Ok so i have done the webtock hack on my atrix 4g and i have rooted it. I am not very familiar with rooting on android devices and flashing and custom roms etc. But now with the new update 4.1.57 i want to update my atrix 4g, but i heard that it can get bricked if you update with a rooted phone or with webtock hack enabled.
So how do i get my phone back to normal? How do i uninstall the webtock hack and unroot it so i can update safely or how can i root at 4.1.57 ? i am very new at all this , this being my first android phone so sorry if my questions are stupid.
Thanks so much for any help

Hello everyone!
I've had my mytouch 3g since preorders were available and I rooted my phone the day the first root was released. Since that day, I have been though many of moded roms and other system modifications that I would like to "reset" my phone the way I first bought it. Is this possible? To completely clear the memory, unroot it, revert the radio, and get the stock tmobile rom?
Thanks in advance!

If you are planning to root and go for custom roms etc then do not update with any official firmware. Head over to the Development forum for all you need to know on rooting, s-off, eng-off etc.
can i use visiionary tool to root or not....do i have downgrade from 2.2 to what....and then root
As mentioned above, go to Development and there you will find detailed stepbystep instructions how to downgrade first and than how to root your phone. Do not install automatic upgrade to 2.3 because it will be harder (not impossible) to root your phone (I learned it hard way after making official upgrade, but my phone is rooted and working well)
Hi there, I just got my new I9505. If I plan on rooting it over the next few days, should I install/not install the OTA update that was downloaded when I first switched my phone on.
I'm wondering if the new OTA will make gaining root access more complicated. I'd like to stay using TouchWiz for a few more weeks before I get CM or other ROMs, so is the update worth it?
Currently on XXUAMDF
Thanks
Dear gurus,
I'm new to Galaxy family, I have a small question. Provided that I have root access for S5 and using Stock ROM. Am I still able to OTA/Kies update?
The reason I want to root is to get rid of SamSung bloatwares and use custom kernel.
Thanks
No. You have to download firmware/rom updates then flash them to your phone now.
Using the phone for updates after rooting will cause you to lose all root access and then would just cause more problems. As stated before, you'll have to manually apply them once rooted.
Tks you all, I got it!
Hi guys,
so, I rooted my phone after installing Pie, but now among other things I wont be recieving any OTA updates, whats is the simplet way to just update the phone?
From what I read here on XDA I think thats best way is to install via Odin with home_csc but my question is when my phone is rooted will it still have root or it will even boot? Did somebody of you tried this?
I will be very gratefull for any suggestions to this topic.
