Root Rooting the Motorola Admiral

Hi guys. Just wondering if you experienced any problems after rooting?

Occasionally when I lock my screen, wait a few minutes, and then unlock it, the screen glitches rapidly just before the lockscreen appears. I have a feeling that it might be related to renaming the camera/camcorder shutter sound files. It's minor but definitely noticable.
 
I have had no problems with the screen. But I did get WiFi tether working. BUT when I enable WiFi Encryption and change the Passphrase then it stops working.
 
oh yes and 1 other thing when it was working my speeds were SLOW 1/2 mb down and up. But I'm in a building so that was no shock
 
No problems with the screen here. The only buggy behavior I've seen is 2-3 sontaneous reboots since I've owned it. No idea if rooting is responsible, but it certainly could be.

>Surreal Great that you got the tether working. I havent tried encrypting it yet, so I may have the same issue if I do.

Yeah mine has rebooted while I'm using it about 3 times in total since I rooted it. Even before rooting, it randomly rebooted itself every now and then, just like my old Droid Pro. I think it's just a Motorola thing.

I really wish there were some custom ROMs, MotoBlur is unacceptable.
 
I wanna thank San DIego and Zelda and my playbook wants to than you as well.
I finally got wifi tether to work with your help.
One quick question , can I enable security so everyone in my job doesnt steal my wifi.

This procedure worked for me:
How to get your phone back on the upgrade path...

Now to find a WiFi Thethering app that works....

Edit: On my Motorola Admiral

Things I did to setup *before* following the link abaove.

On my PC:
Install Android SDK
Install phone drivers. (The phone auto-ran a Moto Sync tool when I first plugged it in to my PC, which seemed to install these for me.)

On my phone:
Enable USB Debugging
Enable Non-market apps
Set USB connection to "None" when I plug it in to computer.

On my PC, I then ran "adb devices" in a CMD prompt to verify the debugger could see my phone. attached to this post is a screen shot of this CMD showing my device after running that command.

I then used the Windows-only 1-click-exploit in the link I posted above, from a CMD prompt. I'm not totally sure, but I think I may have had to run it twice. I think the first time it didn't find my phone, or had to restart the adb service or something.

Update just killed my tethering..Dont update.
Do a search on Update killed Root..Looks like someone has blue tooth doing the tethering until a fix pops out.
