Hi. I recently bought a Motorola Atrix HD. I am a new Andriod user. I came from ios but I saw jelly bean and made the switch. I don't know anything about root or installing ROMs. I do know the Atrix has a locked bootloader and that means it is hard to customize. I was wondering if anyone could show me step by step on how to install ROMs root and more. If there are any videos for the Atrix that would be helpful. I would also like to know how to install BataKang. Thanks
Sincerely, n00b

For Batakang ROM:

They are all self-explanatory and contain instructions for what to do. I cannot make an easier How To than the one I already worked hard on for Batakang ROM sadly.
Thanks. What about the jelly bean leak?

Installing the jellybean leak is simple, but more complicated if you want to be rooted on the jelly bean leak. Here is the guide I used to do it, worked great
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976956
If you are already rooted on stock ICS, pick up the guide in between steps 10 and 11 where it says "Edit: Neroga's post about retaining root is easier to follow." and work your way down.

Root just let's you do so much more. More power. If you're getting adb errors then it must not be setup properly...

It looks like your command prompt can't find adb.exe, best guess would be that run.bat isn't being run from the same folder as adb.exe!
1) make sure you extracted "motofail2go_windows.zip" so that you have a plain folder called "motofail2go".
2) make sure you double click "run.bat" from the motofail2go folder
-possibly try right clicking on "run.bat" and selecting "run as administrator" instead of just double clicking... not sure if this is necessary but it can't hurt!
I'm not good at explaining let me just get you a screen shot ...
Before you do those steps:
1) make sure drivers are installed
2) connect phone to computer via usb cable
3) enable usb debugging
4) leave your phone turned on, sitting idle: locked or at the home screen ect.
God bless
Oh, also did you do what it said to trigger the bug report? Triggering a bug report is a normal part of the procedure, it prompts you to generate a bug report even if it worked fine. After completing the bug report it should continue the rooting process.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THAnk youi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant post in the dev forum cause im new so i thought id post it here. When i try the motifail root i get the error that it doesnt know what the adb drivers are. I followed the instructions to a T and it said it was completed but when i installed root checker it said i wasnt rooted. ( just asking when rooting are you supposed to turn off the phone or do you leave i on because i just left it on. I installed the drivers but idk what is wrong.) I am trying to root so i can get jb. Thanks for a help. And if im posting thus in the wrong place please tell me so everyone doesnt hate me. Thanks
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
so you installed motorola device manager to get the correct drivers right? if so just wipe caches on your phone from within recovery (power + vol-up simultaneously with power off) and try motofail2go again. make sure you are doing the bug report button combo correctly. just keep trying
When im doing motofail do i turn off my phone?

Homescreen is where you start the process.
Make sure you have unknown sources checked in settings and usb debugging turned on.
And when the process is successful will something
Happen? Like will the phone reboot or something?

My plans are to add a reboot toggle and the 1% battery mod. I already saw Dan's root method for Jb but I kept running into errors. When I got to adb shell near the last step no matter what I tried it would tell me no directory of that name so I might wait until a one click root shows up. Shouldn't be long now that we actually have a root method.

You should have done a quick search first, or looked at the home page...
This is the link to the Jelly Bean (4.1.1/4.1.2) Root Method
Althought djrbliss never mentioned it was for AT&T's 4.1.1, it was assumed as it was Jelly Bean.
Just use an Ubuntu Live CD/USB, Boot/Virtual Box into it, and get the android-tools, and any other required packages...
So you obviously look that hard man.

First, make sure USB debugging in enabled, if it's not, go to options - pc connection and enable it.
1_)Enter stock recovery by holding power button + volume rocker down while your phone is booting until a screen with small texts appear.
2_)Select the option that contains word "ADB" (I don't remember it)
3_)Run the root tool.
That tool is pretty easy to use, you just need to google anything you don't know, I learned it that way and so should you in the future
