Ok.
My phone apparently hates me ... but I can't figure out where the hell I'm going wrong.
I had 1.57 on my phone, rooted. I did the OTA update to 1.83. Then I ran Gingerbreak. After rooting, I put Greyblur on my phone, so I thought I had root access since SystemRestore ran.
I now have root, theoretically ... but I can't see half the files that I used to be able to (when I mount /system as r/w I can't write to it ...). [edit]Also, I can't "adb shell mount" ... I can push/pull files from the /system directory, but I can't edit them directly either through RootExplorer or "adb shell; $su" etc.[/edit]
I can't see user data in my files; it looks like TitaniumBackup can, since it's creating backup files, but I don't trust that it's actually getting all my user data.
I want to redo my phone from scratch, but I'm worried I won't be able to actually save all my user data/databases/etc from programs ... things that say they save to the sdcard on this seem to save to /mnt/sdcard on the Atrix (not sdcard-ext)... which is actually the internal memory of the phone, not the removable sdcard (AFAICT).
Any chance anyone can help with this? Or do I have to just try to back up what I can, reflash to 1.26, root, "beforeupdate", update to 1.57, "after update", 1.83, gingerbreak, and hope for the best?
Any help is appreciated. Very valuable help will be rewarded with beer donations, etc.
Thanks in advance.

This question is being asked allot lately. You kind of answered it yourself in a literal way: As far as your phone is concerned, you are transferring the files to sd. Your not using the apps2extsd app (because it doesn't exist afaik). I know thats only one part of your question, hope you get the answers you need.

Right ... and the point of this is that if I remove my (physical) SD Card to preserve my files, it won't actually do anything because it's the INTERNAL memory that has my files/databases/etc.
Again, there's a bounty on solving this problem for me ... hopefully people look at this thread

I think you missed the point. Apps2sd is not to "preserve" anything, but for phones lacking enough memory to install the apps users want. We are lucky with the Atrix. We will probably never fill it up to the point we cant install anymore apps, but other phones have that problem. This is the purpose of apps2sd. If you want preservation use TiBU. Again I know this was only part of your question and wish you luck in finding the solutions you need.

Yeah, I have/use TiBU (PRO) ... what I am not sure of is:
1. If I flash the 1.26 sbf to my phone, will the TiBU backups get deleted from my internal memory? Or do I need to save them to my PC first (will probably do this anyway).
2. If I later reinstall from my TiBU backups, will all my saved games, program databases, etc, also be imported back onto the phone?
3. Are there other files that I need that I'd want to back up, but I won't be able to because I don't really have root?
4. How can I be certain that I actually have root access, and not some half-assed root access that Moto/ATT let me have while hiding full system access?
5. Why can I no longer mount my /system folder as r/w, along with not being able to see /system/data?
That's all, I think.
Thanks.

Back them up to your PC. SBF shouldn't clear your external/internal SD card, but most will wipe /data/ partition which contains all of the app settings and data.
They should be, yes.
Anything you can backup, you should. I'm not sure what you mean by you "don't really have root." Check for Superuser in your app drawer. If it's not there, install it. Gingerbreak/Gingerblur delete a LOT of stuff when you use them. I personally avoid them for this very reason.
There's no such thing as "half-assed root access." You either have it, or you don't. Make sure the su binary is in /system/bin and that you have Superuser.apk installed and listed in your app drawer.
What error messages is it giving you when you try?

Sometimes TiBu and RootExplorer need to be restarted for root to take place. I'd say at this point (If you haven't already.), give your phone a reboot. That might smooth any other issues out.

Look for the service SBF for 1.83. There's two versions, one that wipes /data and one that doesn't. If you use the one that doesn't (I have SEVERAL times), you should be good to go.

hello
i just bought this phone a couple hours ago
tell me did i mess up? i can't find any roms, kernels, or recoveries for this phone.
i've spent the last couple hours searching for any info and haven't found even a little.
i have it rooted with superoneclick, i can't adb push any files though, like the UOT kitchen files.
any help would be greatly appreciated
This phone!
Its not bad a phone but its just sluggish and yeah i have been trying to find ROMS and BUILDS for this phone. Someone make something please:
well i found a forum for this phone model, not much info available yet, except confirmed rooting...
http://androidforums.com/samsung-gravity-smart/
Awe man well at least im hoping there is someone who has this device and is willing to make a rom!
Not a bad phone but it needs to be cleaned up badly.
Over clocking it does help it a lot.
I have just rooted my gravity smart, but still can't uninstall telenav and others...did I do something wrong? I watched the video, and followed the steps, it was VERY easy, install, click root, pretty much. Still need to get rid of all the junk apps...
Hi Guys i just wanted to be part of this thread for updates. My lil sister has one of these and I wanted to get more info. Ill be on the look out as well and keep you guys posted.

until we get a different kernel developed, we can't overclock the cpu.
the stock kernel doesn't have support for overclocking.
at least from what i'm understanding anyway.
we can raise the floor but not the roof.
yes the superuser and other box thing got installed, and I saw the super user, but when I run it there is no apps in it...do you use the other one to uninstall things?
Yes BusyBox both got installed.

from what i'm interpreting...
superuser is the administrator or babysitter
busybox is the interpreter or the middle man
to unistall programs, such as system apps, which i wouldnt do until we have a ROM or RECOVERY available, i use titanium backup.
note that when u back up a system app, it only backs up the information file, not the app itself...
so if u uninstall it and want it back, youre screwed basically.. probably not completely, but pretty much. i learned this the hard way.
now, if you backup a user app, it saves the app itself.. unlike system apps.
just use titanium backup and "FREEZE" the system apps you don't want, for now.
please don't uninstall them.
infact, if anyone could get me a copy of the 3d gallery and music app that comes with this phone, i'd be much appreciated.
i hope this helps you.
i've asked around for some help porting a recovery, no replies yet
Recovery
Any responses yet? :l
Im actually happy you are doing something about this
Much oblige
Freeze First..
I used Titanium backup pro to freeze unwanted files first and let that be for a day or so after a couple of reboots. Then I uninstalled what was not needed. Baby steps here is my best recommendation since the first time I did this I bricked my phone. I also had an email into Kousch but to no avail.
Keep Moving Forward,

unrooting?
I'm kind of a noob at this but can I unroot this device so I won't void the warranty?
Also. Anyone have all the apks of all the apps this phone came with?
I would greatly appreciate it!
i wish i had dumped the system folder before i started uninstalling apps myself...
maybe someone who hasnt uninstalled anything yet would post a link to a dump of the /system/app/ folder with the apks for us...
if someone was willing to do this for us, i'd recommend a factory reset prior to dumping the files
Hey guys! I got this phone as a warranty replacement for my Cliq (WORST PHONE EVER). I was excited at first cause it worked much faster and came w/ 2.2. But now it seems like this is the develpment communities step child! Where are all the devs???? Anyway, I'm a totall beginner when it comes to Android development. I have not yet rooted, and would be happy to provide you guys with anything if it means bringing some life to the development of this phone. Let me know what I can do!
P.s. I would be happy to provide a system dump, just need instruction on how to do so.
hey comoc85
welcome to the stepchild thread, lol
easy to root this phone with superoneclick
here is a link to the Samsung Kies Program that has the usb drivers bundled for our phone for rooting, etc.

here is a link for a youtube video for rooting our phone as well
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMg5LfPW5m4&feature=player_embedded
are you familiar with using adb commands?
if so, easy to grab all the system apps for us or yourself for later
just by entering "adb pull /system/app/" and it will dump your system apps
probably zip them for uploading, be sure to factory reset prior to dumping so that your information isnt included.
remember, don't unistall any system apps once rooted till we get a developer to make a rom for us. some people have bricked this phone doing that. also note this is a "touchwiz" phone and do not remove and apps named "TW....." or it will cause errors..
titanium backup does not backup system apps, i found out after i unistalled them... it acts like it does but only backs up the data, not the app itself...
it would be wise, even for yourself, to dump your /system/app/ folder to your computer incase you need to replace a app you borked somehow... our firmware isnt available on samusngs website yet, or samfirmware.com
i wish i had known to dump my /system/app/ folder prior to uninstalling a few things... but my phone still works... anyway, found some build.prop edits that work on our phone for a lil tweaking..
hopefully someone will pick up development on this phone..
i dont understand how to cook a rom or i'd attempt it, and without a recovery to make a backup, i surely don't want to attempt it..
have a great day
oh to dump your system/apps/ folder you have to be rooted and have sdk + java installed on your computer..
if you're into changing roms etc, you'll need to learn this stuff anyway.
here's a link to a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1SOSXwkc_8

ive done factory reset several times while being rooted and not lost root or had any problems... this is due to having the stock recovery...
dont ever do a factory reset while using a custom recovery... brick brick brick..
like i said though, factory reset while under stock recovery while rooted is fine.
oh i had problems with the newest superoneclick version and tried version 1.9.5 without any hangups or problems.. just fyi
Thanks so much to all those who helped me root! It was nothing short of a miracle.
Anyhoo, prior to rooting, I read that having root access is not a good idea for those who don't know what they are doing because they could really mess things up. Therefore, I need to know what NOT to do.
Also, should I disable debugging again or leave it as it was during the root process?
From what I've read it looks like even if you mess it up bad you can recover to new with the SD card method or 8x failed boot.
If this is your first time rotting any device, i would suggest you to use the search function religiously, and please keep asking questions if you are unsure of anything.
Almost the whole process can be redone with no harm to the device, ie bricking. Some booboo may make it a bit harder to fix, like erasing your keyboard apk or just generally not double checking your work before rebooting the device, ie granting permission and ocerwriting files. Use titanium backup, it is your best friend.
I would suspect the hardest thing to achieve is establishing usb debugging on your pc, looking for the long string of numbers when you initially run Indirect's script. He has done a lot for our community, given us a lot of the tools that we use.
Last but not least, use the "thank you" button if someone helped you.
Ps: in that order: allow install from unknown source, uncheck/recheck both usb debugging, uncheck automount.
Welcome!

You set usbdebugging prior to your very first rooting attempt, and unless specified by a dev, leave that setting enabled. It's been known you may have to "uncheck/recheck" usb debugging to achieve root or block OTA or other functions, don't ask me why.
Whew--OK, then I should be good to go!
One last question (yeah right)!
If I only got as far as blocking the OTA to the point where my software version says "unavailable"--am I safe from the OTA? I didn't get so far as restoring the BN stuff.

don't quote me, but i believe there were instances where OTA was pushed even with "unavailable" version number. Your ultimate goal is to get 9.9.9 using Indirect's script. here's what i did:
First i backup my original .com.bn.devicemanager in case i made a mistake. I erase any previous restore copy of devicemgr in Titanium backup of devicemanager. Go to dev setting, and uncheck/rechck usb debugging (see?), load the contents of indirect's KillOTA zip files into your Titanium backup folder on your SD card. Hit restore (app+data), and voila! Then check settings page, you should be 999 now.
Rooting is a fairly easy and safe process.. If you use Titanium Backup it is generally a good idea to freeze apps instead of deleting them.
Read, enjoy, and ask questions if you cant find the answer before doing anything you are unsure about..

I would suggest looking at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405418
Having the software version at "unavailable" might be sufficient, but Indirect's method sounds even more promising (and won't cause B&N services to function in an odd way should you choose to use them).
[edit] I'm too slow. Too many people trying to help!
I did root yesterday (a long, arduous process for someone like me!) but I just wanted to make sure that what I did yesterday is still current for blocking the OTA, even though I only got as far as getting my software version to say "unavailable"--(meaning, BN store and whatnot no longer works for me.)
Or, do I need to do the whole process that was shown on the video "How to block the OTA update" ?
Even though "unavailable" may be sufficient, but Indirect has given us a zip files that we patch in our SD card's tb folder. Given his track record, i'd say stick with his method here's the link.
OK, thanks! LOL, more for me to work on today. What seems easy peasy to most is like hieroglyphics to me The part I didn't do was the "restore DeviceManagerService"--I'm such a NooB.

Still learning all this, but have what is probably a very stupid questions. I understand all, but what does "RESTORE" DeviceManagerService mean. What does the RESTORE part mean? Is it just copy over the original version with an updated one or is it something you click-on to restore?

When you are in Titanium and tap on DeviceManagerService 2.3.4, you should first tap "Backup" and then at that point if you tap DeviceManagerService 2.3.4 again you should see the "restore" button.
So I can't find any info on this problem I've had, so I thought I'd look into it a little more.
On CleanROM ICS 3.5 and 3.7 Titanium Backup would hang during an 'everything' batch backup. I was able to backup what I really needed one-by-one prior to upgrading, but that kinda blew.
So I researched it and the Ti wiki page got me to a solution (see #27). Ultimately the answer was "You might have incorrect permissions (eg: 04755) on your "su" binary, which causes problems with some root apps."
After a few commands in a shell it all worked fine. But my question is: am I the only one that has this issue? And, will I have to fix this every time I install a new ICS ROM?
I would like to understand what/ why this happens... so thanks in advance.
I haven't had any issues with TiBu on ICS. Are you trying to backup system settings and apps or just user apps? I used to backup everything when I first started rooting but due to many lessons learned I only backup user apps now and have been able to backup and restore to and from ICS without a hitch. Also, before you start the backup have you tried to update your SU binary? Not sure if that would help or not but might be worth a try.

I have been using TB with ICS roms and haven't had a similar problem, so you shouldn't have to do it every time.
One thing to make sure of though, most people don't recommend TB with ICS, and definitely not if you are moving from GB --> ICS. I restore app only (no data), from ICS to ICS and haven't had any problems.
I guess since I don't really play games on my phone, and the ones I do play keep the data on servers, I have never really seen much use for Titanium backup. I really only keep a few apps as well. I guess if I had a couple hundred apps it may be different. Anyway, it seems like most of the time when people try to backup and restore with TIBU, there are problems. It makes it difficult to diagnose issues with new ROM installs. If you're doing a wipe and fresh install, you may as well make it a fresh install.
Thanks for the input. I guess I'm glad I'm the only one who has run into this... hopefully next time I don't have to do the permission fix, but if I do, at least I know how to fix it.

I'm actually running into the same thing. I fell upon this thread trying to figure out what the heck is going on.
I have the latest TB on my Galaxy Nexus (running rooted with AOKP M4). Thought it was the Kernel, so flashed back to stock, then nothing. changed all sorts of things in the TB app, nothing. Reverted to an older one...nothing.
So I am going to do what you have done. I saw that info on their site & figured i'd give it a try. No matter what I do, TB keeps hanging & not responding period.
If you got it to work with that method, hopefully it will fix my issue as well. I have had luck restoring with it from 4.0.2 to ICS 4.0.3, but this is my first attempt to use it since ICS 4.0.3.
I want to update the ROM, but until I get TB working, i'll wait.
Now I just have to figure out how to do this whole ADB shell thing. Working on it now....

Type "ADB SHELL" into your command prompt (probably after ADB DEVICES to make sure you are connected). You'll see # (maybe a number or two with it). Then do each line of code from the wiki one by one.
Disconnect your phone, reboot, hope.
Good luck.

I have the TD-1010, I can and am will to help you out here, but I am running into a problem you seem to have already figured out.
I was googling the Internets for drivers to TD-1010 for Windows, for the same program/script/batch file you were recommending for rooting the TD-1010. I need to get said drivers before I am able to root the TD-1010 and backup redistribute said OS to you my good sir. At current the script can't find the device without the drivers. Hopefully I'll hear from you soon so I can do you a favor in return.
PS do you have the problem with it randomly freezing, or is that just me...?

THank you so mucjh for the reply. I havnt had any issues with this device that i didnt create myself. lol. even now i have not seen any random freezing... ive seen it maybe hang for about 3-5 seconds when loading large apps, is that what you mean , or is it actually freezing right up and needing a reset?
PS: , its been a while since i rooted it and cant seem to find the drivers i used, i am searching now, will post a link as soon as i find them.

YOUR THE MAN!!!
downloading files now, ill let you know how it works out. thank you !!!!!!
there was one more thing
I almost forgot. Another thing i did was wipe out the dalvik cache and i think i may have lost something there. if you could go into data/dalvik-cache and make a copy of that whole folder for me would be a huge help as well. thanks again!

I have never used titanium backup before, i thought that it would work, but it does not appear to actually back the applications up, just the settings and configurations for them or something. unfortunately, That will not help me fix this. it looks like the only way to do it is to use this app: http://www15.zippyshare.com/v/78017991/file.html . it is called "root uninstaller pro". i didnt want to ask someone to use this if i didnt have to because it is how i messed mine up, but if you make sure not to delete anything while your in there and just back everything up it will not harm your device at all. im a dumbass and started removing stuff i didnt really know what it was and then i lost my back up so i could not reinstall. thank you again for all the time you have taken on this already. would you be willing to use the root uninstaller program to make proper backups that will work for me?

i think i figured it out,
lol... i just had to resresh the app list and then they were there to restore.
YAYYYYYY!!!!!
It worked! I can not tell you how much I appreciate it! thank you so much.
So I looked up info on both backup programs, and they are both equivalent to using the add/remove OR uninstall feature of windows. I used Nandroid for the full images you already should have the link to my drop box. Since this is a full copy of my system I do require you not distribute it and remove any of my account settings you may find. Feel free to keep any of the apps I have already installed (they were all free anyways). Good luck

HAH!!! I just did a backup and everything and you've had it working to the past 2 hours lol...
PS I think I now know that my power adapter is making my device freeze since it only happens when plugged in, I think.

Drivers
IMaybe a little help? I have been following your post and cannot seem to get the drivers to install. I have tried on both w7 and xp. Both computers see it in usb mode but once switched to usb debugging and directed to the driver file you posted it gives me the error the error message incorrect drivers. Any suggestioned would be greatly appericated.
Titanium back up creates compressed file with apk.gz extension. That is where the app is and you can use 7zip or your favorite util to get tin the install file which will have a .apk extension. Once you do that you can install the app. Copy the app to SD or via cloud drive like dropbox and install.
