Yes it does. Great work!

I'm really surprised Motorola didn't patch it, unless the ADB source code for accessing ro_secure isn't available.

I'm planning on getting an Atrix4G maybe next week (depending on the donations), and I really want to take a crack at this signed bootloader.

Can't we just replace the certificate and replace the partition with a newly signed one?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] novaIS350:
I'm still looking for an answer as well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] KryptosXLayer2:
Looks like I got it working - keep at it and make sure to follow the directions at the end that were not copied over (may sound obvious, but I sure didn't think to hit Menu > Save):

It took about 2 or 3 restarts before I got it working, and then you can go into the settings and change the SSID and set it to WPA2-PSK protection. Remember, just like most Mobile Hotspot applications on the phones, the password requires a 10 digit numerical entry, so "password1" isn't gonna fly this time around.... Good luck, sorry I can't really help, but be patient and you'll get it working! Just fired it up for the second time and it's good to go now for sure.

The iPhone does not get tethering for free. It's $20 additional monthly.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] KryptosXLayer2:
Huh.... I just checked it out for myself - the AT&T "salesman," if you could call him that, told me yesterday that it was free for iPhone and all other phones had to pay for it. But yeah, you're right.... What do they pay these guys for if they're just going to spout off wrong information all the time? :confused:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Smith7018:
The guy lied to you, iPhone users have to pay $20 on top of what they normally pay. I would know, I owned an iPhone for 3 years and some change :P

I am about to try this out with my new atrix. Thanks for all the hard work guys.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
You should throw support questions over here to keep this thread cleaner.

As far as your question goes, try this process in Windows 7:

- Plug in phone, it will install drivers.

- Click on USB notification and choose Motorola Phone Portal

- It now may install more drivers

- Install the drivers linked over at the beginning of the guide

- Plug in your phone and get it to work with the Motorola Media Link application

- Restart computer and phone

No, you don't really have to do all of this to get it to work. But, this is the most foolproof way to make sure every driver is installed. Alternatively, you can try your luck with the 64-bit or 32-bit drivers in the guide's prerequisites section!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] b1indsided:
so i plugged my phone in and most of the drivers installed correctly, i used motohelper and the phone portal works properly too. but i did see that the adb portion of the drivers didnt install when i put the phone in usb debugging and so whenever i run the super one click i get an error. any help on what to do? i have a windows 7 64 bit comp
[Atrix 4G Android Development] domin8:
did you extract all the zip files from the super one click download to 1 folder? the adb files are in there, so as long as youve unzipped all and put them in the same place the adb shouldnt error. try that and see if it works :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mp2ning:
Check if you are using the USB ports on the back of the PC (attached directly to motherboard). On some PC's using the front panel USB ports gives problems when flashing phones or using ADB!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Shad0w2626:
Does Wireless tethering work with the custom APN settings and rooting?

Can anyone confirm? I'm planning to go return my Inspire 4G to exchange for the Atrix in a few hours :confused:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] KryptosXLayer2:
It works WITHOUT rooting - read the first post and this thread
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Shad0w2626:
Thanks, I might go through and exchange my Inspire for the Atrix!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sdlopez83:
before you do that check out the lack luster performance on downloading and uploading speed.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ram130:
The problem is with AT&T network and the devices that negotiates with it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Exador:
Download speeds are fine, I'm sure there will be solutions to the slow upload speeds soon, but that's not an issue for most people anyway. The Atrix is just a much better phone than the Inspire. The inspire is just a rebadged Evo which would of been great if they released it last year. Also consider that the Atrix will benefit much more from Gingerbread than the inspire will.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sdlopez83:
I wish I could say that my download speeds are barely reachin 1mbps

We get you don't like the phone, move on already.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jaypeezee:
Sorry for the dumb question(s):

If we follow the directions for the Tether hack, will this allow us to use native tethering on the Atrix without paying for the feature to AT&T ?

Also, whats the benefit of doing this instead of rooting and installing wireless tether ?

Thanks again, sorry for the noob question - im an EVO user trying to setup my dad's ATRIX.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sdlopez83:
dude im getting 500 down at best. I am very unhappy and want to do anything to help out my situation before I return it. There is alot wrong here besides that as well with att and the phone. If these things can be fixed that would be great. Its got so much potential yet we are getting the shaft so many ways.

ps im not your guy, pal
[Atrix 4G Android Development] edgeicator:
Returning it will do you no good.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thatoneguy247:
Is this why my iphone 4 pulled 4.64Mbps down and 1.10 today?

I'll test with my Atrix when I get it tomorrow, but my understanding was that reaching HSPA+ from an HSPA device was merely a matter of a software update. I assume that 4.5+ down is more than normal 3g speeds... but I could be wrong.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SNadler:
Is there a mod to allow tethering to work while on the Edge network? I am sometimes stuck at a location with only edge....

Anyone here lost ADB after rooting?

Every time i connect the phone and try "adb devices" i am seeing the device connected but status is "offline" and i am not able to do anything with adb and this device.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] azwildfire:
Yup - same thing happend to me. I even tried different ADB drivers.

Phone also doesnt fully boot every 3rd or 4th reboot. sits at AT&T screen.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ApplCobbler:
Can the SuperOneClick be used to unlock the phone as well? I might just take my phone and switch to T-mobile if the bull**** with data continues.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] b1indsided:
THANK YOU! IT WORKED!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NguyenHuu:
my adb is semi-messed up. I can do "adb devices" and it sees my phone. But i cannot do "adb remount". It says failed.

EDIT: I google and found this article: http://modmymobile.com/forums/403-m...x-remount-failed-operation-not-permitted.html

It seems to happen with the atrix just like it did with the cliq in that article. When I use superoneclick to do shell root, it allowed me to remount adb, however, when I restarted, I lost the ability again. Even after doing the full root instead of shell root from the superoneclick tool, i still get the same results after reboot.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kikkiraj:
Thousand thanks to Fixter, it works ! on my Atrix

Those who are getting stuck on "Setting up Data Link" i've found what I believe is a workaround.

While it's hanging on "Setting up Data Link" go toggle your APN to a default APN for 10 - 15 seconds then change it back to the Custom APN, that seems to reset the attempt to connect for me and fixes the issue.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ram130:
lol wow..you will be getting EDGE on T-Mobile since the Atrix doesn't have the AWS 3G bands.. Much worst speeds..just for the record, when I had the Nexus One and Vibrant I was pulling 4-7mbps down and 1.7mbps up..none of which are HSPA+ devices. This just shows T-Mobile built their network on fiber from the grown up.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ApplCobbler:
Right, but they have HSPA+, though. Would I not be able to get HSPA+ on t-mobile with this phone?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Andrmgic:
You would not.

At&t and T-Mobile use different frequencies for 3G.. the phone doesn't support both..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Immix:
No because Tmobile uses different bands (1700 and 2100) as opposed to ATT (850, 1900 and 2100). The phone has 850, 1900 and 2100.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bsinc1962:
No, the two networks use different HSPA+ frequencies. T-Mo is 1700MHz and ATT is 850/1900MHz.

Wow you guys are quick. lol

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rred:
Not quite. The retail phone has

Home

Settings

Wireless & Mobile Networks

STOP: The next menu you need is WIRELESS & MOBILE SETTINGS.

The more obvious choice of "WiFi HotSpot" will go out to "validate".

If you haven't subscribed, you'll just get a notification to call 611 to order it.

Then select MOBILE NETWORKS.

Now you can select Access Point Names as a submenu under Mobile Networks.

Following the suggestions...There is no menu option for MMS PROTOCOL, it cannot be entered. And the 310/410 entries populate themselves.

Completing the rest, thre's a critical point some of us newbs might not guess:

Hit the Android MENU button again, select SAVE. (Well, yes, that's not obvious.)

If you just back out without saving, you get garbage.

But what else am I missing?

It's going to be "something simple, stupid", right? <G>

Selecting Mobile Hotspot and trying to enable it just brings up the notification message "not validating" to call 611 and enable it.

System version: 4.1.26.MB860.ATT.en.US

Android version 2.2.1

Baseband version N_01.77.OSP

Moto webtop version OSHWT_U1_4.257.14

Did you select the new AT&T APN you created under APN settings so that the green selection indicator is on the right? Just do that and back out. Seems to be pretty dandy!:D

Didnt see anything stated about Side loading APK files in the original post, but just so everyone knows you can use the "Sideload Wondermachine" on a completely stock Atrix to sideload apps. Hope this helps!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] NguyenHuu:
it was in the video. if you open the oneclick root app, there's a button to enable sideloading. you do it right before you reboot your phone after it finishes rooting.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ApplCobbler:
On the access point creation menu, I don't have this option to edit, it goes from the port to the MCC. :confused:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] iceman4357:
What my point was, is that for people who are scared to root, or dont care to root can still sideload their Atrix with an easy application. :)

ul data set to expire

I checked my account today and it says my unlimited is going to expire 4/8/2011! Would this have anything to do with the new APN?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rred:
Well...The APN had self-selected itself after being created, IIRC, so that wasn't the problem. From yesterday to today, no change, no reboot...but TODAY when I enabled the hot spot--it didn't complain!

I'm not sure what changed, but something apparently has/did. So thanks for the nag [sic].

And maybe someone can revise the original instructions, with those corrections as to the steps and prompts updated? At the top of the thread?

I'll give them 24 hours to do their system posts at AT&T and check to see if this makes the billing change. (They batch process after midnight apparently.)

Got the atrix yesterday, was of course curious about the tethering with the new apn, got it working but am worried about having inadvertently switched away from my grandfathered unlimited data plan.

Thank you
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scottrleo1:
Havent people been doing this on other phones??

Is there any reason to think AT&T would detect this and automatically add tethering to your plan? Seems odd they would/could do that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Aielman:
You have to take the new plan when you buy the phone. They won't, or at least they say they can't, complete the transaction for the phone, as an upgrade to your account, unless you do.

As a matter of fact I got politely chewed out for using a plan that was meant for feature phones on my "pda phone" in the first place, and was told that it would have to be changed even if I didn't buy the phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tomlee337:
Does it seem like you get faster speeds with the tethering settings other than the normal stock settings?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Smokeaire:
I may be miss reading your post...if so my apologies. If you are grandfathered in the unlimited data plan you get to keep it if you upgrade to the Atrix. You are just changing phones, not data plans. I went from the Nexus 1 to the Atrix, and retained my unlimited data plan. So did my wife going from the iphone to my N1.

Tether won't broadcast

I did the Fixster apn tether setup and although it shows the it is connected it can't be seen by other devices. I had the real tether turned on by At&t but when I read the thread I canceled it. Also, I don't have a box for mms protocal. What's up with this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Smokeaire:
There isn't "mms protocol", ignore that part of the instructions.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rred:
"You are just changing phones, not data plans."

Here's the rub. Mot of the carriers, and most of the new phones, are sold with the phone print in the contract "must be sold and used with a compatible data plan".

To me "compatible" means it will work. To them...I don't remember what AT&T has changed it to now, but it is sold for use on specific data plans and voice plans now, basically you have to agree to buy the bundle. Which gives them the right to change your service.

"It's my football we play by my rules." Yeah, right. But that's what it is.

I don't think it is the phone you need to fix. But the setup information is always going to be carrier specific, you'll need to know the information for your carrier.

OK, I finally read down to msg. 242 and the comments that this is a false positive--but are the folks sayng that aware that "this file can steal...and send..." all by itself?
