Atrix noob user - Questions.

[LeoBRatrix]

Hi,I bought a atrix 1 month ago and I want to put a custom rom,I researched a lot,but I found a lot of outdateds topics.
The question is:
What topic is good to teach me how install a custom rom.


PS:I'm a new android user,so I dont know how root my atrix or unlock my boot loader.


If anyone know,what is the diference between atrix USA and atrix EU/UK ? I have a Eu/Uk atrix.


Thanks.

If you're really that much of a noob, then there are two possible solutions: either read and learn and teach yourself everything you don't know, or let someone else do this for you. The tutorials and guides are all out there, very detailed, and just because a guide is older than you'd expect doesn't mean it's outdated. A lot of guides on this are still very much valid. There are also threads and guides designed especially for n00bs, so definitely go over those too.

The whole process has been outlined countless times (you could've done some searching yourself), but here it is again:

• Unlock the bootloader - keywords: pudding, ihop
• Flash a custom recovery - keywords: cwm, twrp, romracer
• Flash a custom ROM of choice - keywords: too many to mention

(Notice that rooting is not mentioned here, if you're going to install a custom ROM rooting is irrelevant.)

The process assumes you have Motorola USB drivers, the moto-fastboot utility, and the Android SDK fully installed and operational.

There is no physical difference between USA and UK Atrixes, only the software. Also been covered many many times already.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use search, and then use it again.

It would depend on what you want from your device. If you want ultimate stability and don't mind a somewhat outdated platform, then I'd recommend CM7. If you want the latest OS version and don't mind slight instability and lack of functionality, then CM10. There are also the "blurry" variants - modified stock GB ROMs, stock and modified ICS (based on the leak)...
