I think that busybox uninstaller did remove its own Shell, but not the System link. A solution would be to push a shell in the expected directory. Adb push is working. Unfortunately I don't know where to acquire the original shell, nor where to push it.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Probably have to push it to /system somewhere, but you have to make system writeable i think "adb remount" should do that.

Solved

I solved the Problem by flashing my device.

I've falshed my Phone with the Flashtool. I did try it several times and encountered several errors to wich I will describe the solution here.

At first I workt in an XP environment and Flashtool didn't recognize my Phone, consequeltly t've tried to install several drivers. All failed.

In an Win 7 environment I also failed at the beginning. Flashtool did always ask me wich Phone I did connect and did not recognize it when i I plugged it in flash mode. Log:

I finally succeeded when I uninstalled all drivers related to my Phone with USB-deviewer and installed the GordonsGate drivers(you can find them in /flashtool/drivers). Then I connected my Phone in MTP-mode with debugging enabled. Flashtool did not ask to recognize my Phone as it did before, nor did it report wich Phone I connected. Still flashing worked. (With an Xperia Mini you go in flash mode by pressing the Volume Down Button). Log:

I bricked my phone by using the wrong SBF. Like a DA, I didn't pay attn and used a SBF for verizon. However, my carrier is C Spire.

I am stuck at this:

Bootloader

30.04

Err: A5,70,70,00,1F

MEM_MAP Blank

Service Req'd

Battery OK

OK to Program

Can anyone point me to the correct SBF for C Spire to resolve this? Any help is much appreciated.
[Droid X General] D-man3490:
You're going to have to take it back to c spire and do a warranty return or you can send it to Motorola and they'll send you a new one back unless you're phone came with android version 2.2. If it came with 2.3.5 there's nothing you can do. Try this sbf file if it came with 2.2 http://www.filesonic.com/file/1301534444/SHADO_X6_3.2.6_SHADOW_BP_C_02.06.00R_AP_BP_Flex_21_signed_secure_cell_south_1ff_P3_USERBLD.sbf.gz
[Droid X General] jamcnew:
Thanks. I thought I may have to do the warranty exchange.

The link you attached is not working. Can you re-post it?

Again Thanks
[Droid X General] ngholson:
none of the sbf files would work for me, i was preloaded with 2.2. every time it resulted in the above referenced information exactly. there has to be a way to do it. i wish that i had a spare milestone x that i could mess with for testing. but after bricking 2 phones i am not willing to try it with my personal phone anymore.

edit: i can't remember, can you get to recovery?
[Droid X General] jamcnew:
No, I can't get beyond the Boot loader screen.
[Droid X General] ngholson:
my advice, before admitting defeat and taking it in for warranty, i would try every damn sbf i could find and use every method you can find. whats the worst that will happen? you brick it? too late. if you can get it to boot again somehow there is hope. try the same method over and over again. keep trying everything you can. THEN report back here and let the rest of us know =D
[Droid X General] jamcnew:
I've been working on this since Friday. The only sbf I've come across for C Spire is SHADO_X6_3.2.6_SHADOW_BP_C_02.06.00R_AP_BP_Flex_21_signed_secure_cell_south_1ff_P3_USERBLD.sbf.gz

I've yanked the battery, tried every imaginable button combo but that damned thing is stubborn. I'll probably go and do a warranty exchange later in the afternoon today. But if anyone here can point me to another sbf for C Spire, I'll try it out before I take it in. The one above is the only one I've been able to find.

I guess being on a small regional carrier makes it a little harder to get these things.
[Droid X General] jamcnew:
Thanks for the responses. I've warranty exchanged it now.

The replacement is on 2.2.2. Should I leave it alone or get the OTA update? I would like to put Cyanogenmod 7.1 on it.
[Droid X General] D-man3490:
Leave it alone. You can't run cyanogenmod nightlys on 2.3 because the nightlys are using froyo. If you do update you'll have to find the RC of cyanogenmod to put on it because it uses 2.3.7

[Acer Iconia A500] rlt9999:
New stock A500 just out of the box this morning. Booted fine after the recommended 4 hour charge, running 3.0.1. Took the OTA update at the popup and rebooted fine. Checked in system and saw another update was available, downloaded and let it reboot, progress indicater went almost to end and failed. Tab won't boot now, shows status items and clock in lower right and small icon in upper left corner with 2 pulleys labeled "Android System", nothing happens when touching anything or pressing buttons. I've tried the reset button, cleared cache and data, have tried downloading several "update.zip" files and putting them on the SD card then rebooting into recovery. The updates start to install then I get a yellow triangle. I'm sure that there is a solution to this but I couldn't find it!

Thanks in advance,

Bob

EDIT: in addition to not booting since the failed update I have found that the tablet is no longer charging now too. Looks like this thing is going back to the store!
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
You most likely could put it into fastboot mode and flash it to fix your problem. BUT I WOULD NOT mess with it if it is brand new and you've done nothing to it.

TAKE IT BACK AND GET A NEW ONE
[Acer Iconia A500] rlt9999:
Thanks for the reply, please tell me more about this fastboot option.I have another 13 days to return it to the store so I don't have anything to lose! All of the stores in the area are out of the a500 right now.
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
If you start playing around fastboot and flashing you will void your warranty. Take it back while you can and you can honestly tell them that you did nothing to it.
[Acer Iconia A500] rlt9999:
Yeah, I see that the warranty could be an issue later if I did get this tab running now. I did an online chat with Acer support this evening and they indicated to me that they believe the problem to be a hardware failure, they wanted me to send it in but I told them that it's going back Walmart and they can send it back. Thanks again for your help and advice.

Best regards,

Bob

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinsb:
I recently bought a part working but faulty S2 and have been using it for the things I wanted.

However the fault was that the volume up button wasn't working (volume down button was fine), as I used a bluetooth headset it wasn't a problem. However this stopped me from flashing custom ROMS.

I've taken the unit apart and can see that the top two of the four connectors on the flat ribbon cable connecting the volume buttons have broken at the solder points connecting the cable to the PCB..

I'm not a soldering expert and even after spending an hour looking on youtube for relevant videos (and not finding any) I need advice on how to solder the connectors back.

Would it be best to clean the existing solder and try to solder afresh (my concern here is that the plastic on the flat wire connector would surely melt?) or would I be better off using very fine wire and trying to make a patch?

If anyone could give me some guidance or point me at some vids I'd appreciate it.

Also if anyone in London is a soldering expert and would be willing to do it for me I'd appreciate the help.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyssa1104:
You can not solder the ribbon cable unless its at its contact ends. If the tracks are damage along the ribbon you may be able to use conductive paint to repair this, other wise and new ribbon cable part.

My advice is to look on ebay for a full housing most come with ribbon cables inside which for $20 or so must be a better option.;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slig:
Post some hi-res photo If you can. To repair this yourself (if really only solder point is broken) You will need some equipment (preffered is soldering station with regulated power). Local electronics service might do it cheaper.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinsb:
It's hard to post Hi-Res photo's without the risk of causing more damage.

This is the Volume Button sub assembly.

http://stellatech.com/article.php?lang=en&id=810429

If you look at the flex cable part you can clearly see the four connectors at the bottom of the photo.

If you imagine the two left hand most connectors soldered connection to the PCB are good and the two right hand most connectors solder has separated.

Hope this makes sense.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
Not to stop you from fixing it, but if you haven't flashed custom roms because of being unable to do the 3 button combos, they aren't needed just use the command line to run "reboot download" or "reboot recovery" a Terminal app from the market or adb should be enough. Then most custom roms will even let you add shortcuts to each into the power menu.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinsb:
Thanks for that but I'd prefer to install CWM and install the ROMS via ODIN, this isn't possible without being able to use the Vol Up button.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slig:
OK so that's how i see it.

* Transformer soldering iron is not suitabe, could cause damage. You will need soldering station with very fine... ending (don't know the english word) and power output regulation (DO NOT BUY cheap ~20-30W integrated heater without regulation - it's worth nothing)

* Definitely you will need flux, in my opinion little pieces of solid-kind are better (than gel) but that's arguable.

* I would try to use existing remnants of solder and add some Pb-based tin (existing is Pb-less for sure so it requires higher temperature)

* Do dot try to remove existing solder - it will require long time of warming with solder iron and could cause much damage. Also special equipment is needed for that.

* Put some pieces of flux on desoldered part and warm it for the solder to melt but for as short time as possible. Do not touch any isolation (OR CASING !). Cable isolation do not melt easily but prolonged heating will surely damage it.

* Flux remnants should be removed afterwards using isopropyl alcohol.

* Practise on sth. similar as soldering requires some experience, electronic board is easy to damage by prolonged heating.

It's not very difficult, but if You didn't ever soldered anything, it would be cheaper, safer and probably wiser to find some workshop. There are people who can even replace chips on MB so this job will be piece of cake.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinsb:
Thanks for this.

The fine ending is called a "tip" by the way.

While I have soldered things before nothing this fine to be honest, I think I'll try to find a workshop to do it for me.

Best Regards, thanks for the advice and have a good Holiday.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
I just told you how to get into download mode to install with Odin. that was the reboot download command.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
And that's what he taught you to do.

Just use the command to reboot into download mode, flash in something like CF-Root kernel using Odin which then gives you root and CWM.

Then in the future, you can get the phone to reboot into download mode using the CWM app (it's called reboot download). Then you can keep flashing using Odin without needing the vol up button, especially if you are unsure if you are able to solder such a fine detail successfully.

With regards to soldering, you will need to keep the temperature low as possible so that you don't damage the multilayer PCB.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
I should mention that will the commands to reboot into recovery or download mode work and could be all you ever need, they only work from a booted system.

If you get stuck in a boot loop you could be in more trouble and would need to fix the volume rocker to get into recovery and wipe OR get a jig and flash a full wipe rom to fix a boot loop.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinsb:
Which is why I want to fix the Vol button first.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinsb:
Just to let people know.....

I managed to contact a Samsung phone repair outlet that asked me to bring the phone in.

Hi guys, I just got my Kindle Fire for xmas today. I want to root, but I've been reading the forum and see that a recent OTA update came out and there's been problems. I'm not super computer savy and I really don't want to mess it up. Do I have to wait for a new method to root? If someone wants to take a newb under their wing and tell me what roms etc I should get it would be much appreciated! Just a little overwhelmed with all the posts, not sure where to get consolidated current info.

How about current method for Mac users?

ty!
[Kindle Fire General] Amacx86:
So here's what I did...

(I have a Mac running snow leopard).

I downloaded the KindleFireRootMacLinux folder referenced in the old Mac root thread. This gets adb running on the mac. Use whatever system you need to get adb running on your PC. The command adb on the PC is replaced by ./adb-mac on the Mac.

Then I used the burrito root method and pushed super user to the kindle fire. using the adb commands from terminal.

Finally, I downloaded the google apps folder, installed Googleservicesframework *FIRST* and rebooted.

Then I installled the remainder of the apps EXCEPT market.

Then I used the ES Folder program with root explorer etc enabled to copy the market.apk file to system/app and changed permissions and ran it.

Everything worked fine.

THEN I installed DroidWall to take away the internet communication capabilities of all the Amazon apps (and browser) to try and keep another stealth push from Amazon from breaking root.

Someone else will have to link to the files because I haven't posted enough to include links.

I'll just join in to mention something the OP may not realize. Although I'm basically a newbie rooting the KF also, the current root method works with the new update from Amazon, so you don't have to worry about preventing the update to download. In fact, it's probably best to let it update first, otherwise you'll just have to repeat rooting it.
