You need moto drivers check the sbf tutorial by darkonion he has them there.. he also has easy root one-click method incase you have not achieved proper root.

get a mac, all the drivers are installed when you plug in the phone automatically and instantly.

If you're using SuperOneClick do the shell root before doing the root. Also place your device in Debugging mode Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging and then use SuperOneClick to do the shell root and then the root

SuperOneClick works on my 5801 with I5800XXJPF (latest 2.2) firmware.

Hi did u try with z4root version 1.1.0?i had the newest from z4root and i couldnt root.http://www.4shared.com/file/D9EPPWfe/z4root110.htm dowload it and try!

As far as I know z4root does not work for 2.2. You have to you the OneClick one.

Try the rooting by first switch off fone and connect to PC ..run superone click ..press root and when it is waiting for the device switch on..and it will be rooted. It worked for me

[Q] needs alittle help with root

So I picked up an ATT Atrix 4g the other day and I love it! Last cell's were a BlackBerry and before that an iPhone. Android OS blows those away. So I am the tinkering type and want to root and use custom ROM (greyblur). Currently I am upto date (version 4.1.83). From what I read here, I need to flash back to 1.26 via this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072). Installed RSDlite, passworded file, removed sim card, memory card, booted with RSD support, opened RSDlite, selected file (extracted to c:\GladRoot...also tried directly into c, Start. Created the image, it rebooted my atrix, and then the Status threw this message:
"Failed flashing process. failed flashing process. Phone did not re-enumerate after RAM-downloader was sent. (0x703E); phone disconnected.
Progress: Exectuded 100%
Result: FAIL
So was am I missing here? I am on version 4.1.83, but there is reference to 1.2.6 and 1.5.2...I assume these numbers are the firmware revision/version? So as I take it I need to "downgrade" from 4.1.83 to 1.26....? I am kinda lost here. Any help in the right direction would be great.

Look here to root your Atrix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016060

1) Where can I verify that I am on 1.2.6 on my Atrix?
2) I ran the gladroot.bat as admin (win7 user) and got:
waiting for root access to kick in...
psneuter failed to execute properly
I extracted gladroot to c:\gladroot
Any thoughts?

Did you try to use Gingerbreak?
This is really easy, i got no problem with that...
Also, I think you need to install motorola usb windows driver to use rsdlite...

No I didnt try gingerbreak.
I do have the Moto USB drivers installed.

Settings>about phone>build number
Will show if you are on 4.1.26
When it comes to the psneuter fail, I had an issue with that too I believe. Try battery pull/restart. Make sure phone is fully charged. Make sure to right click and run it as admin. Other then that, I don't know what else to suggest.
Edit: if you have any system apps frozen with titanium backup, try unfreezing them and also make sure you have the home motoblur launcher unfrozen if you are flashing an sbf.

why do not root with gingerbreak?
briefmobile[dot]com/motorola-atrix-4g-root - this is even a link i found on xda-dev
i want my device rooted too, but noneed to flash back, flash up, flash back blabla?
gingerbreak sounds much more easier for me - why you guys recommend gladroot? whats the diffrence? is gingerbreak that bad?

Backing out gingerbreak - "flash sbf"?

So what does this really mean? I used gingerbreak after superoneclick hung on psneuter. Phone rebooted after gingerbreak, but superuser app was nowhwere to be seen. I got cold feet and did a factory reset thinking this was all I needed to undo what gingerbreak (and superioneclick?) did. EasyTether now hangs when disabling to I think something is broken.

using gingerbreak to root is real simple I can't post a URL, but briefmobile has instructions on how to do so using gingerbreak. briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root

Gingerbreak and Gladroot are equally good. Some don't like Gingerbreak as it can wipe internal sdcard.

Rooting question

Im trying to root my D2. Followed the guide on TheUnlockr. Got to one of the final steps (the one where it tells you to download ConnectBot and type cd /data/local/tmp, enter, ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin).
That works for me. Then it says something like "forked xxxx children". Then I type exit, and it freezes til it force closes. I can't reopen the app after. I have to uninstall/reinstall and usually pull the battery.
I've tried different terminal emulators as well; they all do the same thing.
Has anyone else rooted using this method? am I doing something wrong? Btw, I have a Droid 2 Global (if it matters) running 2.3

Try this one instead:
http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/
That, or search for Z4Root, it will root a Froyo Droid 2 or D2G, but if you already ran the OTA GB update it will not, you'd need the method above.

Thanks, I'll check it out in a little bit. I did use the Z4 method prior to the recent OTA update. It said it worked, but I couldn't flash a custom rom. Also, when I used a Root Checker from the Market, it said I wasn't rooted either. This is all before I updated.

Edit: That one-click method didn't work either. It went through, rebooted my phone three times, and said it should be rooted. I used that Root Check app, and it said I didn't have root access. Also went to use Barnacle Wi-Fi Tethering, and that said I didn't have root either, even though I have SU on my phone.

I would SBF back to Froyo and run the OTA again, that will guarantee the root is removed. Then use the link I provided and you should have SU. Running Z4 might have corrupted some files since it's not compatible with OTA GB.
