about to throw my laptop out the window, and put my phone in the trash compactor......

i moved the apk file onto the root of my sd card, ran the adb command, and it cannot find it...so now i google searched, and found that it has to be put in the sdk>platform-tools folder on your computer.

now that i got that out of the way, i ran the command and get:

pkg: /data/local/tmp/pwnmymoto-1.4.3-droid.apk

Failure [install_parse_failed_unexpected_exception]

what do i do about this? i just got the xt1080 (droid maxx) update, and now i just want to re-root. i am completely un-rooted as of right now.

i am VERY lost, and VERY new to adb

i am no developer but i have used adb and fastboot before...i already had the sdk setup on my computer before i did this i just had to follow the directions about cydia

but im sure someone who has never used adb and fastboot and trying to run rockmymoto would have quite a difficult time, so thats why i tried to clear up some of the steps

What sbf file do I download for the xt1080m? There's 3 different files and I want to be sure to grab the right one. I want to restore and accept the update. I keep deferring it but I'd rather go through the process before I end up in a boot loop

Was Stuck in Boot Loop too

Something told me not to accept the update until the devs had some time to see what it's about but I went against my instincts and paid the price. I also flashed back to stock using RSD lite but no more WiFi tether.

[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] NWKENT:
Just curious, if you took the 12.15.15 OTA, How did you flash back to stock, did you flash back to 12.7.7.

Or have you found the 12.15.15 fastboot files/ xml zip or what.? I tried to RSD lite back to 12.7.7 after taking the 12.15.15 OTA and my device displayed "cannot downgrade"..

Yeah..seems like I had to be Rooted before I could regain the WiFi-HotSpot tethering, but of course after the SQLite mod to get it working..

Should I go RockMyMoto or some other way to get Root?
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] inkdaddy66:
I've searched for steps to boot into fastboot. Can't find it. How do I make that happen? Only through ADB? Or can I use android terminal?

Rock my Moto is the only way to root maxx at this point on 12.15.15 to my knowledge. This method does not require you to have been rooted before. I FXZ back to full stock and used Rock my Moto. Now fully rooted with read/write.

This old fart is finally rooted, once again. Oh what a learning curve that was! So glad some of you younger geeks out there can figure this stuff out easier than I can. I just wanted root to run a few special apps and properly backup my phone. Maybe, with the new file system, they can have both an encrypted, safe phone and one that can be widely functional.

[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] NWKENT:
I EXACTLY understand "old"..51 here.. :) I'm tickled that you are finally Rooted..See..its not that hard, once you get everything setup and pushed to your device..the next one you do would take only a few minutes, instead of many hours from scratch..Once I gained Root on my other device, I felt like I had just swam the ocean, and topped the tallest mountain.. :) anyhow..

I still have this device to OTA and Root..and a fraction of time should Root this one..but..this is my primary device, and I may wait for reports on Kit Kat before (or not) move on to KK with this one..I adore the stock active display feature, and the OTA does also include this feature..but KK, whom knows at this point.!

Here ya go friend..scroll way down the OP til you see the list, I use the Verizon version..so I chose the 3.63a link..and included in the download list is 3.65 :)

Some have asked, do they install 3.65 over the previous version..I cannot answer that..I done as HashCode suggested with previous versions and this is what I done..of course..I was on 3.63a..so I booted into my stock slot, in write protect mode off (Recovery Mode)..uninstalled SafeStrap in the app its self..then installed the new 3.65 in the normal install apk way.. :)

Got it yet?

TDB

Sorry for the delay but the reply notification email went to my spam folder. Only saw it after looking for an unrelated email.

I used the following zip file: obake-maxx_verizon-user-4.2.2-12.9.0Q2.X-160-OBK_TA-14-7-7-release-keys-CFC.xml.zip

I unzipped, deleted the line “step operation = “getvar” in the .xml file renamed that file and copied it back to the ZIPPED folder. I then deleted the original .xml file from the zipped folder and renamed the folder. I renamed the file and folder because I keep getting "the file path is too long" error message.

I then uploaded the edited zipped folder to RSD lite (with my phone connected to the pc and in fastboot of course).

I found instructions on how to go about doing this here but they were't clear enough so I figured it out through trials and errors and a bit of commonsense.

Using the Droid Maxx btw.

Oh..I guess, I misunderstood your post, I thought you had taken the OTA 12.15.15 and reverted back to 12.7.7

When I tried to revert back to, flash back to 12.7.7 (using RSDLite), from 12.15.15, my device displayed "cannot downgrade"..am I still misunderstanding something, because the FXZ you have attached, is 12.7.7

Ok, now I have a noobish question. Initially I DL'd the apk from my Maxx and rebooted.

It rebooted 3 times normally and I have root. I ran adb shell getprop ro.boot.write_protect and it returns "1".

Do I need it to return "0"? And if so, should I just run it again through command?

Make sure you are booting to recovery... If you just power up normally then you still won't be able to write to system

Hey buddy next to Jcase coming out with the exploit this is the second most useful thing in this thread it makes it idiot proof open the apk and hit recovery it reboots make your changes.

If you guys have not downloaded holo reboot do it now, it makes this whole procedure so simple. And throw some love White Challenger's way.

Haha yea I did it the long way like 10 times in 5 min then I was like "wait this is stupid , I have an app that boots me to recovery" and here we are. Lol

OK so idk if this a fluke or it needs to be a rule of thumb, but just moved several apps to system, rebooted to normal and everything was gone that I added and everything I deleted came back, tryed again only this time first reboot was to "recovery" again and the app stuck.

[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] T.D.B:
Try this...

Not sure what went wrong. Make sure you have the latest drivers installed on your computer before starting. Here a link to a folder in "My Drive".

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-77bxrWb3Y8b091WHJ6dkRlMFk&usp=sharing It contains the latest drivers from Moto and the edited zipped package I used. Install the drivers and then repeat the process using the zipped package. Remember the .xml file has already been edited so you can get straight to flashing. Hope that works for you.

Is this the file that will keep data? I've been trying to use fastboot but just can't get my comp to see my device. Rsd sees my device though.

Let me make sure I understand your situation and what exactly it is you're trying to do. You said "I would like to update just to be current (even though I hear the update isn't earth shattering) I just don't want to lose app data." I posted how to advice on how to recover from your phone (rooted) being inoperable (stuck in a bootloop) after accepting the OTA 12.15.15 ("camera") update. This is not meant to update your phone. Using this method will basically reset your phone to factory state (like it was when you bought it). Is your phone currently in working condition?

[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] inkdaddy66:
Yeah. In working condition. I downloaded the file anyways. It's good to have. Thank you for posting it.
