Are you on MDC or MDL firmware/software? You can check this by going to Settings/More/About Device and look at your baseband and software. If the last 3 letters are MDC, motochopper will work for root but if it reads MDL, go here....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277480

Chain fire's CFAutoroot is the way to go. I wouldn't even bother with Motochopper.

How to root Atrix 4G with 4.5.141

Here I share some instructions I found on how to root the Atrix 4G after installing the new update
After updating your Motorola Atrix 4G to software version 4.5.141 you will lose root access. For those of you want to root your Motorola Atrix 4G after updating to build 4.5.141 this is how you do it.
Keep in mind that when typing in the commands during the rooting process you will leave out the quotes.
Instructions to root Atrix 4G running Gingerbread on 4.5.141:
Download and Extract Fastboot Files (I was unable to post the Link, but you can go to "android-advice" website to find it)
Connect your phone to the computer via USB
Put your phone in fastboot mode (restart phone holding volume down button)
Open a command prompt and navigate to C:/moto-fastboot-win32
type “moto-fastboot.exe flash preinstall preinstall.img” press enter
Press “Vol Up” to initiate fastboot protocol
type “moto-fastboot.exe reboot” press enter
Your phone should reboot, wait for it to come back up
type “adb shell” press enter (to restart the shell)
type “/preinstall/dosu” press enter
If step 10 fails type “/preinstall/su” instead and hit enter
type “/bin/mount -o remount,rw /system” press enter
type “cp /preinstall/su /system/bin/” press enter
type “chmod 6755 /system/bin/su” press enter
type “PATH=/system/bin:$PATH pm install /preinstall/Superuser.apk” press enter
Reboot your phone

Does anyone try this method
I dont know if is safe and i read several ways to root the atrix and dont also know who method should I choose
Thanks
If you know what you are doing then it's safe.
It also depends on what GB Build you are on. AFAIK, this is the only root method for 4.5.141

I´ve just bougth it second hand and I understand it is sim unlock (couse Im using carrier named Ancel from Uruguay South America.
I also know that this atrix use to had root cause I can see all phones directory (but now I cant change permissions)
I dont know what would happen with carried unlock if I succed with this
Can U help me
From what I have read before, a SIM Unlock would not be affected.
You should be able to root and flash ROMs and all that.

I like these kinds of step-by-step instruction lists, and I had seen these on the android-advice site. Others have said that the 6th step (Press “Vol Up” to initiate fastboot protocol) should be done before the 4th step (Open a command prompt and navigate to C:/moto-fastboot-win32). As a relative "noob" at this myself, I wanted to seek the advice of experts on this forum to see if they concur that this corrected order is important.
Thanks.

I tried the steps just as they are printed and had no issues.
I will just advise you to read and read, look for videos, etc. before trying something you don´t feel you fully understand. Is important you identify exactly what device you have and SW versions, so you are sure you are following the correct instructions for you.
Hope this helps!

After letting AT&T update my ATRIX 4G from 4.5.91 to 4.5.141 several weeks ago... I lost root.
I found the instructions here on how to root 4.5.141.... and tried several times to root my ATRIX again.
Finally... today I got it. It is now rooted. And I then installed the Voodoo OTA RootKeeper to ensure that I don't lose root again. RootKeeper is a nice free app that even allows for very simple to use temporary unrooting and re-rooting.
Thank you... Thank You.... THANK YOU.

Suggestions:
Make sure you have USB debugging enabled. Shut down and do a battery pull and re-try.
I haven't tried Kingo with the new update, but the battery pull seemed to help on MJ7 and I have seen where others successfully used Kingo after the update.
I did have USB debug enabled. Kingo goes through the whole process then says root failed
It worked. Forgot to turn off anti virus on computer

If you are ALREADY on MJE, root with Kingo, then install safestrap
If you are still on MI9 or MJ7, boot into odin and install MJ7 tar, accept MJE OTA, root with Kingo, install SS, profit.
With the exception of the above info, check out my SIG and see the detailed step by step!
but i mean with that whole stealing IMEI and all that... just a worry and not a reality?

After gaining root with Kingo, there are steps in my SIG instructions how to install Chainfire's SuperSU which overwrites Kingo's superuser. Also, once rooted, I would uninstall Kingo app from pc, run quick anti-virus scan... I know dozens of users who have done this with ZERO issues, including myself.
As with ANYTHING when rooting your phone, it is YOUR call and your responsibility to change, add or remove anything related to your phone. But I can tell you, I have not heard of ONE verifiable incident of erroneous data collection or anything similar related to the use of Kingo.
Follow my steps, and enjoy! Don't forget to hit THANKS if this helped you and pass the word to others who would benefit from the step by step...
thanks man!! i hit thanks twice ill keep it in mind when i need it for tethering once they totally block it... once again thank you
Kingo is SAFE.
You also need to set your screen timeout to be 10 minutes and swipe to unlock your device to get to your home screen and leave it there while it installs.
You don't need to remove any PIN's or passwords you have, just get into the phone because Kingo will ask you to install a few programs on your device to get it to root.

I don't think ANYBODY can state that 100% although it does seem relatively low risk at this point.

Technically nobody can say ANY program that uses an exploit is 100% safe. Uninstall kingo from pc immediately (anti virus scan) install Chainfire's superSU immediately after root (overwrites kingo superuser)...

got my new Note 3 today, i let it install the newest MJE update right away. Followed the directions with latest Kingo 1.1.5, it just sits there and says it can't connect over and over and does this little flashing between the orange and red icon on the Kingo client. Running on Windows XP, going to try again on a different pc with Windows 7 this evening. Yes USB debugging enabled and screen timeout set to max (10 minutes). Tried two different cables too. Tried different USB ports, tried rebooting phone and pc.

[D855] Updated to V10E, lost and cannot root

I've recently updated to V10E. I used to have a rooted device with towelroot.
After upgrade (done via LG PC suite), I lost the root.
I tried to root using PurpleDrake, all screen instructions and actions go fine, but the device is not rooted.
Is there a way to root V10E version at all ?
PurpleDrake - Lite is the only method of rooting this firmware at the moment, and it does work.
If you are having issues then either its your pc, or you not following the instructions that is the problem.

What PC has to do here?
What kind of instructions are you talking about?
It's a simple ".bat" file that only requires to press Enter twice, that's about it.
Adb does see my phone, USB debugging is on and etc.
Temproot and Permaroot are being applied fine, no errors or anything. But it just doesn't work.
I can print a screen shot if you want.
By doesn't work what are you referring to? If the .bat file says its applying the files fine then it means it transferred the required files to your phone without error, there is then no reason for it not to be present when you reboot?
How do you know it didn't work?

You can't install SuperSU, or when you open super su it fails to find the binary?

that sounds like a separate issue. You do not need to be rooted to install the app from the Play Store, it just won't do anything if you install it without having root. The fact its not letting you install it is linked to some other issue, are you sure you don't have any other SU apps already installed, if you do remove them all first (including SuperSU if you have that installed) and then reboot before trying to download it again.

So originally, when I was on v10b and rooted with towelroot I had super su installed.
After that the phone told me there is OTA available which I immediately tried to install.
Since I also had dpi changed, OTA update failed. With that I lost the root, supersu disappeared from applications.
I then upgraded to v10e via LG PC suite. And now trying to root using PurpleDrake.
Super SU shows as not installed in Play Store. Titanium Backup doesn't see such apk installed.
I dont have any other "su" applications installed.
Any suggestions on how to fix it ?

Try to go to menu > settings > apps and see if you can see the SU app there.
Failing that your best option might be to factory reset and then root.

It's not there.
Also, as I said before rootchecker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en) says the phone is not rooted.
I assume it doesn't use supersu to check whether it's rooted.
That's the output from console.

never used it before, but I would have thought that it would request SU permissions which would require an SU app.
Did a factory reset and root works now.

[HOWTO] Converting your Retail Note 4 to a Developer Edition Note 4

This guide will walk you through the process of converting your Retail Note 4 to a Developer Edition Note 4. This means you have an unlocked boot loader and you are free to do what you wish with your device.
Requirements:
Retail Note 4 (Verizon)
Computer (PC, Linux or Window)
USB Cable
Samsung USB Drivers (If you are on Windows)
SD Card (Recommend a small one that you do not mind storing away for later)
ADB (Android Debug Bridge)
Root (Either Temp or Perm, that will not be explained here)
Samsung Unlock file (Creators Thread)
Steps:
- Verify you have an ADB connection to your device and you have root.
Connect your phone and launch ADB in either command prompt or terminal (Depending on your OS).
Type the following command to view the currently connected devices:
Code:
adb devices
You should see a list of devices. If not, verify USB Debug Mode is enabled on your phone.
-Copying the unlock file to your phone
After you have downloaded the file from ryanbg's thread (samsung_unlock_n4-2) we need to copy it to the device. You will want to make sure your current directory is the directory that the file you downloaded is in.
Time to push the file to the phone, run the below command:
Code:
adb push samsung_unlock_n4-2 /data/local/tmp/
-Connect to your phone
Type the following command:
Code:
adb shell
You are now in in a shell through ADB on your phone.
Elevate your permissions by entering:
Code:
su
You may get a confirmation on your phone for requesting root access. Be sure to grant ADB permission.
-Change Directory
Go to the directory we copied our files to
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp/
-CHMOD and CHOWN the unlock file
This allows us to actually execute the file. Execute the below commands
Code:
chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-2
Code:
chown root.root samsung_unlock_n4-2
-Time to execute
Running the below command will generate a warning and a requirement to enter yes or no. Read the warning carefully before continuing:
Code:
./samsung_unlock_n4-2
At this point you will see a few thing similar to this:
Code:
[+] CID at boot time is/was: 1501xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[+] device not yet dev CID, now changing to dev CID
[+] programming new CID 150100523231384d4100657e54fc1200
[+] success! powering off device, power back on and verify CID
[+] then run this binary again to finish the process
As binary states, your phone CID is changing is going to reboot.
Before turning your phone back on, be sure the SD card you are okay with formatting is inserted into the phone.
Once your phone comes back online, launch terminal, ADB shell, obtain root access, and change directories. Now launch the unlock binary again:
Code:
./samsung_unlock_n4-2
You will see the same warning and you will need to enter yes or no again. Once you enter yes, you should see something like this.
Code:
[+] CID at boot time is/was: 150100523231384d4100657e54fc1200
[+] dev CID matching, proceding to unlock
[+] backing up loaders, this will take a few minutes
[+] loaders successfully backed up
[+] success! powering off device, hopefully its not bricked!
Keep the SD card in a safe place. If for some reason you ever break your phone, you can possibly use the loaders on this card to fix it.
Power your phone up in download mode (VOL-DOWN + HOME + POWER). Your phone should now show Developer mode. If this is not the case, you either did something wrong or your phone is not a Verizon Note 4
i can say it is really appreciated that we have this ability but this blunt "we wont tell you how to at least temp root it" thing is kind of messed up because a lot of people have no idea where to go to find the right temp root for this phone. We have always needed root yet now we have unlocked bootloader which again is appreciated, but a little help with the latter would be nice.

To be honest if a person cannot find KingRoot, they should not be using this method. This mindset is shared by a lot of people on XDA. This is not a simple click and go type unlock, it requires someone to get down and dirty to get things done.

Trust me it wouldnt be the first down and dirty with rooting for me lol. But i have found it and will see if it goes alright and then i will try to link others to it to make it a little easier, at least with that part
can someone who has not done this, download and install brick bug app from Play store and post of screen shot of it running. I wanna check if Note 4 come with a emmc other than Samsung.
Well I did everything as stared and now it's stuck in a bootloop.
I wiped everything also. It does say mode developer though.
Couldn't get some help guys?
I can already hear the laughter
I have successfully completed these steps. However, I want to know is there any difference between this and an actual developer edition at this point?
I'm really kind of in trouble here. It only boots up in download mode and in recovery. It says mode developer but it just bootloop. Kies won't connect to it.
Is it possible to Odin back?
Thank you.

remove battery and sd card. Then insert battery and reboot.

To be fair, I don't even own this device. The exploit happened to apply to the Note 4 and we decided to make it compatible for you guys. That's why I can't really help you with it. Make sense?

Try pulling your battery and removing your SD card. Then try to wipe cache in recovery. Typically, you would unlock your bootloader if you wanted to flash custom ROMs/kernels. If that doesn't work, feel free to PM me and I'll help you as best I can.
Phew. Ty guys. Somehow I overlooked that lol.
It's fine now. I really appreciate it.

So I assume we treat this like a Dev edition Note 4 then as long as it says developer mode in recovery?
I'd hate to ODIN TWRP or CF Autoroot and brick it for real.
Thanks
Just ODIN TWRP and flash supersu in twrp.
I'm unclear about the directory part. If someone could clarify that would be great
Will this work on the latest Verizon OTA? LMY47X.N910VVRU2BPA1 (Android 5.1.1)
I'm currently on BOG5 - Safe Upgrade with the BOAF Bootloaders (hsbadr). Should I flash back to 4.4.4 and allow all of the OTA updates or is there a point to where this won't work?
Suggestion to OP: Update Step 1 on the Requirements to include which Android version we need to be on for this to work. I "assume" 4.4.4, because I've heard that KingRoot only works on 4.4.4. Please confirm this. Thank you.
EDIT: Also, Step 5 of the Requirements section, I assume you meant MicroSD card, not SD Card.

You would just copy and paste the commands into the ADB shell window.

K thank you very much for clarifying
Wait so do you need root to do this? If that is the case is there any way I could do anything with the note 4 on the latest firmware?
After typing Yes to confirm the warning message all I get is:

download brickbug app from Playstore and check emmc cid, if it starts with 15 only then can you use this process. If it starts with 15 it would be better to wait and see what comes up tomorrow.
