[Q] Atrix Won't Root? *HELP*

Hey guys,
So my brother recently purchased a Bell Motorola Atrix. I have been trying to root it for him in order to install the hack where you can access the WebTop environment via a normal HDMI cable.
I tried SuperOneClick, and it says rooting successful (even after it does the test to determine if the device is rooted) and SuperUser does appear in the applications list. I also tried UniversalAndroot, also to no avail.
However, any applications that require root claim that the device is not rooted.
Are there any other ways of rooting this device? Or am I just doing something wrong? (keep in mind I have rooted several other devices with SuperOneClick, and those have all been successful)
Please help,
Thanks,
DS1495

look for "adeo" in the dev forum. try that

Try rebooting? That's what happened with mine.

DONT DO THIS.
He has a Bell Atrix.

I had to toggle debug on and off a few times before it would move past waiting for device.
Make sure you have the mkro drivers installed. Also the phone should be in phone portal mode, I believe.
Good luck

I don't think it matters what it's set as, but I believe most devs recommend none.

Thanks guys, aRoot worked wonderfully! First try!

I have tried the aRoot on the Atrix I just bought yesterday from Bell (I am now a bell customer :-( ) but it doesn't work. I must be missing something. I double click the script, it runs through all the steps, even says, rebooting at the bottom, but it does nothing. I press any key to continue, and nothing.
any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
AZ

Figured it out, turns out it wasn't recognizing the adb driver.
nick78ru said:
Had this problem. While connected (as USB storage) uncheck USB debugging and and enable it again. Check in Control Panel=>Device manager for ADB Services (should be at the top with sublisting for Motorola usb device or smthing like that).
Then open command promt:
cd\
cd\AndroidSDK(or whatever you called the SDK folder)\tools\
adb devices
Let me know if it helps

[Q] Lost root after verizon update

So I installed the Verizon OTA update and now I seem to have lost root. I was rooted via Z4. Now when I click root, it just vibrates and nothing happens. I cant use rooted apps any more. The Superuser app is still present, though it doesnt do anything. Can I just do the oneclick root over the Z4? I really don't want to ruin the tab. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
* I am running stock rom.
Thanks

After any ROM update root has to be lost. On new ROMs z4root does not work, that is right. Try to find SuperOneClickv1.7_ShortFuse - it really works with latest updates. Put the package on your C:\ disk. Run executable with administrator rights, otherwise it will not work out. If you have any anti-virus running on PC - stop it before copying the package to disk, otherwise it will immediately kill one of the files in package (this one is not a virus!).
Hope this helps.

It is not so funny, many people just are trying rooting without drivers... Please see some details here, it may help probably

Where do I get the drivers and how do I install? I found SuperOneClick1.8ShortFuseDrivers but I'm not sure if that's it and how to install if it is.
Thanks.

It took a while but I finally found the drivers and was able to root successfully. However Titanium backup still says it can't get root access....
EDIT: I had debugging off. Works now.

I have been putting off doing the VGT update for fear of having to reroot or something else going wrong but I got sick of that pop up so I said what the hell and went for it. . . .
And I still have root. . .
But I am running just about stock everything, I have not found or seen any good reason to run a custom rom yet.
Now it there was a way to run CM7 I would love that!! I have that on my Evo and love how fast my phone is.
But to the point. . . Are we all getting the same update? Again I just did it and I have not lost root.

THANKS!!!! Worked like a charm.
I was previously rooted with Z4. I installed the "mandatory" Verizon update and of course lost root, Z4 and Superuser no longer worked. Found your post, tried it on my XP SP3 machine with no luck, kept coming up with daemon not running or something like that. Just now tried it on a Vista machine and it worked flawlessly. I did have to reboot for it to work, did not see that mentioned anywhere here, but after a reboot my apps that require rooting are once again working.

It is not mentioned because it is considered to be done "by default" - after any system update a tablet must be rebooted...

I have been trying to root a Sidekick 4G for two days now. But the only process that I could find to do it that was currently updated was SuperOneClick. I am posting this to hopefully help others that might be stuck somewhere along the process because in my extensive searches, I have found so many people that were stuck at the same places I was, but noone seemed to have any answers other than re-install the drivers. Well I installed and re-installed the drivers about 10 times; downloading them from various websites.
Problems that I had:
- My Samsung drivers would install part of the way or not all all
Finally, what worked for me was to DL KIES from the Samsung Website. I installed KIES and let it fix the drivers for me! I was then able to get past the 2nd line in SuperOneClick where it was waiting for ADB but now...
- I was getting stuck at Step 5 in SuperOneClick and sometimes at step 7
What I found was that my virus software (Bitdefender) was deleting the exploits as soon as I started the root process! Even though I thought that I had shut down Bitdefender (in MSCONFIG) when I went back into MSCONFIG to check I found that Bitdefender was turning itself back on!
I found that there was a way in the settings within BD to turn off the autovirus scan for a short period of time. Once I had it all turned off, I unzipped SOC again (because BD apparently couldn't see the zipped up files and never deleted those). I reran SuperOneClick, then it finally worked!!!
Hopefully this helps someone from spending the hours & hours that I did trying to find the solution.

SuperOneClick stuck on step 5 for me too.

SuperOneClick uses ZergRush. Why would it matter?
Anyway, when mine was stuck at step 5, it did finally clear. You just have to wait.

This worked for me. Couldn't have been easier.

Always used SuperOneClick to root my ML2.
Please, check this items:
- User Debugging Mode
- Motorola Flash Interface (on Device manager of your computer), if not show this, will not work well.
With your device manager opened, click on Root button and check if your cell loses connection when stopped at chmod command.
The SuperoneClick uses the zergrush tool and seems like a exploit by anti-spyware softwares. Make sure that you disable when runs the SuperOneClick.

Root 4.2
METHOD 1 (RECOMMENDED)
_________________________________________________
thanks to Gnurou
"So, I have finally updated my SHIELD rooting method to support Tegra Note 7 as well, so you guys don't need to install weird programs on your PCs:
https://github.com/linux-shield/shield-root
Rooting by itself is quite easy, you need to have adb and fastboot on your system then:
1) Enable USB debugging in the developer options and plug your TN7
2) Download https://github.com/linux-shield/shie...7.img?raw=true
3) In a shell, issue "adb reboot-bootloader"
4) In the same shell, go into the directory containing root_tn7.img and run "fastboot boot root_tn7.img".
Rooting will take ~15 seconds and the tablet will reboot. You should then have SuperSU installed and working.
Note that these are not exactly the instructions mentioned on the README file of my Github repository. That's because TN7's bootloader is not interactive as SHIELD's for the moment, I hope this will be fixed.". All thanks to Gnurou
4.2 Chinese root method
METHOD 2
______________________________________________________
Ok so for starters the tegra note does come with an unlocked boot loader so that a big plus. To root I followed these steps..
"There is another method to root the tegra note easily if you know chinese......
You may download the software called Jin Shan Mobile Assistant at the site below:
google it --> (zs.ijinshan.com)
EDIT: HERE IS A DIRECT LINK TO DOWNLOAD THE ROOT TOOL
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2Sc2UBbSHchb1pBUGpPN2N1Sm8/edit?usp=sharing
click and download the PC ver. setup file at right handside.(wrote 支持设备：安装win8/Win7/Vista/XP系统)
After installation, plug in your tegra note via USB. Press the ROOT大師 at the bottom left corner.
It will checked your device model as P1640. Then press "確定". It will simply root your device immediately.
:good::good::good:"
Thanks to hotsuma2000
Once I was rooted using the method above I installed Supersu from market and it replaced the superuser from the above method.. I then removed all apps that were installed from using the Chinese root.
STEPS
__________________________________________
The .exe file to download is about 30mb.
Once you download the file run it using Windows.
Open the program after installation.
Make sure USB debugging is checked on your device. (FYI to get developer options go to settings about tablet and press on build number until a message pops up saying you have Dev options.)
Plug the tegra note into your PC and the program should then recognize your device at which point you will see the root option.
Click root and magic...
The root program will install it's own version of superuser but don't worry I will get to that.
Once rooted go to Google play and download Supersu by chain fire then open it. You should then be prompted to install.. It will say another superuser app is detected and ask to replace..
There you have it feel free to ask away anything on your mind
If I was a help to anybody please throw me a thanks

Where's the info? Please post the solution you found. I've been digging through forum after forum and have tried 3 or 4 "one-click" root tools. So far nothing has worked. I really want to use Titanium Backup on this device.
UPDATE I finally got root on my Tegra NOTE 7!!! The process was a bit haphazard and inept but after enough tinkering I was able to get it done! Since the method is a bit involved I would recommend waiting for an easier solution. That being said, for those, like me, who just can't wait feel free to PM me and I'll point you in the right direction.

feel free to pm me for instructions or direction

I would be interested in directions for how to root. Why not just post them in this thread?

Fantastic! It didn't work the first time I tried it, though I think that's because the program hadn't detected the tablet yet, but the second time it worked like a charm! It's a shame that PC program is in Chinese... it actually looks pretty cool!

just double check make sure debbuging is checked... also when you run the program wait until it shows TegraNote sometimes you have to wait a little bit. It took me like two times before I was able to do it let me know if you the problem continues

Have not tried this yet but sounds ok.
Think I will wait for recovery as I want to try the exellent xposed framework on the note.
And then the wonderfull gravity box module.
Should be ok but safer to have a backup I think.
Thanks for finding and sharing this with us.

Yes now I'm on CM13 but I did my root on COS 12.1 before, KingRoot works on both ROMs for me.
Yes, for me rooting gives a lot as I'm using Xposed modules like Amplify and Greenify and some other nice software, but if you don't find it useful don't do it Read on internet what ROOT gives, it's not useful for everybody, but for me is essential.

Hi guys,
I have been trying to root my device for 2 days, with no success.
I have tried 2 different Windows computers, just to make sure that I wasn't making any mistake with the drivers. The problem is that I never get to see my device when I launch the command "adb devices". Developer option is activated, ADB modeas well, OEM unlocking as well. Driver installed (Google generic one and tried also ZUK USB drivers 1.0.5), I get to see 3 devices in System Properties:
- under portable devices
E:\
Z1
- under ShenQi ADB Devices
android ADB interface
Can anyone suggest what should I do?
I don't get the RSA Authentication authorization request from the device once I plug it in....
Really no idea of what to do. Should I try kingroot?
Thanks in advance

Use the tool in the link below and follow instructions. It will do everything for you and install a custom recovery and let you install su.
Would recommend uninstalling all previous USB drivers and start again.
