In trying to enable the webtop app I renamed the PortalApp.apk to PortalApp.apk.bak. Now I get an error message:
"The application com.android.portal (com.android.portal) has stopped unexpectedly.Please try again."
I know, I shouldn't have renamed that apk when in the thread it didn't say to but I figured I needed to replace that too. I've learned my lesson.
How can I go about fixing this?
Connect your mobile to computer .
I hope you have adb checked already!
Open cmd.
And write:
adb shell
su
(and TRY TO ALLOW on the phone)
mv system/app/PortalApp.apk.bak system/app/PortalApp.apk
If you can't allow SU request, respond here. To give a try with same commands on early usb enumeration!
If I helped, hit thanks button

Do you mean PortalApp.apk instead of Portal.apk?

I do have the sdk installed and I've used it before but I've forgotten how to get to it. Just typing "adb shell" on the first line of cmd won't do much help if I'm not in the right directory.
With windows explorer!
Find your sdk folder. Enter it.
Copy everything.
Go to Windows folder, and paste everything!
Now you have "adb" command directly in your cmd prompt!

Can I give you one million thanks?
Everything worked out alright!
Yes.
Go to xda settings, click the autothanks button, put "Paschalis" and then allow SU Request on your atrix!
Heheheh!!
Your are welcome!!

Has there been anything on rooting directly from the phone?
And has anyone made an update.zip with unlockd boot?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
Yes, you can root directly from your phone by using terminal emulator but you have to put photon-torpedo.tar to /data/tmp first. I rooted my photon on the phone itself.

Ok can you please tell me how you got terminal to process your commands. I get permission denied every time I use terminal to try and do anything with /data. I obviously need root to complete the commands using terminal to write to anything besides the sd. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Ok I tried using it from phone but how u push it to data without using comp

Did you install superuser from market? You also need to install Superuser and push photon-torpedo.tar to /data/tmp
then type the following in terminal emulator:
cd /data/tmp
/bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar
/data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh
/data/tmp/install-su.sh
Just say "THANKS" to Edgan for great work and job well done.

Not sure if you were responding to me or the other guy but my MacBook and my Linux laptop both recognize my phone but they both say its offline when I try and use a adb. Some people say they have done this root without the computer and just using the terminal on the phone but I get permission denied messages since it needs root. I have super user installed but that does me no good without root. I want to know how they got past the permission denied using the terminal on the phone?

Make sure you have USB debugging checked. Menu > settings > applications > development. This was my problem when I first tried to adb the file to the /data/tmp folder on the phone.
Also, I was getting an error at "Run /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh," but I just ignored it and kept going. It worked. You can use root checker from the market to verify that you have root.

Thanks for the advice but the both of us are not using adb. I always have debugging enabled. We are both trying to do this from or phones with terminal. An update zip would be amazing :~)

I was trying to use adb with my Mac and my Linux laptop but both give me "device offline" when I use adb. I'm going to try a different USB cable as I have seen this happen before and a different cable works but I find it hard to believe that i'm the only one that used stock cable and does not work

Lol, I guess they all vanished! Funny thing is that I am not new to Linux and those are busybox commands which
1: busybox does not come installed on the factory ROM and
2: even if you install it from the market it still needs root access.

If you cannot help then just save your useless comment! Your bringing back bad memories from the EVO forum. That forum was full of bashers and flamers.

Important away from a computer for a few days and was wondering if there's a way to flash CWM recovery without a pc or any previous versions of CWM installed. I had the CWM at some point and now when i boot into recovery i have the stock Samsung recovery and can't flash anything......

I believe you can flash the img from terminal
Yes.
Assuming you're rooted, you should be able to move it to the right partition with a terminal emulator on your phone.

Sorry but im not familiar with using terminal.....could you post the steps i need to take? Thx in advance
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
typically it would go like this
assuming you have the recovery image in the root directory of the sdcard
open the terminal app
$
type 'su'
you should get the # prompt
then
# cd sdcard
# flash_image recovery recovery_image_name
give that a try

open platform-tools(or the folder where adb is found) shift + right click on any empty space, you will find "open command prompt here" press on it, then type ADB devices, if it is read, simply type " adb sideload " then drag and drop the rom zip into the command prompt. it will automatically write its location and prevent the spelling mistakes.
IF: ADB devices can't read your device try the following:
1-Try another usb port, if you tried 2.0 then try 3.0 and vice versa.
2- If you are on windows vista or above, open start menu and search for cmd, right click on it and run as administrator, however you will have to cd to the platform tools location, " cd C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools " then you type in adb devices should read your device fine now. however running cmd as admin prevents the drag and drop technique (atleast here on windows 8.1 it does) so you have to type in the location of your rom and rom name correctly, and dont forget the .zip

Since we have the stupid s-on, your choice of custom kernels is very limited and they make almost no difference, if you are on viper rom which is sense based, you can use the stock kernel (I THINK<<< Not sure) or insertcoin kernel's , but no they don't make any difference as far as i know. Try and see
