NEW Root method for Motorola Android Phones

Hi! I just created this thread to let you know that thanks to user dettofatto and me, there's a new root method for Motorola Android Phones (I don't know if it will work for other brands).

NOTE: I tried this method with Gingerbread, I don't know if this will work with other versions.

The method is far from easy, but it works if none of the existing exploits and tricks don't.

Ok, there are some simple-like steps to root your phones:

A) if you have droid pro with 2.3.6 argentinian: http://www.mediafire.com/?aweayb68szubuci and go to 2, if you don't have:

1. If you have an unrooted gingerbread, ask for a rooted gingerbread userdata partition image (aka CG37) with a modified local.prop file and USB debugging enabled.

The value that you need to modify is ro.sys.atvc_allow_all_adb from 0 to 1.

IMPORTANT: The best you can do is to double wipe the phone and then modify local.prop an allow USB debugging, so the data partition doesn't have any of your personal information.

Then you can create a userdata partition image by typing this in the shell (with root access)

Code:

dd if=/dev/block/userdata of=/sdcard/CG37.smg

or

Code:

busybox dd if=/dev/block/userdata of=/sdcard/CG37.smg

and let it do its work.

2. Once you got your CG37.smg in the SD card, you will have to boot into linux (so you can use sbf_flash).

3. When you are in linux, you need to extract the folder contained in the zip that you can download here mediafire.com/?n100jj66130lgra

4. Then you need to copy the CG37.smg and your original SBF (the non rooted one) to that folder.

5. Now you'll have to start a terminal with root permissions, and move to the folder by typing

Code:

cd <folder>

(where folder is the folder I just mentioned, without the <>, you can drag the folder to the terminal if you don't want to type its address)

4. Then you need to resize that partition to 200 Mb, since sbf_flash won't allow you to flash a big image (approx. 1,1 Gb). You have to type this

Code:

efsck -f CG37.smg

resize2fs CG37.smg 200M

5. Then you need to type

Code:

chmod +x sbf_flash

and then you need to start your phone into bootloader and connect it to the computer, then you type

Code:

./sbf_flash -r --userdata CG37.smg ORIGINAL.sbf

(where ORIGINAL corresponds to the name of your SBF)

and let it its work.

5. Once the phone started up, you now need to run this command

Code:

bash finishroot.sh

And let it finish the work.

6. Now you have your phone rooted. You can just reboot into recovery mode and do a double wipe, because the files that we needed are now in system partition.

Hi,

could somebody reupload zip tools from this dead link (second point)?

Okay i missed another post with attachment. Well it's quite simple job, but it require a little knowledge, especially linux basics. But could it be possible to rebuild argentinian sbf with modded CM37? After it root will be possible using SuperOneClick.
[Droid Pro Android Development] radkyz:
Hmm but after flash this 200mb userdata i have only 200mb storage space... How to bring back full storage space?

Well, i flashed jackpot CM7 again, then restored my backup and i have 1,05GB, and i think i had more storage space before, could somebody confirm thattotal storage space on CM7 jackpot is 1,05

GB?
[Droid Pro Android Development] dejamorison:
Can somebody help me with this? Boot linux where and how? On PC? Do I need drivers? Or on phone...? What linux?

Original sbf? Original rom that is on phone, right?

Please explain this part?

Please please somebody help me about this, I have problems with this Rom (week signal) and I cant do anything until I root my phone...:(
[Droid Pro Android Development] dejamorison:
Ok I manage to root this phone. So I will write down some explanation for future members.

----------------

1.First of all, you must have bootable dvd to boot up Knoppix Linux on your PC.

2.You have to download attachment (Root236ArgEuro.zip) from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26551654&postcount=5

3.Download file http://www.mediafire.com/download/aweayb68szubuci/CG37.smg

4.You need your rom in .sbf format (that you currently have, in this case 2.3.6 Argentinian).

5.Extract Root236ArgEuro.zip in one new folder named "root" and put your rom .sbf file in there and also CG37.smg file in that folder. Copy that folder to usb flash memory (because you will need those files in Linux)

6.Boot up in Knoppix Linux. Copy folder from your usb memory to desktop.

Now follow steps from here in original post (I'll write some notes to be all clear):

5. Now you'll have to start a terminal with root permissions, and move to the folder by typing

Code:

cd <desktop/root>

(you have to find your folder that you just copy)

4. Then you need to resize that partition to 200 Mb, since sbf_flash won't allow you to flash a big image (approx. 1,1 Gb). You have to type this

Code:

efsck -f CG37.smg

resize2fs CG37.smg 200M

5. Then you need to type

Code:

chmod +x sbf_flash

and then you need to start your phone into bootloader ( to enter bootloader:turn off your phone, press and hold volume up and down together with power on)

and connect it to the computer (with usb cable), then you type

Code:

./sbf_flash -r --userdata CG37.smg ORIGINAL.sbf

(where ORIGINAL corresponds to the name of your SBF) Instead ORIGINAL.sbf you have to write exact name of your rom name...easiest way is to simply rename your rom name to ORIGINAL.sbf (all capital letters) and code above will work as it is.

and let it its work.

5. Once the phone started up, you now need to run this command

Code:

bash finishroot.sh

And let it finish the work.

6. Now you have your phone rooted. You can just reboot into recovery mode and do a double wipe, because the files that we needed are now in system partition. If your root pass correctly, you will have new icons:SUPERUSER and DROID 2 BOOTSTRAP. Enter DROID 2 BOOTSTRAP; press bootstrap Recovery, allow superuser permision; then REBOOT Recovery; When you enter recovery do wipe user data/factory reset. Then reboot your device. Go to settings/privacy/ and do factory data reset. This should restore your internal memory from 200mb to 1Gb

[/QUOTE]
[Droid Pro Android Development] radkyz:
Yes, confirmed. Factory reset brings back storage.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbrunner7:
Try RTF or working with the Blocks collection

If the WP7 RichTextBox control is anything like other such controls Microsoft built over the years, it may work with RTF internally:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format

It's a long shot, but you might try that.

Alternative: Try to work with the Blocks collection, like they do here:

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCornholio:
Thank you rbrunner7

That the solution for me was to use the RichTextBox.Xaml property and insert Xaml code into it. Unfortunately this wasn't ideal for my app, so currently I'm using the Webbrowser control ;)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbrunner7:
Nice link

That's really quite a good article about this control.

Interesting how different this "Rich Text" control is from earlier such controls from Microsoft.

I suspected another one of those WP7 Silverlight controls that are mostly wrappers around native controls like the TextBox control. But this looks like a true Silverlight control written in C# instead.

So there might be no native RTF based Rich Text control in WP7? Was there one in Windows Mobile?

Try posting on any of the relevant threads; don't just start a new one.

Include the relevant info, like what equipment you are using, what image (ROM), what state your bootloader is in, and what steps you're following.

Don't flag a thread "URGENT" unless you can justify this claim; the typical use of homebrew GoldCard is to downgrade the bootloader for RSPL and custom ROMs, and I really don't see how that's urgent.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crestofawave:
I suggest against 3.5 entirely, it's way too bloated to run smoothly on our phones.

There's plenty of Sense 4.0 development. The ROM's we have right now are blazing fast and pretty much everything works, except for camera. Won't take long till we have fully functional Sense 4.0 ROM's.

So my advice is to stick with Stock (Virtuous Sense 2.0.0), until Camera works in Sense 4.0. Also, flash the Unity kernel, I have v9 on mediafire (can't find v10 right now).

Eddiegame, in case you haven't tried that ROM then please do. It's stock with Virtuous kernel/tweaks.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i-zeek:
Hi there,

My Nexus S (i9023) phone recently fell into a water bucket and I immediately pulled it out.

Not much damage was done to it except of one thing: after I put it in a bag of rice like stated on the internet for overnight, and then plugged it in again to the charger, it seems like something was different.

When I plug the phone to the AC power - phone DOES charge, but nothing else happens.

It doesn't turn on screen and informs "charging", and doesn't have the "charge when phone is off" option anymore. Instead it would just turn the phone on.

Also, when connecting the phone to the computer nothing happens, it's just charging the phone! can't mount USB anymore :(

I took the phone to a lab which handles these cases. They replaced the USB port and cleaned all the corrosion. They said it's fixed now, and indeed the USB port is new.

But then after coming back home it's still the same.

I'm sick of being dependant on other people and would like to fix it myself.

Any clue which part of my phone was fried? Where can I get it?

Thanks!

I can only guess that ur ROMs kernel had a "fast charge" option. If so this doesn't allow computer connection. How it got switched to that option... who knows :).... maybe the sudden power surge.

If not that, then ... strange things happen when a phone get wet.. the sudden power surge could have changed the power output causing CPU adjustments... who knows.

A workaround here is to long press the Menu button which enables the keyboard.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdinis:
Hello

Before i start, just like to say that I spent almost two days to read almost all posts related to my phone, but still feel I need your help.

Ok then:

I own an HTC Desire and recently asked an informatic friend to root my phone, mainly for two reasons:

- In order to install more applications, since it was always with the notification of "low memory space" and still had lots of applications to install and,

- To be able to customize, since I see many colleagues with images and icons very beautiful and I'd like to have that

After the root done, my friend installed the ROM CyanogenMod 7.0.1

I was very happy the phone came to my hands, but even before i start to install the applications i noticed that only had about 70MB free space, and then after installing some, quickly came to 30Mb, even using the App2SD. Frankly it seems to me that this program is working exactly the same way it was before the root. One part goes to the SD but another part is the internal memory. I thought with the root, the entire application would go to the SD.

I also noticed that either the cache or system applications were also in the internal memory and not in SD. So i suspect that something is lacking because something is not right.

Another question I have, and probably can be related, is that applications that came in were the Rom Manager and Superuser. However, if you open the Superuser does not appear nothing, not on the page of the application or the registration page. Do not know if it's normal.

As for the rom manager, any action that I want to do such as Install Rom from SD card, or Download Rom or Check for Rom Updates, or Partition SD Card always shows me the message "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing. Install the Recovery Manager through Rom first " followed by the option Install or Cancel. Has im not an expert, i decided not to install and listen to your help first. What is wrong? what should I do?

I hope you understand me (sorry for my English but im from Portugal) and i wait you can help me.

Thanks

1. Search for SD partition guide, a2sd/a2sd+/data2ext guide, Hboot flashing guide, recovery flashing guide, rom flashing guide (in no particular order, get them all), learn and figure out what these are. So before you take a step, you know the risk.

2. Maybe your Desire got RMD Recovery on the recovery partition after rooted. So with your finishing "1." , you should know how to get a ClockworkMod Recovery.

Thank you, but can anyone be more especific?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicka3200:
The rooting process installs Superuser on your phone system partition. Superuser is the app that grants root permissions to other apps. Opening it will just show you which apps have been granted root priveledges which I am guessing are none so far.

Do not use ROM manager with the desire it will cause all kinds of problems. You should already have a custom recovery installed when it was rooted.

To get more space for apps you need to install a ROM that supports A2SD+ (not the same as Froyo A2SD) and partition your sd card. ROMs available here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=809328 There is a guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016084 Follow steps 5 to 7 (you have done 1 to 4 already). There is another good (perhaps better) guide here http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/220627-faq-apps2sd-updated-17-02-11-a.html and some more general information about rooting here http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/503471-desire-all-things-root-guide.html

Alternatively you could change the phone internal partitions in conjunction with an appropriate ROM but that is more complicated.

I hope this helps.
