Things to not do (or to think about) after Root...for now

The users. First off I want to make this very clear, I am not responsible for anything nor is droidxforums for any damages done to devices due to root, since it was up to the user to make the decisions they make. Thank you, please continue to read.
1. First off I am posting this for reasons that were obvioulsy not too obvious.
2. If you chose to delete anything other than something that can be downloaded from the market, YOU took that risk. You have potentially just bricked your device.
3. DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING THAT HAS "BLUR" IN ITS FILE NAME.
4. DO NOT try to flash a custom recovery via Rom Manager then wonder why your phone is stuck with a cool new Motorola logo.
5. This thread will be updated very frequently, before posting questions and what not, just post your problem, no questions please, I will be using this to help as many of you as possible.
6. Most importantly do not mess with the framework right now, there is many $600 papers weights laying around now.
7. DO NOT TOUCH BACK UP ASSISTANCE UNLESS ITS WINDY IN YOUR HOUSE OR OFFICE AND YOU NEED A PAPER WEIGHT.
Thank you.

Mynet.apk
P.S. don't removed backupassistanceclient.apk!!! It will result in a near brick if you try to factory reset after it has been removed.

We tested this last nite,, you can do basically whatever you want as long as you put the phone back to pristine condition before you do a wipe or update or whatever..
Here is the basic method that works to copy files back to the phone if you took out bloat..

It seems that no one knows for sure.
People have been able to root, re-copy any removed system applications ( blockbuster, skype, etc..) apply the .604 update and stay rooted
Only time will tell for sure

I only deleted Blockbuster, Skype, NFSShift, and AmazonMP3/Kindle apps. Would I need to put those back on and unroot if I wanted to do a hard reset?

From what I hear, you need to put back ALL of the apps that came with the phone to apply the .604 update
Un-rooting doesn't seem to be necessary

He is correct, we have had phones with tons removed, copied everythign back with the right permissions, took out all the things that root did, basically un-rooting, apply the update, then re-root, so you will have to put the phone back to pristine before the update, but it works fine.
At least it does for now. As for the rooting, it is a huge gaping hole in linux/android, not a specific phone or phone home launcher so it will likely not be fixed until at least Gingerbread 3.0 IF THEN. Bird really smoked the monkey on this one, i would marry him if it was legal.
But yeah, dont freak out if u removed a ton of stuff, here is a complete pristine system app dir if u need:

Zanix, thanks for updating into the post, i hope it ends up helping people.

Updated OP with direct link to original .apk list

Hey,
Where can I find a list of the correct permissions? I removed like 5 apps and copied them back and still the update fails.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

Check the permissions from one of the files you did not remove
I'm not 100% sure that will work

It is 644 if I recall correctly.

I think you need to check the umask for each file as well

ON the post on how to put back backup assistant it tells you the permissions for all the files in the app dir
its in the first post

So I wanted to install a status bar replacement for Droid X, which involves replacing framework-res.apk. Instead of doing it through adb, I replaced the file with Root Explorer, and it sent it into boot loop. Do I now have a paperweight? =/
I tried doing factory reset, but that didn't fix it...
Edit: It sees update.zip on my SD card in recovery mode (some file I think I downloaded before), so is there a way to maybe apply a recovery command to replace framework-res.apk?
Edit2: sigh, nvm, there is no update.zip on the SD card, I'm not sure where it's reading it from. But when I tell it to apply it, it doesn't find it either. Looks like I bricked my phone

Has anyone been using Autostarts to block the bloat from loading on boot?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

The Titanium Backup "Freeze" feature has been working like a charm for me. I've frozen all of the bloatware (the autorun stuff) and seen no adverse effects on the phone.
The phone seems to perform better without the running bloat. But this might be a placebo effect. The jury is still out...I'm testing. One thing is for sure, I feel better knowing that useless extra processes are not running in the background.
The big open question for me is how does the TB Freeze function work? Is it like the task killers or does it intercept the app on boot?
It does not change anything in the root directory since all the *.apk files are in tact for the frozen apps. This is the main reason I use the freeze since there seems to be little risk of bricking the phone with this method.

Why flash ROMS?

After getting a new hero and using my nandroid from old phone it occurred to me, why not distribute a working backup rather than a rom to flash.
This may not be the best way but if a dev flashed their rom, skipped sign in, made sure everything was functional, then made a backup and distributed that, wouldnt that cut down on people getting mixed results post flash?

Two top reasons, why ROM vs. Nandroid backups...
1. Recovery dependency
2. Customization

1. Specify recovery used or make multiple backups per recovery.
2. Backup would contain basic rom, leaving customization to be done after restore.
After flashing rom, gapps, black market, I always backup then start making changes incase I delete something I'm not supposed to.
Example: lets say I flash my rom and gapps. I start my phone, skip sign in, begun fumbling through menus making sure I get no FCs, etc. Check too see if GPS is working, sms/mms, youtube, camera, etc. At this point everything works and I make a backup. My assumption is that if someone else uses that backup, everything will work for them as well. (google was never linked due to skipping sign in).
Not trying to prove you wrong, just expressing my thoughts until they themselves are proven incorrect.

Both of you guys are Right in a way, and I kind of had a little Idea from Reading all the Posts!
What if a Developer/User "Whoever" was to Upload a Nand Backup But with a John Doe Google Account Just for Nand Purposes, "Basically for Anyone who wants to Download it"
I Read *SO MANY* Posts where Users Have a Hell of a Time Trying to get certain Roms Installed...
So now let's use me for Instance, Say I was having a Issue with Installing a ROM where it just Wouldn't Work for whatever Reason. Actually lets say I was a Noob with Some or Little to Any Experience and Instead as a Alternative I Used John Doe's Nand Backup just to get it Booted!!
Here's the Catch...
From there Meaning once it Boots, and Correct me if I'm Wrong! Wouldn't I be Able to just Pull the Battery and Do a Full Wipe....
Data/Cache/DalvikCache and Reboot back to the Same ROM Minus the John Doe?
Meaning Now I'd be able to Start the ROM Fresh and Replace the Temporary John Doe Account with My Own Email.gmail.com/Password, Then from there have the Option to Create Another Backup with My Own Customizations!
Remember like I said, Although I Usually I Don't have any Issues during a ROM Install, But Realistically That Doesn't mean Everyones is as Fortunate, So this Might, Could be a Alternative for Whoevers Willing to Try it!!
If Anything I Said, Better Yet more or less Suggested is Wrong... Please Correct Me, But the Above is Based on the Best of my Knowledge!
Good Luck!!

ok so using a John Doe account wont work. Once you sign in, that account can only be removed by reset.
Ok so lets just get these out there for people to try out.
Below is a download link to 2 nandroid backups.
The two recoverys used were CW 2.5.0.7 and RA-Recovery-1.6.2.
Download here.
MegaUpload
DO NOT FLASH ZIP!!!
Unzip file, inside your should find two folders. Use the correct file for your recovery.
As always, Nandroid backup first.
Perform a full wipe.
Restore downloaded backup. (In RA-Recovery, if you get a error message, go Here to see instructions on how to restore using adb.)
Reboot
(Click Market to sign in.)
Test away!!
Once booted you should be running aospCMod, dark horse theme, black market, blue and black facebook, black MIUI Music, LauncherPro (themed widgets if you have unlock code), Black Youtube.
Apps you will NOT see in drawer are camera, gallery, file manager, dev tools. And prob some others, cant remember atm.
Thank you in advance for helping me test this out.

A similiar method is used on certain phones. The dev can make a nand or copy system and data into .img or .tar files. The recovery then unpacks the images into the correct directory.

I'm using this thread as the testing method. Once we confirm the advantages of it and that it works well, I will start threads in dev and theme forums. Not sure if I will need permission from creaters of the roms to do so but I will look into that. Eventually I'd like to have a few people helping to get most roms on there and help keep them updated.
So for now do the testing and report back on the results. Also try the CW backup on earlier and later versions of CW.

Dev Server OTA File: USE CAUTION IF YOU'RE ROOTED

POST REMOVED.
I'd like to apologize for posting this update which had previously been available to soak test members and not in wide release. The file was not altered in any way or distributed with any intent of causing harm to Motorola or Verizon.
It was a bad judgment call in posting it for others to use. I was excited at the prospect of bug fixes and feature improvements to what is an otherwise fantastic phone.
That is all. Nothing to see here. Move along.

so have you flashed it?
Does it fix any of the known issues like camera app and so forth

So what exactly is this? A leaked OTA essentially?

So after looking through this file, I placed it on my sdcard, and patched through recovery (power + x).
I was basically reset to stock:
- De-rooted
- Made sure I had all my bloatware back
- Wiped user/cache (this was probably unnecessary but i was all messed up from doing the OTA hacking anyway)
The patch has fixes for many items:
- BP upgrade for the Radio
- Talk2 for Video
- Boot.img patch
- Recovery.img patch
- Various patches to alot of system files
- And some stupid bloatware patches as well.
User's beware if you also want to patch this file. Be sure to be as close to stock as you can get.

This sounds like the OTA that is being pushed to D3 owners that are in Motorola's soak group. Radio fixes and whatnot for battery life purposes. I could be wrong though.

Million dollar question. I want the updated gtalk when I get my replacement D3 tomorrow. I'll be completely stock so I'll be good to go on this as long as the same root exploit exists. I can't imagine they had time to remove it though.

You can re-root using the same exploit.

Done lol, I just took the apk out of the update and installed right over the existing. You also need the libtalk_jni.so from there and out it in the syste/lib folder and you are all set new gtalk with video

So I have another question, if all that is modified is that fact that it has been rooted, what is wrong with flashing this while rooted? Wont it just unroot us at worse and we will have to reroot? Just trying to understand.

Just did. You will need to reroot.

Will this fix a softbrick if you can get into recovery? Any thoughts?

I would imagine the update would fail. If you modified the phone to the point of bricking, I doubt the update would run.

Works great. Already seems faster. Battery reports less for cell standby and phone idle. Either the reporting is better or they fixed the issue.

I've been trying for a while to get this flashed. Even went so far as to reinstall bloat that I had deleted before to see if that would work and it's giving me the same error every time.

I have some really good news, I soft bricked my phone a little while ago because I was an idiot with deleting my apps. I needed my phone and was going to activate the insurance and pay the deductible when I figured I might as well try this. I wiped the cache and data and applied this through the recovery mode and My phone is fully operational now. I can access my contacts, texts, setup accounts and not one force close yet. Now for disclosure I am probably very lucky this worked for me, try at your own risk. I am way to scared to try and delete apps again until I get a proper backup or I see enough people try it themselves with no issues. But to OP... Thank you very much you just saved me $100
edit: Found one glitch, dont know if its my specific phone or not. But if wifi is on and you receive an e-mail the notification light will not go on, if wifi is off it will... Very minor bug though.

So won't this update be available automatically? How does it work with motorola?

So I must be an idiot or something. I put the file on the root of the sd card and then booted into recovery. It gave me an error. Said can not mount sdcard file or directory doesn't exist.

Bionic 5.5.1_84_DBN-55 Auto_DeOdexer

For those of you that do not want to DeOdex their phone manually, here's a script I created to do it for you. I've created this same script before for the Droid X, and it's quite simple. Here's what you need.
1) Your phone must be Rooted.
2) You must install Bionic_Bootstrapper.
Below you can find these items.
COMPLETE GUIDE TO ROOT AND BOOTSTRAP
Once you have that.... download my DeOdexer and put it on your sdcard.
Bionic_AutoDeOdexer
MIRROR
Reboot into recovery. BACKUP YOUR PHONE!!!!
Once that completes, then go to install from zip. Choose file from zip... find the Bionic_DeOdexer zip file... and run it.
There is a script at the beginning that checks the build.prop file and makes sure you have the correct build. You must have 5.5.1_84_DBN-55. If you do not, I hope it fails.
Reboot.... and all should be good. Now that you are DeOdexed.... have fun theming!
As you should know, do this at your own risk. Yes, I've tested this on my phone and had no issue. This doesn't mean you won't experience a problem. I'm not responsible for what happens to your phone.
ENJOY!!!

Worked great. Saved me a lot of time from manually deodexing.

Have you removed or touched any of the system/app/ 's ?

I'm running the rooted stock rom. I haven't removed any programs or modified/renamed anything in /system/apps, however, I did freeze some of the bloat using TB. Do I need to defrost the apps first before running this script, or does it matter?

If you modified any of the APKs, to include freezing them, I cannot guarantee it will work. Best thing is to be completely stock and rooted. At least that's the way I did this script.

Thanks for the answer! TB has a batch defrost, so if I decide to go ahead & run this script, I'll defrost everything first.

I did mine with frozen apps and it seems to be working well. Was able to install the 1% mod and use a custom battery icon too.

Good to know. I do know that depending on how the person downloads some packages, they may get corrupted during download. If it fails one time... try again. If it continues to fail, re-download and try again.

So the file isn't available any more?

Worked great here, didn't unfreeze anything before running it and no problems to report.

Kind of a goofy question, but is there any reason that deodexing the stock (rooted) rom would worsen data loss issues?
The reason I ask is that I reverted to stock yesterday after experiencing substantial data problems with UNLEASH3D 1.5. Ran well for the entire day and this morning. Then, a couple hours ago, I ran this script and have had nothing but issues since, with both WiFi and cellular data dying, and not coming back without a reboot. Reverted to stock again, and all is normal.

After running this script, I noted that my normal list of around 60 or so market apps is now showing only around 13 apps. Also, the market app asked me for authorization when I started it up. So, I don't know if this script, or maybe an automatic update to the market app has caused my missing downloaded apps.
They are still on the phone, and still backed up with TB, but they are not shown in the market My Apps page.
Any thoughts or solutions?

...Argh, never mind, this phone seems to have a mind of its own. The account chosen for My apps was not my main google account but another one. Not sure how this happens, but I find little things like this all the time with Android. My favorite is that my email delivery settings (push vs. manual vs. schedule) seem to change on their own!

Safestrap v1.08d..... black screen

after installation,
safe boot menu => toggle safe system => (yas) enable safe system backing up ...., restoring .... swap to safe sys. complete , safe is ENABLED (color green)
now, back to 'reboot system now' i see the M logo and the 'safe system ENABLED' ......and....Black screen!?
battery pool, restart => do safe system DISABLE and it's boot properly

Did you install a rom in safestrap mode? That's normally why you would get a black screen as you need something to load.
Nonsafestrap and safestrap modes are a dual boot system.

no, only safestrap

That is most likely why. You have switched over to the Safe Strap system, but you haven't loaded a ROM to the safe system... so it's trying to boot, but there is simply nothing to boot yet.

I would suggest maverick 3.0

Can't wait to try maverick. But I must say: liberty rom has been amazing (speed, battery life, etc.)

Mavrom is not bad. Pretty fast but battery life isn't as good as liberty. Mavrom has the physical keyboard alt keys mapped wrong. I fixed it by copying /system/usr/keychars and /system/usr/keylayout from liberty into mavrom.

I'm gonna need to try flashing another ROM. I waited to get back on Verizon before flashing cm9 because the xt883 radio was apparently an issue. Now that I'm back on Verizon, I try to flash cm9 to my safe system and no dice...black screen no matter how long I wait :-\ hopefully it's just some dumb little step I keep missing. It's not a wipe issue because my safe system hasn't had any custom ROMs flashed on it yet, and I've wiped anyway lol.
Before activating back on Verizon I did a full reset via the fast/easy unbrick method. Seemed to get everything clean.

CM9 seems to have a bit of a special flashing ritual. Check out the threads on CM9 for the exact instructions and other people's findings.

I've been pretty happy with Maverick 3.0 as well. Fixed the physical keyboard (thanks Endoroid). I had Liberty before that and it was very good except no real option to enable or disable data roaming, there is no battery/data manager. Mav is not as customizable as Liberty (although it does have a toolbox with various themes to choose from) - it's been smooth and stable so far. I'm using Mav with Tag Home as a launcher and I keep a bunch of quick shortcuts collected in a couple of folders in the drop down using Bar Shortcuts.

With liberty you can check battery stats settings>applications>battery manager(or whatever)

Yes I agree, I wish Liberty had the data roaming option available. I read about a line that can be added to Liberty's build.prop to turn it on. But I also read that it may require a wipe. I did it anyway (without wipe) and will see what happens on my next trip to the US...
