Root [HOW-TO] Manually deodex your phone.

P.S. Since this is my thread I can hijack it for something else... lol. Can someone point me in a good direction to get ADB working. I use terminal for everything, but most people write their tuts for ADB.
 
its a rom... called FlyX... its in Rom Manager right now, but hasn't been uploaded so its an empty folder.

Another stuck at motorola logo here... damn.

If it means anything, when I tried to do the commands:
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
the cmd prompt said:
cp: /sdcard/done_app/* No such file or directory
cp: /sdcard/done_frame/* No such file or directory

Good thing I can boot to stock recovery, select reboot system and the phone boots back into clockwork...

nandroid is HUGE at this point in the game

Yep now you know what its all about. "Recovery":D

And that says it all.
 
Hmmm... weird... I copied and pasted the address while I was posting in the thread. Oh well, glad you found it.
 
It failed the first time for me and said something about making sure my phone stays connected next time...ran it again without doing anything different and it worked perfect. All themed up now! Thanks!
 
I'm rooted on 2.2, everything goes fine, i enter all the commands at cmd but when I'm at the last line, I enter "mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system" and it says, "Device or resource busy".

Anyone know what to do? I got this message one time already today and it resulted in a boot loop, don't really want to have to deal with that again. What do I do?

My phone is in USB Mass Storage mode, I followed all directions exactly...

Phone needs to be in Windows Media Sync Mode... whatever the second one down is, cant remember.

Just tried this, getting the same message. Anyone have any ideas? I can't figure out why this works for everyone but me. This is my third attempt, and of course each attempt after Nandroid takes near an hour...

Right now I'm in that Windows Sync mode or whatever it's called, the 2nd option down, got through the whole process, I'm on the last mount step and it's saying "Device or resource busy".

If no ideas how to make it work, any idea how I can exit this process without going into bootloop? It takes forever to restore from Nandroid EVERY time I try this...
 
i have a rooted Droid X running 2.2 with some bloatware removed. am i a candidate for this?

also how's the success/failure rate with this method?
 
Thank you so much.

Went through the guide and everything worked on the first try.

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but what are some possible themes I can put on here now?

Could anyone help me with the command prompt part?
Don't know the location where the commands are suposed to go.

Did you find your answer?

You have to be in the jar folder with your command line. Your cmd line should look something like c:\Downloads\xultimate-v2.2.2\jar>

As mentioned before the easiest way to do this is to boot the phone into recovery mode using Rom Manager after you get done with xUltimate. Then mount system and sdcard. Then run the commands and all will be fine.
