[Q] Rooting original Droid 1

Hi,
First let me apologize if this question has been answered previously. I did try searching all forums for the solution, but the search methods make it very difficult to narrow down the search results.
I"m also having trouble posting. I get the message "To prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages", so I'm editing this message to see if I can find the "outside link" (there is none that I can see.)
I have an original Motorola Droid 1 - purchased the first month that Verizon had them 2 Decembers ago.
I am trying to root my phone. Here are the stats from the "About Phone" screen
Android version: 2.2.2
Build number: FRG83G
I have tried Z4MOD 1.3 and Super One click 2.1 (not 2.1.1) (had to put spaces in because message parser though it was an outside link?)
For both, the symptom is the same. Root appears to work, Superuser application shows up, but phone is not rooted. Apps requiring root access fail, and I've read that the simplest way to absolutely confirm root is to go into Terminal Emulator and see if there's a # prompt instead of a $ prompt. My Term Emulator screen has a $ and when I type S U (with no spaces) , it comes back with "permission denied".
I'm a software consultant (but not a Linux guy) so I understand the steps and concepts involved.
I've also tried once or twice in the past to do a couple of the "step-by-step" methods Same result.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm not against resetting my phone completely if that's what it will take.
The Super one click install log is attached - seems to indicate that everything is OK.
Thanks in advance
Ron

Found the info that caused the "outside link" error message, thought it might be informative, so I'm including that info in the text file attached to this message.

Send sms using pc via adb (linux - android)

Hello XDA!!!this is my first post...
I wanted to be able to send sms messages using my pc but i couldnt find anything useful....
So, after doing some research i managed to create and modify some scripts and got the results i wanted...
The scripts run on linux and have been tested on Arch Linux and Ubuntu...
There are 2 main scripts:
One for reading the phone's messages..
And one for sending messages...
The second script also reads a file called "contacts" and displays its content...
The "contacts" file does not use the phones contacts...the user can open it using a text editor and write his own contacts...
There is also another file called "adb_location" which the user must open with a text editor and paste location of adb...
#######Requirements#########
* Rooted android phone with sqlite3 installed(I believe most custom roms have sqlite3 installed)(My phone is rooted nexus S with CM9)
* Linux pc (tested: Arch Linux and Android)
* ADB installed and working properly
#######After Download#########
* Extract sms.zip wherever you want
* Connect your rooted phone to pc in debugging mode (so it can interact with ADB)
* Open the extracted folder
* Open the file: "adb_location" using a text editor and replace the line: "/opt/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb" with your own adb location
* Open the file: "contacts" and replace the examples with the contacts that you will be using
* Open in terminal the file: "reader-refresh.sh" to read the messages from your phone
* Open in terminal the file: "launch-contacts.sh" to view your contacts and send messages
Here is a demonstration video...not vary instructive but i thing it will help:
XDA wont let me post an outside link...so if you want to see the video search on youtube : "Send sms using pc via adb (linux - android)"
note: If you don't know how to root your phone, flash custom roms or install adb on your linux system, there are plenty of tutorials available on the web

WWWOOOUUUAAAHHHH.
Thanks 1000 times. I have been trying with Qtadb (qtadb installed on both sides). It is supposed to send sms but never could make it ork (client not responding)
I just found your script, and as an Arch user, noting to do than run it!! And working.
Very good script mate.
TY again, as I spend all day long on my box, and typing SMS on my SGS2 small keyboard is a pane in the ass.

I think I will use this and adapt it to a web page my sister can use in Abu Dhabi to text anyone in the US for free through my phone.
Thank you so much for the research you have done. KUDOS!

ICS/Jellybean

[Tutorial] Use same Whatsapp number (account) on Two devices .

Update 12/Nov
Video Tutorial ...
English qnd germqn in CC
https://youtu.be/krZXnsIU2zw
===============
Requirements :
Brain
Whatsapp with verifed number
Xposed frame work
Rooted phone
Titanium backup
Donkey guard
Lets Start ​
The Idea of this trick is to fake the Imei number of second mobile which will make Whatsapp think that it's the first mobile and keep receiving messages without ask to re-verify .
step 1 :
In first mobile . Dial
Code:
*#06#
, You'll find the Imei number (15 digits) , just write it on piece of paper .
step 2 :
Open Titanium backup , Grant Root permission and backup data of Whatsapp , you'll find three files in dir
/sdcard/Titaniumbackup
copy them to your desktop
step 3 :
Install Whatsapp, Titanium backup.
Install Xposed frame work , and thin install Donkey guard module .
You can find out how here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-donkeyguard-security-management-t2831556
step 4 :
Open Donkey guard, find whatsapp, and select settings , Identity , thin click on pen icon next to Device ID
Popup will show up , write the IMEI you get from step 1 , and press save , then click on floppy icon in upper corner to save the rules , then close donkyguard.
step 5 :
copy the files you get from step 2 to /sdcard/Titanium backup
Then open Titanium and perform a restore .
That's it , easy right ?
Now you can use chat with your friend from two devices without use another number .
For me I'm using YouWave from Laptop and mobile

Donley guard : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-donkeyguard-security-management-t2831556
**Note**
1) It's impossible to recive messages on two devices on same time , The device which is connected to Internet will recieve the messages , If both were conncted, The last devices you send message from will be the receiver .
If you find this Useful , please press like , It mean a lot to me .
Sorry for my bad English

does it ask for re registration on the second device having the same number? or after backup, whatsapp will just open up and work as before??

You got t he Notification and the message once .
I mean when you got a notification on the first Device , the second device will not get the message and will not got notification .

I couldn't make it work. Titanium backup doesn't seem to work on my pricipal device. Always got a storage problem error.
Is there any workaround for the TB step? Tryed to copy the system folder and the media folder but with no luck.
Also i'm using lollipop in one side and the JB on the other. This should cause any problem?
Thanks a lot!!!

I got the same problem here. I've tried to change the backup location so many times and still isn't working.. I'm running KK 4.4.2

Use WhatsApp with the same number on Bluestacks (with English subtitles).

If I have a backup of conversation, but only this, and I want to use this method to get the key file, there a possibility of this be done? Or can I read old backups in the new phone without problems?
If you don't understand, I'm sorry, English is not my primary language.

[Completed] Decrypting Whatsapp DB (crypt8)

Hello guys,
this is my first post on this forum (sorry for my poor English, I'll try to write my best), and I'd really like to ask you some advice about my situation.
I used to have an Android 2.3.3 device and Whatsapp installed on it, regularly updated (I still have it, but I'm not using it).
Almost a month ago I bought a new device, with Android 4.4.4 installed, and I immediately put WhatsApp on it.
Before removing SD from the old phone, i saved my backup file OLD.db.crypt8, in order to let the "new" whatsapp restore my messages. Unfortunately, a month passed before i could be able to think about restoring my old messages.
Thus, i have accumulated (?) a month of messages, and i "backup-ed" them in a MIDDLE.db.crypt8 file.
I already managed to decrypt the "middle" db.crypt8 file (extracting the key file from my android 4.4.4), but don't know how to decrypt the OLD.db.crypt8 file.
OLD, in fact, comes from Android 2.3.3, as said, and i got no key file
My final goal is, after decrypting all three databases (OLD, MIDDLE and "NEW" - provided that NEW is the database i'm "growing up" on my phone at the moment), merging the three databases in an only database (and this is possible with the XDA guide i already have read)
Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much :laugh:
