I bought an Atrix locally. It has superuser since it was rooted, BUT the seller removed the SD card, so the root isn't working right now.
I tried to upgrade Superuserand I'm not allowed to do so... it says the following: "An error ocurred and su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary"
I already inserted my own SD card, but I don't know what to do in fear of bricking my new phone.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!!
You don't need an SD card to be rooted

Oh, ok to check if your bootloader is unlocked, when you turn on the phone, at the Dual core screean on the top right corner , it should say unlocked, if not there your not unlocked

First you should try and root,(I used this) http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root. But first check of you can uninstall superuser.apk, he probably just downloaded it from the market, but wasn't actually rooted

If motoblur was removed, I would think that the phone was rooted. As far as the errors you were getting, it may have been due to the previous user moving some apps to the micro sd card or they may have been using something like GOD mode. I would download a custom ROM designed for the phone, boot into recovery and install it.
Hope this helps.

Hi guys,
Wanted to ask if it's possible to lock back the bootloader for warranty claims since it was unlocked in the process of rooting the Nexus S & how do I go about doing so for this case? Thanks in advance.
Stan.
fastboot oem lock
FYI, if you've rooted the phone, locking the bootloader won't get rid of the Superuser package that was installed. You'll have to get rid of that too if you're worried they'll check your phone for that.

Root and cwm recovery aren't related.
Uninstalling su.zip with TB is like saying I don't want black, but go on and wipe black with black lol (TB requires root to perform most actions)
Just install a Google full rom (sticky in general section) and lock the bootloader afterwards.

I don't get what you say. Installing a full Android stock rom will delete cwm recovery and add the stock recovery again (as well as restoring the install-recovery.sh again).

If your radio is the correct one that came with the version you have installed, why bother.. if not they can see that the bootloader was unlocked just from comparing your device's Android + radio version versus what it would have been via OTA.

Install the pre-rooted rom listed in the dev section. Really is no use in rooting when Samsung lets use flash the phone with custom roms via odin.

Most of the ROMs in the dev section are rooted. What ROM are you currently running?
EDIT: It says above you are on GB 2.3.6. If you are - SuperOneClick V2.3.3 will work. Go to this thread, read the OP - all of it - hell watch the video if you need to, then go here and download the current version. And lastly be patient while it is running.
You can also read this thread for EASY ways to flash kernels once rooted and get on custom ROMs.
I encourage you to READ THE WIKI BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE!

A 30 MB download started and the update completed in about 5 minutes. Software Update says it was an update from LF2 to LG7.
Yeah and kills universal search and you cant disable the remote diagnostics if youre stock and not rooted.
Also several users have confirmed it will break root. They all were stock rooted with stock recovery.

Did you unlock your bootloader? If so did you read the BIG WARNING?if not go back and read it. Generally once you root you don't want to give vzw a chance to unroot you. If you unlocked your bootloader It could brick your phone.
So generally don't take ota updates! You wait for the devs to check them out First and modify them for us.
As far as i Can tell this ota just takes stuff away from us And installs some vzw remote access crap. ( with that on your phone you will have to go back to stock if you just call customer support for help)

The update itself has useful stuff (a new radio which fixes no sim issues), but we have that already and it should just be flashed by itself, imo.

And how do I disable CWM or TWRP? I used EZ-Recovery & EZ-Unlock originally. I see a "stock" option in EZ-Recovery. Would I select that, hit flash, then select reboot recovery? And on EZ-Unlock would I just select the "lock" option?

FYI: Just read this over at Droid Life:
"For anyone interested, I was rooted and had EZ-Recovery installed. When my S3 rebooted it went to the recovery after the update "failed". It gave me the option to apply the zip and I did so. and it even asked me if I wanted to fix root (I did not do this part). When the phone booted it stated that the update had failed, but in checking my Android version is definitely says 4.1.1."

Use EZ Recovery to flash the stock recovery. No need to re-lock your bootloader since the OTA should do that for you if you haven't installed anything that would cause it to fail like Google Wallet or CWM/TWRP.
I know many people prefer to Odin to a stock ICS image then take all the OTA's so that's another option for you as well.
