You are going to be waiting for a lifetime. You can't push it to system without root. It doesn't work as in installed app, only as a system app. This was already explained to you.

Unlock your bootloader and root or STFU.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Android Pizza:
How about you lighten up and back off?!

I am currently working on a way to make it sideload and work correctly. Maybe you didn't know that, maybe you did, but that's VERY unnecessary.

He can unlock and root at any time. Demanding people make a special way just for him is crazy. He is filling up root threads for other Moto devices doing this. So yes its necessary.

[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
Rooting voids your warranty plain and simple man. You can unroot after the fact but yeah no way around it.
[Motorola Atrix HD] hugoqueiroz94:
In Brazil root doesn't void the warranty.
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
The manufacturer is the one that covers the warranty and rooting is against their policy man.
[Motorola Atrix HD] hugoqueiroz94:
Man, i know my country, and the Motorola Brazil says: "the only way to void the warranty is unlocking the bootloader".

Root is allowed on "BRAZIL".
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
Then why don't you just root the Damn phone?
[Motorola Atrix HD] hugoqueiroz94:
Because i need the modded file manager.

My JB has a system apk named file manager, and doesn't have remote storage.

This is why i can't root the phone.

Q about rooting on JB

I have a friend of mine that has an Atrix HD on the latest JB build, but wants to go back to ICS. Can this phone be rooted on JB and rolled back to ICS without borking it? I'm seeing conflicting posts throughout this forum. If so, is this the method to use or the ICS method?

Need advice and help rooting the Bell Atrix HD Jellybean with this method, somebody please help. The method isnt working. Somebody please?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Byakko Custom:
Ohayo!

Advice:

Use Ubuntu, Live-CD/USB if possible. Install all dependencies, use Synaptic Package Manager if you want to as it's really just a GUI for the terminal way of installing but you'll still need terminal later. Be connected to Wi-fi on the PC. You'll also want to install adb-tools when you do this,

To access Terminal, Ctrl+Alt+T, or search from unity. (The Ubuntu Icon usually at the very top of the sidebar...)

Oh, and If you want to use the Live-CD/USB, this will help...

It let's you run a Virtual Box version of this directly from Windows, or you can boot into it when you start your PC.

If you need more help, please be more specific as to what you're having problems with...
[Motorola Atrix HD] adelsalem:
mint

could this done on linux mint
[Motorola Atrix HD] Byakko Custom:
It should "technically" work, as the instructions are made for Ubuntu, but the guide says any linux distro would work...

IIRC Mint uses gedit right?

Just follow all the instructions, take care of all dependencies and you should be fine.

Safestrap doesn't write over the stock recovery. It will give you a splash screen after the Motorola logo when you reboot your phone, and you can access Safestrap from that splash screen.

Rooted with no problem once i got wifi working on ubuntu 12.10.
[Motorola Atrix HD] NYSEAN1:
Finally I am rooted!!!!!

What an ordeal!!! But finally after working on it for two late nights, I got it through......

The instruction is so simple and super perfect....but ubuntu 12.10 and 12.03 screwed me up...I am not an experienced ubuntu user. Ubuntu 10.04 did the job,,,,only problem was I got error at install samba command...it won't install saying blah blah blah.....so outsmarted it by installing samba through ubuntu's built in software manager...the rest was a breeze thanks to Dan for his brilliant and simple instructions!!!

So, if you get trouble installing samba, use ubuntu software manager to install it and then go back to your terminal....

Copying and pasting the commands worked like a charm for me but be careful you are copying the whole thing when pasting double check and then hit enter.....I used LiveCD of Ubuntu 10.04

Thanks to L7iharsha for his advice to use ubuntu 10.04 to do this and thanks to everyone who tried to help me :)

[Motorola Atrix HD] bolverk:
I just got one of these phones in my hands today and having a devil of a time. Has there been a ROM update that makes the SMB mount smart enough to strip the permissions?

I have pwn set 6755 and owned by root:

-rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 63798 Feb 11 13:22 pwn

But the phone sees it 6755 owned by system:sdcard_rw:

-rwsr-sr-x system sdcard_rw 63798 2013-02-11 13:22 pwn

So of course I get a pile of operation not permitted, read-only filesystem, permission denied, file not found, etc, when I run pwn.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

There are not many custom ROMs for the Atrix HD. My favorite is Batakang ROM.

Also, if you'll be installing custom ROMs you'll need this.

[Motorola Atrix HD] TheOnlyMrVideo:
Using Fedora 14 Linux

First off, you all should know that the "sudo" command is not necessary. Just log in as root and now you can run any command:

<user-prompt>su -

When prompted, enter the root password and make sure you enter the minus sign, as that tells the su command that you want to completely switch to root. Once you are root, you run all of the commands without the "sudo" as part of the command.

As I have Fedora 14 (ya, I know it is out-of-date), I tried to bring up the samba server. With a Fedora install, samba is already on the system. But, make sure it is up-to-date:

yum update samba

If samba isn't on the system, instead of updating what you have, it will install it. Getting samba to start is also different in that you do the following:

/sbin/service smb start

These are the lines that I have either modified, or added, to the smb.conf file:

security = user
passdb backend = tdbsam
encrypt passwords = yes

[share]
path = /tmp/share
available = yes
valid users = brown
read only = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes

Since I am already on the system, there is no need for the guest account. Just replace "guest" with your account user name and of course, use your password. If you change the smb.conf file, you need to restart the samba server, or wait until it automatically rereads the file, after the timout, which could be a few minutes. So I just do:

/sbin/service smb restart

Make sure the firewall, it you have it running, allows samba connections.

That is all the good stuff. After that it all falls apart. While I can get authentication to work, access is denied to the directory.

I have a Solaris 10 server which does samba exporting of stuff to my Windblows boxes. The Linux box is supposed to replace it, but the damn hardware just powers off for no reason after being on for a while and the length of time between it turning off is drastically variable. But that is a whole other issue.

The phone has no problem mounting the Solaris samba shares. But while the phone can get into the Fedora samba, it says that the directory is empty. When I try and do a samba connection via the XP box, it too can authenticate and the mount point shows up in the file manager, but XP complains that access is denied.

I've tried all kinds of variation in the smb.conf file for the share, but every time it fails to allow access to the data.

I've even tried using the preconfigured [homes] and it too comes up with access denied.

This is really beginning to piss me off. Getting samba to work should not be this hard.

If anyone has a clue as to how to fix this, I would appreciate it.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
I've been working on an alternate samba rooting method as well. I'm able to get the Ahd to connect to the Defy, but when running the adb kill-server and pwn I get IO errors. At first I thought it was cause the adb for kill-server was for x86 Linux, but I soon realized any file was doing it. Samba app is called Samba Server by Ice Cold Apps. Since most of us already have a rooted Android phone, I'm thinking that root from previous phone could possibly work.

[Motorola Atrix HD] physivic:
I have a Linux Mint stick and a good amount of command line experience with various distros, but no access to the router. I live in an apartment complex that provides it.... I'll have to buy or borrow a router to do this.

BTW I had to waste a few hours setting all of this up... Could have been in a sticky, but it's not. Strange that so many complain "oh i wish ppl would srch b4 posting dum questions lololol" when the info just isn't clear at all. I got all the way thru the process before I realized

1. to root on jellybean, you have to be able to allow Samba connections thru WiFi. public, shared, provisional or paid WiFi connections will not suffice.

2. you also have to use a USB stick or LiveCD with a Linux distro

3. at least one person answering questions on here said it had to be Ubuntu 10.04, and that just isn't true.

So not only do you have to waste time searching for answers, but you have to know that some of the information you're reading is nonsense.

In any case many thanks to the talented folk who found the exploit. I would work to find a way to do it without an actual Samba wifi, but I'm busy working on other problems in the world. Like, why do manufacturers make this stupid stuff a challenge anyway? How could Motorola think they're helping the bottom line by making their phones a pain in the ass to operate? $350/month, about an hour or two per month talking time, and I'm still not allowed to tether my laptop. Bull**** artists... anyway many thanks to the hard workers here.
