[Q] Atrix 4g. Any help would be appreciated!!!

First off im not a noob. i have/had a nexus s; captivate, att sgs2 all rooted flashed and the sort. my wifes atrix 4g is a mystery. it could be because i havent spent as much time with it as the other phones but anyway heres the prob: when she got her phone it was running either 2.2 or 2.2.xx cant remember but i rooted it using gingerbreak. then she did the gingerbread update on top of the root. here is the problem. the phone still has the supersuser app and looks like its rooted but its not. how do i remove all of the the components of the root then reroot? theres nothing wrong with the phone it works fine no problems whatsoever. a lil info any advanced users could use: system version 4.5.91.mb860.att.en.us running 2.3.4 kernel 2.6.32.9-00001-g41bc3e0 [email protected]#2 build# 4.5.91
any help will be appreciated. ill try to check this tread as often as i can. we just had a newborn 3 weeks ago and a 2yr old running around as well as working full time. feel free to send a pm with any question r possible solutions. thx

What makes you think its not rooted?
In any case, try "re-rooting" using the info in this thread.

Any app that requires root permissions says its not rooted. ill try that and see what happens. thx

Try Root Checker to see if you are rooted.

No, but CF-Auto-Root is pretty idiot proof.

I have my phone to automatically back up to google servers, will that restore my contacts and photos? Also is my phone still updatable through Samsung Kies after rooting.

Can't root phone with latest update

My son updated his phone last night with the OTA 4.3 update. He asked me to root it this morning, and it fails every time. It seems that Lookout is stopping it. I disabled lookout, but it seems to be integrated in the new software. I tried every method on this forum. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526635
There are also several other threads on the front couple of pages of the General and Q&A sections but you will need to read to find them. Good luck.

So by the looks of it, Im screwed.. Damn.

cf auto root works on rogers, but you'll trip the knox flag. if you dont use active sync (exchange) then you may not care. can still root and run custom recoveries on rogers. Just typed up a bunch of crap on knox, so not getting in to it again, but if I were you, i'd wait for a confirmed knox safe method.

Only direct links to VRoot are not allowed on XDA, but the discussion of it is allowed.

Yeah, I'm not sure why everyone is so pissy on XDA.

Vroot can be discussed just no links as stated... There are other threads regarding all this as stated by Scott. Please read and abide by the rules... Thank you...
Thread Closed

Possible root achieved? False alarm

Seen this posted somewhere, is this method authentic?

Yeah I was thinking that too, just wondered why 1. The date was May 29th and 2. It didn't mention it was Dev Edition?

Does the dev edition have a different build number on it? Everything matches to my device. Still downloading the files

Here is what is shown on the official site "G900VMKAVZW" soooo ?

I hope will work for the att version also

Here goes nothing....

Well, I got a pass!..but then root checker shut me down sooo I'm not quite sure what this is???

Nothing to see here. It's just a stock non-rooted odexed firmware tar. No different than what's on Kies.
That site/article is nothing more than a click bait.

So I got the Oden3_v3.09, and I went for it. Got the 'Pass' and now I get a different response when I go to Superuser, "There is no SU binary installed..." and TWRP manager crashes now. The good thing is, I didn't brick it. Next idea please.

As stated above this is merely a stock ROM which is why you were able to get a "pass"
