I have a ATT atrix rooted in 1.5.7.
My webtop is full open too with the script of Sogarth.
The phone ask me to update in 1.8.3 if i do, i can root with Gingerbreak after the installation of the update but i don't loose anything else? the faculty too use the webtop without hdmi?
Or before the update is better for me to uninstall the script of Sogarth and try to restore the original files dockApp and PortalApp?
I sorry if the reponse is already here but i can't find anywhere...
Thanks for the information.

Hey i flashed KA7 using Odin and now i'm trying to root and need help. I was able to succesfully root using SOC but i don't have busybox (what is it and why do I need it?) Am i still considered rooted?
If you find Superuser in your app drawer you are rooted I believe. If you install Titanium Backup all you need do is click on problems after the app has opened and it will give you the option to install latest version Busybox. You can also find Busybox in the market.
Also, make sure that you have room in your /system/ partition. You will want to have a couple megs of free space. If not, you may need to remove from crap from /system/app/
Busybox is "the unix army swiss knife" or something that that. its essential system commands and tools.
Thank you

Here's a question perhaps some one can tell me what I am doing wrong. I had followed all the proper steps and when it got to the end SOC said it was mounting boot path and it hangs, the question if should I be in debug mode or standard usb both amounts to a whole lot of nothing any answers?

OneClick version 1.5.5 is the one you need to use

I have Superuser in my apps, but when I go to use a "root required" app it says I'm not rooted. Any idea why this is happening?
The most easiest way I was able to get root access was to odin back to 2.1 update, the use an app called z4root mod. After its done make sure you install CWM and your good to go and flash any 2.2 rom you want. Make sure you read the bothered threads if you want to flash a 2.3 rom. Those steps are different.

I have been looking for a way to root before I go ahead and install the 4.1.83 update. But the only way I can find is Gingerbreak and from what I have read it formats the SDcard.
Is there a way to root without having to lose everything? Why does the SDcard have to be formatted? The two other times I rooted my device there was no formatting required.
It's an unresolved side-effect, not a planned behavior. So it's a consequence of an exploit.
You don't have to lose everything - you have to backup before you use the exploit.
AFAICT it simply wipes the internal sdcard. So backup the contents, use TB to backup apps and data. Then go for it.
First time I did not backup properly and lost the apps (2) I moved to media and the music I'd copied from my pc. Second time managed to retain everything except, somehow, it broken the homescreen links to two apps - though the apps were still present, I have no idea what happened but it was a 10 second fix.
I unmounted the internal sd card before running it, and it didn't delete anything. Ymmv.

I didn't do anything special before running Gingerbreak and nothing was erased...

err you can still flash the 1.2.6 sbf than do the frozenfish root with the afterupdate, than ota to 1.5.7 and ota to 1.8.3 and use the afterupdate. it does take up way more time and effort than the gingerbreak method
I discover a way to run gringerbreak
download it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Send the apk to your email (yourself)
open it, download and install
I am only asking because I no longer able to do backup/resrore in Tenfars CWM. Currently only using that to update Gingerblurr. But I keep getting MD5 errors when I try to restore to a stock 1.8.3. I have also posted in Tenfars thread but apparently he does not reply to any of my questions. Although the CWM worked perfect before in 1.5.7, but when I updated to 1.8.3 I no longer am able to restore either from the internal sdcard or external sdcard path. So is anyone succesful with a different app to accomplish this?
Sorry to new a hater, but wrong forum you could always use rsdlite to do a restore. I believe some one made a 1.2.6 that won't wipe your data.

Hello i am trying the webtop Mod, with my atriz 4.5.91 att, i think its OTA update, not sure, boughted like that, and its a no go; i try to undo the Mod by returning the original apks, but theres a PortalService error saying IllegalArgumentException and another one from PortalHdmiHelper with a bindservice failed for mmirrorconnection.
i check the permitions and are the ones recommended and the sizes check with the ones in bakup.
does someone have the original ones?
I also have ATT 4.5.91 OTA and have Webtop over HDMI working.
If you're new to rooting, etc. I would recommend backing up all of your precious apps and data (Titanium Backup is helpful) and then reinstalling 4.5.91 OTA. Then install Superuser and root your machine using this link:
http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php...ingerbread.29_unrooted_w.2F_locked_bootloader
Then follow the instructions in this link for Webtop over HDMI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144119
I'm sure there are quicker ways, but I have tried several of them without success
Original OTA 4.5.91 webtop files.
I'm in need of the ORIGINAL DockService.apk, DockProvider.apk, PortalApp.apk, and their associated odex files from the OTA 4.5.91 AT&T software.
I don't have originals because the script I used to backup the originals and install the modified files was ran twice. Now I need to restore them to install the OTA 4.5.141 update.
Thanks!
My brother's DX2 is stock 2.3.5, unrooted.
It has been going slow, and recently the mic stopped working in calls.
I figure it's probably time to do a reflash of either the stock rom, or a stable cm, or perhaps eclipse rom.
the problem is it's not rooted, and I want to backup the apps and app data. Is there any way to do this? I hear to root 2.3.5 you must restore to 2.3.4, erasing everything, then use root keeper, and update again. So what should I do?
Take a look at this:

2.3.5 is rootable
