How to remove a hack?? - Motorola Droid X2

I want to remove the beats audio hack from my phone because at least while using headphones, I noticed a blatent drop in sound quality. I use another EQ app from the market because DSP FC's and it's still noticeable.
Never used this until today (was reading over apps forum) and decided to try it but now I don't want it.
Is there a way to remove the hack without having a sbf or wipe my data?
Thanks

You can grab the bin, etc, lib and framework files from your rom and then use root explorer to overwrite what you have now and that should remove the beats files.

Unfortunatly i dont believe there is way a way to remove this hack.. Your best bet would be to just sbf ur phone it kinda sucks because if u were to do backup u will bringing that hack right back to ur phone. If i was in ur shoes i would save ur most wanted apps to sdcard or write them down so u dont forget what ones u had. Just sbf ur phone.. that way u wont have to hassle with a bunch of problems. Also there is a new update 1.3.418 for the droid x2 it bring it from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 and there is way to root this go to my thread in droid x2 general OFFICIAL 2.3.5 ROOT METHOD. Zergrush rooting method and others do not work on 2.3.5 so dont try them.

No thanks. On CM7 and I'm gonna stay here. Until 9 at least.... Also I could update/restore seeing as how I have a NANDROID backup After RC1 BEFORE mods were applied and after so......
I was just kinda busy when I posted this. Needed my phone and wasn't it a position to play Mr. Hacker with it. You can let this thread die now, thanks

Rooting the DX2 without SBF

Is it possible? I've heard of one click root process, but I can't find that thread with the directions. If there is one, can someone link it for me? Thanks.

Search. It's a button, and I can confirm... it works.
Check the stickies in the dev section, everything is laid out right there for u, and one click works flawlessly ; )

There is also a sticky right here in general forum made by moonshadow.
Easy as pie.
And we don't have a sbf that gives us root anyway. If u sbf at all u r going to need to use the rooting methods again to regain root

Let's be clear. It's called Pete's Motorola Root Tools. ...and hyperlinks are your friend.
And just to clear some things up, SBFing has nothing to do with rooting. You don't SBF to root or root to SBF. One does not require the other.
SBFing means putting your phone back to a particular stock install which makes it no longer rooted. Hence, if you SBF to a stock image (2.2.2, 2.3.3, 2.3.4), you'll lose any root privileges you had and you'll have to re-root your phone.
SBFing requires having an application called RSDLite as well as a particular SBF image (Froyo - 2.2.2, Gingerbread - 2.3.3 or 2.3.4).
Rooting requires running an application such as Pete's Motorola Tools that allows you to have root access to your phone. This means you are unlocking the phone so you can perform various other functions, such as running Titanium Backup so you can backup not only applications, but the data associated with said applications. It also allows you to make other tweaks under the hood to help make your phone run better, such as running Zepplinrox's turbo charger scripts, adding the init.d hack to allow you to run various startup scripts when you reboot and last, but not least, it also allows you to flash ROMs on the phone.
Hopefully that clears some things up for you.

[Q] NEED Beginners Guide

I was looking for any information on how to root Droid X2 I looked in the list and did not find it listed I know what rooting your phone is and I understand the benefits and possible side effects if done incorrectly I have tried to do as much research as possible and am still not finding the answers I am looking for. I have jailbroken iphones and ipod touches as well as unlocked many phones. The droid X2 has me still confused as to where even to begin the process of i have seen people call it Pre-rooting. I dont know what I should use as far as the rooting app with what my system is running nor can I seem to find anything on 2.3.4. hopefully maybe someone here can give me a step by step process to follow for what I need to have on my phone as far as apps software and so fourth to get my phone rooted. I have put all my phone information below. any advice tips or instructions would be much appreciated. I am a beginner at all of this new technology and am just trying to get into it so I am lousy with the abrev. like SPFing OTA ROM Nandroid?? Also Froyo dont really get where I can find any specific how to's on knowing what they do where you can find them what they mean. I believe froyo is something you go to for back ups other than that I am not quite sure. OTA I am guessing firmware?? I am truely at lose with all of it and would love to learn more. I am not planning on rooting my phone until I am absolutely sure that I can do it and that I understand every aspect of all the steps and programs involved. thank you in advance for any help or tips Droid X2 Android version 2.3.4
? Baseband Version n_03.13.28s ???
? Kernal version 2.6.32.9-00005-g2440aba ??
? ERI version 5 ??
?? PRL version 52522 ??? ANY ??? MEANS I DONT KNOW IF YOU NEED THIS
INFO. NOR DO I KNOW WHAT IT IS AND ITS
PURPOSE ANY HELP IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
Search, use it. You're welcome.
Check out the stickies and they will take you to guides depending if your on froyo (2.2) or GB (2.3). If your on froyo, I suggest upgrading by OTA (over the air) by going under menu, phone info, and upgrade. Then use the guides under the stickies to do zerg rush or Pete's one click root. The Ginger break doesn't work on our GB, I know, weird, but oh well. But use zerg or Pete rooting methods to root
You will know you have root by seeing super user app in your apps
Namdroids are back ups. It takes a "screen shot" of your whole system and saves it so you can restore and have everything EXACT how it was before! I use multiple nandroids to "dual boot" different ROMs. You can make nandroids with tenfars version of clockwork mod. You will need to install it after you root. It should tell you where and how in the guide you use.
Welcome to the DX2!

Go to the first post in devs section by booked. He has it all. Use Pete's one click root can not get any easier first. Then you can flash a custom rom just remember you need to wipe data and both cache in recovery. Also a nano back up is basically where you go into recovery and back up the rom where you are at that time. That wah if you mess up you can always go back. But yes go to that thread and read. Good luck.

Recovery

Is there a custom recovery for the milestone x2?

Edit I am num I thought this was in the dev forum sorry.
Thanks! Ill give this a shot... Apologize for not searching more thoroughly.
Did you try the dx2BSR.apk?
No, dont know anything about that .apk lol
I pasted the files and set the permissions appropriately and powered off then plugged in to wall and CWR in. Since I dont know of any roms I just did a backup and rebooted.
Are you 235 or 236?
oh sorry... 2.3.6
Need 235 for wifi on our 235 roms. Most roms don't do a kernel check. Do my Miui nandroid of Ace's rom. One guy did it but no wifi . You could hack in the needed 236 sys apk but if the problem is in system/framework forget it.
Do Eclipse you would get more help hacking the wifi.
What sort of hack? Im kinda reluctant to take many chances being this is a work phone. If it was mine I could take it back to CSpire as I bricked a Milestone X a few months back and had no problems with a warranty exchange
Do eclipse you can just nand back. Some in that thread may come up w/ a fix. IDNK. IT would be trial & error for me . I'm no Dev.
Thanks for you prompt replies and help...
Just wanting to be 100% sure... So I can flash Eclipse 2.1 from where I stand now or I need to restore to your MUI nand first then Eclipse?
Post in their thread. Just one at a time. Eclipse is 235. While Miui is 234. When eclipse was 234 a mx2'er did it on 235 and all was good but wifi.
BE SURE and flash ReRecovery b4 you leave cwr if you wipe data or flash a rom as you have no sbf . Read all my thread.
Thanks again for your help, It was easy to just follow steps with the desire but motorola has crap so locked down, its made me a bit more cautious and active these last couple days lol. Ill pay more attention courteously with the posts
EDIT: Oh so now with cwm loaded all I have to do now is flash the rerecovery zip instead of copying & pasting and setting permissions? Thats what I want sure about earlier.
The zip does the same as you did (or the apk) but from cwr. Do you have a sbf? You are really putting RR to the test (relying on it) if you don't.
No sbf. Dunno where to get one.

So be sure to do the BU, data wipe, Flash RR and restore testing in the mx2 section.

Did you sbf and take the latest OTA? The current version of the Eclipse will function only on that version of gingerbread.
yes but ill try it again just to back track my steps. I have factory reset had to sbf after Miui and before. I always sbf and wipe no matter what I do I am kind of OCD and have to start new Ill give it a go right now.
I have also tried new SD cards as well. I have been messing with dev. for a while so I know a lot about it I also read everything and more before I do anything (OCD) Been working on my A100 and its been easy and was easy flashing Miui dont know what I missed
I have the correct 2.3.5 (412) build so I dont get it

If you are trying to flash Eclipse 2.2.1, you must be on the OTA 2.3.5 (418) build. Also, you have to root 2.3.4 and backup root using Voodoo before updating to 2.3.5.
and remove voodoo's su backup, before flashing eclipse

Latest official is 418. Latest eclipse won't work with 412. That could be the problem.

That isn't the latest build. 418 is.

I'll remove voodoo but I DL Eclipse that was with the 412 file in the same thread unless I did not see It right. I tried to flash this a week ago and had to stop messing w/it I was editing band pics in PS & LR so I just now picked it up again. I DL the Blur version 412 should I kick that to the curb and DL 418? I was under the impression that the GBP7v0.5 would work with 2.3.5 412 though if so that would not flash as well

Correct me if I am wrong Eclipse did work with that version at one time or no? I saw Eclipse 3.0 but have not read the forum yet and I have been working on my Acer tab more. When I was on 2.3.4 I had no issues with Miui I had to sbf to 2.3.4 from OTA Leak 2.3.5 b/c I was not to fond of that rom at that time I will flash it at another time. I really dig the Eclipse Rom so if I need to start ov and it looks that way then I will have to read up on everything so I know what I am doing and not half assing it. I hate doing that.

I saw the 3.0 version for the Bionic and I have 418 DL now I am going to read some and flash the 418 and try Eclipse then if all is good take care of voodoo and hope it works. However I have some reading to do before hand. I am sure if it foes not go right I'll complain about it even if it is an operator error I'll still have to blame my DX2 for any errors. I think thats how it works

Edit: See post below.
You don't even need voodoo anymore. Just take ota and root using motofail.

Did ya get it?
LaserChicken, those steps are incorrect!!
In order to flash eclipse 2.2.1 just do this...
-SBF to 2.3.4
-Root using Petes 1 click method
-Download VooDoo OTA Rootkeeper from play store
-Backup root & TEMP UNROOT (do not delete backup yet!!!!!!! )
-Settings>About Phone>Software Update> DOWNLOAD 2.3.5 OTA
*After downloading 2.3.5 from system settings the phone will reboot to stock recovery and install 2.3.5 kernel.*
-Reboot
-Open VooDoo, restore root
-NOW DELETE SU BACKUP FROM VOODOO
-Once you restore root & delete the backup < IMPORTANT! from voodoo you should be able to flash eclipse from BSR

Straight from nitro in another thread. Sbf, take ota, root via motofail, install bsr and flash eclipse then profit. So much easier than the previous method.

saw that, but I haven't got motofail to work with 2.3.5/1.3.418
Ok, I just grabbed Motofail, gonna sbf and try it myself.
I am about to try this one more time I have been dealing with my psycho fish giving birth to about 80 swimming eyeballs so its been a crappy day and I hope my DX2 does not feel the wrath. I have Factory Rest the phone with and without Voodoo I have also let it OTA and that was with the Stock version 2.3.4 MOTO sent installed on the phone. I have missed a little step and I am going to do what well...all of you guys said and ill let ya know in about 30. Also you guys F-Ing ROCK!!!!

mods delete please

mods delete please delete thread thank you
You can upgrade to 2.3.4 via sbf for cm7 and cm9 or take the ota to 2.3.5 for eclipse rom. Voodoo ota root keeper does work I am not sure if an ota will take you to 2.3.4 or if it will go directly to 2.3.5 . And you should root with Pete's easy root. There is zergrush but that moves some system files that sometimes messes with custom roms. Also delete your backup of su in root keeper after upgrade before flashing rom at least on eclipse. I had a Droid x and got the x2 as a warranty replacement i was first excited then came to be dissapointed. Thankfully the dx2 forum is the best out there and we've got a few excellent devs.
