The Motorola ME865 is the Chinese market variant of the Motorola Atrix 2 (also known as the MB865 in other regions). It was released around 2011–2012 running Android 2.3 Gingerbread (upgradeable to 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich).

Rooting the ME865 — Key Facts

It is possible to root, but the process is dated and the community support has largely dried up. Here's what you need to know:

General Root Methods (Atrix 2 / ME865)

1. Motorola One-Click Root tools — Various scripts (e.g., "Motofail", "Pete's Motorola Root Tools") worked on Gingerbread builds.
2. SuperOneClick — Worked on some early firmware versions.
3. ADB + exploit method — Manual push of su and Superuser.apk after exploiting a local privilege escalation (e.g., zergRush, GingerBreak on GB).
4. ICS-specific root — After the ICS OTA, root methods changed; the "ICS root" scripts floating on XDA around 2012–2013 were the go-to.

Important Cautions

• Unlocking the bootloader is NOT officially supported on the ME865/Atrix 2. Motorola never provided unlock keys for this model.
• Flashing custom ROMs requires a bootstrap/CWM recovery (e.g., "Atrix 2 Bootstrap"), which itself needed root.
• Firmware region matters — ME865 (China) firmware differs from MB865 (US/global). Using the wrong root script or SBF can hard-brick the device.
• SBF flashing (Motorola's firmware format) is the recovery path if you soft-brick, but finding correct ME865 SBFs today is difficult.

Where to Look

• XDA Forums → Motorola Atrix 2 section (archived threads from 2012–2014)
• Chinese forums (e.g., MIUI forums, 机锋/Gfan, 安卓论坛) had ME865-specific root guides in Chinese
• Search terms: ME865 一键root, Atrix 2 root ICS, ME865 SBF

Reality Check

• Most download links from that era are dead.
• Android 2.3/4.0 is far past end-of-life — no security updates, most modern apps won't run.
• Unless you're doing it for retro/hobby purposes, rooting this device has little practical value today.

If you tell me your exact firmware version (Settings → About Phone → Build number) and Android version, I can point you to the most likely working method.
