I am helping a buddy with his Infuse 4G, and his USB port is broken. He has a stock rom on it, but it's still rooted. He needs to replace it for a CLNR replacement phone but we gotta unroot first. How can this be done without ODIN? In the stock recovery it has a flash package option, can it be done that way? If so where can I find the file? The only problem is that SuperUser won't go away lol
Are u going thru att to get the phone replaced if so i sent mine back with root still on it with no problems so to speak but see this thread for further info and see if its something that will help u out at least deleting the system files. Just an idea
I figured it won't be too big of a deal as long as it looks stock with no special boot animations or something, I had a friend return a phone to T mobile that had root but nothing otherwise, stock recovery, etc. But my friend is quite worried because it can be an insane .
won't doing a factory reset from settings > privacy unroot it? it wipes your SD card, so this should be all that you have to do...

I dont think that unroots it...i think there is a master crazy dialer code that might. i was undery the impression that factory reset is just the same as wiping data

Tried both reset related ones, no luck. Sounds like he is just returning it and praying lol
i rooted and unlocked the phone. Just did a factory reset and returned it. Full refund no question ask at all.
I have not backed up anything on the phone. So what do I back up before installing the ROM. I would love to keep my apps.
Please give me details, Ive never done this before so I need it broken down in n00b terms.....Thanks!

Install titanium backup, its free. But when you go to restore what you backed up make sure you only restore the apps and nothing else.

yeah. Back up apps us system data but when restoring just restore the apps. If you restore system data it may cause problems with new rom.

I recommend also using the following two apps:
Call Logs Backup and Restore
SMS Backup and Restore
Both are by the same person - Ritesh Sahu I think?
I assume you have your contacts synced to your Google account - if not you probably should back up contacts somehow. Not sure - I've always just been synced to Google.

I think they are synced, I know the contacts are on the sd card too. I am such a n00b at this, I have never had a smartphone. So its all new to me. Ive had this one for just over a week, so I dont even know what my phone can do. I am pretty impressed so far.....its like having a small laptop in my hand.

It's all good man, I've been in your boat before.
I'd also make a nandroid backup (in recovery). It's not hard to install anything, but if you ever want to go back, it makes things easier.
OK, I installed Cheesecake after seeing all the signatures asking if I had "checked Cheesecake today?" I had been checking on a regular basis, finding nothing. I came to the realization that I would have no idea what to do with whatever I found anyways, so I decided to remove it. I was unable to find any definitive answers on the forum after several days, so I simply uninstalled it. When I check for updates I get a message saying that it is not available without a Motorola Service Account, then I get this:
Update Failed
In order to complete setup, you need a data connection.
You have the following choices:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Which is followed by 3 choices. It fails when either trying to use the current connection, or when trying to setup a wifi connection, even though I am already connected to the wifi. The third option is to just skip the setup. When I try to skip, it tries to sync my AT&T address book. It will not check for any actual updates. I know that this can happen with Cheesecake installed, but I have now removed it.
I know that there is an update for ICS coming to the Atrix 2, and I would like to be able to get it when the time comes, but until I can get this cleared up, I will not be able to get it. I already tried clearing the cache through Clockwork Mod, as well as doing a "Wipe data/factory reset" using Clockwork Mod. I am using the Stock Rom that came with the phone. What I would like to ask, is how to completely remove this, and return it to normal? As you can probably tell, I am still a noob to this, so if I left any information out that would help, please ask.

No problem. You should be okay just to remove the Cheesecake .apk from your phone and reboot. I think that'll take care of deleting everything, and revert back to the 'normal' OTA server service built-in to the phone. Can anyone else confirm?

Had the same problem once, and i had to reinstall cheesecake, switch to production and then uninstall cheesecake to get it working.

Not quite, it actually edits a defaults.xml somewhere in .... wait. I'll find it and edit this post.. you would need to change that to match stock (I think I posted the exact file and edits somewhere on here), or you might get by by changing to the Production server in cheesecake one last time, then uninstalling.. edit#1: yes, what Fall of said..
Edit#2: it's the defaults.xml in /system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.service.blur folder...

Thanks for the help. I reinstalled cheesecake, and set it back to the production server, now it is working normally again.

Hey guys,
First off, I am an admitted noob. From what I can tell, updating to 2.20/4.04 will un-root your device so I'm looking for a way to disable the update notification. Is there a way to get it to stop bugging me until 2.20 is rooted?
Also, how do upgrades generally work when you're rooted and want to maintain root?
Thanks!
Hey mine was bugging me and I just cleared the data for updater and it hasn't bugged me for the last two days.
Settings > Apps > All > Updater
Then clear everything you can (cache,data)
Good luck

Thanks! So how does updating work? Do I wait for 2.20 to be rooted, update, and re-root? Or install a pre-rooted image of some sort?

If you are rooted, you can flash the update rom here;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812459 . it keeps root and unlock..

I am rooted -- do I need to unlock my bootloader too to flash a rom? I haven't done that yet because my understanding is that it wipes all the user data from your phone...

To flash a rom you need to unlock the bootloader which will wipe all user data not your sd card just data.
Sent from my Nocturnalized Beast
Normally with OTAs, after the OTA is downloaded, you will have the option to install or not. Just cancel, then delete the file from the SD card. Somebody will have to verify this is the case (haven't gotten the notification, personally), but that is normally how HTC does it. You have to be really careful not to hit the wrong option. But once you've cancelled the install, you won't get any more notifications for this particular OTA.
Really, the "settings" method suggested by footbal9584 seems much safer (as a wrong button press will actually install the OTA for my way). But if his method doesn't work, you might try mine.
Also, all the info you will probably ever need about unlocking the bootloader, flashing ROMs, etc. can be found in my Index thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
There you will find a method for keeping your user data while doing the bootloader unlock. But honestly, I'd recommend not going through the hassle. If you intend to flash custom ROMs, you should wipe data anyway.

Is there a good way to backup/restore? I've seen both NANDroid and Titanium Backup Pro recommended on here. Which one is best for backing up all my apps, settings, etc. so I don't have to redo all that after I unlock?
EDIT: Whoops -- didn't see post above. The method there uses dd to do a block-level backup -- does one of the above methods work, or not so much?

Nandroid is a full backup of the ROM, all user data, apps, and settings. If you are flashing custom ROMs, that is not what you want for restoring user data, etc. But its a good idea to do a nandroid backup of the stock ROM, in case you want to go back.
Titanium Backup is great for backing up user apps, and some settings. Some people use it to restore various settings, but this can be problematic, as all ROMs don't treat this data the same. Personally, I just use Titanium to backup and restore my apps and app save data, and sometimes WiFi and Bluetooth pairings. But I configure everything else manually. Usually takes me about 20 minutes to do it all when moving between ROMs.

Anyone know how effective this is? I postponed the update again today because I want to keep root like any sensible xda member, but it told me I cannot postpone any longer after this and it will just have to option to install now. I don't have my computer right now (at HP repair center) so unlocking bootloader isn't an option right now

Did not work for me -- I started getting chain notifications, hella annoying.
NOTE: even when the only available button is 'Install', the back button on your phone still works.
If I freeze the updater, will it break my phone?
I do not know I highly doubt it would but no guarantees. I cleared my data before it downloaded anything it just started the "there is an update you cannot use tour phone during install do you want to install now" I postponed it 8 hours a few times, but then just cleared the data and still haven't gotten any notifications.
Maybe see of what the other user said is correct maybe the update was downloaded to your phone and you need to remove the file before it will leave you alone.

At least on other devices, if you let the OTA download, then cancel it, it should stop the notifications. Can you confirm or deny this?
You can then just find the file on the internal SD and delete it. At least that is how it worked on the HTC Flyer.
If you can confirm, this would probably be a handy method for others. At least one other person is asking how to cancel the install (and other that want to stop the notifications, I'm sure): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29903041
Update: nevermind I restarted my phone today and ad soon as it booted up I got the is your last time to postpone message so I cleared updater again but now every time I unlock my phone I'm prompted to update and just have to push the back button. Sorry I'll keep looking into it.

Thanks for this info. I went one step beyond that and backed up and uninstalled the updater and updater setup within Titanium Backup. Will report back if anything gets messed up.
Hi guys,
I need to give my HTC One to official service, and there is a possibility that they will give me a new one.
If I do screen lock with pattern, can they somehow access my data and files on the phone??
In case they don't change it for new one, I won't have too much stuff to restore and install, but if they do change it for new one, will they be able to lookaround on the phone?
Thnx.

I dont know if they could get your data.
But just do a clockworkmod backup and then copy that to a computer.
Then data wipe your phone(Same as factory reset).
And if you get a new device then restore that backup to the new device.
Just make sure that you wipe the phone you turn into them. (Recovery and all to stock)
