Gingerbread for AT&T users with locked bootloaders - Atrix 4G General

At this point it seems that once flashing this you may not be able to revert to a lower firmware without unlocking your BL! This build also may not receive OTAs. So in summary flashing this may cripple your ability to OTA!
URGENT!! Flashing any SBF 1.8.3, 1.5.7, or 1.2.6 using RSD after updating via this method results in permabrick!

There are still some people out there that have not unlocked their bootloaders, this is for those people.

You linked to "Blur_Version.4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US.zip". This is 1.83... not gingerbread.

If it is GB, why the file name is 4.1.8.3?

I wake up everyday looking for news about 2.3 getting released. I am on 2.2.1 so I lost the ability to root. So i hope this comes out soon and if anyone has any info please post.
Officially it should come out in "coming weeks" as this tweet suggests - http://twitter.com/googlenexus/status/16974464310845440.
But there's a way to root your 2.2.1 anyways. Follow this guide:

Just unlock your bootloader.
I have tried the super one click no luck
Other than unlocking, which is the preferred and safest way to do it. You could just follow the guide that was linked here. I did it for my friend just last week because he was afraid of the official way to root for some reason. It worked perfectly.
Yeah I did it the rageagainstthecage way.

Works fine for me. Did you get stuck at the looping problem after following the steps in the OP?
The way around that, as many of us have discovered, is to turn the phone off then run SuperOneClick and select 'root'. Turn the phone back on once 'waiting for device..' is shown in the program and then just leave it until it finishes.
Ensure USB debugging is enabled before you get started and that your PC has the required drivers installed. (Check Device Manager).
To be fair the Original Post needs updating as the instructions aren't very good without the above being mentioned.

Dumb question but, does that method allow you to install custom roms (e.g. CM7) without unlocking the bootloader, thus keeping the warranty?

Using exploit to root allows you to get rooted device without unlocking the bootloader. However, I cannot tell you 'your warranty is kept' for certain(as long as bootloader is locked and you can revert to stock, I think it's okay).

This does not unlock the boot loader....... and, yes you can flash roms once rooted.

His question isn't about relocking the bootloader. But as long as you reflash the stock ROM and recovery, then I don't think there would be a way to tell without further examination. Regardless, HTC isn't too strict with the warranty claims, as many members on this forum have claimed warranty and sent back rooted phones to HTC. You should be fine.

Nope, this RUU never surfaced. You can still downgrade the misc partition to normalize the watermark, as detailed in my 2.18 HBOOT instructions.

Ouch. Your WiFi is broken because he told you to flash a US VZW (XT-907) firmware.
Okay. First, you should try to find a 201M restore file. That will get your WiFi back. Next, since you've got a Dev edition, you can bootloader unlock and install a custom recovery, then flash a root zip

While the link I gave him was unidentified as to warnings to non vzw users (now fixed) , the flashing of vzw sw comes in step 8 clearly he would have had to have pulled it from a xml himself if he even got that far. And if he did it would have been from reading the rzr op. As the bare motochopper has no vzw sw inside.

I didn't get the system img at all. I just wanted to flash the superuser files to /data which I thought would set me up to flash the whole thing with Rom manager.
Anyway, thank you for the help. I am downloading the firmware you linked to now. This guide tells me to edit the XML file and remove the getvar text from it, should this apply here as well? (Edit: Cant post outside links, but I think you get my point)
I'm going to use RSD 6.1.4 to restore the firmware. Any further instructions would be appreciated as I have never done this before.

How do you have a path to the newer sw? Is it your carriers ota? If you can obtain the same in the xml form there is an easy root using a modded ver w/ unlocked phone. The ota.zip could also be useful if you take it while you have root. It resides in /cache.

It wasn't your fault for trying to help, so it's ok. I'm glad a solution existed.
I'm more than willing to answer the questions, but I am a layman here so please explain some things for me: What do you mean by SW? I just installed the update by going into about phone -> system update on Wifi. The carriers here don't even support 3G, much less 4G (So now you know why Wifi was important for me).
The phone came unlocked day one when I bought it from a friend's friend. I don't know if he did it that way or if it comes unlocked because it is the developer edition.
I installed CW Recovery using Fastboot. I installed the incorrect superuser file using Motofail which wrote the superuser file but failed at all other steps. I was then unable to either access or remove this superuser apk file.
Since I am back on 4.0.4. now, what's the easy way to get root access and superuser permissions that you mention? I wish other XT902 owners would post here too, generating interest would really help in getting development support for this phone.

Once you root on 404 you can grab your update.zip & copy it to your sd . Any rooting exploit would evolve from that Or the newest xml ver of the 404 you just flashed from rsd. You may be able to request it from your carrier.
---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------
You can paste the mods from my vzw restore (no vzw software will be used) into the 404 xml & obtain root from a preinstalled cwmr! Then maintain root with voodoo for your ota.
I will help you just read the op. Link is in my signature.

garyd9 said:
There's some misinformation going around concerning lollipop (android 5.0), root, and the SHIELD tablet. I'm posting this (redundant) information to (hopefully) clear things up and prevent someone from causing themselves a headache after the tablet updates...
nvidia has stuck very close to AOSP in their tablet firmware updates, so it's a reasonable assumption (at this point) that the new firmware will also be very close to AOSP.
If that comes to be, then "rooting" the tablet will be more difficult than in previous firmware updates. Most of the gory details can be found in this G+ article by @Chainfire : https://plus.google.com/113517319477420052449/posts/VxjfYJnZAXP
(BTW, as always, a huge thanks to Chainfire for his efforts. If you haven't already, paying for the upgrade to "SuperSU Pro" is well worth the price if for no other reason than to encourage Chainfire to continue work on that project.)
If you don't understand the details of that post from chainfire, I'll try to summarize it: Even if you manage to get a copy of the "su" binary on your system partition (which is essentially the goal of all the older root exploits), it won't matter much in Android 5.0. In Android 5.0, we'll ALSO need a part of the kernel image changed (the ramdisk) so that a part of "superSU" can run at a more permissive context.
Updating the kernel ramdisk shouldn't be too difficult (if its compressed with the kernel in a normal way) once we have the image to play with. As well, in order to put the newly modified kernel image in place, a person would have to unlock their bootloader (which can void your warranty.)
Actually, it's possible (once the image is released by nvidia) that @Chainfire will stick the image on his server in one of his very easy to use "CF-Auto-Root" bundles. (Hopefully, all the @ references I've made will get him to look at this thread and confirm what I've said. The honest truth is that I'm NOT familiar with SELinux, so I'd have to do a bit of experimenting to get this working.)
Take care

Awesome, I use FolderMount to link my obb files from the sd card to the main so that my largest game files are all on my sd card. I actually have the premium version so I just link my whole obb folder and data folder but I would guess linking any obb and then seeing if the game would load would test it. As for Titanium a backup/delete/restore of any app would test all of the features. Thanks for checking that out

No problem.
Results
Folder Mount - Made a link from internal to external and the link seemed to be working correctly (files put in one showed up in the other)
Titanium - Backed-up, uninstalled, and restored Netflix successfully with no errors
Here's a link to the root instructions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/development/root-root-lollipop-t2945044

I was starting to wonder how I was the only person (or at least the first) to have that idea.
So I already installed the update for lollipop. Although I was rooted using towelroot, I never installed CWM or unlocked my bootloader. Is it too late to follow the instructions to unlock my bootloader at this point? Do I need to just wait for another root method?

[System Pull] [LG-H901BK_V10c] T-Mobile LG V10

Hope this helps out. This was after I unlocked bootloader and re-setup my phone (so there are some apps installed). Total unpacked size is 3.26GB, zip is 1.52GB.

Sorry for the seemingly noob question, but I've unlocked, rooted, installed ROMs, and modded system directories for many years but am unfamiliar with system pulls. What is the purpose of this and how can it be used on the new T-Mobile V10? Thanks.

It can't. It's just a dump of the system partition. Usually benefits people with other devices looking for something off this device. Maybe an updated app or lib.
As soon as @TheJesus and I can get online at the same time we might be able to come up with something...
You guys are quick. Just got mine on JoD, but don't want to do too much until we have a way to return to 100% stock.
Very cool!

Bahaha, that was the first place I looked
If someone could modify this to be able to prompt me for an unlock code when I enter a different SIM card, I would be very, very happy. Apparently T-Mobile does something to stop the prompt from coming up, and I want to be able to unlock it almost immediately. I'm on my way to get the phone now, but I don't want to come home with a useless paperweight.
Apparently a similar stock ROM was created for the LG G4 as it had the same problem. I would love to see a ROM for this once TWRP is publicly released for the V10!

i thought you had to wait at least 15 days since you been using the device to qualify for sim unlocking your phone. tmobile told me that on the phone before.

I have 1 question, is it possible to make a custom rom with the full .zip you uploaded?
