I have a DX with Version.2.3.151.MB810.Verizon.en.US, rooted.
1) My phone keeps trying to force me to update, and it then fails the update. I rooted my phone and deleted (no backup) several pieces of bloatware. I put blockbuster and amazon mp3 back on from the marketplace, but I can't find CityID or DLNA there. Can I update to 2.3.340?
2) I do not know how to make a failsafe backup of everything in the event that I totally screw stuff up. I've been looking through posts for hours, and have seen people suggest backing up a million times, but I cannot find out how to do that. Can anyone link me to something showing me how to back up my phone, and how to flash that backup back on?

I just downloaded the programs I am missing, and I cannot instal the DLNA stuff. I am assume it is because the odex stuff isn't there, and I can't put the odex stuff in the app folder because it is write protected. How can I change the permissions on the app folder?

If you flash this file through bootstrap recovery, then you will be on the latest OTA and ready to go.

It says coming from a non blur rom will surely boot loop your phone. Is liberty non blur?

Okay, so I can download that file, flash it from recovery, and have an updated phone. It says to make a backup, how do I do that? Would that backup be another .zip file to flash? If I do back up my phone, update it with the maderstcok file, and if it screws up, I would be able to simply go into the recovery and use the backup zip to fix everything?
If you have DX Bootstrapper, open up that app, select bootstrap recovery, wait for the "Success" message, then select reboot recovery.
Your phone will reboot into the bootstrap menu... Use the volume keys to go down to backup/recovery and select that with the camera button. You will get another menu, and just select backup using the volume and camera keys....
The phone should now spend a few minutes backing up... when its done, use the power key to back out to the main menu, and then install the .zip.....
If the install screws up your phone, then boot into bootstrap recovery using any of the methods, go down to backup/recover, and select recover.. There should only be one file, and its the time-date that you did the backup.... Select that, then "yes" and let it do its thing.... Your phone will be back to the exaCT condition you backed it up in..... including any unread text messages.... enjoy
You all are amazing. Thanks a million times!
I updated my phone with maderstock, and it works.
The problem is that I now cannot root my phone again, and am stuck with all of the bloatware. Can anyone help with this? I cannot download z4root through the market (will not show up in Market), and when I download it through a browser, it won't work.
and the phone keeps trying to update, and telling me that the download failed.

download the .apk from a computer and then transfer it to you computer via USB cable.
Hi,
I have MT4G unlocked with S-OFF.
When I installed ROM Manager I get a message that it can be proceed to backup my phone, since it's not rooted.
If I have S-OFF, it doesn't mean that my phone in rooted?
When I open my device with power+L Volume I can't see the option that I can NANDORID or ROM Manager in the menu.
Please advice.
S-OFF means - the bootloader doesn't protect internal memory, and you can actually flash things.
Rooted means - you have root privileges in your OS.
Download Visionary APK, run it and select "temp root". You'll gain temporary root.
If you want to remain on stock OS - select "perm root" afterwards.
If you want to change the ROM anyway - just run ROM manager with temp root, flash the recovery, and go from there.
I apologize in advance and assure you im not trying to hijack your thread but I've tried this several times but can't get the recovery to start up once I reboot I just get the phone icon with the triangle and exclamation point and I've tried every method of rooting that is stickied in this forum!!

that means clockwork didn't either:
install at all
or install correctly
in either case, reinstall it.
Redownload ROM Manager if you have to first, then run it and install clockwork manager. If the program works it should list your phone, then hit it and it should say "Successful!"

Hello everybody. It looks like someone gave me an almost dead phone; x8 without a launcher.
I don't know how he managed to delete it but when i power on the phone, it only shows the notification bar with signal and battery. everything else is just "gone".
So, how can I make it work again ? the phone is unrooted and the menu is inaccessible to me ...
Thanks in advance.

You can just repair it with PCcompanion or flash stock ROM with flashtool.

Have you tried to make a flashable zip with a launcher like launcher pro?
maybe there is no launcher app, if you install one via ADB Shell or Flashable ZIP you can maybe solve this

install or move to /sistem/app and make the permisions
you can use X10FlashTool to install any launcher (not move it to system/app)
install any launcher and then install root explorer, use root explorer, copy the file to system/app, fix the permission like this:
V V

Don't want to root? Download Update Service from SE and install it. After that, open it and do the steps. Dont forget to backup your data!
Say thanks button if i helped you
I've had this problem one. Just follow the PC Companon instructions and you'll be fine, trust me!
Sign in your Google account.Enter market.Install any launcher.Wait for phone to receive and install.Press HOME on phone.Choose launcher.
how do you wan to add google account if you can't launch anything ?
I meant enter market through PC.
Does this phone have a custom recovery and ROM? If so just flash the recovery in fastboot from a PC and then use recovery to flash a rom.
Boot phone in to fastboot, plug it in to the computer, open command prompt(assuming you have SDK set-up) and navigate to the recovery.img path and type
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery.img)
Then use the recovery to flash your ROM.
I did the same thing to my last phone. Factory data reset with no launcher in system. Find it hard to believe its not rooted.

Just download a Launcher .apk, and install it with "adb install 'Launchername'.apk

Install Luncher.apk or Flash it to stock with FlashTool
The Web market solution seems to be the simplest one. Install ADW or launcherpro though it.

I didnt get this right..
Do you want to know if your phone is still rooted? If yes please follow these steps under:
Open terminal app. your prompt should be $. Type in "su" and hit Enter. If prompt changes to #, you are rooted. If you get "Access denied", you are not.

If you took the 6.3 update you will have to root again download root checker click verify root if it comes up with red writting your not rooted if if comes up green you somehow retained root although unlikely

Also if you no longer have the su app, then you no longer have root access.

Hi all hope ye can help. I attempted, unsuccessfully, to root my I9505 using the CF auto root method as described on this forum. It appeared to be successful on Odin but when the device rebooted i noticed thatb the red android didnt appear and that no apps could get root access. I followed Chainfires advice that states that manually rebooting the device into recovery would initiate the process. When i attempt to reboot into recovery (using the three button method) the phone device vibrates to acknowledge turning on however the screen stays black. It remains like this for quite some time until i let go of the buttons where it will vibrate again before switching off. Has anybody any ideas in how to rectify this?? (Rebooting into recovery from ROM manager causes the app to freeze)
EDIT: While attemptimg manual reboot into recovery, the splash screen appears with tiny blue writing and the screen then goes blan

Thanks for your quick reply. I have downloaded both apps and attempted what you have suggested. The superuser app can update but is unable to get root access while TB looks for root rights. In the process of restoring the firmware through kies and will try afresh
I've managed to boot into recovery only using the three-button combo.
