Mantain root through all moto updates - Motorola Droid X2

CHECK THIS OUT GUYS!!!
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...upgrade-motorola-devices-only.html#post105222
P3droid has now given us Motorola owners a way to maintain root through ALL updates.
you need to modify some files using root explorer or adv method
Was originally proposed by djrbliss ..thank him at @djrbliss on twitter
GREAT NEWS FOR
EDIT:::
THIS DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT YOU NEED TO BE STOCK TO UPDATE . YOU CAN HOWEVER BE ROOTED AND MAINTAIN THAT ROOT THROUGH THE UPDATE PROCESS.

Here is the quote word for word of what p3droid posted over at mydroidworld.com
Doing the following will allow your device to maintain root through any upgrade (unless motorola changes things)
I use root explorer, but you can also use adb pull and push.
RootExplorer Method
go to /system/bin/open in text editor -
mount_ext3.sh add the following lines to the very bottom
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 4755 /system/app/Superuser.apk
ADB method
adb pull /system/bin/mount_ext3.sh
open the file in your favorite text editor add the following lines to the very bottom
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 4755 /system/app/Superuser.apk
Save file
adb push mount_ext3.sh /data/local
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /dev/null /system
cat /data/local/mount_ext3.sh > /system/bin/mount_ext3.sh chmod 777 /system/bin/mount_ext3.sh
Done!!!
This method was proposed by Djrbliss, and only slightly altered by me...please thank @DjrBliss on Twitter.

Good find, thanks for posting. I'd hit thanks but I'm too lazy to open a browser, log in, find the thread and hit thanks. I'm sure someone else will hit it, count that from me too

Nice! Too bad I am already on 2.3.4... This will work on all Moto updates on all Moto devices I am assuming?

Just saw this on twitter! Too cool.

free app on android market keeps root after OTA update
Search for 'OTA RootKeeper' in the market.
Worked for me, was able to keep root after receiving the OTA 2.3.4
My phone was on 2.3.3 and was rooted prior to the update.

Did not work for updating from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. Reboots after trying to update and says "update failed." I tried it twice, it redownloaded the second time. I don't think I removed any Verizon apps that would prevent it from updating properly.

Make sure you are as close to 'stock' with root as possible.
Unfreeze bloatware blur apps, etc.
If you removed apps, there may be other issues keeping the OTA from working - not necessarily related to the Voodoo OTA RootKeeper app.
Worked for me, ran RootKeeper before the update to save root.
After the update lost root, ran RootKeeper and it restored root.
Good luck!

I have noticed through this screenshot by someone over at mydroidworld that there may be some other lines needed in order for this mod to work http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...-upgrade-motorola-devices-only-shot000002.png
(I think u will need to be logged in at mydroidworld to view the shot)
I will ask p3droid about this tomorrow to get some clarification on what exactly is necessary for this to work. As far as I have seen this mod SHOULD work. I will be testing it myself by going to froyo and rooting w/gingerbreak then apply this mod and upgrade away.
I will post my results as soon as I do this
In the meantime has any x2 users used this mod successfully yet? I need to know so that I can be specific when talking with p2droid about what changes we may have to make for it to work for us.

Did u try the script mod or did u try the app that was mentioned?
If the script mod- did u input everything exactly as written? (There is a space before and after 4755) also I think there may need to be a blank line after the extra lines added. Can u provide a screenshot of the script after edit?

You just tap on the name of the message poster and then tap the "little boquet of flowers" icon. Don't know if it's on the unpaid version or not. I figure, if I'm gonna use an app regularly, might as well pay for it, and support someone's efforts.

(TOOL) Perma-Temp Root with *R/W* & Stable!

Thanks goes to #TeamWin for Temp Root
This is For Windows only, if you wish to make it work for linux or mac help your self...
Remember, This is still a Temp Root & any Changes made will be Rest back to stock on a Reboot
It's stable & works 100%
I Personally have not lost Root with this new Method
Q. I thought RW was Fixed?
A. Caused by Deleting an apk / file that was already deleted. Journaling shows it still there!
Keep Track of what you delete, as trying to delete something off system that you alread di hangs the /system into RO state.
Before Using!!​HTC Sync Must be Turned OFF
Put the Phone into Charge Mode only ( Not Disk Drive )
USB Debugging Must be Turned on
What's Fixed:
Revamped due to new Method:
~ Superuser Apps now Function
~ If you Lose Root, all you have to do is Open terminal & type SU then type fixit! > No More Rebooting & running the exploit again for R/W on system to get Root back in place
~ Fixed R/O Bug!!
~ R/W is now Forced
~ /system is fully editable now! until reboot that is.
~ Busybox is installed to /vendor/bin
~ hex Edited libext4
~ hex edited libfuse.so
~~ This is the Last Update due to it working & Stable ~~

Q. Is this permanent?
A. no, it's a temp root method..
Q. Will I lose SU Access at some point while running the OS?
A. You might, but open terminal & type fixit to get root back!.
Q. What about apps that need a reboot to use superuser?
A. Use Fast Reboot form the market for app that need a reboot..
Q. Can I push & remove items to system & will it work?
A. Yes, but all changes are reset on a reboot.​
Once Downloaded, Unzip & double click on the Run_ME_fre3vo_Root.bat File & Enjoy long lasting Root!
OLD NEWS:
Everyone knows that currently with any temp root, you still lose links to the SU Binary & Busybox links, it's just a matter of time before it happens!!
So after digging around somewhat I found an over sight that HTC might use later for system updates via /vendor/bin, who knows at this point though... Anyways, after amount of time the SU Binary along with busybox links if be in system/bin or /system/xbin gets deleted / removed..
Now, what I did was enable the $Path to /vendor/bin which is in the Sensation export PATH..
Any Calls made from this point either be SU or Busybox don't get deleted nor touched from any App requesting the SU Binary!! I've tested this with alot of apps & the Root sticks in place..
Other than Reboot, it might as well be a Perma-Temp-Root!!
Downloading now!!! Can't wait to test it!
***EDIT***
Rooted perfectly, opened and closed Titanium Backup several times with no force closes or loss of su, Barnacle is perfect, Wireless tether is granted su but the kernel doesn't support it, screenshot gained su also but the screenshots were smeared colors. Drocap2 takes perfect screenies though. Gonna try a few more root apps before bed and play some more when I wake up to verify it lasts.
going to try this now!
Ran the script and no root
script stays on
daemon started successfully :/

If you have trouble with the Superuser.apk, uninstall first & reboot then run the .bat file again..
What is installed?
Busybox w/ symlinks
Superuser.apk
SU Binary
Fre3vo
sqlite3
What's Removed?
slackerradio.apk
TMOUS_Navigator.apk
Transfer-pyramid-8.30.0.26-S30.apk
Protips.apk
IdleScreen_Stock.apk
HtcTipWidget.apk
com.htc.TrendsWidget.apk
com.mobitv.client.tmobiletvhd.apk
FusionStockWidget.apk
Stock.apk
So without further ado, the link!

Is there any chance u can edit the script or tell me how to edit it so it doesn't remove anything. Thanks.
perfect works great!!! Managed to restore TB! Will try out wifi tethering right now and other su required apps! Thank you! <3
I guess I don't understand.
How is removing anything from /system/app gonna stick?
This worked perfect for me. No problems with it. Wifi tether won't work for me, but barnacle tether works perfectly. Drocap2 is taking perfect screen shots for me as well, where as before the images would be all distorted and what not.
Made some changes to the .bat since I don't necessarily want to disable all of that yet, but it works, this is the longest superuser has worked for me so far on the EVO 3D.

It won't stick, but after you reboot you run the batch program again and the apps are removed again until your next reboot.

a .bat file is just a text document that is executed in command prompt. If you are familiar with cmd just open the file in notepad, delete any commands you don't want executed, save.

Not through a full reboot....no you will have to run the batch file again (even says so in the OP). However, the other root methods would crash periodically even without a reboot or would last but not give you access to the majority of your root apps. This is the closest yet to a feasible root solution.
mine doesnt get past daemon started successfully i have usb debugging on
so if i downloaded and installed some apps that require root,
and i reboot, what happens to them ?
they will work after running the bat file again ?
or they will have to be installed again to work properly ?
thanks !
EDIT: i haven't done my due diligence (searching and reading)
but it's 5 am so i'll ask ...
what works for screen capture and for wireless tethering ?

They will work after running the .bat file again. You shouldn't need to uninstall and reinstall them. Super User may need to be uninstalled before running the .bat file again, if it gives you any force closes.

Root access without dock or computer

Ok...first off i know this is not supposed to be in general discussion but as my new status will not let me reply to the relevant thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216131). I just wanted to share how I achieved root access (without a computer) by using bits of different advise from other users. I take no credit for any of this, I don't know any commands but I obviously have an idea of what they are trying to accomplish. Here goes:
First Step:
Download Superuser from market
Download Terminal Emulator from market
Download Dolphin HD browser
Navigate to the above linked thread in the Dolphin broswer and Download photon-torpedo.tar
Once all these are installed reboot your device.
Second Step:
From the terminal emulator enter commands pressing enter after each.
cd /tmp/
cp /sdcard/download/photon-torpedo.tar . (note the "space" and "period" at the end)
chmod 777 photon-torpedo.tar
/bin/tar xf photon-torpedo.tar
./photon-torpedo.sh (you will receive errors at this point, IGNORE)
./install-su.sh
Reboot your device
Third Step:
Run terminal emulator
Enter the command su
At this point it will ask for superuser rights and you are rooted.
*The reason for this thread is that I had to take bits from different responses and piece them together to get this to work. Hope this helps someone as I wanted give back to the community. Again...all credit goes to the original contributors.*
*Fixed typo*
*Theory - If you have a SD card installed when you download the file change the second command line to " cp /sdcard-ext/download/photon-torpedo.tar ." (note the "space" and "period" at the end)*
*Another hint - Determine the location of your /tmp/ folder prior to attempting root (download a file explorer from market) and modify as needed. Some have needed to use /data/tmp/ *
Nice!!! On your second command, change cp to cd

Actually that is supposed to be cp. I believe it copies the photon-torpedo.tar to the /tmp/ folder where it needs to be located in order to run. (I could be wrong on my logic but that is what worked for me)

I did find one typo.
cp /sdcard/download/photon-topedo.tar .
should be
cp /sdcard/download/photon-torpedo.tar .

To be quite honest i haven't felt the need to flash a rom on the mopho so you'll have to research that one yourself. To flash though you normally need to install a bootloader and im just not familiar with the process on this phone. I only rooted to access wifi hotspot and a few other apps.

detecting rooted devices

does anybody know if there's a way to block an app fr detecting that your phone is rooted, i was trying to redeem my code for my digital copy to download fast five on my phone using pocket BLU, once it gets ready to download it let's me knw that it detected that my phone was rooted n doesn't let me download, i also had the same problem with blockbuster before I was rooted I purchased some movies but after I was rooted tried to go back to my movies n. same thing, detected my device was rooted... I was wondering if there's a way or hack that we can do to not make it detectable as being rooted, thanx

everytime u get an app that request root user permission I have to allow, it doesn't allow automatically but once I have aloud an app I don't have to do it again
You have to delete the root detection in some smali files to remove it.

a temporary fix:
1) rename /system/bin/su to anything else, example: /system/bin/jk. i prefer to use adb shell for the renaming.
2) run the application which looks for root
3) when done running the application which has root detection, rename /system/bin/jk back to /system/bin/su.
this should work because the root detection method most applications use is to only check if a file named /system/bin/su is present. if that file is present, they consider the phone rooted. they usually don't even attempt to open the /system/bin/su which would trigger the superuser apk, they usually only look to see if the /system/bin/su file *exists*.
hope that helps!

Ok got the temp root remover but is not working... Help?

as you found out, the temporary fix won't "mess" with anything as long as you restore the su binary back to its default name.

After you rename the file you lose root. How do you regain root privilege to rename the file? Do you chmod? How do you mount rw?

you don't lose root by renaming the su binary. by renaming the su binary, you're ONLY changing the name of the su binary. the su binary does not require itself to be named "su" to execute properly. of course, make sure not to run chmod and remove the setuid bit on the file.
command: mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/jk
now, instead of having to type "su" for root, you'll type "jk" or whatever the new name of the su binary is.
also, you can configure adb shell to always drop to root access by toggling the ro.secure value, either 0 or 1, in the default.prop file which is stored inside the ramdisk of the boot.img kernel file. many custom kernels toggle this setting so adb shell always drops to root, even if no "su" binary exists on the system.
worse case, if for some reason you make a mistake, you can always boot into the custom recovery which provides root access via adb shell (ro.secure is toggle as such in the ramdisk of the recovery custom kernel) and setup root access again from there.
hope the additional information and technical details help!

After using this app or manually renaming in Terminal Emu. Root is still detected by Pocket Blu. Any suggestions?

Really??? I've been using the app fr the market temp unroot remover n it works

[Temp-Root] ZergRush the Amaze 4G

I got the 1.9.0004 Hboot on the Amaze to the guys with Revolutionary and hopefully they can find some exploit wizardry to save us all from the dreaded HTC unlock.
In the meantime, I can confirm that their ZergRush exploit works on the Amaze 4G with software version 1.36.531.5 (untested on any others, but probably still fine). Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296916
The exploit provides temporary root only and any root-level changes will not survive a reboot. This means you can use ZergRush, then push the su app and binary via adb and then use root apps and delete bloat, etc but on reboot it will all go back to the way it was before (the nand partition is not unlocked with this).

It's all there, trust me. follow the instructions with adb in the first post then refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18373159 in the same thread to push su and superuser to the phone.

Credit's for my man Revolution being in IRC# asking question's about ZR haha & nice , remember this only allow's you to run root only applications .
Does this zergrush allow you to remove the bloatware and it stays gone after a reboot? Or do they come back..

It comes back on reboot.
That's so weird. If you remove the system .apks via uninstall.. how would they magically restore themselves?
There has to be a way to clear off this bloatware! =\

NAND is still locked, anything root level reverts to the way it way after a reboot and this is only a temp root.

Either change permissions of the file, or see if a file manager will let you change the folder to R/W. Since i do not have my Amaze yet (in the mail), I cannot go to the folder to see if you can do the latter without root.
Does not work on Wind's Amaze ROM.

How many app's do you have and what do you have running? Some app's (google maps I know) even if you have not opened it, is in the background. add this to Facebook, Yahoo messenger, news, weather, stocks, ect..........you can suck it up pretty good.
Have you tried Supercharged script?

Actually I think he will be able to take the update. But if not, its as easy as going back to stock and manually checking for updates in the about section of settings.

You have "terminal" from android market?
Next put the .tar file to the root of the internal sdcard then open up terminal
Type:
cp /sdcard/photon-torpedo.tar /data/tmp/
Then proceed with the rest of the steps
