[Q] Tried to flash my first rom..

Well I got a stock 1009 built captivate that's running the official froyo. I decided to attempt to flash my first rom.
I used superoneclick to root and installed titanium backup and backed up my apps and data. That worked fine.
Then I used odin3 one click and restored to jh6? I think. And that worked fine.
Then when I went to use the One Click root. Where you have to copy the root file onto your internal sd and rename it update.zip then run the .exe file. I got some error in the green cmb prompt that I couldn't read quick enough and the phone rebooted into recovery and when I went to reinstall packages it told me that update.zip didn't exist? Rebooted normally and it was still there in the internal sd.
Is there something that im doing wrong or another way past this? For the hell of it i left the update.zip, rooted using superoneclick and installed rom manger and all of that worked fine in till it rebooted to recovery again.
basically I cant root with one click, but superoneclick works fine..
Edit: Noticed I put this in the wrong forum. Can a mod please move to q&a?

using regular one click is easy enable debugging and dont mount the sdcard clcik root and cmd window pops up starts daemon copies file and reboots phone select reinstall packages and should be good. If not delete the update.zip and start over remember dont mount the sdcard so it is accessible from the computer.

place in /mnt/sdcard/
this location is the root location of "my files" known as root of SD card
not to be confused with the phone's root directory that you need root explorer for.

It's placed in the right area. When I move the file, rename it, then ummount the phone and run one-click. It reboots into recovery fine and when I reinstall packages it gives me error about a signature?

try SUPERONECLICK instead. the old one click root doesnt work any more
i wish people would just provide proper information on here instead of making others run around in circles
SUPERONECLICK using the RAGE method works fine....

when you run the app, you will notice 2 radio buttons on the right hand side.
click on RAGE
make sure your phone is in USB Debugging mode and that you have all your drivers installed.

Alright thanks alot. Im still doing a little research on the rage method. Basically I just root and have that option ticked? Then I should be good to go?

[SCRIPT][updated5/4]Webtop via HDMI compatible for VERSION 4.1.83(W/Chinese Font Fix)

Firstly,pls notice this script is only for the phone which have got root.
Before below steps,pls make sure your usb mode is not as mass storage.you need choose none or first item when you plug your usb cable in.
Thx for all the XDA guys hard work and especially DG ,Shawnbuck,Fenny and anyone else that contribute a lot for XDA and us.
2011/7/4 Update for restoring script of stock Webtopmod 4.1.83
2011/5/4 updating:
Adding the restore script for restoring to stock version of V4.1.57 webtop files in order to update to 4.1.83.
After succeed updating and got root access,you can run webtopmod V8 again to get the webtop cracked.
pls notice in order to backup the stock webtop version ,you need answer "N" when prompt "Have your cracked ago with old mod files?" for your first run script after updating.
Then your stock webtop file will be backed up in /sdcard/webtopmodbackup(thx for terrypchan's uploading files)
Background:
I found some guys complained lose webtop mod after root for 4.1.57(now 4.1.83).
Actually, what we need is just to replace some files that we use for stock version.
But the original script will not work for 4.1.57.
In order to make some new guys crack webtopmod easily , i update the script to make it useful again.
I also add Chinese font support on webtop.Now you can visit Chinese webside at webtop.The Chinese will displayed correctly.(If some errors happend regarding font fix,it doesn't matter of your crack.Maybe it's because your system is English version)
I don't need your bears for it.Just press "thank" butten or leave a feedback,which is enough for me.
V8 will be stable version for you and could not be updated so far.
Steps:
1. download the file
2. extract and press install.bat as usual
3. run script in rooted Atrix before you do any action regarding deodex or theme changing
3. look at the screen and answer the question accordingly(If it's your first time to run the script in this system version---noticed i mean version not the phone,you need put "N" when prompting "Have your cracked ago with old mod files?" to backup your stock files
4. after reboot,you webtop back again.
[option]5. If you want to deodex or any theme changing,then do it.
[option]6. Run the script V8 again after you do deodex or theme changing,this time you don't need input "N" when prompting "Have your cracked ago with old mod files?"
Remark:
1. webtopmodbackup.zip is the script that return webtopmod files to stock 4.1.26 version for updating to 4.1.57
2. restorewebtopmodv4.157 is the script that return webtopmod files to stock 4.1.57 version for updating to 4.1.83
3.webtopmod1.1updatedV8 can be run under any rooted Atrix to active the webtop mod
4. You'd better to run V8 to get webtop before you do deodex or any theme modification like gingleblue which will replace your webtop files with deodex and V8 cannot backup your stock files automatically
Version Introduction:
1.V8 (instead of V7)is fixed for Bell version.--updated on 4/18--I missed one sentence in scripts of V7.Thanks for Becart's correction.All the users(at&t and bell version) can use this version for webtopmod
1.V6 is compatible with the updated 4.1.57 mod files done by Fenny.You can updated from your old mod files or use it to crack your webtopmod directly.
Updated History below:
4/23 Now adding script of going back stock mod files(4.1.26.Pls notice it's different from 4.1.57 files and cannot use for updating to 1.8.3).Any one can download WebtopModBackup.zip and run uninstall.bat to make the files go back to stock version.You need notice i didn't test it but you can try and if any error,let me know.
(Update V8):
Fix script for Bell version.Thanks Becart's correction.
(Update V6):
Now reinclude the Fenny's file and update a little script.It works with Fenny's updated 4.1.57 Mod files now.Thx for his job and updated.You can find details throughthis link .
(Update V5):
Sorry .Made a mistake,i didn't notice Fenny's file format,it cannot be used for this script directly.V5 went off line. Sorry for the inconvinience.You can find V6 above.It should be workable.
V5 Version is compatible with the updated 4.1.57 mod files done by Fenny. Thx for Fenny's quick updated for 4.1.57 mod files.
Thx for Fenny's mod files again.
Then follow above steps to update.
Pls notice you need answer if you have crack the mod files ago in order to keep you stock files in SDCARD otherwise it will be overwritten when you run the V5 script.
(Update V4):
Now it can be used for any version of atrix including Bell.
(Update V3):
Donot need input command by manually any more.But you need keep phone screen on and allow SU when the script run.
(update V2) :
Filename of webtopmod.sh changed from WebtopMod.sh to webtopmod.sh since many person ignor the capitalization.
pls notice the last command need use filename exact same as webtopmod.sh now.all the letter is lowercase
Backup:
You can find the link for root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013931
The 3 crack files are from Fenny's thread. you can find it through below link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980193

use the old file.the OTA doesn't show any clue about webtop.apk updated.

update some script.
1.could help out about the adb missing...if you meet this issue,you could force close adb.exe through task manager of windows.
2.change webtopmod.sh filename from WebtopMod.sh to webtopmod.sh. Now you can ignor the capslock letter

sorry still not working i even put it in the C: with run as administrator

Ran the script last night and tested it. Works great.
Thanks!

Unroot?

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.
http://www.psouza4.com/Droid3/PetesMotorolaRootTools_v1.03.zip
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.

You should put this on every forum that you can. I will aslo tell people about it. You did a good thing for the people on this one. I think a lot of new people will whant to root now that they have a way to undo it.

Lol well like 8th try and I got it to work. Sorry for pestering you so much.

OTA Update Issue

My Droid 3 is rooted and I received the OTA notification. It downloads fine, reboots the phone, and begins to update. About 1/3 the way to update, the Android turns into an Exclamation point and reboots. Once back to home screen I get an Update Failed error.
Here is what I did so far:
-Defrosted all apps then rebooted
-Restored all system apps with Pete's One Click Root
-Pulled Battery for 5 min
-Factory Reset Phone
After each of these steps I tried to install the update and same thing. Will not get past 1/3. Any suggestions?

u need to rsd the swu.zip in order to get the update

OK, where can I get the swu.zip?

lacesout, had the same experience. Used one-click method to root, then used psouza4's bloat script to remove, then restore apps when the update became available. These were my only mods. Went to /system/app and all app's are back with the proper apk extension. Update downloads fine, then hangs at 1/4 to 1/3 of install. Anyone else with similar experience or thoughts as to what's hanging the OTA install?

If you used the script to re-bloat the system, use root explorer and double check all the ".bak"s were removed. I don't remember which one, but I remember there was a file or two the script skipped over.
Also, if you did a nandroid before debloating, you can restore it, then go get the update. (The second option is what worked for me).

Thanks for the reply and the tip on root explorer, it's an elegant tool, more intuitive to use than the freeware apps.
All the file extensions in /system/app are either .apk or .odex with the exception of Fota.apk.bak, and Fota.odex.bak. As the first time I heard of nandroid was your post, I unfortunately didn't use it, so I don't know if these were the extensions before I used psouza's bloat removal script. Fota was not on the list of scripts to remove/rename in his original post.
As Fota is the "firmware over the air" app, it is suspicious that it's the only one with a .bak ext. I am using root explorer to rename both, removing the .bak, and then will attempt another update.
Success! "Your phone has been upgraded to 5.6.890.en US version". Have lost root, at least for the moment. Will deal with that tomorrow. Last thing to do before going to bed is find the "Thanks" button. Thanks for setting me on the right path. P.

Unable to root after OTA to .890
One click root not longer works. After clicking "run_to_root_your_droid3.sh" on PC (Ubuntu 10.04) I get no prompts on screen, but phone does reboot twice. No su privileges after boot. Busybox is installed in /system/xbin and there is nothing I can do about it as I can't mount r/w. Using Root Explorer and Script Manager as tools.
I realize I'm going to have to increase my learning curve here. Would appreciate any links to relative threads on this topic, or suggestions on what to try next (I have searched, but need some direction).

export magisk module list

Exist an easy way to export magisk module list? Export and import?

Clarifications needed... Which list are you talking about? The entire Magisk repo or just the ones you've installed (I'm gonna guess the latter)? And for what purpose?

only the one i have installed. full list for backup / reinstall purpose. installed and not active. xposed ha a function to export /import list. I like it.

If you just need a backup, make a backup of the Magisk image (/data/adb/magisk.img). That's where all modules are kept (for now, this might change in a future version of Magisk).

Zip files are not saved. It gets extracted in to the location as mentioned in this thread. But each time you flash a module the zip file is downloaded in to Download folder of your internal storage. Save it for future use.

Now /data/adb/magisk.img is no more used... What folder must I backup?

I actually havent tried it since the change from the img method
I can tell you i do backup and restore the magisk.db file....i have a Galaxy Active2 Watch, and if it even sniffs root i have to reset the watch and start over to get Samsung Pay working. So i flash the ROM/GApps, then Magisk, reboot and setup the ROM and Magisk, set my Android ID back to the previous one (to avoid having to reset the Watch, and have it connectable in Gear app) then copy the magisk.db to /data/adb, then reboot. Then enable MagiskHide, and hide Magisk Manager. When i restore my apps the Samsung ones are already in the MagiskHide list and Samsung Pay works as before, once i reconnect the watch.
Next time i flash ill try copying back the /data/adb/modules and let you know

rodken​
Just a quick update
I was about to flash a new ROM for testing, and thought about doing the test...copy the modules folder from /data/adb, and restore on new ROM and then realised that not all modules im using are going to like that, as some set symbolic links during install and some now use filesystem overlays as well (thinking busybox and Vanced Youtube)
Ive just decided rather than copying im going to stick with what works 100%, and install them by hand one by one
