I have looked throughout the multiple forums and can't find anything. I have rooted thanks to the tutorial and I'd really like to try out Hero.
If anyone knows that'd be cool.
I'm also wondering.. I rooted my phone last night...
Patiently hoping...
sadly nothing as of yet. We'll have to be patient a little longer I guess.
Some devs are working hard to make something boot on this device. Let's support them the best we can.

which devs?
my friend got a rom working on his rogers magic. im really jealous.
He used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4047014&postcount=18
This may help. Stumbled across it today, seems there has been a lot of Development done in the last week or two.

I attempted to flash my dream with TheDudesRogersTheme Rom and it was unsuccessful... However, something odd happened while trying to go back to H's root. I forgot to clear the system data and after installing H's root update on my dream, I rebooted fastboot and when the phone to the boot screen it was completely different (different boot chime and this time the Android (Chip I believe his name to be) popped up as well) and the Rom actually loaded. However... when I went through the setup wizard everytime it went to sync it would force close and leave me with a blank screen. I was able to get my phone back using nandroid, but I just thought this was very strange and wanted to pass it on to all of you and see if anyone has had anything similar happen.
I appologize if my terms or phrasing are incorrect. I am very much a noob to all of this, and I am certainly in no way a dev.
Thanks for all your hard work, it is certainly appreciated. Hopefully a stable Rom is up and running soon!
I am sorry that I didn't give an exact link to that Rom, I am not sure how to do that...
Also, just giving the dev that created that Rom props... TheDudeOfLife, sorry if I misspelled that.
same thing happened to me .. i flashed using TheDudes ROM and it got stuck on the Rogers screen I then recovered boot ans system img and it seems like some of the ROM remained ... i'm not sure how much of it did.
Haykuro's almost there..
Noticed Haykuro's twitter page today... Can't wait!!

"rogers peeps: you may be able to flash all sorts of craziness soon"
that's a good news!
There was a locked thread in development where someone asked if it would work. A lot of people replied (obviously without even knowing what they are talking about) that it wouldn't work.
it DOES work on the myTouch 3G's - I just did it on one.
It works on any android phone - but the current apk implementation flashes the 1.4 cyanogen recovery image so it only works on phones that image will boot (i.e. the HTC Dream, or the Sapphire... etc)
It's way easier to apply that than it is to apply the nbh downgrade... etc.
Cool
I posted the question in a wrong area im glad someone with a mytouch tried it i bricked my first mytouch
Worked
This worked for me also I am now on CyanogenMod v3.9.11.2 and it works very well.
TY Cyanogen!
ed
Works...but hesitant
This definitely works on the MT3G just tried it...whew glad it worked Still extremely hesitant on flashing new rom though. Dont know why even though I have a rooted G1. Perhaps I just love this phone too much to f*#$ it up

Now that I think about it...If you just use this to get the recov img the MT3G still has the "perfected" spl. So exactly will this allow you to flash any new ROMs? That is why the "goldcard" was used to trick it and flash to an earlier "non-perfected" spl which would then allow you to flash ROMs updated radio etc etc etc. Shed any light on this?
I know there can be risks when doing any kind of modding/hacking. What is the main risk with rooting the MT3G? Is it mainly an issue with the battery falling out or running out of juice? Or is the rooting process invasive enough (i know it is root = can touch everything) or unstable enough that there is a relatively high probability of an issue running the canned procedure?
I have my phone, love it, my wife would kill me if I wrecked it. I just want to know how likely I am to end up with a brick using this method.
Also a question to understand this procedure, if I run the apk and reboot normally then there is no lasting root, correct? I have to go into the recovery mode and flash over a new rooted rom for root to become permanent? Does this actually change the SPL on the MT3G, does it preserve the ability to flash other roms at any time in the future? I want to know if this is a one time open up your phone for rooting or if after I do this will I always have root.
Sorry for all the questions, but I have been lurking around and haven't found definitive answers to these questions. Thanks!
Dave
Dave, Ive used this method. However if you didnt notice in my previous post...the spl does NOT change. Which is why I questioned the ability to flash any ROMs. The more "complicated" method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133) requires a "goldcard" with an earlier version of the spl. Which I believe allows flashing to occur.
Yeah, I saw your post after I posted. I think this is great for a simple root I am thinking to have future rooting I will need the goldcard method anyway.
It would seem that this method should be able to modify the SPL since it is able to run as root, maybe not though...
I did mine last night and now doing my wifes MT3G and I was comparing cyanogen's vs stock and its night and day...no loading screen issues with cyan's build and keyboard response got better too...
LOL yeah Ii was thinking about the SPL if we can change it out? I kinda want to call my phone semi-rooted
so anyone flash a new spl/radio using this one click root? success? or no?

Just did it...1.33.2005/ also S-off. this is definitely legit and makes things a hell of a lot more easier than all those damn adb commands. Dont get me wrong at all I do appreciate all the work that was done by Haykuro and the other boys because without them Im sure this wouldnt be possible. Anywho...it works.
Okay. As newb as one can get with phone mods, etc. But it actually works. I dont know what the exact benefits of it are but I am running... Mod version CyanogenMod-3.9.11.2 per about phone. All my downloads are gone but it worked. I dont know what the difference/any limitations is for down the road, in comparison to the gold card method (I hope none), with this type of root but hey it actually worked and I would have kick my own a$$ if I bricked my phone. Thanks to folks who found this way and are their any "rooted" differences now that I am on cfw using this method for say updating to cyanogens 4.0 eventual release?
Alright, I took the plunge and it worked flawlessly!
I use the 1 click install via the market app called Recovery Flasher. I installed CyanogenMod 4.0.1 Stable. Zoom zoom zoom...
I thought I may have had an issue when I rebooted after flashing since it sat at the MyTouch 3G splash for a ton longer than normal. I had read it was normal for the first boot to take longer so I didn't freak out and pull the battery. I just let it come up and now I couldn't be happier.
If I remember reading correctly CyanogenMod has the fix for the root vulnerability used in this hack to root plugged. So, now that I have a rooted ROM and recovery 1.4 will I ever need to worry about having the dreaded "Perfect SPL?"
so easy a caveman could do it! a thousand times, thank you.
so its confirmed you can FLASH a different SPL with no problem ? cuz if so im gettin a mytouch ! lol
go for it

Oh, thanks for Quick Office.
This is not a 2.1 speculation thread, I just thought I'd ask it here with all that knowledge floating around.
WHEN (May 7th?) the 2.1 update is OFFICIALLY dropped, will rooted users be pushed the update? Or will it only go out to models registered as running 1.56.
ASSUMING one might want to upgrade and that push comes, you guys think updating might cause any harm to the phone? I'm thinking 1.56RUU..
I don't think I will partake in the official release, I can't imagine it being any better then what I have now, and what will come after that official release is dropped, however I have had this question for a while. So what do you guys think?
I don't think they can actually push a OTW update.....

It is not going to be OTA. It will not matter if you are running custom whatever or stock.
If you run the ruu.exe it will load the official 2.1 release on your phone. The only reason it may not work would be if you ran the 2.1 test ruu.exe and for some reason the official release's hboot is lower than 1.47.000 (the hboot that came with the test release).
Other potential nasty side effects you could get with your official release:
No root
Possibly never be able to root again, or at least stuck with no root until a new work around is found. This fully depends on whether old method is patched.
No custom recovery, no custom roms, no ability to flash .zips from recovery. This goes along with the lack of root.
Inability to run 1.56 ruu ever again due to updated hboot.

Couldn't have said it better myself! I would just suggest waiting until the cook of your preference updates his to include items from the official release.
And the single most important reason: No nandroid. Having a point in time backup is insanely important to me. If I ever have to return my phone and get a refurb, it's nice to know I've got a nandroid that will get me right back to where I was before I turned in my phone.
It won't be OTA as I have read in more than one place that Sprint limits OTA updates to 9MB. Since this will be close to or over 100MB it's going to be OTW.
I for one will not be updating to it. My phone is working perfectly as is and this would give me no additional functionality so why bother?
As for the whole rooting issue, I wish folks wouldn't be so scared of the new hboot. I used the RUU and I have custom recovery and can flash any ROM I want. Yes, I know the leaked RUU had root already, but I rerooted it properly and installed busybox and all that so I could use the phone how I wanted.
Anyway, sorry to get sidetracked there, my comment about being so scared of the new hboot is simply this...There is no way the new version will not be rooted sooner or later. Obviously Sprint and HTC would like us to not be able to root any phones but someone always finds a way. There is no way that the new firmware will not be rooted sooner or later. Just like how the Evo will get rooted, as will any newer phone released after it. It is inevitable that someone will figure it out especially with all the talented and experienced folks here working on it as soon as it's released.

One big disadvantage/advantage in our case, is that Linux is open source. Anyone who wants to find a root exploit, and is smart enough has the ability to find out where there is potential code to allow for one. So you are correct, my assumption is that we will find a root for it one day. BUT I do think that if the EVO drops soon after, all of the talent that can find one will be on it. Then again, some people are of the mind set "Leave no device un hacked" and it would bother people if they knew we didn't have root LOL
Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't we be able to simply use an older RUU (1.52, etc) to get the phone rootable again?
My intention was going to be to try out the new stock RUU for a bit, then re-flash with an older RUU, get root and RA recovery back on, then go back to Fresh Toast. Will this not be possible?

Not possible if the Hboot updates, which it probably will. Those here who tried the test leak 2.1 ruu.exe were unable to run the 1.56 ruu after.
There is an alternative to restore everything except the hboot from the 1.56 ruu here, but you cannot simply run the .exe. This method won't work if the official build has patched the ability to gain root (you won't be able to nandroid). In that case you will be stuck with official 2.1 only.
BTW, speaking from experience with the test build, ruu, hboot, etc.

Mater of semantics, politics, and Ideaologies.
Google has a half belief here, they like open, but they protect that damn search algorithim like its a sacred scripture - Last count I think 8 people on earth knew exactly how it worked.
So the disadvantage to google would be ungodly competition if it was released. Proprietary stuff is a win if you look for profits. Again...depends on which side of the spectrum you are on. Points can be argued either way.

Why is it that people still think open source means insecure? I don't claim to know how previous rooting techniques exploit Android, but I do know that 2 Linux distros have a higher government security rating than any other operating system. I assume most weaknesses in android have to do with the recovery and/or update code, which has nothing to do with Linux.

Yes, I know. Why do I want to unroot? Well, the AT&T Nexus One is stuck on 2.1 update 1 and the baseband of the phone is unlocked.
How can I return to bone stock so that I receive all OTA updates. I'm good with what google pushes out and really don't want to fool with homebaked updates.
Thanks!
Read my signature, follow "unroot/restore" guide.
Your bootloader has been unlocked, not baseband. So follow the guide for unlocked bootloader. Use FRG83G ROM straight from HTC.
Thanks. Doing this now.
Actually, do I just follow the "fastboot" method and that's it?
Yes. Having unlocked bootloader makes things easier...

The phone I have already has an unlocked boot loader (there is an "unlocked" lock image below the nexus image upon reboot).
I believe returning to stock is as easy as downloading a factory N1 image, re-naming it to update.zip (or is it passimg.zip?) and running it from the boot loader...right?
I'm actually afraid to do this for fear of bricking this thing. All I want to do is go to a stock version of Android from the current 2.1-update1 Build EPE54B rom that came with this N1 so I can OTA up to the current 2.2.2 (or whatever) official google version is out. I'd like to go OTA from here on out, which the phone will not do now (stuck on 2.1 and saying "your software is up to date").
Is it as easy as what I suggested or am I a mega-noob?
Sorry for giving you the wrong info, I miss read the thread. I havent ever unrooted would hate to give you the wrong advice on the proccess. Sorry Im not more help
Since you are rooted and nervous about bricking your phone you can do this.
Flash a custom recovery if there is not one already on the phone via rom manager. Then in rom manager back up your rom (nandroid) . There is even a stock rom in rom manager that you can download and install all in rom manager. That will put the default recovery back as well. The phone will then the OTA's to the latest one.
Or you can just flash any other rom etc. It is really hard to actually brick the phone.

Thanks. Downloaded the Rom Manager, and guess what? The phone isn't rooted (I don't know anything about it .... just received it used from eBay).
The boot loader is definitely unlocked though and it's stuck on 2.1.
I will figure out the one-click root and go from there. Is that the best advice?

I would go that route if I was you. It is very quick and simple and noob friendly. You could also use the guides the other posters put up to learn some things as well.
Not sure why your phone is "stuck" at 2.1 in the first place. But yeah rooting/rom manager should do the trick quickly and easy.
Turns out I was able to install superuser, so it's rooted. Not sure why Rom manager complained about it not being rooted.
This is a pain in the ass so far. I will just try to flash to a ~light~ 2.3 ROM. Don't want a bunch of battery draining stuff. Recommendations?
Also, I still want to go to bone stock so I can get google OTAs. Oh well. Maybe I'll figure it out one day.

The 2.3 ROMs aren't really "ready" yet, and I don't know if I would really recommend them to a new user. Very buggy. If you can get ROM Manager to work (which should be as easy as installing it from the Market if you have root), then go to "Download ROM" and find your way to CyanogenMod 6.1.1. It will ask you if you want to install gapps as well, and you should select yes.
Once a phone has been unlocked and had custom roms installed on it, there's no way to ever go back to completely stock with OTA updates unfortunately. CyanogenMod is probably the cleanest and most supported rom you can find, but another would be Enomther's (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614427).

Thanks. Well, I'm a total idiot. My passion.zip was passion.zip.zip. Nonetheless, the FAQ .zip original image file was "older than the currently installed version."
I'm done. I'm just going to play in the rooted 2.3 world. Currently downloading CyanogenMod's latest nightly for passion.
So, I am curious. Does this file I'm downloading update the radio and everything else? I'm certain the firmware versions for the radio, etc, are outdated.
Thanks.
EDIT: On second thought, is there a large reason not to go with a nightly? The latest stable version is two months old...I want clean and fast with minimal battery drain, etc.
You can always go back to stock and get the OTAs from Google. Only thing you can't do is relock the bootloader. ALWAYS can do it.

The only reason not to go with the nightly build is stability. CM7 isn't ready for general use yet, and there are a lot of problems still. Last time I used it the phone app was almost completely unusable and would lock up whenever someone called. It doesn't hurt to try it out though. You can always flash something else if it's not stable enough for you.

Nope, this isn't true. Once the signed boot loader is replaced, there's no more OTA's. You can get the notification that an update is available, but they wont install. Once the clockwork or ra_recovery are installed, OTAs will never work again. There is currently NO way to go back to 100% stock on a Nexus One.
Jesus. I'm going to jump off a bridge.
I successfully installed the STABLE CM6 update (radio update, google apps). My GD N1 keeps rebooting.
WHERE can I find a stable 2.2.2 or 2.2.1 stock ROM and end this madness. All I want to do is use this phone. It's currently possessed.

its not defective and at this point its just a matter of time until you fix it.
If you still want to be stock, ignore below and follow the links to restoring the stock rom above.
a) do you have a custom recovery installed? (i.e a nice navigable menu) if not flash one from a terminal/shell (on your desktop) in fastboot mode (power+trackball to start the phone, choose fastboot)
b)since you dont have much to lose, wipe everything after rebooting into recovery mode.
c)flash any ROM that works with your phone. (the LCD nexus ones need a different version I think)
When you install a stock rom it overwrites the custom recovery everytime it boots. It always does this. The unlocked boot loader is irrelevant the OTA's.
He or anybody else can flash a stock rom and get the ota.

Jesus. I'm going to jump off a bridge.
I successfully installed the STABLE CM6 update (radio update, google apps). My GD N1 keeps rebooting.
WHERE can I find a stable 2.2.2 or 2.2.1 stock ROM and end this madness. All I want to do is use this phone. It's currently possessed.
(I'm beginning to think it's defective...)

Try this: http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...le_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip
Look, I've tried and tried. I don't get it. I think my Atrix 4G bootloader is unlocked, i have SU installed, ROM manager, Titanium Backup works... but i can't get CWM to back up or to flash a ROM. I try and do a backup with CWM or flash a rom and i always get the Android with exclamation mark. I give up. You people are smarter than me. The forums are a MAZE. Half the links for various files and instructions don't even work anymore. What will it take to get someone to get me what i want!?!?!?
Please don't give me a link and say "go here" or "try this", because i've clicked on 100's of those type links and the instructions either do not make sense to my pee size brain or are incomplete or inaccurate.
Give me a fair price. I'll Paypal you the money - if it works (yeah, you'll have to trust me, tough).

I can help you but you do know that ICS isnt very stable yet and if ur not good with this kind of stuff shouldnt do it yet. But the ICS/JB without HW acceleration and working video recording and webtop work good. But if you still want to do it let me know ill help and let me know which ROM you want
@OP - OK for starters let's check to see if your bootloader is unlocked.
Turn off your phone and power it back up. Does it say "unlocked" in the top left hand corner? If so it's unlocked. It could still be technically unlocked without saying unlocked, but you would have had to flash a fruitcake to cover it up, and you probably would have known if you flashed a fruitcake already.
If you do feel brave, there are videos on YouTube showing how to unlock the bootloader (if you still need to) and also how to install CM7.
Unless you have the patience in dealing with bugs, IMHO you are better off "right now" using CM7 over ICS.
Just my opinion and best of luck...

No that's actually true. Surely it isn't that easy to fake? I've been too big of chicken to try anything until the ICS update got cancelled, but I'm often checking in and trying to see what might be going on related to my phone.

Sorry for the delay... apparently noobs have to wait 5 minutes between posts.
My phone does not say unlocked when booting... but I thought SuperUser or ROM manager or Titanium told me I was unlocked at one point? I'm sooo far lost I don't really care. I just want to get where I can flash ROMs with CWM as easily as it appears to be.
I'd like to learn enough to be able to revert back to GB in the event the upgrade isn't for me. Or hopefully someone would help me go back if needed. Maybe I'm just believing what I see on the internet but I was interested in the recently "leaked" version of ICS...? Are you laughing at me write now? Whatever would be the most stable and/or have the most functionality is probably what i want. I'm really hoping to enjoy new software enough to inspire me to keep the phone until I see a new phone I have to have!

Well we can get leaked ICS on your phone but its battery life isnt great and some other bugs. Also when did you get your phone is it AT&T phone bought in US? Because newer Atrix cant be unlocked And it might brick our phone and you wont be able to do anything about it.
The question Stands above:
Do u need the camcorder?
Do u use a webtop?
When u answere one of these questions with yes, u should use a Stock based Rom or cm7; else i would prefer pinters jb.

Give us your build number
Yeah before you start anywhere, we need your build number.
Settings > About Phone > Build Number
The steps to unlock your phone will be based of that.
Actually just list all the settings in your phone. It'll be easier.

Bought the phone in 2/25/11 (per mint.com history). System: 4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.US
Android: 2.3.6
Baseband: N_01.77.37P
Webtop: WT-1.2.0-110-OLY-6
Kernal: 2.6.32.9
Build: 4.5.141
I'm not overly concerned about video recording, i don't use webtop. Again, I was hoping if i didn't like ICS/JB I could try the CM7 or whatever else I wanted? No?
Was it something I said...?
The steps in the thread below worked BEAUTIFULLY for me. Just check whether you've got a 32 or 64-bit version of Windows so you can download the correct drivers for RSDLite. Once you get the bootloader unlocked and a proper recovery partition on there, it's all downhill. Two weeks ago, I was a complete n00b and now I can flash ROMs onto my Atrix in my sleep. For the first time last night, I even flashed a ROM without connecting to my computer, but rather just by downloading the newest AOKP package from GooManager, copying it to the SD Card, then doing a dirty install via Recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
There's also an awesome YouTube video showing how to flash MIUI onto your Atrix, but you can use it for any ROM you like.
(Caution: Like everyone else here, I assume no responsibility if something screws up and your expensive phone turns into a paperweight. As my Atrix is roughly the same vintage as yours, I seriously do not believe that will happen, but everything here is of course at your own risk.)

Unfortunately i've tried this site. I get lost once i get to #2 and it tells me to "go here" and download things, because it says things like "if you're 64 bit you'll need the OTHER link". What other link? And then it says "Do this UNLESS you're on ATT." I am on ATT WTF do i do? Also when i do try to install some drivers off of one of the random links my computer says I have more up to date drivers already installed. Ahhh the short falls of the internet.

You can get the appropriate version of RSDLite and drivers (32 or 64-bit) from here:
http://androidadvices.com/download-install-rsd-lite-root-motorola-droid/
After that, it's just downloading the unlocker that says "ATT ONLY" at this link:

I sent you a PM.
Use the instruction in this link http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Motorola_Atrix_4G:_Full_Update_Guide... Everything works there.
And it's better to make a donation to XDA Developers projects to release a stable ICS/JB version
Wow, thats why i still like to come to this community and check whats going on around, even though i don't the phone anymore. OP started a thread, thats been asked tons of times, and no one have flamed him yet, on the contrary, everyone is trying to help him. If he would do this on the GS2 i777 general section, he would have got flamed and the thread would have gone totally offtopic about jokes and stuff like that.
Great community guys! Keep the Atrix forums like this!
PS: Sorry for the offtopic.
Same Atrix as mine
OK it looks like you have the same Atrix as mine.
I used this:

Basically it's a one step process for installing root and unlocking your phone. Unfortunately, it also comes with an outdated CWM.
So once you are done follow these instructions:

That should be it. Good luck.
