Hi folks, Im an atrix owner in uk on the orange network. Ive been waiting for this GB update but decided to go along the unlocking route. I have rooted using gingerbreak, and have just unlocked the bootloader using RSD lite and IHOP Bell. The phone itself displays unlocked on the boot screen, so all seems well. But now Im stuck with only 300mb of ram. I have seen that its possible to load ORFR234-system.img so that I can enjoy the GB goodness. Ive downloaded the ORFR234 but the question is How do I get it on to my phone? The worst thing is that I managed to lose the guide that I was following, grrr. If there's anyone out there in XDA land who can help me, I would be sooooooo grateful and buy ya a beer lol. Many thanks

best way to root a atrix 4g (att) running 2.3.6
You'll need to unlock the bootloader and proceed from there. You can do it the Pudding way (messy), but I also found this over in the Atrix section, which looks far simpler. It will take you back to 2.3.4, but if your bootloader isn't unlocked then you'll have to do that anyway
If your bootloader is already unlocked, use the new version of SuperOneClick with the Motorola exploit (link in my sig). It works a treat
Good luck!
what?! i rooted my old atrix running 2.3.4 (i sent it in for replacement ) so this is my new one.... i cant just type in codes? like i did last time?
Is the bootloader unlocked on your new unit?
Correction: Times have changed since I did it last, have a look here.
Apologies for the confusion.
not as far as i know as i was able to update from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 and its running all stock. ( i should mention the only phone i have ever modded was my old backflip ) and i rooted my old atrix but i have read that the bootloader unlock is complicated so i never did that. im lookign at getting CM9 ICS by joker or waiting till Q3 for ics official.... but not sure.
Hey everyone im new here, im a noob with everything related to android.
i Bought an unlocked at&t phone and right now im with rogers but im not gonna stay with them for very long.
it has version 2.2.1 on it, and i'd like to have gingerbread on it because i know that ics isnt out for the infuse yet. Can i update it by going to settings and software update? or do i have to do a different update because the phone is unlocked? Will it brick?
Thanks,
search around the forum i know this has been answered already... ill see if i can find it.
Welcome to XDA though

Network Unlock

Hi all. I don't want to come off as a total noob, but I'm sorry if I do. I have a Motorola Razr V XT885 with Bell Mobility in Canada. I've searched the web for a way of rooting and unlocking the bootloader on my device and have found little to no help. I know this isn't a popular phone as it's only available in Canada and some parts of Asia, but is there a way to root and unlock the bootloader? From the sounds of things there isn't a Jellybean update coming any time soon and I would really like to flash a custom rom on this thing. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

This worked for me... I still do not know how to get a recovery or custom ROMs on mine, If you figure it out, send me a message.
Cheers

I figured out how to get custom recovery, you download Boot Menu Manager from the market it works perfect, I managed to boot up a XT910 ROM on it but lots of bugs as its not for our phone, just need a smart person to make us up a ROM
Worked for my XT885. Thanks
I currently have an LG Viper Running on Official LG 4.0.4 ICS package and i'm rooted. I'm looking at ROM Manager right now and there seems to be no CWM Recovery for my phone. This spurs two questions in my mind:
1. Is it safe to flash a CWM built for a different phone but same make?
-The options i'm given made by LG are: LG Connect 4g MS840, LG Lucid VS840, LGE Esteem 4g, LGE Optimus M+, LGE Revolution 4g, LGE Spectrum 4g
2. If not, is there a workable CWM for the phone? If there isn't, can I expect one anytime soon?
Simple answer is no unless someone decides to port it.

I know this is an old thread but flashing any sister device recovery will bootloop the viper. We do finally have custom recovery abs basic roms if you downgrade back to gingerbread...but as of now ics dev is on halt, major locked boot loader. I already had my viper replaced six times and had terrible customer service experiences , so I found a number for a sprint corporate executive, mailed me a Samsung galaxy nexus 4g lte the next day. I'm pleased, although it's a year old phone, none of these issues, bigger screen, much better resolution, 32 gig internal sd, :/ 4.1.2 vanilla, and more mods roms and kernels then I can try :/. A lot of us purchased this viper based on specs, which seem great, unfortunately the phone isn't...

I saw another thread about unlocked phone got locked..plz dont lock mine cuz registering and loging in is extremely hard to [email protected][email protected] im looking for help sincerely instead of what kinda donation..
I got a Verizon razr hd from a blackmarket online last month (let me explain it. Its impossible to get a razr hd from a official way cuz moto cut its Asian service(im in PRC). Only some cheap moto entry-level or old-fashioned Android devices can be got from official store. Samsung Galaxy S3 is much more reachable cuz Samsung has its official store in my city but im not addicted to its design..also i kept using moto device from a moto beeper about 20 years ago so i dont wanna change another brand) i always go around here but i cannot register an account cuz verification imagine cannot show up correctly due to damned GFW. Finally an US friend of mine helped me to register successfully..
Thats enough for background i think.
Whatever, i got a really strange phone. Its a Verizon razr hd and its unlocked... i dont care about that but the original rom of it is JB 4.11not ICS 4.04. Even this JB is different from your JB from OTA recently.(i cannot get OTA. It shows me that my rom is the latest) So i cannot get it rooted by the method you provided(keep root from ICS).
I have checked iemi code and whatever i can check of this phone the moment i got it ,so i dont think its a fake one but a smuggling one .
So the problem is..can i use rsd to flash a original Verizon 4.04 rom to my phone and root it then keep it and update to Verizon JB 4.1 in order to get root?
Im poor in English gramma so im not sure whether you guys get it..

First, to root it, you have to flash the rom to ICS 4.04, then root, root keeper, and follow that process. THEN OTA to JB 4.1 and finish the process. This is well documented in other portions of the forum.
And the other thing, isn't this against terms discussing/questioning this kind of phone???
Thanks for your response. Rsd cannot identify my fastboot while im trying to do so. Maybe its version is too out of date.
Err..if it does go against principle here plz lock /delete it
