I'd love to try rooting on the new update, but I don't see trying that is a viable option until we get FXZ files (if we do).

EDIT: Got my Atrix HD!

Well also looks like the new HTC One X got an update that blocks same exploits. I tried the last script. Maybe it needs modifications. Maybe to write things to a different folder?

I got one HOX. I'm receiving this week and I'll be able to work on it.

Unfortunately that one cannot be edited because it is a pre-compiled exe.

EDIT: This is what I got so far. It does not work, just thought I'd share everything I am doing.

New leak update found by droidian.

Compared build.prop to original:

http://diffchecker.com/z75N5C7C

Notice they change some AT&T branding around with Motorola branding, and the same debug option is difference like the other leak.

It is system version 77.12.17 to be installed over 77.10.16. It will most likely NOT be official by checking some special comments made in build.prop this time like

# In order to hide the market name from the public during user trials,
# set the ro.property.model.exif in system.prop to a non-descriptive string, such as MODEL A.
# This string will be populated in the "model" EXIF field of camera captured image JPEG files.
# When the product team is ready for the market name to be available to the public (e.g., in a TA build),
# then the ro.property.model.exif in system.prop MUST be changed to match the PRODUCT_MODEL string.

ro.product.model.exif=AtrixHD

Download link for 77.12.17: http://www.mediafire.com/?9wkno5hid0qznz2

Remember! We have no SBF/FXZ yet, and since this is a new partition setup from OMAP processors, it is hard to tell if will will be downgradable or not, even if we DO get SBF/FXZ.
[Motorola Atrix HD] droidian1441:
Heeeyyy thats me! :D

Me and Matt are both looking at the build.prop for any other changes. Matt will keep you up to date LOL.

[Motorola Atrix HD] newbdroyd:
Okay, so I made a post or two on the last root thread...and due to my lack of knowledge there has been a question I cant seem to find an answer for and it may simply be because i don't know the correct wording to relay the information i'm requesting...being the grown man that I am, I am fully prepared to accept any and all blasting about to come my way, so here it goes...

Is there not a way to mount (maybe the wrong word to use) the AtrxHD to a computer and "dd" whatever /sd(?) partition the system partition equates to? Shouldn't the "of=#####.image" result in being a backup image of the system partition? If so, could one not break down our pulled .image file then rebuild it with the preferred permission changes?

So there it is...feel free to begin the onslaught...
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
This would unfortunately not mount the right root folders for us to gain access to. Nice idea though.

However... but it no longer has a signature, because once flashed to phone it extracts (for system.img). But... dd'ing out the boot.img and recovery.img they can be re-flashed because they retain signatures from factory flashing of the phone.

I have another thread with the proper blocks for DD'ing the partitions.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Kedakari:
Still nothing on my end...

This is bringing up memories of trying to get rootkits on to remote linux boxes 10 years ago on IRC in the land of script kiddies...
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
I posted a new thread 'Atrix HD Kernel Changer' which may have some new/and or different exploits than the current one. Hard to say for sure.
[Motorola Atrix HD] busarov:
So I flashed the first kernel, and everything seems to be the same permissions wise. I'll try the second here in a bit.

Should I try one of the rooting methods again after I've changed the kernel or do I risk bricking the phone?
[Motorola Atrix HD] newbdroyd:
I looked at the partitions list you posted. I had mounted it in such a way it came up as a sdb partition with the sub partitions of sdb1, sdb2, and sdb3i think...it was a few days ago so the numeric value might be off, but the sum totalled the "16" gigs of our device. The largest being a "data" partition just under 9 g, the smallest was a small partition listed as "swapable" that might have been 1 maybe 2 gigs at best. Then the final one was either an ext2 or might have been ext3 format. When looking at it with gparted it looked identical to the partitioning of my Ubuntu laptop. Would there not be a copying of one of these partitions that could be accessed and manipulated?
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
You won't risk bricking trying the methods that have been posted in this thread for sure. It figures the newer kernels have the same protection as the current one, or more :(
[Motorola Atrix HD] Dexter_nlb:
hi,

our optimus 4x got rooted on the OS level as i see it, so why not try and see if you can use it too. it originated from OneX but it all starts with a regular apk to install, reboot and it will have set the /data/local.prop to debug mode, and adb is running in root mode if this app works.

look here for more , if the apk part works, you can write your own guides on how to get it running.

Good luck, and its only an app, should not be scary if its failing at all, but you will see the device running very slow if it works, since it start debug mode, which enables root and the fun starts where you can push files to it.

edit: when i write an apk, i mean only take the part of installing the apk, for now. Skip the rooting method. if all goes well, you can easily see it worked. and you got a root login with adb.

"3.Download and copy "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk" to your phone" is here

just try this step and see how it goes with root access using adb.
[Motorola Atrix HD] turboman93:

Thank you for sharing this apk though, looked promising at first anyway.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Dexter_nlb:
so you installed the apk, started it once? rebooted? and then tried adb to see the shell type?

(sorry, i am not sure, if the "run it once" might have been a missing part of my quick post)
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
That's what I did, I am re-doing to get the shell type.

Before app:

[Motorola Atrix HD] Dexter_nlb:
ok,

i guess this goes in combo with the LG backup function. honestly did not investigate the apk, but it probably utilize the backup on the LG mobile, which can backup system and all apps as well. so probably a exploit in that.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mqguitar:
I keep seeing problem is permissions. Is there no way of possibly just getting full permissions temporarily. To maybe change them on the directory we want and then keep on with script?
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
If we could change permissions we'd already be rooted ;)

Maybe at this point it would be better to see if we get a bootloader unlock. Check out my thread in General about it... added some cool stuff like commands enabled to get an unlocking code, and a way to enter one. Just need a cipher...like a webkit to unlock them.
[Motorola Atrix HD] kobos311:
Normally with motos it takes a bit more than a webkit are there any exposures in the system dump before I bother looking most ics pre installed devices would have a exposure in say the blue tooth or gps ill look if someone thinks they've found one

Curiosity Strikes

I know you have a leaked update. Have you grep the files for maybe a possible unlocked bootloader?
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
Yes I have.
[Motorola Atrix HD] samcripp:
Damn to bad. Okay can you tell me of the attempts made to gain root. Has anyone use a dock to obtain the root. O remember correctly on the photon 4g , one of the most impossible phones to root. He trick was to place the phone on a dock, this caused a script to run from /data that installed root. Hmmm, let me think of something. We need -eval. If there is a man for a Motorola root job, he is the guy.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
I don't have a dock to try for this one.

If you want to email someone go ahead, no one is stopping you lol
[Motorola Atrix HD] samcripp:
Lol, I've been on it for a month already. Actually the whole ATRIX 4g community is been on it for a while. I even started a thread there about unlocking the bootloader for this device.

From ATRIX 4g, ty all that made that possible @ ATRIX 4g community.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Dexter_nlb:
you need

ro.kernel.qemu=1

, not ro.secure , since that only works from boot.img, not local.prop , but kernel.qemu=1 works.

[Motorola Atrix HD] newbdroyd:
What's the docking method you're referring to? I have both the multimedia dock and the car dock. I have also rearranged the wires :D for one of the old ATRIX 4g lapdocks and can now plug my phone in to it causing the phone to kick in to dock mode...

*****UPDATE*****

After looking at photon docking root method instructions, I don't believe this will work. When this line of phone was first released, you had a "webtop" option you could select when you first "dock" the device. Now "docking mode" merely is a layout of different apps and options depending on which "dock" type you chose. From what I can remember "webtop" was almost an entirely different interface...I will continue looking at the process and "try" the method, but I'm not getting my hopes up...will update with results...
[Motorola Atrix HD] curly9:
Ya the photon on sprimt did need the dock for the longest tim sinc i owned it i had to wait a long time.
[Motorola Atrix HD] samcripp:
Try freenode #moto-atrix on IRC. Find edgan. That's the gentleman who created the dock root. And you are correct the dock trick might not be suitable for this device. But if there is someone experience enough with moto devices its him.

News about Motorola boot load unlock

Just read this on slashdot. Been following the thread. My Atrix HD arrives Monday.

Motorola Releases an Official Bootloader Unlocker

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday August 18, @10:38AM

from the uncommonly-helpful dept.

New submitter Nertskull writes

"Motorola has released a tool to allow anyone to unlock the bootloader on their phone/tablet. The only supported device so far is the Photon Q 4G LTE, though three other devices are supported through their developer unlock program. Support for unlocking other devices is supposedly on its way." Motorola leads into the unlocking process with this amusing tidbit: "WARNING: Motorola strongly recommends against unlocking the bootloader and/or modifying or altering a device's software or operating system. Doing so can have unintended, unforeseen, and dangerous consequences, such as rendering the device unusable, violating applicable laws, or causing property damage and/or bodily injury, including death." Careful, folks; unlocking that bootloader might kill you.

Also, Here is a link to the artical

http mobile.slashdot.org/story/12/08/18/1437251/motorola-releases-an-official-bootloader-unlocker
[Motorola Atrix HD] newbdroyd:
please forgive my ignorance, but I'm not too familiar with freenode. I looking it up and i found freenode IRC, even the moto-atrix thread/group, but i was unable to get into the "chatroom" to find edgan. also as an update to the dock root method, still no good, unable to write the /var/tmp folder the instructions directed you to work from...
[Motorola Atrix HD] samcripp:
try http://webchat.freenode.net there choose a nickname and on the channels blank put #moto-atrix just like that.

IRC stands for internet relay chat. You can get a PC client xchat2 for windows or xchat for Ubuntu. Everyone is welcome to go there and be curious, usually one or two handy devs there
[Motorola Atrix HD] Kedakari:
This brought up a really good thought.

I remember from using the Samsung Captivate; we used a USB dongle to trick it into thinking it was docked so that we could recover from bootloop.

Maybe this might be useful to look into.

As for webtop... "I THINK" webtop will be available later on down the road for the mAtrix HD as I've found some services running that are labeled as "webtop"

also a few other references to webtop throughout the operating system on the HD

Also another rooting thought that came to mind was that a previous Samsung Device (I believe the vibrant but dont quote me on it) used the charging screen bootloader/partition (or whatever it was) to find a way to root. I dug around but I can't find it anymore as it's been years.

I'm sorry I haven't been more involved, as I mentioned in the other root thread that I have health issues that keep me in the hospital and even being on my netbook can ware me out. Most of the times I post on here is because I'm in a hospital bed bored, looking at my heart monitor. I've been a type 1 diabetic since early on in life and with a lack of medical insurance I have not been able to follow up with my care correctly.

Currently I'm suffering from neuropathy, hypertension, and gastroparesis. I'm constantly in pain and/or vomiting. Unless I can start eating regularly, I wont be able to recover, and with gastroparesis my GI moves twice as slow so food tends to stay in my stomach and rot. Sometimes causing infection. Which is why I'm in the hospital right now. I had food sit in my stomach and my tempature reached 104.1 so I had to come back to the ER.

Once I'm back on my feet and I have a full fledged desktop to relax in front of (with the added bonus of mobility not being tethered to an IV) I would be able to crank out a solution pretty quick, but for now all I can do is toss out ideas.

But again, if there is anything I can do as an Atrix HD owner (such as providing logs or information from the device), just let me know and I'll post it here.

Love you guys and your hard work, I'll be around here and there just to poke around and check progress.
[Motorola Atrix HD] CaptMorganz:
:crying: i dont want my atrix rooted anymore... i just want you to live!!! :crying:
[Motorola Atrix HD] SErooted:
i am curious as to how it is that several of the device can be booted into fastboot mode and have the oem unlock command appear. obviously after typing it in and getting your unlock token. the xoom was rootable the day after realease with this option and though it took some time for the atrix one to recieve this treatment. it did become available.

off topic a ways i know... i just worked on a friend of mines triumph... not worthy of carrying moto's name on it... however, that had to be the easiest phone i have ever worked on in my life. it was a paper weight when he gave it to me and fifteen minutes later it was rooted and running a custom rom... wish they were all that easy.

Back to topic... what needs to be done to get root on this device? i would love to test but i dont think my dad would let me work on his. i have two xperia ions and an atrix 1.
[Motorola Atrix HD] SErooted:
I am wondering if there is something withing the system files. like recovery and boot that would help us get a root going..

this is what i am thinking... on a few htc devices that i know of. if you are not wanting to or able to s -off, you have to be able to get into fastboot boot mode and flash the boot image from the rom or file you are wanting to install. also at the same time like stated with this phone above in my last post moto triumph... the easiest way to save from a brick which is what i did or to even obtain cwm or a factory recovery, is to boot into the download mode and replace the boot.img and the recovery.img with what you want... ie factory or custom boot.img or recovery.img.. just as an idea anyway.

[Motorola Atrix HD] jmb12177:
Just like this guy ^ I am a geek, but know very lil about programing, let alone trying to hack into root.

But I had a thought, and feel free to shoot it down in flames if it is just stupid.

But my wife has a nook tablet, and of course it is rooted, I don't know the code behind it, but to do so it involved putting files on an micro SD card, then restarting the nook to a diff operating mode, not sure if boots off the uSD card or is like a safe mode, and from there it roots the nook, then restarts it back into normal mode that is now rooted.

Just thought it could be an option.

Keep up the amazing work.

Just got an Atrix HD. Whats the update on the root situation. Seems like nothings working at this time?
[Motorola Atrix HD] newbdroyd:
Unfortunately you are correct...no positive result as of yet, though I will admit, I don't think I could even classify myself as a geek and have only recently got into development, and its purely as a hobby at best. Though I do consider myself one to catch on rather quickly. But I have looked at other similar devices...and none of those methods worked.

I don't know about anyone else, but I have begun to feel defeated, but only bcz it seems like we have come to a stalemate...again this is coming from someone who does not consider himself even a beginner at this stage...
