I Had to take my phone back to sprint today for warrant repair so i ran the stock 1.56.651.2 RUU all was good. Got home and executed these commands
adb push asroot2 /data/local/
adb shell
chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2
/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh
And it spit out
$ /data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh
[+] Using newer pope_inode_info layout
Opening: /proc/752/fd/3
SUCCESS: Enjoy the shell.
#
Then I TYPED
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/bin9:
cat sh > su10:
chmod 4755 su
exit
exit
adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img /sdcard
adb shell reboot
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/
flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
It Returned to root # and then typed
reboot recovery
It did not boot into recovery any way i tried
So i went to execute the RUU 1.29.651.1 and now it gives me a error
Error[140] Bootloader version Error.
I checked my bootloader version in Hboot and it shows 1.41.00
Now im stumpped I cant get my root back and i cant flash a recovery ne ideas...........Please dont rip my ass for not searching i tried but nothing i saw pertained exactly to the cdma Hero.
once you run the 1.56 ruu you can't run the 1.29 ruu, as it overwrites the bootloader with a new updated one. bootloaders don't like to be downgraded. you are stuck with the 1.56 software. just run the 1.56 ruu again? why not?
Possibly a bad recovery flash. Try reflashing the image, maybe with the 1.6.2 RA Image.

What else do I need to know?
The phone is still rootable. I tested it successfully using the auto-rooter in the pre-kitchen.
Fresh ROM still works just fine (as should any 1.56 based rom)
You will not be able to use the 1.29 RUU after this one, but I don't know of any reason that you would want to
Although some img's in the RUU have different dates than the original it appears that they are identical other than system.img
You don't need to run this unless you are trying to return your phone to stock. You won't get anything special from running it.

what? no. apps2sd is rom based it has nothing to do with recovery...
Sorry im still a bit on the newb side. J dog I didnt read far enough. That very well could of been a mistake that could of briked my phone. I i was doing something else.
You just taught me a major lesson. READ>READ>READ
But when you read the 1.6.2 forum it says in gigantic red letters This recovery is NOT yet fully compatible with the new apps2sd method!
Any i just realized jdog your not but 40 miles from me!!!!!
yep, well actually I'm a little north-east of kansas city, it's about 83 miles to topeka from here. (give or take)
read then read some more. then read more. anything you could possibly run into someone has done before.
you don't want to be in a hurry when you're flashing. also don't drink and flash. if you do make sure you have a designated nandroid-er.
when talking about not compatible with the new a2sd method, they mean the new version in cyanogen mods, of mounting the ext partition to /sd-ext as opposed to /system/sd, the only rom it could have any effect on here at the moment would be darchdroid, but I believe darch may have modded it in the port to keep it working on the hero's. The amon-ra recovery 1.7.0 supports cyan's new method, although I am not honestly sure if it supports the current method at the same time..
edit: basically, stick with 1.6.2 or godspeed recovery. try flashing again, I recommend the godspeed recovery as it runs faster (for me anyways), plus the thread will have instructions of how to flash.

Your Forgived> How are you stupid
saw some articles about this but they weren't this specific...
so I have a Nexus One 2.2.1 stock, rooted with rageagainstthecage thing...
will my phone update to 2.3 as-is, or will I have to unroot the rageagainstthecage method first?
from 2.2 to 2.2.1 I had to uninstall Universal Androot (useless anyways) and reinstall some missing APKs that I had deleted (Amazon MP3 and GenieWidget)
Don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty sure that you will not get OTA automatically. However, as soon as it's out, it will be posted here and you can flash it manually. You will loose root though.
thanks, I hope you're right. Losing root is no biggie (hopefully a nice easy root method will come up shortly)
If anything it will be here before you get the OTA anyway.
Atleast that's what happened with Froyo.
Someone will logcat the address then DL it, then it will get mirrored all over XDA
Once it's here on XDA the flashing will begin long before the OTA arrives
question
I had CM6.1 Nightlies on my N1 with Clockwork, now I went back to stock recovery, stock FRG83 and I have my bootloader unlocked.
I'm wondering if the OTA will come automaticaly (probably gonna install the "XDA" version before OTA even starts going around)?
And I'm wondering if anybody knows what is supposed to be the criteria for the OTA to come automaticaly?
I was rooted with 2.2 and got the OTA for 2.2.1.
As far as I know you need a stock rom (rooted or otherwise) with a locked bootloader.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
are you certain about the locked bootloader?
Its kinda pointless to go back to stock and such if you like the CM nightlies, its what I run, because the first phones to receive the OTA will be the "Holiday" Nexus one, based on imei. It will be up on xda with many mirorrs and versions shortly after! If you remener froyo it will be like that. So just look here for the update.zip
Just my two cents
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Yeah I know I was just wondering about the update process, requirements, etc.
I love CM6.1, I'll probably go back to it when I'm fed up with Ginger there was another reason to go back to stock and that's that I still had ere27 stock backup and it was time to update the stock ROM to frg83 and back that up for the future
It doesn't matter if you have an unlocked bootloader or not, nor does it matter if you have rooted. You must have a stock recovery as the ota will use it to install, if it doesn't find it the installation will fail. Previous updates were available here for rooted users before the update went ota
i also was rooted but had a stock bootloader and recovery... got the 2.2.1 OTA. lost root though.
now for my question... i dont care if i lose root for gingerbread but since i rooted.. SU is in my rom and i cant delete it. i just dont want something on my phone that i cant use.
will the gingerbread update bring me to full stock gingerbread? or would SU be still stuck there. just asking since i rooted after i got froyo so im not sure.
If memory serves, with an OTA su will be removed, but Superuser.apk will remain.
Anyways, if you try this app, you should be able to regain root with ease, even if it's only to bin the files you don't want.

yeah i got root back because of that app! my main grip was superuser.apk was still in the phone without SU access. now im back to rooted i just left it there.
so basically if i get gingerbread and lose root superuser.apk will still be left in the phone? any thoughts? if so ill just delete it then install it back somewhere i could delete it if i lose root again.
I believe so, yes.
Bin it before updating to be 'safe', I guess.

is there an easy way to do it... say just delete it via astro file manager? this is the tutorial i used to root in the first place..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736271
.. lost root then i used the "one click root" that first appeared in the market, then lost root again after 2.2.1 then used visionary.
theres a lot more in the phone that was put in there by rooting (like busybox right?)... but i guess superuser.apk is the visible one since it shows on the app drawer so i wanna remove it from the phone and just install it via the market.
ASTRO can't do it as far as I'm aware, but it's easy from ADB shell or a terminal:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm /system/bin/busybox
and it's goodbye root (and busybox since you mentioned it).

So.... I received my replacement Fascinate from Asurion this morning and I need to send my broken (rooted) one back
Should I unroot and restore it back to Stock prior to shipping?
If so, is that an ODIN avail to get to ED01 Stock? I saw the thread to go to DL09 and then do the OTA to ED01... But I really dont want to do that.
Yes, put it back to stock. If you already have the ED01 modem, you can use the Odin package I put together to get back to rooted stock, then you'd just need to unroot and you'd be back at ED01 stock.

Appreciate this...
How do you actually unroot?
Remove the following files:
/system/bin/su
/system/xbin/su
/system/app/Superuser.apk
Here are commands to use to unroot:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/xbin/su
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
reboot
Or you could use Odin and flash one of the all-in-one stock ROMs out there. Will completely wipe out any trace of having been rooted.

Hi,
I'm trying to root my TF and flash a custom rom.I've rooted and flashed a different rom for my moto phone before,but root+recovery for TF seems a bit more complex for me...
I'm gonna do that according to this thread:
[GUIDE] STOCK (8.2.3.9/8.2.3.13/8.4.4.5) to 3.1 (PRIME! v1.4) + Overclock!
However,I noticed that this tutorial skiped the steps below:
Code:
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
Which are shown in:
[UPDATED][Video] How To Root Transformer & Downgrade Honeycomb 3.1
Does it mean it's unnecessary to do the steps above if i'm going to flash a custom rom?If so,will the apps that require root work well on the flashed custom rom?(e.g. Using Root Explorer to modify system files)
Thanks in advance.
I'm confused on what you're asking. Why would you not want Superuser.apk is there a specific reason why you don't want it?
And you don't need to use that GUIDE anymore, its outdated. Use NVFlash. It's a one-step process to become rooted and use PRIME 1.4

It should work for all ROMs. Just use the instructions provided on that website. When you're done with those steps, you'll be rooted + on PRIME 1.4. If you wish to change ROMs, then just boot into Clockwork Recovery (already preinstalled!, steps to go into it: shut tablet off, vol down + pwr up) and wipe data/factory/dalvik flash the .zip.
And you're done! It's easy just like that. Much easier than downgrading to 3.0.0 then rooting and doing it yourself.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123429 is the thread on XDA for NVFlash. There is a video included in there so it'll help resolve any problems you might face. Although, you shouldn't really, its very straight forward.
Thanks again!
I'm watching that video right now...
So before I updated to 2.3.4, I used gingerbread to root. Updated to 2.3.4 and lost root.....hence lost wifi teathering. Can't seem to find what to use to root now and I need wifi teathering wifi ASAP...no internet at location...only via ATRIX....need laptop on internet. Any help would be great!

try to force close your browser app, and then redownload.
it's 8MB, you shouldn't have any problem. make sure you're downloading preinstall.zip from the second post in that thread, and not the sbf from the first post.
then follow the instructions in the second post. eval-'s method is extremely easy and works on every atrix.

That shouldnt matter at all. I mean it clearly says For AT&T users right at the top of the first post before it gives the root info.
Check out RootzWiki. They have information there as well on how to root the Atrix after the Gingerbread update.
Thanks guys. But I think the problem at hand is not being able to dl that zip. About 2seconds after I start the dl...it fails. How to force close?
open up task manager, and close out the browser app. i have to do this sometimes when my downloads aren't working correctly

To the OP, try downloading the Dolphon browser, I've found it to be helpful at times when the other browser doesn't want to play nice.
Finally I was able to dl the reinstall.img via opera (dolphin failed too). Ran the fastboot reinstall preinatall.img, it worked, then fastboot reboot. Ran root checker....no root.

Did you follow the last part of the instructions?
after fastboot & reboot, type in adb ("adb shell") or terminal emulator, exactly:
/preinstall/dosu
/bin/mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /preinstall/su /system/bin/
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
PATH=/system/bin:$PATH pm install /preinstall/Superuser.apk
Adb shell
$ /preinstall/dosu
I get : bash: groups: command not found
[email protected]:/#
Need to be out in fastmode to do the above maybe?
Nope, device not found. I did have to goto c: to Adb shell.....hrmmmm
Any suggestions before I add on a teathering plan?
i got the same command not found, i just went along with the rest of the process like normal and it rooted for me.
try that, if that doesn't work try /preinstall/su instead of /dosu
