Having issues unrooting!

I'm using flipz 1.56 RUU and for some reason, when it tells me to connect the phone to the PC, it says it cannot be found. I usually use a MAC to connect my Hero and all sorts of stuff, and I just found a PC to be able to unroot. What seems to be the issue? I know the phone is connected because I can look at it's folders and such.

I'm having this EXACT same issue... But, if you can look at its folders, go into the notifications and set it to "charge only" and make sure USB debugging is enabled.

You need to install HTC Sync on the PC in order to use the RUU.

Grrr...oh well unrooting I stay

Am about to unroot so I can take my Hero in to sprint, I have dust under the screen. Anyone want to point out the best (easiest) way to unroot?
I seen a post where it could be done by just sdcard, would that or using the kitchen be the best way to go?
I am running a 2.1 ROM.
Thanks!

Method 1 is dead simple

Just 5 steps?? WoW
I looked for a little bit today at work and could not find anything this easy. LOL
Anyone tested this?
1. Download the following file: http://www.multiupload.com/Q3RMV5MTRF
2. place in /root of SD card
3. Reboot phone into HBoot mode, by holding Volume Down
4. Press action (the trackball) when prompted
5. Reboot phone

while i havent done it, so cant confirm, the unroot from sd does seem to be the most foolproof way to do it. all their going to look for is the correct recovery.img and stock feel, so it only makes sense

Cool, Thanks!! I am going to give this a try (15 mins before I run in to sprint) I am going to hate to go with about my custom rom and add the added stuff I get with root!

HBoot is recovery mode, When you power up the phone holding down the volume button.

{EDIT} Still not sure what the problem was. But I ran the older kitchen and tried the rooter and it worked just jine. {edit}
OK, I did the 5 little steps and then I went to kitchen to root my phone again..
I phone reboots and when I try to go to HBoot so I can nandroid a backup I have I get this screen.

[GUIDE] ROOTED USERS ONLY: Backup and restore Documents to Go Paid

Dataviz's Documents to Go does not work properly in market.
If you are rooted and migrate to Froyo (or any other rom) and wipe, Dataviz does not reinstall your paid application based on your Google account info and you need to reinstall the demo application in market.
When you reinstall the application, you can reinstall the demo version or you can re-purchase the new version
Option to buy new version does not exist in Froyo.
When you reinstall the demo version, the upgrade you paid for does not work becase when you re-install, you get a new registration number which Dataviz uses to track registrations.
There are two solutions:
You can back up your installation data yourself or you can call DataViz, if you still have your original registration number.
To manage this yourself and not deal with Dataviz:
Part 1: Create a data backup BEFORE you wipe/flash a new ROM:
adb start-server
adb remount
make a note of the working directory for next step
adb pull /data/data/com.dataviz.docstogo com.dataviz.docstogo
you now have a copy of your dataviz.dtg data (including reg info) on your PC.
Part 2: To restore your paid Documents to Go after new ROM flash:
Return to the directory where you ran the pull from
Reinstall Documents To Go demo from market
adb kill-server
wait for server to shut down
adb start-server
adb remount
adb push com.dataviz.docstogo /data/data/com.dataviz.docstogo
Your premium paid app is restored
Optional: If you've already upgraded and can't access your paid application, you're not out of luck if you've done a nandroid backup.
Nandroid backup your current install.
Wipe, then nandroid restore your previous backup containing the installed & paid Docs2Go app.
Perform Part 1 above
Wipe, then nandroid restore newest backup.
Perform Part 2 above
NOTE: This works on my rooted Froyo. This should not be required with a stock phone with OTA update.

My copy of Documents to Go, installed under 2.1, continues to work fine under the stock, non-rooted 2.2, FWIW.

Good news. Rooted and coming from other ROMS, you will lose it if you wipe to make sure the new ROM works correctly. I'll update the guide.

Awesome guide my friend. 6 more days till I order my N1 =)

[Q] Need some HD2 CWM help!

Ok, I really screwed up my phone badly and I am hoping someone can help me out. Basically, my original goal was to change the Radio because it keeps making static noise when someone calls me or I call someone. Anyways, I tried changing it but when I went into the BootLoader (Tri color) screen and USBed it. The CustomRUU.exe still didn't recognize it. So I just gave up and was like I'll deal with the noise...
Now, I saw that tyween released a new patch. I plan on installing it like my normal plan was which was, Boot AD NAND, which launches into CWM and then I do back up, install zip , restore old stuff. Pretty simple.
ANYWAYS, the issue is, when I did it this time, some error about NAND file failed or something along those lines so what I did when I googled the solution was to install WMC 6.5 onto my computer which now recognized the MAGDLR device (phone) when I did the option USB Flasher. Once opening USB Flasher, I installed this (http://www.multiupload.com/LVJEZV8MZV) and it seemed everything works.
Problem is, when I boot with the Boot AD NAND, it boots with the new tyween but all my data that I had before was lost. I tried to see what the issue was, but when I go into Boot AD NAND, it loads the ROM; NOT CWM like it used to, instead CWM is booted under the option Boot AD SD card option. If I look at my micro SD card:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can see that all my previous files are still there.
Basically, my issues are:
1) How do I get CWM to load when I select the Boot AD NAND?
2) How do I reverse everything and hopefully get my data back, I was hoping to have a backup from the clockwork recovery folder but my hopes aren't high, just hoping that my partition of the new ROM didn't over-write the old one which means I can delete it and hopefully still have my old stuff.
For those who read everything, thanks for doing so and I hope you can all help me =/

Willing to donate to anyone that can help. =/

1.)CWM will not load under Boot AD NAND EVER!!
MAGLDR 1.3 had CWM built in under option 8. AD RECOVERY, you do not need it under BOOT AD SD.
2.)Unless you did a backup in CWM of your old ROM, there is no way to restore your data. If you did a backup, go into CWM, choose backup/restore, advanced restore, then choose and reboot after.

[How to] Enable selection of 2G or 3G (NEED HELP)

I discovered this as I was following someone else instructions that didn't quite work and then messing up my phone to where my "com.android.phone" was failing but I was able to find the way for it to so I do not take full credit for this at all and if this has been known I do apologize. This mod does require root explorer (or similar app) and you need to be rooted.
1a. open root explorer and go to system/etc/motorola/com.android.phone/defaults.xml
1b. Long old "open in text editor" change "" to true
2a. Back out to root of phone then data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs and repeat step "1b" on "_has_set_default_values.xml" and " Settings.xml"
2b. Make a copy of " com.android.phone_preferences.xml" within that same folder
2c. Open copy file in text editor and repeat step "1b"
2d. Change file name of copy to " com.android.phone_preferences.xml.bak"
3a. Reboot phone
Now when you go into settings>wireless & networks>mobile networks you will be able to select whether you want 2G, 3G, or automatic which selects 4G. If anyone has trouble or anything PM me and I'd be more than happy to walk you through.
Oh and this should work on froyo and GB
*********************************
Looks like this does open the ability to select 2G or 3G selecting either or does nothing. I will continue to look into these files to see if I can make this work
*********************************
I got this far but now Im stuck. The selection can be made but the actual band change isn't occurring. If anyone much have some insight let me know and I'll update the OP.

Thanks for sharing.

But does this give you options in your power control widget?

Since the power control widget is a built in app this tweak unfortunately does not affect it. And since my knowledge is nowhere near a devs I wouldn't be able to make a rom with a widget that supports this mod.

How do I know if I'm really on 2G?

Hi, I have already changed its. But when I reboot the phone. All file in data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs are return to the original.
Can you suggest to me for solve this?
Thanks,

Sorry guys I just edited my instructions. You need to edit the .bak file for "com.android.phone_preferences.xml" because the system auto resets to the .bak file for this one so you're tricking it into reseting into the modded file

Thanks, I'll try it.

I too struggled a lot to find how to enable this and i installed navalynt's πCRUST v0.3 rom couple of days ago which had this feature enabled, so maybe it has been mentioned somewhere. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

It works on atrix 2.
Does this has permanent effect?
Thanks

[6039x] Install TWRP easily even if you are with your phone to the latest version

(btw im quite noob at this, i just found that as a solution to the problem. btw, sorry for bad english, im 2sleepy and trying to help)
1st: if you break your phone, dont blame it on me. i have done it and it gets tottaly worth it, just sharing knowledge
so have a nice tutorial
So, im Bernardo, from Brazil and 'bout somedays ago ive been trying to install TWRP.
Apparently my ADB-Drivers didnt get totally recognized and it made it impossible.
Oh, almost forgot, you certainly will need a rooted phone. I've used KingRoot, you can find it here. Its an one-touch-apk root. Try it one or two times. It is pretty simple.
Okay, lets go and solve this **** off. Youll need an apk and an image. Just it. Ill use Rashr, but maybe it isnt the better. I dont really know. It just work it out. You can find at Play Store
Fine. Now you have the app to install your custom recovery. But... youll need the custom recovery. Easy too. Youll find the .img right here (big thanks to petrov.0 for the img!)
Okay, now move it to your phone sd\internal storage. Easy too.
Fine, the most difficult steps are in here. Believe me. Open the Rashr and youll find something like that:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Ok, so, click in your first option, it maybe its like: Choose image of Recovery, idk, im using in Portuguese.
Then, you should find a menu just like this one:
Okay. Before you search for your img, make yourslef confortable with this app. I dont know why this hasnt a confirmation of what you're doing. So, take extra care. Lets go on.
Find and click in your .img (that you've downloaded from petrov.0 topic, another thanks m8)
And nooooow..... You should have it flashed. Reboot it on recovery (4th option).
Its just that. And this is how you enter in recovery mode:
Turn off the device
Press and hold Volume UP key + Power Key about 10 seconds
Release all key when you see Android System Recovery
Use touch to control... everything.
If you like it, pls like it and the petrov.0 post too.
So, i hope that it help you guys. Thanks for petrov.0 again and some friends that help me with it. Sorry for bad english again, its my first post though.
Good luck.
Seeya soon.
