Greetings,

Okay, so I endeavoured to root my phone last night and was successful. I ran into trouble when the clockwork recovery and superuser permissions kept getting removed each time I rebooted the phone. This morning, I tried to restore the superuser permissions by following the steps I found here on xda but after running the terminal script I rebooted my phone and when my phone wouldn't boot beyond the Google screen. :(

Now, I'm at the Google splash screen with no way to move forward. I'm a mac user and I don't really get the adb thing. Got adb to work with mac from a youtube video, but still not sure what commands to run.

I can't access clockwork recovery from the bootloader.

What I've done so far:

- wiped cache

- wiped/factory data reset

- retraced my steps by using terminal to setup superuser permission from this post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=927838)

What I think:

- maybe in all of my clicks I removed the ROM, so the phone doesn't have a ROM to work with.

This maybe a really infantile conclusion, but I know there's a solution (had a rooted G1 that I flashed all the time and thought I bricked once but was able to get it back to stock).

Eagerly waiting for a reply... no cell phone if this can't be fixed.

Tamaratee

It has the adb commands on how to replace the existing boot loader with cwm and all.

Hope it helps.

EDIT: If all else fails, you can try flashing a nandroid backup (2.3.3). This post would guide you:

Greetings Cygnum,

Thanks for the suggestion. I have a question: will these commands work on a Mac?
[Nexus S General] tamaratee:
Thank you to AllGamer for suggesting that I post this question here and for the following suggestion:

How do I proceed AllGamer? I downloaded the mac SDK from here (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html).

Follow steps 1-7 from here to get back Clockwork Recovery.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878446

If your bootloader is already unlocked, you can skip those steps.

Do steps 8-9 to copy this file over to your USB drive.

http://devsforandroid.com/ip.board/index.php?/files/file/94-stock-deodexed-233-voodoo-rooted/

This rom is Master's Stock 2.3.3 ROM that is already rooted which should get you up and running.

Unmount, go back. Wipe system data, wipe cache. Go to advanced, Wipe Dalvik-cache.

Go back, choose to install zip from SD card. Locate Master's stock ROM. Flash that.

In the end, you'll have a stock deodexed rom that is rooted. Keep in mind that you will lose all your data, but that at least puts you back on track.
[Nexus S General] peeturr:
Also wanted to mention if you didn't already know, mac scripts are run with a "./" in front of them. So to use the adb command you would do something like, "./adb reboot bootloader" after you have changed your directory to the folder that contains the sdk files.
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
I feel bad for being a stickler here, but this is only true if he has not added the location of the binaries to the PATH. ./ just specifies to start in the local directory rather than look to the PATH to search for the file, it's not a requirement for running a script.
[Nexus S General] peeturr:
Yeah my bad. Just whatever had worked for me. Pretty new to mac myself.

No but you can remove the share app apk out of the system/app folder. All that share stuff is built into sense as far as I know.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
No it's an Android thing, not unique to Sense at all. App Sharing is Sense, maybe that's what you were thinking of.

It's part of (built in to) the applications you can "share" with. You'd have to uninstall the applications you don't want to see in the share list. Or edit those apk's and recompile them in ways that I don't know how.

Has any other motorola phone run vanilla ui and been updated by google? From my past experiences with them, motorola being a company with a big, snobby ego and them acting like control freaks, I would guess they want to pull all the strings, despite what the customer wants.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
The original Droid had mostly stock Android but Google didn't handle the updates. As far as I know, the N1 and Nexus S are the only commercial phones to get official updates from Google. Motorola did do an incredibly good job at keeping the original Droid up to date though.

Sorry I'm at the DMV so I can't just make one big post lol. But the ipad in my opinion is still more responsive and performs actions a bit smoother, honeycomb had hella eyecandy tho while ios is really playing and boring!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] the.decoy:
Something that might catch out a beginner is if they have an older SD card and it isn't detected by more recent kernels.

Need to include this in the cmdline:

msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] ryannathans:
I thought this was squashed in recent kernels?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] the.decoy:
Oh, ok. I must have missed that. I only needed it on my older SD which I haven't tried using for a month or so.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] AkumaX:
I guess the only thing I would suggest (all minor things) would be maybe to bold/underline keywords, like "kernel", "rootfs", etc.. to differentiate things that may change over time; ex: I'm running FRX05 system.ext2, 3/1/11 rootfs from F22, 3/1/11 zImage/modules (kernel) from arrgghh, etc... And, I guess you "could" be nice and show people what they could edit in the startup.txt, depending on their phone; ex: I'm Sprint, so I would do kb=rhod400, cdma=1, etc..., but for each phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] ryannathans:
I would probably have to do all the different startup.txt's in a different thread, unless I just provide a quick table... I will think about it ;) however I do like the idea about bolding key words.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] slapshot30:
Most new people don't realize if they have their call/end/windows/back buttons on in winmo, they will stay on while on android and never go off. Might want to put that in your first post before telling them to run haret...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] gmanfuzing:
at the end where you say you can just delete the data.img and startover its probably a better idea to say to be patient and reboot the phone once or twice before ditching your data.img ! and creating it is the bulk of the first boot, the linux black screen with the scrolling words section.

you can talk about saving your data.img just incase something goes wrong.

titanium backup is a must

having an app that can save sms when you switch builds (not a big deal for everyone but important to some.)

also let new users know android isn't perfect, things randomly completely mess themselves all the time, don't get discouraged just start fresh with a format and new files when deleting the data.img doesn't work and you'll be just fine.

Is anyone able to provide me with some ETAs of fixes on the problems across all builds listed in the OP? Also are there any more I am not aware of? Oh and if anyone is working on them?

Much Appreciated
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
There's never an ETA for anything getting fixed - BT seems close, but who knows the exact date it will be done? As CyanogenMod says, the only rule is don't ask for release dates / ETA. It'll be ready when it's ready.

Some problems are being looked into more than others, but I wouldn't say one in particular has been left out to rot. jb is fixing up BT, entropy is working on GPS fixes, wistilt2 on the RIL of late... Basically devs pickup things that are of an interest to them to fix. There's a lot still to fix/cleanup, so taking it all on alone is a little daunting. Gotta break it down into smaller pieces so it's at least somewhat manageable.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Tynkrrbell:
Thanks and a question...

First, thanks for the awesome post - quite helpful...

Second: I haven't mussed with my phone for about a year, for various reasons, the main one being that I was happy with my previous phone and the ROM I finally settled on, the secondary one being that phone died, and I now have a (blech) Sprint TouchPro2 (RHOD400), and am on my sixth (yes, sixth!) brand new TP2 - they keep giving me a new one because of problems (things, like... oh... say, not being able to answer calls... kind of a basic function in a mobile phone, nah?!) And, I've had no interest in futzing with what is already a frustrating and non-functional phone. I was hoping I could upgrade instead of getting another TP2 the last time I brought it in for probs, but they would only downgrade me to worse phones. So... here I am, wanting to put Android on my phone and see if there is any improvement. Or, at the least, be able to utilize some of the decent progz/gamez for Android. I mean, if I can't answer calls, at least I can use it as a handheld gaming system, right?! ;)

Long story short: when I was flashing ROMs to other phones, the instructions explicitly said that you needed to unlock, etc., first. I can't find any data re: if there are steps you must take on your phone to 'prep' it, *before* following the steps in this thread. I've browsed the DB and no luck.

My apologies for being an annoying n00b!

PS: one of my friends said "Tell 'em you're a hawt babe - then they'll help for sure!" (ROFL)

And, thanks, again!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Well the reason you can't find any info on it, is that it's not required :p.

These builds run entirely off of the SD (currently - I wouldn't try NAND yet, it's in its infancy) so there's no need to do any HardSPL or anything really to prep - just drop the bundle on your SD card - if it's at the root, run haret.exe and gogogo!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Tynkrrbell:
Oi. I get the stupidcard of the day!

That is awesome! Same friend that suggested I mention I am a 'hawt babe' said I should "give boobpr0n" to whomever helped me. You probably wouldn't want to see that, though! ;)

You are heartily appreciated! I'm off to be an Androidite!!!!!!

Hi

Maybe I'm too tired or too old, but I can't understand how "sdcard" folder (wich match a physical disk) can be on the same branch of a tree than /etc or other Linux system files (wich are physically written on sdcard) when browsing under Xdandroid???

Is /sdcard folder corresponding to the classical /home???

I'd like to move the Winmo folders (my documents, and other stuffs ) to somewhere like /home.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
You can move them wherever you want on the SD card. It will appear as /sdcard/WinMo_files or whatever you name the folder off of the SD card in Android... From WinMo, they'll just be \Storage Card\WinMo_files if you match my example.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] ryannathans:
Anything under /sdcard is accessible under winmo by browsing the storage card.

The need of a '/home' folder is not existant under android, and so, it has been removed.

If you want a place to store all your files, just make a folder on /sdcard and you'd be able to access it through winmo, or your pc, just as you normally would to the sdcard.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Hours? No. 10 mins, max.

You probably didn't follow the step about the ts-calibration file... Please read the thread carefully. If you'reusing my build, I have very specific instructions in the first post - follow them to the T.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Tynkrrbell:
Thanks for the response...

I'm using the "complete froyo bundle"... DL'd the ts-calib file provided at the bottom of the instructions, and placed it in the root folder - did I do something wrong??

I gave up @ six hours - the weird thing is - it wasn't hung... every now and then (aka extremely slowly) there would be new text scrolled on.

So frustrated. But, not giving up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Why did you even leave it for 6 hours? I said 10 mins max...

At any rate, are you running it from the root of your SD? As in haret.exe/the rest of it is just at the base of your SD card, not in a folder?

Off the top of my head that's the usual thing that trips people.... You extracted the ts-calibration file too?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] ryannathans:
1. Create a folder on SD Card Called andboot

2. Download a build, try this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=951962 Download the full bundle ZIP

2.5 Extract to somewhere on pc.

3. Not 100% sure if it includes kernel and rootfs but i would imagine it does. Delete them both (zImage, modules AND rootfs)

4. Use this rootfs and extract it (make sure you rename to rootfs by removing all the numbers)

5. Do the same for kernel using this link: http://glemsom.users.anapnea.net/android2/htc-msm-linux/ and get one of the top ones, the latest has poor battery life but these are easy to update.

6. On you pc it should look like this

a folder called andboot

all the files are in here (rootfs, zImage, modules-2.6.27.46-01289-gbe88ef6 and all the files that came with the build)

6.5. Add your customized startup text file to andboot folder. add the line "rel_path=andboot" to the end of the existing commands in startup file (if not already there).

7. put andboot folder onto sd card.

8. on your phone run haret.exe inside the andboot folder.

9. Writing should only scroll up for a maximum of 10 minutes. If you have any issues with the files I 'provided' don't hesitate to let us know :)

10. have fun with android

oh and if the calibration file is not added, don't worry, when the writing is going up it will ask for you to align the screen and with stylus tap in the middle of each square that pops up.

Now, if I could just figure out why it insists on rebooting into windows when I shut down/restart (have to go into fileman and rerun haret.exe to get it back into Android...), but reboots into Android just fine when a new app is installed that automatically reboots the system. I'm sure it's another case of SUE... :/
