Atrix-4G-2.3.4-rootSo the Atrix 4G was unlocked, then we had ClockworkMod installed. Recently the Atrix 4G received an Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread leak. For those of you on 2.3.4 and wishing to root the Atrix 4G, there could not have been a simpler solution to it. XDA-Developers forum member flzyup shows us how.

To root, you simply need to download a zip packaged file and flash it via ClockworkMod recovery, reboot and enjoy the wonders of root access! Confused? Let’s take this step by step then and whip up a quick little guide.

Disclaimer: Please follow this guide at your own risk. AddictiveTips will not be liable if your device gets damaged or bricked during the process.


Requirements:

Instructions:

  1. To begin, download the Superuser zip from the link above and copy it to the root of your external SD card.
  2. Reboot the phone into recovery and make a Nandroid backup.
  3. Select Wipe cache and wipe dalvick cache.
  4. Navigate to install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard and select the SuperUser zip transferred there earlier.
  5. Once the file is done flashing, reboot the phone.

All done. Your phone should now reboot and you should have complete root access on your phone. For updates and queries, visit the forum thread at XDA-Developers.

    Hey, idiot, how does one put clockworkMod on the device if it is not rooted? If you have rooted the phone already, this article is reduntant, a waste of space on the interwebs, and huge waste of my time!

      Mhmmm…please follow the link given in the requirements section, and at least read through it to understand that there is no need for root.

      If that does not suffice, XDA Developers should. Here’s the link:

    I do not have an sd card. Can I still root my 4g atrix 2.3.4 version?

  • Paul

    This article is poorly written, the author assumes the user has preexisting knowledge about how to actually boot into clockworkmod, which straight forward information is hard to find.
