I have the APK's from original stock ROM for froyo 2.2.
I've removed them from my phone using titanium backup.
I tried to install them back with terminal emulator+busybox. I dont' see it installed.
I used Android mate to go to /system/app and try to install the files from there but I get can't install message.
What gives?

You don't get a message telling you that you have installed something in system like you do when you install something from the market. After placing the apks in system/app reboot your phone and you should notice they have been installed...

I restarted but it didn't install the apps. I'm trying to explore why it didn't and where else could it effect the system.
I'm running Phoenix Unleashed on my Captivate and love it, and while the Gingerbread keyboard is fine, I really miss the predictive text and the functionality of the old Samsung keyboard from Froyo.
Does anyone either know the where I can get the app or the .apk so I can pull it from another source?
I discovered that AxT9IME.apk was what I was looking for, so I uploaded it to my phone. However, it won't install. Can anyone think of a reason why the app won't install or how I can install it? (Before you ask, I have selected the option to allow my phone to install unknown apps.)

Keyboards are system apps, you don't install. Put the apk into the /system/app folder using ADB or root explorer. You may or may not have to reboot to get it to show.

If that doesn't work there might be a lib file in /system/lib for the predictive text dictionary also. All I use is swype and thats how it is with that idk about this one for sure though.
I tried both loading the app and lib files. I tried copying them into the rom file and loading the rom, which failed.
I'm just running a different rom. Life as we know it did not cease.

I see there is a new market 3.3.11. I've downloaded it but it will not let me install it. Keep getting application not installed. How do I install it manually?

Just wanted to let you know that it installed fine for me. Didn't have to use a special method.

ok so wouldn't install for me either. i am running monter rom 1.2 just for the record.
i used root explorer, but any file program that gets you into your system app folder will work.
go to system/app/vending.apk now you can rename this file, but i moved it to a folder on my sd card where i keep system stuff just in case i need it again.
after this restart your phone, and try to install the new market.apk. i just hit install right from my download file. everything worked fine.
hope this helps.

here is much better complete instructions here.
I've managed to get my device stuck at a continuous loading screen. I have clockwork installed and noticed I can mount my /system folder, however doing this didn't actually seem to mount it. I'm trying to find a way to replace my build.prop with a backup I've created, but can't get into my phone to do so.
help??? lol, thanks.
Take my replacement Google/flashplayer zip from any if my 10e or 10k rom and open it... delete files in app folder... go back out of app folder into the system folder and put your build prop into it. Put on sdcard from computer ( take sdcard out of phone). Put back in phone and flash it with cwm

Thanks!
So I've added build.prop into /system and deleted the 2 files from /system/app.
I've clicked install zip from SD card and it says something along the lines of:
installing
finding update
opening update
installing update
installation aborted
Is it supposed to say installation aborted after it's installed?
There's a possibility that build.prop actually did copy properly and it's something else I did earlier in the day that bricked it.
im also soft bricked... stuck on LG screen... anyone have any ideas??
If you know how to sign it then sign zip and reinstall.
Otherwise just flash rom again and restore data later

I ended up using an old cwm backup and doing an advanced restore of only the /system. This made the device accessible, however almost no text would show up. I was atleast able to install titanium backup, make a backup, then flash a brand new rom and restore my data on that rom.
I've learned from this to make cwm backups more frequently, and especially have one ready if you're going to edit build.prop.
My friend who also has a moto x just got the software update for sprint. When it was downloading it turned off and whenever he turns it back on , after about 30 seconds it powers back off. Any ideas on how to fix it ???
Please help!!!

I read something about clearing cache earlier but I can't find it now. I am looking to see if I can find it because I am not sure if that is actually what this person did.
Do a factory reset in recovery
Sent on my Moto X
In case anyone was wondering he fixed it with a ROOT browser (has to be root) and going into the root directory (/ not /root) and then going into cache and deleting the OTA. Still not sure how he is going to get the ota. And also it wouldn't even let him factory reset so that doesn't work
Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app
He is probably rooted using PwnMyMoto. This hijacks the stock recovery. That's what's keeping the OTA from installing. He will need to flash the stock recovery via fastboot and then take the OTA.

I have this same problem. Stupidly installed the update today without realizing how it would work with pwnmymoto root.
Now the phone just reboots every 30 seconds. I'm not sure where to go from here. Any advice would be appreciated.

How did he do this while his phone would reboot every 30 sec?

I managed to do it although it was a pain.
Just like he said, install Root Browser. Just keep trying to install it from play store until it sticks. It took me 10 tries because the reboot kept happening before it was done. Then launch Root Browser and accept the allowances and allow it via SU. Again this took many attempts.
Finally once it is installed, go into Root Browser and go directly to the Cache folder off of root, you should see it right away. /Cache
Inside there are two folders, lost+found and recovery, then there is a third file which is a zip file. It's called ghost_blahblabhblah. I tried to rename the file, which just resulted in it vanishing, so I would just delete the thing.
After the file was gone my phone stopped rebooting and it is now back at the prior version.

This happened to mine as well. Luckily in had root explorer installed. All it took was fast fingers :silly: deleting the ota file form /cache will stop the reboot process

So, essentially you could just boot to fastboot and run:
Code:
fastboot erase cache

I had the same problem on a rooted AT&T device. Had to quickly delete the zip file in the cache folder before the device rebooted itself.
Anybody know how to get the update installation done?

Use rsdlite or my python script to go back to 100% stock. Then do the update. Just remember, you cannot downgrade after you update!

I can't even explain how much I appreciate this. I managed to get mine working again following your steps.
Ah! OK. I get it now! The hack to enable root was flashing the kernel image to the recovery partition. Since they used the same signature. Recovery mode in aboot doesn't protect /system so you can mount it read/write.
If you are bootlooping, try just flashing the stock recovery to the recovery partition from fastboot. Next boot, the update will apply. Then flash the pwnmymoto recovery to the recovery partition again after the update and you should be good to go!
In other words... The kernel image does not have the recovery ramdisk. So flashing the stock recovery image allows recovery mode to flash the update. Then switch back to the kernel image on the recovery partition.
If you already had root, this should keep it.

Thanks for this information, I appreciate it. I almost entirely forgot about Root Explorer. That was already installed. Crisis averted.

LIFE saving. Stupid me. That'll teach me to root my phone for particular reason.
A little tip to get Root Browser installed: go through another device to GPlay and install it to your Moto X. During the next loop, it should download, and then install on the following loop. One more pass to enable su privilege, and one more to find the dang file in cache and terminate with prejudice.
Exhale.

I typically use a PC to go to the play store. easy peasy to get anything installed.
