Hi, just installed the new BELL OTA update that is now available. If you have not received it, go to Settings -> About Phone -> System Update.
To Root, download GingerBreak from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
You will need v1.20 - install, enable USB Debugging, and wait. It took around 1 minute on my phone. Afterwards, if you were not rooted previously, download SuperUser from the market.
Can confirm this method works. First try did not work; rebooted unmounted formatted SD card, remouted. Then retried gingerbreak. 1 min approx to root, root confirmed with superuser.
Downloading now...
What about gladroot? It doesn't work?
Glad root will work, frozenfish is left intact in /osh/sbin.
(That's just the su binary with a different name, but the right permissions, you can adb shell, and type /osh/sbin/frozenfish and have a root shell.)
Cheers!
Worked for me. Takes a few good minutes so be patient.
Yeah, works fine to root and unroot, just have to be patient and wait.

I just updated (37.23) yesterday, there is no /osh/sbin/frozenfish on my Atrix
Now running Blur_Version.0.37.23.MB860.BellMobility.en.CA (build OLYLA_U4_0.37.23)
I had used GladRoot 4.3 to previously root the device. Now I'm wondering if it's going to be safe to run Gingerbreak 1.2 - anyone in the same scenario ?

Just thought I'd report that I successfully ran Gingerbreak 1.20 on 37.23 (after having used GladRoot on 37.4) and everything seems OK, I'm back in root mode.

I used Gladroot for the initial FW version, but I didn't want to chance that it may not work or cause any issues like SuperOneClick. I went with Gingerbreak just to be safe.
Put me on the list of the list confirming that Gingerbreak works with this FW...
Hi I tried to use Gingerbreak but the application was running for about 20 minutes and then it crashed. I was wondering if this root app worked for everybody and if maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I'm have a Bell Atrix with the latest firmware.
Any information or suggestion/solution would be appreciated!!!

Anyone having issues with their backlighting? Mine seems dim and sometimes don't come on.
Thanks
Just ran on 37.23. Works! Only took a minute.
Can confirm this works on bell 2.2.2. This indeed deleted my internal sd data though, so make sure to back up before proceeding.

I just have a quick question about using Gingerbreak on my Atrix running this newest firmware.
Do I absolutely need an SD card in the phone?
I don't have one so I was wondering if I can stil do it or I need to go out and get one tomorrow?
Thanks!
You need one definately.
Successful 37.23 update - unsuccessful root.
I've just ran the the bell 37.23 update.
I managed to gain root access again after running super one click.
However after I factory reset the phone all my root applications stopped working.
Super user was still in the app drawer, but titanium backup was saying it didn't have root access. (along with every other root app)
I tried rooting/unrooting the phone again with super one click and every time it hangs on "Running psneuter..."
I also tried rooting with GingerBreak and it just stays on the "Running exploit..." screen.
Any suggestions?
So, I was excited to see a new version of SuperUser available yesterday. I updated and much to my surprise it screwed things up on my atrix pretty good.
Now it doesn't even prompt me to allow permissions for some apps, and just auto denies them the perms. In SuperUser app it self those apps dont show up, so I cannot manually allow them ( even though they are being logged as denied).
Im no idiot.. I can usually work around most problems I encounter.. so I go into preferences and set it to "auto-allow " everything SU permission. The apps STILL get denied. I have uninstalled and reinstalled those apps. No luck there. I guess I could try uninstalling and reinstalling SuperUser but I'm not sure that will work either.
Normally I wouldnt even care, but it just so happens the apps its screwing up on are Adfree and LBE privacy guard. I am not pleased. Looks like I may have to restore this month old nandroid backup I have.
Anyone else had any of these issues with the update??
i got the update (and also an updated su) and everything is working fine.
Everything is working fine for me... (Stock Froyo) *knock on wood*

i dont rly like the update either but it is working but it dont show the apps in the app list
no problems here
I had a problem the other day regarding a binary update with superuser and gave up and reloaded my Rom, works fine now. Luckily backup worked better than I thought and back to normal already.

Also no prob with su.
Instead of reinstalling your old backup, just uninstall the update in the app manager.
If you update it'll say at the bottom "Was that cool Do it again?" Click do it again and it will then prompt you for SU access. I haven't had any issues yet.
Im aquired a copy from CWM Rom Manager and I am on a stock 2.2 rooted/unlocked rom. It works fine.for me and with Super User Elite from the market it really works lovely.

I had a problem with SU Binary as well. RE-Rooting the device worked for me.
Mine is fine but the apps dont show in the app list it is the free ver does anyone else have this prob
Running ROM Manager Premium v4.7.0.5 with ClockworkMod 3.0.0.8 (newer versions did not flash ROMs properly) on Cyanogenmod 7.1 with SuperUser 3.0.6 (su binary 3.0.2).
When I try to run Fix Permissions from ROM Manager, it asks me to confirm as normal. When I confirm, it just sits there in the Fix Permissions window where the log output would usually appear. I've let it go for several minutes and nothing ever seems to show up. It should be noted that ROM Manager never requests root permissions for this either.
Am I not waiting long enough, or has anyone seen this issue before?
Edit: I also posted this to reddit under Android (can't link because I don't have enough posts).
Are you running the latest su? I had an issue with the latest version and had to uninstall updates to get it to work, once I did that it let me flash the latest CWM and fix permissions
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I was running the latest version of Superuser and su. I uninstalled updates to Superuser, but that only brings it down to 3.0.4, and the same problem results.
Edit: It would appear this is deeper than just ROM manager, and that SuperUser is the culprit. I just tried updating the su binary, and it's stuck at "Gaining root access." Always exciting when Superuser can't give itself root rights...
This is affecting everything requiring root permissions. The programs just hang because the root prompt never shows up. Not really sure what would've caused this. Must be an su/Superuser update. I can't flash from ROM manager because Superuser is broken. Is there any place to install an older Superuser APK?
Did you downgrade in the market? That just put me back to version 2.3.6.3 which shouldn't give you problems, and I'm pretty sure there's a way to install it with adb but I'm not sure how, you could always install a new ROM with CWM.

I also just noticed your binary is outdated... Try updating that and c if it fixes anything, the latest version of su with the latest binary are actually working for me but, the previous version didn't .

The SuperUser update screwed me.
I had to reflash the older 2.3.5.3 version.
If you look at his website there's a way to download the older versions. Flash it like you would a rom. Solved my problems. I'm not upgrading until I know it works for Incredible phones.
I can't seem to find where I got mine from but here's a link to another place that has it.

That fixed it, thanks. Now running Superuser 3.0.6/su 2.3.5.3 and things requiring root permission are actually asking for them again.
Why not just "Fix Permissions" straight through the recovery?
Manually upgraded my Nexus 7 to Android 4.3 today, via Google's factory images.
I flashed Clockwork Mod, and installed Busybox and the latest version of SuperSU with it. But root isn't working -- no clue why. Any help? Am I stupidly overlooking something? I've flashed root binaries plenty of times before, and this has never happened.
Try this version.. https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z12rw1urfveawxfxm04cjl1aoor5ezninhc

Hmmm, that version technically works (Root Checker says I'm rooted), but now it's acting like Busybox isn't installed, and other root apps are acting up.
What is the issue here? Why would root suddenly not work on an unlocked Nexus device? Should I be using something other than SuperSU?

I don't think busybox is part of this installation, you'll have to install one from the market yourself.

I flashed and updated Busybox, and it seems to be working OK now.
Other root apps are acting screwy -- "/system/app Mover" can't remount the /system folder (even though I can mount it R/W just fine in Root Explorer), Change Hostname doesn't work, etc. etc.
Key point: Why isn't root just simply working as I expect it to? What is wrong with SuperSU?
From what I've read its because of the new "Restricted Profiles" and how security works now, SuperSU needs to be updated have to use that one posted in the link until that happens

Because the new security features they implemented are needed to guard against exploits.

I downloaded and flashed a fresh version of stock 4.3, and installed the supersu zip file through CWM. now i have a working device that is supposedly rooted.
my problem is that something is causing root privileges to do some weird things. I enabled root file manager on the rhythm software file manager, and it suddenly cant access my data on the internal SD card, but when i disable root for it, i can see the stuff fine.
As well, when i try to start Hola using Root, it starts, then flashes several times and stops.
Apps ask for root permissions fine, and it grants them fine, but they just aren't working right.
I have tried re-downloading and flashing a couple different versions of supersu through CWM, including the newest, v1.43.
Is this something that can be fixed, or will i need to start from scratch again?
Hey,
Got the same thing for getting to my sdcard content. Get to it thru /mnt/sdcard instead of /sdcard. This works for me with rooted 4.3.
Cheers

have you tried updating to the newest superSU to version 1.44 in the playstore ? should've been the first thing you did after flashing 1.43 as it fixes alot of the root problems

Nope...doesn't work as it redirects to the same place. There is a single file there that is unreadable named 0 and its 0kb, same as what I currently see

That was the first thing i tried as well. i also did a cleanup and reinstalled from the play store several times hoping it would work, but nothing. SuperSU seems to think i am rooted, because it doesn't complain about the binaries or anything, it simply grants permissions, but the permissions don't work right.

tried installing newest version, didn't have any effect. i think I'll just flash a new ROM onto the phone...maybe cyanogenmod 10.1.2
Thanks you guys for the help, though.
