For almost a full day I tried undoing the hack with adb shell in order to install the beta update. You must have your Atrix Rooted and have SuperUser Okay lets start.
1) Check if you have WebtopModBackup in /mmt/sdcard (if not then dl)
2) Download from the market Super Manager https://market.android.com/details?id=gpc.myweb.hinet.net.TaskManager
3) Open Super Manager and go to settings "Enable ROOT function" give SuperUser permission
4) Go back to Super Manager and click on "File Explorer"
5) Locate "WebtopModBackup" once in their you should see 6 files.
6) hold down on the first one (one by one) and select "rename"
7) Erase .bak from all 6 files
8) Check all six files and click "Copy" (its the 3 icon on the bottom looks like 2 papers on top of each other)
9) Once you do that click on "Back up level folder" 3 times (You should be on "/" section
10) Go down to System (folder) (it will ask you 3 options R/w, read only, and so on.. Select R/W then go to "app"
11) Under "apps" (/system/app) Paste the files you copied! The 5th icon on the bottom (looks like a clipboard)
12) You will notice "force close over and over" This is normal" All you have to do from here on is turn off the phone. Lock the phone and hold the power button and click on "shut off"
Your all done! download the update and enjoy.
Note: You will lose SuperUser and Root Acc
Mine failed
Edit: Wrong thread sorry
This is helpful.
After the update are we able to add the hack back in?

At this time their is no way to root. Sideloading still works tho.
This would help immensely if I had the original files. If someone could email me the apk files and the codex files, I'd be grateful.

Ok, I may not need the APKs but I do need the odex files if possible.
im just doing this. results to follow. I assume you meant .BAK and not .DAK
Thanks I replace it.
It all worked perfectly. Many thanks. I will try to put the mod back. I meant to copy the modded files before replacing them but forgot!

WebtopModBackup... Where do I get that if I didn't do any back ups?
After doing this i still had trouble doing the update. I hooked up the phone to see if the webtop mod still existed. Webtop didnt work but I also didnt get any notifications when connecting to hdmi, not even for the media center app. Has anyone confirmed hdmi still works?
webtopmodbackup isnt on my device is there anywhere i can DL this from
I also dont have webtopmodbackup, anywhere that I can DL it from?
anyone? i want to download the update and this is killing me
I can confirm the instructions work fine and I've successfully updated. Unfortunately, I performed the process before I realized anyone might be missing the files or I could have upped them for you all...
webtopmodbackup..if you dont have it..can be put on the phone if you just redo the webtop mod
Unable to launch webtop mode w/hdmi... Any ideas?
I have been trying to use Nookie-Froyo Utils and I get FC every time I try and use it. Cache/Davlik-Cache was wiped and I still have issues.
What is the difference between these *.apk files.
1. nookiefroyoutils.apk
2. Nookie-Froyo Utils.apk
thx
According to this post, you need to do the following:
1) Download Root Explorer if you don't have it already
2) In Root Explorer, navigate to System/Apps (I think that's where you found those apk files)
3) Click on "Nookie-Froyo Utils.apk," the 2nd one in your post
4) When it asks you if you want to install it, hit install/yes (whatever it is)
After that it should work. Go to your app drawer and try it.

I tried that and it says "installed" and I can't uninstall.
ignore this post... sorry.
Loaded the latest ROM, fixed all the problems! Thanks Brian
I am looking for a dummies solution that I cannot find anywhere. I have tried to install some apk files, that end up giving me a "Application not installed". I have googled a little, but I cannot seem to find a solution. I have noticed that some apk files say signed and they will install. In certain situations I cannot find a signed version of the apk that I am looking for.

yeah that would be useful. I know if its a system based apk your trying to move you usually have to replace it in the system folder. it could just be buggy. I once had to freeze the default music app to install miui music.

Opps (I did say dummy) - In Futureshocks Miui rom, he does not have Miui Back-Up installed (Odd I think), so I got a Miui Back-Up apk from another extracted Miui Rom and tried to load it, but got the dreaded "Application not installed". I saw some posts about Root Explorer, Mounting, Permissions but I could not understand the jargon. Is there a simpler way. Tks
why not post the apk? let peeps take a look. (saying from an extracted rom - very vague, lots of reasons why things may not work.) also links to the specific things you are talking about help.

I guess its a system apk for miui so it's not possible to install it individually. Try building your own and include that apk.

Yes that is correct, but I read a post that mention there is a way of changing the permission as follows (My comment are in CAPS)
1.Paste the apk into /system/app
2.hit the mount r/w button - I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS
3.long press the apk, select change permissions - WHEN I LONG PRESS IN ROOT EXPLORER I DO NOT SEE PERMISSIONS AS AN OPTION
4.check read and write on the "user" row, read on the "group" row, and read on the "others" row - WHAT WOULD I CHANGE THIS TO FOR BACK-UP TO WORK
5.hit ok, and reboot
6.enjoy
Does this make sense to anyone.
Apk attached.

Hey
for point 2. look for grey button top right labelled: Mount R/O or Mount R/W
if the btn display is Mount R/W then you are in read only mode & vice versa
and point 3. if the cant see the "PERMISSIONS" option try scrolling down.
as for changing permissions, do this when you have the apk in place.
My comment is after your all caps. I believe you are using root explorer.
1.Paste the apk into /system/app
2.hit the mount r/w button - I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS -you can see this on the topmost part below the notification bar. Make sure r/w is on the left side not inside the button. If it is inside the button then click it to mount.
3.long press the apk, select change permissions - WHEN I LONG PRESS IN ROOT EXPLORER I DO NOT SEE PERMISSIONS AS AN OPTION -you can see permissions options when you long press the apk.
4.check read and write on the "user" row, read on the "group" row, and read on the "others" row - WHAT WOULD I CHANGE THIS TO FOR BACK-UP TO WORK -if you read it well, then it's clear that user must have checks on read and write while group and othera only needs read check. This is in the permissions options.
5.hit ok, and reboot
6.enjoy

In a previous rom (Futureshocks) that grey box showing Mount never appeared, hence why I couldn't understand what I was doing wrong. On my lastest rom tryout, it shows up....... Now in the meantime when I press permissions I get a message "Warning, apk cannot be changed because the file is system read only". Am I back to square one...............

I decided to give the new ClassicNerd ROM a try the other night, and while I didn't enjoy the ROM that much, I decided to revert back to one of my backups.
Unfortunately, Moboot still has ClassicNerd's skin and it looks utterly disgusting and I would like to change it back to the plain old black Moboot screen.
Any ideas on how I would accomplish this?
Thank you.
Edit: I was able to install this Moboot Theme successfully and everything seems to be working. The problem I have now is that "Classicnerd" still shows up in Moboot's options. The problem is that when you select it, it goes through the boot animation but doesn't do anything, because I assume there's nothing for it to boot to.
Any idea how to remove that option from showing up in Moboot?
Edit2: Alright. I've figured out how to remove the Classicnerd option from showing up in Moboot. There were a few files inside of ../boot/. One of which was "uImage.Classicnerd" and the other was something like "moboot.classicnerd". Anyway, I deleted those two files and Moboot no longer shows the Classicnerd option in its boot menu.
HOWEVER..I now have another problem: CyanogenMod is no longer #1 on the list, so Moboot defaults to WebOS. Is there any way to change that? I shall do more research and update if I find anything.
Edit3: Figured out how to set the default boot option in Moboot.
"Open the Terminal Emulator and type:
su
mount -o remount,rw /boot"
Then I went into /boot and opened "moboot.default" in ES Note Editor and I replaced "WebOS" with "CyanogenMod". Make sure you put an enter at the end, because for whatever reason it wouldn't save it without the enter at the end.
--[Solved]--
First of all glad your using my theme
If you want to remove the classicnerd option from the menu then do :
Open terminal and type : rm /boot/uImage.ClassicNerd
Or if you have root browser go to /boot/ mount as R/W and delete the uimage.ClassicNerd
I appreciate the help.
One last question I have yet to figure out: How do I actually change the ORDER in which the items on Moboot show up? I've figured out how to change which one is default, but how do I change the actual ORDER of how they show up on Moboot?
Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure this is possible as there's no file (that i know of) that has order preferences for Moboot... Although i didn't really figure out how Moboot does that yet

Ok, now the problem that I've been having is that for some reason neither root explorer nor ES explorer are letting me mount as R/W, when I try to check the Root option on ES Explorer it automatically says that it was denied superuser, I even changed superuser settings to automatically accept...
what to do here?

You tried updating binaries?
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
if by updating binaries u mean updating SU then I tried but it didn't let me because it says I need root... WTF? I tried checking under options -> developers options and put it to root abd+apps and still nothing is happening... :/
Open the SuperUser app itself, and check your settings there. Something might be changed.
Me, I use the Prompt option, and every once in a while I have to remove an app from the accepted list and let it load itself up and prompt me again. Maybe that'll help you (I hope).
THANK YOU!

Wow. Dude. Where do I start?! Thank you!!! This has plagued my kids tablet for months. Finally, this evening, I thought I would try and do something about it. This boot loader has been causing this tablet to force close after boot for months if it was left to boot up on the 'default' Classic Nerd ROM option (after I flashed another ROM).
Finally fixed.
I have a touch pad that runs cm9 more or less without issue. However I used to rum a kernel known as bricked and it boots to that build automatically, even though it isn't there anymore. How can I set moboot to automatically run cm9 stock without having to hold the buttons, reset the tab and manually select it?

In webos, in pre ware, download cyboot. You can set the order of booting, and you can even set the time to first boot using this.

like above, install Cyboot from preware in Webos.
You can set all the defaults for moboot including time out and which os to boot by default
i tried it without issues.
Or, if you're comfortable, you can edit the moboot.default file in the /boot folder.
Using a file explorer with root privileges, make sure you are in r/w mode, long press on the file and select edit/open in text editor. Change the name to your current rom, guessing it's CyanogenMod (caps matter), double check that name though, you want it to be the same as it appears on your moboot menu.
Save the changes and you're done

you also should delete the uImage.* for the the old Bricked rom that you dont have installed anymore. it will be in the /boot directory.

You have to install preware if you haven't already done so using webos quick install. ,after installing preware you will see it as an app that allows you to install lots of custom apps and tweaks..
