Just use the root option in openrecovery. It never fails

This is actually a question for my friend so sorry if I sound dumb lol, but how do I go about getting openrecovery and installing it

[Q] {Q} How To UnRoot The Atrix 2

Um I Need Help , I Rotted My Phone Some Days Ago And I Noticed How the contacts i linked with my twitter and facebook were missing , So I want To Unroot it to see if everything gose back
Which method did you use for Rooting? If you used super one click, there is an option to unroot with in. If you used another method, just do a little searching here and you will find it, I am not sure which thread it was in, but I know I saw it some days ago. Good luck!

If you used the windows one-click method there is an unroot option in that app.
I just did a factory restore, that got rid of super user and root.
btw i used the super 1 click...
where did you find the unroot option? i need to send my phone back and cant find it.

McGyver Trick is a way to charge a phone when it is Soft-Bricked, and external charger is unavailable. Search Google for more info.
Which version of Android are you running that you want to unroot? Generally, the Root.zip package itself has unroot.bat file.

Oh, wow...
I actually just want to return to it to original form.
I had rooted and tried the pac-man rom, but there are certain things
that don't work- well the gyroscope to be precise(can't play games like
temple run)...in addition the battery seems to run down faster, the network
data don't work and wi-fi is harder to pick up it seems and I experience some lag at times.
So I restored the stock OS (ICS). I just want to restore the phone to its
original form.
Thank you dearly for your assistance.
Guess I got to stay rooted then. I hope it won't be a problem
in the future though, like let's say if I wish to sell my atrix 2 or so.

If all you want is try out new ROMs, no need to root. Follow the instructions for NVFlash (search the Dev thread).

Did you remember to Wipe before installing CM7? Wait, how'd you install the ROM? Did you flash ClockWorkMod using NVFlash or Rom Manager? Please tell me you didn't use Rom Manager.

You need to use nvflash to install clock work, then flash stuff.

Try searching. All your questions have been answered many times. With a simple search you could have had all your answers instead of waiting. BTW, many people don't reply to threads like this as they are tired of people asking questions that can be answered by searching first.
ilovebeerdanny: as a fellow newcomer I can share my experience which is that this community is super cool and filled with people who will help you out but no-one here is going to hold your hand. You're much more likely to get help if people see you've done your homework first.
When reading answers to your question pay attention to who's giving them. There's a reason members like jboxer and FatalityBoyZahy have high Thanks meters.

It tries pushing fre3vo but it fails, and then it says no such file or directory, and permission denied for other things. I can't really show it now b/c my mom is using the laptop. Is there another way to root it besides mr root and/or htc dev. I'm going to try and download mr root tomorrow again.

thanks. Good thing my phone came with the old hboot
I rooted mine yesterday using Mr Root. Had minimal problems but those were my mistakes. Also check your bootloader if using 007 works with Mr Root other wise will need the all in 1 tool kit listed in dev section.
all bootloaders are compaitable with mr root
I rooted it already the old way though. Thanks to everyone and helped

Update ruined my root, what to do?

Yeah yeah i was dumb and whatever, never update when you have root!!!! Warning to newbies!
I googled my problem like 20 times but couldnt quite find any solutions so im asking you guys what to do?
My CWM app says "This version of CWM manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer. it appears you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled."
So i lost superuser abilities after i did an update that was a 8mb file.
What to do? Root it again? or what?

Rooting issues

Soon as I received my device I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP then the latest SuperSU but I still do not have root access.
Titanium says I don't have root also texdroider..

No luck rooting though

Same here. I'm unlocked, have phils recovery installed, and have flashed the supersu 2.01 and still no root.
I'm not sure why you guys aren't getting root. I'm using TWRP 2.7.1.0 and it works fine.

Figured it out. There is a setting in SuperSU that says to respect CM root access setting in developer settings. we don't have that setting under developer, so I unchecked it, and root now works.

Ok.... I as well as many others have rooted our phones with that method and I did not have to do any of the stuff you mentioned. Probably because the instructions on that page get it done the right way from the start. Its ok both of us are rooted and you helped someone out
Not a fan of toolkits and to be honest its just a driver ms-dos window and some commands at work or not its still simple. :good:
