Hey guys, total noob on this stuff, but pretty decent in general. Need Help Unrooting My Rooted Moto Atrix HD Jellybean (motochopper root), please help. Damsel in distress or whatnot
You can uninstal root within the super su superuser app. Or search the store for root removal apps.

No reason really, just been debating it within myself to and wanted to know how in the case I decided to.
A couple more questions, please, will my rooted phone still update like a stock phone? Also, does anyone else with the Atrix HD have this same problem, when my battery gets low, it will literally jump from 14% to 4% in a matter of seconds...?
Thanks for the help guys.

There will be no more updates from Motorola so yes and no to your first question. An official update would update even on root, but you would lose all root privileges and have to re-root.
Yes on the battery problem, but since I've been using PACman and put the eb40 MAXX battery in, I haven't been close to dead battery for a while, so I can't tell you if it's been fixed.

I'll have to look into the MAXX battery you're referring to. I've tried a couple of the *battery saver type programs with absolutely no luck, unless performance is reduced significantly, and I will choose performance over battery life any day
The MAXX battery mod is buying an eb40 battery (which is the one in a DROID RAZR MAXX) and installing it in the Atrix HD. There are a couple of great tutorials on YouTube that show you how to do it.
//I got my battery off of Amazon. Make sure it's coming from a reputable source. Sometimes people send fake batteries out.
The mod only needs minor surgery to make it fit. Follow the steps and tutorials very carefully and you'll have a super long lasting battery in no time.
Yea man, thanks for all the great advice. I have actually just ordered one a few minutes ago, from amazon as well It was $47.00 shipped, and if it fixes my crappy battery problems then it will be worth every penny. I've been having to charge my phone on and off three or four times a day for a while now, I'm really grateful for the advice. Major Thank You!! I'll update this thread after I get it installed and use it for a day or two. Can't wait! Seriously, I'm excited here guys! :good::good:
Well, while we're talking, let me ask you this as well, off topic. I downloaded a Windows7 ROM for my phone, but never installed it because I'm not sure how to, I know it's not like a regular APK. Any advice on the custom ROMs? I'm sure there are several threads about it, just asking you while you're here, I guess just making small talk ya know.

If you didn't download it from the Atrix HD forums I'd say don't use it.
There are plenty of tutorials in Atrix HD general and the question/troubleshooting sections. There you can find a lot more info than I or anyone else can explain in one post.

post your droid 4 mods or hacks here! I myself do not have any of said mods/hacks, but im sure someone out there does!
Looks like a 1.4ghz oc has been ported:
https://code.google.com/p/opptimizer/downloads/list
interesting on the OC.....I won't try it yet until I have an sbf or some sort of serious recovery option. Do not want to soft brick my new phone just yet. Thanks for posting that though!
I do not know if you really call any of this "hacking". I used TiB and froze all the bloat(will not uninstall until SBF option). I used rom toolbox and stopped a lot of programs from auto opening, increased wifi scan interval to try and save battery a bit. I changed my boot animation to the Nexus one....what else........I was going to attempt the script by naven to flip flop the internal storage and mem card but I dont think I want to just yet. I suppose this is just more optimization than anything...but it did make the phone a bit peppier. So far this phone is great, I really like it.
Stupid question, but how close is the Droid 4 / Razr in terms of hardware? Can a ROM from Razr be easily ported on to the Droid 4?

I dont think thats a dumb question at all. They are very similar. I used the Safestrap from the Razr and all is working fine on my 4. I really want the battery % for this though...I am going to try the UOT kitchen tonight and see if I have any luck.

As far as radio & processors, it's pretty much the same as the RAZR, but with physical keyboard & an upgraded CMOS sensor on the camera, any ROM from a RAZR would need some pretty heavy modification to work with the D4.
It won't be as big as if you were starting from scratch or modding a D3 ROM, but it's still going to be a process.
Are there only like 5 of us that got the Droid 4? haha :-\

Agreed. This is the first time I've had a "brand new" phone, meant in both ways. The last phones I've had, already had the SBF files(since I was using D1 and D2G). How long has it typically taken, in the past, for them to leak those files? I can't wait for them to release to start playing with files and trying new things.

There are plenty of us who got this new beautiful beast... thing to remember is that people are apprehensive about a few things so we have to report well to get more people to commit to it and also, the phone wasn't advertised at all and it only came out a week ago. I already have 3 of my friends contemplating buying one since it was rooted in a day, wifi tethered in 2 and OC'd in less than a week. The developement for this is going to be awesome once the ball gets rolling. WE HAD ROOT THE DAY IT CAME OUT... come on... lol

We had OC and tether the day it came out also. I was testing it for the dev of AWT and the same developer created the modules for OCing....those were already setup for the razr. We just wanted to make sure they would work with the d4 also. JUST FYI.

Hey guys!
It has been a while since I have stopped over here to the DROID 3 community and peeped a "Hello" in so I thought I would say Hi and get ya up to speed on where I've been.
So I last posted around uhhh maybe 3 weeks ago here and as some of you know I recently bought a Droid 4. I have been in the Droid 4 community for all this time, and a lot of people from the D3 community moved to the D4 like me.
Most went D3 > D4, but I went D3 > Bionic > D4, but nonetheless I got a Droid 4.
If I have to say anything the Droid 3 development community was the NICEST community I've ever had the privilege to have an experience with. I know I didn't have my Droid 3 that long, but in the short 4 months I had one active, I had my best experiences. I developed, I leaked updates, I never got b**ched at for asking a simple question (P.S. Droid Incredible 2 community) and EVERYBODY was nice. Still is nice.
I miss coming here. I seriously do. I reached out to this community for prayers for a personal problem, and I almost NEVER post anything about something as serious as that was when that happened with my nephew and his grandmother. I almost NEVER post something that serious but I had grown so fond of all of you I knew I could trust you guys by posting it. I was right. I will most likely never meet a community as nice as you guys are.
Even though I had bad luck with the Droid 3, I loved my Droid 3. If anybody wants a new phone, a Droid 4 is a great option. I love mine!
I wanted to stop by and say that I will try to come around here more as I know more about the Droid 3 and Droid 4 then just about any other phone out there.
I'd also like to know how everybody has been doing. Just to say, my family is fine and recovered from our bump in the road back in early May (or Late April; I have a hard time remembering the time period) and nothing serious has happened since then.
So I thought I'd post this and let you know about my whereabouts and say Hi.
Don't hesitate to respond!

Things have definitely slowed down here.
I wanted the Droid 4 (don't think I can get it here in Canada) but what's with the back cover removal tool? Kills me.

Maybe off ebay and then unlocked it, which is what I was planning on doing since they released that update which unlocked the GSM functionality.
LaZiODROID,
I bought mine off of here, on XDA in the marketplace. Then I loaded up the latest leak at the time, no unlock required! It just comes up and says unknown SIM when it boots up... Not a huge deal. So far it's way better, and it gives me better bettery life. I think the Bell XT860 really liked being on 3G, but this one doesn't mind going onto EDGE when 3G signal is bad (which is most of the day for me in the office)

I am waiting to WP8 to launch before I switch to WP, how do you like the raider? I suggested my friend to get one and loves it.
So, as most of you know a root for the AHD came out yesterday. I wanted to say thank you to everyone that worked hours and hours on getting the root, even though Dan gets the money lol. But there are many new comers to android out there, including myself. Coming from the iphone I can tell you everything you can do once you jailbreak and iDevice, but what all have you guys done after you rooted your device. I have owned one android and played around for a while on many, but most of which were completely unlocked and had new roms installed ect. ect. So I thought it would be a good idea for people to be able to post what all they have used the root for so far, so maybe we can use those ideas and make this phone even more awesome.
The first thing I did do was calibrate my battery and have noticed a little bit better life today than I do most days.
I also uninstalled some of AT&T's annoying bloatware (which IMO belongs on NO phone)
So share what you did and give some ideas to all the readers!!!
Thanks again Dan for the root and I know Matt worked for hours and hours on it, so I would like to thank you too

Lol I was thinking the same thing. The EB40 is an awesome upgrade and I def considering it. I just am at home and work where my phone can be charged all of the time anyways. Not to mention once we get some bloat free roms that run more efficiently, the EB20 should be okay.
After rooting,I install RootExplorer,SQ Lite,Titanium Backup,etc.

Hey guys.
Just got this phone yesterday, haven't done much expect the obvious few apps (Facebook, ect...) Is there any way for me to improve battery life and the general way the device works? I know nothing about rooting and would only even attempt it of there were a 1-click method. I think it installed Jelly Bean a few minutes after I turned it on, but I'm not sure. I installed Cache Cleaner by Infolite, because it helped keep my last phone from rebooting, but I'm not sure I need it here. Do I?
I just got out of the hospital so my main concern here is just that it works good and is reliable, I would love to get the best battery life I could but like I said, I'm not really the mod type as I have no experience with it.
So, I would be grateful for any info you guys could give me. I'll post a screen shot to give you guys a better idea of what my device is running specifically.
-Thanks.
Yeah your running jelly bean. And currently its not a 1 click process. As far as battery life goes you could put the razr maxx battery in it and it'll last for a day.

You wont brick as long as you follow the directions, its hard to explain why this rom is gonna help you out, its fast and deletes bloatware, and allows you to optimize your battery life so that theres less usage like when the screen is off, it saves a lot of battery life.
I would love to do it if it's gonna help, but I just don't have enough faith in myself to try it. Like I said, I just got out of the hospital (psychiatric) and my nerves are still a bit wonky. Maybe a 1-click method will be released soon and I can give that a shot at some point.
Sorry to hear that,
For now just disable every att app keep GPS off keep wifi off when not in use brightness low, close apps.

try to calibrate battery
1. Once your phone dies plug it into your HTC charger, (DO NOT TURN IT ON)
2. Let it charger fully (about 3 hours) until you see the light turn green, unplug the phone
3. Turn on the phone on but do not mess with it. (no checking email, messages, etc) let it sit for about 20 to 30 min
4. then plug it in again but let it continue to sleep (about 30 min)
5. once the light is green, unplug and your finished.
this is called a jump charge (DO NOT DO THIS ALL THE TIME)
the phone knows what your doing and it should re-calibrate any phone.
Thanks, and hey. I just noticed you're from Raleigh. I used to live on the south side near Garner. I'm in South Carolina now though, it sucks.
Not to be a bother, but I was thinking I'd switch my SIM card for a BYOD Net10 or Straight Talk one and go prepaid for the time. Any info/thoughts on how that might effect the phone?
Also, if my noob questions are getting tiresome feel free to tell me to shut-up. I'll understand.

Haha, Raleigh sucks. I'd just stick with at&t and then calibrate the battery.
Just wanna introduce myself. I'm Matt, and I just picked up my G-Flex yesterday at T-Mobile. This is my first LG but not my first android. I've been rooting, unlocking, modding, theming, bricking, and recovering androids since the DROID 2 days. I'm not claiming to be a dev, but I do know my way around android/ Linux. I am a crack flashing android whore. I was on the RAZR maxx when it came with Gingerbread 2.3.4 and stuck with it through JB 4.1. Moved on to the RAZR HD MAXX on ICS 4.0.4 and followed a couple of the best devs Hashcode and Dan Rosenberg. Was one of the first to profit from Dan's RAZR HD MAXX bootloader exploit. Big props to the first ever to crack a Motorola bootloader.
Shortly after I moved on to the Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337. I can't count the soft bricks I recovered from before Loki and Odin files where released. Bad thing was my phone being rooted was able to be my hot spot, so when bricked I had no way to look up or ask questions. But I some how through trial and error recovered.
I now have the G-Flex on T-Mobile and within a few hours of purchase I'm rooted thanks to the IoRoot method. Thanks to the cat that posted the thread on here for that one in this same General Forum section. And needless to say I've already bricked it twice tonight. Just recovered it and got booted back up and set up.
With all that said, I'm not afraid of testing or helping with any development. I'm not afraid of brick, cuz I'm sure with all the talented devs on xda and myself, I will recover.
Luckily I made a back up of my build-props, system, and recovery so I was able to restore and push thru adb. Also wiped cache, dalvik, and system via adb. And reboot back to stock out of the box. But still a little puzzled how I kept root. Not complaining just puzzled.
If there is anyone working on a TWRP or CWM and Loki please message me and let me know what I can do to help. Like I said I'm not a dev and not claiming to be at all. I'm just brave. And mainly don't know where to start with porting a recovery much less Loki. But I can test and I take instruction well.
Hope I can help excited with the potential of the G-Flex....

nice post man:good:
I think we are pretty close to a recovery here, as a few folks are working on it.
Just like any new phone, it takes awhile for it to "catch on"; especially when all the "reviewers" have been slamming this phone for various reasons.
That makes people slow down jumping on it, but this phone is really fantastic, EPIC battery, great display, fastest phone out right now, and, the more that people ignore the idiot reviewers, and grab this thing, the sooner the development will take off.
The "problem" is that it's so awesum stock out of the box, that there isnt a sense of urgency to mod it! :victory:

I have no issues stock with root, i already debloated it and its running like a champ. I have the inverted mms app and am loving my phone right now.

I'm loving it too. I'm rooted still and have installed XPOSED installer with "App Settings", "Xtheme engine beta 5"( with HUE theme) , and "Xblast" I've got the same inverted MMS. And I used APP Settings mod to changed the system UI, stock browser, and MMS ppi to 260. And used HUE theme for that AOSP blue feel. Used xblast for nav bar color change. I like the blue / Vanilla look. I guess that's cuz I'm a product of ICS and motoblur. I'm user android tweaker to speed things up a bit and to smooth out scrolling. And Android Tuner Pro to trim on boot and manage things a little. Snap dragon's Battery guru has always made a substantial difference in battery life, but its still in initial learning so I can't give a review on it for the G-Flex. But can't wait to get custom recovery for it and feel lot more comfortable diving into the modding/theming a good bit more.
I've noticed the stock launcher and settings, well really most the stock lg apps are very similar to Touchwiz. I've already tried out the Google Now launcher and "OK Google" does work from the home screen. You don't have to hit or exe any part of Google to be able to take advantage of the hot word command.

I I'm using an app called WIFI TETHER Beta 3.3. It seems to be working just fine. Doesn't ask or check account for subscription.

Nice post @Matt. You probably seen me over @droidrzr.com , I ran the site for the first two years. I picked up the Gflex for ATT a few days ago.
TBH i love this phone. Yeah,its not running the latest version of Android and it has a few quirks however, the reviews from all over the net are killing this device imo.
Tethering, have you tried the good ole SQL hack just to see?

fortunately, many of the smarter folks out there, that use XDA, dont pay alot of attention to what a bunch of DB reviewers think about phones..I had a one maxx b4 this, and it too was a great phone, slammed by most reviewers.
this phone is tons of fun, and we're pretty close to custom recovery,and a flood of roms.
Yes I have. The hack with SQL by going to settings storage/settings/ then change the authorization line (forgot exactly what it was called. I would know it if I saw it) from a 1 to a 0? Yeah I went looking for it. The way I understand it is they have figured out how to make that one obsolete. Seems as if its a little deeper into the their end of the monitoring rather than the phone just check account subscription. But I using the good ole "WIFI Tether beta 5" apk from a couple years ago and it seems to work. Hasn't added any more data to my WiFi tether usage. And yeah man I remember you. And droidrzr.com. those were the days when I was a crack flasher and barely knew my way around a RAZR. Don't know how many of those I bricked by not reading you couldn't install custom recovery except safe strap unless you had dev edition. Lmao. The RAZR forums always had cool devs willing to help and teach. I went to the GS4 and wow it was like a an ego fueled pissing contest between the biggest smart a$$e$ on the web. No one seemed to want to help just wanted to argue or try to point out that you don't know crap and they know it all. Glad to be out of their forums. And glad to see all these cats on the g flex forums have all been super cool and helpful.
They way it should be.

Yeah @Matt if your not a complete moron and ask the same question over and over again peeps around here are cool.
Yeah, the razrs where the good ole days lol. I went to the note family about 2 years ago and have a note 3 too. I like the Gflex . The pure fact that we have fastboot access is a good sign. I've been talking to hashcode and a few others to see what van be done.
Also, most of the Gpro xposed stuff work on the Gflex if anyone was wondering.
