dont click YES
you dont need to do a test on it.
as long as it got that far it should be rooted.
do you have superuser app in your app drawer?
can you launch an app that requires root? like titanium backup?
logical troubleshooting.....

Try installing using app manager, Or push via terminal.

Yeah, worked for after uninstalling.

But now that I got it working, I didn't like the interference it has with the real keyboard.
Kind of annoying.

Isnt clockwork from that rom manager in the market? It has always striked me as android spyware, so to speak.
You best bet is to flashrec the latest ra-1.xx floating around here somewhere.

Try rebooting your phone.
I think at this point, you shouldnt backup if your running clockworld. Dont you have your original recovery.img from your initial root? Using flashrec, you should be able to flash that right back and get back into nandroid. (you kept your nandroid backups on your sd, RIGHT?!)
Even if clockworlds recovery isnt working, you shod still be rooted.

[ROOT]The FLASHABLE zip file for ROOTing Atrix 2.3.4 HKTW

Hi, after test for some times, i made the flashable root package for 2.3.4 (That the device has flash the leaked HKTW 2.3.4 and unlocked the device)
NOTE:
Unlocked Atrix 4G with HKTW 2.3.4
Please flash the CWM recovery first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
You should have a external sd card in your device, because the recovery cann't recognize the internal card
DOWNLOAD:
PLEASE download from the attachment, I'm really sorry that my site was down.
I think all of you know how to flash zip from recovery, so I'll not give hint about this, LOL

You can flash the official sbf file to restore to origin, like the 1.2.6 sbf

Yeah I think alot of people make that mistake. That's why when people ask I always say make sure to grab the "full" sbf not the service!
Thanks for the zip root method! Much appreciated!
Uses this and trying to flash with the newest CW build that is available with no avail.

how do i use this?? already have teh new cwm
now waht???
i HATE when pple leave out basic info, i got school work, i cant remember EVERYTHING EVERYTIME.
Hey, so, I ran into a slight problem.. It doesnt actually root the phone... Or so I've found. What happened to me is it worked perfectly, flashed via new cwm nicely, and I had SU in app drawer. I then decided to try and restore my apps via TB, and it doesnt let me batch anything, see anything, etc. It's like I don't have root. Then I tried getting root explorer and it FC's on opening the app. WTF?

This is because you didn't read my post carefully. You should have a EXTERNAL SDCARD in your device first! Because the recovery cann't mount the internal sdcard.

There is another way to check whether the root of your device work or not.
Run cmd in Windows or terminal in Linux.
execute the following cmd:
Code:
adb shell
su -
After you input the "su -" cmd, you should have a dialog to allow root access in your device. I.e, the root works. Otherwise, it doesn't work.
BTW, does your device unlocked and flash the HKTW android 2.3.4 rom?

TOO bad, the zip file should be flashed as the normal way to flash rom.
GOTO recovery then choose this zip file to flash.
BTW, you should copy the zip file to the external sdcard first!

ROM Manager not completing

Every time I do a ROM Manager backup, it fails with some sort of error that I cannot read because the phone reboots before you can actually read it. There are no log files as far as I can see and I would like to figure out why it won't complete the backup.
Where do I start?

I wouldn't use rom manager to do the backups. Boot into actual CWM and do the backups. I think cause it isn't a true recovery, cause it is bootstrapped might be why.

Personally I would start by booting into Clockwork and do a backup from there. Then the error message can be read (assuming you get one).

Yes. But it NEVER is successful if ROM Manager does it.

That's why a lot of us only use Rom Manger to update Clockwork and to boot into Clockwork.
Had a similar issue. Try checking "use external storage" in settings. Fixed it for me.

IF you can detect updates through erecovery then it is fine but if it doesnt show any file.
then you have to use 3 button update method to roll back to previous version rom.

Try to flash update.app through erecovery . Via 3 button trigger.
Actually u are in ndrm90-testkey
You can flash full stock ROM via dload
