Hi I know this has been brought up before. Has anyone found a way to successfully root the Droid X if you are running the official OTA of Gingerbread? I really don't want to SBF back as I don't have a way to backup my application data without root currently.

That is all fine and dandy. My fear is that it has been given up being there is the archaic method of rolling back then rooting and moving forward. That thread is over a month old. It has never taken that long to root a device.
[Droid X General] chbennett:
Verizon/moto did a good job fixing the exploits we use to root. I wouldn't count on a method being found to root without moving back to froyo first.
[Droid X General] mrkite38:
I keep my stickies up to date ;).

You have to keep in mind that there is constantly diminishing interest on this series of moto phones as newer ones come to market. We may never get root for the gb ota. On the other hand, who cares? We now have CyanogenMod and you can still get to a rooted 'stock' gingerbread. I'd say things are looking better than ever.

first rule of xda.... thou shall not ota.

second rule of xda.... root immediately.

my dx came with ota already on it. i sbfd the minute i got it. now on cm7 nightlies couldnt be happier
[Droid X General] Phatdawg:
The issue for a lot of us who use phones in general is that we have enterprise solutions on our phones which are a ***** to reset once you install new Roms and such.

So the idea here is to get a stable and fairly reliable build (probably not what cm7 is now) and it be rooted.

I OTA'ed to gb, but ended up sbfing back to froyo and had to redo all the stuff with my IT department, a real pain. And since the keys are like rsd keys, if I use titanium backup, it doesn't work. Even anandroid's won't work.

So...in regards to changing Rom's, going backwards, wiping the phone etc, not a good option.

Anyhow, I'm back on froyo for the tethering and what not. I might move to cm7 one day, who knows.
[Droid X General] socalracer:
your work should be providing that for you. its cost of business. i know it sucks i guess its different for me cuz i am the it dept. my boss ended up buying me an iphone which ive learned to hate more.
[Droid X General] Phatdawg:
Nothing pays for the inconvenience of having to re-install and sync enterprise solutions onto your phone.

My work pays for my phone; however, I'm allowed to do whatever I want with it as long as the enterprise stuff works without any loss of security.

The issue is that installing another rom or backstepping to prior releases causes me to have to redo all those programs and it's a serious hassle.

So did you ever figure out the mms settings? I've seen some guy in New Jersey doing full flashes on HTC Incredibles on Boost Mobile. I tried to contact him, but it seems like he is somewhat of a prick. I've been racking my brains trying to get the mms working. So far my Dinc has talk, text, internet and Sprint TV working.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eljean:
I have not yet. How did you get Sprint TV running on the Incredible though?

And i think the guide to flash a HTC Hero to alltel i believe might help... changing the APN username adress and whatnot with APN Manager apk, havent gotten around it though been too busy will try tomorrow.

Still no mms on the HTC Droid Incredible on Boost

Just wonder if anyone has figured out the mms settings for the HTC Droid Incredible on Boost Mobile. I paid some guy on Ebay and he emailed me back "here sorry all you do is this:

##3282#

change mms "hxxp;//mm . myboostmobile . com

reboot your phone and test the pics"

I was like WTF ##3282# does not even work on the Incredible, but I already knew the mmsc url. So has anyone figured this little speed bump? I have talk, text, internet & sprint TV working now I just need mms working.

I can buy one from ebay with clean esn and use it on Boost mobile?

thank you
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eljean:
idk

to be honest with you, I am not entirely sure, theoretically it should be possible but at this moment I do not know since it is a new phone with new software etc etc. And I heard HTC is starting to lock their esn locations with some type of encryption so u cant read it.

Google around u might be able to and if u find someone who says and has backup that is possible come back to this guide and follow it :).

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimpfury:
I'm about to give up on being able to send MMS, everything else on my Incredible works fine, so before I give up I was hoping someone could help here.

So I've replaced the ua strings with the sprint ones in the default.xml file from the "MMS Fix" post. However, these obviously get deleted after doing a data/cache wipe so I overwrite the newly created file with the modified one, but still nothing.

eljean suggested to change the xml within the rom itself, where/how would this be done? I should mention that I run/flash skyraider 3.5. I've gone as far as connecting via usb in recovery and coping over the default.xml to the proper non existing folder, but that just gets overwritten when the rom fully loads on boot.

I've played with the apn's before I did a full wipe and I got a couple of MMS to go through right on boot and then never again. I'm currently using the apn backup file eljean posted.

I guess I just need to know if what I'm doing is correct:

Full data/cache wipe

flash Skyraider

restart

copy modified default.xml into proper system folder

apn backup & restore:

delete apns

restore with apns-20101209162641.xml

is skyraider messing everything up? should I go stock (ugh) or is there a different rom that should work--or even the newer version of skyraider?

thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eljean:
First of all, you're not doing it right. You need to either integrate the deafult.xml file into the rom itself using (Winrar) and then flash the rom, or copy the modified default.xml folder into the designated system folder and THEN do a full Wipe.

so its

1. Copy default.xml into the system folder

2. Perform a date Wipe on your phone

3. Fix the APN's using APN Backup and Restore

I currently use Nil's Business Sense 3.5 and I did everything you just did and my MMS work perfectly fine
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimpfury:
Thanks, got it!

I feel like a fool, I tried searching for the default.xml in the SkyRaider directory before posting and it didn't show up for some reason, but I found it now and just stuck the modified file in there. When I tried to put it in the directory before wiping & flashing it just got overwritten.

Thanks eljean for this thread all your continued support!

Just in case anyone else has this issue:

I don't think I had problems on the Inc I flashed to boost, but I had problems with the market, and the google login in general, getting connection failed and server error, when I flashed an EVO, and and EVO 3D. I figured out from a CM6 thread, that on 2.1 and higher, the market now checks for your phone's MEID. The directions say you don't have to do ESN *AND* MEID, so I flashed all 3 phones with JUST the ESN. If you don't flash the donor's MEID, it isn't going to let you get onto the market. This is absolutely fine if you never flash a new rom after flashing. Just wanted to let people know!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eljean:
U flash the MEID and the ESN should be recognized automatically. There is something bad with the rom you were using not the flashing method

Phone does not answer/read error at start address: 0363:0000

Sorry for bringing a dead thread back to life, but I'm trying to do this for my brother. The donor phone is a Motorola WX430, if that helps any. I've installed everything that needs to be installed, connected to the COM port for the donor phone (WX430), read the phone information, went under memory/Eeprom and changed the start address to 0363:0000 like you said, left the size at 65536 bytes, clicked read, clicked save, and I get a message saying "Error: phone does not answer" and then "Read error at start address: 0363:0000". I don't know what I did wrong, if anything. Any help? Please? I really want to do this for my brother.

There's an easier way for Evo 4g, Evo Shift, Evo 3D, HTC Incredible. Go into QPST "EFS Explorer" Add directory to Root "Open Sesame Door", reboot phone. Re-connect to "EFS Explorer" Nvm folder will now be accessible,remove items 0 and 1943 from NVM folder, use winhex to create new files 0 and 1943 with 0 being your ESN reversed and 1943 being your MEID reversed. your MEID has been repaired sucessfully without QXDM.

The only thing I can see that is different for me from others is that when I write to phone in QPST, it doesn't restart my phone automatically. I have to manually shut my phone off and on.

Make sure the Incredible has the same prl as the donor phone. That could be the issue. If u running a prl from verizon or a prl without evdo will not give u 3g.

U can't do that because they are from. Two different companies. And u can't edit epst from the incredible u need to use Service Programming.

Also to go into epst in the incredible u dial ##778#.

The guide is different from the Evo I need to carefully follow every step and u will get it.

Make sure u flash the same prl as the donor phone! I'm going to have to add that step to the guide since people seem to have problems with it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eljean:
Extra info

Also make sure you have written the Correct AAA shared, if you have done Evo's before then you must know how to do it. The steps arent very different, only difference is you have to make the Active User for the HTC Incredible #1, and make sure the PRL is the same as the Donor Phone, check back and re-try all the steps I added some extra info.

Get the PRL from your Rant, it needs to be from your rant.

If that does not fix it then you have either the MDN or MSID wrong, or you just did not write the correct ESN.
