I've already unlocked my Atrix.
I tried to root my Atrix but it didn't work on my GB 2.3.4 :(
So I flashed CWM recovery but it stuck.
When I put command moto-fastboot devices, there were no list of devices :(
I installed again Motorola driver but still got same result.
My OS is Windows 7 ultimate.
Does anyone know how to flash CWM without fastboot?

Im new to motorola handsets with android i bought my atrix today it should arrive tomorrow ,its on tmobile uk,can i use the instructions on this thread to unlock bootloader,root,fastboot,cwm.

is there a fully working ics rom with all features.

Does Tmobile uk fall into international category.

I also saw in the thread that certain roms with certain kernels can be flashed what is the reason to this.

I have been flashing roms on htc,samsungs.

Yupz You can use this thread :)
Nop, for now some CusRom still have minor bug for ICS. Some features like camera, webcam, FP and HWA still not working properly
:(
Yupz, T-Mobile is International Atrix :)
Certain kernels must use to stabilize ROM, but mostly use Faux kernel :)

Hopefully my answers helps you :)

Use Custom ROM Gingerbread only specially based on CM 7.
It will satisfied you.

But if you wanted to use webtop too just use Nottach or Epsilon ROM.

Use Google or XDA Search to find Nottach or Epsilon ROM.
Or find another ROM that based on Blur like Gingerblur, Max Blur, etc.
What links are dead? Could you give me more information what kind of link do you need based on first page?

When it on fastboot, have you vol up so will show "Starting Fastboot Protocol"??
After you can reach "Starting Fastboot Protocol", plug your phone to PC and use "fastboot oem unlock" on Command prompt.
You will get your Unique ID :)

Nottach ROM is for INternational User. :eek:
I've used it many times :)
Please check on the list Atrix 4G Development, there you'll find Nottach ROM :):confused:

What do you mean by saying Fastboot and RSD link are dead??
Fastboot and RSD is on your phone :highfive:
Please give me some detail information.
Have you unlocked bootloader? :confused:
Have you installed CWM or Rom Racer Recovery? :confused:

I still confused where are you know with your Atrix.

Great guide

Great guide, thanks Tayshun12. Between this guide, pudding post, and Google I manager to get epinter's CM10 rom up and running on my Atrix. Had a few bumps along the way, but, if you read the these threads fully before you do anything it makes it pretty easy and stress free. Being my first try at rooting and flashing a ROM I'm pretty impressed with the amount of helpful info.

I have unlocked bootloader and used the latest rsd. Followed instructions on op. I installed recovery from the op link not sure if its RomRacers or cwm. Its the cwm with various different colours.

Quote taken from op:
"DO NOT FORGET TO DO THIS PART: After the install of RomRacers recovery boot up your phone. Open up your favourite file browser (I used Astro file manager to do this ) and navigate to /system/etc/ and delete the file called 'install-recovery.sh'"

Also which nottach rom is the best i came across darknight, wet dream, nottachtrix or something like that.

You're using CWM recovery.
You don't have to do the quote.
You can use Nottachtrix :) :victory:

Following the instructions in the OP got a safe unlock off my new international version Atrix. Following them to the 'T' is certainly recommended (down to the exact commands and their spacings) for a smooth unlocking and rooting procedure.

Many thanks for the same OP !!

What kind of Atrix do you have?
International or AT&T?
Could you explain the steps that you've working?
I still don't understand what is the point of your post :confused:

Hi guys, need to be sure if this process will work with stock ROM 2.3.6 for ATT v 4.5.151.

Many thanks
Yes it will work :victory:
You can use Pete Motorola Tools to unlock bootloader and install CWM recovery if you want to.
Search on xda for pete motorola tools or another tools to unlock if you find difficulty to follow page one post :eek:
