Things you need:
Windows computer
Android SDK (on the root of your C:\ drive)
A phone running Android (duh)
Your SDcard inseterd into the phone
USB charge/data cable that came with the phone
A few mins of your time
The purpose of this is to show you how to create a text file listing the applications in the '/system/app' directory. This is where the apk and obex(program) files are located. There are so many in there it's nice to have a list so you can pick and choose which ones you want to remove OR move to your SDcard incase you want them later.
When I downloaded the SDK from Androids site I just extracted it and renamed it sdk and placed it in the root of my C: drive. Open a CMD window or terminal and change to 'c:\sdk\tools' directory.
With the phone powered off plug it into the computer with the USB cable. Hold the POWER button + VOL DOWN while the phone turns on. Choose RECOVERY, when it appears, with the VOL DOWN key and tap POWER. Again with VOL DOWN choose 'partition menu' and press in the OPTICAL MOUSE button. Using the VOL DOWN key you want to highlight '-mount /system' and
'-mount /sdcard' using the OPTICAL MOUSE button to choose each one so they should change to '-unmount /system' and '-unmount /sdcard'.
At this point focus your attention back to the terminal or command window that should be sitting at the 'c:\sdk\tools' prompt. Type in 'adb shell' and press enter. Leave off the ' in the command. Once it connects to your phone change directory to the '/system/app' folder by typing this out...
#cd /system/app/ <hit enter>
Now type
#ls > /sdcard/applist.log
That's it! You should now have a log file on your sdcard. It's so much easier than reading the screen and making a quick decision to remove something that might be bugging you now when you MIGHT need it later. Hope this helped someone!
Once the command is finished (it only takes a second or two) unmount the SDcard and /system folder and reboot your phone.

Thank you. I thought it would be useful to some. After seeing 80+ have viewed this threat I feel it may have been a waste of time but perhaps someone will learn something from it.

I'm using Vista sadly if that makes any difference ?
HI! I understand you reading this part:
Section 3: Running ADB from Command Prompt
Running Command Prompt:
Windows XP: Select Start or Tap the Windows Key on your Keyboard, select "Run" and type "CMD" then hit "Enter".
Windows Vista/Win7: Select Start or Tap the Windows Key on your Keyboard, select the search box on the left and type "cmd" then hit "Enter".
- Also, Mikey1022 has reminded me to add the "ADB" directory path as a system variable in windows...
To do this right-click on "My Computer" and select Properties. Next select the Advanced tab(Advanced Settings in Vista) then select Environment Variables.
Click "New" under System Variables and add the following:
Variable: adb
Value: C:\android-sdk-windows-x.x_rx\tools "x = version you are using"
The Value is WRONG!!! It has changed. It should be C:\android-sdk-windows-x.x_rx\platform-tools\
Dont forget to x10christian

are you in the same folder that the FASTBOOT.EXE is in when you run the command???
Make sure your running CMD as administrator. You can tell by the path that shows when cmd is launched. If its a regular user account it will path to something like: c:\users\"your username"\
If your running as admin it will path to something like: c:\windows\system32

Take your fastboot files and images and put them in a folder on the root of your C: drive... I use one named phone
Then you should be able to open your Command line and type
cd c:\phone
That will change you to the Phone directory you made in the root of C: earlier
If you want to make sure you can type DIR and it should list all the files you have in there.
At this time you can start using your fastboot commands and it will recognize them.

Another handy thing is to open the folder then hold the shift key and then right click. You'll have an "Open command window here" option.
Yep I use that all the time...
used both the suggestions in here and still having trouble,can do the root of c folder,use the dir command see it is all there but the cd C:\fastbootpackage brings the same response again.Can anyone see where I am going wrong?Once the command line changes to fastboot what do I need to command?Phone is still attached (as per the guide I am following?)showing 100% phone needs manually rebooted.
I have all latest drivers on win 7 64bit and I am definetely running cmd as an administrator
Also as the third suggestion suggests if I open the cmd box from the folder what is the exact command to use from there?Is there an alternative to doing this as I am beginning to struggle?
Unlock your Bootloader
1. You need to download and install RDS lite on your PC:http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=634879&d=1308872277

This msg will only show if you are in different folder than your fastboot. You don't need to run cmd as administrator. The best thing to do is:
copy those 3 files (AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, fastboot.exe) to your main c:\ (do not put to the folder)
Run cmd and type "cd \" this will move you to c:\
Now type fastboot and press enter - you should see various commands that can be used. (your mobile doesn't need to be connect to your pc to see this)
Now you can continue with unlocking. If you applied ihop.sbf already then startt from step 18.
I'm 99% sure that you were in the wrong folder.
Thanks very much that last post got it.In fact I would say that is the simplest way I have read so far as far as fastbooting goes.Many thanks.I have been having problems installing tenfars cwm so I will be using the rom manager "official cwm,will using the fastboot-w command be a problem for me do you think?

Don't use the Rom Manager app. It sucks and doesn't work properly. Do things properly.
With XDA forum members there's no reason to do things half assed. Use your hole ass, dammit.

Well if you came that far then try to install tenfar's recovery, download this file :recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.zip Unzip and move recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img to your c:\....Now reboot your phone and enter to fastboot mode. In cmd go to c:\ and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img" and then "fastboot reboot" DONE
If you have any problems try to download moto-fastboot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=635584&d=1308928440). It's kind of the same thing as fastboot and to be honest I don't know what's the different between both (I think moto-fastboot is designed for 2.3.4 firmware). Extract zip and move moto-fastboot to c:\ and type the same command but instead of fastboot type moto-fastboot. I hope this make sense.
Also it's recommended to delete "install_recovery.sh" which apparently is in /system/etc/ BUT I never managed to find this file and I just ignored this step.
thanks foka, but I have already tried and tried again unsuccessfully to use tenfars cwm.I can install the recovery and delete the sh file all as normal using fastboot and astro.However for some reason there seems to be no way I can get into cwm having flashed it.when I attempt it I dont see the same menu I could scroll through as before.Then I tried a cwm of tenfars that was supposed to flash through rom manager.Again the flash went fine but could not seem to enter recovery mode.I see you installed aura 1.1 didi you flash a radio afterwards?My signal is comnstantly 1 bar.Could you reccomend a uk radio?
Well Ive flashed at&t radio N_01.77.30p which solved battery draining and 1 bar issue. I'm not sure why you can't use cwm recovery...
Sent from Motorola Atrix
What do you mean you don't see the same menu as before? When you hold volume down, power up phone, fastboot, scroll through the list and none of them say Android Recovery?
I was one of those sorry suckers that somehow got my Kindle Fire stuck in TWRP and I couldn't reset the bootmode to normal. ADB wouldn't recognize the Kindle while it was in TWRP no matter what I tried. Here's how I got it booting again.
1. Download Kindle Fire Utility here.
2. Unzip and open a command prompt in the "tools" folder inside of the unzipped kindle fire utility folder. Do this in Windows 7 by double clicking on the KFU folder and then doubleclick on the tools folder. Next find an empty space in the folder and hold down "shift" on your keyboard and then click your right mouse button. Select "Open command window here".
3. Type in this command and hit enter:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
When that properly executes it will say < waiting for device >
4. On the Kindle Fire inside of TWRP select Reboot -> System.
5. During the reboot process the fastboot command will execute and set you back to normal mode. Now type this in your command window on your computer and hit enter:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
That ought to do it for ya.
*edit* Wish I could change the title somehow. I misspelled "recognize"
Thank you!!! it worked perfectly. I think this happened because once in the ICS rom I select to reboot into recovery using Room Manager and got stuck on it (bootmode 5001). Anyway this solved the problem in a blink!
You rock!!!! took me two days to find this post..... ugh
