So we have confirmation that superoneclick and aroot doesn't work on the new atrix update. If any dev will work on this please use this thread.
EDIT: Please don't comment on this thread anymore. Go to Ririal's v2 root method
I just updated and it does seem smoother to me. Might just stick with it.
please everyone, this thread is for getting root on the update. if you want to comment on the update itself, use my thread on the general forum

Maybe this is your first piece of electronics, but it's completely expected that everytime a software update for a piece of hardware is released, exploits are closed. Apple does it, Sony does it, Microsoft does, HTC does it, Motorola does it, Nokia does it...The list goes on.
This WAS EXPECTED. I always found it entertaining how whenever an update was released for my EVO the forum here on XDA would get absolutely flooded with people saying how they lost root NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THEY WERE WARNED! It could take 5 minutes, 5 hours, 5 days, 5 weeks, 5 years, or eternity for root to be regained after an update. There's no way to know.
any way of installing 3rd party non-market apps, like amazon appstore?

Pretty sure that's why he made the thread - we're being patient, just looking for someone to work on this fix. I'm ashamed I even posted on this comment, but if you're not going going to help fix it, you shouldn't be either....
Hey everyone, if you want to sideload apps just use the ADB INSTALL method it works for me.
I still have my root after update
Hello,
I just ran the update, it shows in the system version as 4.1.57 yet I still have my superuser permissions and can tether without adding to my plan. Not sure how or why, but it happened.

I would be helping fix it if I had the update. I'm still waiting for the notification, but thanks The OP is just forum clutter, and it's pretty rude to be making these requests minutes after the update is even pushed, and a BETA update, at that. That was my point.
Where are you guys located, getting the update already. I just checked and it said mine is up to date and I still have 4.1.26. Wierd!
Does any one know how to get the message to stop showing up I don't want to loose root and I don't want to be reminded every hour

Did you flash back to stock before the update or did you do the update on a rooted/gingerblured phone? Do you know if you were using 1.2.6 or 1.5.2? Have you tried running su in a terminal to make sure root actually works?
Was worried bout flashing without stock software already installed think ill go back to stock anyway to try it the official way first.. Can always go back and upgrade after rooted though if this works consistently.
The security hole that allowed for root on the phone is CLOSED in this update. There is no way of rooting your phone after this, save going back to one of the available SBFs. Confirmed by designgears as well.
As someone said earlier, "for now" the root method is disabled, and there is no way of rooting your phone after the update "at this moment".
I have confidence everything will be OK.
Boy am I glad I decided to stay away from this "update." I got accepted but when I go to check for updates it says I need a social networking account setup. When I then hit setup nothing happens so I said forget it lol.
What are we needing in order to figure out how to unlock or bypass the AT&T Bootloader?
I downloaded the stock files and have the aboot.mbn and the sbl1/sdi.mdn files. I have never worked on bootloader files before, but have some experience modding kernel and ROM level code.
This may be ignorant on my part - but since we have the files, couldn't we open and manipulate the code that is currently restricting 3rd party recoveries, kernels and ROMS?
What is needed? And/or, could we not utilize the modified bootloaders from another device with similar architecture? Perhaps like the Note 3 or even the S4; not to mention the T-Mobile S5? Since the T-Mobile and AT&T versions of all Samsung phones are almost identical, I would assume that would be the easist route - at least to help determine the differences that are restricting our device.....
Let me know if anyone needs these files or has info on what to look for within them.... I'm happy to mod anything on my end.
Thanks !
Because it is locked we can't just flash over it with another one due to signatures and miss match.
Need to research into the os and associated code to find an exploit that can be used like safestrap.

Or if someone that works at AT&T or Samsung would be nice enough to leak a signing key or a signed unlocked bootloader.
Key from Tmobile S5
T-mobile S5 is rooted. Can we find the signing key used for Tmobile phones? Is there is a remote chance keys are same?
Will recoveries on Tmobile and ATT phone be same?

Thats a good question. I wonder if we know how many keys the S5 will accept for signed updates? I.e. Is there a Samsung and a AT&T key for all S5's or is it per model or is it derived somehow from the IEMI.
Why would the developers even waste their time on the AT&T S5? They know the story behind it. Same ol' thing. I would rather have them actually develop roms on the T-Mobile S5, which we all can use btw, instead of wasting time on trying to unlock the bootloader. If it could be hacked, it would have, LONG AGO!

Well to be fair, if you took the best developers and hardware/software hackers in the world and put them in a room with an amazing salary.. it would be hacked..
So lets not say that its impossible. It is just extremely difficult and beyond the scope of the few developers (if any) that are still around trying to crack into it. The problem is that there aren't that many people that just want to sit around trying to figure out a way to make it work, they would rather move to different phones and carriers instead, because its just overall easier.

Yep, hate to burst anyone's bubble who has a G900A, but it's not going to happen... EVER. Options are to hold out for a developer edition phone from Samsung or get a T-mobile version... which is exactly the same thing minus the restrictions. Or if you are pissed at AT&T, just find another carrier. Maybe if there was enough churn from this, they would stop doing it.

No. Again, there is a difference from root and unlocking the bootloader. I was referring to the bootloader as that's what this thread is discussing. I never said it was impossible, it is quite possible just takes a lot of hard work. My prediction is that it will never be fully unlocked.

I think the problem is SELinux is an extremely tough nut to crack(and I'm guessing you could easily get a six figure payday for an unknown SELinux/PaX kernel exploit in the black market at this point). Pretty much every linux kernel vulnerability exploit code I've seen fails on all of my boxes with SELinux, PAX and hardened GCC(one of these protection mechanisms always ends up killing the exploit before it can deliver its payload). Do we know exactly what SELinux and PAX(if any) features were enabled in the .config that Samsung used to compile the kernel (and if a hardened toolchain was used for the userland)? At least from what I've seen a properly configured SELinux box with Pax and hardened GCC is one of the toughest boxes to crack. I guess what we can hope for is that someone at Samsung did something stupid otherwise its quite possible we could be waiting for awhile(unless a key or signed unlocked bootloader leaks).
(edit: This applies to getting root through a kernel exploit.(Although with SELinux that isn't enough you need to not only be UID0 root but you also have to switch the role to sysadm_r. The bootloader I'm not 100 percent sure on the secure boot process but my understanding from reading other dev's threads is that this will be even harder than getting a root escalation in the SELinux kernel). Although if we could crack the bl we could just inject root easily.

Chromecast has been rooted. You have to have specific devices, as Google locked the device down and is unrootable after a certain point. Check to see if your serial number is listed in the "Rootable Serial Numbers" thread, and make sure you've never updated it over WiFi, as it will automatically install Google's updates and render your device locked permanently. All of this information is covered extensively in the threads around this one you started, use the information that is present.

Also Google has open sourced Chromecast's API's so anyone can develop app support for it. The question is what you plan on doing once you root/jailbreak it. Whatever it is will still require development and app support.
borxnx: Thanks, but I already knew that, obviously I am talking about the *NEW* devices that have a protected bootloader! :-/

Likely you won't see anything open-public until it actually works, as it's a cat-and-mouse game with Google. Tip your hand early and Google could just roll out an update to stop you before the exploit is usable by a significant number of folks.
Maybe its because the exploit was patched very early but i fail to see any benefit from rooting.
And i say this as someone that used to flash 5 ROMs a week.
This device is very limited and i doubt root would allow much

It's more like early access for that, as it should get released to all (supported configurations) once Google declares it ready.
IMO, Team Eureka's web panel adds a whole lot, but I'm the type that likes control over things like DNS and being able to remotely reboot things.

I am quite sad that only those in the US got chance to root on early devices.
Im in the UK and just bought mine but cant install custom roms.
Hope some genius finds a workaround.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If yes, it looks like Android Safetynet gets tripped by just having it unlocked. Many people have claimed their device that previously was able to work with Safetynet apps, now fails (not just Nexus 6s but OnePlus, Honor, HTC....etc).
I believe there are apps that will test your standing with Safetynet.

Android Pay is completely dead to me now. Nobody in the US accepts it, it is a pain to get working, and I might as well have pulled out my card by the time I fiddle with finding the right spot and getting it to work.

It never will unless Google loosens up on the bootloader lock requirement. I seriously doubt they will, as this is the only way they see to guarantee Android Pay is secure. The real issue is future apps embedding a SafetyNet API call when it isn't necessary.

Did the eBay ad tell you it was FRP locked? If not I'd send it back. I've yet to hear of a way to bypass FRP lock in late model tablets. The only other option is to ask the seller to furnish legit "proof of purchase" so you can send it to Samsung tech support and have them unlock it.
BTW: The reason that you didn't find the files is that everytime someone finds a way to bypass FRP, Google finds a way to stop it. The whole purpose of FRP is to keep thieves from using the device. If there is a way to circumvent it, it becomes useless.

Yes I've done a lot of research in the last several days regarding this. The seller claimed they don't know if it even worked. After asking them questions they bought the tablet second hand as doesn't have the contact information of the original owner. I still got it quite cheap so its worth replacing the motherboard with a for parts tablet with a good one.
There actually was a well known method for getting around FRP for this model involving using talkback to access chrome and installing shield alliance from the galaxy store. Unfortunately the app has been removed. I've been looking into the combination file method since which seems to still work in theory I might simply need to do some research and find a different firmware dump or do some intuition with the file names. Personally I think it can be done, and even if not I'll just buy a parts unit.

Well good luck. All I know is that I've seen the question on bypassing FRP many, many times and I haven't seen anyone succeed in several years. Just look at the solution you read about. First of all, you don't get the screen it says you will when you factory reset. There is no way to turn on USB debugging. 2nd, all Google would need to do to prevent it from working is to change the file names.

I had exactly the same problem with a Galaxy A32 and was able to find a solution for the FRP.
Its for the A32 but it might work for you as well.
Basically, it uses the samsung account from another phone to restore apps to the hacked one.
Either or, hope it works or gives an idea for a solution.

Security is so much better now in new Android versions together with updated Google services checks that unless someone on the inside works at a carrier it's just not possible anymore
