Here is what I found for rooting, feedback please.

I found this as the first step: http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/10/how-to-temporarily-root-the-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-htc-glacier/
then this right after: http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/10/ho...s-off-on-the-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-htc-glacier/
I would like to know how this compares to gankin's guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
These vids I found seem like a really simple and effective way to root, but thought I would ask here since every site I google searched for info on rooting seems to bring me to this site.
Thanks.

please post questions in the Q&A section
the first video is temp rooting... the second one i believe is based off of grankin's first rooting method guide. I would go with the ultimate s=off because it gives you s=off on the radio and bootloader. it essentially SIM unlocks your phone and replaces the bootloader with an engineering bootloader.

Please post questions in Q&A section.

Sorry about that.

At the moment you can't get permanant root on 2.2. You can get a temporary root, but that wont let you edit anything on /system. If you can find someone with an xtc clip you can get your phone S-OFF which makes /system writeable.
Downgrading seems to be easy based off the 2 or 3 step by step guides I've seen on this forum so far.
Your questions are no different to any of the ones asked before by others, please use the search next time.

Downgrading will work, but, it will still be unrootable. As said above, the only way as of now to root 2.2 is by using an XTC Clip hardware box to get S-OFF, then, downgrade (this is a 'proper' downgrade) and root.

You can root your phone...
i have posted step by step instructions on my website on how to root any android phone running firmware 1.5 and above
since XDA wont allow me to post a link visit my website.. "ajknowsitall. webs. com"

Enough of this already, people. You need a XTC Clip for that, which costs about $220. This is the only way, for now.

Moderation needed!
Alot of topics about the same thing ...

anyone try his method?

I don't believe this. Because that process was not a newer one and was there long ago. If it worked, it must have became a lot popular by now. And "Universal Androot" is not a root application recommended for NAND locked devices like wildfire. If one has bypassed the nand security with xtc clip and made s-off, then this process might work. And once if u make s-off, there are many other rooting options available. But the point here is to root the wildfire with hboot 1.01 and S-ON dude.... Do not just stick with the thread title. Read the thread, he mentioned wildfire 2.2 clearly.
I doubt whether ur device is wildfire or not (if wildfire rooted or not). Check the below attached "Root and Me" application. In that, go to the root guides and check the compatible devices for "Universal Androot" process. There is no wildfire in that.
Just confirm any process after it worked with u guys.

Actually this thread was a bit fair one started on 21st march (and then reposted yesterday). There are a lot other threads recently started with the same topic. But still i agree with u.

U might not have asked this question if u know that his process is nothing but "Universal Androot".
Inspite of being aware, i just tried it for u. It won't work and says failed.
If anyone wants to recheck they might. Actually that process is little bit confusing. And im attaching a screen shot of that website below.
The process says to install "App installer" just to install an apk file. Cant we install an apk file from a file manager ? This is ok.
Then the process says just to enable usb debugging alone to transfer the apk file frm PC to wildfire. It not even says from ADB, so i expect it means to transfer through disk drive. Come on stop joking.

I found that this forum

was very helpful I am running droid 2.2 Froyo on a Cherry Mobile Candy
I was able to root my phone semi permanently. So long as I don't clear the data for the Z4root program I maintain superuser status. So far I have had no problems and have been able to remove bloatware using AntTek App manager with ease.

thanks man

Come on guys, let's stop reviving threads from a year and 2 months ago...

There is no easy way as in a one click root... If you search... most of the methods discussed here depend on which version of the hboot and if you OTA or not.. but they all lead to the same rooting method...
1. Downgrade your version
2. root
3 . flash with any custom rom or the official rooted rom

The unlockr has a nifty guide that takes you through everything. Yes, it isn't short. And yes, there were points I got stuck and searched for answers (most were in the comments to that page) but it's possible.

I have Atrix ver 1.7.5, how can i root it and update it to latest build?

Hello Everyone,
I have a motorola atrix which was given to me by my friend in usa as a gift, And it has a software version of 1.7.5 , I want to update my phone, but i cannot find the guide for rooting this version of firmware and updating it. Is this version unique? wherever i search i only get guides for other versions.
And one more thing, I live in nepal, and i am using my sim card, but if i update the phone will it be carrier locked?
Thanks in advance.

Screenshot
Oh, and one more thing, i have taken a picture of the phone screen, I've attached it.
Sorry for the crappy photo.

First off, this should go in the Q&A section. Second there is a Sticky Thread at the top of this section geared toward NOOBs...you should go back and read it, it has all the info you need.

Sorry for posting here. And regarding that N00b guide, i read it all, and from what i know i think the method for rooting different versions of firmware are different right? and there is no mention for the version that i am using. So i just wanted a little guidance.

This method works on all phones:
http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root
p.s. Your screenshot says you have 2.2.2 ATT Atrix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Meaning you can use pretty much any root method - Gingerbreak, Gladroot, preinstall, and CWM root after you unlock the phone.

The auto unlock/root method works wonderfully on our US devices

How to flash monthly updated without losing data?

So I'm on the stock rom from Google now and rooted my phone via TWRP to gain access to XPOSED and other goodies, how am I supposed to take the OTA updates? I tried downloading the factory images from Google and flashing the recovery of my build number, but that didn't seem to solve the problem. I know that I can use the flash-all script, but that would wipe my phone. So basically, what do I do? Also, is there a way for me to not have to flash new whatevers each month and just be able to take OTA updates no problem, or is that something that rooted users just have to deal with?

Dude. In this same section, approximately four posts above yours is a stickied guide from Heisenberg. READ IT. There is a section in the guide that specifically explains in great detail how to update to a new build of the stock ROM without losing data. After reading that guide, if you still have questions, feel free to ask.
