Hello. I rooted my Atrix and have had no problems. I deleted most of the bloatware. I also put the settings in for the apn and access wifi hotspot via this forum.
Just a couple minutes ago, I plugged in the HDMI cable to show my mother some stuff on the phone and how the Media Center is but it wouldnt come up. It came up before I did all the root. But now, when plugged in it would pop up on my screen asking what to select and then it would go away. Can someone help me on what possibly might have happened? I would really appreciate this. Thank you so much.
Nick
sounds like you deleted something when you were removing the bloatware.
as advised in other threads, don't remove it, freeze it with titamium backup.
do a factory reset and pray it comes back.
It wont come back after a factory reset so....what you have to do is get the retail motoblur dump file and push the apks to the phone using ADB. Remember to push them to the sytem not /data.
Thank desigegears for telling me this.

Yes I did a factory reset and it didnt come back. I just read the thread that talked about that uptop after I did this. I feel so bad. I screwed up. How do I get the Retail Motoblur dump file? And pushing the APKs to the phone using ADB. I havent done this in a while. Please any help I would really appreciate it.
One of the devs posted it on the forum, not sure where. MAybe on page two? just scroll down. To push them to adb, designgears posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966405 which shows how to push files. Just push the mediacenter one.
Thank you for the info. Im downloading a file where the dump said Blur_Version.4.1.26.MB860.ATT.en.US.tar.gz is that correct? It was in this forum. But the fileformat I dont know what to open that up with. Its like 145MB. I had to PM Designgears because I really dont know how to do this. I would just need the 1 file? I do have the phone rooted with Root Explorer. Anyway I can get the file on the phone and cut and paste it in the right path?
Ok that was the right file. I do have the mediacenter.apk file now. Anyway I can put this on there with the phone rooted? I have root Explorer and can paste that apk in there.
Use 7 zip to open the file. Got to the app folder and find the one named media center. Push that file or paste it into /system

I accidently deleated com.htc.android.world clock. Any way to get it back without a factory reset?
1) Questions do not go in this forum, they go in the "Q&A" forums
2)Download any sense ROM and just pull the /system/app/WorldClock.apk from the zip file and push it to your /system/app on the phone.
i downloaded the world clock apk, tried installing it using astro but wont install. how do i push the apk and odex files on the phone?

Agreed..plus you even took the time to check the box saying it was a question?????? then you could have taken the time to see the STICKY THREAD saying post questions in the right section.
second off if you dont know what your deleting before you delete it then you shouldnt be deleting stuff from your phone. Do some research before you start deleting items. PLUS do some research about pushing an item. quit being lazy.
Go to the market and get an app called system app remover(it works wonders)!

What program are you using to find it? You need something like root explorer which is a file system available on the market which gives you access to files you can not see with my files. It us not free but is very useful.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
i am not using any program. i am just connecting my phone to the computer and going into the command prompt...and then it tells me to pull settings.db i can't find it anywhere.
Do you have your phone rooted?
yes i do justmde
To use that command you need adb google it and will tell you how to install. Or you can use super manger from the market its free to get to the file. Be careful if you don't know what your doing you. I would read up om odin. One click and make sure you have the bottom combos just in case.
I am not too familiar with the command approach, but if you have root explorer you can navigate to your dbdata, darabases, com.android.providers.settings. Inside there us the file you are looking for. You can copy and paste it to you're internal sd. Then hook up to your computer and transfer the file to your pc. I believe you have to open some table and change a zero to a one. Save then drag back into your phone. Copy, paste back into the original directory where you found it. Over write, reboot.
Or you may consider a custom rom, all have this enabled, and have additional perks. Just saying, it is only a matter of time.

the main point that i wanna do..is i wanna go back to 2.1 and just save all of my apps and the progress in my apps. can somebody please message me or AIM me and walk me through???
I am completely new to this too man. I just rooted and enabled sideloading in about 10 minutes without even connecting my phone to a comp.
I'm not sure if it will work without installing the unleashthebeast thing, but to enable sideloading i just downloaded android terminal emulator from the market, opened it, typed in su, hit enter, then typed "sideloading". phone rebooted and now i can sideload.
Some how I got a message the other day "your trial version of swype is out of date" or whatever. So I dled the beta but I can't install it unless I remove the current. Here is what I've done and trust me IV searched xda and have done everything ppl have said.
I have a rooted done obviously
Dled astro explorer as well as root explorer to try and removed the files located in /system/app as well as the libswype file. It WONT let me delete them because its a system file. I've also tried to delete swype in titianium back up! And still doesn't remove of after the rebooted. I honestly don't know wtf to do at this point. I don't even know y swype all of a sudden told me my trial period is over. Its. Crazy. If someone could give me some sort of work around I'd appreciate it. Thanks alot

Try this:
Change your input method to something other than swype.
Reboot into CWM, make sure your system partition is mounted.
Fire up adb, and use these commands:
adb root
adb shell
rm -i /system/app/swype.apk (or whatever the swype installer's name is - use the "ls" command to find it if you need to)
rm -i (location of libswype files, repeating as necessary - sorry, I don't have my phone on me to tell you where they are)
exit
adb reboot
With any luck, that should get rid of it.
you see that little button in the top right corner of root explorer that says mount r/w? press that and then delete it...

Is it possible to unroot after using the 1 Click Root? I'm coming from a rooted Droid Eris and I remember the first few people who rooted their Erises had lots of problems and I just wanna make sure we can go back and re-root if a better root process comes along later on...

Yes, but you'd have to do it manually at this point.
You'd delete busybox and su, uninstall superuser.apk, and there may be a symlink you need to undo, but I think the latest one-click cleans that up. I'd have to go back and check.
And any bloat you froze needs to be unfrozen, or bloat removed needs to be restored.
Okay, first version of this tool, be kind and let me know if there are any problems with it.
Also: NO GUARANTEES. If it does something that breaks your phone, I am not liable. Use at your own risk. Etc., etc.

UPDATE 9/1/2011: version 1.03
I'm trying the one touch unroot and keep getting an error about the /sdcard/d3unroot folder missing files.
I extracted all of the APKs from your link to my /sdcard/d3unroot directory, but for some reason one touch unroot will not work.
The root worked great
same error here...
Get that error as well
Same here.
Why does it even need that to un-root @ that point?
I'm getting the same error.
Is it really a one-click method?
I'm a dummy so I think I'm gonna wait for some clarity.
Thanks for doing this, man!
Fully re-written and should un-root and restore /system/app for both v5.5.959 and v5.6.890. Enjoy!
http://www.psouza4.com/Droid3/PetesMotorolaRootTools_v1.03.zip
This program is for Windows only and can:
root your device (most Motorola Gingerbread devices)
unroot your device
restore your /system/app, even if you deleted files
And a bit more, such as un-freezing apps if you un-root just like Titanium Backup can.
So how do I do this. Is it the same as the one click root meaning unzip the file and put my phone into charging mode and let it do its thing

Pretty much -- this is an all-in-one. It'll tell you where to download files and where to put them when you begin.
I guess I'm just retarded I can't get this to work. I give up. Looks like I'm gonna have to get VZ to mail me a new D3

Why can't you? More than willing to help, but have to tell me what the problem is. And bear in mind that I put out a new version less than 2 hours ago that fixes a LOT (it's a full rewrite).
ok ive downloaded the file to my computer.
Keep getting the error for the Restore data not being in the right place. I've extracted the files to the right spot (I think)
is the restore folder supposed to be located in the Root Tools folder, and then all the apk's placed that Restore folder?

Basically, yes.
I'll use your desktop as an example, so if you have:
Desktop\New Folder\Pete's Motorola Root Tools.exe
Then you'll want to extract all the files for the /system/app fix to:
Desktop\New Folder\restore
So that you have:
Desktop\New Folder\restore\AccountAndSyncSettings.apk
Desktop\New Folder\restore\AccountAndSyncSettings.odex
Desktop\New Folder\restore\AdminFeedNotifier.apk
etc.
This assumes you are using my new version 1.03.

Ok for starters I'm rooted lol I use es explorer and have been for a very long time so I have all proper preferences selected and have edited sound,build,host files etc. in the past plenty of times.
My phone felt laggy and on some accounts even stopped downloading properly from play store (start dl and half way through just stop and hang) so I odined back to stock cuz for some reason twrp didnt show my copy of my backup. Strange. Long story short I'm trying to re edit my sound file,build and host as well as delete some bloat back to the way I had things, and like I stated my phone doesn't allow for these edits to go through and instead hangs and then reboots.
NOTE 12-10+2 ?

It sounds like something is not loaded right or missing. I have edited all 3 and no issues. When you say you removed bloat. What bloat? If you have any xposed or are trying to run art don't. Will create havoc.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
@BACARDILIMON bloat like flipboard,hangouts,tmo tv...stuff I don't use. Im on dalv not art and I have xposed installed, but haven't even gotten that far yet as far loading mods. I just tried a different file explorer and same outcome when I tried editing my host file smh.

Unfortunately the step I would do is delete xposed and clean flash Odin. Just freeze apps don't delete. And fresh install all apps even su and es fileexploer

Have you tried repairing permissions?
You could also mount your phone and edit the files by pulling them with adb and then pushing them back after editing. Reboot into recovery and repair.

I first tried repairing through tarp but nothing changed so just finished reflashing back to stock and starting from scratch,but thanks for the suggestion. I'm still kinda new to all this and honestly wouldn't have known how to debug properly anyhow.
