Can anyone with a motorola one/XT 1941-4 or any version of the phone make a mmcblk0 copy of their full working phone and post it here, please, that would save a lot of phones, or a backup of the phone, maybe we can flash it via fastboot update.

Hi there
Im new to the forum, but I have tried and wasted hour after hour but I cannot root my G2 which is locked to T-Mobile UK and has the 2.73.110.26 CL#69351 release keys software. This software is impossible as it means that I cannot follow the instructions to root the device (as listed on unlockr.com). This is because I have to downgrade the software to 1.76.110.6 in order for the flashrec software to install. So I downloaded the 1.76.110.6 software (update-hero-t-mobile-1.76.110.6-signed.zip) from this link:-
and followed the instructions here:
The patched recovery image is your gateway to Custom ROM installs and all sorts of cool stuff... here's how to install it onto your device.
- download this file and extract it to your PC or mac
- open a command prompt to the directory containing the extracted files
- type the following commands appropriate to your device / pc...
GSM Hero (a Hero with a SIM card - e.g. the European Hero) on WINDOWS
CODE
adb-windows shell reboot bootloader (wait for device to reboot into bootloader)
fastboot-windows boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img (wait for device to boot into recovery)
install-recovery-gsm-windows.bat
but the when im in the command prompt window i cd to the correct folder where the recovery image is and it the phone goes into the bootloader ok but then it does not recognise the second line which is:
fastboot-windows boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img (wait for device to boot into recovery)
as it says it does not recognise the fastboot command so I cannot follow this method to downgrade either? I am using Windows XP.
I do not have an sd card reader on my pc or a micro sd card to sd adapter so cannot follow the goldcard method either
I just dont know how to install the the update-hero-t-mobile-1.76.110.6-signed.zip file which I downloaded.
Could someone give me a step by step follow through on how i can root my device in basic english so I can understand and root this **** thing before i sell it and buy an iphone?????
Thanks.
u do not need a card reader to do the goldcard. Use your phone in mass storage mode
Follow the link in my sig, i had the same phone with the same ROM, good luck
Many thanks for that guide mate it was excellent and very easily written and very detailed. I will refer this link if I see anyone else with the same issue.
However, I have just flashed the cronos 1.5 image and am running it now but could not partition the sd card as was suggested to do before flashing. I tried to use the guide suggested in your post and managed to make the first partition ext2 with 1024 MB and the 2nd partition fat32 for the rest of the card. But then when I put the ROM image on the card and rebooted into recovery mode in order to flash the cronos ROM, the recovery mode could not find the ZIP file on the card so I had to format the card and remove all partitions and them I put the cronos ROM file on the empty card and rebootted into recovery and flashed the cronos ROM successfully.
But for some reason it does not automatically update my time and date any more even though I have set it up to update automatically and does not find my current location any more?
What benefits do I get by partitioning the card and how do I do this? Also the phone
Also, I just formatted the sd card but when I boot up using the home and power buttons it still boots up into the RA 1.5.2 recovery image so this means the phone is still rooted right, but how does it do this when there is nothing on the sd card or phone? Even if I take out the card can I still get root access by going into recovery mode?
Also is the 1.5.2 recovery the best one or is there a better one out there? If so how do I upgrade the root recovery image?

I have to say, I love that quote,
p.s I have answered your questions in the guide thread
I've followed the post by xboarder56. My phone has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted. I did not receive any errors when running the command: Fastboot flash boot [boot.img path]. I attempted to use QuikSense and BeastMod. I am using windows, but have access to linux if necessary (would prefer to finish this in windows though).
I believe the problem might be that I do not have an sdcard. Also, I did not see any directions relating to copying files TO the phone, and as such did not. Does loading the boot.img load these files onto the phone or is this something that I need to be doing (also, how do you do that? Guessing I will need linux for that since I don't have an sdcard and will need to write to the device while windows can't read it).
You need a SD card, but xboarder is working on a recovery that doesn't require one
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using XDA App
I thought it might be as much. I ordered an sdcard and it should be here tomorrow. Do I need to perform any additional steps (such as copying files somewhere) or are the steps I am already performing going to be enough?
xboarder said the new recovery works with internal memory as well so shouldn't be a card problem
So I got my SD card and copied all the files to the root of it and performed the flash again. Still nothing. Where should I be copying the files to?

Let's backtrack.
What recovery do you have currently?
Stock, xboarders recovery (identifiable with the X in the background) or the CWM Recovery?
What files did you put and where did you put them?
Name the files you downloaded them and where you put them (external sdcard, internal sdcard, in a folder, etc)
Are you able to flash anything?
Did you format your sdcard from the phone?
So yeah... answer those for us please.
If the files are on the root of your INTERNAL SDCARD then you need xboarder's recovery.
If the files are on the root of your EXTERNAL SDCARD then you need the standard clockwork recovery (download from ROM Manager)
I rooted my Motorola Triumph and did a LOT of customization to it and ended up needing to go ahead and put the stock ROM back on it. Somehow in doing this, my phone isn't working and I'm not sure what to do at this point. I got almost to where I was going to recover and restart, but I got this code:
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!
I downloaded Eclipse and got everything I need (I think..) including SDK and ADB stuff
I tried mounting my phone to my computer via the CWM boot menu, but that isn't working and I'm just not sure where to go from here...
HELP PLEASE!?
1. Place the rom on your SD card via the card reader on your PC
2. Re-insert it in the device
3. Boot into recovery
4. Do a full wipe of data and cache
5. Flash.
Is there another option if I don't have a card reader?

You have to be able to place the rom on your SD card. You could place the SD card in another device to transfer it from your PC then re-insert it in your phone (just use any way you possible to place the rom on the SD card).
Well, I have CWM on my phone, it is usable but not visible, and a dead USB port (Will charge but won't connect to any computer for transfer or Odin). I can put an SD card in and flash it to a usable rom/loader, but since I can't actually navigate the CWM I can not actually flash.
Basically, I need someone with a working CWM to tell me how many clicks down I need to go in order to get to where I flash from. I will be on a fresh SD card with only the folders on it that android creates put one called "Roms" (where I will put the roms, of course).
Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

The ROM to my tablet (which is this exact model) is corrupted and will only boot into the recovery mode but I can't find a ROM for it anywhere. Any way I can get the system.tar, boot.img, and recovery.img that this person posted and make a working ROM out of it? Searches have come up pretty dry. I tried contacting him but no response. I already tried clearing out the cache and factory resetting it, it keeps going into recovery mode so I know it's a problem with the ROM.
Is that a no? I could really use some help here since my tablet is basically useless in its current form.

are you on a custom recovery ex twrp/cwm. and does your tab have a external micro sd card slot
if you are, make a backup to your external micro sd.
pull out your sd put it into your computer copy the files you posted from the other guys thread into your external sd in the twrp/backup/####/corressponding folders to the files you posted. put your card back in. go to twrp restore that backup. then wipe cache/delvik cache/ and data then reboot.(do not use the recovery .img he posted)
No custom recovery, this is the standard Android recovery menu Would that change anything or can I still pretty much do it as you described? It has an external micro sd card slot of course.
Anyone who is able to help me? I honestly looked everywhere for a recovery ROM for this thing but the only people I've found who actually have the tablet are also having problems with it. I'm beginning to think RCA is garbage when it comes to tablets. It was going great until that firmware update screwed everything up.
