I got my mytouch(the older one, the one without the headphone jack). I have been trying to root it ever since then. but I can not do it at all.
1. I can not access my phone through adb NO MATTER WHAT, I have tried this in xp,7 and ubuntu. I always get no device found, but in fastboot mode, it is able to pick it up!!! Is there something that I need to enable on the phone? Or should the phone be in any special mode?
2. I have tried to downgrade to 1.5 using the sapimg, but it did not work at all. I would not mind using the goldcard method even though I have been advised not to do so. Even If I chose to use the gold card method, I could not do so since my adb method is not working properly!!!
Also my mytouch is unlocked, if that makes any difference.

do you have debugging mode on.. on the phone go to setting>application>development..turn on debugging mode... and do u have androidsdk set up??
p.s. go check out unlockr.com for a how to root they have videos
ADB works
Thanks, ADB works. Now I just need to get the phone rooted. I had no idea that it had to be enabled!!!
As for unlocker.com it does not work, its a spam site. I am going to try to root it again.

What is the error you are getting while trying to root using sampping.nbh?
I rooted my phone using unlockr.com, so unless you can prove things, dont start making statements about them.

This means your phone came pre installed with 1.6, you will have to use goldcard. There is no other way to root your phone.
Provide your phone information through fastboot. Turn off your phone, do back+power, then write your SPL (e.g 1.33.0004), radio (e.g. 2.22.19.26I), stuff like that is all on there. Then you can turn off your phone by holding down power again
Hey guys,
So my brother recently purchased a Bell Motorola Atrix. I have been trying to root it for him in order to install the hack where you can access the WebTop environment via a normal HDMI cable.
I tried SuperOneClick, and it says rooting successful (even after it does the test to determine if the device is rooted) and SuperUser does appear in the applications list. I also tried UniversalAndroot, also to no avail.
However, any applications that require root claim that the device is not rooted.
Are there any other ways of rooting this device? Or am I just doing something wrong? (keep in mind I have rooted several other devices with SuperOneClick, and those have all been successful)
Please help,
Thanks,
DS1495
look for "adeo" in the dev forum. try that
Try rebooting? That's what happened with mine.

DONT DO THIS.
He has a Bell Atrix.
I had to toggle debug on and off a few times before it would move past waiting for device.
Make sure you have the mkro drivers installed. Also the phone should be in phone portal mode, I believe.
Good luck

Thanks guys, aRoot worked wonderfully! First try!
I have tried the aRoot on the Atrix I just bought yesterday from Bell (I am now a bell customer :-( ) but it doesn't work. I must be missing something. I double click the script, it runs through all the steps, even says, rebooting at the bottom, but it does nothing. I press any key to continue, and nothing.
any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Figured it out, turns out it wasn't recognizing the adb driver.
nick78ru said:
Had this problem. While connected (as USB storage) uncheck USB debugging and and enable it again. Check in Control Panel=>Device manager for ADB Services (should be at the top with sublisting for Motorola usb device or smthing like that).
Then open command promt:
cd\
cd\AndroidSDK(or whatever you called the SDK folder)\tools\
adb devices
Let me know if it helps

So I got the Froyo update and it killed my ability to tether and root.
Seriously, Im even having trouble with WIRED tethering. Its not working and wont root.
Please point me in the direction of some noob friendly step by step instructions for installing a custom rom that is tethering friendly, along with any info for simply getting wired or wireless tethering to work after the Froyo update?
You shouldn't have installed the update.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Yeah I know. Is there nothing I can do now?
They say they can bring you back to 2.1 if you take it to the shop. Does the update do anything that prevents installing ROMs? When they bring you back to 2.1, will that fix whatever they did or is it in that version now too?
Why can't you root?
Because I accepted the update and the update killed root and tethering for me? I guess there was a way to upgrade without accepting that update.
z4root wont work, and also it says that the OS no longer has the drivers to support the free wireless tethering apps.
......Did you read the OP?
So how am I supposed to root if I cant even use clockwork to install new roms without root access? Am I totally ****ed? Should I just return this phone and get one from Verizon?
Yes I read the OP but the 2.2.1 update doesn't prevent rooting again. If it did, I wouldn't be rooted right now.
I'm not sure what you did or didn't do, but the one click method works.
hes never been one clicked. he only used z4root.

z4root is hokey. you need to use the oneclick root. its really simple.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770388
use this thred. it is for real root, not z4. also, the drivers are installed on your computer, not your phone.

Thank you for something helpful finally.
That makes sense. I tried installing it on my phone. Thank you for noticing that.
You know, if you wrote these instructions for noobs it would really help....For example, when we are dealing with not 1 but 2 devices, it might be helpful to describe which device is doing what. One minute I am doing something with the phone and the next its just "install this"....Dumb it down a bit, like you are talking to people who dont know anything about anything.
Anyway, thanks. Im going to try this now.

Don't feel too bad. I had to read that stuff several times before even deciding whether I should try it.
It keeps saying phone is not connected, even though it says USB-storage is enabled and I can access the files on my phone.
Don't click on mass storage.....and turn on usb debugging

The NON-One click solution seems doable but complicated, and I dont really know what I am doing.
Im thinking about paying somebody to root the phone properly. One person advertised in the SF Bay Area that I know of.

Thanks for the support. Im going to try this at least for another day or so before giving up.
OK. Now it says rage against the cage is missing.
The file is clearly there, but VLC media player wants to open it instead of anything useful.
do you use any sort of anti virus? it will remove things from the ragagainstthecage exploit. disable you antivirus for a few minutes and redownload the the rootpackage. im not saying thats what the problem is, im just saying antivirus clashes with the root method.
A little effort goes a long way. Getting root is easy for the epic. Install the samsung drivers, turn on usb debuging on phone, extract the oneclick folder and run the "run.bat" file and let it do its thing.

I had that problem also and it turned out that I was trying to run it from a networked drive. I had to unzip the file to my computer desktop then run the program from there before it worked properly.
If you check out this thread there is a how to video i made to root and flash a rom. Check it out, I think it will help you out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009997
make sure correct samsung drivers are installed on your computer (32 or 64)
download and extract once click root to your computer
Enable usb debugging on your phone (settings - applications - development - usb debugging)
Plug phone into computer
Run run.bat, wait, and enjoy.
Alright... I am having a bit of an issue... looking for interesting solutions.
Have a replacement MT4G with stock 2.3.4. I am trying to downgrade to Froyo so I can root it.
Unfortunately, my usb cable must not be working. It starts charging when I plug it into the PC, but Windows won't recognize it (I have tried different ports, and double checked drivers...). When I had my first Mt4G, if I needed to use ADB, I used a market app that allowed me to connect to ADB using Wifi. It has some limitations, but it is a good substitute if needed.
But those Wireless ADB apps only work with Root (at least the ones I found), and well, obviously that was the goal all along... so I am thinking temporary root... but didn't think there was a temp root...
Question: does anyone know of a way to access ADB wirelessly without root, or know of a way to gain temp root via terminal emulator so I could then connect via the wifi ADB app and be able to complete downgrade/permroot?.... or are there any suggestions for what I could do to get the USB working?.....anything would be appreciated.
I can use the SD card with my laptop.. so downloading/getting files on the phone's SD card is not a problem... just access to ADB is a problem.
PS: Since the USB cable still functions as a charger (if that is actually the problem), I am trying to avoid spend $40 for the replacement.... since I would really only need it once.
Did you try TrueBlue_Drew thread about adb/fastboot set up ?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
If you need to gain root access, there are other methods than the regular ADB .
Refer this post to find way that suits you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834225
If you need Wireless ADB, refer to this post.
Thank you both.... question however...
2kwic25: I checked the trueblue thread, and this seems to be a method for rooting which does not require the full sdk. However, it still uses the usb cable to connect to the phone. I am trying to gain temp root either through the emulator alone, or using adb (which is already installed on my pc) via wifi, but without having any su or root permissions as I don't have them and that is what I am trying to achieve ultimately.
febycb I read/scanned the link on rooting.... I went through to the end of it, and it doesn't seem to apply to the gingerbread 2.3.4 stock. This is what is on my phone now. I have a brand new phone, everything is factory locked, no root, s=on, etc.. The one post I found originally which seems to be the route most are using is to gain temproot, then downgrade to Froyo.... THEN attempt rooting to get a real permroot with s=off. So, in order to downgrade, I need to connect via USB, and use adb initially. But my USB does not work, so I am left with trying to connect via wifi. However, the thread on using adb over wifi seems to say that while you may not need to use su when running the necessary commands in the emulator, your device must still be rooted. So I cannot seem to figure out how to do this trying to use adb over wifi to get root, yet you need root to use adb over wifi.
Lastly, while I did note that your first link says only updated devices, I believe they are talking about the update to Froyo.
I guess this is the one main question I have:
Does anyone know -- or has anyone heard or read about -- a method to get temporary root on a MT4G with stock Gingerbread 2.3.4 using only the emulator???
Thanks... I am going crazy without root, and as said, I really want to avoid (as I am on a tight budget) purchasing another usb cable for $40, just to get a temp root.
I will try to sort out the issue as simple as i can
1. There is no method right now to root the 2.3.4 upgrade (even temproot).
2. To enjoy root access, you need to downgrade to Froyo (stock 2.2.1)
3. Do Permroot and then upgrade to GingerBread 2.3.4 or 2.3.5
4. Every post related to rooting is based on the stock Froyo Rom.
To downgrade, follow this post. Select the option best suited to you.
Also don't spent $40 for an OEM data cable. A replacement cable is available at price tag as low as $0.99
Just go to ebay & search for "micro usb cable". Just go through this link.
Have you installed the "HTC_drivers" file that comes on the root of the sdcard?
Possibly the reason why windows doesn't see it.
Or Make sure "USB Debugging" is enabled..
Not saying you haven't done either. Just putting it out there.

Thanks mahato... But yes. I have loaded the htc drivers, htc sync, pdanet.... All of them. Plus, I know all about usb debugging and it is on.
I have had it with this problem. The other thing that drives me crazy about my issue (which is why my phone was replaced in the first place, is that wifi calling keeps dropping), is that in my comprehensive research, I read one person's post that said that they confirmed that their 911 address needed to be filled out. Will I have done this and have done it through tmo. But I don't know if this was the problem, because I STILL KEEP GETTING THE DIALOG BOX which instructs me to complete my 911 address.
One more thing, since I need a cable to root this (which I know I can order cheaply), I might try to get a free usb cable from tmo...
But, before, I acquiesce to these problems and accept a new phone and just deal with it...
Can someone tell me how to confirm whether I have the ”bad chip” or ” bad screen”? I put a new screen protector on the new phone, and I thought that might be it, but I don't think so. My usual wall paper is the beautiful widgets living wallpaper which shows the blowing grass, etc.
However, when I look at my phone at an angle, the screen turns lighter, with practically zero contrast. I had read somewhere that this is a symptom, although I may be paranoid considering everything....
So does anyone know how to confirm a ” bad screen” or a ”bad chip” (I didn't even know there was a bad chip). Is there something I can check in the bootloader screen or something like that to confirm a component part number?

Reposted to new thread.
Ok, there are a lot of wrong statements in this thread and I don't have any time to cover them all.
Temp-rooting 2.3.4 requires running fre3vo. That's the only currently existing method.
fre3vo runs by exploiting msm_rotator.
I believe it's not documented whether the exploit absolutely requires link through ADB.
So, you could just try and see for yourself. In the worst case you'll discover that the temp root shell is given only to ADB and not to emulator.

If you are on OFFICIAL oos3.6.1 you can first try this method in android terminal emulator (from playstore, no idea if this works, cant test as i don't use oos anymore) and then install recovery this way
It is risky but it is an idea. If you'd rather have a phone without root and recovery than an expensive paperweight and you feel unsure, don't try it.
edit: btw, did you try cleaning your usb c port? i couldn't even charge op2 bcs there was so much dust in it. After cleaning with a small/flat toothpick it works as new.

Yes, this is right, it only works with root permissions in terminal emulator... didn't think about that sry.
Try using kingoroot apk, if it does not work you can (or cannot--> u have to try) downgrade to oldest oos avaiable and try kingoroot again.
If nothing works i'm out of ideas.

I had the same problem. The only solution I found after months of thinking was to change the USB flex cable inside the phone. It's really really easy and costs like 10 euros on ebay. Then I connected it to my PC and rooted it. I think there is no other way
