Question Is Simple, Is There A Specific Binary For The "updater-script" ?
I've Tried Both The Froyo Binaries From MinX(c21johnson) And CorteX2(ryman222).
Also Tried The Pre-Rooted Gingerbread(P3Droid) Binary.
I Have Rattled My Brain Too Long And Trying At Least 100x To Flash 1 Zip By Changing The Edify Script And Binary I Need Help Now. Please Either Reply Or PM Me If You Have Knowledge, Insight, Or The Answer. This Is What's Stopping Me From Really Starting To Play Around With The Device.
Much Thanks,
Mikey
If this is any help .... when using the uot kitchen I have to replace the update binary from the rom they cook with the one from p3droids 2.3.3 zip and that works for me
X2RGB
I think the update binary is specific to the rom you're running
X2RGB
Mikey I sent you a pm see if that helps you any

I've Read Both And Have Tried P3's Binary, Stated That In The OP. Thank You For Support Anything Is Accepted Even If I Already Tried. Somebody Has To Have The Answer As Developers Are Making ROMs.

I am not new to flashing rome and such but I have never flashed these init hacks before and now there are a few threads out there and I'm a little confused.
So here is what I have so far. I'm on eclipse 0.4 and wanting to install the hacks. I am rooted and have installed the bootstrap. I know how to flash the zips for the hacks but what I am confused about now is this...
Should I just flash Overminds new hack then speedy gonzales? or still flash naven's then Overminds then speedy? or can I just flash Overminds and be good to go?
Thanks in advance for your help and sorry if this is a repetitive thread.
From my understanding 0.4 has the init hack folder already created so just flash the speedy_flashable.zip from overminds thread using system recovery. His flashing process is supposed to clean up any conflicts. To double check after flashing check out the init.d folder is /system folder for the proper files. If you are missing the proper files you may have to run overminds modification. Make sure you have busybox 1.18.4. I had 1.19.0 before starting.

Thank you for the info! And on another note thanks to all the devs that are working on this phone to make it Awesome!
Edit: Worked like a charm!
Awesome stuff. Glad it worked.

Stock system dump (this is not cwm flashable, this is for devs needing a base rom) all credit goes to drenner99
Deodex'd Version (cwm flashable)
this will allow themeing and your phone should run slightly faster
will someone please tell me what this does?

and here i thought i did...
It's just a system dump from the Motorola Electrify. It's more or less the same as our stock system dump.
Well let the rom making begin! I wanna root and flash my phone badly....but I dont wanna do it until there is a way I can go back to stock for warranty purposes.

superuser in stock dump?
@shabbypenguin,
I was reading through your AIO root thread and it occurred to me that I had rooted prior to extracting the system dump that is posted in op as "Stock". Therefore, there is a version of superuser present in /app that I assume may not have been there as delivered. Of course, I may be making an incorrect assumption.
Is it appropriate then to call this stock, or is it a given that rooting would have been necessary to perform the dump in the first place?
I also don't know if this would affect your deodexed version?
Just wondering if this fact needs to be mentioned somewhere, unless I just did.

First off, thanks for all your efforts to provide us with this...
Second, root is a requirement for the dump and so even with the Superuser app, what you supplied is most definitely stock.
Unless of course you deleted anything in /system/ prior to the dump...

This is simply a stock from from the Photon's "sister," the Electrify. No one has even identified if there are any benefits/improvements hidden inside this ROM, much less how compatible it is with the Photon.
Just because something IS flashable doesn't mean you SHOULD flash it. OP was very clear - this is for devs only, not public consumption. If you don't know enough, then you're better off exercising some patience and waiting for further announcements.
actually im gunna guess that the man has an electrify and my cwm script is busted
I would venture to guess that you guys will have the same issue we do with the photon roms. As other members on my team verified that root, recovery, kernel and unlock work from the photon. The kernel needed wifi fixed which was pretty simple. In which I pm'd shabby about earlier. The roms also work but some things need fixed to get it working.
I don't know all the details besides what weasel told myself. But mms, 3g I believe works but going back to stock it wouldn't, eri says sprint, blur e-mail fc's and activation for sprint kept popping up to where you have to skip it. Weasel has fixed most of the stuff in the homebase port. I believe e-mail still fc's and mms is still broke.
But here is the first deodex rom weasel and myself did if you want to add it to the first post. http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=265
Then here is the kernel shabby did with wifi fixed ready to install. Only rc-1 since wifi was broke in rc-2. If the electrify people want to install it just grab it from shabby's thread. There was reports of 3000's+ in bench's. Not sure of rom it was on but I would venture to guess our stock rom. http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=334
Then here is the port for homebase weasel is playing with http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=268 if you guys wanted to look at it.
i would gather a lot of frameworks issues, as with services.jar would happen between the phones.
edit: you keep saying you fixed wifi. but the only way to fix it, is by rebuilding the modules using my config file.. which only i have...
unless im missing some other way to replace it?
So now that we have root, what is the next step? I am not a Dev, so I'm wondering, someone has to take the system dump, deodex the files? Then, build the custom files that will allow/create the customizations? Sorry for my lack of knowledge, just wondering how far off we are from a custom ROM or at least the ability to run some of the customizations found in say ROM toolbox?
I guess we have to hope that some awesome devs get the Razr.
I will build a rom, but I am not doing anything until a SBF/FXZ file appears that I can restore my phone easily during the testing phase.
Edit: Also WRONG SECTION

Can anyone put into layman's terms the initial process of rooting a phone? I have the OTA and there's no root method, so I'd like to manually root via TWRP. Is busy box mandatory for root? If not, should I get it or pass on it? Where do I get the package to flash? Then for supersu....where do I get the binaries/zip package for that?
I want to ruu back to actual stock and then manually root, but the only thing I cab find is the root scripts, which don't work. I'm having issues with the 1.22 rooted Rom which I believe stem from stripping out firmware and or hboot and stuff. Since I'm already updated is prefer to work from the actual stock build.
This could be a great starting point for those with phone that are already updated... Anyone care to help?

well chill for one second xD you dont need and cant use any of that mess if you dont have root
what you did is whats preventing you from rooting, which was updating to 1.22, as far as i understand, the current methods dont work for getting you root, sooo, maybe im wrong but i believe theres a trick where u can RUU back to the old 1.33 or whatever, but look in the original development thread
Of course its still possible. Why couldn't I ruu (to 1.22)...run HTC unlock...flash twrp...flash supersu...flash busybox? Boom, I'm rooted on a stock build. I know the current scripts can't do it, bit I can definitely do it manually if I have all the right resources....or if I knew what I was doing... Right??

if the htc site doesnt have it, and you know how, then you should post your method xD
otherwise idk what your saying...
If you want root and s-off use the links in my signature where it says ]ROOT] and [s-off]
Just concerned with root... It says it works up to 1.13. I've already done the OTA so I'm 1.22... Will it still work?

Didn't you already answer your own question in the 3rd post in this thread. You seem to already have the answer.
However, I will say this is discussed in several other threads already just spend a little bit of time searching and you'll find the directions to help you. The time you'll spend searching is as much time as you've put into this thread already.

I have been searching.....I've spent HOURS and HOURS on this forum the past few days. I guess I'm just looking for confirmation that what I want to do is in fact the right thing to do... Everyone is so set on all the root scripts, but noone says what that process actually is. And that's what I want. I want the process so I can start contributing without just taking everyone else's work. I think there's a ton of people in my same situation (htc unlocked, s-on, accepted the OTA) that wants a simple way to get back root without reflashing entire roms. So I guess my three big questions are...
1.) I understand that root requires an app (superuser or supersu) as well as the binaries. I have no idea where these binaries are. Where would I get the supersu ones? Is it flashable? Where do the "binaries" actually go?
2.) Busybox...do you have to be rooted to install it? It seems like you do if this is really a set of tools not included in stock android. Maybe I'm wrong though. And more importantly....where do you get it. I'll be honest, I haven't searched around on this issue yet, so maybe the answers already out there... I just wanted to ask in case someone felt like layin down some knowledge.
3.) The flashable zip. I guess I could unzip one and see what's inside, but I'm sure someone on here can explain so it makes more sense than I'd gather by just unzipping and looking around. Like for instance, so flashable zips are entire roms...some are just radios...some are simple tweaks. This leads me to believe there's a script inside defining what to actually do. Let's say I wanted to create my own flashable zip which included TWRP, the root binaries and supersu, as well as busybox. Do I create a perl script called your_moms_a_skank and include it with all the other files? Is there a certain filename (instructions) the android operating system looks for when you flash a zip? Shoot i dunno.....I guess I'll start ripping these apart and seeing whats inside....
If you can't answer all three, that's fine. Any information is better than none... You all are awesome and I would buy you all cupcakes if I knew where you lived... Don't actually tell me where you live because the cupcakes will never come. I'll eat them long before they make it to the post office. I'm just saying....I'd consider buying you a cupcake. And it's the thought that counts...so you have to be happy about this.
First, I'm not a developer, I've never made a rom now do I know how. Not that I can't learn. I'm just broke and have a horrible computer its so bad I haven't used it since I got my evo 4G. Anyway I'm not new to flashing, modding or anything to do with my evo. What I like to do is flash a rom as a base then find other tweaks and mods and flash them. remove things the developer put in and maybe replace them with other thing I find from other roms. Eventually I have a custom "rom" mostly unrecognizable from my original base. My question is, is it possible to nand my "rom" and turn it into a flashable rom to share with the community?

I believe you can use the latest version of clockwork mod to create a flashable update.zip of your current ROM that you could then share with people.
Edit: Option can be found under backup and restore options and is called "create image zip"

What about Ra? I guess I can check myself. If I rename the zip, would you still be able to flash it? Would it be considered a rom? Would I post it in developers section? With proper credit of course.

Amon Ra (I assume thats what you mean by Ra) is pretty old, I think its a CWM (Specifically clockwork mod 6 and above) only feature. Yes I'm pretty sure if your just renaming the zip and not modifying any thing else once you create the update.zip you should be able to flash it just fine. And yes it would be considered a ROM more of a cooked ROM since you didn't compile it from source, but still a ROM non the less. And yes since it's a ROM post you would post it in the development section (Not Original Development Section though), and as always like you mentioned proper credit is important :good:.
Thanks for the information. I'm using smelkus amon ra, I heard cwm didn't wipe properly. Has that issue been fixed? I'm gonna work on cooking my rom polish it up a bit and post it soon Thanks again for the information, gonna put you in my credits

The easiest and most legitimate way to get enough posts if to look through the the various Q & A threads and try and answer some peoples questions, or you can look through topics that interest you and comment on them in some way that adds to the discussion.
Thanks for the tip. That's what I was going to to do. Thanks again for the info.
So I finally got my rom how I want it, I flash the latest cwm, and the option to create a flashable zip is not available for the evo 4g. Any other ideas?

Try doing a data dump (dd) of all the partitions on your device using commands along the lines of: (Can be done from ADB shell or terminal emulator)
$ su
# cat /proc/mtd
Also try "mounts" if that doesn't work
Then based on that output you dump the partitions using the dd command (Following is an example do not copy verbatim).
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/mtd/sdcard/system.img
Then take a meta-inf folder from a working ROM for your device, extract the contents of the system.img file so you have a system folder, and the boot.img once you have these three files zip them all up, and sign the Rom then flash in recovery.
Another suggestion, would be to just take the stock Rom or even Cyanogenmod for your phone and modify that using notepad++, Gimp, and 7-zip (PM me if you want some help with this).
Finally, you could look into compiling AOSP or Cyanogenmod from source for your device.
