[Q] Need tester for one click root for galaxys no computer needed
Hey,
I just wrote this up.
Thanks to jcase for the information and his root for eris: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228
This will root your phone with no button pressing. No need for a PC.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ptkbiyt99bws3ft/Galaxysrooter_Final.apk
NOTE: The auto-reboot will not work. it seems only system apps can reboot the phone. So for now.
Here is the work around
Code:
Just power off... Reboot into recovery...
Hold vol + and vol -
Hold power
Wait for vibrant
Release power
Reinstall packages
Mirror thanks to jphilpot
Confirmed working! Thanks to themykel.
Thanks to all for bug testing. This should be the final version. No need to use astro or anything to move files.
Thanks!
If you like this app and it helped you. Please donate. http://bit.ly/crSq3B THANKS!

if this is confirmed working, i can put this up in my market account for users to easily download / install / use. let me know.

No. It's just the basic root + unroot. Made it simple for my first root app
easy to pop the new busyboxy via market. More will follow for other phones.

Confirmed working on my vibrant. I odin'ed back to stock and re-rooted with this (figrued why not, I still have 4 days left on my free return! )

I just didnt want to test the unroot process. Because i have too much stuff on my phone and only one unit
Very very Much appreciated.
I will update the alert for unroot.

your link is bad

Its down for me as well
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

It's not down, it's a copy paste error.

Tested and does work (first time rooting my phone)... however for some reason my phone some times does not wake up from sleep (had to do a battery pull), the screen wont light up/wake up. I didnt have such a problem before using your root app, weird!!!

Tried it 3 times before giving up and rooting the old fashioned way..with the update.zip
For some reason it kept putting the files on the sd card instead of internal.

did not work for me could not open zip files on sd card

I had that issue, simply move the update zip to where it needs to be, I used Astro

Koush is going to add the root method to clockwork in the extras folder. It would be awesome if koush added a root option for as many phones as possible. That would make clockwork the ultimate android app.

[NEEDED] 6.893 100% stock backup

Does anyone have a backup of 6.893?
Typically I am very diligent, but somehow I forgot to make a backup of stock.
I have not switched to any other update. I have read through everything thoroughly and I apologize for failing to follow instructions. With 5 android devices and multiple flashes I have never missed this before. And I realized it as soon as I flashed TH3ORYS rom
From what I gather the easiest and most effective way to get back on track is to flash a stock 6.893 rom make a backup and move on from there.
I appreciate anyone's help!
I am also open to using this thread or creating one in delopment to post the stock roms of every version.

Not entirely true. His system will be back to 5.5.886, but his kernel/radio will be his previously upgraded 5.6.893. He is off the upgrade path until he gets the matching system file of 5.6.893. Only then can he continue updating. I just went through this exact thing, used the one step recovery, but went back to .886 and had to beg to find someone to send me a CWR back up of their 5.6.893, which got me back on track.

Oh yeah...nevermind. I completely thought you were wanting stock not the ota. That's what I get for speed reading.

I'm afraid I dont, I got back to 5.6.893 then immediately upgraded to 5.7.893 and backed that up, since .6.893 was no good to me any more. I'm sorry.

Someone out there has to have this!

Wont it fail because I'm not coming from stock? And if I go all the way back it wont work because ill end up with a hybrid?

I'm in the same situation. Yes, all attempts to upgrade fail because our sys filed don't match our radio. I need this nandroid as well.

Giving someone a backup made on your device or restoring a backup made on someone else's device is an extremely foolhardy proposition. You are cloning the Android_id from one device to the other, which means that apps that use it as an identifier will push and pull data from both devices without any intervention from the unknowingly affected user.

system img
correct me if im wrong but, all we need is the system img right because im stuck with a hybrid

Does anyone know if restoring my 5.893 back up will work, or create a hybrid? I ask because I think it is the same radios?

Check your pms and please don't share in case there is some of my data still left in the backup. just download all the files and put them in a folder and put in your clockwork backup folder on your sd/ext, probably the best way is to restore with advanced restore and just restore system only.

I have really been through the ringer today. I started off this morning by noticing that I had no data at all. I was on 6.893 and TH3ORYROM 2.1 and have been for a few days with no trouble until today when I lost data. I tried everything to get it back, but nothing. I called VZW to make sure there wasn't a network problem in my area and they suggested that I try everything that I had already done (bat. pull, sim card re-register, turn off LTE radio, etc). When they couldn't fix anything, they wanted to transfer me to tier 2 tech support, but they apparently need to talk to me on a different phone so they can diagnose this one, but I didn't have access to another phone. So I decided I would try to flash one of the updates hoping it would reflash the radio file and wake it up. When I got home, I used the R3L3AS3DRoot to restore to stock and tried to install 7.893, but the update failed. I searched around and tried every method I could to get any of the updates to install, but nothing worked, still no 3g either. Eventually, in my desperate attempt to fix this myself I decided to wipe everything and start over. I wiped the webtop partition. I think that's what really screwed me up, because nothing else I did was any different that what I've done in the past. After wiping everything, I went back to the R3L3AS3DRoot and tried to run it. No matter which option I selected, it seemed to run fine, but I couldn't boot past the fastboot screen. I tried to fxz using RSD Lite, but every flash I tried failed. Then, in a panic, I came across P3's moto-fastboot method used to "get you back on the update path". I ran that and it freaking worked!! Then I figured I'd try to get up to 7.893, but I've tried absolutely everything I can find mention of and nothing works. Every install fails. I am getting some intermittent 3G now though. And to top it all off, I discovered that none of the nandroid backups I've made will restore and most of them don't even exist. I just discovered that I needed to check "use external storage" for the backups to take. I thought I had been covering my ass by making backups, but they weren't valid. Currently I have stock, rooted phone with an intermittent 3G signal. System Version 5.5.886, baseband CDMA_N_03.1C.57RLTEDC_U_05.15.02, kernel [email protected] #1, and build number 5.5.1_84_DBN-55. As I sit now, my plan is to see how it acts tomorrow and if I still have a lot of trouble with data, I will return it to stock unrooted and take it into a Verizon store and see if they will let me try a new SIM card. I don't really know what else to do at this point.

[Q] Anyone have a stock 5.5.886 ROM?

I need to apply a 5.5.886 ROM but I can't find one on the internet.. do they exist?!

Thanks man! got them, they worked.
had to fiddle with it a little bit to get them in the /app folder but I was able to make it happen.
I basically copied them, went into system/app and renamed systemui.apk and it instantly began a FC loop.. thankfully there's a very brief pause between clicking the FC and allowing me to click paste.. did this for both the APK's and viola.. back to stock notifications and I was able to update without wiping!

Cool. I am glad it worked out. Did you do this instead of flashing back to. 886?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

yup.. copied both files, and rebooted. I was able to successfully go to OTA .893 and then root.

.901 without root

Anyway to flash this. 901 update with out root? ?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

I don't think so. I am rather new here so I could be wrong but from all my reading it seems that .901 was only leaked. Whether officially or unofficially its only been pushed to a limited number of devices and so some kind soul has uploaded a copy of it for us to update are devices with sadly for some only through rooting. I have however read that if you don't do the 43v3r root thing and use the path saver 1 click root might not stick. So rooting and than updating to .901 might undo the root, But I don't know if you would be interested in that or not.
Hope this helps a bit.

Even for those who are rooted, this has to be flashed using stock recovery so I believe this would mean that you do NOT have to be rooted to flash it. I know that you used to have to rename it to "update.zip" in order to flash it via stock recovery, but I think this might have been changed.

Dude, just throw it on your SD CARD and let us know if it worked.
Most people on here want to be rooted if for no other reason to create a quality backup.
If it doesn't work, it won't hurt anything and you've answered your own question FOR EVERYBODY.

Yup...
Yeah, I had stock 893 or whatever it was, the last update pushed by verizon...
I grabbed the 901 update, and either left it the way it was, or changed the name to update.zip and put it on my sdcard. Booted into recovery mode (This is the normal bionic recovery since your not rooted), and ran the update. Installed fine.

1. Hold both volume buttons and power button at start up.
2. When phone boots there will be letters on top of the Motorola splash screen,.. scroll down to android recovery.
3. Select with power button.
4. Once in recovery you will get the andy with the triangle hold both volume buttons and you will enter stock recovery.
5. Scroll down to / install zip from sd/ card.
From there just select your zip file and let the phone work when finished it will need to be rebooted it might take a little longer then normal but that is fine.
That's it your updated.

As of now there is no way to root 901. You have to revert back to 893 or 866, then root and upgrade to 901 again. The easiest way that I know of to go back is to use p3droid's one click method that can be found on my droid world. If you are going back from 901 there is an extra step where you have to flash a seperate cdt.bin file. The one click method will also allow you to root.

You left is as a zipped file? Your bionic extracted it, eh? I wonder if mine will recognize the folder unzipped?

Im a little confused because of my self proclaimed noob staus with motorola, htc and samsung is where im best suited.
In any case, im running stock 901 rooted, can I just flash this to get back to complete stock or is there something Im missing.

Yes I left as zip as it is a signed zip it installs fine doesnt even wipe whitch I thought I would

I did unr3l3as3droot and forever root first. Then I did the path saver. Then I flashed 896 and 901. After that, I downloaded the 902 ota but didn't install it. Moved it from /cache to the external SD card. Then I turned the phone off. To turn it back on, I hit both volume up and down as I powered it back on. That took me to a different menu that I can't currently think of the name but that is where you will flash 902 at. Remember that the 902 update has 901 in its file name when flashing. If you come across a triangle thing, hit volume up and down and the update will flash.

There is an easier way then this now...
1. Install update
2. Use the Droid 4 exploit found at vulnfactory.org/blog/2012/02/11/rooting-the-droid-4-a-failed-bounty-experiment/ and yes it works for the Bionic on 5.9.902 (i just got done using it)
3. Look at your phone.... its now rooted.

And everyone who uses it should donate to djrbliss and prove that the Android community can support such a valuable asset!

I just did the OTA over wireless and did the update and I kept ROOT.
I did un-froze all the apps I had frozen with titanium backup before applying the update.
Still have root...

In my case, the update wouldn't install. I had to go all the way back before I could go forward.
