[Q] Atrix HD Dissambly Guide... anyone? - Motorola Atrix HD

Hello, I had a 2 year story with Android, I had a Cliq XT in 2010, my girlfriend lost it... and then another Cliq XT, Defy, Atrix 4G, Droid 2 Global, then in May 2012, i bought a RAZR XT910, my girlfriend (yes, the same) used, then it froze, and she removed the battery (DAAAMNNN!!!) and she broke the flex cable from the battery, i bought a replacement, and sold it 3 months ago, then I had a Nokia, she took it and lost it, again...
So, i bought just today an Atrix HD, I'm just happy because its much better than my last phone (Nokia-brick)... but, it has the LCD broken (for 99 dollar, i thinked it was a bargain).
My question is: there's a guide for dissambly or something for the LCD replacement? I opened before an Atrix 4G, the RAZR to replace the battery and the Defy to replace the LCD, so i'm not afraid to open the Atrix HD, but it could be great to have a guide for the ATRIX HD MB886, i looked everywhere but i didn't find nothing.
Thank you

I searched here (xda) and found nothing, i google it and received results for buying lcds replacements, in youtube, received results for the Atrix 4G, i havent looked to other forums...
Yes, i talked to her about that, my first Cliq XT cost me 300 dollar in that time with the 16GB microsd, phone cover, and screen protector, she lost it, broke the lcd and digitizer another Cliq XT, then it broke the digitizer from the Atrix 4G, thank god i bought another one for parts (hardbricked), she lost a Droid 2 Global i bought as a backup phone, broke the battery flex from my 1-month old RAZR XT910... i'm tired of it... even worse, she lost my Nokia brick phone, damn, but i still love her...
This is going to be my secret phone for now...

Jumping ship :(

In the midst of fighting with verizon over getting a working revo i jumped ship and bought a Moto RAZR on craigstlist for cheap. I appreciate all the help y'all have given over the last year and how hard everyone(especially mtmichaelson) has fought to make the revo a damn good phone. I have to admit, after tasting ics, gingerbread is just bland! Thanks again guys, and good luck on keeping the revo at least moderately caught up in the wake of all the new JB and ICS phones on the market!
I'm almost about ready to do the same. It's weird how this phone is a little over a year old and already obsolete.

I'm looking at jumping ship as well and buying a Droid 4. I know it uses a microsim and ours uses a full sim card. Do I need to do anything other than cut it down to micro size or will it just work when I stick it in the new phone? Do I need to contact Verizon for activation or anything? Thanks.

Micro is a completely different size and card. You would have to contact Verizon. You can go into a corporate store also. They have extras they can activate for you. Last I knew they were free with a sales pitch for an add a line our upgrade lol.

Haha, yeah. I'm sure there would be a sales pitch. lol Definitely.
Thanks for your answer but are you sure about the card? I've read that as long as you keep the circuitry and contact points intact cutting a sim down to a micro sim will still function. Or is there yet another kind of card I'm getting this confused with?
I recall seeing a how-to cut down the SIM card quite a few months ago. A video even. I'm certain Google would point you to something useful.

You'd spend more time watching the video and doctoring your card than you would spend at a Verizon store getting a free replacement of the correct type....just sayin'....

I did the same thing. Picked up a galaxy nexus off of craigslist for pretty cheap. After owning the original droid I'm happy to be back to vanilla android (ICS this time). My revo had become way to slow for my liking, even with mtmichaelson's rom (which made it way better than stock).
I destroyed verizon. Revo out. Samsung Galaxy S3 to replace. for free.
This is my wife's phone and we've had it for about 6-7 months. I rooted it, ROM'd it (1st Gingervolt, then Broken Out). I'm on the latest firmware update, and again rooted and flashed Broken Out. All throughout, there were issues with bluetooth, Vibe of Death, screen freezes.
I complained just the other day - hey it was Sunday on Labor Day weekend and I had a moment. 1st Verizon rep was willing to send a replacement Revo. I told her that was unacceptable, that all the forums I've read detail that the defects I've cited are baked into the phone, it is a lemon and should be recalled and that sending me the same lemony phone was unacceptable. I urged her to elevate my claim. I was insistent and was really quite angry that she was not getting it.
I then spoke with a really great rep - technical support - to whom I mentioned all I had done (except for rooting and flashing a rom) and truthfully told her that I had upgraded to latest firmware and still had screen freezes and bluetooth problems. I told her about what I read on the forums and how the phone is just fatally flawed. I also mentioned 20 years as a Verizon cell phone customer, my family plan with 5 phones, all with data, and that what I was asking for - a different model replacement phone - was neither outrageous nor unexpected.
She asked what phone would I prefer. I first said a Razr, but said the Galaxy S3 would be great, but I doubt they'd substitute. Without a moment of delay, she said I could have the Galaxy S3 and what color, blue or white... It was shipped immediately and we are awaiting it.
So pretty soon, on ebay, you are going to see our used LG Revolution...
The moral of this story is get past the first level of customer support and stand your ground. insist on a replacement. Tell them that the Revolution is a huge disappointment and does not provide the basic functions a phone should.
Man...i wish my experience with trying to get different phones was better... I did the same thing, insisted that i would rather go to another service than get a revo back... They didnt give a rats ass... The only reason i'm still with verizon is due to the razr i found for dirt cheap. ICS is so nice in comparison!

I didn't know it at the time, but we have to send our Revo back. Still, getting a S3 for the Revo is a home run.

This phone was obsolete when it was released honestly. The Droid Charge came out before it and was a better phone for the most part. The only reason I bought it was for the unlocked bootloader but I guess none of the Android developers did because we only had limited development (not a knock against the people who did develop, but for all the developers who complained about locked bootloaders and then didn't jump on one that was unlocked)

Annoying logo on the front (Atrix HD) ...

Hey everyone,
I'm considering the Atrix HD as my next phone, but i can't stand how it has the AT&T log on the front like that. Does anyone have one that has tried removing it? if anyone has successfully removed it without damaging the appearance of the phone then I will definitely consider the Atrix HD. And please don't try to remove the logo for my sake and damage the appearance of your phone, this thread is just to see if anyone has already tried it on their own accord.
Thank you!
To my understanding, no you cant remove without damage. I have the Atrix 2 tho....

I honestly don't see what the big deal is, it's just a logo. I have no issues with it and can't understand why so many people do. It's an amazing device, don't let a logo be the deciding factor.

I have the Bell version and no logo on it. You can also turn off LTE on the Bell version. Are you thinking of buying it on contract or outright? If outright, look for one on the market place.

I would be getting it as an upgrade on an AT&T contract. I don't see the practicality in getting it outright because it was way more expensive.
And I will get over the logo ... but another factor other than the logo I almost forgot is that the Motorola update schedule fails. I had probably vowed earlier the same day of starting this thread that I would never get a Motorola phone again because their lack of updating is outrageous. How many phones do they have on ICS? One? My Atrix 4G was supposed to get ICS right about now but they changed the schedule to more or less say its up in the air whether we will get the update at all. So no doubt the Atrix HD is an awesome phone, Motorola makes some nice devices but their update policy has shaken my loyalty.

They seem to want to update phones after 2011 according to an article I read. They stated that their devices will receive the jellybean update or they will give you $100 to put towards one of the recently announced phones such as the razr m.

Droid 3 replacement under warranty (Feb 2013)

A friend of mine had a Droid 3 for 19 months, with insurance and extended warranty. The power button stopped working and also caused the phone to have major issues. Given the extended warranty, they requested a replacement and were told there were no Droid 3's left. The system then defaulted to sending a Droid RAZR as a replacement. They got the RAZR in great condition. For those who still have a warranty and are having the issues and especially those who have gone through multiple D3's, you may want to check on replacement. It may have been a temporary shortage at the time but I thought I'd share.

The RAZR is a better device in most ways (faster, more ram, better screen, 4G connectivity, Jelly Bean upgradeable). It sucks for many to part with a keyboard but new devices seem to be phasing them out.
If you don't mind the lack of a keyboard then that would be a great replacement device considering Motorola is sending out a JB update with removed bloat and since 4.x Motoblur has been reduced to a basically AOSP feel.
Just asked today about a replacement for the wife's ancient Droid3. They're shipping another Droid3. Srsly?
I'm only getting it fixed because it had the coverage. Might as well have a new keyboard (spacebar died) before selling it off...
Looks like I'll be buying a Moto X outright in order to keep our unlimited plan.
STUCK!

Turns out the replacement was DEFECTIVE! Damned thing just randomly reboots. Tried all sorts of troubleshooting, but in the end even with just the factory ROM it would still randomly just reboot itself. Now I've got a SECOND return order in the system.
Of course, what's the first thing I get when I bring the old phone back online? A nag message threatening me with a $500 charge if I don't return the unit within 5 days. Phone tech indicated it's more like 30 days. Question is will I keep getting the threatening texts? Eff'in Verizon, what a clusterfck.
Yes, this too will be a Droid 3 replacement. I asked, given the dance they're putting me through, about getting at least something newer, no dice. At least not unless I wanted to give up my unlimited plan...

You might wanna look into the broke phones on eBay as well. Saw this RAZR HD one, just ended, but it was a working screen and digitizer for $25 Canadian. Broke phones are a great source for cheap replacement parts. Just saw a MAXX HD up starting at 99 cents...a possible cheap eb40 mod.

Oops, EV40 is in Maxx HD. It looks similar enough I saw that RHD for $25 C and went "wtf, you have to end the second I find this". I will say that I'm surprised they go for as cheap as they do. A few were priced between 100-200 and there wasn't really anything wrong with them other than some minor scratch and dent -- the best part about having a phone NOT popular with the masses.

[Q] Rooting my device

Is it necessary to go through all of the pain of unlocking the bootloader of my device to root it? Or is there some easier way that allows me to bypass this, as it all seems kind of unnecessary to me?

As far as I know, it's not necessary to unlock the bootloader to root your phone, in fact, I rooted my AHD BEFORE I unlocked the bootloader. As for the ways, you can use MythTools, just search them on the forum.
See above.....though you're lucky because it's much easier to root these days. Anyone remember when we were doing Samba mounts with Linux for root?
Your phone has to be rooted to unlock the bootloader, and I'd advise you to unlock your bootloader now. It's easy and it can save your ass if anything goes wrong with the phone.
There's no reason not to unlock the bootloader unless you can't because it's a work phone or warranty reasons or whatever.
Warranty issues aside, almost every part for this phone can be found for real cheap and the hardest repair is a cracked digitizer or lcd screen, both of which can be done by anyone for $20 in parts and 30 minutes of time. Only thing you might not easily find is a motherboard, but a broke screen used Atrix HD can be found on ebay for cheap and the board swapped from it.

I hear ya. I went "wtf, samba? At least I already run Linux, but this will suck for the average dude.”
I almost managed to get root using a modified samba method and my Defy. Probably could have if I looked into it farther, but rooting became so easy so fast I said f it....the bootloader was unlocked a month after I purchased the Atrix HD.

I picked it up about 1 year ago for 99 cents. Gonna have it for a year longer until the AT&T contract is up. Maybe longer than that if I don't see any phone that's really worth buying.

//There really aren't that many large screen phones with the durable feel that my Motorola phones have.
///Why doesn't Motorola have a phablet sized phone? I hope rumors are true...

Also, a better battery. The stock one... Sucks

I hear ya. I went "wtf, samba? At least I already run Linux, but this will suck for the average dude.”
I almost managed to get root using a modified samba method and my Defy. Probably could have if I looked into it farther, but rooting became so easy so fast I said f it....the bootloader was unlocked a month after I purchased the Atrix HD.

I'm usually able to get a full days worth of crap in with the current KK roms, less if I'm on the internet a lot, but for just music, maps, and phone calls, I can get up to 2 days on a single charge with the EB20. But yeah, I agree...the EB40 should be the regular battery and there shouldn't even be a Maxx version...
Crap battery is the trade off for thinner phones that act as a fashion statement....I don't think any of us are that vain and would prefer a long lasting brick over a short lasting cd case. Blame Apple and hipsters.

If that doesn't take the cake then I don't know what does.

Well, without internet It could last more than a day but I use it most of the time. I wouldn't complain too much about it If I could just buy the EB40 but... It doesn't ship to my country. so I guess I'd need to get a new phone soon. I'm pretty sure It won't be a hipster thing.
And since I have no money, I'll be with my AHD for a while, Lol.

Same here, except the shipping part . That sucks. I picked the Atrix HD for function over fashion....could have got a GS3 at the time, but I don't want a plastic Samsung. Hell, I've only had one friend that's actually liked their Samsung phone and that's a buddy with a Note 3 (and he'd like it if it felt more durable as well as not liking the OS tweaks...his previous phone was a RAZR HD Maxx and he liked that OS)

Well, the kevlar back looks really sexy. I wouldn't like a plastic samsung phone, even though a lot of people likes It, people's tastes are weird... The only thing I like of samsung is the #GALAXY11 Lol
