No DATA on Atrix 4G[ATT VERSION CARRIER-UNLOCKED]

[K.A.]

My friend just bought a new Motorola Atrix 4G, the ATT version. The phone was brought here and carrier-unlocked. Problem is, voice and text work, but the phone just does not connect to mobile data. software version is 4.5.141. tried setting new APNs, restoring default APNs, nothing worked. in about phone in status, it shows : "Mobile Network State : Disconnected" always..
Any help on this?

"The phone was bought here" - where is here?

What network is he currently trying to connect to?

This isn't a how to get data to work thread, i have a problem with the data connection so it's not a question and i dont think i need to put in the Q&A section, though you may have your own opinion.

Purchased for the USA and carrier unlocked and brought to India. I've tried 2 different indian service providers, Reliance and Vodafone, and on both the voice and txt works but no data..the 'E' symbol is there but no Upload and download arrows...

Something is not working...you are asking for help ("Any help on this?")...sure seems like a Q&A thread candidate to me....

If changing the APN setting doesn't work, you probably need to flash a different radio. If I remember correctly, the 36p and 100r work pretty good in India. Radios can be found at the link below.

Well, sure, sorry for that then
Ok, i saw the files, got this : http://samcripp.com/files/ downloaded the asia_retail26aug file...
Question : Says CWM flashable, but the phone is brand new with a locked bootloader and NO root. So can i still flash CWM Recovery and then flash this file?

Before you can do any kind of flashing you need to unlock your bootloeader and install some sort of custom recovery. Rooting is irrelevant.

Well maybe you could help me on that too as i saw a WARNING thread in the dev section regarding the 4.5.141 version saying the device can get hard bricked..

I have at&t atrix running on stock 4.5.141 and data on vadafone works fine in mumbai

So if your phone is with stock at&t rom ideally it should work

But still if you are going to flash radios
then first root the device then unlock bootloader and install cwm - guide is in same forum

And keep a nandroid backup of your stock setup just in case you need it !

All the best
