Need Help guys. No Media Center after Root

Hello. I rooted my Atrix and have had no problems. I deleted most of the bloatware. I also put the settings in for the apn and access wifi hotspot via this forum.
Just a couple minutes ago, I plugged in the HDMI cable to show my mother some stuff on the phone and how the Media Center is but it wouldnt come up. It came up before I did all the root. But now, when plugged in it would pop up on my screen asking what to select and then it would go away. Can someone help me on what possibly might have happened? I would really appreciate this. Thank you so much.
Nick

sounds like you deleted something when you were removing the bloatware.
as advised in other threads, don't remove it, freeze it with titamium backup.
do a factory reset and pray it comes back.

It wont come back after a factory reset so....what you have to do is get the retail motoblur dump file and push the apks to the phone using ADB. Remember to push them to the sytem not /data.
Thank desigegears for telling me this.

Yes I did a factory reset and it didnt come back. I just read the thread that talked about that uptop after I did this. I feel so bad. I screwed up. How do I get the Retail Motoblur dump file? And pushing the APKs to the phone using ADB. I havent done this in a while. Please any help I would really appreciate it.

One of the devs posted it on the forum, not sure where. MAybe on page two? just scroll down. To push them to adb, designgears posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966405 which shows how to push files. Just push the mediacenter one.

Thank you for the info. Im downloading a file where the dump said Blur_Version.4.1.26.MB860.ATT.en.US.tar.gz is that correct? It was in this forum. But the fileformat I dont know what to open that up with. Its like 145MB. I had to PM Designgears because I really dont know how to do this. I would just need the 1 file? I do have the phone rooted with Root Explorer. Anyway I can get the file on the phone and cut and paste it in the right path?

Ok that was the right file. I do have the mediacenter.apk file now. Anyway I can put this on there with the phone rooted? I have root Explorer and can paste that apk in there.

Use 7 zip to open the file. Got to the app folder and find the one named media center. Push that file or paste it into /system

If you have root try to overwrite the app by pushing it into system/app. Maybe it will work.

I have my phone rooted, and I tried what you say with astro/es/root explorer
but I just can't copy anything in /system/app/ because it's read-only.
Any ideas ?

yes, I do. Mount R/W in the root explorer (upper right corner). By default read only is set.

hmmm, strange. Anyway. I just overwrote it by a normal install of the .apk. Nothin to push. And it works great.

WTF is going on :/
I navigate to /system with root explorer tap on mount R/W and nothing happens

You have to paste it after you pressed R/W..
Pressing the R/W button only means you can now put something in that folder..

Been using it since the morning, works great so far.. not too sure about the looks though. Too grey and too much like WP7

Have you tried deleting the old market paste the new then restart you phone
I just click on it installed and everything was fine, dunno what has happened there,
or you could open up the zip of the rom you are using remove the vending and replace it with the new one and reflash it to your your phone, without wiping and that might work
or try ADB

All I did was install it over the original some people said its got Chinese work.g on it but mine seems fine

Cap wont download anything

I formatted my internal and external sdcards today by mistake, now my download folders are gone, I was tolded this is normal since formatted deletes all data on card which is why my download folder is gone. I've tired downloading rom and modded recovery all day but I cant find them in root exploror anywheres, than I Google a random picuture and tried to save the picture but the download was uncuccessful. Can I fix this?

It sounds like this should be fixable, but could you please provide more information on your current setup (Android version, if it's a custom ROM, etc).
As far as getting ROMs and CWM to your phone, you may want to try downloading the roms/modded recovery on a PC (if one is available), then move them over to your phone. If everything was formatted and you're having trouble using root explorer, it might just be easier to do it that way.

Before today my phone was fine, it displayed downloads that I've done etc. I was trying to install a downloaded rom thru cwm but it didn't display "install from sdcard" with in cwm. I than clicked format sdcard for some dumb reason and It put me in my current state.

I see that you're on your phone now, which answers the question of whether or not you can boot, so that's good. If you've formatted your Internal SD card (which it sounds like you did - did it get rid of all your files on the phone?), you could probably just do a Titanium backup of what you still have and reinstall your ROM (assuming you're on a custom rom). That would likely correct the issue.

Assuming that it wasn't deleted in the format, I'd recommend reflashing whatever rom you're on and restoring your apps from Tibu.

the tibu backup is no more it would have been deleted when he formatted. look in your browsers settings for the default download directory. or make a folder on your sdcard called downloads and set it to there as default....

Yep, my back up is gone. I went to the download directory and all downloads in there say download unsuccessful, I than went to sdcard in root exploror and created a folder named download. I tried saving a few Google pics and they still come up download unsuccessful, I even tried downloading a file from xda and its not in my new download folder. I didn't set it as default since I don't know how to set it, I didn't see any options. Getting very frustrated.

That appeared to work, I saved a random picture and it was saved in my new download folder. But when I try and download the modded e3 signature file (which is what I've been trying to do) I see a quick download meter start and finish, after its done I can select close or open, if I click open I'm brought to rom manager with an install prompt were I can select or de-select a few things, than I'm put into recovery but it dkesnt show any place to install from sdcard. When I had to do this on my infuse once I downloaded the modded recovery it was listed in my downloads, id extract, copy and paste over original recovery but I don't see it anywhere in my captivates files.

Hmm It should be in the download directory...
You could always dl the recovery file to your pc and copy it over to the phone.

If the phone isn't showing up in any way when you hook it up to the computer (i.e. you can't select to mount the phone from the notification drop-down), that would be your option.

Before I say more - do you currently have the android default recovery or some version of CWM installed on your phone?

You're pasting in the modded 3e recovery I assume, that's in a place usually mounted read only. Using root explorer, there is a little button on the top right that says mount r/w press that THEN paste in.

I installed a different texting app and still no pics.

Well after many wipes/formats and every thing else I finally have everything working.
I can verify that multiple cache wipes, dalvik wipes and system formats do the job.
I'm not sure exactly how many I done but it was a lot.
I just sit there and wiped, formatted, wipe, format, wipe, format so on and so on and it finally took, I even installed 3 times over and over each other.
The ROM works great.
All the phones might have the same parts and look the same, but for some reason they don't act the same.

Long story short I'm trying to re edit my sound file,build and host as well as delete some bloat back to the way I had things, and like I stated my phone doesn't allow for these edits to go through and instead hangs and then reboots.

Have you tried repairing permissions?
You could also mount your phone and edit the files by pulling them with adb and then pushing them back after editing. Reboot into recovery and repair.
