Any previous data I'm assuming? No. Fully stock like it came out of the box.

That isn't fully true, you still have to do a system/data wipe. And some of your info backed up on your SD card will reappear. But as far as apps, etc, etc.. you will have to go through the hellatious setup process, unless you have it all backed up.

Well what about being root?
would that still show evidence of the exploit that is being ran?

Nope, SBF kills root. Trying to send it in on insurance/warranty?

You are gonna want to data wipe and "clean up" internal storage just to be safe on clearing root evidence ...haven't heard of any 300dollar charges for previous rooted phones being sent in.
Sbf overwrites some /system partition. Im sure there may be some way to find out if u ever have rooted but it PROLLY isn't worth the time/process it takes to find those traces.

If he sends it in on Warranty VZW will tell him eat it if it's rooted. BUT if he sends it to Asurion on Warranty they won't care.

noo, just a random question that i figured someone knew the answer too, btw, thanks guys

No problem!

Even a data wipe doesn't clear everything I've noticed. If you truly want to remove evidence you need to manually delete all the rom zips and bootstrap apk, and any nandroid backups. I mean, they can't prove you ran them but if your serious about removing evidence. Furthermore, I've heard from a true tech geek friend (I will see if I can find a link to back up) Verizon can send a push to your phone and depending on how your phone reacts, they can tell if it is rooted.

It's called an su command. My work does it when you connect to their network.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium

I saw something about that before. Heck. Google doesn't let u watch market movies if ur rooted. ((Btw that altered google videos all DOES work...it changes the su check command)
Im sure one day there will be a lawsuit similar to the one against apple about jailbreaking that users that root will WIN based on the precedent set in that case.

Not to mention the phone is supposed to be "open source" anyways. It is just like a car, while it is under warranty only the dealer is supposed to put on OEM upgrade equipment otherwise it is voided, which is part of the reason you carry insurance. And we BUY our phones, not rent/lease them.
About that su command push. I can't for the life of me think of what it is called, but I am pretty sure that is against the law. Not for your work when you join it's network since I assume they are verifying your identity, or the PC, but for them to randomly check if you are rooted.

I doubt its random, its probably more like if they try to push an update or soak test they check for root first, I've never got an update pushed to me. If you're rooted I would be shocked if they didn't just put a * next to your account.

[Q] Soak test 4.5.91 rootable?

IF I was lucky enough to be selected as a beta tester for gingerbread for the Atrix.
AND I wasn't thinking and clicked 'download now'
I WOULD ASSUME that the amazon appstore would still working (a plus) - and a downside - I would lose root. IF I didnt' have any other mods running on my phone, and was using SU for titanium backup, reboot, MyBackup, etc. the update should install safely, but would kill root.
ASSUMING that I did that, would I have foobar'd myself... and root will be attainable again.
do you mean it looks different than the gingerbread that we've seen from leaks?
Just an FYI, Motorola does monitor this site, and as part of the NDA, it probably isn't the best idea to discuss it here.

I have my 1.83 rooted w/ GladRoot 4.3 when this update comes live for everyone (assuming its the same) What would I have to do to root? (Stock AT&T Atrix w/ rooted 1.83 via GladRoot 4.3 locked BL)

Recovery reboot option(Request)

I've always appreciated having the option of rebooting into recovery on the "phone options" when powering off. Typically if I have already used the dx2 bootstrap into recovery previously I can just power down when im plugged in and ill reboot into cwm...and my old dx and other phones I've seen have it typically. Pretty sure its doable.
So if anyones up for adding it to your list of things to do id be extatic.
Thx in advance.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
We don't have an official bsr. In order for the reboot recovery to work, i think the script calls for Koush's signature, or something like that, and our recovery doesn't have the proper sig. Not only is it a hacked up recovery, it's an ancient one. I don't see recovery ever being added, unfortunately.
Oh, btw, wrong forum.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Xodus is correct.
We were all excited for a while when koush got an x2 bout a month or two ago thinking we would finally get a "real" x2 recovery option. Its a little frustrating to see almost EVERY moto phone except for us have that option. And the only "real"x2 difference between our phone and others is our tegra2. I can't see that being the reason we can't get this option. It Has GOT to be doable if someone would just put the work/time into creating it.
Well, don't they have one for the Xoom? We need to see if we can port some of the Xoom hacks. The only difference REALLY are honeycomb and the screen size(right?).

Ya well even though we aren't unlocked...it would seem that some sort of autorun sequence for the two commands in the dx2 bootstrap could be programmed to run one after the other in the background at the push of a button on that menu. But it couldn't really be that simple -_-

Logic seems airtight. I mean, if you can push the button in System Recovery and it'll boot to charge mode or recovery mode then why can't the same commands used to perform that action be used as a reboot recovery option. I'm no dev. I would imagine if it was that easy, it would've been done by now.
"Reboot widget" from the market is a good alternative for now....

Seems to me the charge mode is the weakest link in the chain. The normal boot sequence is dependent on encryption and system checks, the battery animation doesn't require so much security. It would make sense to me, after reading the cvpcs blog about 2nd init, they could use 2nd init to hijack normal boot, but that sounds like a total pain in the ass.

ya XOdus...with nitro and masta being basically the only two devs for the dx2 I figured I'd just throw this out there and hopefully someone reads it. If i were savoy with making roms I'd be all over it, but hopefully just my train of thought may help someone with their endeavors in making their rom worth while. Nitro put our bootstrapper in his "eclipse parts" so I would imagine he might be interested in advancing farther.
We have it on the bionic. We're locked plus have to use a bootstrap. Ask around in that forum....

New update for Electrify 2.3.5, Caution if unlocked!!

There's a new update for the Motorola Electrify that gives you 1080p video recording and prevents you from removing Motorola's bloatware and unroots the phone. If you have unlocked your bootloader you might want to skip it, but if the phone is just rooted it should install. I tried to update and I got the green android with a exclamation mark inside a triangle. I had to pull the battery and restore my back I made through CWM. If you just try and reboot it just tries to install the update again. You can root it again using the torpedo method, so I've read, I've not personally tried it.
I was part of the trial update team and I can tell you that after the update I still had root. I lost root about two days after the update, not sure why...but then used the torpedo process again and rooted no problem. Have had no problems since.
well apparently someone was able to re-unlock there bootloader after the 2.3.5 update on another forum, trying to get info.

Can tech support tell if I'm rooted over the phone?

I have a small echo-like noise now that I hear during phone calls on my phone. I think it is a hardware issue because I don't hear it on my bluetooth headset. I called Verizon 800 number the other night because I was wondering about the 4G outage and mentioned my audio problem while I was on the phone with her. She said if I call back from another phone, tech support would connect to my Thunderbolt and troubleshoot the audio problem, and if its unfixable they would send me another Thunderbolt.
I am wondering if I need to unroot before I do this....would tech support be able to tell if my phone was rooted and thus void the warranty and not be able to do anything for me? What should I do?
Bare minimum I'd install the stock rom on there, I don't believe they would dig far enough to see if fastboot is unlocked.
As for the title question Yes, they can tell if rooted.
I don't think they can tell Cuz I called yesterday Cuz my screen is messing up they called me back on another line and wanted me to do a factory reset but didn't know that I was already on GB

The only thing I can think of, and I'm no expert or anything so this is just a guess, is that they could look at the software version of the phone, and if it isn't the latest, or a previous release for this phone, then they could speculate that you are rooted, though I don't think that alone would hold up in court if it ever came to that.
When the support rep told the OP that they would "connect to my Thunderbolt and troubleshoot the audio problem", I think they were going by the standard "don't call tech support from the phone that's having the issue" practice.
Can they remotely connect to our phones ? I wasn't aware that they could.

Correct, that's what they said ("don't call tech support from the phone that's having the issue" practice.)
So should I still unroot to be safe before I call them or no....

If you want to be on the safe side, make a nand backup, flash a stock ROM, call them, then restore the backup. I'll pretty sure they can't tell if you have a custom recovery.

Liquid AOSP 3.2.
I unrooted just to be safe and the tech rep never said anything and I got them to send me a new sim card and if that doesn't solve my problem (which I don't think it will), then they will send me a new thunderbolt.
When I rooted again after the phone call it wouldn't let me restore my rom and I got stuck in a boot loop. Luckily I had rom zip's on my sd card, so I installed one from scratch, reflashed cwm via rom mgr again, then it let me restore it.
Very weird, and I was terrified I jacked my phone up.

Hmm keep looking, I won't be at a pc till tomorrow maybe. But like I said I have no way to confirm only what I've read which is what I do. And that was second hand information. As most of this is. I'm really trying to remember because I know these site searching's are lacking at best.
I just recently used to work for at&t customer care and if vzw is anything like them, the only way they can maybe tell is if you have an unlimited data plan plus unofficial tethering app. Or if you send it in for warranty/Asurion replacement. Otherwise i don't really see how they could see in any way if it was rooted

That is understandable, thank you. Still gotta get to my pc. I know people have called in on their rooted devices for certain reasons and been called out only to deny. And of course unroot before going in. For whatever reason. Sticking to it.
That's why I asked what ROM. A support rep could simply tell the person to read them a version # that will be different than "stock".

I've been trying to pull for last 2 hour's no go. Screen goes white and (Checking for available update) Please Wait. But goes nowhere, anybody having any luck.
I don't think you can "cheesecake" for it. It just comes to you.
Yea the soak test is currently live and my X2 is currently updating. Once the update is done i will post what the new version is and or new kernel.
Done with the update and it's 2.3.5 with kernel - [email protected] #2
Did you lose root access? I was curious, how can you download just to dissect? Unless you can somehow download it to your computer instead of your phone. I am sure Moto has locked to BL even further, only to be able to laugh in all of our faces once again. Anyways, watching this thread for further updates.
Yep Kernel seems different and some other stuff in that menu has changed as well.
Very interesting, I wonder why Moto is going to 2.3.5 and not 2.3.6.
A soak test at this point just seems useless. They have to have something big planned.

The only way to pull the file from your /cache is to download only, it gets deleted from /cache if you let it UD automatically.
don't think you can access cache, unless rooted
and think cache is wiped after update is installed
but i could be wrong

Correct.
You don't need to unrooted to DL the UD, just on your cheesecake (stock) nand OR sbf & root.
apply voodoo
DL the update
copy & paste UD.zip to SD
run the UD from stock recovery
run voodoo
rooted again
Got the email
Got the e-mail, sbf-ing from CM7, but going to note e-fuse values first, in case it changes them which could be an indication of a brick upon downgrading. I'll also try to get an update.zip for you
