[Q] Noobie who stupidly upgraded stock Atrix to 2.3.4/4.5.91

Hello all,
I am a noobie with a Motorola Atrix 4G MB860 AT&T USA Android 2.3.4 / 4.5.91 never before rooted/unlocked/[insert other adjective here] which, as you can guess by looking at the version numbers, I stupidly upgraded before realizing, "Oh hey, rooting this device might be a good idea."
Question is simple: Can I still root this device (and if so, under what conditions?), or do I have to wait?
It's been tough sifting through these forums, since most people already have rooted their device at some point or another and people who have never done so are, ahem, not very clear about their questions.
I haven’t tried particularly hard, but I have looked at SuperOneClick 2.1.1 (hung on "waiting for device"), moto-fastboot32 (tells me "unlock" is not supported, unsurprisingly), and I just downloaded the ATT-2.3.4_Pudding_preroot.rar although I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do with it.
Cheers,
Edward

here you go..

when you get to line 6 and enter this command..
/preinstall/dosu
it'll look like an error was made. Ignore it..keep typing the commands.

I also used this link the other night to root. Its easy enough and applies to the firmware that you're currently running.

Are you expecting a new root method every week? preinstall it's the best+ newest way to do it.

Yeah if your lazy or scared to play the cmd prompt to utilize preinstall method on your own, use this. But preinstall is easy way to root.
Too many of these kind of threads going around....

I guess searching for "2.3.4 rooting" is just too hard.

I've been using Gingerbreak on both of my Bell stock FWs with no issues.
Does Gingerbreak not work on AT&T Gingerbread?...
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App

Nope. I had to use the method mentioned earlier in thread.
Edit: I should say it didn't work for me but there have been reports of it working for others.

Didn't AndroidCentral have an article up on rooting with a locked bootloader a few days ago?
From the Mighty Atrix 4G

Run the script from this thread. Works great..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871

The only thing that bugs me more than newbs who can't be bothered to search are newbs who can't search, are told the answer and then assume the answer is wrong and they know more than the people trying to help them. Way to join the forum genius.
For the record, there are literally 50+ threads asking this very question since the OTA hit. I even put the answer in my signature once someone helped me out with it.

I would suggest trying out cyanogenmod 7 (link below) first to get used to flashing a new rom. The installation steps are quite straightforward and you will have lots of fun (!!) flashing all the roms on offer.

Then you aren't unlocked. You should probably read the Atrix stickies to get up to date on everything and read the links members put up for you in this thread. If you still have trouble, I will be glad to help.

yeah now trying to unlock the boot--if any i"ll post here...thanks...

Remember to be very carefull when unlocking the bootloader, and flashing a rom for the first time, it can brick your phone. Good luck!

I'am also and noob, but this is what I did to instal CM7 Rom. Don't forget to back up your stuff.
Go through the instruction on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
Download from megaupload is not available, the alternate link is
http://www.mediafire.com/?x4m1ul78tzwsdmc
Follow the instruction.
After this download superuser from market and then root manager. Open root manager and select Flash ClockworkMod recovery, it will download CWM and CWM will be flashed. Open root manager again and select back up your current ROM, it will ask confirmation and then reboot and do its thing and again reboot. After that download the rom you want to flash and copy it to your internal SD card (don't unzip it, copy the zipped file). Go to the ROM manager and select Install rom from the SD card and select the rom you just copied. It will ask confirmation and then reboot and do its magic and you will have your ROM installed

You didn't have superbrick probably soft brick wich its hell easy to fix about drivers you probably didn't even have them installed.. The port in Pc has nothing to do with unbricking.... And read hell lot more before you really damage your device you just got lucky

bricked is done ... Note gets bricked when you do a wipe over stock ICS Kernel ..
To my best knowledge we still do not have a way to recover your phone without sending it to Samsung Service Center...

Updating GT-I9070 from Gingerbread 2.3.6 to Jelly Bean 4.2

Hello everybody,
I'm starting this topic apologising for not being that good in modding Android devices.
I own a Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 which runs Android 2.3.6.
Following many tutorials I managed to own root permissions and to load a different firmware on my device, which now is like this:
band version I9070XXLD3, kernel version [email protected] #2, build version GINGERBREAD.XXLD3.
I am very happy with my smartphone, it's very quick, all perfect.
I would like to update Android to a more recent version, possibly the last one.
What can I do?
On the official Android site, under the pèage Device Gallery, I couldn't find my model ;-(
Thank you

There is no latest update for I9070 than the one you have now. No 4.1, and no 4.2 too.

I understand.
Sorry for not posting the title in the correct way, meaning "[GT-I9070] - Updating from Gingerbread 2.3.6 to Jelly Bean 4.2". I tried to edit it, but couldn't.
So I guess there's no way to update & upgrade my device, even if it's owned by root permissions.
Thanks anyway.

No the rom never updates your baseband so youll need to install that yourself!

Any clue as to why it went back to stock ROM after a reboot? Did I do something wrong or miss something?

Is your charger plugged in? Did the same thing for me and I unplugged and restarted again and it booted to the correct ROM slot.

Thank you
First off, thank you for making one thread to contain all the questions, second, thank you for the awesome rom. I have it installed with almost no problems. I have hangouts with sms and it will crash when switching conversations sometimes, not consistently though so I haven't submitted a bug report. Right now it works great.
