I've flashed pre-update SBF and am only able to aqquire root while using SuperOneClick. Before that, when I try using files such as Adeo or GingerBlur I keep getting an error that says either device cannot be found or unable to chmod psneuter such as when i'm trying to use the retain root files. Am I missing something? I've checked environment variables to ensure that they're working, that usb debug is on, and thaty connections are good. What stumps me the most is that my first attempt at installing Gingerblur and Webtop MOD worked with no issues. I only restored back to SBF because i wanted the update with root but right after flashing to SBF, I tried bat files and i get an error message. I've yet to see any post on here that has an answer to this issue please help because if I can't get this to work there'll be no reason for me to keep the Atrix. Thanks to everyone in advance!
I've had SO many problems hacking my atrix.. and have managed to fix them all through this forum so I completly understand your frustration. The main thing I did that fixed everything, was to delete all previously downloaded mod files, then re download them all and place them at the root of your C drive. I'm assuming your using Windows.. None of the install.bat files worked for me until I moved them there..
Hello, friend. Thanks for the quick response. I tried what you recommended but am having the same issue. It doesn't make sense right now. I haven't added anything new to my PC nor have I installed any new programs. All i did was flash SBF to attempt to utilize retain root and then update to new version however my device cannot be detected. If anyone can help out it would be much appreciated.
Try putting the USB connection in mass storage mode. If your computer wants to find drivers, let it. Then give the script a whirl.

Hello.
This is my first post so first off I would like to say thank you to the members of XDA because I have been helped a great deal in the past by simply reading some of the posts on this forum.
That being said, I have a problem that I could not find the answer to after hours of searching.
I am trying to Debrand/Root my Rogers X10a using the Exploid method
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7490733#post7490733
After I enter my Device ID into the appropriate file, I ran RootX10a_v2.cmd as instructed. However, once I try to run step 1 i get the following message:
"unable to access jarfile X10flash.jar"
Ive tried connecting the phone in flash mode to different USB ports and using different Device IDs however nothing has worked.
Any ideas?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I have just the thing for you matey. I can't post a link sorry but google search for Universal Androot and download and install it on your phone.
It allows to you 1 click root or unroot your device without any fuss and should allow you to root it when 2.1 is released as it contains the superuser files for 1.5 / 1.6 and 2.0 - 2.2.
I am using it and it works brilliantly. Hope this helps

Welcome to xda! the answer is in the forum but i can't remember where.
Set up the path to the sdk tools in your environment variables.
Cheers

Thanks for the responses.
steve- are you sure that the universal androot works with the x10? another concern is that i also wanted to debrand my phone to get rid of rogers bloatware so how would I solve that issue if I can't access the x10flash.jar?
gavriel- sorry. could you explain in a little more detail what you said? i don't quite understand what you mean.
Thanks!
The one click root seems simple enough.
My problem now is with debranding.
Ive tried the method where you switch the files in SEUS (ive also tried PC Companion) just before it installs onto your phone and that has not worked. It says every time that the installation has failed.
Does anyone have any other ideas as to how I can debrand my phone?
Thanks!
For sure. I may be wrong but ill explain it as I understand it.
Basically when your PC is trying to use a jar file it looks in a particular area. I'm not sure where it looks though. Obviously your jar file isn't in that directory or you wouldn't get that error. So, by adding it as an environment variable it will look in the directory u added for that file.
The environment variables is found somewhere in the system settings. I can't remember where. Once you have found it you should find the path to the jar you are trying to access. Copy that path and paste it and the end of the environment variables. Don't erase anything that's in there. If need be seperate that path from the one before with a ; (semicolon). Save it and try running the jar again. It should work.
Good luck and hopefully it helps.

It means that Java can't find the X10flash.jar file. Do you have that file in the same directory as DeviceID.txt? Also, do you have the latest version of 32-bit Java installed?
To solve my debranding problems I had to use the 32 bit update 20, not 21 (which is the latest) and you need the jdk and the jre, hope that helps

So I as working on theming the Adeo ROM and must have messed something up. I didn't think it had to do with the framework files I had pushed so I did a factory reset to clear off all the 3rd party apps from the phone.
Well, since that reset, I can't access the phone in ADB, settings FC's, Market FC's, and I can't download/install an APK because of the security restrictions.
The phone is "functional", I can place/receive calls/sms and use the browser. USB to the PC works for everything except getting ADB access. I verified I can get it to recognize for RSDLite and for Fastbook so I figure using one of those methods should (eventually) provide me an avenue to get my phone 100% functional again.
Does anyone happen to have or know where I could find signed files for Fastboot to replace the entire /system partition or an SBF file to flash the phone back to stock? Or possibly any other solutions?
Also, before I get flamed as a n00b who broke a phone, I've worked on over a dozen different Android handsets and I was well aware I was working without a safety net. This is NOT my primary phone so if I need to I can patiently wait for an SBF to leak. I'm just checking to see if anyone knows any solutions already so I can get back to theming.
Sounds to me like a permissions issue. I had that after I fiddled with the contacts database to unrestrict pictures from third party apps. I would double check any files you modified and make sure they got chmod'ed back to what they should be.
You will have to somehow access the Settings to re-enable adb. When you did a factory reset, you disabled USB Development (aka adb).
For now the only known way to recover is through adb. No fastboot or signed update.zip for now.

When I lost ADB access because of a hard reset (I think), this is what I did to fix my issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974824
I never lost root after a hard reset so I went to the market and bought root explorer and sqlite editor and copied the adbd to the /sbin folder to fix adb. I then bought sqlite editor and followed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972760 to re-enable side loading of apps. To install apps that I had the apk's for.
I still lose adb after a reset, but I can copy the adbd file to the /sbin folder and adb works again until I reset the phone.
I made a post about losing adb access on the motorola support forums: https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/332307#332307 to see if there were any solutions, but Mark said he would get back to me after trying to reproduce my problem.
I hope this helps.
I think I'm just up **** creek without a paddle for the moment because I can't connect via ADB, the Market force closes, and the security restrictions won't let me side-load any applications via download from the browser. I can't manually add ADB because I have no way to move the files to where they need to be.
Thanks for the replies! airbillion, I'm following your thread at the Motorola Owners' Forum to!

No problem. That sucks, I'm not sure what you can do. Hopefully motorola or someone here will get a sbf soon so we can mess with our phones and have a way to fully recover. I hope you get it working again. Good luck!

Requires USB Debugging to be enabled, but I have no access to enabled it due to Settings force closing and no ADB access in pre-boot.
Could you download Android Terminal Emulator 's apk to your sdcard, then install it using a apk install you may already have that work.
If you can get any terminal access from your phone, do a su, then launch /sbin/adbd. This should hopefully give you adb shell access. Without needing to enable USB debugging.

It won't let me install a downloaded APK because of the security restriction.
If you have an SD card, try booting into recovery with an update.zip on the file.
I can get into the recovery, but the update.zip file needs to be signed. I created one that will push the original copies of the framework files I was working with but it won't install because it's signed with test keys. The stock recovery 3e needs update.zip files signed with the manufacturer release-keys which only Motorola has.
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/46051?tstart=30
I started a thread on the official Motorola Owner's Forum in hopes I can find a full factory restore method for the OS. It's unfortunate that unlike HTC and other manufacturers who release full wipe RUU files Motorola has chosen to keep their restore files internally.
http://www.4shared.com/file/7YXo_gmO/update.html
That's the link to the update.zip file I was trying to use that fails because it's only signed with test-keys.

Hey, apparently I can't post in the dev forums yet so here is my question. I have after a week of experimentation gotten webtop2sd to work with a few different set ups on my Atrix with lapdock. However, here is the issue:
I have the latest and greatest Aura ROM Debloated version installed on my (obviously) rooted and unlocked Atrix. I have the webtopmod installed. I have busybox in the correct location. I have a working webtop with working configurator and lxterminal and all that goodness. Problem is when I run the webtop2sd program so I can move the image to the sdcard, the program does the partition part just fine, but consistently fails the file copy portion of the process and aborts. I have no idea what to do. Is it possible to manually copy the webtop image to the section of the sdcard set up for it and if so how?
Thanks ahead guys. Oh and Kudos to Sogarth for making this possible!
well the problem seems to have fixed itself. Though I have no idea why. I kept rebooting and trying and eventually the copying worked. Now have an unlocked jauntu desktop Thanks so much to everyone who posts in this forum regularly. now off to figure out the next part...
Hey all,
I was recently messing around with more than I probably should have and I have borked my touchscreen by modifying the touchscreen.cfg files in system/etc/touchscreen/21 and /22
Is there anyway I can restore the original files? I tried applying an update via Android Recovery with the correct files in it, but it will not let me due to the digital signature.
My phone powers on fine but has no touch screen ability. I can't get past the lockscreen. I am running CM7 on Droid X2.
Thanks!
Sorry for being that guy, haha
Just sbf w/ the leak 234 then root & bsr to restore your previous nand' bu. OK?
See my signature link post 3 for Q&A.
you can use the ADB push command to dump files on the device.
Thanks for the help guys. I was hoping to avoid SBFing which I was able to accomplish with ADB.
Spent a good hour or so playing around with commands and getting a "read-only file" error until I saw a random post somewhere that mentioned that you have to remount the phone with adb before you can do anything in shell.
But in the end I was able to push new touchpad.cfg files and now my phone has 8-point multi touch!
Thanks again
Danny
I am using a RCT6573W23, I have rooted it using Kingo and editing the ADK file... Everything went well, and I had installed SU and Busybox, Developement was on, but I don't think it remains on... I did some build.prop tweaks, and when messing with the LCD I messed up my system, disabling it from booting up.
I boot into Recovery just fine, and I DID BACKUP AND HAVE my original build.prop file, however, good ol' RCA doesn't provide any "files" for support at all, and connecting ADB is "SIDELOAD" only... I've read several places but everyone suggests going INTO recovery, which, I can do, or using ADB, but fail to realize it's sideload issue... I've pushed several files, but every single file is a bad footer, and wrong signature... I'm at a loss... Does ANYBODY have a recovery.zip from their Apollo 8" who could make a backup for me, so that I could sideload an official zip file. I would MUCH appreciate it... Thank you.
I have the same model... you're the only one I've heard of that has successfully rooted this one... is there a way I could get my official stock ROM copied without root?
Rooting it was simple, I believe you can go to settings backup and restore to get a .zip of your stock.. If you could shoot me a copy that'd be great. I can share how it was rooted, although it was super easy to look up.
There's not an option to backup entire system just app files.
What recovery did you use? and did you use the kingo universal rooting tool? And what edits did you have to do to the ADK?
I've successfully rooted but have no way, as of yet, to zip up my ROM. Any thoughts?
Anybody know if xposed framework or clockworkmod will work on this device?
-- Rooting your RCT6573W23 --
Install your USB drivers... If you don't have them, or you can't make your system acknowledge them, use the SDK-Method to fool your computer into reading the correct USB for your device... That method can be found at: addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
Once you've got your drivers, before even plugging in your phone, make sure you have all of these options checked... From the developer's menues: "USB Debugging" "Allow Mock Locations", and in your security & screen lock settings: "Device Administrators", and "Unknown Sources" need to be checked...
Install Kingo from kingoapp.com
NOW, simply plug it in and click root on the pc... It'll install SuperUser and enable you to use just about any feature a rooted device can use, but without flashing roms... Still nice for cheatengine and stuff.
----------- Finished, Now... -------------------
Hmmm, once getting it going how would you go about making a backup that could fix my device? All I can do is adb update, and apparently no zip files have the proper signature. Is there no files that put Rom-to-Zip? I guess even if there were, I'd just need the permissions right to push over my build.prop which they wouldn't be most likely... And I can't nandroid...
I've acheived root and have SU, but Here's no way to make a nandrid without some sort of recovery...

I believe these tablets have the RK3188T chipset, and I found These CWM Recovery images: http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/
I don't have time to mess with it right now but I thought I'd share. I'm going to do some more reading on the subject before trying anything real crazy. Let me know if this works out for you...
Any luck on this? I was hoping to install a mod on this tablet myself
