Hey guys, I've never made any meaningful contributions here, but this may be my chance. I have access to a motorola droid, do we know how to get a system dump yet? Or would it even be helpful? It's a demo phone for the store so.. it's not going anywhere. I just installed terminal emulator on it before giving it back to the mobile phone guys. If there's any commands you would like me to run, just ask. If there is a way through terminal to make a system dump, tell me how in fairly plain english. If it needs to be connected to a PC, then it will have to wait untill tomorrow, I'll bring the laptop to work. If someone already beat me to this, just disregard.
Do you have root access?
isnt it just running eclair 2.0?
Thanks

How would I be able to tell?
Yeah, it looks like basic eclair. I didn't even open terminal, just installed it for later. I highly doubt they would ship a phone with root access, but I will check tomorrow. Isn't there a way to get a system dump without root though? I start work at 2pm PST so if we get a solution before then, I'll bring the laptop to work and kidnap the phone for a bit.
the easiest way of checking if you have root access is to switch to it (its like switching between a user and the admin on windows) but on linux the admin is "root"
when you turn your phone on normally it'll just have you on as a normal user... in your terminal you'll see either a $ (user) or a # (root) in the area before you type, to see if you have root access you can just switch user
open your terminal and type:
Code:
su
hit "enter"... if you have root access, on the next line you'll see a "#"
You could just take the phone in a bit then connect it to adb, fastboot and take a nandroid backup....
I mean a nandroid backup is almost like a system dump isent it?

Nandroid backup would mean he has a working modified recovery for the Moto Droid. which i dont think is here yet. correct me if i am wrong.
This is for anyone who is experienced with rooting using the rage method (command-line), using the Terminal Emulator, etc. I'm looking to root my phone, but aside from that, just looking to poke around and see what I can do at this point.
Ok, here's the skinny: I can get a temporary root (#) on my phone via the Terminal Emulator (will NOT show up in cmd.exe via adb) using the rage method, detailed steps are in my post here.
I can't push any files to /system after I get the temporary root - /system seems to lock up with any commands, like cat, attempting to do so (another post with details). However, I can copy /system files onto /sdcard, no limits as far as I know. Also, I can use dd to make a back-up of some of the mtd partitions. That's about the extent of the poking around that I've done after many hours of poring over other forums of different devices.
Where can I go from here? Can I use a different directory on the phone to try and push either su or Superuser to? Should I just give up? Haha.
I know that I already have my own thread dedicated to my phone and trying to figure out stuff for it. So, I hope I'm not stepping out of bounds by asking a question like this in regards to this rooting method...my apologies if I am being improper. My thanks and gratitude for anyone who reads this and can help me get to the next step, as little or big as that may be.
Hi,

Sorry you do need root.
Also if you are rooted just download a terminal emulator and type the commands one at a time and hit enter after each one.

What do you mean "in ADB run" ?

what is "mount -o remount,rw /system "?
what is "cd /system/media"
what is mv bootanimation.zip bootanimation.zip.bak ?

If you want to do things with your phone over and above what a 'normal' user can do then you need to do some reading and have at least some understanding of what you are doing. I would advise you don't alter anything if you don't understand the commands above as its very easy to do damage from the command line once rooted.
If you want to go ahead then please do gain more knowledge first so you don't mess up your phone.
I totally agree to that what Scott said.
But i'll help you where you can find some basic material.
Here you have one of a few basic guides on ADB. Also a few linux commands are mentioned. Here you'll find more detailed information on Linux commands.
Instead of installing the whole Android SDK as explained in above mentioned link i would recommend you to use Minimal ADB and Fastboot
If you have problems with the Native Motorla ADB drivers you can use the Universal ADB Drivers
You can also use Terminal Emulator (Play Store) as kaw202 already explained. Then installing Driver and Minimal ADB and fastboot is not necessay. But still i would recommend you to do that.
These are only a few links. There are much more guides here on XDA if you use the search function while typing the keywords into it

D855 successfully bumped. Thank you for your hard work
Bumped D855 last night.
Anyone else having a issue mounting SD card in TWRP? I have a Samsung 64gb evo just wondering.
is MTP mode .. "Download" mode ?
& will there likely be an easier streamlined way to do this in the future or are those ADB commands & all that likely to stay the way..
Anyone else pumped for some rom baking? I can't wait to get some stock android
I need a video know how.....I don't understand how to do it.....

Looking at some of the other threads, it seems you card is probably formated as exFAT and it needs to be Fat32. Read more here: http://teamw.in/exFAT

Or can I use Terminal Emulator ?

As long as you can get the file to the root of the sdcard (I simply plugged my phone into the computer and moved the file over using Windows Explorer), you can use a terminal program. If you are following the direction in the bump thread, you won't start adp. Just issue the three commands starting with "SU" and then the two other commands follow (one at a time).
Works just fine.
Thank you for your hard work!! !!!!!!

I'm just trying to think of how to do it all without cording into my computer..
so if I download the file.. move it to the root of the sd with a file explorer..
fire up the terminal emulator & do those commands starting with SU
I should be all good in the hood ?

I have been rooting and custom romming sense my first smart phone. You guys rock. Thank you!
so I rooted my phone using TowelRoot. Based on the thread, the unlock bootloader process will factory reset the phone if it isn't root using Stump Root. So can I just apply Stump Root on top of my rooted phone before unlock to avoid factory reset?
Use flashify and be done with it that is unless you want to do the adb thing

what thread?
the OP says it must be Rooted. this is so ADB SHELL can gain access to the System partitions.
PS ( after you connect to adb make sure you grant root access to SHELL) (should pop up on your phone)
I'm pretty sure i used towel root to ease your fears.
when you use the last adb command you should see some feed back about moving some data... "lots of bytes" moved to here in XXX amount of seconds thats how you know it worked.

You are right. I misread it. Thanks.
I saw someone else mention flashify.
Anyone tried it & sure it works?
Also I'm considering trying terminal emulator. 1 person said it should work.
Any other opinions?
Worried I'll do it & have a problem haha.
Flashify would be great too if it worked.
Anybody actually tried either?
most of members the old method didn't work with him so i decide to make a pre rooted rom

Tried many times, unable to get past the mounting of /system. Hard lock-up.
Edit: Had root on 7.0 finally. Looked like I was using the wrong sboot. I have too many...
Note: Tried to update superSU after I had everything how I wanted it. Lost root. Had to start over. Use caution...
I have gotten my phone rooted thanks for your help.
Now we need to find a way to bypass the system rw,remount freeze, which I think is being controlled by smu_protection or something like that.

I think you phone now is rooted and you can mount system as rw just start adb
write adb shell then write su it will ask to get root from your device and then retry if doesn't work with download any explorer app like root explorer and you can edit system from it

It works for the mount /system via adb? because I did it from root explorer but it freezes again, if works via adb, tell me, Im now in the 5.1.1 android rom version

Especially with Amaze. Tried to write on the system partition and it hangs until I do a fresh reboot.
Has anyone tried if Samsung pay still works after root?
Ok, I'm in this nougat rom now, but the writable system still as a dream for us. I'll go back to the stock and enjoy of my Samsung apps instead of freezing my phone. Has someone knowledge about change the imei of this device? I want root for this. Or, if you know how to reboot the lollipop rooted rom correctly, can you explain me how?

Unsure if it "works" or not, as I never use it. However... It is bothering me to add my VISA-XXXX to Android Pay after boot. I'd say fairly good chance it does, simply because this root has thus far not touched /system for most of us. I do believe that is the red flag for SafetyNet/Pay (but I dunno. It does ask me however...)
