Root Brand New Froyo 2.3.13

[Retrokid223]

opppsssyyyyy i didnt know i could make another one but i would have to remove my gmail account pill thanks for the heads up
BTW: i changed my google info

 

[D13]

How? wouldn't you have to back it up before the setup? Is there a way to edit the Google account user name? If not it isn't going to work out.

why couldn't I wipe data and cache in recovery before I backup

You can't remove that account at least I never could.
Oh don't be surprised if you get an email from someone name BBWHotShemaleLookingforlove

If that makes you go through setup I guess it'll work. I would suggest a little testing before posting though if not for that little snag it was a nice easy way to do the update for sure.

If somebody could do it so no data gets out its really a nice idea. One sucker...I mean daring individual can do all the updating, rooting ,theme ing and then make a back for distribution. It would really make it easy for the rest.

yep...for sure, don't wan't you having my info

I did an advanced system only and at first I had my info but it changed once it started syncing. Who's name is on your google account? Did you have to do the setup after you did the restore? If you come in to the phone after using his backup and your past the setup you will have his account. There is no way to get into the phone to do the backup without having setting your Google account during setup. I can tell you this he seems to have something for Footlocker

I didn't have to set up any accounts. I just checked my accounts and synced a couple times and I still only have my account info.

I hope his info isn't anywhere on my phone! I don't see any new sneaker offers yet.

I didn't setup any accounts either. Thats the problem it was a backup with his account info. It had two email accounts one was Googles (His) and another that uses the other email client (that red one it uses the same email account just a different client) I noticed it because I had a Google Account sign on failure on the notification bar. So I checked the accounts and found his accounts and none of mine.. The Google account was failing to sign on and I'm think it was because somehow it is tied to your phone but the other client even had an email pushed to it.

Trust me he doesn't want this out there.

I just dropped that footlocker thing so you would know it was legit. I won't bring up the picture of the sneaker wearing a thong with some Thang dangerously close though, so don't worry.....................opps

So is anyone else having trouble re-rooting? Using the Droid 2 method, when I start to push superuser.apk I get the error "failed to copy "Superuser.apk" to /system/app/Superuser.apk: Read-only file system" If anyone could help I would really appreciate it!

did you get a # instead of a $ ???? If not you don't have access to the system files.

 

[xlch59]

For people having trouble getting root back using the droid 2 method try this

there's a comment on the RootzWiki D2 page which has the missing steps:

fixes in bold:
- let the process run until it returns you to c:/Droid2Root
- cd c:/wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder-is
- adb devices (to verify the connection)
- adb shell (you should now have a # prompt)
- mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
- exit

- cd c:/Droid2Root
- adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
- adb push su /system/bin/su
- adb push busybox /system/bin/busybox
- adb shell
- chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
- chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
- mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
- sync
- exit

I trust you. Just want to be sure his accounts aren't on mine

You have to run the adb command from the \sdk\tools directory

My guess would be something like:

c:\Users\Eric\Downloads\android-sdk_r07-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push c:\Droid2Root\rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

Can anyone else verify?

You need to be in the android-sdk-windows\tools folder for the 'adb' command to work.

ssshh don't tell anyone

that's why I am waiting for FlyX v1.0

Better yet, add the tools directory to your PATH, and then you can use adb in any folder

The instruction have an error. Once you cd away from the Tools directory the command can't find adb (because it is in the tools directory and now you're in Droid2Root.) The easiest thing to do is to unrar it to the tools directory (or where ever your adb.exe is) and not Droid2root then the commands work.


OH I see 8 people beat me to it already. Nothing to see here move along

 

[emr25]

Ok, I'm new to all of this (I have .sbf flashed, rooted using Androot, understand ROM Manager and all of that, but never used adb).

What do I need to change to make it work, I pretty much just copy and pasted the lines from the Droid 2 method on RootzWiki.

ya got a link for how to do that?

lol thats a good one and by the looks of P3 twitter tranquility should be up tonight



Newest Tranquility = 113.71MB Free Gallery now has HDMI MMS compiled from source (new) Contacts/Calendar/Phone (Blur) Running 24+ hrs

 

[jroc]

Installing the SDK | Android Developers

Its in Step 2.

If using Windows, at the very end, put a ; if its not there and add the total path that points to the tools.

Ex: ;c:\folder\androidsdk\tools\

 

[Fabolous]

Um, I don't but I can explain it, at least for Win 7 (probably the same on Vista)

Right click my computer, properties.

Go to advanced system settings on the left, environmental variables in the advanced tab.

In system variables (bottom list), scroll down to PATH, and the variable value will have a semicolon separated list of folders that are in your PATH.

Add you SDK tools folder to that tab using the same syntax, and save and apply.

Not sure if you need to do a reboot or not, but afterwards, you should be able to use adb (or anything else you put in the tools folder) from any folder via the command prompt.
