Ok, so I was installing the ubthrottle script and it didn't go as well as planned. I have lost root access. Superuser.apk is still there so if I try to reroot the phone it fails at the end because the apk still exsists. I can't get to the BSR so I can't restore any of my backups. Obviously I will probably have yo sbf and start over. The only bad thing about all of that is the only internet access I have is via my phone and don't have an sbf locally so when I download it, it takes a huge ammount of data. Anyways if there is another solution let me know

Strange. You are sure you can't access say /data w/ es file explorer?
Have you tried to put the bsr.apk on your sdcard and run it from there?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Yes...I tried everything that I could...nothing would work short of doing the sbf. That being said I did that rerooted and whatnot and back hapilly on cm7...I'm sure I did something wrong somewhere installing that script but for the life of me can't figure it out

Luckily, it sounds like you didn't lose anything, but that's why, whenever you're going to flash something, it's always good to nandroid first so you can get back to where you were before.

Understood but I couldn't even boot into BSR at all only thing I could boot to was Android Recovery. I completely lost all root access and could not flash any of the backups that I had made at all.

I guess what I was trying to say was, before you flashed the mod onto your phone, boot into BSR, nandroid backup and then flash it. I'm assuming you had to boot into BSR to flash the mod? Not familiar with the mod you were talking about.
Anyways, once you SBFed back and rooted, you would have been able to reinstall SBR and then nandroid recover your previous installation. That's what I meant.
Anyways, glad to see you're back up and running.
Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part...and it was the script that motcher had posted to ubthrottle it was handled with a scripter not the bsr

are u sure u had the correct busybox installed?
something u could try if that happens again is to see if u are able to update ur busybox version. I think I read somewhere that when root got "lost" people either updated the superuser binary from within superuser app or reinstalled busybox.

Just realized that I never answered your question...the only thing I had done was changed the version of busybox according to the and I'm sure I did something wrong there and that's why

Well, I have tried to flash my phone with cm7 for the last 3 days and when I go to reboot recovery it freezes at the LG screen and I am forced to pull my battery possibly bricking my phone. Does anyone, I mean anyone have a safe sure way to flash my phone? And I have no pc access.....srry

You need a computer. Either you didn't install recovery right. Or you're too impatient. Sometimes it hangs for a minute or so.

use terminal emulator and reflash your recovery with flash_image. you got a bad flash or a bad download of the recovery it sounds like.
there is a slim chance you aren't rooted correctly too, in which case it won't let you flash the recovery until you get permanent root. hopefully this isn't the case.
Pretty dumb question what's flash image n just incase how do I check. For a permanent root?

My advice is not to do ANYTHING until you are at a computer and have at least a half an hour available. This sounds like your first time flashing a ROM, take some time to look up key terms and such, your patience will reward you greatly. It is difficult to flash without a computer. Go to a friends house, a library, something and do it from there. To check if you have root, download the app root checker from the market. Then, after confirming root status, work from there and flash a new recovery by pushing it through ADB. Then, place the ROM on the sd card and flash it through your recovery, then Google Apps. If you follow everything I say, and it still doesn't work, come back to this thread or send me a PM and we will go from there. Look into guides before posting, not trying to be mean, but they are there for a reason.
After flashing new moto update (the one from this forum, not the one that came over the air) using RSD Lite, it worked. Then I ran through the dock root method to root it, that seemed to work. And then I restarted the phone and get the red moto logo and it will not get past it. Should I reflash this update or do I need to flash something else like stock pudding? I will attempt to flash 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US again and hope that fixes whatever got broke. Any other advice?
Did you try a battery pull and reboot?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Oh yes. The photon battery pull is well documented. It fixes many problems but it's not fixing this one so a reflash of the update is happening now but I have a bad feeling that isn't it.
Okay. It did work. Acted like it wasn't going to but then started to work. Should I redo the dock root and assume I typoed (I'm pretty sure I did not) or should I do photon torpedo? I did dock root before the OTA several weeks ago and it worked fine then.
No you don't have to buy a new photon. Mine did the same thing but I flashed like 4 times before it took. If you can get it into rsd lite to flash something your not bricked. Take the battery out for 5 minutes, put it back in and try to flash it again. It should take and boot up. Also close rsd lite then reopen it.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Try the one click root method. Glad you got out straightened out.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Okay. The phone didn't temp brick last time because of the root method I chose, it was busybox related. I forgot that LCD Density Changer relied on Busybox to set the default system density. The option had already been set to save it as a system default. So whatever was done to install Busybox has to do it again. If someone isn't sure, they can always uninstall any root requiring programs that also use Busybox when going from root to unrooted to rooted.

I tried to google search this but found nothing. My phone is ROM'ed atm but their hasent been a update for it in a few months. So i want to put a more updated ROM and also because every 12 hours my phone ask me to upgrade to gingerbread. Now the question is in order to add a new ROM can i just install it over the old ROM or do i need to uninstall it. If i need to uninstall it how do i do so? just wipe the phone? Also sorry if this is in the wrong spot cant ask this question in the developer part.
Sbf to 2.3.3 if you want to get anothr rom. Dont ota for an update
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
So your saying just install gingerbread, root the phone again and then rom it? So its safe to just install gingerbread without wiping the phone? I have no idea what sbf or ota means so im kinda lost.

Oh sweet thanks ill try this out when i get out of class tonight.
ok so i installed rsd lite and got my phone to stock gingerbread. I rooted with 'MotorolaOneClickRoot_psouza4 and that was ok. I installed bootstrap and when i click install recovery it says Install Failure /data/data/com.tenfar,a4.recovery/files/surunner.sh (Permission denied). What does this mean? I know im rooted since titanium backup is working and superuser is asking permission for stuff.

I do not think that you are rooted then. Do you have adb installed? If not, I would just rerun the exploit again.

You don't use RSD, its not a SBF, you download it to your phone, rename it to "update.zip", go into recovery and select "Apply SDCARD:update.zip" or "Apply SDINTERNAL:update.zip" depending on where you saved it. Then you select reboot, and your done!

Is it possible to flash CWM from rom manager for the Photon and if so which model do you select??
I had the bootstrap on my phone which was from the x2, but I'm not sure if CWM will be the same or if Atrix would be better or if I'm barking up the wrong tree lol.
Basically I flashed a theme and now I have no settings so I can't setup my BT, WiFi, or even install an app on my sd card because I can't change any settings. And I can't flash a new rom/theme without the settings.
EDIT: So I flashed the Atrix recovery from rom manager since a google search said you could and then flash another. Once I did and tried to boot into recovery it said "failed to boot 2"
Do a factory reset through bootstrap. Happened to my buddy last night after applying a theme, he had no settings.
I restored the bootstrap by using titanium backup when I hit that snag last night
Or if you have an backup, you can take the settings app from it and place it in the system apps
LMAO, and why I didn't think of that I have no idea. I've had mybackup pro since I had my Evo over a year ago and use it religiously, until now that is lmao. I just backed it up before I flashed the new theme and didn't even think of that, good looking out guys thanks.
EDIT: Anyone know of another way to flash CWM without using ADB or SDK??
EDIT no. 2: installing from backup didnt work, it prompts me to go to settings because install from unknown sources is blocked and when I try to go to it I get a Force Close.
Is it possible to just put the settings.apk in the right folder with root explorer or something of that naturr?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
That's what i did, I put the settings apk in the zip and installed it and now everything is fine. Settings looks normal but its there

Why can't you factory reset, and then flash the latest stock build using rsd lite? You should have everything there. Just back your apps up in titanium and restore each one after.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Even doing factory reset using ##786# I couldn't get it to detect in rsdlite using rsd mode on my photon. I found out my rsdlite was an old version and I had a hell of a time finding the newer version (even the links I found on here were broken links) Once I got that I flashed the current sbf, then went about the pudding unlock steps and got it all done.
Hi
I have a galaxy tab 10.1 GT-P7500. I have been messing around a lot with custom ROMs. Now I want to do a proper restore to official ICS. I have the Odin flashable package. When I restore it just using this, my tablet does not want to root again on this stock firmware. I looses root as soon as I flash the root package.
What I want to do is do a complete restore of the tablet. I don't really know much about the bootloaders and so on.
Should I get a PIT file and tick re-partition as well as update phone bootloader?
I have restored an old Nandroid backup and did a factory restore on the tablet but there is something wrong with it. Every now and then the tablet just do a random reboot, but not a complete reboot. The screen goes blank and then back on again. Signal gets lost and everything that I was busy with are gone. I use the Wi-Fi hotspot all the time and every time that this happens I have to turn it back on again.
Anyone who can tell me how to do a proper restore of everything on the tablet?
Boot into cwm or twrp recovery, do a full wipe, not including internal storage, then flash stock ICS again.

Because your important files are there. Unless you don't care about those files or you've backed up in your computer, then you can wipe it.

I can't remeber the error that superuser give out.
I have flashed stock ICS now, but when I try to load the update file which I always used to root it, the stock recovery give an error saying unknown path for sdcard(photo included).
I have formatted all the partitions using CWM before reflashing.
This also happened before I started using my old backup again. Do you know why this will happen? Should I try to repartition the device or something?

First, check to see if the su binary is in /system/xbin or not. Download terminal emulator, then type su and see if it works. If it says su not found, it means the su binary is not installed. If so, try flashing the SuperSU zip (https://db.tt/18JKy062) and see if it works.
