Motofail2Go: Atrix HD root exploit

Despite my strong belief that people who are interested in rooting should buy devices with unlocked bootloaders instead of expecting the magical hackers in the sky to give out free exploits (which are in short supply), I'm once again continuing to encourage bad behavior by publishing another root exploit:
http://vulnfactory.org/public/motofail2go_windows.zip
Instructions:
1. Download and extract the entire zip file.
2. Ensure your device is connected via USB and that you have installed the latest ADB drivers from Motorola.
3. Double-click "run.bat" and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. The exploit will ask you to press a button combination at one point.
If the exploit prints an error saying something like "run-as: Package 'com.motorola.bug2go' is unknown", then unfortunately you will have to wipe your data and cache partitions and try again.
This exploit should work on the Razr M, Atrix HD, Photon Q, Razr i (you might need to replace some of the binaries with x86 versions?), and the upcoming Razr HD.

Factory reset.

Try booting into stock recovery
ATGadmin:
Boot into fastboot.
Then select recovery (move with the down volume and select with the up volume key)
Now ull see the dead android hit both volume buttons
Then just go from there
But i would download root checker to see if u have root. It looks like u do

If you received the error message I described in the instructions, then there is no way it could have worked during that attempt. You'll need to wipe data/cache and try again.

Thanks again bro!
Now all we need is a custom recovery so I can cook a new ROM for this beast!

[STOCK][C6603][4.3] Update to 10.4.B.0.569 [Root & XZDualRecovery][DE-/ODEX]

}
Requirements:
Flashtool by @Androxyde
XZDualRecovery 2.6 RELEASE or newer.
Current FW version: 10.3.1.A.2.67, maybe others too, let me know!
Special features:
SuperSU integrated in system, FULL root, no reboots when remounting /system RW!
XZDualRecovery 2.7.42 BETA (CWM & PhilZ Touch & TWRP) pre-installed;
Tailored FTF to minimize the chance of accidental system wiping!
No need to clear caches!
For both locked and unlocked bootloaders!
The C6603 ROM is based on the FTF provided by @Androxyde in this thread. Thanks dude
In the following guide I suggest you use an external SDCard but that's just good practice, you can use your internal storage or even an USB OTG storage device in TWRP if you like to install, that's no problem!... If you are modding and the likes, best is to have an external sdcard, just for safeties sake.
C6603: How to update to 10.4.B.0.569:
For C6603: Download C6603.flashable.10.4.B.0.569.zip (Bittorrent: 754MB), SuperSU_fix.zip (1.1Mb) and C6603_10.4.B.0.569_Stripped.ftf (18MB), save it somewhere you remember;
Put 'C6603.flashable.10.4.B.0.569.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'C6603_10.4.B.0.569_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in CWM or TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard0';
Flash 'C6603.flashable.10.4.B.0.569.zip' in TWRP, after flashing the ROM also flash 'SuperSU_fix.zip',
do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C6603_10.4.B.0.569_Stripped.ftf';
Reboot to system without clearing (dalvik-/)cache.
The first boot will be considerably slower and after a long wait at the boot animation you will see Android optimizing the apps on your phone.
I have done this myself, using this method and I have not found any problem yet, again! :fingers-crossed:
Enjoy! :laugh:
DE-ODEX your ROM! (Read the NOTE below this guide before flashing!)
Make sure you have the flashable ROM installed before you do this.
Download deodex.10.4.B.0.569.zip (Bittorrent: 370MB), save it somewhere you remember;
Put 'deodex.10.4.B.0.569.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Create a backup of your phone in CWM or TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard0';
Flash 'deodex.10.4.B.0.569.zip' in recovery, do not reboot but go back to the main menu;
Clear dalvik-cache ONLY;
Reboot to system.
The first boot after flashing this you will see Android optimizing the apps on your phone, this might take a while... but should be just fine
NOTE: There are some issues with the deodexed ROM, it sometimes causes a FC, specifically if you go to keyboard & language settings through the settings app. I'm not able to find why it does this but my guess is that it's a bug in the Sony ROM that surfaces with deodexing it... There is a work around for this one though: Open any keyboard driven app (text editing/entering box), tap '12!?' and then tap the tools button on the right of the space bar. This will take you to the app to modify your keyboard settings.
Known XZDualRecovery Issues:
Busybox Updater/Installer: If you have XZDualRecovery installed, un-install any Busybox updating app/tool as most if not all of them will install a version of busybox which does not support the lzma compression applets XZDualRecovery depends on. The version installed together with XZDualRecovery is very stable and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it's stability.
How to report errors:
Please, before shouting out "It doesn't work!!1!" or "I lost root!" or even "My phone reboots when remounting /system RW!!" try the following:
Restore a /system ONLY using any means you are familiar with so you can try again.
Root it using [Z][ROOT] DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit.
Install XZDualRecovery and then try to update again using TWRP. This time you can skip the FTF as it has already done it's job.
If it still fails something from there on: LOGS!!.
NOTE: The important ones can be found in /cache/recovery and in /tmp/XZDualRecovery, pack them up and send them to me.
Thank you

Good shot man thank you
Tested and no bug at the moment

[Q] How can I update to Lollipop 5.1 if my device is already rooted?

Hello
Excuse me but I'm a newbie to all of this. I have found tons of posts here to help me with whatever I need but now I can't seem to find a way to update to 5.1
I tried the OTA but it didn't work since my device is already rooted although I am still running 5.0.1.
I tried sideloading it but it didn't work and I read a few posts that it won't work anymore since I rooted already.
So what's left to do? Flash image? If so, can someone point me in the right direction? Didn't any new posts regarding 5.1 image flashing and I really don't wanna risk doing anything stupid. Also, I read that there's a way through which I can bypass losing all my data?
Thanks in advance!

you can just flash a 5.1 rooted rom, just like before 5.1. thats the easiest way around. you can flash the factory img as well, then reroot.

Download the Google factory image here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Extract the system.img and boot.img then fastboot flash them. Read general > all in one guide > question 28 for fastboot.
Once flashed, boot straight into twrp recovery and flash SuperSU. Zip to root.
Edit.. Or if you want, you can download a pre-rooted ROM.zip and just flash that from twrp recovery

no advice, flash whatever you like. but ill warn you ROM Manager is an ancient app that WILL cause you issues. what you should do iz boot into twrp recovery, flash whatever, then reboot. thats how you flash. remember my words, rom manager WILL cause you iasues.

Just flashing a rooted rom will not install the newest bootloader and modem/radio. So I wouldn't recommend that....
But either way works if all you want to do is get on 5.1 without updating the bootloader and modem/radio

Your going to have to Odin back to stock NE4, then ota up from their.
If you have/want root then follow this thread....

Not a good idea to take OTA updates if your rooted....usually breaks root. The reason it won't update now is due to the fact you were rooted...even if you loose/unroot it still detects traces and the update fails. The only way to OTA now will be to use odin to flash back to stock NE4.
I see from the photo your on NG3 so you can reroot and go from their.

Ignorance would be not reading or asking anything until after you brick the phone :sly:
Nothing wrong with asking legit questions, that's what it's all here for:thumbup:
Since your on NG3 now my advice would be to use odin and flash the ne4 stock kernel...then you can use towelroot again...reinstall supersu...then again in odin flash back to the NG3 stock kernel. This will put you on NG3 with root. From their you can follow that top thread and it will put you on stock rooted 5.0.
Edit: Here is another thread for you...OP has all the steps to walk you through rerooting. Just skip the first step about taking the ota and go from their.

Flashing the kernels to root shouldn't delete any data, but the jump to 5.0 will. I'd strongly recommend backing up first just to be safe.

When your done, just make sure to freeze the Att software update app with titanium or similar, that will kill OTA so you don't have to worry about them sneaking an update in.

It's not exactly the same, but not hard....

Just follow the steps in the op and you'll be fine.
You'll need FlashFire, and I'd recommend TiBu...Good for freezing/removing bloat and backing up app data.

No problem bro. Glad to help.

I can confirm Magisk v12 works flawlessly

I am currently running this rom and am planning on leaving metropcs since it seemed someone may have ruined their network. I paid for the 60 dollar a month plan and I cant even get close to a single megabit download speed. Is there any way someone could post or attatch a twrp backup of the modem? I tried to flash the stock modem from the stock firmware but I dont have a computer right now and accidentally erased my modem.

Install flashfire, you can do all that with the stock firmware package. No PC required. It's a godsend

I tried that but it failed miserably. I also tried to dd if=modem.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 (modem.bin from the csc file) in android and the twrp terminal. No luck! I remember a twrp backup of a working modem took care of the problem but I accidentally deleted it and dont have the proper technology to run testdisk or foremost on the internal memory to try and restore the radio.emmc.win.

Did you download the latest stock firmware, load it in flashfire in the ota section, then select the modem, leaving everything else unchecked?

nope. I also tried reflashing the stock firmware. Fails at boot loader. m2kefs /dev/block/mmcblk0p14. Now all I got is a tablet. Won't function at all with the modem in place.

Let me create a nand for you and upload it to mega. You still have access to TWRP?

I was finally able to resolve my situation. Thinking back.. I thought maybe I just accidentally turned my radio off but I actually hard bricked my phone because I had to format the modem partition for the phone to even function properly over WiFi. Perhaps if anyone else has that problem the new firmware posted on mega.nz will have the proper modem driver for hw rev 05. If not then this phone could have a factory limitation to stop people from developing their own open source Android Rom for the device. A defect I would call it in this case. Although I haven't been able to verify it because I have no reason to corrupt my modem and then try flashing the new firmware.

Fantastic bro. Such a rewarding feeling when you figure stuff out. So my firmware helped, or was it another package you found?

I have a J700T1 MetroPCS device. I have been pulling my hair out and studying day and night to run XModGames on my phone. (XMG "XModGames is a modding app for rooted phones to alter games) I have done this before on other phones. I have tried flashing a permissive kernel, and once it was permissive XMG would still give an error. I have installed BusyBox, deleted app data, changed XMG to system app through LuckyPatcher... Restarted and flash my phone several times! Just trying to figure this out... Can anyone give some ideas? I'm testing this ROM Deodex & Deknox but it stayed in T-Mobile boot screen for 30 minutes. I'm about to flash stock again.
