Simple Thread to show how to root 1.5.7 & 1.8.3 using GingerBreak
Requirements: SD Card(real sd card not internal)
WARNING: THIS WILL DELETE YOUR INTERAL SD-CARD, BACKUP FIRST!!!
First if you don't have adb you need to get it. Easiest way is by downloading SuperOneClick. DO NOT run superoneclick, you only want adb from it.
Next download GingerBreak.apk made by Chainfire, it can be found here
Next launch from command prompt move to where adb is c:/path/to/adb/ and then run the following command
adb install /path/to/apk/GingerBreak.apk
It will install it, next on your phone in your app menu browse to and click on GingerBreak. Click root. Your phone will reboot and you will have root .
I have personally tested on a stock 1.5.7 and it works!
I have not personally tested on 1.83, but it has been confirmed by many. Same procedure applies
If you want side loading use Gladenable.
So to follow up.
Code:
1. Get ADB
2. adb install GingerBreak.apk
3. Run GingerBreak
4. Root
5. If needed run Gladenable to enable sideloading if needed.
6. Done!
All credit goes to the GingerBreak team & Chainfire, all did was apply there work.
Or you could do this, Thanks kennethpen .

nice.....thanks
thats great news for now and for the future xD
Nice.. Very Very Thanks..
This works at Korea Atrix MB860(SK Telecom).
Does this work for phones that were never rooted/have sideloading disabled still?
You can always sideload using Android Sideload Wonder Machine.
Oh, nice. That tool is way better than the other one I have...
Also, the OP doesn't mention needing an SD card installed but the other thread mentioned needing one. So do I need an sd card in?

Yes, you need an SD card (not the internal one). As best I've been able to tell so far, vold can only be exploited with an external SD card mounted.
Because of the risk of formatting the card, its recommended you either back yours up first, or use some old 2GB junker. You can get these in the impulse buy isle at your local grocery store.

Yes this is a full rooting method, afterwards you would need to enable sideloading through say GladiRoot.

I can do one better, I have a 512mb junker Hopefully that will work.
Would anyone happen to have a mirror to superoneclick? the link that they have is to a corrupt file, it wont open.

So we don't need to flash the SBF in order to root now???
I have a completely unmodded Stock Atrix running 1.5.7, and this will allow me to root and do all the cool root type things that cool kids do these days?

Nice! Just a suggestion to make it clear in the title that this roots system version 4.1.57 and does not require any sort of SBF flash. Maybe even update the Gladroot original post to link to this one?
Good . I have MB861. It's success. Thanks jug6ernaut
Do you download to the phone, then run the exe.?
Atrix rooted 1.5.7

I found how for the X2 but the instructions dont work for the Revolution.
Anyone know the way to stop it?
Thanks
Using root explorer goto /system/lib/libdme_main and add .bak to the end of it. You will keep bluetooth and no more update. Make sure you do NOT mess with anything else!

I deleted that file (adding.bak sounds much better) and it has gone away, just like mtmichaelson said.
Sweet thank. Ya on my droid 2 i stopped a bunch of stuff and just did the .bak so if i need it later i can just change it back.
Thanks
Just to double check, this works on revo phone.
When I acess file it has .so file type do I change .so to bak?
I just added .bak after the .so

Revolt - LTE
I'm not sure if this is related, but I noticed that after I flashed Revolt 1.3, I never see the "LTE" symbol in my notification bar. I'm in an LTE area, so I know it's available--does that mean my phone isn't running LTE anymore or is the symbol just not showing up on this ROM? I apologize in advance if this is a ridiculously misguided question--I'm new here and learning as I go.
By the way, mtmichaelson--I said this before and I'll say it again--awesome ROM! Thanks again for your hard work.

So, right now it is a .so file. Do I just add .bak to it, or change it from .so to .bak?
(Just want to be extra sure.)
Also,I would like to root my phone. I found a way that someone rooted theirs with their 2.2.2. Do you think I should root first, then change the file so it doesn't update? Or does it matter?
by the way, Here is the root I found(sorry it's a bit long):
"How to root your OTA Updated Revo:
This method requires you to downgrade your phone back to the V4 stock version. As of now, there seems to be no root process for the V6 update. This method has worked for me and I am also on a custom ROM that has been said to have some, if not most of the V6 updates included without the bloatware.
Step One:
- Be sure to get the following files:
---- LG VZW_United_WHQL_v1.2.0.exe
---- LGAndroidDriver_Ver_1.0_All.exe
---- LGNPST_Store_Lab-1.zip
---- VS910.dll (required to use LGNPST_Store_Lab-1.zip)
---- VS910ZV4_04.S4_04.P58008.R5.user.tot
---- RevoToolkit-1.0.apk (This is untested by me but supposed to provide an easier method to install CWM mod vs the ADB method)
---- SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse (Includes the needed ADB program)
---- rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin (The exploit needed to root revo, not necessarily found with SuperOneCLick)
---- RevoltRom1.3.zip (This is optional, but recommended to speed up your revo and also to comply with the original topic of this thread. It 'seems' to stop the OTA from 'trying' the update since it includes updated features. NOTE that I said 'seems'... Other things I did may be the actual result I haven't seen the OTA try to install...
Ok, so to start, you will want to be sure that you have the drivers on your computer (I'm using windows 7 x64), so that is what this method has proven to work on by me.
Be sure to install:
- LG VZW_United_WHQL_v1.2.0.exe
- LGAndroidDriver_Ver_1.0_All.exe
Both may not be required, but I have both installed and things worked.
Then you will need to install:
- LGNPST_Store_Lab-1.zip
- VS910.dll (This is just copied into the folder LGNPST/Models. My install put the LGNPST program in C:\LG Electronics, not c:\Program Files (x68)... )
- You will run the LGNPST program, select the VS910.dll via Menu: File --> Select DLL.
- Then, in the bottom right of the LGNPST program, select BIN File (folder icon) to load the 'bin'.
--- This will require you to enter *.* in order to find the .tot file. Don't worry, this .tot file is what you need in the LGNPST Program.
- Once loaded and your phone is connected and recognized (Phone must be in 'Internet USB Mode'), hit the Start Button. This will begin the process of restoring your phone back to V4.
After that has completed, which takes a while, you will then need the SuperClick program to root.
- Copy, or verify, the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin file is located in the Exploits folder where you extraced SuperOneClick.
- Run SuperOneClick, Select the exploit pull down (which defaults to 'auto') and select the rageagainstthecage option.
- Press the Root button and let it do its thing.
--- If it fails, this is what I had to do.. Reboot your phone. While it is rebooting, have the SuperOneClick program ready and waiting for you to hit Root again. As soon as the LG Logo becomes animated, hit Root and let it try again (While it is rebooting). This seemed to get the read/write options to work, where failed. This possibly is part of the update that is sticking around to stop you from rooting. So, try a few times. If/when succeeded, move on to the next steps if you wish to have some of the update 'fixes' without the update and a faster custom ROM...
To install a ROM, you need to have CWM installed.
Two methods to doing so seem to exist:
- The method I used was at this link: [RELEASE][6-14-2011] CWM Ported to the Revolution 4G! - xda-developers
Follow that and you should have a backup original image and the new image to get CWM to work to install custom ROMs
- The OTHER method, which is UNTESTED by me, is to use a simple tool called RevoToolKit, which is and APK file that runs directly on your phone. If it works, which others seem to say it does, this would be the most simple form of installing CWM to your phone. Be aware that this app is small, but uses a downloader to install CWM, so you want to make sure you have a good internet connection or data connection...
After that, you will want to follow the directions for CWM (ClockWorkMod) at this link:
- [Rom][8-17-11]Revolt Rom 1.3 - xda-developers
After all that, you should have a rooted Revo AFTER you managed to do the update.
I included links to some instructions in order to shorten up this post and not 'copy' someone else's methods and be sure that you can give the credit to them. The only credit I deserve for this is a complete step-by-step, in one place procedure to get you back or to root your Revo if you did the update.
In time, I am sure that there will be a simpler way to root the OTA Update, but until then, this is working for me and hope that this helps clear up some issues for others that find it tough to get back to root after the OTA Update."
It then has the file links, but I cannot post them since I am a newb.
Thanks again!
I don't see a way for you to change the file from .so to .so.bak without having root as far a rooting you only have to downgrade if your phone its v6 if out is running v4 all you need to do is root it

Is there a way to do this without buying root explorer? I have bloat freezer so is there anything I can just freeze?
Thank You
*EDIT* just bought root explorer for $.99 through Amazon Appstore for those who still need it.
I'm on V4 and rooted back from V6 but it does not let me rename due to it being a read only file? sooo how do I add the bak? opened it with root explorer and it requested superuser privileges and I ok'ed it but when I go to /system/lib/libdme_main.so and try to rename it, it won't let me.

On the top right of root explorer is a "Mount R/W" button. Click that and it should let you make changes to the system.

Is it possible to unroot after using the 1 Click Root? I'm coming from a rooted Droid Eris and I remember the first few people who rooted their Erises had lots of problems and I just wanna make sure we can go back and re-root if a better root process comes along later on...

Yes, but you'd have to do it manually at this point.
You'd delete busybox and su, uninstall superuser.apk, and there may be a symlink you need to undo, but I think the latest one-click cleans that up. I'd have to go back and check.
And any bloat you froze needs to be unfrozen, or bloat removed needs to be restored.
Okay, first version of this tool, be kind and let me know if there are any problems with it.
Also: NO GUARANTEES. If it does something that breaks your phone, I am not liable. Use at your own risk. Etc., etc.

UPDATE 9/1/2011: version 1.03
I'm trying the one touch unroot and keep getting an error about the /sdcard/d3unroot folder missing files.
I extracted all of the APKs from your link to my /sdcard/d3unroot directory, but for some reason one touch unroot will not work.
The root worked great
same error here...
Get that error as well
Same here.
Why does it even need that to un-root @ that point?
I'm getting the same error.
Is it really a one-click method?
I'm a dummy so I think I'm gonna wait for some clarity.
Thanks for doing this, man!
Fully re-written and should un-root and restore /system/app for both v5.5.959 and v5.6.890. Enjoy!
http://www.psouza4.com/Droid3/PetesMotorolaRootTools_v1.03.zip
This program is for Windows only and can:
root your device (most Motorola Gingerbread devices)
unroot your device
restore your /system/app, even if you deleted files
And a bit more, such as un-freezing apps if you un-root just like Titanium Backup can.
So how do I do this. Is it the same as the one click root meaning unzip the file and put my phone into charging mode and let it do its thing

ok ive downloaded the file to my computer.
Keep getting the error for the Restore data not being in the right place. I've extracted the files to the right spot (I think)
is the restore folder supposed to be located in the Root Tools folder, and then all the apk's placed that Restore folder?

Basically, yes.
I'll use your desktop as an example, so if you have:
Desktop\New Folder\Pete's Motorola Root Tools.exe
Then you'll want to extract all the files for the /system/app fix to:
Desktop\New Folder\restore
So that you have:
Desktop\New Folder\restore\AccountAndSyncSettings.apk
Desktop\New Folder\restore\AccountAndSyncSettings.odex
Desktop\New Folder\restore\AdminFeedNotifier.apk
etc.
This assumes you are using my new version 1.03.

You should put this on every forum that you can. I will aslo tell people about it. You did a good thing for the people on this one. I think a lot of new people will whant to root now that they have a way to undo it.
Lol well like 8th try and I got it to work. Sorry for pestering you so much.
This requires Root Access, and a Custom Recovery.
I found this hack over in the Galaxy S II section and I got it working on the Bionic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153196
I downloaded the .zip form that post and extracted it using 7zip in Windows.
I replaced the update-binary with the one from this post:
http://cvpcs.org/blog/2011-09-16/bionic_bootstrap_recovery
Then I used 7-zip to create a new compressed file with the modified contents of the original zip.
I installed Flash version 10.3.186.6 from the market and disabled automatic updates. (If Flash gets updated past that version, you'll have to find an apk for 10.3.186.6 somewhere for this to work.)
I put that on the sd-card and booted into recovery using the bionic-bootstrap application from cvpcs. and flashed the zip from recovery.
Then I installed "Script Manager" from the market, navigated to /system/etc/init.d, selected S98fixflash and checked the "run on boot" and "run as root" checkbox.
Then I rebooted, and set Dolphin HD to use Desktop as the User Agent.
Now I can view free Hulu content on the Bionic without getting the "not supported on this platform" error.
I'm attaching the file I flashed to get this working, to save other people the trouble of repackaging it.
Standard Disclaimer: This worked for me, but I'm not responsible if this causes your phone to become a useless brick, or even if it causes your phone to sleep with your spouse, kill your pets, and/or burn your house down. After all, ymmv.
Thanks to compuw22c and cvpcs.
The titanium backup/restore method is considerably easier than this.

This thread has all the info on the TB way.
These are different things.
Those instructions get the Hulu Plus app to run on the Bionic, which requires you to pay for the Hulu Plus service.
The instructions in the original post are for watching free content available on the regular Hulu Website without having to sign up for Hulu Plus.
So after doing the steps in the original post, you could open up the Dolphin browser on your Bionic and enter the following URL:
http://www.hulu.com/watch/279868/castle-rise
And watch the episode of Castle without being a Hulu Plus member.
Gotcha...though I am already
Paying customer so the point is moot for me... Plus they just release an update for support today.

That's pretty much what the zip flashable from recovery does. Only it also creates a script to copy the patched libflashplayer.so on every boot.
So you could probably make the fix permanent on your Iconia by copying the patched libflashplayer.so to /data/flash (create the directory if it doesn't exist).
Then open a text editor on a computer (NotePad for example on Windows) and create a new document.
Paste in the following:
cp /data/flash/libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
Then save it as hulufix.txt, and move it to the iconia.
Install script manager from the market, open it and navigate to hulufix.txt.
Select run at boot and run as root, and then reboot.
It should copy the file over at boot.
Just make sure not to update flash until some updates the patched libflashplayer.so for your device.

Actually you could just extract the zip attached to the original post, and copy libflashplayer.so to /data/flash/
Then just create the script and use script manager as desribed in my previous post and get this working on the Bionic without bothering with booting a custom recovery.
I haven't personally tested it but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

The update is for Hulu Plus members, this hack allows you to view the regular Hulu website from the browser on your bionic. without joining Hulu Plus.
It lets you view all the free Hulu content available on the PC on your Bionic.
Would that work on the atrix 2.
There may be a much easier way to do all this that does not require root. I JUST bought it and am going to try it out later to see how well it works. but it caught my attention in another post.
It's called Flash Video Browser Originally found on this post.
This will remove the mobile ID sent from your local browser and allow you to view full website including flash website. It is also compatible with the latest version of Flash player (Version 11)
Added bonus is it does not require root access.
Cheers,

The .zip package won't work, but all you really need to do is copy libflashplayer.so located in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/ to your computer. Open it in a hex editor that can understand ascii
If you are using the most recent version of flash, there is a line in the file "AND 11".
Change it to "WIN 11"
if you are using the version referenced in the OP than it is "AND 10" and you should change it to "WIN 10"
copy the edited libflashplayer.so back to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
and make sure the permissions are rwxr-xr-x
The fix will work until you reboot.
You can use a script to copy the file back at boot using script manager or init.d if you are using a rom that suports it.
I'll post a fixed libflashplayer.so for the current version of flash, and a script this afternoon.
Ok here's the libflashplayer.so file and the script this should work on any Android running 2.3
Using something like root explorer create a directory called "flash" in your data directory.
Extract both of the attached files to the new directory.
Make sure the permissions on both files are set to rwxr-xr-x
Use script-manager from the market to run 99fixhulu as root.
Now you should be able to watch hulu videos in the browser as long as the user agent is set to desktop.
If it works use script manager to run the script at boot, or put it in /system/etc/init.d if your ROM supports it.
This is for flash version 11.1.111.5
DO NOT FLASH THIS ZIP from recovery.

I used to be one of you paying hulu customers until I found out that I couldn't watch all of their videos on my Xbox 360. If I'm going to pay and upgrade to plus, I want to be able to watch all of their videos on my Xbox.
The entertainment industry has all these dumb rules and wonder why they have a problem with piracy. They don't need anything like SOPA to protect them if they have policies that make sense. If they want more users paying for hulu plus, they need to find a way to allow their paying customers to use the service how they want, not restricting and limiting access on certain devices.
On Xbox, it would allow me to watch the latest season of certain shows, but if I tried to watch the previous season, it said it wasn't available on this device. I canceled within days of realizing this. I would have kept the service if it wasn't for this issue. Instead, I kept my Netflix streaming account and supplement it with unauthorized sources (their silly limitations pushed me into having to use piracy websites to be able to watch what I want. The problem isn't my willingness to pay for content, but for the service telling me how I can and can't use their service when there is no real reason for it)

Hey guys! Wanted to make 1-stop thread for everyone along with tips to help out some of the new people we're getting here so here it goes. ROM and development stuff can be found in this first post. Tips and Tricks can be found in Post #2. Themes can be found in Post #3.
**BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD ANYTHING, MAKE SURE YOU READ UP ABOUT STUFF HERE AND IN THE ORIGINAL POST FIRST!!!**
ROMs:
We currently only have 1 Gingerbread ROM which is Gingervolt v2.0 and it can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326542
**A note about Gingervolt v2.0. You need to already be on stock Gingerbread before flashing this!!!! If you're on 2.2 Froyo, then either use the phone menu to upgrade by going to Settings>About Phone>Software Update OR you can use the LGPNST method which will be explained later.**
Kernels:
This kernel is included in Gingervolt v2.0 but if you want to stay on stock Gingerbread and use this kernel, you can get it from here:

Upgrading/Downgrading using LGPNST:
To be able to do this, you can find instructions here:

That's about all I can think of right now. If you can think of anything else for the Development Section that I should add, please send me a PM and let me know!
Tips and Tricks
Here are Tips to making all this stuff easier.
1. If you're on 2.2 Froyo, you can NOT flash Gingervolt v2.0. You need to be on stock Gingerbread first.
2. DO NOT do a system wipe through the Settings Menu. Only wipe data through Recovery.
3. Flashing any Theme other than "Cyan Volt" will reset the "Low Battery Warning at 1%" it will start going off again at 15%.
4. If you use or download something that someone else made, CLICK THE "THANKS" BUTTON! It only takes a second!
Honestly I can't think of much more right now so if you have some tips, please let me know!

Thanks for putting this all in one spot. About a week late for me, but something that needs to be made a sticky to eliminate a lot of duplicate questions and frustration for those new to rooting and roms.
Nice write up!

Linux/Mac All in One
I just wanted to mention that there is a linux version of the All in One application.

It also works on Mac OS X. Not sure if you will need to install xcode or not but it worked for me. (I have xcode and a lot of other dev related libs already on this machine)
On a side note, I had to change the location of the sh bin in the script from /data/local/tmp/sh to /system/bin/sh for it to work on my phone.

Also, I only did the CWM installer to update from 4.0.0.2 to 5.0.2.7. I did not use it to root my phone as it was already rooted by hand back in the day. Maybe thats why my sh bin was in a different location?

Would you be able to give me the output of the program when run without modification so I can see where it might have gone wrong? I don't have a computer with OS X on it so I couldn't test it myself.
The sh in /data/local/tmp is actually a temporary sh with root priviledges (put there by the zergrush exploit) so you can do things as root (like install cwm and such) without any permanent change to the system.
The sh in /system/bin is the actual system sh binary and on an unrooted phone changing the script to use it won't work. It probably worked for you just because you happened to be rooted already
It sort of sounds like zergrush failed on your phone for whatever reason.
