[Q] Atrix help? Please help :)

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

Help Bricked Phone :(

Hello i have a problem . I just bricked my phone. I flashed my phone from rooted to original uk nonrooted and then i tried to update to 4.0 then it bricked and then i tried to flash it again to uk nonrooted but that doesn't help please help. I have an unlocked bootloader. thank you.

Look in the dev section for a thread called 'fix fota bricked' (something along that line).

Ohh and stay away from official update tools in the future: SEUS, Pc Companion and OTA when you've got an unlocked bootloader.

[Q] How to Root DEFY+ 2.3.6

Hi,
I bought DEFY+ with Gingerbread 2.3.4 in December 2011. Last week i installed CM7.2 (forgot to take backup of my ROM) and everything is working fine except the Network Signal.
So i've installed Gingerbread 2.3.6 update from MOTOROLA software update site.
However it is not working properly..My phone is too slow and facing wifi connectivity issues (connects &disconnects so often).
Now i would like to flash either Gingerbread 2.3.4 or CM9.But i'm unbale to root my phone. I tried various tools and none of them worked.
Could any one please share a tool to root Motorola defy+ with 2.3.6?
Urgent.......Plzzzzzz......

I downloaded rooted bl7 sbf file and flashed using MOTO ARClite However after completion i didn't see any change in my phone..
The same Gingerbread 2.3.6 with all my apps exists as is..

Go to App's drawer and look for Superuser app. Have it? you phone is rooted.
Now you can install other Rom READ and learn before installing!!!

Root is not possible anymore exploit is patched in the new firmware:crying:

maybe GingerBreak will help?

you need to follow the procedure correctly posted in the link above.

METHOD TO ROOT .62 Firmware

Hi Everybody
I saw many posts about don't upgrade to .62 firmware because it's not rootable, but reading and searching in other threads (because I have a little xperience with other Sony and Sony ericsson models), I found this way to upgrade my recently adquired Xperia Play to the .62 firmware and rooted... and I just wanna share the links with you...
YOU NEED:
1. Firmwares (.42 for root and .62 to upgrade) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399
2. Flash tool (Very easy to use and many times, just follow the instructions) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351299
3. Root method (This is the most complete and easy tuttorial to root and upgrade) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695514
On that thread they xplain how to upgrade to ICS, but we will use that way to root the .62 Xperia Play firmware.
With this metod, you will have CWM like a gift, to make backups or flash MODs...
SCREENSHOTS BELOW
Thats all I wanna share with you... and of course, thanks to all the developers who made this threads for us.

I think when people say, "its not root able"
They mean that if you haven't rooted before you upgrade then you can't root using .62.
However if you root on a previous version and then upgrade, it'll work.
Always nice to have a guide for new people unaware of I though :thumbup:

When i rooted my play last time i flash 2.3.3 and in settings did an update and i was running rooted on latest software, but if i did it through pc conpanion it wasn't rooted, weird!

[Q] Recent Bootloader Unlock and root access guides

Hello everyone, I'm a brand new member with a couple questions.
I have read many threads here and elsewhere and have recently found two possible sources of information to help me finally unlock my boot loader > backup nandroid > flash cyanogenmod. Profit.
My Droid Razr M has root access. System Version: 98.18.94.XT907.Verizon.en.US / Android JB 4.1.2 / Build Number 9.8.1Q-94
Wen I started, I got used to the idea of staying with JB 4.1.2. It has worked well over the year. And having root and Titanium Backup has given me great power over my phone.
I would like to ask if it is possible to both root and unlock the newer KK 4.4.2 using the these methods I have found and my phone.
First PrankCallPimp youtube guide states I need to flash from JB 4.1.2 to Verizon stock KK 4.4.2 using RSDLite
Second Mr. Blue Coat provides a better stepwise guide outlining root access and unlock procedures, but starting with KK 4.4.2. Very Complete Blog.
I have assembled all of the files these sources suggest to have on hand during the project.
Additional questions. Is PrankCallPimp's method to flash to KK 4.4.2 using VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml files in RSDLite correct? His video cuts out after a while. After flashing KK 4.4.2 the phone will be similar to a factory reset and be susceptible to OTA updates. Currently I use Voodoo OTA to prevent updates. Should I reinstall Voodoo OTA to prevent Verizon pushed updates or go from there to root access and boot loader unlock procedures?
I have never liked following a youtube guide and wonder if there is a printed version I could review before starting. Also I installed RSDLite and my phone can be detected by the program.
I think if Mr. Blue Coats guide is acceptable to everyone, I could follow it with no problems.
What I'm worried about is giving up my currently profitable root access on JB 4.1.2 to go to KK 4.4.2.
It seems that if I really want an unlocked boot loader, I must take KK 4.4.2
If these two guides work, with someone's help, I would be happy to join them into a single clear guide to post here.
I lack the experience most of you have so I'm reaching out with these questions before I even consider going through with this.
Thanks All. Ps. I'm in no hurry.

Read this thoroughly
