Hey guy,
I picked up the Atrix HD yesterday and so far I'm loving it but I was wondering if anyone has thought of a way to root this bad boy?
Thanks in advance

I did the same, but it is FAR too early to expect anything.Since it has a locked bootloader, it'll probably take a while (similar to previous versions of the atrix) and I'm sure once Moto releases their webkit to unlock the bootloader the floodgates will open, but hopefully someone will step up and prove me wrong
I tried all the obvious root methods with no luck. There is no similar phone to the AHD yet, so nobody's attempted root on similar hardware.

Has anyone tried the root method for RAZR ICS / Droid4 ICS?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707214
Let me know if it works.
Once you guys get this, I really hope someone can pull that clock/weather/battery widget. I want it really bad. I also hope it doesn't rely on the framework of the phone

Hmm, it's a snapdragon S4 processor... What other phones have the same processor in there? You might be able to find some leads on that...
I was initially interested in getting my hands on the radio, but I think it's a completely different architecture than most of the other Motorola phones (most of the ones I know are TI OMAP), so you might need something different...

I had the same thought, galaxy s3 uses an Odin root, and the HTC one x root method didn't work either.

My skyrocket has an s4 processor I think and there are couple root methods for it.

If i'm not mistaken, the skyrocket is a Snap S3 processor. Also, it's an Odin root much like the S3 as well i think.

I am honestly surprised NO ONE has found a root method yet.
Phones have been rooted days after they come out. I guess development on this phone is going to be painfully slow.

The boot loader is locked until Web kit is released by moto, why put extra effort into it than you have to? It'll come when it comes.

True but the Artix and Atrix 2 had locked boot loaders and we rooted them. I agree it will come when it comes but I will keep trying till either I get it or someone else releases a way. :good:

Atrix 2 still has a locked bootloader. It's been rooted, I've even had CWM work on boot. The only thing we were not able to do was get a kernel so we could get radios working under ICS.
There is hardly any extra effort when I want more access over my file system.

I can hardly wait. I miss CyanogenMod and I hope the web kit rolls out soon so we can start unlocking the potential behind these motorola phones.

Agreed, about root, that won't take very long at all i don't think. my comment was specifically about development being slow for this phone. We'll see theme packages before we see any real development because of the bootloader thing. Work smarter not harder and all.

I'm just interested in why we haven't got root like most other phones. I mean, the HTC One X hasn't been out long before they had a toolkit out for it.
I think they even had root for the Droid 4 the day before it was released. SGS3 came out and people are already making JB ports.
Now the Atrix HD comes around and poof... nothing? If I had been more technically inclined, or knew where to start, I would have made a root method myself.
It shouldnt be so hard, whats stopping us? (besides a few people just waiting for the web kit)
...and if no one else is up to it, where do I start?

Flagship phones get dev attention faster. Im pretty sure its the encrypted bootloader thing that's holding it up

Not really.
If you go check the other thread we've tried over 7 methods.
Motorola patch the /system/, /data/local/, and all the system blocks.
We can push files into /data/tmp/ but we cant write to mmcblk0p36 with debugfs
It simply wont give us permission.
With an unlocked bootloader, yes for sure we can get root. At that point it'd be less of a concern to get root because we'd be able to do so much more.
I even tried zergRush exploit used by most Snapdragon S4 phones with no luck.
Again we ran into problems with permissions to write or mount /system/
chmod wont do anything either.
I just bought the s6 edge for Verizon and rooted with ping-pong. How can I get twrp on it to flash roms? And do you expect the ROM dev community to step up once more people get the phone? Or would you switch to another flagship?

Twrp will trip Knox. The only roms I know that won't brick the phone you will find in the android development sub forum, and they can be installed using FlashFire

All the flagships you mentioned have root. The M9 is the only one with an unlocked bootloader.
Because I hate phablets and installing TWRP on the S6 is a bad idea, I would go with the M9 if I were you.

Also twrp though. I'm not a fan of phablets either. I guess I'm going to most likely go with the m9. The edge screen is doing nothing for me yet either. I know I'll regret it once this baby gets cracked open but I'm inpatient lol

every single provider, besides for verizon is getting 7.0 on the n6. verizon decided they dont want 7.0 on their towers, so no 7.0 for verizon, ever.

That's not true. 7.0 for the N6 us not out yet for ANY carrier. That being said, the preview 5 is available. It runs fine on VZW.

Has anyone on VZW had any Nougat update pushed to them? I haven't - still MOB31K
Honestly, if you're waiting for an OTA update, you're doing it wrong. Google has a page where they host not only the ROM images for flashing using Fastboot, but also complete OTA zips for sideloading using the stock recovery.

I've got a Moto Z3 (not Z3 play) and I can't seem to find a section here about it. Everywhere I search, and everything Google turns up is for the Z3 play. I'm wondering if these two are interchangeable when it comes to roms, etc? If not, is there a section somewhere on this site which is tailored specifically to the Z3 non-play edition? Can you link it?
Thanks!
