Nandrod backup

Wrong forum :)
[Droid Pro General] jh1523:
Thanks to everyone in this thread.

Got my xprt yesterday, rooted it with superoneclick 1.9.5 (took 2 tries, the first one failed for some reason), used titanium backup to get rid of some annoying stuff. Then installed ROM manager and flashed clockworkmod recovery using droid2 settings.

However now in ROM manager when I try to make a ROM backup the phone instantly reboots, and after it's done rebooting I can find no rom image on the sd card.

Otherwise everything works as advertised. :)

(edit) However, installing the Droid 2 bootstrapper allowed me to get into recovery mode, and start the clockworkmod backup from there. Done. Up/down bottons are reversed, and enter works to select.

Motorola XPRT On MetroPCS?

Hey guys what's up. I've been scrutinizing this thread for a while now and I have a question that's been running through my mind.

Seeing as the Motorola XPRT is a CDMA phone, would it be possible to flash the XPRT to other CDMA carries such as MetroPCS with fully functional features? I currently work as an employee at a MetroPCS retail store, so I will check to see if our Houdini software is able to flash over the phone. Although I am aware that if the Houdini software CAN flash over the phone, it won't be fully functional (it will lose MMS and web). Great thread though guys. I really enjoyed looking through it. :)

rooting

You can also use Gingerbread 1.20 to root and its fast too,I have rooted close to 58 for alot of folks and not any problems yet, chainfire built it if i'm not mistaken,it is here on xda or do a google search for gingerbread.apk,it wont let u down,thanks

Happy to find this thread

Hello all. I just got my new Xprt. I am very impressed!!! I Came from a Touch Pro 2. I am a business user,( Palm user from way back in the day, just couldn't do a BlackBerry) but I am not afraid to customize. I see that the first place to start is to root the thing and go from there. Would someone be so kind as to do a sticky post of steps for newbs like me to follow and get up to speed. Thanks in advance.

Nemo Tx,

All credit to XDA developers: [APP]SuperOneClick v1.9.1 (Root, Unroot, Enable Non-Market App) - xda-developers

Disclaimer: Do it at your own risk. In some cases it could void warranties. Check with Motorola/Sprint first.

I have tested this method using my Motorola XPRT with Froyo 2.2.2, System Version 4.1.15.MB612.Sprint.en.US

1. Download the SuperOneClickRoot v1.9.1 package with drivers:

SuperOneClick | shortfuse.org

2. Unzip the file in a new folder location of your preference (i.e My Documents/XPRT)

3. In your phone go to: Settings -> Applications -> Development and select "USB Debugging"

4. Connect the phone to your computer using a USB cable. In your phone make sure you are not mounting the SD. Instead select "Charge Only"

5. Windows will detect a new device and will ask for the drivers, select to "Install from an specific location" and browse your harddrive until you get to the folder you created in step 2. Inside this folder look for another folder name "motorola." It will contain the proper drivers for your device. Then Select OK.

6. Windows should install your device in a few minutes and it should be ready to use.

7. Go to the folder created in step 2 and look for SuperOneClick.exe. Open this application.

8. Click "Root" in the main menu and your done!

9. Enjoy installing root apps!
[Droid Pro General] nutpn:
thats good

Thats a good step above,but to keep from doing all that just email your self from your computer or i can the .apk for gingerbreak and save then go to where you saved it install and run it,dont try to install from email it usually wont,make sure you have checked for 3rd party apps to be loaded in applications,boom you are rooted,then I would advise to go to market and buy the titanium backup pro worth every penny,and later when gingerbread for sprint xprt comes out you can buy the droid 2 bootstrapper by koush,it will help you down the road

Is there a way to remove Blur?
[Droid Pro General] hayzooos:
If Blur is anything like TouchWiz on the Samsung devices (I currently sport an Epic, wifey is still pondering an XPRT which is why I'm here), then.......not really. It's part of the framework, so it makes it tough to remove completely.

Now, you can install a different launcher, like LauncherPro, and that will take out some of the stuff on your homescreens and things like that. However, if it's really in the framework, which I'm assuming it is, then you cannot remove it completely unless you have something like CyanogenMod which is AOSP built from the ground up, basically.

Even my rooted and ROM'd Epic still has elements of TouchWiz in it, some are actually pretty nice. I hated the TW launcher though, which is why I use LauncherPro. I've heard Zeam and GoLauncher are pretty popular ones too, but I stick with LauncherPro.
[Droid Pro General] jeffegg2:
According to the asian woman on cnet.com doing the review, you can use a non-usa sim card without rooting the phone....:cool:
[Droid Pro General] jeffegg2:
I posted the link to the Motorola XPRT USB Drivers on the other forum, but not allowed here.... Just do a search and you should find it on the motorola site.
[Droid Pro General] VegasRooted:
"Remove" Blur...(sort of...at least the home launcher aspect of it)

Here's what I did:

After rooting and whatnot, MAKE SURE that you back up your current rom using ClockworkMod, then install the home launcher from the Market that you prefer (ADW, LauncherPro, Go Launcher, etc....I use LauncherPro myself), make sure that your new launcher is set as the default home launcher, and then use Titanium Backup to remove "Home 2.2.2" from the system apps. After this, reboot the phone to recovery, clear the Cache and Dalvik Cache, and then reboot again.

(I actually went a step further and used the paid version of Titanium Backup to convert LauncherPro to a system app prior to removing Home 2.2.2 and clearing the caches, but this shouldn't be necessary to achieve what you want...I just like to convert any apps that I consider "permanent" installs on my phone to system apps)

By using this method, the stock (Blur) home launcher will then be gone, so it won't be running in the background along with your new home launcher!

I have been using LauncherPro as the sole home launcher on the phone for two weeks now, testing all features (dialer, contacts, sms, mms, camera, etc.) and there have been ZERO issues so far! Battery consumption has not been affected at all either; in fact, it almost seems to last even longer now, with the stock home launcher gone. (Hard to be sure without running comparison tests)

Anyways, enjoy!

Cheers!

Best Protective Case for XPRT (So far...)

Since there are no cases specifically for the XPRT at this time (Otterbox, etc...) I tried 3 different cases designed for the Droid Pro with varying results...(Many cases are listed as being made for the XPRT, but they are all really just Droid Pro cases that kinda fit the XPRT too) Anyways, I tried one from an eBay vendor, it was bad because it had an upper portion that covered the light sensor and LED notification; then I went to the Verizon store and bought the $10 one for the Droid Pro and it was much better, but because of the extra thickness of the XPRT, the phone slips out of it a bit...

But the last one I bought is the best by far, I got it from Amazon. Go to Amazon and search for "Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Case for Motorola Droid Pro XT610" It is only $10 and it fits VERY good! The only thing you will have to do is use a razor blade and SLIGHTLY widen the microphone hole on the bottom of the case to line it up better with the microphone hole on the XPRT. (Very easy to do, and you can't even notice it after you do it)

Anyways, I think you will be quite happy with this case, I am! (At least until Otterbox HOPEFULLY releases a case for the XPRT!)

Cheers! :)

2.3.5 root

Here are several simple steps to keep root while updating to 2.3.5:

1. The phone should be on clear stock 2.2.2

2. Root should be obtained by using SuperOneClick

3. Install 'OTA RootKeeper' from Google Play. Push in installed application the button 'Protect Root'

4. Install the update in stock recovery

5. Run 'OTA RootKeeper' once more and push 'Restore Root'

Here you are - 2.3.5 with root.

P.S. Please, be informed, it worked for me but I won't be responsible for your issues.
[Droid Pro General] WaxPaper:
Quick question... I know that since I already updated my XPRT to 2.3.5 via the leak, there's currently no way to gain root access or restore the device to 2.2 via a hard reset (restore).

But would I be able to get back to 2.2 if I installed the original, stock ROM with one of those ROM managers or something? Does anyone know if the default Sprint XPRT ROM even exists in the wild? I don't know a lot about this OS yet, but from what I understand so far this would be the only way for me to get back to 2.2 so that I can "lock in" root access before upgrading to 2.3.5, as mentioned in the post above and other methods posted earlier...

Since it can't be too much longer before the official Gingerbread update gets deployed by Sprint, I'd normally say all this wouldn't be worth the trouble, and that I might as well go without root access for a few more weeks... But I still haven't found an answer regarding whether or not

those of use who installed 2.3.5 via the leak will be "passed over" by the OTA Sprint update

, unless the official version will actually have a different ID or update signature, which would prompt the network to grab it. Anyone know?

Or at the end of the day, is my ONLY option to swap the phone for a new one? (My gut tells me there must be other options here, considering this is such a software-related issue.) Thanks!
[Droid Pro General] esoh:
My experience has shown that installing the leak means that you (and me) probably won't get an OTA to the "official" version. With that said, there is a strong likelihood that the update.zip file will appear as a download that we can download, and install via recovery. Again, no guarantees on that, but I'm fairly certain that it will be the case.

Over at Android Central there is a version of the original 2.2 that is themed so I would assume that it wouldn't be hard to convert to stock, but I have also not heard of a single example of a successful downgrade from the GB leak to Froyo. I'm not saying that it can't be done, I haven't heard anyone doing it.

Finally, I think that you are too optimistic in an official Sprint release. I have been waiting for a long time now and I am at the point where I've given up. I have installed the leak and while it's not perfect, it's good enough for me at the moment.
[Droid Pro General] WaxPaper:
The only reason I think the update might be here in a few weeks is because I thought I remember reading that a few beta testers said it should be out within a month or two, and that was about a month or two ago... But yeah, who knows? I'm coming from a Pre, so I know all about waiting... ;)

I'll have to look for that ROM at Android Central... I just can't use this device like I want to without root access. In hindsight, I probably shoulda waited a few weeks before installing the update. :(

Thanks though...

Has anyone tried flashing the Boost XPRT 2.3.5 SBF on the Sprint Version ??

I am foolish and got the same Bootloader error.

Downloading the Boost XPRT 2.3.5 SBF
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
Can you upload that SBF for us? ._.

Sure I would upload but let download finish first :P

Will give it a try.

Got it today morning and its a brick now. Lets how boost SBF works for Sprint. I want GSM not CDMA
[Droid Pro General] samgr:
you have to rename the file from .sbf.enc to plain .sbf
[Droid Pro General] kapilthio:
That does not seem to work at least for the Sprint XPRT.

There is a different tool to flash such SBF.
[Droid Pro General] samgr:
so I tried "RSDConnected_PROD_1.1" but it gave me recovery fail
[Droid Pro General] drkcobra:
NO! Do NOT do this!!!!!! It will definitely not work.

What you do is open the .enc file in WinHex go to address 0x000DE6. Highlight DE6 thru E05 and delete these 32 bytes. Now save the resulting file as a .sbf and flash it with RSD Lite.
[Droid Pro General] cutung:
Thanks, drkcobra !

I'm sorry, I install WinHex and I don't see 0x000DE6 thru E05...Can you edit the file *.SBF.ENC and upload it ?

Waiting for your news. Thank you very much !
[Droid Pro General] drkcobra:
These are the addresses in hex.

If you want to PM me a link to the .enc file I can edit it if you don't understand how to use a hex editor.

Does this Boost SBF work on Sprint XPRT ??

---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------

I can confirm that "BOOST XPRT SBF works on Sprint XPRT".

My phone was bricked due to boot-loader error. But this SBF helped me to recover my phone back.

:) very happy
[Droid Pro General] samgr:
sprint with sbf from boost

after it loads the activation screen you hold the power button 3 seconds to turn on airplane mode to bypass activation if it doesn't work reboot :laugh:
[Droid Pro General] WaxPaper:
Okay, so wait.... Just to clarify, this Boost Mobile SBF that was just uploaded will work for the Sprint XPRT, in order to restore (or downgrade) back to 2.2? If so, does it have to be "modded" with a Hex Editor? Is that what you guys are referring to a few posts back?

I'm just trying to confirm what exactly needs to be done to get the Sprint XPRT back to the default 2.2 here... If someone could reply that would be great. Thanks!

EDIT: Nevermind, I got my conversation threads confused and didn't notice that this SBF is the Boost version of the 2.3 GB ROM, not the 2.2 Froyo. Sorry about that. But if anyone knows the location of a working Sprint XPRT 2.2 ROM (basically the stock, default one), please post it or link to it here. Cheers.
[Droid Pro General] kapilthio:
Boost SBF we are talking about here is Gingerbread. Its for people wanting to upgrade to GB or have a bricked phone while they were trying to downgrade from GB to Froyo using SBF.

Do not try to downgrade to Froyo from GB or you will have a nice looking paper weight in your hand.

:p
[Droid Pro General] WaxPaper:
Which method of downgrading is causing the bricking, do you know? Right now what I'm doing is looking for the Sprint factory default ROM... Is that what's bricking people?

I suppose the only other option would be to take the phone into a Sprint store and have one of their techs restore it via flashing or something. My buddy works for them and he said they should be able to do it, although he isn't intimately familiar with this particular model and everything...

[Droid Pro General] liudongmiao:
i didnt test, however, it should works.

when set ro.sys.atvc_allow_all_adb=1 in /data/local.prop, adb shell will gain root access after the reboot.

normally, there is no way to do this, however, sbf_flash can help me to do it.

you can use sbf_flash to extract the sbf, and modify the userdata partitation.

referer the sbf_flash: http://blog.opticaldelusion.org/search/label/sbf_flash

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

you can just use sbf_flash -x /path/to/sbf to extract the userdata.img, then mount it, write local.prop.

i think it should work.
[Droid Pro General] tzuba12:
Ah thanks man! I'm gonna try this! This won't brick my phone, will it?
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
Let us know the results. And even if it bricks you can sbf it back to life. I'll even point you in the direction if you need it man.
[Droid Pro General] tzuba12:
Ok I will try it later tonight when I get a chance.
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
Honestly I think I might go ahead and do it myself now.
[Droid Pro General] tzuba12:
Ah well let us know if you succeed!
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
Ok. So I just got up and I'm going to tell you how i rooted my Motorola XPRT 2.3.5 Stock.

The original post from where i followed the method can be found here

r o o t z w i k i . c o m /topic/29930-new-root-method-for-stock-234-621622-found-droid2-r2d2

(SORRY I CANNOT POST ANY LINKS YET)

I used the "Linux(Long way)" Method

Things needed:

ADB

sbf_flash

preinstall.img from the above mentioned site

Original XPRT 2.3.5 Stock Rom

You can get this from the previous posts by surfturtle.

1. Enable USB Debugging, connect phone, run this adb command

./adb shell ln -s /data/local.prop /data/preinstall_md5/magic.md5

2. reboot the phone into flash mode.

3. Unpack the files to the same folder (Rename the file "1FF-p3_kronos_cdma_kronos-user-2.3.5-4.5.1-KNS-29-BST-15-18-release-keys-signed-Boost-US.sbf" to "stock.sbf" ) and run the command.

./sbf_flash -r --preinstall preinstall.img stock.sbf

4. Wait for phone to boot after flashing, then reboot again one final time.

5. Run the command

adb shell

you should '#' instead of '$'

(If you do not get # then reboot and try again. check the content of the file local.prop to see if it is as given below

ro.sys.atvc_allow_netmon_usb=0

ro.sys.atvc_allow_netmon_ih=0

ro.sys.atvc_allow_res_core=0

ro.sys.atvc_allow_res_panic=0

ro.sys.atvc_allow_all_adb=1

ro.sys.atvc_allow_all_core=0

ro.sys.atvc_allow_efem=0

ro.sys.atvc_allow_bp_log=0

ro.sys.atvc_allow_ap_mot_log=0

ro.sys.atvc_allow_gki_log=0

If not, try again from step 1.)

6. if you get # the run the following commands

./adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system

./adb push su /system/bin/su

./adb shell "chmod 6755 /system/bin/su"

./adb shell "ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su"

./adb push busybox /system/xbin/busybox

./adb shell "chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox"

./adb shell "/system/xbin/busybox --install /system/xbin"

./adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk

./adb shell mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/system /system

(Note: su and Superuser should be the latest version or it might give an error afterwards).

7. Check if everything is ok by running the su command.

8.Reboot

9.Done.

So Finally you should get root.

I had to flash around 5 times till i finally got the root.

...But for some reason APNs I add are not being saved and hence not able to connect either 2g/3g internet :( . I reflashed multiple times....Even factory reset (...Thank god...this ROM is fit..and not stuck in activation loop!)...Even tried APN managing apps...But no luck....so right it is lying there only for some games and music...:mad:

I tried adb logcat...while adding APN or opening browser...I noticed "GSMRadiodown Error" code in the log.

Just to confirm, I hope you are trying to switch to Airplane ASAP(keep pressing the power button) since when the boots. Then once the Home screen shows...you can switch the Mobile network mode to GSM from 'Boost only'.

After unlock bootloader --> flash 2.2.2 --> Root by using SuperOneClick --> install "OTA RootKeeper" --> Update.zip --> 2.3.5 Rooted ?

Quick question for those who have successfully rooted their XPRT under 2.3.5 GB using the "long Linux" method described in the last couple pages of posts... Is this only for Boost users on GSM only, or does it work on Sprint CMDA as well?

Oh, and one more thing... Is the user having access to Linux (or a Linux VM) the main requisite that's stopping this method from becoming "mainstream" yet?

Thanks!
