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??

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.

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 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 can't separate my feelings for moto products

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] Root for 2.2.1?

I just got my infuse yesterday, i tried using the rage against the cage root program(infuserootunlock), but even after installing kies and my drivers. it still says error: device not found. But, i can adb to the device.. So, after trying that a couple times(none being successful). I decided to use superoneclick, which has now frozen pushing su-v2... Im hoping it will work, but i dont see anything happening on the phone...
What can i do to root? Can i push an update.zip? Ive had a captivate and it was reletively easy to do.

When you root the Infuse you will not see anything happening on the phone screen itself.
If you cannot root and all else fails, here is a way you can over come the problem: You can put your phone into "download" mode and flash this froyo 2.2.1 odin flash rom from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251&highlight=unbrick
I know your phone is NOT bricked but if you read all the information in the link above you will see that if all else fails and you cannot root, just follow the step by step guide in the link using Odin3 (tar file rom flasher).
After you flashed the phone you can simply use the superoneclick to root it.
I have done this several times already. After you root it and install Rom Manager you will be able to install/flash custom roms the zip file method which all the devs here use for their custom roms.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

I had that same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. Tried bout everything I could think of even different usb port. It took alot of trial and error to be honest I dont even know what I did. Just that I finally got it to work. Both the one click and the unlook/root.

It took me 4 tries with super one click. I unplugged - remounted then unmounted SD card - switched USB ports and it finally took.

FAILED..................what can I do to root my G2X??

First you should search/read a bit.
Then if you are running 2.3.3, which i asume you are because its been said hundreds of times that oneclick does NOT work with 2.3.3 read and follow directions here....

I have 2.2 Froyo on my g2x. I've done a plenty of research actually.. I installed adb, LG drivers, put phone on debugging, etc. One Click just won't work.. Well, this is my first rooting experience.

If you have 2.2 then one click should work, try uninstalling the drivers and starting fresh.

Need help with samsung galaxy s ii skyrocket root!!

So, here's my story. I am trying to gain root access to my Galaxy S II Skyrocket. I see a lot of posts/replies of other people having success with SuperOneClick 2.2 using the zerg exploit but for some reason mine just hangs and doesn't go any further. To kind of backtrack, I was able to root my first Galaxy S II Skyrocket, but then I had charging issues so I exchanged it for a replacement. Now, the replacement will not root. And even with the first one I had a hard time gaining root. It took me several, several attempts to get it working. I don't understand what I'm missing. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Few things...
- Samsung Galaxy S II is currently on stock 2.3.5 with firmware UCKJ2
- USB debugging has been turned on
- Samsung USB drivers have been successfully installed on PC
- Using Windows XP
- Using SuperOneClick 2.2 with zerg exploit
- Tried uninstalling USB drivers and reinstalling
The status one the SuperOneClick is as follows...
Killing ADB server
Starting ADB server
Waiting for device...
That's it. Nothing else beyond that. And on the right hand side it indicates this...
It's keep stating that 'daemon not running... starting in now on port 5037' and it keeps looping and eventually does not move.
I've tried using different methods of rooting this such as Skyrocket-Easy-Root and Doom's EasyRoot 1.0 and the 'daemon not running... starting it now on port 5037' message occurs on those as well.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON because the regular Samsung Galaxy S II and other devices go through just fine. I know it can be done because obviously other users are successful with root and I was too with my first Skyrocket.

The only advice that "I" can give you is to post in the correct forum. You'll likely get a much quicker response than posting in the development section. I'm sure there's someone over there willing to help you. Good luck my friend.

Use this method ..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526
You use odin to flash cwm recovery tar......then flash the super user zip in cwm.....
The files needed and instructions are in that thread....read them carefully, and follow them exactly ....its really very easy

Try to do factory wipe again. I was having problem rooting after Odin. I did a factory wipe and www tried it and it worked.

Do THIS. I'm not sure why you were even trying all that other stuff, but this is the proper root and CWM installation method.

Are there any exploits for 2.3.6?

Hello!
I'm looking for a privilage escalation exploit for 2.3.6 with a 2.6.35.7 kernel.
What I've tried so far:
* psneuter (latest from git). Fails when run.
* zergRush (latest from git). Fails with error "[-] Hellions with BLUE flames !"
* GingerBreak (ver 1.2.0). I installed it with adb install. When I try to run it, it gives no error, but the wait screen never changes, even after 10 minutes of running.
I've heard that superoneclick can do this, but I'd rather not use a GUI if possible. I tried this anyway and mono does not like to play with it.
I've also tried to compile an exploit called half-nelson which does what I'm looking for, it's for linux kernel versions under 2.6.36.2. It does not like to work with NDK though, it fails to compile.
I was wondering if someone could maybe point me in the direction of a recent exploit that would work with said device? My device is a Samsung Galaxy Tab P1010 (Wifi-only). I upgraded it to android 2.3.6 and I've noticed it's much faster, fixes the sluggishness I saw before with it.
I'm sorry if this has been brought up before, but I just can't seem to find a way to get temp root for this device. I can think of a possible way of getting it rooted, to open up the system partition and add su and busybox to it then flash that. But I just want to know if there's an exploit that could make this work without that.
Any post is greatly appreciated, thanks! Also if I'm breaking any rules at all, let me know, and I apologise in advance if this is the case.
Thanks,
Dragos

As if now u need to downgrade your firmware. It may be possible to flash cwm first then flash a su.zip

yea, downgrade the firmware and use the exploits, it works =) i have root without flashing any ROM =)
