[Atrix 4G Android Development] G1-8701:
ok nevermind i got it working, but when i clicked unRoot.bat it ran then it told me to press any key to continue and i did, but after i did nothing happened, i rebooted my atrix and it seems as if it's still rooted, how can i tell if it unrooted successfully?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
Run Titanium or Root Checker. Either one will tell you if you have root.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] G1-8701:
Ok so I still have root :(, can I just do a factory restore without bricking it, I really just wanna get this gingerblur rom off that slowed down my phone
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
I believe that a factory reset will not remove GingerBlur. You will either have to flash sbf or push the original files through adb. I haven't done either of them so you'll have to find someone to explain further.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] G1-8701:
ok i successfully unrooted, did a factory reset and gingerblur is still there, i rerooted using aRoot and now my home button doesn't work
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
try turning it off and pulling the battery and then put it back in and restart
[Atrix 4G Android Development] G1-8701:
thanx for the help, i installed the Adeo rom and everything is fine now, my phone is smooth like it used to be, the gingerbread launcher was still there, but i got launcher pro plus, i got my motoblur and stock android widgets, so now i'm good once i fully figure out launcher pro plus so i can change the notification bar to black and change the battery
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I want a definitive answer by someone that knows.

Can aRoot work on a Canadian Bell Atrix? Can it Unroot as well?

The Bell Atrix allows sideloading without root. Will aRoot work properly and not damage this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
I believe aRoot has been confirmed for the Bell Atrix. The unroot though, I'm not sure
[Atrix 4G Android Development] yyduinihao0:
Both adopt and unroot work perfectly on bell atrix. I know this because I just did it with my bell atrix today. Hope this help.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dodolom:
Does this method Unlock the phone by any chance or is there any method for unlocking this phone?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
If you mean unlocking to work on another cell phone carrier then no this does not do that.

You can go to cellunlock.net or if you have a Canadian Atrix you can get Bell to do it. It will be more expensive at bell.

Root Checker Confirms - No Root

Wierd - I ran ARoot successfully, or so it seemed, followed all directions.

I ran root checker and i don't have a root. Ran Aroot again - same deal.

Running windows xp. Phone followed the sequence including reboot.

What am I missing?

Note - I've got the drivers - i've read the posts....My phone was not modified in any way prior to trying the root.

The applications were installed, i rebooted several times - but still no root.

I am trying to Unroot and then root again.

Unroot did not proceed - makes sense - wasn't rooted

Tried unrooting - proceeded very quickly to flashing red light. Rebooted automatically then manually rebooted 3 times. Still No Root - Confirmed with RootChecker

***Still trying to debug- but noted that Aroot runs to completion without the phone even connected??? WTF?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dodolom:
Yeah, that's what I mean by unlocking. So it doesn't unlock it for another carrier.

Got it, thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] XanSama:
I can confirm that there is no error checking and the script depends on the TIMEOUT function/program that is not present in Windows XP.

If the script is not working for you, do two things:

1) Make sure you can connect to the phone with ADB.

2) Edit the batch file and replace the "TIMEOUT 10" and "TIMEOUT 2" lines with "PAUSE".

Once you have done those two things, run the script again and when it says "Press any key to continue..."the first time count to ten in your head before you press a key. When it says it again, count to two before pressing anything.

Should work. Could do something more complicated like use ping to count to ten seconds, but this gets the job done.

Note for Bell users: This script works fine for Bell phones, but you probably want to remove the following lines

Forced Close on Contacts

I rooted fine everything is working great, but I'm getting a forced close on Contacts. Doesn't matter wheither I select Contact from home screen or thru Apps. They're in there because I can see them thru text messages.

Anyone have a suggestion for getting a forced close on Contacts.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jarsh92:
Did you just root or have you already frozen stuff. If you have only rooted, I would try a few rebooted to see if that clears it up, if not I guess I would try to unroot to see if that fixes it then try root again. Haven't heard about this happening to anyone else though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tacginc:
I haven't read it anywhere either.

I tried backing off a few apps then unroot, but no success. What I'm in the middle of now is a UNROOT, FACTORY RESET, then ROOTing first, then install Titanium & Root Exployer and the rest of my apps wtih testing the Contacts along each step and it appears to be working correctly now. Just sucks having to start fresh, but a sometimes fresh starts are good. :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TinyRK:
Anyone having problems wit OLYFR_U4_1.5.2_SIGNED? I can't root the Atrix with aRoot :(

Connected with ADB etc.... Rooted with OnceClick before, but aRoot doesn't work now properly.

SuperUser APP is installed, Titanium and CPU Launcher are *****ing about not getting ROOT-access.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sirfratly:
I was planning on leaving my Atrix unrooted. Then I found out it had no sideloading, and a crippled market. Not to mention a ton of bloatware. Because of aRoot, these problems are fixed, and I get the additional goodies of root. Thank you very, very much.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SysAdmNj:
I had to do this twice, first time I got this far

Getting temporary root access...

Mounting /system as read/write ...

Cleaning up onclickroot mess ...

Rooting your device ...

Installing Superuser app ...

Installing sqlite3 ...

Enabling sideloading ...

Enabling tethering ...

Enabling init.d support ...

Rebooting ...

Press any key to continue ...

Yet nothing happened, phone stayed as is, screen on, it didnt rebooot.

2nd time, when it got to the Rebooting ... part , it took a lil while but it finally reboot and now I have root :)

How do I get install from unknown sources option under application settings?

Or you cant get this option on the atrix, only sideloading via adb install or how ever?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DarrellRaines:
It's autoenabled so you don't have to do anything.

Thanks DG. Easiest Root I have come across yet.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mattyv:
It worked!!!!

XanSama - you da man - it worked....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BigBolo:
After I installed aRoot I had the "Free Tether" under APN's and now it's gone. Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DFWGringo:
I having problems with WiFi Tether. I can't see a AT&T Free Tether, but I do have the AT&T US Tether and if I select that one and turn on the Tethering it switches to AT&T US. This seems to work, but I have had problems when I select the APN that is just AT&T. This one also seems to work, but when I turn the Tethering off and try to turn it back on it won't turn on and I have to reboot to get it to work. Can someone please verify which one we should be using?

DG, thanks for the great work!

Edit: Can anyone please help me out, and let me know which APN is the correct one to select for WAP Tethering? :confused::confused:

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EclipseX:
i've a probleme....I download the file, and run the aRoot.bat....have a few menssages in cmd prompt but...my device never reboot

I already try many times
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tacginc:
This happens if your phone is not set to USB Debugging or you don't have the drivers installed (and, run as Admin on PC). I have Win 7 64bit and it works fine all the way up there. So confirm you have the correct Atrix drivers and set USB Debuggin on. On Atrix, Setting>Applications>Development>(check)USB Debugging.

Also, having done this a couple times with weird results, I would recommend (others have their opinons, but start with a clean Atrix) you do a Factory Reset first, then the very first thing you do next (beside set debuggin on) is aRoot the device, install Titanium Pro and Root Explorer (in that order) starting both apps after install. Then, start loading your apps testing critical things like contacts, calendar and finger swip along with their settings each time. This has given me the most stable aRoot to work with. Good Luck!!!:)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] akdnj88:
I have tried to aRoot twice, both times it went smoothly without errors but when I use Root Explorer to check, the busybox still exists. How come?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Busybox is supposed to be there. SuperOneClick installed it TWICE, which was the issue. This script cleans it up and makes sure there's only one instance.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] akdnj88:
awesome! Thank you for your reply. I'm an Android newb, coming from iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. And one more thing, I'm supposed to root with aRoot with the phone in Mobile Portal mode, correct? Thanks again!

Confused

I'm sorry but I can't figure out this "sideloading" I ran 'aroot' and I'm rooted but i'm confused about how to enable non-market apps. Shouldn't I be able to install something like the "amazon app store" on my phone? I keep getting the security warning. Thanks for your help
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blaque72:
try rebooting the phone..but first was it a successful root did the phone do the whole blinking red LED thing?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dmbrown81:
I'm not sure...I just know I'm rooted after doing this. Should I do it again?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tacginc:
You'll have to run ADB INSTALL (put apk file here) from command prompt. Just move files to the same temp folder as aRoot and run under command prompt.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tacginc:
You all need to get Titanium Backup and Root Explorer from market. Install and run. If youre rooted it'll tell yes or no.

Update for 1.5.7?

Hey guys. Any news on this being updated for OLYFR_U4_1.5.7? I just installed this new update and I want to test if it has improved anything after rooting.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Made2Last:
Odd. Script ran through fine(on XP) rebooted my Atrix, and SuperUser was on the app tray. but when I downloaded the free version of Titanium Backup, it gives me an error for not being able to acquire root privileges.

I am going to click through the unroot and see what happens. I didn't realize I was going to need to purchase rootexplorer to enable sideloading, so no use in having it rooted anyway at this point. Just thought it was odd.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live_free:
So this is all I need to root my device and be able to use gingerblur?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] varun124:
You don't need this for gingerblur, or anything else but a stock phone.

Gingerblur will automatically root your phone, but there have been issues where it didnt root it properly in which case you can use aroot AFTER the gingerblur install.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] akoni1p:
I have already used superoneclick to Root since launch. Should I unroot and use aRoot instead now?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
You can just run aRoot over super one click. aRoot actually fixes superOneClick
[Atrix 4G Android Development] akoni1p:
Thanks for the info. What was wrong with the superoneclick method?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
SuperOneClick installs a second instance of Busybox, which is already on the phone from the factory. aRoot will clean up the second installation and prevent anything that uses Busybox from getting confused.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] giozera:
my Atrix not geting rooted

I got my second Atrix today because of voice quality issue Att replaced it for me and I would say the problem I had with voice is gone for now. but now I'm trying to root new one. process goes fine no problems restarts but there is no superuser installed and there is no root access. I did used SuperOneClick for my first device and I did not had this issue. I have done rooting many times with other devices and familiar with the process. I have same stock rom 1.2.6 nothing new. what should I do? I followed steps as it is in first post. any tips? thanks

Edit: Rooted Now! :)

I reinstalled drivers on Win 7 than unrooted restarted phone and rooted again, restarted phone again and it was rooted now. I dont know which one of those steps actually helped, but something happened right this time.

This is what I'm getting. I have been searching the forums with a fine tooth comb to find out what I'm doing wrong. I have download SDK installed fine. Installed Moto drivers, tried unmount and mounting my internal phone space. SD card is out. ADB interface comes up in device Mgr.

Also tried doing the ADB DEVICES and it shows me a serial number. I had ran Aroot about 50 times. So I got the text file for it to see what is it doing and came up with whats above there.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Grab either of my GladiAtrix Rome and run the root through that. It's a cleaner install through ADB. At the end when it asks you to install the rom just say no. Or yes, if you like.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sabesh:
Rooted, but not really .. Help, please.

I rooted, apparently successfully:

However, I get this message when I launch Titanium Backup:

However, Root Explorer runs fine.

I get this when I run root-checker:

Is there a way to get Titanium Backup to work? Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tacginc:
@Sabesh

Either you don't have the correct drivers installed or you are not in USB Debug. When us insert the USB cable you should see the little Android bug on the top bar. if you don't its not in USB Debug.

1) Get correct drivers

2) Select USB Debugging setting from Development tab

3) From the Top bar make sure USB is also set for NONE.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] quordandis:
I had a similar problem, and I think it had something to do with BusyBox. I reinstalled busybox through the busybox installer to /system/bin and then reloaded Titanium Backup and it was happy again!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] sabesh:
Yep, all this done.

Can't install Busybox Installer, as it says "Root access not detected".

[Atrix 4G Android Development] jpinoy:
Have you tried SuperOneClick method to rooting your phone? I used that before using aroot, and actually, I didn't have any problems with either.

Right now, rooted with aroot, and wifey's is rooted using SuperOneClick, and haven't had any problems with either method... hth..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] quordandis:
Yeah, it sounds like you're not actually rooted....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sabesh:
ATT version.

I initially rooted with with SuperOneClick. However, Titanium gave me errors. I tried unroot via SuperOneClick, but got stuck @ "Running psneuter...".

I did a hard reset, but still see the Superuser icon. I can't unistall it. I then rooted via aRoot and am still have the Titanium Backup issue. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] maxcc:
worked like a charm here on my Bell Atrix... It was my first time rooting a device since this is my first android phone!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jpinoy:
If you're not too worried about setting up your phone again, I would do a factory reset/recover to get rid of anything that might have got messed up when you first initially tried to root.... that's just me though, no sure how you feel about doing a factory reset...

Make sure android market account is showing all the apps you installed, and you should be able to just reinstall them once you setup your phone again...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tacginc:
@Sabesh

Here's my recommendation: Factory Reset Phone, aRoot, install Titanium Backup (run it and load updates), then install Root Explorer (run it and load updates).

My first aRoot I had weird problems and it probably was because of all the crap I installed and settings. I did my above recommendation to start fresh and it worked fine. But, even though I had USB debugging selected when inserted the USB cable the first time, it turn it off for some reason and I got exactly what you got. I just when right in and switched it back to debugging and ran aRoot with success.

One thing to note: uninstall Motorola Media Sync. This will screw you up when inserting the USB cable. When I inserted the cable it would switch my USB setting to Motorola Portal and I could not get it to stay on NONE. Uninstalled and I then had control over USB settings when inserting cable.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sabesh:
Thanks, will try. Did you still see Superuser after your hard reset? (Before rooting again).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tacginc:
No. I actually got a root the first time. It just acted weird like things would work then not. Then, I would have force closes on critical apps. So, I decided to unaRoot (cuz I had a root) and then Factory Reset.

I did everything in that order I described for you and in more detail in an earlier post on this thread. But, make sure you test critical stuff (contacts, calendar, finger swip) after each app install.

But, everything was clean after factory reset - no superuser, no busybox nothing just AT&T stuff

So, run UnaRoot - won't hurt, then do the factory reset.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sabesh:
It didn't work. Anyways, now I know why this is happening to me:

Thanks DG. Worked perfectly !
[Atrix 4G Android Development] FUZER384:
I will try that later on tonight.

Question though......

When you guys connect your phone on your Win7 PCs and find it in the Device Mgr and look in the properties for the drivers are they assigned by Microsoft?

I have the ADB driver that is from Motorola but every other driver for the phone is from Microsoft.

Also after I install the Moto driver 4.90 the Moto Helper service asks me to update the drivers from I believe 2.40 to 2.44 or it could be 46. I'm at work right now.

Should I be installing these updated drivers from Moto Helper or keep the original ones.

I believe my issue could be a driver related one. Its just so many versions of these Moto drivers.

umm nope but there is a way to do it but you have to flash your cell first

flash http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991072

here is 1.2.5 webtop http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1015630

you have to flash first then run the root from that post but follow the directions

i had to do it to my phone because you cant have the webtop mod to update and depends on what root you cant have that either lol

but basicly yea flash your phone then use the root then update then use the after update and you would have rooted 1.2.5
