It took me 2 tries (most likely user error) but I got it to work. Thanks!

Having to escalate an issue is usually easier with att. And trying to get Verizon to exchange equipment is difficult. Best of luck.
Isn't going from an Artix to a RAZR a "downgrade".

Seriously? I have the Atrix on AT&T (work) and a Droid X on Verizon (personal). I've had to speak to customer service for both companies and I can't say AT&T is better. Recently I was getting really slow (like 200-300kbps) download speeds on my Atrix and I had to call AT&T customer support twice (which got me no where) and had to visit a AT&T store three times before at last one of the guys actually took the phone from me and went through some troubleshooting. After discovering I was on the lastest .141 release and was using the 37p baseband he suggested simply exchanging my sim card (since I've had this sim card for about 4 years back to the days when I was carrying a BlackBerry for work). Lo and behold my speeds improved. Not to the speeds AT&T advertise but at least I was getting solid 1 to 2 mbps after the new sim was installed.

So for what it's worth, you may have enjoyed superior service from AT&T (which would surprise me since they consistently come in dead last every year in Consumer Reports for customer service) but maybe you're just lucky that way.

Note: Just to expand on my "service" with AT&T regarding this data speed issue, on the second trip to the AT&T store the customer rep without even trying to troubleshoot the phone actually looked at me with a straight face and said "I recommend you get a new phone." I'm not EVEN making that up.

Unlock bootloader

---

Hello, I am a "noob" to all this rooting, so it would be great if someone is patient enough to tell me if this method will also unlock the bootloader of the 4.5.141 update?

Thank you,

This method works great for 4.5.141, but it only roots the phone. If you want to unlock the bootloader, the automatic script at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1182871 still works with .141

Yeah, be careful when it comes to unlocking the bootloader on .141 and follow the directions. I tried to unlock it with SBF using the guides that were pinned and ended up hard bricking lol. It wasn't a true hard brick though so I managed to fix it, but never play with SBFs unless you know what you're doing!

Click HERE for how to unroot your Atrix. Scroll 1/3 way down the page to find the instructions.

4.5.141, never rooted before

So i tried rooting my Atrix for the first time and got a message with the verify app that it wasn't fully rooted.

I decided to combine two sets of similar instructions I found doing searches and got it to finally work.
youtube.com/watch?v=GmkbY6D1614 (video of one set of instructions)

I was getting a permission denied when trying to copy the super user file.

$ cp /preinstall/su /system/bin/su
cp /preinstall/su /system/bin/su
cp: /system/bin/su: Permission denied
$ chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
Unable to chmod /system/bin/su: Operation not permitted
$

So i tried these steps replacing preinstall with reinstall for step and everything worked fine. Try at you own risk:

1. Make sure you are using a file name fastboot and not moto-fastboot if so rename it.
2.My folder containing the files was in c:/android yours may be different so you'll have to point the instructions there. (c:/"path to your folder")

C:\Users\Me>cd c:/android

c:\Android>fastboot.exe flash preinstall preinstall.img
