Hi! As you can probably tell, I'm new to the forums... I've read XDA tons, but never posted. I just got an Atrix 2 today (YAY), but unfortunately the salesman in the AT&T store updated the phone to 2.3.6 "for me." After hours of trying and reading, it seems there is no root for 2.3.6... Is my only option to wait for a 2.3.6 exploit or is there some way for me to roll back to 2.3.5?
Honestly, the only reason I want to root right now is for the Titanium Backup I made of my old LG Thrill.

Here is the instructions to flash the 2.3.5 fxz (scroll down a bit). However since you're on 2.3.6 you'll need to make sure that you follow these directions (close to the bottom) as well.

There is one way but it involves editing 2.3.5 fkz files, and if done incorrectly can soft-brick you phone, the mod can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20987662&postcount=102 ^What he said
Thanks, that's really helpful! I should have just asked from the beginning.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but my computer can't find drivers for fastboot mode. I've installed all of Motorola's drivers and restarted both my phone and the computer numerous times.
I was able to find just the drivers only! This installer is fantastic. If there are any problems with drivers just tell it to do a "clean and reinstall"

All the gingerbread roms you see are unofficial ATT Infuse leaks or ports from another device
Big Dog Infuse I997 Zeus Rom
Gingerbread has not been officially released for Infuse yet. Checking for updates will do nothing until an official is released by AT&T.
Otherwise, you have to download one of the many roms on this site. Then you have to use a tool such as clockworkmod or ODIN to flash it to your phone. The thread for each rom will usually tell you which tool to use with some instructions. As bignate78 said, these are not official releases. Some are unaltered (stock) while others have heavy modifications to look and function. Be sure to READ as much as you can before asking questions or attemting to flash for the first time. Developers here will bite your head off if you don't take the time to read the threads.
At&t is behind didn't they promise gingerbread in 2011 its almost 2012

Like stated below it is not an official release from AT&T. But after trying about 5 different ROMs, all of which where awesome, just couldn't find one to my liking.
So I went back to stock below is one I used, everything meaning all hardware works great, yes it takes it back to stock gingerbread which is great for the Infuse brings out the performance of the phone. IMHO
[AT&T][2.3.6]Heimdall One-Click Back-To-Stock UCKJ4 + Easy CWM install
Plus I rooted this using the
[APP]SuperOneClick v2.3.2 - Better LG Phone Support!
All of which are located in the "Infuse 4G Android Development"
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.
I apologize in advance for the noob question; I have been stock on this phone for awhile so I'm lost (ex-EVO here). I successfully rooted my phone two days ago, and now this upgrade popped up. It says it offers the Android 4.0.4 upgrade. Will it affect my root? Or brick my phone?

Wrong phone, buddy. Next time you should try reading before asking a question also.
I posted this in the epic 4G forum and here. Where is my phone? I've looked everywhere when I looked for root and ultimately had to take a chance. Can you please link me to the right forum?

I don't know where your phone is, but your forum (if you indeed have a SPH-D710 model device) should be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1284
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...

The other day I let the Samsung Company lead me when they said there was an update for my phone. Thinking that I would enjoy the lovely 4.0 ICS as a change from the Nice 2.3.6 GB. I let Samsung talk me into flashing my alltel phone. Low and behold they gave me a USC flash to replace my current Alltel network. This is the first time doing something this drastic to my cellphone and now I don't have any data communication on my phone. Does anyone know where I can find an alltel gingerbread flash for the Galaxy S2 SCH-R760. I've searched (what I feel as) Everywhere and can't find anything. My phone is only 2-3 months old so I would prefer not to root it.

I am trying to root.. I also have Alltel Samsung Galaxy S II 4.52 inch Model SCH-R760.. It's also running stock Gingerbread 2.3.6, and since there won't be any OTA Official updates for this particular model, I am going to try to root and update to ICS or Jellybean.. I have looked at several forums, and I have never root before.. Yep I'm a NOB.. Can anyone help me, who has this device and successfully rooted..
Of course I would rather not root, but to the best of my knowledge, it's the only way I will be able to get ICS or Jellybean..
