Automatic bootloader UNLOCK/ROOT for AT&T 1.26/1.57/1.83/4.5.91 [UPDATE 07/31/11]

[ExTREmE99]

Alright so im currently on 1.83, if i use this script... It will unlock my bootloader and update the bootloader to 4.5.91? My end goal is to install the Alien build... I'm still on gingerblur right now I've lagged, and now im way to lost on upgrading to the latest gingerbread...


Thanks!

Great work, big THX!!

Alright...? Now I have a different problem... My phone aparently ran out of batteries overnight, and now It wont turn on unless its plugged directly into the wall. I don't think the battery's charging either. If I try to turn it on when the usb is plugged into the computer, the led will just flash green once, but it wont turn on.

EDIT: Just to add something, I left it in the wall charger for a few hours, then came back to it and plugged the usb into the computer. All it told me was that there wasn't enough battery to flash, and the phone still will only turn on when plugged into the wall socket.

I am so confused right now :S

It won't charge in that mode...you need to get a charged battery from someone else or find a way to charge yours. Not trying to sound like a jerk but you really have to do your research before you attempt anything with a new device. Anytime you have issues just do a google search for that issue, I've always found an answer or workaround by searching.

Nah, don't worry man... I've pretty much decided that I'm done with messing with my phones after this. Was stupid of me to even try this in the first place, I thought it was going to go smoothly... Guess not, and now I have a bricked phone

Could I use one of these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/BH6X-Battery-Motorola-Droid-X2-MB870-Dock-Charger-/290585017444?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43a8377c64#ht_1939wt_1185 and/or http://www.amazon.com/Travel-External-Battery-Charger-Motorola/dp/B005C20U5G) to charge my battery?

if you can get into fastboot, boot into it and run the command 'fastboot oem unlock' with fastboot on your computer.

you can get fastboot here: http://gititbit.ch/AFAS

extract the files to your C drive, and open up command prompt with your phone connected to your computer in fastboot mode. after you type in that command, you'll get a unique ID for your device. type in the command again followed by your unique ID, which the instructions will tell you to do anyways.

if you can't charge your phone normally, then try to do it this way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pYcgmLhUcQ

I'm stuck at the "Failed to boot 0x 1000 screen". I selected Fastboot and now it says "Starting fastboot protocol support". How long should it stay at that screen?

 

[-Mythic-]

Don't let it stay on that screen for long... I let it sit at it, and now look at me. My phone isn't even working and now I have to find a way to charge my battery.

Sorry for the dumb question but I have a newborn at home and haven't had much time to go through every post. I am on 1.83 rooted via Gladroot with tethering and webtop mod. Is there a way I can stay on 2.2 and unlock my bootloader without losing anything? I have been waiting to unlock this thing since the day it.came out. If there is a way to unlock with 1.83 and not lose anything I have installed now please send me in the right direction. I do not want to upgrade. Thanks!

Very awesome, worked perfectly! I'm now bootloader unlocked and rooted. Thanks a million!

GOOD post!!!

i try to root my Atrix now

 

[apel]

nice mramirezusa
There are cons to make unlocking the bootloader firmware is 4.1.26, is there anyone who has had problems getting it?
Thank you soon

I tried downloading the file for the program via my Atrix (internet is out at home). It downloads but when move it to my pc to extract the zip file it says "file is either missing or damaged"

Is the link no longer working? Am I doing something wrong?

Though this post is a while back, can you give some of us new people a clue as to what you mean by changing? Do I need to change the APN like indicated in the MobileTech Videos? Need to make sure I have this resolved properly before I try and test it again. Thanks.

EDIT: Apparently I didn't click the quote old post (swore I did though), but this is in reference to the individual who pointed out that you still need to tweak the APN to keep AT&T from catching on to you (as they have apparently just done to me and my 2 minute test 2 weeks ago). Can someone give me some tips on what I need to do APN wise to use tethering w/o risking my data plan?

ok will this script help unlock and then root the atrix? .. im trying to learn how to root my cousin's atrix and keep seeing comments that this will unlock the BL and then that ppls use a different method to root it also.. can i just use this method to unlock and root the atrix? .. ive read the nood guides and other threads and ive rooted before but not on the atrix .. seems similar to the methods to root an HTC evo 4g .. more familiar with that device ..

he did update to the latest 4.5.91 2.3.4 via OTA he said .. ill have to check his phone out and get more info from him first but just wanted to make sure i could use this script to unlock and root his atrix .. thanks in advance!

edit: he was on android 2.2 which was the v4.1.83 correct? ..

also can i just root without unlocking or is it better to unlock and then root? or does it req that you unlock first then you can root? .. sorry for all the nooby questions .. been a while since i rooted and all .. lol

 

[LSUtigers03]

Has anyone on OTA 2.3.4 tried option 2 automatic root/CWM? I'm wondering if this is the easiest way to root after the unlock is finished? On my Inspire I used ROM Manager's CWM. Can I still use option 2 to root and use ROM Manager?

Where did you get the program file from?

Will this work on 2.3.4?

Yeah, you might want to flash all the way back to stock and then on to the 2.3.4. I used it and unlocked, rooted, installed CWM, and then applied the hotspot/tethering patch. The only thing I recommend doing is flashing either the official CWM Recovery or RomRacer's CWM. Tenfar's is being called the least stable of the 3
