So before I updated to 2.3.4, I used gingerbread to root. Updated to 2.3.4 and lost root.....hence lost wifi teathering. Can't seem to find what to use to root now and I need wifi teathering wifi ASAP...no internet at location...only via ATRIX....need laptop on internet. Any help would be great!

Look around, do a search. If I were to help you, I would simply do a search and then tell you what I found. Why can't you just do that? You don't need people to search for you...

try to force close your browser app, and then redownload.
it's 8MB, you shouldn't have any problem. make sure you're downloading preinstall.zip from the second post in that thread, and not the sbf from the first post.
then follow the instructions in the second post. eval-'s method is extremely easy and works on every atrix.

That shouldnt matter at all. I mean it clearly says For AT&T users right at the top of the first post before it gives the root info.
Check out RootzWiki. They have information there as well on how to root the Atrix after the Gingerbread update.
Thanks guys. But I think the problem at hand is not being able to dl that zip. About 2seconds after I start the dl...it fails. How to force close?
open up task manager, and close out the browser app. i have to do this sometimes when my downloads aren't working correctly

To the OP, try downloading the Dolphon browser, I've found it to be helpful at times when the other browser doesn't want to play nice.
Finally I was able to dl the reinstall.img via opera (dolphin failed too). Ran the fastboot reinstall preinatall.img, it worked, then fastboot reboot. Ran root checker....no root. Downloaded Superuser..."force close"....:sigh:. What am I missing here to root this damn thing? It wasn't as much of a pain to root in the last......much thanks!!

Did you follow the last part of the instructions?
after fastboot & reboot, type in adb ("adb shell") or terminal emulator, exactly:
/preinstall/dosu
/bin/mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /preinstall/su /system/bin/
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
PATH=/system/bin:$PATH pm install /preinstall/Superuser.apk
Adb shell
$ /preinstall/dosu
I get : bash: groups: command not found
[email protected]:/#
Need to be out in fastmode to do the above maybe?
Nope, device not found. I did have to goto c: to Adb shell.....hrmmmm
Any suggestions before I add on a teathering plan?
i got the same command not found, i just went along with the rest of the process like normal and it rooted for me.
try that, if that doesn't work try /preinstall/su instead of /dosu

saw some articles about this but they weren't this specific...
so I have a Nexus One 2.2.1 stock, rooted with rageagainstthecage thing...
will my phone update to 2.3 as-is, or will I have to unroot the rageagainstthecage method first?
from 2.2 to 2.2.1 I had to uninstall Universal Androot (useless anyways) and reinstall some missing APKs that I had deleted (Amazon MP3 and GenieWidget)
Don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty sure that you will not get OTA automatically. However, as soon as it's out, it will be posted here and you can flash it manually. You will loose root though.
thanks, I hope you're right. Losing root is no biggie (hopefully a nice easy root method will come up shortly)
If anything it will be here before you get the OTA anyway.
Atleast that's what happened with Froyo.
Someone will logcat the address then DL it, then it will get mirrored all over XDA
Once it's here on XDA the flashing will begin long before the OTA arrives
question
I had CM6.1 Nightlies on my N1 with Clockwork, now I went back to stock recovery, stock FRG83 and I have my bootloader unlocked.
I'm wondering if the OTA will come automaticaly (probably gonna install the "XDA" version before OTA even starts going around)?
And I'm wondering if anybody knows what is supposed to be the criteria for the OTA to come automaticaly?
I was rooted with 2.2 and got the OTA for 2.2.1.
As far as I know you need a stock rom (rooted or otherwise) with a locked bootloader.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
are you certain about the locked bootloader?
Its kinda pointless to go back to stock and such if you like the CM nightlies, its what I run, because the first phones to receive the OTA will be the "Holiday" Nexus one, based on imei. It will be up on xda with many mirorrs and versions shortly after! If you remener froyo it will be like that. So just look here for the update.zip
Just my two cents
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Yeah I know I was just wondering about the update process, requirements, etc.
I love CM6.1, I'll probably go back to it when I'm fed up with Ginger there was another reason to go back to stock and that's that I still had ere27 stock backup and it was time to update the stock ROM to frg83 and back that up for the future
It doesn't matter if you have an unlocked bootloader or not, nor does it matter if you have rooted. You must have a stock recovery as the ota will use it to install, if it doesn't find it the installation will fail. Previous updates were available here for rooted users before the update went ota
i also was rooted but had a stock bootloader and recovery... got the 2.2.1 OTA. lost root though.
now for my question... i dont care if i lose root for gingerbread but since i rooted.. SU is in my rom and i cant delete it. i just dont want something on my phone that i cant use.
will the gingerbread update bring me to full stock gingerbread? or would SU be still stuck there. just asking since i rooted after i got froyo so im not sure.
If memory serves, with an OTA su will be removed, but Superuser.apk will remain.
Anyways, if you try this app, you should be able to regain root with ease, even if it's only to bin the files you don't want.

yeah i got root back because of that app! my main grip was superuser.apk was still in the phone without SU access. now im back to rooted i just left it there.
so basically if i get gingerbread and lose root superuser.apk will still be left in the phone? any thoughts? if so ill just delete it then install it back somewhere i could delete it if i lose root again.
I believe so, yes.
Bin it before updating to be 'safe', I guess.

is there an easy way to do it... say just delete it via astro file manager? this is the tutorial i used to root in the first place..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736271
.. lost root then i used the "one click root" that first appeared in the market, then lost root again after 2.2.1 then used visionary.
theres a lot more in the phone that was put in there by rooting (like busybox right?)... but i guess superuser.apk is the visible one since it shows on the app drawer so i wanna remove it from the phone and just install it via the market.
ASTRO can't do it as far as I'm aware, but it's easy from ADB shell or a terminal:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm /system/bin/busybox
and it's goodbye root (and busybox since you mentioned it).

You may not actually be rooted. When you installed ROM Manager did you read all the windows that popped up. One of them would have said if you weren't rooted. Did you get a popup saying ROM Manager is asking for root permissions? If not, you need to just run that whole guide.

Download Titanium Backup, open the program and hit the problems button, then it should download and install busybody for you. That may be what's missing. The other alternative would be to manually flash the recovery. I'll post that when I can get to a computer.

Try using ROM Manager to flash a new recovery again.
EDIT: If using ROM Manager again doesn't work, download this file and put it on your SD card. Then you can follow this post to manually install a custom recovery.

I have $ su and permission denied.What the hell is going on ?I can't stand this mobile.
Go back to my guide from post #2 and start from the beginning. After running the root test from SuperOneClick and getting "Success" immediately reboot the phone and then continue with the guide. It may just a take a few tries. Worse case scenario, you can downgrade.
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

reboot recovery

I did SuperOneClick re-root , I did it like it is in the guide but still nothing changed.I don't know what to do.
You could always try doing a factory reset and then rooting using that guide. Maybe something got hosed on the phone keeping it from working properly. Alternatively, can you post the lost from SuperOneClick here.
I did it 3 times.I have SuperUser now ,but I still can't get a new ROM ,moreover I can't put the recovery.
Hey i'm trying to root my Rogers Dream via this method...
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Rogers_Dream:_Rooting_(Post-911_Patch)
My problem is after completing the whole process I am still not rooted.
I think that nothing happens when i do this part...
chmod 666 /dev/mtd/mtd1
flash_image recovery /data/local/recovery.img
are there suppost to be messages after I type those in?
Basically after the whole process i can't get into recovery, and i do not have su permissions.
Thanks for any insight!
For your link, it says: "There is no text on this page".
Anyways, download RC7 (not RC29), sign in, download telnet from market, then when you have recovery.img on sdcard type in:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
and you should be rooted.
OR
follow these directions: http://theunlockr.com/2010/04/26/how-to-root-the-htc-g1dream/
OR download oneclickroot and root it that way to access "su" and flash recovery
Thanks I'll give those a try anyways heres the fixed link

quick question.
in the wiki under "D - Installing an engineering SPL" step 11 says to
Code:
"powerdown - fastboot oem powerdown"
I was wondering what exactly is meant by this?
I looked at fastboot.exe but none of the command line options seem to have a "powerdown" option. They do however have a reboot/reboot-bootloader, is this what step 11 is referring to?
Sorry I should also ask: Can I follow the wiki that describes how to flash CM5+ to flash CM6.1.0? Is the process the same basically between the two versions of CM?
I want to try 6.1.0 instead of going with 5+
Cheers

That is because its the oem command and the second option (powerdown) is up to the phone to parse..
Once you run 'fastboot erase system -w' and return to recovery you can install any rom you wish just make sure you have an ebi1 kernel.
You also may wish to check out the 2708+ compatible kernel thread to get some extra ram, warning however if you are a rogers customer you will need to sign the e911 wavier before you can switch to any other radio otherwise they will cut your data service.. if you are with another carrier there is no such requirement.
Thanks for explaining step 11. Not sure I fully understand, but I'll do some additional reading.
I was looking at some of your threads before. I thought the 15mb ram expansion wasn't available for the rogers dream?
This is my first time flashing, could I flash cm first then maybe try yours later?
The g1i have luckily isn't my main phone. I bought it just to get comfortable with rooting and flashing.

Hi,
I'm trying to root my TF and flash a custom rom.I've rooted and flashed a different rom for my moto phone before,but root+recovery for TF seems a bit more complex for me...
I'm gonna do that according to this thread:
[GUIDE] STOCK (8.2.3.9/8.2.3.13/8.4.4.5) to 3.1 (PRIME! v1.4) + Overclock!
However,I noticed that this tutorial skiped the steps below:
Code:
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
Which are shown in:
[UPDATED][Video] How To Root Transformer & Downgrade Honeycomb 3.1
Does it mean it's unnecessary to do the steps above if i'm going to flash a custom rom?If so,will the apps that require root work well on the flashed custom rom?(e.g. Using Root Explorer to modify system files)
Thanks in advance.
I'm confused on what you're asking. Why would you not want Superuser.apk is there a specific reason why you don't want it?
And you don't need to use that GUIDE anymore, its outdated. Use NVFlash. It's a one-step process to become rooted and use PRIME 1.4

It should work for all ROMs. Just use the instructions provided on that website. When you're done with those steps, you'll be rooted + on PRIME 1.4. If you wish to change ROMs, then just boot into Clockwork Recovery (already preinstalled!, steps to go into it: shut tablet off, vol down + pwr up) and wipe data/factory/dalvik flash the .zip.
And you're done! It's easy just like that. Much easier than downgrading to 3.0.0 then rooting and doing it yourself.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123429 is the thread on XDA for NVFlash. There is a video included in there so it'll help resolve any problems you might face. Although, you shouldn't really, its very straight forward.
Thanks again!
