 8 steps were smooth and did exactly as it is supposed to. Should I be slecting a certain option for the USB connection?

thank you in advance.

Rooting Atrix 4.5.141 w/o a PC

Is there a way to do it if you have a Mac (OSX Lion) or just on the phone itself?
[Atrix 4G General] Dark9781:
You need to let the phone boot back up before entering adb shell.
[Atrix 4G General] ahmundoi:
Worked by brute force

The steps outlined worked for me...

A few things for my Atrix I noted, and I guess I was lucky that my blind faith in this community worked!

Here are the steps I took... hope they help put your mind at ease!

Pre-AT&T Update: I had a rooted atrix 4g 4.5.91 using SuperOneClick

I accidentally pressed "yes" to AT&T's OTA update w/o realizing I would lose my root.

panicked and searched all over the web for a way to root

found this thread and followed the advice verbatim (actually followed the original post, and used this post to verify as well as to glean insight from others' experiences)

While following the steps verbatim, my phone never reboot itself... so I just pulled the battery

after turning on the phone, simulating a "reboot" with the battery pull, I ran the adb scrpts.

I also ran into the first "error" and kept going like Dark9781 suggested

towards the end, I couldn't install the SU (cp /preinstall/su /system/bin/) because one was already installed (I saw that the OTA update didn't remove the SU App)

Checked if my phone was rooted anyways using Titanium Backup

the current SU I had reported that it was out of date, but the phone was still rooted

yay!
[Atrix 4G General] Br4hm4:
That is what I thought. I have tried the steps again and it gives me the same error. Device not found. hmmm.
[Atrix 4G General] Dark9781:
Quite odd. Do you have the Motorola drivers installed? If not you can find them here:

No Space Left !!

On Step 13, I am getting error saying

“cp: write error: No space left on device”

Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks,
[Atrix 4G General] Br4hm4:
ok, I was able to get the ADB shell going...and was able to root. Unfortunately...2.3.6 locked up hard and didn't let me do anything so I did a factory reset on the Atrix and now I get to the step to type in /preinstall /dosu or /preinstall /su and I keep getting permission denied.

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------

Disregard my previous post. I am now successfully rooted. Thank you for all the assistance. :)
[Atrix 4G General] darklipslide:

[Atrix 4G General] Br4hm4:
after all the hassles and what not...I dropped my Atrix today and shattered the glass. So, since I was fed up with AT&T customer service, I went to Verizon and picked up a RAZR.
[Atrix 4G General] mrphil101:
Don't know if you have had any dealings with Verizon customer service, but my experience is AT&T customer service beats verizons by a long shot. Keep in mind that all the first level support from either are people that have to read from a script, so there they are pretty equally useless. But just contacting support is way easier with att. Having to escalate an issue is usually easier with att. And trying to get Verizon to exchange equipment is difficult. Best of luck.

Isn't going from an Artix to a RAZR a "downgrade".
[Atrix 4G General] dratsablive:
Am trying to root my Atrix on 4.5.91. Am using a linux laptop. I can connect my phone and it's recognized with ADB, and can copy files to and from phone. But when I put it into Fastboot mode, it's not recognized. Do I have to boot to windows and use the windows drivers?

How did I lose my root?

Hi I used this to successfully root my bell 2.3.6 Atrix.

But I lost it after unlocking the boot loader.

Long story short; I tried to root again and ran into a problem when I enter my ADB commands. " error there is more than one device and emulator". I deleted the ROM manager but couldn't find the super user recovery icon to uninstall that. So I can't get around this message what should I do?
[Atrix 4G General] ltdanno360:

[Atrix 4G General] Cyanide41:
It took me 2 tries (most likely user error) but I got it to work. Thanks! :D
[Atrix 4G General] sjmoreno:
Seriously? I have the Atrix on AT&T (work) and a Droid X on Verizon (personal). I've had to speak to customer service for both companies and I can't say AT&T is better. Recently I was getting really slow (like 200-300kbps) download speeds on my Atrix and I had to call AT&T customer support twice (which got me no where) and had to visit a AT&T store three times before at last one of the guys actually took the phone from me and went through some troubleshooting. After discovering I was on the lastest .141 release and was using the 37p baseband he suggested simply exchanging my sim card (since I've had this sim card for about 4 years back to the days when I was carrying a BlackBerry for work). Lo and behold my speeds improved. Not to the speeds AT&T advertise but at least I was getting solid 1 to 2 mbps after the new sim was installed.

So for what it's worth, you may have enjoyed superior service from AT&T (which would surprise me since they consistently come in dead last every year in Consumer Reports for customer service) but maybe you're just lucky that way.

Note: Just to expand on my "service" with AT&T regarding this data speed issue, on the second trip to the AT&T store the customer rep without even trying to troubleshoot the phone actually looked at me with a straight face and said "I recommend you get a new phone." I'm not EVEN making that up.

Unlock bootloader

Hello, I am a "noob" to all this rooting, so it would be great if someone is patient enough to tell me if this method will also unlock the bootloader of the 4.5.141 update?

Thank you,
[Atrix 4G General] Tanuke:
This method works great for 4.5.141, but it only roots the phone. If you want to unlock the bootloader, the automatic script at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 still works with .141
[Atrix 4G General] Four_Wude:
Yeah, be careful when it comes to unlocking the bootloader on .141 and follow the directions. I tried to unlock it with SBF using the guides that were pinned and ended up hard bricking lol. It wasn't a true hard brick though so I managed to fix it, but never play with SBFs unless you know what you're doing!

[Atrix 4G General] LFCxda:
4.5.141, never rooted before

So i tried rooting my Atrix for the first time and got a message with the verify app that it wasn't fully rooted.

I decided to combine two sets of similar instructions I found doing searches and got it to finally work.

youtube.com/watch?v=GmkbY6D1614 (video of one set of instructions)

I was getting a permission denied when trying to copy the super user file.

So i tried these steps replacing preinstall with reinstall for step and everything worked fine.

Try at you own risk

:

1. Make sure you are using a file name fastboot and not moto-fastboot if so rename it.

2.My folder containing the files was in c:/android yours may be different so you'll have to point the instructions there. (c:/"path to your folder")

C:\Users\Me>cd c:/android

c:\Android>fastboot.exe flash preinstall preinstall.img

< waiting for device >

sending 'preinstall' (30720 KB)... OKAY [ 5.102s]

writing 'preinstall'... OKAY [ 1.907s]

So im gonna try this one and see whats working and not
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ccline84:

I only used them briefly, but FB15 seemed smoother to me. That's just general functionality, not individual apps. I didn't use them in-depth.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
So, ICS is freakin sick! I can't wait till its fully ready for release. I've tested the fb17 ICS4.0.3 and it seems to be a tiny bit laggy at times. I also ran into a few apps that will not install. Not sure what this issue is, I thought that maybe the apps were not yet compatible with ICS. But apps that shouldn't work yet don't show in the market if not compatible. A few apps that that I have found (ie: xPlane is 1, xda premium is another) is found in the market, but do not install.

I'm stumped.. :/

I recall reading that myself sfhub. Its the apps that install to SD card but they are trying to work through that. Thanks for all of your great work. You definitely saved me at 4am on day 1 of FB09 when the build prop was accidentally left out and I had to restore to full stock...lol. used EG30, then Odin flashed a kernel and restored my nandroid in no time flat.

After a few minutes of sheer panic! Hehe
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I found FB15 to be smoother overall, but did not test individual apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tramane:
Definetly agree

Also I noticed that fb15 does not have the ICS stock launcher built in, but the fb17 release does

Upon further 4g testing it looks like my 4g has ups and downs becuase I suddenly dropped to 200kb down on a 4g speed test 30 minutes after getting 3000kb

So the issue may not be with fb15

I have a strange issue

It doesnt seem like it charged well on FB17 for me

Like its eating up more battery power than it can replace becuase after 30 minites on charge it only went up 2% and thats VERY ODD

Theres like 3 build floating around, im assuming there is no difference since they all say rooted stock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I didn't look at the other builds, but the only thing I change is add 3 files for persistent root. The main thing the package here gives you is convenience and a reliable base to start with.

Added NoData version. It is only suggested you use this to go from STOCK ICS to STOCK ICS. For example STOCK FB17 to STOCK FB15. It is NOT suggested to go back and forth between ICS and GB using NoData versions. Full versions are suggested in that case.

Is there a way to have the GPS Radio only turn on if I open Waze or some other GPS Aware program? Trying to conserve power here.

TIA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
To my knowledge, having GPS on standby barely uses any battery. Only when an app updates your location.

I'd just leave it on. Maybe Juice Defender could manage it though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
That's how Android works. The GPS isn't actually on unless you see the icon in the top bar. Try it yourself - open Google Maps and you'll se the icon, then close Maps and you'll see it go away.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Saelee:
Thanks, I wasn't aware of that, I've always turned it off because I thought that it would drain my battery.

I know for a fact that the BT will drain your battery even if you have nothing connected to it so turn it off if you don't use it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
No, it doesn't. Nor does GPS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
Reason people think that I bet is because when Bluetooth was new tech and only in it's first revision it didn't have any power saving features and was constantly pinging the radio if devices were connected or not. That was fixed with Bluetooth 1.3 onwards if memory serves right.

Bluetooth will not use battery unless its connected to a device, and then only will if the phone and the device get out of range from each other. I think but don't quote me, that the connecting device is in charge of pinging and staying pared and not the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
Gps can actually cause battery drain of you do a ton of web browsing and are using googles locstion sharing feature...it shares your location each time you load a page in the browser...so not only uses gps but the maps app as well.

Pull down status bar, toggle GPS on/off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MobileData:
I use a program called Tasker and created a rule that turns on GPS only when I open Maps and Navigation. Tasker is a paid app but well worth it. i used it to turn on bluetooth and Nav when I get in my car in the morning, it also shuts off wifi and starts streaming Pandora. When I get to my office, it shuts off the ringer and turns on vibrate mode, shuts off the data network and stops streaming Pandora. It checks my personal email twice per day at scheduled intervals so I am not distracted.

When i plug in my headphones, a menu appears asking if I would like to launch music, pandora or phone.

Though it's a paid app, it is worth the money. Tasker is awesome.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] theleetbeagle:
I just bought and paid for Tasker for the GPS one click workaround.

Tasker has a learning curve, but it's like any other macro editor.

You basically make a macro that says

IF app_being_opened = Navigation

AND gps status = off

THEN Open Location Settings

DPAD Down

DPAD Down

DPAD Enter

^-- Tasker does these for you, you sit there and watch.

OPEN Navigation

And you can do the same thing for Maps or any other apps requiring GPS.

Note that I also just made one for one click 4G, too.

Works well.

Note that I'm sure the macros can be cleaned up and made more idiot-proof, but I'm nowhere near proficient with Tasker yet. There are A LOT of options.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vellan:
+1 for Tasker. I am by no means an expert with it, but it definitely has a lot of functionality.

I've used it to only turn on GPS when opening certain apps (like maps, foursquare, etc.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesd86:
I don't understand the need to pay for an app to turn GPS on:off. Tasked has a lot more uses but to purchase it for an answer to a nonexistent problem is so...meh.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] theleetbeagle:
Troll keep on trolling.

There is obviously a problem if multiple threads have been started to address the problem and if all the GPS widgets on the Market have to have a disclaimer saying "1 click won't work on 2.3.x devices."

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
The problem is purely a symptom of blogs and forums and people cross-interacting. "One person" says something, 4 people quote it elsewhere, those people get quoted, suddenly an opinion of one person has dozens of people saying it. Another analogy is one person tells/blogs a lie, two people tell/blog the same lie, and suddenly it's truth.

GPS does absolutely nothing if enabled and not in use. It's a switch that says it's okay to use, it's not powered on until asked.
