Requirements
Here are the pre-requisites we wanted you to consider: charge the battery that’s integrated on the Atrix HD, use a laptop that sports Windows and install USB Drivers on it (be sure to get the ones that are specifically made for this phone) and get some backups with your important settings and data. After the above have been thoroughly read, go follow the steps in our guide below.
By the way: to regain the warranty back on your handset, you should unroot it. If you look closely on our site, such a procedure will be detailed in a tutorial (use the link from the end of the article to find it faster).
