Wireless Tether for Root v3.1 beta 2

Version 3.1 beta 2 of wireless tether can be downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ - and by selecting droid X as the phone model, doesn't seem to have any of the issues of the 2.0.7 version on the XPRT. My phone is on battery, asleep (screen off) right now, as I post this while tethered to it.

Hope that helps someone! Barnacle is great (I even donated), but infrastructure mode is nice sometimes.

<edit> nope, still buggy. Maybe a bit less buggy, but the connection does eventually get weird.
[Droid Pro General] miakotamatsue:
Barnacle vs. Wireless Tether

I tried Barnacle at first to tether with my HTC Flyer, but it did not work. I tried different configurations as suggested by their website and some people online, but I still couldn't get my HTC Flyer to connect. Both were paired, but they did not connect. I believe it's something has to do with the HTC Flyer and their BT profile.

So I installed Wireless Tether and it worked flawless, both wi-fi and BT mode.

VegasRooted, thanks for the detailed instruction. That was very helpful. I just root my phone so I can install Barnacle/Wireless Tether.

I'm beginning to love this phone a lot because it's does everything I need. It's an international phone which means I can plug a SIM card when I travel in Asia without having to unlock the phone (it's unlock by default by SPRINT). Now, I can wireless tether so I can check emails, use GPS, etc. on my HTC Flyer and laptop. Before, I had to get a separate phone (unlock GSM), a SIM card for the phone, and then a USB air card for Internet connection for my laptop. Now, my phone does everything with only a new local SIM card. And the battery on the XPRT is quite good.

I also installed ADW Launcher and Beautiful Widgets and customized this generic Android into something outstanding.

By the way, I think Barnacle only works on some phones and connecting devices. Same for Wireless Tether. Now that I have both, I'm sure that they will cover most devices.

Where did you find that?? That file is they key to my happiness in life. OK maybe a small exaggeration. Or I need psychological help. Anyway thanks, wonder where the leaked files come from in the first place.
[Droid Pro General] drkcobra:
I do have level 2 Motorola access which gives me the spreadsheets with all current releases and filenames, unfortunately, it requires level 3 or 4 to actually get the files. This is exactly how they get leaked, from a source usually one or two removed that has this access.
[Droid Pro General] mikronex:
I tried both versions, and this is the list from the your second ver.. The first ver. from the third step is about the same as the second. Here you can see what I meant when I get the message "permission denied".

Thank You for trying!
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
I suppose mine is a bit different from everyone elses :( I did try a lot of brute force style rooting a long time ago. Might have some effect. I'm not the most experienced programmer or anything of that sort but I try to help everyone. I just tried basing these off the modifications I made to mine to make it work. I'll keep trying if you would like man.

You probably don't have write permissions
[Droid Pro General] mikronex:
Probably yes, but how to change it?
[Droid Pro General] tzuba12:
Yeah I figured that out, but how do we get write permissions?
[Droid Pro General] BeePlus:
until broken (go around) blocked Motorola boot, we did not get
[Droid Pro General] tzuba12:
Why is it some people have write permissions and some don't?
[Droid Pro General] BeePlus:
Well it is they need to ask what firmware and the sequence in which they are sewn to this root. what updates are set, etc.

I fail to get Tode root this way. checked on 2 XPRT
[Droid Pro General] Sequence2311:
So we're basically screwed until someone unlocks the bootloader ?

Would this even be possible for the current users trying to create a way to root the XPRT ?
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
Its a matter of gaining write permissions. Unless its a factory unlocked device you need to have a way (normally an exploit) to gain those permissions. So yes. If there is no working exploit. There must be an unlocked bootloader.
[Droid Pro General] djrbliss:
I sent three of you emails saying that you could contact me via email and I'd fix your issues, but I received no response. Don't you think it would be easier to ask the person who actually knows how the exploit works, rather than just stabbing in the dark? :p

Email me at dan (dot) j (dot) rosenberg (at) gmail (dot) com, and I'll see if I can fix the problems you're having.
[Droid Pro General] tzuba12:
Oops, sorry man, I never realized you sent an email lol. I just replied to you.
[Droid Pro General] djrbliss:
New version of the exploit

I fixed the issues some of you guys were having. The new exploit can be found at the same location:

Hopefully this resolves the problem. Same URL:

[Droid Pro General] esoh:
Agreed, although my impression is that Dan is doing this as a one time gesture to help some folks out (my opinion, I don't speak for the dev). That doesn't lessen his contribution, however, since I appreciate it highly. Since we probably won't get ICS, JB, or anything else from Moto/Sprint for this device, it's certainly a nice way to go out.

In case you missed the initial post, consider donating if you have been helped by Dan (again, not speaking on behalf of the dev).

How did you get it to finally work? I'm having the same problem you had, I tried Exploit v4 and it still has the same problem. I have 2 Xprt sitting here and it won't root either one of them. I've double checked everything, tried different computers, factory reset the phone, and still nothing.

Now only if we could get someone to port cyanogenmod to this thing. Its depressing that this phone has absolutely no rom support.
[Droid Pro General] Sequence2311:
Thank you very much !!

But unfortunately I can't install it, see if you delete blur.apk, nearly every system app won't work. For example: Dialer, Messages, Installer.

I'll wait for a recovery for our phone but I doubt we'd see this or even a cyanogenmod port.

In the mean time I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Rush since I really need a cell phone. Sucks that now that we have root, I screwed up my phone :(
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
Droid 2 bootstrapper works on this phone. And I totally agree with the cyanogen thing. I seriously believe this phone deserves 4.0 at the LEAST. I had my original droid incredible running it perfectly. So should this one.
[Droid Pro General] esoh:
So I rooted the leaked version of 2.3.5 and installed the D2 bootstrapper. When I do that, it installs v2.5.0.8 of CWM. Then I install Rom Manager and update the CWM to 5.0.2.0 version of CWM (Droid 2 version (not global, right?)). After I do this, I can't boot into CWM using any of the three methods (Droid2 BS reboot into recovery, Cold boot long-pressing X and Power, or reboot into recovery directly from ROM manager). Any of these methods leads to the Red Moto M logo and it doesn't enter recovery, or boot into phone. It just hangs.

Thoughts anyone?

Did you happen to make a list of apps you froze/deleted before it bricked? I know that we have a list from early in this thread off of Froyo, but perhaps it should be updated with GB ROM apps (not sure if they would be the same or not).
[Droid Pro General] Sequence2311:
But that's an APK file right ? I can't install that. I'm hoping for a clockword mod recovery here.

No, there was a thread I used to see which apps to remove. Unfortunetely it stated that blur.apk was safe to remove but obviously it wasn't if it basically removed all functionality from my phone. I can still turn it on but I can't install anything or use basic phone features.

The following can be removed:

Google Apps such as - Play Videos, Play Books, Play Music

All "Authentication" apps from Motorola

Social Messaging 2.2.2

Social Messaging Service 2.2.2

Magic Smoke Wallpapers 2.2.2

MediaShare 1.0.0

Task Manager 10.0

TeleNav GPS Navigator 6.2.62.01435

Voice Search 2.0.2

Well I removed plenty more but I can't seem to find the website that listed all the possible apps to remove.

Also some apps will "Force Close" constantly, like DLNA, you will need to reboot, but no worries.

You can use Root Uninstaller from the Play Store to uninstall sys apps.

Hey Sequence. Try installing the bootstrapped with adb.

SU is back

Many thanks Dan. I kept checking in and watching the progress. Just tried it today on my XPRT 2.3.5 OTA and it worked first run. Donation sent, hopefully others do as well.

Now to start freezing apps and then uninstalling.

This might sound like a dum question. Who makes a decent phone that has an unlocked bootloader?

Then the impossible question, with a real keyboard?

NAND locked

I have run Dan's root and it completed successfully. No errors that I remember. I have SuperUser, busybox and a handful of other apps that require root. I have been try to change my font. I have tried using 2 Root apps I have used before on 2.2.2 neither one will work. One gives the following error on start up.

"!System write required

Write access for the system partition was not established on your device and therefore FontChanger will have to be closed. Please make sure your device has NAND unlocked befor you try again."

Font changer is in the SuperUser log as being Allowed SU permisions.

Any help or suggestions for unlocking NAND would be great. Have searched XDA for device specific, but nothing helpful. There are pages and pages if you search NAND unlock, but it is more than a little confusing where to start.

Worked like a charm

Thanks so much for this, was trying to get my friend's phone rooted after he updated to 2.3.5 and I about lost hope until I found this thread!

I did have one odd thing happen, though. The first time I ran it, despite having only his phone connected to my machine, it said it found multiple devices. I think it might have been because of windows-trying-to-install-random-drivers-at-the-time stuff, because the second time I ran it worked perfectly. Just thought if anyone else had the same problem they might want to know to just unplug, reconnect and try again.

How to push Sprint bp.img over Boost 2.3

Hi Rongsang,

I tried this but no luck. got the bootloader error and after flashing boost 2.3, its back to square one. Can you please explain in detail how to make the update.zip with just the bp.img. Certainly its not just plain zipping :confused:

I did a plain zip of 'just' the bp.img and placed it in the sd card. Later I booted to recovery mode and tried 'install update.zip' which says invalid signature! May be some meta data is also required.

The thing is that I installed firmafere Frome boost to Sprint. and now I have a constant reboot. And now I can not return back.
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
From what i have read around the forums, the problem you're facing is not due to the baseband but due to a problem in the OS. Theres similar problem with the other motorola phones like the Defy. I have been trying to find a solution and still no result. Try changing your SIM card with newer generation SIM cards. The only other solution I can see now is a custom ROM or a new SBF file.
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
I was talking about Titanium Backup. I will see if I can find someone local that has done this root for your device and service and see if I can get some pointers.

I have tried other SIM. No reboot, but how long is registered on the network.

Most real is wait for a new SBF
