Asus built a magnet inside the tab. Magnets only really affected the old platter hard drives. No worries.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billchen0014:
this is right, one end of the magnet is build into the device, as long as you buy the accessories from appropriate vendors, then there is nothing to worry about.

be able to use teamviewr

have adb working

another thing i am going to try is a special kernel but i need someone that can confirm you guys can flash boot.imgs if yes you are rooted!!!

i attached a script for windows for you guys to try rooting if it works please report if not please report too you need to have usb debuging enabled too

[Motorola Atrix HD] joejoejo:
I'm asking is what does the script do
[Motorola Atrix HD] jose51197:
No luck for today, for any dev reading this you won't find write permissions on data partition and on data not even read permissions on /dev no way to flash a insecure boot.IMG can't get ADV restore to restore anything , no way to flash stuff , no user mode on adb and no way to get boot loader unlocked( needs key) if I can find someone with a official boot loader unlock with his device I can maybe find a way to guess how making a device password works that means you can get unlocked if I find that way also tried another methods and no way to do since even files on data partition don't have read permission so sorry guys but I will try again and again if necessary

The guy that took the time out of his day to modify it.

Im sure dan could of had this done days and days ago if he wanted.

Bounty can be his if he wants.

Still if only one hole is in the system what the hell else should he/we do?

Ask Dan until he decides that he will finally root a device more than once?

Its not an easy question because this isnt a normal service we are asking for.
[Motorola Atrix HD] jose51197:
Well, that's a hole we are using and that exploit won't work, we just using it but having local.prop deleted means only a phase of that exploit works meaning that we gotta find what 1% of code do that and use it making a 99% our code exploit Forgot to tell that you are free to try rooting yourself and see where you go expending days or weeks or days on this

---------- Post added at 07:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 AM ----------

Agreed, i told Dan about our problem with root even before Jose come to our thread. No response from Dan.
[Motorola Atrix HD] OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF:
Agree too.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
I don't think you understand how finding and implementing a root exploit works. What Jose is doing seems to just be trying exploits from other devices which we all know aren't going to work. This happened before and I had to make a new thread for finding a root exploit for the Atrix HD. The work I had done in testing exploits, modifying them a bit, and organizing a thread is absolutely minuscule to the work that Dan and others in the Android community have done for exploits. 1% being the whole thing, according to you. Dan and others have no reason to respond to every single person who messages them. I get dozens and dozens of messages a day from the devices I work on, I can only imagine what he gets from people asking him to "root this" and "root that."

What you do with your money is up to you, but the bounty should go to whoever roots Jellybean, not whoever "tried the hardest." That's how this works.
[Motorola Atrix HD] OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF:
Ok, who post working method of root 4.1 take money?
[Motorola Atrix HD] djrbliss:
First of all, being able to delete a file means exactly that: that you can delete a file. It doesn't mean that you can create a new file or write to an existing file. It all depends on the specific nature of the vulnerability used. Second of all, ADB was changed in 4.1 so that /data/local.prop is completely ignored. In other words, there is no way to set ro.kernel.qemu via /data/local.prop to gain root access, so you're barking up the wrong tree.

As Matt said, trying existing exploits in the hope that one of them works is almost certainly going to fail. I would know: I have rooted every Motorola device for the past 1.5 years, so I actually understand the vulnerabilities that are used in each exploit and what capabilities are gained by exploitation of each vulnerability. After the release of each Motorola root exploit, the next Motorola build includes a fix for the vulnerability used. In this case, the JB build for Atrix HD has fixed all previously released vulnerabilities, so trying to reuse a previous exploit simply isn't going to work.

On the other hand, if you've found a way to delete /data/local.prop, there's a chance you have a useful exploitation capability that could be leveraged towards gaining root. If Jose is willing to share with me how he's accomplishing this, I'd be happy to share my opinion on whether or not this capability is actually useful or if it's likely a dead-end. If Jose has truly found something new that leads to root, then by all means he can have the bounty.

Sorry to everyone whose messages I didn't respond to. As Matt said, I get swamped with emails and messages about rooting devices, and it's impossible for me to answer all of them in the interest of focusing on my real job and maintaining my sanity. If I decide to get involved in finding a new root exploit it's going to be on my terms alone, if I decide I have time for it. I will not be swayed by people begging me and offering up bounties. That being said, I wish you guys luck, I'm rooting for you (no pun intended). :p
[Motorola Atrix HD] TTLayland:
Yay he posted in here!

I still think the only person with the right to be upset is Dan himself. If he doesn't mind then why waste time getting tense over it?
[Motorola Atrix HD] OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF:
We still need root anyway....

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

Yes, but you can root 4.1.2 on Droid RAZR which was updated AFTER!! Atrix HD recieved 4.1 jellyBean update, SO i think Atrix HD maybe have the same holes is security as Droid RAZR.
[Motorola Atrix HD] wildchild048:
With all that out of the way let's hope jose can make it happen.
[Motorola Atrix HD] OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF:
Will wait what Jose can tell about it...
[Motorola Atrix HD] djrbliss:
The vulnerability used to root the 4.1.2 build for Droid Razr does not exist on this build for Atrix HD, or any of the other Motorola JB builds for that matter. It's one of the bugs used for Motofail on the Droid 4. They seem have made a mistake and neglected to patch it on the Razr, but it can't be used on the Atrix HD.

Also, don't let the SmartActions bit of the Razr exploit lead you down the wrong path. The vulnerability on Razr has nothing to do with SmartActions, that's just one way I figured out how to *exploit* a different vulnerability.
[Motorola Atrix HD] OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF:
Ok, then we will hope thats you will have time for rooting soon... Its very needed for this phone to swap SD card with internal memory (only 5 GB available)
[Motorola Atrix HD] TTLayland:
Dan regardless of if you work on this or not your insight is highly appreciated and more than likely a time saver for the up and coming developers on the web. Thank you so much for the previous root. Unfortunately some of us have rather curious friends that play with our phones LOL.
[Motorola Atrix HD] jose51197:
Yeah, I'll do that when we get root

[Motorola Atrix HD] sickkside13:

[Motorola Atrix HD] TTLayland:

[Motorola Atrix HD] TenguSnake:
I love mine, I got this after being an iPhone dude for some years. I don't understand why there aren't more devs, despite the bootloader issue.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
I don't think you know how big the "bootloader issue" is...
[Motorola Atrix HD] jose51197:
Same thinking here, I wonder what can happen if we dump a unlockable arrix and compare partitions and with root maybe rewrite it so it can be unlockable, I mean make all devices q dev edition
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
The engineering boot loader uses a different signature. Unlike Samsung and HTC, Motorola actually does a decent job at security. Win some lose some.
[Motorola Atrix HD] TenguSnake:
Of course I don't, and I don't claim to know either. I'm not a developer. Not to mention I only switched over in November. So sorry if I sound ignorant to someone of your stature..
[Motorola Atrix HD] TTLayland:
Mattlgroff, are you this negative (not flaming, I'm serious) because you think that this device has been locked down to the point of saying Motorola officially bested hackers. I'm honestly asking. I'm no developer so I have no idea.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
No power user or developer wants to buy a locked bootloader phone that the OEM has stated would be locked even before release. The Atrix 4G only had such a good community because they managed to unlock the bootloader.

EDIT: I think you were asking about how exploitable it is, and in many cases that is a good thing. I'd rather have an unlocked phone with no exploits, than a locked phone with exploits that can be used against the user. Some exploits can be used very maliciously...
[Motorola Atrix HD] OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF:
But we all need even root... BL is more hard to unlock, or not?

[Motorola Atrix HD] TenguSnake:
I doubt this would help with anything, but I was able to SSH into my phone using WinSCP. Not sure if this is irrelevant or not so I thought I'd share.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
Replacing the boot.IMG with an unsigned one will just soft brick the phone. The bootloader checks the images on flashing and on boot. Even if you replaced it using cat, dd, whatever with root, its still checked on reboot.
[Motorola Atrix HD] TTLayland:
What other methods wont work Matt?

It would save us time if you shared.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
I've already shared my experience in the partition research thread you have linked actually...

Even if root, Motorola does Sig checks on flashing and on boot for most if not all partitions. Boot logo and CDROM partitions are not Sig checked on boot, and you can change them with root and have no troubles afterwards.

I put my own iso in the CDROM partition so I have my phone mount that whenever it plugs into the computer instead of the Moto cast install crap.

If you have new things to add to the partition research then post in the thread :D
[Motorola Atrix HD] TTLayland:
Thank you matt!
[Motorola Atrix HD] xXckkillerXx:
Looks like your on to something. I tested it out and it closed and restarted my phone when typing "Y" in the password field, although I don't have root, I feel like your close. May just be me being optimistic because I want to play with the CM10 ports and have no root.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
Dropping out of the Atrix HD game.

Here someone in China can downgrade from 4.1 to 4.0 with AT&T version. Maybe it will help.

He bought it here http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.5.0.40.sdQ42d&id=15839118382

in the description its says locked bootloader.
[Motorola Atrix HD] djrbliss:
Root

I have a vulnerability that can be used to gain root access on the Jelly Bean build for Atrix HD. I've confirmed that it works on a test Atrix HD.

My current issue is a question of strategy. This vulnerability works on all Motorola devices running Jelly Bean. Currently, the other Motorola 4.1 devices (Razr/Razr Maxx, Razr M, and Razr HD) already have root access, either via a specific exploit or by the ability to downgrade to ICS, root, and re-upgrade.

In theory, this vulnerability should work on Motorola 4.2 builds (when they come out), and on any upcoming Motorola devices. There aren't even any rumors for the next Motorola devices, besides the "X" phone, which is supposedly a Nexus device (so it won't need a root exploit).

So, the choice is between giving you guys this root exploit now, or waiting until more devices that need root are on the market. Try to understand that there are only something like 10 of you who want root and managed to upgrade without keeping root from ICS, and potentially hundreds of people who could need root in the future. I'll let you know what I decide to do.
[Motorola Atrix HD] wildchild048:
Could you send the ones that need it privately.
[Motorola Atrix HD] sickkside13:
What release root exploit my friend . So we can get this forum full of roms
[Motorola Atrix HD] djrbliss:
Whether or not I release this exploit will not make any difference. Developers are mostly not interested in this device because it has a locked bootloader, and because it was never a top-seller. Additionally, 98% of users who want root already have it because they followed instructions before upgrading to Jelly Bean.
[Motorola Atrix HD] sickkside13:
I see what u mean and its true my friend i just think we would have some what a better community here and i hope u change ur mind soon
[Motorola Atrix HD] OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF:
Many of us bought new atrix HD with jellybean preinstalled from the box!! So we stuck on unrooted 4.1! And this is very terrible, because we can not swap SD card with internal memory (only 5 GB available for apps)! And if no one want root 4.1 - thats there will be no root Bounty thread 600$! Please! If you can not publish this exploit then pls send it to some of us private! We are duying for root!
[Motorola Atrix HD] topdawg661:
Hmmm tough choice and I completely understand. Whatever you choose though, thank you for all your help in the Motorola developer community. Motorola phones would probably be dead in the development area if it wasn't for you.

Sent from DAT Atrix HD waiting for DAT sweet root.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marcelarr:
My previous device was a Motorola Bravo, I was running CM10 on it quite smoothly. It is a similar phone dev wise, to the Defy. The Bravo community is still developing roms for it (most of them have been adapted to the device from the defy version...), even when it was released all the way back en 2010 and it has a locked bootloader. It was not a high selling device nor that popular originally, but boy has that changed! All of this happened thanks to the work of a lot of people putting their grain of sand in the development (rooting and roms). Without this the device probably would not even have a forum on xda. I understand your strategy question... but think what your exploit could do to this forum. If its a question of money, I would certainly be willing to contribute more to the bounty. Im still on ICS and have ability to root, and am still willing to pledged some money for the bounty because I like the phone and want to promote development.
[Motorola Atrix HD] OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF:
Totally agree! We need that root, SIR!
[Motorola Atrix HD] djrbliss:
Ok, I've decided to publish it.

Unfortunately, the process for rooting is a bit more involved this time. Do any of you guys have sysadmin (or at least Linux) experience?
[Motorola Atrix HD] EcHoFiiVe:
I'm already rooted but I could help out, I've got somewhat of Linux experience. I have a Linux machine and I could test your exploit for you. About sysadminning, im a bit of a hacker for computers so ive got some knowledge in that area as well. If you want, PM me!
