Put it on the internal sd card in the root folder, then power off. Once off press Vol Up+Power+Home and then flash update.zip.

That was quick, thanks! Gonna try as soon as I flash the FW!

Thanks for this, I'll go ahead and upgrade to JP2

Working on JP2 via update.zip posted by OP.
Thank you.

thanks all

Works well. Thanks!

Thanks for that, how do you flash 2.2 update. Via odin? I've downloaded the firmware but it is asking for password to unzip, does anyone have a password.

And you are certain that you are flashing with this update.zip ? Remember apps like RomManager also puts an update.zip in the root folder, so make sure that you are using the correct update.zip

Tried and not functional on JP2, tested root explorer, auto killer, no root achieved, either by adb or update.zip

Issues with ROM Manager and others

Ok bear with me, this is the only the second phone i have rooted. I am having issues with the rom manager and root explorer.
The rom manager works, it does not force close, but when i ask it to do something like backup or install a rom, it does nothing, litterally i can click something else and same thing, it does nothing. I tried uninstalling and even factory reset. Still dont work.
Also the root explorer, it says "Root explorer has not yet manage to obtain root access. " i get that every time i restart it, same issue.
I have froyo 2.2 and used easy root http://www.unstableapps.com/?p=35

You need they droid x bootstrapper from the market to get into recovery, and titanium backup from market, hit problems & download busybox.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

thanks, i'll get them now and report back.
Now do i put the bootstrap in the root of the sd and use a app installer?

ok, titanium backup said it wont work because the root access failed and after i downloaded busybox it wont install

I'd try the one-click root or and root, both have to be downloaded by pc.if u got the free bootstrap use an app installer.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

still having the same issue, maybe its 2.2? is there a Root ROm?

Yeah, in rom manager. You have to be rooted 2.1. Have you ever flashed a sbf. I'd try unrooting with easy root then using another method
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Almost sounds like the root didn't take properly
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

hey guys, I flashed back to stock and rerooted. Everything works now. Thanks guys,
My only gripe is i dont have flash anymore T_T

Are you on 2.1 or 2.2, you can find flash apk. right here on xda.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

ahh cool. Now what if i use the 2.2 guide on here? Is it the 2.2 or do u think it was the root?

I'd say it was the root. Easiest way to get back to 2.2 would be Rom Manager. Look in download rom,2.1 to 2.2 root. Just make sure you flash the latest recovery in rom manager & the current boot strap which is 1.0.0.3
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

ok i redid everything, went back to 2.2 using all the methods, and i am still having issues, i dont know whats up with this

What method did you use to root. I messed up theming yesterday, had to sbf. Reroot & went back to 2.2 through rom manager. It went fine. What's it doing now?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

dbl post sry

i used one click root. its doing the same thing as last time.
edit-----
I did a google search for a good 15 minutes and found this
1.) Run "adb shell"
2.) Run "/system/xbin/su"
*****Watch your screen for Superuser app to prompt for permission and click "allow" (if you go from $ to # without being asked for permission, continue with the next step
3.) Run "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system"
4.) Run "cp /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su"
5.) Run "chmod 4755 /system/bin/su"
[optional] Run "mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/system /system"

Everything works like a charm! If you root at 2.1 then go to 2.2, this will fix your problem

Flashing bootloader without a computer(rooted)

I've downloaded redbend_ua and the clockwork recovery image. They're both currently on my sdcard's root. I'm trying to copy redbend_ua, but there's no 'cp' command???
I've been a Linux SysAdmin for over 5 years, so I'm comfortable on the command line. Where's cp? Is there an easy way to install bash 3?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I can't link the post with tapatalk, but detailed instructions are in a post labeled "Clockwork recovery no computer method"
By default the cp command isn't included in android... it is included in busybox. There is an app on the market, and the one click roots install it by default. Without busybox the cat command is used as so: cat > .

Wow... I'm embarrassed I didn't try that. I'm usually against piping cats but sfobv that's what is needed.

Question

How to get back to s-on and how do I remove Rom manager permanently as In not being on when I boot my phone like I was never rooted?I want to completely remove all of this

Process for turning S back on[/COLOR]
Download this file and unzip it to /sdcard on your device.
unroot.rar
http://www.mediafire.com/?12oi5elu7v2y8og
md5sum: aad4e64126cf8d92d7e8b5abb48fdadd
Terminal Emulator Method
1. Open up terminal editor on your device.(I prefer this method b/c you can see the output.)
a. Type "su" + enter to gain root privileges.
b. Type "cd /sdcard/unroot" + enter.
c. Type "sh unroot.sh" + enter.
d. Follow the onscreen prompts.
File Explorer Method
2. Open root explorer, sufbs, or some other file browser with root access.
a. Navigate to /sdcard/unroot.
b. Click on unroot.sh and allow it to run. Some file browsers ask permission before they execute scripts.
c. Wait 18 to 20 seconds and reboot your phone into the bootloader to check if S=on.
You now have S=ON again.
Since we opened up the nand to writes you should still retain persistent root privileges.
Hope this makes it all easier for you.
Cheers --grankin01
For everyone that is have trouble writing to the protected areas of the system after following the rooting procedures.
Reboot into Clockwork recovery and choose the mounts and storage option. From there choose mount system (or whichever protected directory you want access to) and click the trackpad. When unmount system shows you have rw access to the /system directory and all of its subs.

Look for PD15IMG.ZIP . It contains the stock rom. Just put that on the root of the sdcard. It will wipe everything. It's on a sticky in the dev forums. You just boot into hboot and follow the on screen promps.
If you are talking about the program then just uninstall it .

ADB help
Hey, just a few questions. I'm brand new to ADB tools.
I got my cmd prompt to show me the serial of my device using adb devices. Im sure this means my adb tools are working. Ive only installed SDB tools and platform tools.
Do I need to download the 2.2 tools?
The problem is when I type in the first cmd i get a operation error.
2nd question is how do I get all of your gps.config code into the cmd prompt. Do I place the file somewhere on my computer for it to be recognized in your second cmd step.
Thanks in advanced.

You can push manually with a file manager. Its in op also.
Also the GPS. Conf is a file.

Why am I getting the operations error anyways? Should I be working off of tools or platform tools?

Ive tried a lot of different ways to get it to work and I think ive gotten to the point where it might be something else other than my commands. I just get a mountperation not permitted. The following is an example of what I typed. The $ sign was created after I typed in adb shell.
1 "adb shell
2 $mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
3 mountperation not permitted"
Tell me I did something wrong.

You need to "su" before you try and mount -_-

I messed around with that for awhile and I think I got a little further. I seem to still get a little stuck after I mount.
1. /android-sdk/platform-tools>adb shell
2. $su
3. #mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
4. mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
5. #
On line 4 the cmd prompt just spits that back out at me and it ends up back at # again. How do I know it mounted and how do I begin the pushing process. My gps.conf file is in my platform-tools folder. Thanks!

Throw me a bone. Im so close! I can feel it!

How do I get gps.conf file?
link in OP just takes me to a page with a lot of text-No download.

Right click and click save as or save link as. It should automatically name it as gps.conf

Minirome, are you simply he'll Benton pushing this thing via adb? If not, and you just want to get your gps to work, copy the thing to your sd card, download es file explorer, and cnp the thing to the proper dir

Haha yes I am pretty bent on using adb. I just wanted to gain some experience with it. I might break down soon...unless someone says something. I think I've made progress.
