Let's just say that you are planning to MODIFY your phone. IN ANY WAY! In this case it is ASSUMED that you will be required to ROOT your phone. Please do not ask, in a development forum, if you should ROOT your phone. In this forum, pretty much EVERY thread will contain a procedure that will REQUIRE you to ROOT your phone. If you can not comprehend how to root your phone, you do NOT belong in this forum. There are countless other forums for learning how to root. In fact, there's a sticky thread in THIS VERY FORUM that tells you how to root. USE IT... SEARCH IT... DON'T ASK IF YOU HAVE TO ROOT!
EDIT: My mistake... not sticky anymore... If you SEARCH THIS FORUM for the phrase "HOW TO ROOT", I GUARANTEE you will find a thread with that subject.
A link to the directions to root are in the sticky.

how do i use A link? - LOL
nevermind .. it was funnier in my head
And those who fail to do so will be flamed, laughed at, and forced to be unrooted to rc33 pre-cupcake build!!!!
These threads are becoming just as common as the people who ask how to root.

Thank you for stating the obvious for the 1,000,000th time? Thread close
Suck boy. Mod should ban his account. Suck.
Hi,
I've got a sim-unlocked AT&T and have updated till 1.57. The phone is rooted and running gingerblur 2.5. I want to upgrade to 1.83 and gingerblur 3.5 but dont know the exact steps.
Do I need to go back to stock, or can I just run the ota and then install gb 3.5?
Thanks, v.

Really??? Another thread requesting the same information that is spattered all over the forums already! Really??? You managed to get rooted on 4.1.57 with GingerBlur.
How about you read the GingerBlur thread for instructions. Other alternative?....Stay on 4.1.57 with GingerBlur 2.5.
People say there is a lot of hate in the Atrix forums................it's not hate. People just get tired of seeing threads like this!
Really??? Another thread criticizing the question, rather than giving an answer, if they are oh-so-smart and oh-so-knowledgeable?
1. Really??? For help, you are pointing me to a thread which has 5809 posts? You might as well point me to a public library and tell me to find whatever I need there.
2. Even if I was to find where this was explained, the thread has a undecipherable mix between noobs (like me) trying and sometimes failing in their attempts, and people (not like you) who are actually giving out tested and verified information. I am very wary to try out those suggestions
3. I am in India - with it not being released here, I had to get it from the US, which means I have no sort of warranty, or other help if I completely mess it up. So I am a bit cautious. If you've got a problem with that, don't reply to the thread. If you're tired of seeing the thread, skip it. No one asks you to read every thread. You're obviously on 1.83. Actually I'm sure, you're on a special 2.83, because you're so damn awesome. How does a thread titled 'From 1.57 to 1.83' have any significance to you, unless you're trying to help.
Damn, I bet if you don't know it already, you can't find the actual answer within 15 mins of searching.
REALLY?
lol.
download the 1.8.3 sbf and flash it.
reroot with gingerbreak.
flash gingerblur.
???
Profit.
Warning: flashing sbf deletes all internal memory, but saves apps and settings. REMEMBER TO BACK UP.

I started out not knowing anything a few weeks back, and through actually reading all the guides, and a lot of trial and error, I have learned from the many people here who already had Android and Atrix experience, and I continue to learn in the same way.
All those threads are in the first 2-3 pages of the dev and themes forums, and all your instructions are 99% of the time in the OP.
The authoritative answers you are/were looking for are located in the same threads as those which I learned from, and which you must have read to get to a rooted 4.1.57 on GingerBlur 2.5.
CaelanT, at the time I went to 1.57 and GB 2.5, I had a fresh phone, so could apply the general procedure - didn't have to do anything different.
This time round it's different, and I can't afford to mess things up by needless trial and error - that's why the question. Anyways, let's end this here. Lesson learned from my end - could probably do a bit more research. But do understand that there are different reasons people ask questions - not just due to laziness.
I have searched and for some reason, I cant find it now but what are the name of the restore roms called, I think one starts with a Q and one with a H or T, I am sorry i have looked again and cant find it... I tried to root motochopper but it didnt work, it also didnt work on a person note 2...
Sextape posted the odin files right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258827.
Motochopper won't work with the recent MDL update. Above is MDC.

Hi, I just got an AT&T S4.
It's currently on Android version 4.3
Can I use this tool to root/unlock it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297900
My baseband version is I337UCUEMK2
Once I unlock/root it, can I flash any ROM in this forum?
Thanks

You need to read the threads that are in the General and q & a sections. Start with the pinned threads. The questions you asked show that you have not done any reading and all members are expected to search and read. You will be glad if you do, because if you don't you will more than likely end up with a brick. There are several threads that already have the answers you asked. Good luck.
I read the stickied Q&A, which linked to the thread I posted above. It seems that the tool should be able to root and unlock my MK2 phone. I just wanted to confirm to double check.

You are going to have limitations on that build bc of the locked down bootloader by Samsung

First of all this is a question, yes! So it should be the Q&A threads.
Secondly they're stickies at the top of every thread section, they're there for a purpose. If you had correctly searched you would have come across this stickied thread in the Q&A threads, that took me awhile to write to specifically helps folks http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639102
No disrespect meant but in the future search before opening a thread that's not required
