It depends what carrier you obtained it from. I'm not familiar with the carriers in Pakistan, but if your phone is not from AT&T I would recommend following the International bootloader unlock (IHOP)

Well, if you have an IHOP phone, you'll have to apply a RAM fix after unlocking. If you have an AT&T phone, you should be set.
Just to be clear, there is no AT&T logo on the back cover of your Atrix?
If there is an AT&T logo, go ahead and flash using the AT&T pudding.
If your phone does not have the AT&T logo, you'll want to flash IHOP. If you have a non-AT&T device, the AT&T pudding will not work for you.
To be safe choose ihop I believe it works even on att so choose that to be safe

Thanks. i have ATT logo on back and box as well. so i will give a try to ATT. Can you please tell me what is pudding. it a new term for me

I'm sorry! I didn't realize you didn't know what Pudding was Pudding is just the term we use for the file that will unlock your device. That guide you just linked is perfect, and make sure you download the AT&T files.
Your device is an AT&T branded Atrix, so pretty much everything will work for your device.
Good luck with your bootloader, and enjoy!
Thx for help.
Well since it's an att atrix my video guide will work

I just recently purchased a Bell Motorola Atrix and am interested in rooting it, installing CMW and installing a Custom ROM. I'm a bit worried because some of these tutorials specifically mention "AT&T" and not "International" or "Bell". Is it possible to root and install CMW and ROMs on a Bell Atrix? If so can you send me a link to the appropriate thread (tutorial for rooting/CWM/ROMs). Also, is it possible install the Alien ROM found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186537 on a Bell Motorola Atrix?
Thank you!
p.s. Any software unlocking method out there that I can do myself that doesn't require $$?
responding to your PM now
I am also curious. I've had an Atrix for a month now, still stock fw.
I am dying to get gingerbread on this thing after seeing the AT&T version get it.
I've scoured the forums many times without a surefire solution
Once you unlock the bootloader using international ihop pudding you can flash anything you want. Just make sure you have the right international kernel and any rom will boot. This is a bell atrix and I've been on alien, cherryblur, picherry, and cm7. Cheers.

I am JUST realizing now that Bell IHOP isn't some other carrier from another country..
"IHOP" threw me off. IHOP = international house of pudding.
I seriously though it was some other carrier. Ugh.

I'm going to be honest, I don't know what you're talking about :$
Hey guys, i've been working on my atrix and i'm currently a bit stumped. In this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138204 thread for fastboot rooting, it asks you to input "fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img". I don't have this preinstall.img, I found one from the post above but it's under AT&T only, some help would be great. Thank you
Don't need that step. If my pm suggestion works let the community know.
So I have officially unlocked the bootloader using IHOP and now i'm a bit confused as to my next step. Y2Whisper says that I can skip the rooting because it's included in the Alien ROM. So I thought to install CWM here but it tells you to "Remove install_recovery.sh" which I attempted but could not do since I do not have superuser permissions since I am not rooted. I assume I cannot install the Alien ROM without CWM. Some help would be really appreciated, thank you.
p.s. What CWM should I install? I've always used the one that came with ROM Manager, is that one compatible?
EDIT: Attempted to flash this CWM , seemed like it went okay but when I enter recovery i get a "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
I need help Unlocking the bootloader on the Bell Atrix 4g 2.3.6 every method I found it said skip if you're on Gingerbread and I keep getting Oem not implimented.
I just want CM7 The stock ROM is buggy as hell
Edit* Found a method for 2.3.6
which method?
The method I used is the one from Breifmobile.com you have to flash with a pudding file to it fairly easy

Could really use a reply on how to unlock the bootloader here, it feels like pulling teeth just trying to get info on how to do anything with the bell atrix, I've spent the last 4 hours scouering the internet for guides on how to root and unlock the boot loader for a bell atrix running 2.3.6 however all of the forum and links and guides are out of date or only for the at&t version.
I semi bricked my Bell Atrix 4G when I tried to root it with a method that buddy used with his Galaxy S2 and haven't tried since I got it repaired.
I'm almost given up on rooting my Atrix but does anyone know a method that works on a BELL Atrix 4G?

Bell Atrix 4g need to unlock the boot loader

:laugh: if ur on at&t !!
the best way to unlock is to use the automatic bootloader unlocker !!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ight=automatic
for how to do it, here's a youtube video describing the same !!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6a0BWquqAc
also do some research before doing it !!
and be sure, never flash sbf files or use rsd lite after unlocking the bootloader !!!
i unlocked my bootloader using the automatic unlocker (but i was on 2.3.4[4.5.91]) !!!

Hi, i was wondering if someone can help me out, I'm a noob to atrix (HTC's are my thing).
I just got a motorola atrix from bell mobility, at the moment is carrier unlocked by code. I want to do the following:
1) unlock the bootloader
2) flash clockwork
3) root the device
Since my phone is already carrier unlocked do i need to skip any of the previous 3 steps?, I want to able to install custom roms on my phone (but i don't want to brick it), remember my atrix is a bell mobility atrix (not an At&T atrix). I went over the tutorials in the forum but found nothing regarding bell mobility atrix, if someone has some info regarding what to do I will really appreciate it.
Thank you!!!

Do i have to skip some steps since my atrix is carrier unlocked by code, or do i follow the guide step by step?
you have to do all steps. You have just unlock carrier, not bootloader.
root then unlock then flash cwm
then flash rom may have to reroot after unlock (i did )
I never had a SIM carrier phone before , been with Sprint all my life, tomorrow ill be switching to T-Mobile and didn't think about our phone being global is it possible to activate through t-mobile by unlocking or what will I have to do ?

You should probably give it a little more time to get a proper write-up since flashing radios can be on the risky side. Good news is that will be very soon
Sent from my Photon 4G via Tapatalk 2
1. Your Photon must be "unlock" , this mean unlocking the boot loader so that you can flash "custom recovery" and use that to flash custom Rom or Radio.
2. The GSM unlock thread is providing the "Radio" from Japan's Photon that does not contain the locked down on US GSM network (t-mobile, at&t). Once you flashed that to replaced the current Sprint Radio, it should work with t-mobile or AT&T, however it will not work with Sprint CDMA.
There are 2 types of unlock:
1. Unlock Boot Loader
2. Unlock SIM card
So be careful.
what are the commands to actually flash the radio?
I know how to unlock the boot-loader and all that, just never flashed a different radio

If you already unlock the boot loader and had CWM recovery installed.
1. Then go to this thread first, Read and follow the procedure to get rid the Sprint activation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265816&highlight=how+to+bypass+activation
2. Go to setting and set mobile network to GSM
3. Go to this thread here, Read and download the KKDI radio and flash the Radio through CWM recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664212
4. Insert your SIM card and reboot.
It should work. Beware that it will not work on CDMA Sprint any more after flashing the GSM Radio.
Okay...lol...I say this now and apologize 1000 times...I am sorry that im a noob. But we were all noobs at one point..So please show some compassion. -_-
1,000,000 Thanks to halfevildruid for his Photon Unlock GSM thread and Lokifish Marz for his All things MoPho! thread.
halfevildruid gave a 4 line "guide" to unlocking GSM on a photon.
1-SBF to stock base. Root your phone, unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and perform a nandroid backup of your stock rom!
2-Flash KDDI radio from recovery.
3-Flash your ROM. You may need to enable GSM/UMTS in your mobile network settings. You also may need to enable data roaming and set your APN's.
4-Profit! If all you wanted was the unlock then your done! otherwise...
I dont want to get lost in his 50 pages and wanted to reach out to the Photon portion of this community for a slower...more detailed "How-To" for someone like me. LOL.
I can read. VERY well. And if there are guides to each step needed, I will read them and complete them.
So here is MY photon...
Basic, stock photon. Rooted. Bad ESN so I dont care to ever get back to sprint. I have a t-mobile but the phone is not as beautiful as my MoPho.
Can I PLEASE get a slower, slightly more detailed explanation of how to bring my MoPho back to life with my T-Mobile Sim?

so its easy once you do it once. 1st. unlock the boot loader (http://youtu.be/YCv4RzO2324). 2nd. root your device(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xAYkejI4CE&feature=share&list=PLDE378F92431C38DF). 2.2nd get rid of the sprint verification stuff. ( google it, you'll need root explorer to do so.) 3rd. install clockworkmod( the middle of the video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfJJ0h4d-80&feature=share&list=PLDE378F92431C38DF]). 4th. find a rom that will work with this hack.( the link is on the instructions page.) and 5th. back up using clockworkmod. 6th. flash the gsm exploit first and then flash the new rom. this is how i did it and after trial and errrrrrrrrr i finally got it but i redid it and it took me about 2 hours on a single battery while taking care of my kids and cooking. hit me up if you got questions.
