Works on:
OLYFR_U4_1.5.7
OLYEM_U4_1.4.2
If you test it and it works on your firmware, send me a PM.
APK has tested to be working on OLYFR_U4_1.5.7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765

gingerbreak? does that apply to the atrix?

WOW, I hope to see an interesting turnout

Just looks like a different type of gaining root?

It's a new exploit. It worked on my friend's Evo 4G here at work, but I haven't tested it on the Atrix yet. If it works on 1.57, it might make getting root that much easier for us. Looking at the exploit he's using, it's very unreliable as it's an overflow exploit and not a logic exploit like most of the other current methods.

Hm. Giddyup and like always. Thanks for your hard work fen

Stupid formatting.

Sweet! Hopefully this carries over to the upcoming update

I get a permission denied error message.

So did this actually work?
Edit: glad your on it seven, I'm hoping it works on that telstra
Sent from my rooted and frozen Bell MB860!

I am very much on it... just trying to get everything working as I know it works, since I was able to gain root once but then never again... I forgot to copy busybox and therefore unable to preserve root.

I saw this earlier today while I was attending classes. Looks very promising for both Froyo and Gingerbread.

Ririal, seeming that this root method works for the telstra sbf, and we should be able to do cwm recovery, do you still think we should be waiting for the bell sbf? What is the "worst case" here? A bad flash before cwm backup?
Does anyone know if there are any different versions of the bell atrix so that the telstra would not work reliably on all bells?

on my at&t atrix, 1.5.7

so this worked? no more beforeupdate/afterupdate.bat needed now?

I'm pretty sure that the idea worked. You'll probably still have to wait for some kind of script to come out before getting it to work. At least unless you're clever enough to figure it out yourself. Based on what I saw in the new Telstra SBF root thread, it needs to be copied to an external SD, and then running it will obtain temp root. From there, you have to copy over busybox and such. Not sure if this will be the exact process of ATT atrix, but I guess we will find out soon enough.
Is anyone working on scripting out a version of this root for 1.57? Perhaps this will work for the new OTA update also...

I tried running this apk that someone put together from this exploit on 1.57
http://stealth.openwall.net/xSports/zimperlich.apk (it was in the comments of that blog post)
It ran successfully, but no SU available afterwards.

Download Root Checker from the market. Sometimes you're rooted but the su icon is not there.
If root checker says you're rooted.. then you just download superuser from the market.

Any suggestion what to do to regain root? downgrading will most probably not work due to the CSC issue i had in the first try..

Downgrade, then flash with Mobile Odin. Make sure EverRoot is selected.
Solution
Nah, that did not work.
What worked was this:
* downgrade (kk9 in my case)
* root + cwm
* upgrade to LA1
* again NULL error
* just flash the CSC file via odin
THAT actually did work and kept me root.
help!
hey donblick i have the same situiation as your's as mine is i'm not rooted and i want to get root my version is the same as yours N7000DXLA1 .My problem is also the same when i run the runme.exe after pushing 189 zerlings it says blue flames with hellions. So you said you have solve the problem by downgrading? can you help me how to downgrade? thanks

Spent hours and hours spread across many days trying to find out what happened. All you need to do is hard reset your phone and take out Micro SD card. Restart your computer to eliminate any usb driver conflicts (don't really need to do this step but you never know). Then run megatron_windows.

[Q] Unable to Root

I'm trying to root a new Droid 4 for a friend. I rooted one a month or so ago using Motofail without any trouble. But it's not working for me this time.
I'm running Windows 7 x64.
I installed the latest Motorola drivers.
I connected the phone to USB cable and let it install all the drivers with USB Debugging enabled and with it disabled. I did both in Charge only and Mass Storage.
One thing that is unusual in this situation is that the phone hasn't been activated with Verizon. I'm doing this so my friend can keep using his old phone until I have this one set up. I've done this in the past with several Droid Razrs but the other Droid 4 I rooted was already activated. If you think this is causing the trouble, let me know.
Model Number: DROID4
System Version: 6.13.215.XT894
Android Version: 2.3.6
Build Number: 6.5.1_167_DR4-1_M-215
I get the following in command prompt when attempting to root:

Can anyone help me? I know you can...
Sounds like your Motorola USB drivers are nonexistent or outdated. I would download the latest USB drivers and try it again. You cannot just go by the drivers Windows 7 downloads, you need to download them from the Motorola website.

It seems to me to go okay until the phone reboots... at that point the phone trys to activate and I wonder if that's messing up the system. Unless someone has a better solution, I'm going to activate the phone and then try it to see if it will make a difference.
Are you giving the program admin rights?

I give admin rights by right-clicking on run.bat and selecting Run as administrator? If yes, I've tried that. The problem isn't specific to Droid 4 as I just now tried rooting a Razr with the same results. It's telling me my "adb server is out of date" and then "device not found".
Can any of you guys tell me how to figure out where the problem is and fix it? It's weird because I've rooted 8 Razrs and 1 D4 before without a problem...
Unroot and reroot.

I was never rooted so how can I unroot?
Also make sure your phone is in charge only mode, and the screen is unlocked and on when the process begins.
Yes my phone was in Charge only with screen unlocked.
Thanks to all who are responding!
Try using the Droid 4 utility instead of just Motofail.
Then, like papi was saying, try running the unroot process to get rid of any trace of the exploit. You may want to boot into fastboot and run a data/cache wipe at this point. Then, run the root option again.
I got it guys!!! I copied five files from the Motofail folder: busybox, motofail, run.bat, su and Superuser.apk to my Android-sdk\platform-tools\ folder. I then ran run.bat as an Adminstrator and everything went off without a hitch. Yay!!!
But please, can someone tell me why it worked. I would really like to use this as a learning experience because I just spent a frustrating 8 hours or so fussing with this.
Thanks guys!

It could have been that somehow the program couldnt find those files in the previous directory
