Hi All, First, let me say wow! This place is great. If it weren't for a space and forum like this a girl like me would totally be at the mercy of Verizon... A big up front Thanks!!
Ok, that being said, here's my problem. I rooted my D1 (Android 2.2.1 build FRG83G) using Soup or Root (tried z4root several times without success). Soup or Root worked great! I have access to root level and have super user permissions. I installed Busy Box and Barnacle (two more great pieces!) and have been enjoying my unlimited wifi thereing with all my wifi toys on the road. Life is good!!
But now, my phone keeps bugging me to install a system update of FRG83G - even though I still show that's the build I am running... I turned off 'Auto sync' and 'Background data' hoping this would stop the assault but no luck. I also searched everywhere on my device (using Astro File Manager) for the update file hoping to delete it but could not find it. I searched all directories for a file of the size indicated in the assult message. I even tried searching for all '.apk' files hoping I could find it and delete it that way... Nope.
How can I stop the assault and delete this update assault file message thing... Help!
Thanks in adavnce...

Alright im new here to xda forums. Forgive me if I posted this in the wrong section.I just got a free a new ascend for metro pcs. I'm happy cause I want to root and take advantage of custom Roms without risking my good mt4g and now I have a pretty Much worthless phone I van abuse >. Here's my problem now. My phone is running 2.2.2 and I've downloaded z4root 1.30 like all the threads say I should do. I have debugging on and all that stuff set to the right settings. Now whenever I try to root, after about 40 seconds the app returns me to my homescreen unrooted and when I try to access it again it says app isn't spawning and it force closes. Then I can't access the app again unless I reboot. When I tap the app icon nothing happens.
Ok I've rebooted my phone countless times and nothing changes. I've tried installing the app and no luck either. (But sometimes instead of going back to homescreen it stays at "running exploit" and beverages changes) I've also tried visionary and that does work either.... I've done factory resets and it doesn't make a difference. Temp root and permanent root both dont work. Someone help please and thnx for trying in advanced.

bump bump bump bump
lol i got you
i ran into the same frustrating issue. z4 should work but instead it reboots with no effect or loops the su exploit till you reset. two days,100 threads (all pointing to z4) and about 1000 thread pages i finally found the issue and the solution idk why (z4 must be outdated or something but it does NOT work for the ascend M860 running 2.2 froyo) what you need is gingerbreak-v1.20.apk i installed on my ascend and within 10 minutes or so viola it was rooted. note the phone i used was from metro pcs NOT cricket. if your with cricket i have no idea weather or not this will work. but it definitely works on the metro ascend. hope i helped clear up this extreemly frustrating issue.
Lol its funny i just now realised what the issue was. Every thread i saw said z4 for 2.2 os but all the posts were from about 6 months prior to the actual date z.4 is the early and unofficial update to 2.2 froyo jus like gingerbreak goes from 2.2 froyo to 2.3 gingerbread as the phone is discontinued, this is THE unoficial and only update for the M860

Hi All,
Newbe with a Asus TF101 and I have to say it's been an adventure !
Originally I found a posting how to root my tablet and it worked great until an update notice appeared and locked up my system. After much panic stricken hunting around I found this site and was able to update the tablet to ICS 4.0.3 which is even better then before and runs great.
Now another update notice is appearing again......
[Q] How can I check that this update is ok to use or since I've installed a custom ROM I won't be able to use any of these updates from Asus ?
thanks,
Don't update if you have CWM or custom roms installed( root is fine in most cases). If you do want to update, return your tf to stock first.
Thanks for the reply.....
I was thinking that given my last update experience. Is there a way to turn off the update notices so I don't accidentally update ?
Stop DM Client running in the settings menu. That'll stop your notifications, at least until you reboot and then you'll have to stop it again. You might be able to freeze it using Titanium but I haven't tried it so I can't confirm it won't cause any problems.

Just updated my BusyBox (with pro installer) and it broke everything. lost root access on my rom, 90% of my apps were broken, wifi was gone. Not the only one either... reviews in appstore have tons of people with same issue.
Dunno if this has been posted elsewhere, but just in case, thought i'd get it out there cause i didn't see it.
Current BusyBox update KILLED my Evo. Nand before you update it...
I updated last night and have had no problems? Is it specific devices i wonder?
I've not had any problems with 1.20.1 on my Samsung Galaxy Y (using Stericson's BusyBox app), though the install of it was very slow. It said I had 250Mb of system space left though, when I only had 25.0Mb remaining...
Press 'Thanks' if I helped!

There was a bug with version 8.0 of my application.
There is not an issue with Busybox V1.20.1.
I apologize for this bug, the application symlinked all applets to Busybox and on some devices there are applets which are unique to the device and should not be replaced by those offered by Busybox.
A simple way to fix this is to simply reflash your rom. You do not need to wipe or clear any data. This will fix the issue and you can update Busybox normally with my application as long as it is version 8.1 or higher.
I apologize for the frustration I have caused, please let me know if I can do anything to help you further.
I had no idea what happened to my WIFI until now. Thanks for the fix Stericson.
Right on... grabbed new updater, went through the motions, everything normal after reboot.
Thought i had phone in OP, but i'm running EVO 4G (seems a lot of people that had issues are on EVO too, don't know if it's related, but there ya have it)
Thanks though Stericson.
no problems here
I have it on my epic 4G and it;s working with no problem! probably a bad install uninstall and reinstall... just a thought
It was just an issue with my application, version 8.0. The bug has since been fixed.
Looks like most who have been hit by the bug are back up and running.
No problems here, Galaxy S ICS powered.
I'm still not updating. Droid x2 running cm7.2.0 rc1. I reflashed my rom this morning and the "smart installer" just keeps running. I have busy box pro.

No problems here, too
i installed it and it slow down my system boot, after the boot animation it's takes a while and I see the indication 'loading' on the widget and calendar......
nexus s 404 stock kernel and rom...su+cwm touch
now i think to uninstall it...but uninstall would mess up something?? and i have to get the pro version??
tnx
I don't think it's a bug in busybox, rather incompatibility with Android. I've been using devel builds of busybox-power (with extra progs) on Maemo and worked flawlessly. >= 1.20 works awesome
and regarding uninstall it...uninstall would mess up something??
and i have to get the pro version??
tnx again
It's not busybox itself it's the install program. I have busybox pro by Stericson. I've been reading other threads and he thinks he has all the bugs worked out. My" smart install" part of the program ran constant for days without installing the update. No way is this thing fixed. I finally had to go back to my last backup and recover. Then I uninstalled the busy box pro install app. I still have busybox the program on my phone. It reverted back to 1.94cm7 version which came with the rom. I'm not reinstalling that app until I know it's fixed. It really messed up my phone. I won't be receiving any updates but that's OK I'll wait. By the way I have a Droid x2 running cm7 dx2 rc1.

I got all excited and mistakenly deleted a few stock apps shortly after I rooted and updated to JB several months ago..before I started freezing them with Titanium...and now I'm not able to take the OTA 4.1.2 update. I'm Voodoo'd up and have Safestrap and all that and did the temp unroot in Voodoo and uninstalled recovery in Safestrap yet I believe the fact that a few stock apps are missing is causing my problem.
So, what would be the least painful way to restore the stock bloatware for 4.1.1, still retain root, and allow the 4.1.2 update to install? I've read a million threads but I'm still not seeing the clearest path quite yet. Thanks.
**edit**
I've gone through and found what I think are most all the apps I deleted..so now the question is it possible to obtain those versions and put them into the system folder?
Amazon Kindle
Amazon MP3
Audible
MC3
NFL Mobile
Real Racing 2
Slacker Radio
Youtube (system version)
Zappos
If your on 4.1.1 just use mats util to flash ICS stock reroot and protect with voodo then update. Be careful because unless u already have root you can not (as far as I know) go back to ICS after 4.1.2 and get root again if u mess up. So make backups and good luck. Also check this out if u did not update yet
