on at&t atrix how can I revert back to stock rom without un-rooting the phone? I would like root access but just use the stock moto rom that came with the phone?
I tired many methods including this one and no luck all I get is the moto boot loop
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600
Did you do a full wipe? Wipe cache, devlik, factory reset? It's easy to root the atrix so just find the stock rom version you want and if you loose root that's no biggy because you can reroot the device.

yes I did all of that and no luck other then boot loop though I foind a one click auto unroot script will that do the trick?
I would highly recommend just using one of the fruitcake roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009) .
For other things i would check these posts http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 as they were very helpful when i was working on getting a new rom setup.

Use the fruit cakes they are as close as you can get to stock after unlocking your bootloader and soo much safer
than rsd lite

Besides it's a pain to use RSD to flash stock... I did it recently and "Woah Sally!" it took several flashes for it to take. But it did take, after that I just re-unlocked/rooted from there. So I am not recommending my method at all, unless you have time to spare and don't care about your device.

Ok I am full rooted thanks to un-revoked.
I have downloaded the new update on my phone but havent installed yet, Battery was to low so gave me a notification in status bar to update later.
I understand i have to flash to the Amon ra recovery.
all i want is the stock rom, with the ability to use wireless tether and adfree, so obviously i need superuser permission.
Will i have to flash to a stock rooted rom?? or will i just be able to install these and be good to go?? is there even a stock rooted rom out yet??
Thanks for any and help. love the site dont post much cause normally i can figure things out, but wanna double check on this one.
Here you go.

Make back up and perform full wipes.
You must install the rooted Rom for precautionary reasons.
so should i even update my phone then?? or should i just flash right to one of these?? seems like it would be easier just flashing right too those since i currently have clockwork installed.

Simple answer is NO YOU SHOULD NOT DO THE OTA... The rom is out there already (rooted versions)

No difference really. Just flash the odexed version and that is all. No kernel needed.
I'm not familiar with cwmod so I can't guide you through the flash but also you need to have an updated version.

Sorry if it has been posted somewhere else I searched but I couldn't find anything to help
Hi, what ROM did you used?
If you're using custom ROM, not stock ROM, it has already root.
nope im trying to root my friends phone for him he's on stock rom. i have rooted lots of other phone with superoneclick without any roblems but this ones a bit tricky :\
I'm afraid that you will have to flash custom ROM into it.
How can I flash a custom Rom onto it if its not even rooted?

You DO NOT have to root the GT540 to install Custom ROMs. You will need to flash a "Fastboot ROM" to install Recovery and Custom ROMs. There are plenty of guides here and on MoDaCo on how to flash custom ROMs. If a guide tells you to root your phone before flashing a ROM, don't. You don't have to.
Hope it helps,

No problems mate, It's just the GT540 differs from the rest in this case. I still stick to my views and think every phone should have an unlockable or already unlocked bootloader, Where no flash or w/e is necessary lol

My buddy with a Droid X that I rooted for him and installed GummyJar on went in to rom manager and tried to install a Gingerbread-based ROM. I assume that you can't do that until you upgrade to stock gingerbread first because it didn't like it.
Now it appears to be in a boot loop and I can't get in to clockwork recovery. What do I do?

No because you will lose root unless you don't want to be rooted. The OTA is unrootable at the moment
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
This will help
Follow the instructions below to return to froyo or upgrade to gb rooted or not.
Check out these links.
Link 1 makes a linux CD that you can use to SBF back to Froyo in about 10 minutes. This is a very easy method to get back to froyo. If you can burn an iso file to a CD then you can do this method.
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...-solution-your-windows-rsd-lite-problems.html
Then you can use z4root and install pre-rooted GB using the 2 flash method at link 2. Make sure that you use Droid 2 bootstrapper and not Droid X bootstrapper to install the rooted GB.
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/28/download-official-droidx-gingerbread-4-5-596-for-rooted-users/
Follow the instructions closely for ensured success.
This can all be done in about 30 to 45 minutes depending on your computer skills.

Gingerbreak does not work with .596 (OTA version of gingerbread). Must install pre-rooted version.
OK, you're the boss but glad it was written so others would know. So many details needed to be said. Thanks
Anyone know? I'm running a rom right now but I want to get back to completely stock like it was brand new.
1. download original firmware.
2. flash it via flashtool.
3. flash relock bootloader via flashtool.
You are ready to sell your phone
Or use wotanclient
Sent from my LT18i using Tapatalk
Hi. Are you sure you will get back to completely stock like it was brand new ?
I' know when you unlock the bootloader you can't restore DRM rights via flashtool or wotanclient. To check it after flash try TrackID app. If it will not work you will not have DRM rights so your ARC S will not be completely stock...
The phone will remain rooted, no matter use of Flashtool, Update Service, neither PCCompanion. Superuser will be there, so it'll show the rooting to Customer Care

That is so NOT true.
By reflashing firmware, any system modifications (including root elements) are wiped.
I don't know how to use flashtool. I'm only used to flashing roms via fastboot and cwm.
Can anyone explain further? Thanks.

I still don't get it. I understand the relock process, but how do I get the stock rom on there first
now that you have relock you can now flash the stock rom in FTF format file to flash with flashtool then youlll be back in stock rom with bootloader locked....

Aaaand BINGO! I was .42 stock at the beggining, changed around, back to stock, only this time i took .62 and "voilà", unrooted.
Hey people it seems as though I lost root or at least "don't have proper root access" after flashing CMB rc3 ROM. I somehow updated SU binary but still am having issues gaining full root. If anybody has any information on how to help me it will be greatly appreciated.. I am also willing to go back to stock ROM and see if that works somehow but I forgot to backup stock ROM(I know I'm a moron) lol. I had the 4.2.2 OTA D80110g version prior to flashing to CMB.. Would greatly appreciate any help.

Hey thanks for your assistance but I wound up just downloading the rooted stock OTA ROM and re-flashing it and I'm fully rooted again. But do you by any chance know how to fix the issue of losing root after upgrading to 4.4? Does what you told me to do fix that completely and keeps me fully rooted on 4.4? Sorry I'm pretty new to this stuff.

if you flash to 4.4 aosp rom, you have to go into developer settings and set root as apps and adb. this will give you root access.
Assuming that you know what you have done, this is the very first case, not only in this G2 subforum but entire XDA site, that I've heard installing custom ROM and lost root.
The first reply hit the nail on the head, some ROM don't have root for example Omni ROM in originaaal android development....you flash supersu zip after ROM and gapps....looks like you have everything going good, good luck man!

Hey man if you want 4.4 is simple just download the supersu.zip and when your in recovery do the correct wipe then flash ROM and gapps then supersu zip then reboot!
Most Roms have root already like Paranoid android, Mahdi, aokp......Roms like the one you used and omni you need to flash the supersu zip afterward that's it
Yeah check developer settings for root or flash super su zip, also slimkat and others have working root.
