Motoactv Rooting walkthrough paypal DONATION

Im trying to get someone to help walkme through the rooting process of a motoactv watch that I received for christmas. The device was recently rooted, and it appears that the process is fairely easy. I have limited rooting experience with android phones, and have jailbroken a few iphones, but have never had to mess with command lines, or adb. If someone is willing to walkme through the process on here I will be more than willing to make a modest paypal donation to them (we can discuss payment terms.)
I have posted the link website below for the rooting procedure. Also note that I am only interested in doing this as long as the core fitness apps and capabilities of the device arent completly destroyed, as this was a gift from my girlfriend and it needs to function in a fitness capacity. Im thinking that they shouldnt be affected, and that I probably will only gain the ability to delete them, but I could be wrong. I am also trying to learn from this expereince and am willing to pay if necessary to do so. Thanks so much, and hope everyone has a happy new year.

I have one on order. I thought the process was pretty straightforward. It is easier on a Mac or Linux as there are scripts that use zergrush already available. If you are unfamiliar with using the command line I would recommend finding someone else to root it for you.
I am rooting mine for Google music and adding watch faces but I am kind of tickled by the idea of watching NetFlix on a wristwatch.

Hi
I already rooted the MotoACTv that I have. But I am having problems installing the Google APPS zip file downloaded from the cynagoen web site. Can some one explain how to install this so I can get the Market up and running on the watch. I already installed other apps like pandora and they work. Only thing is that I installed this with adb install command and not the via the market. Would love to have the market working. Please help.

If you downloaded the gapps from cyanogenmod as you should have, you need to adb push everything that isn't an apk.
There are a few libraries that need to be installed. adb push filename /file/location/name is the way to do this. The locations match the unzipped folder names.

I also need step by step directions please, bricked my watch
I tried to follow the directions and I finally got the phone to root. Then when applying the new interface it must have not liked the commands I was trying to use.
Can anyone give step by step directions. It took me about 2 hours to figure out what applications I needed and how to use them so I am sure others would benefit from this.
The directions on that original post was way too vague for us noobs

Oh, no... Are you sure your watch is bricked? That really is awful... I thought mine was for a bit after I used Super One Click to root it, but I was able to recover it by holding Start + Power for 10-15 seconds then plugging it in.
It seems zergRush is safer -- I ended up with root after that, but a couple of others in the #motoactv channel on freenode tried it and ended up with the phone seemingly dead (though a start+power off like above fixed it) and without root.

I posted this in the other thread but I am impatient and figured it wouldn't hurt to ask here too so,

Okay so last night I attempted to root my motoactv but my adb for some reason say it cannot load the root.img, I had the same problem where it's couldn't load the recovery.img for my photon when attempting to apply CWM or twerp recovery. Fastboot devices definitely sees both my devices (no I didn't do them are same time, and the files needed are in the same file location as instructed) and I can even Fastboot reboot and have that work. Any ideas or suggestions?? Any help would be appreciated.

MOTOACTV update without Windows
I'd like to root my MOTOACTV. My clock is running version 4.53.50. To root I had to update at least to version 4.55.78. I found the file delta-ota-Blur_Version.4.53.50-4.55.78.Motorola-F100.Retail.en.US.zip but I've no idea how to flash that to my clock without Windows.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
This is my first post here so please don't hit me if I am doing something wrong.

[Q] Blu Studio 5.3 firmware

After deleted vold.fstab, the Smarthone doesn't recognizes the SDcard..

Now, the smartphone starts in the inicial page " Blu" massage and stop in this situation.
Dear Friend or others friends , do you know how i recovery this original android firmeware or or in preference " Blu studio 5.3 firmeware android 2.3.5" to re-install?
which program i use to recovery this phone? i use the same oneclick that i did the root in the beginning?
Please, someone help me if could...
sorry my poor english to explain, i hope you understand my little english words.
I finally entered in Recovery mode, just plugin the USb as a recharge and when the "Battery" is show in the screen We need press "+ volume with Power" for 5 seconds..
i can see the SDcard with Recovery mode but i tryed to open all the pasts and this did nothing.
i pressed REboot and the smartphone reinitialized in the same way , only " blu" in the initial page stoped.
I have in Pc all the Backups, but the smartphone doesnt open what i need, the firmware.
when i plug the mobile via usb in pc , the pc "see" a new dispositive but i dont have access to pasts ou system
when i starts oneclick to root or unroot the mobile for my surprise the model is recognizes as HTC Desire because few days ago i changed the model in the past using "root explorer" for my mobile be recognizes as HTC to download games and apps.
now, i cant change this too.
i dont know what i do.

If i buy a new Blu Studio 5.3 , can i copy something or all software in the new to pass for the "bricked" phone to triying it works?

android 2.3.5 for Blu Studio 5.3
Someone have the Android 2.3.5 for Blu Studio 5.3 to send? i accidentally deleted this and now i cant use the phone, it s only in the " Blu" initial page when i start one

When you plug the phone in USB, you say it shows up on the pc, and you have rooted it. Can you use adb on the PC to get a shell on the phone? If so, see if you can use adb to push a copy of /etc/vold.fstab back onto the phone.
---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------
Also, sounds stupid, but try removing the sdcard and rebooting.

Dear Friend,
As your phone goes to Recovery, you may try selecting 3rd option(i guess) to wipe and reset to factory. Of course you may lose user data in phone, but phone would be reverted to position as newly bought.
I myself am in same kind of trouble but worse.
I am new to all these and got into a REAL problem of late.
I have purchased BLU 5.3 510A product from amazon just a about a month ago.
It is stuck now and for some reason NOT showing recovery too. I tried all possible methods and searched help on web too.
I learned that with SP tools I may be able to flash stock stuff into it. But I do not have any backup of it as it was pretty new.
Would you be kind enough to provide me with the original dump or whatever required with adequate instruction for how to go about it?
Please help me if found a dump already as this is the ONLY device I have and I am completely stuck with no other option.
Or if your phone already started working kindly take a minimal dump and give it pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaassssse.
may contact me at bala(dot)kc(at)gamil(dot)com
Many thanks in advance for a QUICK reply.

Droid 2 Global root CD for .629 (not necessary to brick phone)

I have assembled a rooting CD for Droid 2 Global phones that have taken the .629 update.
I got the info on how to do this from phifc's post at
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29930-new-root-method-for-stock-234-621622-found-droid2-r2d2/
so all credit for this method go to phifc, djrbliss, and the others who developed the method.
I have simply taken the method, and assembled the tools for the Droid 2 Global.
Credit for the idea behind the CD method should go to 1KDS, as I have mostly patterned this CD after his method.
Credit should also go to Skrilax_CZ, as without his Motorola Android Firmware (De)packer, we wouldn't be able to have a CD under 50 meg.
I have tested this CD on my phone, and found it to work properly, but I can't guarantee that it will work for others. Others have also found it to work, but I can't guarantee you will have the same results.
You are welcome to try it, and I hope it is helpful to someone, but as with all modifications, you do so at your own risk.
Instructions for using this CD.
Download and burn this image file to CD. (or create bootable USB)
It might be a good idea to do a factory reset before starting this process, but you might be ok without it. My phone had already been rooted, so I had to sbf it back to stock, in order to test the CD, so I have only tried it after a factory reset.
1 Enable USB debugging on the phone,
2 Boot computer off of this CD
3 Hook up phone to computer (phone needs to be on at this point)
4 Start the root process by selecting option 1
5 When it says on the screen that phone needs placed in bootloader, (almost right away, as it only needs to send 1 command before placing in bootloader) power off the phone, and put it in bootloader by holding the up arrow on the keyboard of the phone while powering on.
6 when in bootloader and hooked up to the phone, press enter on the computer to proceed, a preinstall image will be flashed to the phone, providing the exploit that will root the phone.
7 When it has flashed, the phone should reboot. If it hangs when booting, unplug phone, remove battery, replace battery and power back on. When powered on, hook up cable again, and the process will continue (it will immediately reboot again)
8 When the phone reboots, ADB should be root, so it will push the necessary files to the phone, and reboot the phone again. Per Morlok8k, cache should be wiped to avoid bootloop problems, so the phone will be rebooted into Recovery.
9 You will have to press both volume buttons to enter recovery, where you should wipe cache partition and reboot.
If all went well, your phone should be rooted.
If you try it, please verify if it works for you, or gives you trouble.
Hope this helps someone.
I updated the CD (mainly just made it a bit smaller) and uploaded it to Mediafire
http://www.mediafire.com/?394ha4dzjtyqpqb
I also uploaded it to rapidshare,
https://rapidshare.com/files/1105339167/D2G_629-Root_CD-updated.iso
the md5 for the updated CD is
84ff5a572e98c3eb366cc6fec13f99d5
I also previously forgot to mention that this method works fine off a bootable usb drive, a CD is not necessary. I use Unetbootin to create the bootable usb, and it works well for me.
Update
Since there is now a direct rooting method of .629 available, I also put it together with an EzSbf style CD of the full .629 SBF.
One item of note with this CD, it does require at least 1GB of RAM in order to work properly. Also, if you only have 1GB of memory, and you need to both SBF and root your phone, it will be necessary to reboot the computer after flashing the .629 SBF. If you are unsure of the amount of RAM that you have, go ahead and reboot to be on the safe side.
The CD is available at
https://rapidshare.com/files/2650843793/D2G_4.5.629_SBF-and-RootCD.iso
and the MD5 is
579d7d5095fc2560205033456db150a2
So there are two CD's available, both of which work to root .629. The second CD should also work as a recovery CD, as it contains the full .629 SBF
There is also a mirror of these files provided by sd_shadow at
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-Oj1a1wNZKhZMPUqU_6KzzYzQJ2RKzvvumTx-41f3h4/edit

Cant wait to try this out.
I got a Gnex so since I had to replace my D2G due to a messed up keyboard and got a post 629 back I havn't really messed with it. Mainly just becuase I havn't had time. But I am definently going to have to try this. BTW, I have two D2Gs that I am looking to sell. Thinking I will put them on Swappa. Both are Verizon insurance replacements but becuase of that they are in perfect shape. One is white and one is blue. I hate to just have them sitting here when someone could enjoy them, so hit me up if you want to make a offer. Im pretty open price wise. Not looking to make a killing since they are older devices. I will also throw in a extra battery, two car docks, screen protectors, a couple chargers and....I think thats it.

Worked perfect but I can't figure out how to make a nandroid. Wanna make one so I have a reference point so I can take out bloat. Any help would be great.
sent from thunda down unda

to make a nandroid backup, you need to install Droid 2 bootstrap recovery

It looks like the download isn't available anymore, could anyone please re-upload it? Thanks.

Which file? I think ad_shadow has mirrored the files in another thread.

Thanks for the ISO bhigham, worked like a charm.
What I am having trouble figuring out is how to install cyanogenmod post root. I am following the instructions in the wiki, can't link due to new account but it is the Install_CM_for_droid2we guide.
And when I get down to the line,
Code:
adb push su /system/xbin/
I get a permission denied error.
See while my phone is rooted, the default shell is the non-root shell ('$' vs '#'). Apparently the old root method would give you a default root shell.
Anyone have any ideas how to precede here?

i think root failed, because adb shell should be root
retry
is phone rebooting to android os, twice after flashing in bootloader, or rebooting to bootloader?
if it's rebooting to bootloader, pull usb cable during reboot, reconnect after phone has completed reboot

not sure how you could know that, without superuser

Sorry, the vital information I left out is that when I type 'su' I can elevate to the root prompt. I assumed this means my phone was correctly rooted.
The phone did the double reboot into the Android OS and everything looked like it was working correctly.

if phone is rooted, you could try
pete's root tools or motofail, to push superuser
links in my list
sd_shadow's [Collection] of Links: FAQs, Guides, Rooting, SBFs, ROMs... - Google Docs

I actually have the superuser app on my phone already. The Root CD in the OP must have added it.
So if I got to the next step in the wiki, pushing the recovery bootstrap onto the phone,
Code:
adb push bootstrap-1.0.0.5-droid2.apk /system/app/
At first I get a read only file system error, which goes away away when I remount /system using,
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
But then I get a permission denied erro when running the push. Again I think this is because the default shell does not have root.
Is there someway to evaluate the privileges of the push command?

i have always found the easiest way to get apks from pc to phone, is
connect phone to pc in mass storage mode, drag apk to sd card
change phone to charge only, use file manager or root explorer
find apk tap on it, select install
---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------
app will not be a system app, but does not need to be, and on D2G I never installed it as a system app

Ah that sounds like a simpler approach. I just realized I don't even have a sd card on this phone, the person who gave it to me apparently removed it. So I just ordered one for the phone as I don't think it would very useful without one.

ok, not sure why you can't push it as a system app
if you have 3g or wifi available, download apk directly to phone
then use file manager or root explorer
find apk (should be in download folder) tap on it, select install
---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------
guess you can't download without sd card

So I got my SD card and tried installing cyanogenmod and got stuck on the Motorola screen. Not sure what I did wrong but I am reflashing the SBF to try again.

what file name?
where did you find it?
Sent from my XT862 using xda premium

I can't link due to my newness but it was kind of roundabout where I installed the droid 2 recovery bootstrap but then couldn't figure out how to get into clockwork recovery, so I went on the play store, downloaded clockwork from there and reboot into recover and installed the cyanogen mod from the official site plus the google apps zip. Then I wiped data and cache and rebooted but got stuck on the Motorola logo.
In the process of trying again. This time I got the recovery bootstrap installed and was about to reboot directly into clockwork with no play store needed. I was going to wipe data/factory and then install from zip. I don't see the point in creating a backup as I could find no way to restore.

official cm7 is still flashed on 2.2/2.4.33

[ROM][Deprecated]Lenovo Vibe Z - Rooted + Google Apps

Well, some of you might have had the same urge to buy one of these little wonder with almost the same data sheet than a LG G2 but with a Dual SIM functionality and at a much smaller price. If you are one of these crazy people that ordered their in China just like me, you might have the same disappointment that I felt when I finally received mine: the advertised SD Card slot is just a fantasy and all Google apps have been replaced by their Baidu counterparts. If the English language is indeed present in the Operating System, none of the installed application seems to understand this language. If you just don't speak Chinese just like me, you might end up wondering why on earth you bought a smartphone destined to Chinese people.
So I decided to turn this frustration into something positive and succeeded so I'm happy to bring you my home cooked ROM for the Lenovo K910. But first of all, the usual disclaimer:
Disclaimer
Don't hold me responsible if you brick your phone. This method have been successfully tested on mine but this is no guarantee for yours. You should obviously always have a backup of your data at all time if you're willing to install this ROM (or any other).
Safety measures
Like most Android phones, the Lenovo Vibe Z have many possibilities of recovery. I would advise you to be ready to apply at least this one:
Download the QSB file of your ROM (for example, mine is K910_SS_S_2_040_0039_131101.qsb). Google will point you to a Baidu site where it is downloadable
Put it in the folder /sdcard/SDFUSE/
Shut down your phone
Hold Volume Down and Power button for a few seconds
You end up in a menu with a "SD Card Update" entry. Move down to this entry using the Volume Down button then press ENTER or power button.
Make sure your ROM is available in the list
Cancel and reboot
If your QSB file is visible in the list, you should be pretty safe. If anything goes wrong, use the same method but apply the upgrade this time. Note that this method overwrite everything included your applications, SD Card, ...
What it is
The ROM I'm offering is:
An extract from K910_SS_S_2_040_0039_131101.qsb
Applying only to your system partition (your applications and data should be safe)
Rooted
Busybox-ed
Grossly freed from most vendor applications
Replaced by Google applications
What it is NOT
This was already some work to figure out how to reach that goal so it is not:
Bug free (I have at least observed a strange display glitch for the network icons which turn standard blue instead of Lenovo's white one)
A multi-language ROM
A ROM build from scratch like MIUI, Cyanogenmod, ...
A custom recovery (though this might come in a later stage)
...
Prerequisite
You should have installed:
K910 ADB Driver (available on the CD that appear when you connect the device)
ADB
Fastboot
Just check that your USB debug mode is enabled (in the USB Access Mode menu).
In any of these prerequisite is an issue for you, I'm ready to explain you further but you should also wonder if you are ready to go further because if anything goes wrong, you won't be able to properly act.
The installation
OK, enough talking, now some action. It is pretty simple actually:
Download the ROM and un-7zip it (mirroring in progress)
Reboot your phone in bootloader mode. Therefore, open a command prompt (no matter which OS you're using) and type:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Now your phone is displaying the Lenovo logo
Check that you can access the system
Code:
fastboot devices
If fastboot just return displaying nothing, you might have to run in Administrator/root mode. Under Linux, I had to use sudo.
Unlock the bootloader (this should wipe all your data if it wasn't unlocked previously):
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Flash the system:
Code:
fastboot flash system <path-to-file>system.img
Reboot:
Code:
fastboot reboot
That's all folks ! After your phone restarts, you should be able to use Google applications (though not all of them are there, at least the Play Store is allowing you to install the others).
What's next ?
I hope to be able to free some time to achieve these next steps:
Publish the script I wrote to extract content from Lenovo QSB files
Apply the same method to the last upgrade (K910_SS_S_2_040_0078_131203 ?). If you are lucky enough to have this version please contact me to see if you can provide the QSB file.
See if I can cook a custom recovery.
This is probably my very first participation to the community so I'll accept any comments as long as they are constructive :good:

Thanks!!!!!
Thank you so much, I'm crazy because I get the phone and to try, where is the link to download please??
Thanks again, you can post pictures?

Probably in the most complicated way possible: I extracted the system partition from the upgrade file, mounted it in my Linux, put all the needed files and authorization then flashed it on my device.
I confirm that the file is now available but I need a few more messages before I can add the link. In the meanwhile, I can send it privately.

Sure I get it, I also took little time here and leaves add links.
You could pass it private?
With your permission I'll share it on other sites of course directing people to this thread so they can see their creator and comment.
In several HTCMania we are waiting to receive the phone and while we're compiling everything.
Root on many threads where people are wanting to get and so far you're the only one.

I await your email with the link partner, and with your permission I'll share. A greeting.

This means that next upgrade will most probably erase all the content of your phone (again) included your data and internal SD Card. This also means that flashing the first version of my custom ROM will make you "lose" 500 Mb, at least until a release based on the latest version of Lenovo's original ROM.
This also mean that:
Next Custom ROM upgrade won't be applicable to the not upgraded phone (you would be certain of bricking your phone)
You will lost 500 Mb worth of storage on your non expandable device
This isn't all good news ...

This also mean that:
Next Custom ROM upgrade won't be applicable to the not upgraded phone (you would be certain of bricking your phone)
You will lost 500 Mb worth of storage on your non expandable device
This isn't all good news ...

They are not good news. but I honestly what I need are 3 things:
1 Language Spanish, but we already you can not imagine not doing anything?
2 Root, to be able to use apps like Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, etc..
3 Very importantly, GAPPS (Play Store, Gmail), but of course in Spanish or English.
Your Rom has 2 I need and it is very important to me and very many users, it is a great job and the first to do so was you.
I do not mind losing 500mb, but I worry that the next official update is dangerous for us.
Thank you very much for sharing the link. If you write more answers in this thread at XDA have permission to put the link publicly, I think the requirement is 10 responses and almost have them.

Apply the same method to the last upgrade (K910_SS_S_2_040_0078_131203). If you are lucky enough to have this version please contact me to see if you can Provide the QSB file.
You control by private (Because here I can not yet) a link to the version you want, I found on google, as I said I have not tested, I hope that this can do wonders lol
I also hope that I root Gapps and either Spanish or English: D

The few post I read about this are telling that it is close to impossible but I installed morelocale 2 on mine and it does add my language in the application that supports it.
Root is probably my top priority so it will stay available in the future releases
Play Store and GMail are present in the ROM and if you install morelocale 2, it will be in Spanish

This is the link on Baidu I also found but for some reason, I can't flash it on my device so I can't cook it properly. I have to be able to flash it first

Of course, the priority is Root.
About the Gapps in Spanish or Englis, the could include a patch?
If not, do not worry that you use MoreLocale2.
I'll try to find more links ... it's a shame it does not work ...

The good news with root access is that you can do a lot of crazy things. For example, I'm starting to understand why it is so hard to get this upgrade thanks to a network dump:
Code:
POST /reaper/server/config2 HTTP/1.1
Host: fsr.lenovomm.com
Content-Length: 131
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Connection: Keep-Alive

HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable: [B][COLOR="Red"]Back-end server is at capacity[/COLOR][/B]
Content-Length: 0
Connection: keep-alive
That said, I'm sick of coming close to the end and receiving a connection time out

Patience friend, I do not really understand how you could do, but I'm sure you will. Good luck ...

If I have latest version K910_SS_S_2_040_0109_131226 installed via ota update and push this system.img from previous version it's ok?
Really apreciate your work and hoping to be able to support you anyway. Keep working ! Respect.

This should work since the system it pretty much self contained but since I haven't tested it, I really can't be sure. Furthermore, this is a downgrade of your system.
If you have this version, could you check if you still have the image on your sdcard? This could be in folder /sdcard/lenovoota.

ok, here's the deal:
1. I tried to push system.img but no working, adb respond "failed: targed locked".
2. I don't have the ota file anymore BUT I have the K910_SS_S_2_040_0109_131226.qsb file. I poot this one in sdfuse folder and updated already before starting procedure with adb from above as you described, no problem just flashed it, btw it wipes everything.
So, my opinions:
1. Locked target issue could be determined by the bootloader beeing locked? Don't we need to unlock it somehow?
2. Can you reinsert root and gapps in this newer version K910_SS_S_2_040_0109_131226.qsb file?
3. How do you decompiled .qsbfile ?
Waiting for your feedback asap.
Respect.
Obs:
- we can use android-aio-flasher just to substitute from working with cmd commands... just sayin', works for me.
- reboot in recovery command doesn't work, just adb reboot bootloader, then lenovo logo appears.
- correct command for pushing system.img is adb fastboot flash system path to system.img.

You are right. I didn't know about android-auto-flasher, probably because I'm running Linux (which made my task easier to cook the ROM since the system partition can be mourned like any other).
I edited my first post with your correction and the link since I have now 10 messages on the board !

Well who are finding out that important things. Hopefully soon have new developments. I keep watching your work. I hope that more and more we are, I have put in all the sites I've found this link for more developers to come.

[GUIDE] Rooting Xtreamer Wonder - Android media player

Xtreamer Wonder - Android media player
Rooting guide
DISCLAIMER
Everything you decide to do with your device is at your own risk.
I take no responsibility for any damage caused by any of your root-related activities.
Introduction
This guide will help you to gain root on your Xtreamer Wonder Android media player.
It has been tested and confirmed working on all firmwares currently available.
How it works
Rooting method takes advantage of amlogic system update facility that can be activated using
Reset button. Rooting package contains my special modified version of original recovery image that installs all the necessary root components during recovery boot.
Highlights
- easy to use
- low risk of bricking - possible to reset device whenever needed
- won't void warranty - unroot possible by simply resetting device
- won't wipe any system or user data
- won't replace original recovery
Requirements
USB stick/SD card formatted as fat32 (NTFS will not work).
In case procedure below fails try to use smaller USB stick/SD card up to 4GB.
Instructions
1) Download proper rooting ZIP package matching the version of Android system installed on your Wonder (Kitkat or Lollipop)
2) Extract ZIP package directly to the root of micro SD card/USB stick and insert micro SD card/USB stick back into Wonder.
3) Turn off Wonder and unplug power cable
4) Disconnect all other devices from USB ports (including airmouse receiver)
5) Use paper clip to push reset button located below Ethernet connector
6) Plug in power cable keeping reset button pressed until device boots into recovery; then release reset button
7) Recovery should show either "Wiping" or just a progress bar without text
DO NOT PANIC, NOTHING WILL ACTUALLY BE WIPED APART FROM CACHE
DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS.
Wait patiently for couple of minutes for the process to finish, Wonder will reboot automatically.
Next steps are necessary for older KitKat firmwares only. In Lollipop fw, SuperSU will be installed during rooting process automatically.
8) After reboot, use play store to install SuperSU by Chainfire
9) Open SuperSU and confirm to update su binary when asked (choosing Normal method)
In case rooting fails
Grab supersu.log from /data/local/tmp directory on Wonder filesystem and attach it within this thread.
In case your file manager app is unable to navigate to that directory, you can use terminal emulator app to cd to that
directory and use copy command to copy out the log to /sdcard where you can access it from file manager app.
Unrooting instructions
Flash original firmware following Xtreamer's standard firmware upgrade instructions.
This will wipe all user data!!!

Cool... many thanks for your work!

do you know if i can install Openelec on the wonder?

AFAIK, it's not currently possible as OpenELEC does not officially support AmLogic chips.
There are some ports for AmLogic here on XDA but not sure whether compatible with Wonder.
Btw, I have built custom clockworkmod recovery for Wonder so it would be possible to flash different system if people want to get adventurous It's currently experimental but I have successfully made a nandroid backup/restore test with it.

Yesterday xtreamer released a new firmware (see in the forums) and i could not resist to experiment a little bit, because i was now safe that i have something for recovery. So i took an Openelec build from Kerber (google for kerber openelec) for the 812 chipset and replaced the the wonder firmware and flashed the openeelec build. You simply need to exchange the zip file.
System is coming up and so far everything was working fine, network, moview, audio, however, and thats the reason why i have gone back to android, the air mouse control buttons are not properly mapped and after some time the system begins to stutter. But I assume this ws coming from pressing different buttons at once. I hope someone will do some reconfig for the airmouse.
Flashing back to the wonder firmware was not problem.

Thanks for your job. I've rooted my wonder but now Kodi doesn't work. How about?

I don't think root has anything to do with kodi working or not. My stock xbmc works just fine. What are the symptoms?

@c0ldsun
Thanks for sharing your experience. I was afraid of flashing openelec as the installation package also replaces bootloader which could brick device easily and prevent reset from working

The stock XBMC work fine but the new Kodi for HEVC video file doesn't open when i start it and stay on black screen

I had too many issues on Kodi 14 even before rooting. Lag, black screen which could be solved only with reboot. That's why I went back to stock XBMC.

Of course but stock XBMC doesn't read HEVC h265 file

Thx for the root image, works fine!
But I am unable to write to the external sd-card, I tried to fix the permissions.xml but it did not work.
("SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD" from Google Play Store can not solve the problem.)
Can you write to the external sd-card? Any idea for a fix?
I was thinking we can solve this kitkat limitation with root permission....
Thanks for your help!
Greeting,
Wille

Yeah, it's kind of weird. I couldn't make it work either. Seems like ext SD is mount read-only so permissions.xml fix is not enough. After doing some tests I found out I can only write to SD when I use terminal to issue:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /storage/external_storage/sdcard1
The same issue I experience in my custom built clockworkmod recovery. I can't make backups to external SD. I believe there's something at kernel level driver that makes SD card mounting always read-only.

boot loop
Hi, where i cant get stock rom?
Any idea?
