Woah woah, red flag hold up! First it's highly suggested that you never swap that kind of file while Android is actually running, but I do understand our limitations. I would suggest you turn this into an update.zip, but I won't demand it. I DO DEMAND this however:

Please, please, please 'chmod 644 /system/framework/services.jar' after it has been pushed!!!

If not we could have A LOT of people with non-booting systems. dproldan probably didn't have an issue because Linux wouldn't mess up the permissions as much, but after downloading this ESPECIALLY to Windows the permissions could (and most likely will) get all messed up.

I pushed services66.jar (after a backup) via Windows XP, and I'm running fine without any issues (I'm still on 1.6.6 M8). I've rebooted several times, and no problems. WiFi is staying on consistently without using a power widget or any other 'stay on' apps I've previously used.

I was unable to 'chmod 644 /system/framework/services.jar'. I get an "unrecognizable command" error.

Ya this is not a good idea at all to try and do I tried flashing this on 1.7.3 and ended up it boot loop after boot loop no fun at all.

I finally got it back and booted up but my problem now is that I am stuck at 1.7.2 I can not up date to 1.7.3 and I do not understand why not all the up date system say is that your device is up to date and shows version MA 1.7.2 N8

Does anyone have any idea how to get the next update?????

Any help is greatly welcome

1.7.3 hasn't got the Golf application.

Thanks for the info I do not need the golf thanks thought is that the only diff?

ClearD · Jun 18, 2012

Motorola made 2 software branches for our device. One has golf, one does not. That is the only difference as far as I'm aware.

1.6.6 > 1.6.12 > 1.7.2 (all have golf)

1.6.7 > 1.6.13 > 1.7.3 (no golf)

Thanks for the update on this one question.
Is there a way to get in to recovery from Fast boot?
I ask because I am stuck at a boot loop I tried to flash the resinged-apps for 7.2 system and I did wipe the cache like it said and still stuck.

thank you again

I have just used the new tool and I am going to be gone for the rest of the day. I have not seen any problems right off the start, I am going to be taking bike ride today as well I will see if I find any problems.

So far I have installed GO Launcher v3
Drop box
lcd changer
so far I have not seen anything not working I have also tested that I still get notifications pushed to my watch, (yes they still work facebook texts weather )

I hope that the battery drain problem is gone I will report how the battery does for the day when I return tonight.

I hope you find this info helpful...

Well It is now all most 6pm about 3 hours later since the above post. Here are my thoughts on the battery.

1. It is a thousand times better !!!!!

Why do I say this, let me tell you my thoughts. I rooted my watch the night before. This morning I went and installed the above apps as you know. At this point it was 10 am with 90% of the battery left. I left the house for the day to see my dad few towns away about a 25 min motorcycle ride one way. My watch was paired to my phone and listening to the mp3 player for the whole trip there and back so total time about 1hr. Spent some time there and came home then spent about 1 1/2 hours cutting the grass with mp3 player on as well. Met up with a friend and we headed out to do some mountain biking. Turned on the workout for cycling, as all you know this in turn turns on the GPS so it tracks your route. Our total ride was just about 1hr, 8 miles long. So as you can see I have used it for a good amount of time today, even now as I type my watch is still paired to my phone. oh! by the way I also synced my workout. So you ask yourself as you read this long winded post what is left for battery now..... Ok at this very moment 8 hrs later I have an amazing 40% left so I would have to say the battery problem is no longer a problem.

2. Now that I know this is fixed I need to find out if anyone is going to make a simple stock rom with just the basic extra apps. Like launcher and installer apk and the rest of the apps needed to for the play store and to be able to turn wifi on and off. Well if anyone knows about someone making said Rom a heads up would be welcome.

Thank you for the update. I'm very happy it works.

It was one of those "it SHOULD work, so I'm gonna release it to test anyways" sort of things.

Thank you for being my alpha tester!

On to question 2; dproldan has released his stock rom, which looks amazing. I'll try to make an update also to my mod and see if I can include the launcher.

Try returning to stock (root tool) and then re-rooting. That's probably your best bet if you can only get into fastboot. Without ADB access, you can't get into recovery yet afaik.

OR: Try this command in fastboot:

Code:

fastboot -w

That will do a quick cache wipe in fastboot.

You'll know that something is wrong on the first reboot, also chmod is apart of busybox so you will need that.

Thanks for the help I have gone the return to stock way before and it will get it out of the loop. The bad part is that you know have to go through all the updates again. I have done that 4 time to night I think I will start all over tomorrow after work.

by the way where would I find this Rom that dproldan released to down load and try out??

Thanks again for the help

You could always make a backup to avoid having to redownloading the updates.

I believe it was a few pages back. He included pictures, and I think it was a 1.7.2 base if I recall?

Testing 1.1.6

so i just had my motoactv a few days ago, from amazon.uk (and i'm from belgium) so i have a EU version.
I followed all the latest posts and video's on youtube. The 1.1.6 tool worked with my 1.7.2 (also cant update to 1.7.3) but i also got the " two emulators" error.
In my case it was BlueStacks that was running on the background. I had some problems going in and out of adb for putting ClearDroid_MotoACTV_1.1.3_A on the sd. So i did the process like 5 times. I installed launcher pro and started installing dropbox, msn, facebook,skype, all the stuff from the market.

Wifi does go off after a while and i have to put it on again.

1 Big problem for me is that i had to "go back to stock rom" but the 1.1.6 tool put a US version on my device... I can live with it but it would be cool if there was an option in the tool that lets you choose between EU and US.

The keyboard was invisible when using dropbox, in messenger and skype and facebook the motoactv gave errors "force close" when pushing to much at a time.

After using facebook it went into a boot loop. I see the motorola logo and the led and the "complete action using" launcherpro screen but here i have 2 sec that it responds and then it goes back to the motorola logo screen.

I can put the screen off by holding power and start.

So i bought the motoactv to be able to use it as an android device but (not like in the youtube video's) there are still alot of force closes.

However thanks for everyone working on the "project", it's fascinating to see how "users" change the rules!

ClearD you are right it was a few pages back and this is what has been giving me all the boot problems, in less I am doing some thing wrong when installing it.

Here is the way that I have been installing it

1 wipe data (I believe that in his post he says just to wipe cache)
2 wipe cache
3 go to in stall zip
4 chose zip form sd card
4 then install said zip

I thought this is the correct way to install correct me if I am wrong please.

They need pushed via ADB to /system/app and chmodded to 644 permissions afterwards. They can't just be installed that easily.

For all,
I just want to know, if I install the software "rom stock rooted" I can install the launchr pro and I don't need to install the ClearDroid_MotoACTV_1.1.3_A?
Then I can install any file from google play?

Thanks,
Arie.

Hi I seen that Dproldan posted about his rom a few pages back.
My problem is that every time I go and on stall from cw recovery I end up in boot loop with it unless I am doing g something wrong.

To start with his link goes to google docs I assume that you just down load them all in a zip file. This is what I did.

I then place them on sd card go to recovery clear cache and data and install the zip right.

ClearD please give mr a hand with this if you can thank you.

One more question can I use your cleardroidmod work on 1.7.2

Need someone to test it, but that's got the latest boot image (for 1.7.2/3) worked into it.

Thanks to CEnnis91 for his AnyRoot flash that allowed me to get the image needed!

Hi,

I try to install this: MotoACTV Root Tool Version 1.1.6 and I get a Message:
This ID doesn't exist!

What I need to do?

Thanks,

Missing fastboot drivers

Hi could anyone shed any light on this problem?
I have used and rooted my 8gb device with no problems, yesterday I gave the return to stock a try to get the latest offical updates.
That all worked fine , but when I now enter fastboot mode and connect the usb to my pc I get the double tone and usb device not reconized message, and thus unable to flash anything.
Usb mode works fine in normal mode and I can access the storage area fine?
