z4root on 2.3.151

Wife was playing with phone & pushed the 2.3.151 update to phone. The problem is that I never back up z4root to my sd card (thinking that I would need it again) and now when I search the marketplace z4root is now longer there!! :mad: Does anyone have a way to get z4root back on an updated 2.3.151 Droid X? Alternate root method for Droid X?? I've got apps, ROMs & themes on my sd that I now can't use since update seems to have put phone back to stock

OH NO, please help!

I was rooted with z4, had apps frozen with titanium backup, have bootstrap, used dx overclocker (to undervoltage and to do a quick-boot with "android" logo rather than Droid Eye). I unrooted, unfroze, stock voltage/speed and turned off apply at boot, FORGOT to undo the quick-boot (but I thought it wouldnt matter since i'm unrooted).

Booted into recovery, tried doing the update.zip got Installation Aborted error (status 7), pressed reboot phone and got the M, followed by the "android" logo that WILL NOT GO AWAY.

Phone won't load, what should I do? Need phone to work soon! :confused:

Will I have any problems with not having the stock apk files for twitter and facebook? They were themed with 928droid's blackglass. After I removed the theme the apps where still themed so I uninstalled and downloaded the ones from the market....Does anyone have the stock twitter.apk and facebook.apk files?
[Droid X General] mastertech007:
Thank you !!!!

[Droid X General] tabeytabe:
I think you are confused as to what being rooted means... You can be rooted but still have all of the stick apps installed. You just need root access before you can modify any stock files. Its the stock files that the update looks for, not whether you are rooted or not.
[Droid X General] tabeytabe:
This IS the OTA... Its not a leak. You'll be fine.
[Droid X General] tabeytabe:
Thanks for posting another link! My dropbox didn't like all the traffic! Lol

Ill be upping my copy to another location in a bit.
[Droid X General] Scallywag1:
I went to recovery and hit update. Said failed and something about social messaging. Anyone have a solution? I redownloaded the apk for social messaging and it still fails...
[Droid X General] milan616:
Guys, the OTA requires an intact /system (or was it /system/app?) folder; it does a check to make sure everything is as Motorola made it. Any differences from 2.3.15(1) and it will fail. SBF back to 2.3.15 or get a stock rom image to fix things.

If you're running the 2.3.320 leak, do yourself a favor and get the system only SBF from Team Black Hat. Yes, unlike the OTA you cannot upgrade in place. Do not make a nandroid and full restore it after the SBF, you'll just be replacing files you updated. Use Titanium Backup for your apps+data. If you want you can even try some system data since the 320 and 340 bases are so similar, though I don't recommend it.
[Droid X General] tabeytabe:
Just search Google for Z4Root.apk and download it to your sdcard. Install it using the "Files" app in your app drawer.
[Droid X General] tabeytabe:
Did you remove/modify something related to social messaging? Is that the only thing you've modified, if so? When you say you re-downloaded the social messaging apk, did you place it in /system/app and give it the proper permissions for it to be seen as a system file? If you did do that then you might need to sbf to get back to full stock.

I'm rooted with fission 2.2.2 running lucid, do I need this update, or can I get away with it til gingerbread...

Beesley has abone stock 2.2 can I flash that and get the update if I take it back to when I aa just first rooted
[Droid X General] davidallen59:
I downloaded the update.zip with my phone. It is in the download folder on sd card. Can someone tell me how to move it to root of sd without my pc so I can apply the update?
[Droid X General] tabeytabe:
Do you have a file browser app?
[Droid X General] davidallen59:
Yeah. Astro and root explorer. Im not rooted though for root explorer.
[Droid X General] milan616:
You can move the file to the root of your SD card with the plain old Files application! Long press the update.zip, select move, go up to the top level of the SD card and press the move button at the bottom.
[Droid X General] davidallen59:
Ok thanks but I think I already got done with astro. Thanks anyway.

I also upped a copy of Z4Root for those that need it: Z4Root

If anyone needs any assistance, hit me up in #androidchat on freenode irc: #AndroidChat web client
[Droid X General] davidallen59:
Ok update worked. It only took about four minutes total. Everything is working so far. Thanks for the link.
[Droid X General] Sleuth255:
go to his site: 928droid.com and click on the image for the Droid X (far right side). Now navigate down to his stock rom and choose the Odexed version.

@all: The update.zip file is only 25mb because its a patch not a full ROM flash. Most of the stuff that was on the 2.2OTA remains btw.

Flashing 928's 2.2OTA-Odexed ROM followed by this update worked for me.
[Droid X General] txmaninblack:
Can't download off multi til I get to computer this sucks
[Droid X General] chetqwerty:
just did the update.zip and didn't loose root, that surprised me :D
[Droid X General] ryan4h:
Getting the following error:

E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Is my zip file bad?
[Droid X General] browndanielusn:
I went back to 928 and was able to load the update without a problem. Thanks for your help...

BTW I didn't wipe cache or data so I was able to keep everything that I had before (minus 928's black bar.)
[Droid X General] browndanielusn:
No, I received the same error. Just use 928's back to stock rom first as listed above and you should be ok.
[Droid X General] chaz493:
thanks, this one worked for me, the repost after the dropbox link went down didn't work. had a problem with the .zip file or something. This zip file was.1mb larger than the previously posted one too which leads me to believe there was an error in the upload or something.

Edit: AND z4 root worked perfectly for me, yay for having my wifi tethering back!. overall a very quick and smooth transition. glad my bootstrap didnt cause any problems
[Droid X General] tabeytabe:
Oh crap, thx for the heads up!

Edit: File FIXED.. thx again
[Droid X General] Sleuth255:
don't bet on it. Mine looked like it still had root but it didn't. Evidence was that it was booting to clockwork at every power-up and root explorer couldn't obtain rights.

That being said, I would wonder if a completely stock OTA that was simply rooted might not retain root after this update since it only applies patches.
[Droid X General] chetqwerty:
That is exactly what i have, completely stock and simply rooted. oh, really simply rooted using the original manual Droid 2 root method.
[Droid X General] bluh5d:
For those of you hesitant. I was running 3.1.5 stock ota just rooted. I upgrade to the 340 then ran z4 and it it gave me root access and all is well . Here is an official ota 340 for you just from someone that can say yes it works. and I have root. now I will say z4 seemed like it took forever to do the root but it did root so no complaints.

[Droid X General] MisterCrispy:
Sorry for the dumb question, but once I have the update.zip file on the SD card, how install it on the phone :confused:
[Droid X General] Sleuth255:
To the Wiki for you! Find a link to it in droid X Android development. Don't try to do this until you know the basics of your phone lest you end up with a useless brick.

edit:

17:55CST Nandroid backup taken, Deodexing now with xUltimate v2.2...

[Droid X General] donballz:
Thank you!!

It keeps saying E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (Stsus 7) Aborted.

Alot of stuff about the build.prop. Do I need to go back to stock before I flash this or something?
[Droid X General] gchglobal:
Yes you do.

Just to expand, I had a lot of issues upgrading. I was using Chevy's Rom and for some reason had 30.03. So I had to revert to 2.3.13 via RSD to get back to base and then do the upgrade. I then tried to write over that with Chevy's Rom and all worked well. But of course I lost a lot of the "enhancements". I'm trying to figure out how to port the enhanced dialer into Chevy's Rom.
[Droid X General] gchglobal:
I do love the system only SBF's as they have worked very well and I don't loose my Angry Birds progress!

I got the TBH SBF working finally. Now I am trying to figure out how to root this bad boy.

Any thoughts? I got z4root 1.3 but it appears to be stuck on "Running exploit..."

ETA: took longer than expected but i haz rootz!
[Droid X General] luke1333:
Keep trying z4 it took me about 10 tries to root 2.3.340
[Droid X General] Sleuth255:
ok, testing results... what's fixed/still broken so far (I'll be editing this post as I learn more):

Fixed:

Battery Status FC appears to be gone (no crashes yet...)

Svox Classic TTS continues to work after re-boot (not sure if upgrade fixed or the general re-flash/install did however)

The landscape/portrait screen orientation bug appears to be corrected. Orientation is much more stable.

Not Fixed

Corporate Email Sync still broken. We use Trust Digital as our Exchange gateway. Related to blur messaging still.

The huge voice command delay (from phone app) is not fixed.

Bluetooth Stack improvements:

bluetooth voice command recognition is much better on my moto SD9-HD.

bluetooth A2DP channel improvements. Much less distortion so I can use PowerAmp boost more aggressively. Almost usable volume now!

[Droid X General] locust43:
Is it bad that I didn't lose root during this update?
[Droid X General] lordloki77:
Just upgraded by flashing full .320 followed by system .340. Everything seems fine, except for overclock, which does not want to work. Using jrummy's app, tells me I don't have the overclock module installed. Reinstalling also fails.

If it matters, I'm running fission 2.3.1, but I've never had previous issues with fission.

Thoughts?

EDIT -- had nothing to do with fission rom, nor with .340 -- all that needed to be done was using titanium to uninstall it (since i had installed originally with the restore). after i cleaned its backups and reinstalled, it worked as expected.
[Droid X General] goose71:
reboots

ever since I upgraded to .340 my phone does two reboots whenever i plug it into my computer. I've done it twice today and twice it's rebooted two times. any ideas/suggestions?
[Droid X General] :
same here.
[Droid X General] bladebarrier:
Backup everything important and wipe the cache and data.
[Droid X General] overfiendx2:
Am I correct in assuming the if I update to this I can no longer use the 2.2 Full SBF for system version 2.3.15? I would need an SBF from 2.2.1 system version 2.3.340 correct? Thanks in advance for any clarification.
[Droid X General] overfiendx2:
Bump

Anybody out there? ;) LOL
[Droid X General] Ezun:
Correct. Once you update you will need to use the full .320 sbf. The .315 sbf will brick your phone completely if you try to use it after the upgrade.
[Droid X General] overfiendx2:
Thanks bro. That's what I thought but I wanted to be sure.
[Droid X General] Olson-clan:
I maybe a noob at this because I cannot figure out what went wrong. I was rooted with the 2.3.15. I had simply renamed bloatware. Downloaded the update, renamed bloatware and updated. Lost my root but system said it was updated to 2.3.340. Tried to root with z4 which said it successfully rooted. Now, superuser is not working and I can't reinstall because I can't uninstall superuser. I have tried everything....

From what I can tell, there is only a system sbf file out there. Anyone have any ideas, I'm at a loss with this one.
[Droid X General] Ryan456789:
Will I lose root or the ability to reroot with z4 if I do this update? My phone keeps asking and I keep hitting later just in case. Currently on version 2.2
[Droid X General] crxin:
You need to go in and delete the superuser.apk that is still in the system. It is confusing the root app.
[Droid X General] crxin:
No
[Droid X General] Olson-clan:
That is the problem, once the update went through, I lost the root and cannot delete or change the superuser.apk. Even after rooting with z4, root explorer tells me superuser has not given permission. I even tried doing it through terminal emulator.
[Droid X General] helowrenchturn2:
Ok. Trying to update my wifes x. This is what I have so far....got bootstrap yesterday, rooted with doroot...all went fine. Today I learn there is an update to .340 available. Went back to the nandroid I made before installing fission. Downloaded update...phone reboots then says update failed. Tried getting 928 back to stock and it wont download. Any ideas?
[Droid X General] jgraham4598:
I updated to the .340 and now it seems my battery life is absolutely horrible. Can't make it 6:00 am through 5:00pm with limited use. With the previous update I saw a dramatic improvement. Anyone else having this problem?

In case anyone finds it useful, I have attached the default build.prop for 2.3.151. I was getting this same error when updating until I replaced with this file.

[Epic 4G General] decalex:
Have you removed the DRM apk's? if you have, this caused exactly what you described for me- and saw it was because I had removed them (after reading thru logcats). If so, push them back, or reflash the rom.

I still kill the process after start up, but keep them installed.

Hey im having a problem ive got 2.2 but it seems like its an old build, here is the info:

It was originally branded with Virgin, but I have unbranded it, then updated to 2.2, now how would I be able to get OTA updates when they are out, without flashing every update on.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
The phone should've picked up the 2.09.405.2 to 2.10.405.2 OTA and then the new one after that. You would need a gold card at ALL times as all updates will need it

Go to Settings>System software updates and press 'Check now' and see what happens
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WormholeZA:
It says there are no updates available for my phone. :S
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
1. Download this:

http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_HTC_EU_2.10.405.2-2.09.405.8_releaseol2djq7rqarka2ka.zip

2. Rename it update.zip (not update.zip.zip)

3. Copy it to the root of your SD card

4. Turn off phone and turn it back on holding volume down

5. Select recovery

6. Once on the screen with the ! hold volume up and press power

7. Select apply SD:update.zip and follow the instructions

You will need to use your gold card to do this
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WormholeZA:
Will this erase the phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
No as it's an OTA, just manually installed
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WormholeZA:
Is this the latest OTA update?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
No, but you have to do them in order. Once this has been done you should then get the latest OTA (2.29.405.2) once rebooted
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WormholeZA:
Where would I get that one from, as it is still not doing the automatic update. Says there are no updates found.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
So you've done the first one?

If you have, and you're not getting the new update either wait as it's gradual or get it here and do the same thing as before:

The screen looks like normal s2u2. Nothing changed.

Do i need a special version or do i miss a step?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 121man:
For this cab to work you must have S2U2 installed on the internal memory, that is the only reason this will not work that i know of as all files are deployed to the internal memory.

Try this and let me know if it worked if not i can provide you the original graphics files to overwrite instead.

Thanks

the problem was that i have a german rom where the files are in programme.
