Here you go I made it easy with a flashable zip ( please read and follow the instructions)
Just flash the zip
Reboot
And you're good to go
If you get an error code when trying to enter the hidden menu then do the next step otherwise you're good)
Using root browser or similar app go into system/app and find the hiddenmenu.apk and click on it and click install
In terminal emulator type "su" then type "hiddenmenu" without the quotes of course and you're in
Here's the zip: https://mega.co.nz/#!r1RnTJBK!opW5B3y4sIOUBg21DuCMXpO4vD8f5frGfer-xBKa0-U
To get back the knock on feature if you've lost it once your in the hidden menu click on HW Device Test then click on Touch Test and in there near the bottom you'll see Touch Firmware Upgrade click that and then click OK wait about 15 seconds and you're set

But I do take the credit in packaging it into a flashable zip
First download the hidden menu apk from xdabbeb's thread from above and using root browser or a similar app manually paste it into system/app and set the permissions to rw-r-r
The using root browser create a file and put this command in the file by typing in the following-
am start -a android.intent.action.Main -n com.lge.hiddenmenu/com.lge.hiddenmenu.HiddenMenu
Hit save them put the file you just created in /system/bin and set the permissions to rwxr-xr-x and save
Then all you have to do is launch terminal emulator and type in the following
su and hit enter
hiddenmenu and hit enter
That's it hidden menu will then launch
Then back in terminal emulator exit out
Here you go I made it even easier with a flashable zip ( please read and follow the instructions)
Just flash the zip

If you're using the zip it should be installed after you flash it
You can check after flashing it by going into system/apps and find the hidden menu apk and make sure it's permissions are rw-r-r

Not getting any errors, when I click install apk it just says app not installed. I first flashed the zip, then I went to root explorer and tried to install the apk I got 'X App Not Installed' after that I wanted to see if terminal would see the hidden menu apk, I typed su in terminal hit enter gave su permission, then typed hiddenmenu without the quotes, was a no go. It being a system app I figured it might see it I had my doubts also.
This is what I get in the terminal app

Theres a new version of the Swype beta that is IMMENSELY better than the preloaded swype that comes with the atrix, it literally fixes all the annoying things of the older Swype versions:
http://beta.swype.com/
Swype 3.x beta works with the method below!
Process:
1) Use Root Explorer/Terminal/ADB to backup and then delete Swype.apk from /system/app and libSwypecore.so from /System/lib
2) Download the installer from https://beta.swype.com/android/get/ (on your phone)
3) Use installer to login and install latest version of swype
After your first phone reboot, if you are experiencing Swype Force closes after installing the latest swype, uninstall swype from your phone and then reinstall it; it should no longer force close after reboot.
If you are still experiencing force crashing after reinstall, try wiping your dalvik cache within CWM. Thanks Dudeman Broguy.
If you want to get in the latest beta, sign up over here. Registrations are open right now, hurry before they close them again!
Thanks to playin4sheezy for figuring this out: post #12
yes, i have been using it all day and it looks and feels great! if you have sideloading enabled, when you start the install it will ask to over write the current one.

Im trying to use the installer and it tells me to disable swype, and you cant disable the built in one. Can you pm me the apk?
Yea, I get to the point where it says "Licensing Swype, please wait...." and it doesn't get past that.
You need to go into /system/app and move Swype.apk to a backup folder on /mnt/sdcard
Then go into /system/lib and do the same for libSwypeCore.so
Give it a reboot and then try to install the beta. It worked for me
How did you move the apk, it wont allow me to do so

you have to use root explorer (and be rooted) or you could use terminal/adb (still have to be rooted)
Sorry for the noob questions! Move it completely? or make a back up of it? and also any apps out there like root explorer but free ?
I tried the above steps but the libswypecore is still in the system folder when i move it as it is read only...

If youre rooted, root explorer is worth the money. You have to move Swype.apk completely, and make sure its not there after moving or the install wont work.
Make sure if you are in Root Explorer that you click the R/W button at the top to make the system folder Read/Write access. Then long press the files and click move and goto sdcard and make a folder named "whatever you want" then click paste..
Or you could do this using adb with Atrix plugged into the computer:
goto command prompt
type the following:
adb shell
su
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cp /system/app/Swype.apk /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup
cp /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup
rm /system/app/Swype.apk
rm /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
Hopefully this gets you going

Is your phone rooted? If so, then when you typed su in adb shell(not terminal) did it ask you for superuser permission? If so, then you should make sure and accept it.

i get an error on sign-in into the installer, says device id dont match. any ideas?

Thank NBetcher for this method!
It's great that we can root the offcial OTA this way, which is my more quickly than the one that requires goldcard and bunches of other stuffs. However, I know it's a bit too much but is it possible that we can have the rooted official Froyo version that we can flash anytime? Sometimes, I need a stable ROM but flashing the official version and then root it takes too much time. Just show me the way and I will try to do it myself if you don't have time. Thanks in advance

The OTA was released later and it's newer (update3 I think). I am just curious and want to play with is for a while. If there's no major difference among those, then I will use those Mod versions. Thanks.

The files need to be unzipped to the Platform-Tools folder in the android sdk directory. Look in the folder that the android sdk is installed in and you will find the platform-tools forlder.

For this to work you will need to be rooted with twrp installed.
This is for people who are on the stock rom or a rom without init.d support.
1. Download the wp_mod.ko file from @flar2's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701816
and copy it over to your SD card (either internal or external)
2. Boot into twrp
3. Select the "Mount" option on the main menu and tick system
4. Go back to the main menu and then go into the "Advanced" option. There will be a "File Manager" option
5. Navigate to the folder you saved the .ko file in and copy it (just touch the file and it will bring up the menu)
6. now navigate to /system/lib/modules and copy the file there by hitting the "select" button on the bottom right.
7. Navigate to /system/lib/modules and insure the file is there. Now touch it to bring up the menu. select "Chmod" option and enter in 644
8. reboot the device
9. Once booted fully open up Terminal emulator and type:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
10. Once that's done open up a file manager app with root access and mount as r/w and navigate to /system/etc and look for the file install-recovery.sh
11. edit the file using a text editor, adding the line insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko towards the bottom of the file
12. reboot and enjoy r/w on boot without running the command every time
13. profit
is this like being s-off, without being actually s-off
Not entirely, you will be able to make changes to system files while booted but you won't be able to flash fastboot zips like s-off

First off, please don't quote the whole top post when its a long guide like this. I know its the default to quote the post when you reply. So just delete it, before you submit your post. We don't need the thread cluttered up with multiple reposts of what is already in the top post.
The mod makes very specific changes to the kernel, so I would say there is most likely no way in heck this will work on an M7, and might even damage it.

Still unable to get this to work,I followed your detailed instructions and wp_mod.ko is in correct directory with correct permission and install-recovery.sh is modified correctly.
However after final rebott (several in fact) /system is still r/o
I took a TRWP backup before I started so I restored and followed your instructions again , still same result, should this work immediately or will it take several reboots before it is operative? Other discussions on this and other sites indicate the latter.

Whichever Sense file corresponds to your Android build in Settings>About>Software.
If you are on the stock ROM, I'm guessing 4.4.2, since I do not believe 4.4.3 has rolled out to T-Mobile yet.
As usual, I would make a nandroid before flashing anything.

No problem!
Thanks Topsnake. Does the VZWEntitlementservice.apk rename have to be done with this build? Maybe I'm mis-remembering but I seem to recall only having to do the tethering option / build.prop change the last time or two around. I haven't taken the update yet to test.

No, but you can if you want.
Will this work for Build 23.3.24?
Thanks,

Thanks to HypoTurtle for providing the .img files! I used them for this, and please give him thanks too. Here is the link to his post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/systemless-root-remixos-64bit-t3368131
Looking for a step-by-step to root the most recent .205 Remix OS? I have tried here to put together a procedure that most can follow. Please let me know how it works for you.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT MESSING AROUND MIGHT RESULT IN PROBLEMS IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
This is only for 64 bit. Please note that you MUST type all command line commands Exactly as shown (including spaces and caps)
First, download and install Remix OS from their website. Go through the complete installation.
Next, using the Remix Browser, download the following four files:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3gcDbDvV4MkVWRxU3pYMzVUWEU
To substitute the new ramdisk.img:
Open the File Manager twice from the file launcher. You should now have two windows open. You can move them around and resize as needed.
From one File Manager window, click on the Drive# with your Remix OS folder (Usually it it the bottom drive on the lower left). You will see a Remix OS folder.
Click on it to open it. Now you should see the files including one named ramdisk.img.
Click on the ramdisk.img and select Rename from the upper right menu (you should see a check symbol... click on this and then click on the three dots to bring up the Rename command). Rename the ramdisk.img to ramdiskorig.img (this will save it in case you want to accept OTA (just rename ramdisk.img to ramdiskroot.img and rename ramdiskorig.img to ramdisk.img))
Tap on the Download Folder of the other File Manager window to open it. You should see the four files you downloaded.
Drag ramdisk.img from Download Folder on the first File Manager window to the Remix OS folder in the other window. You have now replaced the original ramdisk with the "rooted" one.
Now you need to transfer the su.img file into the /data partition:
Press Alt-F1 to open the command line. You should see a line of text with the # symbol.
To copy su.imginto /data, at the command line type: cp /data/media/0/Download/su.img /data/su.img and press ENTER. Note the locations of the spaces after cp and img. If you receive no error statement then you did it correctly.
While you are here, you can activate Google Play store:
type sh /data/media/0/Download/Playenable.sh and press ENTER. You should get an acknowledgement that files are being disabled and enabled.
Press Alt-F7 to exit the command line
Reboot your computer again into Remix OS. You should be rooted, and have Play Store if you did everything correctly. Don't be concerned if you have a little trouble getting Play Store to work at first. Just be patient and keep trying. You may need to go to Setup/Accounts and delete and reenter your Google account.
Many users want to have a different launcher from the one in Remix OS. If you wish to use your launcher of choice:
Download your launcher from Play store
Press Alt-F1 to open the command line
Type sh /data/media/0/Download/Launcherenable.sh and press ENTER. You should see an acknowledgement if you did this correctly.
Now follow these steps to activate the new launcher:
Press Alt-F1 to exit the command line.
You will be prompted to select your launcher. You will have to minimize the launcher (in upper right corner) in order to click the prompt. After enabling your launcher, be sure to go to the Settings/Applications and set your launcher to Open in full screen mode.
Set to go! Have fun.

Hi, with this root method, cannot edit init.sh?

Not directly without also replacing initrd.img to mount /system rw (and break OTA).
Fairly sure these are my unaltered files so there are other options.
1. You could add a su.d script into /su/su.d to do what you need
2. I added a script that mounts files from /su/vendor/ over /system so - /su/vendor/etc/init.sh would be /system/etc/init.sh (not sure if it's there by default - if you add the path to /su/systemfiles.txt it will be)
ok thank you.
