Hello community. Well first im new (yay).. Lol :angel:
Let's roll.. I got a Motorola Atrix 2 i tried the most recomended mode to root it but just show me this. (i cant show a picture cuz i need 10 post for min )
permission denied.
Operation not permitted
no such directory or file
The classic problem
Mine is
4.0.4 (ICS)
system ver: 67.220.3.ME865.Retail.en.05
Firmware: GAS_ASIA_EDISONHKTWNGNC_P012
There is a way to root it without do a factory reset ?

i''m sorry to say, but if root doesn't work without a factory reset then i suggest a factory reset.
and also please give a clear picture. like what root tool you are using.
You can backup your important apps and data with titanium backup and then do a factory reset

No root = no Titanium Backup.

I know this may seem stupid but have you tried this?

I literally just used this after FXZ-ing back to stock ICS this morning.
I just don't know if the ATT version of the A2 is different with Asia models.
Good luck! :good:

I see someone else having the same issue. have you tried both the universal cfroot and the one specifically for kpq? have you ensured to wipe all caches after installing? if you don't have much work done in adding personal stuff to you phone, why not try a factory reset at the same time?

Do you think I can repair only with a factory reset? But I lost my root or only came to the factory configuration.
Do you can to say step by step for root from 2.3.6?,thanks.

before installing cfroot, have you confirmed your wireless is working at this point? if it's working, read this thread to understand better what you have to do to avoid errors.
next try installing this kernel from utter chaos (v5t6, the one I use), and this cfroot (universal + extra, the one I use) and see if you still have wifi, which should be working fine.

Restore to stock

I have a rooted droid mini with pwnmymoto. How can I factory reset it? Using the option under privacy, it just reboots the phone. Doesn't matter whether I keep root or not, just need to get it wiped.
I would also like to know how to fix this for the future. I currently dont need to but my recovery is messed up and i only installed it shortly than removed it as I decided I dont think i need root this time around as the stock rom runs great.
I too have been looking for steps to wipe and return to stock. I think I disabled too many pre-installed apps and now sometimes Chrome won't open properly when clicking on links. I see the factory reset option under settings, but was too nervous to try that because I couldn't find anything on the net about if the internal storage is wiped. Not trying to lose all pics and such. For the Maxx to be a couple of months old I expected more when searching Google.

Factory reset doesn't actually seem to work....
My understanding is that pwnmymoto hijacks the stock recovery, which is used when you do a factory reset. If you can figure out how to obtain and flash the stock recovery in fastboot then the factory reset would probably work. Though, if you're going that far, you should probably just restore to stock entirely.
This guide should help, and this thread can point you to a place to find the stock firmware.
What about for the Mini?
you can easily return to stock, use RSD Lite computer program, just search it...or i can try upload it. After you get that app, make sure you have 7zip or something similar...after that, go to this site here > http://sbf.droid-developers.org/
there is a guide here but i may not be able to actually post...i am going to so i can help people who don't know how to return to stock...so, here it is
http://www.andromods.com/unroot-loc...k-xt1080-stock-factory-firmware-rsd-lite.html
mods if the link above isn't allowed, notify me or just remove it. Thanks and sorry in advance if i broke a rule
I was able to get my maxx back to stock with this: droidrzr .com/index.php/topic/28162-house-of-moto
I did a wipe with the twrp safestrap and hit something I shouldn't have. All I could do was get to recovery. Now she's good as new!

Wich firmware should I flash for MAXX? I have to edit the xml file?
This is my first motorola phone and I don't know how to do with this phone, until now I only flashed Sony firmwares with flashtool.
Thank you very much

Lost IMEI no data no WiFi, files only show in recovery, no efs Backup pls help

Hey everybody I hope someone can help me to rescue my phone.
I flashed carbon and ukm. Then wanted to change GPU governor to simpleondemand and got hot reboots. Was not able to fully boot and lost imei. I tried to restore my backup but they didn't want to boot either, same with another fresh install. Thereafter I deleted synapse folder through recovery and was able to boot my restored ROM. Now I have no imei, no data, no WiFi... In addition my files don't show the files on my phone anymore I only can see them in my recovery, all is still there. My problem is I don't have an extra efs backup only two ROM backups. First I would have liked to know how I can rescue my data? Cause its not showing on booted phone and because of that also not on computer via USB. Is there a proper way to save and what can I do to maybe save my phone. I flashed ROM for years on many different devices and something like that never happened before any help appreciated thanks!!!

How to update rooted android phone?

Hi all,
want to know how to updated rooted android phone as OTA doesn't work for root. Have been told KIES will brick the phone.
tnx
If you want the official update, just flash the new system image, and then re-root.
But do I have to unroot first and is there any risk of brick?
Not a huge risk of getting bricked, this is a pretty simple process. But just in case, you should back up all of your stuff. You do not have to un-root before re-flashing, just delete and clear everything from fastboot. If you are on a Nexus, this article should help you: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-install-android-factory-image/ Good luck.
Its Cannot Update After Root....
Cause Server will Detect Your Device Did a Unathourized Modify...
So Re Flash Stock and Update or You Can Download Latest Firmware And Flash It...

PS by just "delete and clear everything from fastboot" do you mean data and cache wipe from download mode?
Just take a backup of your present system
If you are new to rooting most probably you will make some mistakes so having a back up always helps and always knowing where the backup is stored
Just be careful and flash the new image after backing up

So, I falshed the 6.0.1 on my note 4, but now there is a new built from 25th May. As I already rooted the phone, I would like to know whether I should unroot first, or I can just straight flash that new built with ODIN. If I do flash straight away, will I loose root or any data?

I think he means that he has backed up in TWRP before trying to root.

LOL... Who cares what backup I'm talking about? That's irrelevant to the question, which was "does this require starting over?"
Let me try asking again, I suppose.
Does this require [mean that I'll need to be] starting over [Reformatting/wiping all data on device; 'starting' from factory settings] or could I restore a backup [the copied data from my phone to another device, in order to restore data] I made [after rooting with the method you posted]?

If you followed the procedure in post 3 the same in both telephones( same model) and both have the same firmware restoring app and settings , user data should be possible ...data of those apps i would not restore .

Does this imply that one backup may not restore data in this case while another may? I used SmartSwitch on a PC, Titanium wouldn't let me back up without root. Are you implying that it matters which backup program I use?
I wasn't planning to back up app data such as game progress, just apps, user settings and files.
I've already started from factory 3 times on this phone and I simply didn't want to go through settings again.
Regardless I think this gives me the information I needed, I wouldn't feel so bad about restarting my phone again just to root it, if I can get all my settings and files back.

Do you mean keeping the encrypted data from the stock firmware? If so, then no. Root always changes the encryption keys. Even the methods that allow root + encryption still require a wipe at first.
