Root your Atrix with GladRoot v4.2 on AT&T 1.57
- This will root your phone. There is no need to run aRoot before this, and you should NOT be running SuperOneClick anymore Gladroot will root the same way aroot does and cleanup the SuperOneClick.
- This has options to enable sideloading and the tethering APN. Enabling sideloading will not add an Unknown Sources checkbox.
If you are already on 1.57 and do not have root, you MUST flash back to 1.26 for this to work. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Installation instructions: 1.26 to 1.57
- Download the script – link to download GladRoot
- Extract the GladRoot folder and files to C:\. Do not install anywhere else. Having it inside a folder with a space will cause the script to FAIL.
- Make sure your device is 1.2.6 and is not running any mods, I recommend a fresh SBF flash of 1.2.6. Download links and installation instructions here
- Enable USB debugging (Settings -> Applications -> Development).
- Connect your phone via USB
- Run gladroot.bat and follow the on-screen directions (If you’re using Windows 7, run as admin by holding down control and double-clicking).
- Verify that there are no errors before updating.
- Go to Settings -> About phone -> System updates
- Follow the on-screen instructions. First download the update (you will need a Wi-Fi connection for this), then it will prompt you to install.
- The update will reboot the device and install itself. If this part fails it’s because you are not on stock 1.2.6 firmware. Start over and read the directions.
- When it boots back up, verify USB debugging is still on. Some users report that disabling and re-enabling USB debugging solves a few issues with the script detecting your device (Settings -> Applications -> Development).
- Run afterupdate.bat (If you’re using Windows 7, run as admin by holding down control and double-clicking).
- Make sure you allow the superuser request on your phone or it WILL fail.
- All done! Enjoy your rooted Atrix on 4.1.57!
