To answer you subject question, yes.
I rooted by doing everything from the phone.
Only thing that needed a computer was flashing the recovery.img
This thread should be in the general section...

STOP POSTING QUESTIONS IN HERE post them in the general section. This has nothing to do with android development therefore does not belong here. Yes u can do it on ur phone but if u do not have root explorer it will be just as complicated as the steps that use ur computer. If ur not savy do a ton of reading before u do ne thing u can't just jump in and start rooting and everything without knowing basics. Learn what the android sdk and adb is before u do ne thing
Thanks, I have a lot to read and learn.

You use rooting to remove all of the Samsung and T-Mobile bloatware you would not like on the device. Also you can now install custom ROMS when they are made available such as CM6. Which means you can get future software updates such as OS 2.2 (froyo) before Samsung actually rolls it out. There are other benefits to rooting but you'll figure them out as you go.
How do I remove all that tmobile crap off the phone

Search around on here. There are threads on how to do so. I personally haven't done it yet so I couldn't give you the specifics.

Please read the sticky before creating a thread. All of your answers are there, and a lot of effort went into it to avoid these type of threads (not trying to sound rude).
I am a noob to this phone, but not a noob at rooting things. My question is I go through these forums and see .apk things that are awesome. I will not install if it requires root, but can I screw things up by installing an .apk that needs root on a non rooted phone. I understand it won't work, but will I mess my phone up.
I ask these questions because back in the ol day with the G1 rooting was pretty new thing (easier), but with all these android running phones and more work to root the last thing I want to do is screw my phone up installing some of these .apks.
I appreciate all your help. If this has been covered before please guide me to a link.
no they will do nothing
If y are not a noob at "rooting things" how can u not know that it wont do anything. Its just an app like any other. It just wont function without root access. Don't be afraid to ask if u are a complete noob, we have ALL been there.

Haha.. Thanks boys for the reply. As for the noobieness, yeah you could say that, but when I started rooting my G1 things weren't this far advanced. I haven't ventured into rooting this cause I am scared and I will think it about it more once (if ever we get Froyo.)
Thanks again.
Well glad that's outta the way. This phone has files to recover it fully and nothing short of flashing something in the "phone" portion of Odin cab actually brick this phone and that can now be fixed sans SMS messages. Either way, read up, dive in, enjoy.

Can u flash a new radio with Android on nand or must we go back to win mobile first?
Can we install android roms from a 16gb micro sd and not just 8gb and below in mag?
Is it safe to change system files without us having a recovery mode, or do we? Or is there a way to restore without having to reflash if you mess up?

Ill answer your question with a question....
Why do you choose to ask a question in the dev release forum when we have a QUESTIONS forum???
I wish I had mod privileges
Answer the question if u can, if not stfu. I'm not a newbie and I knew exactly wat I was doing, the purpose was to get a quicker response but I knew the thread would be moved eventually. Find something else meaningful to do with ur life

Yes, you can flash radio from botloader. I just did that today.
Hey guys just got the atrix and it's on
What's the easiest way you found to root it?
Sorry it won't let me post in development for some reason
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
it depends what firmware ur on
Gladroot. the link is in my signature below.. make sure you follow the instructions carefully depending on your situation.
Right now, it appears Gingerbreak roots everything, but you need an SD card. See the Atrix Dev forum.
Ok thanks guys will try ginger break

And you should not post in development as your question is not development related.
try typing root in the search box, or any question, you usually get some good answers
I've got a brand new Atrix running 1.26. So far in this thread they recommended Gladroot and someone else Gingerbreak. Is there a benefit to using one over the other? I am admittedly an Android noob and been reading a lot trying to understand flashing SBF, ADB, CWM, etc. Knowing there is a beta update soon to be tested, I would like to use a method that is most likely to work with a new update should it follow on the heals of the beta.
If you have an SD card around, update now, then run Gingerbreak.
If not, follow the process in the Gladroot thread to getting root on 1.57. Assuming you care about the update... there's really no reason not to have it.
In the future, please search before posting a new thread. This has been discussed hundreds of times on this forum, and with a bit of legwork you could have easily gotten all of this info for yourself. Although I will admit the root situation is a bit more confusing now that a new exploit has been found.
Gladroot will give you the option to enable sideloading Gingerbreak does not.
thats just my 2 cents

Hey guys, I'm new to rooting (recently switched from iOS) and sort of the whole community. I want to root my i9300 but I want to be as cautious as possible. My question is does my baseband version matter when rooting my factory unlocked S3? I don't think it should but just as a precaution, I want to know everything there is to it. Btw, I have also attached a screen shot of the device info menu, and I was wondering if anybody could confirm that the rooting process go flawlessly without any worries on my device. Thanks.

Baseband is modem relative to local networks.
It is not firmware version and has no bearing on root.
Please read the faqs and guides first.

As above, you really need to read and understand before you take another step -otherwise you are likely to destroy your phone.
A good tip is to use CF Auto Root to obtain root, which has very little chance of breaking the phone if you follow the instructions exactly. Then backup your efs folder before you do ANYTHING else.
Im sorry for posting blindly. As a side question, would I need to back up the EFS folder if I dont want to flash any custom roms? I just want the cool root apps Thanks again
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
always backup efs
