[Q] Atrix HD root, BataKang help

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001445
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.

And also, I wouldn't use Batakang ROM ... YET ... right now Wifi and AT&T LTE don't work, I would stick rooted Jellybean leak for now unless you really don't care about Wifi or LTE. No offence Mattlgroff

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

Make sure your using Motofail2go utility and have USB Debugging on! You may have forgot about USB debugging?

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm maybe the ROM is too large?
According to windows it is 1.14GB unzipped. And the system partition is just 1100mb. I am not able to change that in safestrap though.

r3pwn said:
Before reading this, please be sure you have Hashcode's SafeStrap installed.
Hello, all!
I promise more updates to this and apologize for the freakishly large file size, but here, I give to you, Fire Hydrant, a custom version of Fire OS, that has the added features listed below.
- Rooted
- Busybox Pre-Installed
- Everything Deodexed
- Everything Zipaligned
- Over-The-Air Updates from Amazon are disabled
- Lock Screen Ads removed
- Google Apps Added
- Google Play Store app downloading fixed
- "Google Experience Launcher" added as an option.
- Google Search Pre-installed
While some of this may seem overwhelming as of right now, I can promise updates to this that will bring a better experience to owners of the Kindle Fire HDX 7".
I can not guarantee to you that all of the features above will work. I do not have a Kindle Fire HDX 7", so I was unable to do testing of any kind.
ALSO, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN TO YOUR DEVICE. WHILE I TRY MY BEST TO KEEP EVERYTHING SAFE, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL NOT BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
Download:
Downloading isn't currently available while I investigate why it isn't working...
I will try to get this uploaded to other places once I get the chance. For the time being, and my current location, I had to upload to Dropbox as Google Drive upload speed was terrible.

Upload it as a torrent. Post a magnet link or torrent file. It's not like it's illegal content. You made it. I'll seed. I have a fast connection. In Utorrent goto file new torrent then seed it. It's that simple

I wasn't discussing the ROM as an uploading issue, but more as an installation issue. He was suggesting that the contents of the system folder in the zip file were too large for the allowed space on the device itself. So I removed a few things and replaced the "update-binary" so hopefully all should be okay.

Oh! That makes more sense. Lol. Well, the new build is already uploading to Dropbox. Hopefully this will fix all the installation errors. I just removed the Google+ apk (You can download it from the Play Store) and amazon's pre-built, heavy-on-memory fonts partition. I replaced them with just plain ol' android fonts (it should look the exact same).

There is also a adb (android-sdk-tools) version for Mac afaik. Google or YouTube adb and mac and you`ll find lots of threads. Link https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other.

Wrong section and adb works perfectly fine (better in fact) on Mac.

you do not use adb to root, ever. you use fastboot. fastboot to unlick your bootloader and fastboot to flash a recovery. then you use your recovery to flash supersu. there's no adb involved. why do people keep thinking that you use adb to root???

other devices had one click root apps, and towelroot. android 5.0 and the nexus 6 dont have them(yet). with a computer is the only way you can unlock your bootliader. and its an easy 3 word line.. fastboot oem unlock. is that difficult? its a nexus, there isnt any hacking needed. google sets up all nexus so its easy to unlock the bootloader and then gain root.

Kindle Fire HD 7" D025A Version - Return to Stock

Hey guys. I have a Kindle Fire HD 7 D025A (1st gen I think? 2012 release) that was rooted a long time ago and had the Cyanogen os put on it. Its become very unstable (reboots a lot, launchers crash, etc) and I would like to restore it back to the way it came from Amazon. The unfortunate part is, I am a total newb at this, and I wasnt the one who rooted it originally so I have no idea how it was done. Can anyone give me a step by step guide on the correct way to restore back to the original? Been trolling websites all morning, but with as many different releases of kindle as there are out in the world, I want to make sure its done right.
Thanks in advance.

Bleh, that was annoying. So finally got the stock zip to work. Had to wipe twice in order for it to boot into something not TWRP. Thank you very much btw and sorry if I seemed a little short. Im a computer guy by trade for over 20 years, but this programming and hacking stuff has never been my cup of tea. Finally into the basic default setup pattern now.

Ok, so now that Ive been shown and taught how to return this Kindle to stock, can you show me a list of all the custom OS's I can put on it? I know Lineage doesnt support it, and I know Cyanogenmode has a version 14, but I want something that will continue getting updates.
