[REQUEST] If you have never rooted your phone, please help... - Motorola Droid 3

During some testing while working on 2nd init, we came across a problem that can only be fixed by someone who has NEVER rooted their DROID 3 before. Even if you unrooted, the signature changes and that doesn't help me.
If you have never rooted your DROID 3, are comfortable with ADB (or comfortable enough to be given some commands to run in ADB), and doesn't mind giving me some time to help, please contact me via PM or in #krazyk (IRC Freenode).
Thanks in advance!

Oh **** this sounds good.

I can't help you today, but I will be getting another D3 soon, and then we can have at it

I'm in Australia, but I have one unlocked and never rooted. ADB is no problems. Happy to help after work tonight

Unfortunately this method would not work, so I have a replacement phone being sent.
Thanks to everyone who replied!

Let me know if you need anything else mate, the Droid is not my primary phone so is 'semi-expendable'. I am happy to test stuff for you.
EDIT: I will keep it in its present state also.

Recently Rooted moto Droid Question

Hey everyone,
I recently rooted my moto droid and was wondering now that I have done this can I drop 1.5 or any other OS on there that I choose? Also, if that is possible can someone post a link or tell me how to go about doing this. That being said, I was also wondering if there is a way to easily switch between android versions for development.
Thanks for your time and help,
Tommy
Here is a link to droidforums. It has links to most rooted Tom's for Droid.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacking/
You can also try other sites like alldroid.org, phandroid. The developers site which is "xda" and "sdx". There are many others so just search around they all have forums for different devices for this information. One of the most helpful I've found for noobs was unlocked.com. give it a try.

Look-up RomManager in the marketplace if you will be moving between versions alot, it handles these changes very well.
As to going to previous versions I can not say for sure. In theory yes but you will ether have to find a pre-made Droid rom or build it yourself.
Thanks!
Thank you both for the replies and information. I will continue my research and see what I can dig up. Hopefully I can find a 1.5 rom as building it myself is a little out of my ability right now.
Yes rom manager would be a good idea forgot to mention it. It works great for switching roms I just have a little problem with mount sdcard in clockworkmod recovery so mine will reboot after entering recovery and rom manager doesn't help some times but it seems to work great for most devices. My problem is I have to reformat sdcard because I came from Eris and I don't want to till I can get a computer to backup info on it.

[ROOT] unrEVOked 3.21: one-click root for Froyo, no downgrading

Hey all,
We've been working pretty hard to bring you unrEVOked 3.2 with out-of-the-box, one-click support for all Android versions on the Incredible.
Available for Linux, Mac, and Windows:
http://www.unrevoked.com/recovery/
Please start by visiting the help page and reading it through:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked3
1. Windows users MUST install the HBOOT drivers for this to work:
http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php?id=public:windows_hboot_driver_install
2. Windows users need to uninstall HTC Sync or any other program that might talk to the phone over USB (doubletwist, etc). Disabling HTC Sync from the system tray is not enough. They interfere with the root process and will cause problems.
3. When asked for USB connection type, select "Charge Only" and "Remember this".
Special thanks to Sebastian Krahmer for the rageagainstthecage exploit.

It's working flawlessly on our testing devices, but we are releasing it for a quick round of testing before distributing it more widely. If you are interested in helping us test, please join me in #unrevokedtest on freenode.net.
I'll replace the content here with the links to the updated tool once we've finished testing.

Can't wait to root my HTC Desire from US Cell... I hope the testing goes quickly!
it worked for me.
specs were
stock 2.2 with ota. no mods previously done.
now I have root with S-off
I would like to test since I took the OTA and lost root, but I am unfamiliar with freenode and can't figure out what I need to do.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Google
I am a google.com kinda person. Just type in your search and let it find the answers.

There's nothing "loaded" with these, they just make modifications to your phone. If you're already rooted/S-OFF there's no reason to run them again.
this is great news. i'm excited for when this is released. but, this will just root it right? it wont turn s-off?
keep up the good work
Updated post - it's live now.

S-OFF is optional.
Hey
So when is the tool supposed to be back up?

I imagine it will be back up as soon as they work out the small bug(s) they found. I can't wait for it either, I'm ready for some for 2.2 lovin.

[Q] Andromeda 2.0 issue

i have no clue where to post this and have searched, so....... Q & A seems like to place to start. i just flashed this rom from dead stock. seems like most apps i try to use on my captivate now get a FC. not with a notification but a series of buzzes. on Super one click root it says im rooted. i did have to enter SU and tell it to allow setcpu but now things like titanium backup i get a blank screen and then a series of buzzes and it exits that app.
please help me or slap me in the right direction.
Bill
You can post questions in the the Andromeda thread in the developers section. It sounds like you got a bad flash. I'd suggest using ondin to go back to stock, do a master clear, then reinstall 2.0. I've yet to see anyone have this many problems with Andromeda so it's bound to be a bad flash.

where to begin?
sounds like the first problem is you tried to root this rom...its already rooted. secondly, setcpu is a bad idea on a kernel that doesnt support overclocking or undervolting. sounds like you need to reflash and DONT restore ALL data from Tibu. just restore missing apps+data
Ok. I will reflash. As far as the rooting thing. I noticed that SU was already there but something came up that said I wasn't rooted. I tried SICR. And after a bit of fighting it, it said I was already rooted. ...........
BRB!!!!!!

I wish users <10 posts can post in the dev sections
Thanks guys. Got it. Might have been a botched flash or the SICR....... and yes I wish that there wasn't a ban on the 10< post for the dev forum. But again, thanks. I have a new favorite ROM now.

Glad you found it. I'm using Andromeda too. It's getting a lot of positive response. I'm looking forward to their update shortly to take care of a few small things.

Help with Bionic Eclipse ICS v1.3

Hello everyone, I am terribly sorry to make this post since after scouring this page Ive seen alot of either unanswered questions or members upset with noobs for posting in the wrong place.
Sooo i'm gonna give everyone my run down and hope someone can walk me through this.
I bought my Motorola Droid Bionic Used and Rooted. I unrooted it to take into Verizion due to media file and battery issues. Afterwords I attempted to understand the "simple step by step" rooting process. Somehow I messed up somewhere and now have the Bionic Eclipse ICS v1.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965305 running on my phone but unrooted. I have everything backed up through Titanium Back up. Can someone please help me with my lack of "su code" issue. I have spent the last 6 hrs trying to figure out where I went wrong working with Motofail and Petes motorola root tools.
Please feel free to pm or email me.
Sincerely,
Ethan S.

Rooting AT&T 4.4.2

Please dont flame me for this. Yes i have searched and no i havent found a solid answer.
I recently got my moto x from AT&T and they updated it in store. ive tried most of the other rooting methods with no success. I have Linux (64 bit if it matters) working adb, and working drivers.
What are my options here? i believe i read that i cant down grade to 4.2.2 to successfully root
If someone could point me in the right direction and not flame me that would be awesome. Thanks for any help you can provide, this will be the first phone ive ever had without root if i cant get it working
Only if your bootloader is unlocked. That's it... If not then you just sit back and enjoy the phone

No root on 442!
Join the outcasts. I have a page of useful links in my signature, but no root. Maybe in late summer.
Thanks for the quick responses. This is disappointing, I saw really looking to de bloat and play with utter and touchless control. It doesn't work like I expected it to.... Looks like I'll be trading it in for a g2.

No. But I shall.
Thanks for posing the question because I was wondering the same thing. I just pulled my 1058 out and started using it again; guess I'll stick with rooted 4.4... doesn't look like i'd be gaining much anyway.
