Motorola Spice(XT300) and rom manager

so i finally got my motorola spice rooted and installed rom manager but i could not find the recovery image for my phone. I read that there currently isn't a recovery image for the phone, but i wanted to post here to make sure if its out or not.

There isn't currently a recovery image for the phone. I am looking howto create one for this phone however I am in need of a recovery.img for the phone. Would you be able to backup your recovery partition and post it online for me??
Together as a community we can create anything.

ROM DUMP - android.podtwo.com/romdump/romdump_v72.zip
Is the link howto create a rom dump of a phone. I need that since I already broke my recovery partition. If you can follow that guide and post it on mediafire or somewhere I would be greatly appreciated!!
BTW Terminal mode is the easiest and can be performed with terminal emulator from market on a rooted phone. If you need to root use z4root works well with the XT300..
If you need any help message me or @linuzo on twitter..
Cheers.

I found this rom dump of my phone on the internet.

Hey, buddies.
I have this phone too and I'd really like to know if is it possible to wait for a ROM of the 2.3 Android?
Thanks!

yeah, this is a legit spice rom, I was extracted by some guy owning one at mobilicity forums
about the custom rom... maybe we might get something but the phone is available only in 2 countries that I know for now... though the released was supposed to be global
Btw, as a member of the brazilian spice community, the news I got for the phone is that APP2SD is already available for our phones on the stock rom(eclair) using simple terminal commands and scripts, and live wallpapers too
I might post it translated here someway... when I get time for it

Which countries this phone was released?

Canada (Mobilicity) and Brazil (Motorola Retail and TIM/Claro/VIVO).

In Canada is there any chance to this phone get froyo?

hi there! i got my spice xt300 last week and i was wondering if i can install another OS on it or desinstall some apps (accuweather, facebook, flashback, gmail, googletalk, latitude, weeworld, youtube, tim busca, tim etc) because i dont need them... is that possible? i had an htc p3301 and that was possible, but it was a windows mobile device... thanks!

Hi Guys!
I've also buyed this phone 2 days ago and i am in the same situation. Also is NOT possible to root it with z4root and other tools with the exception of SuperOneClick 1.7 (yes, that version... latest won't work).
Btw, I am from Argentina, so was released here also without a company.
I am just waiting or reading if possible to use ClockWorkMod with this mobile but seems not yet.
Cheers!

I used z4root with success in my Spice.

Hey all, new to this forum. Have done a bunch of reading about Android and the SPICE since I got this phone from Mobilicity a week ago. Successfully rooted the phone using SOC LAST week. Just wondering, any progress on custom ROMs? I'm interested in hacking the thing to try to get Froyo running.

Hi guys,
I just got a Motorola SPICE XT300, but it's the version from China and it does not have Android Market on it.
This might be a really dumb newbie question (sorry!), but how do I install an English-US (or Canada) version of Android WITH Android Market onto it?
So far, I've followed the instructions on z4root and have successfully rooted the phone. I'm just not sure what to do next.
Thanks!

Motorola Fire XT316
Anyone knows about the Fire XT316? It seems to be very similar to the Spice XT300 and will have either Android 2.2 or 2.3. I hope Motorola will offer to upgrade our Spice to 2.3

I too am trying to root my SPICE that I got from a WagJag deal with Mobilicity. I've tried z4root, and it fails after a few seconds or running.
Just tried SingleOneClick, it failed as well, here the output from the screen. Can anyone offer a suggestion to make this work?

I rooted mine yesterday using superoneclick 1.7 (not 1.9.5) and selected the rageagainstthecage exploit (not psneuter). I installed some motorola usb drivers first and also had to unquarantine something from the AV software on the machine. When SOC sat at "waiting for device" I toggled the phone's USB debugging option off then on again.

yeah only the 1.7 version of super one click works for the motorola spce. kinda weird

I confirm rooting with SuperOneClick 1.7 using psneuter. I was getting the same output as ricky_613 for a while but I kept pressing "Root" until it eventually got through and rooted.
I need some HELP too, I need a Canadian ROM, most importantly a radio.img file. Can anyone point to one or make one with fastboot off a working phone?
Even better if someone has a Canadian SBF file.
Many thanks!

[Q] Lg p500 2.3.3 rooting (plz help)

I tried each and every method to root my phone using gingerbreak z4root superoneclick 2.1 using normal and pneuter mode but nothing helps me
But on rooting with superuser its giving finshed and placed a icon of superuser application in my phone menu but none of the application is asking for superuser permission and some application giving error force close user..........
PLZZZZZZZZZZZZ helpp.......

when you open z4root, what does it say? does it say temp/perm. root or reroot/unroot?

when i open z4root it says temp/perm root and when i click any one of them than doesnt happen anything the process goes on and on

i just realized you have gingerbread. now that brings you down to two options:
1. try using gingerbreak again (i believe this is the only rooting method for gingerbread but i may be wrong. if that doesnt work then try...
2. downgrading back to froyo:

heres a list of the stock firmware:

Help Rooting An XT860 too...?
Hi, new to the site. Really liked the video I had to watch before signing up, it put a smile on my face.
So I'm trying to root my bone stock Canadian Bell Motorola XT860 and have been searching the web high and low. I've tried Petes One Click with no results and can been seen in the pics below. I see that others have been able to root this phone but I haven't found where anyone has done it recently and I'm wondering if the recent updates have made it unrootable. If anyone can help me get this thing rooted it would be greatly appreciated! Here is what I'm running into...
I'm trying to do it on my Win7 Starter net book...
Let me know if you need anymore info....
Thanks!
Edit: I tried to post screen shots but I'm to new to do that here is the error messge I'm getting....
SEARCHING FOR THE PHONE (connect it now if you haven't yet)... found!
Running exploit step 1 of 3 (setting up symlink)... done!
Rebooting your phone... done!
Running exploit step 2 of 3 (modifying local.prop)... done!
Rebooting your phone... done!
Running exploit step 3 of 3 (adding su, busybox, and superuser.apk)... FAIL!
ERROR: adb could not be granted root access via local.prop method
Try again from the start, but if the problem continues, check your version
of Gingerbread -- hopefully you don't have a version where this exploit
was fixed.

OK I'm not sure if the op will see this or not but thanks to another member pointing me to this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
I now have my XT860 rooted! One freaking click!
Hope this helps others.

[Q] what am I doing wrong?

Yes, I know there are multiple xda forum posts and external sites about rooting the Evo Shift (speedy). I have tried to root my Speedy 2.3.3 using every site and post I could find. TO much of my dismay I am only able to acquire temp root. I cannot preform the downgrade or a perm root. What am I missing? I tried RUU (both types) and no luck. I have tried both batch attempts and still nothing. Both Z4 and Visionary apps acquire me a temp root but when I go to downgrade it doesn't flash to S-off status.
Please let me know if there is other options. If you tell me a link and I have ried it I will reply "already tried." I am getting ready to throw my phone and computer through a window with this.

You need to downgrade to 2.2 first theres a post about it in general forum.

Enraged21 is correct if you are on 2.3.3 you must first downgrade to 2.2 . Try THIS THREAD it will guide you through the process, step by step. From temp Root, to downgrade, to Full Root, and Flashing.

Okay, obviously there is a lack of communication in me saying I have tried every almost every post in this forum and I cannot achieve a downgrade please re-read my original post carefully. I have done the following steps.
1.) Backed up phone
2.) Factory Reset Phone through boot-loader
3.) search for a forum post in regards to rooting my HTC Speedy
4.) Follow forum post for Temp rooting (achieved)
5.) Follow Forum post for downgrade (Failed)
6.) Return to Step 2. and start with another post.
Please don't take my tone for more than a lack of patience when I have to repeat myself. Please understand this is frustrating that a simple coding is glitching out and causing me grief.

If your on 2.3.3 you shouldn't be using Z4 or Visionary to acquire temp root. Your going to have to follow this guide to temp root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185243 or even easier use Indirects's script http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277793
If I'm misreading your post and you've already tried these I apologize. Once you have temp root from one of the previously mentioned methods, push the misc.img (not necessary if you use the script) then run the RUU.
I've never had much luck with the RUU exe, I prefer the PG06IMG.zip method. Common issues when using the zip is getting bootloader to recognize the zip file. If it isn't recognized you can try a different sd card or formatting your card to fat32.

TY Crump84 the formatting option was not talked about in the attempts I tried. The Fre3vo option (1st link) is a rewritten version of the one from prboy1969. I have success with Indirect's script. I will try to format and install the PG06IMG.zip You didn't miss read what I was saying because you picked how far I was into the process. Time to plug away and attempt the process yet again. I will post if it works.

Just make sure you backup your card before formatting, it will erase everything.

Gotta tell you, after avoiding the Heimdall for a year, I used it 2 days ago and it is the easiest, best thing there is.
If you're on Samsung proprietary BML GB, just flash AntonX kernel, otherwise you need the 'back to stock' package before.

but i thought i couldnt flash until after it is rooted. and jsut wanting root access to get rid of certain things to try and get it a bit faster. my droid world fone was faster than this thing, but dont think it had all extra stuff. and do i have to have .net for rooting as well?

You have to flash clockwork mod recovery. This phone has the recovery in the kernel. This stuff is a little over my head but basically first flash a custom kernel with custom recovery then you have root and then you can flash the crap out of your phone. Also if you're still on froyo then first you should flash the whole kj6 stock rom with bootloaders to avoid potential rainbow disaster.
