Where can I get a good tutorial on LINUX for mobiles and rom creating. I am a noob so to speak but I have rooted several phones. Even bricked my old fascinate and resurected it from the dead LOL. I "want to get in the game" and help. But would love to learn how.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pirateghost:
if you know how to use ADB proficiently, you are 1/4 of the way there.

know how to use ADB

learn how to use APKtool and decompile/compile apks/jars

understand how the structure of a rom works and how to read/modify the updater-script (installer)

know how to read a logcat

as a bonus, learn how to edit smali and what smali/baksmali is.
[Motorola Atrix 2] XAviierG:
This is the hardest. I'm still learning myself. Need to use this method for miui.

unroot procedure?

So, also being quite the n00b too when it comes to rooting Android devices, I'm wondering why the procedure outlined here (and possibly this next if needed) would not unroot the Atrix 2 (outside of a bootloop problem of course)?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pirateghost:
unfortunately, no. when you root, you are simply adding 2 files (su - goes in /system/bin, and Superuser.apk which goes in /system/app/)

those methods of 'hard reset' only clear the /data partition.

it may be possible to unroot by reversing the changes made in the rooting process.

mount the /system as read/write, and delete /system/bin/su and /system/app/Superuser.apk

reboot

[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Somehow your commands are not running, it appears that you are not waiting long enough between commands or are pasting all of them at the same time, and the commands are just dumping out after the command line comes back.

Try doing each command one at a time being very cautious that only the next command you want to run is on that command line and then hitting return at the end of each line.

something like this:

shell@edison:/data/local$ chmod 777 zerg

shell@edison:/data/local$ ./zerg <hit the return key>

executing zerglings........

so on and so fourth.

note: you should not see an echo of the command you just ran on the next line after the command line, like you were seeing above, this means that the commands are not hitting the command line, I have seen this before when things like timing are off, on say a script that uses something like the perl expect module, or someone pastes a whole script or series of commands on to ONE command line, they will not get executed correctly.

Let me try to script it for you and upload it someplace and you can push that and run that from the phone and it should do it for you.

oK thanks and I'll try your idea
[Motorola Atrix 2] hlb96:
Thanks for this guide. I returned my galaxy s2 for the atrix 2 yesterday. $49.99 vs $199.99 was an easy decision, even though the BestBuy employee thought I was crazy for doing this. I used titanium backup to put my apps from the galaxy s2 to my atrix 2. I replaced the titanium backup folder with the same folder pulled from my galaxy s2. I couldn't be happier now. This phone is incredible for the price. Can't wait to see all the future goodies for this phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cheetablaze:
Wow! I'm shocked as well, I love my A2 but I probably would have kept the Sammy as well. The resale value would probably be a bit better. But hey who cares, welcome to the family!
[Motorola Atrix 2] hlb96:
I got the buyback for $30. Within 6 months I get $300 if I trade it in for something better. That covers early termination fee+. Which means I basically rented the phone. I wouldn't even consider that if I paid $200 for the phone. Hopefully we will have quad cores by then. I have really enjoyed the phone so far. It feels better in my hands than the Sammy did.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
That makes me feel much better about this phone cause I bought the buyback plan too:cool:

I'm rooted woot Thanks!

[Motorola Atrix 2] tech2332:
Wondering if I should root my Atrix 2. I don't see much use until there's custom roms.

Loving this phone though. Coming from a Nexus One I've had for about 2 years, rooted, custom roms, it never skipped a beat. Its downfall was the concrete (no pun intended). One day I'll revive it though.
[Motorola Atrix 2] PhaseOfFact:
Just want to check to make sure this is safe since this isn't just a "out on sd card and install"

Is this safe to install onto a rooted A2, or should I wait until there is a way to backup? Thank you~

that person's post states to go into /system/app and install the file(s) in the folder. No need for CWM or anything fancy. Drop the application in there and reboot.

[Motorola Atrix 2] travisxcore:
So heres my issue. I run it (yes its in virtual box, filter redirects usb to vm so i know thats not the issue) and everything goes great until it should reset the phone. As it says it loses connection to the phone and the phone never resets. If I leave it up the vm goes crazy with usb errors and if I reset the phone manually adb continues like nothing happens and then spits out permission errors. In the end super user gets installed but if I go into the terminal and type in su it says not found. I've tried this over multiple times clearing out the temp files from the root and its the same thing over and over.

Pics:

Whats weird though is that I should have to have root access to use that screenshot app. Yet another app that requires it said I didn't have root access and SuperUser never added any apps or had any logs created.
[Motorola Atrix 2] koriflame:
Try the manual method. It just worked perfectly for me. (You also have to manually restart the phone whether by command or power button)
[Motorola Atrix 2] travisxcore:
Its so much typing though...

Hahaha. Its on the wall charger right now as it was at 5% (just bought it today) so after its a lil charged up ill try.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
You're saying you're losing connection. Are you using the front USB ports? If so, use the rear. Sometimes the front won't keep power to finish the process. Also make sure you have plenty of battery life before you start again!
[Motorola Atrix 2] travisxcore:
I'm on a lappy. Its plugged into my esata combo port (it should always be powered) but I'll try a different one.

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

Finally I got it. Haha.

I did it manually first time it didn't work (same disconnect error).

So I removed the temp files and started over. When it got to the part it always failed I remounted the sd card on the phone and unplugged then replugged the usb cord (to fix the usb error xp kept spitting) and after that everything came together and started working. Tested it in terminal and works :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] Bigtjmc:
Your Phone is Rooted ![*] Press any key to exit. Press any key to continue . .

I never got this cmd waited and waited so I just closed the cmd and all seems ok and the terminal app said I was rooted should I be ok? And can I still do updates with the phone rooted?
[Motorola Atrix 2] koriflame:
You should be okay. You could run through all the manual commands just to be sure, but if you have Superuser and root apps work fine, you're probably good.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Bigtjmc:
Everything seems ok so far and its been 24 hr so I will just keep on like I am I guess

So can I still do the updates since its rooted?

I just factory reset and it goes back into non root mode.

buy titanium back up, back up your apps and freeze system apps you don't need.

anything else, don't touch until you have an functioning sbf to restore to.

1-click rooted flawlessly, thank you!

I've restored my fav apps w/ TB, frozen as much bloatware as I dare, and replaced my boot animation.

Now, I might be content (for a bit) if only I new how to remove that obnoxious "AT&T" from the precious real-estate of my notification/status bar...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Douchewithaphone:
That's what I did. Froze all the AT&T apps except the barcode scanner because it's free, it works, and I don't feel like downloading a non-AT&T app for something that I have working.

Root is totally worth it. I'm not going to go into all the techy stuff I've done but it's improved my experience with this phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] matt99017d:
manual method or auto wont work

this is what i get with the 1 click method

manual method is no good either.

where am i going wrong?

atrix 2

failed to copy "su" to/system/xbin/su

when the one click method is done at the end it say's that im rooted, yet it gives me a whole line of crap saying that it cant be completed.

i do however have a SU icon on my phone...:/ when i go into it, it says that i need to update my binary file. i try and get a force close.

kinda lost now.

I really don't see why you wouldn't be able to update... All you're doing is adding two files to the device that can be removed just as easily as they were put on there.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jsyi84:
You might want to also try undeads absolution. Its pretty nice and basically has all the kanged cm has plus a couple fixes and debloated some more which is always a good thing.

On a side note you might want to give undeads senseless ROM a try as he's got a good bit of cm stuff mixed in to keep it interesting if you want to keep the TV out and good awesome sense camera and 1080p video and not have a bunch of useless crap the stock room had in it. Actually I recommend it at this current moment as cm is great but at the expense of losing a couple of the premium qualities (camera,TV out) of this phone??

Is the full version of CM7 out now or is it just a beta version? And if its the beta, how well does it work n where do I download it?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jsyi84:
It's basically an alpha...

It's a nice start...but the kernel in it will murder your battery. There are some market issues as well as keyboard glitches.

Here's a list posted of issues by the OP

The current buglist:

- Recording in HD Video is limited to 720p currently.

- Camera zoom is limited to 2X.

- Certain browser issues, such as reported crashes and flash 11 movie compatibility issues. (CyanogenMod).

For the most part you might be better off sticking to Undeadk9's Senseless for now..... Might want to hold off till Sunday :) Undeadk9's got something to share.

But here's CM7

I can't factory reset the phone from the privacy menu. And even in the android recovery it stays at the triangle. Apps in the market say insufficient memory when I have tons of all memory left. Resetting the phone unger the privacy manu doesn't go anywhere when I hit the button. Also keep getting geolocation problem on my beautiful widgets update.

So I managed to reset the phone and I can install apps now... New problem is the market won't update its the old green version, also geolocation still can't find my position in beautiful widgets..
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
Keep using the old version until the new version takes effect, after a factory reset, it takes a while.

I say this from experience, use the old green version for a while, just browse around, and restart the phone. Use the green one, and close it out, soon you will have the new version of the Android Market, if not just find it online.
